Episode description
In this Part 2 of 2 episode we welcome Nicolette back who shares her brave story about her terrifying slide into devastating drug addiction and her brave battle into sobriety with a devastating relapse. She is now a survivor and we are so proud of her as she just completed her full 1 year of sobriety.
In this episode she tells the details of how she went from being a functioning addict to a non functioning one and how her grades started slipping and she started to party more and more.
She talks about the time when her drug use escalated and she was playing Russian roulette with mixing all different drugs and alcohol and eventually snorting cocaine etc. She got severely depressed and as her drug use got worse so did her depression.
She got put on the antidepressant Lexapro that made her feel worse than ever. She then spiraled further and further out of control and started cutting. Nicolette shares the story when she was rushed to the ER and put on a 5150 psychiatric hold and was placed on suicide watch.
From there things really started spiraling out of control and she ended up Overdosing while injecting drugs.
Thank God she survived and she then made a promise to change her life and becomes clean and sober for good.
