It was an honor to sit with Bex and hear her story—from being a meth addict for 10 years, with a young daughter, to being clean for 4 years. Her biggest motivation? Her daughter. She shares the moment she realized she had to get clean for her. The hardest part was admitting she had a problem and seeking help. But Bex’s story shows that asking for help doesn’t always mean prison or losing custody.
It’s not an easy road, but she proves it’s possible, which fuels her passion for sharing her journey.
We must offer compassion to those facing addiction. It can take people to dark places, but with support, more courageous recoveries like Bex’s are possible. Since getting clean, Bex has welcomed another daughter. Though we didn’t capture it in the podcast, she mentioned how different her parenting experience is now. Bex can’t change the past, but she can make a difference for those after her. Addiction doesn’t have to be your whole story; it can be just a chapter.
