Today, Haelie Queen is taking us inside her story. Growing up without her biological father, she met him at 18, only to face abuse.
That trauma led her into addiction—Adderall, alcohol—and it nearly dismantled her life and marriage. But Haelie found a way out.
Now sober, she and her husband have rebuilt everything and are helping others do the same. Let’s dive into the truth of addiction, rock bottom, and the climb back up.
This is Haelie’s story.
