Sandy began using s*bstances when she was 11.. Women's Shelter Series.

Sandy my heart hurts for you. I understand having the alcoholic mom. My dad died when I was 7 after that alcohol was part of everyday life. My mom was broken. She was also a residential school survivor. I started drinking at age 12 after being hit by a drunk driver who also killed my 10 year old sister. I suffered 2 broken legs and was in coma for 2 months. When i got out of hospital no one was waiting for me. I was so hurt, i soon turned to alcohol. I was a full-blown alcoholic at 17. Im now 58 and have spent my life with counselors and am healing from all that stuff that kept me drinking. I pray youll also heal❤

You should ask your interviewees if they have a PayPal account or some other way for the viewers to be able to send them some support.

That's a great idea. Thanks! I have put a GoFundMe link in the channel description, but your idea could be better. I'll work on it. Thanks again.

Hope you get clean again, youve done it once you can do it again. It takes work but from experience can say that its worth it!
