My Fair Junkie with Amy Dresner
Growing up in Beverly Hills, Amy had it all.
But at 24, she started dabbling in meth in San Francisco and her addiction was unleashed.
On Christmas Eve of 2011, she was arrested for felony domestic violence with a deadly weapon.
Within months, she found herself in a psych ward, penniless and divorced.
Amy also faced 240 hours of community service where she would be forced to sweep up syringes (and worse) on Hollywood Boulevard.
This is where things started to change.
"I realized that no one was coming to save me."
She decided to enter sober living, re-join a 12 Step program, and do her best to get her life back on track for good this time.
After reflecting on how she would start to rebuild her life in her 40s, she dove into writing.
Amy has been a regular columnist for The Fix, Addiction.com, Psychology Today, Vice, and she wrote a memoir about her story titled, "My Fair Junkie."
She also recently started a podcast called Rehab Confidential.
Today Amy is more than 7 years sober.
You can find her book "My Fair Junkie A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean" on Amazon.
