Colleen's relationship with hard drugs started in high school. Meth quickly became her drug of choice thanks to its incredibly addictive, toxic, chemical makeup. Troubles with employment, law enforcement, and damaged relationships were hallmark to her time in active addiction until March 18, 2005 when Colleen stepped into her power and reclaimed her life.
Supported by the love of her family, a boss who saw her potential (and was also a recovering meth addict), plus her support network of friends, Colleen took daily action to rebuild her life after years of living in the depths of despair.
Now approaching her 20th birthday meth free, Colleen lives a life filled with purpose, gratitude, connection, and strength. Her story reminds us that it's never too late to change, there's no wrong way to get clean, and that even in the most excruciating moments of hopelessness, hope is there whether we can see it or not.
