"Once I Shot Heroin, It Was GAME OVER" | My Dark Descent Into Addiction
Description
Carla grew up in a loving home in Boston with a supportive family and big dreams of becoming a teacher. But one party after high school changed everything. She took her first Percocet—and what followed was a devastating spiral into opiate addiction, heroin, and eventually shooting up. In this gripping episode, Carla opens up about stealing $100,000 from her hardworking father, losing custody of her kids, and surviving a near-fatal seizure during detox.But Carla’s story doesn’t end in tragedy—it’s one of powerful redemption. After getting sober while pregnant, she stayed clean for six years before relapsing in a moment of heartbreak and rage. She fought her way back once again, regained custody of her children, and is now four years sober, living with purpose and using her TikTok platform to help others rise above addiction.
