Presenter: Julie and PeterLength: 59:02
Key Points:
Nicole opens up about a childhood marked by violence, addiction, and instability.
She shares how her first addiction wasn’t drugs, but the fast money of sex work.
Her drug use escalated quickly—within months she was using meth and heroin intravenously.
Nicole describes how a moment of truth with her children led to her first attempt at getting clean.
After relapsing, she found long-term recovery and now supports others through her work at Quest Center for Integrative Health.
Her story is one of resilience, radical honesty, and the importance of finding support.
Quote:“People in recovery are worth investing in. All we need is for someone to see us—and to show us how to believe in ourselves.” – Nicole S.
