She shares what her son remembers—being put to bed, waking up without her, and trying to help when he only knew “mommy was sick.” Through unimaginable loss, including the death of two sisters just weeks apart, Leslie reached a breaking point where she knew something had to change. From using while maintaining a job to navigating motherhood, CPS involvement, and relapse, Leslie opens up about the reality of addiction—and the moment she finally chose healing. On the way to rehab, she describes feeling like she “shed a whole body,” leaving her old self behind and stepping into a new life. After struggling with fear, doubt, and the belief that treatment wouldn’t work, Leslie found hope through Discovery Point—watching another addict recover and deciding to reach out for help.
