I realized that at the height of my addiction, I was taking pills a day, and I tell people this everywhere I go and they look at me and be like how people are so uneducated about addiction.
Imagine battling opioid addiction and emerging not just as a survivor but as a beacon of hope for others. That's exactly what Chekesha Kay Ellis has done. In this episode of The #RecoveryFirst Podcast by Freedom Recovery Services of Greenville, Chekesha opens up about her tumultuous journey chronicled in her book 'A Life of Kayos: My Opioid Journey Through Hell, Hope & Healing'.
She doesn't just stop at sharing her personal story; she dives into the importance of local initiatives and bipartisan legislation that support recovery efforts in her community and beyond. Chekesha discusses the grassroots movement Mobilize Recovery and how it plays a crucial role in fostering change. This conversation isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about turning that experience into a force for good, advocating for policies that make a real difference.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in inspiring stories, Chekesha's journey offers valuable insights and a hefty dose of hope.
