Imagine hitting rock bottom, feeling utterly alone, and thinking there's no way out. That's where Julia Barker found herself after 21 failed rehab attempts. Strung out on meth and heroin, she was living in a trap house and working as a sex worker. But life had a different plan for her. After a traumatic event, she found an unexpected ally in another addict, Ryan. Their bond, forged in the depths of addiction, has since transformed into a partnership in recovery.
Now, they are proud parents to a beautiful daughter and have rebuilt their lives from the ground up.

Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, love, and the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
