Get ready for a staggering and thrilling journey that takes us off the beaten path of recovery. Did you know that over 80% of people with a opioid addiction, started with a legitimate prescription for a legitimate medical issue? And that is exactly the situation Shauna had found herself in. A legitimate prescription to control legitimate pain sustained from a wreck. That was when Shauna found herself completely submerged into the prescription opioid epidemic that had saturated post- Katrina Mississippi. Shauna, your ordinary soccer mom, was soon in unfamiliar territory as DEA agents surrounded her car and had her face down in a parking lot in Hattiesburg, MS in August of 2008. Her opioid addiction had spiraled out of control and had landed her into forging prescriptions throughout South Mississippi. But through those wounds came the gift of a second chance that she spends helping others lost in addiction.
