Georgina got clean in the room of Narcotics Anonymous. All her knowledge on recovery comes from the 12 steps program. Growing up, there were a lot of trauma, violence and alcohol around.

When Georgina’s father passed away at the age of 9, her mother couldn’t cope. Georgina took over the household, became a little adult and ran the house. As soon as her mother got together with her stepfather, he started to groom her, and the sexual abuse began at age 11, continuing on for another 8 years. She found a way to escape through substances, with the following years ensued by addiction, bad relationships and at times, heavy domestic violence.

Georgina is now 26 years clean. After all she has been through, she is an incredible mother and a good friend with a heart of gold.
