Today I have the pleasure of bringing on a dear friend since 2001, Ashley "Little A" Colglazier.
Ashley bravely tells her story of addiction and how it consumed her life. From marijuana, to alcohol, to cocaine, to heroin and meth she has truly overcome the monster of all monsters. We hit on the importance of self-love and how a lack of it can lead us further from health and happiness. Ashley is an inspiration to all those suffering from the chains of addiction!
Heroin is a semi-synthetic, highly addictive opioid that is made from morphine, a substance taken from opium poppy plants, and can produce intense feelings of euphoria.
During 2017, over 15,000 people died from drug overdoses involving heroin in the United States, a rate of almost 5 deaths for every 100,000 Americans.
Cocaine is a type of psychostimulant that was involved in nearly 1 in 5 overdose deaths during 2017. Almost 5 million Americans reported current cocaine use in 2016, which is almost 2 percent of the population.
