I Shot Fentanyl Until I Was Completely Unconscious | Jail, Losing My Daughter & How I Got Sober

Brittany Ellis grew up in a small town in South Georgia watching her parents drink and party. It wasn't until her oldest brother poured gasoline on a bonfire at 14 and burned his entire arm that everything changed. The doctors loaded him up with OxyCont!n. He brought it home. Her parents got hooked. And then Brittany did too.
What followed was 15 years of addiction that took her from pills to heroin to fent to IV cr@ck coca!ne. She married the man who introduced her to Oxy while they were both in the grips of addiction. She got pregnant on a run so bad her own dealer told her she needed help. No rehab in a three state radius would take her because she was pregnant. She tapered herself down at home with her mother just to protect her daughter.
Then she lost custody of that daughter for three years.
When her father died she drove to Savannah to steal his meds from the mailbox before anyone knew he was gone.
Now 5.5 years sober Brittany has her daughter back, got married and is working in the recovery field helping others find the life she almost never found herself.
This one is for every mother out there who thinks she's too far gone to come back.
