Someone Shot Me Up — I Didn’t Even Blink’ | Inside a Nurse’s Descent Into IV Heroin Addiction
Description
A nurse. A mother. A survivor. She grew up with addiction in her bloodline—and before long, it consumed her too. From snorting Oxy in high school to overdosing on heroin… from stealing checks to using with her own father… Olivia spiraled into a life she never imagined. But today, she’s seven years sober, raising her kids, and breaking the generational curse.
In this raw, unfiltered episode of Nothing’s Off the Table, Olivia and I dive into:
Her father’s drug/gambling addiction and abandonment
What heroin addiction really feels like
How gambling nearly destroyed her after she got clean
Motherhood in recovery—and how she’ll talk to her kids about addiction
The brutal reality of relapsing again… and again… and again
If you’ve ever battled addiction, loved someone who has, or just want to understand what it’s like to come back from hell—this one’s for you.
