LAUREN'S STORY: IN HER OWN WORDS

 

“The first picture is of me when I was in full blown meth, heroin and fentanyl addiction. Yes, I know the picture is raw and gross but this is REAL ADDICTION. A look of me at my lowest. Recently, I celebrate 9 months clean and sober!  Today, I can wake up every morning and I don’t have to worry about how I’m going to make it through the day. Today, I don’t have to worry about if I’m going to end up in jail. Today, I’m holding down a full time job. Today, I’m living on my own for the first time in my life. Today, I’m beyond happy with my life and don’t want to die every day. Today, I don’t cry all day, every day. HAPPY 9 MONTHS TO ME!”

Eric's Heroes: The Redemption of Ginny Burton

Eric's Heroes: The Redemption of Ginny Burton

Ginny Burton was introduced to marijuana at the age of six. She was using meth at age 12, and by 14 she was smoking crack. At 16 she was raped by a man who bought drugs from her mother. By 17 she'd attempted suicide for the first of many times. She got pregnant and the baby’s father was shot and killed. At 21 she started shooting heroin. By 23 she was a hardcore heroin addict. Today, Ginny is a different woman. A graduate of the University of Washington, Ginny wants to change the world. To know Ginny Burton's story is to believe that no soul is irredeemable. To look at her before-and-after pictures is to understand that truly, anything is possible. "My story isn't an accident," she said. "I think it will be used for everybody else. Maybe I can be some kind of Pied Piper, to help people recover their own lives. That's what I care about. There are some days that I wish I could just slip away here, with a garden, and open up a little cafe. But in reality, I know it's my job to continue to create hope."
