American Addiction Centers (AAC) presents “Far From Finished,” a weekly podcast that shares the real-life stories of people who survived substance abuse to thrive in recovery.

At the age of 10 Bianca decided to try heroin. That eventually led to her selling drugs. She can recall at the age of 11 having a kilo of heroin in her backpack. By 16 she began to shoot up heroin. Her addiction had reached a point where she found herself in a psych ward. Bianca would celebrate her 18th birthday in a mental hospital. All she cared about was herself and heroin.

She can remember talking to her Mother and telling her that she was tired of life with addiction. She was tired of being a horrible person. Bianca had gone from 160 to 97 pounds. After detoxing in treatment, Bianca began the process of recovery. She didn’t want to begin a cycle where she would go to treatment multiple times. Bianca wanted this to be her first and last time, and if it meant saying goodbye to the love of her life, (heroin) then she was okay with that.

Treatment has truly expanded Bianca’s mindset. She now has the willpower to say no. She’s grateful to be alive. Bianca knows life can be rough, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel no matter where you are.
