As a recovering drug addict
of 26 years I understand the highs and lows of addiction and how it affects the lives of so
many people. I have worked tirelessly to fight against the strongholds of addiction to become a
beacon of light for others who are battling the woes of life. My message is geared towards
encouraging others to know it doesn't matter where you've been; what matters is where your
going. Felicia Lee-Sexton - driven by purpose and tenacity is a recovering drug addict of twenty-four years.
