STICK WITH THE WINNERS! –

Dec. 9, 2025 – I am a musician, content creator, author and certified reiki and sound healer. My new album is called “Calypso Rising” under @SunsetSea13 on IG & Tik Tok and my YouTube channel handle is @Sunset_sea13

Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?

A: My DOC was IV heroin and fentanyl and I have been clean from it since October 5, 2018. I had a great 5 years in recovery from age 26 to 31.

I even had a podcast about addiction and recovery and a different healing modalities for trauma that I plan to start up again revamp.

Unfortunately, I started looking outside myself again for validation and got into an extremely toxic and abusive relationship with a psychopath after being clean for five years.

This relationship was comparable to a six-year IV heroin fentanyl addiction.

By the grace of my higher power, spirit guides and guardian angels, I was able to escape and survive and am now thriving again.
