After having a wonderful life then becoming an addict and losing everything .My job ,my husband ,my children family and friends.The journey to getting my life back has been the hardest thing I've ever done .My speeches have usually been to families of addicts and how to deal with your loved one who is an alcoholic or drug addict .The dynamics need to change by the loved ones who really don't know what to do .I can help with my speech how to deal with the loved one with the disease of addiction and also to the addicts on changing and recovering .However ,my journey and story could be to any group as a motivational sometimes funny but mostly dark .We can recover .I can and have done after dinner speeches which are a story that is almost unbelievable but true . Depending on the audience I would ask if they want the graphics which can be sexual ,chaotic ,wild but would ask first if the audience want the dirty details or a softer version .
