Description
Addicted City is my story—one born from chaos, carved by trauma, and complicated by addiction. I didn’t grow up dreaming of writing a book. I grew up trying to survive. Long before I understood what trauma was, it had already started shaping every part of me.
I never knew my father. Violence, instability, and fear were constants in my early life, and that fear followed me like a shadow. As I got older, I turned to drugs—not because I wanted to die, but because I couldn’t stand feeling alive. Addiction didn’t just numb the pain; it became the pain, dragging me deeper into a version of myself I barely recognized. I tried so many times to claw my way out, only to fall back in. Still, somewhere in the wreckage of it all, I found something that looked a lot like resilience.
This book isn’t just about addiction, or trauma, or pain—it’s about what happens when you decide to fight your way through all of it. It’s about the people who stood by me when I couldn’t stand on my own. It’s about betrayal, and heartbreak, and starting over more times than I can count. It’s about the moments I wanted to give up—and the ones that kept me going.
Addicted City is my journey toward healing, toward reclaiming a sense of self, and toward believing—however slowly—that I deserve a life beyond survival. This is not a story tied up with a neat ending. This is real life. And I’m still living it.
