Monica Forbes shares her journey from opioid addict to CEO of Recovery United Inc.
Episode 7
Monday, 17 August, 2020
On the 7th episode of Sound Mind Monica Forbes shares how being separated from her parents at a young age and being sexually assaulted at 12 contribute to her feeling of not being good enough. Monica shares how she got hooked on opioids, and that her first drug dealer, outside the medical doctors she saw for a legitimate affliction, was a nice mom from the suburbs. It wasn’t multiple near overdoses that helped Monica into Recovery, but the things she learned in the five years she did in prison where she landed due to financial crimes perpetrated to feed her addiction. All of these experiences fueled Monica into becoming a role model, Recovery Coach, CEO of Recovery United and champion of those in Recovery.
