Once lost in a world of alcohol, drugs, and crime, Autumn’s life seemed beyond repair. When she hit 13, she attended a sleepover that changed everything. That night, she had her first drink. One innocent sip. One puff of weed. One fleeting moment of laughter, and one step into what she thought was "casual fun." That single drink. That one puff of weed opened the door to a life she never imagined. For next couple of years, that was her life. Weed, alcohol and sleepovers. By 17, she had her first taste of cocaine. Before she knew it, she dropped out of high school—and that was the year she stopped dreaming. A few years later, things seemed to turn around. She had a good job, a car, and a roof over her head. But guess what? That wasn’t the end. One day, she bumped into an old friend. They reconnected quickly, and she was asked for a ride. That ride was the beginning of another journey-the one that stripped her of the peace she once had.
