I Escaped Oxy & Meth Addiction—Now My Daughter Is Living My Nightmare | Ep 174

In this episode of Get a Grip Podcast, Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes sit down with Amanda Long to discuss her journey from addiction and chaos to recovery and purpose.

Amanda grew up with young parents and describes a childhood that often left her searching for direction and stability. As she entered her teenage years, rebellion became a way of life, leading her down a path of risky decisions and eventually substance abuse.

What started with pills quickly escalated into a much more serious addiction. Amanda shares how opioids and heroin took control of her life, the consequences that followed, and the challenges she faced as addiction became stronger than anything else around her.

Despite the devastation addiction brought into her life, Amanda refused to give up. She opens up about the turning points that led her toward recovery, the hard work required to rebuild her life, and the lessons she learned along the way.

Today, Amanda is living proof that recovery is possible. Not only has she found sobriety, but she now dedicates her life to helping others who are struggling with addiction find hope and a path forward.

This is a powerful conversation about resilience, redemption, and the incredible transformation that can happen when someone decides to fight for a better life.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, Amanda's story is a reminder that no matter how far you've fallen, recovery is possible.
