Strung Out, Trafficked as a Sex Worker and Stuck Homeless in Hawaii for Ten Years, Endocarditis and more, PLUS a Successful Methadone Taper from 170 ml, Christina Garofalo is a SURVIVOR

TRIGGER WARNING***

***sex trafficking, domestic abuse, assault, SA and pregnancy termination

My conversation today with Christina Garofalo will have you both laughing and crying. Christina is a survivor in the truest form of the word. I was blown away by her vulnerability, authenticity and the strength she has shown in escaping the world she was trapped in, making it back to her hometown and family in San Diego AND tapering down from an incredibly high dose of methadone (170 mL). Christina now has a sponsor, works steps, goes on twelve step retreats and does EMDR therapy - she has worked so hard to find healing, peace and safety and I am personally so proud of her.
