She OD'd 11 Times In 3 Days! | Episode 41

In this raw and gripping episode, Louis sits down with Sannavah, a woman whose story defies belief. Over the course of just three days, she overdosed eleven times — with her very first overdose caught on national television on Live PD. That moment marked the beginning of a downward spiral into addiction, jail, and a life that felt impossible to escape.

Louis guides the conversation with compassion and honesty, pulling back the curtain on the darkest parts of Sannavah’s life. She opens up about using IV drugs behind bars, smuggling narcotics into jail, and the revolving door of failed treatment attempts. Nothing could break the cycle — not near-death, not incarceration, not hitting “rock bottom.”

But then, something shifted.

It wasn’t her first time in treatment — far from it. But for the first time, something clicked. In the midst of chaos, Sannavah found the smallest flicker of hope — and chose to fight for her life.

This episode goes far beyond addiction. It’s about resilience, transformation, and the raw, unfiltered truth of recovery. Louis creates space for Sannavah to tell her story in full — no shame, no sugarcoating — just brutal honesty and the undeniable power of survival.

Emotional, unflinching, and unforgettable — this is a story that will stay with you long after the episode ends.
