This is Abby Fickley’s addiction recovery story—from early alcohol use in high school to postpartum depression, Xanax, and Percocet abuse that spiraled into IV heroin use and multiple rehab stays. Abby shares how relapse, jail threats, and a powerful disownment letter led to lasting sobriety, and how she’s now a thriving sober mom, speaker, and advocate.
