The Seventeenth Conviction

De: Dierdre Joy

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A very candid look at one woman’s journey into the depths of addiction and the very challenging road back. Dierdre didn’t really stand a chance. She, like so many others, was just history repeating itself. The child of chemically-dependent parents, she grew up to become a meth addict and a thief, eventually landing in the state prison. She takes you with her on her honest assessment of life as an addict. As her own worst enemy, she wreaked havoc on her life, her relationships, her children, and her body. Any hope of ever being more than a felon was permanently destroyed. Or was it? Dierdre spent many years trying to prove that as an adult, the choice was indeed her own. Even as she encountered roadblock after roadblock of her own making, she refused to believe she was doomed to be only the sum of all her bad decisions.
