The Downward Spiral
Samantha had always been a loving mother, but her addiction had consumed her. It started with a few pills to help her stay awake during long shifts at work and slowly spiraled out of control. Soon, it wasn’t just pills; it was anything that could numb the pain of life.
She had never intended to lose custody of her daughter. In fact, Samantha thought she was doing the right thing by leaving her daughter in the care of her sister while she got clean. But as time went on and Samantha found herself unable to kick the habit, she lost more than just custody.
Before addiction took over, Samantha’s life looked completely different. She was a nurse with a bright future ahead of her and loved spending time with her daughter Lily. They would go on adventures in their small town together and make memories that Samantha cherished deeply.
However, things began to unravel quickly after an injury forced Samantha out of work for an extended period. Without a steady income or health insurance, bills began piling up, making it hard for Samantha to provide for herself and Lily.
Desperate times called for desperate measures, and before she knew it, taking something to numb the pain became a daily occurrence. Her friends tried to intervene - some even offered support groups - but nothing seemed to stick.
Soon enough, child protective services entered the picture due to reports from concerned family members about both Lily’s safety and well-being under Samantha’s care. What had initially been meant as temporary accommodation turned into permanent placement elsewhere when they decided that Samantha couldn’t provide a stable home environment for Lily anymore.
As much as losing custody hurt deeply already; little did Samatha know things were going to get worse before they got better…

She couldn’t bear to face anybody she knew; even catching a glimpse of herself in any reflective surface would remind her of how far she had fallen. The thought of rehab crossed her mind often, but every time she tried accessing it, the lack of resources seemed insurmountable.
One cold winter night while searching for shelter from the biting wind, she stumbled upon a brochure for a nearby rehab center. It felt like a beacon of hope amidst such despair.
But as she read through it, doubts started creeping in - how would she be able to afford it? Would they even take someone like her? How could she leave everything behind and start anew?
