Quinn felt her addictive personality early. As a child growing up in New York, her first addictions were sports and dance. Anxiety and depression came along early as well and when she first started drinking and smoking weed, she could tell her relationship was different to her friends around her. They immediately filled a void that nothing else could.In middle school she also started a relationship that was co-dependent in nature and shaped her relationships for the next several years. She needed drugs and alcohol. She needed to be in a relationship and nothing would stop her from getting either. And with all of it, her addiction grew.After high school she got into her dream art school, something she didn’t think was possible, but then again the drugs were there to take it away and she came home again. Her parents tried everything they could. They put alarms on the doors and windows to try to keep her safe from herself, but as soon as she was out, she made up for the lost time, by creating a year's worth of havoc in an incredibly short amount of time.She attempted to move away from the problem again and again. Heroin and IV drugs entered the picture. She shuffled around Florida trying to find recovery. She ran endlessly until one day she couldn’t run anymore.Today she’s 4 years sober and works as a peer recovery specialist. There she helps others who feel like they couldn’t possibly get better.Tune In to Learn About:The Early Signs of Addictive Behavior: Explore how Quinn's addictive personality manifested during her childhood and early adolescence.
