Rhonda has battled addiction, strokes and more. Today she's giving back and making a difference. This is her story. Thank you to the Hope Community Center in Amelia, Ohio for allowing me to record there. Thank for those who financially support the series.

    I’m so proud of Rhonda! She’s out there saving lives everyday by sharing her story and genuinely caring about others that many have turned their backs on. Thank you for being brave enough to share!

    That story went from unbearably depressing to totally inspiring in about a five minute span. Thumbs up!
  • I will make more vids talking about my drug use too making videos that's really helpful like your video thanks for your story!

    Thank you Rhonda and Thank you Shane. Never quit trying to quit. This is my 14th attempt to get clean in 2019 alone. It gets a bit easier every time. And lasts a bit longer each time too.
  • Wow, well done Rhonda - and to take on your teenage niece and nephew too. Amazing.

    I can't tell how proud I am of you, but I will try. You talking about your drug addiction is an amazing statement of far you are from with that lifestyle. It's great to see that you can talk about you've dealt with it. You're an inspiration to everyone and not just the addicted community. After listening to this YouTube, it's clear to me that you wanted to deal with your addictions. From telling the doctor that you weren't taking Oxy for pain but to get high to you telling the judge that you will just go back to using if she released you, that tells me a couple of things: 1. If you were truly destined to live your whole life addicted, you wouldn't have been honest with these people that could use their position to get you off of it. That is probably the thing makes me proudest of you. Since you were a little girl until now, you've always been a smart one. Congratulations to you. Keep working every day to drive yourself towards being the best you that you can be! Keep it up!!!! Proud of you!!!

    ACA (adult children of alcoholics) is a great fellowship for children who grew up in alcoholic/addicted homes and or dysfunctional families. I am a member as well as a recovering addict
  • I watch content like this all of the time. It’s all I watch. This story was more inspirational than most. Being able to convey what you were doing and how you went about gathering community support are really relevant. I’m not suggesting that the other parts are irrelevant, but I really want to start some type of outreach. I want to help struggling addicts, in meaningful ways, to fight their way back. I’m not even sure where to start, but these videos are helpful, and keep me hopeful. Thank you for sharing and God Bless
  • I like to watch videos like this just to see is there still hope with my 30 years old son who struggles with alcohol addiction 😢
