I’m 3 and a half years clean after going to white county jail and then prison. There’s so many others I was in there with we have so many success stories. I like this article. There’s millions that never make it out of addiction and take it to the grave, or back to jail over and over. I kept hearing Kelli Mchughes name all the time for the 8 months I was in jail. She gave them girls hope to get clean out of jail and live better lives. It’s hard to change so I’m proud of Rebecca! Of course I went to prison and I went to a very special place in Newport after and they have helped transform us into totally different person.
