20 YEARS OF
At the age of 3 I began being sexually
abused by relatives and friends of the
family. This caused great psychological
trauma. My father was an alcoholic and
besides taking me with him to bars, he
also gave me alcoholic beverages to
drink. This became my first addiction.
At the age of 15 I got pregnant and was
a mother at 16. I had to leave school and
because I couldn’t financially support
my daughter, I started working as a
dancer in a nightclub. I worked there for
6 years. There, I got involved with drugs
such as ecstasy, acid and more alcoholic
beverages, and used them every day
to be able to sell my body and make
money.
After some time, I became pregnant
again but decided to get an abortion.
I met another man and got pregnant
again, and had my second child. But
he left me for another woman. So I got

some plastic surgery to improve my
body. An infection spread and I almost
died. The doctors gave me morphine
tablets (synthetic heroin), and this is
when I became addicted to heroin,
cocaine and methamphetamine.
I ended up arrested for trafficking large
amounts of morphine tablets. I was in
prison for 5 years, spending loads of
money on lawyers so I wouldn’t remain
locked up for 15 years.
For this reason, I lost custody of my son
and sank deep into the underworld of
crack, marijuana and mushrooms for 10
years. Then, I started working for a pimp
who told me to sell my body in exchange
for drugs. I reached the point of selling
myself for $3 or just in exchange for
drugs. He collected the money and gave
me drugs.
