I Started Shooting Heroin at 15 | Human Trafficked, Prison, and How I Finally Got Clean & Sober

At just 15, Alyx was shooting heroin. By 18, she had survived jail, r*pe, and being trafficked in a drug-fueled underworld. In this brutally honest interview, she opens up about the trauma, addiction, and darkness that nearly took her life — and the moment she finally broke free. Now a sober mom and recovery professional, Alyx shares how she found healing, purpose, and peace. This is one of the rawest and most inspiring stories ever told on Rise Above. Watch until the end — her comeback will leave you speechless.
