Faye's Addiction Story
- Faye Evarts, Lauryn's sister, started using drugs at 13, progressing from weed and alcohol to harder substances like ecstasy and Xanax.
- By 21, she was homeless, struggling with heroin and meth addiction, and living in a shelter.
Predisposition to Addiction
- Faye felt "different" from a young age and didn't initially enjoy drugs, but once she started, her body reacted differently.
- She believes she has a predisposition to addiction, possibly due to genetics or family history.
Hitting Rock Bottom
- Faye realized her addiction was severe when she lost everything: family, friends, home, and financial support.
- The dealers even cut her off, and she ended up living in a trailer with a drug dealer who eventually kicked her out.
