At 19, Tina had her first miscarriage and was prescribed painkillers for three weeks, to which she became addicted.
The second time she went to jail, she asked the jail to help her lead a sober life and she has been clean for seven years.
‘When my prescription ran out, I went back to the streets and never stopped. And as time went on, my tolerance got higher and higher, I started taking stronger drugs for cheaper price.
‘I tried to get clean but kept relapsing. When I was in my early 20s, I was inserted into the needle, and it spiraled from then on,” she added.
Tina noted that at this point she had lost everyone in her life and was in and out of jail after being caught with drugs in her car.
