A rebel at heart, Briana battled depression as a teenager, and she ran away from home several times and then stayed at a teen mom group home but lost her spot while giving birth to her twins. Briana's spiritual mentor fostered her until she was eighteen. And, for a few years, Briana lived a good life. She got a job, a place, and a car; and raised her kids. Yet, something was still missing, and she sought to fill that void. Briana hung out with friends on weekends at first. The addictions slowly snuck up on her. Before she realized what was happening, she totaled her car, got fired, and her grandmother took custody of her kids. Then she got sick with a heart infection, and the doctors gave her little hope. But somehow, she pulled through. She got a second chance at life—yet that wasn't enough for her to get clean—she was too lost in her addiction.

Before long, Briana started getting in trouble and found herself in jail; her probation officer recommended Gospel Rescue Mission when she was released. At first, she was just trying to get through her first thirty days, but then the Holy Spirit performed a work in her life. Listen to her story of transformation as she talks to us about her struggles in addiction and the new life she has found.
