Celia

Hey, My name is Celia and I have 3.5 years clean. I am from Las Vegas and I’ve lived here all my life so you can only imagine what my using days were like. I am a recovering heroin addict who was loyal to the foil until my last relapse in 2019 when I switched it up to points and added some meth in there. I knew deep down that that run was my last so I went balls to the wall and had the mentality of “I’ll quit and go to rehab when they catch me.”“They” being the cops. My boyfriend and I lived in a stolen 2016 mustang GT that was bright red for about 4 months but when I tell you this vehicle chose us I mean it. We found the key fob next to the avocados at a sprouts that we were scoping out for opportunities. Some opportunities we came up on were like filling carts up with merchandise and rolling out the front door. We weren’t so covert after a while. We had a long list of customers we boosted for and we didn’t hit the same store too often. We ran from the cops 4 times during this summer with the 4th ending in the ghetto bird flying above, 20 or so bike cops and me finding out that I had been reported missing by my parents a month earlier. I was so tired by this point because being essentially homeless in the summer in Las Vegas is realllllly hard disgusting work and being a drug addict is even worse so I was eager to surrender. I even stayed in jail for a while before calling my parents and even then I didn’t ask for them to bail me out. When I got out I had to sleep in my parents bed with my mom and my dad slept on the couch by the door to make sure I didn’t disappear because I had 3 whole days before a bed was available in rehab. Obviously I made it and I actually enjoyed rehab so much I didn’t want to leave. I fucking love listening to Dopey everyday at my big girl job because it reminds me of where I came from and I’m not alone all while cracking up at all the dopey stories and commentary. I have to stay undercover about being an addict in recovery at work at the request of my boss when he hired me so thanks for keeping it 100 Dave and fuckin toodles for Chris!! Xox
