Personal Journey
Lacy achieved sustained recovery on November 7, 2024, following a 25-year struggle with alcohol and cocaine dependence alongside co-occurring bipolar disorder. Her path included eight inpatient treatment programs, three psychiatric hospitalizations, and multiple outpatient services. Motivated by personal faith and a commitment to her children after losing their father to an overdose, Lacy chose to rebuild her life with honesty and purpose. Today, she draws directly on her lived experience with substance use and mental health management to model hope, resilience, and peer-to-peer support for individuals navigating their own recovery journeys.
