"I think she saved my life in many ways. I wouldn't have gotten sober if I hadn't have had her. I got sober when I was pregnant with her. And I stayed sober because I wanted her to have a conscious mother. I don't know that I would've survived had I not have had her."
The interviewer revealed that having her daughter Atlanta at age 19 was the turning point that led to sobriety and likely saved her life. She got sober during pregnancy and stayed sober to be a conscious parent, breaking what she described as generational trauma. Atlanta shifted her focus away from destructive self-absorption toward caring for someone else.
