Fergie Uses Her Story Of Addiction And Recovery To Inspire Others
Fergie, a.k.a. Stacy Ferguson, offers more than just moral support to recovering drug addicts- she offers her own experience of addiction and recovery. Fergie’s story of crystal-meth addiction comes out in the August issue of Marie Claire, told by the musician herself during a meeting of women with AIDS and HIV at a Harlem community center.
In the Marie Claire recap, Fergie sits in on a support group meeting and ends up sharing her own story with the women in the room. Her crystal-meth addiction followed a period when she felt lack of direction and creativity, after having been a successful child actress.
“I went on a downward spiral. I lost friends, family. Anyone who disagreed with my way of life, I cut them out.”
Through it all, and after many rock-bottom moments, she was able to make the decision to turn her life around and seek help from her family.
“It’s all about that moment when you have to make a life change – and you find the strength. I understand that,” Fergie said. ”I call my therapist every other day. It’s not a one-stop shop. You have to push away all that negativity in your head. Face it, name it, let it go.”
Coming from one very famous and successful woman, this story is both poignant and personal. We’re impressed with Fergie’s willingness to help others by sharing her own difficult story. She’s truly a healthy role model today!
