Support Jahsiah's Journey to Recovery and Wellness

Hi, my name is Jahsiah Brown.

I’ve been struggling with addiction since I was 14 years old. I’ve had times where I stayed clean, but truthfully, for the past 10 years, addiction has been a huge part of my life.

Over time, it’s gotten worse. This past year, I ended up on harder drugs, and I’ve watched myself lose more and more — my emotions, my relationships, my finances, even my future.

I was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and when you mix that with addiction, it’s a dangerous combination.

I always told myself I was a good person — and deep down, I still believe that. But I can’t ignore it anymore: the way I’ve treated people, the way I’ve handled my life, it’s not who I want to be.

I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter who deserves better from me. I’m tired of hurting the people I love, and tired of losing myself.

I’m blessed that my family helped me gather most of the money for a treatment center, but I still need a little more help to cover the full cost and secure my spot.

On top of that, I recently found out I have a condition called spondylolisthesis — one of my vertebrae slips forward and presses on my nerves, causing daily pain. I lived with it for years thinking it was just normal back pain. Looking back, I realize dealing with that pain is part of why I started self-medicating. Getting treatment for both my mind and my body is the only way forward.

I’m reaching out because if I don’t change now, I honestly don’t know where my life will end up. I want to heal. I want to be there for my daughter. I want to be someone my family can be proud of.

Any help — even just sharing this — would mean more than I can put into words. Thank you for reading and for believing change is possible.
