Meet Lyndsey Sprinkle. When 15 year old Lyndsey experienced a near-fatal car accident, she was forced to start over, back to the basics of learning to walk and talk again. Due to the extent of her injuries, she began to get into hardcore pain management and before she knew it, addiction took over. After years in the cycle of addiction and drug dealing, she reached a point of desperation. While she’s walked through a difficult path to recovery, Lyndsey has found hope on the other side of addiction. She wants to use her story and experiences to remind others that they are not alone and that it’s okay to ask for help.

This is her story.
