Addiction recovery, fentanyl crisis, pill addiction, life after drugs, real recovery story—Tamara “Teda” Artis walks into the WAGM studio and tells a story that will shake your spirit and open your eyes.From losing her mother in 2019 to drowning in toxic relationships and feeling completely alone, Teda turned to pills to numb the pain. What started as Percocet's quickly spiraled into taking up to 24 pills a day, then eventually fake pills laced with fentanyl. Her body began to shut down—numb legs, constant sickness, and days where she couldn’t even get out of the bed.At her lowest point, she cried out for help. Even her own children saw how sick she was and gave her money just so she wouldn’t suffer. But that moment became a turning point.Now, more than four years clean, Teda shares how weekly recovery meetings, faith in God, and a decision to fight for her life changed everything.This episode is raw, real, and unfiltered. If you or someone you love is battling addiction, this conversation could be the wake-up call or the hope you’ve been waiting for.Watch. Share. And let this testimony reach someone who needs it.🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬.https://www.youtube.com/@WaitAGamMinutePodcast/?sub_confirmation=1 ⭐⭐⭐Audio Podcast is currently on your favourite platforms:ApplePodcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wait-a-gam-minute-podcast/id1554676679 Google Podcast:https://music.youtube.com/googlepodcasts #addictionrecovery #WAGMpodcast #FentanylCrisis #RealStories #SobrietyJourney24 Pills a Day to 4 Years Clean: Teda’s Raw Fight Against Addiction
