BEFORE I OPENED MY EYES

Before I Opened My Eyes is a raw, unfiltered memoir about survival, addiction, love, and the cost of staying loyal to the wrong things for too long.

This is the true story of a young woman who wasn't trying to be reckless-she was just living. Chasing love. Chasing money. Chasing stability. Running from pain she didn't yet have the language to name.

What starts as movement and momentum slowly becomes a lifestyle. Relationships blur into dependency. Survival turns into self-destruction. And before she realizes what's happening, the choices she made to survive lead her somewhere she never thought she'd be-prison.

Told with brutal honesty and emotional clarity, Before I Opened My Eyes explores trauma bonds, addiction to a lifestyle, motherhood in chaos, and the thin line between control and captivity. It's not a redemption story wrapped in a bow-it's the truth, told from inside the storm.

This book is for readers who want real stories.

For women who have loved the wrong man too hard.

For anyone who has ever confused survival with freedom.

This is Book One of a true story that doesn't end where you expect.
