A mother from Essex has revealed her extraordinary journey of recovery after battling a 24-year drug addiction that began when she was just 11 years old.
Charlotte Seaman, 35, from Clacton-on-Sea, was previously spending up to £3,500 a week on heroin, crack cocaine, and other substances before making the life-changing decision to seek help.
Now four months sober, Charlotte is rebuilding her life — and hopes to inspire others struggling with addiction to believe that recovery is possible.

Charlotte’s substance use began with cannabis at age 11, followed by cocaine and amphetamines by 12, and crack cocaine by the age of 13.
