In observance of National Women Touched by Addiction Day (July 23), we are revisiting our Big Blend Radio interview Tonier Cain, a recovered crack addict turned nationally recognized inspirational speaker and trauma care expert, who discusses mental health care and substance abuse treatment.
During her 19-year crack addiction, Tonier Cain racked up 83 arrests and 66 convictions. She turned to prostitution to pay for drugs, lost custody of four children, and, when she wasn’t locked up, she slept under a bridge. Cain is the subject of the poignant memoir, "Healing Neen," and feature-length documentary of the same name, which exposes her traumatic childhood filled with abuse, rape and neglect, and is also a testament to her amazing resilience.
