A straight-A student with a stable family background doesn't fit the typical addiction stereotype, yet Courtney Propper's life crumbled with shocking speed once substances took hold. Her raw testimony reveals how college experimentation rapidly escalated to methamphetamine addiction, multiple arrests, and ultimately losing custody of her young daughter.

"From September to December I've just been doing meth," Courtney explains, "my addiction to this substance was not even a year long thing. It dragged me down that quick." What makes her story particularly powerful is how quickly methamphetamine destroyed everything she cared about, transforming from smoking to injecting within just months.

The crushing moment when Child Protective Services removed her daughter serves as the emotional center of Courtney's testimony. Yet even this devastating loss wasn't immediately enough to break addiction's hold. It took multiple arrests, jail time, and the realization she was rapidly approaching death before surrender became possible.

Courtney doesn't sugarcoat the difficult road back. Her recovery journey stretched over four years before regaining custody of her daughter—time she now recognizes was necessary to build a solid foundation. "If I had got my daughter back when I thought that I needed her back, there's a 99.9% chance I probably would have relapsed," she reflects, acknowledging divine timing in her restoration process.

Now married, sober, and raising her daughter with a renewed faith foundation, Courtney's testimony offers hope that even from the darkest places, complete transformation is possible. Her vulnerability in sharing these painful chapters creates a powerful reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate, but neither does the opportunity for redemption.
