The DARKEST Recovery Interview I’ve Ever Done: 23 Years An Addict
6/11/202654 min
Charlotte Seaman shares her harrowing 23-year journey through extreme drug addiction.
With 77 convictions, multiple prison sentences (including at 13 in an abusive facility), prostitution, robbery, psychosis, trying to end it, and giving birth to three children while addicted, Charlotte's story is one of the darkest you'll ever hear.
But it has a powerful happy ending. She’s now nearly 500 days clean, a mother rebuilding her life, a sponsor in the 12-step program, and an ambassador helping others through recovery.
This is a brutally honest conversation about trauma, violence, self-destruction, and the reality of addiction as an illness — not a choice. If you're struggling, know someone who is, or just need hope that recovery is possible, watch until the end.

First 90 secondsCharlotte· Guest0:00
I have got 77 convictions. First one when I was 12 for street robbery. When I was 13, I was sexually assaulted. It started off with weed, alcohol. Before I know it, I'm smoking crack at 13. I'm on heroin at 16. Prison. I snowballed for 13 years straight in my groin. I nearly lost my leg twice. I went to prison for malicious wounding, stabbed someone in the head four times. The place was shut down in the end for abusing all the kids in there that didn't have families to tell. How am I gonna tell my mom and dad that I'm hooked on heroin a- and I'm pregnant at 17 years old? The father of my daughters is a convicted murderer. It's dark, seedy, lot of horrible, nasty things go on in that world, especially to women. A lot don't make it out alive. That's the reality of it. People being stabbed. I've been stabbed twice. And I've had samurai swords to my throat. When I woke up in hospital, my dad was there, and the first thing I did was ask him for money.
