Drug Addiction: How Tonier Cain Survived 19 Years

83 arrests, 66 convictions, pregnant with her daughter in a cell and 19 years of drug addiction formed the life story of Tonier Cain, the 53-year-old woman who had to scale through life the hard way. In her means of survival, she became a prostitute, and a drug addict and was homeless for almost two decades. Her uncontrollable ordeals led to her mental illness and this however destabilized her.

While revealing her life story on her social media page, Tonier said that her life became a shadow of herself, a cupcake of emptiness and a life full of misery and hopelessness. Being tired of her predicament, she tried everything she knew but nothing seemed to work somehow her eagerness led her to an untapped source.

In her words – “Fourteen years ago, I laid on my prison cell floor pregnant with my daughter, and I cried out to God. My prayer was sincere and desperate. I cried out “God I don’t know if you listen to people like me but if you do please help me”!! After 83 arrests, 66 convictions, 19 years of drug addiction, prostitution, homelessness, and diagnosed mental illness, I felt hopeless, helpless and dead inside.

I tried everything else but God, so here I was trying God, sincerely seeking him. He heard my cries. Since that desperate cry, I have not desired or used drugs or even smoked a cigarette. What he has done for me and through me shows the true healing, delivering power of our true, living God. Our Savior! Our redeemer!!! Our Healer!! Our Deliverer!

Today marks my 14th year of freedom. Who the son sets free is free indeed. Father God, I celebrate you!!!! I thank you! I honor and worship you for being The Creator! The First and the Last. The Alpha and Omega!!! The “I AM”!! Glory to you alone. Thank you for the blood of our Savior Jesus who has set me free!!!”

Tonier Cain is now free from drug addiction and has become the CEO and Founder of Neen Care Inc, a nonprofit organization that educates and trains trauma victims.
