Andre'a Simmons

At age 39, Andre’a Simmons was living the dream; semi-retired from building a successful business, two grown daughters, a boat in the driveway of her luxury Gold Coast home, and a new love interest making her feel young again. By the time she was forty, Andre’a was an ice addict – living on the streets of Melbourne, pawning possessions for her next hit, and weighing just 40 kilos. 98% of those who fall into ‘ice world’ won’t ever escape. Only 2% do. Andre’a Simmons is one of them. Hers is a story of going to hell and back in your forties and clawing your way out, one step at a time. Andre’a calls herself a walking warning label, making this episode a MUST LISTEN for anyone who thinks they, or their loved ones, are untouchable. This is the cheat-sheet you need, as Andre’a takes us inside the ice epidemic and shows us the signs to look out for, the street names we need to get familiar with, and how dealers are waiting for children outside the school gate, spruiking pretty, pink ‘weight loss solutions’ to kids as young as nine. So, how do you rebuild a life that has gone so far off the rails? We find out in FORTY .   CREDITS: Hosts: Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills Guest: Andre'a Simmons Instagram: @andreaactress70 @australianantiice The helpline is 1800 NO TO ICE (1800 66 86 423) of anyone wanting to book a workshop please visit our webpage www.australianantiicecampaign.org.auHwy destruction is CEO Andre’a Simmons life story through addiction and recovery in music CD can be purchased here https://www.dropbox.com/s/zgabft1kel1a2xf/Highway%20Destruction%20Master.mp3?dl=0 Producer: Jason Strozkiy www.strozkiymedia.com   CONTACT: Email: hello@thosetwogirls.com.au Instagram: @liseandsarah Facebook: Those Two Girls   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
