Thirteen Years No Crack! School of Rock Bottom Thought #13: Eddy Queens

In this next quick thought, I revisit my conversation with Eddy Queens who is a star in the music industry—until addiction took everything.Dropped by her label, she spiralled into crack cocaine addiction. Within 2 years, she was homeless, trapped in a dangerous crack den, doing sex work to survive, stealing from family, and estranged from her son. Her life was ruled by a 24/7 drug habit.Now over 13 years clean and sober, Eddy shares how she got and stayed clean. This is not a celebrity comeback story—it’s about survival, forgiveness, and the real work of recovery. Today, Eddy is a performer, mother, and recovery mentor.About the “THOUGHT” series -Every other Monday at 5 PM, I’ll bring you a quick ‘thought’—a powerful moment from previous episodes designed to kickstart your week with insight, motivation, and connection.
