Singer Jackie Chandiru has shockingly intimated that she is until today being chased by drug addiction demons that keep trolling her resolve to quit the vice on a daily basis.
Chandiru was speaking to a local TV station where she confirmed that not everything is well with her. She decided to take a break and hide from Nairobi. However, life was hard and she decided to return.
Chandiru, who is a survivor of drug addiction following relapses before she eventually managed to ‘beat’ the habit said that; “most people think that you just wake up and wish away drugs or that only rehab will help you overcome dependency at a certain time and come clean. But this is wrong and is a fallacy.”
She adds, “One of the main challenges that addicts face is remaining in the same environment where the drugs are readily available and keeping in circles of pushers who want you to maintain the status quo.”
She added that the only way out of it is to first accept that one has a problem but above all, believing in God and “in his will to heal you is the greatest antidote and way to coming clean.”
Chandiru further notes that even after almost two years of her sobering up, she still has to fight off ‘drug demons’ that keep on chasing her in a bid to lure her back into the system every single day.
“I lost a great deal of my life and would be in a better position at the moment, but I continue to pay for the ‘sins’ I committed while still addicted.”
