When Misty Dawn summoned the work of a plastic surgeon they thought she said make me a methsick sturgeon.
in 2008 she was busted for a parole violation. Her cheekbones are normal. Then something went horribly wrong. I don't see any external scarring, but something appears to have collapsed her sinus, and maybe part of her upper mandible.
ETA, the change is initially obvious, but progresses. Could something like Lupus do this?
I only joined this group to shame you and all who laughed at this woman's plight! I know you won't pay attention to me, but I really wish you'd consider taking this down. You don't know this woman's story. Along with addiction, she suffers from bone cancer and two rare forms of lupus. She's lost three children to death, and yet, as low as she seems to have gone, she still believes she can turn her life around.
Please! Have some heart!
I'm glad that I may be wrong about her future. Hopefully she will continue along her road to recovery.
A photo went viral a while ago showing a woman who was deep in drug addiction with seemingly no way out. Facts are that the woman has started her journey to recovery and managed to turn the tide on her apparent downward spiral.
Misty Loman was addicted to meth and her health and looks were suffering the usual consequences from an out of control drug addiction. She decided to make a change for the better and has banked a few months of sobriety. Congratulations Loman, you are an inspiration to millions of people still struggling through the depths of addiction.
Loman was diagnosed with lupus, scleroderma (hardening of the skin), and bone cancer. The woman also suffered the deaths of not one, not two, but three children which is attributed to her brief downfall into drug addiction.
The photo on the right shows the woman winning her battle against drug addiction, she has a number of months sober now and is carrying on with her healthy lifestyle that she fought hard to get.
She has fought her meth addiction and is winning the battle to restore her life to something meaningful and productive. No longer is she seeking drugs and engaging in risky behaviour.

Misty asked that I attach this statement from her about her life and her story:
"My name is Misty Loman (41) currently live in Bowling Green ‚KY @ Sisters in Sobriety sober living @lesa booker house doing long term treatment( in 3 more months I’ll graduate!!!) I have 2 living sons Corey 23 / Jacob 16 that I adore & love with my whole heart. I have lost 3 sons one that died while incarcerated in jail( full-term) stillborn due to abruption at birth. After I was released two weeks to bury my baby I was sent to jail/ prison and did 2 years straight on my 5 yr sentence where I grieved and was stressed out to the max. Is when it triggered my diagnosis and started attacking my skin on my face, arms, scalp. I had so much fear that I wasn’t going to make it out that I was going to die in there one of my biggest fears( I didn’t even recognize myself in the mirror ) This is when I hit my knees and started praying out to God to help me heal my broken heart !! After released Not long after this I lost a set of twin boys one that died inside of me & the other one lived for 28days old. These tragedies have traumatized me ( these were not drug-related)was stemmed from my sickness. Here’s a little of my story my appearance from my mugshot a year ago that went viral from a sheriff from out of state stating some inaccurate info. It stemmed from a very rare type of lupus I have 2 types of 4 which affect the skin and organs. I have lupus panniculitis/ cancer as well as scleroderma ( hardening/ sinking of the skin only on face arms and scalp) I then was in a lot of fear of dying due to my time was limited I was so broken in my mind ‚body, spirit. Had so much fear of dying leaving my kids behind. That I couldn’t get my mind right saw no way out turned to drugs & alcohol to mask the pain and to feel numb. I was in a dark scary place lost ‚confused severe depression, I didn’t want to live anymore. This is when my drug use spiraled out of control I prayed for God a lot of nights for him to not let me wake up. I had hit rock bottom the lowest in my life I’d ever been. I then went through chemo experimental injections where I lost all of my hair which again was so devastating. At this point is when God started showing up & showing out through people, places, things. My family & kids worried sick and begged for me to seek help. Along with judge Steve Wilson that he said he agreed to long-term treatment for me. I’ll never forget what he said on this day that he believed in me knows I can and will get better that he has faith in me * All this was my motivation from this day forward. Started one day at a time with prayers ‚God ‚love, words of encouragement across the world. As a lady made me Facebook page( " prayer warriors for misty loman) here name was Tonia McCurty which I’m forever grateful for she touched my heart dearly. She died not long after she created this page may she rest in peace. I currently have 7k members in this group and want to say thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the prayers ‚words of encouragement. They loved me, lifted up my spirit until I could start loving myself again. I then started praying hard more than ever before had faith and I believed started going to church, got baptized, started setting goals, started to work on myself along with the 12 steps of AA &NA, I knew there had to better way than the way I was living. God carried me until I could stand on a solid foundation to where I’m at today. He has blessed me in so many ways I owe it all to God for bringing me out of the pits of hell. Today I put God first in my life and the promises have started to come true in my life. Today God has given me the best gift ever " peace of mind". I don’t live in fear of dying like I once did( yes I’m still sick not in remission at this time )but not sick in my mind like I once was. Only god knows when it’s time for me to go be with him. Today I love myself again, love the new me sober and clean ‚I have my kids & family & true friends back in my life which is where my heart is. I have a little over a year clean from all drugs and alcohol. This is truly a miracle from God that he blessed me with. So I wanted to reach out to others and share my experience, strength, hope to other addicts/alcoholics that are struggling ‚maybe stuck, or that see no way out that God works in mysterious ways, that prayer really works and it’s free and the most powerful thing anybody can do or do for you. God is really real& powerful I’m living proof of it. Please feel free to reach out to me I just know how it feels and how hard the struggle is each and every day and want ya to know I’m here for anybody that I can help in any way. To get in touch with me u can message me on my Facebook anyway or anytime I will respond !!!***"
I've known several people that have gone from drug addiction to God addiction. They were generally more fun when they were druggies, but they were able to save themselves by transferring their dependence.
As long as the addiction is no longer drugs or booze I'm fine with it. But the people are usually boring as hell and emotionally immature.I've known several people that have gone from drug addiction to God addiction.
