Coral Parson grew up in a family deeply involved in drug trafficking, addiction, violence, and incarceration—a world she believed was normal. Surrounded by overdoses, gang conflict, and constant chaos, she witnessed firsthand how addiction destroys not just the person using, but the entire family system.

Though Coral never battled addiction herself, she lived through its confusion, heartbreak, and generational impact. Her story is one of choosing a different path, breaking cycles, and finding stability through faith and intentional healing.

This is Part 1 of our two‑part conversation with Coral and her husband, Paul—two stories shaped by chaos, transformed by Christ, and anchored in recovery.
