Mom whose overdose photo went viral celebrates three years of sobriety in photo shoot with son.
Erika Hurt describes reaching rock bottom in 2016 when a photo released by police went viral showing her overdosed on heroin in the driver's seat of a car with her 10-month-old son in the backseat.
Now, three years later, new photos of Hurt and her son Parker are going viral -- pics that show them together and happy and marking three years of sobriety for Hurt. The photo though is now what Hurt credits with propelling her forward to recovery and helping her maintain her sobriety for three years.
"We didn't have a bond, and that was really sad," said Hurt, who was sober during her pregnancy but then relapsed two months after she gave birth."I was physically there for my son but I was not mentally there for him and I missed all of his first milestones." She is holding a sign that says"Narcan saved my life" in the photos because she wanted to give people"a different picture" of how a life can turn out after an overdose.
