A sob stories has no place in a good resumé. If you are truly looking for work I suggest you post a list of your skills and your accomplishments. It helps to include examples of previous work.
Plus OP's sob story could have been prevented easily because it isn't a tragedy, it was addiction which only needed some form of intervention from OP's loved ones but it seems that wasn't the case in this one. I agree with posting the work, maybe try to build a portfolio of your works because it helps you get more clients or a job because people will see your skills and they will hire you for that and not because they pity your situation.
