Drew AYYYYYYYEEEEE PROUD OF YOU FOR SOBERING UP

Laura Sierra Thank you!

You are so strong drew im so happy for you . My mom didn’t make it out of her addiction . You are so so strong ❤️

Congratulations to you! Stay strong! Many people have done it. You can too! God Bless you! In my 🙏

DIamond Ray Thank you so much, and I’m sorry to hear about your mom, addiction is a crazy thing, man, most people don’t ever make it out.

Heartbreaking.

Beautiful

Yep, with a very animated personality!

To be honest. She reminds me of myself. I got out I got clean. When I see her I see what I would have become

My first thought

Tenisha there’s 4 prostitutes who were killed out near here in Atlantic City. Killed in the motels and laid out by the train tracks with their heads and feet facing east. Serial killer. This was years ago. Never caught. Probably went to another state to do the same

Exactly!! These men are deranged and view women as subhumans

The killers aren't caught because noone cares about these women. Most are estranged from family...

@@elizabethirvin9954 who's fault?

@@elizabethirvin9954 your condoning MURDER? What the actual fuck is wrong with you? Seek help

So you think people who do drugs are less than you and are incapable of wisdom? reality check

@Mappy-5, darling my mother is an addict, as well as my father and they’re both absolutely fucking evil. So yes, some drug addicts are that far gone they have no wisdom or good left in them. My mother and her bf broke her babies leg at a week old because they were mad that they couldn’t get their fix. Her boyfriend was allowed to beat her children with her knowing, so she could still get her drugs, and she didn’t give a fuck. I don’t really think you’ve ever had to deal with an addict parent or family member. Reality checkkkkk. Drugs don’t only eat away at your body, but your family, your sanity and your soul too. And once you’re too far gone, it’s rare that you can ever come back. I didn’t once say they are less than me, so please don’t put words in my mouth, you clearly don’t know jack shit🤷🏼‍♀️ 36 plus years of constant drug use and 2 bottles of vodka a day, will eventually kill every single last part of you.

lauren you shouldn’t have to explain yourself and your story, sorry about your family

@Honesty Hervey, sometimes you need to explain yourself and I’m fine doing that especially when I know I can back up my argument🤷🏼‍♀️ I appreciate that so much💗 but don’t be sorry, I just like to raise awareness by telling my own story, trauma and experiences, if it can sway one person away from ever trying drugs, that’s an achievement in itself. X

She really does!

Your comment is thoughtful and kind.

Word

It's too bad her mind is gone...

And her teeth.

She can get fake teeth 🙄! I’m 28. And have dentures due to previous drug use and neglect from childhood ( I wasn’t taught to Brush my teeth ) , I take full care of myself now! And intake out my teeth and scare my 10 Year old , you can bet she brushes Regularly ! ( teeth aren’t important , character is )

Brian Maisonet she was interrupting him and he prolly didn’t like that lol I wish it was longer too

She ain’t with it just in and out no messing

I think crack addicts are one of the harder groups of people to interview because they’re so over the place. Not that their stories don’t matter because they do, but the interrupting and rambling has to be difficult.

I feel like she just needed to be heard. Yeah, she interrupted him many times, but that's probably because this is the first time she's ever had a voice. She just wants is to be heard.

stacy k, very true, I agree. She needs to just be allowed to talk freely. The interview must keep the questions quick, short, and sweet.

@bearraaaaTV i think it was the "I'm bored so I smoke crack" part.

@bearraaaaTV Yaaaaaassssss. TF! Shut your dumb arrogant mouths.

I know what she means. I'm a strong willed person so even when I was a heroin addict, I quit cold turkey several times which is very difficult to do. It wasn't the quitting I had an issue with it was the going back to it. Dealing with life sober, trauma, etc. Anyway I'm over 10 years clean today and I hope this lady finds a good reason to stay off it too.

She passed away🙏

How

They are normal, to her

Of course it is. I think that’s the reason a lot of people end up in addiction. And it becomes a downward spiral when the addiction itself causes more pain and trauma.

It's much better but there's a high price to pay

Agreed

Ciara Endicott it is better high than regular life ( at least for me )

She has no potential...

Potential for what?

Yeah, she could have been a Rhodes Scholar 👩‍🏫 🤣

Shes dead now

Jojo Bee generational curses

Often times it does but not always, my mother had me at 15, I am 25 with no children as of yet . Her experience and the way she raised me taught me to make better decisions.

@@amberd.8027 True, sometimes the kids do the opposite too!

Definitely. This has happened in my family as well through generations, but luckily my sis and I have broken the curse!

true, but based on how she said the people whose kids were on the same streets as they are/were was so sad, it sounds like her daughter hasn't wound up on the same path as her. there are a lot of women who had kids as teenagers and still managed to go to college/get degrees/good jobs etc., so hopefully her daughter is one of those women and the cycle stops there.

@@jamielane2923 😂😂😂

Must have been a fat finger reply.....but I’m drug free and you ?

Raised right, just hung around the wrong people

@EC C I think she means that the police need to take the crimes committed against sex workers more seriously multiple women were murdered and no one cared and hes probably still out there.

No, we need to stop letting people reach a point of self diminishment that they think using their body is the solution

NismoJames it will always happen that’s why we need to regulate it make it safe and treat them like people?

Sasha Shvarts if you want to “treat them like people” you would donate to programs that give them REAL JOBS and a REAL HOPE instead of trying to enable self destructive behavior

@@nothingworksworks3511 yes. Prohibition always lead to black markets. People always say marijuana is a gateway drug and that is absolutely false. Marijuana is on a gateway market. You enter a market that sells things you wont see anywhere else.

That very nice of you giving her food hoping she doing okay

*Pray without ceasing!

Unfortunately, the woman in this story is now dead

G Pow Not really. Anyone can be an addict. My father was a successful business man, and then he got addicted to alcohol.

G Pow no they aren’t, the deeper you look into people with lives like this, the more profoundly similar you are to them, not different. Claiming to be drastically different is a defense mechanism against the fear of realizing how thin the line is that separates one life to another.

G Pow your ignorant, and speaking without putting yourself in a position that assumes life can take you over. You’re speaking from a totalitarian and authoritarian perspective and will one day be harshly judged because of it. They are humans, you have that in common and that is more than enough if you know anything about what humans are like.

G Pow by the way you lost

G Pow ur a moron

Maybe the Most High has a master plan for her life.I think this one will shake the drugs and make it.Most will not.peace and love

@@naturezone6655 Amen!

@@naturezone6655 she will have died on the streets by now. she is not blessed.

Jazmyn Brown I agree❤️

Yes.

shes in a dark place. she sees dark things.

I thought the same thing... How many people like him are roaming around L.A.? That is some sick, twisted shit. Scary.

I tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything

Brooke Wood omg you did? that’s crazy. I just found this channel and been looking at so many different interviews... I’m shook

​@@brookewood4181 Have a feeling it's happening all the time, but it's not being reported in the mainstream news. Years ago back in mid '95 when I was 20 I had a brief conversation with a very nice, mentally aware homeless man in L.A. who warned me to be careful, because they recently found the body of a girl chopped up in a dumpster over on 4th Street. I believed him, and still do, and I doubt that story wound up in the news either. Probably a few reasons why: 1) It's happening to prostitutes/street girls/drug addicts, i.e., the marginalized members of society, and 2) it's happening so often to such an extent that they don't want to report on it.

Tanis Stewart that’s what I was thinking too. These women are valuable and worthy of protection and safety no matter what. As long as they’re alive, they deserve that. Period.

The cops would use it as toilet paper.

Ummm most of the time they can't file reports, bc of who they are (prostitutes/addict's, or are wanted by the police).

You give me hope brother ❤

you can do anything if you put your mind to it....go help someone

sure 🙄

ani samoth you’re my first troll (‘:

It's true she has to want to help herself but we can't help but have compassion and care.

Keep your vessel clean, and the messages will be clear. Glad you’re in tune✨

Maybe, but my mother was sycophantic and this woman sounds just like her. One fantastic story after another but none ever come to logical conclusion. You never get a chance to ask about things that don't make sense because she just moves on to the next story. There were five grown kids in my family who all came together to figure out what was happening with my mother. The five of us had her in the family room trying to figure it out so we could help her. It was just like this woman, wild crazy stories that involve someone who is out to get her. Like a man who cuts people in two and he's still out there. Maybe it's true, but I think she needs a hospital and a doctor to figure it out.

Court Dapuff yes!!! If I don’t feel right about someone, I stay away! My spirit feels it

exactly

😂

Regina Phalange doesn’t it just, opiates are agony to get off. Clean 4 year but still on methadone that’s even worse to get off

Crack is physically addictive..

AT OCDesignzz but not in the sense that opiates are. I don’t think it’s physical. I think it’s just you want that euphoric feeling again and get so beyond agitated when it’s run out. Once some time passes or you sleep to get over that mood, that urge isn’t there. I have some experience in it. That agitation is still mental. Your brain craves it not yours nerves or bones like with opiate. Even one woman in one of these videos said the same thing. She’s done them both plus other things. That’s just my say 🤷🏻‍♀️

AT OCDesignzz I mean.. I won’t say I know for sure. I guess if someone is doing anything for so long they will go through detox. Even if it’s something that isn’t drugs but perhaps a certain chemical in foods they’d made an add iron of.

They say it's not physically addictive, but it is, not as bad as some other drugs but it definitely is physically addictive. Severe stomach cramps, legs ache, that's physicall.

You mean those her fantastical stories...

Una Nina Nine yes. Man but what if they are true? Those girls get murdered left and right.

@@sherryhall6946 Like around 7:42 and 9:25? 😂😜😂

Una Nina Nine the whole story.

Dangerous

So sorry babe , stay strong. Choose your friend s wisely. Hello from Colorado

You'll be ok so will she best of luck

You'd be listening. She'd be talking.

@@dublinsfaircity weird assumption

@@dublinsfaircity You said what we're all thinking. LOL

LMAO....

man, she's a stunner. Don't lie to yourself haha. She's hot, no?

Melissa is/was a stunner...she reminds me of Priscilla Presle..her eyes and the way she lifts her head and looks at the viewer from the side. love her hair and the way she describes the victims of the horrible people on SR

She looks old af...

Drugs change your appearance! So sad!

Truth

Douglas, Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll make sure to ask in the few interviews I do.

@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly THANKS.... Enjoy your work !

agreed these are good questions.

Soft White Underbelly it’s funny how everyone has a theory on how you should do you work 😊

What difference does it make on how much she spends on crack!? It doesn't change anything, it's just all too sad!

West Coast Or Bust I couldn’t see beyond the craziness

Cops are more dangerous than some of us men . A lot of us treat these people well and speak to them like a human being - both men and women on streets .When they walk up and say stuff to me , I listen to them always - not just walk away .

That's so sad n crazy

Very true. I was a dancer in the Boston combat zone in the late 80's and the joints were full of dirty cops taking payoffs, and even running girls themselves

Connor James good catch! Great documentary 👍🏼

That's how it works. I'll quit; -when I'm 50 -when the money is gone - when I get busted, exc Basically, any time, even tomorrow, just not right now.

Nubianmoiselle yassss girl. That hair is everything 🔥

@@ajbselective yes!!

She was gorgeous at one time, I’m sure. She could be redeemed... pray she is!

right, i was like look at that hair!

RBecca H. Not to me. She had more weight on her back then but regardless, nothings changed in her life in those 12 years since. Nobody is healthy on crack

@@Pink_143_6 yeah, well you know, that's just, like, you're opinion man. 😎

Right. The black and white makes her look quite haggard and aged to 70 years.
