Miss Mercedes, I just want to share with you that I went back to college in my late 40’s so it’s never too late and you’re still young. I’m disabled and I’m afraid to die alone too. You’re not alone anymore now you have to a lot of people praying 🙏🏽 for you and I’m sure you’ll get the help you are asking for. You are a beautiful person and worth so much more. Much love my friend.🙏🏽✌🏼❤️

Opiates are no joke they destroyed my life and I hurt a lot of people that love me.. I went cold turkey got sick as a dog and relapsed a month later! I was so scared of going through the withdrawal process again so I decided to get extra help that time. By the grace of God I’ve been clean for 8 yrs now and baby girl you can do it too, you are in my prayers 💕

I almost went down a bad road hanging with females who was lazy and unmotivated. Their bleak existences made me feel hopeless. They lived in projects, stayed on dating apps looking for tricks, smoking weed, partying, always broke, dusty etc etc I went alone to live in a homeless shelter bc it was better environment even than where i was. Applied for college & it helped me turn my life around. It gave me something to put my energy into and helped me invision a future for myself. I met my children father in college we made a life together and I didn't have time for those "friends" anymore. Your current situation is not your final destination. You have the power to turn any situation around long as you believe in yourself.

Girl I totally feel you- I was hanging out with someone who I thought was my friend. We met another girl and she practically just saw men as money. She’d do anything to get some money from a guy and would encourage me to sleep with them for money… they both turned on me because I told them that that lifestyle was not ok. But I’m 23 now, married and expecting a little boy in august… and I’m so glad I lost those “friends”

I was hooked on percs/oxy for 10+ years. Tried everything to get off them, but couldn't do it on my own. I had to surrender and ask for help. Once you surrender, you no longer have to fight. I then had to become open-minded and willing enough to take suggestions because the way I was operating clearly wasn't working. 12 step meetings worked for me. Three years clean and sober now. I say that to say, If I can do it, so can you Mercedes! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I think about my Marine brother when I hear Percocet. He had a car accident, Navy/Marine Corps medical tried to save his leg but after a year, limb was cut off. He stayed on the force with a prosthetic. When I met him, he was on Percocet already. I seen that drug take his soul. Navy feed him these pills like candy for 3 years. Then the opioid awareness came and he was shutoff completely. He begged, started drinking heavily, I seen go through horrible withdrawals. Zero Navy/Marine help. During leave, after we get back we always get drug tested. He popped for Meth (1st time I heard of Meth). After his military court, I had to drop him off at the brig for a month. Stripped of his E-4 rank, money, and discharged with OTH. To experience this, I cry sometimes because he died of kidney and liver failure due to Perc and drugs Navy/Marine Corps gave him. Instead of helping him, they abandoned him. RIP Rodriguez.

I can relate to this so much. After a bad car accident I got addicted to Percs. It lasted for 10 years. It was so hard to get off, but by the grace of God & will power, I did it. In the height of my addiction 80 milligrams was nothing to me. No one knew I had a problem. I've been sober for 8 years. The withdrawal process was so hard!! I truly hope she can find her way out of that vicious cycle. It will be hard but it isn't impossible 💚 When you truly get tired of this lifestyle. I don't think she's quite there yet.

@@mahoganysweets67 Hey. Sorry I'm just seeing this. The length of the withdrawals honestly depends on how long you used and how much you used. As for me I was on them for 10 years & it was NOTHING for me to swallow 20-25 pills in one day. The worst of my withdrawals lasted 7-10 days. The body aches, upset stomach, loss of appetite, sweating, exhaustion & a very strong urge for sexual stimulation. Tips for getting through the first stages....drink lots of water, go for a walk even if you don't want to, eat as clean as possible. Stay away from hard to digest foods like red meat, & processed foods. Limit your carbs. Stick to a low carb diet. Take a multivitamin. After 2 weeks you should be feeling much better physically. The withdrawals will come and go for months though. You will definitely have cravings but THEY WILL GO AWAY I PROMISE. Just keep telling yourself that you didn't go through all of that just to run back to it. Eventually one day you will have to stop. Might as well make it today. Luuv you. Good luck 💚

There are so many great new therapies out there to help with it: EMDR therapy did wonders for me plus there are ketamine clinics popping up everywhere and lots of research into other psychedelics for addiction and PTSD. The perc use/addiction is probably a form of self-medication to manage the trauma. You are a smart, beautiful woman and the help is out there! You can do this! Sending you so much love and strength 💜.

Love you, honey! I grew up near the VA and NC border. Your voice is liquid gold. No one knows how necessary your choices might have been as a female in the southern USA who wanted an education. I'm sorry if men distracted you...I'm sorry because if I'd raised you, I would have kick-assed raised you to not buy into the whole culture. You talk like you're valueless. You are intelligent, articulate, and beautiful. Your addiction is Percoset? No. Your addiction is NO PAIN. NOT YOUR FAULT! I'm so sorry about your experience with your family/friend when you asked for help. The person heard, "I'm weak, in pain, and vulnerable." Your family member just tried to stop your pain. SO YOU HATE WORK? Go help someone. Pick some tiny, needy human to feed and clothe, and God bless the baby's Mama. Serve. Yes, people die every day. I'm sixty years old. White, black, or blue the currency is always the same if you're a female. Pay your dues, take what you can get, desire a future, and walk away when you can. Don't have babies! Be the Mama to yourself you didn't have. You deserve LIFE. Love you, honey.

I got addicted to percocet after a surgery. After being without it for 4-5 hours I would have nausea and get irritable. That lasted for a couple weeks. What made me stop is that I recognized I had developed a physical dependence on it. And I vow to never be a drug addict like my parents.

I just recently lost my one and only sister to this epidemic!!! She bought fake percs from a shady dealer off the streets and died from a fentanyl overdose. For yrs she tried to hide it and was absolutely in denial about being addicted. I reached out to our mom and a few other family members. But she hid her addiction so well they believed her when she told them I was lying. 4 months later her youngest daughter found her dead in her bed. Nobody listened to me or even believed what I said until it was too late. Im in such a low place. I've withdrawn from everyone. Especially my mom. She has been admitted to the psych ward 3 times. No one helped me try to save my sister. I have no other siblings. We were 10 months apart. I've lost my best friend. Addiction not only affects the user. It effects their entire family. I am BROKEN. 💔 She leaves behind two beautiful daughters & a 1 month old grandson. She was 37 yrs old. Please don't be ashamed of asking for help. You deserve life!! The ones that love you will NEVER fully recover from your loss. 💜

Thank you for sharing your story Mercedes, you’re so brave to be so vulnerable & great name btw ;) I’m 3 years sober, my addiction was to Percocet & Norco for over 7 years. So many of us have walked in each others shoes. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life & I had to do it all alone. I hid my addiction from everyone until I hit my rock bottom. Not only did I admit I needed help but I really wanted help. My family thinks they supported me but their idea of support was tough love. They think they were supportive but at the end of the day I was all alone. They did nothing to help me get into a rehab nor did they support me. All it did was made me suicidal from the guilt. I felt at that time killing myself would be the better option for me & everyone around me. When you’re that far into addiction it’s that hard to even pick up a phone to find a rehab. It’s especially hard when you don’t have any insurance, nobody will help you. I didn’t have the luxury of being able to just take off work nor have the money to pay for the rehab I desperately needed. Crazy story I’d like to share about how I ended up getting off of pain pills, it was actually on a day when I had run out. I looked everywhere to buy more, everywhere you name it. I was desperate & starting to go into withdrawals. I found an ad on Craigslist, this guy happened to be selling his Suboxone films. I knew nothing about what it was but I was so desperate to get rid of the withdrawals. He explained how Suboxone saved his life & how it got him off of heroin. Crazy as this sounds that guy saved my life that day. I’ve never touched or craved another pain pill again, I’m now 3 years sober. I’m still taking Suboxone which I’m now prescribed. I’ve been successful at lowering the amount I’m taking, trying to get completely off of it, that’s a different story. I can go 1-1 1/2 days without taking it & be completely fine, no cravings or withdrawal feelings. End of day 2 I’m already starting to get withdrawals. The same ones I had coming off of the pain pills & I’ve been clean for over 3 years now. I wonder if anyone else has been in my shoes or experienced what I’m going through getting off of Suboxone? The oxy has been out of my system for 3 years so why can’t I get off of Suboxone without having withdrawals & feeling like complete crap? Any suggestions would so greatly helpful & appreciated. 🙏🙏

NCA supplement and kratom might help you. NCA is a great antioxidant and it’s also known to curb addiction. Hospitals use it for Tylenol overdoses. And kratom is also known to curb pain and withdrawals. I don’t find kratom addictive like some articles online claim. Been taking it on and off for years and at least I’ve never felt addicted to it so don’t believe the hype. I think big pharma and the FDA are just manipulating the media cause it’s cutting into their opiate profits. Anyway wish you the best. My niece tried hard to get off Suboxone and never did. She passed away from acute pancreatitis at 33yo. I’ve read long term use can cause that condition so please try to get off of it. ❤️❤️

This literally broke my heart. Addiction runs in my family BIG time, and I was on that road myself because of chronic pain issues. My issues started as a teenager, and I had Drs prescribing me insane amounts of opiates, and I had no clue of the reprecussions at that age. I knew where I was heading, so I got myself off of the hard opiates and found much safer alternatives. Ppl don't realize how fast it can happen, and it can happen to literally anyone no matter how strong u think u are. This beautiful, and intelligent young woman was begging for help, and everyone failed her! She deserves SO much more, and I really hope she's able to find herself again. I believe she can 100% do it with the right help! I'm sending positive vibes your way girl!❤

Getting away from pills is so hard. After my back surgery in 2014 I was prescribed 2 weeks worth of percs and then sent me to pain management for 2 years where they had me on hydrocodone and gabbies. I knew I had a problem when I got to the point where I felt like I couldn't function without them. I stopped going to pain management and stopped taking everything cold turkey. It was rough but the best decision I ever made. I didn't want to be on meds and would rather deal with the pain than be addicted. It IS hard but it IS possible. It never goes away. There are some days when the pain is so bad I think "maybe I could find just one" and then I immediately dismiss it because I know where that road leads. My heart goes out to anyone struggling, reaching out for help and having a hard time getting it. Don't stop fighting, don't stop reaching out, it's for YOU.

Mercedes you are great. You have such a sweet soul. Thank you for sharing your story. It took me 12 years to beat my alcoholism. Keep coming til the miracle happens. It's a true story for all.

I was on oxycodone 15 to 30 mg for 17 years Dilaudid became the end because every 12 minutes it was on serve for a bone infection MERCA in my surgery. For 17 days i was fed that and released with half of what i was addicted to then. Thats what put me on the streets to catch my body up because nothing else worked. Grateful to say i am in my 7th year of recover and i take it minute by minute so i donr fail.

This one touched my heart cause she reminds me of myself so much, I can see it in her that she really wants help and I just see that lost in over my head look that I’ve known so well 😞 I pray she can find a detox center or something and make it through it soon & never have to end up going to the harder stuff like so many of us do, cause it only gets worse. It’s so hard cause it fucks your brain chemistry up so bad to where you want help so bad but it’s got it’s grip on you so bad that the other half of you is relieved when you can just get that next high. It fucking sucks but it IS possible to get out of it & I hope you find your way to recovery love, your beautiful & deserve a life free of addiction ♥️

This young lady's birthday is the same date as mine January 24th. One thing I will say everything she's telling him is the truth. We never like to break down and cry in front of people we consider it a weakness. I would love to talk to her I'm 56 years old a black woman here in Detroit Michigan. I battled with alcoholism most of my life.

I don’t feel empathy or sympathy for her. She’s constantly making poor decisions. She lacks accountability, she’s full of excuses, constantly making poor decisions and she’s lazy!!

I’ve never commented on a video before, but this story moved me. Sweetheart you have everything you need to overcome this. I can’t imagine how difficult it is, but believe in your strength and resilience. I hope you see this and know how much love is in the world waiting on you to claim it. Also, fuck Big Pharma.

Dear Mercedes, Thanks for sharing your story. I am very sorry that your family member hurt you so deeply, but rest assured that everything is a lesson and you are fortunate to be learning some of your life lessons sooner than later, because you now know who NOT to trust for guidance and support. And kudos to your mother for arranging inpatient treatment for you! I hope that it's long term and that your aftercare program will help keep you sober for the clean, productive and healthy life that you deserve. You're right, we all die alone, but please know that a transactional relationship for s3x is not at all the same as sharing and building a life with someone whom you know, love, trust and feel secure with in good times and in bad. When you're not young, thin and as cute anymore, you will be replaced, but when you've grown with a person over the years sharing the same family values, faith, dreams, passions and accomplishments that individual sees you as that same beautiful person they remember in youth and because of mutual loyalty, devotion, love and respect there is an unbreakable bond. That doesn't happen always, but it does exist and it is priceless. Remember that you've been given a second chance at life for a good reason and I hope that you'll take full advantage of the blessing. I wish you Peace, Good Health, Prosperity, Discernment and Sobriety all ways.
