Loads of people suffered in the US because of opioids based pain killers due to some terrible lobbying that a group of doctors, with only making more money on their heads, did and there are many people who became addicted to opioids after their treatment were over. So they had to find alternatives like street heroin and I am fairly sure that this was the case for Cynthia. That's really sad, and trust me, she's not an isolated case

First of all, that's not exactly what she said. If you listen to what she actually said, and consider that's the place she was mentally when she was pregnant and using, you can actually learn a little about what addiction is like. It actually gets you in a place where you can convince yourself that using heroin while pregnant is somehow not that bad. That's addiction. You do and think all sorts of things that are completely against your own sober logic.

@@doctoreggman7308 You don't seem to understand how addiction works. You don't just choose to do a certain amount of heroin each day. Heroin chooses for you. Even if you try that method, it's likely that you will have relapse after relapse where you totally lose control. When the heroin realizes that you're slipping away, it will drag you back. It can take years to overcome addiction regardless of the method, because the grasp that drugs hold on people is so terrifyingly strong. I'm not trying to say your method is useless, as I can imagine that it would be much better than aimlessly trying to stop. It's just that even with a good strategy, the journey is long and hard.

I was born heroin addicted. My mother shot up everyday while pregnant with me. Doctors say I’m a miracle, I shouldn’t be alive and doing so well. She overdosed causing me to be born early. Physical therapy, withdrawals etc. here I am alive. I’m grateful but still haven’t gotten the apology I’m looking for from my birth mother. Update since this got more attention than I thought: Thanks for the kind comments, I’m doing alright. If you think I’m lying, cool. Being born addicted happens quite often and I can share my story if I would like, I’m sure others can relate. Like I said I’ve gotten therapy to be where I am today, doesn’t mean I’m completely well but I’m okay. As far as I know my mother is clean (for now). These Kyle comments though lmao (name is Danielle used bf’s account). These comments turned into a war-zone lol I suggest not to entertain the trolls, I’m not bothered by it.

1. She started on pain pills, which means she likely had a procedure or condition, her doctor prescribed her pain pills, and she became another victim of the opioid epidemic. The opioid epidemic is largely the fault of irresponsible medical professionals and the irresponsibility of the government and is now a rampant, massive health crisis. 2. Many women, especially women with mental health problems, drug addictions, or living in poverty for any reason, don't know they are pregnant until they begin to show signs. Often, this will be 3-4 months. The video said she used heroin for the first 4 months of her pregnancy. I can't say whether or not she knew, but even healthy, middle class women often are unaware of their pregnancy for weeks or a few months. 3. Putting addicts in jail worsens their long term success rates in things such as life expectancy, recovery rates from drug addiction (aka being clean), mental health, and more. Jail is NOT the place for a drug addict who has not committed a violent crime. Drug addiction is a chemical process in the brain that is, in large part, genetic. It is the realm of medical professionals. The U.S.'s habit of incarcerating drug addicts has led to us having the highest percentage of imprisoned citizens in the developed world, unsustainable costs associated with keeping so many people locked up leading to extreme taxing, worsening the recidivism rates (people who are released and recommit crime) as compared to other first world countries, and exponential health care costs from repeated drug dependency that jail does NOT treat. It is tragic what happened to her child, but there is not always someone to blame. Yes, there is some blame if she was aware she was pregnant or committed crimes to fund her addiction, but it is 100% not as simple as "no questions asked put her in jail". What's more important: actually working to solve the opioid and drug addiction epidemic to prevent tragedies such as this from happening so frequently, or petty punishment for something that isn't even entirely her fault?

Flowerly Choosing to continue a pregnancy and still using should be somewhat punishable, but terminating a pregancy that otherwise may end with an addicted, suffering child should not. Laws targeting women that use and are pregnant is a great way for the woman to never admit drug use and therefor not get help for her and her baby, if she decides to keep with the pregnancy. Prosecuting women for choosing abortion doesn't lower the abortion rate, it makes doing an abortion at home more frequant and more dangerous.

Hailey Ann I agree. I just had a baby and I am a marijuana smoker. I was asked by my Dr to take a prescription for my whole pregnancy and I refused. I know this idea is a little taboo but I find it scary that people and machines make our medication so I stuck to my intuition and said "no, thank you". I risked everything because I believe putting man made chemicals in your body during pregnancy is too dangerous. I looked up the effects (of the medication I was offered) on an unborn baby....it literally said "unknown". My son is perfect, not bragging, he just has no problems and has been super easy to deal with since birth. A woman that gave birth the same day as me, lost her son 6 hours after he was born. Turns out, she took that medicine my Dr wanted me on. So yes, I agree using during your pregnancy should be punishable but I think it should be limited to chemically altered or man made substances, like alcohol, meth, and cigarettes...etc.

And some people don't have the strength others have to completely deny something they're addicted to and feel like they can't control.

Emily Arriaga don't you come here and call people ignorant as if you've got a higher understanding of the struggle of addiction than any one else. Alcoholism runs deep in my family so I've got my good deal of experience of the effects that comes from physical addiction. Now I understand that heroine addiction is one of the hardest dependants to kick and that the mind actually physically change in ways that make the addict need the drug, not want it, not crave it, Need it to function. Same thing as with alcohol. BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE HER ANY LESS OF A FAILURE OF A HUMAN BEING. She let her child down. She failed as an adult, as a parent and as a human being. Because of her failure her son is to suffer. That's that. There is no discussion here.

+gigzy 86 Well I figured she would have quit by now. If I understood correctly, she started methadone maintenance treatment in the 4th month of her pregnancy and by now would have been weaned off little by little. Methadone doesn't mess you up in the way she looks in the video. Looks like she quit treatment and returned to the hard stuff.

@unai_asecas90703 жыл бұрын
@@mrdinoface3558 being sexually attracted to children is also a mental illness. The difference being that this drug addicted woman didn’t harm anybody whereas the child molester did. That’s why a child molester should go to jail and undergo therapy; So that he can belong to this society. In the event that therapy didn’t work that person should be executed, not because we hate him, but because he doesn’t belong in this society and should take a place along side god. Same thing goes for the poor child. He’s lucky that his adoptive mother has given him a second chance. If he ever happens to be suffering and has no place in this world he should be sent to his creator so that he can ask, why such a thing had to happen to him. This life is only worth living if you have full mental capacity. Otherwise the kingdom of heaven is a far better choice.

They don’t understand the struggle. Most Americans came to heroin through prescribed opioids. Withdrawals for some is a worse feeling then dying, and for most, withdrawal can mean death. We need to get rid of the stigma and follow in the footsteps of Switzerland and open genuine rehabs, not to trap you and convert you into a “normal” human by distracting you, but by scheduling and suppling clean and scheduled drugs in a controlled and safe environment where they can stay and sleep and socialise with others experiencing the same thing and professionals who don’t talk down to you. Addiction is a an inevitable part of the human mind, whether you’re addicted to sugar, working out, drugs, socialising, whatever it is, our brain is trained using chemicals, whether it’s supporting healthy habits or deadly ones, people can become dependent. The world isn’t all disgusting, we are all capable of the same thing and have the same limitations within our fragile flesh, never stop talking to others, keep your head up.

I was an addict for 20yrs... was a functioning addict always held a job and had full custody of my son...once he got older, he knew all the signs to look for.. the mood swings, the nodding, and the sickness.... he's a very brave young man and he confronted me(boldly & very brave).. I was so embarrassed that I got myself clean for my son AND myself.... today I am 2 weeks short of a year being clean..... I know it's hard for some of these parents, but if I would have been threatened with losing my child a long time ago I probably would have gotten clean a long time ago( but I was very good at hiding it)..... I know I put my family through hell, but in the end it's never too late.... now my son is my best friend and we are inseparable.....kid is my hero, and he don't even realize!.....Time, love, and faith truly can fix anything....... I have a soft spot in my heart for the addicts that don't have family that love them, but I will tell the truth, as an ex-addict, I will tell you that is not a sickness... it's a weakness, and until we start dealing with it like that, people will never be able to confront their biggest enemy, themselves!.... quit giving addicts excuses everyone!.. hold them accountable, it might save their life....... stay blessed everyone

my mom and dad were addicts after having me and both my younger brothers have some sort of disability, i dont blame either of them because i know that they both just fell into peer pressure. my dads side of the family were heavy addicts before he became one and then he influenced my mom to do it with him which resulted in them slowly becoming addicts and losing custody of all of us. it's sad but happens way too much, i feel for the bio mom as well as the boy. neither of them asked for this or wanted this, sometimes it's just so overwhelming and almost deadly to stop. i can see how much the bio mom is soo grateful for his mom and all the help she can give. i hope one day both of them will understand that most people dont want this for themselves or for anyone else and i hope they find peace in that knowledge

I feel like everyone just sort of glossed over the fact that it isn't the biological moms fault. It started with prescribed pain meds, once she was taken off she was already experiencing withdrawal and addiction symptoms. She was already addicted to drugs before heroin use. She didnt just randomly out of the blue decide one day to ruin her life by using.
@alicat76333 жыл бұрын
I am in a drug prevention group and a few years ago there was this speaker who was close with the coordinators. She had been a drug addict and spoke about her life and raised awareness for the issue. She got in a bad car accident and the doctors gave her pain meds! Giving opioids to a person who had an opioid addiction is so incredibly stupid and yet it happens a lot. This caused her to have a relapse and she overdosed and died. She had kids! The lack of compassion makes it harder to get clean. Going to a doctor is how they got their problem in the first place and if they are caught using, they can be arrested. Chances are she didn’t know she was pregnant for the first couple months and quitting cold turkey can be very bad. You can tell that addicts, like this woman , feel guilty enough as it is so treating them like horrible people is not going to accomplish anything. It’s so frustrating when people act like people decide to screw up their lives instead of recognizing that it is a mental illness (and can be genetic.)
