I recommend looking up Dr Gabor Maté, an actual addiction specialist. There's also a great video on KZfaq by Stefan Molynoux called "ending the war on drugs with compassion" where he explains how adverse childhood experiences make people more susceptible to addictions.

@riniks112 thank you so much. God bless you. :)

fariba tabassum why have u try it if u know that it will be bad for u... Do it related to a fear challenge.. Just know for ur self ur better than this dont take it.. Ur family see u that ur better than this

Nick Chandler thank you dear. please keep me in your prayers. Now the withdrawal problems and heaviness feeling of my head has reduced a bit. But I am loosing my confidence and I feel very low.

Carl Fabro thanks for your suggestion, I really appreciate it. I don't take it anymore. I am clean for the last 5 months. What bothers me is that I lost my confidence and I feel really depressed.

Fentanyl and morphine are opiates yes, but Fentanyl is 100 times as powerful as morphine. So those are two weird opiates to put together.

@@bradsully6620 You’re obviously not an anesthesiologist, and you’re a perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

LoL❤

Problem is most addicts aren’t comfortable within their own skins. ✌️

I hope your daughter manages to beat her addiction. I just recently lost a friend to Heroin and he'd been clean for 15 years or so. It's vicious circle for these guys that are addicted. I wish you and your daughter all the strength, love and kindness needed to beat this drug x

Even just trying to get one's life together is an important step. Your daughter also has the advantage of having someone who loves her to offer support. Anyone who can beat addiction should be proud of themselves, and anyone who is still trying can look to these people and see hope. So many people don't have the support that you can give. I know it is very difficult for you, but it is not your daughter who is causing harm, it is the drug. I really hope things will work out.

As a professional counselor I want to encourage you to seek a drug counselor to assist you and your family in supporting your daughter recover. She needs limits and accountability a professional can help you and your family adjust to the tough love that is necessary to save her life. Good luck your family is in my prayers.

always good to have a professional counselor who calls their self stilleto stoner.. really makes me think oh yeah..there's a great help.

Suraya Carrim how is your Daughter doing?

My thoughts exactly

Mental heath, specifically emotional pain goes hand in hand with addiction. Its shameful how society, indeed most mainstream people kick/shame/avoid those who are already in atrocious emotional pain.

Linda Claudine t

Very well said, they say 80% of addicts have had trauma/abuse in their younger years, and 90+% mental health issues, mostly depression which leads to self medication. If you are severely depressed and thinking about dying, then you don't give a shit and no SSRI works as strong and quick as opiates. Sadly this short term fix leads to a very long term problem, but if these idiots could focus on the cause, rather than the effect, we'd have much less of a problem.

Linda Claudine one of the biggest misconceptions is that the answer for our issues lies somewhere OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES.

Laura carr i salute you and pray for you 😊

Guaruntee u hit the clinic this morning ,its ok quit methin around u b str8

Iv been on bup or methadone for the the 10 years+ I'm down to 8mg of bup and it's been long and trying at times,,, yes I use to shoot my dose's some times even sell em and get heroin but at the end of the day it's tens years less that I was a full time street addict and I garrenty that's the only reason I'm still alive!!!

Some people have to stay on methadone because the cannot produce the proper levels of dopamine and serotonin themselves naturally. These are the ones that had a wicked addiction and don't get high or nod on their methadone. If it's not broke don't fix it. If your functioning and productive who gives a shit. I could care less what a woman said .

I hope that you're still clean today. I've been clean for almost 11 years. You can do it!!!

🙏🏾💛🙏🏾

Interesting

I’ve never thought about it like that. Thank you for that perspective.

@@alexandrea835 thank you for having an open mind and heart. I long to live in a world, where we stop stigmatizing MAT, and instead celebrate it as being a valid treatment plan, for ODD. Sober living, is sober living.

I used morphine for like 10 years. Every couple of years I would decide to get clean and go through all the crap. After about 7 months I always noticed I was still so depressed so I would go get antidepressants, they would make me feel so messed up like I was coming off a stimulant or something that after about 6 months I would always stop them and start morphine again. Then I get on methadone and I am able to take antidepressants no problem. I will probably be on methadone the rest of my life but it could be a lot worse.

I think it's because pepl think it's their own fault and it's self induced no I'm not sure but I have heard of this talk lots in particular From my own family...

ratchison28 lol

If that was their only problem... right? Exactly , stay with the pot of the smoke and end smack misery in future gens

Samatar Mohammead tramadol caused me to have seizures so scary I will never take that junk again!

Tramadol is the only "narcotic" I can take - all the regular ones make me sick

It is absolutely possible and I’m proof of that. I didn’t like the one comment that was said about Suboxone. Considering Methadone is my drug of choice it certainly wasn’t going to help me to get my life back because I would still be “high” every day. Unlike Methadone, Suboxone has a blocker which after about a year on the medication prevents you from feeling any euphoric effects whatsoever which I believe is the key. You slowly adjust to life and all that it entails. I also suffer from back pain and my pain is managed by an opiate without the potential for abusing it and it’s the only medication like that.

So true👍

Today is my 24 th day coldturkeying 30 years substances abuses...... The worst seems behind,but the damage's done😢

Awww thank you, still a nurse, still clean, kids are doing great!

@@acarlisle1989 So glad you saw my comment!..Appreciate the update. Thanks for being awesome sister.

​@@acarlisle1989thank you for your help I know it is always a struggle but you helped me tonight I will service my best and re overfrom this addiction soon ❤

Sally Gentry yes!!!!

treatment for two years ...?! what kind of treatment...?! Like a suboxone or methadone maintenance program?

Did the doctor force them down your throat,,? Did you take them as prescribed?

Wow, I forgot all about that. They changed ingredients tho. Not the same as it was...

Natalie Sampson Come on, we all know people with tattoos are definitely violent criminals and will rob ya given half a chance. Inky bastards!! 😮 And if they've got a beard too.....well imprisonment is the only option I can see, don't get me wrong, I'm very open minded......I just don't see any other way?👹

Um, aroundaroundaroundaround or downndownndownndown or Ihavebeenherefartoolongyada......LOL.

Exactly. THANK YOU!

You got this. Keep pushing forward. It's so fucking hard. I never ever thought I could do it. 27 years I was hooked on everything. Died 13 times over the years. And I did it. So can you. If you newd to talk message me if I can help I will.

Been clean and sober now for 11 years august 16th was my 11th year sober.

hahaha, I'm gonna start telling people that if they ask. ill mimic putting on a fake monocle for affect to

2 years passed, how are you now?

I will continue to smoke weed forever. Have been for 40 years

I agree that it isnt a problem that only effects single parent homes but it does seem that single parents are more easy to pursuade when it come to schools influencing or even threating them by threating to remove the child from school if he or she isnt medicated.

Yes!! I was thinking the same, she's too young to hear all this!!

especially since the Mom has been clean 4yrs and 8months!!

The child had earphones in, I took note that she was talking in front of her child which is why I bothered to look and see that her daughter couldn't hear what her mother was saying.

She does

they're dark gray-ish, try looking!

the daughter is wearing headphones

Trust me , the daughter is listening, you can tell at some times she looks up and can tell that she is listening...

Yeah that was stupid

Kids always hear more than you think

Stephanie yeah, thats what I was thinking too

Headphones!

I agree, no way to know if that girl had anything playing in the headphones

yeah it's so horrible to watch people addicted, it makes them suffer, no one should have to go through that. I hope the treatment is available everywhere. it's an Illness not a moral choice. It breaks my heart, breaks it over and over. I don't wanna lose anymore people because of addiction.

The drugs are coming in from outside US. Damn the pushers and cooks to eternal hellfire

Apryl Wiggins that was very funny..lol 😂

Apryl Wiggins lmaooo

She sounded like someone who doesn’t smoke “the pot”

Kinda like getting " potted up " on the pot.

Candes Ok over here in australia. We say “I’m gonna smoke a cone” Love weed , that gorgeous natural outdoor thc wonder herb. Munchies , giggles , paranoia , video games, on the thunder box , stay on weed best thing

That's not entirely true. There are many who are from loving families that are well off. That just simply go down the wrong path. And they posses none of your aforementioned.

Jerissa Martinez I respectfully beg to differ, Jerissa. Some heroin addicts might come from well to do families and good families, but after they suck all they possibly can from their families, they all eventually end up in the trash heap just like everybody else or they die first. Some addicts are born in the trash bin and some fall into the trash bin, but all heroin addicts end up in the trash bin after they use up all their money on H. All the rest is true too. Think of the long-term heroin users you know: massive, tattoos, cigarettes, poverty, illegitimate children, crime, incarceration, mental illness, broken homes, broken lives. Rubber stamp, rubber stamp. All the same

Well I am going to set you straight sir, I personally can tell you that you're idea of 'the addict' is wrong, that's the stigma talking, not the reality, I can tell you this because I was an addict for 8 years. No tattoo's, I don't smoke and never have, my parents are still together, I am not well off but don't struggle either, I have no criminal record and have 2 children to the same man who owns his own businesses, my life was certainly made more difficult but no where near broken, I never did end up 'in the trash bin' and wasn't born in one (whatever that may mean??? Don't EVER write a baby off I find that highly offensive and stupid) it's a hard road to travel but it taught me lessons, one of which was not to judge others!

Kittymittenz zzz​ I will set YOU straight, kittymittens. If YOU were the addict and did not end up in jail and broke, it means that you are an anomaly and PROBABLY had family that went to extraordinary lengths to keep you out of jail. For the vast majority of heroin users, life is a circle of addiction, crime, incarceration, and institutions until the addict either gets clean or dies. So, if you were some lilly white heroin addict using at home and causing no one any pain or grief and not stealing to feed your addiction, then you are a very rare addict. I am willing to bet my last dime that your family and friends have a different story to tell about your addiction.

No my friends and family had no change in the way they felt about me during my addiction, aside from sadness. As somebody who has never had an addiction don't YOU DARE put me in some kind of 'box' when you know nothing about it. My family did not go to extraordinary lengths whatsoever, the police just never looked at me and when they did it would be because I was with someone else who was known to them, I have been name-checked many times and nothing ever came of it. I just kept my head down, used at home, my dealer changed his number continually so my name would never be seen on any phone chip he had. My family were sad, don't you think I have had long intimate conversations with them, I know exactly how they felt. But as I wasn't jabbing £200 a day into my body, I smoked it, I wasn't really at risk of overdosing, I kept myself well, a functioning addict if you like. Do you understand that, this is my life and my family and only I know what I and they went through. I was a piece of shit for hurting them but I still leaned lessons I otherwise wouldn't have. You cannot see clearly as u were never an addict. DON'T prejudge me or my family!!!!

+steve b no. I'm not. My friend put together a very informative documentary and i want to see his work. Fuck outta here

mike robbins . I will pray for you, God helps those who help themselves,. if you start taking baby steps to get better, then you will ✝️

mike robbins How are you doing now? Hope things got better for you with time. I am also a recovering meth addict. It's really hard & painful to kick addiction!

mike robbins I'm so sorry. I'm struggling with addiction to prescriptions. It's so stupid. I have watched every intervention that has ever aired. My family is all law enforcement. I smoked weed maybe a handful of times from 18-25. I broke my back and all the Drs did was through drugs at me (not their fault at all) I chose to continue to take them and took more than I was supposed to. In 2015 I went on suboxone and stopped cold turkey without any complications. I had another surgery in 2016 and was right back to taking to many. I know what comes next when the pills stop working or I can't find them. This scared the holy hell out of me but I guess not enough to try and get help again. I'm so lost in the addiction world again and can't find the help or maybe I just don't find the help. This is the 1st time I'm admitting to any of this. I'm not an 18 year old that lives with mommy or couch surfs and gets high with friends. I'm 39, married and have 3 kiddos they all deserve so much more. I lost my mom at 18, and yes it's the worst pain ever but I've continued to live a somewhat normal life until my addiction issues. My kids and husband are probably all better off without me sitting on my ass looking for more pills. I'm sorry this turned into a woah is me. I'm so sorry you are struggling too. Best of luck my friend.

@@faribatabassum4657 Meth isn't even hard to come off compared to heroin, its mostly mental. No physical withdrawals like heroin, you can sleep after coming off meth which you can't really do with heroin, and you are not physically ill every single morning you wake up like with heroin. How many years were you on meth and how many of those years were you shooting up?

How are you doing now?

morto dentro I think he /she was being sarcastic

PIA SHA'DON ONFROY Scully, I’ve been looking for you...

Im sorry to hear about your experience involving addiction, I truly am. With that said though, I'm also sad about the children who are being prescribed meds for adhd who dont have adhd. Addiction is being forced onto many American's by the system! Ch!ldren being prescribed meds, starts as early as elementary school in this country! Just look at how many children are being perscribed meds for suppossed behavior/focus issues in this country. -adds- When that child grows up into an adult he or she is allready dependent on a drug that was prescribed to him or her as a child. Also , its very likely that he or she will be eventually prescribed additional meds geared towards countering side effects from the initial medication that was prescribed to them back when they was a child. Back when they had no say in the matter, completly do to them not having rights or laws protecting them against this cr!me against humanity! unpopular or even uncomfortable should never equal inapropriate (American_Intermediary) This comment was not intended to offend or make anyone feel bad who has been caught up in this crime against humanity. This vicious practice, that is happening on a scale that most of us dont even wanna seriously stop & think about. *Imagine what future generations will say when they look back at this and the negative impact that its having on American Society.* This comment meets community friendly guidelines & are we seriously not allowed to discuss this for the purpose of getting an idea where the citizens of this country stand on this issue? A comment of mine very similar to this regarding this issue recieved close to 5,000 likes in less then 2 days on another Y/T channel before it & the thread following was deleted & shut down. With that said, I know that there are alot of people who feel similar to the way that I do about this issue occurring here in the United States of America.

@@DeanDangerousTDD7 I’m a Swedish woman with one of children, a girl adopted from Vietnam, who was prescribed Ritalin, she took some but then refused to take them because they made no difference. Among her friends were several addicts, she got cannabis oil for her cold, made her vomit. A kodein in the dentists waiting room gave her sever abdominal pain and vomiting. Alcohol made her dizzy and sick. I truly believe her brain from that part of Asia was the reason.

i understand your point but end of the day, the user is making a choice. i have 10 years sober so i can talk. there is booze in a fridge 4 doors down in a pizza shop on the corner. im making a choice not to go get it. now here is where non users have it twisted: if i do go get that drink, THEN i lose the power of choice because there is something in me that cannot stop once i get going. but the first one? is a choice.
