Let's Talk Recovery
United States
Registrace 27. 11. 2023
Life can be TOUGH. Traumatic experiences shape who we are. I get it. I've been there more than once and struggle daily. Not having anyone to relate with doesn't make it any easier. It doesn't matter what stage of recovery you are in. If you need someone to listen to just to get out of your head for a bit, you've come to the right place. Going forward, I'm going to talk more about random experiences I've had throughout my life. Some of them will be intense. Some of them will be funny. Some of them will be cringey... Let's all be a part of something greater than ourselves. Whoever is watching/reading this... you are worth it! We, as human beings, aren't perfect. We don't have to let our past define who we are. Much love to everyone!
The Worst Things I've Done In Addiction & Moving Forward
Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease of the mind. Throughout the course of our addiction we inflict a lot of pain on not just ourselves, but onto other people. The shame we accumulate over time doesn't need to dictate the outcome of our lives.

Smoking Crack & The Insanity That Comes With it
zhlédnutí 9KPřed měsícem
This video shares my experience of smoking crack and living on the streets of New York City. I discuss the physical sensation of smoking crack and provide a brief overview of the challenges I've encountered while being homeless. Addiction is a serious issue, and I want to emphasize that I'm not trying to diminish its gravity. I apologize for the somewhat cheesy intro; I'm actively striving to m...
Heroin Addiction: First Time Skateboarding Again!
zhlédnutí 199Před 3 měsíci
I stepped on a skateboard for the first time in many years. I used to skateboard for 8 years before I started injecting heroin. This message is one of positivity. Pay attention to the world around you because it's not all that bad. It's important to practice gratitude and try and find the beauty in the small things we sometimes take for granted. My heart goes out to everyone. #storytime #addict...
Drug Addiction: Shooting Heroin For The First Time
zhlédnutí 39KPřed 3 měsíci
Every heroin addict can remember the first time they used heroin. Our first time is often the most memorable because we never experience that same feeling again. Our lives become a mission to chase that first high we got. I also touch on the selfishness of drug addiction, the impact it's had on loved ones, and where I'm at today. #addiction #raw #storytime #recovery
Dealing With Hate Comments: You Are Untouchable!
zhlédnutí 63Před 3 měsíci
There are many people looking to put others down in order to take the focus off of themselves. It's easier said than done, but try and remember how short our time here on earth is. Don't waste your time worrying about what others have to say about you unless it's coming from a place of care and concern. #selfimprovement #recovery #motivational
Fentanyl: Stop Gambling With Your Life!

Being Single Is Better: Learn About YOU First
zhlédnutí 124Před 4 měsíci
Being single on Valentine's Day isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sure, you may be hurting, thinking about past loves, or upset because you're single, but this can also be a blessing. Being single allows us to focus on becoming our best selves for when the right one comes along. Everyone makes mistakes; nobody is perfect. Perfection does not exist. Having fewer distractions and more time for yours...

As someone who has witnessed a lot of insanity over the years, this memory sticks out the most because of how everyone around me reacted.

Forever chasing the dragon 🐉
YEAH ROBBERY IN CRACK HOUSES IS PART OF THE GAME
yeah the first hit is like loosing your virginity ,, after that man game over waste of time AND MONEY
How many of you crack people are on anti-psychotic meds trying to do recovery but while on those meds the only thing you can feel is smoking crack? And you feel trapped in a cycle?
1:24 unintentionally hilarious but so true
Sad Rip
I feel your pain ...360 flips were my trick .. ima start working on them again
Its crazy man, I never see youngsters skate around anymore like I used to. I wish skating would have a comeback - used to be my outlet fr
Omg are you okay
He's high
Prove it
@@RecoveryTalk That or long term damage. Prove it? You gotta be high to try.
MY VOICE HAS BEEN SILENCED MY WHOLE DAMN LIFE. MY BEAUTIFUL SACRED MIRACULOUS VOICE. MY VOICE IS MY MAGICAL GIFT OF TRANSMUTATION! that being said, all my life... I have given people access to me in ways that I should not have EVER granted them access now, I want to scream at the top of my lungs: FUCK OFF!! YOU DO NOT GET TO HAVE ACCESS TO ME IN THAT WAY!! THE DOOR IS NOT OPEN!! YOU MAY NOT COME IN!! ACCESS DENIED!! I've been programmed my whole life to be silent, conditioned to have no boundaries...
Once someones been so used to treating you a certain way, to change the whole dynamic would ruin everything. I've flat out ended relationships/friendships just bc its more hassle than its worth. Its crazy once we gain insight into how f'd up we are and realize our whole social network is catered to our f'd UPness.
You look healthier every video you move through the weeks scotty
Beautiful scotty i genuinely hope your ok, give us an update man!, no hate just love from wales in great Britain x
Come on brothers and sisters lets help each other
Im in the same boat as you, im subscribing, lets get better together, support each other. Lets get a recovery community started brother x
Right after the moment he says 'i have been a selfish prick' he feels that this statement is true for him and the sadness kicks in. Damn, painful.
Back in the late 60's we tried smack for the first time they were small red capsules called penny caps because they cost one dollar and inside was China White and never needed to be heated up like the shit these days, half of that cap and immediate puking and far from pleasurable I thought what kind of crap is this it only makes you sick it was glamorizing the shit I was young and thought this is what real men do, it was after about a week of fooling around with it that the good part started to shine through and the dreams unbelievable you nodded and if you thought of something it would start running in your mind like a good movie as soon as you awoke it was gone so you nod again over and over to run these tapes through your heads, no confusion or crazy mood altering like acid, you had to nod so the movies would start anywhere you wanted to go you were there open your eyes gone instantly and you thought wow this trip is too much it was exciting to see what you could conjure up and every time you took a shot the first thing happened was one good puke and then heaven in your mind, I have seen friends nodding off and waking up the cigarette they had just lit had burned all the way down on their chest while laying back half the paper still melted into their chest and not felt a thing from wanting to see the movie run its course. The garbage that is sold these days is anything but the Real McCoy, just a bunch of mixed chemicals, yeah it's kind of smooth but the movie is gone, just wake up drooling over yourself but no action just a nod, the good part, you don't puke, and like everything in life you can't take it too far just periodically, never daily..
i think you guys just over reacted about it , the human minds could reach over any thing , control every thing you ever face if you got it straight , knowing what you doing knowing how it gonna get to you , strong mind is unbreakable
idk what to do. im a middle aged woman who never did any drugs until i turned 42, and i started clubbing, and eating ecstasy..someone gave me perocet to sort of come down after the night was over...now? im severely addicted to pain pills, which i guess isnt the same as heroin, but the withdrawals are scary...ive done some very shameful things even for these damn pills...i want help, but i dont know what to do. this is all so confusing and scary to me. :(
opiates are sneaky like that. They rewire your brain to think that this is what you need in order for everything to be ok. When you don't have them, nothing feels right. I don't mean for this to sound like such a generic response, you can google treatment centers in your area that are willing to work with your health insurance. Sometimes, some people, all they need is detox to hit the reset button to get back on track. I have faith that you can overcome it. It's not impossible though it seems like it is. Eventually, without it, those same good feelings, enjoyment in life - comes back. My heart goes out to you.
@@RecoveryTalk it sucks, because im more about avoiding the sick feeling at this point...im out of my depression, and im pretty happy...sometimes i even forget to take the damn things, until they remind me in the worst way possible :/ i regret ever doing this. thank you for your reply, you described it perfectly!!
It's an urban myth you never experience the same feeling again. The first time isn't even the best time because you will puke
My first time using heroin itvtook my breath away. A wave of euphoria and warmth. Total content and i never looked back. 27 years hardly any clean time. Smoked for many years but as soon as i hit it. Yeah its a lost cause for a long time.
Just stick too LSD
I personally used to like crack, thing is, it started making me paranoid so what’s the fun in that.
8 months in rehab. One week after I go out I shot heroin. Yesterday I od'd.
Im glad that you survived to be able to make this comment. There’s a reason you’re still here.
Drugs are evil don't do it kids or your end up a lowlife loser
You can't fix stupid
Bro your just a dope fiend
Damn…my whole life I thought I was a pirate…thx for the clarification 💯
@@RecoveryTalk I really hope you weren't being sarcastic man this isn't a game you have to get clean immediately before all is lost. Good luck! Peace.
@@Jaccd before all is lost? I’ve already lost everything…this is the part where I’ve now been clean for a good chunk of time and have been slowly getting everything back. Don’t think you caught that part but that’s ok.
A real man is what i see with a lot of potential and a good heart, be strong buddy
A real man never quits what he loves in this life he learns to moderate.
Crack is a waste of powder...
Great story
This is very powerful
One blaze we all had there was a dozen of us round a mates house I was around 25 and I’d bought the most! I bought two 50 stones and by the end of the night I was so spun and tweeking off my nut my mate Ben who’s dead now was desperate for another hit and I had some left in my sock and I threw it at him and said smoke up and I left in the morning at around 5am and I had work at 6, put it this way I never made it to work I was so anxious off my head rocking under a cover on my sofa thinking shit man this is the end! I continued to smoke crack on and off until I was around 40! Moral of the story do not smoke crack/meth it will ruin you!
Daaaamn this was so well spoken. And nothing was held back it feels probably. This story could be way longer. Never did hero but i can imagine being stuck for ever
Can see the pain on your face. I’ve been addicted to opioids since I turned 19 and I’m 26 now. Kicked it off and got heartbroken and went right back to it. Been on it for 5 years straight now, I’m hoping and praying I get off it permanently before I’m 30. It’s hard to imagine a life without it. Wishing you the best in your recovery
thanks for your video. i lost a childhood friend to a heroin overdose in 2022. RIP SIMON
i know
Just had this video come up in my recommended. Nice video
Thanks for your honesty. Power to you and what ever you do from now on.
Thank you for your story
Beautifully spoken
Sorry but can’t have any sympathy for junkies, you made the choice no one forced you.
😂
Unless most commonly you become addicted through medical prescription.
We love you. You are helping and you are helping to save people. Thank you
ALL the love back to you <3
Such an intelligent guy doing something positive
Yo , u bragging or complaining ? Y do u think its called DOPE 😕
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
Does heroin really feel that good???????
MegaCasper4 yes
I stick to weed once in a while, i dont drink alcohol any, quit 2 months ago
Thank you, from France. I recognize a lot of my life in your videos ; there's such wisdom in your words.
Thank YOU for the kind words & support
I love your honesty brother. What most lack in the world, not only addicts. ❤
Talk actually about recovery and how to change.
I appreciate your feedback
@@RecoveryTalk everyone knows how to get high but very few know how to change. In the old days very few people had tattoos. Now everyone has them. That’s how drugs are now. People have always been using but now it’s in the open. Everyone knows a junky or someone who’s died from the illness. How many people know someone who has changed and how they did it? That I think would be something people would be interested to know about. We don’t decide how we react to drugs. We don’t decide how we react to sobriety either. And if you have addiction it’s less about the drugs and more about having a rough time just living free. Where the reference point is life and what we can bring to it.
Very powerful message
