      You probably had a sugar daddy or a guy to give u money and drugs. With a bed and heat. And if not 1 guy 2 or 3. I'm no stranger to the street life. All girls have a guy to take care of them as long as they prostitute themselves. It's easier for a woman period. You don't see any sugar mamas out there. Be proud you're clean but don't brag. Cuz sounds to me you had it easy and it was a quick yr or 2 and you had family who loved you and hope.

    Mental health issues isn't a joke. Don't film people in their worst. It can happen to you too or perhaps someone you love.
    Add: Getting clean doesn't just happen overnight, and fighting the withdrawal could take years. There needs to be ongoing support for patients who go through the process so they don't find themselves stuck again due to economic, financial, social, medical, etc. factors. One small hiccup and some are found using again. This is coming from a person who knew someone who had drinking issue due to her extreme depression brought on by a mental health disorder. Everyone chooses their own poison to numb the pain and in their worst, they can't tell right from wrong. On the flip side, there are people who start under peer pressure, which stems from their environment, company they lack or the company they have. It's a North American epidemic because the family system is compromised by many factors.

      This infuriates me! The person filming clearly has no respect for people, instead of sharing this on social media for clout, why didn’t they go and talk to this man? Ask him if he was ok? Ask if he needed help?
      Addicts are people too, they have just found themselves upon hard times, the person filming has no idea about this person, he has a name! No one knows what kind of life this man may have had to land him here, more than likely a pretty tough one.
      It would be nice for a change if people just put down their phones and offered an arm to those who are in clear need of support.
      What people need to remember is that addiction isn’t prejudice it can come for anyone at anytime, it could be you! Why are humans so awful to other humans? Why do we think we’re more superior than addicts? Why do we think we have the moral high ground? Until you’ve walked a mile in this man’s shoes then you should not judge, and if you are to take anything from this exploitive video then remember just how lucky you are that you’re not in this man’s position, and if and when you can, think about how you can help to make the world a better place.
      If you found this video in any way shape or form amusing then shame on you, I’m so glad that you or anyone you know haven’t ended up where this man is, how lucky you are!
      I’m wishing this man all the best and if anyone knows who this man is or where he’s located please let me know, I want to reach my arm out, I have very little to offer in monetary terms but what I lack in cash I can make up with my time, and time spent is priceless, sometimes all these people need are someone to listen to them, and we’ll I have two working war to which I am very thankful for and I’m going to use them in how they were intended to be used and that’s to listen, listen without judgment and if I can help just one person by giving them the time of day then I know I’ve done my job as a human being!

      @@maymacbell3983 i agree that filming someone like this isnt exactly right. However, i‘m sure YOU won’t have the actual balls to go up to someone who is tweaking like this and ask if they need help. You never know how they might react, they might see you as danger and turn aggressive real quick. Not just that but you need to realize that these people have issues that regular people can‘t help them with. That is the job of a fully trained proffessional! Only they know how to handle these types of situations. Also, you cannot help someone who isn‘t willing to help themselves. Theres a good chance that someone who is this deep into addiction will pull you into their misery or just straight up use you for their benefit. So be careful with this idealistic way of thinking.

      Good for you man! You’re not lying, it is hard as hell to quit. I have 15 months clean yesterday from a decade+ long opioid addiction. I broke my neck in 2010 and got dependent on pain pills. Then towards the end of 2012 they started cracking down on the opioid epidemic and my doctor cut off my prescription with no warning or taper. Within 6 months of that I was a full blown heroin addict. Within 6 months of that I overdosed for the first time.

    I was a firefighter. Once we came upon an unconscious woman, totally unresponsive. I thought she was in her 40s but she was only 26. She was an addict, a street-walker. She did not die that day, but was dead less than 2 years later. The heart-breaking thing was the police going through her purse. Wadded up $5 and $1, make up, old t-shirt, brush and a folded, creased photo of a beautiful little girl on her father's lap, Christmas tree in the background. Sad stuff.

      But the heart of the problem are the hords of "Unhappy" Young People! Poorly educated, many are "STUCK" in Low Quality employment, until they either learn a skill or luck into an OJT position, but most of those are limited!
      We have too many young people with no hope of anything like a happy, productive future for themselves. They drift from one sleeping place to the next, often homeless by choice, or thrown out for stealing!

    When my son past away yrs ago i was in dark place, not caring what happened to me and quickly reaching for alcohol and pills ( from a dr for an injury) to feel better. Thank God for giving me a father and new women (who has been my wife for 14 yrs) who straightened me up and gave me something to live for. I dont judge people who are struggling like this because you dont know their story, they are just ordinary people who are in pain.

    I once had my struggles with addiction.
    It took some good people in my life that made me look in the mirror and I got ashamed of how my whole life was ruined.
    From that moment, I got angry, I detoxed, slept, ate, got back to working and exercising and I removed all people in my life who use or abuse anything.
    Reality is hard, sometimes they need to be told the truth. Because only then, you have to get emotional to fix the problem.
    Pandering and letting people allow you to make excuses and lie to yourself will only increase the suffering.

Grandma was a street walking crack hoe in the 70s, parents doing heroin in the 90s, and now their kids are doing meth and fentanyl. It's hard for people to break away from the only lifestyle they know if they don't have any support.

      You cannot reason with someone who Doesn't have the full capacity and a brain as someone who is healthy. H simply will not work they cannot connect the dots. I unfortunately work with children who were born with alcohol and drugs in their system. Way before they become teenagers you cannot rationalize with them in their heads. They think they are making logical sense. It would have been much more merciful for their parents to be sterile & terminate these offspring. Instead they not only carry them to full term. In addition to declaring that they don't want the kids that they damaged. Wanting facilities like mine to "raise" and medicate them for the rest of their lives.

I've ruined multiple relationships with alcohol. I'm only 19. Everyone my age seems disgusted by me. Honestly I only rlly fit in with other addicts cuz they understand. Don't wanna call my self an addict but I def got an issue. Honestly I'm lucky I don't have access to anything harder rn because it's really hard not to accept anything that's offered to me. I know it's not the same thing you are going through. But it's still hard to vent about it to people because they really don't understand.

    I think this is so sad to see this. I was a bad junkie and looked a lot like this myself. I shot up whatever I could, even stuff I really couldn't but tried to. I've shot everything from meth to heroin and dilaudid to morphine and never thought there was going to be a good end, only death was as good as it was going to get. I lost everything, my house, car, everything in my house, my friends and nearly everyone in my family. None of them wanted to sit around waiting for me to die but the worst thing I lost was myself, my self esteem, my self regard, and my mind and almost lost my will to live..I didn't want to live. Not like that, not hooked on drugs so bad I literally couldn't live without them..I couldn't live with them either. It was so hard to find help. I finally found it. I was doing drugs really my whole life but was addicted and shooting drugs for 7-8yrs. Oct. 5th 2020 I said goodbye to dope and I never looked back. I've never dipped my toe in the pond either, meaning I've never relapsed and I have no intentions of ever going back and could have so many times, I'm in constant, chronic pain 24/7/365 and I suck it up and deal with it and days like today is so very hard because the pain is so great. All I know is it could be worse, I could still be an addict right? I lost my legs due to drugs, my heart is done for, my liver was full of hep c with the worst genotype to fight which I had Nash also. I am dying now, but the difference now is I know it unlike my obliterated state when I not only didn't know, I didn't care either. Caring about it all now is the hardest way to live but I'm aware of everything. And it's so hard to get back on my feet it's damn near impossible. I can't work and I don't make enough to obtain housing. I live with the only family members who will take me in, 7 of us Ina small single wide trailer. My daughter and grandkids still hate me so I will never get them back and I only screwed up the one time and never put her or her kids in the midst of my hell. My two sons still care at least. Life is so hard but I'm alive, probably not for long but.im alive right now and maybe just maybe I will make it to another Xmas. I just want you addicts, even you nonaddicts, there's no sugar coating it life is going to be 50x harder than it was before your addiction. No one will ever treat you like they used to because you are nothing like you used to be. If anyone finds out you were an addict it will be no different as when you used to be an addict only your clean now, again that doesn't make one bit of difference. If they hated u before they hate you now. Especially health care workers. Don't ever make the mistake of telling them you USED TO BE AN ADDICT because you will be flagged and guaranteed you will be treated cruelly forever more. And plz, u health care workers don't tell me you aren't like that, YOUR ALL LIKE THAT. It's disgusting. Even society, you may get a handful compared to thousands that care but it's rare. However, don't take that as a reason to keep doing drugs, or to go back to drugs if you quit. No its not pretty out there, I thought it would be to and I was very disheartened when I found out how wrong I was but even so, if I could do it all over again I obviously wouldn't become an addict lol. Seriously tho, I won't ever go back to drugs. All those haters out there can just keep hating because it will not change my mind. I love the fact I'm clear headed and that I don't have that awful addiction on my back anymore controlling me. I control me now not the drugs or the dealers so stick with it and if you haven't quit yet do everything possible you can do to quit. If I ever do it again I am 100% sure it WILL kill me and for the first time in 52 yrs I actually want to live and I don't want to die but as sick as I am I wish my drs and nurses didn't hate me Iike they do. I might want to go to them instead of shortening my life staying away from them. Good luck and if anyone needs to talk to someone who walked in their shoes message me

      I hope here in Philippines, people too would choose to rehabilitate these poor guys instead of cheering the police when they kill addicts 😰 I don't understand why we as a Christian country would have many other wise good-hearted people cheering the police who kill these drug addicts instead of trying to help them or rehabilitate them.. I am grateful that in America, many people there have compassion for their suffering addict brethren and would want to help them get out of their addiction. I wish I can see this here in my country too. We are a Christian country, predominantly Catholic and it breaks my heart to see devoted Christians cheering the police killing these addicts... No matter hoe bad a person is, especially if they can be rehabilitated, we as humans, it is out duty to help our brethren fight their weaknesses and so they can become better and be an inspiration to others who are struggling also. We are sinners sinning differently and it's not our job to judge others if we don't extend help to them in the first place.

    As a former iv drug addict that never dreamed it would be me that would fall hard and fast so damn easily, I feel like the desire to separate ourselves from this reality that causes us to recoil out of fear and disgust is what makes this disease so strong and hard to beat. We don't want to believe that it could happen to any one of us let alone the people we love and invest so much of ourselves in. I fear that this epidemic is fueled by the denial that so many of us cling to out of fear, anger, hatred, confusion and selfishness. And what makes it easy to deny and ignore is the selfishness of the disease. Addicts are survivors that can go to extreme lengths, taking from anyone to feed that cruel soulless monster that will eventually take over completely and cast out any remaining hints of the human that used to enhabit the body. If we truly want to rid the world of addiction we must not be afraid to really see it.

      Congratulations! 4 yrs here 🥳 no relapses no temptation no nothing. I was so sick of being sick that I was basically running from myself trying to get away from what I hated. I did it and 3 yrs clean, it seems like a lot longer, the more years you get between you and what you used to do makes it seem longer which is a good thing. I've been at the "I can't believe I did that shi! and lived like that " point for a while now. I'll catch myself thinking about how life was and catch myself doing an eye roll about myself. 😆 I'm just so disgusted that I was ever in a mess like that. I don't talk about it unless it's something like this or if I think I can help someone and then I don't want to think about it . Makes me cringe to think about it now. I told my husband how I feel about myself now and he's of course saying don't worry avoid it, and look how far you've come. I said I wish I'd never been anywhere to come from..I don't know how long a person has to deal with being mad at yourself, maybe forever but it keeps me grounded and feeling like I do, it might just be a punishment I have to deal with forever, who knows ? But I can handle about anything so ill just live with it as long as long as I have to..

    I had this addiction phenomenon explained to me one day by a woman who used to be involved in drug trafficking. She said, “It isn’t the Boogeyman who introduces drugs to your children. It’s their friends.”
    It seems to start with just wanting to belong, especially if things are tough at home.
    Sometimes it’s an accident or surgery and they get addicted to the powerful painkillers they were prescribed. I don’t think anyone plans to become an addict.

And I went from a suburban mom and wife, to being on these streets with my husband. He was stealing my medication and had to replace it and anyway point being I made it out of there but he couldn't stop. I left him 2 years after I got clean and he overdosed in 2019.

I'm happy that you decided to stop it. It's a totally new lifestyle with learning how to be happy and live your life without being high. My suggestion, you didn't ask for but I'm just throwing it out there, get a fun hobbit or keep yourself busy. .

      I'm sure they never intended to become addicts , I believe they probably didn't want the withdrawals.
      I wished fir death whilst going through withdrawals it's a real thing that nobody can adequately explain thec excruciating pain, and I've had 2 natural chikd births.

Wait a few minutes then take tweezers and go up in there and pull out the scabs saying they were boogers and he would end up punching a hole in the septum and pull out the cartilage and still say it's boogers..but he would keep the "dope boogers" and eat them saying that they have $40 worth of dope on them and he's not going to waste it. It's was sick but it was only when he did the dope, if you were to tell him the day after what he did he would get sick and throw up at the thought of eating his scabby boogers. Now if I had a bad cut and it was starting to scab up like on my leg or arm or whatever I'd sit there and pick at it with my Peroxide and alcohol and bandaids to clean it and put a cover on it. But my point is everyone I know including myself and my wife picks when they get fucked up or to a certain level of... highness? Idk lol but some just go all in like fuck it, fuck turning septic IDGAF.. gangrene bet that shit, shit idk if you can see the bone through my gaping hole in my leg I'm going to pick at it till I get it cut off lol

      Ye. The tranquilizer is called Xylazine, its obviously a sedative but the worst part is that is it also a vasoconstrictor, meaning it causes your veins to contract or "shrink" in a way. If you keep shooting up in the same area, eventually the veins will die, causing the flesh there to suffocate in a way because of lack of oxygen. The tissues then die, and you have these really narly lesions. Its baaaad

      Spice and its many variations (which you probably call bathsalts and are nothing to do with bathsalts), also cause these symptoms,,exactly! Damn it, so does heroin! You want to feel an itch that makes you claw at your skin until you rip and dig holes into your arms and legs, take heroin.
      Try to have a clue before talking crap online like you are some social substance expert because from here it is very evident that you are not.
