I'm in my mid teens and all I do is smoke weed my old Friends do more then just smoke weed because of these videos I haven't tried other drugs thank you
It is not worth it. It will always take you down. Sometimes it takes longer for others, but it will happen. Some people are like, oh o can get high and keep a job and still live life so I'm not an addict. It just takes longer for the drugs to rip those people down. And speaking from experience, it's harder to come out of it when you're a "functioning addict". It's just so not worth it man trust me. The hardest thing in the world is to get clean but it's either that or death. We recovering addicts have a saying, addiction leads to 3 possible outcomes, jails, institutions (psychwards, nut houses, etc) and death. There's no other outcome. Before I was an addict I was warned by so many people that you may think you can just try it or do it just a few times but you will get addicted, and if you've never done the drug or the way you're doing it (snorting, shooting, etc) than do not start. I didn't listen cuz I thought I was different. But it's this simple, if you haven't done it yet, don't start. And if you have started, literally stop right this second. It only gets harder every second that passes, and every second that passes you are making your life and everyone's around you terrible. Your chances of dying and/or getting some kind of disease increase by the thousands every second that passes when you're in addictive addiction.
I pray you never touch any of it. It is not worth it. No matter how much those evil demons try to convince you other wise. Drugs like heroin will make you do things you never would've done before. Like stealing from family or your significant other, robbing people and places, hurting or even killing someone. It might sound like a stretch but that's because you haven't been there yet. Trust me when I say that the drugs will make you someone you're not and make you do things youd never do.
God bless you and I hope you have the best life possible
Weed is all you need man. Hard drugs feel great but in the end you're miserable. Real life can't compete with how great these drugs feel and life becomes miserable and bland. Don't do hard drugs
@@dankmemesgivemewetdreams5933 totally true
Be proud about being straight edge, not self conscious. I know when you're younger it's seen as the more drugs and alcohol you do, the cooler you are. Well trust me, you'll see when you graduate high school(sometimes even before then), immediately all those cool kids become losers and all the straight edge people who actually put effort and care into things not only become the cool kids, they also become the good looking, popular, and succesful ones too. It's ALWAYS better to be a late bloomer than an early one. The worst thing you can do in life is peak in highschool and those be the best years of your life. Life done even really begin till after high school so don't burn yourself out too early. You'll be glad you kept cool at a young age.
YOU CAN'T MISS SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD!!!
"I pawned everything that meant everything to me to get high" thats some sad deep stuff man..damn
@dan alex 77 keep pushing man, im kicking weed as we speak. makes me depressed

the first time i smoked crack everything changed. the experience itself is unforgettable. almost a decade later i am still having to rethink decisions to keep myself sober.
We'd rock up crack and smoke it before using heroin. I never understood crackheads addiction solely to crack as for us the want hours after using it would go away. I assume it becomes physically addictive after after months on end though
Thanks for your honesty. It's an eye opener to see this process of giving up addiction is a day by day, year by year process. I have a food addiction. I battle this addiction daily and it's hard. Power to both of us, all the best.
Crack has got nothing on meth
@@alee7275 i dont think its a competition bruh
Benjamin Wilcox comparing substance potency is not competition. Way to twist my words. Good work on staying sober anyway 👍🏻
ugh.... heroin. It truly is the devil's drug. That and meth. Stay far away kids!!
i bet ure pretty hot. cause you said 'ugh'.
@@lordnelsonmc.billionberg9166 I didn't realize yew had a thing for breath. That's kind of hot if yew ask me.
Sir Ducklord shutcho horny ass up
Marie F yes all opiates are dangerous
Facts
I understand addiction and how serious and destructive it is. But when the camera cut when said “school full of girl, didn’t miss a day of school” it was so funny 😂

Heroine is one of the worst drugs you can be addicted to. I feel for you but still happy that you are sober. Kudos
As easy and small as this heroin sound, I get afraid when ever I see how it ruined peoples life. I will forever learn from this story man. Thank you
We don’t take drugs because we’re happy , hearing these stories anything is possible, god bless you for sharing ❤️🙏

Remember kids, weed and LSD are the limits
Truth
I agree with weed..but idk about LSD...
Weed started him off on the drugs path!
@@pam164 oh really? Champagne contains alcohol. Will it lead me to becoming an alcholic? Where is the limit?
@@DMW111090 LSD is fine. Try do some research :)
Selling drugs can become an addiction in itself. Like he said there comes a feeling of being popular and important and power with dealing drugs.

This guys from the exact area I grew up. I lost my oldest brother to heroin. These stories hurt to hear but give me hope for others. God bless You. 💜
sammythestripper where Phoenix?
Heroin doesn't have the potential to better any life but to ruin it. Thank God you are taking the right part now. Congratulations to you.
Heroin can ruin one's life completely. It is cool to hear as the dude in the video recovered from the effects of heroin and not sucked up deeply.
Addiction can ruin ones life. Really appreciate the encouraging words about reading this and sharing so that many don't go through the same spiral addictions he went through. Wishing you all the best in your sobriety.
I've never understood people that say you never feel your first high again. That was my #1 cause of relapse. Feeling it again. Seems to always work with hard drugs. Takes a lot to want more out of life
You still get high but it will never be the same high as the first time due to how our brain processes it
@@ed-gf9gz always has been to me. A shot of speed always does the same thing. As does a shot of heroin. Truly it's better than the first time. Heroin used to make me sick. In the past my relapsed have been perfect. Every time, many times it's always better than the first time. Way better. Speed the first time scared me. Everytime I've shot speed since has been better. I've been clean for years now but I know if I do a shot today it'll be better than the first because it always is. For today I won't. It's always maybe tomorrow.
Stay strong brother! Your story will eternally inspire many others. Hoping for the best!
Addiction is a Really Difficult things but it is not impossible to overcome it.
Help and Love is what you-all Need!
The destruction and damage addiction cause is more than what we think. This is a lifeguarding short educative video for all. Say no to addiction.
Hey bruh, same exact lives for myself and my husband for the longest! I have been clean for 3 and a half years now from pills and heroin and I will Never ever go back down any road like that again! I did over dose and I just knew then, that was a rap! My 3 kids deserved their mom back and now my twins graduated and my 11 year old is doing absolutely great! The struggle is real, but change can come with trying and God!
Wow that was a great share by Ian very inspiring on how to overcome our addictions. Really appreciate the encouraging words about reading this and sharing so that many don't go through the same spiral addictions he went through.
Withdrawls are hell. 😞
Stacey xan withdrawals had me throwing up in summer school and my body hurt so bad while puking that shit was insane
Huh I m going thru that now .it is like hell .FFS
Sahil Umair go get some Kratom. It is an absolute live savor for withdrawals.
Suboxone/my mother saved my life. How are you now?
I took 60 mg or so a day of norco for almost 3 years.. the body pain.. it was rough.. and if you had been in withdrawal for a day or two you had to take half or so your normal daily dose.. just to get out the withdrawal..
Thanks for sharing your story, you've done a great job of creating awareness on the effect of taking any kind of drugs and living testimony that addiction can be overcome.
Heroine is one of the most severe stuff in addiction. Spending to overcome after a long is very painful.
These success stories are so rare! It’s amazing to hear it and how similar some peoples experiences are thru it all.
Those feelings are real,
This is inspiring. Addiction can ruin ones life. Glad you took that bold step. Thanks for sharing.
Imagine if dope was legal... And we helped addicts... And we didn't shame them... Imagine...
Bam Chug sarcasm
I hope
imagine if you knew world history , imagine
I agree man.
@Cool Breeze You're right. We should make dope illegal and throw people in jail. That will solve our problems. Or we could do like Portugal did and decriminalize all drugs, get addicts help and watch teen pregnancy, HIV and drug addiction plummet. But no. Let's just throw people in jail. Fucking liberals in Portugal fixing problems with medical care and compassion.
Cool Breeze because right now the way society is set up we encourage addicts to become harder criminals by taking away there options. You will never get rid of addiction but if society was set up in a more empathetic way with a stronger focus on reform an recovery instead of punishment we would be much better off. I know it probably sounds radical but we’ve just kind of been conditioned to think punishment is a good road to go down but if you think about it there’s really no logical reason for society to be set up that way and we just breed more violence by having the attitudes we do now.
I really hope he doesn't relapse.
God bless you! Glad you made it out with this incredible story. Wishing you all the best in your sobriety.

Realizing you will never get that feeling again from your first time using is is key
Crazy story man! Be strong bro👍
just another great revealing story to help others, we try to show the same props 👏👏🤟
A tale of redemption. What a great guy, so articulate and human. All the best for you bro, thanks, xxx
I also wish him all the best. Happy that people like this can find redemption. Hoping more people facing this can see light like him
Another lesson we can learn from Ian's life story is there are always ways to become a better person. Thanks for sharing this.
Absolutely!
Family relations being ruined is also a major reason for the descendants of being into addiction. It has been in the past with many people and he also suffered the same.
Drug addiction is a terrible and unpleasant situation. However, the narrator is fortunate to have escaped from the unwholesome habit. Big thanks go to Detox for reformation.
Great 👍 thanks for sharing
Wow God bless you for shearing this with us. It really a big eye opener to stay away from drugs. God bless you for this.
This is a real life story. Congratulations to Ian for the victory.
I'm happy for you. I hope you stay strong.
I found that working the steps is the best thing for me.
The negative effects of heroin can not be overemphasized. It destroys so many lives. I think this would be a lesson for others that involved.
So happy for you!!!💙
We are so happy for him too!
I was addicted to the hokey pokey and i turned myself around
Unknowb Unknown that’s what it’s all about😎
Lol you guys
I hate to listen to the damages parents getting divorce can cause, there children end up been the victim of there selfishness. I'm glad you were able to overcome it
Thank you so much for your story. I am a recovering addict myself and my son is in rehab. Your entire story was so serious and then you threw in One flew over the cuckoo nest and i immediately went from serious concentration to laughter. I know it wasnt meant to be funny but you have no idea how much i needed that laugh!!! THANK YOU!!
I am glad you have overcome through your darks past. Let us forgive ourselves and start strong. In this world full of wrongs, let's be better and be kind.
My advice to people is "stay away from drugs!!". This guy's life almost got destroyed. I sincerely hope he doesn't go back to drugs though..great story
What an experience, sometimes when parents are divorced it could take a negative effect on a child just like it did on him. His life was that of incessant drug abuse but thank God he decided to get the treatment he needed.
I got into selling ecstasy etc. at raves back in 99-2000 in Detroit. I was robbed for like $2500 and shot in the parking lot one night. Stuff will catch up with you eventually when you’re in that game.
This guys story is the exact same as mine. From when I was born and my parents were divorced at a very young age I’d go back and forth between houses always. I wish this guy could be my sponsor.
very lucky to be alive. I know guys that have done lesser and simply died in their sleep.
Bless him
I can relate with this. Being an addict can totally ruin one's life. one have to be careful.
Thank God for your life, this story is very touching and inspiring. I pray you don't relapse.
I hope so too
3:27 Man that was a statement.
This is an understatement. I always see drugs as sort of a person who will sweet talk his way in? A cool kid so to speak, until you know them and see that they are actually not all that. But much worse.
Great content
Youve been on a journey brother.
The part about the snuff film is really interesting. Anyone know if there’s any documentaries done on that kind of thing ? If not, there should be
OMG , this really shocks me. To take a human and kill them for entertainment. That's sinking to the depths of depravity. Drug addiction is the devil's curse. Drug addictis have an illness and need help, don't make moral judgments it is not helpful,
lucy hanna what? I’m saying it would be interesting to do a documentary on the horrifying nature of that..
It sounds like hell!
Ye got interested
I watched a documentary called Snuff, big surprise it's about snuff films lol. It was pretty shocking.
I understand the begging
Selling of drugs is itself addiction. good to see you lastly come out of this addiction.
Great He Recovered Early,it might have wasted Years out of his Lifetime but he still has Great Years to Do Great Things Ahead
Addiction has ruined a lot of people's lives. It destroys health and even physical condition of the addicted. Your story is an emotional one.
What a great story!!! I dare ya to try and make that up
Youre the bomb bro!
15:45 scared the shit outta me for a second...
DDrolet997 SAME LMAO
Why lol
These stories are really very much inspirational for all of us.Not only heroin but any type of drugs are very much harmful for our body specially for our immune system . People should leave this things as soon as possible.
Say no to hard drugs or drug abuse. That way, a healthy life and less hitch free life is guaranteed.
I understand this guy!! I struggled with heroin and pain killers for 5 years, and then struggled with buprenorphine and methadone for another 4 years before finally getting clean in the most seamless way! Almost zero withdrawal by the end by using a long term kratom method.
My Two Sense I’m glad I saw this, I’ve been tapering with Suboxone and I’m down to 1.75 and it’s starting to hurt a little bit. Can you tell me about how you got off Kratom?I tried last time, last year with crate him and I found that it was even harder because then you got a whole other taper. How much time clean do you have now. I want it!
Where can I purchase reputable kratom from online?
God bless you and your life ❤️🙏🌞
His life really trouble and horrified since heroin addiction,keep spirit guys and go back your normaly life,and don't ever use it again and always knowledge them and avoid that killer
Story to learnt a great lesson from it, upcoming young should learn addition is a serious things
Man did you try a lot of shit, you are lucky you are still alive. You had to go through the hard way, but it is better sober than dead. Well done for making that decision to get better.
Drug addiction is one of the most common problem in our society. It can destroy lives and also future. We need to understand that some people tend rely on drugs for their own benefit. They are not aware that in the future their lives will be destroyed.
I prefer the feeling of waking up feeling fresh more than I like the feeling of being drunk at night. So I don’t do drugs either.
Yes family is the most important thing....it touches you deep inside and makes you to get over all the troubles. But if they're not there...then you just have to trust on the institutions to save your life!
Been there for a long time.
Jon Dillehay suboxin saved my life!
@@cindyfitzgerald4500 if your on suboxone you are not clean or sober.. Get off that shit if you ever wanna live a clean lifestyle
@@mintmitch434 Correct, I'm on Suboxone so I am not technically "clean". However, my life has completely turned around for the better, I hold a full time job, I am on good terms with my family, I pay taxes, I take care of my pets and life is good. Your close-minded opinion is dangerous. If Suboxone is that it takes to keep me on this positive oath for now then I will continue it until I'm ready to take the next step. 🖕
@@cencoast_7.340 what are you gonna do when you have to get off suboxone?? do you understand how bad the withdrawals are.. you pretty much fucked yourself over
Mint Mitch I would be dead if my heroin continued so I am completely ok with “fucking myself over”. Thanks for looking out.
I just lost my partner to drugs. I feel like my soul is missing.
Sorry to hear about your loss
OMG 😞
Damn, I'm so sorry!!! 💔
My ex husband died of H o.d.
We weren't together anymore but it still hurts and broke my heart.
Oh, I'm so sorry for your suffering. Addiction brings so much pain not only to the addict but to their loved ones. Take care of yourself, xx
natalija filinova Im sorry i can’t imagine losing my beloved
merncat75 Im sorry did you still love him ?
Bethany home ? You in Phoenix?
A lot of these people are from Phoenix I’ve noticed
We are based in Phoenix, yes. Thank you for watching!
i noticed too i live in Phoenix
Go to california to get clean? Hahah
A lot of people actually do that. I know a lot of people who went to LA of all places to get clean. Sounds crazy I know lol
showing this vid to my future kids to show them to not become a loser and not become this guy in their adult life
WOW! he sure had more fun by 19 than I have had my entire life.
But look where it brought him not worth it man
Yes, Ian I can feel your pain . just after your birth , your got divorce which hurt most . Instead of selecting wrong path You should work hard to make future better . But now good to see you came out of that.
It also ruined his ears Godamn.
Sparksterfu if he’s addicted to heroin, the last thing he’s thinking about is his f’ing ears. It’s fixable. Death isn’t 💔
There is no "once in a while,...Nobody likes halfway; Not even Mister Halfway himself"
Withdraws From Percs And Xanax Are hell
Try fentanyl and Xanax -
ik hes from Phoenix AZ
What is it with heroin and face tattoos?
i love h... it takes my suffering away
Yeah, and then the H wears off and you still have the same problems you started again. WAKE UP!
Jesus can help you, my friend. John 3:16 He is always here for you!
I smoked weed twice, i laughed, got out easy.
Addiction is no blessing as it comes with myraids of issues. I learning to stay away from addiction. it badly ruined loves
Off da perc
Addiction is a soul sickness 12 step program is working for me
100 pills for 800 dollars.. in the netherlands we pay less than 1€ per pill when bought per 100. Goes as low as 0,20 € per pill
jan ijzer ....crazy the difference, but the reason why drugs are so lucrative.....but most of the good ecstasy is made in the Netherlands, that’s why is so cheap for U, by the time it get to the USA street level user, it’s $10-$20 per pill
Yeah true, and 1 pill here contains about 200mg each while in the usa they contain like 100mg, big difference
Als dealer ja, ik betaal gwn €4a5 per pil! Consumenten koop haha. Wel 220 mg
Nina K. Precies, het gaat idd als dealer zo laag, maar als consument kan je ook makkelijk 10 voor 25 fixen
No brother, you’re referring to mdma denk ik
Looking like $krimmy $krim haha g59
2014 skrim haha
Straight up before the dreads and face tats lmaoo
Sounds like him a little bit at 11:29 to lol
JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT THAT'S MY NAME TOO!
Suboxone made me stop drinking and got off subs on them for 5 years and that sucked. Now clean 2 years. Best ever. Get off subs they suck.
How many times one has to insisit on a mistake (doing weed or LSD or pills) before going downhill shooting heroin? Many times. No one wakes up an adict overnight, they have to keep on insisting, like he clearly did.
It is an understatement to say that this man went through hell and back... Though correct, but he who experiences it would be the one to say how hard it is, survival rate is always minimal when one is just at the peak of addiction. Only God and people around and self determination can help
Just go to the gym
Maybe that's what keeps you straight, and that's great, but may not be the answer for someone else.
Some do horse for 15 years while holding a 9-16. Dunno how but it's a fact.
What’s this mean/ holding a 9-16?
Oh. Well yes if they don’t run out of dope.
