The blonde lady reminded me of my early sobriety. Someone told me it was "one day at a time", there’s 24 hours in a day and that was impossible for me as I couldn’t do all those hours, However, I could manage to last until my next cup of coffee, until lunch, until after the news. I could break my day down and last those 24 hours and now all my one days have added up to 25 years.

Thank you to these women for sharing their experiences. I grew up with the crack epidemic in a major city and I watched family members struggle with addiction. Now as an adult I have a few friends who fell into the drug hole. I've watched so many people lose this game of roulette. No one ever wins. Ever.
Addiction is also a habit and people forget this or more often, don't even think about this aspect. It's hard to break habits, even people who aren't addicted to substances can relate to the difficulty of breaking bad habits.
ive gone through withdrawing herion 2 times...by knowing all the sufferr...relapse again and again...but today is my 3 day off of heroin...but this time i know jesus is with me and i knew i can get clean forever...plis pray for me
I was the child of an addict as well and I always thought she chose drugs over me, now I am struggling with heroin addiction. Trust me it's not that she's choosing voluntarily, eventually you feel that you have no choice. Your brain tells you that your stuff comes first. Stay strong!
Jude, No baby, your mom is caught up in the obsession of addiction. Imagine if you will all you can think about is something you want, something that turns off the screaming in you head! See that voice constantly telling her that she's a fake and a failure- worthless!! That's just a little part of what's going on. That voice in her head is trying to kill her. That's addiction goal!! Hang in there please go to alanon , that's for you..
Is not about u been second place is about something people hand really hold then selfs up mentally get consumed by it dugs is what makes them cope with that, well what they so "bealive" understand drugs takes over that person like its not whom they use to be because there mind set is far to gone, like this people they came back from it as that's the goal, u should never as a person think any less of ur self on other people's actions, and this can eather brake u or make u, so hopefully this makes u a stronger person and it's something u can learn on life choices 🙏❤️💯
Does anyone know if the ladies in this have social media platforms? I would love to follow them all and personally tell them thank you for being so relatable. Finding other women and mothers who have been through your same situation does WONDERS for good days in recovery
i really connected to the girl who said her addiction wasn't as bad as others so therefore she didn't need to get better, i was raised in a mexican household where things like this or mental health are things for weak people i really want to speak up about the things i have to do to just get by but i know ill get judged and its not so easy to talk to someone random cuz im only 15 and ill be seen as a junkie i just wanna feel good about myself without all these drugs i miss my mom and old life so much and the only things that really do help are pills and a lot of weed idk i should have never listened to my friends who said weed wasn't a gateway drug
With the numbers...is there an overlap? I’m confused about how the years in recovery and the years on and off addicted go together...they don’t seem to add up.
those be the best chicks, I give them some good lovin to. some girls say i am like a demon. Plus I cook them a good meal and they rub my neck and treat me like a king. Then she may even join my other wives, and they all love eachother together in my honor. It truly is glorifying. Amen to Allah
so basically what you're saying is you feel opressed because women are less likey to get addicted. everyone feels shame for any reason regardless of gender. this video is pretty pointless as 95% of things that women go through addiction seem to be the same for men
It’s probably worth talking about gender-specific addiction stigmas, for both men and women. There are certainly some social differences, and some of those may be big hurdles to a person’s recovery (man or woman).
Do you really believe there is something inherently evil about having a physical or psychological dependency? There have been so many people throughout who have struggled with addiction that have made enormous contributions to society. Besides, I'm sure you have an addiction of your own whether you admit it or not.
You may want to learn more about what addiction really is and what causes it. Gabor Maté has written interesting books about it, but his speeches are abundantly available on CZcams, too. Basically, humans aren’t fully cognitively developed until like 8 years old. (Evolutionarily speaking, this is because we have narrow hips to walk upright but also very large brains and skulls; we are born underdeveloped compared to any other species because that’s the largest head that will go through the birth canal...) This means that from 0-7, we’re absorbing our environment and experiences without any kind of protective mental filter. If we have traumatic experiences, or if we lack vital love, our brains actually develop differently. We become wired to use disassociative coping mechanisms and maybe seek highs. We function differently, take different risks. Because chances are, we may have ADD, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, ocd, etc. It’s possible to re-learn and re-program... but addiction is the ‘dark night of the soul.’ It’s extremely trying, and can be next to impossible to escape. That’s because it’s a complex, layered problem. The roots of addiction can go all the way back to infancy (pre-conscious trauma). Without the proper resources, how is someone so sick supposed to fix their life? Addicts need empathy, and healing resources. Sure, inappropriate behavior must be curbed and not written-off. But it can happen to anyone. No one is responsible for their childhood trauma. Humanity would be far better-off if we addressed and resolved the chronic illness that plagues society, rather than remain deaf and blind to the real cause and allow it to continue unchecked, claiming more and more lives indefinitely.
@@90MysteriumFascinans that is one of the best definition of childhood trauma in regards to development and crisis. Layered- so true!! Its so not 30 day detoxification and all is well. You must be willing to change. Most of all you must be willing to let go of him or her...books can be written on addicts refusals to let go of unhealthy spouses

Well done to you, ♥️
Motivational Daily Thank you.
I'm so happy for you and I hope that one day I can say the same.
“Our character is not built on the mistakes we made. Our character is built on how we got up after those mistakes and changed things and moved forward.”
I just made it to my 3rd year clean and i have never been more grateful. Life is good.
The opposite of addiction is connection. So powerful!!!

Pained about the past. Show your right, I get bogged down in my yesterdays so much so I can't live in today.
Addiction is also a habit and people forget this or more often, don't even think about this aspect. It's hard to break habits, even people who aren't addicted to substances can relate to the difficulty of breaking bad habits.
Kulani Warner it’s more than just a habit. addiction literally re wires your brain and getting sober is much more than just breaking a habit.

These women are all so inspiring. I feel like they can teach all of us something about life. Not just those who suffer from addiction
I like what she said "come to the new life, theres enough room for everybody " AMEN! 💯💯❤😊
My mother has chosen drugs over me her own child. There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t think about it. I’m just second place..
Jude Snyder 2nd better then 3rd

Thank you for these videos it’s a big help!!!♥️🙌🏻👍🏼
Thank you for this important content. The world need more of your videos

Iv been in recovery for 2.5 month
The drunK man .... SSOOOOOOO TRUE
This is heartbreaking
Mariel, I would worship this woman. she,s inspiring and beautiful.
Thank you
Amazing speakers...really relatable and powerful...nice job with the video
Wow so relatable
thank you❤️
Im really sad that you guys put so much effort into making and editing your videos and you-tube doesn't show the notification..
With the numbers...is there an overlap? I’m confused about how the years in recovery and the years on and off addicted go together...they don’t seem to add up.
The woman in the white coat, “What will I do, I’ve gotten high for so long”.. my exact thoughts !
those be the best chicks, I give them some good lovin to. some girls say i am like a demon. Plus I cook them a good meal and they rub my neck and treat me like a king. Then she may even join my other wives, and they all love eachother together in my honor. It truly is glorifying. Amen to Allah
I think not everyone who has overcome the deadly temptations must be those who have bravery and need the help of family and friends.
The entering speech.
the girl in the blue dress with tats is a very animated speaker
She's too condescending
Id never guess the lady in there blue dress was a junkie, she looks good and has very nice legs!! #Marie

Addiction is one of the ultimate equalizers. It can be anybody.
It’s probably worth talking about gender-specific addiction stigmas, for both men and women. There are certainly some social differences, and some of those may be big hurdles to a person’s recovery (man or woman).
DON'T DO HARD DRUGS! Thats how simple life is
This is ridiculous! Drug addicts are weak minded. There is a stigma because being a drug addict is bad. LMFAO 😂
@Aunty Agony I am not a child and my opinions are my own. My mother was a drug addict and she was weak too.
Do you really believe there is something inherently evil about having a physical or psychological dependency?

Addicts need empathy, and healing resources. Sure, inappropriate behavior must be curbed and not written-off.
But it can happen to anyone. No one is responsible for their childhood trauma.
