Keith lives in one of the only clean and sober housing first buildings in Seattle. He had no plan to get clean but accepted entrance into a program that required abstinence. He wasn't ready. He was living on the streets happy with using and drinking. Now, though he was on a different path, he's clean and thriving. Why aren't we doing more of this? Keith is proof that you don't have to be ready,...

OU-T is the real deal. The process gives one the power of becoming their own agent. There are so many forces working against you. Familial legacy, trauma and the patterns that develop via where God places you right out of the gate. Biological processes such as dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine. Fear But you have control of all of this. If you are bound to the confines of addiction... incarceration.... porn consumption.... lust.... or simply not doing what you want to do..... OU-T can show you how to reacquire that control. How to become your own agent. How to stop surrendering your life to the boundaries set by others. Drugs Sex Porn Anger Greed Pride OU-T will allow you to take control. “How about you just start living a life that ALLOWS you to FEEL loved BY you!” - Virginia Burton to Matt White sometime in Q4 of 2022. Then I opened the first page of OU-T and life shifted! Forever grateful Jambi! 🤟🏼
housing first can be good, but not if it is housing only - all substance abuse must be prohibited and there must be staff on-site living there checking in on tenants.
@@Jon-hx7pe i she with you 100%
I really appreciate how respectful you are and yet very honest. ❤

Retired? He got voted out! Should have asked him about helmet laws. Also what ever happened to the car he rear ended? Or was that his twin brother sheriff in the next county over? Dude is a loser, Because he lost an election.
The most honest thing I have ever seen about homelessness in Seattle.
@@gregkirkos6929 thank you for watching
There's nothing more dehumanizing that when society has zero expectations of another human. And that's what our government has done. People come from all different places in life with various life experiances and as such, it's not fair to have the same expectations for them all. However, each are capable of some type of expectation. And when they meet those basic expectations, it gives them hope and value and they realzie they can do more. There is zero hope when there's zero expectations.
I have been a mental health case manager and I have never seen an entire building that was made just for people that had addiction issues and mental health issues especially where little help for recovery was offered to them.. ----we know that being in cleaner and more taken care of environments makes people think better of themselves than being kept around the same people places and situations.. taking people off the streets that all use together and then giving them a home while keeping them all together isn't going to treat the issue which in their situations on this show is definitely their substance usage... they need help and they need division from other active users and to live in a new clean normal environment around normal working people or families or adults that aren't in active addiction and that will give them the better outcome for their recovery. the county/state,... can easily go around and seek out one or two units per apartment complex until they've got the numbers needed and get a contract drawn up for those units to be for the homeless and let them get a chance in life.. they basically have the attitude of "let's help them finish themselves off" ..that's what it looks like,.... and that's not the way it has to be.
@@wisdom_may agreed!
and yes, abortion is murder, men cant become women and democrats ruin everything, republicans suck too #nomorewar
16:36 the homeless industrial complex is a real thing, jay inslee and good ol bob manipulate and destroy, meanwhile jay runs off to the most red/free state idaho 😂😂 you cant make this shit up, "im gunna ruin an entire city then run off and go hide" my beautiful state is cooked
Study the Soviet Union. A common Communist tactic is to decriminalize and let criminals out to terrorize the public. It demoralizes regular people and creates apathy in general. This policy comes from the top down.
The exercise of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results
Crime is down? No, crime is up. Enforcement is down so people stop reporting since nothing is done with reports.
Quit spending money by doing the same thing and expecting different results. Plain and simple it's not working. And it's very sad😢😢😢
So it's obviously not working
I own the Colman Building Barbershop if you need help from me just let me know. 2025 is going to be great for everyone but the bad people. Team humanity.
I thought drug use was not allowed in public housing?
This is so awesome! Yay, Keith! I'm so proud of this guy right here. He's one of my friends and he's a beacon of hope in the Seattle recovery community.
Boom! Well done Keith. Matthew 18:12 "If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?". Thank you for this one G!
Wonderful and inspiring my friend!
That is soooo professional manifesting something amazing takes consistent and faithful work so much work and look at tbe quality it's game changing what we see our selves and ourxgenetation s need to find out about ourselves
Good work Ginny!
Something really needs to change. This is so very sad
As a resident of public housing, next to housing first residents. One thing is becoming clear. A lot of people do not have the motivation to get clean. My neighbor has been through heroin. Meth and now Fentynal. She spends her day bent over infront of our apartments. She has a son whos moved out and left her because of her substance abuse. She has her elderly mother over to.clean up every weekend. This lady is 36 and she has showed no intention of getting clean.
I have a loved one who chose the path to recovery from fetanyl. When he was in the grips of active addiction it was hell on earth. Every day, I prayed that he would live another day.. I was living in fear of the call from the ER notifying his next of kin. But my saddest thought was him dying another unidentified victim of this drug. When he finally made this decision, it was all hands on deck. Our family mobilized to access resources for him. He did a detox and inpatient recovery program. While he was going through that, we were coordinating an oxford house, and assisting him with finding access to intensive outpatient care including both pharmaceutical and behavioral therapies. He had untreated ADHD and bipolar disorder, so we supported him in navigating Healthcare coverage. When he got out of the inpatient program he had a new home, new people (NA, Oxford house roommates, and family that had gone through Nar-Annon, and new things: clothes, furnishings/ bedding etc. He practiced mindfulness, prayer, meditation, yoga, exercise, clean eating, and learned to accept his traumatic past and build resilience. He needed a BIG safety net of family and friends who refuse to give up. Still to this day, I live with joy and hope as he has graduated drug court, joined a union, reunited with his children, and living independently. I still call at least weekly. He's so busy living a life of responsibility, he can't always answer, but he always calls back. We still share tears of gratitude for the journey we've made it through. There is so much I cannot share in this brief comment. Yes, the answer has been so complex. He needed top down therapy and bottom up care, he worked through things from the inside-out, we worked on the outsie-in. 100% worth the fight.
Very sad but the brutal reality. Thank you for shining a light.
These government agency's need to here these things people need to step up and talk to state representatives or congressman, or some type of rally at the state capital it's time to make a ruckus for Chang because harm reduction is not the answer.
Sad that the government or state agency's fund this type of housing
Sad just really sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢
This. Right here. On the tails of the insanity of "safe supply" and "housing first", Ginny brings us a sane outlook. For many years I worked with abstinence-based CD clinicians in Oregon. Lots of clients in the criminal justice system, etc. This is empathetic, this is compassionate, this is no-BS and no excuses - this brings the potential for recovery.
I wish more would come out and speak truth and not feelings… We are allowing humans to rot in the streets and call it compassion!!!
We NEED SO MANY MORE of people like both of you! Thank you! Insightful & powerful!
AWESOME INTERVIEW !!!
It’s because they’re afraid of what an addict will do when they’re in desperation like if I don’t get this I’m gonna do this
My ex gf now dead, intentionally got herself addicted to pain pills because her nurse friends in Kentucky said it was fun. What bs. She turned into a junkie. Back in 2006 she was bringing home these patches from the hospital that apparently were fentanyl. And then she put them in their mouth and suck on them. I couldn’t believe it. This is like the kind of crap that they give to end of life cancer patients and she’s taking this stuff.
You gotta be clean!
Love this Needed this.. Ty❤
Ginny, this is a great inspiration to so many people. You are a champion my dear! Keep up the great work, you are a force to be reckoned with. I'll be cheering you on from Moscow,Idaho. 😊❤
You are... altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me! Love you. I'm grateful! Prayers to you and your crew! 🤟🏼
😂 fkcn this foo a pinche webon
These two women are super heroes! They're getting through the bullshit to the nitty gritty.
What’s the point of this video?
Wow what a dump
I love the addicts who thank they are above working and just want a housing voucher and a check. ❤ this country. Why work hard for anything when the government will just hand it to you for free.
Best counsellor I ever had wasnt an ex self medicator drug and alcohol worker. I had complete trust in this gay nurse for over 10 years intermmitently, but not much trust in the drs or staff holding the sole underlying religious goal they have in their individual stories of proudly being clean and sober. Its as though theres a right to critisize clients in vulnerable positions as a right of being a clean and sober person. Fuck that shit (personally i add). I am healthy and record free with no money owed or stolen in my life so I guess I did OK in 45 years of IV opiates (8 clean stretch in there so yeah I know NA and all that) I get that if you have the goal of cessation that they share as the only option. being off your meds by wise choice due to it costing more than money and affecting others . Ive had far more trauma inflicted on my life by peoplpe who thought they knew me based on the way they think, and no clue who i am.
What he’s saying is true for 80-90% of the staff….They are squares and unable to look at the world thru the eyes of a homeless drug addict… In my experience a lot of the people I worked with tried to understand, but were unable to do more than repeat verbatim housing first, harm reduction “best practice” propaganda!!
Why do this? Who does this help & how? Theres NOTHING ethically wrong with using drugs. The War on Drugs & the Drugs being illegal is the problem. Why shouldn’t people go to a Heroin clinic? Or a Meth Clinic? Or make & use the drugs they want at home? Why shouldn’t that be the goal? Not everyone has a chronic relationship with the drugs they prefer. The US drug laws (illegal) are what drives drug addiction & disease. If people could get drugs without fear of arrest, getting cut drugs, using dirty needles or getting robbed wouldn’t that be better? Humans are not designed to be sober all their lives. Its fun getting high, otherwise people wouldn’t do it.
Let us know how that works out for you. You must be better at using drugs than me. I used drugs daily for over 20 years. Ruined my life. When I got clean in 2018, my life got drastically better. Imagine that. Good luck to you bro!
@ what ruined your life is what you were born into..a fucking drug empire run by criminals! Im not supporting that as any literate human knows. Your addiction was driven by the current drug regime…the War on Drugs is largely why you had addiction issues.
She is phenomenally driven to change lives.
Excellent meeting ❤
If you are clean you can earn take homes
Earn like a trained seal lol
We get take homes now and we are not clean
That's great to hear! Finally there's a sane program without the bullshit punishments. Self medicating adults deserve respect and love rather than the morally blinkered critism of others. ❤
