As someone in long term recovery I just wanted to say that whole chasing the dragon thing isn’t really correct. It quickly stops being an urge to get high and becomes an urge to not be sick. And to remain numb from what you have to do to not be sick. That’s why I can not urge people enough to NOT START. No one takes that first pill wanting to be a junkie, you just turn around one day and realize you are. But take it from me. I was a real addicts addict. I’d addict a ham sandwich is given the opportunity. I sold my soul, and then sold souls I lied about having multiple times. For years I put myself and my loved ones throu hell. I lost everything. But one day I just got really f*ckin tired of being sick and tired and I went into rehab ( for like the 8th time) really wanting to be sober. And it was a lot of work. But here I am. 7 years later with a home, a husband, three beautiful girls. This passed week I had to go with the rest of the PTA board and was put on our business account?!?! Me! I’m still thinking about how crazy that is! We do recover!
I wanted to say that very same thing. It’s all I can do to function everyday anymore and that is by using every damn hour…I don’t want to die but I feel like maybe that’s the only end to this nightmare
100% we do! I’ve been clean since Jan 2010. I too lost everything…job, my owned townhome, credit, any possession of value…stole from family, shoplifted, etc. just grateful I’m alive and out of that vicious cycle ❤
@@kassiaalberts4599keep trying hunny 🙏🙏, I been there, now I'm on the other side..... I'll pray for you Sugar, just keep trying whatever you need to, to LIVE 💜
I could remember several years ago fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, fentanyl,alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
I'm really happy for you that your husband decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
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.

Victoria became one of my first best friends whenever I moved to Watson/Denham Springs. I met her in elementary school at Live Oak and we continued staying best friends until the very end. A couple of months before she passed I allowed her to stay a week at my house so I knew she would be safe and away from all the drugs. One morning I woke up and she was gone and I never heard from her again until I got a phone call about her passing. She wanted so bad to be clean and sober not just for herself but for her son and for her family. I will say she fought very hard but the addiction was stronger. I love and miss Victoria so much and will forever cherish my times I got to have with her. I lost two of my childhood best friends in 2022 two months apart from each other from overdosing on fentanyl and it kills me bc now I don’t have my best friends anymore. Only thing that makes me happy is knowing they’re struggle is over with and that they’re both at peace and happy! I love y’all so much Meagan and Victoria! I will forever keep both of y’all’s memory alive and y’all both will forever stay in my heart until I get to see y’all again in heaven and what a joyous day that will be!! My two guardian angels 🩷💜😇😇
This family did everything right. I have been clean and sober for 33 years now. If you keep enabling the addict they will never get help. You have to let them go and hope that they get in enough pain to want help. Bless your family. I am glad you have her son and he is loved and happy.
I remember Victoria as a young girl. Her & her younger brother used to come shop in the store I managed. Her baby brother wanted to be a cowboy & I managed a western store, so they were there often. I’m so sad to hear of her passing! She was such a sweet & beautiful girl. The entire family were just incredible people. Just goes to show you, addiction doesn’t care who you are, what your background is, your gender, race, economic status…..it doesn’t care if you come from a wonderful family. My heart goes out to this family. This hits so close to home on so many levels. Not just having known Victoria as a small child, but because I too have an adult daughter who has been in active addiction for over 10 years now. I know exactly what the mother meant when she said seeing her child’s name on the jail roster gave her peace. I too have been that parent. I keep preparing myself for the call this family got & I pray it never comes. My heart is with you all.
I'm so very sorry you lost your daughter. Addiction is a family disease. It's horrific to go through. My son is a meth/heroin addict. He went to treatment and started using as soon as he was home. A year went by. He went to jail for 3 months and has never used again. That was almost 3 yrs ago. I know how lucky he is that he is able to stay clean. It's hard work. I feel blessed to still have him.
wow that's very commendable that your son is able to stay clean. He must be working so hard. i wish him all the best in the world. He is lucky to have you for a mom. It's very important to have supporting parents which many people don't have.
I’ve been sober for 13 years. Started using my moms Dilaudid’s after she passed away to numb the sadness of her dying. That moved to getting anything I could to feed my body to prevent sickness. It got to me buying 100 mg Fentanyl patches, cutting them up and sucking on the pieces. Harm reduction saved my life. The addiction counseller cried upon my intake and told me, if you don’t stop, you’re 15 mth old will be an orphan 😢. The only thing that got me to stop is CAS threatening to take my kid….I was literally at the courthouse and they were planning on taking him and placing him with family. I somehow got the Caseworker to give me one last chance and I finally took my sobriety seriously. Opioids are the devil’s drug 👹 Harm reduction saves lives. I’ve been clean since Jan 2010, my son is now 15 ❤
Congrats on your sobriety ❤. I am so happy you are sober and was able to raise your baby. That's a success story ❤. I know the struggle been sober for 10 years. Prayers and love 🙏 ❤.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss...I literally cried when you said, she said she was broken....😢 Addiction DOES NOT care who you are... May your family find peace. Thank you for sharing Victoria's story...🙏❤️🌹
I’m so sorry for the loss of this beautiful woman. Even those that survive don’t always come out on the good side. I’m a nurse in a nursing home and I’ve seen patients admitted because they survived an overdose, but the resulting brain damage left them permanently disabled and sometimes vegetative. It’s heartbreaking.
Same thing I just lost my 34 year old daughter yesterday from overdose she left behind a one year old son she was found in a chair at the Hilton garden hotel I'm so heartbroken I talked to her in June and wished her happy birthday and she sounded like she was getting everything staightned out I had no clue she started using again 😢😢
I am so sorry for your loss regarding your beautiful daughter. Thank goodness she is with God now. Safe and sound. My daughter is almost 30 and we were lucky she chose the right path. No heavy drugs and no pregnancies. I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way. ❤😢.
Everything Victoria's mama is saying resonates SO SO deeply with me . I didn't have a supporting family during my addiction; I was left to raise my kids alone , to help myself, my family just couldn't cope . after the worst 6 years of my entire life I just did it, after meeting the most amazing and supportive (non drug using man) who never forced me ,but waited until I was ready. I went on the buvidal (subutex) shot in September 2021 and have been clean ever since. We do recover. Sending thoughts and prayers to Victoria's family, In particular her Mama (who looks SO like her😮) and who did everything right , absolutely EVERYTHING Her son ,her daddy and her amazing sister too . You all did everything right, I hope that you are reading this ❤❤
FunnyMemo, I know your post is from 11 months ago, but I just came across it today. I am so sorry you lost your daughter. It's such a terrible thing. Take care.
My son had a hip replacement at 14 and they would not give pain medication just ibuprofen.. I didn’t argue with them and when I look back I’m glad they didn’t..
It's a painful time , when a parent loses a loving daughter at any time , may God help the family with the passing of their little angel may " VICTORIA " REST IN PEACE with our Lord JESUS CHRIST in HEAVEN 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She had good parents who did the right thing. I know we only get a piece of her story in a 12 min video. It doesn't look like she was enabled by family members. I can't even imagine how hard this must be 🖤
@heezypeasy8611 We worked so hard at loving her from afar, and being there to get her to and from treatment. Having to turn her away when she was using was the hardest thing a mother will ever go through. Praying “Victoria’s Story” saves lives so other families do not have to experience this horrifying disease and loss.
@@marilynmcculley1284I totally understand this….loving her from afar. We’ve had to tell our daughter that we’d only support her from jail or rehab. Otherwise, we can’t allow her to further manipulate us. We’ve had to guard our hearts as well as protect our other children. Tough love is so hard! We worry every day about receiving the call your family did. My heart aches for your family.
It’s coming upon the 1st year of her passing, I cant express my heartfelt condolences to this sweet family enough. To you mama, you did EVERYTHING YOU COULD DO. I promise. God bless you. I’m so very sorry.
I didn't go to Rehab for Meth just stopped, did it for 10 years on Weekends only. When it came to Opiods, I don't think I was addicted, I suffer Chronic Pain due to Abuse & Trauma. I've not taken Pain Medication since June of 2020. I'm sorry for your loses, it hurt.
I just overdosed on Fentanyl two weeks ago. I was gone. This stuff is so strong. It's a crazy thing, razors edge between getting high, and death. Couple small hits, you lay back, relax, fall asleep and never wake up. I've been in and out of recovery for 12 years, never seen it this bad...we're losing an entire generation behind this stuff.
@@roguemaximmus3419 it doesn't work like that. You'll just be high as hell still craving a pill. And it definitely won't do a thing for withdrawals symptoms.
@roguemaximmus3419 It wouldn't work,alcohol and weed feel different than opiods. I'm on prescribed medication for organ failure/chronic illnesses and was also prescribed Marijuana (which I unfortunately can't use as it made me vomit more and have a mental break because underlying mental health issues doctors knew of but felt it wouldn't mess with). The feeling from all 3 are vastly different and the 2 doesn't give the rush of dopamine/euphoria that you get from high doses. I work with my pain management and specialists and I stop taking my pain medications off and on as I'm terrified of becoming addicted. The pain is unbearable from my health problems, pain that makes you want to end it. But knowing that risk of becoming addicted especially with having relatives that are alcoholics,and one of my older siblings abuses drugs is enough for me to know suffering for awhile is better than becoming so hooked and dependent that I'd have to buy who knows what off the street.
Mom don’t blame yourself u did right by keeping her in jail PRISON SAVED MY LIFE 16 years ago only because my grandmother/mom did the same SHOWED ME TOUGH LOVE I HAVE NOW BEEN CLEAN for years❤️ I hate your sweet girl never got a chance to experience life without the dragon😢 I PRAY YOU FIND comfort and peace❤
My little brother was 31 years old March 12 died of a fentanyl overdose 12 days before that are dad lost his battle with cancer now I'm sad at the house without them
My heart aches for this family, I would love to see siblings play a bigger part in these documentaries because a mom, dad, brother, sister, aunt, ECT reaction, there all so different but all so very important, it's not just the user's issue, it's the whole family's issue...I'm nine years sober and Amen Jesus but I wanted to say the part of "getting sober" that held me down the longest was the thoughts of what I did to not only me and my life but to everyone around me, everyone I wish would have said hey, what's up, are you ok, it hurts me to see how supportive alot of these family's were and now must spend the rest of there life wondering if they could have done more, my response is, you can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink...you did what you could and then God stepped in because he couldn't watch the user suffer anymore either. 😢
Thank you. I firmly believe in my heart that God indeed chose to give her peace and free her from that demon. You are so right, it affects the entire family. We appreciate your support and kind words. Prayers for your continued sobriety 🙏🏻
What a wonderful mother! Wish there were more strong mother'slike you on this earth 🌎! God bless you and may he keep you and your family is my 🙏. Also; My deepest condolences to & your family.
This makes me sick, my only child’s father died of a fentanyl overdose at 32 (2022). I now feel the need to tell her how he really passed because it can be the same thing that takes her life. It’s a sick world we live in where even legal drugs can be laced with this bs!
We were very transparent with her son from the age of 8. I met with a counselor for assistance because it was so important to me that he was aware for his own understanding. Education is so important. Prayers for your son, who now goes on without his father 😓
Tough love is just a way to hide narcissism. It's always these families that lose children to drugs. In families that are open about it, and let them do it at home, they never progress from marijuana and some beers.
so, so sorry for your loss...addiction is a vicious, horrible disease...it's especially hard to deal with, when the genesis of the addiction was caused by legitemite surgery...God bless...
Her addiction was not caused by the surgery. The pieces were in place and there is an overwhelming probability that the she would have become active in her disease within the year anyway.
I feel your pain. My son is an addict and started with marijuana then drinking and pills and heroin at 18. He most recently was using fentanyl he has been clean again now for nearly a month. This is the hardest thing a parent can ever go through. It is so so destructive to all family members and you feel totally helpless. Im so sorry your daughter is gone. I can not even imagine what you are feeling. I pray that everyone becomes aware of the dangers of all drugs and alcohol and to all the families that go through this. ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
As an addict, I can say that JAIL is the worse place for someone in the throws of addiction to be. It's just a learning environment! You learn about new things out there, new ways to scam a buck, new ways to trick the system. We as a country need to learn that rehabilitation WORKS when those who receive it are READY! It's way to hard for those without insurance or means to pay, to get help. Truly sad. That's why there's always gonna be a market for great films like this. Praying for your family. Can't hurt ❤
Prison is a bad place for addicts. However the amount of people who go to rehab and then start the drugs again is honestly crazy. Knew a friend. Paid thousands on medical bills, rehab, counselling for his uncle. Checked out of rehab 2 days later, asked to lend money, back on the drugs. Honestly its a hard situation.
Very sad story; prayers to the family. I looked up her story and oddly not mentioned it looks like her significant other passed away 3 months prior; I am sure that did not help her spiraling more out of control on her road to sobriety. Grief and heart break is a trigger for some and it looks like she was grieving for sure.
So sorry for the loss of your daughter 💔🙏 I loss my son to fentanyl 11-15-2023, I spent 20 years trying to save my son. It all started with oxycontin, a doctor prescribing him 120 pills a month, then roxys,he couldn't get the pulls anymore and turned to meth. I made him leave after finding needles in my house, I have grandchildren. 2 weeks later they found him in the median. I will prayer for y'all, it's a deep gut wretching pain that no family should ever have to go through.
Debi, I am so sorry you lost your son. What a terrible thing to have happen. I wish the government would get really serious about fighting this epidemic. I know your life will never be the same again. You're in my prayers.
Jails need to have a discharge plan in place for opiate addicts upon release because they get out and end up using then overdosing. Jails also will not continuel maintenance medications for those already on them prior to incarceration making them high risk for overdosing. It is the government's and legal system's problem because it was introduced to many by the pharmaceutical companies. It only takes one week to start an addiction to opiates.
@@brettcordes3602 Where did Misty ever mention it being the jail and/or prison’s responsibility? Literally nobody has mentioned that because obviously we all know it isn’t. However would a discharge plan & accommodations work, specifically for those who are interested..? Absolutely, 100% a fkn YES 👏🏻. Unfortunately the vast majority of inmates are treated like complete sh!t all around the United States, regardless of their bad decision that put them there. Genuinely I’d suggest giving inmates a little more credit considering SO many of them are actually hardworking, compassionate & committed individuals, who are determined to do anything to change their lives. Yes it’s true that not all inmates should be treated equally, but you’d be surprised how difficult their conditions are.
Mother to mother I'm so sorry. I have been sober since December 11th 2013 I was on heroin for 2 years before that and I pray that my children remember everything that I went through before I signed the guardianship over and went to prison for a whole year. I try and remind them now and their teenage years the things I have seen and I'm always make them watch these stories especially since they're into the Snapchat.. prayers
Man…I can’t kick this addiction. I know my fate is sealed but I’ve been to prison because of my addiction…I’ve tried all kinds of rehabs..nobody in my family uses so they don’t understand. Right now I’m barely even able to function normally..I can’t function without it as of now..the only thing it hasn’t taken YET is my life. The worst part is my family I’m super close to thinks I’m clean and all that..breaks my heart..I was in a bad car accident and they kept prescribing me crazy strong pain meds until I was physically sick without them. I didn’t even understand what my body was going through. Essentially they doomed me. I might as well just passed away with my best friend in our accident.
@kassiaalberts4599 With God, all things are possible! Keep focused on getting well. Find a program and go in with an open heart and open mind. The “sick without it” is temporary, but living life again is completely ahead of you. You can recover! I will be praying for you daily 🙏🏻
@@shawnmayer7849 A little bit of empathy and nonjudgement goes a long way. You're lucky none of your choices killed you. I'm sure not every one of them was right but you still got to live. Why must you hurt people who are already in so much pain?
I felt this mothers pain, as a mother of 2 addict sons. Both mine are in recovery, my youngest is 24 and has been sober for 2 years, and my oldest is 28 and has been sober for 1 year. I dont wish this on any parent. We've looked for my sons body on the side of the road for 2 days, hes been stabbed multiple times, totaled 4 cars, the list goes on, and I believe every parent has went through this. The struggle for an addict to become clean is soo hard, they have the addiction their fighting everyday, along with the mental health issues, the remorse they put them selves thru and there loved ones. I feel for this momma! Your daughter sounded like a beautiful soul, and she is not in pain anymore.
This is a sad situation around this country and i hope my kids never have to face any kind of addiction or engage in illicit drug use. I do just wonder why there's so much empathy in this fentanyl, and before that heroin, situation but there was NONE during the crisis in the 80s with crack? Does anyone have an answer for that? Im just curious.
Continue to stay far away from all those things. If you never start using any of them, you won’t have to figure out how to quit. Those things will only destroy your life. Life is much better when you’re sober. I pray Jesus will keep you safe, and away from all those things. Blessings to you.❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry yall lost Victoria. I lost my daughter. This drug is the most horrific nightmare for our family's then to loose our children to it. It's not right. I hope it was ok I forwarded this to a few sites I'm on about us loosing our children family members etc on Facebook. I pray that maybe Victoria's story will save a soul and a family or many. You all are so brave to do this to show your story and for me to know I'm not alone in this pain I can't even describe. I miss my daughter every second of everyday a part of me died that day too she's the mist amazing living young lady and I am so lucky she chose me to be her ma. I stood by her everyday and I was the one who found my precious child the horriable day the day my whole world stopped totally. I can't sleep I see how I found her and to add to it her bf placed her body on her bed staged the whole scene in how I would find her placing fentayl all around her in bags took all her jewerly her diaries write on her wall. We know he was part of her death no one will listen she seamed just anouther fenny od that's it's. All the evidence everything we told the police after this horrific day totally ignored. I mean totally. No one cares and he's free . I wish I could bring back all our children . My heart aches for your family and again I'm so so sorry. Fr26 Kenzie Brown ma God bless you and thank you for this I'm so sorry for all you are going through. Just remember she didn't want this and she's with you all the time and so lives you all. God bless your family
Always so so sad. 17 months sober from opiates today thank God🙏🏻❤️RIP to those that weren’t able to recover and beat their demons/addiction in time before it was too late tragically.
I feel their pain her story is very similar to my daughter who fought addiction and lost that battle on Jan 23. The pain it leaves the loved ones with is unimaginable. The mom saying jail brought us peace sounded like me. I would pray she would get arrested so I knew she was alive and not using or being abused. I tried everything to get my daughter help but system doesn't help much. My last attempt was to charge her with stealing my car in September after my mother passed away. The DA said she could only get drug court if she committed a felony. She never made it to that court date because her addict boyfriend bonded her out. Even when she was ready for help willing to go it never worked because every place had no available beds. This needs to stop. An addict won't sit around for weeks with no help waiting on a bed.
May she RIP my prayers to you and your family. My husband overdosed. He was clean for 13 years. I miss him so much. It only takes 1 time it's horrific. Addiction effects everyone. I'm sober almost 2 years thank God. God Bless you all ❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss. Congratulations on your sobriety. You wrote this 11 months ago so it will soon be three years if things stayed good. I wish you the best.
I already saw 1000 parallels with your sweet daughter and myself. Then you said she was eating her cereal and it broke me. Its me. Shes me and im her. Im so sorry mamma. She deserved the world. Im so grateful every single day for my sobriety.
I have multiple family members in addiction to opiates, including my bio mom, and I don’t know about anyone else but eventually I got to a point where I got hardened to most of the world around me. It used to hurt me to see my bio mother or a cousin on the street high or dope sick, but now I just keep on walking. It makes me sad for these people because their whole family got blown up and for what? A drug? Like you love that person so much, and even that can’t help them.
How is that that doctors are still prescribing opioids to teenagers, I don't understand that. Well, that is very strange for me since I am from a different country.
I’m so thankful I’ve been able to remain clean from opioids since 2016. The way I was living back then + how bad Fentanyl is now… I’d absolutely have been dead. Such a heartbreaking reality ❤
Its so difficult seeing someone in the grip of addiction especially females as they are risk of exploitation.if you see an homless addict in the street dont walk the other way just a conversation can make all the difference.addiction is a disease nobody chooses class A addiction im very sorry for your loss may she be at peace now 😢😢
Im so sorry for your loss. Im in recovery and have to take methadone every day and probably will for the rest of my life. I also know ive literally swapped onw addiction (the heroin/morphine/oxycontin) to methadone. But it stops me being in withdrawals. I totally understand what victoria meant when she said she was scared of living because i feel like that too, even my methadone acts as a bandage to the way i really feel about myself. You are a wonderful family and i wish you all the love and prayers ❤
I wish I had someone like her mom to just be there it terrifies me to re-live my past the pain is unreal and unbearable I don't want to relive it scares me to death where I am there is BARELY help for people its so wrong people like me want off meds yet no one there to actually be there help when u don't no where to start or where to turn
My sister is 8 years clean and I can’t be more prouder of her. Thank God her sobriety came just before fentanyl was a thing or I am sure she would not have been here any longer. I lots another sister 28 years ago to an overdose and even that didn’t scare my sober sister from using herself. Addictive drug disorder is a family trait passed down generations to generations. If you have any addictive disorder please get help it’s not a moral or willpower failure it’s a disease a treatable disease
I have had an opiate addiction for 10 years . I never sought any type of high because I was given after a very bad appendix infection. At this point I’m only taking them to feel normal . My tolerance is so high . I absolutely believe I have taken fentanyl
As someone in long term recovery I just wanted to say that whole chasing the dragon thing isn’t really correct. It quickly stops being an urge to get high and becomes an urge to not be sick. And to remain numb from what you have to do to not be sick. That’s why I can not urge people enough to NOT START. No one takes that first pill wanting to be a junkie, you just turn around one day and realize you are. But take it from me. I was a real addicts addict. I’d addict a ham sandwich is given the opportunity. I sold my soul, and then sold souls I lied about having multiple times. For years I put myself and my loved ones throu hell. I lost everything. But one day I just got really f*ckin tired of being sick and tired and I went into rehab ( for like the 8th time) really wanting to be sober. And it was a lot of work. But here I am. 7 years later with a home, a husband, three beautiful girls. This passed week I had to go with the rest of the PTA board and was put on our business account?!?! Me! I’m still thinking about how crazy that is! We do recover!
I wanted to say that very same thing. It’s all I can do to function everyday anymore and that is by using every damn hour…I don’t want to die but I feel like maybe that’s the only end to this nightmare
100% we do! I’ve been clean since Jan 2010. I too lost everything…job, my owned townhome, credit, any possession of value…stole from family, shoplifted, etc. just grateful I’m alive and out of that vicious cycle ❤
God bless you!! Keep up the great work. I’m so so proud for you and your family 😌
@@kassiaalberts4599keep trying hunny 🙏🙏, I been there, now I'm on the other side..... I'll pray for you Sugar, just keep trying whatever you need to, to LIVE 💜
Amen!! We do recover. One day at a time, one minute at a time sometimes one second at a time but we do!
I could remember several years ago fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, fentanyl,alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
I'm really happy for you that your husband decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
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.

Victoria became one of my first best friends whenever I moved to Watson/Denham Springs. I met her in elementary school at Live Oak and we continued staying best friends until the very end. A couple of months before she passed I allowed her to stay a week at my house so I knew she would be safe and away from all the drugs. One morning I woke up and she was gone and I never heard from her again until I got a phone call about her passing. She wanted so bad to be clean and sober not just for herself but for her son and for her family. I will say she fought very hard but the addiction was stronger. I love and miss Victoria so much and will forever cherish my times I got to have with her. I lost two of my childhood best friends in 2022 two months apart from each other from overdosing on fentanyl and it kills me bc now I don’t have my best friends anymore. Only thing that makes me happy is knowing they’re struggle is over with and that they’re both at peace and happy!
I love y’all so much Meagan and Victoria! I will forever keep both of y’all’s memory alive and y’all both will forever stay in my heart until I get to see y’all again in heaven and what a joyous day that will be!! My two guardian angels 🩷💜😇😇
This family did everything right. I have been clean and sober for 33 years now. If you keep enabling the addict they will never get help. You have to let them go and hope that they get in enough pain to want help. Bless your family. I am glad you have her son and he is loved and happy.
I remember Victoria as a young girl. Her & her younger brother used to come shop in the store I managed. Her baby brother wanted to be a cowboy & I managed a western store, so they were there often. I’m so sad to hear of her passing! She was such a sweet & beautiful girl. The entire family were just incredible people. Just goes to show you, addiction doesn’t care who you are, what your background is, your gender, race, economic status…..it doesn’t care if you come from a wonderful family. My heart goes out to this family. This hits so close to home on so many levels. Not just having known Victoria as a small child, but because I too have an adult daughter who has been in active addiction for over 10 years now. I know exactly what the mother meant when she said seeing her child’s name on the jail roster gave her peace. I too have been that parent. I keep preparing myself for the call this family got & I pray it never comes. My heart is with you all.

I'm so very sorry you lost your daughter. Addiction is a family disease. It's horrific to go through.
My son is a meth/heroin addict. He went to treatment and started using as soon as he was home. A year went by. He went to jail for 3 months and has never used again. That was almost 3 yrs ago. I know how lucky he is that he is able to stay clean. It's hard work. I feel blessed to still have him.
wow that's very commendable that your son is able to stay clean. He must be working so hard. i wish him all the best in the world. He is lucky to have you for a mom. It's very important to have supporting parents which many people don't have.
@bdlimea7018 Prayers for your son’s continued recovery! With God all things are possible 🙏🏻
It is ABSOLUTELY NOT a DISEASE, you LIAR!!! It’s 100% a WRONG CHOICE!!!
I’ve been sober for 13 years. Started using my moms Dilaudid’s after she passed away to numb the sadness of her dying. That moved to getting anything I could to feed my body to prevent sickness. It got to me buying 100 mg Fentanyl patches, cutting them up and sucking on the pieces. Harm reduction saved my life. The addiction counseller cried upon my intake and told me, if you don’t stop, you’re 15 mth old will be an orphan 😢. The only thing that got me to stop is CAS threatening to take my kid….I was literally at the courthouse and they were planning on taking him and placing him with family. I somehow got the Caseworker to give me one last chance and I finally took my sobriety seriously. Opioids are the devil’s drug 👹 Harm reduction saves lives. I’ve been clean since Jan 2010, my son is now 15 ❤
Congrats on your sobriety ❤. I am so happy you are sober and was able to raise your baby. That's a success story ❤. I know the struggle been sober for 10 years. Prayers and love 🙏 ❤.
God Bless You!!
❤️🙏
I’m so very happy you are sober…may God Bless you forever!❤
I am so happy for your sobriety
I'm so, so sorry for your loss...I literally cried when you said, she said she was broken....😢
Addiction DOES NOT care who you are...
May your family find peace. Thank you for sharing Victoria's story...🙏❤️🌹
SO SAD, FAMILY GOD BLESS YOU ALL& HER POOR SON
A 100 years ago young people died of consumption, nowadays it is because of drugs. Doctors should stop giving strong painkillers.
Addiction is a cry from the inside out of a lack of aliveness.
I’m so sorry for the loss of this beautiful woman. Even those that survive don’t always come out on the good side. I’m a nurse in a nursing home and I’ve seen patients admitted because they survived an overdose, but the resulting brain damage left them permanently disabled and sometimes vegetative. It’s heartbreaking.
There are NO positives. It’s so sad.
😐
Thank you for sharing that.
I didn't know this. Thank you for sharing.
I really feel for people that are hooked on pain killers because in need to heal they end up tortured
Same thing I just lost my 34 year old daughter yesterday from overdose she left behind a one year old son she was found in a chair at the Hilton garden hotel I'm so heartbroken I talked to her in June and wished her happy birthday and she sounded like she was getting everything staightned out I had no clue she started using again 😢😢
I'm so sorry
@julielemker2131 thank you
My deepest condolences to you, Mama! Praying for your peace and comfort
Моей дочери 24 года.Сейчас она в тюрьме. Думаю это спасло ей жизнь. Я Вас обнимаю и малыша❤❤❤🇳🇱
I am so sorry for your loss regarding your beautiful daughter. Thank goodness she is with God now. Safe and sound.
My daughter is almost 30 and we were lucky she chose the right path. No heavy drugs and no pregnancies.
I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way. ❤😢.
I know your pain all to well..William 12/27/88 - 6/3/20..my heart is broken watching the Demon unfold and destroy families..Forever loved my child...
By not bailing her out you did a great job be proud of yourself mom tough love is the hardest I'm so proud of you much love from Canada xo
You are actually a POS. There are many ways of dealing with this, but most parents are just strict narcissists.
$x $$$
@caroldawes6384 Thank you in Canada. That means a lot! The journey of addiction is so painful for all.
Everything Victoria's mama is saying resonates SO SO deeply with me . I didn't have a supporting family during my addiction; I was left to raise my kids alone , to help myself, my family just couldn't cope . after the worst 6 years of my entire life I just did it, after meeting the most amazing and supportive (non drug using man) who never forced me ,but waited until I was ready. I went on the buvidal (subutex) shot in September 2021 and have been clean ever since.
We do recover.
Sending thoughts and prayers to Victoria's family,
In particular her Mama (who looks SO like her😮) and who did everything right , absolutely EVERYTHING
Her son ,her daddy and her amazing sister too .
You all did everything right,
I hope that you are reading this ❤❤
Every fentanyl seller must get the same sentence
as any other poison murderer.
Except the people who buy from that seller choose to buy it.
@@Animals_And_Nature_Lovers Yes. Because they were addicted. They had no choice. This is the capital of those poison sellers.
You and Texas Documentary is doing a great job bringing light to this problem!
I lost my 23 year old granddaughter to fentanyl. It is so senseless. It is so sad to lose a young person to drugs.
FunnyMemo, I know your post is from 11 months ago, but I just came across it today. I am so sorry you lost your daughter. It's such a terrible thing. Take care.
My son had a hip replacement at 14 and they would not give pain medication just ibuprofen.. I didn’t argue with them and when I look back I’m glad they didn’t..
It's a painful time , when a parent loses a loving daughter at any time , may God help the family with the passing of their little angel may " VICTORIA " REST IN PEACE with our Lord JESUS CHRIST in HEAVEN 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences for your loss of this beautiful daughter and vibrant member of your family.
She had good parents who did the right thing. I know we only get a piece of her story in a 12 min video. It doesn't look like she was enabled by family members. I can't even imagine how hard this must be 🖤
@heezypeasy8611 We worked so hard at loving her from afar, and being there to get her to and from treatment. Having to turn her away when she was using was the hardest thing a mother will ever go through. Praying “Victoria’s Story” saves lives so other families do not have to experience this horrifying disease and loss.
Fentanyl is bad and so addictive; which like all drugs; one is too many and a thousand never enough.
@@marilynmcculley1284I totally understand this….loving her from afar. We’ve had to tell our daughter that we’d only support her from jail or rehab. Otherwise, we can’t allow her to further manipulate us. We’ve had to guard our hearts as well as protect our other children. Tough love is so hard! We worry every day about receiving the call your family did. My heart aches for your family.
OMG! I’ve been through a child being addictions to drugs. It’s so had to do the right thing. You did that. It heartbreaking.
My daughter who was a chemist with an Ivy League degree has left everything.15 years now.
How sad.
My condolences to your family. As a mother who list a son Myself I understand your pain. Thank you for sharing your story to promote awareness.
Praying for your pain! My condolences to you and your family also.
Sandra, I am so sorry for your loss. Very sad.
It’s coming upon the 1st year of her passing, I cant express my heartfelt condolences to this sweet family enough. To you mama, you did EVERYTHING YOU COULD DO. I promise. God bless you. I’m so very sorry.
The anniversary approaching is becoming a struggle. Thank you for the kind words. Your prayers are appreciated more than you know!
I'm so sorry for your loss and I lost my son 14yrs ago last week and Drs just give a script and I need to say no more.
Oh my sweet lady, I feel your pain. I have been where you are. I am so sorry.😢
I'm so sorry 💔🙏🏼💔
🙏 R.I.P. VICTORIA 🙏
You gave your family the strength to tell your story and through this lives will be saved around the 🌎 world
So sad my sister is going through the same thing . But with cocaine .
I’m so sorry. Prayers for your sister and your family.
They lace cocaine with fentanyl, unfortunately.
Its a worldwide epidemic. Life is short, as it is. Sad to see, so many young people perish from drugs Blessings and prayers to the family.
Да, уже наркотики добрались до моей дочери, поэтому я смотрю видео Америки😢 Это проделки дьявола, руками человека.
Drugs are so easy to get. I can kill so many people an day. It’s scary.
So sorry for your loss. ❤. Thank you for being brave enough to tell your story so that others can learn.
I didn't go to Rehab for Meth just stopped, did it for 10 years on Weekends only. When it came to Opiods, I don't think I was addicted, I suffer Chronic Pain due to Abuse & Trauma. I've not taken Pain Medication since June of 2020. I'm sorry for your loses, it hurt.
Consider yourself lucky because you weren’t an addict.
I did Meth every weekend for 6 years, Rehab is just trading one crutch for another.
I just overdosed on Fentanyl two weeks ago. I was gone. This stuff is so strong. It's a crazy thing, razors edge between getting high, and death. Couple small hits, you lay back, relax, fall asleep and never wake up. I've been in and out of recovery for 12 years, never seen it this bad...we're losing an entire generation behind this stuff.
Take care of yourself out there @airthebear207
You are lucky to be here now reflect and don’t do the same insanity again develop self love ❤️ be around positive people glad you came back
Why don't you replace it with lighter drugs like weed and alcohol? Have you tried strong marijuana/hash to deal with the cravings?
@@roguemaximmus3419 it doesn't work like that. You'll just be high as hell still craving a pill. And it definitely won't do a thing for withdrawals symptoms.
@roguemaximmus3419 It wouldn't work,alcohol and weed feel different than opiods. I'm on prescribed medication for organ failure/chronic illnesses and was also prescribed Marijuana (which I unfortunately can't use as it made me vomit more and have a mental break because underlying mental health issues doctors knew of but felt it wouldn't mess with). The feeling from all 3 are vastly different and the 2 doesn't give the rush of dopamine/euphoria that you get from high doses. I work with my pain management and specialists and I stop taking my pain medications off and on as I'm terrified of becoming addicted. The pain is unbearable from my health problems, pain that makes you want to end it. But knowing that risk of becoming addicted especially with having relatives that are alcoholics,and one of my older siblings abuses drugs is enough for me to know suffering for awhile is better than becoming so hooked and dependent that I'd have to buy who knows what off the street.
So sorry for your loss😞 You have such a beautiful family❤Rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏
Mom don’t blame yourself u did right by keeping her in jail PRISON SAVED MY LIFE 16 years ago only because my grandmother/mom did the same SHOWED ME TOUGH LOVE I HAVE NOW BEEN CLEAN for years❤️ I hate your sweet girl never got a chance to experience life without the dragon😢 I PRAY YOU FIND comfort and peace❤
Bless you, and prayers for your continued recovery!
My little brother was 31 years old March 12 died of a fentanyl overdose 12 days before that are dad lost his battle with cancer now I'm sad at the house without them
My condolences 😢
Sending you healing love! 💝
Thank You for sharing your story 🙏Absolutely Heartbreaking😰May God give you all Strength🙏
BEST MOM WORDS EVER. ALL MOMS SHOULD HEAR THIS.
I appreciate this Mom and sister's honesty.❤
My heart aches for this family, I would love to see siblings play a bigger part in these documentaries because a mom, dad, brother, sister, aunt, ECT reaction, there all so different but all so very important, it's not just the user's issue, it's the whole family's issue...I'm nine years sober and Amen Jesus but I wanted to say the part of "getting sober" that held me down the longest was the thoughts of what I did to not only me and my life but to everyone around me, everyone I wish would have said hey, what's up, are you ok, it hurts me to see how supportive alot of these family's were and now must spend the rest of there life wondering if they could have done more, my response is, you can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink...you did what you could and then God stepped in because he couldn't watch the user suffer anymore either. 😢
Thank you. I firmly believe in my heart that God indeed chose to give her peace and free her from that demon. You are so right, it affects the entire family. We appreciate your support and kind words. Prayers for your continued sobriety 🙏🏻
What a wonderful mother! Wish there were more strong mother'slike you on this earth 🌎! God bless you and may he keep you and your family is my 🙏. Also; My deepest condolences to & your family.
Thank you for your condolences. Prayers are appreciated more than you know!
This makes me sick, my only child’s father died of a fentanyl overdose at 32 (2022). I now feel the need to tell her how he really passed because it can be the same thing that takes her life. It’s a sick world we live in where even legal drugs can be laced with this bs!
Is she young? Is that why you've kept the truth from her?
We were very transparent with her son from the age of 8. I met with a counselor for assistance because it was so important to me that he was aware for his own understanding. Education is so important. Prayers for your son, who now goes on without his father 😓
Her mom showed her tough love, reminds me of my mom
Tough love is just a way to hide narcissism. It's always these families that lose children to drugs.
In families that are open about it, and let them do it at home, they never progress from marijuana and some beers.
@@roguemaximmus3419Lord, you're not bright!
@roguemaximmus3419What a load of pure 🐴💩💩💩🤦
Виноватых всегда можно найти
From the information contained in this short video piece, it sounds like this mother did every thing right.
so, so sorry for your loss...addiction is a vicious, horrible disease...it's especially hard to deal with, when the genesis of the addiction was caused by legitemite surgery...God bless...
Her addiction was not caused by the surgery. The pieces were in place and there is an overwhelming probability that the she would have become active in her disease within the year anyway.
Стресс был причиной
I feel your pain. My son is an addict and started with marijuana then drinking and pills and heroin at 18. He most recently was using fentanyl he has been clean again now for nearly a month. This is the hardest thing a parent can ever go through. It is so so destructive to all family members and you feel totally helpless. Im so sorry your daughter is gone. I can not even imagine what you are feeling. I pray that everyone becomes aware of the dangers of all drugs and alcohol and to all the families that go through this. ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
As an addict, I can say that JAIL is the worse place for someone in the throws of addiction to be. It's just a learning environment! You learn about new things out there, new ways to scam a buck, new ways to trick the system. We as a country need to learn that rehabilitation WORKS when those who receive it are READY! It's way to hard for those without insurance or means to pay, to get help. Truly sad. That's why there's always gonna be a market for great films like this. Praying for your family. Can't hurt ❤
Prison is a bad place for addicts. However the amount of people who go to rehab and then start the drugs again is honestly crazy. Knew a friend. Paid thousands on medical bills, rehab, counselling for his uncle. Checked out of rehab 2 days later, asked to lend money, back on the drugs. Honestly its a hard situation.
Yep. My kid learned all kinds of crap in prison
Very sad story; prayers to the family. I looked up her story and oddly not mentioned it looks like her significant other passed away 3 months prior; I am sure that did not help her spiraling more out of control on her road to sobriety. Grief and heart break is a trigger for some and it looks like she was grieving for sure.
You are correct! Thank you for the prayers.
My sympathy goes out to you and your family 🙏
Very powerful and good advice. I’m sorry for the loss of your daughter
So sorry for the loss of your daughter 💔🙏 I loss my son to fentanyl 11-15-2023, I spent 20 years trying to save my son. It all started with oxycontin, a doctor prescribing him 120 pills a month, then roxys,he couldn't get the pulls anymore and turned to meth. I made him leave after finding needles in my house, I have grandchildren. 2 weeks later they found him in the median. I will prayer for y'all, it's a deep gut wretching pain that no family should ever have to go through.
Debi, I am so sorry you lost your son. What a terrible thing to have happen. I wish the government would get really serious about fighting this epidemic. I know your life will never be the same again. You're in my prayers.
💔🙏🏼💔 Condolences to the family and friends. I'm sorry. 💔🙏🏼💔
It breaks your heart when your kids are not well . And you feel helpless. Drugs and mental health, is both problems not addressed well in this decade
Jails need to have a discharge plan in place for opiate addicts upon release because they get out and end up using then overdosing. Jails also will not continuel maintenance medications for those already on them prior to incarceration making them high risk for overdosing. It is the government's and legal system's problem because it was introduced to many by the pharmaceutical companies. It only takes one week to start an addiction to opiates.
That’s not the prison’s responsibility. And it wouldn’t work anyway.
@@brettcordes3602
Where did Misty ever mention it being the jail and/or prison’s responsibility?
Literally nobody has mentioned that because obviously we all know it isn’t. However would a discharge plan & accommodations work, specifically for those who are interested..? Absolutely, 100% a fkn YES 👏🏻. Unfortunately the vast majority of inmates are treated like complete sh!t all around the United States, regardless of their bad decision that put them there. Genuinely I’d suggest giving inmates a little more credit considering SO many of them are actually hardworking, compassionate & committed individuals, who are determined to do anything to change their lives. Yes it’s true that not all inmates should be treated equally, but you’d be surprised how difficult their conditions are.
Condolences to your family ❤ my heart breaks for your loss 😢 poor Victoria it’s so hard battling addiction 😢 thank you for sharing your story/journey
As a parent of two young boys it scares the fuck out of me we just have to keep them alive our precious children😢
Mother to mother I'm so sorry. I have been sober since December 11th 2013 I was on heroin for 2 years before that and I pray that my children remember everything that I went through before I signed the guardianship over and went to prison for a whole year. I try and remind them now and their teenage years the things I have seen and I'm always make them watch these stories especially since they're into the Snapchat.. prayers
Man…I can’t kick this addiction. I know my fate is sealed but I’ve been to prison because of my addiction…I’ve tried all kinds of rehabs..nobody in my family uses so they don’t understand. Right now I’m barely even able to function normally..I can’t function without it as of now..the only thing it hasn’t taken YET is my life. The worst part is my family I’m super close to thinks I’m clean and all that..breaks my heart..I was in a bad car accident and they kept prescribing me crazy strong pain meds until I was physically sick without them. I didn’t even understand what my body was going through. Essentially they doomed me. I might as well just passed away with my best friend in our accident.
Please get to a Narcotics anonymous meeting ASAP
Try Jesus. ❤
@kassiaalberts4599 With God, all things are possible! Keep focused on getting well. Find a program and go in with an open heart and open mind. The “sick without it” is temporary, but living life again is completely ahead of you. You can recover! I will be praying for you daily 🙏🏻
How are you doing today?
Please get help
There will be pain
Just think of the brand new day being clean and sober.
You can live my friend
I'm praying for your recovery
❤️❤️🙏🙏
I’m watching this on her birthday. Happy heavenly birthday Victoria. 🙏🏻
I'm so sorry for your loss I have to say I'm in recovery the withdrawals I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy I send my condolences God bless 🙏

What a lovely daughter you raised
Something is missing. She was in rehab but when she died mom looked to see if she was still in jail? No mention of any transition from rehab to jail.

I felt this mothers pain, as a mother of 2 addict sons. Both mine are in recovery, my youngest is 24 and has been sober for 2 years, and my oldest is 28 and has been sober for 1 year. I dont wish this on any parent. We've looked for my sons body on the side of the road for 2 days, hes been stabbed multiple times, totaled 4 cars, the list goes on, and I believe every parent has went through this. The struggle for an addict to become clean is soo hard, they have the addiction their fighting everyday, along with the mental health issues, the remorse they put them selves thru and there loved ones. I feel for this momma! Your daughter sounded like a beautiful soul, and she is not in pain anymore.
This is a sad situation around this country and i hope my kids never have to face any kind of addiction or engage in illicit drug use.
I do just wonder why there's so much empathy in this fentanyl, and before that heroin, situation but there was NONE during the crisis in the 80s with crack? Does anyone have an answer for that? Im just curious.
Many of us patents are going through this.. extremely painful financially devastating. Stay strong for their babies left behind.
Wow for a mother to say her daughter is better off in prison is powerful.
Addiction is a killer and it's sad 😢how this hit so close to home I'm very sorry for your loss my condolences
I’ve never been on drugs, never drank alcohol or smoked anything… so I can’t imagine what this is like. 😢
Continue to stay far away from all those things. If you never start using any of them, you won’t have to figure out how to quit. Those things will only destroy your life. Life is much better when you’re sober. I pray Jesus will keep you safe, and away from all those things. Blessings to you.❤
You don't want to imagine trust me.
It’s so awful. 🩷🩷 stay away. Keep on the right track.
Береги свою душу, это зло от дьявола!!!!

This is so heart breaking. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry yall lost Victoria. I lost my daughter. This drug is the most horrific nightmare for our family's then to loose our children to it. It's not right. I hope it was ok I forwarded this to a few sites I'm on about us loosing our children family members etc on Facebook. I pray that maybe Victoria's story will save a soul and a family or many. You all are so brave to do this to show your story and for me to know I'm not alone in this pain I can't even describe. I miss my daughter every second of everyday a part of me died that day too she's the mist amazing living young lady and I am so lucky she chose me to be her ma. I stood by her everyday and I was the one who found my precious child the horriable day the day my whole world stopped totally. I can't sleep I see how I found her and to add to it her bf placed her body on her bed staged the whole scene in how I would find her placing fentayl all around her in bags took all her jewerly her diaries write on her wall. We know he was part of her death no one will listen she seamed just anouther fenny od that's it's. All the evidence everything we told the police after this horrific day totally ignored. I mean totally. No one cares and he's free . I wish I could bring back all our children . My heart aches for your family and again I'm so so sorry.

Powerful story, may you find peace
beautiful mother and daughter i hope they are both well very sad story
As a father of two teenage daughters and a former addict this scares the hell out of me. My heart hurts so bad for these parents.
Our government needs to broadcast and place the same importance on deaths from fentanyl poisoning as they did for people dying from covid
Always so so sad. 17 months sober from opiates today thank God🙏🏻❤️RIP to those that weren’t able to recover and beat their demons/addiction in time before it was too late tragically.
I am so sorry for your loss
I know exactly how you feel. This is the truth 🙏🏾
I feel their pain her story is very similar to my daughter who fought addiction and lost that battle on Jan 23. The pain it leaves the loved ones with is unimaginable. The mom saying jail brought us peace sounded like me. I would pray she would get arrested so I knew she was alive and not using or being abused. I tried everything to get my daughter help but system doesn't help much. My last attempt was to charge her with stealing my car in September after my mother passed away. The DA said she could only get drug court if she committed a felony. She never made it to that court date because her addict boyfriend bonded her out. Even when she was ready for help willing to go it never worked because every place had no available beds. This needs to stop. An addict won't sit around for weeks with no help waiting on a bed.
May she RIP my prayers to you and your family. My husband overdosed. He was clean for 13 years. I miss him so much. It only takes 1 time it's horrific. Addiction effects everyone. I'm sober almost 2 years thank God. God Bless you all ❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss. Congratulations on your sobriety. You wrote this 11 months ago so it will soon be three years if things stayed good. I wish you the best.

Tragic, that she had to fight and lose. I am so sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences to your family on Victoria's passing.....
Ex addict here…”chasing the dragon’’ is inhaling heroin from a piece of tin foil heated with a lighter.
I have multiple family members in addiction to opiates, including my bio mom, and I don’t know about anyone else but eventually I got to a point where I got hardened to most of the world around me. It used to hurt me to see my bio mother or a cousin on the street high or dope sick, but now I just keep on walking. It makes me sad for these people because their whole family got blown up and for what? A drug? Like you love that person so much, and even that can’t help them.
I’m so very sorry for your loss ❤
Love and Light ❤
How is that that doctors are still prescribing opioids to teenagers, I don't understand that. Well, that is very strange for me since I am from a different country.
I’m so thankful I’ve been able to remain clean from opioids since 2016. The way I was living back then + how bad Fentanyl is now… I’d absolutely have been dead.
Such a heartbreaking reality ❤
Its so difficult seeing someone in the grip of addiction especially females as they are risk of exploitation.if you see an homless addict in the street dont walk the other way just a conversation can make all the difference.addiction is a disease nobody chooses class A addiction im very sorry for your loss may she be at peace now 😢😢
I’m so sorry praying 🙏🏽
This broke my heart I feel so bad for her family she was beautiful may she rest in peace ❤
Im so sorry for your loss. Im in recovery and have to take methadone every day and probably will for the rest of my life. I also know ive literally swapped onw addiction (the heroin/morphine/oxycontin) to methadone. But it stops me being in withdrawals. I totally understand what victoria meant when she said she was scared of living because i feel like that too, even my methadone acts as a bandage to the way i really feel about myself. You are a wonderful family and i wish you all the love and prayers ❤
I wish I had someone like her mom to just be there it terrifies me to re-live my past the pain is unreal and unbearable I don't want to relive it scares me to death where I am there is BARELY help for people its so wrong people like me want off meds yet no one there to actually be there help when u don't no where to start or where to turn
My sister is 8 years clean and I can’t be more prouder of her. Thank God her sobriety came just before fentanyl was a thing or I am sure she would not have been here any longer. I lots another sister 28 years ago to an overdose and even that didn’t scare my sober sister from using herself. Addictive drug disorder is a family trait passed down generations to generations. If you have any addictive disorder please get help it’s not a moral or willpower failure it’s a disease a treatable disease
Is fentanyl a very strong sleepig pill or drug?
Lord have Mercy on This Whole Family!! 🙏🙏
I have had an opiate addiction for 10 years . I never sought any type of high because I was given after a very bad appendix infection. At this point I’m only taking them to feel normal . My tolerance is so high . I absolutely believe I have taken fentanyl
