Laying here coming off of a big relapse cocaine and alcohol. and came across this video and channel looking for hope. wow I'm in tears, this just encouraged me to not kill myself. Needed every word.
Cocaine almost drove me crazy, I was addicted for 3 years straight smh. As of now I am 26 years old have now been sober for 2 years and 7 months and I've never felt better. Whoever is struggling please never give up I am proud of you
@@Floridaboy1990 I'm not gonna lie brother I also actually relapsed 2 weeks ago but it was only one night I honestly cant believe I slipped up smh I was on a streak. The next day I felt so off bro and low and wasnt able to focus and that continued on for about 3 days but after you start feeling amazing again and the longer you go without relapsing the better the natural good feeling gets and it just feels amazing no other way to put it. You already decided and tried stopping you're one step closer to achieving your goals, never give up bro. Were all we got left in these cruel times
Incredibly articulate man, it shows that not everyone is what they seem. He looks just like any other typical news anchor, would never suspect he had an addiction of any kind. Stay strong!
I went to college with Jeff. He roomed down the floor from me an my roommates on the 6th floor of Dixon Hall freshmen year. Jeff was one of the cleanest, most suave guys on campus- smart, articulate etc. He looked and dressed like a celebrity, even back then. Very well-liked and respected by the guys...mainly cause all the ladies adored him. Had no idea he'd gone through what he's gone through with drugs, but good to see him succeeding in his comeback. In an article online, I read that Jeff wanted to send a message to the LGBTQ+ community... “Party and play is killing us.” But the drug/party culture is not just an LGBTQ+ problem...it's an American problem, it's a problem with western culture, including the US and Europe. ....young people need to know that it's possible to enjoy life completely sober. Sober partying needs to be normalized. All the best to you Jeff.
I was a functional alcoholic for over 15 years. I never got a dui,had a car accident or hurt anyone. Not cause I was smart. It was the grace of God cause all those things should have happened to me. I identify with what he is saying. The sneaking, the lying to yourself and other people and the excuses of why you missed work. If anybody out there is trying to quit something take one day at a time. Just concentrate on getting thru the day, not tomarrow or next week. The days will pile up.Its been 20 years for me now without a drink. You can do it.
This video just humbled me so much. My sister is an addict and I’ve wrongfully judged her to the point where I’m now more ashamed of my judgmental behavior. Here my sister has needed me to be there for her and I turned my back because I believed addiction was more a choice than disease. Thank you for your humility in telling your story. It has truly changed my heart.
It started out fun , cocaine was like a party drug for me. I use to hook up with females and we would snort powda , drink liquor, listen to music , party and then have sex. After about a year the high was different. I was more paranoid....I isolated myself from everyone. I became depressed, lonely, felt worthless, no friends, no girlfriend, no life. I'm here today watching this video because I want my life back....im tired of living like this. I feel like im dead inside.....I started smoking cigarettes and one bad habit led to another. I'm here today to reclaim my life back
I hope you read this because it felt like exactly like me , same story, please believe me i wish someone would had said that to me , what ever you feel now or think , this isnt you , its the dopamine gone, you cant control your depression, my words wont make you feel better but try to believe me , i went on medication and use anti depressant , all those taughts you have , they get numb and disapear , i smoke weed now , gives me happiness, the battle u live now , i won it 1 week ago so . I wish u the same
Fetal position in a corner....wanting to get out of my skin....talk about being able to relate. No one understands addiction if they have not gone through it. Imagine not being thirsty but at the same time unable to stop drinking water....or standing in the rain looking at a dry spot in front of you but unable to take the step. To this day i struggle with addiction. It is hard but the first step is admitting you have a problem. I pray for all addicts out there fighting. STAY STRONG, STAY SOBER!
Amen! Praying God will put a massive protection around each of them! Give them the strength and mindset give up their addiction I pray all addiction is binded up and cast in the pits of he'll Amen! May God renew you! And you get a fresh start on life and make it well with your soul. God loves you! And so do I.

This guy has a great ❤️ heart and seems like a nice genuine person. This made me cry. What most people that judge from the outside of situations such as this don’t realize, is that the majority of people struggling with addiction are some of the most sensitive, empathetic , misunderstood, intelligent and caring people you could ever imagine meeting, it’s the addiction that makes them behave and make choices they would never ever consider in their healthy state. My favorite story’s to hear are addicts that have overcome and go on to help others either with their story or dedicating their life to helping others daily in life. That is what I want for myself once I get the courage to get my issues under control. Being addicted to drugs is a nightmare, a daily nightmare that you relive over and over again. It’s not what most outsiders think, it’s not that we want to use and it’s making us “high” anymore, it’s just to try and survive daily without feeling absolutely horrible!! It’s a disease which is just beginning to be somewhat understood in this day in age. Anybody struggling with similar issues, just stay strong 💪, don’t beat your self up for making mistakes. Even the smallest step in the right direction is gigantic.
As i watched this high telling myself this is my last sack. I think im ready im not addicted addicted. But i know i have trouble thank you sir for your story very humbling mind over matter
I relapsed this weekend and it was terrible! And the hyper aggressive sex made it worse! Some days I want to die and others I’m myself, I’m tired of this cycle
This story was extremely from the heart, what a good dude. If you’re reading this man, if you fall off the wagon ever or anything, it happens. Don’t look at this video as “hypocritical” or anything! Seriously inspiring. Almost cried.

I’ve watched this video several times and on a day like today, just after a slip, the power of Jeff’s words are what I need now. Thank you Jeff for so eloquently describing the process you’ve gone through. You encourage me that I can do it too. Peace and Love.
Damn that was really good. So so proud of you and how far you've come! That's amazing. Towards the end really hit me cuz even tho the substances are different and we have totally different lives...through this horrifically painful and devastating path..the only thing that's kept me here is that it's shown me what I do have passion for...And it's people like myself...even through complete self hatred and self destruction,I know when I've tried asking for help or when things happened to me that shouldn't have, it's shown me what I want to change in the world, even in one person's life...it's humbled me entirely, to the core. I've never been judgemental,but I have more empathy than I even did before. Toward any one suffering and struggling with mental illness and addiction of any kind, I've been through so much in my life that I feel like there's no point but I keep saying IF I can get out of this...I know what I need to do. And who I want to fight for, and who I wanna be a life line to. Because you can see yourself in others and I want to be that someone that I've helplessly cried for thinking there's no way out and I still do a lot of the time. But I really relate to that....I have multiple co occurring issues going on and I don't know how I'm still here honestly but I know if I can do this, then I will have found my voice,and can carry out my true passion...it's taken a lot of reflection, all my life I thought I couldn't do any thing and I had no skills or drive...But maybe for some of us we have to go through hell over and over and realise that we can be some thing, some thing so powerful and we can save other people... I always knew I wanted to help people but now looking over the last 10-15 years, I know exactly how I want to help..And there are so many ways that I could.. if I can just figure this all out. Thank you for sharing your story, and also helping me hang on a little bit longer. 💜💜💜
What an amazing testimony, I hear Jeff completely. It's tough because we convict ourselves first and then those who find out convict us too. The destruction of oneself takes us to hell, but we can get out. God bless you Jeff and everyone who hears this message.
Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad I ran into this story !! This has been so helpful to me and I'm sure has helped many others ....your a great man and I applaud you for coming forward and I'm sure life has gotten 100 times better for you !!
You are a symbol of strength and hope .. I've never done drugs but Meth is becoming a big problem here in New Zealand.. I guess I'm trying to learn about it .. thanks for sharing your story
As thats exactly what you should be doing and it's really rare to actually hear some one that doesn't do drugs to take it apon yourself to educate yourself and I tip my hat to you
This was truly beautiful and inspiring. Im currently in recovery having quit meth myself. Wish i could hug you. Stay resilient and i will do the same myself. Thanks for sharing your story this was great to watch and take in :)
i feel so ashamed that i let myself try meth in a moment of self hatred. at the time, i was declaring war on my body, i had nothing no hope in the world. nobody around me could handle the truth ab my use, i hated everything about being awake. im 3 days clean third time i've tried quitting, because i want to wake up and love life again
Whitney hid behind her glorious voice but once it started to decline severely she couldn’t hide it anymore. The facade was up and she had to face the reality of it all.
@@donovanrobinson1843 You hit the nail on the head. I would go even further and say that her reluctance to face the reality of it all is what also lead to her demise as well
@@blackonyxtv823 her reluctance and even those around her. She was in a drug delusion to think we didn’t see the signs. She probably figured as long as she could work and perform she was ok. But also Imagine having parents who don’t care enough to get you help all because you’re still at the top of your game and supporting them. They didnt attempt to get her any help until she was deep into drug use and her career was in shreds.
I wanna quit powdered cocaine so this is giving me hope I have a hole through my septum in my nose because of how much I've done in the past 4 years and I'm only 23 so my New year's resolution this year is to get clean...
I'm only 17 months into my daily coke habit and yea, I completely understand the suicidal ideation and thinking it is the way out. I've attempted 3 solid times this year alone. January 5th I shot myself in the head with my favorite 9mm pistol. June 1st I held a police officer at gunpoint begging his fellows to kill me for 33 minutes. The 3rd attempt I cannot put into words here. I understand. I really do 😢
If you are reading this comment after a relapse, please know that you haven't failed, it's all part of the process. But it’s up to you to keep moving forward, and you can and will get out of this hell, just keep trying. You're so worth it to me. You're so lovable.
I tried cocaine a few times when I was in my early 20s. It made me want to be still, quiet, and take a nap. I didn’t see the appeal (thankfully!). Years later I was diagnosed with ADHD. Stimulants don’t give me that euphoric feeling.
First I most congratulations to all of you who are sober now. Rehab and recovery are one day at a time. sometimes it can be baby steps. If you want to get clean you must change who you are around and hang with. You can't hang with the same people who you would get high with.when addicts who are recovering substitute one for another anything that will keep your mind are hands busy. if you relapse don't come down on yourself. you can be clean for yrs. and one day something happens and you relapse. don't give up, try it again.
Hello Anita, What if you’re your worst enemy? I score my dope, then I do it alone. 2 weeks now, after 3yrs of not using. I have a job, a house, cars and I freaking used. I’m watching all these meth videos and at the same time using- alone- in the comfort of my own home!! I don’t get it. I don’t even feel the high anymore, it’s literally just smoking just to smoke.
I never was a consistent meth user but I did it at least once or twice a month back in 2018 from fall all the way to Christmas. It started hurting my chest. As long as I don't do it anymore I'll be okay right? Or should I tell a doctor about it?
So how do we go about helping those that are obviously using. What do we do? Any suggestions? I have tried offering rehab and told the person it would be our secret. But he denied it. I say I love you snd want you better. Still nothing. Do I check this person in a hospital? Not sure what I can offer to help. What is the 12 step program???HELP…
My best advice is to continue to show love, send prayers and don’t give up for the loved one in your life that’s still in the abyss of his/her addiction. Rehab gives the addict the tools to stay sober/ recovery. Hospital isn’t the solution, both rehab and hospital will deplete you financially. Money can’t buy recovery. 12 step works only if the addict wants to work the 12step. He/ She needs to look at themselves and find the love that’s buried deep down in a dark place somewhere within themselves. Love the child version of themselves, learn to forgive themselves wholeheartedly and little by little that evil demon should find a way out of the addict spirit.
Every night when I lay down to go to bed I crave cocaine so bad and I wish the cravings would stop even though I haven’t done coke in 7 years. I just need to write it down on here and get it out of my head because I don’t really have anyone to talk to about it… Been thinking about going to meetings again… but it’s really hard to deal with
How long have you been sober? That 30 second high doesn't worth the months/years you've build yourself and were sober. That was hard work. Don't throw it away for a 30 second high. It's not worth it. Brings more bad than good.
the cravings have been better recently thankfully, its just so crazy that the cravings can be so strong and I can just see past instances of doing coke in my head. Even though its been years since ive done coke..@@vintagecherries
2 years today clean ... lsd helped me ... sounds stupid but I had a major problem... someone recommended lsd for addiction and I tripped for 2 days straight... never looked back ... I was using crack and coke ... got a grip of it and feel better... if anyone reading this needs advice it’s lsd for the mind and spirt
I’ve had the same experience with lsd. It made me see how badly my actions were impacting me and I saw how I was limiting my potential. Def makes you reevaluate your bad habits and makes you want to respect the body you’ve been given. I don’t share it with many people because people will call you crazy if you say a drug helped you get off other drugs but it does work for some people.
I've had my family that has passed on my mind all day especially my brother that was on meth he tried to run from some very people there was only one person knew where he was at! Same one that was hid out with him! The only one that left to get drinks snacks and more drugs. They paid her alot of money to give him a bag. Which she did not touch she told him she going home to bathe. He made it to a friend's house about dead. I never forget the hurt my mom and rest family went through The Doctors told us this was no overdose.this was meant to kill him! It crystallized every organ in his body, it was a slow painful death! you go in his hosp room.. it was a oder, that would take one breath! No one could stay for very long in his room. The stint was awful I don't understand how it could happen he said he could tell by the color if it was meth or it had bad stuff in it! When he smoked it! Anyway! I got to get back to bed for work in a few hours I just want to say I'll be praying for all those who have an addiction no matter what there is not one addiction any better then the other! Not judging, just want to pray for each of you! And the family we suffer too!
Idk if it’s just me but his facial expressions his mannerisms to the way he speaks, it resembles Tupac. Even at first glance he looks like it from his left eye to the cheek bones etc. I know it doesn’t look like him that’s prolly the point. I see it, do you? Or is it me?
@kevinmoody2753 Thank you so much for writing this because I knew that Jeff looked like someone, yet couldn't work it out, then said, "THAT'S IT!" as soon as I read your comment. I can see clearly now (good title for a song) that he bears an uncanny resemblance to Tupac Skakur and others might've mentioned it as well. 😊
What a great man and interview, I really hope many youngsters can watch this to empower them that there is more in life to live for than destroying themselves with drugs. Amen 🙏
I am a fragrance addict. I buy a pile of fragrances from online, fed ex arrives, boom I hear that box hit my doorstep and I was asleep. I open that door, open the box, and rip that plastic off a fragrance box, spray that sucker on my arm and take a big ol snort wiff like a giant line of coke on my arm. Ah ,,, and its like a super light version of doing coke. Oh man the first time that new fragrance hits your nose and brain, oh my gosh it might just be a banger! Sometimes its amazing. Sometimes it sucks! You dont always know which adds to the anticipation. After the first time Ive smelled it, I still like it, but that whole first run is the shyt man.. It just knocks my head off.face-green-smiling
The one thing that's kept me away from "stuff" is dealing with the mindsets of addicts . . . I can't and I won't. One of my ex was a coke addict (who got off of heroin in the 70s, got on coke in the 80s (insane), the other weed head (would act totally stupid if he could not get a hit) BOTH would act crazy as hell, them and all their friends. People who don't wash, people who talk crazy and itchy. These people aren't bad people, just in a bad way.
I can do cocaine with 0 alcohol and be fine and functional. Meth with 0 alcohol, meth and general... omg I cant function as a human. Alcohol is my biggest vice though
Laying here coming off of a big relapse cocaine and alcohol. and came across this video and channel looking for hope. wow I'm in tears, this just encouraged me to not kill myself. Needed every word.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s a godsend
Hope you good 😌
@@shadrackbortey6215 better thank you 😊
i feel so ashamed that i let myself try meth in a moment of self hatred. at the time, i was declaring war on my body, i had nothing no hope in the world. nobody around me could handle the truth ab my use, i hated everything about being awake. im 3 days clean third time i've tried quitting, because i want to wake up and love life again
we have a similar story, remember that you are stronger than that addiction, and trust me when I say if I quit anyone can
I really appreciate your story, I’m
Going through the mugshot phase right now and it’s very uncomfortable.
This man kinda looks like an older Tupac Shakur

His story reminds me of how Whitney Houston was able to hide her drug addiction for many years until it unfortunately took her life
Whitney hid behind her glorious voice but once it started to decline severely she couldn’t hide it anymore. The facade was up and she had to face the reality of it all.
@@donovanrobinson1843 You hit the nail on the head. I would go even further and say that her reluctance to face the reality of it all is what also lead to her demise as well
@@blackonyxtv823 her reluctance and even those around her. She was in a drug delusion to think we didn’t see the signs. She probably figured as long as she could work and perform she was ok. But also Imagine having parents who don’t care enough to get you help all because you’re still at the top of your game and supporting them. They didnt attempt to get her any help until she was deep into drug use and her career was in shreds.
@@donovanrobinson1843 Nothing but facts
Black, hide?....not from the ones that knew her.
Fantastic. Listening well done continue on your amazing journey
Nice, nice honest man.
I wanna quit powdered cocaine so this is giving me hope I have a hole through my septum in my nose because of how much I've done in the past 4 years and I'm only 23 so my New year's resolution this year is to get clean...
U can do it I been clean for 2 weeks
Did you do it bro ?
Stop snorting. Learn to base it and smoke it. Better high and save your nose
An inspiring story - beautifully told with deep authenticity
you are a good man JEFF.
He certainly is
Thank you Jeff for sharing your story
I'm only 17 months into my daily coke habit and yea, I completely understand the suicidal ideation and thinking it is the way out. I've attempted 3 solid times this year alone. January 5th I shot myself in the head with my favorite 9mm pistol. June 1st I held a police officer at gunpoint begging his fellows to kill me for 33 minutes. The 3rd attempt I cannot put into words here. I understand. I really do 😢
Damn brother are you ok?
Thank you for your story. Reminds me of just how hard it must’ve been for someone I once knew.
Keep your head up bro. You very brave for this confession that will help others. God bless you.
Thank for sharing your story .keep your head up
Good stuff buddy hopefully I can get were u are soon because the pain hurts to bad
You can do it brother
@@aidanj9885 thanks buddy
@107g It's two years later now and I hope you've managed to do it! 🤔
If you are reading this comment after a relapse, please know that you haven't failed, it's all part of the process. But it’s up to you to keep moving forward, and you can and will get out of this hell, just keep trying. You're so worth it to me. You're so lovable.
I tried cocaine a few times when I was in my early 20s. It made me want to be still, quiet, and take a nap. I didn’t see the appeal (thankfully!). Years later I was diagnosed with ADHD. Stimulants don’t give me that euphoric feeling.
Wow very inspiring story ☺️
First I most congratulations to all of you who are sober now. Rehab and recovery are one day at a time. sometimes it can be baby steps. If you want to get clean you must change who you are around and hang with. You can't hang with the same people who you would get high with.when addicts who are recovering substitute one for another anything that will keep your mind are hands busy. if you relapse don't come down on yourself. you can be clean for yrs. and one day something happens and you relapse. don't give up, try it again.
Hello Anita,
What if you’re your worst enemy? I score my dope, then I do it alone. 2 weeks now, after 3yrs of not using. I have a job, a house, cars and I freaking used. I’m watching all these meth videos and at the same time using- alone- in the comfort of my own home!! I don’t get it. I don’t even feel the high anymore, it’s literally just smoking just to smoke.
Thought I was Kobe Bryant for a second on the thumbnail😅 a good story though❤❤
I think he was Tupac
Identical. God bless you buddy. 💯🙏🏼
It’s been a year since the vid…I hope ur still clean Jeff! If not, there’s nothing stopping u from starting again except ur mind! Best wishes.
Thank you for your courage!!!!
Moving, very moving, God bless brother.
What a amazing Guy.
Good luck to him in life
I got cravings for it now I been 6 days clean
Godbless you for sharing your journey❤
Amazing story✅
powerful, thank you!
bless you man
Trying to get off flakka everyday I relapse the day time I'm king of the city at night when I come down I be very sad
Wonder where he at now
I never was a consistent meth user but I did it at least once or twice a month back in 2018 from fall all the way to Christmas. It started hurting my chest. As long as I don't do it anymore I'll be okay right? Or should I tell a doctor about it?
Hey bro am experiencing the same feeling right now. I can’t breath normally. Any updates?
It goes away after a few days
dude ur fine lol
So how do we go about helping those that are obviously using. What do we do? Any suggestions? I have tried offering rehab and told the person it would be our secret. But he denied it. I say I love you snd want you better. Still nothing. Do I check this person in a hospital? Not sure what I can offer to help. What is the 12 step program???HELP…
My best advice is to continue to show love, send prayers and don’t give up for the loved one in your life that’s still in the abyss of his/her addiction. Rehab gives the addict the tools to stay sober/ recovery. Hospital isn’t the solution, both rehab and hospital will deplete you financially. Money can’t buy recovery. 12 step works only if the addict wants to work the 12step. He/ She needs to look at themselves and find the love that’s buried deep down in a dark place somewhere within themselves. Love the child version of themselves, learn to forgive themselves wholeheartedly and little by little that evil demon should find a way out of the addict spirit.
Every night when I lay down to go to bed I crave cocaine so bad and I wish the cravings would stop even though I haven’t done coke in 7 years. I just need to write it down on here and get it out of my head because I don’t really have anyone to talk to about it… Been thinking about going to meetings again… but it’s really hard to deal with
Say “Jesus Christ save me.” “Jesus stop the cravings”
How long have you been sober?
That 30 second high doesn't worth the months/years you've build yourself and were sober. That was hard work. Don't throw it away for a 30 second high. It's not worth it. Brings more bad than good.
the cravings have been better recently thankfully, its just so crazy that the cravings can be so strong and I can just see past instances of doing coke in my head. Even though its been years since ive done coke..@@vintagecherries
2 years today clean ... lsd helped me ... sounds stupid but I had a major problem... someone recommended lsd for addiction and I tripped for 2 days straight... never looked back ... I was using crack and coke ... got a grip of it and feel better... if anyone reading this needs advice it’s lsd for the mind and spirt
I’ve had the same experience with lsd. It made me see how badly my actions were impacting me and I saw how I was limiting my potential. Def makes you reevaluate your bad habits and makes you want to respect the body you’ve been given. I don’t share it with many people because people will call you crazy if you say a drug helped you get off other drugs but it does work for some people.
how does lsd help a addiction.
@@patconlon847 google it
I've had my family that has passed on my mind all day especially my brother that was on meth he tried to run from some very people there was only one person knew where he was at! Same one that was hid out with him! The only one that left to get drinks snacks and more drugs. They paid her alot of money to give him a bag. Which she did not touch she told him she going home to bathe. He made it to a friend's house about dead. I never forget the hurt my mom and rest family went through The Doctors told us this was no overdose.this was meant to kill him! It crystallized every organ in his body, it was a slow painful death! you go in his hosp room.. it was a oder, that would take one breath! No one could stay for very long in his room. The stint was awful I don't understand how it could happen he said he could tell by the color if it was meth or it had bad stuff in it! When he smoked it! Anyway! I got to get back to bed for work in a few hours I just want to say I'll be praying for all those who have an addiction no matter what there is not one addiction any better then the other! Not judging, just want to pray for each of you! And the family we suffer too!
Idk if it’s just me but his facial expressions his mannerisms to the way he speaks, it resembles Tupac. Even at first glance he looks like it from his left eye to the cheek bones etc. I know it doesn’t look like him that’s prolly the point. I see it, do you? Or is it me?
thought the same thing🤣🤣🤣🤣
@kevinmoody2753 Thank you so much for writing this because I knew that Jeff looked like someone, yet couldn't work it out, then said, "THAT'S IT!" as soon as I read your comment.
I can see clearly now (good title for a song) that he bears an uncanny resemblance to Tupac Skakur and others might've mentioned it as well. 😊
I call myself a functional crackhead and i hate myself
Take cold showers and long walks for a month with suboxone and you will be okay and also pray
@@gracesento9875 i appreciate that
@@gracesento9875 take suboxone for crack addiction? totally different drugs that isnt good advice lol
@@blackadam6677 how are things x
@@chickyface7537 a little bit different, for the better fortunately💯🙏🏻🙈
Is this tupac
Never been on any class a drugs ever just been through depression that’s all. Good luck though.
What a great man and interview, I really hope many youngsters can watch this to empower them that there is more in life to live for than destroying themselves with drugs. Amen 🙏
Very inspiring
Tupac
Love you 😕⭐️👏🏾🤴🏿
Wish i was a meth addict instead of having to battle depression for so many years.
Wow!!
thought this was diamond city/ good neighbour at first.
My name is Jeff!
So inspiring
2pac a life?
Your a top man
I am a fragrance addict. I buy a pile of fragrances from online, fed ex arrives, boom I hear that box hit my doorstep and I was asleep. I open that door, open the box, and rip that plastic off a fragrance box, spray that sucker on my arm and take a big ol snort wiff like a giant line of coke on my arm. Ah ,,, and its like a super light version of doing coke. Oh man the first time that new fragrance hits your nose and brain, oh my gosh it might just be a banger! Sometimes its amazing. Sometimes it sucks! You dont always know which adds to the anticipation. After the first time Ive smelled it, I still like it, but that whole first run is the shyt man.. It just knocks my head off.face-green-smiling
What the blue Christ are you on about?
Fragrance addiction! Its fantastic. Thats how good my cologne is. lol
@@afterlife101spirit
Keep narcan nearby and don’t buy that cloud perfume
whats cloud perfume?@@ivifranco1945
Oh i never do opiates. wont be needing narcan. lol@@ivifranco1945
he wasn't an undercover addict if he was sleeping through newscasts he was the main anchor for. Also, he definitely seems like he is still on meth...
How
“I’m not that person shooting up, so I smoked it” no, you are that person
What it smell like?
The one thing that's kept me away from "stuff" is dealing with the mindsets of addicts . . . I can't and I won't. One of my ex was a coke addict (who got off of heroin in the 70s, got on coke in the 80s (insane), the other weed head (would act totally stupid if he could not get a hit) BOTH would act crazy as hell, them and all their friends. People who don't wash, people who talk crazy and itchy. These people aren't bad people, just in a bad way.
Wtf
@@gaba_goblin Yes addicts are problematic and I won’t deal with them.
I can do cocaine with 0 alcohol and be fine and functional. Meth with 0 alcohol, meth and general... omg I cant function as a human. Alcohol is my biggest vice though
Tupac back!
Damn!
Tupac at 50.
