I pictured these 2 struggling human beings,cleaned up and dressed to the 9’s!! That picture is so beautiful. God knows the struggle but it’s ultimately our choice to get sober. Wishing the best for both of them. Sending love and strength!!❤️💪🏼
Amen! I pray for them
They’d be so beautiful 😢
@@oliviatraylor7557 I pray they find that their worth is priceless. They are loved and valued. ❤️
Somewhat yes but you’d never know if someone wants to be sober without a sober mind. Of course someone truly addicted will have an addicted lens. The prefrontal cortex gets hijacked and people no longer can make the right choices that’s why intervention is necessary. It worries me how minimal our society understands addiction.
such a beautiful way with words
Was a heroin/fentanyl addict for 12 years, homeless, prison, rehab all that good shit. I will never understand how this man said he would only use after work, and not before. In my addiction I couldn’t imagine waking up going to work and not getting well before I went. Got 3 years clean now thank god!
Thank God, best wishes
good for you❤
There is a undeniable lucidity and awareness to Arthur - just look into his eyes. The drug is mostly a choice for him. I do believe Coco enables him and he chooses this too - out of love for her. I reckon that if Coco healed and stopped with the drugs, he would follow suit.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You are amazing. You are so strong. I hope the rest of your life is peaceful, you deserve it!
When Mark ask her what the hardest thing she's been through is , Arthur immediately comforts her and doesn't stop . True love thrives even in our darkest days.
Wow What Mark said.. “You guys don’t look like fentanyl addicts”
Man that hit
home. I’m 5 years clean from heroin and I have heard that so so so many times..being a young black woman many assumed the same of me.
But there isn’t a “look” guys..I got my first bag from my mother, and later down the line my 1st ever (of many)attempts at getting clean the detox center I went too, there was nurse Amy who I met there and who also treated me as a patient. 6 months later we would be buying and using heroin together. Mom is still using and Amy lost everything.Her kids, home,nursing license, and so much more. The stories I have in between, and during those 5 years that I was out there are truly book worthy. All of that mud and muck I drug myself and family through, Man I had no clue that I would use that same mud and muck to build the foundation of the woman I am today.
And All from a girl who “doesn’t look like a fentanyl addict”🙂
She is…she was..and she made it.❤️
Be Encouraged.☮️
Jessica
Amen.
💖🙏🏾
Thank You for sharing your story . What a remarkable woman you are . May you receive an abundance of blessings ! ❤️ 🙏🏼 ✝️
Congratulations 🎉
What was your breaking point where you had to get clean?
@@kyndracrump the threat of losing my kids.
Omg, their picture stood out so beautifully to the point I clicked on it so quickly. I wish nothing but the best for this couple and their families❤🙏🏾
Same!
They don't look like addicts....yet. Praying for their recovery.
Right
This lady is gorgeous there a cute couple just need to get off the drugs
Me2
You can see how much they care for each other, especially Arthur for Coco. I hope they can get clean from their demons and the drugs.
Usually couples never get cleaned.
I know... I think it's probably the worst situation for them to be in. So sad.@@princessbleu1090
They don’t care for each other they are co dependent. There’s no way any relationship can bloom under these circumstances, when the nature of this drug is turning you against those you love. They are both just using each other for an easier time getting their fixes, and more time spent under a roof.
@thepincushion1835 I get your point, they are co dependant and probably can't get clean unless they separate to do so but I think what the OP is saying is their dynamic with one another is a lot more functional than what we normally see on this channel. You can tell they are sweet to one another, they give each other respect, etc.
They will do anything to feed their addiction - they literally tell us that in the first few minutes of the interview. They love drugs, and they will chose drugs over each other when it becomes necessary.
Skid Row is literally filled with addicts that were abused as children. If there was no abuse so many people would be living “clean” lives free of drugs. So heartbreaking.
Soo true. People can be horrible.
So is the "normal" working class
@@nor_cal530 no. They’re not. How can you classify a whole group of people to make that claim? Tell me wheres you’re rational? What in the world has been told to you to believe the working class is terrible? Is it because you’re better? Have life figured out? Do you have it all? If you did.. you would not have commented on this post. But you want someone to battle you. To convince you. Not literally; figuratively.
Let me tell you. When you’re scared, alone and worried. Just pray for Jesus. You may not be ready to give up the good time. And it’s a lot of fun in a moment. But when you’re worried. Just asked him to walk with you. He will. Just walk with your through drinking and drugs or whatever you do. Ask him to walk with you.
I hope this helps. It helped me. It helps me everyday.
...and Trauma.
I was an abused child. I do NOT put my life on the line daily with drugs because of it. It’s no excuse to do this to yourself.
Being raped from the age of 4-18 is enough for anyone to seek out a pain relief in the form of drugs. Fentanyl takes you away from here and I can understand her need for that. His trauma was just as bad just in a different way. I wish this couple a miraculous healing. They deserve happiness and peace.
I have seen many videos and the stories they tell is like duuck of course they want to do drugs after everything they being thru. Hope they can find the peace their souls need. 🙏🙏
Bad things have happened to Matthew Mconeughy yet I’ve never seen him addicted to drugs
A few of the people replying to you just want an excuse to think of them as less than human before we know they've done anything like what they were subjected to.
Sad it was her own dad that had to be horrific to deal with
@stillpantherportal1007they admitted stealing from families and talked about self reflection sometimes you can tell when people are terrible usually they are liers these two aren’t liers
Coco is so beautiful 🥰 I feel so bad she experienced sexual abuse from her father and mother boyfriends and her own mama blamed her for it 🤦🏽♀️ I pray for them both to heal 🙏🏽
There’s something so endearing about Arthur. I can only pray for them
So true
I agree. There's hope and a thoughtfulness.
i see that as well.
❤
I think she is his crutch. He loves her so much that he's willing to not change. I think he borderline wants to quite, but STUCK in love w her and the drug. Praying they both come out on top
I had the same thought!
Me too. It's sad😢
I picked that up too. Not an expert, but I truly believe that he would be able to recover if she wasn’t around…
Too many people hold the woman responsible for the man’s choices. He is better at selling himself…he knows what people want to hear. They both have horrific trauma. They connect thru their trauma and their addiction. They both choose.
@tmbiggie66 same. I loved Whitney so much and it would truly make me upset. They both had their vices and were each other's crutch. It has however been said that men are more successful at kicking the habit than women. I am praying for them. 🙏🏾🤎
You can see the beauty in this couple I hope they don’t lose themselves to fentanyl! I pray they get it together
Two nice people with so much potential, just ruined by bad parenting, so tragic. Closing your eyes at night and seeing all the abuse you went through on a loop in your mind is a horrible torture. I wish all the best for these two, glad they at least have eachother.
Thank you for some raw honesty. My husband and son died 10 months apart in 2020 and 2021, both from Fentanyl overdose. Hearing your stories helps me to understand a little more what they were going through. Thank you for that. 😢
So sorry for your loss love sending you & your family love & comfort❤
Sorry for your loss I pray all who are struggling find the strength and want to get help before that’s no longer an option for them we do recover you are not alone @lisajo3259 ❤
Thats horrible im sorry i been through it myself its the worst feeling you can ever imagine to be sick
It didnt help me do shit i needed it to be able to function and not be sick as a dog and honestly the word sick does t describe what it feels like without opiates once you have a physical addiction which doesnt take that long at all
SO sad. Sorry for your loss😢
As a current junkie struggling with the same substance issue… I like how they own the choices they’ve made. Their honesty is refreshing regardless of the life they live. Grief will make some ppl do things they’d otherwise never do…
because it’s no excuse but when my little brother passed away in April 2020 and this was some time after that I lost my uncle who was like a father to me and my best friend offed himself… I started to fuck up and accidentally tried fentanyl and I almost died but I realized how fkn high I was and how during the whole time I was dealing with almost dying, I was numb both physically and mentally… I wasn’t lost in my thoughts constantly replaying over and over the deaths of the ppl that meant so much to me and had such a impact on me… but of course with any drug or substance.. the high will go away eventually but the pain still stays. No loss is any greater than someone else’s lost.. I’m just saying how grief lead to my addiction and problems, but it’s still not an excuse
Thank you for sharing your story, things will get better, Jesus loves you Joseph
I will pray for you❤
God bless! Keep pushing brother.
I pray you get the help you need. May god cover you ❤
I have been clean from Opioids for almost 20 yrs. It brought me to tears to hear both of them. To understand the feeling of stuck, rehab, relapse not feeling normal in your own skin. You often use to escape your past. Then to escape the person you no longer recognize in the mirror. I hope they both can see as I did how beautiful, unique and one of a kind they are. The first and biggest struggle is to realize you deserve a better life. It is possible. You aren’t the names people have called you or the voices in your head.
It is possible to get and stay clean… it’s not easy. It is hard. But, So worth it. I am keeping them both in my prayers as addiction is like a Dragon ( definitely a disease of mind and body)you have to fight and kill. If I did it I’m no super human, I was beat down and exhausted. With the want and right help anyone can.Sending lots of Love and Prayer!
I can't imagine living the childhood that they were forced to live. 💔🥺 Incredibly sad. Every time that I see these videos...I count my lucky stars & blessings that I had great parents. So much childhood trauma with alot of these people. Such a vicious life cycle that they live. 😬 Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
Don't be fooled. Alot of addicts make up sob stories in order to rationalize their use. As a former addict I was a pro at this. Every addict has some type of exagerated sob story.
@@Snorky_88bullshit. That may apply to the majority of addicts but "every addict" does not have a sob story...I don't, not at all.a
@@PrimateProductions well you must be one of the rarest addicts out there or still using and don't want to face reality. Everyone in recovery who has been sober for any decent amount of time can admit to atleast ONCE coming up with a story in order to rationalize their use, wether it be in your head or telling someone. It literally goes hand and hand with addiction. So you either were an addict who never lied about an excuse to keep using ( witch is extremely hard to believe ) or you just want to argue with a stranger about something dumb over the internet.
You are right, I know that to be true with foster kids for sure and a neice who is addicted to hard drugs! She will call up Food Kitchens and cry a real sob story and be a real drama queen, mean while she is fabricating the whole story and has strange guys walk into her house go straight to her bedroom.
My son lived with her for 2 weeks and he told me and I was the one who informed him what she was doing with the strange guys. She has 2 little boys. My son got out of there real quick. He said the kids knew way more than they should have. @@Snorky_88
Watching people talking about their lives always help me understand other and myself. Life is complicated, nobody wants anything bad to happen. Talking about yourself and being vulnerable is a hard thing, I can't imagine embracing all that risk to receive every judgment from society. Bad things will happen, and so many problems that still cannot be solved, I think if we share more of our thoughts and just combine every mind's power, I'm optimistic we could reduce so much misery.
Wow its like your advertising Fentanyl and now I want to try it. Are you kidding me. Gov Polis of Colorado is massively on drugs and he is successful.
@@deena7155what are you talking about?
@deena7155 That's not what I meant. I'm talking about how addicts receive so much stigma without people realizing the cause of why they go down that path. I think we all should make people more aware, and try to find a solution. Because I think all that stigma just makes things worse, taking statistics of mental illness that keep increasing it's hard not to think that it will just worsen. But I'm optimistic about the future.
@@erwinzer0 not sure what your responding to of what I said. I was just speaking of the video. Those guys are making fentanyl sound good like I want to try it now too. And she says she doesn't know one person who is successful on drugs. I know several Gov. Polis for 1. Maybe I put it under the wrong thread?
Agreed🤍
Despite the addiction, I can sense the care and respect they have for one another. I feel deeply for CoCo and the terrors that befell her. For this reason, we must always protect our little girls.
"Give up 1 thing for everything or everything for 1 thing"
- never trurer words have been spoken than these related to an addiction
Thank you Coco & Arthur for sharing your stories. 🧡
He is so self-aware. The best thing he can do, is get away from her. Of course, it's not her fault but, sometimes the people that we're trauma bonded with, although they do love us, they love us so that we stay in their level. They don't want us to move up , because then they would be left behind and that's what it feels like in this situation.
he said that self work and meditation and therapy have helped him, but then she pops in and says not me. She just seems totally obliged to live like this. Where as he, still knows he was meant for better.
South the abuse she experienced would have made many become killers imo.
Nice to see a self aware person in these comments
Interesting, I had also read the situation the same way; he is the worker she's the dependent. She hasn't got the drive to stop where as I believe he could, but he needs to separate from her.
I hate to put it quite that way, but he was so clear that his greatest fear was losing her, whereas hers had nothing to do with him but herself. I don't think she's some intentional user, I just think her trauma plays into it all. I have no judgement, just hoping he is ok with how things go
I got sober almost 7 years before my Husband did. He's been sober for about a year (his previous best was 3 weeks). I'm coming up on 8 years (March 2024). Yes, opiates were our drug of choice.
I'm glad every single day I didn't abandon him. Without him, I might never have escaped my sociopathic "mother."
They're both such an attractive looking couple. I hope they can help themselves and be successful!
Them being a attractive couple doesn't matter.
Them being a attractive couple doesn't matter.
I mean at least they can still go out and get good jobs. Some people on here don't have teeth or anything so they definitely will be judged and have a harder time reacclimatizing into society if they choose to.@@toigo-dn7on
Mark, I've watched so many of these and it really starts to sink in this trauma thing. Thank you.
There's a big slice of American Pie here watching the two of you, Arthur and Coco...and we want a better life for you both post addiction therapy and within a sober life. I am so sorry about your growing up years, NOT FAIR. My wish is that you could figure out a way to find a new definition in life. Easier said than done, I realized. God Bless you both. Thank you for sharing your lives with us today. ❤❤❤
Their honesty speaks volume. Hope the best for the both of you. Thanks for all your videos Mark, there has been many🙏🏿❤️
Breaks my heart man. Sending love to everyone with such deep trauma.
I can literally see them as children as they describe their upbringing. I see the child in him the most. Makes my heart bleed for her lost innocence. No child should have to endure something like this. Makes me so grateful for my childhood. I absolutely wish nothing but the best for you two. Finding each other is half the battle in this world. Fight hard to overpower this thing. You guys make a beautiful couple. #peaceandblessings
They're a beautiful couple. I can imagine them functioning, happy productive under different circumstances. Childhood trauma is such a destructive cancer to the human soul. This is an example what bad parents do to people. God Bless these two.
They probably wouldn't get along for 10 minutes
I was thinking the same thing.
Amen
Missing the point of these videos if that’s your takeaway. These are cautionary tales not treatment videos. The dialogue in your mind should be comparing their mindsets and their failures to your own and re assessing your life, if that’s not the takeaway you’re wasting your time.
@@vlrissolothey are nodded out most of the time so I imagine it’s pretty easy
There’s some stories that you can’t help getting attached to, they are one of them. God bless this couple ❤️🩹
The way he looks at her with his heart in his eyes he loves her very much.
he loves fentanyl...
Yes they seem to love each other, but…. They are enabling each other to stay in active addiction . And , their addiction has lead to a lot of bad shit - pimping , stealing, lying , prostitution, violence.
The drugs are making him feel that way, w his little ride or die chick next to him. The vibes change when you're pimping your own woman out for money or after a few more months they'll look ghastly and gaunt like we all do after we use on the streets for longer than a few weeks/months
The way he looks up in outerspace is stronger
@@colby8104 😭😭😭😭😅😅😅😅
I send nothing but love for these guys. Drug addicts are the most enterprising hustlers there are!! I hope they find ways to do life and no longer enjoy the high. I can tell they have so much potential if they tackle their demons. I hope they find peace and get their lives together. This is why Psychedelics should be made more available.
Mark if you see this, thank you for all that you do! ❤
That's an interesting video you have on your account.
I like your name 😂 ❤
I can see the beauty in both: I pray they get the help they need to live a healthier life
I’m thinking about how my mother loved and protected me and I in turn loved and protect my son. It absolutely breaks my heart knowing that every person doesn’t get to have that.
I’m beyond grateful to not be living that life anymore. Watching this brought back so many memories of that lifestyle. I hope they can both one day make it out like I did❤
Im glad you made it to the other side. Keep fighting ❤
@@tatijanvier8092 thank you❤️
Im glad you got out,I know it’s not easy!
Take good care of yourself and be safe❤️
erin 😍
No matter the circumstances, a good companion makes life a little easier to deal with.
I witness so many beautiful souls on this channel- people who are abused, neglected and ridiculed by so many - yet they are the ones who demonstrate compassion, empathy and love. These are the beautiful people , the ones that remind society to be human.
He’s biggest fear is losing her her fear is dying they’re on two different places mentally but in the same position spiritually ❤
He cares so much for her. He continued to comfort her through this whole interview.
Praying for these two beautiful hurting souls. Declaring freedom, peace, healing & much love.
I pray for them to have patient and loving community.
I can see past the addiction at how beautiful both these people are, Coco's bone structure is gorgeous. I wish that they could see themselves past their disease. Best of luck to you both
Seeing past the addiction is why this channel is awesome. Mark has compassion and does speak to all his interviews very respectfully.
Is that all you see? They must be shallow if thats thier only quality, i see selfishness and delusion
Seriously I guess in your eyes she has more value due to her bone structure, wow
karen you are beautiful 😍
@@rogdawg123yeah she is!
There is a undeniable lucidity and awareness to Arthur - just look into his eyes. The drug is mostly a choice for him. I do believe Coco enables him and he chooses this too - out of love for her. I reckon that if Coco healed and stopped with the drugs, he would follow suit. They are a strong team ❤
I think he looks haunted…Jesus heals and delivers
The drug may have been a choice a long time ago, however, addiction has taken over and with or without her he would still use. They both have many demons in their past from a very young age and tragically this has led them to self medicate the pain away.
Addiction is not a choice, it is a medical condition and I only pray our governments will start treating it as medical and stop criminalising drug addiction; we need effective and immediate action.
Ohhhhh noooo, I lost a friend a few months ago from fentanyl, I didn't know she was addicted. She faked it well.
Addiction is such a hard disease to combat. I pray for healing, wellness, and love over them.
I am really sorry for what you had to go through, both. Thank you for sharing yourself. I wish you all the best 🙏🏻
"Care more" I loved that. Thank you Arthur and Coco
You guys are honest and you try. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey. You have each other, it’s a lot. Sending prayers and love.
18 years of Heroin and Cocaine addiction. Been clean 6 years 2 months today. I'm a 65 year old Navy veteran and for me to still be alive and doing well is a testament to not being a idiot has worked. I left Florida after 27 years and the smartest desion EVER!
Bless you 🙏🏾
I loved to hear about their mentality. They merged into an own entity. When you asked „Are you self destructive?“ and meant each individual, he answered with „we tried to separate.“ and that shows how much they formed a partnership with their relationship being their „self“. Also that moment when she said, she‘s scared to die and he is scared of losing her. That‘s some kind of complex love and attachment. I feel so much love for them. How they are both craving the attention. They need to be heard and loved and I just hope god gives them the strength they need to survive in this world. as it was said correctly on another channel: therapy makes you feel good, so you can do the right things. coaching makes you do the right things, so you feel good. they seem like they need coaching, because they are already very self aware
Addictions are the "great" equalizer - It doesn't matter how much or little money you have to invest in your addiction or your sobriety, there is no saying who gets out of it and who will succumb to it. Just listened to Matthew Perry's book 3x and with all the resources at his disposal (supporting both the addiction and the sobriety) it was not enough. Also a agree with one of the comments below, "rich people's party habits" and "skid row addicts" - same fight, different arena.
Isn’t that something? At the end of the day, u are I and I am u❤
She seems to be very happy being in this predicament. There were moments he showed to be a little embarrassed & she was just laughing & giggling. He even stated it was time to get it together & she still just laughed & giggled the only way for him to save himself is to leave her behind.
Some people laugh when they are nervous
She's high on drugs. I doubt she's happy. Probably just high and trying to make the best of the situation.
Some people laugh to keep them from crying. It's a nervous laugh for sure, plus she's on drugs.
In this moment I don’t think he used as much before the interview you can see she has, he is her sensibility in the chaos. He has more self control that is usually the dynamics in couple addiction.
I think it might just be a coping mechanism for her. She sounds as if she has resigned herself to this life as it is the only way she has of keeping the demons away. Poor soul.
It’s sad what kids have to go through, and surviving means enduring the pain everyday. I’m glad they can get some relief. I’m glad they have each other.
That goes to show you how a high percentage of adult problems started from their childhood. It can be a never ending cycle.😢
They are so honest with themselves. I can truly appreciate that.
They are such a beautiful couple! Their personalities are amazing! Praying protection and peace within for them! 🙏🏽💐
Coco you can do this sweetie. This sickness can be helped. Let the emotions out it’s ok. Life is so much better. YOU ARE WORTHY OF IT❤❤❤❤
when I encounter people like Arthur and Coco, I feel such sorrow for them. It breaks my heart to imagine them, born, tiny babies into a world of evil and chaos. It's just so utterly tragic and wrong that people have to suffer like this. And I'm at the same time filled with joy when I see a child that is obviously loved and cared for. Trauma in childhood is devastating and you just want to save every baby born into hell but you can't. Addiction of any sort is extremely hard to recover from, you really never do. Fentanyl is so dangerous on the street, I wish the best for Arthur and Coco. I'm glad they were able to share their story.
Wow! They are such beautiful humans. This was such an honest and insightful interview. I pray for better days of sobriety for them. They have so much to offer to others who are struggling.
This is so incredibly sad. It bring tears to my eyes. I pray for them that God covers them and protect everyday.
When he said what is your biggest fears he looked at her and said losing her that was the most heartfelt moment ever for someone to say that ❤❤
They both look older than 38. They sure seem cheerful. It would be hard to kick drugs alone but with a partner in crime. it’s nearly impossible. If the other person doesn’t quit and you need the relationship, you can’t make that choice to leave. Two drug addicts are double trouble.
Like they said numerous times .. it is what it is. Very sad
I am grateful they found each other. I see their pain. I also see how much they support and love each other unconditionally.
They are so aware in the mix of everything.. sending them love.
The honesty and remorse is genuine. This story stood out for me. They have love for one another. I hope that one day, it gets better and they both live a better quality of life.
These two people sadden me to the core. They are decent folks who need psychological and drug treatment immediately. I feel their pain and the feeling of numbing pain.
Im thankful you allow them to share their story. They are human beings who need help and love.
This hurts my heart. Sending prayers for healing and recovery and blessings!
You two are beautiful - I hope and pray you both find the Peace you’ve been looking for.
I've been an addict for 22, nearly 23 years, since I was 12. But I had clean & sober parents that NEVER enabled me. I had to go out n do all that on my own. They turned a blind eye. They pretended I was fine. I've done rehab 4 times so far. I've got 2 kids, single mum, and I truly, cannot understand how any parent could allow any harm to come to their children let alone put them in the direct line of it. That's not just addiction that's complete lack of empathy or maternal instinct.
I wish you both the best. And I'm sorry you were both so failed.
*Arthur & Coco* -- sounds like the title of a movie...
You have a beautiful relationship. Please try to get clean before things get worse. Don't be afraid to be sober together because it will be so, so much better! ❤
All the best to you both, from NYC!🗽
It does sound like a movie title 🙃
I had to go to rehab for 6 months to get through my addiction to alcohol … I have been sober 5 years now and one thing I have realized is all addiction stems from trauma I hope one day these two can break their chains of addiction
🙏🏾prayers for you as well for continued healing, growth & to keep being strong ✨
I am so glad Coco finally met a man that would cherish her! Their love is so pure! I hope they will keep up with the progress they have already made! I do not know much about drug addictions but using less is a step in the right direction. Sending love to the wondreful couple!
Trauma bond couple. I hope they get the help they need.
What a lovely couple. They have been through so much… I hope they find some inner peace and fulfillment.
Auther is so loving, I pray they both get cleaned. Beautiful souls
What a beautiful couple! I know they can get clean & overcome this illness. My heart is with them & hoping they get sober sooner than later.
Thanks for sharing such personal and insightful information about your lives. My heart goes out to you both. Wish there was more I could say to possibly help. That kind of trauma is so devastating. I wish you both the best.
what they have is so beautiful and completely sad at the same time. They are resiliently amazing
Great conversation
I hope this couple finds help and turn their life around to a bright future.
Mark you pictures are beautiful.
It’s something with all the fidgeting that hardcore addicts do that drives me crazy. It breaks my heart while making feel nervous inside all at the same time.
I was just thinking the same thing. It's a short video so I'll stick with it. If they give us their time, I should make the effort to listen to their stories. Wishing them better times.
You don’t have to be a “hardcore addict” to fidget. That’s the effect of the drug. It’s like speed. You can’t sit still.
Why does it make you always stare off up in outer space? And then fidgetness is because of like adrenaline?
@@colby8104 I don’t know what the staring off into space is about, possibly the affects of that specific drug (Fentanyl) or a lot of times you don’t want to look people in the eye because shame & guilt. But yes fidgeting is due to your adrenaline pumping fast. So much energy you don’t know what to do with yourself.
I thought they were on uppers of some sort. Didn't realise fentanyl had these effects
Awww . Please get clean . Such a cute and intelligent couple ! Praying for you two
Just heartbreaking. I pray they find the strength within each-other and get clean.
He’s so protective of her , human connection is so important ❤
He is probably protective of for the wrong reason.
He is probably protective of for the wrong reason.
I absolutely adore Coco, she shines so brightly. They are a cute couple together, I am just so enthralled with her beauty and her infectious smile. Someone mentioned that they imagined these two dressed to the 9's. When I read that, I pictured it as well, and wow wow wow. They both have such a classic, timeless look. I almost think dressing that way, even if for a day, would be a huge boost in confidence.
Coco's "parents" were monsters.
What a beautiful broken couple 😢Praying they find peace and hope for the future! They seem to be both very smart, but they need to deal with their past traumas to move forward 🙏🏻
Beautiful couple! I pray they get the help they need to get clean.🙏🏾
They are beautiful. I pray the come to know their true identity and that they aren’t what was done to them or what they did to others. Forgiveness is powerful and it’s for everyone. God bless you. 🙏🏻
Thank you Mark, for your continued work. This is so important! So much love. 💕
MAN! these two beautiful souls that found each other to dwell in their pain... I see good hearts in these broken souls and are just a product of their up bringing : (
He seems like a good dude that wants out been there. Her on the other hand..she dosnt want out she needs him to use for $$$ dude get away from that chick...she will be the death of you ☠️
I think she loves him too but she seems further along the addiction path than him and almost like she has given up on sobriety. It is going to be hard but my wish is that they both somehow manage to get clean and have a wholesome thriving relationship with each other.
Easier said than done. I don’t think he’s afraid to die.. Just afraid of her dying.
Indeed. They're both a crutch for each other, but she's definitely more of one for him. And this is from someone who was married to an addict for over 20 years who went through and saw a lot.
I pray they both get the help they need. Somehow. This is so sad. Such a beautiful couple. Thank you both for your transparency. The system stinks. It's inhumane. So many are suffering. So many dieing.
Great interview Mark as always you nailed it. Just absolutely love your work.🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️🧡🧡🧡
I always try to remember the strong saying to " walk a mile in my shoes " and never judge. Soft White Underbelly gives all of us an opportunity to glimpse the reality of others with empathy. Thanks for such beautiful and human views.
It's never too late Y'all, never. If You could go from shooting to snorting, You can do the getting clean thing. It will take literal years to rebuild, I know. However, it's so worth it. Still struggling here, I've been clean since Apr 8th 2020 and I'm still having days I'm not sure if my car is going to make it. But even with that, I'm so happy I decided to get clean. I know You can too. Prayers of Strength, Hope, Healing, Tenacity, Comfort and Love!!❤
Bless you 🙏🏾
These comments warm my heart 🥺. How people are able to feel deeply for strangers. I hope God finds them and pulls them out of this horrible addiction 🙏🏾🕯️🕯️
Childhood trauma is truly heartbreaking and is so difficult to recover from , if it’s even possible 💔
They need to enter survivor mode and not stay in victim mode to recover from the trauma, it is certainly not hopeless as many people learn to live with but also rise above the trauma and thrive.
@@rosieposie9564 t my are easier said than done for many people 😢
@@Avievan91 I am one of the most 'negative' people you can ever encounter but even I tell you this today that it is possible to overcome childhood trauma. I agree with you entirely that it can be hard but by no means impossible.
My wish for anyone who survived childhood abuse is to keep being a survivor, get help if you need it and above all fight with all your might to not now as an adult abuse yourself to escape pain. Face that mf and decide not to ever be a hopeless victim.
Genuinely a warm and lovely couple, a lot more functional than many of the normie relationships i know of.
Fentanyl is very warm and genuine. You should try it too
Living in a fairytale if you think this is true love
You sure romanticized this relationship
Coco's parents failed her tremendously. My heart aches for her...just observe how emotional she is here and there during the entire interview. They both seem to be really good people. They simply just need deliverance from the addictions. Lord Jesus help them.
Their transparency was amazing!
They're beautiful, power couple vibes. It's so sad this is what they're in.
Power couple?
Power ful drugs
There potentially a power couple if drugs weren’t involved. I get you.
