"I was Addicted to Meth Since 14" True Stories of Addiction

- Shantal grew up surrounded by her father and his friends rather than other kids. She enjoyed being around the hustle and bustle of the adults and was exposed to drugs and alcohol at a very early age. With two parents battling addiction, Shantal had a tough childhood. At three years old, Shantal's father was sent to prison. Her mother went through a string of bad relationships and she was shuffled around frequently. Eventually, a family member sexually abused her which dramatically affected her life without her even realizing it.
Most people start off dabbling in marijuana or alcohol when their drug addiction starts, but Shantal was different. She started using meth as her first drug of choice at 14 years old. While running around with her cousin she was exposed to meth by people in the neighborhood. After one hit, she knew that it was going to be something that she was going to be doing for quite a while.
In 2015, Shantal was honest with her probation officer that she couldn’t stay clean on her own. She tried to hold herself accountable, but the probation officer didn’t offer the help that she needed. She got married and was still using. She was on intensive probation when she got married. She was able to pass drug tests through any means necessary. Eventually, she was able to stay clean for long enough to get her CNA but that only lasted a short time before she started using again.
When she went to visit her probation officer, she was arrested on the spot because she thought that she was using again. She had been clean for three weeks from her drug addiction and was so fearful to go back to jail. She faked a seizure while in the police car and was taken to the hospital. While in the bed at the hospital, she surrendered to getting help for drug addiction. She prayed for family and God to help her be able to fight for herself. She knew if she went to jail, she wouldn’t be able to get the help that she needed. The police then walked in, removed the handcuffs and walked away.

❤️❤️❤️ she was my bunkie in prison such an amazing person love you and so proud of you!
Lol doubt it
@@jeffreydavis2578 lol
That’s cool..
Oh shit dude. Don’t go back!
No way
9 months sober, I also got addicted to meth around 14 or 15. I’m 21 now and my life is amazing! I make an honest living now, have my families trust, a man who supports my recovery and HOPE! Thank you for sharing your story! God Bless ❤️
@Seth Marchese ahhahaha 👍😂
How :(( I wish I’m almost 19 and I’ve been using since I was 13-14 I’ve tried to quit but it’s hard when you live with an addict mother
@@melaniefranks2 my mom was an alcoholic so I can relate. I get it. But at the end of the day no matter how much you love her, YOU come first. Remember that sweetie. Good luck and much love 🖤
Such a beautiful story! A huge congratulations on your recovery! You've got so many amazing things coming your way beautiful!💗
God be with you
I love waking up, get my coffee ready, and sit down to watch these videos. It’s like going to a chaired meeting
This!💗
Wae up and smell the Folgers crystals
Her life is somewhat like a movie. It's amazing what some people go through and are still able to carry on. Mad respect to this lady!
The abuse to addiction pipeline is soooo real. I’m so glad she got clean though. Ironically I’ve noticed all the (sober) methheads I meet are just the kindest people
It’s just one drug (codependency) to another usually. :( So sad. Same with eating disorders. (Speaking from personal experience.)
Been there..lost it ALL
4 years clean now after smoking meth for 10 years
LOVE YOU good shit
That’s amazing good job!!💕
did your teeth turn black?
@@bgsk1622 nope. Idk how but they didn't. And I still have them all lol
I brushed my teeth all the time to avoid meth mouth.... Lol
Keep up the uploads, I watch every one religiously for a long time now, it helps me with my addictions
Love this!💗
What an amazing smart woman. I was addicted to meth as a teenager then years later got in to crack when my dad died. I’m so glad I got out of it. I’m so glad for you too.
I not a drug addict or alcoholic but it always crosses my mind why people get caught up in this lifestyle ....I cried listening to your story
This is absolutely amazing. I'm in AZ and I found your story. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm seeing God do amazing things but I pray for him to help my daughter all the time. You are a blessing to God and giving hope. I am so happy I found your story. I believe God led me here because my daughter is struggling with meth addiction. She's only 17 and I was reading so many research articles saying it's basically hopeless. However your story is amazing!!! The things you're saying are so true and real! God bless you so much. You are beautiful and thank you!
She doesn’t look like a methhead, goes to show addiction has no form.
Harry she clearly has makeup
Dizo Czup lmao I’ve never done hard drugs in my life and I look like a methhead without makeup
Julia Homola ahah bah noo😂
Kasar Daily Vlogs for you terrible eye bags and acne... maybe not a methhead per se but definitely not good
Kasar Daily Vlogs for you yeah that’s because I’m wearing makeup in my profile pic 😂 also it’s from over 2 years ago
It’s crazy how a lot of meth addicts are extremely well spoken
Sometimes it's a crutch to help people communicate better.
I was a meth addict from 2016-2018.
Clean since August 2018.
Yes, I feel like I need my antidepressants now, but I'm fine with that.
It gets better
Wow you are so strong. The lord is the answer. The devil wanted to take you. God bless.
Thank you for telling your story, you’re absolutely amazing.
I am one year sober from Vicodin. I started when I was 13 and stopped at age 22 ... there wasn’t one day I wasn’t high ... it was to the point I wouldn’t get high I just took them so I wasn’t sick. When I decided to get clean I was in my room for 2 months feeling like I was dying it was such a dark time in my life I wanted to just die .... I have to say life isn’t perfect but life is better..... it will get better I promise
❤
Hey so how you been doing, did dark days get 🌞 sunny for you? I pray they did.
@@LVL1Yo-YoGuy I’m 2 years sober now!!! There’s definitely a life change in getting sober. You no longer have drugs to run to anytime something goes wrong. But I’m trying!! Thank you!!!
@@kianaontiveros9169 way to go
Love this story, anyone can overcome anything w God ♥️ so glad she is in a better space in life. We only have one life ♥️♥️
You don't need a religion to recover but I will not deny that it does help many people change their life. Not pissed or anything just saying it's not absolutely necessary.
Amen, amen and AMEN!
Such a wonderful testimony! Thank you for sharing!
Your story is moving, thanks for sharing. This can really help people who feel alone and lost.
We are so glad to read this ! We love to help people with true story of addiction 😻
This is an amazing story of what we can achieve if we resolve and dedicate ourselves to turning over a new leaf. Shantal is nothing short of a hero.
We are so proud of her.
This woman is such an inspiration, thank you for sharing 💖
A huge inspiration!💗💗💗
Keep posting videos like this. Anything that makes everyone have positivity and hope. I am proud she overcome such a nightmare. Keep going!
No lie I cried to this .... open my eyes more to appreciate my grandparents 🤕❤️ 8 year addict non stop weeks up panicking , melatonin 10 mg everyday I thought I was the only one who did that lol
I'm 18 years old. I stated smoking meth at 17 on December 19, 2020. Went on a 6 day binge and realized that I was missing cheer practices and important events. skipping school and other things. So I stopped and told my cheer coach what happened and practices after that were so challenging. I wasn't in the required shape to practice or compete but I finished my season clean and as soon as I got a long break I spiraled out. It's been 25 days and I haven't stopped smoking. Every single day I've smoked... I leave for Basic Training on June 28, 2021. and I've been spiraling out for so long. I don't even know how I'm going to do this... PLEASE HELP
Thanks for share Tyler, You have our support here, We can help you to find the best detox for you in: detoxtorehab.com/treatment-programs or You can always reach out to us at (866) 578- 74-71
Do whatever you need to do to make sure you don't fail that piss test for the military. Detox before would be a good idea. Once you get to basic, you'll get through it. Everything going on at boot camp will really help you not even think about meth. As soon as you finish basic, find meetings/support group ASAP.
Tyler I really want to know what happened to you! I pray you found NA or some form of recovery. I pray you found help one way or another.
@@bigmacsalad hey man you were addicted and joined? I’m reallly thinking that’s my best option right now military if so u give me hope
I'm here fighting addiction I've been 1 month clean still striving for better I hated that life 😢
Your message is so powerful it spoke to me and on my road to recovery it's people like you that keep me in high spirits as well as God God is very real and drugs have no mercy they'll take anyone praise the Lord I give thanks to our heavenly father that he is such a merciful and loving father good luck on your journey with sobriety❤
Love your story and you hang in there and i am proud of you. God will always see you through everthing
That’s great Chantelle - God Bless 🙏❤️🙏
Thank for telling your story
I have to point out how she doesn't at all look like a meth-head. Normally meth takes quite a toll on the physical body.
It makes me happy to see people that make it through what you have. Christ be with us all.
I'm so happy to hear your life has become brighter ❤
We are so happy for her too.
I cant imagine 14 year meth addiction
She’s a strong woman I’m happy she got cleaned up
So so very sorry that your Uncles and your other Cousins, made the decision to disown you, Shantal from the family!!
My condolences on your Mom's passing away, Shantal honey!!❤
Very tight speech.... I'm struggling also.... trying to be there at least 50% for them.... it's time to choose
brows on fleek tho
Figure on eek tho
Ii8iplllll lol
@@ras_krystafari3333 I think it's amazing. PS change ur name.
I have tried meth, never got addicted but I use meth from time to time. 4 years sober, I was able to overcome it when I got married.

May you remain married for the rest of your lives together Shantal!!
Blessings for you and your whole family, Shantal!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉❤🎉🎉
Did all the meth use cause dental damage or skin sores?
Your story is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story!
You are adorable. Good job. And hurray for working together with your husband...response when he told you to "turn around" . Truly takes a village.
Amazing testimony, God is faithful :)
I relate to this so much .. I’ve been getting in trouble and getting charges since I was 12 just recently I got put on probation because of getting caught with meth and now I’m a recovering meth addict and it’s just crazy to me because I’m only 15 and looking at other kids my age it’s so hard to believe someone my age doing what I am. I’m adopted because my parents are crack addicts and so my aunt and uncle adopted me and my life was great up until I turned 12 and everything changed and my adopted dad started using drugs which made me turn to meth because I wanted to understand why he left everything for it back then I had no knowledge about it what so ever deep down I knew I’d get addicted but I was dumb and didn’t care as long as it would make me feel better I’d be okay with it and I never thought I would’ve of turned into the person I did I tried it once and never stopped hit rock bottom and now I’m finally clean and going two weeks strong so i just thought I’d share this to anyone who needs to hear it ❤️❤️
Fvckkatie thank you so much for sharing your story you have a lot of bravery for that. you’re insanely strong and we all believe in you
Stay Strong, Katie.♥️
God bless you ❤
Onya for getting off it same story for me im 15 n almost 3 weeks clean off ice and hopefully by November my record will be wiped completely. Stay strong Xx
Bless you huni, please stay safe and sober. You've had a hella rough time, I cant even imagine the pain you've been through. But you've got your whole life ahead of you. I've wasted years of my life in addiction and I hope to God you dont go through that. I wish you nothing but happiness. You got this bby girl xxx
Lord Almighty help us in the training of this generation. It is becoming difficult for parents to nurture their children these days.
The story teaches alot about life and believing in your future. 💘
Congratulations 🎉 you’re a strong person for getting through all of that
Totally agree! So strong and an amazing example highlighting the benefits of overcoming life's challenges!💗
OMG you are just adorable. When you said you faked a seizure I couldn't help laughing. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm struggling right now in my addiction and so much guilt comes with it. I have stopped talking to God because of the guilt. I want to be close to him again but I'm really struggling to find the strength to do what is needed and fight.
God loves you. Nicole, there is great power in prayer. I will start a novena for you today for you to find your strength and for you to fight. I from Toronto Canada and I would love to hear from you.
Ask and you shall receive God never let you walk this journey alone and when you fell he carried you and he will continue to carry my prayers go out to you 🙏
Wow, Shantal you had a horrible, aweful and terrible childhood with your Mom and with your Dad, too!!
I am a addict in recovery IVMeth 18 months. I totally can relate to your journey thank you for sharing. We do recover
i am so proud of this woman.
Just keep going Shantal, don't give up honey!!❤❤❤❤😂
My name is Adrian & my brother is in barstow & he is very mentally ill off of meth. I love him so much Id throw my whole life to help him get healthy again . I'm 22 & live in San Bernardino & the "family" I do have right there are all on meth . It's almost like he is demon possessed because of the rage and the looks in the eyes & he's depressed & I love him so much . Any help or suggestions . I'm his little brother
Support the movement. Fellow prison and sobriety channel. New sub. Stay sober stay free
I used meth for 4 months. I'm 16. I've been sober from it for six months. My life is better than ever, but I tell ya what it was a bugger to quit.
did yall hear her? moving pounds at 14. OKAY
She was I was a witness to that shit!!
God is so good.
I want to be sober and stay sober 🙏🏽
where were yall finding meth at 13 yrs old? damn
My deepest condolences on being molested by a realtive at 4 !
My heart goes out you, Shantal!!❤❤❤❤💔💔💔💔
Good for u.. god is amazing 🙏🏽🙏🏽
So glad and happy for her but most of those recovery places will not even talk to you if you are poor without insurance and it has to be the right insurance. I know, I've called ask for help but unable to get any for this reason. On the tv adds they act like the important thing is you getting help but it's a lie, money is the only thing that matters period. I've not tried for help since they pretty much said I'm not worth saving. This is our country. Most other countrys in the world will help if you need it.
Thank you god
Thank U I love watching stories experience rehab life changes on any type drugs especially meth . Herion and fetynal right nown
Thanks to you Lilly, We are glad to hear this stories are helpful!
This is why as adults we must be wary of our actions because kids may be watching. In her case Meth at 14? She was even particular about it. Anyway, this is a good example pf a cautionary tale.
thank you
You're welcome
did her Best at being the Worst . Lucky she made it through and will do Good now .
2:27 LOL as a user i felt that 😂
JESUSSSSS!!!!!!! so great!
So true
Story relates to me

made me tear up a bit 😶
☮️Beautiful!‼️💟
Wasn't she on Dr Bs channel?
Please have faith in JESUS CHRIST- so read John chapter.3:3 of the Bible.
Do these videos ever make any of you kinda want to make you try some of these drugs?
no u fuckin psychopath
I get where you're coming from. The way they explain the highs it's like "Man I'd love to understand what they felt and the dragon they wanted to keep chasing." If we lived in a reality free of consequences, I'd probably try every single drug just to understand the shift in perception, but it's just too dangerous.
Besides when you really think about it, it's so pointless. You only get the peak high of whatever drug of you choose once, it ruins every experience both drug induced and sober afterwards, and it's also bad for your physical and mental well-being. Not even worth it.
xxloveyou77 be nice
Tbh I only watch these to keep myself from it cause I really really want to but know for a fact I’d get addicted so these kinda deter me? Idk
Javier Garcia no
It would be awesome if y’all did fallow ups
3:43 I had a kid with me who was under the age of sixteen and she wasn’t in a car seat?
Uh yea why would she be lol.
I think she meant the girl was sitting on the floor or in the back if it was a pickup truck.
She said she got 6 felonies and was explaining what contributed to her charges. Charged with endangering someone under the age of 16 being one, for driving under the influence. She also got in trouble for not having the child in a car seat, meaning the child was of age to need a car seat, adding another charge of endangerment.
@@colorfulsocksrule I am sure she meant seat belt
You look cute clean and full of life like Sharron 🙂
Wow 😳
damn
This is how many times she said “you know” 👇
Shes obviously visited the hood more then once
Sad
She had the key, which is a good support system..
it's next to impossible if you don't have anyone that you can turn to or anyone that you trust or anyone who even cares. Being all alone.. feeling depressed, overwhelmed, lonely.. those are all triggers 😞
you are so right! that´s why is important to be in communities who can support you! We want to invite you to our Facebook group @DetoxToRehab ehab there are a family.
@@Detoxtorehabcenter Aww, thank you ❣️
I appreciate that 🤗💞
what does meth feel like? the first hit etc.
Sam Gonzalez I mean else then injecting the high takes like maybe 15 min to set in and it’s just a crazy feeling man I remember I snorted too and I remember doing enough where my breath felt good doing enough meth is equal as 30 orgasms at one time
You need to finish a sentence! Jesus!
Shes rambling like shes permanently twacked
🧢
Your Mom was your worst enemy
Semiramis Munoz how so?
I love meth, Crystal meth is hell of drug
Me gusta la gordita yo tambien yo lo soy ex addicto
thats why you do xtc
Xtc is a gateway to being a fruity booty
what an incredible story.. smart strong woman. Congratulations on your clean time.
Us women in recovery need to stick together. Here if any girls need to chat, just hit up my Instagram @nightprowla 💓
She def wasn’t moving pounds bruh😂😂
JonYxvone that’s mean
Brigette Adame truth hurts like a bitch huh
Went through every comment looking for a real nigga calling her bluff😂 She wasn’t moving shit
She definitely was we were some young and dumb foos
@@_RobBanks right. Thank u. I was a tweaker who got clean. Period.
This girl lies a lot but it’s all good
I lie about what getting sober? Get some help
@@hgraham1836 you are soooooo loved and respected. Forget this loser. I think the world of you
You ain’t lose no weight though ?
it was ok till she started going on about the god bullshit
If God saves someone... Why would you be mad? What does it matter if you believe, as long as it helps the person who gives testimony about it? If you don't believe... OK... But why get annoyed if it helps someone else? That makes no sense.
The story was mediocre tbh.
My two previous best friends have been addicted to meth since they were 13 I was friends with them through the whole thing while I was going through my own addictions, I have done meth but I never got addicted thank god, we are all now 15
Yall are too young to be doing this stuff, very bad for you, long term effects and possible death from it being laced with fentanyl, Please be careful with this stuff guys. Stay strong, replace an addiction with a healthy addiction, never give up💪🏽
