I've been looking for Mr. Jake wuckert for 2 years now. He was one of my best friends growing up. I tried helping him multiple times. I'd really like to find him again
I grew up with Jake in that same small town he was talking about. I feel with the way his childhood went he never stood a chance. He was so kind but with Mental Health and the trauma he deals with made it impossible for him to grow to his full potential. If anyone sees him tell him the people of Bureau are still thinking about him and are hoping the best for him and his wife. Gods I hope he gets to the point where he accepts your guys help.
I know that dude! Hes actually a really good guy, hes just caught up in a dark lifestyle. Every time i see him i talk to him. I really hope he finds a way out.
This man has something SO SPECIAL & just speaks SO eloquently! I feel like he could be in movies or something all because of his different look… & he’s just so incredible. All he has to do is make this phone call & choose to get well! A wonderful life awaits him! Sending all my love & prayers 💖💯💗❤️💖
@@parallel-knight people are afraid to ditch the drugs, because they can’t imagine themselves without them. The person they are on the drugs becomes their identity, and the person they are sober becomes a stranger. My drug of choice was marijuana; for so long, for ten years, I felt like the person I was sober could never succeed in this society, so I used marijuana to change me into someone who I believed could be successful, *BUT IT WAS A LIE.* The drugs work for a little while, and then they wear off, and leave you with HANGOVERS (different drugs: different withdrawals). It was always some steps forward, and then some steps backwards. I made a lot of progress as a person by using drugs. It helped me try new things, new experiences, but it also got me into BAD trouble, and I met really evil people through my drug use. (I never knew their was so lowlife people in this world). FINALLY, I am at the point in my life where I feel the person I am OFF DRUGS can be successful in society. It took a lot of work to get to this place. It took me facing my greatest fears SOBER for me to reach this place. This took SO MUCH therapy, not with an actual therapist, just with myself. It took a lot of SELF REFLECTION, and SELF DISCOVERY, and SO MUCH LEARNING. I did this alone, not with a therapist, but I wasn’t actually alone in my journey, because I learned so much from videos on TH-cam! I have to do the things that scare me, SOBER, and it’s so difficult, but I’m doing it!!!! And FINALLY, I can imagine my dreams coming true as a sober person!!!!! Instead of using drugs and taking some steps forward and some steps backwards, I take steps forward EVERY DAY towards making my dreams a reality! I make every day count. Every day is a sacred life in itself! 🌈 ¡God bless everyone! 💖
Haven’t heard from jake in almost a year but i’m glad to see he’s still alive and kicking. i grew up with him in town and try to always check in on him. was worried for a while when he left town until i saw this🙏🏽i hope this message is eventually relayed and i hope you get better bro💯
Jake, I'm glad to see you're still kicking and I REALLY HOPE you decide to take the help that's being offered to you... Ever since you guys left my house, two years ago and left for New Orleans, I've wondered if you were guys alright.. Only a few phone calls, when you got there, before it was radio silence.. Again, I really hope you and Jaelie take the offer that's been presented to you..
This interview is heart warming and heartbreaking.🙏🏽 I used to be a addict but nobody even knew. I had the money to hide it. I was a functioning addict that worked in the French Quarters. But I got tired of living a double life & went to River Oaks Hospital in Elmwood & detox in 3 days & never looked back! I did Herion for 1 year consistently.🙏🏽
Sending love from Scotland. Im in recovery and slowly coming off my methadone cant wait to get off it completely. I wish jake the best i really like him ❤
Sad story. I really hope he reaches out and makes a new life for him and his wife. I know it isn't easy, Ive been there too, but I really hope he makes that decision to turn his life around. Looking out for a part 2 on this one.
What an absolutely AWESOME INTERVIEW!!! our whole household of 12 watched this after a good session of skunk, Man what a cool dude! You allways find the diamonds in the rough my man!!! Prayers to this awesome dude and his other half from new Zealand ❤️ RIP to his mum xxxx
@@SkitterMcBoo - Pablo's not wrong, but I'd put the percentage a little higher. We know him, knew his mom, and they pathologically lied to all of us for two decades, often fabricating stuff out of thin air and denying they ever said it later. The addict part is sadly true. She died a few weeks after getting out of prison for a drug bust - likely trying to do the same amount she did before she went in, was the educated guess from the scuttlebutt.
Dude is exceptionally honest with you. I spent years in that hell. I worker 80hrs a week for nothing though. When I heard $40 I was floored. Shows how strong that fent shit really is. H here is so expensive its going away slowly.
I did opiates every kind of pill. Smoked OxyContin. Heroin. After that moved methamphetamine for 8 to 9 years. I’ve done every drug for years and years. I’ve been sober for five years. Worst thing I’ve ever experience Is TV addicton. Sounds very silly. But honestly, I cannot pull myself away from it when I get home from work. Seven days a week. I spend every hour after work staring at the TV.
Sitting here watching this... I don't even know what to say because I have very and I mean VERY mixed views and opinions on this video. I grew up with Jake and my memories of him growing up are vivid as hell! Like I can recall all our "adventures" from the age of 6 to my adulthood. Last memory was him coming over crying about his girlfriend and him having a fight and he wanted my help finding her, and least favorite memory is him holding a knife to my neck while in my car. Kid has issues, kid had a rough life growing up and got caught up in some stuff he didn't need to be getting into, I feel for him but he needs help. And I think most of his friends weren't jealous of him to be honest... I was "spoiled" as well, he just was fun to hang out with and go outside to play with growing up and I did value his friendship...
I hope he and his wife gets that little house and life they desire. You both are worth it. Im absolute sending vibes of sobriety. 😊 Im praying for you both. 🙏 😊❤
Question for the creators, has anybody taken you up on your offers? If so could we get updates? This guy and his wife deserve a good life together. Hopefully they took you up on the offer.
Unfortunately no one has taken us up on our offer yet. But we leave our information with them every time and will continue to offer help every time. We’d love to showcase someone’s story of breaking through their addiction and getting their life back. We know it’s possible and it happens every day!
@@addictionafterdark Oh man, I'm sorry no one has taken the opportunity. Yes you are right people do want the help. It just has to be the right time when they are ready. Thank you guys for sharing their stories and offering help. Recovery is possible. I'm 7 years clean and sober. I'm so glad I made the choice to change my life. Bless you guys. Stay safe out there.
Have struggle with Injecting and smoking meth , IV Opiates ( Heroin and fentanyl, Cocaine and Alcohol addictions Mental health struggles Been using since i was 14 1/2 years old Im now 25years old Lost my youth Ive served 2.5years prison time because of violence commited while i was on meth/scattering ( word we use in australia to mean tweaking) Love from australia to all my fellow brothers struggling Im on methadone 90mg daily dose so atleast i dont get dope sick for opiates anymore, but i still crave meth and fight it . Still relapse . Love my family they are so supportive I dont steal from them ever
Some people cant get clean bc rock bottom is comfortable. Its all they've ever known. I wish for better for this dude and his wife. Hoping to be clean won't get you there. Hard work and crawling out of hell will. Gtfo of NOLA. Theres nothing good there for yall. I promise. You can do it. We do recover. You have a lot to offer the world but not until you help yourself first.
So I know him personally grew up with him he was always a good person and still seems to be his mom dying really messed him up like he says if u do have contact woth him again tell him to except the help tell him his old friends back home want him to get help we don't want to see anything bad happen to him!
I see this guy on canal street all the time. Usually that little chick is about twenty feet behind him dragging some luggage. If i had a dollar for every time she adked me for one I'd be rich she's cute and shouldn't be out there like that
This was really good. I was in New Orleans for only two days but it didn’t seem like there was that much heroin there must have been in the wrong spots. I deffinatly found it in Houston tho
You probably could check out their channel's about or even the video description to find their socials... im guessing this would be hard for the mother of JB
Many people saying they knew him or grew up with him, “he’s really cool” Yet he’s saying y’all picked on him. 1:56 I take it his narrative/viewpoint is slightly askew? That Mom bit was rough 😢 they did him dirty.
The thing is, yes he got picked on but so did most the kids growing up along side this kid that. Hell there was one friend of his who got picked on because of what his "step brother" did to him. This kid was just as bullied as everyone else in his "small town".
Am i the only one that heard the perpetrator with the steel toes was wearing a cheer leading outfit. Watch out everyone there's a 6'3 black male in what looks like to be a cheer leading outfit in some sort of composite boots 😂 I'm not discrediting what he's saying by any means I wasn't there so idk but that shit sound crazy and I've lived on the streets for 7+years now, I mean and if he was really as big as he said he was I don't understand how he's just gonna rush trough him with his shoulder n some ply wood lol
@@michaeltorres2456 -I’ve had plenty of experience with multiple loved ones. I don’t sit on a high horse. I am able to realize bullshit and addict talk and I’m not afraid to call it out.
Yes they are locked but you put the latch out and they stay open 🤦🏻♀️ have you never stayed in a hotel?! He said 2x “ shoulda knocked but I didn’t” so technically he is taking responsibility for what that action lead him to!
having no dad is no excuse ppl need to grow up we all have choice and to think people think drugs will make everything better ? they say don’t do drugs but yet they do drugs fk stupid

This is him then? We have to get everyone to like this so the guy sees it

You allways find the diamonds in the rough my man!!!
Prayers to this awesome dude and his other half from new Zealand ❤️
RIP to his mum xxxx
I really hope he excepts your help I've heard a lot of stories but for some reason this one really touched me and my heart ❤️😢
I really hope he can make a turn around such a genuine wholesome person.
Jake, I hope you and your wife can get clean soon. You seem like a kind guy with a beautiful heart. Go get that house. I believe in you🙏🏻
Quite similar to white underbelly awesome but more raw well done guys keep them coming big up from Denmark 🇩🇰
Praying for him and his wife. He is a good guy imo
This guy is so interesting hope 🙏 everything goes well for him
take the help Jake for you and your wife... You can do it!!
I wish you and your wife all the best. Stay strong!
This is just heart breaking..
I believe about 60% of what he says
@PabloDiablo682
Same
And why’s that? He’s a drug addict telling his story.
Yea you can tell he stretches it a little bit

Love you brother whatever you’re doing now just know momma is always with you and she loves you so dearly ❤
This is a sad story, I'm praying for him and his wife.
I'm so sorry for his loss....he had no chance in life...
Aww bless I hope he finds peace and happiness in his life 😢

Every homelss drug addict says how much their feet hurt...So do mine from working....I still have compassion for these people
Dudes jewelry so noisy I can’t imagine him stealing be so noticeable I think there’s more to how they’re surviving out there
He is right he has most likely ruined her life. If he loves her as much as he says he would make the changes and take the help. 😊
I hope he and his wife gets that little house and life they desire. You both are worth it. Im absolute sending vibes of sobriety. 😊 Im praying for you both. 🙏 😊❤

Have struggle with Injecting and smoking meth , IV Opiates ( Heroin and fentanyl, Cocaine and Alcohol addictions
Mental health struggles
Been using since i was 14 1/2 years old
Im now 25years old
Lost my youth
Ive served 2.5years prison time because of violence commited while i was on meth/scattering ( word we use in australia to mean tweaking)
Love from australia to all my fellow brothers struggling
Im on methadone 90mg daily dose so atleast i dont get dope sick for opiates anymore, but i still crave meth and fight it . Still relapse .
Love my family they are so supportive
I dont steal from them ever

Theres nothing good there for yall.

Codependency on top of all that too

What a drip !
This was really good. I was in New Orleans for only two days but it didn’t seem like there was that much heroin there must have been in the wrong spots. I deffinatly found it in Houston tho
How do I contact the man that did the interview??? Please the wife he Jake mentions is my daughter.

Did u find out?
Any update
Buds looks like tom petty 🤔
Many people saying they knew him or grew up with him, “he’s really cool” Yet he’s saying y’all picked on him. 1:56
I take it his narrative/viewpoint is slightly askew?
That Mom bit was rough 😢 they did him dirty.

The answer to your question ' how could anyone set fire to my whole life' is simply because he was a SOCIOPATH. Only a sociopath could do that
Either that or just a miserable/angry spiteful war on drugs degenerate advocate
Think u might be right idk what the fuck was going thru his head to do that to another person
Damn the youngest Hanson brother doing bad
Am i the only one that heard the perpetrator with the steel toes was wearing a cheer leading outfit.
