The look on her poor dad's face when he realized how high she was is heartbreaking. Addiction trickles down to so many more people other than just the user.

@Sara Lundgren I’m sorry, but if you’re a former addict, then you should have empathy for other recovering addicts. You don’t get to decide who deserves respect for getting off drugs. People go through all sorts of things be it trauma, abuse, mental illness etc and they should all be celebrated for taking the difficult decision to get clean!
Yay!!! That’s wonderful!! I hope you have a good support system and family and friends who are proud of you. I hear people have to take it day by day. You can do it. Reward yourself for every day you stay clean. I’m praying 🙏 for your continued success and happiness in your future life 🥰
I’m so glad for that. Two years is a huge huge milestone and as I’m sure you already know each year that passes will feel better and better. It’s will never be easy but it’s the only way to truly live. Stay strong Michelle, you’re doing awesome!!
I’m the big sister to a 27 year old who lost her battle with addiction last year. Not a day goes by that I don’t mourn my baby sister. She meant the world to me and I pray for all the addicts who need recovery.
You should've seen her face trying to talk to him about her son having 2 hernia's and needed/having surgery. All he talked was his trailer, himself. You'd believe as father who had daughter born 4 month early, he'd be more understanding for a parent who was going through stress.
@Wendy, that's amazing! Bravo♥️ I can only imagine the hold you had to break free from, resist. My twin brother went to Heaven 6 years ago. I know he wouldn't choose heroin over me, my mother, his son, etc. It helps me understand the struggles other folks wrestle with from a different, more compassionate perspective than I might've otherwise. Congrats 🎈Every Single Day!🎈
It's called guilt for abandoning his family. He never paid one cent in child support, never cared about giving her money for booze...Kevin dealt her drugs and Tasha wasn't even around.
Props to her family for sharing a meal with her and not abandoning her. Not all people are lucky enough to have this kind of support - that's how she could turn her life around ❤️
Did you see how calm and sweet her family was? And understanding. Not throwing tantrums, not calling her scum, realizing they can’t just make her stop, not screaming about how worthless she is. Just showing pure unconditional love and understanding. Oh if all families treated their loved ones with this same compassion we would have more and more success stories.
Now he know how we felt watching him have alcoholic seizure, and bruised up from passing out all the time or the time he nearly killed himself by taking out a tree from passing out behind the wheel.
@@aidankhaos7687 You're the clueless one- you just proved you didn't understand anything he said. Maybe you're the one with a sub-caveman IQ. You certainly failed reading comprehension.
@@trippygypsy1998 In most cases, you have a good point. However, when times are tough the addict selfishly gets high - unlike the family who suffers constantly.
@@trippygypsy1998 you all wouldnt even imagine. I'm 5 years sober from alcohol and opiates. We do feel absolutely terrible and it causes a vicous cycle of using to get rid of the pain. It doesn't make you a bad person, we are simply trying to kill the pain and sensitivity we feel.
@@terriekurney6548 Have faith. I put my mother through unimaginable pain and fear while I was an addict. Im so sorry your baby doesn't love himself enough right now to do whats best, keep being there for him and showing him you care , but do not enable and baby him. Hang in there mama
Dang she reminds me of how I used to look and act with the nod-talking. Trying to act sober but just being too dang high. I’m so lucky I haven’t overdosed I think I probably came close. I thought it was okay cause I made money & didn’t use a needle but I know im powerless & have no control. 4 years clean❤️ One day at a time
You overdosed. When you throw up it's overdose even.. You know that "calm wired but caaalm" feeling after you had massive panic attack on drugs ....that means you just overdosed
@@raineivy6146 your right, i know exactly what your explaining. I remember calling my mother and then my boyfriend to come home cause i just knew something was happening, they both thought it was a panic attack, so did I .. but looking back on it- it was an overdose for sure- I took a dose that was way too much for me to handle. Its so scary not knowing what youre putting in your body but feeling like you have to. Its such a blessing to be free 🙏❤
@@AA-nb8vw You are extremely ignorant. I hope you never experience any kind of addiction or mental struggle, and that none of your loved ones do either.
Jan 5th 2020 made 4 years I've been clean from being an IV user of meth and I'm praying to god she gets clean. This made me cry I'm heart broken for her.
Didn't last long she went right back out on the streets. This was filmed in 2016 and she's been prostituting and shooting up ever since. there's a pic of her floating around. She looks rough.
I love it when the addicted person accepts treatment willingly. That typically means they are doing it, not just for their family, but because they're finally ready to do it for themselves.❤️
I have been Chelans sister at so many family dinners. The anxiety is life long. We love them regardless. We all have addictions. Some are just more obvious or painful. I pray for all who struggle with trauma... codependent tehdencies... abandonment... self abotage... and abuse. It is not your fault. Rip to my brother, 11.27.19. Every day, I pray for those who want to get clean. Every day, I pray for those who want to just die already. If you are still here it is not too late. You only get one life so don't spend it perpetually punishing yourself. Please.
The way she tried to get away from her sister and dad when they approached her on the street and how the sis was like “wait! Can we get some coffee or something?” Made me so sad, I feel like I don’t even know my family anymore. My mom calls and my baby sister worries about me and says “mom knows there’s something going on with you she just doesn’t want to press you and make you angry” this all hits home really hard
Reach out. Not one second is promised to us, and you are lucky to have them reaching out and if you reach back honestly you will get back on track. You are a good and redeemable person.
Chelan has nothing to do with him because how he treated our mom (abandoning her then draining their bank account to spend on himself and no care about how his daughters welfare or hers.)...and how treat me growing up, my half-sibs. I did not appear in the episode (same with our mom) cause we knew Chelan well enough to know she wasn't ready and was only doing it for $10,000. She never stopped using and has even said she doesn't want too. She zero relationship with her 3 sons, who she's ignored since having them taken into foster care, unknown to us until later on. Plus Tasha didn't even know us growing up, and Kevin was a coke dealer and was in jail a few times for several things.
I lost my high school girlfriend to heroin...8 years together and not a day goes by I don't wish she had asked someone for help. Dont be a statistic. Don't lose your best friend or family.
it was so heart breaking to see her family so hurt and to watch her use in front of them. but it was heartwarming to hear her so excited about feeling better and seeing them all smile. very proud of her! she looks amazing
It's so nice when they go to rehab without throwing a fit. Her humility was her key to success. Those without it are easy prey for the demon of addiction.
My son casey been hooked for more than 15 years i love him so much and he beats me. This is hard to watch i wish for intervention for him all i can do is pray
Gordon Kahl there’s so much shame with addiction. We know we have let everybody and their dog down a million times. He just doesn’t want to do that anymore. My family doesn’t ask me. They can tell by the way I look
Cynthia Blanchard You should call the police. I know you love him but come on! I’m an addict and I put my f*kn hands on nobody! And if I did I would fully expect to go straight to jail. You’re allowing him to treat you like that. It might be the best thing for him. He can detox in there. He will have no choice
I frequently come back and watch episodes of the show because it reminds me where I used to be. I am almost 6 months clean and could not be more grateful. When you’ve been at the lowest of the low you are so much more appreciative of the highlights of life. If you’re wondering if you have a substance-abuse problem, you do. There are so many resources out there but you have to want it. Nobody can want it enough for you. I literally have a life beyond my wildest dreams. This is your sign. Take responsibility for your life and your actions and sober up. I promise you, the world will change from a painful, dark place to a beautiful life filled with amazing opportunities. I promise you your purpose has not been lost. It’s just buried beneath the drugs right now.
Two years free for that cycle and I couldn't be any more happy. So many people don't understand addicts and are so quick to judge them. Most of them deep down are really good people it's just the addiction that makes them do terrible things in order to not be really sick. Seeing her like that and seeing her dad look at her broke my heart. 😔
I love these stories of people getting sober! Lost my brother to an accidental heroin overdose and had to find him face down in his own vomit and it’s something that’ll haunt me until I die
People don’t understand addicts aren’t scary monsters and evil people. They’re honor students, military veterans, cousins, best friends, sisters, ... they’re people who got taken over by the demon that is addiction 😔
i was an amazing student and life just pushed me to the point of alcoholism. i got kicked out at 16, and chose to put myself in rehab. people look down on me for it, but it was my pain that pressured me sm
The reason addicts are viewed that way is because that's what we're taught from a young age. Drugs are bad and therefore the people that do them must be bad. I hated myself and felt so guilty when I first fell into my addiction. Took me awhile to accept myself and realize that I wasn't a bad person just because I was using.
The addiction is evil and changes people. I’ve watched my brother go from honor student and great dad, to someone I don’t know who steals hurts people, and takes pleasure in getting people to shoot up for the first time. It’s sick. He’s not a good person anymore.
The look on her fathers face and the pure pain in his eyes broke me down. That hurt my feeling cause my father has been with hod for 10+ years now and it still hurts. God bless to all those that are clean and lord help the ones trying to get clean.
I've been clean from opiates for 18 months. Some days are easier than others but im so happy to have made the progress i have so far. My heart aches for the unfortunate people still in the battle and losing to it everyday.
The hardest part of my sobriety was realizing what I had put my parents through. God i hope the best for all of those who battle addiction but also the families of those suffering.
That had me literally cringing so bad I had to fast forward. That was simply awful 😔 I literally have never been quite that sad and uncomfortable while watching someone high. My goodness....we didn't need DARE in school we needed this show.....will make you never want to even fantasize about the glamor of drugs.
Dare made things worse in my opinion.. instead of being completely honest about what drugs are they almost made them something mysterious and taboo. Atleast that's how I felt.
All the bad stuff aside, you can tell she still had a heart and a bit of the real sober her showed through when her sister told her she had left her "stuff" out on the counter in her dads bathroom and was visibly worried that she did that and immediately went in there and put it away
4 years ago in Oct the love of my life and my best friend died from an overdose and it breaks my heart to see anyone in active addiction. I wish I could wave a wand and make it all go away and make everyone clean and stay clean. ** if you’re in active addiction and don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep pushing!! You got this! I don’t know you but I pray for you nightly, I pray that all addicts get clean!! ♥️ You’re stronger than your demons and I have faith in you!!
They weren’t casual about it. The point of it all is to get the addict to agree to get better. If you chastise them, they feel cornered, and you wind up chasing them off, the chances of them following through and showing up for that final interview, which is the intervention unbeknownst to the addict, is slim to none. Keep them in your sights and as safe as possible until they agree to accept the help they’re being offered and so desperately need.
What a blessing it is for her to recieve support and help...and then to accept it!!!This made my heart smile with so much love towards them and these people are strangers!
The best ones are the people who know they need help, and agree to go to treatment knowing they do, but just needed that little extra push in order to do so. I love seeing them not have to think about going without a second thought.
Fantastic work by all ♥️♥️ Even tho this was all about Chelan, I struggled to watch her dad realise her addiction was worse than he thought.. family’s suffer as much as the addict and I believe Chelan wanted this help as much as her family. Chelan, what an achievement 💪🏼💪🏼 Please use this footage of you ever consider a relapse ♥️ Look at your own self in this footage to gain strength and look at your family’s broken hearts when they had to witness this, you all deserve peace, especially your dad ♥️ I can’t ever imagine as a parent having to watch and accept this ♥️
i take dabs like 4-5 times a day and i had really bad after effects from it but i started again cuz its really not bad for u but if it affected u im happy u have been clean❤👾🍖
I love it that she was willing to listen to her family speaking on how her addiction is affecting them and she took the treatment im so happy for her !♡
Its so hard to come off drugs but I'm so happy I finally changed and got the help I needed. I am happy to say I am 6 years clean. I am not going to lie it is hard and for me its hard when my depression is acting up but with the support I have now I am able to work through those thoughts
This episode was one of the hardest for me to watch. You know that she used to be a completely different person before her disease, and her family members were there, still including her, and obviously sadder than we were as viewers. I actually came back to watch this clip because of how much this episode affected me when I watched it in its entirety years ago. I just wish the best for everybody we saw here, and I know that things are extremely rough, and were-so, especially throughout the pandemic. I really wish everybody in this video well.
Drugs are nothing more than a symptom of the real problems. When you get sober, you become clear minded enough to tackle the underlying issues. If you deal with the the right way, you eliminate the need for the destructive coping mechanism, which is usually drugs.
I had to rewind to make sure I'd heard her age right, she looks a good decade older than 29 (and I'm being generous) As everyone else said, her father broke my heart
been off smoking dope for 4.5 years now and never going back. I only used for 9 months but I started getting extremely suicidal comedowns and that was it for me

The dad face when she came to eat dinner broke my heart
Yeah, the way he looks at the cameraman, too... killed me
I exited the video, it was too much but I came back.
It’s so beyond sad they’re an amazing family for staying with her and supporting her
His heart must be broken.

@Sara Lundgren I’m sorry, but if you’re a former addict, then you should have empathy for other recovering addicts. You don’t get to decide who deserves respect for getting off drugs. People go through all sorts of things be it trauma, abuse, mental illness etc and they should all be celebrated for taking the difficult decision to get clean!
That's the first thing I noticed,her father's face.he looked absolutely shocked by the reality of the problem.
True
I have an incredibly hard time relating to the selfishness
Ill be clean two years off dope September 25 and i am so thankful to be alive
Keep it up! Girl power!
Congratulation. Proud of you.

The look on her daddys face broke my heart

Proud of you. That’s an amazing thing! Sending you love and strength.

I feel bad for the father
Same
yep
He looked so confused.

I feel bad for him too. I hope at the end of the episode she changed her ways and now she is not doing any drugs.
Props to her family for sharing a meal with her and not abandoning her. Not all people are lucky enough to have this kind of support - that's how she could turn her life around ❤️
Poor dad :( he was so excited about her coming over

Now he know how we felt watching him have alcoholic seizure, and bruised up from passing out all the time or the time he nearly killed himself by taking out a tree from passing out behind the wheel.
29’ Jesus Christ she looked 49 in her addiction
Wow a believer in Jesus Christ x
I was going to mention how she looks way older! DRUGS 💉😷💊
Said the same
Seriously. It’s crazy once she got clean she looked her age again somehow too tho
U aint kidding would never think she was 29.

Watching her dad see her like that is heartbreaking!!! I watched my mom addicted to meth for years and feel like I know his pain
5 years clean and love my life but I’m still dealing with consequences. Just remember if you are struggling, you can survive
I love how open and willing she was to go to treatment. 💚💚💚!!
I love these stories of people getting sober! Lost my brother to an accidental heroin overdose and had to find him face down in his own vomit and it’s something that’ll haunt me until I die
What pain it must be to see your child like that.
i wanna hug the dad so bad, he is so sweet and caring omg.
People don’t understand addicts aren’t scary monsters and evil people. They’re honor students, military veterans, cousins, best friends, sisters, ... they’re people who got taken over by the demon that is addiction 😔
i was an amazing student and life just pushed me to the point of alcoholism. i got kicked out at 16, and chose to put myself in rehab. people look down on me for it, but it was my pain that pressured me sm
The reason addicts are viewed that way is because that's what we're taught from a young age. Drugs are bad and therefore the people that do them must be bad. I hated myself and felt so guilty when I first fell into my addiction. Took me awhile to accept myself and realize that I wasn't a bad person just because I was using.
The addiction is evil and changes people. I’ve watched my brother go from honor student and great dad, to someone I don’t know who steals hurts people, and takes pleasure in getting people to shoot up for the first time. It’s sick. He’s not a good person anymore.
@@namastay1111 its not him... your brother is still in there. He's just been silenced by addiction. It is a literal demon.
No such things as demons
I have been cleaning from crack for 11 years going on 12 years now I love to wake up clean every day
I am so happy for you. Live your best life! Be blessed!
Amen
Chellan look so beautiful when she’s sober omg her face is glowing and she look happy
I’m happy for you. You have been sober since 2012. Congratulations! Fight to stay clean.
Gordon Kahl ummm did you miss the sober part ?
Gordon Kahl that make absolutely no sense . You good ?
@Gordon Kahl wouldn't she be gettin high now while she has money lol
Wow she changed soo much , i love this show . ❤❤
The look on her fathers face and the pure pain in his eyes broke me down. That hurt my feeling cause my father has been with hod for 10+ years now and it still hurts. God bless to all those that are clean and lord help the ones trying to get clean.
The dad reading the letter was absolutely heartbreaking
Her response to the intervention... she wanted to change .. she just needed the help ❤️
I've been clean from opiates for 18 months. Some days are easier than others but im so happy to have made the progress i have so far. My heart aches for the unfortunate people still in the battle and losing to it everyday.
I could never do that to my dad... so heartbreaking.
The fact that she was ready. is amazing. She didnt doubt anything. she did so well Good for her.
It's incredible how different someone can look when they get on that road to recovery
The hardest part of my sobriety was realizing what I had put my parents through. God i hope the best for all of those who battle addiction but also the families of those suffering.
Love Seeing The Successful People That Intervention helped Get Through their addiction and their families.
God bless them most Abundantly ♥️♥️♥️
Oh wow, her poor dad. At that dinner, he just looked so shell-shocked, sad, and bewildered. So glad he has his other daughter and SIL to help him. 💜
3:20 - 4:20 I feel so bad for laughing as she tried to act normal during dinner😂😂😭
@Sarah Hulsey 😂
Made me laugh so hard too especially her Dad’s facial expressions. 💀
@Joe Buden Me??
Yes I tell my son you can't be normal high. You become extra and weird. Jesus praying for him getting clean asap.
@Joe Buden Dont be stupid and stop your tripp of guilt whit the people you dont know.
To think I broke my parents heart for 28 years this breaks my heart to see her dad heartbroken
That had me literally cringing so bad I had to fast forward. That was simply awful 😔 I literally have never been quite that sad and uncomfortable while watching someone high. My goodness....we didn't need DARE in school we needed this show.....will make you never want to even fantasize about the glamor of drugs.
Dare made things worse in my opinion.. instead of being completely honest about what drugs are they almost made them something mysterious and taboo. Atleast that's how I felt.

Going on 3 years clean from heroin and fentanyl. I am blessed.
When I saw her I thought she was 50s... Laughed out loud when she said she was 29! That junk steals your vitality and your soul.
OMFG I have watched nearly every intervention, but the look on the father's face in this one was just heartbreaking!
All the bad stuff aside, you can tell she still had a heart and a bit of the real sober her showed through when her sister told her she had left her "stuff" out on the counter in her dads bathroom and was visibly worried that she did that and immediately went in there and put it away
4 years ago in Oct the love of my life and my best friend died from an overdose and it breaks my heart to see anyone in active addiction. I wish I could wave a wand and make it all go away and make everyone clean and stay clean.
** if you’re in active addiction and don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep pushing!! You got this! I don’t know you but I pray for you nightly, I pray that all addicts get clean!! ♥️ You’re stronger than your demons and I have faith in you!!
i am so sorry for your loss❤
To be so casual about your family member doing heroin in the bathroom is crazy. They’re better family members than me because..... no.
My mom would call the cops on me for sure.
They weren’t casual about it. The point of it all is to get the addict to agree to get better.
If you chastise them, they feel cornered, and you wind up chasing them off, the chances of them following through and showing up for that final interview, which is the intervention unbeknownst to the addict, is slim to none.
Keep them in your sights and as safe as possible until they agree to accept the help they’re being offered and so desperately need.
@@taral.murray5169 thank you. It’s like people have never seen the show before.
What a blessing it is for her to recieve support and help...and then to accept it!!!This made my heart smile with so much love towards them and these people are strangers!
I could never imagine my daughter like this I don’t wish it on anyone’s baby
The best ones are the people who know they need help, and agree to go to treatment knowing they do, but just needed that little extra push in order to do so. I love seeing them not have to think about going without a second thought.
Her poor daddy...that just breaks my heart.
Fantastic work by all ♥️♥️
Even tho this was all about Chelan, I struggled to watch her dad realise her addiction was worse than he thought.. family’s suffer as much as the addict and I believe Chelan wanted this help as much as her family.
Chelan, what an achievement 💪🏼💪🏼
Please use this footage of you ever consider a relapse ♥️
Look at your own self in this footage to gain strength and look at your family’s broken hearts when they had to witness this, you all deserve peace, especially your dad ♥️
I can’t ever imagine as a parent having to watch and accept this ♥️
Iv been clean from weed for 2 day’s Staying strong 💪🏿
Amen
Stop...that is nothing.
🥴😂
@@thaspacegoatae3419 so are you 👏🏿
i take dabs like 4-5 times a day and i had really bad after effects from it but i started again cuz its really not bad for u but if it affected u im happy u have been clean❤👾🍖
I love how willing and ready she was to get help
Bless her sweet father’s heart ❤️
April 18th, 2021 is me being 1 year clean off of Xanax! Had an addiction for about 5 1/2 years and I am so thankful and grateful to be alive!
How long before you really felt normal?.I was booze and coke. Benzos and opiates take a toll
She looks better now!! So happy to see another addict recover!! So many die to soon!!
This hurts because i have a brother who is battling addiction right now, but all i can do is pray that he finds his way to a healthier life
Seeing other addicts get better encourages me to wage my own battle for my, so far, 33 month sobriety.
Congratulations! Keep it up!
I love it that she was willing to listen to her family speaking on how her addiction is affecting them and she took the treatment im so happy for her !♡
So happy for her decided to get clean!
I went to high-school with Chelan. I wish her the best I'm so saddened
Must have been sad on hrt dad to watch
Its so hard to come off drugs but I'm so happy I finally changed and got the help I needed. I am happy to say I am 6 years clean. I am not going to lie it is hard and for me its hard when my depression is acting up but with the support I have now I am able to work through those thoughts
I’m so happy she chose to get sober. Her family is amazing!
she looks so much better! her eyes are brighter, her skin is glowing, amazing!
I feel bad for the Father you can tell he is taking hard
This episode was one of the hardest for me to watch. You know that she used to be a completely different person before her disease, and her family members were there, still including her, and obviously sadder than we were as viewers. I actually came back to watch this clip because of how much this episode affected me when I watched it in its entirety years ago. I just wish the best for everybody we saw here, and I know that things are extremely rough, and were-so, especially throughout the pandemic. I really wish everybody in this video well.
That food looked good, made me hungry
This is very sad. The way her dad watched her at the dinner table. It made me tear up. This is very unfortunate.
It can leave a huge impact on someone, drugs aren't worth it.
Drugs are nothing more than a symptom of the real problems. When you get sober, you become clear minded enough to tackle the underlying issues. If you deal with the the right way, you eliminate the need for the destructive coping mechanism, which is usually drugs.
I had to rewind to make sure I'd heard her age right, she looks a good decade older than 29 (and I'm being generous)
As everyone else said, her father broke my heart
Lmfao! The before and after photo are the same. Shes just smiling in the after😂
been off smoking dope for 4.5 years now and never going back. I only used for 9 months but I started getting extremely suicidal comedowns and that was it for me
Watching the dad breaks my heart
