Thirteen days sober. I hope this beautiful girl chooses Life for her and for her baby boy!❤👶
She has a baby?? Yikes
She looks like a baby. Well hope her kid has same blue eyes@@rumham7466
@@rumham7466yeah, you should watch the clip! 😂
Becca, you say that you stopped using when you learned you were pregnant for your child! Know this, you also did it for you!! If and when that craving comes on think about your son! You got this girl! ❤ Thanks for sharing your story!
You block those “friends” so they can’t reach you. I tell that to my daughter (alcoholic) all the time. You need to be clean for your kid!
Nobody wants to hang out with an alcoholic, but an alcoholic. It’s a difficult place to be when you burn every bridge you have and are left with nobody around but family members who are part of the problem as well. 🤷🏼♀️
You are a rare bird indeed. You are wise beyond your years and wise beyond your past addiction. You are a gifted and eloquent speaker who has the ability to see past the nowhere of addiction and actually foresee a connection to a future free of addiction ~ and realize it is doable . As long as you continue to believe in yourself, you absolutely possess the skills, strength and fortitude to become a fantastic counselor capable of helping many people break the downward spiral of addiction and achieve new hope for a better future free of drugs. Sending you love and light that your strength prevails and you continue to meet challenges head on and you never, ever, find yourself on that self destructive, life limiting, death tempting, path again. Your son has much to be proud of in his mom. Thank you for sharing your story 🌺
@Poppyseed0990facts 01-29-08 here i had enough wasn't willing to fall any further then i had.. i am eternally grateful i was raised how i was and i didn't want to embarrass my family anymore and wasnr willing to go to jail i put myself in rehab 5 hrs away and thankfully never looked back!

Oh I remember her father's testimony.

And I don't know if you read this, Becca....but you re gonna make this!! You re very strong and brave!!! Much love and kudos from Belgium!!❤
13 days is still an accomplishment. You keep fighting! Do it for yourself, your son. One step at a time , one day at a time. Praying for you and your baby. We are rooting for you 🎉❤
It's a dreadful pandemic! I pray for all addicts worldwide.😢😢
Change your cell number. Have nothing to do with no goodniks. You don't need many friends, just one or two decent people is enough. You are intelligent so continue.🎉🎉
This young lady stole my heart! I’m praying for you and your family! Keep up the hard work, it’s worth it!

Becca-it’s within you to live the sober life that you desire. You deserve it, your son deserves it. He needs you more than you know. Prayers to you, may you continue your path of recovery 🙏🏾
Dearest Becca, i wish i was there by your side at the time you spoke about your recovery.
I would give you the warmest hug for not passing away.
I also wish i was there to stop you from taking this dangerous drug.
Im sincerely praying for you hun.
I know we don't know each other and never met, but wanted you to know that I Love You ❤️
One thing don't ever say never again. One day at time. Always remember one day at a time
You will HAVE to fight EVERY DAY!! I lost my son to fentanyl....My son HATED his addiction..He was given pain meds for a accident that he had and from then on it was a nightmare.I was and always be a addict ...Even though I have been clean for a very long time!! I was very open with my kids ..I prayed they would not follow my path...My son left 4 children! I know that you can do this!!
going on 5 years from heroin. i have 2 children and i am beyond blessed working with other parents in recovery or still using having babies born with NAS. God is gewd!
This young lady is very self aware.She's not blaming anyone else for her addiction. I hope she succeeds in her recovery journey! You are very smart young lady.I wish you and your baby the very best.Good luck.Blessed be!
always remember a sons first real Love is his Mother so any time you ever think about going back to drugs think of your sons feelings for you , don’t let him down.
You are very brave and beautiful! I wish you t best of luck with your sobriety journey. Just remember that there is hope and we do recover ♥️
One brave and smart young woman. I wish the very best for her.
such a strong baby girl. if no one has ever told you i’m PROUD OF YOU. keep going ❤
Kudos to you.
You are wise BEYOND your years dear. I’m 3 years clean from opiates myself and I felt like you were speaking straight to me and I’m 37. “Be there but basically gone. “ and how you said you knew you were an addict and it hit you but that you didn’t care you couldn’t bring yourself to care. I felt that. Omg so many will be saved from you sharing your pain. Thank you for being brave. Please hang on to this spark baby. Your future is so bright it blinds me.
These people are not your friends. They are your enemy.. resist...you got all the reasons to live...your little boy. GOD BLESS YOU...GOD IS ALWAYS READY TO. HELP...ONLY ASK ...
It can be done! I got two years clean now and I feel alive again. I was on meth and fentanyl all day every day! Almost died a few times and almost lost everything. Stay strong 💪
Keep building. Your son needs you. You can do it.
don’t look back always use your wise mind you are very wise at such a young age. you got this girl you and your son are gonna be fine just stay thinking the way you do, don’t go back to old friends and family members who are still battling this addiction,it will only put those bad thoughts in your mind. stay strong!!
She should be proud of her sobriety for herself and her son. Best of luck! I hope you stay sober forever. You seem to have your head on straight this time.
I'm so happy for you that you're getting your life straightened out, stay sober and strong for the sake of your little boy he needs you. Your a beautiful young lady you got your whole life ahead of you.
I hope Becca is still doing well.
Keep it up baby girl ! Day 13 is just as good as day 35558. Clean is clean. I’m clean today also. Thank god for that ! And yes, I’ve been in your shoes but your shoes have walked a different mile and I’m so proud of the road your on !!! ❤️👍💯🙏
I know those places in Wyandotte. It’s a hard place to be. Stay strong, never give up. You can make it.
Stay strong and believe in yourself. Love yourself.
Stay sober Rabecca. You're worth it. Take it from this 41 year old, the drugs aren't worth it. Even alcohol.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #GODWILLDOIT 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You’re gorgeous if you see this keep going “We are Proud of you” keep pushing and Block those friends because it’s hard getting clean when those people from your past try and drag you back in!!!
Praying for you 🙏 It will not be easy,but you can do this!!
I pray you keep going stay strong

28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Amen ❤
I hope you continue to succeed in your recovery.. You have been through so much!! I hope you can get counseling and get the help you need to move forward in your life for you and your baby..
How a young lady can get in such condition? More love and Truth and less arrogance
Becca you are an inspiration. Hope you get the life you deserve which i know will be a fantastic one. ❤
You go girl, a lot of support from Italy ❤❤❤❤
You're a very mature young lady I'm proud of you for owning up despite all the bad that's happened and you should be proud of yourself and block anyone out of your life who wants to get you back on that stuff and doesn't support your decision or respect it because you really don't even need to be around it or people that does it but you're a smart girl and know that.
Good luck with your journey of being clean ❤. The chain of addiction; no matter how thick and strong it is, can be broken. Make sure you do all the steps of recovery, it is very important to successfully overcome addiction
You have a great outlook! Congratulations on getting sober!
You should be Very Proud of yourself. Your going to be a Fantastic Mother and Role model for your son. You'll be in recovery for the rest of your life, but I look at you and see a Strong Soul and I know you got this girl.
The only advice I'd give you , Run , run far away from the familiarity of friends, friends ect. You need a Clean Start somewhere.
I'm saying prayers for you! Keep strong for yourself & your son. 🙏💪
God bless you let the Lord be your and your son's strength in Jesus mighty name
Keep it going. You’ve got this crowd now. ✌️
Sending you love and light sweet strong soul❤
You are incredibly brave and intelligent and lovely. You have the ability and the strength to change this cycle. I saw the video with your Mom and Dad and I think you are right, if you continue on the path of active addiction, you will kill them both. You are worth far more than that. ONE HOUR AT A TIME, then one day at a time and so on. I would have given anything for children, was never possible for me, please continue on a positive path and be the difference to your child, your self and probably hundreds or thousands of others in the future. XOX From Ireland
You can do!!!! And yes stay away from the old game because they will take you back to it. I promise. You live your life for you and your baby boy.
Doesn’t the baby daddy have a name.? Seriously so sad on so many levels especially for that child.
I have 2 sons who use 1 is heroin the other is meth this is my biggest fear.
Prayers
Those people who's first reaction upon trying opioids is them feeling like they're home might have been exposed in utero and have a chronic imbalance. Methadone etc harm reduction can do a lot of good there, giving people space to grow until they taper from that.
Becca please watch pastor stephen darby - fighting my body and generational curses. We battle not with flesh and blood but principalities of wickedness in high places. Life changer. Free. Jesus.
Hello Becca , iam Sunny from Germany . Your History make me so sick sry i hope you get the right Way along , My old school englsich is not so good exuse me please thanx do you spoken your i send love taft and pray from Germany ♥♥♥♥
I really like her spirit. Her calling is to help other people because she can relate. Godspeed ❤💞🫶🏻🫶🏾🙌🏾
You speak so eloquently, change your phone number, cut all contact with people with addiction.Think about to go back to study and maybe have a career later on as a counselor.
I myself was a former addict and was addicted to heroin/ fentanyl for over 7 years basically I wasted my whole mid twenties destroying my life, I even lost custody of my 4 year old son. It took me catching a felony to change my life, I didn’t want to end up in prison. I’d already lost custody of my son and my friends around me started dying. I finally got sober and have been sober from opiates for 6 1/2 years. It gets better as the time passes. Take it one day at a time, change your phone number and surround yourself with sober people. Misery loves company and most of your so called friends really don’t give a crap about you! The one who needs you is your son!! Hope you continue to stay sober, good luck!
Proud of you and may I add to be of service to others. Contribution beyond yourself keeps your life in check and builds a strong foundation to life balances and success.
Good!!! You got this❤❤❤
Such wise and true words...congratulations on your sobriety ❤❤
❤
Becca spoke alot of truth during her testimony and the main point of addiction being mental was one of the major factors.
Becca, if you’re ever struggling, come back to this comment section and read all the love, support, and prayers you have. You’re stronger than you know, and loved🤍
Bingo! That right there.
BECCA .... just one word :
R . E . S . P . E . C . T . !!!
Big hug for BECCA and all addicts all over the world..
from an addict !!!
Sending LOVE from
NAPLES / ITALY !!! 🙏
Girl you are so strong for doing this & for all you went through with your baby’s father!! Be there for your son please dont allow Fentanyl to take both of his parents!!! My heart breaks for you both!!
We think, oh your so strong, strength has nothing to do with it, desperate is more like it ….broken….that’s what leads us to the light 💡

Becca you have taken the first step in your recovery, take it one day at a time. And find a sponsor who can be open and directly honest with you. I will be praying for your recovery. I have been where you are now, I have been clean for 21 years. You got this 🙏💗🙏
You are so beautiful Becca and you can have a wonderful life free from any drugs. I come from generations of alcoholics and ended up one myself. I’ve been sober 30+ years now, I lived and breathed AA for the first 5 years, I had a tough sponsor and would have done anything to stay sober. I lost my mum, two brothers to suicide and finally my husband of 38 years and even though the grief was excruciating I refused to pick up a drink or drug. My husband was sober 22 years when he died suddenly from cancer and his goal was to die still married and sober, which he achieved. No matter how painful it is to feel the grief I will not go back and do that to myself. I suggest you change your phone number and get around people in strong recovery, maybe even see a grief counsellor. You have so much to offer this world beautiful one. I’ll be praying for you.🥰🙏🏼
I just watched her sister's story. 4 people in the family have died. I pray she is successful in her recovery.
OH this is that family 💔 heartbreaking ❤️🩹
What's the name of it I'd like to watch it?
@@tinamarie1948 I think this might be it, haven't watch it yet, but I youtubed-it with the help of Becca's surname
I pray you keep putting in the work sweet girl. I’ve been clean almost 8 years off of IV heroin and actually anything I could put in a needle. Getting clean is easy….STAYING CLEAN is the hard part. You only have to change one thing. That’s EVERYTHING. Reach out and find people who have been clean for years. Do what the “old timers” tell you to do. Even if you don’t want to. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it ❤
She looks so young .., but she’s bright and positive despite everything…hope everything works out well for her
Becca, You are such a smart, beautiful young lady. You are right about those withdraws, they are worse than awful. I know how hard it is but you can do it. You have your whole life ahead of you and a beautiful baby to raise. I'm so sorry you have lost so many people you love to this poison. Hearing that you lost your baby's dad to this is so heart breaking. I'm praying for you 🙏 Make a beautiful life for you and your baby. You can do it!
I’m so proud of you baby girl me and ur dad love u sooooo much u are incredibly strong and this is so hard for you to get through but remember you can get through anything❤ stay strong carry God with you everywhere
Love you all!!! ❤
I have been clean since 2016 from everything. Opiate addiction is the worst. You have to walk away from everything you know. Your friends, even family if they are associated with drugs. I have lost everyone in my life, I have no friends, I try to meet new friends and they end up being users. It’s really hard for me being 39 yrs old, ppl my age In California are just drug addicts. But I am content now being alone with my daughter and just enjoying a clean life.
Becca it was a honor to meet you the other day❤️ I’m so proud of you!! You got this baby girl ❤️🫶🫂
If the lady knew he was gone and the EMTs knew he was gone and that resuscitation efforts would not work, then I believe them. I understand you wanted it to be possible, but they see this a lot and know what their seeing.
No offense, but the paramedics knew he was gone. It wasn't that they "didn't even try," they knew he was beyond hope. Not trying to be unkind to you, but your boyfriend was gone - medics do everything they can if there's even a molecule of hope that there may be some life in a person.
What you have on your side is that you're young, and. you have a son you can raise to break the cycle of addiction in your family. I'm sorry for what you've been through. Getting clean is a process and can take a few times - don't lose hope, even when you feel hopeless.
Becca, you are incredibly strong and brave. Keep going. You have a beautiful life ahead. ❤
Such a heartbreaking story. This is why we need the stuff at the border to stop. Those migrants and the drug cartels smuggle this horrible drug into our country and people like Becca pay the price.
Thank you for sharing your story.
More than that, we need to educate and place what’s needed in the community to prevent people from turning to drugs.
Stay away from all your old "friends". Change your number. Surround yourself with sober people and people who want you to succeed. One day at a time. You can do this. There is so much joy out there waiting for you. You have a good life waiting for you don't let it go.
The mental part gets easier as time goes by. Surround yourself with like minded people who share your goals. You could positively impact a lot of people including your younger siblings if you decide to go into drug counseling. Hope you keep giving it your best to stay clean
If this girl chooses to do something positive with her life, I don't think ANYONE or ANYTHING could stand in her way!!! If you see this, you're RESILIENT, and I hope YOU make something great of yourself!!!
Keep on keeping on Becca,when you have a bad moment.,l,walk out side..look up..and ask for divine intervention. So Proud of you..sharing your story. You can and you will overcome this.❤
Thank you for sharing and the best of luck on your journey!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Becca our prayers are with you and your son!!! Remember always Shout for help!!!
You are a strong young lady and great Mum!!! God’s Blessings on you and yours + 🙏🙏🙏
I'm So Thankful for This Channel❤Thank You From Burkesville Ky🥰
Good for you! I am 7 years clean with the help of seboxone. But i would not be here if it were not for the seboxone because i would have relapses without it. I tried getting clean for 17 years and failed miserably. If you relapse and need help dont feel bad. People are less likely to relapse with that specific medications. It really saved my life. I am praying for you dear little one. 🙏. And again dont ever be ashamed if you need that extra help to stay clean. At least with the seboxone you have a chance. You know you wont overdose and die.
I've been on subs for 7 years too!! It's been nothing but lifesaving. I'm so glad that this evil drug fentanyl wasn't around when I was deep into my addiction, this is a whole new devil attacking the next generation. Theres no trying this and trying that nowadays, it's down to you try and you die. I wish you all the best!
I tried for years to get clean and never could stay that way I now have 6 months clean with the help of Suboxone. it takes that nagging constant craving away enough for me to do the real tough work and start to heal from my trauma and issues. congrats to u❤
SUBOXONE
You are a gift. Don’t forget that…❤️
Good on you Becca 💪👏 you're such a wise and articulated young lady and you're right to be proud of yourself and I believe you'll succeed and have a great life!!!! There's a saying that misery loves misery so stay strong willed and let no-one or nothing drag you back to that living hell. I'm truly, truly so so sorry for what you and your family are going through , broke my heart watching your mum and dad , really got to me💔💔 just remember that you have got your loved ones here and in heaven to talk too and cheer you on!! Go and live your best life with your boy🙏🙏🤍🤎🤍🤎
Becca, you’re so realistic!!! Stand strong 💪🏼 in your recovery & be there for your son 👩👦Sending you Hugs!!!
Wow, I’m so impressed with her- introspective, smart and beautiful soul
She is sooooo strong 💪🏿
I also want to say you are so wise beyond your years! You WILLL be an amazing counselor to help others see hope! The generation needs you! You are needed!!!!!!!
You are a very young woman with a long life ahead of you, full of surprises and good things. Although your face reflects the sadness that memories come to us, (because we hide them, but they remain there), over time, that look, that expression, will change for the better.
It is horrible to withdraw but you deserve so much more in your life. Drugs institutions and death are the only places those pills will take you. 😢🙏🏻 prayers for you and your sweet son. Your family needs you.
We do recover.
🤗🙏🏻💌
Change phone # move if possible so you can asap. For your child..... YOU CAN BE A GOOD PERSON AND MOM.
The word „never“ scared the heck out of me. When is never over, you know? Since then I work with „not today, maybe tomorrow“ and it works for me 14 years now in April. Thank god for it❤
Thank you for sharing these, they could be helpful for people ready to quit.
Go girl, you are doing great ❤️
I’m from Topeka. There’s some really amazing people in the recovery world here ❤️
Yes. We talked to a few.
NEVER STOP TRYING!! My son has been clean for 8 yrs and he said its a constant call to go back to it. His daughter is 8 yrs old and yes he quit for her as well as himself
Im the same with soda
Thank you for honesty , thank you for your courage, THANK YOU YOU ARE A STRONG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN You’re spirit is so strong and you deserve happiness ❤
Because, I don’t know you, but I’m so proud of you. I wish and your son good health, happiness and good fortune. Keep going my lovely. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
This girl is gorgeous and amazing. Well done on getting clean and breaking the cycle ❤
