    Thank u for this...I am 43 and my mom was addicted to crack for over 15 years after my father was murdered in the 80's. I saw so much stuff as a kid myself I am also blessed to be here sane today.
    Thank God my mother eventually became clean and became my best friend. Regardless of her life style then she was still my mom.
    She just passed 3/28/2020 from covid-19...but best believe she was a strong woman.🙏🏾❤💖🥰👭🏽

      BIG FACTS ! judging and bad talking, makes those who do the bad talking look worse than those they talk about. praising success and glorifying the journey of overcoming, and sustaining that success as the ultimate end goal, is how we should talk about one another. a little positivity can go a long way

Im not a felon im a child of God. Im not a b.... im someone's mom..... Paul was a murderer among many other things.. God uses the lower to shame the higher.

I am 19 months sober today after fighting an addiction that was so strong and evil for 15+ years. That way of life for me is not what I want to be remembered for. I'm given this opportunity to be somebody and help another addict who needs a chance who deserves to feel hope and find peace in their minds and become a productive person. It's available to us all but you have to put in the work, freedom isn't just given to you because you want it, you have to fight to keep it. ODAAT y'all that's all we got.

I see this gentleman in the same light and have the utmost respect towards him. Solid documentary and know you, your son, mom, brother and others have someone they can be proud of brother.

      The “nerds” today are the complete opposite, from what it was before . . . . . . . the ones that don’t know about technology - the ones who know how to ‘hack’ the WiFi & finesse the cell companies & online social media sites as well as how to ‘work’ the banks & people with card scamming / skimming, are now the ‘cool’ ones & the so-called ‘nerds’ . . . . . . Oh how the times have changed right before my eyes in such a short period of time 🤣😂🤣😆🤣😂
