    I am so proud of my Mother for being brave and strong enough to share her testimony/story. I can write a book about our journey but I will just allow God to use us in His own way. Thanks "Whatz it Feel Like" for this opportunity and platform.

    I’m 18 about to be 19 and I’ve been struggling with a cocaine addiction for 6 months. I’ve been off for a little bit whenever it’s around me I lose it and just do it for weeks straight. I was first put around it because we were selling it. I found myself exhausted taking care of my wife and baby so I replace caffeine for coke. I’m really noticing the effects but I keep just doing it. I don’t feel right anymore. My nose is suffering. So are my pockets. These drugs make you disregard all the evil and keep going. It’s up to you to break the cycle. Thank you for sharing your strength. This video could be what changes my life ❤️

      swavezmartin dont worry you will get your brother back one day. Be a super uncle and stay strong for his return, that is all you can do.

      Pray for him. Be sure to process your feelings about him truthfully with someone whose judgment you trust. Continue to be an example for him. Try never to put him down. If he's around and he is being aggressive or irrational, he needs to go. Reassure him that you will support his decision to seek long-term treatment and a genuine desire and commitment 2 getting well. In a loving way, let him know that you will not support anything short of what I just described. May God bless you and keep you healthy while you are hoping for a full recovery for your brother. Staying hydrated, eating healthy, getting proper rest and being spiritually sound will give you a lot of benefits when it comes to not being dragged down or disabled on some level while grieving what a loved one is doing to destroy themselves. Be good to yourself.

    I’ve been a crack addict for 14yrs when I met my then wife. Walked on her and her girlfriend smoking crack. She got up and handed me the pipe. Instant addiction.

    I got clean & sober during the TRUMP administration as well , now the world is mine for the taking.
    I spent many, many lonely, lonely years in substance abuse.
    God bless 🇺🇸 America.
