Yall, watching her in active addiction on mob wives is the reason I am afraid of pills to this day and make sure not to ever take meds I don't need. I was falling into all kinds of addictions because of abuse, and she was a cautionary tale for me. I'm sure she saved my life because I was spiraling. Thank you for your courage and transparency!
Michael's words echo volume in terms of questioning the reason (s) people use drugs. My elderly uncle is 77 years old. He is a drug addict. His eldest daughter died followed by the death of his wife, and then the death of his youngest daughter. He suffered three losses which resulted in the end of his family life. People don't understand what led to his drug abuse. Since 2015, I've been explaining to our family members and others that the loss of his entire family changed the trajectory of his life into drugs. It's been distressing and sad.
This woman has been on this journey for several years, and whilst it's commendable that she tries to help herself, she then quickly falls back into the same drug addiction cycle. She's always very articulate about her woes and she'd be more successful at staying on the wagon if only she'll take it seriously and stay committed, and fight the urge. That said, I'm not in her shoes so I can't truly understand what she's dealing with. But for her own sake and that of her son and grandkids, I pray that this time, the only way is up. 🙌🙏
Renee got me in freaking tears over here! I just love her and I’m so proud of her! I pray that her sobriety journey continues for the long haul! You can do it Renee! Keep talking to God, keep those grandbabies around, and just take it one day at a time. We believe in you 👏🏾💙😊
Opiates are literally so addicting. They take all your pain away physically and mentally. God bless anyone dealing with that. Coke is more of a party drug that people do at weekends and parties but opiates will ruin your life quick!
They do have a purpose for physical pain. People are on them for serious conditions that cause them severe pain. Most times it doesnt take away all the pain it just takes the edge off so you can do things like a normal person. Dependence is way different than addiction. Just saying.
Renee’s story is so tragic I have followed her since the show and I’m glad she’s now looking to God and not the next fix. I hope she can stay sober this time, one day at a time 😊
04:21 Yes and No. Every addict does feel that emptiness. They're missing love in that they are likely not receiving consistent affection, attention, patience, being listened to w/o judgement, etc.. I'm sure although many addicts are loved, they do not feel that love and more often than not it's because it's simply not shown. Actions speak louder than words - but you all already know that 😊 Stay strong everyone and never forget Big Ang 👄❤
A decade for me being clean. Drugs is no joke. I see all these young people overdose on this crap. Stick with your journey it's going to be an interesting one. As big ang said " Get Over it" you can do it I promise
My blood family is a nightmare like I can't. They're needy when things get bad for them which hurts me and is probably going to give me cancer worrying about them but then they turn around and do everything for other people, complete and total strangers get all of their time, affection, money, who cares what happens to me right? And then oopsie we're not going to use birth control because apparently dad's genetics are so awesome (they're NOT omg he's hideous). Trauma dumping for my mental health. My dad was such a disgusting asshole I didn't even get to have my birthday on my birthday...like why are you spoiling some teenager you're not related to? Why are you acting like you're in some mob when you're an absolute coward. If you just accepted being a coward and opened up about it instead of playing mr.tough guy you'd be A LOT happier right now.
No, i’m more than sure your family backed you up with love and help but you pushed away Renee. Always happens. Had a friend constantly slamming despite me and another friend constantly helping, paying his rent, he was the first to be on a trial of iv med to see if it would help but needed meth in his system (which he had). But nope, he still constantly did it. Messaged his best friend and she told me that it’s up to them to see when to stop so she cut contact with him and so did I. It gets tiring, really does.
T H E R A P Y helps you clarify your pain, your needs, how to identify who can be in your support system, release the pain, heal, and move forward. Her past is sad but I hope she seeks help in a healthy way so her present can be better.
Your kind of impatient tamron u lacked empathy throughout this interview 😕 take a break some time off or even some breathing techniques I felt your coldness n rudeness in this interview 😒
Honestly, not passing judgment, but just making a statement. The education is out there about what drugs will do to you. There’s a lot of information, but yet people willingly do drugs. Then when they become addicted, it becomes a social problem. Government resources are used to help them when they made the choice to go forth and get involved with drugs. Just a different matter but the same time for instance, just like people know how babies are made yet they go forth and have unprotected sex get pregnant or have disease or whatever and then crack at paternity court or Maury show or some other show about the daddy of the baby.
Your statement is judgemental which you know as you started with saying you're not doing the thing you're doing. Until society UNDERSTANDS addiction and puts in place methods needed then yes society and resources will suffer. Addiction is not different than cancer it is a disease.
Keep climbing. Do not take anything that can weigh u down to heights u want to reach. Apply this in any area of your life. Metaphorically speaking God Bless 🌻🌻🌻🫶🏾🙏🏾
Rooting 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 for you Renee! It’s heartbreaking 💔 how ppl can be so quick to judge someone’s choices instead of figuring out why they move how they move !! When she said I talk to the man upstairs I felt that . As a Childhood Sexual Abuse / Physical Abuse Survivor I can totally relate to Renee. God/ Therapy has definitely saved my life… Idk where I’d be without him. We can’t HEAL what we don’t REVEAL… Healing ❤️🩹 isn’t linear & YOUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!! Nobody has room to judge anyone because God has definitely shown us grace whenever we’ve missed the mark. I used sex/ alcohol to cope with my past trauma & one day I looked at myself in the mirror and said I can’t do this anymore.

So so sad but please never spend a day without checking on him. May God grant him mercy to overcome the spiritual attacks of addiction 🙏🏾 🙌🏿

Really like her. She’s a strong woman and I love her honesty and vulnerability. Wishing her all the best
That is so true people chase addictions to make up with not feeling loved ❤
We need Mob Wives back, Renee was always entertaining ! !

So now it makes since that her son was disrespectful a lot. He knew about her drug use
Poor Renee i know how she feels i lost my father its horrible i feel her
Preach sister preach!!!
I agree, every addict is missing love and when they push u away u go more to drugs
She’s looking amazing ❤
She's so right, lack of love is a real problem.😢
Renee’s story is so tragic I have followed her since the show and I’m glad she’s now looking to God and not the next fix. I hope she can stay sober this time, one day at a time 😊

The answer is love....SELF love!!!
I can relate to her talkin about love because i feel im not loved by my family 😢
So glad she's ok God spare ❤
Renee looks amazing. Glad to see her doing well. Cheers to many many more years of sobriety ❤
I watched every episode of the mob wives . I thought it was cool. I'm glad Renee is ok❤
Keep Going Renee.
You have to understand her family needed to create boundaries to protect themselves from her addiction.
A cast member of Mob Wives??? That show hasn't been on the air since 2016
Sending my best wishes in her recovery.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Luvvvv Renee!!!!!❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻🫶🏻💕🙏🏻😘🎉🎊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Being a drug addict is hard and I thank God every day I'm clean
Her sober voice sounds so different.
Big Ang saved her.
🙄 ummm, lol no.
@@cbell3922 But Big Ang has power from her resting place.
@@alicewolfson4423 The dead don’t have any power. God saved Reneez
Renee, pulling for you ❤
Glad she made it through. She looked better before plastic surgery though. Nothing wrong with growing old gracefully.
She looks so beautiful now, I hope she can stay sober
Edit- I never thought she was unattractive, just looked tired if that makes sense
Living in Florida will do that to you
🙏🏽
Jesus loves you!!
A decade for me being clean. Drugs is no joke. I see all these young people overdose on this crap. Stick with your journey it's going to be an interesting one. As big ang said " Get Over it" you can do it I promise
She looks great sober

I like renea, she has never hid any of this. She's had a pretty traumatic life
That face
Renee, I’m so so so glad you found Jesus! He loves you with an everlasting love.
Did she have a NDE???
She ruined her face. She is beautiful but no need to mess with your face. I'm glad she is ok.
Kick Ass Renee
❤❤

Let's be honest people take drugs because they want to get high.
Naw drug abuse is a symptom not smoking a blunt or taking pain meds for pain and stopping when your supposed to…MASTERS IN ADDICTION THERAPY
