I really respect how you never interrupt the interviewee and just let them speak.
That's not true
He does with Mr Rebecca.......
I've been on both sides of the street , addict & not an addict for the last 30 years , it's not that non addict's don't like or love addict's , it's that when you're high you don't care about others so it's the addict that neglects the other people.
Find happiness caring about others , not the dope , make love your drug , you can do it.
Well she did everything 😂😂😂 what a druggy
Totally true. An addict who loves others would not put people through the pain they cause. They say they want to be loved, but define it as being enabled in various ways. So sad, but so manipulative to use the L-word in this context.
Giving her baby sister a shot of heroin is a horrible thing to do. I don't understand her thought process behind that. That's dark and a narcissistic thing to do to a loved one.. fark, that blew my mind
💯
When you do drugs, you want to be around other people doing drugs. Guess she was just trying to get everyone and their mother on it.
Well, there's a lot of sick, twisted, selfish people in this world. You can't be TOO surprised, right??
I was addicted to opiate pain pills for years and got cut off and I was sick as a dog.. My big sister and her old man gave me my first line of heroin 9 years ago I snorted that lil line and I was off to the races I immediately became addicted cause I already was addicted to prks roxis and morphine.. I been going to a methadone clinic everyday for 2yrs so I'm not completely sober I've slipped up a few times and was still pissing fentanyl every month for a year and a half I'm 6 months clean except for smoking alot of weed.. I pray for you and anyone else who is addicted to find peace happiness and sobriety 😿🙏
@@borobinson7005 I wish you the best in your continued recovery
Now, I don’t know if you hold some resentment towards your sister for giving you that first dose of heroin, but in her defence, she probably believed she was doing the ‘right thing’ or the ‘helpful’ thing at the time. Since you were already addicted to opiates, she probably didn’t realize that the heroin would take you to a whole other level of addiction. She thought she was helping you not be sick
And since she was an addict at the time as well, she probably wasn’t able to make the best decisions herself at the time
Never judge a book by its cover. She looks like a regular soccer mom.
Most busted soccer mom lol how insulting to the Karen’s 💀
Yep looks like but doesn't sound like.
and if you look like her. Nobody is gonna feel sorry for you.
Until she opens her mouth. Not hard to tell she's on drugs.
Wtf kind of soccer moms are you hanging out with? Good lord.
OMG.........she gave her sister a shot and she died too???? This chick is the grim reaper
And all these people in the comments saying “omg, she’s amazing, stunning and brave’. Like wtf?
She probably gave her the amount she uses rather than starting her off on a small amount, although still so wrong to do that.
@@prague7706 There's a lot of bot comments on this channel.
I have zero empathy for her, just another scumbag addict
@@prague7706 I know right ? 😂😂
Lady STOP giving others drugs!!!! You do you they don’t need your help to die.
Most accurate & truthful comment here!
true i recently relapsed and i absolutely resent the person who introduced me to them and would never ever do that to anyone knowing how addictive and destructive they are.
@@TheEbryn take responsibility for you stop blaming others!
My mother is like this woman. My brother, I, and her grandchild (everything) comes second to the addiction.
I am reading the comments so far and all I can see is people falling for the blame this lady puts on everyone around her. The choices she has made as an adult. The choices she continues to make.
And that’s how I remember my mother. Addiction first, everything and everyone else at fault, and people she should have cared about falling behind. People in here would have fallen for my mother’s stories too. It’s sad, for everyone involved. Her mouth is talking the talk, but she ain’t doing the walk.
🤔 text book Narcissis 💀. always playing the victim, never excepting responsibility - I mean when the boyfriends mom slapped you in the hospital and said you killed him you Kinda really did 💀💀
Why keep having kids when you're an addict??? So unfair to the kids.
My daughters "Mother" and "Her Mothers Boyfriend" died in April! Somebody sold them some cocaine cut with fentanyl and they ODed together. My daughter is emotionally DEVASTATED by this. They were both only 45 years old! Her Mother died 2 days before my daughters 19th birthday. The last month has been really tough
Bruh, I’m so sorry. I have actually been there too. My son’s mom liked herself cause she just couldn’t get clean. Just be there for your kiddo. And get to therapy. Together.
She asks how you can be happy sober and the answer isnt as complicated as they make it seem. You find happiness through healing, it creeps in. You cant tell me you have happiness while using...so all you have to GAIN IS HAPPINESS.
AND in sobriety, it presents in many forms. You find happiness getting to restart your life and rebuild relationships, in getting to know yourself and participating in the things you missed out on. You find happiness through finding purpose and setting and achieving goals (whatever they may be). You find happiness through gratitude. Just the fact knowing you're now in control and not chained to a substance brings happiness.
You find it by healing and doing the work you gotta do. By establishing and living by the values you want to live by and probably couldn't before.
Addicts love scaring themselves out of things and want everything all at once. You'll find happiness by living One day at a time, patience. When you're sober and doing the work for real...everything comes little by little and happiness is included in that. Just no using isnt recovery, theres more to it which includes healing and being the best version of yourself. When you're in recovery, you no longer let fear and shame dictate your life and that brings happiness. Everything builds. You make small goals and work towards them. If you keep at it you'll learn the value of a dollar and rebuild your finances, you'll make amends on your relationships...make new ones and rebuild old ones. You'll identify things important to you, new passions, career goals and slowly work towards them. You cant complicate it by making shit up that hasn't happened yet, trying to live all at once, making excuses or your own version of things that aren't real, and so on.
Happiness is a journey with levels and experiences just like life. It isnt a static thing. If you work on your relationship and understanding of it, it will come. Happiness is fluid, some moments are happier than others and its OK to not always be happy. It's how you learn to cope, reflect, build skills and deal. The happiest people I know have certain qualities...mostly they have lots of gratitude and they're living in line with their values every day.
Good luck to you and all those struggling. Recovery is possible, is do able, and you can have an amazing life. And...DESERVE IT!
Perfectly said
So well said.
Bravo. Beautifully said. Happiness is not getting high or getting whatever thing or pleasure you want in the moment. Happiness can also be the ability to tolerate unhappiness without using, not needing a boyfriend, or knowing that you are giving your children what you may not have been given.
It's time to take responsibility for your actions. You're an adult & you have a choice. To use or not to use.
If it was that simple we wouldn’t have this epidemic.
If it was that simple "to not use" nobody would be addicts.
I typically make it about a third of the way thru these videos. The heavy alcoholics, maybe 30 seconds. They are just so plum burned out of all their energy, they don’t have enough left to push their lips out of the way. Some people find themselves more bored with this world than others. Some suffer more. Some seem quite content and happy. Sobriety doesn’t necessarily provide that happiness. I can just expose the boredom more fully sometimes. Just the way it is.
No one can make you feel a certain way about yourself without your permission. You have to be and are responsible for what you feel. I assume some of these feelings of inadequacy stem from a childhood that wasn't ideal. I hope you find your worth, Jodie, and that you can get clean and live your best life. God bless.
not true. maybe you think your so "conscious" that you can be unbothered by peoples interactions with you but its inevitable that people influence how you feel. people that say otherwise do that to cover up their pain caused by others. they think they can live unaffected by being 'unattached'. so the question is why do you want to be unaffected rather than feel emotions which are what make us human
@@theeskatelife It's true you have emotions, but if someone told me I was a dumb, pink clown, I can choose to be bothered by it or know that it's not true. If you have confidence in yourself, you don't let those words bother you. I won't argue with you over this, because some people just won't get it. Know that God loves you, and that's really what's important. He sees value in you and wants you to see the value in yourself. I hope you do.
No matter how confident you think you are. When someone you love, she said she thought he "walked on water", tells you day in and day out how stupid you are, belittles you and God knows what else. He was doing something to her, to make her think she was crazy, I mean to end up in a mental institution for two weeks. Anyhow when someone treats you like that, and unless you have been in that situation, you don't have any idea what it feels like to be in that situation. If you hear it enough, you start to believe it....and she's stuck in Alaska, it's a beautiful place but so isolating. Even the most self confident person, I believe, can be worn down after so long. I hope she can find happiness sober, but she will have to forgive herself first of all, and that's a hard thing to do. So good luck Jodie, I'll be praying for you.
@@Bookiebaby17 I understand what you are saying, but if someone is confident in who they are (healthy), they would hopefully realize the toxic behavior of the other person who tries to belittle them. I would then hope that they would remove themselves from the situation. I don't remember this interview at this point, so maybe this is easier said than done. I have been at the end of negative interactions, but I admit it probably wasn't to this extent. I have, however, had a very difficult time in my life where I did feel like a nobody, and that's exactly what taught me the lesson I learned and tried to share here.
Girl, you can get help, and you can know happiness by facing and forgiving. But only if you surrender to a program and follow it. We get to the point where we think we know better, but our minds are so sick because of the trauma…I believe in you.
Americans who are addicted can thank big pharmaceutical companies and their doctors for this, doctors knew how addictive opioids would be before they prescribed them🌸
Do you feel like that about chronic pain patients? There is a legitimate use to keep people out of chronic pain and having functional lives. It's not all or nothing.
@@EnvironmentalCoffeehouse For years people didn’t have opioids for chronic pain, it should be used for end stage cancers.
@Environmental Coffeehouse i DO believe this about chronic pain patients. There isn't multi- million dollar lawsuits against the pharmaceutical companies for no reason. There are many alternatives to overmedicating people for profit. There are surely times wheres opioid medication is necessary, but not in the high doses and amounts that they were handing out like skittles to people.
@@ow3wells Have you lived with chronic pain 24/7, 365? if not, you have NO idea what you are talking about!!
@@susanherbst3319 What I’m saying is that there were pain medications before opioids came on the market, people need go back to using those medications to avoid addiction.
Chick sounds like my mom: its always someone elses fault.
Which is why my mom and this woman are still on their BS and at the end of the day - care about no one but themselves.
Pretty much all addicts have one thing in common: severe childhood trauma. I don't think I've ever met an addict that was raised in a healthy and loving household.
Many people on this channel that grew up in a great household STILL chose to use drugs, so not all childhood trauma. I will say that childhood trauma is most likely the reason I used many years ago, just wanted to feel numb...
thats just not true. of course many do. but just as much are normal people that fell into addiction as well through injuries etc. i come from a great family no trauma and i had my battle with addiction. not all addicts are these broken beaten people.
I had the best childhood you could probably ask for, like fantastic parents and friends and support and hobbies and love, still got addicted to fet for years, I quit eventually and I’m good now but it can happen to literally anybody, I just happened to be arrogant and think I could out smart dope, but there’s no exception to the rule… if you do enough of an opiate your body will in fact become physically dependent and existing as a functional member of society is no longer possible without getting drugs first, or getting real and stopping
And yeah for real it all comes down to choice, everything you do in life is simply a choice, and learning to take responsibility for those choices
@@PoppinFresh1 Right, it affects everyone equally! We tend to think we can control something and then before you know it, we are turned upside down! Keep staying clean and thank God we are both still here...
Her story is so powerful, it’s one that deals heavily with forgiveness
Broken families breaks children souls… she is a very good example
not always
She seems so lonely. I hope she finds help and some real friends. I hope she comes back to say she's on a better path and will have a completely different second half of a long life. It's never too late to enter a new life with awareness and self-kindness.
I love this comment ❤ couldn't have said it better
Yess much Love and Respect ❤️❤️
If she got sorted out, she could make a lovely girlfriend or wife. She's a nice looking lady, great figure, I hope she can be saved.
Such a beautiful lady. To just see her, a person would never imagine she was into the things she spoke of. It's a shame what she will look like in probably a very short time if she continues her lifestyle. I wish her the best in life.
12:29 I overdosed on heroin/fentanyl. April 13, 2021.. stayed clean for a year and a half and now I'm back stuck on this stupid shit. I hate myself. I want to get clean soooooooo bad. I would love to speak with you Jodie. Omg our kids are SAME AGE. Minus the baby you adopted out. Our lives are so similar. I want to help you I feel like you could help me as well. I will forever think about you Jodie. 😭❤️
I am aware.
Thank you
Don’t give up🌸
@jimbofischaboidon’t be ignorant, it’s obviously not that easy.
@jimbofischa ignorant ass comment..
How could a 4 year old pour gas around a couch to set it on fire? Her brain is fried
I thought that too
She says she a junkie to prove that junkies can be nice people. She is a typical druggie… excuses, blame shifting. I hope she can find her way out.
Grim reaper!
At some point you got to stop making excuses and want to change
Unless you're psychopathic
this woman 100% has some sociopathic/narcassistic traits within her. She looks at everything from a logical perspective (never emotions), talks herself up like how shes pretty and how she's smart and how she chooses to do the thing things she does not because she cant control herself but to prove something to others and she seems to have no remorse for anything she's done (especially the deaths of the ppl around her). I can't be the only one who sees this
Unfortunately people are so stupid that think being pretty equals to having more possibilities to being a regular human being than someone who’s less attractive.
You know. I don't believe her. 9-10 days up bullshit.
Fucked up out of her mind but graduated from pharmacy school?
Pathological liar
4 yr old brother was driven enough to pour gasoline around her sleeping father to kill him
GTFOH!😡
I wondered the same thing. The part where she chooses to be a junky, so she can show the world that you can still have your teeth, looks, fit in anywhere, be smart(?)etc. I almost erupted into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. No accountability for (5 children and was it 2 or 3 deaths?). If you see this woman, ignore her good looks and run. A real life succubus folks. Sheesh! What a load!!!
@@daerganguy7504 and she thinks no one can tell when meeting her that she's an addict. Bless her heart.
The story about the 1st kid/Alaska. Gotta be more to the story. Says was sober, leave it to beaver life ect.. If so, there is no way US custody courts cutting mom completely out of the picture.
What spoke to Me was the talk about methadone. I currently take methadone and it's taken everything from Me. I seriously hate life and constantly think about ending it. To be alive and be so dead to the world is so miserable.
I am so sorry. This comment hurt my heart terribly. I care
@@Kimberly_K_ mine to.
I'm so so so sorry I hope you start to feel better about yourself & life really soon. Your life is worth you living for. You can get off methadone to. If you want to you just have to try ..I'm praying for u and I pray that your ok today. Please let us know how u are right now ..my name is Christy and your comment really broke my heart ❤️ 😢
No appreciation for her grandparents. If they would have talked to her, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have listened.
Does she think she's the only person that has faced this kind of adversities?? Plenty of people pick themselves up and don't give their little sister herion shots
She is expressing all of the signs of someone who doesn’t have a conscious, and has homicidal traits to her behavior. She has an excuse for everything. “My mom, she made me feel, my dad” etc…. Then the sheer amount of people who have died around this woman is scary.
I see no remorse, no kindness in her. Like an empty shell
her husband 'put her in a mental institution so he could get an honorable discharge"... What does that even mean? I don't doubt she's a drug addict, she's obviously high. But man, the delusions.
@matteframe he got her committed so he could get their baby and he would have an honorable d/c so he could get out without it being let out on a bad note if this makes any sense to you,, it's kinda hard to explain
@@rachelrae860 people just don’t understand. Having a father that beats your mother. It’s something that unless you have had it happen. Quiet… the amount of rage u conceal as a child is insane.
@gorillagoldhunters Are you telling me to be quite? If you are I've had major issues as a child from 9 to 12 so yeah I know about it
This girl's story just broke my heart she's such a good person she's carrying a lot of guilt around Mark you have a way of getting these people to feel comfortable enough to tell a story like that I admire you so so much thank you thank you for sharing these stories I wish her all the luck❤❤❤
I know her personally and she really is such a sweet person. Always has been.
When I watch these, it reminds me of doomer Sam when he says don't have kids. Most of the people that are dysfunctional should never have children. I don't understand why they do. It's one of the most selfish acts you can do.
Pray she gets help!!
Praying is useless
@@ronaldreaganrimjobs9327 lmao I honestly don’t care 🤷🏾♀️ I just wanted to comment
@@sachavandew2340 sure thing ofc
@@ronaldreaganrimjobs9327 I didn’t even watch the video so I really don’t kno 😂😂😩
Her story makes little sense.
Noticed she said she was pregnant with twins when the boyfriend she gave Xanax to died, but didn't mention twins when she said her kids' ages rather she mentioned it was a secret mixed baby she had and adopted out... Idk story seemed inconsistent.
Shes whacked
I thought it made sense? She is an addict, I'm sure she mixed up some bits due to that.
Jodie reminds me of my daughter. Learn to love yourself Jodie and forgive yourself for what you did because that isn't who you are. Try to accept your mother's love. It's hard. Very hard.
Some people just don’t get that it’s the drugs/alcohol that lead to problems after problems to the hell hole of misery.
Once I got clean and sober from substances life took a 180 for the best.
I feel so lucky that I had a shred of self preservation left in my soul to save my own self.
She’s lying about 80% of what she is saying .
She's actually not
@@reethomas7632 We really don't know, do we? But it almost doesn't matter if she is lying about some things (and addicts DO lie for myriad reasons). What matters is she doesn't take responsibility for her addiction and commit to rehab because she doesn't take responsibility for her addiction and...
Fentanyl is a curse we don't quite comprehend yet. Well, most of us.
I tell you what, the US and Mexico missed a big opportunity to steer cartels back towards heroin when the cartel screwed up and kidnapped 4 Americans and killed 2 in a mistaken identity hit. The cartel thought they were Haitian cartel, because they’ve been operating there. Anyway, they cartel realized how bad they F’d up that they gave up their own men trying to appease the US. If the US was smart and didn’t stick to this same old BS ‘War On Drugs’ tactics theg could’ve thought outside the box and used the pressure the cartel was feeling to get them to smuggle heroin instead of fentanyl. If the the government laid off let them a bit, letting them operate and profit with heroin while targeting fentanyl smugglers, other cartel would get the message and make the switch. It is impossible to stop drug smuggling into the U.S., all you can do is try to incentivize the more responsible smugglers. If they could get them to smuggle heroin again instead of fentanyl that save 10’s of thousands of lives a year in the US alone.
Its the graduation from pain pills to something "better"
It’s from the devil for sure
Fentanyl is a CIA covert op to kill off the poor and divert the poor from revolution.
@@ronaldreaganrimjobs9327 Just like your edge lord username and trash "rap" videos. Lol sheesh how much of a defect are you? We got it you won't ever mean anything to anyone and should probably join the statistics.
Great interview. Jodie, believe in yourself!
I wish the best for her. At first appearance you would never guess she has an addiction
she tells Mark that very thing about herself and many other addicts in society, numerous times.
How she talks gives it away
Good Morning Yall!👋🤠 or whatever time of day it is for you in your neck of the woods. Peace and Love from 6:00am Brooklyn NY🇺🇸 to you and wherever in the world🌍 you are, my SWU fam.

Ello Mate!!!
Madison Wisconsin saying hello to you fine sir.
It’s a glorious day to be alive.
Jodie, I just want to tell you that when you are raised with parents that gave conditional love then you have adopted that mindset to yourself. Instead, you just need humility. Finding that it is only human to error. Most of the time people use pride as a crutch in this area. So judging someone is a type of supply to people that have only grown up with conditional love upbringings. Please love yourself. Even if you did all of that to me, seeing how much you care about what you did especially, would allow me and humble person to WANT to forgive you. True humility is knowing that I can and will make mistakes in the future. I believe that this world we are brought into, is a place of learning. You have a good heart deep down and I believe you know that so please just be humbled by what you did and learn from your mistakes. "Good nature and good sense must ever join; To err is human; to forgive, divine." ~ Alexander Pope
Hate to admit this, but listening to these stories makes me realise how lucky I am.
I do think the people who were able to get away from her, sound way way better off for it - but I do wish her well too
Hope she finds her way. Sending good thoughts her way.
Jodie, it broke my heart to see this. I’m so sorry for what you have gone through. You truly are a beautiful person inside and out and I’m praying for you to find peace.
Her boyfriend who OD'd was about to pay 18+ years for a kid that wasn't his.
Lucky escape if you ask me.
They had a child together too.
Im having trouble keeping up:
She had a baby when she was sixteen, but was a great student and a cheerleader?
She went to college and studied pharmacology, but made lots of money as a stripper.
I’m getting nothing from her.
It’s as if she is empty.
Mark always makes his guests look their absolute best, in the stills/photos.
Losing Isaiah… crazy it happened just like the movie
She puts up a heck of a front. Clearly she is very dark inside. Talks about herself one way but acts another way. If she's as smart as she claims to be, she wouldn't be in this situation. I live with a lying alcoholic. It's easy to see through all the BS.
She’s what we call a functional drug addict. Ppl keep saying they can’t even tell she’s an addict well you usually can’t tell until they don’t have money for the drug
That is some DANGEROUS stuff...
Yeesh ma you went from old school weed to PCP like its Friday 😮
What she SHOULD have answered when he asked “What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned?” is…..
DONT DO DRUGS!!!! ❌🚫❌🚫
Praying for you Jodie.
❤❤❤
You know. Excuses are like booties everyone has one. This lady talked about inteoducing drugs into peoples lives and killing one with them. Maybe more. And blames addiction on her kids being taken from her. I grew up in a situation where my dad got off drugs and he did it for me. The only motivation you need is seeing your kids not with you stop making excuses. This girls is sorry af. Like pathetic. Get off drugs and get in your brain girl. *BE BETTER*
She let that guy die thinking it was his baby. Her sister almost died by her hands. She’s the grim reaper
Drugs are the devil .Our country is ruined thanks to drugs
Thanks to the Mexicans and Chinese
"Droll thing life is--that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself--that comes too late--a crop of inextinguishable regrets." ~ Joseph Conrad from Heart of Darkness~
As a sister wiyh an addict brother, the addiction drains the family and bleeds a lot of toxicity and pain into our lives. It's to be close you when you are determined to self destruct. We are in pain as well we just have to create the distance. Addicts lie and cheat and steal. I cannot tell you how many knocks on my door from the police, the neighbors/drug dealers he owed money to or was running from. I I couldn't so it anymore.
She's like some sort of demented angel. She had me in a trance when she was getting high with her little sister .... and then she died..... like a cold bucket of water in the face... but we brought her back to life.... holy hell ...shes the demented angel of death and also a mother of 5 and a stripper... Like a Bazaro World Marvel Comic.
Being 15 minutes from Canton, GA I can confirm meth, heroin, and fentanyl are out of control.
She goes through her whole story showing zero emotion. I see some narcissism with her, and other issues. I also don't feel she is completely honest, and does alot of blaming. However, I pray she gets help and has a happy future.
This is why there needs to be mandatory sentencing - capital punishmnet for anyone who pushes hardcore drugs and arent addicts themselves
Sadly this isn’t addressing the problem and the war on drugs doesn’t work. We need to do the real work of getting to route of family dysfunction, poverty, collapse of community (support networks) and work opportunities. Education, support and opportunity.
I agree- key words “that aren’t addicts themselves” … those scumbags are doing it for pure profit- mandatory death sentences- it may “sound” extreme- but is NOT! I lost my little sister to fentanyl on 1/5/22. I think a capital murder charge on these scumbag dealers that are fully aware of what they’re selling is completely appropriate
@@NJgirlMel Im so so sorry to hear of your sister. I have zero tolerance on this. If someone is a junkie I get they sell to use. They are addicts. They can be treated if they want to be. That should be available to them. But when you have maggots living on human misery I have no tolerance. I am a funeral director. Simply the world is a better place when certain people arent in it. These maggots are at the top of the list with the human traffickers and paedos.
@jimbofischaboi unfortunately you’re probably right about that. Losing hope for this country every day 😢
This so sad. Hopefully she gets her s--t together. I was on Suboxone for 6 months to get off roxicet. And I'll have 3 years in June. I have a wonderful life now and I know it sounds cliche but it's the truth. She is so smart and pretty. Thank God I never did anything else not that it makes me any better but I'm grateful I didn't do so. Another great interview Mark
I am shocked how many people died around her 😢
I don’t even know what she is saying!!!! Her story is just too much . I think she killed that one guy. 1 Xanax !!!! BS!!!
@J nag. She straight up evil.
Why is it that some became what they hate sometimes? What their parents did to them, they do to theirs for generations. Even when they aren't involved much in their lives, they still turn and do the same. I believe in generational curses but I also believe that one person has the power to overcome for the next.
Poor girl, been there done that. On Suboxone now, still trapped. Ugh
2:45 in and I'll have to admit that in the 89's and 90's peanut butter crank it was easy to stay up a week or two easy! That stuff was next level poison
She's everything she says she is. Good looking. Athletic. A family person. A mom. Etc, etc. It's a hell of a deal in life.
Self preservation is the reason for the no contact from friends and relatives. She states they don't understand - I think people do and that is why they stay away - they deserve happiness and their life - and addicts will drag you down and may never recover (most likely, not recover). And now, she repeats what her parents did - addicts having children.
Sis its not fate, stop doing drugs and the world will stop screwing you over.
If you are broken, please do not bring kids into the world. At that point you stop being a victim. And this comment has much more to do with than just this video. Even my own parents had no business bringing life into this world. It is such a huge responsibility and it seems like hardly anyone sees it that way. People just crank out kids for their own gratification and dont consider what environment they really provide for the innocent. Just really fed up with all the pain in this world. It just never ends.
I’m a bit surprised by all the scathingly critical comments here. Jody wasn’t the only child in her family to turn to drugs. Her brother, her sister. Clearly, their formative years didn’t set them on a path to be healthy and happy. Give her a break. Yes, it would be no picnic to stay close to and support someone like her, but her life got off to a pretty rocky start. Taking pot`shots at her is not helpful.
It really struck me when she said, ‘I wish I knew a way to be happy”; our culture doesn’t provide much wisdom in that regard. She’s searching; she’s trying.
These junkies don't give a fuck. Always ready with an excuse as to why it's not their fault.
Addiction is a horrible disease.
Some of you completely miss the point of this project. Have some compassion and try to understand people for what they have done or who they are.
The best thing you could do is just abandon hope. There isnt any help. As a family member you just have a funeral for the living and live for you and your family
From weed to PCP is quite the leap!
"If you could tell me the secret of life tell me, how to be happy while sober"
"Everything I hated about my father and my mother, I fell into it"
Uugh I just want to give her a big hug and let her cry. Crying is so therapeutic 😢
Its crazy how the specter of death is always around these street people. I have some i know die very rarely but these junkies are constantly losing people to the Grim Reaper just because of the dangerous lifestyle they live.
Like seriously.... So everytime a family member dies, we run to herion 😂😂😂 I believe death is part of life. Drugs are for the weak minded I swear. I just don't get it, they just make excuses to be high. In the beginning they just think they are invincible & Smarter then the drug.
Finally, someone whom refers to them as I do ( street people ) it’s accurate and honest no sugar coating that
Zero accountability! It's everyone else's fault! She will probably die a dope fiend because she's too old to not take responsibility for her actions! Can't teach an old dog new tricks💯
When i would score heroin there would always be a girl like this who was always rude and looked down upon the rest of us even tho she was copping h
❤Awww... I wish Jodie knew how Beautiful she was in the past, and still is now... I HOPE that "maybe this time" works out.. Prayers and Healing energies and Love, tara❤️🙏🇨🇦
At 18:19 not the direction I expected this to go. It’s not that I don’t feel for her or want to write her off but the level of delusion she lives in is deep.
If she only had a tiny peak into the “bad hand” others have been felt she’d be grateful to have had the life she had and realize that her excuses are just that.
Just wow, I’m just shocked.
this would never happen in the south, nope..its all in LA.. oh but where are they FROM... yup..
I feel her stories were very embellished
Like all of them are
They usually are 😂
A 4 year old holding a thing of gasoline pouring it around the couch? I think maybe this lady is either embellishing her stories, not recalling them correctly or just plain lying. These videos would be more enjoyable if Mark would interject and lead his subjects out of rambling mode.
😜 agree , this is just too much
She wants to be a drug addict to help change people’s opinions of drug addicts. Wow, your sister is in Georgia, and you gave her a shot of heroin, and overdosed her. She said her sister died- momentarily. That would have been the third person in your immediate relationships that you were closest . Should have…yes, everything she hated about her mother she is. She moved to California, and doesn’t believe she could get sober there. I am confused that her child’s father got custody if she was fit. But here she says that is the why she gets high. Full circle.
If her brother died camping w his family, why did anyone need to search for the body?
He went off fishing at night he passed away sitting in a char with an OD it took us 4 days to find him
I know on jre you said you wanted to stop doing these. Im glad you didnt because people that live in the light need to see the people that live in the dark. Its beautiful work you do. Doing these humanizes those that others have cast out...we are just people some of us wear our scars,others cover theirs.
Totally agree with people with light need to see the darkness .. people I’ve told about this channel say how can you watch this .. well I live in a happy bubble I feel I need to see this to better understand what is out side of my reality 💚✌🏻
I was in rehab with Jodie back in 2019-2021. Covid treated errbody rough as shit and in different ways.
Do tell ?
Liar
@JesseJames-lo4ln in Canton, GA cherokee county drug court holmes. 2019 I was arrested and put in rehab. I didn't kick it with her, honestly I learned more about her watching this than I ever did any other time. I thought she was kind of a ditzy blond at the time and honestly she had pretty much every body fooled. Shits wild.
@@Kimberly_K_ I replied to Jesse James. I didn't really know her and hang out with her. She had this old guy boyfriend who ran a car lot and was her sugar daddy. I figured she was just pulling the only fans/escort card. Didn't think she was gonna go full blown relapse.
@@kyleellis4140 definitely wasn't the escort card she can use words well Enough she doesn't have to give her body up
Is it really necessary to bring 5 children to this world if you know you have such problems? Rhetoric question
To the very end, this woman blamed her issues on everyone but HERSELF. She comes across as a TOTAL liar. I do not believe her dealer forced himself upon her, she was prostituting herself like the rest of the junkies and addicts. The fact that people on here get taken in by these POSs is just unreal to me. When she said that her brother had a gas can at the age of 4........I was officially done. The world would be a better place without her. 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Wow!! That's pretty harsh!!!
I mean, maybe that last sentence could have been left unstated , that’s a bit strong imho , but honesty is a virtue they say , and I value freedom of speech and opinion - balance in all things
She didn't take accountability, however, not every addict sells their body for drugs. Sounds like you have some personal issues you need to reflect on because you're way too emotionally involved in this woman's story.
@J I was VERY close to that world when I was much younger. While I never sold drugs, my childhood best friend did and what I'm telling you are MY experiences. 🤷🏽♂️
Never trust an addict
Did she like....admit to involvement (and that word is doing a lot of heavy lifting here) in multiple deaths and ODs?
Lol let’s tell
I’m wondering what the warrant is in GA? In Ohio, she could serve time for being an accomplice in an overdose. I know this for a fact.
Sure AF did 😂 I’m sure the true Body count is astonishing
I remember being close to Jodie and her whole family! I’m from canton
Everyone has the choice to chose whatever they chose, but it’s up to them to clean up there own mess and take responsibility for there own crap they’ve created in there lives. No sympathy from me. The only ones I feel sorry for is the poor children. These adults that behave this way are selfish beyond belief.
She’s tells the story of so many
active addicts -
I’m so glad , so grateful
I had the Gift of Desperation aka. GOD ..
Today makes 14 yrs clean & sober 100%

I live in L.A.

Recovery is everywhere
A person has to want to make a deep change-
Just put a friend in the ground
In Santa Monica Cemetery
Died in Santa Monica
We found her dead with a needle in her arm..
This women reminds me of
The friend who died …
Methadone isn't what makes you nod off, methadone isnt the problem. The Xanax and alcohol she used along with her methadone and buying extra methadone, are what kept her high and nodding off. Please don't think methadone is bad. It has saved countless lives, getting people safely off of heroin and keeping them clean. ❤️
Sorry, she triggered me saying bad things about the methadone clinic. Its the pnly thing that has helped myself, my family and most of my friends. The ones that are still alive ❤️
Jesus.
Ye I know this is hard to write, but she really deserves that life.
Mark, i dont know how you hear these stories everyday and not let them seriously affect you....well, im sure they do affect you!
Sometimes i cant listen to your videos because they are very depressing. Addiction is such a sad thing...hurts so many people.
