I started doing drugs 20 years ago as a teenage. Got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
“Addiction is giving up everything for one thing, Recovery is giving up one thing for everything.” A strong quote that people should think about more. 💙
is my music okay??
I dig that. 👌

Dude thanks for commenting this, it gave me some real insight.
Absolutely!!
I would love to see alcohol being included in these types of videos, I think it's so normalized you don't even think about the horrors of alcohol addiction
Facts
I agree alcoholism is bad but it definitely incomparable to these hard core drugs .
Alcohol addiction is bad, but the amount of alcohol to kill you is so large that in 99% of scenarios you pass out before even reaching half of the lethal dose, also yeah alcohol is addictive but its probably not going to get you addicted if you dont have any psychological/physical conditions. I drink alcohol rarely and when i do i drink strong alcohol (at least 40% vodka, but i prefer 60-70% polish homemade bimber) and I do not even think about drinking alcohol unless its some kind of family/friends party/celebration which is a national tradition to drink
Fuck alcohol my last straw was when I was depressed beyond measures everyday drank a fifth until one day got some bad news chugged a half gallon of fireball and it made me violent that was it for me I’ll never do something that changes me into a aggressive person alcohol is horrible just hope my dad finally quits
@@NicksBills Yeah alcohol is terrible if your mind for some reason thinks drinking will fix your depression (it wont)
Is no one going to talk about the guy who said he was a psychologist but was actually a patient?! 😳
FR data werid
He's such a good psychiatrist that he tricked them into thinking he was a patient he's undercover brother
Delusional people are everywhere. At least it looked like he was trying to “help”. Looked like.
@@conflict7269not funny didn't make sense.. do better
Omaha has a lot of lien mf’s I live here
I’m a 17 year old kid who’s never been addicted to drugs, but my mother and father have. My father gave up a nasty drug addiction that was super self destructive before I was born. But my mom is still in that horrible life, and she’s hurt and burned so many people who love her. It hurts and I’m praying she finds the strength to get better, but I’m losing hope. Omaha is my home but it’s so stricken with this disease. My dad is now 21 years sober, and counting. Stay strong guys
Please dont give up on your mom
Omaha is trash.
So you do drugs but your not addicted
Praying for you and your parents
My mom just passed away last September. Overdose, I’m the one who walked in on her. I was 20, and a month before that my ex girlfriend of 5 years was r**ped by her own father. So thankful for my dad and him being sober and supportive. I gave up on my mom a year before she past, I remember having dealt with her addiction since I was 4 years old. Started as an alcoholic, and continued to spiral. Get her help. Yell at her, take her somewhere by force, do whatever you can. I have destroyed emotionally since, and I don’t feel like I’ll ever be able to smile the way I used to. Good luck to you. Stay strong.
My best friend died 2 years ago yesterday to fentanyl. He was only 19. Thank you for shedding light on this topic.
Well it was his own fault? Stop acting like someone spoon fed it to him. That’s a self inflicted problem and you shouldn’t feel bad about. He chose to put himself in that position. He knew he was doing something he shouldn’t be doing. Oh fucking well
The only thing you should be feeling bad about is YOURSELF simply because you let your “bestfriend” do something to the point where he can loose his own life. That means you’re NOT his friend. Idiot.
Sorry for your loss 😢🎉
Condolences 🙏🏾
When the fake psychologist looked at the filmmakers and said "....and it could HAPPEN TO YOU TWO GUYS TOO" a chill went down my spine. Yeeeeeah, something wasn't right.
I busted out laughing when he was identified as a patient and had to re-watch the scene.
Yesh when he said they stopped using Fentanyl for surgeries I knew he was full of it.
I’m 16 I started using weed when I was 14 then it got bad when I started doing pills and eventually got arrested for rampaging on xanax. I been to rehab 3 times already and I’m 51 days sober now off everything and it’s a battle everyday. Thank you tommy for spreading awareness about addiction. When I’m older I wanna help people who were in the same spot as me.
I'm 39 two guys bled to death in front of me I have interred coffins of two uncles and two grandmothers but drugs won't improve anything whereas I know that I'm gonna fly away myself soon definitely
@tylerx6 you can & you will keep fighting because the reward of sobriety is much more than waking up sick everyday or waking up to figure out what cappers you’re doing to get your drugs for the day. I am 40, luckily when I got addicted to opiates they hadn’t started lacing everything with fentanyl yet but after a couple years everything was mainly fentanyl now heroin doesn’t exist it’s all this tranq stuff n fentanyl it’s killing the human race.
I’m 19 I did weed for 2 years and stayed when I was 15. Even though it’s not a drug people would say is additive it sure was for me. Just like that guy said I gave everything up for those joints and I was also drinking anything I could get my hands on. The guy who introduced it to me ended up getting involved in a murder case for a girl that OD on fentanyl.
@@PatrickQuarles there's certainly a significant reason why it's called a gateway drug basically
rip bro see u in hell@@kalebind1
I'm a veteran of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, who transitioned into being a Fire Medic as a civilian. Ended up injured in a fire which aggravated injuries from war. I was prescribed Oxycodone 30mg. I was hooked within a week. Swallowing turned to snorting, then to shooting eventually doing upwards of 15+ a day on days off, and just enough not to be sick while at work. Eventually it all caught up to me. Spent 3 years in prison and decided to end a 5 year drug battle. 9/12/12 is my sober date. Anything is possible if you really want it. Now married, a home owner, and a beautiful child. Please get help if you're suffering!
Congratulations on being sober. I, myself 4x combat veteran know the game they played with us. Cooked us, hooked us and then booked us. Keep your head up!
If you’re white we don’t care
Jesus you made it out after only five years good for you. Veteran myself first Gulf war. It took me in between 12 to 15 years before I was able to get off.
Damn man. I’m happy you made it to the other side
@MikeJohn-hh8no A beautiful woman, and daughter fueled the motivation. Luckily in a medical state that allows Marijuana use for breakthrough pain due to injuries. But edibles are far easier to control over opiates. No alcohol. Also used licensed counseling and micro-dosing therapy for PTSD and TBI.
Anyone who got off the drugs and is now sober fighting the urge. You are a strong mf’er. It is one of the hardest things in the world but if you can do it you’re one of the toughest humans in the world. Keep fighting don’t back down.
You have to have a addictive lifestyle to be addicted to any drug, even liquor.

Thanks 😊
@@barbietheemuslimah You’re welcome! I have a huge amount of respect for you.
So I'm 17 I've been addicted to meth and fentanyl for 4 years. I've been sober from both for a little over a month and I'm currently still battling with my addiction to marajuana which I've been going through for 7 years. I just want say thank you Tommy G for spreading awareness about drugs
Wish I could help you . I'm a father with two teenagers . One in college and one about to be a world renowned boxer . Wish I could help you in the same way . Stay safe and God bless you ❤️🙏
Dang, man. Take care of yourself. You're still so young that you can turn this all around. You've got your whole life ahead of you.
Ahhahahah bro did you start smoking weed since you were 10 years old?😂
Addiction to weed? No such thing.
addicted to marijauna no such a thang been smokin since I was 14 and have quit many times with no problems. Hope you keep ya head up and stay sober
As a person living in germany, im absolutely shocked about this gigantic crisis. It honestly makes me sick to see how people are just so broken....
It is already in Europe... Germany does not look any better... Search the documentary "Zombieland"

@@kalebind1Absolut
Former hardcore fentanyl user here. Have been clean now for 13 months. It is the most powerful addictive substance I have ever used. I remember when it was my best friend. And I remember overdosing twice. And it's funny because I survived my time in the military and overseas and yet almost kill myself chasing that high here safe in the states. I'm so thankful and grateful to be alive. I lost everything and now I have a car my own place... Getting emotional just typing this. I feel for the ones stuck on it but there is hope. God bless
For what its worth, I'm grateful you're alive too. Good job man! Keep it up!
Thank you for your service and thank you for valuing your life again, I'm with you
Great to hear! Keep up the good works & God bless.
Yet weed is still scheduled DEA 1 . WTF did you fight for?
Why choose to do fentanyl tho? You can get 80mg OC pretty easily from particular people doing prescription scams
What Jenny had said is literally the reason why I would never even think about abusing pills again. I was addicted to percs for two years spending about 100 a day for them. I never thought that I’d feel any type of normal ever again. The withdrawals were hell. I’ve been officially clean for 3 years going on 4 aside from the occasional times I do when I’m in the hospital because of my lupus flare ups. It feels amazing to be free again. God bless you all 🙏🏼
I encourage you to become addicted to LEGO, as i have been an addict of LEGO for many years.
Well done and congratulations :D Keep up the good work!
Keep going! Super proud of you.
I know exactly that feeling of thinking you'll never feel normal again. Luckily it isn't true. Going on 7 years sober, feel amazing.
Got 20 days clean from the pills too thank god we can get out of bed without a pill today🙏
Marijuana didn't belong in that list of drugs.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
''they said he was not a psychiatrist on staff, HE was a patient,''😂😂
Shit fucking made my afternoon
Tommy ran into a real life shutter island situation.. patient acting as the psychologist lol
Bro literally 😂 shit gave me goosebumps
But literally they said such correct things on the topic which was wild
@@RashaRahman-fk3stcrazy people are experts in their environment
I trust him more than a "for profit" counseling agency lol
It’s beautiful hearing stories of people who battled drug addiction and now are doing better in life. ❤️
I am shocked Kensington isnt number 1!
I was with an organization called skate for change and we went skateboarding around downtown Omaha handing out socks and water and food to the homeless. It was a crazy experience and definitely humbled by it. Stay off drugs it’s not worth it I speak from years of living under the cloud that is addiction. Get help it’s never too late
the whole thing feels surreal, everyone is so quick to blame cities like Seattle, and San Francisco, easier to ignore whats in your own backyard I guess. I don't like using words like "addicts" they are still human, part of our tribe, but we throw them out.
I’m a recovering addict and have been for the last 5+ years since 15 to 21 the age I am now. Thank you for this one dude, a lot of people don’t even know anything behind addiction and just the stats. Much love Tommy yet again another banger
I know how hard it is, im proud of you brother you got your whole life ahead of you still i was addicted from 12-32 years of age. Im 32 now and im after everybody lost so much to that life. If you think about going back don’t do it don’t even try it Will get worse every time. Find a passion and stick to it no matter what anyone tell you ❤ Wish you a long ass happy life bro
@@Jackthetraveller Thank you Jack, appreciate the support. Glad to hear your also doing well!
Do you take Suboxone to help your cravings?
I wish you all the best!
When I watch American episodes, I notice that key characters in the show often do drugs (mainly the soft ones) blatantly and underplay its consequences as if doing drugs is a not committing a serious crime and they can quit whenever they want. Back in China, we are educated from a very young age that a taste of drug could throw our lives into an irreversable abyss with no way to return. It often startles me that your media show such a tolerance towards drug abuse, which, from my perspective, is noxious to the teenagers.
being able to learn about other states while just sitting at home and watching youtube is the cool part here, great video tommy keep posting !
Thank you for shining a light on this! I relate a lot to the last girl that you interviewed. I had a horrible addiction to opiates, and I thank God that I was given another chance. By the grace of God I’m still here and almost 8 years sober. I definitely agree that addiction stems from unresolved childhood trauma or just trauma in general. It’s essentially an escape from reality but it will ruin your life trust me. Maintaining my addiction turned into a full time job, it was all I ever thought about. Please don’t mess around with this crap, it’s NOT worth it! Don’t be like me and think that you have control and can quit whenever you want, it doesn’t work like that! Addiction doesn’t discriminate, it can happen to anyone, don’t be like me and assume that you’re above it because you’re not! If you’re dealing with trauma please seek help & therapy before it overtakes your life. There’s resources out there you just need to look & please don’t be too proud or too afraid to ask for help ❤
really important information and work you’re doing. On another note, the fact that guy wasn’t a psychiatrist and was in fact a patient was a twist that I did not expect and have been laughing for 20 mins
Wow you're stunning, I'm a proper hip hop head, would like to get to know you further if poss?
15:55 has very sore throat poor bloke!
Most psychologists and psychiatrists are way crazier than this dude.
I had a suspicion!! He seemed intelligent and well spoken but if you can read people like myself and used and abused drugs before you could tell he had some sort of struggle with drugs and or alcohol.
@@truther001Factsss, there was even a study conducted on this and it turned out to the the other way round smh! Those who are the patients can recognize if someone has a problem or not better than the so called health expert
Yes Tommy G! ❤
I pray for everyone who is battling addiction rn, there is hope I’m 3 years sober.
Stay strong! 💪
I've been batting addiction for 25 years now and I'm 42 years old. It's not easy and you can't understand unless you have been through it. Once it gets to a certain point you have no power in choice but you can be willing to seek help. At this point I've been clean for almost a year after my fentanyl/heroin addiction. It's a daily battle for me but I just do the things I need to do to stay clean ad this is the happiest I've been.
You can do it, best wishes❤
As someone who's father was a statistic of a fent overdose it's sad to see what people are going through, not all addicts are bad some are great, but damaged people. I hope these people get the things they need.
As a Omaha resident I can attest that meth is a huge problem in Nebraska.
That's crazy I wanted to move up there
I'm from Philadelphia it's crazy over here
Move there just don't do meth?!!🙄
stay outta that shit bro promise me
@@mikemcdermott7744 that was my addiction SMH 😭
Were u a tweaker in the 1st grade too
Props to the young lady at the end for taking ownership in her decisions. That is a great sign that you have a chance at staying sober. Remember, you are worthy of a sober life, and a sober life is worth it. Just trust me, You are worth it!
I'm sick of hearing drug dealers saying they started selling out of "necessity".
Im an Omaha NE residence my whole life, got addicted to fentanyl perc 30's at 17, and battled addict for 3 years. What the man in the Halo shirt is so true. I tried getting clean multiple times, but it isn't until you're looking at facing federal charges for drug tracking until you actually put everything you have into getting clean
thank you for always being so supportive in every situation, your way of thinking and communicating are gentle and easily acceptable
I was addicted to fentanyl for about 7 years and I got locked up on a long jail sentence and it gave me enough time to get my head right I've been sober 4 years now I thank God for another chance. I pray for anyone going through addiction that they can break the chains off. Thanks Tommy for doing a video on this.
Stay strong brother ❤ im proud of you god is allso, make the best of what you got 🙏 Wish u a long happy drug free life ✌️
That withdrawal must have been tormenting. Stay strong 💪
6 years ago I was homeless on and off in Atlanta for 5 years , and was on heroin and meth for a decade . I truly feel for anyone going thru addiction . I’m only 33 and I’ve lost about 20 friends to fentanyl and heroin . It’s insane how many good people it’s killing . I’ve been sober for almost 6 years now and I’m grateful I have a different life
Congrats! I'm 2 years sober from the same stuff. We do recover 🎉
I LOVE how all the parents are blaming the dealers. IT WAS YOUR CHILD, IT WAS YOUR FUCKING JOB TO RAISE THEM RIGHT!!
12 years sober with my substance abuse counselor license working at a treatment facility as a substance abuse counselor. There is hope and if you really want it, you can achieve anything you put your mind it. Stay strong and reach out to someone you trust if you need help!
lol that’s not a career bro that’s a less paying job then like mcdonald’s or better by a few cents super depressing life brother
@@watchmo2310 my life is amazing, and not everything is about money. A simple google search tells you what nice rehabs pay their counselors. I can promise you it's almost triple what you would be making at McDonald's.
You know what does sound super depressing tho? Someone who intentionally tries to be a dick to someone who helps people every day. Helps people who have no one sometimes. Hope eventually you find a way to be happy in life brother.
I have family in Omaha and sent your video. The news there never mentions the problem, especially to this level.. how can people help if they are not aware of the seriousness of the problem.
8:25 "People aren't bad, they had a bad situation"
This quote hits different
it’s so important to bring awareness to these issues, so proud of what you doing bro
is my music okay?
Tommy hasn’t even been to Philadelphia
na people are lacing drugs iwth fentanyl because they know how addicting the shit is. all opiates are super fuckin addicting. if you dont know or never been addicted / know what addiction is even like. try some opiates start taking 5mg norcos for a bit. move up to 10 mgs after a while your brain gets used to that an you take more n more to chase that first euphoric high. soon you realize youre taking 10 pills / 100mg a day. which is easy to get to you can get there within months. but then youll start realizing fuck, the tylenol in those 10 pills which =s 3000+ mg will fry your liver before the actual drug part kills you... so you start taking the blues. real blues / Mbox30s from the pharma are 30mg oxy. no tylenol in them. just straight oxy. boom start takin those then youll get used to those keep in mind. those fuckin pills the real 30s cost 60$ a fuckin pop. depending wehre you are. unless youre making guap you aint gonna last long an be broke so then youre like well where can i get most bang for your buck. start smokin heroin which is cheaper. NOW heroin aint even around. when was last time u heard heroin killin poeple?.. so then youre like ok ima try the blues which cost 1-5$ depending on bulk prices. exc. then your busting up pills snorting tiny lines cause you dont wanna od. or people even smoke em... an when youre done getting to that point. jump off cold turkey. you wouldnt last 24 hrs. youll be in shitting n pissing, and throwing up all at the same time. all that fake pain you masked over the years is gonna come back 100x worse in your lower back. youre brain is fuckin comlpete mush after . an the first 2 weeks you aint gonna wink of sleep. after day 4 of no sleep youre gonna be in almost a psychosis state iof mind. seein an hearing shit.. you flip n flop in bed , you have whats called restless leg syndrome where you kick all night. literally ur legs kick kick kick all night rub back n forth until the skin in between your knees is raw / gone from kicking an rubbing your legs together.. you aint gonna eat, you aint gonna even wanna get up to take a shower, brush ur teeth. NOTHING. FOR WEEKS. the withdrawal from opiates is so fuckin severe you almost cant even stand it.. sso would u wanna go through hell for 2 weeks or put up 5$ to go get another pill an stay "well" once youre on fentanyl it gets to the point where nothing else is gonna top it. its too strong. an being that youre brains re wired to NEED THOSE DRUGS. you dont get high anymore.. you need those pills just to even function / be normal.. when i had covid that shit was a fuckin walk in the park compared to opiate withdrawal.. the stomach pains is worse. literally feels like a fuckin hot knife in your stomach where ur rolling on the floor in so much pain its unbearable. throwing up straight yellow bile for hours like 10 hrs straight. id rather die then experinece that shit.. sweatin youre ass off, freezing one minute hot asf the next your sweat even smells like a metallic fuckin chemical from your body purgin that shit out...
i typed all that bout 2 minutes into the video. then they started explaining everything i jsut said lol
@@connoisseuroftigolbittsYes he has, i'm a central Pa native an hour from the city, i also lived in strawberry Mansion north philly for yrs before leavin. He came to north philly to visit kenzo doing interviews. I used to chill on lehigh ave alot, sometimes broad to donate blood make money, sold my Suboxone on front & lehigh, ran around 5th & clearfield, 7th & cambria, kip & cambria, 4th & mutter, american st etc, never really hit up kenzo i ran around the outskirts like bad lands, frankfurt under the L or again front st by the L. However i would visit needle park from time to time if i had to meet certain people or newbies to the area.

@@gamingbydavidd exactly
I've lived in omaha my whole life, born and raised, and I smoke a lot of weed. I started smoking weed to help with my chronic pain, and now I get high daily. Even though I'm a heavy user of marijuana, I have no desire to even try other drugs, and I've been offered cocaine multiple times, but I understand the allure of more powerful drugs especially with how cheep and accessible they are. Seeing neighborhoods get overrun by fentanyl is such a depressing sight, and it's truly heartbreaking.
I stopped smoking after 10 years
I stopped ecstasy after 10 years
I never thought of it like I’m recovering because ones you really choose to stop you are no longer that person:
You are no longer recovering you are you without that.
So the real change is when you stop choosing to recover and choose to not be that person.
i knew that guy wasn't a psychiatrist. Didn't talk like one, act like one. Good job trusting your gut and getting the facts.
As a recovering addict. Thank you for trying to get the message out and for helping people. I thank God every day that I got a second chance because not everyone does. It's death, prison,or get clean. Kids please don't ever try drugs. God bless!!!!!!
No drug dealer should ever wear a cross.
I'm from Omaha Nebraska and this was interesting to watch. Thanks Tommy for coming out
I recently had lost my best friend that I grew up with for over 25 years. One of the hardest things today for me but because of it I’m trying to understand addiction more. Great video! Stay Strong and Stay Safe!

Love watching you're videos, very informative!
Bro real af for shedding light on the states and cities that arent really known as others
Thanks for showing this! Most of us either experienced this ourselves or know somebody close that has. It’s f’d up how much product is pushed through our borders on a daily basis.
Okay, so this is really wrong (THIS IS NOT FENTANYL!) ... It's not Fentanyl, for one it's carfentanil if it's on the streets. Two, there's no clean or pure fentanyl left in the USA, not even benzo-fent which is fairly dangerous... but what the USA has is 99% tranq-fent. It's animal tranquilizer and krokodil IE fentanyl and eye drops. There's no clean fentanyl left, it's all dirty. That's why the US is having this crisis, don't blame fentanyl, which is used safely by the rest of the world. Blame the dealers being so fucking greedy they don't mind killing the customer the first time they use, and even if they don't die it's so fucking harmful you can't use it for more than a few months without becoming hopelessly destroyed. The US has a problem MUCH WORSE than regular street fentanyl, like the rest of the world. Why? Greed.
Not only that they have prescription scams with oxycodone an so many others . It's really sad the southern border they come by land air an sea to America .like New York an other places .
I love you and your content Tommy as a Recovering addict seeing this really hit home for me theres nothing harder than trying to get clean I applaud anyone thats able to do it thanks for covering this tommy I pray that you continue to blow up and wish you all the success in the world you deserve it Tommy you're a great dude
You guys that are helping other addicts recover. Amen.🧑🎨🙏
Addiction is one of the worst things to happen to a person. I hope everyone struggling is able to get clean and have a great life
Hell yeah. My sober date is also August 26th, but 2022. Cool to see someone else with the same month and day, doing something good for other addicts
This is gonna be the vid that gets you to 1m subs, huge congratulations!!!! Have been a fan for ever now, so awesome to see your channel grow. Look forward to more great journalism. Thanks Tommy!
And America has weed classified as the same thing as heroin
This really does hit home because I am from Omaha. Walking down the streets downtown mainly it's sad bro it's sad I see it and I just don't know how to change the environment around me. But God bless you Tommy for again covering something that's highly important.
Tommy’s weekly uploads make our days better. Sometimes I’m just waiting for the upload 🙏💚
I love you Tommy! Addiction has a firm grip on my small Indiana town. This town used to be one of the biggest, busiest, little town in the state thanks to the huge Ford plant we had. Once they shipped those jobs overseas our town became a drug infested place of depression. Drugs aren’t the problem with people, it’s the underlying poverty and mental illness that destroys people. I’ve lost so many people I’ve grown up with and went to school with and I’m only 34 years old. When being high becomes better than what your real life is, that’s how you become addicted.
Must be Kokomo
Tommy always seems like such a genuine guy
First time i seen tommy g was like 2017 with baylen…its so nice to see you find your niche and grind your way to success. Love you tommy✊🏽
Thank you very much, Tomy. I am a teen growing up in the suburbs of Omaha and before this video, I had no clue that the use of drugs was this bad and so close to me. Thank You
You can thank chatGPT for the advice :)
Drugs bad. Brain, mood, friends, future gone. Addiction hard. You good. Potential big. Life awesome.
No drugs. Healthy cope. Happy do. Interest join. Role model look. Wellness practice. Care talk. Help get. Resource check.
Help hope. Safe stay. 😊
Thank you for another awesome video. I’m four years into recovery man and really appreciate the fact your covering all of this. We are losing way to many people. God bless you all 🙏🏼
Its actually wild to think I go to Tommy's channel for the best short documentary type videos about real issues!
Tommy G bringing Awareness in the best way possible man you are amazing i enjoy your videos so much, keep being yourself and stay safe and positive
I lost my big brother to homelessness and addiction in January. This hits home. =(
Hope ur doing ok, sorry for your loss it really rocks your world when it happens
lot of my family has dealt with addiction can really relate to you, god bless you
Hugs. Sorry for your loss.
No words. It's just to horrible. 🫂
Hits home, just not his home.
yea its everywhere. i started before fent was really around when i was 14 but quickly that fent replaced and was laced into everything on the streets. after 5 years of addiction and a tbi i made it out with of course some slip ups but its possible people no matter how deep you are to get out and make it to a better sober place.
HERES HOW TO SOLVE THE FENTANYL PROBLEM: Fent testers. But it has to b cheap, ridiculously ez to use (something simple… maybe a paper strip thing), & requires very small amt to test, accurately. (I’m sure ai can invent something.) Anyway, distribute this at cvs, target, Walmarts, schools, everywhere.
Good on you Adam for trying to straighten your life out, hope everything works out for you and you get your kids back in your life.
Tommyyy G ! Love the work your doing , i live around Kensington in philly and its got way worst since your first vid , definitely should consider doing a pt 2 bro
Definitely the best interviewer on YT, Keeping it real. 👍🙏
This was a very educational and inspirational video more people need to see this
tbh i thought it’d be Kensington in philly
Day needa come round my way. Iz allllll bad frfr I live inna real deal slum frfr
Real spill
Yep philly worse than omaha lol
Nbs this video nothing conparrd to philly
Thank you for your great work as always, Tommy. You are one of the most empathetic and genuine people on this site. I look forward to seeing what you can accomplish, stay safe out there big dog.
I work for a medical supply company in PA, Naloxone/Narcan is our #1 seller. You would be AMAZED who is ordering it. Literally everyone from doctors, to school nurses, to sports coaches, to even DENTISTS are keeping narcan on hand for patients.
I keep one in my backpack, one in my car. I'm off the bullshit but I still have friends who use. Only had to break out the narcan to save someone one time. But that was enough.
Narcon won't stop a lethal overdose though. You only 2.0mg to OD but anything over that there's literally no way of coming back unfortunately
Now I want to know what those dentists are finding in people's mouths.
I can relate. Quitting coffee is difficult.
Tommy thank you for another wonderful video. Stay safe!
Dude you might wanna recheck the stats because I'm pretty sure Kensington, Philly is the most addicted city in America
Damm I didn't see that plot twist at 9:09 just like my life
Dude, it is just soooo mindblowing the people you are able to talk with, open up and connect with... Once again!!!! TOMMY G FOR PRESIDENT!!! We need good people in politics!
I’m an addict in recovery, I have over 4 years clean. I hope these people can recover and get off the streets. Fentanyl is scary and it’s sad how bad it’s gotten out of control to many people have lost their lives
I figured you were making your way to Omaha! Appreciate you stopping by! I’m sure if even a slim percentage of Omaha residents watched this video, things could possibly change. We need unity and peace, especially when it comes to our gang violence.
I seen him while I was driving for work and just sat and waited for this to come out after that
Yessir 402 stand up!
Everyone says this.. there is not going to be “unity and peace” ever.. if it’s never happened back then, then it’s never gonna happen now
Okay, so this is really wrong (THIS IS NOT FENTANYL!) ... It's not Fentanyl, for one it's carfentanil if it's on the streets. Two, there's no clean or pure fentanyl left in the USA, not even benzo-fent which is fairly dangerous... but what the USA has is 99% tranq-fent. It's animal tranquilizer and krokodil IE fentanyl and eye drops. There's no clean fentanyl left, it's all dirty. That's why the US is having this crisis, don't blame fentanyl, which is used safely by the rest of the world. Blame the dealers being so fucking greedy they don't mind killing the customer the first time they use, and even if they don't die it's so fucking harmful you can't use it for more than a few months without becoming hopelessly destroyed. The US has a problem MUCH WORSE than regular street fentanyl, like the rest of the world. Why? Greed.
@@user-xo9cl2qw7t I saw he was in St. Louis last and had assumed he’d be making his way here eventually. What a video! Stand up Omaha!!
every video is great, but this one might truly make a difference in someone’s life. i just smoke weed, but it’s still an addiction. it’s hard to not be high for me. life seems impossible when i’m not high. that quote that guy said hit me so deep. addiction is giving up everything for one thing, recovery is giving up one thing for everything.
even the weed is being laced with fentanyl. I encourage you to build a LEGO set instead.
I’ve never up to this point in my life have dabbled in drugs and I hope I never do, but I can sorta understand what the people that have lost someone feel, I’ve heard of multiple people in my pretty close family tree that died file drugs I remember about few years ago my stepdads sister died to this cause and seeing how hurt he was from it gave me another reason to never even attempt to dabble in drugs nor fuel someone else’s drug issues
im in Greeneville, TN its pretty bad down here as well with the fentanyl pressed blues im now on day 4 being sober thank god im finally doing it! ive been addicted to them for the past 2-3 years im about to be 23 and i have a 6 year old son. and thankfully i still have my girl thats always stuck by my side and has supported me through anything. ive been smoking weed since age 11 and yanno drinking with friends and shit 15 16 years old my nana died of cancer years ago when i was 16 and had a kid on the way and then my mom overdosed not even a couple months after my nana died but ive always told myself i wouldnt do pills and then one shitty emotional day i started doing oxycodone pills and then went through other people that were cheaper and i knew what was in them but for some reason that didnt stop me.
Tommy G is gonna hit 1mil subs in the next week or two, let’s gooooo
Damn I didn’t realize how close he was getting 🥳
I live down the road in Lincoln, thanks for sharing. Congratulations to everyone on sobriety-recognize Jenny and just want to say way to go and keep being strong. Take everything one day at a time 💙
Oh boy I passed thru and holy shit it’s M3th CENTRAL
Gotta love lincoln, gbr
I’m 6 years clean off Meth. Recovery is possible but it’s simply a day by day, really minute by minute, but being able to recreate a beautiful life for yourself is so worth it.
I have never been addicted to drugs and I am so careful even with prescribed medication from the doctor to only take a minimum amount for the shortest time because I never want to be addicted. I have had a broken back and both knees have been replaced so my doctor has prescribed some heavy pain meds for me but fear of addiction is greater than the pain for me. I feel like becoming an addict is worse than dying. It’s so sad that more people don’t feel that way.
8:51 why is she dressed like a nurse 🤣
