@@diewilde13 Congrats on your clean time! wooohoo!
Congratulations & Best Wishes Proud of You 😁😁😁😁😁🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
Ms Susan do you know if there's any programs out of state that will take my insurance? I dunno how that works till I can call my insurance Monday. Seen ur comment on top so that's why I'm asking you. Just asked ng around seeing what I can come up with. Had almost 5 months sober and relapsed recently. Not a major relapse but never the less a relapse. Need to get back out of my mom's and into a program again that I can start stacking days and making progress again.
@Aka awesome 10 million views Go get it then brother. I relapse recently. Almost 5 months sober. I know I have to make a move again to get myself into some structure again. Check where I went wrong and work on it. Hope all goes well for you man. Do yourself a favor and get into a program if your still in active addiction. Hope all will be well for you. God bless
I got clean thru NA. 3O years in active addiction. Coming up on a year for the first time. I surrendered. No reservations.
Meetings,service and step work.
Fellowship/Program saved my life.
It is a great tool. I'm so glad it worked for you!! CONGRATULATIONS on your sobriety!!!!
Unfortunately each person is so different....and many many people need inpatient rehabilitation. Often times for much longer than 90 days.....
CONGRATULATIONS,, My story is so personal I can't share it on here i can say this much though I lost every penny in one day i was ROBBED i almost did something that would have sent me to prison or would have gotten me killed all because of my USING I remember crying because of what happened, anyway I let it go would have been locked up now and regretting my actions, thank God I don't touch anything anymore and the only drink I have is water,,, Godbless

Thank you for being honest , you deserve everything 💫❤️
God bless you brother and thank you for your honesty and story, YOU GOT THIS!!!
It is outrageous that treatment costs money. Drug addicts usually don't have jobs or insurance or money. You need universal health care so you all can get treatment. Drug addiction is a health problem, and does not belong in a system that is for profit.
NA is free.
And because of that Bernie 2020!
@@VICMORROWFAN is NA an inpatient treatment facility?
MassEffectGER and then pay 53% more taxes so it’s not exactly free
Being a drug addict is not a disease
Going rehab program tomorrow, an offer was given me, with all help to rehabilitate, come off drugs and change my selfview. 180 degress inc. life here i come!!! - with knowledge, and im open to it plus peace and tranquility from rehab... i will take control again, and be the man i was supposed to all along, this is my road
Good luck friend!!! You can do it!
Thanks for sharing your story. Proud of you

keep it up brother thanks for sharing your pain im in recovery my self and everyday is hard keep it up be you for you
If you can’t get into a treatment center, you could always go into a shelter, they usually have 9 month programs where you can live there and receive counseling for free. I’m going into one of the programs Monday coming up in Miami Fla✊🏾
Well done, u have came so far, keep it up, im actually an alcoholic as i write this.
Hope you have managed to or manage to get some help.
Looking healthy. Been clean for a years. Had a 15 year crack and heroin addiction
Beautiful.
First and for most I want too say thank you for sharing your story and how you where able to overcome addiction wish nothing but the best for you my names Eddie I was addicted to her ion and been sober for 2 years and have a baby girl now I’m blessed too say my addiction is all behind me now I went through a lot at a young age and didn’t understand why I became such a bad addict but as I went too classes for addiction I found out what it was that I was struggling with as a person that been through so much I lost my mom when I was 14 and just a few months later I lost my brother so just being a kid hanging with the wrong crowd I found a way too help with the pain which with the I come too realize what I learned in class I never properly healed from all I been through I just thought I could share some of my story
I fucking feel you brother. I’m in tears right noe
I have two daughters battleling drugs right now ...my oldest daughter just got her teeth knocked out two days ago...I Kid You Not!!!!!!by a pimp or a dealer ...its so hard as a parent not to be able to open the door for them to come home she has got her self in severe danger...I live in fear for both daughters ,but I Dont think its anything bad they went threw my husband and I provided a happy atmosphere most of the time ,they were loved..I believe thief is a genetic factor that determines if a person will like the effect of the drug or not ..If u like the effect .its like a ball it starts to roll in the fun direction its hard to stop the ball,,so u get hooked ...my husbands mom has always abused pills taken hetion cocaine...I met her when I was sixteen,im 47 now ,she has always battled the addiction.... its a family gene, my two daughters have the gene..my youngest daughter wants nothing to do with her sisters,,I am a mom I choose to love them anyway.

Plz look into kratom.. it saved me
I feel for u going through the addiction thing with myself for 10 yrs clean for 4 yrs now,and going through it with my ,22 y.old son.
Some people may be genetically predisposed. But why do children spin in the yard with their hands out? For the altered feeling? God be with us all
I believe Addiction is genetic mixed with poor coping mechanisms. I was on top of the world & lost it all. I’ve started over 3x & this time when I went to rehab i remained clean- 4 years in October!
Something is broken, almost no addict is gonna have Insurance or money for anything other than substances & thats a destructive mission. There needs to be a more realistic way. Gotta appreciate the honesty & still young w/ his whole life ahead. Things can be so dark, then even a year or even just months later life can get brighter. Faith in God & keeping our eyes on His Goodness will put life in right perspective, we can step out of darkness into His Marvelous Light by His Mercy & grow in His Grace
How many more people will die or continue the addict life until we can make treatment affordable and available to people like yourself. As most know admitting you have a problem is the first step and I hear so many stories of people realizing it but search for treatment that isn't available then they end up in the morgue from an OD because they couldn't get the help they wanted and needed!
@ryan mcguinness I admire what you've done it's an inspiration to all that they can do it also
I hope you are one of those people who can win
Thnk 4 the msg
I'm 45 years old and been on drugs since I was 15 I have wanted to be clean for at least the last 14 years. I've seen people that say it's possible and how much better life is. Well good for all you people. I've tried everything including allot of prayer and even tho I'm not on allot anymore I still take something daily. I will never be able to say I've been clean my whole adult life before I pass on it's just not possible for me
Been there with my family See i know how you that very much true
Hope all is well now. Just getting this video. You look 40ish here.

different country same story. Greetings from Poland.
Am a lean codeine addict I wanna stop
How does one explain this man's very muscular build ? Don't think that a recent drug user would look like this.
Gemini3 Gemini3 one important aspect of recovery is building the body back to its healthiest state. Working out regularly is a great way for recovering addicts to cope with stress and other triggers that they had previously used drugs and alcohol to cope with.
Sure they can
Addicts can look all types of ways.
My name is Steven too 😂
Man it's like I made that video. No insurance no treatment! It's all bullshit. I'm at the point where I would rather be dead than live like this. I'd take help rn but it's impossible
dudes got some fuckin PYTHONS for a recovering addict
hes 24? he looks 40

You wouldn't believe my story if all the evidence was destroyed. I am a psychologist, economist, thinker in addiction recovery and I don't know much, but I know what I know, that you are like me, imperfect, and life teaches with consequences. I offer a reward for whoever helps me overcome the most severe and devastating censorship in history in a social media era for many years so the discoveries of the nature of addiction, God and money are revealed. You can prove it. I reward for doing what should be done without reward. To understand only to want to understand is required. We live in a society that if you play well football by the time puberty is reached the biggest clubs would scout you to offer big money to hire the potential star, but the greatest thinker of all time without a line on a Wikipedia page is ostracised socially being censored because humanity can not tolerate disagreement or different understandings of reality. I truly don't know how to explain my situation anymore because I am not understood, and people don't care. Humanity don't care about learning because are censoring knowledge, because they think they know enough believing they know everything not understanding anything. Nobody benefits censoring knowledge, ideas, understandings of reality. Knowledge is good. I can prove addiction is the psychology of a liar and the brain disease of addiction doesn't exist. Where are evidence driven atheists and conspiracy theorists when you need them? What is news? Do you think you are being informed of what is going on in the world, the reality of life, history? I challenge humanity on the debate claiming that atheism and religion are misunderstandings of reality harmful to God's Life. The lives of your children, all future generations, depend on knowledge being known. Peace is the truth away. The debate between atheists and religious people is stagnated because God exists because nothing can be created from nothing therefore the creation needs the creator to exist, and the religious god doesn’t because hatred is not perfect love. The only way to end religion is with the first unique unambiguous theory on God based on logic and rational thinking ever written in social media. The importance and urgency can not be overestimated. I just want the censorship to end and addiction recovery to begin. Humanity are living a nightmare in active addiction dying deceiving deceived because are not honest, because parents don't teach their children to be honest, because are not honest themselves. What parents teach their children? I am talking about freedom of expression, of being honest. God is the Mind Healer and whoever lives by God for God doing what is right regardless of law would not suffer addiction and other mental health problems. I hope my truth is understood for God's sake. To discover the nature of addiction, God and money you have to think a lot for yourself being honest, it is not easy addiction recovery, the greatest achievement of all time.
God bless you, Jesus loves you
@@BrittanyandJesus If you don't understand why logically the universe can not be eternal is because atheists want you ignorant asking the most imbecile question of all eternal time "who created god?", and if you don't understand why "who created god?" is irrational is because the cult wants you ignorant. "Who created god?" is the most imbecile question of all eternal time because no other question has brought more death, suffering and destruction than the atheist remark, because the belief inmune to arguments that everything came from nothing and therefore there are not consequences for our behavior beyond the finitude of life creates a selfish and arrogant mindset manifested in destructive political ideologies like communism and insane behaviors like serial killing. Atheists believe there is nothing more important than oneself not wanting to understand that we are part of a whole infinitely more important than ourselves. Atheism is a logical fallacy or lie that harms innocent and vulnerable children that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly that no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. The atheist logical fallacy would test your IQ and if you don't understand it children would explain it to you because it is easy to understand being honest and impossible lying to oneself. Atheists would ask "why not believing in fairy tales is a logical fallacy?" confirming I am right and atheists believe God is sky daddy and they don't believe God exists, and they are wrong because they believe. God is the creator of the creation and sky daddy is the religious idea of God. Atheism is a logical fallacy regardless because the reasoning does not lead to the conclusion that no creator exists. To understand atheism is a logical fallacy ask yourself why atheists address God as "he". Atheism defends an idea without any arguments and the result are confusing verbiage, pedantry, quantum physics a la carte and innumeral irrational remarks like "you assume the creation", "if your god comes from nothing the universe can come from nothing". God is necessary for existence because from non existence can not be created existence. The existence of the intelligent creator of the creation means that a reality of a different nature than the universe exists. To honour the truth would you admit atheism is a logical fallacy?
