I’m 180 days 100% clean. I never went this long before, booze and any pill you can imagine. I’m only 22. Glad I get to lead a sober life for my daughter.
You can be successful in your sobriety. You deserve the best.
Respect yourself and that’s it! Then You’re on the right way hunnie 💚
Well done
That's AWESOME CONGRATULATIONS 👍👍🙏🙏🙂🙂✌
Keep fighting the good fight,my guy! It gets easier, it gets better. Im almost 8yrs clean/sober. Good luck to you on your journey 🤟✌
Be strong! Regards from Australia 👍
“i’m tired of the devil chasing me while i’m chasing god” 🥺😞
😔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This lady is in my prayers. God will do amazing things if she let's Him in.
l feel this so deeply
That was a word!!! Oh lord cover her.
I pray for her 🥺😞🤍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
She's so honest. She tell her story knows what she's doing wrong and able to admit it. I pray that she overcome her mental struggles
also how she acknowledges the fact that she aint going to stop anytime soon. She's being honest with us but more importantly herself. I hope one day she wakes with the strength to no longet want or need those drugs
🙏🏾
Living walking testimony ohhh sista waitin till GOD gets ahold of you. Smhh your going to save alot of young ladies who think they cant make it. GODs got a job for you my sista!!! Be blessed
@@angelawalker2906 AMEN!!! I pray God takes the taste of drugs away from her! She will be a powerhouse for God! Her vulnerability is beautiful!
Shaletia maybe 10% honest. I don’t think she’s honest enough to report the rape of her daughter (I didn’t hear her say it) & go to rehab. She said she doesn’t want help. she been depressed all her life.
I don’t think Shaletia wanna do the work to get clean & sober. There is life after addiction. A better life living pill free.
She interviewed herself.
Right, this was the first interview that Mark didnt ask any questions
Basically
DANG, that's what I wanted to SAY, but I couldn't be find the words in my mind, or mouth. Thank you, I was thinking the same thing.
Honestly these are the interviewees that improve the most since they seem the most self aware
Like Mark ain’t even say Hi 😂
She has a very powerful voice. She’s well spoken and organizes her thoughts in a way many people can’t.
Damn sure do.
@@Jetsetfastfood I apologize. I don’t read through all of the comments. Ummm… eloquent?
@@MrMann77 wait are you using eloquent in the literal sense?
Listening to her I feel like if she had a good childhood she could have gone into theater
She sounds so much like Viola Davis in HTGAWM
Shes tellin it all. Lay your burdens down child.
God bless her😇❤
🙌🙌🙌
😔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
❤️
Amen 🙏
I like when Mark barely has to ask questions & we still get a good interview
🙌🏾🥺
Yes!
Yea, she just wanted someone to listen to her clear ger chest
I'm so proud of you for what you have accomplished. Try your best to try again. You are a Wonderful person and a great speaker.
He’s best when he doesn’t speak. He has little to offer these people other than miney
I still struggle on and off with addiction. Started with pills and the pain clinic.. My first drug dealer was a doctor... 😔I can relate SO much to a lot of different parts of her story. Wow.
Mine too😕! I wish you the best, stay strong.♥️💯
Stay strong !! It’s hard ! Relapse is a part of recovery ! You will make it just keep going and don’t give up!!
Same... 2 back surgery's and never ending pain meds... Lucky I have an amazing wife!
@@huntergla81 thats right i feel ya
You HAVE THIS MOMMAS 💞🏆
If you saw your man molesting your 14yr old sister, why let him watch your children? I feel like the cycle just continues, and goes on and on....
We have to stop generational curses
Better yet these women need to be taught to use birth control.
I agree sis. It made absolutely no sense to leave him with the kids as if pedophilia wasn't already shown within her children's father.
@@mzfancy4767 STERILIZATION is the only solution
Yes we do!
@@ronniemead805 how abt mass vasectomies for societies equally accountable male counterpart
Sadly, as per these stories told by completely different people - the route cause of long term drug addiction appears to be child abuse. Of course not always but often enough. Protect and watch over the children.
Is like a simple math formula. Child abuse and abandonment issues followed by molestationI in Your early teens then later seeing one of your parents use or sel drugs and you can bet 99% of those people use drugs and or alcohol
Are you crazy? Drug abuse? The route cause is clearly a lack of a father. You ain’t been paying attention
They get molested because they don’t have men to protect them or the men supposed to protect them molest them
Amen!!
@@downwiththezionistpsychopa9812 isn't it both? This is a complex issue. Fathers are very important but ppl are not crazy for pointing out drug abuse, adults doing drugs in front of kids, overall toxic unstable upbringings also as a catalyst of this route in life.
To whom it may concern, don't give up, please..........🙏🏾
The most beautiful comment I’ve seen.
I refuse to give up cause using is not an option.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen to that
Thank u love 💯❣️💪🏿
Wow she really just needed you to listen, thank you so much for interviewing this resilliant woman.
I watch this channel to remind me of when I was an active heroin user.
It reminds me of when I had no self esteem or self worth.
It reminds me of the stupid shit I did to get money.
It reminds me of how low I was.
It reminds me of everything I lost.
I NEVER want to go back to that life.
Come 23DEC20 I will be clean for 17yrs.
I feel for every person he interviews. I pray one day they find the peace I found.
Thank you, Mark.
It keeps me humble that’s for sure
Congrats on your sobriety . Stay strong !
❤️...
Congratulations!!
💞🏆💞
Damn this made me wanna be a good husband in my thirties.... feel like all the men in her life failed her
I'm happy u feel that way!! That's awesome
Be a good man now xx
Yeah you're a good man because you felt her words but you can always be a better man 🙏
Please become the man that God has called you to be. God bless you.
So u already a husband and now wanna start being good?
I almost died on H. Thankful I’ve been sober for 4 years now. U can do it guys
Congratulations! You must be a really strong person
@@arlenabrown1815 thank you. And your right I’m a monster it gave me strength that’s for sure , I appreciate the words
♥️♥️♥️♥️

Pills where HUGE in my high school...so glad I never gave in at parties... glad I had my dad around

This woman is REAL!! honey I can 1000% relate to every single word you spoke!!! I am battling addiction too! And I think just like you!!! That you for being brave enough to say what a lot of us addict are too scared to say!!!
I pray for your troubles that you will overcome
I’m thinking of you. I hope you overcome what you need too and have the beautiful life you deserve. It’s possible.
Yasss this is my favorite video that has summed up everything I'm going through and still going through.
Shaletia, you're a beautiful human being. Sending you love and blessings, my friend.
I was thinking the same thing. She is beautiful.
Dam, man. This channel is most def a self awareness mechanism of our daily miscellaneous complaints & a reality check in my daily life & privileged childhood. Geez. Wishing her so so much joy & perseverance
I swear. I watch to stop complaining over silly shit.
Facts
Exactly
she’s been *waiting* to tell this story for ages.
Amen 🙏
She said the devil steady chasing me while I'm trying to chase God. Damn.... She so desperately wants to change but just can't seem to find the strength. She needs a village of support. 😢♥️♥️♥️♥️
My GOD, lord please please go see about her.
14 months sober myself, hang in there! I never thought I'd get clean but then one day it just clicked, I didn't want that life anymore. You can get clean too! God Bless you hun!
Stay strong Doug 🙏🏽
Girl yes! Bake bake bake! Open up that bakery!! Your daughter/ grandkids will be so proud!! You can do it!!
Shaletia's Sweets lol. If I lived near her, I'd go buy something every week after watching this
Lack of education, abuse and drugs are Almost a certainty for a rough life.
Even education kinda goes down the drain when you start doing hard drugs.. Drugs is destroyers of life and will spoil all the good things around you.
Very true
You Ain't Never Lied!!
And now Purdue says they’re bankrupt.
An who THE fuc cares about purdue. Please miss me and this beautiful lady with the sarcasm. BYE👋
I can totally relate, I used to take pills, smoke weed 24/7, drink 24/7. It's a trap especially when your not where you want to be. I've gone cold turkey for 4 weeks now, got a good job. The best way to stay away from addictions is to stay busy and have aspirations & goals.. That's what worked for me and I've already began to feel better, more motivated and more clear headed. She can do this, she's a strong lady I can tell and she's very clued up.
I’m proud of you. 🥰🥰❤️ I’m four years clean. I hope you are still in recovery ❤️🩹 you can do this
@@plantbasedunicorn7995 Still going strong! I'm in a amazing place :)
@@JulezX.X that’s amazing 🥰❤️
@@JulezX.X Great! So happy for you!
When will society start holding parents accountable for abandoning their children? Parents matter.
yes, more pain and punishment will fix it
you're a genius. you solved the problem
@@BritainsAyahuascaChurch Grow up
In some cases their parents endured the similar abuse. Trauma passed down.
@@kinafields1520 Parents matter. Your right.
Unfortunately, there's a stereotype that says black women are so strong, powerful, we can go through extreme abuse and torture but still raise up to the top. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of black women like that. But black women like her ( and myself) people who struggle to deal with trauma or litterally can't function because they can't handle the feelings they have what do we do for them? Call them failures? Why do we as a society have such little compassion for quote on quote weak black women or black women who need help, who need somebody to help them? Even in the media no one shows the affect of abuse on black women at all. We're always seen as single as if we don't deserve partners who love us.
I wish black men knew that putting all this pressure on black women and children to shut up and be quiet about physical and or sexual abuse is actually hurting the black community. And we need to support the ones who can't do it all alone.
🥺🥺🙌🏾🙌🏾
Truth
Not just the black men but the black community not wanting they "business" out by telling the truth. After watching so many of these people, it seems that most of their issues started as children with trauma. I pray that my child never has to endure a fraction of the pain that these people have gone through. I've fought with addiction for years but one main thing changed and that was having a child. I pray that God gives me the ability to protect my child so he doesn't have to go through any of the things these people have. As a blk woman, we are looked upon as always having to be strong and independent. Sometimes we do need a hand but we don't have anyone to reach out to. It's crazy the things we as black women have to endure and prove that we deserve love and protection and a chance at survival.
I think black parents in general need to stop mislabelling mental fatigue and issues as "white people stuff". We need to learn that we are human. Our brain emotes and sometimes we are hurt and need healing. Stio being so resilient and let someone help you. I legit can not wait to go back to counseling. Best thing I've went through. 😄
Well said & thank you for speaking to our plight. - A Black Woman Survivor of all you so clearly mentioned above
She is very honest . I hope she can get clean one day . She seems very smart and in tune with herself
I'm watching this wearing my new Soft White Underbelly shirt, and it's a fitting topic as I overcame dependency on pills in the past, and nothing could free me from it until I truly found my faith in God.
Congrats ! Keep going with your sobriety !!
I got you beat. I’m on the sofa, chillin in my underwear, while eating my fav Cheetos. This is what you call livin the life!
God can deliver us from so many things!
I want a shirt! How can I get one?!
@@lionness49 Huh? Who are you responding to?
If this is how she feels now, imagine how strong she'll be when 'God picks her up.'
I MEAN YOU BETTER PREACH‼‼‼
Oh My GOD In The Name Of JESUS Amen She'll Be A STRONG FORCE IN THE ARMY OF THE LORD!!! Thank You Father GOD For PATIENCE With Me Showing UNCONDITIONAL UNBOUNDING LOVE!!! HEALING My BODY Internally And Externally Nothing But The BLOOD OFF JESUS!!! Blessings To You Sista!🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS🙏🏼
THAT'S THE PART THAT REALLY MATTER ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
MY GOD JUST LOOK OUT GOD IS ABOUT TO MOVE IN HER LIFE SO FAST 💯💪🏿 BLACK DON'T CRACK. STRONG WOMAN SHE REALLY IS EVEN IF SHE DON'T SEE IT JUST YET.. LET'S KEEP HER IN PRAYER 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💛
In Jesus name I pray for us both and our offspring (my baby and shaletia babies) Amen 🙏
Amen
1st get sober. 2nd Start baking out of your apartment. Sell slices of cakes, half cakes, whole cakes etc. 3rd Stack your paper, you can get that bakery one day.
It's gonna be hard but it can be done. Get strong and stay strong. 🙏
I love your mind set my brother in Christ ❤️
@@MissPreciousdabney love your advice and energy. Hell you just encouraged me
How can people dislike this video? Thank you for telling your story.
Because she's feeling sorry for herself when her kids were abandoned, they didn't choose to be here. Then she left her kids with a man who raped a 14 yr old. I have more empathy for the kids than her.
Because she is playing victim, and you are too blind or stupid to see.
Why do these women always leave the children with the abusers?? Whether it be spouse or grandparent it keeps happening.
Chasing the street life
Thank you. Like that’s not smart at all.
Yup
Yeah this is not the first time and i don't and will not understand WHY?
Well most do not. It’s a flip of a coin because the child is as likely as not to be abused in Foster Care.
My God, she gave me goosebumps with her story. Satan, leave her be. May God help her. She has potential to get well. ❤️
AMEN!!
I STAND IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU‼
Hallelujah in the name of Jesus oh hallelujah 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
AMEN!!!
Love her honesty, truth. I pray she finds the strength and help she needs. I pray God save her sooner than later.
Tough woman. She’s been though it all.
Pills are no joke. A lot of people think it’s safe cause it’s legal or doc writes scrip. I’ve witnessed a lot of people abuse Xanax and adderall it can get pretty nasty.
Dam this was deep! Mark checked out from asking questions! This wasnt an interview this was a testimony! Not a pen drop in the room! Update! 🙏🏿
This was a very powerful testimony from this woman, hopefully she reads these comments and knows that we stand behind her change and appreciate her existence for who she is today. To keep pushing because she's almost there & to never give up on a better life.. everything starts from now. Keep your head up Queen
Yes, i hope she reads your nice comment! 😘
I STAND IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU‼
@@PHOENIX966 i appreciate u & i mean my thoughts are that if we not uplifting each other in any and everything we strive to to then history just will keep repeating itself, slowly but surely hopefully we all learn to really stand together and look out for our own people like no one else does or ever will, even if it's with positive words for one another. Blessings 🙏
"Shalieta's Devine Bakery" I can see it now. God loves you. Keep the faith. He has a plan for you. 💓🥧🍪🍰🍮🎂🍩
Amen
Amen 🙏
Shaletia's Sweets came to mind lmao. I don't have anything against her not wanting to stop popping pills to numb her trauma. I'd support tf out of her business if I lived near her
Hopefully she uses less as time passes and good things start coming her way
I can too. Manifest destiny for her. 💕✨
Wow, we’re the same age... even shared the same addiction at one point. I started abusing pain pills when a doctor prescribed them to me, of course it was my choice to abuse them, but that’s how it all started. I hated who I became, I was a shell of myself and I wanted to change, so I got help. I wish that you wanted it too. I hope that you will have a change of heart.
I'm glad you were able to see it and get yourself help... X
As someone who currently has a pill addiction, every single word you said.. is exactly how I feel. To the tea. The pills have a hold on my body. I hope I can recover. I hope you can recover. You’re so strong for realizing it’s a problem. Please please do it for yourself🖤 wishing you an eternity of happiness :)
You can and will. Sending you love and hugs.
Thank you so much for all of the amazing work you do - these people deserve to be heard, helped, and loved. Much love 💙💙
Shaletia you are strong you are a STRONG BLACK WOMEN WE CAN DO ANYTHING ! you are strong i believe in you . its all love over here babe . I SUPPORT YOU .
I can relate to everybody he interview pray for strength god hear your cry he hear mine
My god when she said shes 38 I was shocked I thought 48. Hard life, honest woman
Wow, she got me at the end with "...tired of the Devil chasing me, while I'm chasing God."
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
girl lets get you your ged and start from there. MOVE SMALL, do not overwhelm yourself. You are still young.
Shits fucced up i was on oxycotin heavily 150 mg’s a day for 2 and a half years im now 10 days clean not long but the longest ive been clean hoping i dont go back
This was a really tough interview for me to watch. She herself is a victim. I am conflicted because of what she is doing, has done, continues to do...
It just seems very poor me, I want to change but I don't want to change....
For her sake, for her children's sake and for the sake of the people she supplies, I hope she makes better choices and that we see an update video in the future where things are very different
She is a victim..and she's an addict. And she is trying. At least she can admit it, which is wht you have to do first. So she's on her way to better, we just need to meet her where she is and lift her up. God changes things!!
An addict's and addict. There's a defect in the brain. It doesn't discriminate.
A very strong & courageous woman telling such a heart wrenching life story😪. I so hope she receives support, kindness & hope towards building a new life. 🙏
Sending love from Australia 💕
I BELIEVE IN YOU🌈
Very COURAGEOUS, I can't TELL MY STORY, I'm ASHAMED.
She’s such a great speaker I can listen to her all day
OMG I love her, she is so real and honest!!!! It takes such strength to be as transparent as she is, my heart goes out to her!
this is one of the BEST interviews you've ever done.. lol well its like a storytime cause you didn't really have to say anything she went down the time line, telling and asking things to herself, with ease without u having to ask a single question..
She keeps blaming the devil rather than being responsible for her own actions to be accountable for. She says that she's tired while in the same breath states that she doesn't want to change. Then she's not that tired yet. The change, true change starts and begins with herself.
Totally agree with you. It's victim mentality
I was thinking this too especially after she said that her bd raping her sister was something he did to her.
Changing ,confronting and growing is so hard. Accepting responsibility for such horrible things when you are already down.... man. That’s why she just wants to be numb. She doesn’t think she’s capable or ready to be the victor yet ! But God!
Right
Sometimes a person are not ready to pump the breaks on being a victim
She did state that she wants to change but she's not strong enough..
She is SO captivating. Thank you for telling your story, you have a beautiful way of speaking that’s so honest and true - I couldn’t help but listen. You’re gonna make it out girl, you have the wisdom and the power and the faith.
I am just salivating over her rawness and sheer honesty! Why can't more ppl be like HER?
I am glad Shaletia has a chance to tell her story. A shame her grandmothers passed away. She needs someone to care about her and listen to her. Wish I could give her a hug and make it better.
She wants people to CARE about her. Some people don't CARE about others. They can see you HURT, have the ability to help you, but will not. How can people be so COLD? I CARE, if I can help, I will. Those same people who don't care, will have their DAY.
It angers me, as someone that has MS, epilepsy, and Migraines, that the CDC has prevented doctors from prescribing pain medication, necessary to live a productive life, to this lady, that sells and abuses those same pills many of the chronic pain folks are committing suicide, because they can’t find proper pain management.
She said her family doesn’t check on her, yet in the same breath, said her uncle gave her a car. She has a place to live, and a car, and says she’s not going to change, or try to change. She contradicted herself several times. I wish her well, but she needs to stop being the perpetual victim, and realize the blessings she has. She’s making excuses for her behavior. Give it to God, NOW.
She wishes the best for herself? What about her kids? Her sister? This was a tough one for me.
It is extremely heartbreaking that those with chronic pain aren't allowed to have the medicine they need to have a half way productive life.
@@marylougeorge9890, absolutely.
I agree about the pain patients and the suicide. Its truly not fair for the pain patients to have to live every minute in pain.
As a pain patient: AMEN.
I dont think shes playing victim at all ! Shes saying what most drug abusers won't say & that's that she enjoys being high .
Other addicts pretend its for "pain" (Not all but alot) but it's really an addiction that initially started from them being in pain...
Also anyone can get methadone which is a two for 1 ..Its a pain medication & also used to get off of drugs..Maybe those in pain who cant get legal narcotics could try that ..
I felt so many of these sentiments. "Why am I still fighting against this? Why am I still alone?" Hits me right at the bottom of my heart. I'm admittedly too high to really feel it right now, but I understand. I wish I was different. I'm a different human with entirely different traumas, but we are so similar. I watch so many of these interviews. The only difference between us is that I somehow manage a decent full-time job and hold my apartment down. For now. Yet it makes me no better. I see these lost souls in myself. I am no better or worse. Demons are demons. Who knows where I'll be in 5 years. I drop 30%+ of my income monthly on my addictions. I'm only 33. It's always been this way. I'm not where I was, but I'm definitely far from where I thought I would be. May we find our peace someday. Or some version of true happiness. One day we will be enough. I really hope so, anyways. Until then, we numb it. It's how we survive. Rinse, wash, repeat, survive.
Signed, a high-functioning addict stuck in the same mental cycle who wishes they could give you a hug.
THIS WAS POWERFUL TO ME AND I'M PRAYING FOR YOU‼
Thanks for sharing Mark! This was a different “interview”,I hope she finds what she’s looking for.
We still salute you queen! You have so many people praying for you.
Free birth control, especially IUD’s would stop these cycles of poverty and abuse in a small way. These women would not get trapped in cycles of abuse , drugs and having children they can’t take care of.
Birth control is free
Yeah Im 28 married w/ a 1 yr old & have an iud it’s a 5 yr kyleena one none hormonal and I think it would be great for young women to have that option from middle school on up. It would completely eradicate teen pregnancy and it should be made to be the girls choice not the parents. Birth control doesn’t automatically mean the kid is gonna have sex but it does keep them protected from one of the top two dangers or young sex 1.) getting stds 2.) teen pregnancy.
@@lexieburnafteruroll We do not have a teen pregnancy “epidemic” anymore.
@@punkrockstar did I say there was an teen pregnancy epidemic ??? Don’t put words in my mouth.
It is a problem that should be none existent in a 1st world country though. No way ppl not even old enough to live on their own vote or to have done their own taxes should be able to bare and raise a child. Only adults should be having children.
@@lexieburnafteruroll I had the arm implant for birth control, it messed w my Weight. How is Kylenna? You are very smart, Im 34, 2 kidz. Hearing so many stories reminds me why? Is inresponsable to just keep popping kidz out with no stability or future
At least she admitted she comfortable with her LIFE...
That's because SHE'S not sure how to get that new LIFE ! She is the only one that can change her LIFE !!!
She knows how to do it, she is just too LOW on HERSELF
Be kind yall
My oldest brother used to say, if you don't deal with your problems, they will deal with you. I understand her. Until she heals from the pain of her abuse, she will keep numbing the pain. No, judgement, only 🙏🙏🙏❤️.
At least she kept it a buck
Did she report the baby father ?! Also I was always told GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELPS THEMSELVES.
Not true if you could help yourself then why would you need God. He said call unto me and I will answer. You must seek him
That's actually nowhere in the bible....ijs.
Not true at all God dont want you to do it on your own He wants to take care of all your needs
That's not in the bible love
Sounds like my story so so much... This one means alot and I'm from Louisiana too
Me too
Me too. I just got married in Italy. Won't he do it.
This woman has a good story to tell. You can relate to it. She is one of those people who need intense coaching....some job-training, and a little bit of help to reach a regular life. I would not classify her as crazy or such. She just found bad path and never got off that path.
“I left my kids with the man who raped my sister” is where I stopped being able to relate...
I appreciate all the people in this channel. Hearing their stories make me appreciate the good things. Bad days come and go but life could get much worse. I respect her and her perspective. I wish her happiness no matter in what form 💜
Wow. She is an amazing story teller. The way she speaks so passionately. I was riveted!
Forgive yourself.
I appreciate her honesty.
A couple of years ago, my father and my step mom adopted my step moms grandchildren because their mother, and father, was irresponsible and on drugs. My siblings and I were annoyed at the time Because we wanted our father to experience our lives as adults. But after watching these videos I see how my father is needed in other places. I would never want my little step/ adopted sisters to go through this. Never.
Sometimes all a child needs is guidance to the right path 💓
I love this channel for giving us the oportunity to meet real people. Seeing her cry broke my heart into pieces. This cycle of abuse is terrifying, life done her wrong. I truly wish her the best, she deserves so so much better. Please do an update on her in the following months, I need to see her getting better :(
She is so real and honest. Gotta respect it. I pray she gets clean and stay clean. GOD BLESS HER
I hope she finds the strength to turn things around, get clean, and be there for her kids.
I want to tell her I see both grandmothers on either side of her with their hands on her shoulder. They are smiling, and looking like we got her!
The things is.. you being strong for your kids. ! Your honesty transparency and humility will save their lives
This is a beautiful comment! 💯
Thank you sometimes I see spirits
I swear her honesty and acknowledgment of the situation could empower her to help and counsel women from her background.....she’s a survivor...full of strength and courage....she deserves a place in this world i love her i pray for her.
I admire her honesty and transparency
The most heartbreaking is that she hasn’t forgiven herself. She won’t let go of that demon which is why she can’t move past it. I wish her all the best and hope she can be sober one day
Shaletia, Thank you for sharing your story with us. I hate what happened to you and the pain you feel. You’re not alone. So many dealt really shitty cards some definitely worse than others. Nonetheless suffering is suffering. I understand 100% why anyone would reach for something that gives you relief or perceived relief, however fleeting. I do it, so many do it in every form imaginable. It doesn’t speak for your character your identity. YOU ARE NOT BAD, ITS WHAT YOUVE KNOWN. Environment matters more than I think people understand. On a chemical biological physiological level. You have tremendous insight and IMO exude incredible strength and resilience. I believe in you beautiful woman 🙏🏽❤️ hugs.
🙌🏾🥺🙏🏾
I watch all your episodes and this one is so real and raw. I feel her pain😔.
There’s so much pain in this world. With each unique story, I’m reminded that we all hurt and before I react, I pause and wonder what unhidden pain someone else could be going through-and I always considered myself more empathetic than most.
Thanks Mark and everyone you interview❤️
Go to McDonald's they will hire you on the spot! Go to fast food they would love you. You have management qualities. You would move up sooner than you think. You already have a place already, you halfway there! You have set yourself apart from a lot of people on this show. You know that you can do better. You want to do right! You are amazing!
McDonald's is paying more these days which is good, but not everyone with an addiction can hold a job without getting the right help first.
She's saying all the right words but until she's ready what she speaks will only be WORDS!!!! good luck sis!!!!
I'm praying for her total and complete recovery.
She's so genuine and I pray for her. She has a testimony.
Please don't give up and YES YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH!!!!!!
She has a powerful story and a powerful testimony and the power to change we are all rooting and praying for you girl! You have came a long way and will go a long way
I was a bit confused with her story, as she did a lot of double talking. However, it is her story, her experience, & her life. Wish her the best
What is double talking?
@@melaniegonzalezart8506 Listen to it again🤷🏾♀️
Double talking, I do want to get off drugs, I don't want to get off drugs... I do want help, I don't want help... 🤔
Yea like... Has housing, but then said she was on the street... Maybe I misunderstood but maybe she's jumping around... So I'm told that's what I used to do on pills... I never believed it but...
@@lenajones3407 She said she has a house; takes drugs and wakes up in another state because she took a bus. Listen man.
This is one of the realist interview I've ever watched.
This sweet lady is so articulate. I hope she can get herself clean. She'd be a great motivational speaker to share her own story to inspire others. It's heartbreaking to hear her story.
Shaletia, you express yourself so well and Real. So thankful you have that helpful uncle ☀️
This lady is blessed in so many ways
Honey, you're a truly gifted speaker! Stop blaming- and start forgiving yourself. 🙏🏻 You must want the change with ALL of your heart, or nothing will EVER change ( for the better ). Throw those pills away ffs. You owe it to yourself. You would make one hell of an inspirational speaker!! 🗣 Good luck to you 🍀🙌
She needs a hug from Iyanya.
@@lionness49 true, but maybe that’s what she needs
Yes. That bossum hug lol
Iyanla will make sure she acknowledges her part in her life. Accountability as well as the hug.
A hug period in general
I used to watch Iyanya when she was on a show with other people. I really liked it. "Fix my Life" or some crazy name. lol
I enjoyed your story Shaletia! We all go through hard times in our lives! You're a positive person Shaletia and never give up in your life and continue to focus on your future goals! God is going to bless you. Stand strong 🙏😘
I hope she finds the strength to get clean, she’s looking for emotional support from family, I hope she tells them or they see this video so she can get the help she needs!
Definition of if you don’t fix you on the inside, everywhere you go will be trash. I wish her the best! She definitely deserves it!
Honey you done interviewed yourself!!! Thank you for your honesty. Keep your head up!!💕💪🏽💯
I love the blunt and raw honesty of this woman. I feel horribly for her struggles and issues she has faced throughout the duration of her lifetime.
