OK already. I have been homeless. I have lived in lockup garages and old vans and leaky caravans and in fact in a hole in the ground. Never taken any drugs. Stopped alcohol at age 18. Never drank much anyway. I'm a survivor. 76 now and still trying to show the rest of the world how to survive.
All the BEST to you, sir..... all the BEST to you. I have never been homeless, but even at my old age of 73, all it takes is just one mishap, and it can happen. We are all just a few $'s away from being in the street.
Are you posting your advice on a YT channel or other? God bless you. Tragedy can come at any age and I think Seniors are not prepared or capable as are youth. They could use your advice.
That's right. Everybody has their season. My sister once told me that you are either entering, the middle of or coming out of a storm. Don't judge anyone. No one is perfect.
Y jamely, many secrets about holyweird that are known to push people over the edge; if they attempt to talk about it they get seriously harassed & blacklisted. Probably one of the biggest reasons for all the drug use imho. Lots of Truths to be exposed….
@@JohnnyLawrence-p7b I hear you, I'm hoping I'm at the tail end of the storm as well. Sending you enery of hope and healing, mental, physical and emotional. We will get through it.... ❤
Yes so true way back in 1965 my father made $600 an hour but he was a stone-cold alcoholic and when he died he had 2100 to his name so he chose poison and death over life I don't pity that fool he chose his life And I did not follow in his Ways God bless
We don't choose to be alcoholics or addicts. Don't believe for one second he didn't regret every second, hate his life, and wish he could go back and fix things. I think Alanon may help you work through some feelings with your dad.
@@kirkslayden834 He didn't have a choice every day to not drink. He Had to. With alcohol you can die if you just stop and if he didn't know a way to get out of that cycle, with help, he literally HAD to drink and probably hated that he had to. It's obvious you were hurt by his addiction and no ones saying that's not valid. Like someone else already said, alanon might be worth checking out. I hope you find peace 💙
I've been homeless seven times, never wealthy but no drug usage and I'm getting married July 10, 2024. You can always get up again if you let yourself.
@mrishomanyika761 so the truth!! Tons more poor before 50s .. family's all stuck together then, took care of their own..wasn't No living on credit-cards, that was insane then, to think about borrowing $$.. normal people didn't live beyond their means.. saved and bought!! 60s all begun to change.. Schools and way of life change the 70s kids.. now we're all paying the cost..many homeless in my day had to hide, we had mental institutions n insane Asylums, you weren't laying up in the streets.. even our WINEO'S stayed out of public!!!
Of course, but I think the video uses celebrities for the examples because we recognize most of them. And some people might think, if so and so goes through hard times then I am not alone and maybe I can make it through this difficult time. Just a thought.
@JennyBertel-du3wk our biggest worry was food n who's dragged next to Vietnam nothing.. sure you do!! You got a cell? TV? Car payment, credit cards? You do what it takes!!! Never live beyond your means.. pay cash for everything!! NEVER buy nothing unless you have the $$$$$ PERIOD.. Called management..even start 5$ a payday will surprise you later!!! Our friends n us all started Nothing, No parents nothing.. we shared as possible, was our own entertainment and we're all still friends and all very comfortably retired .. only dedt we all started was our small old 1 st homes!!! Many build on and still there after 60 years..
Drugs and alcohol, with frivilous spending, is a way to go on a downward spiral. I find it very commendable, for those who lost everything, yet worked hard to get their lives back. They didn't totally give up. 😌💪👍🙏
@@catrinahartz944it could happen to anyone, it did to me and I’m not famous. Mental illness and addiction have inherited features. We are unfortunate enough to have struggles in our futures from the womb. We all try to get by in our own way, some more success than others, but success is relative.
Natasha’s bounce back gives me so much joy. I remember feeling gutted when all her drama unfolded. It is one of the greatest rebounds in modern Hollywood history.
Natasha's journey is indeed inspiring, Collin. It's a testament to her strength and the support she's received. Hollywood's full of incredible stories!
You would hope that the people who became famous who worked and befriended these homeless celebs would use their fame and wealth to help and support them
Yes addiction is a disease. But it's also your decision to not use drugs and live a clean life so you don't get addicted. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He can get you off your addiction. If the demond you have attached to you will let you go. And yes, demonds are real. Ask any parent who has tried an intervention on their kid. The parents will tell you, that was not my child. I could see it in their eyes.
All except the five families that control government pharmaceutical companies, banks , insurance, even the gamblers on Wall St. Government has it's own scam against the regular people. I worked as bookkeeper for city hall controlling several appropriations. I was constantly told I had to spend every penny and show a dephicet on every appropriation every fiscal year so they could demand a bigger budget the next year, not because they needed it because that was my job to get mo ey for people who controled government I got minimum wage. I quit in eight months. Most of the people stealing more tax money every year aren't getting a penny. Ends always ends up in 1 of the five or six people I mentioned pockets .
More than anything, this shows how you should never look down on others no matter how successful you've become. No matter the fame and fortune you may have achieved, you could loose it all by the blink of an eye..
I think that shows or episodes like this should be a mandatory class in schools! So we can highlight the lows of fame. The famous are praised everywhere, seeing the truth is what we need most now more than ever!
I don't understand why people choose poison and death over life I grew up with a stone cold alcoholic but I did not follow his ways and thank God I didn't because I am blessed beyond what I could ever imagine thank you Lord for all things in Jesus name amen
People don’t understand that consuming these poisons are only a temporary escape from pain. This pain is sadly often due to abuse by others. They don’t realize or accept that it only makes things worse. In many cases they are genetically pre-disposed for addiction, but don’t know it at the time. In some rare cases, even a single use means they are permanently hooked. Some people even die on an initial use. I don’t get it either, but for some their pain is so severe and immediate they can’t look at the big picture or think ahead far enough.
@@mattskustomkreations so so true and my father started drinking at 27 years old and he was a very very smart man but he chose death over life Not me and I have a acre and a quarter with a four-bedroom house and I have 12 garages in total and a machine shop and I can build and create and fix just about anything and I thank God that he gave me the sense to stay away from that garbage God bless
Not everyone has the same will or capability that you did. You can never compare your journey with others. Everyone has their own story and everyone has their own limitations. I'm glad to hear that you were able to overcome your situation.
It's that many become alcohol and drug users because they are self-medicating. That's why when they get off the abuse of drugs/alcohol, they return to it. They need to get to the core of why they use. It's not easy to confront the inner demons, congratulations to those who can. Pray for mercy for those who can't, so that one day they can see. It doesn't matter if you are/were a rich and famous star, or just an ordinary person. Don't give up on hope to overcome,, and one day you will be free.
@@iconicinside my favorite was "what's goin on". But I fell in love with his sweet style when I was 10 years old. Sooo long ago but his music still lives. Talk about soul!! His was PURE soul!! Marvin Gaye .. love him!!
What's Goin' On is one of those timeless songs. I like that one of his, also Let's Get It On is a favorite of mine. The music alone in it is so funky and soulful!
The money spent on those that illegally trespass upon American soil, could solve the homeless crisis and put millions in recovery for drugs and alcohol.
Too bad that most of those people don't want treatment. They also need a strong support system of people who actually care about them. These places only offer guidelines of how you can deal with your addiction struggles and only last for so long. The hard part of recovery lies within the addict.
My wife and I met Mindy Mcready in Jacksonville Florida, back before she was even known. She was a beautiful, young lady who was just starting out in the music industry. Not long after at the same small venue and seen The Dixie Chicks. We met them as well , got autographed pictures and within a moth or maybe two they were on the CMA’s lol We were totally shocked to hear of Cindy’s suicide. Crazy how one day you’re able to walk a crowd in a small venue and nobody knows you to not being able to go anywhere without being mobbed and everyone wanting a pic or something from you. I’m sure it takes a toll on your mental health.
Margot Kidder as i remember had to be sedated when Authorities found her hiding behind a dumpster looking spooked and unkept, i was so scared for her thinking that someone had done that to her, you just never know what a person is going thru so be kind.... ALWAYS~😊
It might not have been the set as much as 3 young children that didn't have the guidance they needed. Other child actors/ actress made it with support from their families and loved ones. When they got involved with drugs they didn't have the help they needed. I know unless they want the help it won't work. I think most feel like they are just a paycheck to many and don't care about them. We can never tell what another one is thinking. Alot of these people have emotional problems back then wasn't known as well as it is now. That emotionally is real as well as other illnesses. God lead people for whatever their health issues to get the help they need
This goes to show that you can reclaim your lives if you seek help. Peace and love is the way. I have to say Jim Carrey is an inspiration. Depression is something many people deal with. I see him as such a great talent who was able to overcome a horrible illness. We must stop stigmatizing mental health issues like depression so those who struggle with it are able to face it head on with the proper assistance.
I love Natasha Leon, he got it right. I was thinking of her raw talent and boom he says it. She has a depth about her that you can't just act. She combines this with her Characters with perfection. I'm so glad she is doing better!!!
It’s not just “financial planning” these people lacked. It’s the system. Lack of mental health. Someone said “we’re all just one serious health condition away from destitution”.
"Thanks, Patrice! We strive to share these stories in a respectful and informative manner. We're glad you find the content valuable. Is there a particular biography or story you'd like to see next?"
I completely understand their struggles, and they have my sympathy. I know their struggles because I'm homeless myself. But I am trying to get back up and go forward in life. Although being older makes it harder, I will come back up. And I keep smiling. Not on drugs, nor alcohol, as I quit drinking at 22. Well, enough about me. I wish any who are struggling to get well and be safe. Peace. ✌️
Don’t understand with all their money and knowledge how when they were financially getting in trouble they didn’t downsize before they lost everything. Such a shame.
That's truly inspiring, Buddyelvis1-2022! Your resilience is commendable, and your upcoming wedding sounds like a wonderful new chapter. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!
I’ve been in recovery for 15 years. When I joined AA one of the first things I was told to buy a black dress. So many of we addicts/alcoholics don’t make it out alive. 😢
I give it a 10 for being honest and real. I have grown up with the osmonds and have always admired their strength in their faith but also to one another. PPPPPPPP Fabulous
Lots of very sad stories, plus some inspiring comeback stories. I have some visual artist friends, and I find really talented artists are often volatile, weird, and super focused on their art, to the detriment of everything else. They are incredibly talented, but those gifts are not the ones that allow for good money management and self-control. And we need these wild visionary people in our culture, to open doors and see things in different ways. I don't know what the answer is, but many artists would benefit from money and tax planning, and counselling and support.
"Absolutely, Jacque! Fame can definitely come with its own set of challenges. It's important to remember that anyone can find themselves in tough situations, and offering support can make a big difference. What are some ways you think we could better support those facing these challenges?"
Amen.As i agree with this completely, homelessness can happen to anyone especially in the economy we live in now as we are living inthe last end days .These are all really nice people good people and its sad this happened to them, anc sad it. happens to alot of people today,as we are all brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,and we are all God's children, so we should all practice kindness and compassion for one another as it's a very true saying,there but for the grace of God go i .Thank you for to his heartwarming video.♥️💕💐💕💖💝💝💖🌹🌹🌸🌷🐕🦺
As Children we sit in front of the T.V wishing that we were our favorite stars, not knowing or understanding the struggles they will face.... Listening to this puts the word envy into prospective, the moral of these stories is to thank God for being you, and love yourselves.
Margot Kidder I would always think her and Demi Moore look so much a like.. Then Demi had all this work done on her face and then they both stopped looking like each other... So many people would think the same years ago..
With the economy the way it is anyone’s can be Homeless it’s a Sad world we live in . I’ll always pray for homeless peoples but also stop being lazy and expecting Everything for free 😮 however The economy it’s not the same as when I younger in today’s world is Hard to make good $$$$$$ If you want to succeed don’t do drugs , alcohol and take care your mental health cause as we get older is harder . Everything is very expensive God blessed all Only him can make a change In your life Love to all ❤❤❤
I spent 3 years on the streets homless but kept my self away from drugs and managed to pullman my self out of it i now have a home i am fully employed and starting to day off on.vacation i am not sure how its like in the us as I live in the europe i never asked for the dole or any help but I managed and learned a lot about people around me
All i can say is WOW! I remember many of these shows. Damn, what a shame! I hope the film industry, accountants, parents, etc, who lined their pockets with plenty of money, take some ownership in the terrific downfall of these stars, and mainly, prevent this from repeating itself .
