Soft White Underbelly interview and portrait of David, a fentanyl addict in Venice, California. Here’s a link to the SWU GoFundMe campaign to donate to help some of the people interviewed on this channel: gofund.me/d79eaa60
I started to cry when he started talking about the Disney channel. A part of his childhood that was likely missed. Please don’t be ashamed that you cannot read or write. It’s okay, you’ve had a long hard road. Be strong.
I know what it's like bro, my heart breaks for you. Be good to yourself, it's really not too late. I checked into detox after losing everything and I've been clean a year now, it flew by like nothing. You CAN rebuild your life! Blues are the devil. Don't be a slave to the blues, you can be the master of your future! Wishing you the strength and courage to get out while you can ❤️
Manchester TN here and also a addict I had to leave Tennessee to get clean now I have 8 years. My parents were murdered over drugs. I feel for you and know the hell you walk through
SBSK (special books for special kids), SWU, and Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan- The holy Trinity of sincere interviews. Just let them speak for themselves 🙏
He has self-awareness and is still very hopeful that he can get clean. He has the drive that it takes to recover from the addiction, I really hope he gets into the program that he needs and makes something better of himself.
David seems like a very sensitive and aware individual. I can't help but be amazed at how much and for how long the human body can tolerate such abuse - both physical and emotional. The "will to live" is relentless and unstoppable regardless of the individual's suffering.
Imagine if everyone had the same compassion, patience and sympathy for regular people they see outside like they do for regular people they see online.
Blues were the absolute love of my life. I was down here in Florida during the whole pill mill craze 180 blues, 90 bars, and 90 somas every 2 weeks. Today thank God I have close to 5 years of sobriety. I would not touch one of those pressed pills if you put a gun to my head.
He's right, 30 days will not work for him. It takes a couple years for someone like him to really start to feel safe. Why can't we have places where people like David can live peacefully for as long as it takes? We certainly don't have a prison shortage. But we can't build facilities where people can learn how to deal with life all over again.
This is my uncle. He was married to my aunt for years and they had 2 adopted daughters. He didn’t say one word about them throughout the whole video though 😢 For many years, my family didn’t want to invite him to holidays and stuff because of his addiction and I defended him every single time because he was family and deserved a place to eat on a holiday no matter what he was going thru. Unfortunately, after him and my aunt divorced due to his addiction, i haven’t seen him in years. I seen him in court a few years back, but the officers wouldn’t let us speak to each other because he was an inmate at that time. I truly hope he will get clean one day. He was a pretty big part of my childhood, and I do miss him. He is a great guy, and no matter how messed up he was, he was always great to me and was there for me to talk to when I was pregnant and in an abusive relationship at 16. He defended me many times. It’s hard to watch this video and know his addiction has escalated this bad. It’s heartbreaking. He looks like a totally different person. When I knew him he was at-least 250 lbs and a big guy. Praying so hard for him to find his way and beat this addiction. I love you Uncle David and would love to catch up with you if you ever make it back out this way! ❤️
David seems like a genuine man. He is a manly man is strong, honest, sensitive and shows love. A protector and honorable. If only he had a different better path in life some of these traits wouldn’t of been used in a negative way. I hope he finds help, happiness, love and peace. ❤️
Thankyou for uploading these at the time you do. Its always around 8pm on the dot in Australia when you do...i really enjoy watching these each night. Sending love and strength to everyone who is struggling xx
When i got with my ex he couldn't read or write very well either. His reading was at elementary level at best. Once I got pregnant, I would ask him to read Dr. Suess books to our daughter in my stomach. He was hesitant at first but eventually did. Our daughter is now going to be 18 next month and heading to college. And my ex reading level is at a high school graduate at least. He can sufficiently read and write. He thanks me all the time but my thing was I didn't want him to feel embarrassed or uneducated. I encouraged him for our daughter and for him.
He’s so sweet. He needs rest.raw. honest. When he said “I’m emotional these days” I felt that.🕊may god grant the desires of all those suffering, alone and broken.
