FENTANYL POISONING: Spencer Wheeler's Story 

I agree His pain may lead him astray and perhaps follow his son's path too.... Holding him and family in my prayers 🙏🏻❤️

I was thinking the same exact thing. You see it all over his face and hear it in his voice. So sad.

💔💔💔

Oh he is broken and there is no going back. They can never be what they once were. The loss of a child makes you a very different person., a different spouse, parent, child, sibling, friend, a different every thing. We live this everyday and will until our last. Peace to all 🙏

the devastation in his face is heartbreaking

Its trus i have 3 boys my oldest is going to turn 11 and i get worried alot about what could happen i juat wouldnt be able to imagine my life if anything happena to one of them thank you for sharing your pain as a father i respect what you guys are doing and using your pain as awareness means so much god help you in your familys pain

Tuff LMAO

STOP THE CAP 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My condolences 💯🙏

I’m so sorry you lost your son.

My best friend and army buddy died from an overdose this year

You’ll see him again. Its was said by the elders, wise men and Patriarchs of Israel that thee angels cry when we’re born and they rejoice when we die. Never forget that.

It is an opioid, he knew the risk. That's what the addiction does to you.

@@lukejposadas yeah I know man, but you can have compassion and show empathy

Yep, they can’t make the same weird mistakes my generation was afforded.

Pills are dangerous kids don't realize that

yep, a single death nail.

This generation is full with kids and drugs it’s really scary now, I had gone thru it as well… thank god I stopped so long ago and changed my life for the better

And you think that's ok but it's not

Yes, Drugs are no joke. Its a tactic of the enemy of our souls to get a person hooked on drugs. Jesus said he came to set the captives free. Jesus is the answer through acceptance of the good news of life through him, Christ. Which he impart to us his spirit though accepting him.

Keep that up for, besides yourself, your son and your loved ones.

Me too. I'm a recovering addict myself and am at 8 years now. My kids were born in 2006, 2009 and 2017. It's terrifying out there.

Yes, because of prohibition

@@robinbelgrave3554 Your attitude is what kills these kids. He was experimenting, a normal part of youth. Because of prohibition he is dead

I pray for you and your son.May the peace of God be with him and with you. Amem.

"I'm sorry - but you're so missing the point, you're speaking in past tense and most of these video's state they were 'sober' or 'clean' for ## mths or years... I'll hold prayers and hope for your son's continued journey.

Joe Biden could turn it all around.

@@BoardsportsGroup you make no sense. Have you even watched more than one of these videos? You’re missing the point and I can’t believe you don’t see that. 🙄🙄🤬

Me too

Was Spencer a victim of SA? The mother mentioned he had been the victim of a crime, but I didn't hear them say what crime.

​@@freeman2399 That's a good question, but it seems vaguely implied. 12 1/2 year old victim, "we found out later (about the crime)," sudden change in behavior, bad grades, drugs...

I've always said drugs suppresses that dark area in people's lives, I really don't believe.its that much enjoyment of been high daily, I've been there until you face your traumatized issues, God Bless you

Stay strong.. YOU are amazing!

You are amazing i wish you every success in your case against your abuser and I wish you all the success in the world for the future❤❤🎉

I lost my daughter to this evil thing! I got to know God better, without God I wouldn't be able to live.

🙏❤️

That piece of you is in Heaven and she wants you to get peace and get going 'cause you'll see her again. Our Mighty Lord bless you and your family every day...

I'm so so sorry

@@thisisme3238 I'm so sorry

Yes, he looks very tired and worn out.

The dad looks like his soul was ripped from his body.

🙏🙏

Amen. I lost my son Jake almost 20yrs ago. I'd have been loss myself if it hadn't been Jesus. When I found out my Son died, I dropped to my knees and prayed to God for strengh and I still do.

@@terryclish6177 A sister in Christ who also lost her son put it to me like this "welcome to the club no one wants to be in but connects us forever". The morning after we found out our son went to heaven I felt like I'd be hit by a Mack truck. My physical body ached. The pain was not just emotional, it was a primal physical pain. Little by little I moved out of the fog and could put one foot in front of the other. I share, as I'm sure you do too, how we made it to this point. Only through the comfort, strength, mercy and peace of our Lord. I can't even imagine how amazing our reunion will be with our kids.

Absolutely!

Some people like getting high.

@@lc6636 Like I said. Looking for an escape from their sobering reality. Some people can control their escape and some lose control. Either way they're looking for fullfilllment. Chasing the dragon.

Jesus is the Answer. If you ever accept him as Lord and savior... thats us through prayer as him to be Lord of your life. He will make yhe different. I had a problem with my fentynl patch because of the insurance changr. I had a withdrawal because I couldn't get the patch. I call a pastor for prayer. It stopped the withdrawal symptoms. I have been with the patch for 7 years now. The doctors now are starting me on a new medication starting tomorrow. I have had days without the patch just forgetting to change it. So I just wanted to share.. Jesus is a solution and can change the heart, the desire. And even give healing. But a good ministry is needed for laying hand on the sick. But with God all things are possible.

we all need jesus christ. god loves us & is always knocking on all our doors to let him in. god bless you & yours jesus is king! ❤️🙌🏽

I think much of this can be laid at the feet of programs like dare. Unlike sex Ed programs that have largely moved away from strict abstinence, drug abstinence is still very much a thing. They don’t teach kids risk mitigation when it comes to drugs.

Kids become adolescents and find out that weed doesn’t kill them and is actually a lot of fun, then they wonder what else they were lied to about. Abstinence education is the gateway drug once someone figures out they’re being manipulated

Amen.

Jesus loves you. He wants to help you

Well, it's very different today. When I was 18 or so you could expect a percocet to be just that. And even though addiction is horrible you were in way less risk of dying. This Fentanyl is a whole other ball of wax. It's horrible. I sincerely feel for these parents.

❤️

Same i almost break down in tears when the parents talk about finding there kid dead. That could of been my parents.

@@hashrosinking1608 yes I overdosed and literally died twice and lost a lot of oxygen in my brain so now I have memory loss it’s not fun at all

You can do this Moon ! Don’t ever give up don’t look back only forward!

Kratom is not an opiate or illegal substance.

Kratom has opioid like properties. Therefore he did relapse on Kratom.

@@kayleighpayne2998 Kratom is part of the coffee family of properties.

It is possible to overdose on Kratom due to its opioid like properties. I’m just sharing my brother’s experience with it.

Yes I believe it is a disease.

😢

Be strong you are not her,now you understand, what you choose, she choose that path,was her choice, she didn't care for you,the drug took you place. Cry if you have to cry, talk with her loud, tell her why she never care for leaving you, tell her that you are going to be diferente, see how we are close to death. One mistake and you are gone.

@Catania Momma Italia really not the time to be a smart aleck

I know they may not feel comfortable going into detail about it but I wonder if the crime was sexual.

@@bubblybubbles4023 that was my thought as well. So sad how many victims carry that shame and end up destroying their lives because of horrible predators.

@R Voit You are so closed minded

@rvoit 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Whatta guy!

@@bubblybubbles4023 it was on a need to know basis. So, nunya Bubbly Bubblehead. There’s a reason it wasn’t disclosed! For opinionated people like us to wonder about. 🤔 Was it molestation that caused the addiction? NO! He died bc of addiction. Not unresolved past traumas. Many people are treated even worse by their parents/strangers and yet don’t kill themselves with street drugs. Finding a cause of overdosing doesn’t change the situation. Blame doesn’t change the situation. All you’re left with is loads of grief and guilt. It never helps to kick the dog cuz you don’t feel good.

God bless you....

I pray for her safety and your strength ❤

@@keeper6458 thanks

You let your daughter be homeless?

Don't speak it. Also, my son is not an addict but he is homeless AND working , living in his truck in Houston TX and I can't stand nighttime because he's alone and crime in Houston is horrible right now. I am going out of my mind with worry.

My twins are 6 and I already have had talks with them about drugs. Its not a one and done conversation.

Well said. I know they’re around too. Glad you said it out loud.

Females are the worst when it comes to drugs as they use their bodies to attain drugs and become very sexualised, sleeping with men and doing sexual favours to get free drugs.

*Losing

Please, please, go to meetings and share your story. Give whatever advice or insight you can to parents, teachers, etc. Most importantly, go to meetings to stay vigilant a d never get complacent. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your positive experience. Please please never let your guard down-ever! My brother was clean for 25 years. He had a career, wife, children, home, and loved the Lord with all his heart. He had an injury and was put in pain med. I honestly don’t think he thought about it for a second. I truly thought he never could have imagined becoming addicted again. He lost everything including his life. Three years ago December 13th I lost my 25 year old son. I can not even begin to explain this pain. It’s like my heart and soul are hemorrhaging everyday. Seek the Lord and never let your guard down. May God bless you and your family 🙏🏻❤️

Stay strong in Jesus name.

That was beautifully said! ❤

@@courtpotter611 really ppreciate it. thanks!

Any tips to get out of dark depression?

@@ldive i really feel like i can help you because i experienced my 10 year depression, panic attacks, loneliness, the most bizarre psychological problems, ect. so here's my best answer and I hope it helps: the first thing you have to do is BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND START TRYING. anything you wanna do- just do it and don't pay attention to what anyone says. i got bullied really bad in school and with my anxiety i was afraid to just talk to someone. i always said i couldn't do anything. one day i said YES I CAN. when i was 20 years old and in college i became really outgoing, saw a great therapist(many before her sucked), started cross dressing, partying, drinking, taking risks, AND TRAVELING. when i started cross dressing all the popular guys who would bully me high school started hitting on me in college lol. i was completely free and it made my haters jealous to see me in my ecatasy of pleasure and unimaginable happiness. my teacher literally copied my Facebook when she saw all the fun i was having. as an autistic misfit i never imagined that could be me(I only got my first kiss at 21). i got rid of my old friends(they turned toxic) and i bought a one way ticket to Hollywood California and met a bunch of hot guys and great friends there. i continued to travel and it gave me something beyond the limits and brought me unimaginable happiness. I met lots of hot guys and smoked lots of weed and drank lots of beer. i focused 100% on having fun and even quit my job for a little bit and stayed in homeless shelters(Manhattan New York and Miami and small towns with no crime are safe to be homeless-be very careful where you choose to be homeless, as there are a lot of dangerous places). i even stopped talking to my family because they became toxic. during my autistic struggles they laughed at me and refused to take me to a psychriatrist. only surround yourself with positive people and positive things-YOURE WORTHY OF LOVE AND KINDNESS. find the things you love to do and immerse yourself in those things. for me it was traveling, partying, and MEN. I did these things for a while and now I live on a beautiful apartment on my own and am still immersed in the unimaginable happiness that I found. I think about those days every day. if need be stop talking to your family. this was a big one for but just because someone's your family member it doesn't give them a free pass to abuse you. I lived in a rich snobby town where everyone hated me so that's why it was so important for me to leave and find love and kindness. Mental illness and substance abuse often do not mix so be careful if you choose to do it. I knew I needed to but I was able to stop. I don't do ANYTHING anymore-not even weed. now I am learning Spanish, working out, reading books and trying to grow more as a person. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

@@yourmajesty122 i think im autistic too explains alot of my past struggles im 21 lonely etc its tough really its my chronic wrist injury thats killing me rn :(
