The fact that this young man has the clarity and self awareness to say “my addiction” puts him miles ahead of the game. I pray this kid turns his life around.
And the fact he said I don't like stealing .. bro you never hear that from a homeless I jus got out homelessness cause alcohol wanted me on the streets all night an oh got I loved stealing shit
Honestly it makes it sadder when a semi intelligent person is hooked. Because they’re not in any type of denial. They know fully that their drug is killing them. They just lack the will power to give it.
Man just the fact he didn’t want to look at the camera shows how ashamed he is where ever u are brother I don’t even know you but I promise you . You will be added in my prayers !
@@jonathancristobal4724 could be from trauma or abuse. People be scared to look other people in the eye. Or shame. He could be ashamed of the wrong hes doing
“I rather clean windows than to steal “ this Kid still has a good heart, hope he finds help. Everyone needs a helping hand especially when no one around u is providing that for you. 🙏🏽
You can tell he’s a sweet kid and he’s ashamed of being addicted. Junior I’m praying for you sweetheart. You can beat that addiction, you’re strong, you matter and you’re loved.🙏
I’m just like him stuck on blues but I just got on blues 6 months ago my ex girlfriend got me on blues I left her about almost 3 weeks ago tryna get help
@@eriktrevino337 Erik! I was a homeless addict myself. Got into a rehab and started to work out as a hobby. I am clean for years now! Subutex can help at first also!
This kid knows he’s not doing well, he does feel shameful for what his addiction is and all and the fact he ain’t stealing says a lot about this gentleman
Wow! This made me highly emotional. It’s a prime example of being a product of your environment, and I so relate. Notice how this handsome young man has manners, respect and faith at the same time he battles his own demons. I pray for his salvation 🙏
You are so right ! I feel for this young man! I have witnessed this personally, he needs someone to help him, he wants it so why No one can send him and the other man I feel for him, being black and addicted ??? Sad!! 😔 I pray all who are struggling get help. Amen
This is really sad. He is looking at his feet, ashamed of what he has become but honest with who he is. I really hope this young man can find freedom before he enters the penal system. Good luck young man, you can do it, you can, it isn’t easy but you can.
TenThumbs Productions I couldn't agree more. This kid doesn't deserve this kind of life but he has to be willing to commit to some help. I hope he gets clean before it gets worse.
@@dreeco1762 I'm not much older at 29 but I luckily have always managed to manage anything "extra". We definitely need more resources in this country, too many people lose their lives to addiction
yea cause it really seem like he just scary and not toughening up and take responsibility in his life. He jus need to suck that shit up it went how it went an move on an do better
That's the way one feels when they haven't had their fix. It will take away your desire to do anything and you will be the most depressed ever until you get the next one
Poor guy he looks exhausted, defeated and helpless. Just hearing him speak he genuinely has a good heart and means well. If anyone in Arizona watches this help this kid out. He wants to do well in life he just needs the proper guidance. I pray for this kid 🙏
I live in south Phoenix and I’m genuinely hoping I run into this kid man. I jus got clean from the same shit. Blues and fentanyl is an epidemic out here. They’re cheap but killing us.
@Jimmy Strudel i use to do similar things. I would even cry and say I would change. Quickly those closest to you stop listening to sob stories and give you tough love by cutting ties and leaving you to feel what rock bottom is like on your own. Luckily thats what I needed to start puttting in the effort to bring about change. Only thc for me now and life is 100x better without coke and xanax.
He said “excuse my language” after saying “shit”. That’s a nice guy with a good heart. As long as the public decide to see him only for the position that he is in life, he won’t receive much or any help at all. That’s what gives these little documentaries more meaning because they can be the start to recovery.
Man I hope so. I am a recovering addict and I can tell you one thing for absolute certain. I would not be clean if I didn't want it really bad for myself. I cared what other people might think but that's not what got me off the opiates. I got to a point where I just had enough. Luckily I never robbed, cheated, stole, or lied to anyone to fund my habit. The only really hard conversation was with myself. Hopefully this young man finds the end of the rope before it costs him his family, health, and life.
I wholeheartedly believe Jr. Is going to breakthrough cause he wants to. The fact that he even wanted to tell his family he loves them and has faith it'll be better one day tells me he is going to have an impactful testimony. Thank you for sharing this! While it made me sad cause I cant fix this broken world, I too have faith it'll get better 🙏🏾
He is the type of kid that can do whatever he wants. He actually seems intelligent and has a good head on him. When he is clean the world will be his. Not if he gets clean, but WHEN he does. Stay strong lil bro
Please follow up with Jr Occasionally. He's in everybody's prayer. Please let him know we're all praying for him and by God's all mighty power he will come out of this. Let him know that we Love him 💙🙏
@@bleekyaowa3970 I really felt this comment bro as being ah brother of a lost one who died overdosing this comment hit me hard I pray for the best upon your family dawg and no matter what always put your faith in the Lord all peace and love from me god bless my brother🙏❤️
@@vinnyvagianow7276 blessings right bacc at you bro this video hit home I was taken as a toddler by my father and I found my siblings wen I was 30 my lil bro was th first to meet me and we looked jus alike 😞 we gained a bond tight as ever but it only last 6 years before he was taken ..so junior wit his head down like that jus hit home wen I used to talk to my Lil bro felt like deja vu watchin it I sincerely wish jr would HMU id love to be a brother to him he got greatness in him
I was on drugs as well , two years living on the streets. & when i decided to get out of that world. I made it happen. With out rehab needed. And now I’m 6 years clean. Si se puede kiddo! 🙏🏼
You’re correct! All you can do is pray, it literally takes spiritual awakening, and if you don’t jump to that opportunity with 100% it doesn’t feel possible. One who doesn’t want to quit, can’t be helped. Really sad. It touches home with me, I got 2 years clean from a 900-1200 mg daily oxy addiction this July 10th.
You can see how pure his heart is! He just made a mistake and got sucked into the deep dark black hole because of it. I feel his pain and completely understand him! I know firsthand how hard it is to go through addiction. You're in my prayers, Junior, and I hope you know that you are not alone!
I just watched this young man’s update and I’m so glad he’s going to rehab. Sometimes these young people js run into the wrong people at the most vulnerable times. This is a pivotal moment in his life and I know he’ll do great things off of the blues. I mean he’s not out here robbing people he actually wants to work to provide for himself. Praying for these young people ❤
@@romankozlovskiy7899 spoken like someone who hasn’t tried or gave up; no two people’s experiences are the same regarding rehab, addiction, life on the street, etc. don’t presume to know what works for the next person or you out yourself as unnecessarily ignorant to reality.
Update!!! Junior is going to rehab!! New video of him posted at 9 PM central time. 5 hours ago. He volunteered to go. He wants the change. So happy to hear the news. Major props to this channel's host for helping him!!
Any recent new?? Did he stay and is he doing good?? Praying 🙏 God give him the strength to get this part of his life over an regain his family and his life!!
Tracy Brown theres a playlist sumwhere on there yt page he never ended up going to rehab he wasn’t at the spot they agreed to meet at sadly I hope he does get help soon tho
some of us never got that as a child or ever. i was mad at the world, it took me until about the age of 22 to realize that drugs and alcohol are not the answer to my problems, hard work is. i found god and turned my life around
@@moniquegarcia1011 can you not read? I said as a father this hits home. Not he doesn't have a home. And I said he needs to get out of the environment. That includes where he is. Relax.
This dudes honesty and openness is refreshing. Change happens when the fear of staying the same becomes bigger than the fear of change itself. Good luck brotha.
@@chriswallz2855 there's a difference tho, being embarrassed to be on camera talking about this and actually being embarrassed because your strung out and you don't wanna live this life anymore
Heavenly father we come to you today and pray for all those who are lost, and struggling, we pray you will enter their heart and fight the devil from taking over. We pray they will get help and have all the strength to overcome the addiction. Through you all things are possible, and we pray for sobriety for all these people. In Jesus name. Amen.💛
He’s right a new area is definitely what he need. I was addicted to blues myself for about a year. Things got so bad I made a split second decision to move to Texas. I spent 6 months there and recently moved back to my home town. That was definitely the best decision I’ve ever made. Hope bro gets better for real 🙏🏼
The look in his eyes made me see my son in him. My kids are still young but I pray that they never fall to drugs. My father lost himself in that and he never recovered till this day 😞. Pobrecito bebe
@@diogowerneck5936 guess what.. if you honestly think anyone will listen to “adults” forever thats close minded. a person of any age can start doesnt fuckin matter if you tell him not to 😂 and when you “keep him busy” are you gonna be a helicopter parent your whole life? 🤦🏽♂️
I’m a father and my nature is telling me to jump through my screen, hug him, and get him all the help he needs. I wish I could do that. I pray this young man escapes this lifestyle for good.
Big props to his Momma for not kicking him out and making him more vulnerable to the dangers on the streets. How do dope dealers live with themselves doing these things to young kids?? Poor young man lost his soul 💙
I think a lot of people got emotional watching this. I'm proud to say I'm free of addiction but I was in the same place as this young man at one point. I can relate and I wanted to come through my phone and hug and talk to this young man. He needs more advice from people that aren't judging him. That's the best thing that I came out of addiction with; I don't judge anyone because you never know what someone is going through
Been livin in Arizona my whole life. Phoenix isn’t as sketchy as people make it out to be but it’s still bad. I can tell exactly where he is just by the background of the video. I’m fortunate to live in a good part of town but regardless this place isn’t the same it used to be. Everyone’s trying to leave it’s only gonna get worse. Everyone from Cali n Mexico flood the state. The people have changed no ones reliable or trust worthy. If I could recommend anything it’s never to live here. I wish I could leave but I’m too attached to what this place used to be
Hearing him self say it out loud he realizes how F'd up his path is if he can pull out he will become a GREAT MAN prayers up lil bro GOD BLESS YOU HOMIE
Man bro this interview got to me. I pray that he finds a way out sooner . Hopefully his family or this channel can give him some possible resources. I know things are expensive for recovery but at-least know where his next steps are to walk on the right path.
The way he speaks says it all. Calling him sir he has manors and everything he just got caught up in the wrong scenery which took him deep in but that kid will be something good In life I just know it
I wish my dad could help him. He’s always helping people in need, gives them a good paying job, support, advice, food. But we’re in NC. I would vouch for this man, he’s young and needs guidance.
He seems like a young man with so much potential. Who knows what his life was like before he started using. I really wish people would be kinder to each other, sadly though, many people will keep shaming him under the guise they're "just trying to help".. he still has a shot to get a stable life but I fear a lot of people will be hell bent on making him feel that it doesn't matter, just so they can justify their own existence. If people TRULY want society to be better, it starts with people like this young man. I really hope he is still alive. If he ever sees this I want him to know he is valuable.
I was in that position at 17. Addicted to pills & and taking advantage of the prescription when I was getting professional help. Got the the point where I was taking too many and I OD. I still can feel that day as if was yesterday. I thank God every single day and second that I’m alive, and able to break away from it. I’m 21 now. I’m trying so hard to stay sober and stay clean.
i can’t stop crying man ….i felt this i was homeless lost everything including my children and god will take you on a spirtual ass whooping and trust me its way worse than a real one we all fight demons and he saying the truth it will take your mind paranoia depression sucidal lost with no destination But god has you always has what do you have left when all you have is self left King Believe That Trust That Know That Let Us Pray 🤲🏾 Lord Please put a hedge of protection around this man he wants better you know his heart lord you know his weakness lord show him there is a way he is the way he is a King He is You Lord thank you father thank you lord thank you for him even speaking about this and being able to acknowledge his faults and his ways protect him lord guide his footsteps lord ♥️♥️♥️he got prayer warriors behind him 💯🙌 tell him to walk with his head up keep his head up and stay focused on you lord and faith is just a mustard seed lord thats all you need King we got you all the way from across the world King
I want to contact this kid. I’m 30, I was on the needle for almost a decade. I’m now finishing up a tattooing apprenticeship & I never could have foreseen my life getting better when I was in such a similar position. He can beat the bullshit. It isn’t easy, it isn’t pleasant. It’s simply worth it.
Dude earned my respect there . He is just very self aware And knows he got more potential then this . He knows this ain't supposed to be him. I'm from PHX too I probably have drove past this guy . Bless him 🙏
You can beat this bro! I was on the needle for 10 years and never thought I’d find a way out. I’m sober now and praise Jesus for carrying me through. Praying for you.
@@danielbarbas8978 Every addict thinks they’re hooked on the worst drug. God is bigger than all of them. We minimize Gods power and maximize our problems leading to no resolution. Give it to the lord and have faith in his immeasurable power and you have a chance at beating anything.
Sitting here 💨and thought the same thing before I clicked 🤷😆😭🤣thought it was one of those "My Strange Addiction" parody videos🤷🎷🎶about some guy addicted to 🎶🎷BLUES music🤦
Not everyone who’s addicted has hope that they can get clean. They think they’re already doomed and that the pain of repeatedly trying to quit and then relapsing is SOUL-CRUSHING. After trying how ever many times, you’ll get to the point where you don’t think it’s worth it anymore
Agree and we must make it better for them not make it more hard on them by passing so much judgement we’re not God were not perfect praying for jr and everyone like him in this world we all need help we all need someone we need to try loving and helping more this is sad
Help him it’s simple put him in a better place not near where he’s from and he too can be free and receive the help he needs talking to him is cool but show us how u can help him not continuously expose this to us show us you genuinely helping them
My mom tried for over 20 years to get cleaned try so many times today she's been clean for 14 years clean. Thnk god it doesn't matter how many times you fall there is hope
I wish I had the money like the elite so I could buy an island sumwhere and make a place to take all these addicts where they'd get the right help &from ppl understand like your comment..build a community outside of the system.i guarantee the recovery rate and success wud be extremely higher in numbers..thatd b my dream..its disturbing thinking they blame these addicts and the billion dollar company's are putting these drugs out there.DIVERSION TACTIC..focus on the addicts so then we won't focus on the rich gettn richer&pushing the devil onto ppl.ruining there lives.they def want no attention on them..very sad
How about we start putting judgement on the rich laid out in their billion dollar houses profiting off the poison they put on the streets..but instead blame the addicts&judge them.. 😈
Yea it’s said to see our own brown peoples on this type of drugs smh sadly I got a brother that is just like him and he can’t stop the drugs and he only 18 he been doing drugs since 12
My heart felt for this guy when he said, "I don't like to steal." Have no idea if he is being honest or not, but it was a good thing to put forward. I hope he finds the help he needs. I lost a friend to an addiction, so I've seen what it's all about. It's a tough road to hoe.
This kid isn’t done yet. Hang in there and surround yourself with positive people that will help you kick out of this horrible addiction. You got some good in you kid and you can do this!!
This is actually one of The hardest steps for an addict. Depending on where you live. I don't think people realize just how Hard it truly is, to surround yourself with good ppl doing good things in a poverty environment. I live in the hood and it's not even that bad. Typical city with drugs n gangs but we also have nice areas. And I know most people around here. But I literally only know probably 2 people I could even call to be around, who are truly good ppl without bad addictions. Literally everyone else is either constantly drinking/having tons of sex/doing drugs or crimes Something negative.... and what are we supposed to do, go knock on doors in the suburbs until we find good ppl n ask if they wana hang out ? Lol. This actually made me think about this subject deeply. We desperately need more outreach programs in all our communities where Good people can donate their time to go hang around kids like this and do anything, ride bikes with them, Something to keep their minds occupied while giving them all the good advice you can. If a person like myself had access to a program like this, I could've probably kicked my addiction a lot sooner. Another thing is, most ppl only focus on helping kids, but a lot of us addicts never grew up so we are 25-35 year old kids out here just looking for a friend or someone good to be around but we can't find it.. just some things for people to think about. This issue is very scary on the other side... it's a terrifying feeling to wake up every day knowing you're about to be deathly ill if you can't find a dose...
He's not done yet no. I was a opiate pac man for 15 years. Sometimes I would not have a spending limit for 3 or 4 months at a time. IF I over came it (4 years sober) anyone can. My brain fogs and cravings lasted the better part of 2 years. Since then, my new high is being sober. I forget what it felt like being almost out of high school, and happier then ever while being sober. It's crazy, it's a battle, it's the devil in disguise.... a catch 22 I call it. Encouraging people you know who speak about there problem will do wonders with the right approach of course.
@@theoilguy9125 I don't like when ppl say If I can do it anyone can because we have no idea what battles each individual faces in life. From a broken home, to abuse, or mental issues, it's just not the same for everyone. I knew some ppl who could do dope n smoke cigarettes only when they party. When they weren't partying they never touched them. So everyone is very different in their own ways
@@solarpanel8195 the only difference is the strength and weakness I f someone's will and desire to kick it. We can go on and on about my childhood. My point is if you Train yourself mentally to kick your habits and never go back anyone can do it. Not easy by any means. Constant mental battle that's a mothafkuer. U need ppl around you to understand your mood swings and what not. And work.. forget about it. My best advice is everyone in your life who has a habit het rid of them to. Any triggers need to be cut out your life as u realize them. Because there will be alot.
This kid looks like he can change his life around , he looks like there’s faith. It just takes that step , he needs guidance , they all do . doesn’t look too lost like that other guy or other ppl you’ve interviewed . Praying he can soon get help !!!
All I seen is a bright future in this lil homie. He’s smart, he just makes the wrong choices. We all do bro, He just gots make sacrifices to succeed. Keep your head up ,make the effort to change it won’t be easy but it will be worth it I promise vato.
God bless you but he needs Jesus because Jesus is the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father but through him so put your trust in the Lord because he loves you with all his heart🙌🙌🙌
@@johnnygutierrez2546 Jesus is the best drug. When the Holy Spirit came over me for the first time when i surrendered to God it was better than any drug I've ever done. Keep crying out to Jesus Junior "Those who seek me WILL find me". That's a promise from God ain't never lied my friend. GOD bless you
Man this kid needs just a little bit of guidance. This kid uses “my addiction” that right there says a lot. Anyone who’s struggled with addiction knows that’s not how you talk about yourself. Prayers for JR. Get over this shit man. Don’t ever feel like your alone in this world. I
@@sal.h4833 Yes it is in the grand scheme of things, I'm 27 and had fuck all sense at that age, my life would be very different if I knew the things I know now back then. Someone a lot older than me is probably saying the same of my age. We as a society think people are good to go for adult life at 18 and it just aint true. We all need to help each other a little more and guide each other.
@@RippedJolt I’m 27 too man and shiiiiit at 21 you think you know shit. But it’s just like being 16 you don’t know a god damn thing you’re just old enough to drink. At 40 we will probably say that about us when we were 27. 21 is very very young
Bless his heart. There is something about him that makes me feel like he is going to turn things around and not only get clean but I really feel like he is going to do good things with his life one day. There is some kind of light that shines through him and for whatever reason I feel like this life experience was just something he had to go through because ultimately it’s preparing him for the bigger things he is going to do in the future and maybe helping others in similar situations. That may sound ridiculous to others but there is just something about him that makes me feel very hopeful for his future because this kid just has “potential” written all over him. Here’s hopin! 🙏🏻
@@alexismoraleszepeda.1697 i doubt someone’s life is going to drastically change in 1 week man, anyone’s life can change in a second if you want to look at it that way but it’s not that deep bro.
I hope he does i really do and anyone who's dealing with the same addiction or worse may everyone get healed from all evil energy and find a path that leads towards good
You can tell that he's ashamed of his addiction. He seems to be very sad, and knows that his situation is a really bad & serious one! I hope that he sees everyone's comments and decides to seek help! 🙏💙
Addiction to drugs is to cover some kind of trauma or pain that he experienced in his childhood. We are all products of our upbringing. I wonder what his story is. This is so hard to watch. Especially as we know we can't help him. He is the only one who can turn this thing around, when he finds wisdom within himself. I wish that he does. Love is what he needs to help him.
A lot of things about junior reminds me of my cousin who passed in 2020 from OD’ing on fentanyl laced heroin. The way he speaks, his honest personality and those eyes. Keep your head up junior, glad to hear you’re in the process of healing man you’ve got the heart to do it.
He’s a young good looking kid. He has his whole life ahead of him. He can get his act together. He just needs help. Hopefully 🙏🏽 he decides to do better for himself. I’ll pray for him.

I sincerely pray for this kid. I had my addiction to fentanyl/Blues for 3 years, also. I’m now 52 days clean after admitting myself into an IHP rehab clinic. Shit saved my life. I hope I see this kid in Phoenix as I’m also a resident out here. Prayers young man!
To the person behind the camera, get him to a rehab facility PLS! He still has hope, I could see that he doesn’t want to be in that situation and would do anything to go back.
It’s not that easy to take someone to rehab. Trust me my sister was a drug addict and I tried desperately to get her help. Unfortunately you can’t get them into treatment unless they want to go. They are adults and by law can’t be forced into treatment.
@@kookadams85 methadone is worse then fentanyl . Fentanyl you will be sick for about 2 weeks max and slowly be way better but methadone takes months and years to get off . Never ever introduce someone to a methadone clinic that’s a drug also and if you don’t have you FREE dose of methadone everyday you will go through it instantly and it takes way longer and you go through it way worse and harder . I know cause I’m clean now and I was 22 doing the same pills and I went to methadone it was worse so I did pills slowly and kicked them . I know this kid can do it . He jus needs support from his family just one person to be there making sure he eats while he goes through it . And giving him water and fruits he will be good . But after you get clean the temtation is the hardest I still think about pills everyday
@@kookadams85 I’m only 25 and I never met a person in my life who regrets getting sober . After the physical withdrawal is over . He jus has to be strong minded . And get away from people who he knows he shouldn’t be around
@Charlie Boscote Lmao why THATS a good trait he has. That means he has a chance of getting off the streets, I swear no one understands comments I just got someone at another video that I had to deal with that didn’t understand the comment
That’s what he says. You know damn well he would steal to get his fix. Drug addicts steal from there parents, are very manipulative, that is probably his hustle to look innocent.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Much love....and Bless you. I also want to thank the Host for helping all thes folks out by having interviews, posting for all to see. Thanks for helping so many folks with addictions and hopefully others before it even begins down the path of addiction. You my Sir, are a blessing in disguise and such a wonderful human being. Thank you from the biggest part of my ❤️.
@@jessicuhh1786 unless you’ve experienced this from that perspective please don’t comment on that. addicts don’t get help unless they want help. i would’ve given anything to save my loved one from addiction but they didn’t want to get clean. it has to be a want from within
I used 2 be a junkie too, he hasnt even graduated 2 the H yet. This boy has a long road ahead of him. They say if yu dont drop the tooter in 10 years, it will be what kills yu. N thats facts. Smh. 🙏🏾
@@harperusyt420 what thinking and talking to yourself? You do know God is real and he can help him just like he did me i nearly died a few times because of crap like this and im alive thanks to Him... prayer does work its the most powerful thing you can do
I was addicted to M30s or blues for 10 years. The opioid pills I was taking were oxycodone 30mg. After all the experience I had, the biggest lesson I learned was my desire to just be myself, without a substance affecting my mood and personality. There’s a whole different view of the world once you are able to see without them 30s clouding your judgement. For those of you who think you know better, the next step is heroin and shooting up. The best thing you can do is get help and observe the thoughts your having because that’ll be what your going to act on. The cycle of drug seeking is obsession compulsion then the action of buying the fix. If you want to improve your life, even when it seems like there’s nothing for you, the approach of planning and organizing is easily transformed to productive behaviors and a good work ethic. Stay strong and separate from people places things that trigger your addiction. From a guy who was living under bridges as a consequence for my actions, I can tell you from first hand experience that improvement is within your reach. Go check in at behavioral health in your county and seek help with the problems. Be mature and calm and a positive mindset can get you through the struggles. For the past 8 years I have been clean, gotten into HUD housing, receive disability income, and am taking college courses, all because I seemed treatment and got the medications that could bring me back to a normal way of living. Keep your peace and stay above the influence. Your friend. Josh
This is a good dude. Not that others aren’t there is something about jr. I believe he would take help and run with it. You gotta want to quit. Until then no trouble you get in or talked to till they are blue in the face. I believe he wants to quit. Prayers go out to you my brother. I wish I could get in touch with him somehow.
