My fiancé used to ride motocross professionally. He broke his back riding. Was bed ridden for months. He was prescribed pain meds. Due to the amount of time he had to be on them he ended up depending on them. He went to his Dr and let him know and his Dr said they were going to tapper him down slowly. Well that didn’t work. It turned into a full blown addiction. Which turned into hanging with the wrong people. He ended up getting involved in a prescription scam ring. They all got busted. He was finally seeking rehab and while he was in rehab the FBI came to arrest him. He was locked up for a long time. He got clean. He found God. He rehabilitated 100%! He speaks at High schools and tells his story. He owns his business now. He’s strong, he sober and he’s an amazing human! Thank you for sharing your story❤
I know this may sound like a stupid comment, but its good that he got clean before he got caught because I heard withdrawing in jail is the worst thing ever 😭
8 yrs of recovery after 17 yrs of deep addiction. I stumbled onto your channel looking for inspiring people and you came up on the list. Yahhhh it means your doing this thing and we are doing along side of you. ❤❤❤❤
As an adult child of an addict and also a mother of 3 little ones, I find your videos incredible cathartic and inspiring. You are doing an amazing job.
I also am a solo mom, and saying you feel blessed to have a mediator of sorts resonates so hard with me. My son's father and his bonus mom are fantastic, but he willing admits that it's she and I that do the most communicating because she is hilarious, and I love her. I could gush for days because she has stepped in when someone wouldn't, and we get along well, and our son is so happy. He went into kindergarten this year holding her and I's hand and gleefully told his teacher that he has two moms.
Adulting like it supposed to be done. Even though I believe relationships that tear apart with children involved should be focused on the child or children. Now if more ex's would become extended family instead what a wonderful inclusive way to raise a child. Nothing but ❤ for this beautiful example of family. 2moms what a concept for one person. 2❤
Thank you for the energy concept I really enjoyed that❤. I’m 22 and it wasn’t unlit I turned 20 that I started to feel the most anger ever in my whole life. It’s was uncomfortable and uncontrollable. I grew up in a toxic abusive house hold so I didn’t know I’d reach my limit at 20 but I sure did. It got to the point where simple things like driving induced anxiety or crazy anger. I try to limit the amount of energy society pulls from me but it’s been a learning season for a couple years now. I’m grateful I’m not where I started however I’m still learning daily how to adjust my energy management.
I had only seen your shorts and now that I’ve seen how you speak and how you give thought to life and learning, I really enjoyed listening to you! These are the type of conversations I’d love people to have more! 🙏🏻🤩
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT ABBEY! I love how real you are, not commercial biproduct! You share your genuine life, ups and downs and it's all phenomenal! I miss this type of genuine content on YT, so thank you for taking it back to REALITY!!❤ You are strong, beautiful, brilliant, a fabulous mother and dog mama! You are the genuine human that makes others feel like it's okay to not be okay; anyone can get better, like you did! Thank you for being the good you want to see in the world! 🌎Sending luv and prayers 🙏to your beautiful family!! Extra prayers for the house 🏠 you choose to make a home 🏡!
love you! lost my dad to an addiction in 2021, fentanyl overdose sadly. i found him when i got home from work 😭💔 i am so proud of you for changing your life around for you and your family. especially your daughter. and i know everyday is a battle so i am so damn proud of you!
I’m so so so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how traumatic that was for you. Fentanyl is so horrible and has taken so many wonderful people’s lives 💔
@@MelCarter000 thank you for this comment. 🤍 fentanyl is being laced into everything & yes is taking so many lives 💔 it’s so sad & the government couldn’t care less… along with the opioid epidemic that has been happening for over a decade now
I love you videos my mom was in her addiction she is about to have 3 years and I think it's wonderful how you have gave myla a different life and I have been praying for you to get that house and myla is so adorable
i’m 19 and i just got out of rehab 3 weeks ago for addiction and im 60 days sober today. seeing you and your videos gives me hope my life can get better. thank you🩷
Been obsessed w your content lately 🫶🏻 raised by a single mom and watching your content reminds me so much of my childhood and the sweetness of single parenthood sometimes 💓
Wow abbey, you have gone through addiction and that way you take accountability is amazing. After so many years my father never ever took accountability for what he did. Just taking accountability, and changing really touches a child. I know it might sound weird because we’re strangers, but it’s truly healing to see what I wish my parent could have been. You’re my role model of the type of parent I wanna be. ❤
Everything you said about giving energy to meaningless things I felt in my SOUL! Thank you so much! I feel like in another life you were a mentor/teacher because you have a way with words.
I had a bad day yesterday really bad day. And it was just so hard. I’m so frustrating watching this video today. I am looking at the day that I had yesterday. What went wrong? What it was and I am looking at things that kind of were bright spots in my day which the best one with my two little toddlersand I am making a mental note of it for next time so thank you so much for all of your advice. I didn’t know I needed it but clearly God did and he said you need to watch this video.❤❤
I’ve been praying for some light. I’m headed home to my baby this week I have one year sober and I’m trying to mentally prepare to love her back to me❤
Sending love from Michigan!! Super PROUD of YOU!! ❤❤❤❤ I'm also a Scorpio, Oct. 29th. I also had an Opiate addiction from a back injury. But on Father's day 2009 my father called me while I was at work and killed himself. Thats when I lost EVERYTHING!! Addiction also doesn't discriminate!!! Please do more of these, loved it!!
This was so fun! I love how you talk about life and emotions, it’s so beautiful! I always think of teachers like Abraham hicks, or the Rosie life (manifestation coach on youtube) when I watch you, I think you’d love them👼 keep being you, you are amazing x you are divine and great! (to Abby and everyone else reading the comments)
Been waiting for a Q+A, single mom here(my daughters 15) had her at 18 and 1 year ago her father and I split. It’s been rough, but we are making it! Seeing you and myla thrive has given us a lot of hope for our situation. Thanks for keeping it realllll.
Some people just want that reaction from you because it makes them feel like you still care. When you have the power to be able to not react at all that’s the most powerful thing you can do. Especially if someone has become accustomed to treating you poorly and being aware that they are able to do that and continue to have you in their life. It’s like a child, bad attention is better then no attention at all so they act out. So set boundaries and do not react because this will teach someone how to treat you.
Love this! Thank you for telling us how you got your relationship back on track with Myla. She’s a lucky little lady. Some great advice there. Love your hair like that btw 🫶💕
I think you should put some pumpkin spice colored extensions underneath for a lil fall inspo or maybe a deep burgundy if ur more into the Christmas vibe!!!!
The other day I couldn’t remember your name & so I just searched “Myla’s mom” and you popped right up! Hahah love you guys & Thankyou for sharing your life!
So good example...i worked in healthcare years ago and we had a patient, who's daughter was VERY VERY DISSRESPECTFUL! And her mom was SO loved and SO well taken care of. But she just could not, not complain and be rude to us everyday. She came in one day to be with her mom and my first thought was "oh good grief, here we go!" (Do NOT have time for her entitled self today) Well of course her daughter started ABSOLUTELY being rude to me about something so petty. Didn't even pertain to the care of her mom at all. As she was rambling, i turned my back, walked away and said NOTHING!! (C'MON please understand i have people to care for) Long story short the main manager, who know one had ever seen, came days later and commented in so many words about how i did the right thing and he was so proud. My point is...what Abbey is saying be careful who you waste your energy on, it may not be worth it. Arguing or not. That taught me a great lesson...walk away, if you feel its ridiculous and not worth it. :) 😊
You seriously need to Make more content. You are so inspiring and so true. Its crazy. I feel like we are friends or something like that. Greets from germany
I’m very new to your pages and loved learning what I did this time about you and a bit about your loved ones. I would love to see more like this or maybe like you did the q & a with you and your BD. But I loved it, learning about you. Keep doin you, keep slayin and most of all keep up the great work! Much love from NY 😘💕
Abbey I love how you share your story it is very incredible to hear and it probably helps a lot of people. God does many miracles and he helped you for a reason. Keep learning about god and pray to him because he will always be there for you. Also I love your short hair it makes you look younger but mature at the same time.
I absolutely never would have thought you were 5'4" (faking as 5'5" 😂) because you absolutely give the illusion of someone taller. Maybe it's just that cheerleader posture.
It's just the fact that she is well she's got longer legs and a longer torso actually. That's probably why I thought she was taller as well. Thought she was at least a good five nine five 10😊
Hey Abby, ❤i just saw this video found ur channel today, really enjoyed this as i relate to a few things as u , keep up being sober ❤and a awesome mother i font hav kids yet, but thats is one of the hardest jobs, you are beautiful ans seem really down to earth a real awesome chica 💖
Hi Abbey.. love you abf your daughter's videos and your a great momma to Myla... glad for your recovery anf doing well!!.... Mary from Central Arkansas 😊❤
I am also 5'4 and a half but say I'm 5'5" but I understand why people think you're tall because you have tall girl vibes so I was surprised too! Love your energy ✨️ 💕
Love your story! ❤ do you ever share how you got sober? Program, methadone, suboxone, detox, etc. Would love to hear sbout it if youre willing to share!
I named my 12 YO Myla, I actually found it in a Baby Name book which I didn't think I would LOL because it's hard to name a child - But in the book it said that Myla means "Merciful," which I love that! It's as if they are the mercy that was had on our lives!!
Hi there Abby, thank you for sharing your story and being open. I started following you a while back but I am now going through a difficult situation. Watching your videos gives me hope that everything will turn okay. Sending love 💗
Would love another Q&A I got pregnant at 15 so no worries girl you already know we are all on our own timeline though 😉😜 I'm sure I have questions I'm getting ready for work haha maybe I'll come back and leave questions ❤
Serious Question! Ima 22yo Daughter, my father has passed 8 years ago but he was a polyaddict. Anyways I do not intend an disrespect but I’ve often wondered this… I realized that wether or not I was conscious of it my child hood meaning my formative years were spent living and being raised by someone who was often Fienning, manipulative ect. As a child I had to walk myself out of reproducing those behaviors. I didn’t want to be manipulative or take advantage of anyone truly but it was what I observed. Do you ever witness this manifest in your own sober parenting. I was never called out for it but I realized eventually that I was doing this by proxy of my addict father and eventually taught myself to communicate as clearly as I could to my existing parent (Momma) she didn’t deserve to be taken advantage of however I learned from a very successful source.
I'd be interested in her response to this. It's certainly not something I've ever thought about (ive an alcoholic Dad, thankfully nothing more than that). Thank you for bringing up this topic, and im proud of you for wanting to not pick up the toxic behaviors your father modeled.
I never dated an addict one i became one I dated one and although he is a total sweetheart has been through alot but doesnt like to talk to professionals or anyone for that matter he hides his feelings.....me being sober his struggles effect me ive recently moved alone hes with his mom.I work make great money...I just dont knw what direction to go in..i mean really im on my own in reality i cant depend on him..I just dont knw whats holding me back by just breaking up with him...yes i love him but i dont knw if because i dont ever want to date anyone new again...its just easier to hol on to someone im familiar with..I have no idea....I just know i cant put myself in harms way or support someone who cant hold a job...do i feel sorry for him??? Am i comfortable?? I have no.idea......also I got my start on percocet after breast augmentation....i was in love at 36 yrs old with a prescription bottle....crazy
I just found your videos today and have been binge watching them after coming home sick from work. I think you give the illusion of being tall on the videos because of being thin and having amazing posture. It could also be because you are also mostly standing next to your daughter. Who knows. 😂 I actually thought 5 ft 7 to 5 ft 9 so I was shocked to find out we are the same height or nearly (I'm 5 ft 4.5 but I never add the half but I'm not thin anymore. A lifetime of steroids from age 16 kinda killed that. Rare diseases are not fun). Love your videos.
Please, please tell me what filler you got and how many syringes? I’ve spent 3k in on three syringes in 3 months & they aren’t nearly where I want them to be! It’s been 4 months & I need to go back again!
My niece feels the same way about covid celebrity fight her her being in her family with her grandchildren she got custody of them after she had been on a long journey of addiction herself 8 years sober. You rock.❤
I live almost an hour away. Ill be 3 years sober in december. I go to the recovery center at magee. Do you have anywhere to reccomend recovery wise to live around the area? Im trying to get out of a bad situation.
Abbey my 9 (almost 10 year old) daughter lives with her father in NY. I’m from Maine and had moved back after we broke up to get clean. He took our daughter from me after calling cps even tho we used drugs together. I was taken as a child so he knew that was a huge trigger for me. We were in domestic violence shelter and I got lost on my addiction. She lives with him now (I worry about her all the time but he is such a narc me getting custody would be nearly impossible) she found your channel and watches your videos often. I think it Helps her understand what I went thru. She says she wishes we were more like you guys and saw each other all the time. I live in Maine now so I only get to see her every so often. I pray I get back custody someday but I’m glad she’s able to get another point of view of someone who went thru addiction like her mama. I’ve been clean for 5 years this year. Thanx for sharing with us all.
That’s really cool that your daughter can watch abbey and gain some perspective on addiction. I have a 7 yr old who I lost custody of a couple yrs ago. I also have a 2 yr old who lives with me. I pray one day I will get my older baby back. Congrats on 5 yrs sober, that’s a long time and you should be so proud of yourself. I have 28 months clean. If you have so much sober time, don’t you think you’d have a chance at getting custody of your daughter?
@@melarose4498 my ex is a narcissist so it’s highly unlikely I would win in court with him unless my daughter told the truth. I also am from Maine and had to move back to Maine to get sober and that’s where I stayed because I had no support in New York to get sober. I moved to New York to be with my ex from Maine. So ultimately my daughter was born in New York. It’s unlikely a judge will move her entire life to a different state without extreme circumstances which may work once he more reveals himself bc he used drugs right along with me but makes a lot of money, has a huge house, is a boss at his job so like I said looks good on a paper so would be very hard to remove custody from him
