@@Jgol626 Cool. Another condescending comment to an actual genuine response. The comment itself isn't that bad. But I honestly don't get why people feel the need to put others down on a video like this. It's just unnecessary. Regardless. Take care. Have a good one.
This is the most real video on RU-vid right now. Listen to Mike, this is the realest story you’re gonna hear. Stopping drugs is not easy, it’s the withdrawals that destroy you, not the staying on part.
@@danielb27he said the video was real, not Mike himself😂😂 and the fact the comment is a month old and you misread that horribly goes to show who’s really dumb🤡💀
I really respect Mike he gives his testimony for everyone to hear bravo 👏I appreciate his honesty and inspiring message to help others battling addictions
I remember when I had to go to rehab the first time, wasn’t the last but the absolute worst time of my life but also the best. I’m 2 years clean now and I owe it all to my mom and dad they saved me
You shouldn’t be congratulated for being clean you weren’t supposed to do the shit to begin with and now you’re off we should say congrats? Nah homie now you like every other normal adult that doesnt do drugs we dont get congratulated for that 🤷🏻♂️
I've done a few 5 day detox programs, it's legit pure hell and gave me permanent brain damage from the benzos and alcohol withdrawal and massive seizures
Benzos and opiates are the worst. Meth, all the withdrawals is is irritation and sleeping. Lightwork. Cocaine : none. Opiates: pure hell, no sleep, can’t eat, can’t drink water, hot/cold same time, don’t want to do anything, stomach turning, diarrhea, eyes watering, it’s pure hell for at least 2 weeks physically. And benzos: seizures
I’m not an addict Mike but I so appreciate you sharing these stories. So many people need this, thanks man. My uncle was a drug addict so I’ve experienced it in my family first hand.
Sometimes people actually give you advice that saves your life ,Mike did the right thing by giving up drugs and going clean now he is a inspiration with his book and with his video's.
Wish I could have that angel on my shoulder. I’ll hit rock bottom one day or go out. Tough times ahead but hey they say they make you tougher. Thanks for the share 👍🏼
God bless the counselors or probation officers who don't treat you as a quick hour of work and like a actual human 🙏 Met a guy who changed my life ten fold!🙏❤️
Well good on your new probation officer she boxed you in to do the 5 day detox best thing you got made to do 5 day's of misery would've felt like 5 years well done you was made to do it but you must of been mentally strong to stay clean stay strong and all the very best to you
Did the detox too, only from alcohol and mind you I’m only 24 doing it, it was torture but I knew I needed to do it and now feeling better mentally and physically than I have since high school
That was the last resort you had..they were tired of dealing with your childishness…either you come in or you go to prison..your choice..you get told that by every probation/parole officer
5 days so hard ive been away in a facilty for more than 4 months straight. Hope it helped him, but thats not a therapy or so. Its only, getting some of the substances out. Stilö cheering for mike
Where is this podcast? I’m so happy you got out, so happy I got out. My heart breaks for my best friends who passed and didn’t make it out, and those still suffering. 💔 it’s a scary messed up cycle to be in, and it takes a special kind of person to have compassion for addicts. It irks me so much when people are mean to addicts. I’ll never forget when I was in the hospital, with absesses in my arms, and going into sepsis, a nurse that was helping me (by the way I was in healthcare myself studying nursing at the time), says “how does someone like you get to this point?” I answered her honestly. See everyone saw me as the pretty, innocent, smart girl that would do no wrong. How could she be a heroin addict? Even the hospital couldn’t figure it out. The doctor who I saw that night was evil. He said some really mean things that broke me… but the studying PA that night under him, she saved my life. She had compassion and care. She helped me instead of “just letting me be because she’s useless” like the doctor told her to do. She put drains in me, called me twice a day to check on me, and had me come back and see her to change out the drains and make sure I healed at the ER by the way. I’ll never forget her. And I’ve been clean over 10 years now and it feels like a completely different life and person, but it could be anything to make someone an addict. For me it was one pain pill over a broken leg. From there it spiraled. I got out right as the heroin started turning into fetynal, and I would be dead if I didn’t. I wouldn’t be the Lauren I am today. I have a husband, two beautiful kids, I’m in nursing, and I still practice sobriety and sober from alcohol now too. I help others get sober and I’m hoping I can actually work one on one with addicts somewhere eventually but right now I’m still in healthcare. I lost my very best friend, and then lost my other guy best friend and half my high school class I see posts still to this day, of people overdosing. I see here on RU-vid perfect healthy normal successful people that are there one day, then gone the next. It’s the devil, it’s scary. I hope everyone suffering knows, that you can make it out. You can do it. You can turn your entire life around. You got this. This was not my actual story.. allegedly.
I've never successfully completed any of my many stints on probation, always finished it off in jail bc of VoP, every single time. Life's a little better now tho. Great short
im not black nor american but its crazy that they even offered detox instead of jailtime, if it was a black guy he wouldnt even get recomended / offered another PO but they let him change and when he failed they offerd detox
Addicts have the best excuses before my step brother died I just met him and I could tell all these story’s he was saying were so fake it made me sick as a 16 year old I could see through that shit glad I saw that though cause now anytime I have an excuse for anything makes me sick about myself so I can’t
I thought the same. I have done it and in no way would I walk out 5 days later and be okay. I would still fall a drug test five days later. I guess it depends on how much you were doing.
THIS is also how you have to treat any addict...even if they are your child, mother, or husband!!! Addicts will play you period no matter who you are...DO NOT ENABLE ...you are just making it possible for them to get high and possibly die one more time!!!
As a former drug dealer and been on probation this is the biggest crock of shit no probation officer I have had or seen gives you countless chances this is what you call RU-vid acting it’s become quiet popular
My boyfriend missed a urine test because of a work thing and it was a whole ordeal for his officer, who said he would go to jail if he missed any more. He finished his probation though, and has been sober over a year now. Holding people to high standards, and making them have accountability seems to be effective. Also, making judgment calls on what is an “appropriate” excuse seems to be fundamentally unfair, as it leaves room to grant certain people leeway based on likability, or being able to advocate.
Kids he is no one to look up to. He made thousands of bad choices. He was one in 1 trillion. Lucky you will not be do not look up to this simple minded human.😢
so are we just not gonna question how he was apparently allowed to get away with fucking up on probation for presumably what he was on probation for which was drug consumption multiple times and was ever allowed to get away with it? why was he not given the ultimatum of jail or detox the very first time he failed probation…?
