Not if she's telling people naloxone/ narcain is no good for a fentanyl overdose!! That advice could KILL someone!! And that using meth once & you're immediately addicted,sorry but that's just not true. U need more than compassion for that job I'm afraid & understanding that most addicts use to self medicate doesn't qualify as a 'great understanding of addiction' Maybe if she gets clean & studies up she'd b good at it tho.

What a lovely articulate lady. I’m 40, just got into bed, after a long day at work, then looking after my daughter and her medical needs take me two hours each day, I’m a single mum. Then I watch this is bed and just think, “what the fuck am I, moaning about?” I’ve got a home, a job, a cracking child. These videos, they humble me. I’m always grateful for what I’ve got as I work very hard for it. But, you can tired of the daily grind of trying to do it all and be everything to everyone. These videos give me a different perspective on things and remind me what’s important. She is a intelligent lady and if she beats this could be a great public speaker, talking of her experiences to teenagers that need to hear it. I will include her in my nightly prayers. Stay safe. ❤️❤️❤️

@@joelmonkley6177 thanks, Joel. Unfortunately, the funding isn’t there for help. I’m not a nurse but was given training to do this and I do it overnight as my little girl needs to go to school. This won’t define her but will make her stronger. I want her to grow up carefree and the only way that I can do that is by running her meds overnight, each night. It’s a small sacrifice to make for her to be able to have a childhood. It won’t be forever and she’s my greatest achievement. Life is about choices and she deserves the same opportunities as any other child regardless of the shit card she was dealt. So, I suck it up and do it as she’s my daughter. She’s the brightest child, and is such a lovely little girl. She has empathy in the bucket load due to her spending so much time in hospital. She’s the love of my life and any tiredness is worth it. They don’t stay little for long. Much love, Joel. ❤️

I live in the Netherlands and I take heavy pain pills prescribed bij mine neurologist for 8 years, because I have an musculaire genetic disease . I'm already for 8 years on the same dosis and had never the need to take more. Never my body asked for it. So when addicts call that as an excuse it's a lot off crap. The doctors in Europe would only describe heavy pain pills when it's only necessary.

@Amanda-vl5ud 3 года назад
I am from the Netherlands aswell and my neurologist says to never ever start with Oxycodone (Percocet) for pain relief. In the past few years it is prescribed more and more often in the Netherlands. Still not as much as in the USA. He says it has a very bad side effect that it gives you feelings of fear and anxiety. He isn't a fan of tramadol either. I have seen several interviews of people telling us that their drug addiction started with Percocet pills. The pharmaceutical industry are criminals and legal drug dealers.

So what's the excuse you have to start it? You don't start using heroine after marihuana, what I often hear as an excuse! If that was the issue, then 70% of the Netherlands where addicted to heroine. Luckely it is 0,001% or even less

@catherinethorpe4717
@catherinethorpe4717 3 года назад
some people are suffering so much emotionally they can't discipline themselves to care about long term, they seek desperately for some immediate relief no matter how fleeting. Emotionally tortured people aren't able to focus long term as so in need to rid anxiety or search for ways to lift their spirits immediately. Sensible choices. Peaceful people do, they live well, can delay gratification bce they can. Often studying term, don't react to negativity etc etc, they have the correct training and mental tools and end up with great lives. Wouldn't we all do that if we could. We all want to be happy and successful, if we are not, it's because we can't. So it's not really about choice, it's about what's inside us driving the choices we make. Some are riddled with fear, frustration, emptiness, or even clueless how to live properly, this makes them feel so crap they often give in to vices. Vices are a comfort for those that can go the distance. You must understand that some people feel really bad in side. This is why we shouldn't judge, they almost always can't do better. If good choices were easy, I would choose to become doctor, wait for perfect husband and do everything right, but we are our programming for the most part.oh, I would also be an always healthy eater and sports nut so I could enjoy an excellent body.

I am so so sorry for your struggle. You might see me as stupid and ignorant for what I am about to say. Well I am because I have literally zero experience with drugs in my life. Not even marijuana. Got drunk few times and smoking cigarettes at parties but never got hooked on tobacco or alcohol. I have recently seen a documentary where a psychiatric doctor explains the positive impact of ayahuasca on any kind of addiction. They did some research, tested it on some people and came to that conclusion. Few days later I have seen an interview with a former criminal who also did drugs ocasionally, and after traveling to Peru and ending up trying aya which he did not plan to do, he quit all his criminal activities and never tried drugs since. This doctor said aya is not addictive, and not harmfull, it is psychodelic but it is not considered as drugs. I dont know why doctors dont use it then to solve a huge addiction problem. Seems to me that they like to create problems by prescribing Percocet too often.

As a former addict I believe that the rehab facility has got it wrong they detox U then send you to rehab for counseling. But I believe that people entering a rehabilitation it has to be when they are ready to quit court ordered rehab doesn't work because they are being forced to do it so they resent it. The people who are ready to go to rehab off their own back should start with counseling services before detox because when they detox they the can't handle the physiological reason they started using drugs and the shame on the things that they have done to get the drugs which they can't handle the pain and shame of it and end up relapsing so I think it is key that they get the counseling and therapy to prepare themselves for the emotions and the physiological tools with how they are going to feel after detox then after the counseling then go into rehabilitation but so they know how to be giving the tools to deal with it once they are off drugs that they are using to mask whatever pain or reason they started using drugs

That's okey as long you don't judge. It can be hard to understand how addiction works and is if you never experienced it yourself. Things that seems so "black and white" and totally right isn't. So it can be hard to understand for some who never walked in those shoes🙏

Of course, you are in the right for your opinion as am I and who is "right" can be debated forever. But I most say that I'm surprise that you feel that if you walked in those shoes. And even if it doesn't match you and your addiction, you must have seen a lot and how the struggle is for some ppl. I know several ppl who have used drugs and never been "lost" due to the addiction but several, including myself, who totally lost control of mind and body for years and became sick in their addiction. So both ways🙏🙏

It's always bothered me that Dr's are so happy to hand out pain killers yet once ur hooked your cut loose and they don't care anymore. I think if anyone is given opiates for dental, car wreck, surgery etc, they should also be given a right way to get off the medication.... Just cutting someone off is where they turn to buying off the streets, then they see heroin is cheaper and the cycle goes round & round & round...

Im so glad someone your interviewing finally explained the truth of addiction. The struggle is real. Im 2 1/2 years sober from 27 years of addiction. She is stronger then she realizes. Its so sad to watch these films but also shows me where I could of been. I knew of ppl who went down there regularly. Prayers for all of them. Ive been in her shoes in every aspect. Getting clean is easier said then done. Took me 10 years. She is exhausted and tramatized. They say only 2% of meth get clean.
