She’s very honest. Many people make excuses and blame others. She doesn’t. She claims to hate responsibility but, she does take responsibility for her chosen life.
She may not be stressing the point but being pimped out by an aunt when she was a kid is probably not an irrelevant detail if we want to consider root causes.
She probably does not have much to lose, we lie when we care what others think. I live in Michigan, I know that area and I work with substance abuse patients. I would love to help her get into our program if she wanted to try being sober. She is going through heavy things, but she is not a waste of a human being. I really want to help her
She meant burden of responsibility. Bills&payments , early mornings, self-discipline, sobriety, lease agreements, moving all of the furniture to a new place, credit history, renewing state ID/driver's license, FILING TAXES... I hate it too.
@@threat645 in the interview she said it was fine. she got pimped out by an aunt who probably started off being nice and got her on drugs or some shit if i had to guess. she does say she got pimped out by an aunt who was feeding an addiction.
@@durianriders thats what im saying... i mean, she was introduced shittily, but really it sounds like she got out, but went back. Because she admittedly "likes it better than anything else" and maybe for her, its the only way to be, ....youre not gonna argue with this girl
He’s asking her all of these normal questions, humanises and normalises her in our eyes, also makes a compliment, shows her support and shows her belief in her which she obviously is in desperate need of.. she’s obviously been thinking about her life and her life choices a lot..
@@taylorhumes7567 what he means by “humanise” is that so many interviewers would ask questions that are almost as if the interviewee weren’t human. For example: what’s it like being an alcoholic? Drug addict? Are you begging to buy more drugs? They don’t get normal conversations but only those harsh questions which might make them feel like the dirt in society.
@clandestine2178 Depends on what area you live in, the news where I'm from is mostly about wholesome events, but in more dense urban areas you hear about messed up people taking part in malicious activities, it's sad because they can't help it either, it's the society around them that molded their behavior
She sounds institutionalized to that lifestyle. That's where her friends are and where she's not judged. It sounds like she gets clean, but misses her community, so she gets sucked back in. I also hope her kid understands that his mom not being there doesn't make him unlovable; I hope he gets that it's not anything to do with him.
Wow, great insight, I my self am a drug addict & that is a huge problem I have every time I get clean, it’s really hard when I try make new friends who are not drug user’s, normal people are not as friendly, I end up very lonely, mental health starts slowly slipping, insomnia & anxiety starts getting worse each day....... Hey I know what will fix it 💉🤷🏻♂️ ✌️🇦🇺
@@danielgonzalez-yp7hi I just want to apologize on behalf of the "normal" people that think this way. I've struggled with mental health, but I can't even begin to imagine the trials and tribulations you've overcome on your journey. It's sad but that life is normal, comfortable and familiar to many people in that situation. I have never been in that situation but I know that comfort and familiarity are things we seek even if they may not be the most pleasant situations. Not sure where I'm going with this, but I just wanted you to know that your voice is heard and your progress is extremely admirable. Stay strong Daniel ✌♥
@@danielgonzalez-yp7hi I hope you are well.. I feel like any recovery journey will include learning to be alone, not without support, but still mostly on your own because as much as anyone can love you, no one will really get what you're going through unless they're recovering too.
@@testing123. i hope u are well also, I mostly feel this way after a year or 2 sober, it’s hard but I sometimes relapse just because I’m lonely, or is it an excuse & my brain is tricking me 🤔 Thanks for the reply, I hope u have an awesome day/night
My big brother was just like her in so many ways. He died a couple years ago at 32, due to the way he was living, like her. I'm so glad the interviewer treated her like a human, and cared. So much to be learned with instances like this.
I'm sorry for your loss. I understand, i lost my dad to heroin 13 years ago. It never stops hurting. He was a great man, it kills me when people refer to him as a junkie. His addiction was apart of him, it wasn't who he was however.
What we have learned is you can’t help people like that. It’s simple. The way they see the world in their mind....it’s not possible to help. They have to help themselves. Even bringing clothes food etc. just enables them to get more drugs. No one wants to see it for what it is. There’s plenty of well loved people that commit suicide.......once the mind is gone it’s gone. For the ones of us still here we should realize there’s nothing we could have done to save them. They made the choice. The drug has to get into your body the first time.....
@@justemusicme you're right, in and out of rehab, I've seen it several times unfortunately. You really can't change until you want to. I did. But we shouldn't leave our empathy behind.. As someone who has alot of family struggling with addiction; a new set of clothes, a meal, and someone who cares can change your life. Never stop trying to heal people.
@off spec yea my bro told me he had a close relationship with fellow homeless addicts. It was a tight knit friendship/hardship. They all took the same harsh comments. Ppl passing by throwing trash at them and yelling at them to get a job. Responsibility can be tough but abandoning that brings on a totally different set of circumstances and hardships. Life is tough either way but we need to keep our chins up! I Love Y'all
I was homeless for 10 years sleeping in the worst conditions in England I'm now a director of my own cleaning company and have a flat ! Many times i was gonna end my life but I'm glad i kept fighting and turned my life around ! I remember 6 Christmases in the same block of flats just to keep warm smelling people's Christmas dinner whilst hungry 🙏🏾 I'm so thankful and grateful I've made it through those bad times if anyone is going through the same please don't give up 🙏🏾♥️ love you all 💯
I’m surprised that after 10 years of hard drugs she’s still very clear in her thinking and coherent and articulate. Imagine how much smarter she would’ve been without drug abuse. Escaping life through drugs but paying a huge price through terrible quality of life.
Yeah but it's only a matter of time for when the affects show. It's different for everyone of course but for some, it's a very slow affect. I know someone who did these drugs hardcore for years & only now (last couple years) it's finally hit her. It's very sad to see
I've been using since I was 13. I'm 29 now and the only time I was sober was at the start of feburary 11th 2011 which lasted about three and a half years so somewhere between 23 and 24 I started using again (went through a very traumatic experience and was also placed back in toxic environment with no support system) I always like to think of myself as different then everyone else. People that dont know me are always get scared or look at me funny. I'm a very nice person people tell me after getting to know me that I surprised them or that I'm not what they expected. People come up to me talking about religion and end up leaving shocked because I schooled them and told them something they didn't know and proved it right then and there lol but nothing negative always something positive to add to there experience and not to say that I dont learn anything or that im so smart no one can tell me anything...No im open minded and always willing to listen to you and your opinion and also see if I can learn anything from you. I feel like ive been ostracized by the whole world I spend half my day trying to hold in the tears. Its so lonely. I wish could be the same as everyone else its so hard everyone thinks just because im homeless that im a dumb ass or a monster I may not be as smart as I was but i try to educate myself as much as possible. I love history english math and chemistry...but nobody every stops to ask me..instead people through things at me groups of girls laugh at me and people run from me it just adds to the weight thats already on my shoulders. have you felt the world lately? its so heavy..
I've been on the gear for 20 years, I'm married , support a step son , live in a rented property and have held down a job all my life. I think it's the crack that takes its toll on people more then the smack , I'm 38 but I look more like 25.
Her aunt pimped her out. That will traumatize anyone, and make a person feel low, wanting to get high only makes sense. Drug use shouldn’t be criminalized. People need help, not jail time.
I agree with that as long as they’re non violent drug users. However the second you break into someone’s house, kick their door down and or tie up the residents and ransack the place, well I think those people should be shot on site or as they’re breaking it. This girl doesn’t seem like she would ever do that
Nope. You are going in the wrong direction. My dad was an alcoholic and anybody, ANYBODY!!!! with an addiction will tell you an addict needs to hit rock bottom and enabling them only makes it worse. The only reason my dad finally went to rehab with the right state of mind was because he was about to lose his job and his wife. If my mom was willing to stay with him longer and his employer was more accommodating, he would have just kept up his lousy lifestyle. You poor saps always think you get a compassionate ribbon if you hand out a victim card. Stop it already. It is your mentality that is causing the rise of homelessness in America. I'll remind you too that alcohol is legal and it doesn't stop anyone from ending up on the streets because of it.
"I don't wanna deal with life" is a perfect answer. That is exactly how I felt during my last few drinking years. Life seemed to me an overwhelmingly difficult task for which I had zero capacity and, hence, zero motivation.
@@ristomikkonen5255 I drink almost everyday like a beer or 2. I’m a bit worried about it. What do you think? Should I be worried? Because I just enjoy the stress release so much when I drink and.. it’s not a lot
@@FloreFleur Exactly. Loser's mentality. And nobody better try and use her lifestyle or upbringing to make excuses for her. I've seen plenty of videos of people in her exact same situation who have said they would love to get out of doing this shit and have a better life. She doesn't. - "Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved."
She is not at all living by mind , but by heart & by her impulses & mood. She had seen surely some depth & details of life suffering yet deepest eye opening naked truth with self experience, so she is such a bold & honest & very transparent, not hypocrat like our World's mundane rat race culture & society , who distinguishes people between good & bed , right & wrong , this & that & others , as labeled by & large around world.
Its different tho, some ppl get addicted to the life style, i got addicted thru a bf was for 10 yrs got clean n the hardest part was letting go of the lifestyle, the running around, the constant on the go, rush of getting the money n the drugs etc, that dragged me back in, then gor clean 5 yrs, got with an ex friend n got into it again, im just now getting back my life after kicking him out 5months ago
@@amber616renee congratulations 👏 🙌 💖 keep going!! I am about that far in too but on subs. Idc bc it is helping me get my life back. Reach out if u need a friend to talk to. God bless u
Caite's been to rehab 18 times, and it didn't take. She returns again and again to a lifestyle on the streets, which has become a de facto comfort zone, or home for her. Even if she were able to beat her addictions and get clean, returning to the lifestyle would likely cycle her right back into addiction, as I'm guessing it has done many times before. It is truly heartbreaking, because well-meaning people everywhere would want something better for Caite, but you really can't give something to someone who wouldn't sooner have it for themselves. I wish for Caite the small miracle she needs to turn her life situation around--the very same miracle that several people who meant the world to me didn't get in time.
I grew up outside the city and there are so many people like Catie. Smart, still young, had a good upbringing and they “miss the streets”. Its truly heartbreaking
@@englishlanguagewithnina5965 go to 4:10 in the video. He asks her if her problems today have anything to do with her upbringing. She replies, “no, i had a good upbringing”.
@DIV1NITAL the reason they miss the streets is because our lives are fake and plastic, we're just going through the same motions. Whereas on the streets people are actually living more of an authentic life compared to the people going through the same commodified motions day in and day out.
Barbara Von..God may have made us in His image but pretty sure he gave us FREE WILL for a DAMM good reason. For all we know this could be a trial BOOT- camp of sorts equipping us with KNOWLEDGE time to get it out of our system. HE WHO BELIEVETH IN ME shall INHERIT the KINGDOM
Excellent. Ended the interview with the promise of some needed necessities in exchange for her time. I hope he follows through with toiletries, as well.
I achieve ,,just,,150£ a day ,but when i quit from habit i never have this motivation do this amout in normal live without ,,superhero,,ability come from substance .top up the tax you pay for is biggest than you profit -experince proov
@Master Shake it's what heroin does and why it's so dangerous especially for those with depression. It not only takes away physical pain but also mental pain. All the depression, sadness, self loathing bad memories, etc goes away when you get on that stuff.
Except this wasn't necessarily due to external conditions. A lot of people believe that addicts and alcoholics are born with the disease of addiction/alcoholism. Which would mean that she's bound to end up here eventually no matter what. Doesn't mean this is where it ends tho.
@@Ma_K95 Consider this. If she’s bound to eventually end up here because she was “born with addiction” then you wouldn’t have people who were addicted, stoped, and changed there ways. Like she said, she doesn’t want to change. A individual chooses there fate when it comes to substance abuse.
@@Ma_K95 are you talking about the predisposition to addiction or addictive personality? If so, don't forget that predisposition doesn't mean that someone will absolutely get an addiction. It just means that if two people use the same drug (alcohol or cigarettes for example) at the same times, the person with the predisposition will be more at risk to developing and sustaining an addiction. It also doesn't need to be drugs, it could be gambling, shopping or even exercising.
she is a really good interview, i respect how blunt and real she is. wish her the best of course, you can tell she could be successful in life definitely not a dummy
She is a damn dummy not because you can talk means you know what you are doing....she has a child an leaves that responsibility on her mother.....please that says it all..
As a recovering addict my heart goes out to her. I can’t help but get choked up listening to her. I know the feeling of just wanting to be a ghost among the living. I hope she’s still alive. And if she is, I pray that she’s clean.
@@johndanielsforJesus Jesus can grab hold of anyone’s heart and transform them. I’m living proof of that. Whether it’s the most powerful king who ever lived or just a simple drunk and drug addict like me. I owe everything to Christ for saving me from addiction. God Bless.😇🎚
“I don’t want responsibilities” Some people think she deserves it because of that thought, but it’s a shallow analysis, the “not wanting” responsibilities might be attached to the fact that she has a very poor self image and believes she lacks the capacity to deal with life, specially considering her current reality. Those are things that can be treated over time if approached correctly and straight to the point, presenting a different view of life in which she can, indeed, be able to do better herself and things are not lost. Unfortunately, most of us are not willing to go further, and usually have a very savage deck of words to deal with this kind of situation when, in fact, is a life that can still be saved.
A someone who has dealt with depression and anxiety for years, I definitely see some parallels here. When you're in that deep, dark hole nothing seems achievable or even worth it. It doesn't matter if it's something that you've been comfortable with your whole life. Once you cross a certain point, it's just not worth in in your mind. Perspective can most definitely change once you get things in order, however. I know these are very different issues, but I just wanted to thank you for publicly saying this. I'm not sure how many people struggling with addiction can relate, but I can definitely understand this. Thank you for these beautiful words. Love, strength, and hope to those dealing with addiction and/or mental illness ♥
Could you please make a commentary on this video and upload it on your channel? I'm asking because your comment will soon be buried by the comment algorithm that always favors cheeky or short emotional comments.
Absolutely. And just because she says doesn't mean that's the truth. Very few of us can sum up the reasons we have the problems we do with anything approaching precision.
Sad that an addict would introduce her into this world knowing how it is. Family should want more for their kin. It’s very sad. Seems like she never had a chance to use that sharp brain of hers. I respect how honest she is
It's hard to smell shit when you have grown up in it, you only notice how shitty it was once you are able to get out and smell the fresh air. As nice as Caite is, that has nothing to do with her Trauma. Being pimped out by a family member to fuel their drug habit has long-lasting effects which are on display in the interview.
feels like you just dont like the idea someone is better off doing drugs for 12yrs than following the meta, she said she had good times growing up and had no issues/traumas.. she seems smarter that the average while having done drugs for so long, so im confident she knows better than some random dud
@@user-ir7qs3oe9e yeah bro sure, tell that to her son,whose mom is a drug addict and lives by the streets meanwhile he is all alone with his grandparents. He sure is in good company and well taken care of though but he has a mom who prefers living the drug addict lifestyle that raising that boy. She seems a nice girl, don't take me wrong, it's just that her choices doesn't seem fair to me.
I never said she didn't find happiness in and with her drug use. Nevertheless, she is doing something to herself that is quite destructive. Experiencing good parts of one's childhood is excellent, but I would wager that those experiences did not lead her to drug use. I am not sure what you mean about following the meta, but I would be interested in learning if you are willing to share? In my experience, substance abuse is a method that many folks leverage as a means to self-medicate. The conscious or unconscious reasons why one feels the need to do this varies from person to person.
@@Daigham23 sorry for my english, with following the meta i mean following the "standard", to simplify, something like: study> socialize> get a job> make a family if we assume she isnt lying and take to account how logically she spoke, id say that even if she is selfdestructing, she did make her choice in doing so and she likely evaluated what was best for her giving her situation. when you say "you only notice how shitty it was once you are able to get out and smell the fresh air" you assume that she doesnt know/remember the smell of fresh air, im sure if you give her a house, a million $ and caring friends, she would probably change her way of living while enjoying it more, but its just not happening, so she simply choose whatever worked better for her.. thats how i see it
@@user-ir7qs3oe9e Ahh, sure, and just for the record, I am not suggesting or implying that anyone lives a status quo life, a.k.a. meta. I hear you, and yes, I am making an assumption based on the little bit of info I have. With that, I can only assume that she hasn't experienced the fresh air as a full-fledged adult, so to speak. Not to mention that she can't smell, hear or feel things accurately based on her drug abuse, meaning she wouldn't be able to tell the difference even if she were to given a million $ and caring friends. Lastly, I agree that she simply chooses whatever works better for her but that all comes at a huge cost to her and anyone connected to/with her. Thank you for the explanation, by the way!
she probably feels and got more freedom then most of the ppl with a haus, a famaly, stressfull job and who just want to be "RIGHT" how the Society wants them to be. my english is not best, ut i think u know what i mean ...
Basically proves how strong addiction is... she is no dummy she knows what that kinda money could buy her but she's not interested. The drug is her lover, her best friend, her everything. Addiction is cunning and strong and talks to her. It is a disease.
Wow. She’s so honest and real, and I cannot help but respect that. I lived in Detroit for 3 years and love that city (South West is a great area). Her perspective on how sobriety has to be her choice is spot on! I also had to come to that realization in my own journey. I recently celebrated 19 months free from my own demons. I hope she finds the peace that she truly deserves. I hope she finds it within herself to escape the grips of the shadows that follow her. I hope she truly discovers her infinite worth and can one day claim freedom.
The fact she said her fav book was “ A piece of cake “ by cupcake brown!!!!Oh wow that speaks volumes ! That is an amazing book about addiction and the lifestyle! She is very aware of her life and her life choices! Many blessings to her
@@hhhvvbbb6266 what;s the problem? You don't think this lady will steal from you because her favourite movie is 'Anchorman' and you find that relatable? She may be a nice person, but her choices make her a terrible person too. Her son is growing up without her, and presumably without a father. What will his life be like? Hopefully better than hers at least. Addiction is powerful but remember that it involves making choices about scoring and using.
The interviewer sounds so sweet and non-judgmental. I love how transparent he was the entire time . Continue to spread the love and kindness you never know how it might affect others. 💛 Prayers for her as well .
@@rabblerabbleRubble Her mind is not consciously fighting. However, subconsciously, her mind and body are fighting to survive the abuse of constant drugs being dumped into the system. When they give up, she will die.
It breaks my heart even more that her favorite book is "A Piece Of Cake" by Cupcake Brown. Cupcake was her at one point. I hope she finds the same strength that cupcake did to get out of this life
@@lukusfelix9308 I agree. There is no need to create an excuse story to it, she just doesn't want responsibility and that's it. She couldn't fail more than she already has.
@Observe self true, i mean the aunt introduced her to it and pimped her. who is her mother, and where was she in those times, she stayed respectful because in my experience family can gas light you into thinking you’re the worst person alive for not being grateful for the good life you live despite the horrible things surrounding you that no one likes to point out because it would destroy their perfect little world.
Had something happen and went through depression and anxiety, still fighting. Didn't work for two years. Even that, even getting back out there was the hardest thing I've ever done. 12 years of her lifestyle? I don't know how you fight back from that
I respect that she’s honest with herself and other people. She reminds me of my mom when I was younger. My moms clean now, complete 180, and I’m very proud.
@@alyssag.5758 For what? The poison is coming from the inside destroying her body. There's no room for vanity at this stage. Only the plastic world we live in that focuses on the external when people struggle with diseases like addiction.
Lost my aunt to this lifestyle she had a good upbringing, spoiled etc. she got with the wrong boyfriend introduced her to drugs, she loved it and left all 6 of her kids and is now on the street doing drugs.
I'm not gonna lie, at a very hard point in my life I was homeless and doing H too. But i had such a hard childhood all the way to adulthood. In fact, I always wanted to write a book detailing how crazy my life was. But I just want to say how cool it is that not only were you super gracious doing that interview, because so many times people treat homeless people like their dirt, but I also think it was a wonderful gesture to offer her clothes and shoes as well. God bless you sir. Btw, sober since 2014.
Only pure unconditional love can be of any help ( that too without any subtle , show off & without any conditioning) & hope for all such beautiful soul with open heart & no~mind spegetti people of life, jus like enlightened mystic radical master of life , so blunt yet so pure , so much hurt yet so real , so vulnerable, yet so real n delicate & sensitive enough for self life.
Because she knows she can't handle responsibility without support. This girl is clearly traumatized and not able to handle life because it's too painful.
@@englishlanguagewithnina5965 Ok, so why don’t she find the support then !? Well...l will tell you why ? Because she has another excuse for not to find it Besides, the main reason why people live like that is bc they don’t want to fight with totally sacrifice. Or maybe it’s just like she said, she just don’t wanna responsibility bc it’s “easier” without it
Yo man she's super candid answering personal questions without hesitation. As if she's accepted the reality she's in and it doesn't seem depressing (to her). Most people want more to life and up getting it and find its not enough. Multiple times rehab says she's does not want to be cured. Crazy how drugs do to an average human being .
So heartbreaking. Addicts do not realize the effects they have on their children, NO MATTER WHO IS RAISING THEM. They need their mommy’s and daddy’s. Clean and healthy mommy’s and daddy’s. 💗🙏🏼
She doesn't know how to tap into and express what she's feeling. I can assure you that thing she's seeking is a true connection and she needs stimulation in her life. Boredom is our enemy.
could never imagine another woman raising my daughter, even my mother. once i became pregnant with her, my whole world changed. she is my number one responsibility and I am happy to give her the attention she deserves. so sad her little boy doesnt know his mom, or rather... so sad she doesnt know her little boy.
I feel so sad for her mom. Can you imagine raising your grandchild not knowing where your daughter is, if she's okay or not? I bet she's cried herself to sleep so many nights. 💔
Most women on drugs still would want to be in their child’s life but don’t want to be in and out or don’t want the kids to see them in that condition. When he asked her if she could snap her fingers and be soccer mom with good husband,nice car,&nice home she quickly replied “no I don’t want the responsibility”. To know she has a child and answered that question so quickly irked me lol.
My son has scizophrenia OCD Fasd ADHD...and born addicted to hear s mom's powerfull anti phsycotic meds...I ve had I'm scince 19 hours old...he developed phsycosis leading to scizophrenia via smoking weed and drinking scince 13...now full blown meth use weeed alcohol .And now he's tried harion fentynol pills methadon...and I completely Ely understand his draw of street life ..to me I believe it to be very tribal ..my son is native andour streets lined with native folks..I understand his desire to use...to escape the brain crunk of boredom of mental chaos of feeling broken .. Feeling trapped in the OCD tics...I get it...he also has s brain injury from an over does on fentynol whilst out in a pass his first time in treatment.
I appreciate people like her more than some “soccer moms” because she knew the situation she was in and she decided to own up to the facts and not try to blame something else. Its awful to see someone make those choices but its also nice to see someone realize the choices they’re making and not try to hide it. Lying about it doesn’t change anything. I hope someday she does rid herself of those addictions but never rids herself of the brutal honesty. An honest criminal is better than a law abiding liar.
I think its weird, her face is all F'd up.. but her teeth are white and looks good. Makes me wonder, can you do crack, and if you brush the teeth, the teeth wont get all F'd up?
It is hard for me to understand being addicted to “the lifestyle” of feeling sweaty and unkept, freezing, facing physical attack, abuse, rape and getting arrested, being physically addicted to drugs, having ones body break down with teeth falling out. My heart goes out to them all as they all need love, acceptance and hope for the future💜
I used to feel the same way but my daughter is an addict and shes said to me that it's not just the drugs u give up it's the "lifestyle" and I thought how deranged but if u really think abt it they dont have jobs or responsibilities and literally the MAIN focus in life is to get high,all the other things they dont even truly care abt bc their high and those things dont matter. Its really heartbreaking and I wish I could save them all but I cant even save my own child.
@@kimhancock5965 That does sound extremely hard to watch happen. I can see what you mean by focusing on the goal to get high. Hopefully one day the cycle is broken to realize it's much more rewarding to take positive steps in life.
When asked about favorite childhood memory/experience, for a brief moment, her eyes lit up. Underneath the scarred face...there's a soul. I hope she can find peace.
I appreciate how you do remind them that it’s not too late to try and change for good, but at the same time your still calm and understanding when they usually honestly don’t wanna hear it
I got to met a mother at my job that told me her son was homeless. She expressed her pain through tears. She told me, “ DONT APOLOGIZE HE WANTED THAT LIFE STYLE”! She accepted his faith, she stated that all there is to do is pray.
This girl is so clear minded and sharp for being addicted to serious substances. She’s so endearing and calm. It hurts to see someone with such an awesome personality stuck in the trenches of that crappy life. I hope she’s able to get out and enjoy the life that could be. The trauma that her aunt put her through definitely stays with you and I’m sure that’s the reason for her downfall in life. It really sucks. Choose you Caite. You deserve a warm bed and home to lay your head, your son who needs you so badly and all of the good shit that comes with a square life. It’s so worth it. We’re rooting you on.
I think people don't get depression, anxiety and mental health if you've never gone through it. I don't blame people turning into alcoholics or drug addiction. When you've hit rock bottom and life seems worthless, you turn to anything just to help each day pass, whatever the cost.
I don’t know how you feel you don’t know how I feel. I luckily asked for help when I needed it and am diggin my way out of a hole I started digging when I was a teenager, but you nailed it. Can’t understand the struggle if you’ve never felt it. Do anything to breath when it feels like your suffocating
People never leave these conditions they either adapt and learn to cope "somehow" or they go downhill.. As you said Mental health problems will MAKE you understand what it is in the harshest way possible
It’s mostly the fear of detox that prevents getting these folks from getting help. We need to help these people more than we do. There is still bright light deep below the surface of this poor girl. You can see it.
Agreed. Most like me end up on subs or methadone.. I'm sadly on methadone still after 3 years but I don't take anything else and I went from homeless to renting a room in a nice house, decent job, nice car and most importantly real friends and don't have my family worrying about if I'll od at anytime. :/
3:44 broke my heart BC you can see her visualize that life for an instant. Then she is brought back to reality and feel pain for losing that imaginary family.
before you heal someone ask them if they are willing to give up things that get them sick -- great Person. .....////////// I don't think she considers that life as a base. Her base is ever-changing. Depending on the drug supply environment, her lifestyle keeps changing. She is extremely happy, reaches her peak ecstasy for few minutes every day, and doesn't want to let it go.
Just found your channel an im sure you hear it alot, but Broooo your really out here making a difference an shining light on a subject that reeaallyyy needs it. Not all street life is what people think. Keep it up man
Heart-breaking how such nice and clever girl can waste her life. She is so self-conscious, so aware of her condition. And she is not even close to tears. Its mi life. Period. I wish could heal her wounds and giver a second chance.
She seems to be a smart, straightforward person with poor life choices. She definitely has the chance to turn everything for the better, but her mindset of not accepting responsibility will definitely keep her tied up for good.
I cured a cocaine habit 25 years ago and never looked back. 1 st, admitting that you have a problem is key to recovery , second wanting to get better and thinking positive are important as well. Third , praying to God and wanting to make a difference helping others around you will make one feel better about themself. Trust me I was about one paycheck away from winding up homeless.
the world could use more people like you. u probably gave her more insight in this one experience than she's probably gotten from any rehab she's done. keep doin what you do
As an addict I can tell you rehab won’t work until you have rock bottom and want a better life. I’ve had 1 year clean on April 6th, I’ve lost everyone and everything I love. I still have my son on weekends thank goodness but the life I was once used to and the woman I loved and family that was there for me are gone. It’s a sad life sometimes in recovery, work during the week and go home to an Oxford house with other recovering addicts the only thing I have to look forward to is the weekends with my son. But like I said, the life and woman and family I wish I could have back is in the past so please everyone who is fighting this battle take it seriously because the life and people who are there for you now and are waiting for your change can be gone before you know it. Take it from me you don’t want to look back and wish you would of done it earlier. Watching the woman you love pick your son up and watching them leave wishing you could leave back home with them is really heartbreaking. The time I went to rehab before I got clean this time the director of the rehab facility told me “son get it together cause you think this time away from your family is hard, watching another man raise your son and being with the woman you love is some of the worst pain you will go through”. I wish I would of took his advice back in 2019. So please people take care of yourself and your addiction.
@@kamtorz Drugs are just as available in prison. And I hate to point this out but they have been locking up drug users for over half a century and guess what? Nothing has changed, drugs are flowing freely and the prisons are full. Do you know the definition of madness?
She hit the nail on the head with “It’s not going to work if you don’t want it to.” People can throw money and resources at addicts all day long. But as long as they still want that lifestyle, it’s money and resources wasted. If I could give all I had to clean up every addict, and set them in a good, stable life, I would. But I will not “enable” someone to stay in that lifestyle.
Human connection is the key. But how do you offer unconditional love and support to someone you don't know? That's why coming from a loving home is such an advantage.
I’ve been to rehab 6 times . Every time after I relapsed . I finally stopped on my own after I moved across the country . It doesn’t matter how many shrinks I went to, how many AA/NA meetings I attended, how many medications I was put on, fuck I even had Chinese acupuncture a few times, none of that shit helped until I was ready to quit myself .
@@mrshaneobuenosnodgrass3328 I don't talk about attachment and I'm aware that there is a spectrum. But I mean addiction in terms of a mental disorder. There is certain criteria which have to be met. If it doesn't affect the individual or the people around it it's not an addiction.
@@godsson7957 there are always attachments. It's part of life. Sobriety is a stupid ideology of the church. I'm not saying it isn't worth trying to stay off drugs and gambling and what not but it's also ok to indulge here and there when it costs one to much energy to stay away.
I've always wanted to go down and ask some people like this myself but I never knew how to go about it. I really like the way you respond to answers. No judgment, just a look into a life a lot of us know nothing about.
Hardened hearts are not good. The desire of the drug is her master. It controls your mind, body and emotions. It is repetitive cycle that has to be broken when she decides.
