An Ethical & Moral Dilemma. Should This Video Be Up?

I talked to Kelly after the video and we discussed her motivation with regard to doing a video. Long story short, she died and shortly after her death I had been communicating with a family member. Ultimately, I feel it's an individual that should decide if they want to do a videotape. Kelly felt if her story saved one girl from following the same path it would all be worth it. When alerted of her death I spoke with a family member and asked the question as to whether I should leave the video up ot take it down. I was asked to take it down. I never thought much about it. I think the video has been down over two years. Today I clicked on the video and listened to her. Honestly, I had forgotten she left a message for young people to listen to their parents. The more I thought about it the more I felt I should upload the video again. After all, it was her message. Any thoughts?

@@victoriapowell6318 Sadness over a life gone.

[@feloniousrapscallion3560]

As an addict and someone who struggles to remain clean, I watch these videos and it is a reminder of that life and the pain it brings. In Active addiction you don't/can't think of the "real" world you left behind because it brings pain. Your questions made her think about that stuff, and she probably hadn't for many years. My tears fell along with hers because I know that cycle too well. In recovery you can not become complacent or it will creep in and you will be right back in the life. Watching this video is a grim reminder of what it's like daily in the life of an addict. It reminds me of the pain and helps me to focus on the bad parts of addiction and not just the good feeling that your drug brings. So her message was felt and heard. It was hard to watch but she will help people. So sorry to the family. May she rest and know a pain free existence.

[@gg_rider]

Recovery from addition SHOULD NOT involve a "struggle" ideally, though it will at first. Buddha said, "Attachment is the cause of all Suffering." AA instructions say "Let go and Let God." It's a metaphor for living .. both phrases point to the same concept. Attachment to what? You can learn what that means from your own psych attachments. (A person can *have* things and people in their life without "attachment" to those things and people, and we can want certain outcomes without "attachment" to those outcomes we want.) I believe that the "struggles" to remain clean -- from a soul-sucking addiction -- requires some equally strong soul-filling spirituality. Not just a mental Bible-reading and memorizing scripture trip, but an active spiritual life, ALL of the 12 Steps, from surrender to action and the introspection in the middle. Sorry if it sounds like I'm just evangelizing like everyone else. I think the Book is an excellent blueprint overview of what to do and what not to do (like reviewing your day but *without* drifting into remorse over imperfections and failures), in slowly growing a spiritual life. The difficulty and challenge to learning that process and Path *is* a *time-consuming* and *attention-consuming* hobby & lifestyle ... this means consciously pursuing a spiritual life, with gratitude, which leaves no free time for wallowing in addictive thinking, and no time or inclination for reminiscing or entertaining "romantic" thoughts about the high. But it's also like a book on carpentry isn't the same as building a house, and a book on sex isn't the same as experimenting with good sex, and a book on healthy relationships isn't like finding and maintaining a healthy relationship. It takes time and experience and some experimenting to find the right mix.

I am blessed with 11 years of sobriety but it took 21 years to get my 11. That was 2 homeless shelter rehabs that have revolving doors and 28 day programs. That is not enough time to get rid of the substance and learn how to fill the emptiness with good just like she says. The way you keep it is by giving what was so freely given to you. Get a sponsor make 30 meetings in 30 days and help those who come behind you. It's a whole lifestyle change that takes time to learn how to deal with feelings and emotions that are raw, the shame and guilt while facing loved ones you feel you let down. Keep coming back it works if you work it

[@webbotubes]

What she says is so true. All of us need to enable recovery for others

[@starstruck2852]

This is the first time ive seen her and she seemed to be a sweet girl who just needed that one person to guide her in the right direction. Unfortunately that didnt happen for her but hopefully anyone watching these videos it will give them hope to do the right thing and get clean and change their life for the better. Every addict has a past story as to how they ended up there. And i give mad respect to these girls who tell their stories. May you rest in peace Kelly ❤️

[@9nineinches287]

Your words are nice....I am on the clock here in Melrose Park Illinois USA watching this video.. I watched it twice...

[@lukehoward4182]

Absolutely leave it up to show how beautiful of an individual she is inside and out, thanks for letting these people feel human your a class act man!

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@ashann269]

This is the most BEAUTIFUL interview ive seen. She touches my heart and helps me to keep staying sober and know how to help others. I think its so raw and heartbreaking its beautiful.

[@ashann269]

@@cindyfitzgerald4500 Thanks hun!

[@squidusn71]

This is sad especially when she said that she doesn't want to die like this. May you rest in peace and may the Lord have mercy on your soul.

[@douggodfrey6521]

Life is sweet n sad

[@blueday7537]

I say keep the video up. You never know who the video may touch one day. God rest her soul. 💘

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@ForogotD]

That part when you say to a woman "i see you again", makes me so sad. Thank you for videos and thank all individuals for teaching us a lesson. Do your school and listen to your parents. Drugs destroy not just individuals, it destroys all people who loves you... RIP, kind soul. 💜

[@valerief1231]

Another beautiful life cut down too soon. I’m glad you put this video back up, she shares an important message. I’m sorry she is no longer with us, only comfort is that she’s no longer in pain.

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@Lulzswag]

Oh my God brother. If the family doesn't understand how much this could help someone then I'm afraid I'd have to say you're going to need to play the role of the bad guy in this situation. It's for the greater good. If there is even a 1% chance. And DAMNIT... lol I'm sitting here tearing up writing this... If there is even a 1% chance that this video could help someone. It's worth it. Every part of every minute of this video WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT. Leave the video up brother.

[@johnrobertson108]

God she is beautiful.....America should STOP ALL FOREIGN AID and help its own people first

[@tobylangdale95]

I get where you are coming from, and I don't agree. Why? Because America doesn't have to stop foreign aid or anything else other than their insane and obscene drug policies, i.e. the war on drugs/prohibition/punishing users ect If America would simply follow the example of Portugal and other European countries that have comprehensively dealt with the very same substance/substance abuse and use problems , there wouldn't be a problem. Conflating one for the other, or that one causes the other is doing a disservice to yourself and others. We could throw in space exploration or anything else in general that just like foreign aid serves a positive purpose though may also have some problems. America just needs to start doing the right things that work, and stop doing the insane shit that obviously doesn't work. Just saying. Don't fall into the " us against them" trope, because if you do you'll soon find that it applies to everyone and everything outside of a two foot circle that surrounds you. Just saying.

[@Draeber]

The problem is not money, its that America doesnt care.

[@linguinepast3743]

America can help it’s own but we also have to help ourselves

[@josephzamora1814]

Yup

[@jackjackson7461]

If America wins the war on drugs or makes drugs legal then it stops the money train and they're not about to do that. If you look at the countries that have legalized drugs you will find out they don't have near the drug problem we do and nowhere near the death rate because of drugs that we have but if they Legalize It then they will lose a lot of money and they're not about to do that

[@davem3031]

Glad you kept the video up. It’s sad as she seemed like such a good person who wasted her life. Rip Kelly

[@Jamie_McElroy]

Oh no, she did die like that. I’m so sad. Bless her beautiful heart. She had hope, you could see it. Tears were popping out of her eyes as she spoke about her johns. She was ashamed of herself. I wish I could hug her. Thank you for posting this. This video needs to be shown in rehabs everywhere.

[@angiemurray3409]

I just want to say to the family I cried when i watched this Amazingly smart and beautiful soul tell her story of addiction and family particularly her bond w her sister and it hit home. I am deeply saddened by learning her loss after I read into it further. She was the first person since watching these videos that I wanted to reach out to and help. Please know that I do believe her video will make a difference in someone. It sure did me. I believe whole heartedly that if we were to take her advice and take the initiative to set up these treatments for addicts that it would be easier for them to accept help as I was an addict myself. All my love.

[@larrygavin4059]

This Lady wowed me. I have interacted with many people from all walks of life. It amazes me how people like her really cause sorrow to me when I hear they are gone. Thank you Tom for bringing these lost, but beautiful people into my home, as I'm sure I probably won't get the privilege to meet these people in person. I'm sure if people had the opportunity to ride along with you, they, along with me, would so jump at the chance.

[@raven1864]

Tom, I really respect and enjoy what you do. Kelly made the decision to have the video up and it was her who has a message and hoped it would help. I know families like to remove what hurts but kelly is/was an adult who made her own decisions......leave it up.

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@LordPrometheous]

Exactly. If they weren't able to help her much in life, they could at least respect her wishes in death, and nobody is forcing them to watch it if they don't want to.

[@markiepooharling1043]

Wow did I just get soul crushed when I read thd description after the video. I was thinking, here's a girl who can beat this. She knew what was headed her way and addiction almost always wins. We need to change that.😢

[@paulperrington5374]

This really breaks my heart. Praying for the ones out there still struggling!!!

[@nickelbaby2043]

It breaks my heart to know she pass away.God rest her soul.I believe u did the right thing

[@billybobking200]

Your vidéos are important. They showed a reality that we don’t know or don’t want to know. You also have great respect of these people and they Opened their heart to you like if you were a real friend. Thank you.

[@ChosenWon]

Thank you.

[@polychronisrempoulakis3588]

Yes, this video should be up, for our children to see when they are ready for this life lesson! In a way, those words are her legacy to us and this is priceless! You do a good deed with those interviews!

[@MrLorir100]

Thankyou for sharing her story ,may she rest in peace.

[@BrittenyRosee]

My heart aches for her, along with all these poor girls on the streets. All they need is some love and encouragement and someone to show them how worthy of life they are.

[@Realityof76]

I love the way he interviews and his voice.

[@ChosenWon]

Thank you.

[@jenniferchristophel659]

Thank you for the video Tom. You are doing a great job posting your videos. You are honoring this woman's life and I thank you and love you 💜💗💖💕💟💕

[@ChosenWon]

Thank you.

[@kellyanneproducts2227]

As a parent it would hurt me everytime I would see this...but that other side of me would say...please GOD Don't let any other parent or child suffer this. 😔 the youth need to see this. They all NEED TO SEE THIS

[@correaplayz01nunya93]

Well for me, watching a video of someone who has died as a result of this life, is extemely impactful and puts a face to the harsh reality. Also, she can continue to affect people long after her passing, and I think of that as a gift to others and to her. I think its a good thing

[@ChosenWon]

Thank you. I couldn't agree more.

[@courtneysha8004]

It is so hard seeing this video for me because she didn't want to have that kind of life. I was addicted to pain pills my doctor's kept telling me in pain management that I wasn't addicted I just had a opioid dependence. So for 10 plus years I believed them and took my pills no more but no less. I was a legal drug addict! The doctors were making me believe I needed these to survive but I really only needed myself to survive. I kicked the pills cold turkey and started running daily. Welllllll I found out that running gives you a better high than pills! I've lost weight, met some cool cats and I am more clear headed and healthy than I have been in my entire life. I only depend on ME! No pill, drug or man.... Guess what? I am happy and love life. You can do it to... Although I'll most likely need a knee replacement in years to come from the 🏃. Jk haha who knows

[@fdeebach]

I appreciate that you have uploaded it to share her story to others and if it does save a life then her life made a difference.

[@zeejo30]

I am so sorry that she passed away. Kelly seemed like such a good person, with good intentions. If only more people would listen to their parents, or at least, to someone who is wise and loving. I will never judge people who abuse drugs or alcohol though. Everyone has their own secret pain that they are trying to numb. I am glad that Kelly's legacy will live on through this video.

[@TheAcquibajo]

What a loss. She was a beautiful soul. Keep the video up. We can all learn from Kelly.♥️

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@brian5o]

You did the right thing by putting this video back up, my friend. It was Kelly that wanted to share her story. She offered you the interview because she wanted to do it and I am sure try to help out others. Keeping it up is honoring her wishes. If that upsets her family, that's unfortunate however they don't have to watch it. If they choose to, that's on them. You're doing right by Kelly by sharing her story. Keep up the great work!

[@ChosenWon]

Thank you.

[@shawnlund]

It was her choice and her message, It should be up.

[@gisellefranco8957]

This video should definitely stay up

[@treseatimson3349]

I'd say leave the video up because it just might help the next person who sees this. video.

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@angietarbill]

So sorry she didn’t make it, this was so far one of my most favorite videos. Love how real it is, how honest and you can tell , she was a beautiful person inside and out. It should be up , in my opinion

[@fibby-enymore6601]

God bless u immensely for reposting dis video..pls keep it on..May she rest in peace.. Am so tearful for her..I luv u Kelly

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@rickfromhell]

I've seen this video before, and I knew I did, because I recognized her face. The way you recognize a neighbor, or someone you see around your community. It feels good to recognize a face you'd been rooting for, even just in a video. Glad to see you re-uploaded, cause this is how she intended to share her life with us. It was really good to see you again, Kelly 🥲
