You're right. It's actually a selfish decision to not think of the life and health of the baby.

My wife and I came very close to being in this situation. We were addicted for years and living in hotels (with kids). We got on methadone and it helped save our lives. This was in the 90’s. Now we have grandchildren, are still clean, and are still married decades later and happier than ever. This interview hits close to the bone. Add: I didn’t mention how hard it was to get off methadone- it’s SLOW, as in a few years… but it’s nothing like trying to live in the streets and sling/tangle dope. If you follow the plan you can get clean.

[@adrt9688]

Good to hear success stories

[@JacksonDunnoKnows]

Good work. Medically assisted treatment can work. But one has to put as much or more time into it to get clean. Alot of people don't want to use a prescription opiate to get off an opiate, but it can get you through the rough parts. Then follow the program, and taper off. But as well, it isn't a norm. 🍻

If they are truly lucky they will find someone at the same level of self awareness and be each others support systems. That’s what saved my wife and I.

I was with this girl I met when I was 18, and we went from smoking weed to full blown opioid addiction. Usually it's more of a partner in crime situation instead of a real relationship. Once I got clean, and she didn't, you see how little you really have in common with the other person. In the throws of addiction, you couldn't tell me to leave her. But once I did, it was life changing. There are people who can get clean and stay together, but 9/10 times it doesn't work. No one wants to hear it, but it's a huge step.

A head that never ever is quiet. It's hard to live with a head that fucking never takes one second off! That's why people use because they need to feel som peace from themselves. However, there are examples like you, who actually have quit drugs. And you've probably learnt other methods to deal with your demons. Some people exercise, some knit, some paint, but also therapy is needed in most cases. Good luck, you've done something amazing, I hope you're extremely proud of yourself because you deserve it!

[@kmeccat]

She's pretty, but she's not employable. She'd be in the back room or alley getting high all day and night. This is where MANDATORY LONG TERM rehab is needed. You can't leave these addicts to make the decision--they won't. And short term rehab isn't long enough to make a difference.

[@ivansyomkin2156]

@@kmeccat You know most rehabs have people dealing in them right? The only chance for an addict to quit is if they decide to quit. Throwing them into rehab against their will won't help: they'll either find something there to get high on or relapse the moment they are let go.

I’ve been with my wife since we were 15 we’re both 44 and 45 now when I was 23 years old I got non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was given every painkiller available and became addicted. The doctors just cut me off and then I learned what addiction was. we’re both still taking Suboxone but we’ve always work for a living and I have a middle class house with three kids. Afraid of withdrawals, and not being able to work I would lose everything. I’m afraid I’m going to die this way.

6 WEEKS IS NOT TOO LATE FOR AN ABORTION… that’s literally the very beginning of pregnancy. Just because it will make you feel bad is not a reason! Think of how bad your child is going to feel being born addicted to drugs?! It is so irresponsible. You absolutely should have an abortion. When you get sober then try again. But at this point you’re only setting the baby up for a lifetime of pain.

I think it should be a law that every pregnant woman in this country is drug tested regularly. If they repeatedly fail when that child is born that needs to be taken away from them. Unborn children have no ability to consent to whether they want to come into this world or not. And bringing them into this world with parents like this is absolutely cruel. It's child abuse.

The story that really opened my eyes to Mark and made me start questioning his integrity was Amanda Rabb.. It’s a deep rabbit hole that I explored extensively.(I have many videos up on my account if you’d like to explore yourself) There’s a lot to question about the sincerity of it all.

Couple who meet on drugs ..are my toughest crowd they feed each and defend other’s habits, their morals prohibit termination (it isn’t too late at 6 weeks is it where they were? ) but she will work the streets and use incredible amounts of drugs therefore her baby is using them as well. He doesn’t care she sells herself. They both put fentanyl and NOT getting sick above everything, they get clean then hit it harder. On an on the inheritance is trauma .

I had a friend in childhood, who got into drugs in his teen years. Later in life our paths diverged for several years and when I met him at the age of 20+ he looked like himself, but it wasn't him, he was like a totally different person; he lost any happiness in life and was senseless and depressed while sober. Basically, he didn't live anymore, he just existed... It's so sad and distutbing to witness how drugs degrade people to the level where they lose any purpose in life beside getting high... He was raised by a single mother and from these series as well I can see how important for a child is to have both parents who are also adequate, and I'm so grateful I have both.

[@wanderingsoul2931]

My brother.. he was such a happy fun kid.. got into drugs and was clean for 4 years.. during that time he seemed like he was just existing.. I felt so bad for him and sadly he relapsed and god took him December 7,2022… I miss him so much but I know he’s happy in heaven now. I’ll never understand the constant battle he went with but he was never the same again.. he didn’t know how to live a life without drugs :(

As a former drug & alcohol worker, I have never seen a couple more "un-ready" to change.. Obviously there's that strong physical addiction there but the emotional addiction that comes with it also is so evident here. Their need to escape reality is too much.. Marks responses to this interview are also interesting - almost judgemental and impatient. That's said in a purely observational way without criticism. As a therapist, I'm interested in analysing why he responded in the way he did.. As always, love your work and content Mark x

[@SharonBrown-r6b]

Because Mark isn't a therapist and most likely recognizes that the baby is the innocent victim. Whatever led these two to where they are they are more concerned about themselves.

Drugs keep you in arrested development. The pain is the void or space between adolescence and adulthood all humans pass through. Anxiety is a human condition most people have. Using drugs is the easiest way to address it. So whenever an addict becomes sober it returns greater than ever. It builds. The good news is it goes away as you mature, sober.
