Remember, Sober means clean and free from all mind, mood, and habit forming substances, leafs and liquids. Congrats to you for being Straight Edge for Life!

[@mikehuff9793]

@@jonathanbrotherton7769that’s impossible. We all use coping mechanisms. Behavior is the most addictive part of addiction. What you’re describing is a perfect human. We know that doesn’t exist. See, in recovery we learn about addiction as a behavior, not an outside factor like a leaf or liquid. Those of us in recovery hopefully make “the turn,” where we do indeed try to not relapse into any old negative behaviors that may lead to drug use. We try to be the best versions of ourselves we can be. In that, we know that no human on planet earth has “perfect behavior.” No human on this earth has it so easy. We are all suffering something. “To err is human; perfection is godlike.” Straight edge people are not gods. Sorry, not sorry. You can hold yourself to that standard: but I doubt very seriously that there’s any human who can never be sad, never have a bad thought, never have a bad day, never morning the loss of a loved one, who is never faced with the hard times in life. We are all suffering from something. In recovery we forgive ourselves and each other. We don’t hold each other to these impossible standards. We try, but we don’t cover up tattoos and promises we made to ourselves when we fail. We know we are human, and are patient with ourselves and each other. What we don’t have patience for is someone else who has never been through what we’ve been through trying to set the standards by which we live. Compassion is universal. Compassion doesn’t judge and set standards. Compassion doesn’t remind us where the bar is we much reach. We do not run around reminding each other because we don’t compare. What works for me works for me. CBT worked for me…AA/NA 12 steps worked for my wife. We do not criticize each other. I don’t hold her to the standard of cognitive behavioral therapy and she doesn’t hold me to 12-step standards. You want to be straight edge?..cool, be that. But that doesn’t make you the authority on what it means to clean and sober.

[@LesAtlas]

Decades ago I had a mountain climbing accident which damaged my spine. As a result my legs hurt all the time. I've had plenty of surgeries which have not helped. Every day is a struggle due to my chronic pain. 10-20 years ago, the medical profession did not undertreat pain. I could get methadone and hydrocodone which I carefully only took as prescribed. They did not remove the pain, not even close, but I was functional. But these opiates are now considered some awful poison. The government sometimes changes rules and doctors need to abide by the rules. So, again, with no warning, my hydrocodone almost stopped a few days ago. What are my choices? Live with this intolerable severe pain, which is really not possible, or end up on the street? Some of us are addicted, but really do need the pain reduction. It's not about trauma or mental health. It's instead the intense need to reduce real physical pain. I'm not using fentanyl yet, but I could very well end up there.

People love to wiggle their moral finger instead of using their brain. A story as old as time.

[@benjaminciotti3462]

She doesn't look bad for 46

[@seltzermint5]

I agree. She is one year younger than I am and I would have guessed that pretty close (43-46 if I didn't know). Usually in these videos I'm wrong because the person is so aged due to lifestyle.

[@a.mie.533]

Mark's "hm"- responses are priceless 😂!

[@donseiler1307]

And of course she has kids that she is not raising. Blames everyone - takes no responsibility for her actions. Disgusting.

[@karenwalker3233]

Prayers sent to you Berlin for recovery!

[@jenniferevans4874]

Sorry but it’s all a pity party and people can find any excuse for living a weak and pathetic life . A thief .

[@charliemiller1934]

Berlin is cool lady and so softly spoken. I hope you find whatever you are looking for. Thank you for sharing.

[@darlenel9226]

She's rebellious and hasn't learned anything. People are "judgemental" against things because some things are BAD for us.

[@Sonia94537]

I am glad he said:"You can still do that." Sometimes it feels like he cheers only the young guys.

[@jacobosbak]

that shrug of the shoulders and roll of the eyes seems to be her responsibility to her life and kids

[@UNKALgqUS1]

I don't know how you but it feels like an interview from a heavenly being. God bless her.

[@jeffv2981]

She looks like a ghoul or skeletor, tf you mean heavenly being?

[@ow3wells]

Sketchy story teller, but overall I believe her story because you can tell she’s learn some important lessons in life.

[@ddz1375]

Agree super sketchy

[@ow3wells]

@@shannykush She learned the lesson that you can never judge a book by its cover.

It appears Berlin has learned NO important lessons in her life.

Girl, please get help.

Thank you for sharing Berlin🙏💙

[@sarajoyann]

She is so calm

[@a.johnson4291]

She's on Fentanyl 😂

[@baublesanddolls]

She’s high on fentanyl. It does that.

Sounds a tad “Booo Hoooo poor me…I don’t know why but…poor ME.”

[@whiteyfisk9769]

So like every woman today???

[@donseiler1307]

A series of bad decisions. We reap what we sow. Next.

[@skippygatten8572]

She was on another channel called "Street Disclosures."" It is an Orange County based channel like SWU. Sad situation

[@KJ-tz7vc]

I'm glad to see her here as Street Disclosures hasn't updated in awhile.

[@uc3406]

There are several videos and shorts of her there, with a different name and different stories. I still like her and wish her all the best.

[@edieseltzer4896]

I really liked this story! Ty for sharing

[@mrabrasive51]

Shes the perfect blueprint for how to fuck up your life!.she'll never quit because she loves her life as is!

[@finisheseverythi]

How do you reach that conclusion? Her shame is literally overflowing. She is haunted by it and disconnected. Her fentanyl is the solution she has found to her pain. She knows it isn't helpful. This is not simply about choice.

[@mrabrasive51]

@@finisheseverythi you don't know much about addicts..they're liars and manipulators!

[@canterberrytells8215]

We do recover babe!! You’re so so beautiful and such a beautiful soul. Hugging you from here.

Her dad set the stage for drug abuse

[@Monikquar]

Honey! I'm watching you from Australia. That doesn't mean much, except that I'm hearing your story and I'm going through a similar ordeal. We can get through this xx I can see you have the most caring heart xx best wishes

[@clancykeegan748]

Berlin should have her own studio creating art/ fashion. Such a waste of your life, Berlin. Head towards the light. God has a plan for you. Start praying 🙏

[@petethefeet1461]

just curious .. why didn't god stop this lady or any person doing drugs but takes the credit if someone gets clean

[@naelyneurkopfen9741]

​@@petethefeet1461We have freewill, we choose to do what he asks, or we don't. When you realize that your own power does nothing for you, no matter how hard and how many times you've tried, you just give it all to Him. Every bit of it. You literally humble yourself and bow to Him. He gets the glory because only dying to self and trusting Him was able to save you from yourself.

[@reannfrantz9102]

​​@@petethefeet1461God doesn't force himself on us. He gives us free will. He didn't force the drugs on her. She made the choice to take them. That said, he gives a way out, if we will turn our will and lives over to him. We can overcome the flesh, even death, through Yeshua.

[@marsayshih6978]

The stealing is horrendous.

[@readyeddie2065]

@@petethefeet1461God doesn’t get in the way of our free will but he’s always there to help us when we decide to turn to him. I don’t pretend to understand it all but that’s the best way it was explained to me. It’s not that he can’t interfere with our free will but He chooses not to in order for us get what we’re supposed to get out of this life.

[@JoeL-zb1yd]

He didn't ask her if she ever got caught, did jail time, etc. Not believable.

[@elainemcginnis7361]

Great interview

[@danhoebbel2250]

I can relate to your story! Especially family dynamic. Different drugs, different traumas. Wish you the best of luck !

[@CastorPollum]

I don't think I will ever understand why people decide to cover/destroy their entire body with tattoos. I fail to see the appeal.

I commend you It takes guts to do an interview of this magnitude. It certainly kept me engrossed. I'm sorry you had to go through what you had to. You deserve better. Please be good to yourself Berlin. I am in recovery and developed a circle of people that care about me. I also have a God in my life. You seem to be "brutality honest" with your pain; Berlin you would be able to help so many women. Please get clean. Please There is nowhere to go but up Berlin. Make that choice (for Yourself)
