Fentanyl Addict interview-Vanessa

[@elijahb59]

Vanessa, I was sober for 4 years, relapsed and went back out for almost 10 years. I’ve been 6 years sober now and my life has never been better. There is hope for you so never give up. ❤

[@gossamer9966]

Crazy me too, I got sober at meetings for 4 years, moved to FL and relapsed for 10, then moved back home and went to treatment and stayed sober for 6. Unfortunately I relapsed and have been in and out of recovery for years now, trying to stop bingeing and collecting white chips :/

[@phillipcooke500]

Deciding not to bring kids into the chaos. Good way to stop the cycle. Good luck Vanessa.

[@axlesolace6502]

Yes, I commend her for this decision.

[@goodtalker]

My daughter is 39. She grew up in a small farming town in Imperial County. She went to Orange County on a track scholarship, got addicted to drugs and the night life, had an abortion, and eventually made it back to a Christian Drug program. She got sober, and things went very well for her. She became an RN, got married, had three kids of her own--but eventually left the marriage, got a divorce, and her former husband has full custody of the children. She reminds me a great deal of the young woman in this episode. I think she would "come back to her senses" if people were to stop enabling her. That's what co-dependence is all about. IMHO, it's impossible for anyone to "save" anybody. I've surrendered her to My Savior--and pray for her often.

[@pointpleasant6708]

Interesting that Vanessa began the interview by stating both her parents are drug addicts but then said her greatest regret was not being the daughter her mother deserved. What about her not being the mother Vanessa deserved?

[@cheyannemarys]

It’s a cycle that has not yet been broken.

[@chanelleum7912]

Sounds like she harbors guilt. I think she believes that if she had been a "good" daughter, her parents would have loved her more. I pray for this woman. Hope she breaks the cycle of self hate and grows to understand that her parent's problems were never hers to carry.

[@KimMoore-i3q]

My heart breaks for this beautiful woman. Her soul screams sadness and her depression is palpable. So many people, including myself, only think our lives are difficult. I pray for this young woman.

@@AnaFernandez-jp5uhwhy pro choice is the correct choice

[@apaaaa]

Same. I respect all my peers who made that choice. I made the no-kid decision in my early 20's when the lifestyle got serious. I'll go to prison or ruin my own life but I couldn't bring a kid into that mess even though some partners wanted to. I'm 34 so I still got time if I meet someone but it's not a possibility rn bc I'm just 85 days clean after 17 years of addiction. I need my life to be solid (years clean, finish off my higher education and have a stable job) before I even think of having kids..

[@lindagee8724]

​@apaaaa you still have plenty of time but try to work towards that. 85 days clean, stay strong, well done so far, don't make the mistake of leaving it too late, which l did, can't bring a new life into unstable life, hey

[@pete4693]

Relapse is part of recovery. Very few of us get it the first time and I will say the most dangerous relapse is the first one after a strong recovery because you think you can never get it back like that. I have good news for you not only can you get that back but you can actually get something better because you have that experience to add to your arsenal of things to protect you from the disease. Don't quit before the miracle all of a sudden something clicks and the last thing you wanna do is ever use that substance again. I'm terrified of alcohol because I know it would make me pick up a crack pipe. I am truly grateful for that knowledge and every day I use it.

Mark, I’m a drug and alcohol counselor and I’m trying to use some of your vids in group therapy. I saw you in the Joe Rogan show talk about how bored you are with the drug videos. I feel you’re not getting into the nitty gritty of their use. After you get their childhood stuff, how they got to where they are now, get into the drugs they’re using now. How much they’re using, what they’re using, when’s the last time they used, have they ever gone for treatment, and what is their bottom! What is it going to take to get them to stop and reshape their lives. If Skid row isn’t their low, what is? Have they given up? Think in terms of a substance advice group therapy and the things they need to hear. Love your show…keep up the drug videos. Just reshape them and put some excitement into them. You can tell in your b voice you’re bored

At the end of 2016 in St Petersburg Florida I was finally able to get clean from Heroin for just today. I've managed to put together almost 8 years of clean time. I was 56 and had many underlying issues PTS, Depression and Homelessness. I will always be indebted to the good people of Bay Pines VA who showed me a way. During my time using I came up with every excuse in the world to not stop. The main one for a long time was I wanted to get high more than straighten out my life.

Vanessa stated that she regretted not being the daughter that her mom deserved, but on the other hand, Vanessa, when growing up, deserved parents who weren’t drug addicts.

Vanessa ponders each and every question to give an honest answer and is very well spoken. Her nails are done along with her makeup so she has some self respect left to her. I pray that she can find her way out as she deserves so much more than stripping and numbing herself to be able to do it. She knows there's another kind of life waiting which is promising. I'd love an update if her situation changes.

[@melissamullins8640]

[@pete4693]

While, after many years in recovery, I've learned that it's never too late to start again, 34 is young, my dear. I was in a car crash at 30 which totally changed my life. Now at 64, I'm healthy as a horse and been in recovery for many years now, I don't count the years. I focus on how I'm doing today. But I will tell you it does get a lot easier as you adjust to sobriety and keep in mind that most addicts go through the hardest part of recovery over and over again. The good stuff is down the road if you can just hold on, I raised my son alone. I own a home. I have a drivers license with no points on it and those are just a few of the many things I've gotten back. Most importantly, I have moments of peace. I wish that for you more than anything. peace,my dear, come back to the rooms they are waiting for you.

A lot of addicts want to become counselors after they get sober, but not everybody is built for it.

You definitely have a story that needs telling and the rooms are a perfect place for it. Go get well, people need you and you need us, the trustworthy ones.

Getting sober is a spiritual awakening! You’ve been oppressing that light in you through the use of drugs and it deadens that part of you. When your body starts to get rid of these toxins through withdrawal/recovery, your spirit comes alive again.

Her Cocktail of substances tell me this woman has some deep pain she’s been carrying around for a while. I use the word pain, because a multitude of things could have negatively impacted her. Either way the end result of those mishaps is pain/painful. When you have no support or loved one there to keep you pushing through, one tends to bottle it up & self medicate/ abuse whatever numbs the trauma.

[@charlottesantafe3561]

There exists addicts who had no trauma before addiction took hold. Addiction happens to healthy people with no trauma. Trauma uduallly occurs in Addicts lives. Some people experience trauma of all types and never develop addictions to substance OR develop negative or addictive behavioral problems or addictions. It is not true that addiction is CAUSED by trauma though we see them most frequebtly co-occuring and complex when they do.

[@moeuthmoth1796]

@ I hope you’re not inciting that i am saying that’s why people become addicted. Simply cause of trauma. From my personal experience. It can vary on various factors why one becomes addicted, to whatever substance it may be. Whether it is illicit or pharmaceutical. For example, a person with no real hardships, simply had a great upbringing can become addicted to benzodiazepines, opiates, simply by getting them prescribed & not aware of the physical & mental risks of becoming dependent on them & the day that medication is not available could cause them to obtain it illegally or substitute it illicitly. I believe having will power and being strong minded plays a big part. The other being someone having been abused since childhood and having a traumatic upbringing or whatever, to turn to a substance that helps them cope with their issues, “pain”. I can go on & on on the numerous scenarios/reasons one could become addicted and consumed. As well as not. Im just speaking from personal experiences/people I know that have been on both sides.
