"Heroin Has Captured Me For The Rest Of My Life." | A drug addict interview in Kensington, PA (4K)

[@BobbySchaffer]

Bud is back home with family. I flew out and got him. I’m his brother.

[@christykey5051]

He is very lucky to have you.

[@galegrazutis964]

His bored!? REALLY we are all bored and sick and tired ! But the majority of us have to get up and go to work. Its called being a responsible adult. If you cant do that its on you!

[@BobbySchaffer]

@@galegrazutis964 our parents had just passed away each in his arms , he took a Amtrak to go get rehab as Philly may understand “Fentanyl “ better. But tried the Kensington drugs. Bored not really correct word.

[@unheardvoices_official]

If this is true, I'd like to help get him some things he needs. I can give you my email so you can get ahold of me.

[@TwinSister1957]

For Bud's brother who came and got him, your love is unconditional. I was the only family member who was ALWAYS there for my granddaughter. Through very hard times, very dark times. She knew her Granny would never judge her, She knew my unconditional love was forever. Bless you and your brother.

[@unheardvoices_official]

@cindytackett7106 That's amazing, Cindy. I'm glad your granddaughter had you. And you're right. Bud's brother coming to get him was definitely unconditional love.

Heroin is tough..I Quit on January First,2000....COLD TURKEY... Got tired of being sick. Got sick of being tired. Got sick and tired of being sick and tired.... It's all a Vicious Cycle. My body looks like a road map of abcess scars ..EVERYWHERE. I didn't feel ' OK' for three years. I still dream of it...

[@RobertaFierro-mc1ub]

[@aronrosas4191]

Heroin is extremely addicting. I was homeless many years and climbed out of the streets eventually, because i hated living that way and therefore the journey to recovery was tolerable.

[@unheardvoices_official]

@@aronrosas4191 Congratulations on making it out. That's what's up. I totally feel you. I just hit 10 years clean myself back in April. Keep going. You got this!

[@rustykiley3577]

You took me all the way back to my detox's. Ended up in ICU in induced coma for 4 days. I also drank a lot with the dope. Damn near killed me. Dr told me I either needed to never use again or keep using cause the detox for had gotten so severe. I was having nonstop grand Mal seizures which is why they induced coma. 58 yrs old and been on a fairly low dose of methadone and AA. Hope this guy can get some hope

[@unheardvoices_official]

Damn, that's crazy. I'm glad you were able to make it through all that. Congratulations on that. You definitely deserve it. Keep shining, brother. You got this!

[@rustykiley3577]

@unheardvoices_official thanks!! I'm grateful to be alive and reasonable happy. Hope I can be of help to others. I first did heroin in SF in 1988. The whole scene has changed to the point its satanic. People are polluting the drugs and the drugs are more powerful and more addictive. Anyone that puts xylazine in fentanyl doesn't have a soul. Plus all the violence. The aspect that tells me this is aimed at hurting people is how cheap it is. Made for anyone to be able to get it.

[@pamdubose1409]

Glad ur helping him. We helped my brother 30x and don’t regret it. He passed 2 years ago. He was drinking, had a heart attack, ran outside and fell in a pond and drowned. 3 days before we found him. 😢😢

[@unheardvoices_official]

Wow! That's crazy. I'm so sorry to hear that. 🙏

[@TheKeltris]

I am from Orange county California, I understand the boredom he speaks about and the lack of true connections. Bud, your heart is in the right place and I'm so glad your brother loved you enough to get you. I hope you find the support system you need!!

[@jimmyfusion-c7b]

I hope this guy finds a way away from his addiction and finds some love and peace... He has so much to offer... Good luck and God bless!!

[@unheardvoices_official]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jimmy. His brother notified everyone that he went to Philly and got him and brought him back home to California. I'm rooting for them.

[@LimoneneDaddy]

Og spitting facts.. i got out of kenzo at the end of 2021, was running around there off and on from 2015 til then. The withdrawals are brutal but they are the easy part, the tough part is living with the long term consequences of said drug use/ bad decisions, without using those drugs

[@unheardvoices_official]

That's what's up, Andrew. I'm so glad you were able to get out of there, bro. You're right. It's tough living with the long-term consequences. You're making it, though. Keep pushing forward, bro. You got this!

[@michamay755]

Yes, I agree, that's the hard part, after the drugs.

[@whocares4464]

💯 getting clean is the easiest part for me too but staying clean is a whole other ballgame!!! I had 13 years California clean just to relapse and start all over again

[@EYES2seeEARS2hear78]

I was legally prescribed methadone and dilaudid for chronic pain for over a decade. When my doctor left practice (stroke due to a flu shot), I had nothing. Decided to get off. Methadone is fucking bad…took months. 3-4yrs ago… took kratom to relieve the symptoms of legit pain relief. 6 months on fetty, got TF off that garbage as well. A year and a half ago. It sucks ass, even harder if you’re on the streets. Drugs are part of the eugenics program 2024. This is a war on people. Period

[@freedomdove]

Those withdrawal symptoms can be overcome. It's temporary, however agonizing it is.

[@BobbySchaffer]

I was so worried every day he was in Philadelphia, they go months and months without a phone. Thank You to everyone who cares. You can pluck them away , but you need to take them to a real hospital.

[@howardcraigiv518]

You know that someones life and mental state is not functioning properly and is unmanageable if one decides to up root completely across country to chase your Drug of choice because another addict told that it was more accepting of Opiate addiction in that state. I was a addict for over 17yrs hook on dope and the dope game has completely changed and is not anything like it was before. Addiction definitely is a mental health issue. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, please do not hesitate to reach out for Help. It’s a dog eat world in those streets of Philly. I know first hand because the Bad Lands and Baltimore where my spots to get on and i know first hand how bad those streets are. I pray each and every single day for all those in addiction because i know how real that battle is every day and i do not wish that on anyone or anyone’s Family. God Bless 🙏🏼

[@BobbySchaffer]

yes and years of it blends with the mental illness and become one. At 17 years you were close to the point of no return .

[@TaylorSmith-d4v]

Amen Jesus Christ be with you

[@davehughes53]

Bud is a rare breed nowadays. Those born in 70-80s using dope are mostly gone/ passed away. They were using when her0in was still real in the 90s. Bud has more knowledge in his pinky then most people on the street sober or high.

I work and do not have any extra money for anything where do these people get the money

From all different avenues. Some panhandle. Some boost. Some do other things. It's not hard, especially when you can get a pill of dope for $2 or $3.

[@krystiangorski6201]

Also he's not paying rent or bills while he's on a run. Any money he makes goes to getting well. Anything left goes to cigarettes or food or other necessities. But getting right is top priority. And I guarantee you he rather be working, clean, with a place to live even if he's broke than living this nightmare. I know it's hard to understand and most people who haven't been through it won't. I guarantee you though, he appreciates little things like clean socks, safe place to sleep, running water, things that " normal " people don't think twice about
