Homelessness, Hospitals & Helplessness

Today, Ben shares his struggles and what he has been going through for the past 2 weeks; and how he recognizes that it is getting tougher. The fight has been challenging for me.
As a loved one self-care is imperative and remember you do not have control over your addicts choices.
Where there is breath, there is hope. ✌️ ❤️

Thanks for your comment. You are right. Getting clean and staying clean are 2 different things. I hope you can recognize all the benefits of being clean. One that I think of is taking control back of your life. Sending much love and prayers. ❤️🙏✌️❤️

I lost my loved one month ago . Actually he was going good .got new house have good job he loved got his car back . He was happy full of dreams and plans. But than this evening he met wrong person and they even didnt mind to call hospital help when he felt on the floor .they only call police when he was already death from one hour .( i guess they need time to clean up first before the police come) so the life of my loved one finish not the way he deserved. He was lovely person and everyone who knows him love him .he made everyone laughing ... he help everyone ...he had good lovely heart ... but after using coke he was getting psychosis when he feel very scare .and nobody even know if he died naturaly or not .because for police he was just one more junkie.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I don’t know where you live but here in Canada we have a Good Samaritan act. If someone overdoses, they want you to call 911. There will be no charges laid. If more people knew about this, we could save more lives. This is one of many reasons for doing these videos. They are not just junkies, they are human beings that are struggling. I’m sure your loved one was an amazing person who made a difference in so many peoples lives. Sending you much love, strength and healing. ✌️ ❤️

@@SpiritToLive i m living in Netherland . So you are from Canada?He had Family in Canada too.. thank you for your words.. it seems like 75% of people are junkies . If you call a junkie someone who just consume drugs.. people use at work, at parties .. At home...sad. ..we are all human being and we all should react when we see that somebody needs help. .. there should be taken charges if someone dont help
