[@vanessapoulin3523]

As a recovering addict, I can tell you that the mother is not helping. I hope the end of the episode she learns from this because enabling is going to just feed her addiction. It was not until my mother died, my father took me in and gave me weekly urines. But before that I was on the streets and begged and begged to stay anywhere, no luck. I did not want to get clean. Until I lost EVERYTHING, including my sanity, I couldn't get clean. I moved in with my father who is in recovery, and at first it helped. Until he started stealing my Suboxone. I then relapsed because my father enabled me. I moved out and started using again. It was not until I was ready to kill myself that I dragged myself to get help. By myself. No one to help me. Tough love is the only way. I'm speaking from experience.

[@AnnaInWonderTube]

Vanessa, thank u for sharing your experience. I would like to ask you, if u feel comfortable to answer: why would anyone won't Iike to get clean? Is it a self destruction mechanism? Being an addict is obviously not an easy lifestyle

[@magdalenauzarska2132]

I disagree with u. Remember everyone is different. Not everyone needs to be kicked out and homeless to go for help.

[@cadavher]

@@AnnaInWonderTube because being clean means facing the problems that led to the addiction in the first place. It means staring at your trauma head on, instead of numbing it. For those who started because of trauma like being SA'd, abused etc, it's mental anguish that the drugs take away. For those who got hooked after being in car accidents, or other bodily harms, it's not wanting to deal with not only the withdrawl symptoms (which feel like you're actually dying), it's knowing without them you will always be in pain where the bones were broken etc. There are two kinds of addicts, mental addiction and physical, and often overlap. Both are not easy. It takes an incredibly determined mind and a LOT of understanding and proper help to not only get clean, but stay.

I wish that there'd be anything a person could do to get to that point of thought. I'm really glad you made it, I can only the imagine the sheer willpower it must have taken! It's been more than ten years for me, and somehow I've never got to that point. I thought hitting rock bottom would cause that need to recover but it didn't. I'm on suboxone now and life got much better, but being clean still feels unimaginable. Keep up the good work!

My first drug was alcohol. After that, marijuana, meth, then cocaine. I've been clean and sober 29 years. I stopped before I started losing everything. My 3 sons and I lived in a women's shelter. Had I not stopped then, I would have lost my boys. I also stopped associating and dating anyone using drugs. Cocaine was my drug of choice. I did snort heroin once, I didn't care for it. My kids saved my life. My youngest son, who was a 6 month old baby when I quit, is a heroin addict. He's 30 and in prison for 3rd time. I totally relate to this mom. I am this mom. His addiction has put a toll on my health. I have crohn's disease, stress causes flares. He had been living with me off and on his adult life. I've made it clear that he can't live with me when he gets out. I can't handle being around his drug addiction. He is very schizophrenic when he uses meth, to use less heroin. He's done rehab a bunch. He's tried suboxone too. I sure hope this stint in prison will help him stay clean this time, when he gets out.

It wasn't a rehab she was living in a boarding house that allows residents to use drugs. We have them here in Australia also.

You wouldn't have so many homeless people if you're government cared about you the way Europe and Australia do.

[@748xxjxxexx9]

@Gcoolsnow I couldn't agree more! 😭 It's really really sad. To think of all the addict's who would still be here today and probably CLEAN, had America followed our lead. Did you know that it cost more per homeless person in the US per year that if they were properly cared for with government housing?! It cost MORE to ignore the problem like the government in the US do. It's really shocking that they know this yet still continue to do nothing. People don't realise how much more it costs them to not help these people. I watched a documentary recently on homeless in America and that's when they stated the costs compared to assisting with basic housing and addiction meds. It's huge. The crime is so much lower in places when homeless people get social housing and government money and Medicare. I'm so sorry you're people suffer so badly there. I often speak to other addict's in the US and I don't know know how they do it. I'm constantly telling people here in Australia how lucky we are. I still don't think most people here on welfare understand how much better off we are. Addiction is an illness. It should be free for addicts to get treatment. At the very least their methadone for free and social housing. It comes back ten fold when you see how much less these people are on the street doing more crime so they are not sick.b

He was a single parent and went above and beyond more than he ever should have everyone told him that the only way was the tough love way but he never did, he would always say blood is thicker than water, he passed away 2 years ago now and he never got to see me get clean and the guilt and pain I now feel is crippling and if there was a way i could show someone that pain before they actually had to go through it then at least there would be one positive out of all the negativity.

I ended up being in treatment for almost 3 years because I knew I needed it.

Are you able to have a safe place to stay right now?? Is there anything I can do to help?? Please do not hesitate, I will not enable but I will go to the ends of the Earth for anyone who needs help and wants it.

Im so proud of her, I look up to her so much because of how strong she is. she encourages me to keep going and dont give up (i struggle with various mental and neurological issues), and i know that isnt even comparable to the horrible grasp addiction has, but her resilience and determination motivates me. anyone who is struggling with drugs right now, recovery IS possible. relapse will happen! its a part of the process, but it doesn't mean that you cant recover or are a faliure. i know im a rando in a comment section, but i am so proud of you for coming this far and i believe in you and love you

I can't agree with this. Oregon has very lenient drug laws that make it legal to carry a certain amount of any drug on you without it being illegal. My 16yo nephew passed away at a 20yo woman's apartment after she gave him weed laced with fentanyl. The police couldn't do anything because it wasn't illegal, dispite the fact my nephew thought he was only smoking weed given to him by someone he trusted. She did nothing for 45 minutes while he OD'd in the bathroom, until a friend of his went to check on him and tried to revive him with narcan and CPR until paramedics got there. That woman has had 11 ODs in her apartment, 2 resulting in deaths of minors, and the cops' hands are tied because of the stupid law. It protects dealers and junkies, it doesn't help. I was addicted to heroin from age 17 to age 20, I've been clean since 2005. If it were legal back then, I likely would not be alive today.

Hats off to this and many more mothers going through this. I’m a mother who has struggled going through with my daughter for approximately 18 years, I continue to try and that’s what a mother does if a mother gives up so will the world. I now say to her now I don’t have one care to care about but two. Her child has been removed from her care. 😢

Wow this mother is amazing and the way she treats her daughter Nd her boyfriend with respect and love will be what saves them one day! Punishment and cruelty don’t cure addiction. I wish the best for this family and hope they find peace and sobriety ❤️

It doesn't save them they don't care , until they want too it's when they loose everything when they do

The thing non addicts don't understand is you feel like you're dying in withdrawal. The drugs are literally like you're attached to a ball and chain. But if youre lucky enough to break the habit, it is the most freeing experience. There is hope for everyone.

I pray here in Jamaica for all addicts..... It is an illness like any other affliction that changes your health.
