Man I hear the disappointment and sadness in his voice. That must suck to go through. Seems like he’s dealing with it well though. Mad props my man!!

[@Trump.2024.]

I feel for Joshua so much because I was his parents at one point. Strung out on heroin and meth, living only to get high, hitting up my family for money all the fucking time, screwing them over multiple times. I’m so sorry you had to experience all that Joshua Edit: I’m proud to say I’m about to hit my 3yr sober milestone in November!

[@Revelation22_5]

Congrats man. I know I’m just some random guy on KZbin but I’m super proud of you or anyone that overcomes that stuff 👊

I was addicted to heroin from 1990 to 99 and some of the things I did to get Heroin was as low as it gets. I’ve stolen from family and friends robbed people burgled shops and factories shop lifted and ripped off loads drug dealers and I’m surprised I’m still here.

[@wlidbill5261]

yeah its fuckin hard man its the hardest fight you can in life its a drug and yourself you have to fight . Your evil side its a fight every damn day an if your on it long enough you will steal an rob with your broke . Look at other side You wont know till you try their shoes on .

[@haroonabassi1821]

as an ex meth addict there's a saying in A.A that goes we put people through things we would never put up with for ourselves. Now consider that fact of the matter with this guys parents. Bro I would've Hotline Miami'd my family if this was the circumstance. There better be a spot in heaven waiting for this guy and 3 in the other place for the other lot.

This is probably why his dad originally lost his job and house.

Kyle is very visibly upset... And I don't blame him, I'm pissed for ol' boy too.

[@austinpowers8550]

I was a heroin addict for 15yrs. I never thought I would choose drugs over family and I did every time I was sick and needed to use. It's literally the devil!

[@EternalLegionGaming]

What effects has it had on you even to this day from those 15 years?

[@howey935]

@@EternalLegionGaming I was addicted to heroin from 1990 to 1999 and the only long lasting effects I have is I had to spend nearly £20k on upper and lower dental implants because I totally fucked my teeth because all oral hygiene goes out the window when your an addict.

[@austinpowers8550]

@@EternalLegionGaming Now if I have to go to the doctor and have blood work they have to go in my neck cuz the veins everywhere else on my body are pretty much done. It gave me high blood pressure and really bad anxiety. I'm only 2 years sober and just turned 35, but my health test results makes it seem like I'm in my 50's. So its probably taken 15-20 years off my life.

[@austinpowers8550]

@@howey935 Um I wouldn't say that at all. Even when I was homeless I brushed my teeth man. What kind of savage doesn't care how their teeth look?

[@howey935]

@@austinpowers8550 i think you're the exception because first thing to go on heroin addicts is their hygiene. Theres no way youre going to shower brush your teeth etc when youre turkeying when u wake up. So id be out of bed clothes on and out looking to make money or score if i had money then id bang it straight into me for the journey hone home then as soon as im home have anotger dig and gouch out so youre doing nothing whilst in a drug induced gouch then when i cone out the gouch it starts all over again. I did brush my teeth but it wasnt morning and night i could go a couple of days without brushing. Im in my late 40s now and most the people i used to hang around with while using are either dead or clean and theyve all had to have extensive dental work because of neglecting their teeth.

[@johnhorner1969]

Was so sad when Kyle was trying to Adair him into a loving family environment. 😩😂😂😂

[@spartanspecialops7]

My family has had alot of problems with drugs and I had to also struggle with an abusive set of grandparents for the past 10 years. Drugs can absolutely just destroy families. It is something terrible to deal with.

[@joequixotic3039]

I have thought that the US should end the drug war for at least 15 years. If drug production was legalized and purity regulations are implemented a big time drug habit could be affordable on a minimum wage job (in some places where housing is cheap). It would make the decision for addicts to become a criminal or victimize their family and friends easy to avoid and also end the drug cartels and southern border problems (just finish the wall). We would save the money we are wasting and generate tax revenue also. The downside is a lost generation of drug addicts who are already lost.

[@EternalLegionGaming]

About the cartel part, they'll just move onto something else to make money. But if they aren't able to make money off the drugs, maybe it would be a good thing. That depends on what they would replace it with..

[@joequixotic3039]

@@Jake-bt3fc my point is the way to make it work is to destroy the black market with inexpensive quality drugs. Typically big pharma makes us pay through the nose but prescription quality opiates, speed and hallucinogens could be made at generic aspirin prices and marijuana should cost about as much as un-taxed tobacco cigarettes. If we could overcome greed once we can fix this.

[@sevenwhatuknow]

Thinking that a wall will stop an influx of drugs or anything money can be made off of is a foolish thought

[@joequixotic3039]

@@sevenwhatuknow thats why you have to make drugs cheap enough that there is no profit for the cartels to make. That leaves the only illegal drug markets scumbags selling drugs to minors. That's not enough money to make the risk worthwhile for a cartel, especially if there is a big fence to deal with also. The whole thing trades a huge problem and unenforceable laws for a small problem and enforceable laws (no sales to minors). The drug problem in this country should be like moonshine and highschoolers paying bums to buy beer for them. Not that big a deal.

[@tsaxbeats]

5:25 the miles probably came from renting the car to drug dealers.

[@Revelation22_5]

Is that a thing?

[@stephenlott6968]

@@Revelation22_5 VERY common. You'd be surprised how many dealers are just addicts who can do math, and have a good connect. Most I've met don't even own a car. And the more successful dealers who do own cars are paranoid about getting them seized. Cops automatically seize any vehicle used in commission of a felony, so they'll use customers cars and pay then in drugs. Costs the dealers very little and the addicts are usually happy to give up their car for a day or two if it means free drugs and the dope man likes them more.

[@robertcampbell3019]

​@@Revelation22_5makes sense if it is true

[@rztricky]

Fluke, the reality is very straight. You’ve endured a lot, and hopefully there will not be a recoil snap for you. If these emotional blade like things did actually pass through you with learning, awesome. If you’re still holding on to any of it work at getting all of it out because I can see you are a happy being if provided the right new varied, pleasant experiences. Don’t let the good new life be eroded by any of the bad energy vessels. They energy inside of them, or the soul, or whatever anyone wishes to call the force of life that is not the body, but gives the body advice, needs to give them that advice. No drug addict will choose clean unless they confront their spiritual enemy and energy riddle. Until their energy is advising your parents to experience clear life, you have full permission to avoid all of their energies.

[@tylervictor1065]

To give some inside info from an ex heroin and meth addict (I’m over 4 years clean now) I always preferred heroin, but it makes you sleepy so you do the meth to keep you awake. Pretty simple. Really sad to hear this guys story. I don’t know what I would do if I was in that situation.

[@austinpowers8550]

I was a heroin addict for 15yrs. For maybe the first 2 years it might make me nod out an be sleepy but the last 13 years was me just using to not be sick and feel normal so I could make it through the day and not want to shoot myself in the head cuz withdrawal is the worst thing in the world to go through. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I don't understand how you could use meth on top of it to wake you up. I would be pissed cuz it would take away from heroin feeling. I used to love when it made me tired and nod out. That was the best feeling I've ever had in my life and why it's so physically addictive. Don't get me wrong I've done speedballs with heroin and coke but even that didn't make me wake up it basically just made the heroin feel stronger cuz your brain releases twice as much dopamine cuz of the cocaine.

[@BigJay703]

Something about Joshua's disposition just seems so vulnerable. I don't know if it's an affectation that he puts on or if that is truly how he is. Anyone else pick up on that?

[@Xfacta12482]

You listen to what his family has done to him throughout his life? That effects you

[@BigJay703]

@@Xfacta12482 Yeah it does, I have a similar story. But not that much. To be clear- I don't trust this dude. He's dishonest about something. I don't know what, but he's carrying himself in a false way. If I had to guess I'd guess that he did something to his grandparents.

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

He seems like a little bitch honestly. Like everyone in his life has probably taken advantage of him, not just his parents. If his parents didn’t scam him out of money he would have lost it in some other way. His wallet seems like the equivalent of someone putting an entire bowl of Halloween candy on their porch with a sign that says “please take one”.
