@@BrittanyJade Hello Brittany, I am a recovering addict and I have six kids with my wife of 21 years. My wife has never used any drugs nor has she ever been addicted. She calls me a narcissist, I try to explain that there is a distinction between the actions of a narcissist and an addict. I appeared selfish when in reality I was scared of being sick so I did what I had to. I lied to get to my drugs there was gas lighting. Sober its not like that, I've lost my soulmate, I'm the boy who cried wolf. She has gone to Al-ANON and yet I feel like she doesn't empathize, she thinks it's a simple choice to say no and assumes I enjoy being an addict. Please help me explain if you can.

The saying,” I don’t look like what I’ve been through,” is what I was thinking while listening to your story. You’re such a beautiful and strong soul. Addiction brings out behaviors that we could never imagine possible. But by the grace of recovery we overcome and make positive changes. Thank you for sharing your story 💜 I’m a new subscriber

[@summerw1919]

This is the most powerful recovery story I have watched. Currently going through detox myself from a 2 year opiate prescription. It’s kicking my butt but your video just moved me in such a way I can’t explain. Thank you so much for sharing and GOD BLESS YOU and your family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@charisserandazzo8786]

Thank Younfor sharing this video , I am a mom of a 32 year old addict. I can't even believe I'm saying it. She has two beautiful daughters that she lost due to a CPS matter with drugs. So they are with their dad, but we all help. She is god knows where right now.... so I picked up my tablet and found you. There is a reason for everything. I'm just pray and cry and hope every minute that she will go to treatment. I tried taking her one day and she sat for 5 minutes and ran out the door. Scared. Still using crack. I'm scared and feel sick every day. 🙏🏼 Thank you .for sharing.

So proud of you congratulations🥰🙌🏽

[@Globelle]

I got hooked on pills even though the first times I took them were through my doctor's. I remember that not only did my physical pain immediately subside but I also felt this euphoric burst of energy. I was basically in cycle of on and off addiction for probably 20 years. My older sister was a major alcoholic and abused Adderall but would judge me over my addiction. Her reasoning was that pain pills made her sleepy and nauseated. I remember wishing that were the case for me. Opiods are NO JOKE to come off of and stay off of. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story. I will be 50 in July. My 27 yr old daughter abhors any kind of drug (probably because of watching my addiction.) My 22 yr old son smokes weed non stop and I worry so much. I know he has tried cocaine, ecstasy and LSD. I try to explain that Fentanyl is EVERYWHERE. We know so many who have died thinking they were smoking Marijuana, doing cocaine, taking a xanax etc. I can't imagine being a teenager or college student in this day and age. NOTHING IS SAFE. I LOVE your beautiful baby!!! I was also a functional addict..

[@bestiefswlady5251]

Agreed! Best wishes to you. Many people don’t understand that to some of us opiate pills give the same energy high that for them would feel something like cocaine…it’s SO strange how it varies that much.

[@palladium607]

@bestiefswlady5251 yep that's what it does to me too! Always has. I get a ton of energy.

[@Vanquish12V]

Hello lovely lady. This is the first video I have watched of yours, and I just wanted to say GO YOU GOOD THING! Thank you for sharing your story so honesty. I do not struggle with addition, but learning about it not only helps me have compassion for those who struggle with this disease, but the cycle is pervasive in so may mental health struggles and it resonates deeply with me. What I am about to say may not be helpful for some. But if you are struggling, this is what I say to myself, and if this resonates with you please say it to yourself as I say it to myself: “Hey, you are struggling right now, and that’s okay. This is just where you are right now. Don’t give up. Even if you have a bad day, tomorrow is another day to try again. Failure only happens if you fail to learn. Keep faith in yourself. You can’t change the world, but you can change you. The beauty about being the problem is that the only person that you CAN change is yourself! That’s the beauty of it! And you know what? If Brittany can be sober in her battle, there is hope for me too. Lean on other’s strength and struggles. Seek their wisdom. You’ve got this! 🖤”

[@mads855]

Just finished the video 💕 love you Brittany, you are an inspiration to many and I'm happy I met you. I teared up and felt the Holy Spirit when I realized that your 1 year sober was on Nova's due date/birthday. Congratulations!

[@vickya4403]

Hi Brittany, just came across from your other channel. Loved your story, and just what I needed to hear. I got sober on my daughters 13th birthday so for the past 23 years May 6 has been a special day for us. I think that God may have directed me to this video as I have'nt been to a meeting for about 18 months so plan to get to one in the next day or two. Thank you.!!!

[@jenniferdreves823]

4 years is a Miracle! That is so awesome! We do Recover!

[@19dresses]

Thank you for sharing your story! ❤ Your story is very similar to mine & I am so happy for you that you were able to turn your life around. I really appreciate you emphasizing the fact that there are functioning addicts. People didn't believe I had been addicted for years because I held my job and continued to live "normally". I have 436 days clean today from pills/fentanyl, and like you said my life now is a miracle. I am trying to help others with substance abuse disorder, and just want to thank my sober sister for all your strength in sharing your story and inspiring people like me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rockbay79]

I have such respect for what you are sharing. I was a "Functional Alcoholic" for 35 years of my life. Worked everyday and mostly drank on the weekends. I gave it up in September 2013. I has been 8 years of clean living. During my life I became addictive to three different drugs and have quit them all. They were Cigarettes, Alcohol and Valium. All were difficult to detox from. I'm much more happy living drug-free and I'm a better person as well. Again, thanks for sharing your story. We must try to help each other when we can. Take care, you are a very special person.

That's amazing I love hearing recovery story's. You are a very strong person. People need to hear more about this especially the ones that say this was a choice. When it is sooo not a choice. I have been clean since November 2015 from drugs and alcohol. And it's one of the best/hardest things I have ever done. I grew up in a normal loving home as well and never wanted for anything. This can happen to anyone, but you can also beat this and become stronger then the hold/disease drugs and alcohol have on you. Thank you for sharing your story. Keep up your great life you have created for yourself due to being so strong.

[@sugarpie9492]

4 years is awesome. But it's a grind. Every single day. I have 33 years and it goes in chapters and different phases. That's the beauty of it. Recovery from addiction is lifelong journey. Until the day you die. I LOVE being clean and sober. The rewards are many and life altering. My dad committed suicide when I was 29 and I drank very heavily for 2 years to deal with the pain of his death. And so I quit at age 31 because I became a nasty, mean blackout drunk, and no one wanted to talk to me anymore. I still go to AA meetings. And I don't let my addict voice yak at me anymore. I literally laugh at it and tell it out loud to go bother some other fool who hasn't figured it all out yet." Which is that your "addict voice" only has ONE job in life. To get you to relapse. That's IT. It has no other purpose. And will trick you however it can. Anyway, thank you for telling your story. And I see this video is from 3 years ago? So I'm hoping that you have 7 years now. 🤗 And I was an athlete and a cheerleader too. But I have the genetic DNA family predisposition to addiction in my background. So it was just a matter of time. I never drank like a normal person does. I remember when they prescribed me some Tylenol #3's at age 12 for a set of stitches in my knee. I could feel the opiate rush cursing through my veins. I didn't know what it was, but my addict brain recognized it. And suddenly all my anxiety went away and Gilligan's Island seemed much brighter. But nobody knew anything about addiction back then in 1969 when it occurred. Not what they know about it now. But mostly I was a bartender at Washington State University in the 70's & 80's to pay my way through school, and it was party central!! I was the fun cheerleader drunk! But eventually became the bitch that everybody hates because they won't shut up or listen to anyone. 😛
