Sije - How I Became a Drug Addict | Miami Homeless Drug Addict Interview

[@otherside305]

*Updated on August 13th, 2024* Hello everyone, I have an update on Sije from August 7th, 2024. I apologize for not writing this sooner, I fractured my elbow that same night and have been one-handed. Fracturing my elbow actually turned out to be a blessing. I was in the area looking for Sije and was unable to locate her. Until I fell and had to sit down for awhile and about 5 minutes later Sije biked right by me! We began talking about the video almost immediately. She was aware that it had over 1M views at this point and tons of positive comments. She told me that she is starting to feel hope that there might be enough help out there to change her situation. I assured her that if she is ready we can definitely help her get out of this. I told her the first step is treatment and asked her if she is ready to enter one. There is still some slight hesitation there. She mentioned hating the fact that she was wasting her 30's. I told her that it's never too late and that her story has already touched so many people and that her survival can make a huge difference in this world. I then went with her to where she was going to be spending the night, which was a vacant field under some trees (and before anyone asks why I didn't buy her a hotel room, this is where she wanted to stay). Prior to this I also offered to take her to get something to eat but she was not hungry at the moment and had something to eat in her bag. I did get her some pepper spray so she has something to defend herself with which I gave to her. I sat with her for an hour or so and just talked. She showed me her snail terrarium that she keeps with her which was really fascinating. Snails are her favorite animal. Eventually someone she knew from the area showed up who was going to stay there with her. Before leaving I gave her my number again and told her that I hope these will be the last times she will be on the streets and that I will continue to check in on her as time goes on and that I am here for her when she is ready. I also reminded her that she has friends and people who have connected with her story who want to help her as well. I can see that she wants to get out of her lifestyle and make a change. But that she is still conflicted. I will continue to encourage her when I see her and help her with what I can. She agreed to an update video in the future as well. In the meantime I left her with a disposable camera to take pictures with. Maybe we can do a video about her photos too. I will write another update as soon as I have one. Thank you all again for your positivity, encouragement and support. ---------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, I have two updates for those who are interested. The first being an update on CG (Sije), and the second being an update on a GoFundMe to help make a bigger difference. Update 1: First of all I want to thank you all for the overwhelming positivity and support for CG (Sije). I see many of you have connected with her story and want to help in some way. I saw her last night (July 13th, 2024) and spent about an hour with her. We went to Publix (local supermarket) to get her some food and other items she needed. After, we talked for awhile about the positive reception of her video and about her friends who reached out. This put a big smile on her face and she is very grateful to know so many people care. We then discussed her current situation. She was not ready to make a change at that time. I will continue to encourage her towards sobriety the best I can and to continue to help with meals, clothes and other things she may need when I see her. SHE DID RECEIVE THE RADIO which she was very excited about. She also agreed to an update video in the coming weeks. I will keep everyone updated! Update 2: I have launched a GoFundMe for the general mission of my channel. This is something that I have been hesitant on until I realized how many people want to help through the comments on this video. As of now everything that I do to help is funded from my full time day job. I go out on the weekends to meet people struggling and to catch up with others from my channel. During these trips I am usually purchasing multiple meals, clothes, medicines and other humanitarian items. I know many of you want a GoFundMe for CG specifically. The day she commits to treatment I will set that up to help her get on her feet. For now, you can write a message on your donation if you want to buy a meal or something for a specific person. I will allocate that donation to that purpose. All other donations to the overall channel mission will all go back to helping the people I meet. I may even upgrade my microphone if there is enough for that, I've seen some audio complaints. GoFundMe Link: gofund.me/ac62a8b9 If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions please respond to this comment and I will answer. My name is Eric and I am very grateful for all of you 🤍

[@icyflann7178]

@@ChillinwithJanel same. I hurt myself very badly for years and years... One day my boss asked me if I didnt love myself because he couldn't understand why I had relapsed and it really has stuck with me. It's not difficult to end up like CG is. Especially if you are an addict. I made a lot of money dancing and escorting so I was never homeless but close one time believe it or not. Earning probably like $100k - $120k.. that's how much was just going to drugs. I don't work in the adult industry anymore and earn about $80k at my job and I have a hell of a lot more money now than I had back then making more if that makes sense. When you are in drugs every last dollar goes to feed your addiction as I'm sure you're aware. It's just all so dark and am grateful to have gotten out. People like CG need to know that it's not something they just happens over night. Start by getting into a methadone clinic, if you don't have an ID/license that's the next step and things will just start to fall in place.

There's no shame in needing help, and the best help we can get is from turinging our life over to the Lord Jesus. I wish she could know this, and give Jesus a chance to lift her out of this life.

I am homeless in DFW area of Texas for 4 months for economic reason and home foreclosure. and medical events with my wife being disabled. I am on a 15 year waiting list for senior housing in n Texas and 12 years in NJ. I have two Master degrees and trade school training as a commercial driver. I work at night 🌉 n facilities at warehouse and sleep rough on the streets during the day. It will be years before I can get any housing. The way to survive is to avoid drugs and pursue skill training while you are on streets Being homeless will become a new reality for millions and we have to accept it as a way of life. Support one another, leave no trace of human activity, live a minalmist life style Greyhound it to different cities, learn flow arts and performance to fundraise with busking, take computer online programming courses, learn self defense, freegen for food, couch surf, carry 🌯 nd for self protection, support one another in your camp tribe, and again break free of the drugs and addictions. You can do exercise and yoga in your camp and climbing with ropes. The streets are our new way of 🧬 ving. Tent communities are the only way to skill share and protect each other.

She’s so well spoken, introspective and self-aware. Not something you normally see with people living this sort of life. She has such potential. I can’t wait for her to be ready to make a permanent change. She clearly has something special to offer - maybe a future youth counselor or social worker.

[@jyripeltola6677]

It's really not that rare, there have been several studies done about addiction and intelligence and all of them show that alcoholics and junkies have generally higher iq's, maybe its to quiet their minds for a moment. I'm a junkie have been since the age of 14 after a traumatic event. Ofcourse I've met quite a few idiot addicts too, but all my close friends who are users too are really bright, like well above avarage, but have made bad choises like me. But I'm drawn towards intelligent people, I hate it when some people just talk about drugs only, I like having other conversations with my friends and walk away thinking that I learned something new with every conversation.

I firmly believe that bipolar disorder, persistent depression and social anxiety leads to many types of addiction. I've only recently been treated for two of those disorders, I am 58 years old , I abused alcohol for 25 yrs, and am dry for 15 yrs. I was never homeless and am lucky to have one, but discovering late in life that those underlying disorders were there for as far back as I can remember, like 8 yo, has been devastating for me, I isolate myself from the world and suffer unmerciful bouts of depression. I am intelligent, reasonably articulate and I have qualifications to work a €150k per year career, but I can't get out of bed, my biggest need now is to try to cope with the diagnosis and lose the anger at such a late diagnosis. I'm on a lot of prescription medication but the loneliness and isolation is vicious., I pray that this young lady will get through some recovery programme 🙏🙏 Peace and love to all.... ❤️❤

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

Yes, I think there is a reason that this guy came and made a video of her. I think God is calling out for her. She’s definitely an empath and God could use her to heal others in many ways, and to lead them to him. He has a perfect plan for her. It only she knew that I was an addict too, and it wasn’t easy for 10 years I ran from God thinking somehow I could fix myself, but it just pushed me in a deeper depression Been to rehab that helped a little bit but what really helped was God he made the overall change. I just let go and let God and I know that sounds crazy but it’s true I was just obedient to him he told me to throw my stuff out and I did it, the minute I did I had this overwhelming sense of peace. I smiled on the way back from that dumpster and I said this is my day. Thank you, Lord.

[@jenniferornelas783]

@@godhelpsandfrees that is the only answer. Yes, some people go to rehab and get clean, which is good but God has a major plan for her life. She is so empathetic and sweet and even if she wasn’t, God has a major plan for her life something beyond her comprehension. Broke my heart to watch this video, a lot of people who suffered childhood trauma are mad at God and I get that. I was mad for years until I realized how understanding he was and how he wanted to help me the enemy wants to kill still and destroy. He is a liar. The day that I threw all that stuff out I mean I cleaned out all my drawers the next morning I got up to turn on the Bible study. I opened up my top drawer where I always kept my weed that I had already cleaned out to grab a notebook to take notes on the sermon and there was a big red bag of weed sitting right on top and there is no way that I missed it. I don’t care what anybody says it was not there before, and nobody put it there, it is unexplainable if you don’t believe in God or the devil. Like me I used to think I was so dirty and ugly on the inside and did so many bad things and all the people in the church were good people until I found out that most of people in the church are hurting on the inside. That’s why they see God not because they think they’re perfect. They’re being judgmental of people. I’ve never had anybody judge me in church I mean I know some people have had that experience, but my experience was some little ladies, picking me up off the ground when I collapsed in there and major withdrawals crying on my knees, begging for help.

I was in 10 years, broke my back while serving . Now I’m almost 50 unemployable because of 5 back surgeries. The memories come back when you don’t have a mission anymore. Luckily the Va have therapy for my ptsd and it has helped so much! That girl needs trauma therapy, to understand none of her past was her fault, she may have made unfortunate choices but it’s all tied to her past. Everyone has a hard history, but we need more awareness and help to get through the process of learning that what happened at 6 years old was done by or to, a six year old mind, not fully formed and unable to process logically what happened.

I was 5’ 98lbs blonde blue eyes and he seriously looked right through me, that’s when I learned that abuse is normalized from childhood to adulthood. Even in the military where I was the strongest I’d ever been, I could still be a victim. I was so brainwashed into thinking we were all a military family, brothers and sisters in arms.

I appreciate she was willing to do an interview and share her story

[@Mau66634]

Only Jesus could free this girl from this sad situation! Jesus came to seek what was lost!!

In Illinois if you are having mental health issues you can go to thorek hospital and tell them you can't be by yourself and you're thinking of self harm and ask them to put you in a nursing home. If they deny you go to another hospital like south shore hospital that used to be known as Norwegian and tell them you can't be by yourself you need a nursing home to live in like Lydia healthcare in Robbins Illinois or Albany care and tell them you don't feel safe by yourself and ask for Seroquel medication at bedtime

[@eytschmaen]

Thanks for sharing her story. She deserves to be seen and appreciated.

[@nicolaisnpain03]

This girl blows my mind with how incredibly deep and intelligent she is, and my heart breaks for her because addiction is a beast. I absolutely LOVED her description of Ayahuasca around minute 31- spot on, and I think it changes the course path of our lives … sometimes we can veer off, but grandmother can put you back on.. she knows and has the deep old soul wisdom, perhaps she will get another opportunity to find the medicine healing again & help others . Thank you for your interview with this beautiful human and I learned some very thoughtful questions to interview people suffering from addiction & traumas (I work in infectious diseases and care for many patients with infections related to substance use & addressing social inequities that likely contribute ) - my patients stories are very humbling & they are some of the deepest souls I have met …

[@shenbettridge976]

Dear CG (Sije), thank you very much for sharing so openly, and honestly. You are beautiful. Eloquent, intelligent and so courageous. Hope to see an update from you soon. And thank you, Eric, for being amazing. :)

[@Stacy-h4t]

Hi CG. I survive on Disability. I was homeless for 3 years in Colorado. I'm off the streets now, but somehow I survived it. I live in fear of being homeless again once in awhile, when I don't "comply". I hope people who are more financially stable than me can help you out and get you a place of your own. I see how much you're struggling. Thank God you allowed this guy to interview you. I've always shied away from being asked questions when I was homeless. I pray Jesus sends you all the right people who you can trust to help you in your journey. Love, Stacy

She does need to get on disability, and off drugs. It can be done.

She is a gift to this earth. So articulate and self-aware and able to express so many things and she has come through so much. Keep going girl. May you and others help you get to the beautiful place you deserve.

🌹🕊 " I ain't saying drugs are good. But when your past is past and your present sucks and your future holds nothing but broken promises and dead dreams, the drugs'll kill the pain. Listen up, America, you ain't ever gonna get rid of drugs until you cure pain." 🌹🕊 - Augustus Hill - OZ - 1997

[@Moises-xl1ft]

There is so much truth to this statement and most people that haven't lived the life or been really close to where they get an up close and personal view, truly don't realize it's not simply a drug addiction issue, and quitting the drugs is not the immediate fix. Lots of emotional and physical trauma come from simply living on the streets. It's one of the worst predator/prey situations humans deal, and it's not always street on street victimization. A lot of 'well to do' 'rightous' people see the desperation in this population and take full advantage.

[@otherside305]

So glad to now know this quote. It's so true.

Oh wow I love this 💯💯

Let me tell you this this life here is pain with a sprinkling of good and happyness every now and then .You have to learn to deal with it.

This unfortunate person's story is a perfect example of how the environment you live in can shape the outcome of your life.

[@willd6215]

Everything we think and do has been predetermined by what's come before. It's good to be aware of this as it allows for self forgiveness and a chance to make more informed choices

[@hififlipper]

She reminds me so badly on my sister, who passed away almost 25 years ago. She climbed on some train and catched the high voltage cable by accident. Glad to see Seje is alive, saving lives and a great human being. You can´t be homeless like this in Europe. America is a freaking and frustrating place. Hope it gets better some day, and Seje will do well and have new teeth to smile with. Thanks for the lovely interview and for showing us the other side.

[@superdani64]

My best friend died last year from a fentanyl overdose in Broward. He relapsed but managed to get clean but his body wasn't used to the drug anymore. He tried really hard to accomplish his dreams and it doesn't seem like he died to me. It's the weirdest thing. He was 23 years young. He died right before turning 24. He also battled homelessness but had a hustle mentality and was motivated to stay clean. I'm proud that he gave it his all. Stay blessed everybody. Take care.

[@user56gghtf]

🥺😢♥️🧸

[@seaglin]

An excellent job with the interview. Thank you. I've been homeless, addicted and on the streets many years ago and not far from Miami at the time. I pretty much have everything that I need now. And yet I envy CG. She still has so much more than most of us somehow. She has wisdom, experience, intelligence, a nice connection to the spiritual realm, and a beautiful soul.

[@rumilgaifullin7432]

She’s such a gem. I really hope she finds inner strength and help to overcome her predicament.

[@melindatse5405]

Sije, you deserve a home and to be surrounded by people who love and support you. You’re beautiful, kind, intelligent, articulate and sensitive-a real treasure! Please consider letting people help you into the safe, happy and healthy life you so richly deserve! I’ll be holding you in my heart and prayers. 🙏💓

[@miranana1]

I can relate to her social anxiety so much! She’s is an angle, but mean people took her light. You can still shine. Please have faith in yourself 🙏❤️

[@Rugmunchersauce3]

An angle? Like 45°...I reckon that's a good angle. I hope she finds an even better angle though. I hope she gets better. I wish I could help her.

[@miranana1]

@@Rugmunchersauce3 i meant angel lol

[@user56gghtf]

I agree. The evil people of this world try to put out the light of those that shine. You can still see the glow in her. With God all things are possible. He hasn't given up on her. I hope she finds that out before it's to late.

[@R.W.Phoenix]

[@michaelanthony279]

I love what you’re doing, Eric. Simply by being seen and heard, I believe these people are helped.

[@Jubilee123.]

I also can’t get over how well spoken you are even with drugs in your system. You are clearly very intelligent. You are a child of God. He wants you healthy and happy. I pray you will want that for yourself. ❤️

[@annalee5791]

Wow, this is so heartbreaking. She is so young, and you can clearly tell she has so much potential. Very intelligent woman. I hope the best for her and pray that she finds the strength to pull herself out of this situation. I can relate to all the anxiety issues she spoke of and mental stress that people bring on. This world isn't an easy place. It's very heartwarming to know there are people out there who care and want to help. It's great that you're doing these interviews and helping people this way. ❤ Best to her.

[@aleciarutledge8493]

She is so smart! This poor soul has been through a lot. I am so hopeful she continues to thrive.

[@gabrielladots5990]

Wonderful interview ❤ giving her a room in a place where she can go and feel safe is a good start. With zero rules or expectations. She is afraid that people and restrictions will make her life worse.

[@piper_lori-williams-tudhope]

I’m from Boynton Beach. What a beautiful lady. Beautiful soul! I’m praying for you 🙏🏽 I just found this channel. Thanks for giving these souls a voice. Truly humbled 🥹

[@Roxana_Official]

Instead praying, go there and give her some money. Praying is useless ok?

[@Dan-xh1ci]

Best interview, ever. The most down to earth, and sweet girl. Smart and articulate. I hope you gets well and has an awesome life. We’re all rooting for you.

[@anthonykelley368]

CG is a very special soul and has a different level of spirituality and consciousness...People like her are very rare and for her to have those gifts and be in her current environment, I really hope that she can get the help she needs and deserves...I can speak from experience that those special gifts will be slowly killed off with drug/pharmaceutical use and they don't come back at all...Once they're gone, they're gone permanently and it changes what your natural self is and its all downhill from there...Everyone deserves to have a good and healthy life, but the one's with special gifts really needs to realize how special that is and how big of an impact they have on human society and our advancement as a species...I want you to make it CG...🤗

[@marinat187]

I do not know why , but I have a strong feeling that she will overcome.

[@julielathan3823]

Please pass this message on to Jessie for me Eric... Jessie, you already know this, but you are a beautiful person. Even in your difficulties, you show such love for others. Because you have a beautiful soul, even the drugs can not dim your light. You said yourself that you are not like some of the other people on the street, and you are right. You know what is inside you. You know you are special, you know who you are. Please think about how you can move your life forward, in a manner that does not cause you anxiety. Imagine yourself in a place where you can live and work in nature, possibly, where you can work with animals, in a situation where you don't have to interract with too many people, in a situation where you feel that you can breathe, where you can feel nature all around you, where you can feel free. If you can believe in this and feel that it is possible, then maybe, just maybe, that strength that you need, will come to you. That strength that can say " I can do this". You must have seen that so many people are rooting for you. People are raising money for you on go fund me, and the wonderful man who interviewed you, Eric, has your back. There are people out there who want to help you. There are places you can go that will not make you anxious. There are jobs that you can do, to take care of other people or animals that will fill your heart with love and meaning, and you have clearly demonstrated that you care deeply about the needs of others. Dont give up Jessie, just because of the anxiety. Work out what you CAN do - that won't make you feel anxious and then see if that makes a difference to how you are feeling about going into treatment. Everyone needs to have a purpose in life. Everyone needs to feel as if they are relevant to something or somebody. You, Jessie, have shown me, that your beautiful soul is aching to spread more love in the world. You have already saved 9 lives. Even in the depths of your difficulties, you have shown what a beautiful person you are. Nothing can hide that Jessie, it is written all over you. It is up to you now, to believe in who you are, to love yourself, and to believe in everyone out here who is rooting for you, and waiting for your light to shine even brighter than it already is. May all the love in the world, come to you, and may all of your love, shine out from you to help those around you. With much love to a girl who moved my heart and touched my soul. Julie

Just seeing your content for the first time. As a therapist, I want to let you know you're extremely empathic and kind. You treat her as a human being and with so much compassion. Great work!

[@jeffreyjoseph9769]

As a Community Policing Officer in Miami Beach, FL I would interact with young, homeless addicts often. I always tried to keep interactions positive and find a long-term solution for them and the community I served. I found the more intelligent the homeless addict was, the more they rationalized self-destructive behaviors. I also found the homeless addict stage to be terminal in one way or another. I created partnerships with street outreach groups and took them to where homeless addicts lived but even they could do nothing for them. I repeatedly saw their destiny was either long-term imprisonment or death. People who really want to help should focus on prevention before it's too late.

[@zarni000]

"I found the more intelligent the homeless addict was, the more they rationalized self-destructive behaviors" that's the case even if you are not homeless. more intelligent people tend to be the ones who are more depressed. the dumber you are the less things to be depressed about.

[@christinemoore6911]

The problem is the drugs are so addictive they are impossible to get off without real determination and extensive support

[@johnd5508]

I feel so terrible for CG. If I lived in Miami Florida I would like to help her by at the very least providing her with a good nutritious meal as well as some essential necessities she might need. She seems like such a beautiful and intelligent young woman. I hope and pray CG stays safe and will soon find the strength to overcome her illness. I will pray for her. May the Lord bless, guide and protect her.

I’m almost her age. When I was a child I was very shy and not social in the Broward County school system. I’m very similar with being anti-social, down to earth and loving animals. My environmental surroundings made me so alert of danger. Her soul is like a sacred animal.
