Recovered Crack Addict interview-Wayne

[@reyrodriguez1005]

I’ve always been a good guy, I just made bad decisions 👌🏽 I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so proud of someone that I don’t even know. Stay Focused, Sir!

[@nasgoat2345]

drug addicts are the best manipulators. I have people in my family that can tell you a great story or the best version of their story. Drug addicts tend to be pieces of shit. With that being said i hope the best out there for people struggling. In my experience these people have a plethora of mental problems along with addiction.

[@ravenjohnson1344]

Same ❤ I loved hearing him say those words. I love seeing him feeling good about himself and the hard work he has put in to turn it around. Keep going ❤️

[@Dpurple28]

Maybe the drug addicts in your family were piece of shit but not all drug addicts are pieces of shit. They are some of the kindest sensitive and caring people that are just struggling.

[@suenelan267]

Pp absolutely! p absolutely! A lot of them have a huge heart. People are way too judgmental​@@Dpurple28

[@comaxpilot666]

im pausing at about 6 minutes with tears in my eyes. i went from 0-100 real quick in my early 20s, straight to heroin, straight to the needle, all the way to rock bottom. the cars lost, the jobs lost, the friendships lost, the family lost, the stealing, the pawning, walking the sidewalk in the hood at 3am, the overdoses... the friends dying in front of me. it was only a few years. but it's changed me forever. i went rehab. i made some progress. i made a lot of progress, really. but then i started drinking, and i found myself disgusting within the next couple years. my yes's are no longer necessarily yes's, and my no's aren't necessarily no's. and that does create a fucking crime scene in my head, and it's not who i want to be. i'm 2 days sober. congratulations on your success.

[@raslalique]

Cheering you along my brother!

[@dawngodschild5522]

Nick don’t ever give up, you are worth it. I’ve only been addicted to crack (for hard drugs) but Jesus saved me then - got pregnant and quit - although it still took me years later, I was using weed and alcohol and when I met Him and was completely set free 🙌. Wayne said it didn’t he, Satan wants us to keep that crime scene in our minds. We are not the addiction or things we did while in it. I pray you find peace and freedom🙏🙏

[@invan99999]

RIP to my good friend who died two days ago. He was a fentanyl addict. He told me about this channel and how it helped him cope with this demon that is addiction. Sadly he lost the battle. I am a drug addict myself(coke) and never gave this channel a chance. But wow the stories you hear here are truly inspirational. I made a promise to myself that I will get sober and surely D's death and these videos will help me massively. These interviews give me a good insight into what heavy drug abuse leads to. Thank you Mark for everything

[@jaccaj1626]

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. You can defeat your demons. Please believe in and love yourself. You deserve it. You have the power and the strength to have a better life.

[@edpick5287]

My good life long friend Daryl’s death anniversary was 3 days ago. He drank himself to death at the age of 30... he’s walked w/ me since the day he left earth. Whenever I go skating or listen to a band he loved I remind myself that I continue to do these things, in part, because he can’t any longer... I hope you find your way sinister

[@107g]

I'm on the samethang brother and it's so hard bro these videos does help and how long have u been on it and what other ways do you cope with this because I need more ways bro because he doesn't have alot of videos with people on coke🙏

Dear Wayne, I couldn’t figure out why I kept starting to cry listening to your story. It was the similarity of mercy that God showed to you, that He has shown to me. You know the same Jesus as I do! He is the great I Am. I love your attitude and spirit!

When I first woke up this morning, Christmas Morning 2022, I saw the title of "Recovered Crack addict...." and I thought "ohhhhhhh, no I'm not sure I can start my day with That"...

🥲🥲I'm so proud of this man. My dad was a Vietnam vet and was a functioning addict for many many years until it finally caught up with him. It wasn't until he died that I was told some of the things he experienced in war. Before he died though he had clean time and he committed his life to Christ before he died which was his greatest accomplishment. Much continue success sir. I took know how hard it is to get clean on a personal note. Just graduated drug court a few weeks ago. All praises to JC

What an incredible story of hope and transformation. It's striking how different he appears in this video compared to the last- before he was at the start of his journey, and now he's further along and is beaming and full of gratitude and can appreciate all the small things in his life, the overcoming of adversity. Change is possible.

[@nakiaboyr6196]

"The mind is a crime scene." - Wayne What a truthful quote coming from an ex addict myself. I can truly relate. Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Many might say "that says heart!" But to a Hebrew the heart is the mind. Hebrews 4:12 Mark keep doing these happy ending stories.

As you have with many of the viewers here, you give me just the light that I need. I have struggled greatly this past decade. I have had severe medical and mental issues, financial issues, issues with drug abuse...just about anything you could imagine. Just as I am sitting here watching SWU, I realized (with your suggestion) that I could 'speak into existence' whatever it is I want to change...like right now I could do that! Ive been thinking that I am going to change in a week, a year, New Years etc. Today I am putting away the old broken me and speaking the new me into existence today...now! Thank you for all of the wonderful comments and advice. You are phenomenal.
