Surviving the War, Losing to Addiction: A Soldier Story: Episode 21 | Addiction After Dark

#addiction #onthestreet #interview
Meet Kevin, a 34-year-old military veteran with a crippling addiction to opi@tes, fent*nyl, and crystal m*th. After serving two tours overseas and experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Kevin turned to dr*gs to escape the memories of his time in the military and the challenges he faced upon returning home.
Now living on the streets of Kensington, Philadelphia, he shares his chilling experiences of violence, robbery, and the daily struggle to survive while battling addiction. This powerful and eye-opening film sheds light on the dark reality many veterans face after returning home. Viewer discretion is advised.

Kevin seems like a guy with a good heart. Kensington’s brutal. I hope he finds his way out of there❤️ Kevin, if you’re reading comments, I believe in you🙏🏻..go get the house

[@user-ui4zz7mi5s]

I wish I could help all of these people .. this guy seems so sweet.. he’s not a bad looking guy either. I hope he finds his way.. I believe in you man.. I know you can get sober again. You deserve to be happy to man. Get off them streets. It’ll take some hard work but you can do it. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.

Support services should be in place for returning military. Its appalling how they are treated. Makes my blood boil. I do believe people like him really want to quit but its so damn tough !

They don't give two tihs about us once they use us for their political chess games. I believe they call us cannonfodder

[@justintime1307]

As someone who gor off drugs as a teenager and joined the army it breaks my heart to see or hear of so many vets who hit the drugs just to cope. Its up to everyome of us who served to protect and help our vets. Ao many are killing themselvs on the streets. Oir governments and military eat us up and spit us out without a care. I pray he fimds his path. One day that question will arise, "ia this all i want from my life"

[@samanthabusch750]

sweet soul i pray he gets the help he needs and succeeds in life God Bless him

[@bnielsss2715]

So fucking sad our veterans have no support when they come gome

[@babyyodasonic2166]

Absolutely disgusting that this country doesn't give a fuck about this man. This interview really got to me. Very very sad. I'm in recovery (former IV heroin user 6 yrs clean) and I know his pain. He isn't 100% ready yet. That's the only way. You have to be sick and tired of being sick and tired. Prayers for him.

Kensington is off the hook. Please be careful over there. I enjoyed the interview and i like the fact you interview guys too, its nice to hear their experience too. How can i contact you about into you into addicts and ex addicts in Cleveland. You will get some great content there. Take care and keep the videos coming, they are getting better and better. K

It's not like this is the "saddest" story I've seen/know about, but it really touched me, not sure if "Kevin" will ever read this comment, in case you do, although these are words and don't mean much as they are easy to write, "don't give up", the potential is clearly there as it can be observed from this simple interview you gave, so try again, even if you failed before, you will end up wining, this is a good example of life not being fair, but you'll make it a good example of how strong we can be and overcome the hardships put in front us when we decide to.

Come on Kevin get out of there you and Carolyn could have such a beautiful life together outside of drugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-tq7mf7wv7i]

Prayers for u

[@Londongirl77]

The financial/mental aftercare for US N UK Soldiers is the most disgusting.....

[@myzacky96]

What happened to him in the service?

[@Reesa23]

He didn't say, all he said was the transition from leaving the service to civillian life was too hard for him. I think they need to offer better services for ALL veterans that transfer out of the service if they want the services.
