Timbo is right. It feels amazing the way those Oxy's felt. I was making a lot of money in 2011 and I had to drown my stresses away and began using Oxy. I would have a Red Bull and Oxy and it felt great. When I woke up each morning I would be excited closer to the time of when I would take another. I caught myself same as Timbo did. Respect to all those that came out of drugs. Its a dark tunnel but in the end there is the light.

Sending my support to Timberland for his continual recovery.. My mother's pill addiction took her life when I was 11yrs old. This "so-called " opioid epidemic isn't new, my mother died in the 80's. Over prescribing pills and pill abuse is an old problem that was contained in certain communities to saturate them with pill clinics to obtain maximum destruction. To this day I have a fear of pain medication because of the damage I've witnessed it do to my family and neighbors growing up in Detroit.

[@jerrybear6440]

Sorry for your loss......

[@hbdhbd6611]

the "war on drugs" turned into the "opiod epidemic" when it started effecting white people period.

[@SAS-tn4zn]

This is why I am so afraid of those medications. I had a c-section in 2009 and was given oxycodone. I only took the medication while I was in the hospital because they gave it to me. I remember the nurse giving me my meds then I went to the ICU to see my twins who were born at 34 weeks. I was falling asleep while hold my 5 day old son. I said if this medication could make me feel like this after having my stomach cut open how do people feel when they are not in physical pain. I was so scared. When I went home I refused to take that medicine. I was in pain because of my surgery so I took motrin. I was way to scared of anything else because how it made me feel in the hospital. To anyone who is fighting an addiction I pray you win your fight.

[@jamesbelkin9204]

I hate Opioids. A few years ago I had lung surgery and rarely took them. The only time I willingly took them was when I was fresh out of surgery and the pain was too intense to go to sleep on my own. After that I was like nah I'll pass, the nurses were surprised, they said most people took advantage while they could, the nurses called them "frequent flyers" lol. When I was discharged from the hospital they gave me a prescription of Norco and I probably took 3 or 4 out of...30? I got rid of the rest.

Timbaland is a great producer. As he stated in the past. When Aaliyah died something within him died as well. I appreciate his transparency in this video. To still have a praying mother is a blessing. I'm glad to hear he overcame his addiction. God' agape love is everything. I was just listening to the instrumental of Aaliyah's: We Need A Resolution. I don't care what no one says. That beat is SICK! I was listening to it closely tonight and to hear the different instruments and his voice is sick. The..ch ch ch ha ha. (Jason) I'm done. To this day that song is my favorite Timbaland produced record. Timbo we need to hear beats like that. Not exactly like that. But, genuinely and creatively made like that. (Zeal) produced that track. Ignite that flame Timbaland. Ever considered gospel 🔥🙏💖
