thankyou in advance 💋

[@rozzzqween]

I haven’t touched my drug of choice for just over five months 😭... please send prayers.

[@d.biancaklinglesmith6932]

Amen Amen Amen Her talking for the 8 minutes or so while in her office resonated with my soul! Cocaine. Is. The. Devil. AND yes, I know functioning addicts are the worse and YES I KNOW that it wrecks lives something vicious. I also know, the guilt she speaks of and how it tears and eats at you mentally and emotionally all the while the pow is doing that very same thing, just physically 😒😒😔😔🤫🤫

[@leahmichelle505]

Seven small months for me and it's a struggle but I am so very happy!!!

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

I think her issues run deeper than the drugs. I think they go all the way back to her childhood.

[@Mauriciflow]

I always think about her saying things like: “I was big fat girl, right daddy?” to her parents on the show. My family also fat shamed me and it messes with you so much. I’m 24 and still feel ambivalent about my body. I can only imagine how much pain Wendy is in, even now. I sincerely hope she’s able to bounce back health-wise from her most recent challenges. 💔

[@lalo-bh5kh]

it usually does

[@Meds1000MD]

Man this hits different in 2024

[@poisondoll13]

The way you edited this to show that Wendy said all those years ago that she'd never go back to addiction, not even if her marriage broke down, and then to see in the next clip her talking about living in the sober house breaks my heart and brought tears to my eyes. She's had a hell of a ride these last few years. Sending love and prayers to Aunt Wendy and all of those in the battle against themselves. Remember that you are loved and things will get better.

[@user-cg3vr1dd2q]

Did she actually take drugs tho or did she go to the sober house as a precaution? I think she was drinking but not sure about coke

[@kman5178]

I believe she just went for alcoholism not for coke....

[@LA-gh3mi]

Addiction doesn't discriminate...it takes hold of anyone. Normally always takes strong, Intelligent and creative people.

[@CuriousLindZ]

💯 not race not class not gender not sexualty n ppl have that so fuked up!!!

[@Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Thanks for saying this

[@dwmusic147]

Thank you Wendy for always bringing awareness to addictions.

[@kd4612]

It’s such a blessing that there’s so much documentation of her being so honest and truthful. It touches souls and is a real legacy.

[@brokeandnamelessnyc]

I come back to this vid often to help me. I recently started making more money while still having a substantial amount of time to myself so I feel that old feeling resurfacing. If you’re an addict you know that money and idle time is bad combo. This vid reminds me to stay strong.

This hits different now.. 😥

[@alexander_reichmann]

Wendy is really inspiring. Makes me think I have a power to solve out my problems. I've been struggling with drugs addiction for more than a half of my life. Started at 14 with benzos, went through all the different stuff, spending all my money for this sh!t, so I never had any savings, making excuses for myself. Three times overdosed that much, they had to bring me back to being alive. Had to stop my career as a pro tennis player. Now I'm 30 and I feel like I'm close to being done with it for good. Wendy, you're doing a good job. Thank you for adequately addressing this message and telling how it is.

[@nicolemarie9875]

@@cellyspeaks1062 Thank you 💕 it means a lot.

[@Ms.Tamara_]

Don’t give up, please continue to fight. It’s hard but very much worth it to make it out of that dark place and to have life back. I went down the same road as you, but today I’m close to 2 years clean. As u know, it’s far from easy . Lost pretty much everything and had to start all over. Never thought I would be employed full time , living on my own again in a beautiful house and slowly but surely picking up the pieces. I’m grateful everyday for just the simple things in life. I wish u the best , and it can be done!!!

[@mykioto]

She invaded people's privacy but probably saved some life's on the way. Wendy is a real one.

Its funny that people are like "share your own business blah blah" - when shes always been candid about her experiences. I love me some Wendy. Love her down 🙏🌼

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

There are so many rumors out about her right now. I just hope she pulls through this difficult time.

[@meganbee.]

I love her transparency and honesty even though she’s made it so big. Love you Aunt Wendy❤️!

[@nichellehenry4815]

My opinion Wendy Williams is brave to come out & talk about her addiction & I commend her & again I love her for being fierce

[@livethroughthis3863]

Notice when she tells her story about cocaine/crack there’s a story about Whitney Houston in-front of her Whitney’s passing really had an effect on her because she knows it could of been her. 💗

[@Sweeettt.Caroline]

This is actually really sad! I pray for everyone’s recovery. If you need a sign this is it, please get help!

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

I'll never understand why some drug addicts or ex drug addicts get more hate than others. People will turn a blind eye to male rappers doing hard drugs but people like Wendy and Whitney get dragged through the mud. I'm starting to think it's a sex issue.

[@paradisedreamxo]

Dillon, I see how much work you put into these for your subscribers. Thank you!

[@fransjudeasamosir]

GOD BLESS HER . I LOVE WENDY. SHE SHOWED ME AUTHENTICITY

[@radius-cubitus]

Have been reprimanded by my family during the Holidays my past addiction and I am very grateful to stumble upon Wendy's story. I'm still going back and forth mentally on starting again or maintaining sobriety and Wendy powerfully struck. Thank you

[@jcre6663]

As a fellow addict I could tell she was struggling. I’m so happy she is getting help. It’s a day to day battle & if she opened the door to opiates (I know her DOC was coke before) than it will be even more difficult than anyone can imagine. I fight day by day to stay away from heroin. It robs you of your soul, dignity, & dreams. I’m still putting the pieces of my life back together and every once in awhile I fall back but I won’t ever let this kill me. Thank you Wendy for helping remove some of the stigma & thank you Dillon for putting this together. People need to know they aren’t alone so we can stop suffering in silence. God bless...

[@d.biancaklinglesmith6932]

[@jcre6663]

Bianca it’s a vicious circle ⭕️. You clean up and the guilt of the things you did or did not do is so overwhelming that you relapse. I know the struggle and God is the only reason I’m still here. Stay strong and so will I. God bless...

They are still people. Humans

[@Benyikoko]

Currently watching this while under the influence of my drug of choice. Been to rehab 4 times, since 2018. I love my drug so much but I hate it .. but I am so depressed because of it. It's horrible. Sometimes I rather just die. Why go to rehab again when I failed 4 times before

[@skurinski]

its because you're not totally ready i guess. You need to be actually wanting it to drop it, and see it as the devil that it is. You're not there yet. Plus you need to get rid of everyone that enables you. Are you religious? You have hobbies? Try to find positive people to influence you, actual positive people, not ones who pat you on the back, or on youtube give you PC speeches and bad advice.

[@morelikejesus07]

Stuff like this is what makes people love wendy

[@niseynisey]

You are one of the hardest working people on KZbin. Job well done.

[@alexisworst2568]

I'm so glad I found your channel thanks to this video here!! I've always liked Wendy but her honest coverage of her addiction and relapse and time in a sober home have me falling in love with her! I'm a sober woman, I feel her struggle! Everything she says regarding the subject is 100!!! And God bless her for it!!🙏 and God bless you for sharing this wonderful !message!! #soberwomanclub

[@jordansthoughts54]

thanks for having all of these Wendy clips. sad that her videos are gone!!

[@nicolasandrebeau]

While I was watching this, I wasn't crying - I was just really misty. The topic, the editing, the stories from the other people included in this video and finally, Wendy - all that hit a little close to home. I love you Wendy and I understand you completely!

This was great to watch n very positive to see. I’m in recovery and next month will be 2 years clean for me. I still don’t believe I let myself go to that dark place n I often have to remind myself that addiction can affect anyone. We never know who may be dealing with this monster, and my experience has given me such a different humbleness n appreciation for life. My heart goes out Wendy and I pray she wins her battle.

[@ttp436]

It's crazy the periods of denial addiction brings. Personally if you have an addictive personality you need to stay clear of anything that alters your already altered mind. Point blank & period. It's hell. But worth it. Clean living only. An addiction is not only genetic a big factor is what you have experienced from birth to adulthood. It's very difficult to get well when you are in a toxic environment. The struggle is real hard, never ending until your day's end. There are bad periods but there are also great amazing fantastic periods in this beautiful life and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. People that say if I could go back I'd it all again! Bullshit! That's still denial. No one in their right mind would go back and do it all again. They'd do it different. And live their best life possible. Do it now people.

Yet ANOTHER reason I love Wendy. We have the same way of feeling about having NO REGRETS about the stupidest/deadliest crap we've done(TO ourselves and our family/loved ones). It made us who we are today. Would I have done it differently- if I had to do it again? SURELY WOULD. But no "regrets"- never!!

[@harrisnina6448]

thank you for sharing your candidness here, Wendy. PRAYING FOR YOU AS YOU ENDURE YOUR STRUGGLE W/ DIVORCE and all it entails - strain on emotions, mind, spirit. Wendy, you could be menopausing as well which is normal for women in fifties of age. menopause can make one excessively emotional, sensitive and quick to cry. mine was a breeze, i prayed to God, The Creator of human anatomy therefore He understands its workings. i was happy to relieve my life of menses; i had no hot flashes, mood swings, etc. it just went and 'flow' stopped! THANK YOU, LORD GOD JESUS! people, be compassionate for Wendy and offer up PRAYERS!

What are y'all thoughts on wendys recent truths? Im thinking maybe the pills opened a new addiction since she has been clean of coke for like over 20 years now.

[@princesscarolyn5716]

I love her and I hope she gets the therapy and treatment she needs.

[@diontenelson1116]

Trying. Take it down a notch is a hard process cuz you realize you can still do it. "Sometimes "

[@ceebiemarx]

Btw, when she's ready to talk about this, we'll be ready to listen. I think until then, though, we should really respect her privacy. This is some real ass shit she's obviously going through rn. We love you Aunt Wendy. 💜💜💜
