She's a brave lady. Especially at her age still being homeless. And addicted. I was homeless and addicted in my 40s. Now I'm in my early 60s. 2007 I left the streets and never went back.15 years.and still going strong. Your a strong lady Katie.

Was homeless 14-16, 27-30 n now at 50+ our block owner n landlord have fallen out. So, looking at sleeping rough again. 🇬🇧 U.K. Massive immigration and little or no house building - we’re running out of space! (on this little island I call home). Homelessness for us women has different challenges than it does for the guys - not worse, not better, just different. She’s one brave lady. There but for the grace of God go I (n maybe u?). Strength, peace n love for you girls in grandma’s bodies who are going it alone 💋❤️‍🩹♥️

When fentanyl started showing up in heroin he said enough of this and went to a methadone clinic. He is now two years clean. I will tell you to get out while you can, you will get your kids back in your life and feel so much better. My prayers are that your safe.

[@billj4525]

It is hard. I was always able to quit crack, alcohol and pills pretty easily, but opiates were always harder for me because of the detox and the sheer enjoyment I used to get from them. The insane depression, anxiety and hopelessness on top of the horrible physical withdrawals made it super hard to quit. I moved and bought a house in Florida to quit methadone and fentanyl where I had no access, and forced myself through detox and have been clean for 6 years now. I have a wonderful life and family, and anyone else can quit as well including Katie.

@@juliadixon8465 Yeah, it's rare to be injecting hard drugs like these at those ages. This lady honestly looks 70s as well. Much harder on the body at that age, not to mention being weaker and more likely to OD and die. I agree with the person saying it's never too late to quit though, although it does get harder to quit the longer you have been using. She can still do it though, and if she quits and takes care of herself with exercise and eating right she will feel and look a lot better. If she can't detox she has to try suboxone or methadone.

[@SkybabyandStar]

Katie, what a lovely woman you are. Remember we all make bad decisions. I have made way too many but thru rehab and counseling I am finally starting to see that I am becoming friends with myself. It's very distant right now but I am praying in time we will become closer. It's been extremely hard for me because I have put myself way way down all my 52 years. I still do that but at the same time I am trying to fight it. I was told everytime I get down on the bad decisions I've made- to pick myself up and accept that the decisions have already made and I have no control over changing them. WE MUST NOT LOOK BACK AT THE PAST. WE ONLY CAN CHANGE WHAT WE DO HERE ON. Only the "little" people will judge you. They are the ones to be pitied. Your true friends will lift you up and encourage you. 5 years clean is awesome. You go girl !!! That proves what a strong person you are and your determination proved everything. I'm so proud of you. Don't let Satan put negative thoughts in your mind. When he does, stop and pray. Do that every time. I'm sending you so many hugs. I think you are a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your story. You can get clean again. We want you to be a part of the AML FAMILY. WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP YOU THINK OF POSITIVE THOUGHTS. YOU ARE IMPORTANT AND YOU ARE LOVED.

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Keep on doing what you’re doing, Lillian! You will. I used to think self love was a hokey story. Another way to insult us, saying, “Love yourself.” Like when people saw me on the streets and said, “At least I know who I am.” If you know you are lovable, count yourself lucky somebody told you! I finally got a treatment counselor from the real streets, who beat meth. She understood and loved us, til we couldn’t help but agree with her! Love does so much more to help than judging others. Now I know I’m not alone; there are many others like us! I was prescribed addictive drugs by a doctor. I knew my history, growing up in a family and neighborhood devastated by crack, and didn’t try them in the streets, even being out there, but the trauma catches up to the strongest of us. Drugs, abuse, and trauma are everywhere. We can stumble and fall, and get up even better and stronger! I guarantee that with the right knowledge and support, and time abstinent, you will find a greater high than drugs can ever give you, in the knowledge of your inner beauty and gifts. It’s so easy to see in others. Now that I see myself the same way, I’m finding comfort and meaning everywhere. I used to have triggers all day. Now I don’t know why I ever wanted to use drugs. What they had to offer was empty, all along. Time for your brain to heal, and G_d to work his wondrous ways makes it easier. I believe in you, and hope to hear from you throughout your journey. It’s not how many times you fall…if you can get up one time more. I got out at an older age, and have lived more, since, than in the whole of my experience. Much love 💗 to you and everyone in the struggle! AML Fam!

Much love Katie❤️ Although i’ve had the luck to never have been a sufferer of the disease of addiction I’ve lost more than one family member and friend to this awful painful plague😢Over the years I’ve educated myself on all the issues related to addiction and realised many things…..one being that some addictions are legal and tolerated in society some even seen as acceptable such as eating and shopping. The truth is that addiction is the problem, the only variable is the substance or behavior…..I have the chaotic impulse to shop and to hoard if I don’t keep in check…..the only difference between myself and a drug addict for real is the lack of effect on my physical health! We need more awareness on the disease which is ADDICTION worldwide 🙏

She’s so genuine, I’m 56 years old and I can’t imagine living this life… sorry Katie❤️

Praying for you Kate that you can get clean again. It's hard with shame and guilt but in time, being clean you learn to forgive yourself and others will too. It's a process as you know but I have faith you can do this. The AML Family is always here for you to reach out to. Stay safe beautiful. 💕🙏

Lori I love your comment. This video touched me deeply. The shame of it makes them feel so low and I will pray for her as well. It's okay Katie we're here not to judge but to tell you that we care ❤

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

It’s not our shame. It’s the ignorance of society. We can recover, and show them. If they don’t listen, they will have to learn the hard way when it’s them, or someone they love ❤️.

@@sciencenotstigma9534 I was talking about the shame and guilt when one relapses. Alot will continue using instead of letting someone know they slipped due to feeling guilt, shame, letting people down. Anyone getting clean, if you slip please reach out and tell someone that can help you through it. 💕

Oh Katie! What a bummer that you are going through shit like this. Hope you get better and it's never too late to start over again. I did it at 65. ......

So so sad. I have those same thoughts of things I did that I can't forget. I'm lucky my kids were small and do not remember and I've been able to repair those relationships and be better for them. It's never to late. Your kids love u 💗

Katie is such a Beautiful Soul like most Addicts that are suffering. And I truly believe addiction is shrouded in guilt and shame so heavy that it almost brings them to despair. And you really don't know how deep and heavy Guilt and Shame can take you until you are there. So we have no right to judge. Sincerely Praying for Katie and all the beautiful souls Lost out there to addiction. It truly hurts my heart. Because I have empathy. 💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏❤️

Thinking of you Katie and hoping you get help for your addiction.

A very truthful woman..I wish her well.

[@mistyg715]

Her & her story hit my ❤️

As a mother who has lost two sons to addiction, I too feel guilt. I look back on every moment of their childhood and see where I failed them. I understand the pain we feel as mothers no matter what, shame and guilt. I raised four on my own when my husband started using drugs I left. They were ten, eight, four and two. I did the best I could, I didn’t drink or use, I provided, I loved, I gave them what I could but I still feel shame and guilt. Please don’t let that stop you, your kids will embrace you when they see you did it for them. It might take awhile but what’s the alternative. I told my beautiful son James, your past is your greatest asset. It would have been if he’d pursued being a teacher, father and husband instead of putting it off until too late.
