I'm the same age as him, and I've had addiction issues for around 20 years. It's a crazy hard process. I recently quit drinking. I find myself wondering who I even am without the substances. I'm completely rewiring my brain. This is the stage where a lot of people relapse because you feel lost and apathetic...grumpy. My brother passed away recently from his addictions, and I just need to live differently now, and no going back.

I held a lot of resentment for my mother’s addiction and father’s drinking while I was alive, but now I realize that I wish I was just more supportive of her and her attempts at finding peace in a world where death is imminent.

if there is a crime involved, they should either go through rehab or mental treatments while they’re IN the facility, or they should be recommended to rehab facilities after they’re released from jail or prison on a probation contract for like…3-6 weeks or something. even if they don’t want it, i think it would be really beneficial for them. at least they would be hearing it so they can think back to what they learned while they went through the treatment if they ever feel like quitting. or maybe if they haven’t started again already, they could think about what they learned if they have feelings of wanting to relapse. i really don’t know how to go about it but i just wish they could all get the help they all truly deserve.

Addiction needs to be de-stigmatised, and also drugs in general. But as long as we're criminalising drug use in most if the world still, addiction is gonna be tied to a stigma and seeking help and getting clean is hard, like the bar is higher than it needs to be. Most of the times it seems like there's an underlying mental health problem that's fueling the desire to get high and continuous arrests don't help that problem. Sometimes we need to protect others from some addicts if they get violent but most addicts aren't even visible to the outside world. It's really sad how this is still something we're dealing with in a way that needs miles of improvement

@@belivuk2526 correct me if I'm wrong, but de-criminalising often doesn't mean that the behaviour becomes legal - lemme explain. Where I live, they recently decriminalized prostitution to promote people stuck in those cycles reaching out to authorities, but pimping is still illegal. It's only for the people doing the job, but providing them with that in the first place is still a crime (and frankly, the part that causes the problem). So decriminalizing addicts doesn't mean decriminalizing drug dealing. It just helps people reach out.

He introduced me to cocaine and i got so addicted to it. But I couldn’t use it without him if I did he’d get mad and I’d get afraid he’d break up with me.

Is he high now? Reminds me of my first husband. What a lot of people don't understand is that BEFORE they were addicts, many of these people have a mild preexisting mental condition, that went undiagnosed, and they began "self medicating" at a young age, and instantly got addicted to a substance which provided an alternative mental state, to give them comfort. Then it grows out of control. At least that's how it was for me. I still drink, moderately, but I'm nowhere near as bad as I used to be. My ex-husband introduced me to most of it, as we both suffered Asperger's and the drugs were a mental retreat. I'm just happy that I'm able to be happy again and experience motivation and joy without having to get high 24/7.

Getting to the point of *wanting* to be clean was always the kicker. I wanted to want sobriety, or just to not be dependent on anything to function, but getting there was impossible. I didn't distinguish between those two feelings, (wanting to change and hoping I'd ever 'want' to change) until I had a few years clean. It still feels like a random paradigm shift that I was just "lucky" to have. Once I actually wanted to change things, it was possible. Whereas before, it was going through the motions out of guilt or my responsibility to others. When it came down to it, for me, I had to be selfish and do it for 'me'.

Amazing video ❤️ It’s so important to talk about and destigmatize addiction. I’ve struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for 10+ years, relapsing occasionally. My family has addiction problems also. We can’t hold anger towards our significant others who are addicts when all they need is support.

I’ve been addicted to opiates for about 8 years now. Definitely from past trauma but now my addiction is just a residual part of all that. I feel him on the feeling like it’s a mountain that you can never get over. Things feel so hopeless sometimes. Like why me ya know ? I keep reminding myself even now I’m still luckier than most people. Just gotta cowboy up and make it happen I guess.

I get why being alone would be a big fear, drug addicts get hugely isolated from friends family and society which is the opposite of what they need. I’m not saying feed into their addictions but be there as an emotional support during hard times and let them know that they aren’t alone, isolation can eat people up even without drugs.

People always say "you made a choice and you kept making that choice" in reference to drug addiction but I would argue that most people (not all) I know who have been addicted started using young and that is not making an informed choice at that age. When you start getting drunk and high that young, you don't remember what it even felt like to be sober.

I wrote a poem after I watched this video. Poem by Jung drug addict I was once a drug addict I was only 21 College was full of distractions Before I talk to people and friends I was talking to my self alone I was afraid of the life The world that I live in It was a rough road Heavy mind So I missed school I got broke My mind was not able to heal I failed once in my life But I didn't wanna fail twice That's why I am not giving up That's why I stood up on this world That's why I am still alive Because hope doesn't comes from joy or dreams It comes from my self And I love my self And always will be So I will not stop So I won't give up Because I got hope :)

Honestly I've kind of given up hope on life. It's no wonder with all my physical health issues (which I'm working hard on fixing) and mental health issues which are extremely treatment resistent, along with having a completely dysfunctional life due to growing up in a weird way. Anyhow what I'm doing is I suppose my own version of when people go on subutex or some such to still be on something but not be addicted. I've been on Oxy for years but I'm restricting my dosages to 10mg, never really gone above it. I honestly cannot cope with existing completely sober because of (very likely) untreated and undigagnosed adhd which I can't evaluate due to drug use (queue time is 10 months and I can't stay clean that long). What a fun catch 22.

Some people are more susceptible to addiction, so I guess that's the gene, it's even more likely if parents were addicts. I'm one of those people, but with me, because I know, I tend to forcefully stop myself before it turns into an addiction. The only one I haven't been able to stop is nicotine, but I've definitely come close to being addicted to opiods, specifically pain medication. I get frequent headaches, so I just gobbled pills for weeks and until my mom told me to stop before it gets serious. Now, I've built up tolerance for them so they don't work no more and my mom keeps them locked away. Anyway, that's what I wanted to say.

I agree with one of the worst things you've ever heard about an addict is "relapse is part of recovery" and the other one that I personally hate is the professionals calling it a disease! I've gotten started on it myself because of social anxiety, but it is NOT a disease! Putting that kinda stuff in an addicts head is just giving them, or (us), an excuse to use. That's just my personal opinion.
