As a mother in recover this really resonates with me. She is so right when she said the loss of a child is the only pain drugs can’t take away. I got clean while I was pregnant and relapsed for a few months when he was 1 and when my parents took him away which I’m glad they did now after a week of getting high and now being with my son I cried all the time I felt like I was in a constant panic attack that would never let up. I couldn’t take it I went to detox and rehab for 3 months and when I saw the smile on my sons face when we reunited I knew I was done for good and I have been clean for 3 years now and never been happier.

I was a crackhead for 7 years, did meth a few times. Started with my sister, who'd been smoking for 3-4 years. In 2006, I got clean in a cheap motel in Lewisville, Texas. I cried and prayed to God for about 1.5 days, and I haven't touched crack since. I became an alcoholic. For 14 years. I'm still recovering. In 2007, I lost my sister to a massive crack induced heart attack. She was 34, with 4 kids. Nobody but God, us, a few close friends, and our dealers knew. NOBODY. We were "high functioning" crack heads. I miss my sister, she tried to kick. RIP, Andrea Dawn Roycroft, 1972-2007.

I’m so sorry about the loss of your sister. I cannot imagine how devastating her loss is for you, her children and your family. And that’s incredible that you got off crack and stayed off- that’s really something to treasure! Your story resonates with me a lot. I started out an alcoholic, and relapsed repeatedly over the years, but was teased a lot in rehab for being “just an alcoholic,” with people saying I didn’t know what “real addiction was like.” When I stopped drinking, I ended up relapsing again, but on opiates, eventually finding out about fentanyl, and finally found recovery in July 2017. I had a son die in 2006, and I just didn’t handle that well at all. When I went to treatment in 2017, I finally started acknowledging all of this grief and sadness I had with him, and turned to God completely for help, and my life completely turned around. As I’m sure you’re very familiar with, grief can be so crippling when it’s associated with someone you love so much and getting through it can be very difficult at first! Thanks for sharing!

@@TexasPictures looking forward to those series! The attention you bring to this issue is so vital! I’m in Arizona and am always telling people about this channel, as I’m quite passionate about this issue and its impact, especially on young people. I lost a son when he was six weeks old, and his death was the most difficult event of my life. However, with fentanyl, these parents and families are blindsided by a poison that takes their child after they did their best to raise them right. Oftentimes, their child didn’t know what they were taking, and for many, it was their first time to use any substance at all. I cannot comprehend the profound grief and devastation they feel. I’m glad you’re doing a series with law enforcement and EMTs too- I’ve always supported law enforcement, and when I hear the parents talk about their disappointment and sadness with dealers not being held accountable, I feel frustrated also and wonder what the reason might be for this. Anyway, sorry for the long comment; I wanted to let you know your work is much appreciated by many, which I assume you’ve already been told many, many times before!Thank you!!
