I'm a Drug Addict. Ask Me Anything.

personally i feel drug addicts should be sent to rehabs or mental facility’s instead of jail or prison unless theres an actual crime involved. jail/prison most likely isn’t going to help just make it worse.

that heart to heart he had with that woman who spoke about her mother was the highlight of the video. goosebumps.

Wow he’s extremely self-aware which I didn’t honestly expect. Such a great personality, hope he recovers and things work out for him

To think things like a movie scene could be the start of something like this is mind blowing

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.

He's brutally honest. I honestly hope he can get things worked out, he seems legit and cool. This stuff slowly takes everything from everyone it touches. Edit: 1.9k in a day?! How yall haha thanks!

I honestly love his honesty. He didn't hold back nor hesitate on nothing or no one. Hopefully he gets a hold on it, mad respect for talking about it and being honest.

I lost both my parents in October and December of 2021 to their addictions. My mother overdosed on heroin laced with fentanyl and my father drank himself to death...I appreciated the story of the girl whose mother is an addict, I understand her. 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. You should do “I’m a child of an addict, ask me anything”

I’m proud of him for admitting that he needs outside help (therapy, etc). That is often the first step. I wish him the very very best

My parents were addicts. My father died from a heart attack when I was 4 and my mom took her life when I was 5. My heart is with everyone who is battling addiction or recovering

mad respect riggy. it's really hard to come out and talk about such a taboo subject.

I lost my boyfriend of 8 years in February, 2.12.22 I found him dead on our couch due to a fetnayl overdose. This has just crushed my entire existence, I was so in love and admired him so deeply. I fought so hard to let know I’m here for him, to get him help, to just be a loving ear for him, a warm embrace when he wanted it, I never gave up on him, and although I lost him I am so glad I stood by him so he died knowing he was so loved :( I can’t imagine so many addicts having not much support from famlily feeling so unloved or unwanted or like a burden. Addiction is so hard n it essentially turns our love ones into strangers, people who no longer recognize, but they need all the love we can give. Please don’t give up on them. He used to tell me I was his only reason to live, that broke me, I wanted him to have many reasons to want to live :( I miss him so much every single day. My best friend my soulmate, I love you with all my heart Tj, not a day goes by that I don’t miss you. Forever & always. Yours truly. My sweet Angel.

The girl talking about her mothers alcoholism is literally my same story. It brought me to tears. I pray she has peace and I pray I find peace too

I really feel for these people. I truly hope they can get access to the help they need.

I feel for this guy. The war on drugs has been a crime against humanity.

I just lost my uncle this morning to his addiction. I wanna watch this video to understand what he was thinking going back to it but I can’t bring myself to. I hope everyone who’s struggling finds a way to get out of that dark place.

“what can we do better” that is the best thing a cop could ever say

People suffering from addiction deserve kindness and care, not imprisonment. Wish I could give him a hug- I hope you can find some small joys in life because you deserve it

I feel for him. You can feel the humanity. I admire the honesty and the strength to face himself. Please, understand you deserve to be happy. You are no less than others. Don't forsake yourselves. <3

I've been addicted to heroin for a little over 10 years now. I've tried multiple times to get clean and I can never get it to stick. I hope one day I'm able to beat it but to be honest sometimes I feel like ending my life because I don't think I'll ever be able to beat it and it's a miserable existence
