- In this interview, Shelly opens up about her drug use. She's currently homeless on the streets of Kensington, PA. She often does dates with men for money, but actually got stabbed 7 times once by a date she knew. She's been in the hospital at least once a month since last November. She gets wound care all the time for infections and sores on her legs. The skin is actually falling off.

No teeth, slit throat, raw legs, stabbed 7 times , scarred faced, excruciating pain, heart attack and only 32. Homeless and a drug addict, yet you can still see she is a beautiful young woman under it all. Can’t help but to wonder how different her life could have been. Intelligence and three little girls she obviously loves. What a shame. Prayers 🙏
She made bad decisions
The crazy thing is she's very intelligent..... she knows what she's talking about and she very honest about what her problems are and she's not in denial about her situation. I wish she'd get help bc she could still do something with her life.
Once you’re hooked your brain doesn’t operate the same - to get clean when you’re in this kind of state is a utter miracle I pray she finds help cuz you can’t do it alone
@@sfenn73 Most addicts and alcoholics make "bad decisions" They still deserve help.
Wtf?😮
My sister introduced me to Crack, i was on that mess for 7 years. My sister passed away from a massive Crack induced heart attack at 34. I'm clean 17 years, praise God. I pray for this young lady, in God's name.
Wow! I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, but I'm so happy to hear you made it out. That's amazing. I just hit 10 years clean myself back in April. Definitely praise God. 🙏

@@catg943 That's amazing, Cat. Congratulations on that. I just hit 10 years clean back in April. Keep going. You got this.
@@unheardvoices_official Wow, 10 years is incredible! Keep up the good work, you'll be in my prayers!
She’s right about the mental side.
Well done you! And sending you good vibes to stay that way! The only addiction I've had to overcome was smoking - pack a day for 35 years, but managed to quit 17 years ago. I can't even begin to imagine what you must have gone through or how hard it must have been to get clean. Kudos!
@@Haggislover Thank you! I battled addictions for 30+ years. i'm now trying to quit smoking. Well done you for quitting the smokes! I'm having a hard time with that. but if I quit the booze and the dope I can quit the cigs! Thank you for the kind words!
Bless her. She so real. I get her. I’ll have 100 days tomorrow…. Peace bro. Thanks and stay safe.
@@jasonbold9956 Congratulations on the 100 days. That's amazing. Keep going. You got this. I just hit 10 years clean myself back in April. You can do it. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need to.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 amazing
That's awesome! Congratulations!
God Bless You!
❤❤❤❤❤
She's not a goner, she still has hope. Needs to get off the streets asap.
I’m in recovery from 30 years of Heroin abuse. The way she describes the mental anguish. The non stop battle in my head. Constant negative self talk. She was right on point. I used to wonder. Maybe I’ve done so much damage. I’ll always be like this. It’s hard at first but it does get better.
Stay strong. One day at a time
@@Baltimorebuisness Absolutely, Shawn. I've been clean a little over 10 years myself. I definitely get it. She was definitely on point about the mental aspects of it. Congratulations on getting clean, bro.
@@unheardvoices_official Loving your content man. I work at a center in NE Baltimore. As long as they have Medicade or Medicare. Which almost everyone in Baltimore does these days. They stay is free. 1 couples house. Usually those beds fill up quick. A bunch of men’s houses. It’s a good place. Like any of them. Most of it’s up to the individual. But the houses are clean, not in the dope hole like a lot of them. So if you ever need anything shoot me a message.
That is truly amazing!!
It’s never too late for your mental health. It’s slow going but the point is that you’re going. You got this.
This woman has so much potential. She understands a lot about addiction. She just needs the right support to help her on that path. There are a lot of great channels here for that. I found the one for me, and it worked when nothing else did. I was 1yr sober two weeks ago. She CAN do this!!
She needs to get out of this neighborhood! I swear these people in this drug infested neighborhood are pawns. There are people that want to buy all this up for next to nothing…flood with drugs, addicts, and crime and the cost of anything in this neighborhood isn’t worth anything. An investors dream. 🤬
I totally understand what she is saying about the mental aspect. The guilt, shame and remorse hits you SO hard when you are not numb from drugs anymore!
I never understood the side of being and living as an addict, until after I retired..My Dr sent me to a quack pain clinic, that keeps u on an endless wheel of opiates and pain blocks..nothing to help anyone long term, just keep u coming back like a lab rat for your pills..after 7 years, I was an addict..I decided ENOUGH, went cold turkey…I was in hospital for 2 days, then went to a farm and recovered for 3 mos..I lost 7 years of my life to the WRONG DIAGNOSIS AND THE WRONG DR..I am on legal on MJ and I get my back cauterized every year..I have no pain anymore, bec this Dr said I did not have fibromyalgia, I had scoliosis..nice Drs in my hometown, huh? Went to my ortho over 30 years with MRI, X-ray after another and he never told me I had scoliosis..I hate that mfer…
I've been clean from heroin for 16yrs. That mental stuff hits you hard when you get clean. Even now I have moments where I have to make myself stop thinking. I may be clean and forgiven for a lot by others but forgiving myself is a whole other thing.
Her explanations of what goes on with an addict are very good. Praying for you, sweetheart💝🙏🏻
@@janbak2306 Absolutely! 🙏
Yes indeed- but on the other side I have to say as an (ex)-addict too:
the craving to drugs and to use again is really immensely heavy (especially at the first days!),
but YOU HAVE TO PUSH TROUGH THAT if you ever want to be clean (and in case of this poisoning tranq-dope and the life threatening wounds that it causes- just to life!)!
That’s the strength that is needed from your own,
that’s the real hard part,
- and no one and no medicine can really take this hard part away from you!!
All you can do is talk about it a lot to people who understand,
try to bring your mind and thoughts into other activities (very helpful is going into the nature,
or be with animals),
find a hobby like sports or some handwork, arts, ect…
Helping others in anyways is also very helpful - it brings joy and a purpose!
But it stays really hard for a long time and then always again if bad things/times happen to you…
But it gets also better, as more time goes by!
Humans are always poled on routines very much,
and everyone would get in trouble first, if a such strong and personal important routine
like take drugs mostly plenty times a day and for a long time - maybe years would disappear!
Because every high is a powerful experience to the brain!!
And yes- this is a strong psychological withdrawal also- very logical!
But again- without a strong will for chancing you can’t do it…
But it’s makeable and it’s so worth it it!!✨
One of the best interviews yet! What an articulate young woman. The honesty blew me away. I pray she seeks the treatment for everything she’s identified that’s going on with her. She deserves far better. I don’t say that about many addicts but I’m rooting for her. I truly understand where she’s at. I was there once and by the grace of God I’ve got many years clean now. She can do it too. I’ll be praying for her. 🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you for offering to take her to the hospital. ❤️ Had she said yes you might have helped save her life.
Great interview for all the right reasons. 👏👏👏
@janwarriner6554 Her honestly was definitely commendable. It was real and raw. I'm rooting for her as well. Congratulations on getting clean. I just hit 10 years clean myself back in April. I definitely wish she had let me take her to the hospital. Thanks so much for the kind words and for supporting the channel. It's truly appreciated. 🙏
If you can get up and walk away... Walk of faith. The AA technique is with the "sponsor"... Keep one busy until the worst gets better... Taking a walk along the highways and hedge rows is good for that...
@@davidturner3014 when I got a sponsor she had 35 yrs sober. I attended the party for her at 50 years sober. I never needed to wait until she got better. She passed away in 2016. The biggest thing she taught me was the spiritual part of the program. The rest I learned at meetings, service work up to the state level. I went to far more meetings than my friends because I was hanging onto every word. I made at least a step meeting and also a tradition meeting once a week or more. Today I’m the elder states”man” with 36 years clean and sober. I still sponsor people and a few for 25 years. I owe everything to God and AA. My life has been beyond my wildest dreams.
And there are many beyond my years of sobriety. I still listen and learn.
@@unheardvoices_official 10 years is a benchmark. Congratulations! I’m happy for you. I got your back 100. In Jan. I celebrated 36 years. Time has flown by. I wouldn’t change any bit of my life today. We are all MIRACLES!
@@janwarriner6554 That's amazing! I'm so happy to hear that. Congratulations. You definitely deserve it. And you're right... this side of things is so much better.
She’s not a
Hopeless case!
I can see
Brightness in her future!
I see it too!!!
@@cookied5806 I'm rooting for her. 🙏
Recovering addict here and I completely agree. She still has that twinkle in her eye and pep in her step. Praying for her!🙏
@MaddHeather I'm definitely rooting for her. Congrats on making it out. 🙏
🙌🏻💯
This woman has such a loving soul. She cares about everyone but herself….shes a strong woman who can succeed in life.
We’re all behind ya ~ ❤
She is extremely articulate
Not really.
@@DonnellOkafor-r2d
What would be the reason for you to say that she isn’t ? Did I possibly miss something ?
Is it because she is a junkie ?
That doesn’t take away from her ability to convey her message
I disagree. however, this is why we have a comment section- It gives everyone an opportunity to voice their opinions
and/or concerns 😊
@@SaysWho1013 she isn't articulate. Listen to Christopher Hitchens if you want to hear articulate.
Your standards are low.
@@DonnellOkafor-r2dCheck out the big brain on you! To compare her to Christopher Hitchens in regards to simply saying she sounds articulate in this interview tells me that your IQ is low never mind your standards.
@@DonnellOkafor-r2d Continue hating, it definitely doesn't improve your life.
So succinct
Really honest sharing
No blaming others
Smart , and beautiful face
She's one of the most with it addicts I've seen. She's level headed with a lot of common sense, if she could just conquer her addiction she would def make it in society. I hope she decides sobriety for her path.
@heathercianflone5350 I agree! She's very cognitively aware of what's happening & she can convey her thoughts clearly... She laughs at the really awful stuff she's going through. It must be a coping mechanism. Dark humor. "I had a heart attack. 😂 I had 3 heart attacks? 😂" I really hope she gets help. She's speaking for so many people. 😢😢😢
Love to all the addicts recovered or not. Addiction is insidious and no one is immune. It's a terrible thing to battle.
It's definitely a terrible thing to battle. 🙏
I’m 7 years clean from IV heroin. I hope this woman can find peace and get clean. If I can do it, anyone can!
That's amazing, and I'm so happy to hear that. Congratulations on getting 7 years clean. 🙏
@@unheardvoices_official thank you! 😊
The trauma pain from her past and present is overwhelming. That's what she fears most. I can totally understand that. But dear Shelly, please understand that is only a part of you. There is also a very strong, courageous and loving part inside of you. And that part is bigger and stronger than the other one. Turn inside and you'll find it. Please take care of yourself. You seem like someone who can eventually help others. You are valuable. Wishing you all the best from the Netherlands 🌷
She seems so nice, bless her heart.
She is whats called dual diagnosis and alot of us addicts have the mental part to. By the grace of god i have 5 and a half years and got meds and therapy to fix the trauma and anxiety. Praying for her.
@@MaddHeather Congratulations on the 5 1/2 years. That's amazing. I just hit 10 years myself back in April. Keep going. You got this!
I absolutely love how open and honest this woman is!! She can go far in life if she can get off the drugs. I see so much potential in her!!
@@jenniferhalf1650 with no teeth?
@DonnellOkafor-r2d There's these nifty new things that have come out for people with missing or no teeth called dentures.
it hurts my heart knowing shes been on the streets on and off for 17 years. i cant imagine how exhausting that kind of life is. shes clearly super intelligent. im hoping for the best for her. 🙏🏻❤️
My mom always said guilt was the hardest thing to deal with when she was sober!
Absolutely
Pray for her and her children. She is so articulate i hope she finds healing.
Please get in recovery….you are loved and deserve to live life sober ❤
She is a good person. I am praying for your recovery for your legs as well as getting clean. Girlie YOU are worth so much. Pray. Get mental health care. Therapy works! God bless you and stay safe!😇💋❤️🙏
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporees I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once.
Breathe. You're strong. You got this Take it day by
day.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporees
As i said, I had a IV Heroin and cocaine addiction for 20+ years. My sister raised my daughter. When this young woman was talking about the racing thoughts and the guilt...i definitely related. My daughter passed away March 1,st. She was born with Cornelia De Lange syndrome and living in a group home for disabled adults. The people at the group home are responsible. She was everything to me. In the 13 years i have been clean, i was able to have a wonderful relationship with my little girl. I thank God every night for that. I miss her so badly.
I was on it too. Im sorry for your loss.

@@phoenixdavida8987
Thank you so much! ❤️
Damn the very end hit me when she started to tear up when she said I'll get it, she knows she needs to and can but just isnt ready hopefully she takes the leap before she dies
I remember when I got attacked by a homeless guy and he only got two years for attempted murder. Meanwhile I suffered much mental trauma and I was never the same again. I pray she gets out of that situation asap. God bless everyone who struggles with addiction

Shes actually seems pretty intelligent. I pray that she is able to handle the mental stuff so she can get clean. Loved her

I’m interested in knowing how Shelley is now! Can you please keep us updated? I’m sending her much love n light for healing ❤️🩹
Yes..me too.
I'm with you guys too. I hope that she knows that she has people pulling for her and wanting nothing but for her to get well.
Girl, you have a lot of insight! Your concern for your sister is admirable. You have a great heart.
So sad she instantly chocked up mentioning her kids it’s sad. Even though she’s active in use she still is human. I hope she can find a way to get the help she needs. I hope you can find your way dont give up u seem so smart and educated use it ❤
@pattycakes21 It's definitely sad. I hope she manages to find her way out of there and gets the help she needs.
She is definitely different and more enlightened than most out there. Praying right now for you Shelly!!
There has never been this massive addiction problem in America at any time in our history. Think about this fact. We have lost huge numbers of Americans due to this influx of drugs here.
I wonder if it’s because of loneliness or hopelessness, or the fact that once you’re on the streets it becomes a million times harder to stay away from.
@@sunnyandthechlo Question: take two 18 year olds with equally challenging childhoods, being homeless they both experience loneliness, desperation and sadness. They each Take different roads to follow. One starts to rebuild with small steps forward, every step is challenging but the results encourage “her”to continue moving forward. All the Small accomplishments have paid off. She will reflect on her journey fondly. The second person finds relief through street drugs. Sadly what once brought temporary relief has turned out to be horrible trap that will drain and destroy her in every way, she’s a prisoner. My question, what differentiates these two ladies, why did they each choose separate paths?
@@lindasutton4014 they aren’t the exact same, they are individuals. They have had different life experiences. They cope and process and act out in different ways. Some of it could be genetic. You could ask the same question about kids who are raised by the same parent. Why are they sometimes very different? Why does one sometimes get into drugs and the other doesn’t when they were raised in the same household? Mental health is a massive factor.
@@sunnyandthechloThe only thing that will heal our country is faith in God. Literally “coming to Jesus” is our only hope. He died for ours sins and faith in him heals our souls. Our country would be in a far better place if more people turned their lives over to Jesus, the Savior. Sin is the root of all our problems and Christianity is the only religion that has the remedy for sin, who is Jesus Christ.
@@lindasutton4014 I don’t know. But I think I’d still be inclined to answer with past experiences, how you were raised and the way your body and brain work. No two people can have the exact same experiences unless they’re conjoined twins or something.
She is 32? Holy hell, drugs are horrible
@@briank8697 Drugs are definitely horrible.
She too me looks younger. If she gets off now she will stay young looking.
She looks young and old at the same time
She would look good if not for being on it and on the streets
She looks younger then 32. She loves her children, she's smart and doesn't blame others for her circumstances.
I pray for her to get and stay clean. She could be an awesome counselor. Missing the methadone clinic was what got me on Opanas and eventually Heroin. I know the pain sister. Please get help.... YOU ARE WORTH IT QUEEN!!!!!!! 1-2-17 By The Grace of God.
Thank you for doing these interviews. I have never heard drug addicts speak this way before. This is really informative and touching. This has really helped me understand. I knew people who have died from drugs and alcohol. It is not a pleasant way to die for them or their families.
Bless her, I hope she gets clean.
I pray for this young woman. She is still young. Her children need her.
This woman has potential. She’s very intelligent.. Nothing but prayers and love Shelly!!
@@samiam3706 🙏
Her life must be hell 😢
@claudiaahwireng873 I'm sure it is. Hopefully, she gets up out of there and gets the help she needs.
This is so sad.
Stop doing that shit!!!
Praying 🙏😇 for all the people who are sick .
At least shes keeping her sister away from the road of drugs.
OMG... She knows what she’s doing, and still does it.
Welcome to the sad reality of addiction 🫤
Prayers for this beautiful Soul.Tragic Life .
Praying for this beautiful young lady she seems to have potential and I pray she gets clean and praying for her brother as well 🙏🏾❤️
Love and light from New Zealand everyone 💛🙏
I definitely appreciate the support! 🙏
Kia ora!
That not feeling comfortable with yourself and the guilt and shame is so real makes it that much harder to be willing to get out and change the situation she’s too real she puts into words what most feel
I'd love to see her , realize she has value. Prayers her way 🙏. ❤
Hope she will get clean soon.
I do, too. 🙏
And she still shoots drugs? Unbelievable!
She was clean, the clinic she was at (or inpatient?) did not provide the proper transition… what the f is wrong with this world??? Revolving door? $$$$$ Makes me angry for her!!!
Insurance - or lack thereof is the key to your question
@@HildeAzul The statistics on people staying clean after leaving treatment centers are extremely low. I'd be lying if I said I knew how to fix it or had all the answers. I would love to find a way to change that.
@@kiki11974 Insurance can definitely be an issue.
It’s almost like they’d need their own community. But if they are together drugs usually happen. Those people do seem to have a strong sense of community it’s just in a distorted way. They help each look out for each other until one has what the other wants then they take it. I didn’t mean this comment to you per se , it’s just where I put it.
@@LoraCorkhill-wm9pk Good points, Lora.
Oh bless her!!!! I wish I could wrap my arms around her and let her know she is a beautiful person

She knows what will help her as a recovering addict the physical is over when you get better but it's the support and after care is what counts. Hang in there I promise you it is so worth getting of drugs you got this girl
She is not “recovering”
I have to say, she sounds like the most self aware and intelligent active drug addiction I've ever heard. I don't say it much, but I truly hope she can get clean and they save her leg. She would have so much potential being clean. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thanks so much for supporting the channel and the kind words for Shelly. They're truly appreciated! 🙏
She is so pretty. I feel sad for her. I appreciate hearing about her issues, i have a better understanding now. May God help her!
Do not judge anyone, you don't know what their circumstances. Usually terrible childhood memories, so sad. They chase a nice warmcover to make them safe , they find it in hard core drugs
Poor little darling. Praying she gets through her addictions and has a normal happy life. 😢❤
Shelly, I hope and pray that you make the decision soon to get proper treatment for your leg wounds and a successful rehab. All the very best xx
Been clean from black tar for the past 7 years. Im SO lucky i got out before fent and tranq was common. I wouldnt be able to stop.
That's amazing! Congratulations on getting clean. That's a huge accomplishment. I just hit 10 years clean myself back in April. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I would've been dead if fentanyl and tranq. were around when I was using drugs.
Thanks so much for supporting the channel. It's truly appreciated. 🙏
The way she’s rocking back & forth she’s stimming SO hard
At least shes honest
@@user-ie8zl2qy5g She's definitely honest.
Can't stand still for a minute
@@fredakurzbard4316drugs, yes. But also constant pain.
Poor baby. She seems intelligent and is ready on one level to get clean, yet she doubts herself so much. I often wish, when I see people like her suffering that I could just shake them with love into believing that they have a purpose in their life. It's just heartbreaking and that is why I limit myself to watching these gut wrenching interviews. I do volunteer to help senior citizens get food each day. I do wish I had the strength to help these homeless addicts. I can pray and put the light around them in my heart today. Thank you for letting us see the truth of the reality of this human pain.
Thank you for the kind words. It's amazing that you volunteer with senior citizens. I love it!
This is clearly a smart young woman. It’s so sad that if she had only half a chance her life could be totally different. I really feel for her. Being addicted is one of the worst punishments you can get. I was a alcoholic for years and I’m sober now for about 15 years. The guilt and shame she feels is something I know all to well. Getting clean or sober is indeed more than just the body it’s also in the mind. I do hope she can get clean and still have a nice life. She seems a nice lady and without all the mess she can be whoever she wants.
I hope she knows every day is a new day, so it's not too late. So hard for a woman,especially, out on the streets and hoping for a better and safer tomorrow for her .
It's definitely hard for anyone, but like you said, especially a woman. I'm rooting for her. Hopefully, she manages to get out of there and gets the help she needs.
Hi how are you 🌹
What a likeable intelligent young woman. I wish her all the best.
You can see the pain in her voice and see it in her eyes. I hope she finds happiness.
Omg please someone help this woman. 🙏 she doesn’t deserve this kind of life. Help her find her way.
And what are people suppose to do to help her !? She’s an addict. She has to help herself. Obviously you have no clue about drug addicts.
You can’t force a person to change.. Shelly has to want the help..
It's said one reaps
What one sows
She's so incredibly beautiful. So sad. Pain, mental and physical can get terrifying because you never think it can get worse, but it can get 100 times worse... always. It can ALWAYS get worse than you thought!
Drugs ruined her look. She looks at least 50 😢
God bless . What a beautiful woman.
If you're reading this always remember you are loved and appreciated 💜💖❤️
Thank you for educating the public with these real people that people see right through.
God bless you get help Shelly before it's to late ❤❤❤
She's so smart. I hope she can get clean.
I pray that this woman will get OFF the streets!! The mental stuff is terrible at first but it slowly gets better. I pray that she can push thru and endure the horrible pain of removing herself from the drugs. She is a beautiful soul thru it all. ❤✌🏼 🕊️
So sad! It makes me cry for these people.
what a smart and beautiful young lady,i hope she finds peace
I hope she reads these comments. Over and over and over again. ❤❤❤❤
That rocking side to side on the feet will kill me. Pray she'll get better and even though it isn't saying much, she is doing better than a lot of those poor people on the streets up north.
I feel so sad for her too I just subscribed I hope she gets clean and doesn’t loose her legs.
Damn the first HONEST person I’ve seen on an interview … she was so real and it was refreshing ….. I really hope she gets the help she does need like NOW!
I can see this girl doing talks to educate kids about drugs...she is articulate and has the experience! I hope she come through to the otherside!
I know someone who was depressed about DUi repercussions, losing his job for drinking. Now he is also depressed about having had a leg amputated. It is a lot. Oh for the days when our only hope was for him to get sober. His brother took him in his home, thankfully. He pays what he can. Woman, do you realize your leg needs to be amputated? What will it take for you to get passed your mental addictions?
Serious question, do you really believe her leg have to be amputated?
@@Maxine1630 She said she has ‘no skin’. To even get a skin graft, one must resolve to discontinue whatever it was that caused the damage. Like an alcoholic must resolve to recover before a liver transplant. Or a smoker who must quit to get a lung transplant. I’m only guessing, because the surgery is expensive, and funds are needed for surgeons.
@@JudyTullos ok, I understand now...thank you!
I love to see some follow up on this lady she is really truthful and I think she can really do it eventually
I am praying 🙏 for you. We're all helpless in a certain situation. Life is a dream, but nothing.
@@user-ru5xz3lz9c 🙏
this was a really well-done interview. it didn't feel exploitative or disrespectful at all, unlike some other street interview channels... i used to spend time in kensington and "the badlands" area of north philly. I'll have 14 years clean in about a week or so. shit has changed. dope used to have heroin in it. now its just tranq and fent. even the meth and coke has tranq in it. most of my drug era friends are now dead, in jail, a handful made it out alive and clean, and the few still left living the life are rotting from the tranq. looking like zombies.
@@MickeyFlea That's awesome, man. Congratulations on getting 14 years clean. I just hit 10 years clean myself back in April. And I totally feel you on losing friends and the drugs not being what they used to be. I always say I'd be dead if fentanyl was around back when I was getting high. I definitely appreciate the support on the channel. It's truly appreciated.
This poor sweet soul - I hate that we don’t have enough mental health & addiction services for people
I can understand how life can rent space in your head. She is so smart, and I’m praying for her and others out there. EVICT that negativity in your head, YOU GOT THIS. Stop letting negativity RENT SPACE in your head.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope this woman gets the help she needs because I see something in her! I will pray for her and those people in need.
Prayers for her. There is always hope 🙏💯💪
@@rebekahlikesmusic2723 Absolutely! 🙏
Wow you can see the pain in her eyes
This is why inpatient treatment is so important. It sounds like they are doing a good job of giving MAT (medication assisted treatment drugs) which is a huge part but being around other addicts trying to get clean in a group environment with counseling and 24 hour support is crucial. Sounds like she needs 90 days minimum but probably a longer 6 month program. She still has time to turn it around.
@@rmw9130 Well said, Reagan. She probably needs something longer than 90 days. I agree with you. Maybe 6 - 12 months. She definitely still has time to turn it all around.
@unheardvoices_official I love your videos. You ask honest and insightful questions but also show great compassion as well. I have been clean & sober (off very hard drugs) for 3 years and 7 months. Also, it gives me a visceral reminder of why I never want to go back.
@rmw9130 Thanks so much for the support. It's amazing that you've been clean. I love it. I feel you! I don't ever want to go back either.
