It's been 3 years for me, friend. I hope you're still doing well. I'm praying for you and your recovery. It's a struggle every single day but you can do it.
Mushhood Khan depends what drug you were doing. If you’re talking about weed or ganja, that isn’t a drug it’s a herb. Also people use weed to over come other drugs. If you were doing crack, meth or heroine that’s bad! But good on you! Well done!
@Oliver Von arx why do westerners still behave the same as in the medieval age? corruption and like to accuse others of evil while themselves are evil. This technique still use today. Maybe just your culture
@Oliver Von arx you need to read up on the opium trade. Also Islam prohibits the use or trade of narcotics. Just Google it. It's a shame you have access to so many resources and still show yourself up.
I'm crying while watching this! Because this is exactly like my stories.. For almost 4 year's i was heroine addicted 😷& it's ruin my college life but after that I'm good in studies and get almost 60% mark's in my graduation from Allahabad University ! Now from 9 month's i have not even touched the tobacco ! I'm from Uttar Pradesh India🇮🇳
Aftab is an amazing man! An addict himself has turned himself around and now gives these addicts his love and time to help them too, change their lives. Aftab I applaud you 👏
Only an Addict Can work in Rehab Center ...I've never been to one but have heard a lot of stories from my Best Friend and Using partner about Addicts are the only person who are appointed at Rehabs as Counsellor . My friend says that his Counsellor always used to say "" Accha Accha Mat dikha Sachha Sachha Dikha ""😆😆😆
The bit where the father is speaking to his son, telling him to create love within himself and all will heal... hit my heart bad. Deep words from a true father Respect.
That care worker, Aftab Alam, is incredible. He looks at the boys so intensely and absolutely. He is “Dialed in,” as we say. He really cares and there is only success For the child. What a man.
My respects to the father that was confronting his son about drugs seems like the only person with common sense. when he said "look you have your mother, you have me and you have your sister" omg I started shetting tears

That ex addict that works in the program for the kids is truly a changed and determined man who wants to help others that are living the life he used to. Plus he is mentally the strongest person I’ve seen since he travels the streets looking for addicts to talk to them and encourage them to get help; keep in mind that they’re using right there and given how Pakistan is the easiest country to find high quality heroin for less than what a Big Mac cost. That temptation to use again is literally almost impossible to turn down, I can bet that 9/10 would take the offer. Yet this man faces it daily and keeps choosing life. Truly remarkable if you ask me.

@whale shark You're brainwashed.... It comes from Afghanistan and Pakistan is the exporter... Having taste of your own medicine 💉 .... Congratulations Pakistan .
Not over here anymore. Heroine is out here and all other opioids are on prescription only. Our main concern is GHB and speed in all forms. Cocaine is still in use but far too expensive for most. Especially GHB is a big problem over here. It is very cheap and one can make it at home easy. We also have the premiere in meth at the moment in Moerdijk. The police found a lab on an inland freighter of 86x9 meters (Dortmunder). First known in the world. The ship was even booby trapped because when the police started their investigation a pump was started remotely to sink the ship. Luckily the police found the pump in time and were able to stop it.
I remember my detox, I wanted to die,but I thought of my grown kids who said they were not seeing me because when I died it would be easier!!! That was 7 years ago, 7 years of very hard work, many tears and hate for my addiction. Now I am so happy and have my kids and grand kids again and I try to be a power of example for people who are still using. I've buried so many friends this year wasted kives. Please remember God doesn't want you to be like this. Prayers for all who are suffering. I'm in the USA and it's bad.
I like how the Anti Narcotics Force conveniently finds an entire cargo container full of drugs when the film crew is visiting them. Also the only real issue of Pakistan and the rest of the world is Heroin not cannabis.
Z K : FACTS.....& dem same Anti Narcotics Force dats bringing da drugs threw da front door & out da back 2 b ship 2 all da countries around da globe...
heroin also isn't the real issue, opiates used correctly in the right dosage is very safe, its the the massive corruption across western elite establishments and there fact that they've prohibited drugs which that brings devastation and desperation, that's the real issue here, them children can buy any drug on the street without knowing the purity, had it be legal they wouldnt be able to use till they were 18 anyway and if they did become addicted as an adult then they would be clean drugs in safe dosages with clean needles. heroin is NOT the problem, the war on drugs is far more dangerous than heroin and just so you know, I'm a heroin addict for 4 years, I know what I'm talking about and have done masses of research on the subject of the war on drugs because of ,my situation, but I know about heroin personally and in a controlled environment the dangers are very limited, while at the moment there are masses of dangers because its so in controlled
Totally agree with Humanforfreedom95. Prohibition is the real harm. no education or regulation of any kind is what Prohibition brings. It doesn't stop people getting the drugs and makes a life of crime and drug dealing highly lucrative.
Richard Wiliams, the world is doing a good enough job of that without my help. When I look around I see fighting and destruction in so many countries. mans Thinking is destroying us all. Take care mate.
there must be... it's truly heartbreaking because hiv is a virus with a vicious talent. it has the ability to go latent in an infected host. so if these young men are using hiv positive needles and they contract the virus, it can appear asymptomatic and continue to do so for more than a decade. without knowing they even have it they can unknowingly pass it from person to person. in general it is devastating to see such young people addicted to this poison. makes me want to do anything in my power to help them...

I am coming into Pakistan some day soon and opening a Methadone clinic . They are in need of this. I wish the government could understand this. Come on Pakistan lets help clean this mess up. Work with me.
Addiction starts slowly and gradually. It always starts from a cup of coffee per day, then two, three and four and then you develop an urge for smoking, then a fold of weed and then you get high and high and even higher.
Addiction isn’t a disease. We can beat it. Will power. Im still recovering and I’ll never give up. Never lose hope. Your not alone. Everyone is going through something. I hope you feel the universe loves us all. We are the universe. ✌️ 💖 🌎
Cannabis is not a addicting drug by nature but the simplest way to smoke hash (which is the most common form of cannabis in Pakistan) is to mix it with the tobacco in cigarettes which are physically and psychologically addictive.
GoVir4l no, it's not accurate. It's the heroin that's addictive. That's like saying "heroin and needles" are addictive, needles aren't part of the equation.
Weed is extremely habit forming to the point where some people feel as though can't function without it. Any psychoactive substance can form some type of addiction to the point where it negatively impacts on a persons well being. A lot of people who smoke pot can't sleep or eat properly without it.
True comfort does not come from the physical world. The soul is spiritual. The body is physical. Two different levels of existence. The physical world will never satisfy the soul.
That little boy is so young....his voice hasn't even deepened yet. He's a child but you can see in his eyes that he's seen and experienced more suffering than most adults. Heartbreaking to see those children suffer so much. Addiction has such a huge stigma....and it's 10 times worse in muslim societies. The boy with the father is practically a baby still. Brings tears to my eyes. The people running and working at that treatment center are saints.
Unfortunately true:( As a practicing muslim Islam forbids each and every type of addiction clearly,The muslim societies do not implement the Islamic Law fully anymore and the result is infront of us
@@Hadiashehxad nor does Norway, Sweden, Bhutan, India, Israel and many others don't have Sharia, but they aren't as dependent on drugs as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, Sudan have it. Don't be a fool to think Islam can wipe out all problems...
As an ex-addict. I have been in recovery for 5 years. Heroin removes hunger. Sadly you can't just quit. It takes preparation and planning. I am done with the recovery meds. It almost killed me. Thank God its over! It steals your soul!!❤❤
why they always blaming cannabis?? I have been on and off narcotics since I was 13 and CANNABIS never was an open door for hard core drugs!!! It was my curiosity and bad influences from my own relatives!!!
My pakistani friend has also done drugs. Its bad but i beat him up and he learn his lesson. Now i be nice and help my pakistani friend. He is good boy now

@@abayasugen8446 I live in the uk. I got on to a programme and slow came off, best way. I listened to my case worker. I know it hard to keep away from all the bad. You will have rough time. Like I said I took medicine methadone but decreased it my self and stopped taking it and kept my self ok with codeine then stopped that too. I felt bad for 2 weeks, but the worse was over. It takes years to find yourself again, you need to fill your life, my friend. Keep busy. I know it's easy to say, all I have us words. But do it for yourself.
I feel terrible for the young man addicted to heroin, i know what its like but he has it so much worse by virtue of being born on a much more poor continent than i did. I'm clean now for 4 plus years, I wish there was some way to help him (short of sending some company money to help, im not keen on others getting paid to give my money to where they feel it should be spent.) I wish there were some way to get him here to america so he can get some actual help that he clearly needs........
terribly sad but worth watching, it was quite heartening to see the efforts of NGO's, stories like Mr. Aftab need to be highlighted more on national media more than viral trends like chaiwala.. that man is a true hero and a perfect role model for people who have no hope and resort to drugs.
So the rehab is so intense that cutting is a normal reaction? I see a lot of brave kids here and some amazing work but man these people need money. India and Pakistan need to grow up and sign a truce and spend the money they now spend on A-Bombs and the military, on their people. Yes, we in the West can do much more too. Interesting how this highlights that criminalizing drugs actually makes Hash a gateway drug to Heroin, when otherwise it wouldn't be, in general.
Gretchen Isasquirrel That's annoying. How are you today? I am having a rare relaxing day off from training for my new job or looking after my spawn. Yourself?
"war torn country" I have yet to see a war in my country. There is an issue of substance abuse in Pakistan but let's not over exaggerate the climate of our country for the sake of a description.
@@jonnyboydickinson1914 Weed is expensive in New Zealand and not a poverty drug. Lots of people smoke recreationally and never progress to anything heavier. But I understand your point in 3rd world countries.
Patsy Hodge .. absolutely right Patsy .. Same here in UK .. the powers keep trying to convince the public that weed/hash is the gateway to stronger drug use, utter BS ... Their constant mantra is so that they don't have to legalise weed, and yet it is an open secret we have a MPs spouse who actually runs and cultivates a weed farm !! I have known many many people's over the years that have smoked/still are and NEVER gone down the opiate trail to destruction .....
Problem with the increase of drug addiction and usage of harder drugs comes from social settings and peer pressure, not "cannabis abuse." These poverty stricken places look for more intense highs on the cheap (which Heroin does) and when your have peers around you in the same setting using heroin, of course the pressure to do so is unsettling in this type of environment. Cool report but cannabis usage is not clear cut as a gate way drug or a "starter drug" for harder ones. Misinformation.
David Maughan I smoked a whole big joint full of strong weed in just a few minutes. I felt terribly dehydrated, I asked people for water on the streets, and I felt extremely dizzy and sick. I was very scared so I called the emergencies and they made me spend the night at hospital.
Addiction is a sentence and stages of relapses but eventually life starts becoming precious and meaningful. To all those who look down or think is one's own fault.... Never judge the shoes another person is struggling with as addiction and mental illness goes hand in hand. An addict may get disrespected by many, but guaranteed one thing will be they would never wish the curse of addiction towards the haters!!!!! Everyone is precious to somebody....

The US take control of the poppy fields in Afghanistan and there's a world wide opioid/opium/heroin epidemic 🤔🤔🤔
Not over here anymore. Heroine is out here and all other opioids are on prescription only. Our main concern is GHB and speed in all forms. Cocaine is still in use but far too expensive for most. Especially GHB is a big problem over here. It is very cheap and one can make it at home easy. We also have the premiere in meth at the moment in Moerdijk. The police found a lab on an inland freighter of 86x9 meters (Dortmunder). First known in the world. The ship was even booby trapped because when the police started their investigation a pump was started remotely to sink the ship. Luckily the police found the pump in time and were able to stop it.

um you can get hooked on cannabis. Just because there are minimal, if any, withdrawal effects, doesn't mean you can't become dependent on it.
yeah, whatever, dude.
u sure can !

I remember my detox, I wanted to die,but I thought of my grown kids who said they were not seeing me because when I died it would be easier!!! That was 7 years ago, 7 years of very hard work, many tears and hate for my addiction. Now I am so happy and have my kids and grand kids again and I try to be a power of example for people who are still using. I've buried so many friends this year wasted kives. Please remember God doesn't want you to be like this. Prayers for all who are suffering. I'm in the USA and it's bad.
I like how the Anti Narcotics Force conveniently finds an entire cargo container full of drugs when the film crew is visiting them. Also the only real issue of Pakistan and the rest of the world is Heroin not cannabis.
Z K : FACTS.....& dem same Anti Narcotics Force dats bringing da drugs threw da front door & out da back 2 b ship 2 all da countries around da globe...
heroin also isn't the real issue, opiates used correctly in the right dosage is very safe, its the the massive corruption across western elite establishments and there fact that they've prohibited drugs which that brings devastation and desperation, that's the real issue here, them children can buy any drug on the street without knowing the purity, had it be legal they wouldnt be able to use till they were 18 anyway and if they did become addicted as an adult then they would be clean drugs in safe dosages with clean needles. heroin is NOT the problem, the war on drugs is far more dangerous than heroin and just so you know, I'm a heroin addict for 4 years, I know what I'm talking about and have done masses of research on the subject of the war on drugs because of ,my situation, but I know about heroin personally and in a controlled environment the dangers are very limited, while at the moment there are masses of dangers because its so in controlled
Cannabis can be just as harmful as heroin. It's all in the user not the chemical.
Totally agree with Humanforfreedom95. Prohibition is the real harm. no education or regulation of any kind is what Prohibition brings. It doesn't stop people getting the drugs and makes a life of crime and drug dealing highly lucrative.
completely false

there must be...
it's truly heartbreaking because hiv is a virus with a vicious talent. it has the ability to go latent in an infected host. so if these young men are using hiv positive needles and they contract the virus, it can appear asymptomatic and continue to do so for more than a decade. without knowing they even have it they can unknowingly pass it from person to person.
in general it is devastating to see such young people addicted to this poison. makes me want to do anything in my power to help them...
HIV is harmless
We face the same issues world wide
So we need to come together world wide.

Big mistake!!! Their addiction started with CIGARETTES.!!
Vyas Chady how so
Addiction starts slowly and gradually. It always starts from a cup of coffee per day, then two, three and four and then you develop an urge for smoking, then a fold of weed and then you get high and high and even higher.
@@mustafafarah9083 not neccesarily.

That father at 10:28 just made me cry when he tells his son to let love grow in his heart. What a young boy already in drugs its so heartbreaking!!!
"Hooked on cannabis" lmao come on
Cannabis is not a addicting drug by nature but the simplest way to smoke hash (which is the most common form of cannabis in Pakistan) is to mix it with the tobacco in cigarettes which are physically and psychologically addictive.
GoVir4l no, it's not accurate. It's the heroin that's addictive. That's like saying "heroin and needles" are addictive, needles aren't part of the equation.
Weed is extremely habit forming to the point where some people feel as though can't function without it. Any psychoactive substance can form some type of addiction to the point where it negatively impacts on a persons well being. A lot of people who smoke pot can't sleep or eat properly without it.
Anything which is "pleasurable" to the brain can form an addiction.
I was hooked on cannabis for 25 years. Come on, as you say.
50 cents that'll be like cheaper than chocolates
True comfort does not come from the physical world. The soul is spiritual. The body is physical. Two different levels of existence. The physical world will never satisfy the soul.

Been there done that..what a brat
This is a joke. Why not highlight heroin, the more dangerous i the two, instead of some god damned pot.
Marvin Toms exactly
Heroin isn't really that dangerous. The harm within a sub-culture of drug users is usually down to the intentions of the user.
Because it leads from using pot first
It leads from using Alcohol first. Alcohol is lead from using Caffeine. So bottom line....DONT DRINK COFFEE
Marvin Toms no joke because I used pot until they slipped heroine in my smoke and the cold turkey of three months was horrible plus the shame of it
You were right: this is actually really disturbing. Whenever you see flies and whatnot around like this you can be sure that DEATH is on the scene.
Or 💩😔
I wonder if that guy was dead the one that had all these flies in his face
That little boy is so young....his voice hasn't even deepened yet. He's a child but you can see in his eyes that he's seen and experienced more suffering than most adults. Heartbreaking to see those children suffer so much. Addiction has such a huge stigma....and it's 10 times worse in muslim societies. The boy with the father is practically a baby still. Brings tears to my eyes. The people running and working at that treatment center are saints.
Unfortunately true:(
As a practicing muslim Islam forbids each and every type of addiction clearly,The muslim societies do not implement the Islamic Law fully anymore and the result is infront of us

So the rehab is so intense that cutting is a normal reaction? I see a lot of brave kids here and some amazing work but man these people need money. India and Pakistan need to grow up and sign a truce and spend the money they now spend on A-Bombs and the military, on their people. Yes, we in the West can do much more too.

Problem with the increase of drug addiction and usage of harder drugs comes from social settings and peer pressure, not "cannabis abuse."
These poverty stricken places look for more intense highs on the cheap (which Heroin does) and when your have peers around you in the same setting using heroin, of course the pressure to do so is unsettling in this type of environment.
Cool report but cannabis usage is not clear cut as a gate way drug or a "starter drug" for harder ones. Misinformation.
I've been a marijuana user for 35 yrs.
I've never felt the urge to use other drugs , including alcohol.
Also, I can go without it with no ill effects.
