Amen Amen Amen Her talking for the 8 minutes or so while in her office resonated with my soul! Cocaine. Is. The. Devil. AND yes, I know functioning addicts are the worse and YES I KNOW that it wrecks lives something vicious. I also know, the guilt she speaks of and how it tears and eats at you mentally and emotionally all the while the pow is doing that very same thing, just physically 😒😒😔😔🤫🤫
I always think about her saying things like: “I was big fat girl, right daddy?” to her parents on the show. My family also fat shamed me and it messes with you so much. I’m 24 and still feel ambivalent about my body. I can only imagine how much pain Wendy is in, even now. I sincerely hope she’s able to bounce back health-wise from her most recent challenges. 💔
The way you edited this to show that Wendy said all those years ago that she'd never go back to addiction, not even if her marriage broke down, and then to see in the next clip her talking about living in the sober house breaks my heart and brought tears to my eyes. She's had a hell of a ride these last few years. Sending love and prayers to Aunt Wendy and all of those in the battle against themselves. Remember that you are loved and things will get better.
Its funny that people are like "share your own business blah blah" - when shes always been candid about her experiences. I love me some Wendy. Love her down 🙏🌼
I'll never understand why some drug addicts or ex drug addicts get more hate than others. People will turn a blind eye to male rappers doing hard drugs but people like Wendy and Whitney get dragged through the mud. I'm starting to think it's a sex issue.
Wendy is really inspiring. Makes me think I have a power to solve out my problems. I've been struggling with drugs addiction for more than a half of my life. Started at 14 with benzos, went through all the different stuff, spending all my money for this sh!t, so I never had any savings, making excuses for myself. Three times overdosed that much, they had to bring me back to being alive. Had to stop my career as a pro tennis player. Now I'm 30 and I feel like I'm close to being done with it for good. Wendy, you're doing a good job. Thank you for adequately addressing this message and telling how it is.
Don’t give up, please continue to fight. It’s hard but very much worth it to make it out of that dark place and to have life back. I went down the same road as you, but today I’m close to 2 years clean. As u know, it’s far from easy . Lost pretty much everything and had to start all over. Never thought I would be employed full time , living on my own again in a beautiful house and slowly but surely picking up the pieces. I’m grateful everyday for just the simple things in life. I wish u the best , and it can be done!!!
I come back to this vid often to help me. I recently started making more money while still having a substantial amount of time to myself so I feel that old feeling resurfacing. If you’re an addict you know that money and idle time is bad combo. This vid reminds me to stay strong.
Notice when she tells her story about cocaine/crack there’s a story about Whitney Houston in-front of her Whitney’s passing really had an effect on her because she knows it could of been her. 💗
I think it is worse when your a functioninh addict, as your rock bottom is different, i mean its different for everyone you always tell yourself i work my bills are paid everythings fine etc.............till its not.
Currently watching this while under the influence of my drug of choice. Been to rehab 4 times, since 2018. I love my drug so much but I hate it .. but I am so depressed because of it. It's horrible. Sometimes I rather just die. Why go to rehab again when I failed 4 times before
its because you're not totally ready i guess. You need to be actually wanting it to drop it, and see it as the devil that it is. You're not there yet. Plus you need to get rid of everyone that enables you. Are you religious? You have hobbies? Try to find positive people to influence you, actual positive people, not ones who pat you on the back, or on youtube give you PC speeches and bad advice.
What are y'all thoughts on wendys recent truths? Im thinking maybe the pills opened a new addiction since she has been clean of coke for like over 20 years now.
As a fellow addict I could tell she was struggling. I’m so happy she is getting help. It’s a day to day battle & if she opened the door to opiates (I know her DOC was coke before) than it will be even more difficult than anyone can imagine. I fight day by day to stay away from heroin. It robs you of your soul, dignity, & dreams. I’m still putting the pieces of my life back together and every once in awhile I fall back but I won’t ever let this kill me. Thank you Wendy for helping remove some of the stigma & thank you Dillon for putting this together. People need to know they aren’t alone so we can stop suffering in silence. God bless...

Bianca it’s a vicious circle ⭕️. You clean up and the guilt of the things you did or did not do is so overwhelming that you relapse. I know the struggle and God is the only reason I’m still here. Stay strong and so will I. God bless...
I'm so glad I found your channel thanks to this video here!! I've always liked Wendy but her honest coverage of her addiction and relapse and time in a sober home have me falling in love with her! I'm a sober woman, I feel her struggle! Everything she says regarding the subject is 100!!! And God bless her for it!!🙏 and God bless you for sharing this wonderful !message!! #soberwomanclub
Have been reprimanded by my family during the Holidays my past addiction and I am very grateful to stumble upon Wendy's story. I'm still going back and forth mentally on starting again or maintaining sobriety and Wendy powerfully struck. Thank you
It's crazy the periods of denial addiction brings. Personally if you have an addictive personality you need to stay clear of anything that alters your already altered mind. Point blank & period. It's hell. But worth it. Clean living only. An addiction is not only genetic a big factor is what you have experienced from birth to adulthood. It's very difficult to get well when you are in a toxic environment. The struggle is real hard, never ending until your day's end. There are bad periods but there are also great amazing fantastic periods in this beautiful life and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. People that say if I could go back I'd it all again! Bullshit! That's still denial. No one in their right mind would go back and do it all again. They'd do it different. And live their best life possible. Do it now people.
While I was watching this, I wasn't crying - I was just really misty. The topic, the editing, the stories from the other people included in this video and finally, Wendy - all that hit a little close to home. I love you Wendy and I understand you completely!
Michael Hart Hi Michael! I just wanted you to know that Jesus Christ loves you so much. Please give your life to Him. He can change your whole life! Read Romans 10:9. I will pray for you.
This was great to watch n very positive to see. I’m in recovery and next month will be 2 years clean for me. I still don’t believe I let myself go to that dark place n I often have to remind myself that addiction can affect anyone. We never know who may be dealing with this monster, and my experience has given me such a different humbleness n appreciation for life. My heart goes out Wendy and I pray she wins her battle.
Btw, when she's ready to talk about this, we'll be ready to listen. I think until then, though, we should really respect her privacy. This is some real ass shit she's obviously going through rn. We love you Aunt Wendy. 💜💜💜
Yet ANOTHER reason I love Wendy. We have the same way of feeling about having NO REGRETS about the stupidest/deadliest crap we've done(TO ourselves and our family/loved ones). It made us who we are today. Would I have done it differently- if I had to do it again? SURELY WOULD. But no "regrets"- never!!
Wendy williams I will pray for you may God in his grace help you recover from your addiction and one day you will sing this song "I won't go back" may the good Lord heal you,freed you from everything in your past in the name of Jesus.
Eerie to hear her say that nothing would bring her back to drugs... not even divorce or marriage issues. Ugh. Hope Wendy gets better. She has been clean for many years.
I worked in some high class restaurants and it snowed coke. Remember the bullets? PORTABLE DEVICES FILLED WITH COKE SO U COULD TAKE IT INTHE RESTROOM and snort in a pinch. Always free. Sadly, I lost someone I LOVED SO MUCH. He only did a quarter but the sellers admitted it was cut. Death/tears.
DILLON!! Wendy &/or her peeps should give YOU a job! You are amazing! I love YOU cuz you wear your "How you doin' " fandom PROUDLY....and KNOW UR STUFF! 👏👏
Wendy you're a beautiful lady...The ancestors say do what you gotta do to be happy and live your life...You deserve to live a happy healthy life...But most of all you deserve to be loved and respected! 🆗️💯
thank you for sharing your candidness here, Wendy. PRAYING FOR YOU AS YOU ENDURE YOUR STRUGGLE W/ DIVORCE and all it entails - strain on emotions, mind, spirit. Wendy, you could be menopausing as well which is normal for women in fifties of age. menopause can make one excessively emotional, sensitive and quick to cry. mine was a breeze, i prayed to God, The Creator of human anatomy therefore He understands its workings. i was happy to relieve my life of menses; i had no hot flashes, mood swings, etc. it just went and 'flow' stopped! THANK YOU, LORD GOD JESUS! people, be compassionate for Wendy and offer up PRAYERS!
Good for you Aunt Wendy! Takes courage! This helps so many you know it! Definitely has helped me I can't thank you enough beautiful lady.. God bless you... Smart smart women!
She’s really touched my feelings today.. I’m smoking my cigarette w my pi pe.. it’s a mixed feelings I love you Wendy I really hope you’re okay i really do
Thank you Wendy Was she your story for being so real thank you god bless you and also for the amazing show is fantastic and great keep it up I love you I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🙏🙏👍🏾👍🏾😘greetings from Precynthia Matt
I haven’t touched my drug of choice for just over five months 😭... please send prayers.

Rozz Emz stay strong love u can do it
Many blessings to you sista
Seven small months for me and it's a struggle but I am so very happy!!!
I think her issues run deeper than the drugs. I think they go all the way back to her childhood.
I always think about her saying things like: “I was big fat girl, right daddy?” to her parents on the show. My family also fat shamed me and it messes with you so much. I’m 24 and still feel ambivalent about my body. I can only imagine how much pain Wendy is in, even now. I sincerely hope she’s able to bounce back health-wise from her most recent challenges. 💔
it usually does

Did she actually take drugs tho or did she go to the sober house as a precaution? I think she was drinking but not sure about coke
I believe she just went for alcoholism not for coke....
A double date with Mary J & Kendu and Wendy & Kelvin... 2 accomplished self-made women and the cheating, loser men who almost destroyed them.
This couldn’t have come at a better time... thx Dillon! :)
And that's why he did it! Shout out to my @Dillon family!!!!

Addiction doesn't discriminate...it takes hold of anyone. Normally always takes strong, Intelligent and creative people.
💯 not race not class not gender not sexualty n ppl have that so fuked up!!!
Thanks for saying this
Man this hits different in 2024
Thank you Wendy for always bringing awareness to addictions.
There are so many rumors out about her right now. I just hope she pulls through this difficult time.
5 Months Sober 🙏🏾 Pray For Me. Some Days I Crave It But I Try To Keep My Mind Occupied So I Won’t Slip Back But It’s Hard
Stay Strong!!!
we love you!!

😂 When she did the " Bobby Brown mouth" I nearly choked on my water 😂
This is actually really sad! I pray for everyone’s recovery. If you need a sign this is it, please get help!
Dillon, I see how much work you put into these for your subscribers. Thank you!
This hits different now.. 😥
It’s such a blessing that there’s so much documentation of her being so honest and truthful. It touches souls and is a real legacy.
My opinion Wendy Williams is brave to come out & talk about her addiction & I commend her & again I love her for being fierce
I think it is worse when your a functioninh addict, as your rock bottom is different, i mean its different for everyone you always tell yourself i work my bills are paid everythings fine etc.............till its not.
Praying for all struggling with an addiction ❤️
Thank you
She invaded people's privacy but probably saved some life's on the way. Wendy is a real one.
I love you Wendy. ❤️
You shared your light and strength, wisdom, humor & experience with the world.
its sad that so many stars have drug problems
They are still people. Humans
5 years off coke for me
Currently watching this while under the influence of my drug of choice. Been to rehab 4 times, since 2018. I love my drug so much but I hate it .. but I am so depressed because of it. It's horrible. Sometimes I rather just die. Why go to rehab again when I failed 4 times before

I love Wendy through it all ❤❤
I pray she finds and accepts help for herself
Keep up the good fight Wendy
❤❤❤
Same here🙏🏾
Criticism aside, her struggle has the ability to help so many - I pray she wins x
I miss her
I hope Wendy gets better again. Thank you Dillon, as always.

Is it cause of the pain killers like oxycontin?
Perfect timing as always, thank you so much Dillon !! Love you

That talk at the 19 minute mark opened my ears. I feel for her
Thank you Dillon!
