People can be so cruel and judgmental. When people say, “zero sympathy for addicts” or, “you 100% caused your own problem,” I want them to see stories like this and say, “What about someone who tries drugs to fit in with his Mom and Dad?” It’s sweet that he finally used his mom’s experience to help get clean. I hope he is doing well & if not, I hope he always gets back up.
Dude made it a point to turn out a different person than his parents were and he did it. This guy has way more determination and positive outlook than anyone from his past did. Really solid dude I hope he helps others like him get treated!
@@yankeejumbo yes I feel you it's so fucking annoying I try to stop every day during the week saying this weekend going to be different but then by Sunday I've been loaded friday sat and sundays. It worries me .
This is a great example of why we don't shoot our wounded in recovery. God always prevails and opens doors for us only we can close. Much respect to this guy for not closing the doors and walking through to true recovery. God's speed my brother!!!! and its a great day to be clean and sober...
I love these stories! They are so encouraging! I would love to get some follow up videos from some of the past people who were interviewed. I'm sure I speak for a lot of others who also want to hear about how they are doing recently.
This is why parents should be there and not just focus on material things. This guy just wants TO BELONG. At times that goal is stronger than anything. I know that feeling.I may not be on drugs but wanting to belong is my journey too.
I am happy that he was able to push through with the help of his mom's love and experience. It is such a pity that people does not have sympathy. Everyone of us have different experiences in life, we need to sympathize and understand what they are going through.
Thank you and I love your story. I believe it may help my son because you remind me so much of him. He is currently in rehab and will be 23 in January. Thank you so much and God Bless You!!!
Much love, encouragement and support are needed from family members. We should be judgemental. We should try walking a mile in someone else shoe and see if we can do better. You're a strong guy. Remain forever sober.
you should play a game my friends and I stole from a website. The game is watch the movie “The Dirt” bout motley Crüe on Netflix and snort a line every time someone in the movie does.
Sometimes making friends with the wrong people makes one not to see the truth. Glad he realized the error of his ways and find solution quickly to get his life back.
Your story is a great lesson for others. Parents are advised to love their children and guide them well. Congratulations at your recovery. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this story. This is so amazing story. you have a lot to offer. God's speed my brother, and its a great day to be clean and sober. Thanks
My RECOVERY STARTS TOMMOROW I CAN FINALLY START A NEW LIFE WITHOUT HEROIN AND MORPHINE IM FINALLY ACCEPTED I NEED HELP AFTER FUCKING UP 30YRS OF MY LIFE. BUT GODS GOT ME NOW JUST LIKE THIS BROTHERS TESTIMONY AMEN
I wouldn't say you had an unfortunate childhood but a very hard one and had to learn the hard way, wish landed you in all this mess. But I am glad that despite how low you were, you were still able to dust yourself up and make a better life for yourself. I congratulate you for the courage despite all.
Very sad to hear about your childhood. I understand the feeling of trying to fit in and the fact that you wanted to. It would have been really difficult having parents in 2 different worlds of their own. Despite all it is a good thing you had the strength to change things for yourself and become clean.
These stories of addiction are very inspirational for all of us and also for the people who are addicted with anything,They should learn from this video that how to live without addicted with anything.
We are capable of doing mistakes . people can judge everyone else but what is more important is we were able to change for the better. Anyone deserves a second chance in life.
Great story, very honest and I see god working through you. You help others and carry this message, you have a lot to offer. Be good to yourself and know god is with you every step of the way. God bless 🙏🏼
I was around people shooting up all around me and I never wanted to do it too. Even though I'm not afraid of needles at all due to donating plasma with a giant needle. Shooting up is way too much work and leaves marks on your skin for the world to see.
I was in sped classes too. I do think that some of the kids I was in sped with likely didn’t even need to be in sped and were unnecessarily placed and misdiagnosed. Trauma signs often mimic other medical conditions like ADHD and learning difficulties.
For me instead going to gang it is better to be close more to your family because they are the one will help you the most. Family are the best people will help you in terms of bad and good times in your life they will advice you what is the best for you especially if you do wrong for sure the will help you.
I hate all that AA NA whatever A talk. Just do it. All they do is get addicted to those meetings and that life style. There’s all kinds of crap that goes on. Most of them are sober and keep acting like drug addicts so there’s really no change in them
I don't believe that. some of my hardest times god carried me. when my very young son was killed in a hit and run I gave it to god and he did get me through it. you have to have faith for good things to happen. god bless
I smoked my whole life only did molly once closest thing to a drug always did psychedelics never did I touch drugs because I HAD THE CHOICE and I chose no every time I’m not better than but that’s fact you can’t blame doing meth by starting with a PLANT

This guy is such a good/solid dude. You can tell
100% good soul surrounded by bad situations and people. He did what he had to do to belong in his environment. Glad he got out.
I love these movies to be honest they are calming and make me think twice before sticking s needle in my arm sometimes.
Andy Bonnell that’s so awesome
same they help me reflect a little bit on my decisions that ive made in the past but nothing ever really stops me in the moment. :/
@@yankeejumbo yes I feel you it's so fucking annoying I try to stop every day during the week saying this weekend going to be different but then by Sunday I've been loaded friday sat and sundays. It worries me .
Subs saved me.

Much love, encouragement and support are needed from family members. We should be judgemental. We should try walking a mile in someone else shoe and see if we can do better. You're a strong guy. Remain forever sober.
It pained me how his mother made him go back to drugs. No one should make us go do drugs, not anyone
I love how I'm watching these while breaking up lines

Solid,strong and determined that all I can say about him. Quit a relief to know he got better.

His parents were badly addicted from drugs. And, he then too get fantasized by those activities but great that he is back normal now.
I keep learning from these stories . Thanks for always putting them on here.
Glad you like them!

Very honest and one hell of a speaker.

So much love for you bro. God is great 🙏
If you still live in Az maybe I’ll see you around one day

This is an inspiring story. Thank you for sharing. Stay strong Ricky!
WE appreciate that! We hope we can help !
There is a need for complete overhauling of our prisons. In fact, the prison officials inclusive because they also aid and abbet evils in our prisons.
Being part of a gang has no benefit. The members tends to mislead you down the wrong path. Happy that he finds his way back on time.
I was around people shooting up all around me and I never wanted to do it too. Even though I'm not afraid of needles at all due to donating plasma with a giant needle. Shooting up is way too much work and leaves marks on your skin for the world to see.
Good testimony
Such a great guy, loved his story! God bless
I was in sped classes too. I do think that some of the kids I was in sped with likely didn’t even need to be in sped and were unnecessarily placed and misdiagnosed. Trauma signs often mimic other medical conditions like ADHD and learning difficulties.
Our hope is that someone sees these stories and decides not to give up or to start.
The truth cannot be hidden. It will definitely surface.
Yeah Gang can blind you to anything or keep you away from one can help you. But the good thing is that you are fine now
This so true hang life does shield u from truth
This dudes a real one
thanks for sharing your story brother keep it up
In as much as I don't want to be judgemental. One should be careful with peer pressure. Isolate oneself can be a cause of addiction too
good dude, keep that "good", shit up up up up...
For me instead going to gang it is better to be close more to your family because they are the one will help you the most. Family are the best people will help you in terms of bad and good times in your life they will advice you what is the best for you especially if you do wrong for sure the will help you.
Lmao watching this while smoking blues....
I like weed
I wonder is that how he met dad in prison
Fax ......plz put me up top
This is a very pathetic story. Sometimes realizing the effects of our past comes later in life. Glad he is happy now.
Prop200???? Sounds sus. I smell something. You have all that dope and they release you?? WoW. You must have some good luck man. Stay clean!!
Peer group, its the biggest influencers when it comes to drug abuse and cultism. Its simply better to stay away from bad association.
Please tell me the story ends that he walked away from all this.
Look how handsome you are now! Keep it real. 😃
This guy seems like a really good/cool guy. Anyone know his name/fb
Hes just reciting a lot of 12 step literature and terminology. Dont get too excited
Jon Dillehay Soo what. He's sober and that's what counts. You bitch
fuck i gotta quit the nicotine
How u beat a heroine charge with a past

God doesn't fix real problems.
I don't believe that. some of my hardest times god carried me. when my very young son was killed in a hit and run I gave it to god and he did get me through it. you have to have faith for good things to happen. god bless
@@aliciadeforge8999 It's not true mate, I suffer from depression and had faith and God doesn't just magically pull you out of it.
'Back Problems' love it. Stay the course.
@Jrtankkify Like to see you try
@Jrtankkify Obviously referring to how you're gonna prove it, keep up
I smoked my whole life only did molly once closest thing to a drug always did psychedelics never did I touch drugs because I HAD THE CHOICE and I chose no every time I’m not better than but that’s fact you can’t blame doing meth by starting with a PLANT
Does this fucking channel have t do a cut every seconds?
People who blame there addiction on weed saying thats how it started are pathetic
