FENTANYL POISONING: Survivor Chelsea Chanslor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2023
- Chelsea Chanslor has experienced at least 14 fentanyl overdoses, most revived with Naloxone. Chelsea and her mother share their experiences, struggles, and lessons learned in this educational documentary.
Naloxone, the active ingredient in 4mg Narcan and higher dose 8mg Kloxxado, along with many generic versions, can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available for free. Google it.

“Just cause your sober doesn’t mean life stops being a bitch..” That part……💯💯💯💯
Wow so depressing. BUT, each day she stays sober, her brain WILL adjust and she will be able to feel real joy once again. ❤ Wishing her strength and peace. Good mom she's got there!
I can completely relate to some of this. She's a miracle and incredibly lucky to have you!
Unfortunately most people are truly never happy afterwards. It kills your natural serotonin so badly. I find that I stay in a depressive state after 6 years clean.
God bless you sweet girl🙏🏼❤️
@@sidneystevensonbaggettjr.2445do you know JESUS? If you don't, try HIM. HE died for you too. HE LOVES YOU. You can become a new creature in CHRIST and HE will change you 180°,he did me, instantly. I was a crazy raging alcoholic for nearly 38 years and HE saved me from all my bondages. God Bless you.
Absolutely agree!!
The way Chelsea describes “how getting to the top is a different perspective for everyone” and that touched me because what some people may look down on may be another person’s highest goal to bring their life to a point where they can make it and provide a lifestyle for themselves that doesn’t involve struggling to make it day by day. It’s very obvious that she has a purpose in this life after all the damage she’s been through physically and mentally. I hope she can comprehend that and the statistics she has miraculously overcome. This is your moment Chelsea… we see you and hear you and pray for all the people you are going to help save by sharing your story.
Ty so much for your amazing words of encouragement 🙏
This is so powerful…..one day at a time Chelsea…you are so strong…you are here for a reason…you survived all this and deserve to live your life free from demons and be happy. Wishing you and your sister all the best in your continued recovery. Your Mom is such a strong woman for being so invested in your lives and having you healthy. Stick with it.
that mom is tough
Ty. I’m tired. Very tired. 🙏❤️
@@colleenchanslor1135🥺
Yea❤
YES SHE IS ! 💯 GOD BLESS HER! I WISH I HAD A MOM LIKE HER ‼️❤
7 years sober here I went from nothing to my truck and car are paid for now and my house is also paid for.
So sad she is such a beautiful girl. I hope you stay strong
Just keep going honey, one minute, one hour or one day at a time. I’m 30 years sober and didn’t ever think I’d survive, but here I am still upright and still trekking. I went through the death of my mother, the suicide of 2 of my brothers and then 5 years ago the death of my husband of 39 years…. Man the pain has been so bad and at a lot of times I’ve wanted to just die, so I hear you lovely. To stay alive and clean you’ll need to revisit all the crap once and for all, not fun but necessary for life. I still even after all this time don’t do life easily, for me life is like an I’ll fitting coat that I’m not overly comfortable in, if you can understand that. But I’ll just do today and do the best I can. So precious don’t give up on yourself, you’ve got tonnes of amazing adventures ahead with your daughter, so don’t rob either of you of them. I believe your here to bless others. Love and blessings from Tasmania Australia 🥰
I AM PRAYING for you also. I am an addict. Been clean now for about 10 years. God it is so hard. But just one day at a time like you said. I dont know ya but I love ya and will pray for you every day. But for the grace of god there go I.
A huge hug to you. You are an inspiration
👊🏻
Sending you prayers and big hugs. That's so much to go through and my heart goes out to you!! Stay strong, your inspiration 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This poor mother. 😢
I know what a hellish life for her...I thank GOD my 3 have never struggled with addiction. They're 30, 26 & 21 I'll always pray for thier protection.🙏🏻
Ty 🙏. I have to stay strong for them. I’ll never turn my back on them.
Only thing that saved me from that drug was someone lighting me on fire in my sleep on the streets. Was hospitalized for 6 months and have been sober ever since. Blessing in disguise? Maybe.
I’m so sorry that is what it took. Sometimes God gives a Swift Strong kick in the Butt. 🙏❤️
Same kinda things just happened to me!! I'd been secretly taking it almost a year, bcuz SEVERE pain I'm in with my body!! I've been thru many surgeries and medical problems. It's not been an easy road. Well I've felt horrible for few months!! I TRULY BELIEVE it's that shit that POISON!! I ended up with pneumonia in my left lung 🫁. The dr said I'm very lucky i had a nasty nasty pneumonia that infection went out into my blood system almost taking me out!! I never once shot it or anything ever said I never will and I stood by that! By snorting or just under my tongue 👅 that's how the shit got into my system 😡😡. I truly believe I'm here in the hospital now bcuz that crap!! Almost lost my life , I still have children. Not grown up yet. 😢😢I'm DONE dr needs to help me with better pain control. That's what's wrong with this country. Drs get u hooked on shit then drop u, why soo many turn to addiction 😢
That’s horrible .
Trial by fire indeed..live life
Yes BLESSING in disguise
As a ex drug addict i can totally relate i was doing major drugs for good 15 yrs many overdoses etc now i have 8 yrs clean and cant imagine leaving my kids behind...keep up the sobriety Chelsea
People in recovery that we talk to tend to be quick to point out that there's no such thing as an "ex" addict.
@@TexasPicturesagree, but only if they are a new creature in JESUS CHRIST, born again, that's the only way.
@@TexasPicturesI agree. Clean and sober since 1983 but I know that complacency and compromise are sure steps to a fall.
This broke my heart. My best friend didn’t survive fentanyl and hearing stories like these makes me realize she didn’t stand a chance. Fentanyl will either take your life or that drug will hold on to you and not want to let go. May God bless Chelsea and her family.
So sorry about your best friend sweetie 🙏❤️
Addiction starts in pain and ends in pain, I am so happy she found a way to recover.
I alway tell my teenagers even weed is not safe..it is in everything..God protect our children
Safe with health benefits of you cook and eat. Smoking is bad
@@celsustruth8202I think she's referring to people lacing weed with fentanyl because that's definitely happening
As a parent I wonder what her childhood was like? what role did their fathers play in their lives? Little girls are so precious, be there guys, love and support them. Their youth is the foundation of the rest of their lives.
Addiction doesn’t discriminate.There are amazing parents who raised their children with love and despite that they become addicted .
it could happen to anyone. Let go of your resentments
Ray is right, children DO need a mother & a father. Yes addiction can hit anyone but the breakdown of the nuclear family is the cause of the bigger problems. As a society it greatly effects us all negatively. God meant for families to stay together & it is His institution: father, mother, children with God above all, which is the main problem-turning away from God/Jesus Christ and living in unrepentant sin. I’m speaking for myself here too.
Our country used to be Christian with prayer & acknowledged God/Jesus Christ as a whole but has turned its back on God. By removing prayer from schools, calling evil good and good evil, putting absolute filth in all media, removing accountability & giving validation to every whim of the imagination that is opposed to the truth, going against the way God created us all & letting chaos & darkness grow to the level is is today. Thankfully, however, this won’t continue for much longer & Jesus will return and set all things right. So i urge is all to please repent, let us ask Jesus for forgiveness for all of our sins & let us all call on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives today.
I'm in recovery myself your the true definition of someone who don't have a clue the grip of addiction hon as on someone hopefully you'll never have to experience a loved 1 dying b4 your eyes..... everyone is 100% correct when they say addiction doesn't discriminate I personally know kids who've come from perfect parents so it's NOT always the parents maybe you should do your homework on the power of addiction
Suboxone makes you still look high. I did it for years and didn’t realize it. I got sick of that as well and realized just how strong suboxone was. I would rather every addict be on it rather than them be at risk. Then when they are ready to stop the suboxone they can get a shot of only the blocker part of suboxone without they opiate antagonist if they are worried about a possible relapse. I make 2 years in less than a month for the first time in my life I’m off any and all substances.
So proud of you 🙏❤️
Colleen, what are the odds that I am a mother of two daughters who are both addicts. I feel your pain, I feel your hope. much love and peace to you, Chelsea keep on keeping on ❤✌🏼🤍🇨🇦
I just want to let you know that this video is exactly what I needed. You said things that I honestly can relate to so much. I'm going to rehab tomorrow. Ty so much, Chelsea
Your story might have just saved my life❤
How ya doing love??
🙏🏾
I hope you went through with going and that you’re on your road to recovery! ❤️
Hope you're doing well, keep pushing forward. You got this beautiful
Stay strong we got this
Keep going Chelsea!
she survived with no physical damage. she's blessed. my abuse left me alive but disabled. #NMOSD
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bless your heart honey. I am happy your alive. My granddaughter Victoria is a victim of Fentanyl poisoning 😢
I am happy you have a story to tell.
Sad
The overdose after the abortion is so sad soon as I heard the beach & the baby . 😢😢
Glad to see a survivor story. I sincerely hope it stays that way. Glad she has services.
We also have a series of recovery stories in our playlists. This story is in there too.
@@TexasPicturesthank you so much for posting all of your videos on RUclips.
Finding any rehabilitation that can or will take people with fentanyl addiction is so hard to find. We need more resources to find rehabs that can and will take care of people with fentanyl addiction ❤
This girl truly has nine lives .
Chelsea the Cat .
But , a very good survivor’s story - thank you .
As a recovering addict with 7+ years clean I love this woman so much. Sending so much love and light to you Chelsea. Even on your worst day, it is so much better on this side of things. I’m so proud of you. It’s so cliche but “we do recover”. N.A. was and still is one of my greatest gifts. I have a core group who I can call at any given moment. I don’t go as much as I should for sure BUT when I feel crazy I know where I can go without judgement. Keep doing what you’re doing sister. You deserve to be happy and healthy. Your son needs a happy, healthy mom.
For some reason Stories like this make me feel bittersweet, especially for those that died without knowing they were taking fentanyl 😢 Here we have someone who OD’ed 15 times and is still here. Whereas on the other hand we have people like those 2 teen boys the mom mentioned, who smoked a joint not knowing fentanyl was in it and ended up gone forever. It’s sad that drugs cause us to take life for granted and literally try to OD only to be brought back. Rather than cherish our 2nd chance we continue trying & trying to overdose.
Hugs for everyone on this journey, it gets easier. 17 yrs clean July 2023.
She is so beautiful and real without the drugs.
So glad she realized it’s not worth it anymore.
Word up
she is on drugs, she is intoxicated
@@hotwax761She may be medicated for this interview! Stop spewing toxic comments.
In the bible it talks about the cloud of witnesses I believe that the curly haired little girl she walked with on the beach was her baby. ❤ I had a near death experience I had almost died on acid (yes, you can die on acid) and I laid back in the ambulance and said "Jesus" this white light came over me it was Jesus. Just letting you know Chelsea I was also molested and Jesus took me through inner healing and let me know he was with me through it all. God can heal you to the point you feel as though those traumatic things NEVER happened. God bless you all for bringing awareness to the dangers of drugs. ❤
Naw. It’s probably symbolic of her younger self
I too came to know and experience Jesus, God gives us these testimonies to His goodness. Prayers and blessings to all!
She said she felt it was the child she aborted. So I feel she knows better than us.
Amen! I had a very bad trip on acid at 16, and I never used drugs again after that. I am a Christian now, and have had personal experiences with Jesus later in life. History proves all He said was true. I wanted to kill myself most of my life. Jesus is amazing and truly God. I am 41 now, and I do not suffer from the extreme mental pain that I had since I was saved 8 years ago.
Hi Shannon what an amazing experience Jesus loved you so much He appeared to you in the ambulance and healed you inside your body My heart breaks for all these young woman but especially for their mama who is doing everything she can for her daughters She is the epitome of the name Mother !!
Lord I pray for this family Lord that you would touch these four daughters and heal them inside so they don’t need to be on drugs anymore Lord I also pray for this dear mother whom I’m sure doesn’t have a moment of peace Give her strength Lord… Heal the whole family of these addictions and we give you all the praise and the glory Amen ! Amen ! Amen 🙏 Your in my thoughts and prayers
Chelsea I want to tell you I am so proud of you and how resilient you are. Stories like yours need to be heard. You are so strong and you can do this. I have a brother who struggles with addiction and has since he was very young and he is 43 and still sstruggling. Most people don’t understand those that struggle with this has had hard trauma. I been there I know what your feeling. I haven’t struggled with total addiction in your way but I have in other ways. I lost custody of my 4 children and have severe mental illnesses. I am always here for you hunny. Much love to you
So sad, but happy because she's alive and sober!! It's not easy getting sober and staying sober takes a lot of work. ❤
This is the most raw and transparent story I've heard from a survivor. I pray that Chelsea continues to have supportive people around her to help her deal with and heal from her childhood trauma. Addiction never just comes out of the blue, there's a reason why someone turns to drugs or alcohol so addressing the root cause is what will help turn them around & it sounds like she's doing just that. So glad for her & her family that she'sstill here. I'm sure she will make a great mom to her son & have a wonderful testimony. ❤🙏🏾♥️
Chelsea I truly believe you are here for a reason. There are very few that would have survived what you’ve been through. I’m praying for you. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
As someone who struggles with trauma daily I understand how she feels. I'm glad she is sharing her story with others to spread awareness as well as hope. Sending my heart to her and her family. ❤
You got this girl keep going, keep pushing your way thru this. My oldest son 34 is addicted to meth & my 33yr son is addicted to meth & heroin I am afraid every night I'm gonna get a call or the police will be at my door it's a feeling of pure heart breaking fear. Everyday your clean is another day of life & another day your mom doesn't have that fear. You are a beautiful woman keep going.
Its a beautiful thing to see someone come out the other side and be able to tell their OWN story, instead of a loved one mourning them ❤
Chelsea keep going for you and your son
I want to give her a big hug 🥺
I’ll give her one. And tell her it’s from you ty 🙏❤️
So grateful you woke up. For you, your family and especially your mom. Stay strong! My daughter struggled. Went through very similar as you. 10 years. Narcan multiple times. Her baby boy aborted himself at 6 months from an overdose and she abanded him at the hospital without a name. Thats when I knew she was really lost to the it. . she would use M, H then it escalated to F...finally she gave herself endocarditis and passed in January 2023 after 2 weeks in a coma. I hope she was on a cloud before she passed as well. Stay strong ❤
Geez, I'm so sorry! That's horrible.
@@matthewleonard386 thank you 🫶🏼 it is horrible. It's alot to share too. I just wanted someone reading it to see how hard it is to overcome this addiction and how when you make it out on the other side like Chelsea, it's truly a new lease on life. Chelsea has done something unbelievably hard to do. This addiction is powerful and swallows you up. (Maybe you know, I dunno) I've been raising my 18 year old grandson, my daughters first child over 10 years now. This was a nightmare for everyone. I would give anything to trade places and give her one more chance.
I’m sooooo sorry you lost your daughter from this horrible drug.may she rip. Bigggg hugs 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🦋🇨🇦🦋💪💪💪🦋💜💜💜💜💜
Oh my god
Chelsea I'm so proud of you! I know the struggle all to well. I'm also a recovering addict. This month I celebrated 5 years! It takes a very strong person to share their story to help others! I wish you a happy life!❤😊
I lost my best-friend and her boyfriend to fentanyl last year. Life will never be the same, it’s an evil that roams right up under our nose.
She’s gorgeous! Good luck and stay strong. ✌️
Thank you 🙏🏼
@@chelseac8826I’m from Australia. Can I write to you?
@@chelseac8826Stay strong Chelsea. One day at a time. The past is gone (no to toxic shame). 🙏🌸
"No matter what" is unconditional love and respect. So healing, if you haven't experienced or internalised before. Keep growing, keep healing! All the best to both sisters! And everyone else dealing with addiction and especially opioid use disorder.
U really are a inspiration to me I have been battling heroin and opiods and I pray I beat it and dont die out here and God blessed me and changes my life i know God is good and me he have mercy on and change my life but may God bless you...
Shawn, I pray the Lord will raise you up and free you from the bodage of your addiction. The Holy Spirit is with you. Stay strong. Keep praying 🙏
God is the power that saves you..keep going forward.
My heart goes out to this family. It can happen to anyone. It really can. That mother truly made me heart for her because we can't just fix our babies and make it all better. We have to watch the turmoil and it is an unbearable pain. We don't give birth and assume one day our babies will be using drugs. Loved Chelsea speaking. She was honest. Baby you are doing so good. So damn good. You are going to prove to yourself and to others drugs can't have you. You are in control here.
Hang in there Chelsea. You got this!! So glad you are alive. You are here for a reason. It takes awhile to feel good again. Thanks for sharing your story.
Harrowing to see the effects shown of the drugs on Chelsea, and her accident. Hats off to you as you continue to recover and enjoy life with your child, family and friends. I hope you can get to the place where your past no longer dominates your thinking. It is said: there's no point living in the past. It doesn't exist. Some thoughts can rob us of peace and hope, and torment us if we dwell on them.
Long may you and your family continue to thrive.🎉
You are made in the image of God! And you can do anything with him. He knew you before you were born and called you good!
Amen genesis 1:26 🙏
proud of her for taking the sober path. i wish her the best ❤
Congratulations it's not easy trying to be normal after being like that for so long and I know firsthand because I was and addict for about 7 and 1/2 years on heroin one day I decided that I can't do this any longer I straightened up I have a son now I have a fiance I'm working I'm providing for myself and my family them feelings of happiness I'm still struggling with after being sober since 2016 I still struggle with that every day the feelings of happiness and joy I very seldom ever have that I just keep pushing on keep pushing on that's all I can do I can't give up now I have a son that looks at me as a role model I remember what my grandmother told me on her deathbed she forgive me for everything I did because I'm trying to change my life and I live by that everyday. So congratulations and keep up the good little eventually come around and things will start coming to you I promise
You look beautiful and healthy...keep going, I will pray for you and your family....our daughter overdosed and took her life 7 yrs ago. I feel for your mom too.
The ultimate pain is the loss everyone feels, may her spirit soar and come to you in the gentle breeze
Please - you beautiful brave strong human - stay sober. Look how AMAZING and GORGEOUS you are. Stay close to those that hold you up and support you. Please please please - and you will FLY !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Proud of you
I know so many people are against suboxone and methadone, however, this was me. I could never get my mental on track. I consciously decided to start medicated assisted recovery even though I was clean. I kept telling everyone I just never felt the same since being addicted to heroin. Since the medication my depression and my mental issues are about 85% better. So familiy and friends do NOT put your loved ones down for choosing this path. Its a disease. You wouldnt tell q type 1 diabetic not to take insulin, so dont tell an addict what they need to take or not take. Thats between them and their doctor.
Devastating background. Wishing you many one-day-at-a-time peace. Thank you for sharing your personal story . Glad you’re alive.
MY HEART FOR HER❤️🩹 RECOVERY IS NOT EASY! IT gets lonely, cold, hard, sad, mad etc!! Every day sober gets brighter but there is hard days and Chelsea is showing the REAL AND RAW emotion that comes with recovery! I pray she finds her path and stays on it! YOURE BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG CHELSEA; YOU GOT THIS!!🫶
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
@chelseac8826 you are SO welcome! I pray and hope you are still standing in your recovery! Your story touched my soul🙌🫶
You are so lucky to have that kind of support. I wish I did. The rehabs I've been to are state funded and don't really care or help. To them it's all about the money. These days I just sit in my room depressed and still doing the wrong thing. Idw this life, but I've tried and tried to get the help I need and can't seem to find it. I'm glad your sober. I've been thru alot of what you have and it really messed up my life. It's apart of me. It's who I am. I'm lost.
There is help out there. You can start with calling or texting 988 for some guidance.
Hi. What state are you in?
Chelsea, The drug culture is completely foreign to me, all I knew growing up was school, sports, hard work. You have no idea how deeply your story affected me and how I wish the best for you❤️❤️❤️
❤❤sad but also amazing at the same time bless her heart she's young mama is still A youngin my prayers Hun ,
Please keep the good Lord close to you. Stay strong
One day at a time sister…
One day at a time 🙏🏻
Chelsea, I'm so impress with you and your Mother. Hang in there girl. We are worthy, we are loved, and we can show love. 79K people have seen your story. I've been sober 13 yrs and I still need to hear stories like you. Thank you ,no matter what.
Thank you Chelsea for being so vulnerable and sharing yourself in this way. You have no idea how your words have impacted and will continue to impact many. You’re right life sucks but some days it sucks a little less. Stay strong and keep sharing. You matter. I’ll pray for you and your sister. ❤
My 🙏 is that this family has an encounter with Jesus Christ and know that they are L❤️VED BEYOND WORDS ‼️
Your strength is epically beautiful!! You are meant to shine your light upon us here on earth so keep being strong! Thank you for sharing your story with us ~ your resilience is your sword. Love from Northern California 🥰
Wow, prayers for both daughters and their recovery. Thank God for blessing these ladies with their beautiful mother. Their mother is resilient and definitely have God on their side. ❤
My sister was revived by paramedics after collapsing with my month old niece nearby. She was headed out to the car, beyond high, to take my niece to our sister’s house so she could continue partying. If she had made it into the car, my ending to this story would be completely different. Anyway…my other sibling got a phone call saying our sister was headed to the hospital from the overdose and she had 10 mins to get my niece or they would have to turn her over to social services. She ended up with custody of all 3 of her kids. My sister survived and, to my knowledge, has not taken any drugs since the event. The emotional turmoil this caused my family is inexplicable. The Most High God truly dispatched his Angels that day.
Awww 😢 this one made me extremely emotional 😭 Be strong baby girl. We are all proud of you 💜🩵🩷
I'm recovering from meth thank you for putting video out stay strong God bless everyone
Just had another out of Odessa , TX. He was only 16
Darling girl, bring God into your situation and life. He's the one who gave you that eternal soul and chose to put you into this very temporary lifetime. He will get you through it and re-ignite you from within in ways you can't imagine
Your statement is Truth. I now understand that All the glory belongs to God for helping me get sober. I could not and cannot do it without Him. 🙏
I also survived a Fentanyl overdose. What helped me is a medication for opioid abuse, it has a side effect, you can’t stomach the thought of alcohol. It feels so good to not to hustle to get high. I never thought I couldn’t live without opioids, now I don’t know how I survived. Some say suboxone is still using. I don’t get high off of it. I’m down to a small dosage. I have felt great and normal if that makes sense.
Yes it makes a lot of sense..
So happy for you!!! Congratulations
Thank you for sharing your survival journey ❤….The why we became an addict is the core principle to find sobriety forever. Our inner child as an adult is very important to heal. Trauma at any age is hard being a child and having trauma is life altering.
The part about waking up angry you woke up; and doing what you can to make sure you dont again- i felt that sooo hard. In the midst of my addiction, i remember so many times where i just did more and more, hoping the next hit would be enough to end my life. 5 months off fentanyl now, and working to do better. If anyone else here feels this way, please just know. You aren't going to feel this way forever. It will pass. Getting sober is extremely difficult. I'm not gonna lie. But it's better than overdosing and leaving your loved ones in the wake of the horror and tragedy your death caused. Live for them if you can't find it in you to live for yourself yet.
Dear Chelsea, I have gone to hell back and forward a thousand times. My story is very powerful to hear it. From Earthquake to civil war, to communistic dictatorship, to exile, to being kidnapped and rape, to getting married with a demon and a monstrous divorce, to have endured my first born suicide to my only son left with brain damage due to Fentanyl. I would love to speak with you. My greatest motivation is NO TO BE DEFEATED by EVIL or by horrific events like the ones I mentioned to you above. Nothing makes me more angry than to give power over my mind, heart and body to NASTY CIRCUMSTANCES and EVIL. But one thing I learned through the years, I cannot overcome or accomplished VICTORY without an INTIMATE relationship , profound relationship with Christ, God the Father and the Holy Spirit. His Word is an anchor to my soul and a light unto my path. I also hate TAGS, if GOD’s calls me FREE I would not put a tag on myself for LIFE as an victim or as an emotional sick person bound to a nasty life that I do not deserve forever and ever…. Just this alone defeats me if I allow it. I Am who God says I am, and I have what GOD SAYS I HAVE … no what experiences or pains tell me who I am or will be. Pain is not my creator and maker, neither Satan who is the one who sent these horrific experiences to us, to DESTROY US. You need to get angry, but angry with those who think that you are a victim or to those circumstances that has determined who you are and your future. GOD and YOU DETERMINE who you are and your future no tragedies sent to you by hell. HELL HAS NO POWER OVER YOU CHELSEA. Show them WHO YOU ARE, no who they said you are. These addictions and painful memories MUST GO in Jesus Name!
Love
Jessica
So glad you made it Chelsea, a new day brings new opportunities.
Im happy she was able to turn her life around
I am praying for you. I just lost my brother on the 7th of September (this month) to Fentanyl. My heart is torn to pieces. I hope you know how much you are loved by your family and how much it will hurt to lose you.
We are so very sorry. We are here if you need us. 🙏❤️
School teaches everything BUT this . THESE are the type of classes that need to be taught now more than ever. The affects of drugs, what overdosing looks like, how to save someone who is overdosing, help with trauma (physical or mental), FREE treatment, support groups etc etc..
Maybe Chelsea young lady you are meant to be here for a reason 💕
Chelsea Chanslor, I appreciate every single word you said and for being so brave to share this. You have me in tears. I wish I could give you a hug and tell you in person how strong you are and how grateful I am to stumble upon your video and your mother as well. I feel blessed to have seen you guys speak on such a hard topic.
Your last words, “I’m not ok…. Today I’m better than I was yesterday” broke my emotions. Something rare for me. So again, THANK YOU. Thank you 🙏🏼 I needed to hear this.
Great job Chelsea my hats off to you as a addict in recovery I was over 2 years clean with mistakes with alcohol 🍷 n between, I did just honestly relapse one time very recently but I had no desire to continue after getting it. Your a real fine example of where I’d like to be and stay thank you for the inspiration!!!
I just want to give her a hug! And tell her things WILL get better!
Great comeback! Keep it going girl!!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
Chelsea you're an angel. you've helped so many people.
I'm so thankful that you are here to share your story! You're doing amazing 🎉
So happy to see this survivor story!!
Keep going baby girl, I got clean at 23. Stay surrounded by ppl that understand & have been through it. & it looks like your mom is very understanding. Not everyone has that! (😬) it was hard for me I was the only “f*ckup” in my family & they make sure I know it. But they love me, much love to you- stay brave💜💜💜💜
Wishing you all the best and I know your life will become easier. There will always be hard times, but just keep going. I’m very similar to you in terms of trauma, thankfully I don’t have addictions but I try to end it with drugs and have done several times. When you said you were tired, God that resonates, it’s exhausting being alive some days. You seem like a good girl, be safe.❤
Chelsea, you may not believe this, but you are beautiful and incredibly strong. Keep going. You were born to be a WINNER. Love, from Brazil.
Sending lots of prayers and hugs her way. ❤

I pray and hope young lady that you are done and stay sober. I'm 43 and am just coming up on 3 years clean. Please don't wait to your 40 to get this like I have. I've wasted 25 years of my life to Fetnayl. And I'm from Philadelphia where this All started...
wow she is so smart and wise and deep. sending love and hugs to you both 🙏🏻.
She is such a beautiful young woman and could be so much more than just an addict or a recovering addict.
I pray she gets well and finds joy again
And her sister as well!
And that her mama can lose the exhaustion and find happiness and joy with her daughters again!
