    I had a friend that I tried cocaine with when I was 18, he introduced it to me, and I loved it once I tired it. I handed him some money the next day and said, "here's some more cash, get us some more for tonight". I'll never forget his response, "I think you like it a little too much, so let's not'! I never tried it again and I can't help but feel that he helped me dodge a major bullet😉

      A friend would never introduced you to drugs, in this case he did and by not being consistent he actually removed himself from any stigma. After your introduction, he left it up to you to decide if you wanted to continue the use. He could had been your pusher. Stay clean, cause no one likes a druggie

    2023 update: Since this video Taylor had relapsed many times. She bullied and sent her followers to bully anyone who questioned her sobriety. She told people it’s okay to drink alcohol while freshly in sobriety and on. She then tried to get back with the “man” she speaks so poorly about after not being together for 2.5 years. When people found out all hell broke loose and people lost their minds. She then had taken a long break, got sober and happy to say Taylor is a year and a half sober! Recovery looks different for everyone, it’s hard as hell. So proud where she is today!

But now you have a reason to fight like crazy for life, for love.. just be prepared for any outcome.. i mean that - prepare for it mentally and emotionally, so that no matter what happens you will not default back to your addiction. I have no idea what your situation is like, and you have probs already thought about this, but if it looks like a losing battle try to compromise, maybe you can have visits, partial custody etc. Just as long as its temporary, so you can prove yourself if needs be.

    This was filmed a few years ago when she first came out about her addiction. She’s sadly struggled with staying sober since then. As of now, she claims to be sober for almost a year. I was addicted to opiates at her age too, and I had the same issues with relapsing after months of sobriety. Finally it just stuck and I’ve been sober for over a decade now.
    I think she’ll get it. Hopefully she won’t fall back again, but even if she does I think she’ll eventually stay sober. Opiates/heroin is the absolute worst drug and hard to quit.

      It’s super inspiring to hear how long you’ve managed to be sober for. It’s such a tricky hole to get out of and for me personally, the black and white thinking of complete recovery or relapse has been detrimental because I always interpreted it like all or nothing. I was scared by the thought of abandoning my coping mechanism forever (especially since it was how I was controlling s***cial urges) and therefore didn’t want to even try to get better. Seeing it first through the lens of harm reduction and then all progress still counting as progress no matter how minor; like increasing the amount of time I went without my DOC, then managing a week, month or six months of general sobriety in one go. When i’d relapse my rule was to minimise as many of the risks as possible and put it down again the moment I have sufficient mental health support for it not to be integral to my survival. More clear cut recovery is still my goal but i’m trying to be proud of the steps i’ve taken instead of dismiss it as not enough

You’ll get to the point of where you want to be. I’ve met a lot of addicts over the years and the ones that seem to have the most success are the ones who are aware of their issues and keep trying no matter how many times they fall off. Self awareness is so important.
      My sister sadly became an addict and it’s going on 4 years now. She hasn’t come to that point of realizing she’s the only one who can turn it around and instead will blame anyone and anything else.

Then decides to rise the jonny is a pos wave to gain more followers. She minimizes everything she did by glossing over it and focusing on how he gave her heroin, when she was actively seeking drugs. That's literally a junkie blaming the drug dealer for giving them drugs. Jonny is a total shitbag dont get me wrong. But shes absolutely blaming him, when the truth is if it wasn't him it would have been someone else because the problem was inside her. She had things she needed to deal with and still does.

      Sounds like she had a bigger problem with stalkers and American based eco terrorist group, than heroin.
      For example, after thousands of U.S. citizens showed their dedication to fundamental human rights and went out in protest of the torture of detainees at Guantanamo Bay as an affront to human dignity...I apologized because I thought those members of Al-Qaeda deserved the death penalty.
      Its fairly clear everyone from John Stewart to the other fine citizens of Massachusetts agree that I'm in the wrong here. So I'm sorry that I believe in the death penalty and I'm sorry that I believe Al Qaeda members involved in the 9/11 Attacks should have been executed. The People of the United States have shown me the error of my ways and I admit that I was wrong and I'm sorry.
      Seriously though, watching the U.S. military gay gang rape and serially gay rape those POWS might have traumatized children and turned them as gay as the military personnel who did the gay raping. I just wasn't aware you wanted more gay children whose first gay experience was watching U.S. military personnel gay rape, gay gang rape, and serially gay rape Muslim POWS.
      I'm sorry. I was wrong. I didn't know you people wanted gay children. And I'm sorry for believing that people guilty of mass murder deserved the penalty. I truly wish I could have supported the U.S. military and it's personnel who sexually abused these POWS for years while shooting those videos, and promise to make every attempt to support the U.S. military in these endeavors in the future.

    I took a perc a few months ago and it had me feeling like I was on top of the world, I’ve always had issues with addiction but normally it was whatever I could get my hands on as a teen, but after I tried that perc once I started wanting them everyday and it made me feel so depressed that I had let myself do that, I stayed strong and still am and haven’t touched it since, but it was scary because I really thought I had let myself fall into addiction with a substance that has a lot of potential to kill me, and seeing how my dad was on it for 20 years, I knew it was best to just hold on tight and not fall for it. Not everyone is as fortunate as me to drop the pill before it becomes a habit, and I have nothing but hopes and prayers for the people who fell for the devils tricks.

This is the very first time that I’ve seen your channel and I watched this post from start to finish, it brought tears to my eyes to see such a genuine post coming from someone that truly cares and loves what she does, and what you say on your channel matters. I think thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people could benefit by watching this one video. If they see no other post of yours this could be probably one of your most important ever. This is the type of content that could very well save the life of someone that’s experiencing the same thing that you were and God bless you for making the decision to do the right thing by getting yourself clean 🙏🙏and getting away from the person that introduced you to one of the most evil drugs in this world known as heroin. I know that having your personal testimony as part of your channel and being real with people about what you’ve gone through and have overcome will be a big part of your channel and know that by doing so you touch the hearts of many and could be potentially a part of helping save someone’s life. I’m going to subscribe and share your channel with others in the hopes that someone in need will see your content and know that people care and life is worth living, regardless of where you are.👌🙏🙏☺😊😋💋💋

    As an heroin addict my self, struggling with co dependent relationships, I can see my self in alot of things she said. I used for about 5 years since I was 17 when I first met my ex gf that gave me some weird brown powder to smoke. I loved it from day one, it was everything I ever wanted to feel and I struggle extremely up holding my life without it. I was a functioning heroin addict. It made me cope with my life I only stopped shooting up or smoking when I met someone I really loved. But the relationship became very codependent we both had the same issue with love and we split and I instantly fell into it again. Now I am clean since 2 months and My last time shooting up was in July on my birthday.

    It's always a sad thing to see in addiction when people who either don't know anything about it, or have been told whatever in school/after school programs about it and think that makes them adequately informed when all you can know from that perspective is the factual things like what's dangerous, the effects, the risks, the price, how it looks, how it's administered etc.
    But what they (And the majority of mainstream "sources of information" about drugs, drug use, addiction) think is not misinformed and incorrect, often it's dangerously incorrect.
    So almost always as far as understanding or "getting" addiction people don't, but addiction will absolutely "get" them.
    And then it already has you.
    That's why peer support, talks with addicts in recovery with a lot of clean time and experience is SO important and not only for people still in active addiction and the chaos that surrounds it but the teenagers who're all just hearing and being shown the same recycled heavily biased misinformation and rhetoric are either just tuning out entirely or any of the information they DO take onboard is incorrect/harmful.
    But having recovering addicts come and talk to them, being REAL with them about what that life is like and everything surrounding it, what addiction is like, withdrawal, the things you'd do that otherwise you would never ever do just to get out of withdrawal, and even life and its daily fights AFTER addiction is what really needs to happen to make our younger generations better informed on this disease that's become so incredibly widespread and deeper engrained than ever before, it's in everyone's face, in the street outside.
    But it'd also help the kids to see and realise that addicts aren't just people, they're almost always very vulnerable, damaged, abused, traumatised and discarded or forgotten people.
    And a lot of those people are more than just addicts, they're GOOD people who BECAUSE of the life they've lead and what they've witnessed or experienced - if god forbid you found yourself the victim of a random attacker on the street with members of the public all around you? Those same addicts are the ones who'll often run in to help you while everyone else is recording on their phone or just completely ignoring you and often not because they just don't want to get involved, but because they don't care that it's happening to someone else - as long as it stays that way.
    I bet pretty much everyone here either has, knows, used to know, or IS a person who suffers with addiction and is still fighting that daily lifelong fight.
    We've got to make sure our kids don't even set foot in the ring in the first place.
    Stay safe all, love ya, appreciate ya. 🖤🤍🖤🤙

Not a good person.

    True story: I met Jonny Craig once. His band were playing in my hometown (sort of, nearby), and my band were the main support. We were more fans of DGD than Slaves but we needed the exposure, and my drummer was a big Jonny Craig fan. Nothing really happened that was all that serious, but the guy was a little out of it. Nothing shocking to any of us, we were all fucked up, too. But, halfway through his band's set he started screaming at the audience telling them to "fucking start moving" or he was "going home". He didn't go home, but he did angrily tweet about the Plymouth, UK show for like two days after lol. He didn't realise that he was playing in a total deadzone. He must have been accustomed to very different types of crowds.
    TL:DR; Jonny Craig is a little bit delusional.

She speed ran that experience. Respect. Her mind & heart are in the right place, and that's all that matters really. The rest comes naturally (and with help of course, when needed). Very good.
