Western sanctions causes immorality according to you while the patriarchy in Afghanistan is literally saying something different as well as the people themselves
My son was a Heroin addict for 10 years and the WHOLE FAMILY suffered through his addictions, he was trying and trying to get clean but just couldn’t RESIST that pull of Heroin and would go back to it time and time again,after 10 years something “CLICKED “ and he was lucky to get in REHAB miles from home , and I’m PROUD to say he’s been clean for 23 years now and married with 3 children and lovely wife .I think of him as one of the LUCKY ONES ,lots of his associates are either dead or still using heroin or anything they can get their hands on. What I’m trying to say IS that if you want to get clean IF my son can DO IT you can too ,it takes a LOT OF WILLPOWER and DETERMINATION,but you GET YOUR LIFE BACK AND YOUR FAMILY ! GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO GET OFF DRUGS !
Great message. To those who dont understand how this Drug makes you Feel the Best way I can describe it is it's like the Feeling of falling in Love. You know the Honeymoon period. Where life is Great and your always in a Good mood. Now the withdrawals are the Worst when you Quit Cold Turkey. I dont reccomend doing it that way. Full blown withdrawal feels like the Worst Flu of your Life while having an Anxiety Attack. Just Hell. Know you know something about it.
@@jamesjoseph5707 Agree..Heroin feels very benign initially, like 'how can it be THAT bad when it makes one feel so comfortable and at ease? Ironically, the first time I had WD, ad a teenager, I put it down to something else, Just didn't realise that the sneezing and yawning, weakness and terribly aching legs and nausea were from WD. {No internet in those days} If only there could be a non addictive opiate..but that isn't ever likely to happen.
God bless him. I also went thru it for approx 10+ years.. and it took me to reach that point, for me to get clean. You can't get clean because others want you to. You have to truly want it for yourself. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, but I would do it because family wanted me to.. not because I wanted to. And that's why I never got clean during that time. It took me waking up one day, and just being fed up of living like that for me to get it together. And thank God, that day came. My heart goes out to anyone still going thru the struggle. Never give up, it's never too late to turn your life around. I'm living proof.
I'm an addict in cold turkey. THERE IS NO-ONE I CAN TURN TO.I got given VERY SEVERE BRAIN INJURY by the boss social worker. Again THERE IS NO-ONE I CAN TURN TOO. Social worker was from GOLDMAN SACHS Gorter Family Foundation under the doctor who has a medal from the QUEEN. She is dead. Princess Diana's son Harry, of James Hewitt, who actually did go to WAR for the Queen, snubbed Charlie) Queen and Putin loved Trump. Birds of a feather. Trump and Putin both face the end. Putin's nukes are not in the air. Belgorod's six Poseiden nukes= WALL STREET/WORLD TRADE CENTRE/NEW YORK. WASHINGTON. TOKYO. LONDON. ports of GERMANY. FRANCE.
That's one of the reasons it's hard for people to escape addiction. Some of the other addicts become like family. Once you leave you feel isolated and alone.
Former heroin addict in Pittsburgh and Detroit. Took me 32 detoxes, rehabs, half way house, jail, homeless to get clean & have been that way since July 24, 2008. Married with four kids, job, home, etc & life is good now but I too had lost hope at points and never thought I'd get clean. I'd say 70% of people I used with overdosed and died, 20% got clean and other 10% in prison or still using. If you're struggling as an addict or family member of an addict don't lose hope. They aren't themselves and hate what they do to you and to themselves but they unfortunately are unable to control it. It's such a horrible life and I pray for all of you
I can relate your story, I am very depressed as I just got off morphine 7 days ago and I look at all my many years of life as a mistake. I am 50 now and I dont have a family of my own and I feel like life is so depressing. I hope I can someone find a good reason to be joyful again. I am happy for you that you got clean. I too have been to 50 detoxes and about 28 treatment centers and one jail. Now I am 50 and I just lament the wasted years I just cant get over my pathetic life.
@@planes3333 don't talk like that, I too am over 40 and my life is in no way perfect but I felt a peace in me when I became more spiritual and practiced alot of sober self care. God speed bro, life is so short so try to enjoy it and pray for a brighter tomorrow. You cannot take something away and not replace it, so take the time energy and passion you had for using and put it toward something positive. I'm still an addict, I just use my disease against me by channeling it into something good and positive
I think one of the hardest things for people who don't struggle with addiction to understand is why addicts who have gotten clean from their substances of choice overwhelmingly go back out and get addicted all over again (my local state- run rehab facility has a 96% failure rate. 96%!) . I know I wondered it myself when I was young - why don't they just stop and stay sober, and once they have stopped, why in God's name would anybody ever choose to get back on it again? As a former IV heroin addict of 7 years (im 24 now) I wish I had a clear-cut answer besides that your brain chemicals are basically fu@ked- your not making serotonin and dopamine and norepinephrine and all those other helpful little feel good chemicals-sometimes for a very long time after recovering from chemical addictions. Drugs can seemingly be the only positive feeling achievable for quite awhile, and its tempting not to relapse when everyday is an apathetic, soul crushing blur of depression. Aside from that, substance addiction is almost ALWAYS a method of coping with extreme trauma that must be painstakingly unpacked, unraveled and unlearned. Easier said than done for sure. So long story short, the answer is, there are no easy answers Edit: thank you to each and every person who took the time to write encouraging messages and those who shared their own ways of staying clean. I actually wrote down about 50 of your comments in a notebook to refer back to for hope when I'm feeling hopeless.
The lack of insight in trauma/PTSD and how to cure it. Is the main reason. The addict also don`t understand that the drug is not taking away the pain long term. It is simply taking away the pain short term, the multiply the pain after that by 1000. This is the same with all drugs. You also see this with even avrage people drinking alcohol, they forget the pain/anxiety that comes the days after beeing hammerd. They simply want to think that the drug is just a " good" thing and that there is zero downside. wishfull thinking is also common. People think that they are " special" and that they are not going to be addicted. And that only losers/fools and so on get addicted. When in reality trauma from childhood is common. There is also alot of brainwashing and marketing in culture where drugs, alcohol, nicotine and escapism is portraid as " cool", and something we all deserve. When reality is that there is no escape from reality.
I was opiate addict off and on for years. Family tried to help. Always made things worse. Eg pressuring you to stop methadone treatment and forcing alcohol on you. Taking you out to distant towns, leaving you there. And so on. Hearts were in the right place. Same w the Taliban here. They mean well. But chances are, it's all futile and misguided
If complex problems had simple solutions, they wouldn't be complex problems. Good to hear you're out. Must feel like you've lived an entire lifetime already at 24. Goddamn
I hear you Willow...💔 It took me 20 years to finally truly shake my heroin addiction. I've been clean now for over 10 years, and have a beautiful family and a happy life. None of that would have ever happened if I hadn't FIRST been put in a locked facility, where the choice was taken from me for long enough that I could truly remember who I was before drugs ate all of that away! I'll never understand what possesses any of us to do some of the self defeating things we do...
So would you be an advocate for banning it ? Try to eradicate it from society? Preventing the youth from getting it? I know maybe not possible in today's world. Always about $
I know people claim heroin withdrawal won't kill you like withdrawing from alcohol or benzos, but it is so painful and soul destroying, specially as addicts often have nobody to reach to for support. Personally I couldn't take it and after two failed attempts at withdrawal ,during the third attempt the crushing depression led me to take a huge mixed overdose and I'm ashamed to say my son came home and found me blue and unresponsive on the floor. The poor kid had to perform CPR to start my breathing and heart again and keep me alive till the ambulance arrived. That was my "rock-bottom" putting my son through that, and I did finally manage to get clean following that.
your son must love you to bring you back to life. Bravo to him! Bravo to you for doing something about your addiction. It's not easy. I feel so sorry for the men in this film.
Can thank the Russians for occupying Afghanistan during the early 80s and incentivising Afghanistan farmers to grow poppies to supply Russia with pure heroin. Yes.. Russia wanted a heroin supply for its people. Pretty clear Russia likes to keep its people heavily sedated in alcohol and heroin so the people dont rise up😏
@@LOML423he’s using he’s kids to say he shouldn’t be in there and should be free to feed his kids. But when he was out free he obviously didn’t care all he thought about was drugs.
"He wouldn't remember his children if he were free" That one hit deep. The Taliban, although brutal in their methods, are doing what's ultimately best for some of these men. I hope the road to recovery goes well and lasts and these Afghan brothers are able to be great fathers again some day soon, inshallah
Sometimes you have to take on the role of the bad guy to change something for the positive. It’s like a children who wants to take something harmful, the father forbids knowing it’s bad for the child, but the child screams and cries and it all looks hard. In the end the child will know the parent was right
I fail to see how starving people who are already going through the hellish and possibly deadly process of unmedicated withdrawals and treating them like they are less than human is either humane or worthy of Gods blessings. The Taliban are evil. They actively encouraged heroin being used and sold when it funded theyre rebellion and now they harshly punish people for it. Its obvious hypocrisy.
It’s unimaginable that these people have to go through rehab without any medication, even comfort medicine to combat nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc. Godbless them all
@@skramzgod yes, happens everyday in the west . Two years ago, pain management kicked me out for being pregnant. I’m a burn victim, third and fourth degree, with bone charring, almost twenty percent of my body in burn marks. I was on 20 mg Methadone and steroid shots. I got pregnant, I’m married and sadly, no method prevents pregnancy 100%. My husband is a scientist and I am an artist. I had no place to go and desperately called a methadone clinic. The doctor was shocked, what they did to me. I miscarried in withdrawal on the toilet. With my new doctor this would never happen. I had a healthy baby girl finally seven weeks ago, three days in hospital, no withdrawal for the baby , I was low enough at that point, because I planned this pregnancy . But I’ll never forget how cruel my old doctor treated me. According to CDC it’s forbidden, to stop opiates abruptly in pregnant women because it causes miscarriage. At the same time, they kicked others out, one a man that just recovered from chemo therapy. Going to the clinic changed my view on a lot of things. And I’ve met quite a few former pain patients, that got kicked out , weaned off quickly or simply got addicted. I am thankful I never got that desperate but I can say one thing; opiate withdrawal is hell. I don’t wish it on anyone. Well, maybe the doctor that said they don’t treat pregnant patients and no refill anymore… After ten years on pain medication, without a single issue. I hope you’re doing well.
@@whatdothlife4660 huh ? Muslims worship G-d too,judaic,christian and muslim G-d is the same,the creator of the heavens,the earth and all that dwells therein.
You call incarcerating innocent people because they have an illness humanity boy are you mistaken without proper medication and outpatient support all of this is useless it's just another traumatic event to add on to the many others of these poor addicts that they go through on a daily basis because of a bad decision they made this shows how ignorant and low of an IQ most of these places have since they can't even put in human resource people two out there city rather than chase down people with guns
That one man who said "he wouldn't remember his children If he was free" was sadly SPOT ON! These methods may be extreme, but at least they're trying to end this nightmare! I feel much more sorry for the wives and children of these men, and I truly pray they are able to recover and live a happy life, with their families!🙏❤🙏
I am into drugs for almost half of my life...I am sober for just 2 years since COVID 19 strike our country.. I love what I am feeling right now...free from influence of drugs,I can think straight.. I decided not to go back to where drugs had an easy access..I do not trust my self still if I can say no if drugs are in front of me again that's why I stay as far a I could to be totally healed.. It's nice to be sober.. God bless us all!!
@@nothingishere111 You my friend, have obviously never experienced addiction or you would realise just how much nonsense you were spouting. I always love how people with no experience with addiction has all the answers! Laughable.
@@patrickskehill5589 there are no answers to addiction because the solution varies patient to patient the best option so far is a different addiction such as methadone or Suboxone they just buy you time while you search yourself for the strength to do the necessary suffering for recovery
@@patrickskehill5589 I don't know, I can't agree. I battled a heroine addiction for 10+ years, and eventually got myself clean off of straight will power. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, and they didn't work for me. They preach 12 steps, and not everyone is programmed the same, so 12 steps doesn't apply for everyone. But either way, during my addiction I didn't feel all alone. I felt far from that. I used to enjoy getting high, and the days when I couldn't afford it, I would suffer withdrawals, but I didn't feel like I was all by myself and lost. No, I put myself in that position... and I accepted it. So it required myself to get me out that position. After accepting the fact that 12 steps wasn't going to work for me, I took it upon myself to get myself clean.. and I did just that. Was it easy? No. I failed many times in the past, but I reached a point where I felt enough was enough, and quit. Not everyone has that willpower, I get it. And I don't fault them for that. My comment is more to point out that I didn't feel all alone, or lost, or however you want to phrase it... and at my peak, I was spending 4-5 hundred a day, so I was definitely at full fledge addiction. If any of you are still using, never give up. It's possible to get clean. I am living proof. If you ask anyone in my family, they all expected to get that phone call one day. None of them thought I would get it together, but contrary to belief... I did. And so can anyone, with enough will power. God bless anyone who is still going thru the struggle, my heart goes out to you.
I feel for these guys. I had 7 stints in residential rehab, 14, in-patient detoxes and countless other attempts to get clean from Heroin. Finally, in 2006, something clicked and I've been clean/sober ever since. Most of these unfortunates will die long before they get that many opportunities. It's just so sad.
@@meowmeowmeow2362 Hey, I'm from Scotland and have been addicted to heroin for almost 25 years. I've had issues with crack and valium too but heroins always been my main addiction. I've been clean many times but have always gone back to it although this time I can honestly say I won't ever go back to it as the withdrawals get harder the older I get. To answer your question you'll start to feel a bit better after a week but it'll be at least 3 weeks before you start sleeping and eating properly. Wish I could tell you it'll be easy but it isn't. Stick in there and you'll get through it. The key is to accept that you have yo go through weeks of he'll to get better and for the first week fuck the whole "one day at a time" thing and take it an hour at a time as it really is nasty but totally worth it once you get clean. Good luck to you. Ps where are you from? I realise we don't know each other but I'm always here if you need some moral support. Take it easy and be strong!!!
Former addict. 7 years clean thank God!!❤❤ I quit cold turkey- I don't think I could survive that level of sickness again. The memory is what keeps me sober.
@@Turtlefarm no- I was sick of the clinics - doctors ect- putting me on medication and being unsuccessful. But mostly I have a son and I carried alot of guilt that he could possibly lose me if I didn't do something. Trust me- the horrific sickness is something I will never forget. I don't ever want to go through that again. I let alot of people down that I care about buty son was and is my inspiration to stay FAR AWAY from that poison and never touch it again. I finally moved away from my source of misery and never looked back.
@@Turtlefarm I went to clinics over and over again. I had such a hard time quitting, but I also needed to be honest with myself that even coming off the medication was going to be another detox I was just as horrible. I told myself if I'm really serious- then no more 1/2 way!! Trust me an addict knows how to play the games with the doctors the clinics with family Etc. the thing is I wasn't even getting high anymore. - I was getting sick. The horror of knowing how sick I was going to get from detoxing that kept me from using ever again when i finally got through it.- because I knew it was going to be real bad!! . I really need to be honest with myself at that point because I really let a lot of people down The pain of knowing I wasn't such a great mother- daughter and friend was eating me up. But my guilt knowing I was lying to the most important person in the world was something I couldn't live with anymore- that person is my son. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
@@Turtlefarm btw- it was a nightmare quitting cold turkey. I handed my son off to a family member for 2 weeks as I laid naked on my cold floor -sweating -vomiting diarrhea, muscle spasms-inability to sleep or eat, keep water or any food down. The ice cold floor felt good because off non stop sweating then flipping back to cold with hallucinations. Then of course months and months of hardcore depression. It was a complete nightmare that I won't ever forget.

Man that would suck, I got clean almost 3 years ago in Colorado but drug addiction is the same everywhere. I have love for every single one of those flea-ridden souls. They are right in that only addicts understand addicts. Those rehab workers deserve so much more help. Thanks for making the video and keep your head up everybody ❤.
Ay we're all addicts. Some people's dope is sex or shopping or gambling or alcohol or love etc etc and some people's dope is DOPE. whatever gets that dopamine flowing n neurons firing that's your dope. We all have something...

I'm so humbled. I was too a junkie for 10 years , one day something just clicked and I stopped using. It was a miracle, not a lot of people can say that. Been clean and I'm staying that way
You are an "Ex Addict" pal! I've been affected by this disease since 1992, all through a dumb as fuck gp. She even gave herself a DF habit, in her late 60's and got caught forging scrips, it made headlines. Best day of my life! Junkie! I reckon you don't even know the origin of the word! Best thing for you is a relapse you Turkey. Probably got all the help going to stop! No addict just stops! Atleast 25 methadone programme's I've completed. 7 in house rehab stays! Now on Buvidal injection once a month, I don't see myself getting clean. Humble yet use that word?? Get a grip!
Wow I have finally met someone who had a God shot like yours except mine was alcohol related. I drank due to PTSD from war. One morning I woke up to get my first pint. Cracked it open and drank that pint in 2 swallows. I remember looking up in the sky after not feeling a thing and said "I'm Done" . I can't explain it but everything was lifted off me. The shakes, cravings, urge and the need to want was gone. My body and mind had had enough. It will be 13 years I haven't touched a drop.
@@AllScarsHealTarotcardreader Noticed the same thing, so bizzare. I, too, put the needles down right around the 10-year mark; but it was the combination of spending a Winter in the very worst (of many) rock-bottoms I had ever been in & finding out I was having my son to do it (love you Milo!). Took 9½ *hard* years of IV heroin & coke use from a young age to get where I'm at now; just crossed 4-years clean this past February!
@travisjones9010 Yea that would suck. One thing I will say, I've talked to people who've had to kick heroin in jail without any type of medicine to help with withdrawal, and they tell me that it's actually a little easier to kick when you know you have no hope of getting well. It somehow lessens the anxiety if you're able to embrace the fact that there is nothing you can do Pretty interesting...
Heroin is a hell of a drug, and I “LITERALLY” mean hell. I’m now 5 years clean and life couldn’t be any more amazing. I never realised how much of “LIFE” I’ve actually missed out on until I got clean. I once said to myself, if I could go back and start again I would. But then I realise if hadn’t gone through what I did to learn from my mistakes and the choices I’ve made, I wouldn’t be where I am today so I’m extremely grateful for life. 🙏🏾
I see them cold turkey as they say but in America they have hospitals 🏥 that give methadone Suboxone American people have it easy all they gotta do is put their mind to it because they have all the doctors psychiatrist. They have medication for pain. They got medication for stomach pain they get they feel very well in America you got the best kind of rehab and detox over and Afghanistan and other places in Indiana. I saw they do that cold like back in the 50s that’s no joke. I never did that. I did the punk way I went to the hospital, but I’ve been over 10 years clean.❤
I wonder everyone calls woman "oppressed", it is men that are being abused and mistreated everywhere you look. They´d drum up the UN-Security Council if these would be all females.
As an lucky Afghan living a successful life in Canada, I can say that Afghan people have suffered so much. 50 years of non-stop wars and violence have been embedded deep into the society and has produced so much darkness and pain that it would take years and years to recover from it. However, what amazes me is the amount of love, determination and willpower that people still have in their hearts. Therefore, I am positive that the country will recover along with its people and become a livable place. Let’s pray for that 🙏
This is something the full world should be doing. Hats of to them. You can literally see and understand why there like this at the same time. I wouldn't like to imagine what they been threw every one of them
Insha'Allah. Allah SWT would bless Afghans as well Muslim nations to become one UMMAH and help each other for successful in this life and hereafter. Aameen
In the U.S. it's become fentanyl robbing people of their loved ones. I've never struggled with opioid addiction, but my girlfriend has slowly slipped away from me into that world. Watching this made me think about her and many people I've lost to addiction. It's heartbreaking. But on a lighter note.. this was an amazing piece to watch. I really felt like I was right there watching these men. Always the families that suffer most. I hope the best for everyone watching this. Stay strong. God bless
I wish there was an answer to get them off our streets we need to address why we use and some people just suffer from chronic pain I don't see a problem with local poppy farmers using it as medicine but sharia law is torture to women and men it's terrible. These are terrorists

@@shaleeebee Hello my oblivious friend: Popular opinion is that drugs are pretty freaking awesome. Some may include the reality and truth of the circumstance. Do your research.
..my father was an alcoholic and addict... He passed from a heroin OD when I was 17. I have seen a lot of nasty stuff growing up and the destruction that drugs and alcohol causes is heart breaking. Drugs are so scary to me.. the fear of what it does was put into me at a very young age. I don't wish this hurt, pain or destruction on anyone... It's not just in Canada or US .. it's world wide now and so heartbreaking to see.
Too all you guys and girls, men and women who have gotten clean. Good job, and stay strong. I am an Afghan myself living in Denmark. It hurts me to see these men suffer this much, but i get sort of happy reading all the comments of you people who've gotten sober and clean! - you have all my respect!
At least the one guys being honest, The guy next to him ain't crying because of his kids He's crying because he knows he's about to go through withdraw but he's acting like he's upset about his kids! But it's just like the guy said if he was free right now he wouldn't even be thinking about them... Sad sad truth
He wouldn’t be thinking of them because he would be high true.. but he would be high so not to think of them.. you don’t feel his pain so stop talking like you understand

@@alekseichu6060 I was locked up in jail for about a month. Had to kick it with only ibuprofen for discomfort. But 2 weeks of hell to get my life back was well worth it
Very good documentary. The openness, which is openly admitting that the country is in a dire strate, surprised me. Just as with vast areas in Russia, he number of people succumbing and relapsing to addiction will remain high as long as there is no prospect of work in larger areas. What I found relatively positive is that these people seem not to get punished in addition to having to go through the excruciating process of withdrawal.
The elderly gentleman towards the end is absolutely right about motivation. Without it, all plans to stay clean are doomed to fail. You have no counterweight to oppose even the slightest hint of temptation. And you need an absolute mountain of a motive to counter the mountains of temptations on your way out. Number one crucial step in staying sober for any meaningful amount of time.
Yes. But how does one “Manufacture motivation”? That’s been one of the hardest part of recovery. Finding motivation, energy, even an ounce of happiness… it’s physically AND mentally debilitating…
So sad. I've now read several comments on this thread - all from addicts. I have never tried drugs or even a cigarette . I'm straight as they come. But I can honestly say, from watching this video and reading these comments, that I have far more empathy and understanding of those who are addicts or former addicts. To those who have commented, I take my hat off to you for your bravery to overcome your addictions and for giving some 'real' perspective into what drug addiction is. Stay well.
I cannot agree more with you. The U.S. also stole billions of dollars from the Afghan Centrale Bank. Money that will be used by the U.S. to pay the victims of September 11.
I was heroin addict for 9 years now I am clean without going rehabilitation/nowhere else , I went to jail but also I used it, my cleanliness struggle was hell I was dead alive ,it was a best thing I've ever done in my life❤ what a blissful life❤
At around the 23:00 min mark he speaks of anhedonia. It’s a phenomenon opiate addicted people go through where our brains can’t produce certain vital chemicals. It’s extremely important that it’s addressed as most addicts think things will never feel good again or think it’ll feel hopeless forever when in reality it can take up to 18 months to counteract the anhedonia. I pray for all addicts suffering worldwide. It is only through eachother that we find true strength. We must come together and forge the pathway ahead for our fellow man.
there are cases of anhedonia that last longer than 18months could it be years, those cases are not from heroin but from other drugs that sold freely in pharmacies that is the true terror
@@richardkesse8991not sure what you are insinuating, but Addiction is a form Of extremism. We should always have a balanced approach to life, and do things in limitations. Even sex addiction is unhealthy as some spouses end up going to the extreme as they can’t control themselves and sleep around. Same as religious addiction, some end up neglecting other important duties and aspects of life. Moderation is the key to a healthy life, addiction on the other hand ruins lives.
@@butter5144 all addictions are bad for your. There is no such thing as good addiction. Maybe you don’t know what the definition of addiction is. I can tell you.
The doctor who spoke of relapse causes was spot on. Uncertainty about the future, poverty, feeling or knowing like your life lacks accomplishment, even hunger alone could cause relapse. The man who was former mujaheddin seems inspiring. God knows they would "rake me across the coals" for my addiction to tobacco. It is nice to see the Taliban moving and working in a positive direction.
Oh , the Taliban are moving in a positive direction are they ? jfc . Do you know any women resident in Afghanistan, mmm ? How are they getting on , do you know . So , life in Afghanistan is moving in a positive direction. I have an open mind : show me / link me please . Thank you . 🙄🤔😴

If you had to live in a country where these monsters rolled over you everyday you would want to take drugs too. And you know what's funny is the Taliban control and grow all the opium in Afghanistan that's how they make their money and the majority of those Taliban are addicts themselves but for the camera they want to make you think they're cracking down that's the kind of hypocrites these monsters are who are so uneducated they are incapable of even running a simple government they've destroyed everything good the US did the schools the roads the hospitals the water infrastructure and electricity that the US brought to people who had never had it these monsters have just come in and destroyed it all. The Afghan people have to grow up man up and fight for their own country and fight for their own freedom and only then will they be free of this madness.

That militaristic plutocracy which is sticking its nose in the internal affairs of any other country is throwing 800 billion dollars into the trash, that is a military-industrial complex just because your leaders want to be able to make wars and illegal military interventions everywhere, your blessed land has over 800 military bases all over the world since WW II caused almost 80 coups, organized genocides, and even that war in Ukraine, and you have no universal health care, you have shitty primary and secondary education, and crime is over the roof, and the ol' USA is blessed land? Sorry, but I would choose Canada or many European states at any time over your blessed land... Why are you doing all of that? Do you know how much your country is disliked, even among NATO countries? Stay there, don't put your fingers in Europe or anywhere, and stop supplying one side in a conflict that you started, you hypocrites...
I've worked with addicts for many years - and the "Kill me if I'm lying" phrase is exactly what an addict would say. Doesn't me the guy's an addict - but it's definitely not proof otherwise. And if the Taliban are offering these people a chance to get clean and go back to "normal" life, then that's better than the alternative.
Man that was hard hitting. It was beyond words suffering from heroin addiction for 24 years in the uk. Seeing these poor men go through it in such harsh conditions was unthinkable
@@MrMajsterixx correct . These taliban are just control freaks - control women , control weaker men . Who t f do they think they are . They are so pleased with themselves - as are millions of muslim men aroiund the world , and other religious freaks . preaching to the choir here , though ,; best wishes mate .
@Wendy Knox I’m 4 years clean. Today I won’t even touch any sort of medication either that changes the way I feel. We all make bad decisions in life and we all handle emotional circumstances in life differently. For me it was the only thing I could do at that particular time. Hard too understand for someone who doesn’t suffer from addiction I know
I can only imagine how bad the withdrawal is with no medication to help alleviate the withdrawal which must be horrendous considering in Afghanistan they grow it and i would think its very strong heroin
I went thru heroin withdrawal in 2008 I was sentenced to 60 days in county jail I didn’t sleep for the first 15 days I received no medicine to ease withdrawals I definitely feel empathy for these poor souls
I would have definitely said something like I don't have my medication I need my benzodiazepine at that point they are forced to throw you in solitary and relinquish the meds you brought in as a necessity and start giving them to you on time if they don't want to risk a lawsuit
I kicked a cocaine habit in 1981. Cold turkey, no replacement drugs no help. Don’t remember the first 5 days. I was told it would be 3 days but it took 5 days and wore me out.
I was an addict since 2015 ..searching my next hight was my only thing for me unfortunately after suffering in many rehabilitation centre my life turn upside down i joined indian army and i am still clean and sobriety this is all through my hard work determination and by the help of the almighty ...i can't stop praising the lord
I was part of the Central Poppy Eradication Force from 2004 to 2005. Our mission was to train police to eradicate poppy fields and reduce as much as possible the amount of poppy was grown for production of heroin. The program failed largely due to the Afghan government refusing to do what needed to be done and several missions failed due to bribes being conducted between the drug lord and the local (sometimes national) government. Initially, the Taliban did not condone the production of heroin but eventually found out how much money could be made from it and used that money to fund terrorist operations and attacks in Afghanistan. We, as instructors, were blamed for inadequate training when, in truth, the Afghan National Police were not conducting themselves as we trained them to. There were several who would commit to the eradication and they were excellent officers. However, there were several that were there for the money they were being paid. There were a few officers who were suspected Taliban and we had two of our language assistants (interpreters) who were Taliban trying to spy on us. Unfortunately, the program was largely a failure due to the corruption of local government and police officials.
We have a neighbor here that get addicted to drugs and because of that he got caught by the police and being jailed for almost 2years. When he go out from the prison a lot of things changed on his personality, he became more respectful person than before and and every Sunday he go to church. Every addict or bad people have chance to change they only need assistance an attention. Help them instead and don't ever abuse them cause they are also human like us
God bless these people in Afghanistan. Unfortunately Drug withdrawal is something I have experienced too many times. Unless you have experienced it you can never truly understand how terrible it is. My worse experience was going through withdrawal locked up in a New Jersey jail where they give you absolutely nothing to help take away the pain and illness. You suffer in a small cell, can't sleep, can't eat, constantly experiencing an extreme amount of discomfort and that was a walk in the park compared to what the addicts in this documentary have suffered. May God bless them all
@Amir Menkovic May the Lord Almighty protect you and guide you to the str8t path and keeps you steadfast on your journey. Ameen, and are you clean now?
I done prison detox when I was 18.they gave you nothing!!! and it was my first ever detox.that detox made me afraid of every other detox,when I tried to kick the habit.and left me in heroin addiction for 20years.I think if I never had experience that brutal detox I could of kicked the habit a lot sooner.a prison detox is suicidal
I might disagree with the methods since I'm from a first world country but it really is eye opening watching the taliban actually care about their community
They don’t care about community. They only care about emboldening the radicalism of Islam which needs a compliant population. For this purpose they will keep them drug free but also uneducated. Just senseful enough to breed dear in them and have them be compliant but not educated enough to override them and their radical ideals.
I was an opiate addict for over 10 years and I don’t have a problem with this. I wish they had enough resources to keep people clean and under control longer. I’d be willing to bet a whole lot go out and relapse very, very quickly. Takes a long time for that desire to subside to a controllable level
Worked with addicts professionally for 7 years in the US. Addiction is addiction, anywhere you go. I've heard all these stories before. Just wish I'd had this clip to show some of the spoiled young addicts that thought rehab was so hard, with their Suboxone tapers, massage therapy, and beach front housing
IKR!! 🤦♂️ we used to have to walk uphill both ways in the snow back and forth to our dope dealers house!!! All these youngsters are spoiled rotten with the methadone and Subs they end up abusing anyways!
@@growmiezhomiez8760 Which is why we need to stop using that shit. It can be done without that stuff. But that will never happen because Pharma is one of the biggest lobbies in the US, shit the whole world really. They will make sure addicts are never in short supply and they do their best to squash any alternatives to their "safe" drugs. Fucking disgusting. One of the big reasons I got out of that field, alongside all of the other unethical and illegal practices
Some of us get clean shaking for 4 days on the county jail floor,you know?? It's not all good..I stayed on that cement with 2/3rds of a blanket and that was all... It was fkn horrible.. Still,it was 20 times better than the hell in this video in comparison...I'm actually thankful for that time on that floor...It made me who I am now...Be Well...
Questionable takes. As somebody who has gotten clean cold turkey on floors as well as in luxury rehabs on methadone and suboxone (all different occasions), they all have their pros and cons. Suboxone was by far the hardest to get off of. Felt like I was mildly sick the entire time, for months. Even tried it twice and had the same feeling. If I had to pick now, I think Methadone is the best way for me, but of course you can still abuse others and get high, and it requires a lot of “support” to stay in a program (and insurance). In some ways, cold turkey is the easiest.
@@tophernuttle420 nothing like the jailhouse detox. Kicked fentanyl and methadone my last time 5 years ago. Went two months before I got to sleep for more than a few minutes. Sober and hard working now I will never go back. Glad to hear there's others.
American community need to rid their block of ''crack '' Dealer .pill dealers ,'Heroin dealers and the police district commanders need to be look at carefully ,'why their neighborhood are fill with ''crack Dealers , also the courts need to give out 20 years for selling crack that destroyed community and Family .
I've been through withdrawals sooo many times at my home, that was absolute hell. I can't imagine how much pain these guys are going through. I wish they had Medicine Assisted Treatment, that's the only thing that has helped me.
@@theinngu5560 Just based on the economy and normal every day misery, I don't think it'd take me much convincing to start a drug habit. Trauma opens the gate to a lifetime of addiction.
@@UnderscoreZeroLP I think he means because people can't afford good healthcare or mental health along with having jobs that break you're body down or that you're miserable at or overworked is why people self medicate and drugs work so well in the very beginning and have such profound effects on the brain that people don't get no matter how miserable they are the drugs stop helping at all and end only causing much more pain on top of original problems.
My brother was a heroin addict for 5 years we locked him in the basement for 2 months approximately 60 days and let him start taking walks outside in the night at the 35 day mark but handcuffed to me who’s his brother so he wouldn’t run But we made it super comfortable and had our family therapist friend evaluate him throughout the ordeal He came out a new man and is still clean 4 years later He likes boxing so we hung a boxing back In the basement made it cozy set up Xbox and all the games , put the jacuzzi down there we totally made him comfortable
Awesome informational documentary; As a Westerner, these levels of poverty are simply unmatched. As mentioned in the therapy session’s, these addicts lack the resources to lead new sober lives. Without a re-entry program providing occupation’s, source of income to support families; Patients will likely relapse back into addiction.
After being addicted to opiates it was a time I couldnt even imagine being able to go day to day without having it, now after being clean for a few years it's hard to imagine living like that again but you still never lose those cravings and urges it's a strange thing , it's so true when they say one day at a time
NO lie about that Bro mw too i ve been hooked 2 and Methadone saved me and its day by day but now that i am not struggling with the dope anymoere i have new problem now i suffer from being broke not having money to survive and support my sick Moms its strange now that i dont chase dope anymore i lost all my making money schemes ans hustles ans i am trying ro be positive and make a few bucks on RUclips but i am having a hard time with that i havent gotten One Donation on m Channel in 4 Months nor even a penny and thats really making me depressed and just want to say EF everything i am gonna get high again and just go nuta i am really close ro the razors edge 🇧🇦🇺🇸 thanks everyone for listening God Bless everyone Peace
Jesus Christ is a present help in time of trouble. Whosoever shall call upon His name will be saved. Try Him in this. He’s not a theory. He forgives when we repent, He hears the cry of the afflicted and He answers us. He is no respecter of persons. He gives grace to the humble, but the proud He resists. Your doing a godly thing by caring for your mother - He will honor it - but call on His name.
The despair in those men's eyes... Addiction is absolute pure unrestricted suffering. There's so many times I wish somebody would have put me out of my misery. Luckily I got the help I needed eventually.
God bless every ounce of bravery and does not go unnoticed by Our All Knowing. I am a recovering addict Afghan American and I pray for my Ummah but Alhamdullilah for Islam. These men can’t find drugs under Taliban, that says something.
I feel so lucky to live in Australia where Detox centers are free, along with the 6 month Rehab I went to straight after. Yes, I was put on Subuxone, but I eventually kicked that too and am very grateful to be alive today after several overdoses and a strong support system behind me. I have tried to kick Oxycontin and Heroin addiction cold turkey and like everyone in the comments and some have said in this doco, I wouldn't wish it upon my greatest enemy. If you are reading this and struggling, please do what ever it takes to get off opiates, it will change your life and bring you back to the person you once were. Much love.
@@bugglemagnum6213 SAME. But I’m clean for 6 months now, on suboxone. Problem with the feeling way more functional, it’s only when I could afford the heroin. (Super expensive in Australia, now $700 a gram). When I couldn’t get it, I had zero function. Suboxone makes me able to function. Not as well as heroin but better than without it for sure. And it’s consistent. No withdrawal. And it’s affordable. Thank God.
real talk, cold turkey is just a form of torture and it doesn't guarantee that they won't relapse in the future. they need something like suboxone simply as a placeholder
Considering what a mess the country is in following years of war , this system of rehab is quite well organised in its own way, even if it seems harsh to Western countries.
Harsh? It's BRUTAL. Inhumane would be a better word. It's absolutely unacceptable, even for a developing nation. It's torture, it's persecution, it's potentially a crime against humanity. You look really ignorant or incredibly biased to say such a thing
@@michaelvallin55 you’re the ignorant one , judging other systems and cultures through your own perspective. Sure it’s ’brutal ‘ but it’s attempting to sort out a huge social problem with zero facilities and infrastructure which we take for granted ….mainly because western governments have destroyed their entire societies through war . Don’t you think USAs slow drip feeding of fentanyl and other drugs to its population to keep them zombie like and useless , pretty brutal too ?
At least something is being done. California is running rampant. Even if this approach gets 2% clean, that’s better then doing zero and accepting full blown drug abuse and the crime that goes with it.
As someone who just got off of methadone, then Suboxone, after being addicted to heroin and painkillers, I cannot fathom how awful it would be to have to go through the withdrawal cold turkey in those conditions.
Yeah that's an understatement. Kicking at home with a hot bath available and OTC meds and cannabis etc is bad enough. What these dudes are doing is pure misery
Did you not hear the man say they have to separate the men before kicking because some of their bodies are too weak to withstand the withdrawals? Yes, heroin withdrawal can kill you.
Thank God I'm sober. March 13 2018. Had my first child, a baby girl, March 10th 2020. For her, I can never go back. But I try to remember those days, so I can be certain at how far I have come.
Afghanistan has gone through war for centuries. Many of them Afghans, I believe have gone through traumatic experiences in their lives whether as a child or even an adult. Maybe they or their parents have PTSD. And drugs are the coping mechanisms. Also, it is their land that's too fertile to grow opium makes matter worse. I pray 🙏🏼 for their wellbeing and will keep them in my prayers.
When you have a neighbor like pekistan and Iran, Afghanistan will never have peace or stability. When they get a good leader, the US and pekistan collectively find a way to get rid of him. And you're absolutely right about the coping mechanism hence most of the young men in their early 20s resort to drugs because they see no future for themselves despite most obtaining degrees from universities and at the end of their completion the can't feed their families. And I have come across numerous cases of such individuals. Those that can't stand their home situation, they take the drastic action of commiting suicide. Thanks for your prayers man 🙏 appreciate it. And I hope countries like pekistan either wake up and stop with their atrocities against the poor afghans or I sincerely pray to God to wipe out pekistan from the face of this earth. Ameen
@Barbara Boix damn sorry to hear man .iv heard similar stories all to often. It's unfair and unfortunate that people with actual pain have to go through it. I wish you the best of luck my friend.
@@mark7831 right! I wonder how an addicts body would respond to that.. Would the adrenaline over come the sickness temporarily? Or would it be like every thing else when dope sick and you dnt really care and can't focus on anything but being sick. Definitely a shitty thing it go through.
I applaud that they're doing this for the country. Sometimes you gotta show tough love. I am a former person who had addiction and I wish I had someone to lock me in a room and get me clean, but I am clean now, but I had to find it myself in myself and that took along time lol
God Bless these men who are helping those with such a terrible disease 🙏, it's not the best way nor the safest way but seems to be affected way that works
They aren’t helping. Beating and starving people and seeing them as subhuman “vermin” as they called them, isn’t helping. Not addressing the poverty & trauma that causes their addiction, nevermind not having a support system, won’t work. You don’t even know their success rate anyway
And occupation the US has spearheaded the Pakistani government and is using Pakistan to send drone strikes on Afghanistan still after they got kicked out. They just can't seem to handle the loss and they can't seem to give up the money and resources down there
when the taliban take over Kabul they said they was drug addict in every corner. the U.S had control of Kabul for 20 years and they turn it into california without the movie stars.
@@aadil2248 Can’t forget the money and resources down there? If Taliban could remember it maybe they’re country would not be a worse shirt hole now than when the US where there. The Taliban is nothing but savage animals destroying Afghanistan.
I'm starting to believe theres no such thing it's just you either have ADHD and dont even know it everyone I know woth drug addiction shows adhd symptoms like me and my mom and dad, my parents domt believe they have it but I'm diagnosed with it and we all abuse substances they say addiction runs in families but so does adhd lol
I've been clean for 5 years. I can't imagine how difficult it us to get clean in that situation my heart aches for those men. I wish they had a link to a reputable company that we can donate to help out.

My son was a Heroin addict for 10 years and the WHOLE FAMILY suffered through his addictions, he was trying and trying to get clean but just couldn’t RESIST that pull of Heroin and would go back to it time and time again,after 10 years something “CLICKED “ and he was lucky to get in REHAB miles from home , and I’m PROUD to say he’s been clean for 23 years now and married with 3 children and lovely wife .I think of him as one of the LUCKY ONES ,lots of his associates are either dead or still using heroin or anything they can get their hands on. What I’m trying to say IS that if you want to get clean IF my son can DO IT you can too ,it takes a LOT OF WILLPOWER and DETERMINATION,but you GET YOUR LIFE BACK AND YOUR FAMILY ! GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO GET OFF DRUGS !
Great message. To those who dont understand how this Drug makes you Feel the Best way I can describe it is it's like the Feeling of falling in Love. You know the Honeymoon period. Where life is Great and your always in a Good mood.
Now the withdrawals are the Worst when you Quit Cold Turkey. I dont reccomend doing it that way. Full blown withdrawal feels like the Worst Flu of your Life while having an Anxiety Attack. Just Hell.
Know you know something about it.
@@jamesjoseph5707 Agree..Heroin feels very benign initially, like 'how can it be THAT bad when it makes one feel so comfortable and at ease?
Ironically, the first time I had WD, ad a teenager, I put it down to something else, Just didn't realise that the sneezing and yawning, weakness and terribly aching legs and nausea were from WD.
{No internet in those days}
If only there could be a non addictive opiate..but that isn't ever likely to happen.
Im trying but this is a strong message
You should spread this message on all social media platforms with showing ur real identity.
God bless him. I also went thru it for approx 10+ years.. and it took me to reach that point, for me to get clean. You can't get clean because others want you to. You have to truly want it for yourself. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, but I would do it because family wanted me to.. not because I wanted to. And that's why I never got clean during that time. It took me waking up one day, and just being fed up of living like that for me to get it together. And thank God, that day came. My heart goes out to anyone still going thru the struggle. Never give up, it's never too late to turn your life around. I'm living proof.
The man who said nobody but other addicts will accept us, used extremely meaningful words.
I feel for these people.
I'm an addict in cold turkey. THERE IS NO-ONE I CAN TURN TO.I got given VERY SEVERE BRAIN INJURY by the boss social worker. Again THERE IS NO-ONE I CAN TURN TOO. Social worker was from GOLDMAN SACHS Gorter Family Foundation under the doctor who has a medal from the QUEEN. She is dead. Princess Diana's son Harry, of James Hewitt, who actually did go to WAR for the Queen, snubbed Charlie) Queen and Putin loved Trump. Birds of a feather. Trump and Putin both face the end. Putin's nukes are not in the air. Belgorod's six Poseiden nukes= WALL STREET/WORLD TRADE CENTRE/NEW YORK. WASHINGTON. TOKYO. LONDON. ports of GERMANY. FRANCE.
This is the truth, in active addiction. But we must all welcome the addict who seeks recovery and help them to help themselves.
@@hansmueller3029 well you can't welcome them on this video they been force and jailed.
That's one of the reasons it's hard for people to escape addiction. Some of the other addicts become like family. Once you leave you feel isolated and alone.

@@zdd22fixes47wtf is wrong with you
Former heroin addict in Pittsburgh and Detroit. Took me 32 detoxes, rehabs, half way house, jail, homeless to get clean & have been that way since July 24, 2008. Married with four kids, job, home, etc & life is good now but I too had lost hope at points and never thought I'd get clean. I'd say 70% of people I used with overdosed and died, 20% got clean and other 10% in prison or still using. If you're struggling as an addict or family member of an addict don't lose hope. They aren't themselves and hate what they do to you and to themselves but they unfortunately are unable to control it. It's such a horrible life and I pray for all of you
Good on you brother. Keep clean and always think of your family, you are loved.
I can relate your story, I am very depressed as I just got off morphine 7 days ago and I look at all my many years of life as a mistake. I am 50 now and I dont have a family of my own and I feel like life is so depressing. I hope I can someone find a good reason to be joyful again. I am happy for you that you got clean.

You ppl r all the same and will never learn. A society cannot function properly with citizens who take serious drugs such as heroin
First good COMMENT.
I think one of the hardest things for people who don't struggle with addiction to understand is why addicts who have gotten clean from their substances of choice overwhelmingly go back out and get addicted all over again (my local state- run rehab facility has a 96% failure rate. 96%!) . I know I wondered it myself when I was young - why don't they just stop and stay sober, and once they have stopped, why in God's name would anybody ever choose to get back on it again? As a former IV heroin addict of 7 years (im 24 now) I wish I had a clear-cut answer besides that your brain chemicals are basically fu@ked- your not making serotonin and dopamine and norepinephrine and all those other helpful little feel good chemicals-sometimes for a very long time after recovering from chemical addictions. Drugs can seemingly be the only positive feeling achievable for quite awhile, and its tempting not to relapse when everyday is an apathetic, soul crushing blur of depression. Aside from that, substance addiction is almost ALWAYS a method of coping with extreme trauma that must be painstakingly unpacked, unraveled and unlearned. Easier said than done for sure. So long story short, the answer is, there are no easy answers
Edit: thank you to each and every person who took the time to write encouraging messages and those who shared their own ways of staying clean. I actually wrote down about 50 of your comments in a notebook to refer back to for hope when I'm feeling hopeless.
The lack of insight in trauma/PTSD and how to cure it. Is the main reason. The addict also don`t understand that the drug is not taking away the pain long term. It is simply taking away the pain short term, the multiply the pain after that by 1000.
This is the same with all drugs. You also see this with even avrage people drinking alcohol, they forget the pain/anxiety that comes the days after beeing hammerd. They simply want to think that the drug is just a " good" thing and that there is zero downside.
wishfull thinking is also common. People think that they are " special" and that they are not going to be addicted. And that only losers/fools and so on get addicted. When in reality trauma from childhood is common.
There is also alot of brainwashing and marketing in culture where drugs, alcohol, nicotine and escapism is portraid as " cool", and something we all deserve. When reality is that there is no escape from reality.
I was opiate addict off and on for years. Family tried to help. Always made things worse. Eg pressuring you to stop methadone treatment and forcing alcohol on you. Taking you out to distant towns, leaving you there. And so on. Hearts were in the right place. Same w the Taliban here. They mean well. But chances are, it's all futile and misguided
If complex problems had simple solutions, they wouldn't be complex problems. Good to hear you're out. Must feel like you've lived an entire lifetime already at 24. Goddamn
I hear you Willow...💔 It took me 20 years to finally truly shake my heroin addiction. I've been clean now for over 10 years, and have a beautiful family and a happy life. None of that would have ever happened if I hadn't FIRST been put in a locked facility, where the choice was taken from me for long enough that I could truly remember who I was before drugs ate all of that away! I'll never understand what possesses any of us to do some of the self defeating things we do...
So would you be an advocate for banning it ? Try to eradicate it from society? Preventing the youth from getting it? I know maybe not possible in today's world. Always about $
I know people claim heroin withdrawal won't kill you like withdrawing from alcohol or benzos, but it is so painful and soul destroying, specially as addicts often have nobody to reach to for support.
Personally I couldn't take it and after two failed attempts at withdrawal ,during the third attempt the crushing depression led me to take a huge mixed overdose and I'm ashamed to say my son came home and found me blue and unresponsive on the floor.
The poor kid had to perform CPR to start my breathing and heart again and keep me alive till the ambulance arrived.
That was my "rock-bottom" putting my son through that, and I did finally manage to get clean following that.
Did you meet people from the after life during the time you were unresponsive?
damn dude, im sorry
Addiction and alcoholism is a choice
Stay clean n stay safe brother stay alive for your son
your son must love you to bring you back to life. Bravo to him! Bravo to you for doing something about your addiction. It's not easy. I feel so sorry for the men in this film.
Heroin addiction is a like living in a nightmare. It's hell. I pray for these men.
god love them❤

@@LOML423 probably saying he wouldn’t remember his kids if he was high off the drugs
Can thank the Russians for occupying Afghanistan during the early 80s and incentivising Afghanistan farmers to grow poppies to supply Russia with pure heroin. Yes.. Russia wanted a heroin supply for its people. Pretty clear Russia likes to keep its people heavily sedated in alcohol and heroin so the people dont rise up😏
@@LOML423he’s using he’s kids to say he shouldn’t be in there and should be free to feed his kids. But when he was out free he obviously didn’t care all he thought about was drugs.
"He wouldn't remember his children if he were free"
That one hit deep. The Taliban, although brutal in their methods, are doing what's ultimately best for some of these men. I hope the road to recovery goes well and lasts and these Afghan brothers are able to be great fathers again some day soon, inshallah
Sometimes you have to take on the role of the bad guy to change something for the positive. It’s like a children who wants to take something harmful, the father forbids knowing it’s bad for the child, but the child screams and cries and it all looks hard. In the end the child will know the parent was right
I fail to see how starving people who are already going through the hellish and possibly deadly process of unmedicated withdrawals and treating them like they are less than human is either humane or worthy of Gods blessings. The Taliban are evil. They actively encouraged heroin being used and sold when it funded theyre rebellion and now they harshly punish people for it. Its obvious hypocrisy.
Talibans are like communists in worse variation. But at least is good they respect these people or will be full anarchy
that makes the west that caused all this hitler
Yeah, the Taliban are so great I hear...
It’s unimaginable that these people have to go through rehab without any medication, even comfort medicine to combat nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc. Godbless them all
I had to get off heroin in jail with absolutely nothing, it happens everyday in every jail. I almost died actually but I’m good now, sober since then
@@skramzgod did you almost die from the withdrawal itself? Congrats on getting clean
@@skramzgod yes, happens everyday in the west . Two years ago, pain management kicked me out for being pregnant. I’m a burn victim, third and fourth degree, with bone charring, almost twenty percent of my body in burn marks. I was on 20 mg Methadone and steroid shots. I got pregnant, I’m married and sadly, no method prevents pregnancy 100%. My husband is a scientist and I am an artist. I had no place to go and desperately called a methadone clinic. The doctor was shocked, what they did to me. I miscarried in withdrawal on the toilet.
With my new doctor this would never happen. I had a healthy baby girl finally seven weeks ago, three days in hospital, no withdrawal for the baby , I was low enough at that point, because I planned this pregnancy . But I’ll never forget how cruel my old doctor treated me. According to CDC it’s forbidden, to stop opiates abruptly in pregnant women because it causes miscarriage.
At the same time, they kicked others out, one a man that just recovered from chemo therapy.
Going to the clinic changed my view on a lot of things. And I’ve met quite a few former pain patients, that got kicked out , weaned off quickly or simply got addicted. I am thankful I never got that desperate but I can say one thing; opiate withdrawal is hell. I don’t wish it on anyone. Well, maybe the doctor that said they don’t treat pregnant patients and no refill anymore… After ten years on pain medication, without a single issue.
I hope you’re doing well.

Thank you for showing the humanity of Afghan people. Too often they are reduced to numbers and casualties of war, and we don't get to hear them speak.
You call incarcerating innocent people because they have an illness humanity boy are you mistaken without proper medication and outpatient support all of this is useless it's just another traumatic event to add on to the many others of these poor addicts that they go through on a daily basis because of a bad decision they made this shows how ignorant and low of an IQ most of these places have since they can't even put in human resource people two out there city rather than chase down people with guns
That one man who said "he wouldn't remember his children If he was free" was sadly SPOT ON! These methods may be extreme, but at least they're trying to end this nightmare! I feel much more sorry for the wives and children of these men, and I truly pray they are able to recover and live a happy life, with their families!🙏❤🙏
There will never be happiness for those men or women or children in that country while the Taliban are in charge.
They’re not trying to end it just an act Taliban makes billions from poppy production
Trying to end this nightmare? Jody, you are so out of your depth here. Mariana trench out of depth.

You havnt seen the documentary on women and children hooked on it too.
I am into drugs for almost half of my life...I am sober for just 2 years since COVID 19 strike our country..
I love what I am feeling right now...free from influence of drugs,I can think straight..
I decided not to go back to where drugs had an easy access..I do not trust my self still if I can say no if drugs are in front of me again that's why I stay as far a I could to be totally healed..
It's nice to be sober..
God bless us all!!
I feel happy that you have been drug free for 2 years. Your very brave

Being in the grips of addiction is terrifying. It feels like you’re all alone and there’s no way out
this is simply BS.
@@nothingishere111 You my friend, have obviously never experienced addiction or you would realise just how much nonsense you were spouting. I always love how people with no experience with addiction has all the answers! Laughable.
That’s bc we are alone and it’s terrifying . The treatment includes addicting drugs that lead further down the rabbithole
@@patrickskehill5589 there are no answers to addiction because the solution varies patient to patient the best option so far is a different addiction such as methadone or Suboxone they just buy you time while you search yourself for the strength to do the necessary suffering for recovery
@@patrickskehill5589 I don't know, I can't agree. I battled a heroine addiction for 10+ years, and eventually got myself clean off of straight will power. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, and they didn't work for me. They preach 12 steps, and not everyone is programmed the same, so 12 steps doesn't apply for everyone. But either way, during my addiction I didn't feel all alone. I felt far from that. I used to enjoy getting high, and the days when I couldn't afford it, I would suffer withdrawals, but I didn't feel like I was all by myself and lost. No, I put myself in that position... and I accepted it. So it required myself to get me out that position. After accepting the fact that 12 steps wasn't going to work for me, I took it upon myself to get myself clean.. and I did just that. Was it easy? No. I failed many times in the past, but I reached a point where I felt enough was enough, and quit. Not everyone has that willpower, I get it. And I don't fault them for that. My comment is more to point out that I didn't feel all alone, or lost, or however you want to phrase it... and at my peak, I was spending 4-5 hundred a day, so I was definitely at full fledge addiction. If any of you are still using, never give up. It's possible to get clean. I am living proof. If you ask anyone in my family, they all expected to get that phone call one day. None of them thought I would get it together, but contrary to belief... I did. And so can anyone, with enough will power. God bless anyone who is still going thru the struggle, my heart goes out to you.
I feel for these guys. I had 7 stints in residential rehab, 14, in-patient detoxes and countless other attempts to get clean from Heroin. Finally, in 2006, something clicked and I've been clean/sober ever since. Most of these unfortunates will die long before they get that many opportunities. It's just so sad.
A warrior. Thanks for sharing your story. Keep it up!
The solution to recover is you have to learn to hate your addiction more than you love it 😉
Fuck this religion country and government they are CRIMINALS
How long does the pain last ? How many days until craving stops? Please answer if you see this.
@@meowmeowmeow2362 Hey, I'm from Scotland and have been addicted to heroin for almost 25 years. I've had issues with crack and valium too but heroins always been my main addiction. I've been clean many times but have always gone back to it although this time I can honestly say I won't ever go back to it as the withdrawals get harder the older I get. To answer your question you'll start to feel a bit better after a week but it'll be at least 3 weeks before you start sleeping and eating properly. Wish I could tell you it'll be easy but it isn't. Stick in there and you'll get through it. The key is to accept that you have yo go through weeks of he'll to get better and for the first week fuck the whole "one day at a time" thing and take it an hour at a time as it really is nasty but totally worth it once you get clean. Good luck to you. Ps where are you from? I realise we don't know each other but I'm always here if you need some moral support. Take it easy and be strong!!!
''He wouldn't remember his children if he were free''. Sad but true
What a brutal line. Loved how they just let that marinate for a minute. Addiction is horrific.
@wise man once said. u ever been to caucus?u havent 100%!!! I felt so sad. And right then, the old sage dropped that famous line so non chalantly
Former addict. 7 years clean thank God!!❤❤ I quit cold turkey- I don't think I could survive that level of sickness again. The memory is what keeps me sober.
Cold turkey… we’re you in jail? Pretty hard to force yourself to just completely stop without some outside control
@@Turtlefarm no- I was sick of the clinics - doctors ect- putting me on medication and being unsuccessful. But mostly I have a son and I carried alot of guilt that he could possibly lose me if I didn't do something. Trust me- the horrific sickness is something I will never forget. I don't ever want to go through that again. I let alot of people down that I care about buty son was and is my inspiration to stay FAR AWAY from that poison and never touch it again. I finally moved away from my source of misery and never looked back.
@@Turtlefarm I went to clinics over and over again. I had such a hard time quitting, but I also needed to be honest with myself that even coming off the medication was going to be another detox I was just as horrible.
I told myself if I'm really serious- then no more 1/2 way!!
Trust me an addict knows how to play the games with the doctors the clinics with family Etc.
the thing is I wasn't even getting high anymore.
- I was getting sick.
The horror of knowing how sick I was going to get from detoxing that kept me from using ever again when i finally got through it.- because I knew it was going to be real bad!! .
I really need to be honest with myself at that point because I really let a lot of people down
The pain of knowing I wasn't such a great mother- daughter and friend was eating me up.
But my guilt knowing I was lying to the most important person in the world was something I couldn't live with anymore- that person is my son. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
@@Turtlefarm btw- it was a nightmare quitting cold turkey. I handed my son off to a family member for 2 weeks as I laid naked on my cold floor -sweating -vomiting diarrhea, muscle spasms-inability to sleep or eat, keep water or any food down.
The ice cold floor felt good because off non stop sweating then flipping back to cold with hallucinations.
Then of course months and months of hardcore depression.
It was a complete nightmare that I won't ever forget.

The comment section is literally saying the say as you. I wonder if it’s the 10 year mark. You are all very strong to overcome
Wow I have finally met someone who had a God shot like yours except mine was alcohol related. I drank due to PTSD from war. One morning I woke up to get my first pint. Cracked it open and drank that pint in 2 swallows. I remember looking up in the sky after not feeling a thing and said "I'm Done" . I can't explain it but everything was lifted off me. The shakes, cravings, urge and the need to want was gone. My body and mind had had enough. It will be 13 years I haven't touched a drop.
@@AllScarsHealTarotcardreader Noticed the same thing, so bizzare. I, too, put the needles down right around the 10-year mark; but it was the combination of spending a Winter in the very worst (of many) rock-bottoms I had ever been in & finding out I was having my son to do it (love you Milo!).
Took 9½ *hard* years of IV heroin & coke use from a young age to get where I'm at now; just crossed 4-years clean this past February!
When the one addict said the other one wouldn't remember his children out on the streets. But in here he is. That was raw and deep!
That hunched over, arms crossed position is a tell-tale sign of heroin withdrawal
Lol u deff know a lil something 😂cause thas facts
Yup been there lots. Fealt for these guys, how terrible it would be to have a taliban steal your dope and force you to detox... uggh.
@travisjones9010 Yea that would suck. One thing I will say, I've talked to people who've had to kick heroin in jail without any type of medicine to help with withdrawal, and they tell me that it's actually a little easier to kick when you know you have no hope of getting well. It somehow lessens the anxiety if you're able to embrace the fact that there is nothing you can do
Pretty interesting...
Heroin is a hell of a drug, and I “LITERALLY” mean hell. I’m now 5 years clean and life couldn’t be any more amazing. I never realised how much of “LIFE” I’ve actually missed out on until I got clean. I once said to myself, if I could go back and start again I would. But then I realise if hadn’t gone through what I did to learn from my mistakes and the choices I’ve made, I wouldn’t be where I am today so I’m extremely grateful for life. 🙏🏾
God bless Babrack! Giving his heart to so many without compensation in months! Addiction is brutal, but the withdrawals are sheer hell!

I see them cold turkey as they say but in America they have hospitals 🏥 that give methadone Suboxone American people have it easy all they gotta do is put their mind to it because they have all the doctors psychiatrist. They have medication for pain. They got medication for stomach pain they get they feel very well in America you got the best kind of rehab and detox over and Afghanistan and other places in Indiana. I saw they do that cold like back in the 50s that’s no joke. I never did that. I did the punk way I went to the hospital, but I’ve been over 10 years clean.❤

As an lucky Afghan living a successful life in Canada, I can say that Afghan people have suffered so much. 50 years of non-stop wars and violence have been embedded deep into the society and has produced so much darkness and pain that it would take years and years to recover from it. However, what amazes me is the amount of love, determination and willpower that people still have in their hearts. Therefore, I am positive that the country will recover along with its people and become a livable place. Let’s pray for that 🙏

No doubt about it the kids would go hungry first before the dad went with out heroin believe that.
He is not lying. He just remembered his children because he isn't under influence of anything and think clearly at that moment.
He wouldn’t be thinking of them because he would be high true.. but he would be high so not to think of them.. you don’t feel his pain so stop talking like you understand

Very good documentary. The openness, which is openly admitting that the country is in a dire strate, surprised me. Just as with vast areas in Russia, he number of people succumbing and relapsing to addiction will remain high as long as there is no prospect of work in larger areas. What I found relatively positive is that these people seem not to get punished in addition to having to go through the excruciating process of withdrawal.
The elderly gentleman towards the end is absolutely right about motivation. Without it, all plans to stay clean are doomed to fail. You have no counterweight to oppose even the slightest hint of temptation. And you need an absolute mountain of a motive to counter the mountains of temptations on your way out. Number one crucial step in staying sober for any meaningful amount of time.
They don't even have like OTC meds nothing to help with sleep or vomiting and diarrhea
I bet the relapse rate is 100%
Threatening folk isn't the answer though. This is babaric
Excellent point. My own projects keep me focused.
Yes. But how does one “Manufacture motivation”? That’s been one of the hardest part of recovery. Finding motivation, energy, even an ounce of happiness… it’s physically AND mentally debilitating…

At around the 23:00 min mark he speaks of anhedonia. It’s a phenomenon opiate addicted people go through where our brains can’t produce certain vital chemicals. It’s extremely important that it’s addressed as most addicts think things will never feel good again or think it’ll feel hopeless forever when in reality it can take up to 18 months to counteract the anhedonia. I pray for all addicts suffering worldwide. It is only through eachother that we find true strength. We must come together and forge the pathway ahead for our fellow man.
That sounds terrible, but I like your spirit. Keep it up.
there are cases of anhedonia that last longer than 18months could it be years, those cases are not from heroin but from other drugs that sold freely in pharmacies that is the true terror

I can only imagine how bad the withdrawal is with no medication to help alleviate the withdrawal which must be horrendous considering in Afghanistan they grow it and i would think its very strong heroin
I went thru heroin withdrawal in 2008 I was sentenced to 60 days in county jail I didn’t sleep for the first 15 days I received no medicine to ease withdrawals I definitely feel empathy for these poor souls
Longest recorded time without sleeping is approximately 264 hours and you did another 100 hours ontop of that yeah? No need to lie 👍
@@lifesabitch8099 not life man people are btch
Cold turkey is an effective way to quit. You always remember the pain you suffered while trying to quit. That prevents you from falling off the wagon.
I would have definitely said something like I don't have my medication I need my benzodiazepine at that point they are forced to throw you in solitary and relinquish the meds you brought in as a necessity and start giving them to you on time if they don't want to risk a lawsuit

Instead of abandoning the Afghan people this is where the world should step up and help as much as possible. Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Maybe the world should mind their own business!
The world has no problem with the Afghan people. It’s the Taliban.
We got our own effing problems! Stop asking everyone else to solve other peoples issues
All this situation is absolutely heartbreaking
I kicked a cocaine habit in 1981. Cold turkey, no replacement drugs no help. Don’t remember the first 5 days. I was told it would be 3 days but it took 5 days and wore me out.
I just quit cocaine at the four year binge oh my God it was fucking rough to quit im 9 days sober
when i quit heroin i kept reminding myself what i went threw and swore i did not want to go threw that again. it helped
Kicking cocaine is a walk in the park compared to opiate addiction esp fentanyl
I was an addict since 2015 ..searching my next hight was my only thing for me unfortunately after suffering in many rehabilitation centre my life turn upside down i joined indian army and i am still clean and sobriety this is all through my hard work determination and by the help of the almighty ...i can't stop praising the lord
Bro god is on your side
Good job dude
I was part of the Central Poppy Eradication Force from 2004 to 2005. Our mission was to train police to eradicate poppy fields and reduce as much as possible the amount of poppy was grown for production of heroin. The program failed largely due to the Afghan government refusing to do what needed to be done and several missions failed due to bribes being conducted between the drug lord and the local (sometimes national) government. Initially, the Taliban did not condone the production of heroin but eventually found out how much money could be made from it and used that money to fund terrorist operations and attacks in Afghanistan. We, as instructors, were blamed for inadequate training when, in truth, the Afghan National Police were not conducting themselves as we trained them to. There were several who would commit to the eradication and they were excellent officers. However, there were several that were there for the money they were being paid. There were a few officers who were suspected Taliban and we had two of our language assistants (interpreters) who were Taliban trying to spy on us. Unfortunately, the program was largely a failure due to the corruption of local government and police officials.
You should think for yourself: WHY is the ANA so corrupt? What made the ANA and Taliban different?
We have a neighbor here that get addicted to drugs and because of that he got caught by the police and being jailed for almost 2years. When he go out from the prison a lot of things changed on his personality, he became more respectful person than before and and every Sunday he go to church. Every addict or bad people have chance to change they only need assistance an attention. Help them instead and don't ever abuse them cause they are also human like us
God bless these people in Afghanistan. Unfortunately Drug withdrawal is something I have experienced too many times. Unless you have experienced it you can never truly understand how terrible it is. My worse experience was going through withdrawal locked up in a New Jersey jail where they give you absolutely nothing to help take away the pain and illness. You suffer in a small cell, can't sleep, can't eat, constantly experiencing an extreme amount of discomfort and that was a walk in the park compared to what the addicts in this documentary have suffered. May God bless them all
Ameen and keep them strong steadfast Ameen
I agree, Amen. Help them Lord, hurry before more lose their lives. Help them get home to support their wives and kids.
@Amir Menkovic May the Lord Almighty protect you and guide you to the str8t path and keeps you steadfast on your journey. Ameen, and are you clean now?
@Amir Menkovic Alhumdulillah 🙌 😁
I done prison detox when I was 18.they gave you nothing!!! and it was my first ever detox.that detox made me afraid of every other detox,when I tried to kick the habit.and left me in heroin addiction for 20years.I think if I never had experience that brutal detox I could of kicked the habit a lot sooner.a prison detox is suicidal
I might disagree with the methods since I'm from a first world country but it really is eye opening watching the taliban actually care about their community
They don’t care about community. They only care about emboldening the radicalism of Islam which needs a compliant population. For this purpose they will keep them drug free but also uneducated. Just senseful enough to breed dear in them and have them be compliant but not educated enough to override them and their radical ideals.
С твоей страны методы такие набери филаделфия кенингстон
They dont have resources bro. Otherwise you think taliban are insensitive to human pain? They are also humans.
Except when it co.es to women.
@@zazagogua7615at least in Afghanistan they are getting real heroin. None of that fentynal or tranq garbage.
I was an opiate addict for over 10 years and I don’t have a problem with this. I wish they had enough resources to keep people clean and under control longer. I’d be willing to bet a whole lot go out and relapse very, very quickly. Takes a long time for that desire to subside to a controllable level
Worked with addicts professionally for 7 years in the US. Addiction is addiction, anywhere you go. I've heard all these stories before. Just wish I'd had this clip to show some of the spoiled young addicts that thought rehab was so hard, with their Suboxone tapers, massage therapy, and beach front housing
IKR!! 🤦♂️ we used to have to walk uphill both ways in the snow back and forth to our dope dealers house!!! All these youngsters are spoiled rotten with the methadone and Subs they end up abusing anyways!
@@growmiezhomiez8760 Which is why we need to stop using that shit. It can be done without that stuff. But that will never happen because Pharma is one of the biggest lobbies in the US, shit the whole world really. They will make sure addicts are never in short supply and they do their best to squash any alternatives to their "safe" drugs. Fucking disgusting. One of the big reasons I got out of that field, alongside all of the other unethical and illegal practices
Some of us get clean shaking for 4 days on the county jail floor,you know??
It's not all good..I stayed on that cement with 2/3rds of a blanket and that was all...
It was fkn horrible..
Still,it was 20 times better than the hell in this video in comparison...I'm actually thankful for that time on that floor...It made me who I am now...Be Well...
Questionable takes.
As somebody who has gotten clean cold turkey on floors as well as in luxury rehabs on methadone and suboxone (all different occasions), they all have their pros and cons.
Suboxone was by far the hardest to get off of. Felt like I was mildly sick the entire time, for months. Even tried it twice and had the same feeling.
If I had to pick now, I think Methadone is the best way for me, but of course you can still abuse others and get high, and it requires a lot of “support” to stay in a program (and insurance).
In some ways, cold turkey is the easiest.
@@tophernuttle420 nothing like the jailhouse detox. Kicked fentanyl and methadone my last time 5 years ago. Went two months before I got to sleep for more than a few minutes. Sober and hard working now I will never go back. Glad to hear there's others.
Stay strong folks who are struggling with addiction or sobriety. Peace and light to all of you! Proud of you!

American community need to rid their block of ''crack '' Dealer .pill dealers ,'Heroin dealers and the police district commanders need to be look at carefully ,'why their neighborhood are fill with ''crack Dealers , also the courts need to give out 20 years for selling crack that destroyed community and Family .
I've been through withdrawals sooo many times at my home, that was absolute hell. I can't imagine how much pain these guys are going through. I wish they had Medicine Assisted Treatment, that's the only thing that has helped me.
I wish you could talk to potential users to stop them starting
@@theinngu5560 Just based on the economy and normal every day misery, I don't think it'd take me much convincing to start a drug habit. Trauma opens the gate to a lifetime of addiction.
ALLAH bless U ahead, bro....
@@Mediocre_JT the economy bro really?
@@UnderscoreZeroLP I think he means because people can't afford good healthcare or mental health along with having jobs that break you're body down or that you're miserable at or overworked is why people self medicate and drugs work so well in the very beginning and have such profound effects on the brain that people don't get no matter how miserable they are the drugs stop helping at all and end only causing much more pain on top of original problems.
My brother was a heroin addict for 5 years we locked him in the basement for 2 months approximately 60 days and let him start taking walks outside in the night at the 35 day mark but handcuffed to me who’s his brother so he wouldn’t run
But we made it super comfortable and had our family therapist friend evaluate him throughout the ordeal
He came out a new man and is still clean 4 years later
He likes boxing so we hung a boxing back In the basement made it cozy set up Xbox and all the games , put the jacuzzi down there we totally made him comfortable

Stop the terrorism and you'll be at peace in no time. Ask your Hamas government representative why they won't stop terrorising.
also we in Poland Kraków need such strict rules. It is horrible when addicted spoiling those who want to be healthy.
The access this journalist had was outstanding, holy moly excellent story - Thank You
Awesome informational documentary; As a Westerner, these levels of poverty are simply unmatched.
As mentioned in the therapy session’s, these addicts lack the resources to lead new sober lives.
Without a re-entry program providing occupation’s, source of income to support families; Patients will likely relapse back into addiction.
After being addicted to opiates it was a time I couldnt even imagine being able to go day to day without having it, now after being clean for a few years it's hard to imagine living like that again but you still never lose those cravings and urges it's a strange thing , it's so true when they say one day at a time
💯
NO lie about that Bro mw too i ve been hooked 2 and Methadone saved me and its day by day but now that i am not struggling with the dope anymoere i have new problem now i suffer from being broke not having money to survive and support my sick Moms its strange now that i dont chase dope anymore i lost all my making money schemes ans hustles ans i am trying ro be positive and make a few bucks on RUclips but i am having a hard time with that i havent gotten One Donation on m Channel in 4 Months nor even a penny and thats really making me depressed and just want to say EF everything i am gonna get high again and just go nuta i am really close ro the razors edge 🇧🇦🇺🇸 thanks everyone for listening God Bless everyone Peace
Jesus Christ is a present help in time of trouble. Whosoever shall call upon His name will be saved. Try Him in this. He’s not a theory. He forgives when we repent, He hears the cry of the afflicted and He answers us. He is no respecter of persons. He gives grace to the humble, but the proud He resists. Your doing a godly thing by caring for your mother - He will honor it - but call on His name.
Im 33 Years old single mom. I addict heroin for 7years. I've been clean for 2years. I can feel for these guys. May God bless them.
The despair in those men's eyes... Addiction is absolute pure unrestricted suffering. There's so many times I wish somebody would have put me out of my misery. Luckily I got the help I needed eventually.
This is heartbreaking I feel for those people I hope they all get clean and lead a better life
In afghanistan? Why do you think they drug themselves in the first place?
Heartbreaking to see an Afghanistan like this, once a thriving-booming-trading nation caught between 2 so called super powers!
BAHAHAHA...THEIR GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT IS $ 17.49....A YEAR...
Love from saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 stay strong people... we need to see reality 😢 life is test we must help each other ❤
God bless every ounce of bravery and does not go unnoticed by Our All Knowing. I am a recovering addict Afghan American and I pray for my Ummah but Alhamdullilah for Islam. These men can’t find drugs under Taliban, that says something.
Taliban are horrible and this video clearly shows it
I feel so lucky to live in Australia where Detox centers are free, along with the 6 month Rehab I went to straight after. Yes, I was put on Subuxone, but I eventually kicked that too and am very grateful to be alive today after several overdoses and a strong support system behind me.
I have tried to kick Oxycontin and Heroin addiction cold turkey and like everyone in the comments and some have said in this doco, I wouldn't wish it upon my greatest enemy.
If you are reading this and struggling, please do what ever it takes to get off opiates, it will change your life and bring you back to the person you once were.
Much love.
i feel so much more functional on heroin than i do on suboxone, its actually disgusting
@@bugglemagnum6213 do you have any experience or know anyone who used kratom instead of Suboxone?
You live in one the best countries in the world and manage to be drug addict :D Its a truth that from a good life people go insane.
@@bugglemagnum6213 SAME. But I’m clean for 6 months now, on suboxone.
Problem with the feeling way more functional, it’s only when I could afford the heroin. (Super expensive in Australia, now $700 a gram). When I couldn’t get it, I had zero function.
Suboxone makes me able to function. Not as well as heroin but better than without it for sure. And it’s consistent. No withdrawal. And it’s affordable. Thank God.
real talk, cold turkey is just a form of torture and it doesn't guarantee that they won't relapse in the future. they need something like suboxone simply as a placeholder
Considering what a mess the country is in following years of war , this system of rehab is quite well organised in its own way, even if it seems harsh to Western countries.
Also because of western countries
The Sandie's have been using heroin and hashish for centuries, don't blame Europe you dumbdumb@@hobaelala3056
Harsh? It's BRUTAL. Inhumane would be a better word. It's absolutely unacceptable, even for a developing nation. It's torture, it's persecution, it's potentially a crime against humanity. You look really ignorant or incredibly biased to say such a thing
@@michaelvallin55 you’re the ignorant one , judging other systems and cultures through your own perspective. Sure it’s ’brutal ‘ but it’s attempting to sort out a huge social problem with zero facilities and infrastructure which we take for granted ….mainly because western governments have destroyed their entire societies through war . Don’t you think USAs slow drip feeding of fentanyl and other drugs to its population to keep them zombie like and useless , pretty brutal too ?
@@michaelvallin55oh behave. Uno what’s inhumane, western countries letting pedophiles walk free.

At least something is being done. California is running rampant. Even if this approach gets 2% clean, that’s better then doing zero and accepting full blown drug abuse and the crime that goes with it.
As someone who just got off of methadone, then Suboxone, after being addicted to heroin and painkillers, I cannot fathom how awful it would be to have to go through the withdrawal cold turkey in those conditions.
Yeah that's an understatement. Kicking at home with a hot bath available and OTC meds and cannabis etc is bad enough. What these dudes are doing is pure misery
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 Those who have will power will survive.
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973Try doing it in CA prison. Its even worse. 😂
@@Krkak4985 I'm sure they'll all survive. Withdrawal won't kill you but it sure sucks
Did you not hear the man say they have to separate the men before kicking because some of their bodies are too weak to withstand the withdrawals? Yes, heroin withdrawal can kill you.
Thank God I'm sober. March 13 2018. Had my first child, a baby girl, March 10th 2020. For her, I can never go back. But I try to remember those days, so I can be certain at how far I have come.
Afghanistan has gone through war for centuries. Many of them Afghans, I believe have gone through traumatic experiences in their lives whether as a child or even an adult. Maybe they or their parents have PTSD. And drugs are the coping mechanisms. Also, it is their land that's too fertile to grow opium makes matter worse. I pray 🙏🏼 for their wellbeing and will keep them in my prayers.
When you have a neighbor like pekistan and Iran, Afghanistan will never have peace or stability. When they get a good leader, the US and pekistan collectively find a way to get rid of him. And you're absolutely right about the coping mechanism hence most of the young men in their early 20s resort to drugs because they see no future for themselves despite most obtaining degrees from universities and at the end of their completion the can't feed their families. And I have come across numerous cases of such individuals. Those that can't stand their home situation, they take the drastic action of commiting suicide.
Thanks for your prayers man 🙏 appreciate it. And I hope countries like pekistan either wake up and stop with their atrocities against the poor afghans or I sincerely pray to God to wipe out pekistan from the face of this earth. Ameen
Anybody going through an opioid addiction just know I feel for you. You've got this.
Hmmm. Hardcore
@Barbara Boix damn sorry to hear man .iv heard similar stories all to often. It's unfair and unfortunate that people with actual pain have to go through it. I wish you the best of luck my friend.
@Barbara Boix thanks alot yours too. They go through it as well.
As an addict I can't imagine being them sick as shit and being forced buy gunpoint to change my life
@@mark7831 right! I wonder how an addicts body would respond to that.. Would the adrenaline over come the sickness temporarily? Or would it be like every thing else when dope sick and you dnt really care and can't focus on anything but being sick. Definitely a shitty thing it go through.
You'll easily see who's addicted in less than 24 hours.
I applaud that they're doing this for the country. Sometimes you gotta show tough love. I am a former person who had addiction and I wish I had someone to lock me in a room and get me clean, but I am clean now, but I had to find it myself in myself and that took along time lol
God Bless these men who are helping those with such a terrible disease 🙏, it's not the best way nor the safest way but seems to be affected way that works
They will be back on it they need support getting of is the easy part staying of is the hard part and without support they will fail
They aren’t helping. Beating and starving people and seeing them as subhuman “vermin” as they called them, isn’t helping. Not addressing the poverty & trauma that causes their addiction, nevermind not having a support system, won’t work. You don’t even know their success rate anyway
Balanced, fair and well done documentary.
Thanks very much for watching!
This was a great documentary. I love seeing real and raw footage.
Thanks for watching!
Rock bottom. Tough love! Inspirational!!
Hope and love to our Afghan brothers fighting addiction…
And occupation the US has spearheaded the Pakistani government and is using Pakistan to send drone strikes on Afghanistan still after they got kicked out. They just can't seem to handle the loss and they can't seem to give up the money and resources down there
Wouldn't be surprised if we see another 9/11 so they can make an excuse to go back and recruit more people into the army
they don't need hope or love, they need methadone, bupenorphine, or literally just heroin
when the taliban take over Kabul they said they was drug addict in every corner. the U.S had control of Kabul for 20 years and they turn it into california without the movie stars.
@@aadil2248 Can’t forget the money and resources down there? If Taliban could remember it maybe they’re country would not be a worse shirt hole now than when the US where there.
