R.I.P Tina, so tragic.
She sounded so confident in this tape. But around 2 years later she relapsed and overdosed last December 2009.
Everyone relapses with addictions unfortunately it's learning experience.. the ones never addicted will never understand. To anyone still suffering your not alone
That's so sad :(
She looks like Catalina from GTA 3. What a beautiful woman.
Weird comment
I am proud of this girl. She is obviously very intelligent but addiction is not about intellect, it's about filling an emotional void. I hope she is okay.
She actually looks really good for being an addict.Damn good! Lucky and blessed.
Keener Greener weird comment
@@jimpalmer4916 I mean not really 💁🏿♂️ haven't you seen faces of meth?
U like cholas?
Any updates on her?
How did she keep herself so put together?
Strongest person I've ever seen/heard.
Thank you for your story, Tina.
Genetics?
It's dangerous either way you do it!
It destroys the mind and soul!
Former 7year meth addict here.
good job!!! im in my 4 month of drug court... and i love the program so damn much.... its helping me out so damn much...
@ipb7883 She was raped when she was 12 years old, then in an effort to self-medicate her depression she got mixed up in drugs. 12-year-olds make mistakes, traumatized children make mistakes, and then they're hooked and your reaction is to feel contempt? In the end, she got clean, which must have been really tough to do. I've never used drugs but even I recognize it's ridiculously judgmental to look down on recovering addicts who got hooked at a really young age.
Your story is an inspiration. I have many family members that use and this is really nice to hear that some people can recover from drug addiction. Please continue you sobriety. I just happend to be clicking away on youtube and found your story. Keep you head up girl. Your a very strong & smart young lady. God Bless
In spite of all the idiot comments on this vid I would like to commend this young woman for sharing her story. It takes courage to talk about something so personal, and negative in your life. So many people try to hide their past, when sharing your story just might help somebody else. Thanks for sharing and may God help you stay clean! One day at a time and you have a great future. Stay Strong!
Stay clean! Thank you for sharing this with us Modesto Bee and Tina. All the kids should here this message.
Thank you Tina for sharing your story. May Gods blessings be with you for the rest of your days. it takes a substantial amount of courage to tell your story due to the amount of shame that comes with that type of behavior..... LMH
to those who over came this addiction my hat goes off to you all keep up the awesome work you can do it
i hope she's ok. I started using crystal when I was 21 and now I'm 28 and I hate it. it started as doing it every 2 or 3 months because I only did it with my sister then my sister got evicted and moved across the street from where I live now I do it every day I still sleep every night cuz I drink after I use the meth. ima dies eventually I'm sure uppers and downers are horrible to mix
don't give up
in 3 years I have only met one person who even mentioned quiting meth. All of the people I talked to have been on it for 9 + years ( I have met a lot of people) and display no desire to quit any time soon. it's comforting to know that there are people who stop and move forward
God bless this wonderful woman for sharing her story.
@kamaljotsdhaliwal Did this girl really die? How do you know? Is there an article or something you can post?
Sorry for such a late reply but I had come across an article. I’m looking for it.
Tina thankyou for all your support and being such a good friend...now a days. I love you, your an inspiration, and I'm very proud of you. *n*
Wow, what an open minded and great girl she is. She's overcome one of the worst diseases known to mankind, brought on by what I can gather by having a terrible upbringing. It may sound obvious but it's always the smart, intelligent people that manage to beat this illness. Here's wishing you the very best in the future from a fellow recovering addict. xx
Wow good for her! I'm so glad she got help. I see myself in her so much!
BIG wake up call! (= Thanks Tina
Shes a very beautiful woman. Its 2020 I'm curious what she's doing now and how she looks
She passed away in 2009 after a relapse. RIP.
I live in San Joaquin county. Grew up here, moved back here after I got out of the army. Drugs are still very prevalent in our society. It's an almost-everyday thing here.
I live in Lodi, which is like five miles from Stockton.
At least the public is becoming more aware of addiction and getting an education on it like they never have. Things are looking better. I've traveled around this country a couple of times; there is a problem with a large proportion of the population being addicted to something everywhere I have been; but at least now people are starting to understand addiction and it is being treated better.
SF is the worst
Wow what an eloquent and beautiful woman, and lucky that she survived meth so well.
She must have an incredibly strong body to be in such great health.
God bless her, I hope she stays clean for the rest of her life and fulfills all her goals .
Hey just watched this bigups to that chick for speaking.. that takes guts I think alot of people will find this helpful at the right time when they are willing to listen.. nice one
i really admire ur story i think it can change a lot of peps life i give u mad respect
I spent a little time on meth about 10 years ago and could stay tweaked for about $10 a day. You don't need much to stay up for days.
Alchol is a drug. Most people don't view alcohol as a drug.
you can see the sadness in her eyes :(
That is a real young age to start a drug. She must have had a real hard time dealing with her situation.
I hope she full fills her dreams and stays clean. Hallelujah God is good!! She will change lives!
what a beautiful lady ,good on you for your honesty,cheers paddy bacon
@kamaljotsdhaliwal (normalbobsmith rocks) Do you have a link to the story, I couldn't find anything.....
SAD.. HOPE SHE STAYS CLEAN, SHES SO PRETTY..
@kamaljotsdhaliwal How do u know u died i tried googling it & theres no real article on her so how do u know that?
What a beautiful, intelligent and articulate young woman. 1000 watt smile! I wish you the best in life Tina. Be strong and sober and you will achieve all of your goals.
She died omg - so sad
for any of you who were not fully listening, she was asked how does a young girl make money, so she said babysitting. later on she became a thief to support her habit. multiply drug addiction by 10 years and you get a pretty hefty sum spent on drugs. and heroin (she became a heroin addict for those of you who did not even bother to hear that) is pretty damn expensive. don't hate on her, be glad that she is trying to help people.
Tina you are a beautiful young lady.Hope nothing but the best for the rest of your life.
I am so glad I am clean from meth for over 5 years
I am a meth user and 2 days ago I faced something unbelievable that can kind of describe the Devil Inside me. I can see him n was reaching inside of me. But I call 911 and came directly to me and followed by the ambulance. Thank u lord (:
Your strange
She reminds me of someone I miss
good girl keep it life has so much to offer you god bless you..
Tina.. Haha the irony.
I'm a non adict who has tried to help many addicts, never regret the fact that I have no way to relate to the suffering they go through. Tough enough just trying to be there for them.
I hope she can continue to help other people and remain clean. Some people are traped in to this by pushers who lie to people and offer them drugs that are stronger then they claim. (hemp lazed with sometning stronger)
I think Tina would make a positive friend. Here experience makes me to better understand the bad effects of drug use. If you could make more videos of here that would be awesome.
Do not judge because your judgement can counter act right back in your laps.... god bless those who try and walk the right path
Tina Your Beautiful
I can relate to your story,
Your not alone
and Good Job on Stopping
thx for the 411 wish u luck tina where ever u are
@rooflee actually what i said is that i spent about that much on drugs over the entire time i was doing drugs. when i was younger i babysat and then after that i started working and then eventually just stealing. it wasn't all from babysitting, i only did that till i could get a job.
i wonder hows shes doing now? i hope well!
HELP HER LITTLE GIRL!!!
i love her spirit too
well done! I hope she makes it
Very pretty smile, good for u stay clean and keep positive there is so much to seen in this world.
by any chance did you get meth from MAZE BLVD. in Modesto. im from turlock
it is really sad...im with a beautiful girl for like...2 years..and she has been using meth.. freaked out on me for no reason at all andkicked me out 3 days ago...cause teh meth makes you HATE a person and act psychotic..man..alll i can think about is seeing her face..touching her hair..smelling her.sleeping alone sucks...it really sucks and it is sad...every trace of this drug should be eradicated from the face of the earth it is EVIl..it destroys families..relationships..souls..fucking EVIL.
I love you too Tina :) GJ I had and have to fix myself too ^^
I wonder where she is now. I hope she’s doing alright, she’s such a Beautiful woman.
She relapsed in 2009, and sadly passed away.
yeah...it's fukked up..im still dealing with this crazy person...hope something changes.
Crazy that I used 2 cop dope wit this chick every day! The world is a better place now that we're both sober.
I've been really depressed at times.HUGE. BUT never did drugs. Maybe a little marinara very occasionally but that's it.
she's pretty cute
hope she's doing okay nowa days
I posted a comment here about.12 years but she relapsed and passed away in December 2009.
@@SinghInNYCWhere can I read a story of her passing ?
@@romanspiritualsongs I will try to look for the obituary but it has been close to 14 years since she passed.
Gob Bless You Tina!
that sounds like a relationship I was in, I think the chic I was with was an undercover tweeker.
does weed have any withdraw symptoms?
I can't believe how many 'wannabe gangstas' there are here, trying to act like such badasses. Grow the hell up, and listen to this girl if you ever want to succeed in your lives. Drugs ruin lives...
end of story.
@Morriack very true!
$700,000 she spent on drugs? As a teenager? What a load of bullshit.
so good !!!!
Such a nice woman, shame such bad things happen to such good people..
look at her eyes
I love her eyebrows!! So cute ^.^
This girl is a celestial being.
she is beautiful hope she stays clean
I'm glad she's been clean for 6 months but she's still young and has a long way to go. I know people whose been clean for nearly 10yrs only to relapse. I bet she is struggling each and every day to stay afloat if in fact she's still clean.
She looks great, is intelligent and knows how to articulate well...heroine is the worst as far as I heard.
I posted a comment here about.12 years but she relapsed and passed away in December 2009.
I left u a message, someone should leave an anonymous message to social services, you would do the little girl a favor, if she acts violent with you, can u imagine what could happen to that little girl with her and her friends being high and psycotic, what ever u do, don't do the drugs'
she is so pretty !
@20bball10 what did he say?
@superxdee90 just fucking stay away. i just recovered from an addiction. first and biggest step is realizing that you got a problem and getting help.everything will work out fine from that on.
"It's a disease"..how many times have I heard that.
Gotta say, I think that's a crock of crap.
Anyway, good on her for getting her shit together. Hope she can keep it up.
Body chemistry is also an important factor too.
shes bomb and smart , am glad that you got out of the harsh life and turn around your life and got all your shit together,,,,,,,,,
that's pretty crazy, i dont know how people can keep that stuff up. it just goes to show how resistant the human body is, and how resourceful we could be.
As for social / casual drug use, I think it's irresponsible to fail to draw a distinction between what I (for lack of a better term) categorize as "hard" and "soft" drugs. Many people can use pot or alcohol socially without becoming dependent. Vanishingly few can do so with heroin or meth without becoming utterly dependent. Some drugs are just more addictive than others; some are so addictive, more than 99% of users would become addicts. It's about chemistry, not willpower. No shame in that.
@rooflee Thumbs up, as that sentence is the funniest line - just imagining it - that I have heard in a while. Anyway, as you alluded, she must have been sitting more than babies to clock that kind of cash.
Whoever runs these programs for meth addicts is a "Pure Genius". Good way to show how bad drugs really are!
If we are painstaking in this phase of our development, we are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
I want to know her who is she
211for11 so weird...
Am I the only one that thinks this girl looks like Angelina Jolie when she full on smiles? She's really pretty and reminds me of her. Good thing she got out of the drugs. She can probably help alot of people with her words. :)
@islapkittens yea i know. she was walking down the street on orlando florida. on orange blossom trail.
Sheesh. Crank was your first drug? That's rare. I think I met one or two people ever that got addicted to hard drugs first. And I'm in AA, so I talked to many addicts
It truly saddens me to see in just the first few comments alone, that others could and most definitely have nothing else better to do than to be so judgmental against the ex drug user...perhaps if they'd not simply overreacted before making a complete fool of themselves by leaving such a comment (because ya'lls *credibility error that you so graciously found* has been explained into a bit further detail in the hopes that by some odd chance...your peabrain sized mind may be able to accidently understand precisely what this individual was saying to begin with. If not, then all I've got to say regarding the stupidity of others is...whatever you do, don't you even begin to allow their negativity anywhere around, near much less let their harsh judgmental words affect any part of your mind set. It seems as though they could possibly be jealous of your success and trying to make an attempt towards anyone claiming to be doing well.. simply put: they haven't or don't want to improve the quality/quantity of their personal lives, yet at the same time they would rather see others be right there beside them all miserable and trys anything to pull us down to their own drug using lives.. that thank goodness we've worked our butts off this far and deserve nothing but: encouraging and uplifting words no matter where it happens to be from. Haters are everywhere and will never go away but just look back at everything you've accomplished and don't dare give in because of something as dumb as how a grown person can't figure out how it would be possible...REALLY?? one quick question, has this particular person doubting what you know to be actual events of your life..have you taken anything they have said/thought and then based your decision upon whatever they said? I'm highly doubting it so don't give it a second thought now either..just continue doing you as you appear to be doing pretty dang good..
If you want people to read your comments I recommend keeping them short and concise. I didn’t read your comment for that reason.
How intelligent she is.
She looks good.. She was a addict with a self esteem..
Its like she just told my life
no meth mouth.. one of the lucky ones
This woman's Beautiful she's really brave!
A good hobbie to stay off drugs is planting tulips, I LOVE U TINA!
still want to know her
