My Brother passed away from an Overdose of Fentanyl, last year. People, please stay away from drugs.
So sorry mate you government need to wipe out cartel ,my he rest in peace
I have overdosed on heroin laced with fentanyl 5 time's. And by the grace of God I'm steal here living in a sober house in Massachusetts trying to get my life back in order.
I hope everything works out for you.
Stay with it praying for you
@@manuelgarcia3952 Same for me Manuel...as SOON as I read the last word of his post, I began to pray in Jesus Name for not only Darryl's recovery, but FULL DELIVERANCE!!!! God is ABLE to DELIVER HIM!!!! 🙏🙏
Fake it ‘till you make it! ❤❤❤✌🏻 And hang in there!
You should get on subs or Methadone and stay on it forever in my opinion. Or else you are going to relapse and probably die
I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful and smart son. Thank you for sharing your story in hopes to help others. That is very unselfish of you. ❤️💜💙
So sorrry for the loss of your beloved son, Tyler 🙏
What a talented , smart boy RIP Tyler😰🙏🌈
He was lucky he had such a loving, supportive family. A lot don't have that.
He was lucky he had money for drugs. I never had it.
my brother died over 2 months ago idk what he died of he he might of been crazy but I loved him dearly my mom died 2 years ago from kidney failure I was always worried about him and her life could suck sometimes Jesus is Lord only he knows why things happen 😢
A loving supportive family, money for drugs, everything he ever wanted, but yet, was dumb enough to take a street pill. Unbelievable. What a waste of life.
I was very moved by your story. Loss is such a huge thing in our lives.
So so sorry. I know your pain. I miss my son so much. He too was so smart. Had it all.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. The government needs to figure out how they can ban and do away with Fentanyl. These pharmaceutical companies need to come up with some other way to help stop this crisis with Fentanyl.
Hugs to you Julie Hines.
IT was painful for you to share your story but you did it with dignity and courage. It won't be in vain
Wow this one is Heart braking to loose a child at ne age is just Plane Wrong this boy had everything to live for so smart so talented so bright I am so sorry you had to go through thisI am praying for your Family
Dear Julie and family, Deepest condolences on your loss of your beautiful son, Tyler. It was not your fault. Sharing your story will help someone. May God give you strength and peace in the coming days. Hugs.
All across the USA it’s one beautiful person whose light and energy was extinguished too soon leaving grieving parents, relatives and friends. How absolutely tragic. Tyler must’ve been a genius with a very high IQ. I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
Thank you for sharing I lost my niece in September 2022 to that drug so sorry for your lost praying for you and family
So sorry for your loss 🙏RIP Tyler
That is so heart breaking, to see a Mother go through this hard times of losing a son or daughter to this ugly nightmare of a drug.I ve lost a few nephews to this fantanol crap and it brakes my heart because they're so young and smart but sadly they're blind to this crap and to see their Moms like this Lady going through this nightmare is so.so sad. May he R.I.P.
It just takes one time and death comes knocking So sorry for your loss Wishing him well on his Spiritual Journey
this inspired me to start talking about my brother and now my 3 yr old son who overdosed of this deadly drug I started Mothers against Fentanyl
You seem to be a wonderful person I'm sorry you lost your son may he rest in peace I've od'd several times but someone always saved me I got clean almost 4 years ago and it's the best thing I've ever done
Getting clean is hard! Staying clean is HARDER! Congratulations on doing BOTH!❤❤❤✌🏻
My daughter just overdosed a week ago, and I found her. They brought her back. She bought two fake Percocet's, but she knew they were laced with fentanyl. I can finally say that I can relate to the mother's out there who have found their children. This opioid crisis is pure evil.
Hi! I’m thankful your daughter made it through. I’m wondering if you are aware that you can have NARCAN at your house. I also carry it in my purse. They just made it so you can get it over the counter but if you get a prescription from either your doctor or I believe in most states, the pharmacist can write a prescription then the Narcan can go on your insurance and you pay whatever your insurance is.
Our county health department also gives Narcan out for free. As much as anyone needs is all free, so that’s another avenue to get NARCAN .
Anyway, I hope you if you don’t already have NARCAN it’s your home and carry it. I hope you do look into having some on hand. It can be the difference between a life and a death. I narcan-ed my son once, a few years ago. It is absolutely uncanny how that stuff works! ❤❤❤✌🏻
This isn't an opioid crisis. This is a fentanyl crisis. Fentanyl comes from Mexican laboratories who synthesize it using precursor chemicals shipped from China. It's all part of a plan. Thinning the herd. China is slowly taking over this country without firing a single shot.
And your daughter isn't too bright taking pills she bought off the street. I mean, come on.
So very sorry for your loss. I lost my 22 year old son from a brain bleed! Finding him gone was so incredibly awful. He still had his earbuds in listening to music! It’s life changing for sure! Parents should never ever have to bury their kids!
@@scarlettmartinmd9131his daughter is alive for what I could understand! Sorry for your loss
These social media accounts Snapchat Instagram FB all of them that post accounts of people selling these narcotics need to be investigated and prosecuted. I've seen them myself exspecially on Twitter people posting pictures of assault weaponry & drugs & how it's allowed to be posted is mind boggling. Something needs to be done about it 🤬
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I have been struggling with a fentanlyl addiction for a long time and the state programs they have aren't built to help people like me. They're built to recycle people to come back bc of the money. I wish I had the money to go to a good place that would actually help me the way I need . Maybe one day I'll have the money idk.
NA is free so is AA
I died for 5 minutes about 6 months ago from a fentanyl overdose luckily my wife who is a nurse was home she is the sole reason iam here
maybe on the spectrum a little bit (like myself). Your brain literally burns like a furnace nonstop. Math and science problems help the mind hyperfocus and you get into a zone where you feel balanced and clam. It's unusual that someone like Tyler would choose prescriptions to help with his self regulation, but we all have our own ways. I wish I had a loving, supporting mother like Julie.
Thank you for sharing and tremendously sorry for your loss. I think as parents we need to tackle this head on and from many different angles. From mental
Health, to drug trafficking, and try to catch it from all angles. I have a 16 year old. I’ve suffered from mental health and addiction issues and I don’t want to find myself having to cope with the loss you have. It’s hard to talk about and we don’t want to think about it but your video reminds us we have a responsibility to do what we can to protect our youth. Bc it could happen to anyone . Prayers to you and your family.
It’s only the idiots that sell pills to kids , for cheap 2 . Like $6 a pill.
I live in NYC and fethanol is killing people everyday. I feel bad for this family. My condolences.
My housemate had a back ache and a friend at work gave her a Tramadol pill for the pain. I guess it didn't have fentanyl in it because she is still on this side of the dirt.
My son Chris died age 19 also, drugs and alcohol took him in his sleep
My prayers go out to you and your family. Thank you for sharing, I did share with other.
Your precious Tyler......so beautiful so smart....he could have defiantly solved this planets problem,especially the poison of fentynal....I have lost 4 family members to this poison....one of my dau in laws had a 6 month old son...all of them had little children....being numb is ok
"With that high IQ,comes high anxiety". I think this detail is often overlooked.
I'm sorry for ur loss I have lost a couple of friends due to fentanyl overdose I reached out and got help I have 5 kids and a grandson that needed me so I hope people take ur story to heart and people need to know there is help and people like me who wants to help so if anyone wants to talk get a hold of me and I'll do my best to help a parent a son or anyone
I’ve been a Verizon wireless customer for many, many years. I never knew that this company supports & does so much to help victims and families struggling with substance abuse disorder. That’s fantastic ❤ to Tyler Joe… rest in heavenly peace and to his Mom…your bravery & never ending love for Tyler shows. We should all be so fortunate as to have a “Tyler Joe” in our lives‼️😇💔🙏
Mrs. Hines, I am so VERY SORRY for your loss!! Tyler was a BEAUTIFUL young soul!! I too, have sons!, two adults sons and one 13 y/o grandson. Your courage and God given strength to share with the world for awareness and support! is BEYOND what I could even fathom of being able to do, so THANK YOU SO KINDLY!! I am in my last semester of school, with hopes of graduating in Dec. 2023 as a Licensed Therapist. These videos that I've watched within the past month has given me an awareness like NEVER before. We have been recently talking to my grandson, who could be faced with a WHIRLWIND of peer pressure as most teens are! THANK GOD! he doesn't right now, BUT that could all change!! so we're making him aware now!!!! in hopes and MUCH PRAYER that he will NOT chance it just to try it even ONCE!!! because he could be GONE!!!! within minutes!!! I pray over him and his classmates EVERY EVERY DAY!!!!! because they're so vulnerable!! THANK YOU!!! please accept my heartfelt condolences on your precious loss! God Bless You! I will definitely be praying for you all ~💙🕊🙏
thank you for sharing
I swear I feel like I get survivor's guilt from being able to recover from my addiction I just pray anyone can get out of it I don't wish that upon my worst enemy
I still Have the 100 Proof Bottle That Me n My Friend Kilt Together On top of the Watergate in DC. He Saved my Life that Night From Falling off a 3 story Building At at a Party After stumbling Back Coughin off the Blunt. He Dapped Me Up right Before I stepped Back n Off n pulled me into a Hug Tellin Me That he Always Got Me... He Died the Next Weekend A Week Shy of his 21st birthday 🎂 n I felt His Stiff Toes In the Hospital Bed While he was Brain Dead but His Organs was still Working. SUCKS Think of him all the Time my Right Hand Mans Kurt...
Such a terrible waste of beautiful , beautiful souls. May they all rest with the angels.😢😢
Drugs need to be legalized and sold by refutable sellers to put evil dealers out of business
Thankyou to Julie for sharing. Blessings to you 🙏🙏💜💜
Very sad
God.bless you,so sorry for the lose of you wonderful son
Fentanyl = one strike and your out. This still hasn't been fully recognized as the public health crisis that it is. Education of teens and young adults regarding the extreme risk of fentanyl and other opioids hasn't kept pace with the spread of this pandemic.
Say "NO to "THAT FIRST ONE" 💝
I have a hunch that young people have a sense of futility about the future.
My daughter was going to this junior college in Costa Mesa the apartment where on car campus there. Was a girl that was home schooled all her life and when she started college. I guess. Went to a party. And up dieng of a fentanyl poison I will never forget that the good news was the guy that sold the drug is going to be in prison for the rest of his life
Hardly a fucking health crisis... personal choices
Ignorant ass comment
You’re not the brightest star!
And we all are in this together it's a bad disease but I did beat it and I'm on an MAT treatment plan but I haven't used for almost 3 years
Keep rocking on. Don’t ever slip. Don’t slide. My child died at 35. Sending love.
I want to say this to the announcer as gently as I can, and I want to express my deepest heart-felt sympathy for anyone who has experienced losing a family member, loved one, friend, or someone you know to drug poisoning and overdose. I lost a 24 yr. old cousin to an overdose back in the 90's. She left a beautiful 2 year old daughter behind....
What we are seeing now is a public health crisis. But every crisis has a root issue. The root issue for this crisis is personal choices. individual(s), whatever their reasons may be, have made a personal choice. There is always a beginning.....a FIRST ONE. I will explain.....
All addictions and chemical dependencies begin with THAT FIRST ONE - whether it be that first cigarette, that first drink, that first joint, that first pill, that first line, that first hit. THAT FIRST ONE. Many many tragic and untimely deaths from fentanyl poisonings were the result of an individual just trying THAT FIRST ONE.
TRUTH: Prescription drugs, used as prescribed by a medical doctor and dispensed from a licensed pharmacy are legal , regulated, and free of illicit substances. Recreational marijuana is now legal in many states and can be purchased at state licensed and regulated dispenseries if you are 21 or older.
Children, teens, young adults and the like need to understand that purchasing any drug from a dealer or accepting pills from a "friend" or someone you think you trust outside of a legitimate prescription written for that individual exclusively is not only illegal but they are potentially risking death. It may look like a duck, and walk like a duck, and sound like a duck - but things are not always as they appear. Carefully veiled under all of those feathers is the Grim Reaper waiting to take you. And its name is Fentanyl.
We parents are now faced with having hard conversations with our children, teens, and young adults. And this is the first line of defense - the family. If your child is suffering from any mental health issue, seek help and treatment for them immediately. This is the second line of defense. If they need medication for depression or anxiety or for any other mental health issue that can be treated and managed by prescription medications and psychotherapy/counseling, do not delay. Then there are those who are seeking to self-medicate to escape their pain, sadness and feelings of despair. Perhaps they believe "getting high" by taking illicit street drugs is going to take their mind to a better place. But then the illusion will wear off quickly and that ONE THING won't be enough. I have heard it said that the first high is as high as you will ever go, and then its all downhill from there. And before you know it, you have become an addict. That is, if you havent lost the Fentanyl game of Russian Roulette at this point.
I have nothing but compassion for those who are addicts and are chemically and psychologically dependent. And they struggle in more ways than we all can imagine. They need compassion and support as well.
In closing, I wish to address the illicit drugs being sold on our streets that children, teens and young adults have access to either through dealers, distributors or from someone you know. It only takes JUST ONE. Whether it is the very first ONE or the very last ONE. Either you will become addicted or you will die. It doesnt matter whether its from a "friend" or someone you trust. There are options available you that will not turn you into an addict (and ruin everyones lives, including your own) or even kill you (Which would devastate the hearts and minds of everyone around you). There is hope. And there is a better way. And it is the way that leads to life. Choose life, and SAY "NO" to JUST ONE. Blessings 💝
I feel isolated now because I’m not a V-teamer
💔
Sobriety isn’t for everyone. Also, homeless trash addiction isn’t the alternative for people who can’t or don’t need to stay sober.
You aren't wrong from a medical point of view. The problem is that medical grade formulations (suboxone, methadone) that are regulated and safe, they treat the physical aspect of addiction but they do not treat the emotional or genetic components. Probably a vaccine is a more promising solution.
Do we need to legally supply opioid instead if getting them on the street
25% or more of street drugs are laced withe Fentanyl or Tranq
When a kid goes off to college he/she can also die from overdrinking alcohol. I never had any extra money in college so I couldn't buy beer, cigarettes or marijuana.
I think you missed the point of this clip.
@@Julia-en1ok Not really, having extra money for drugs, cigarette, marijuana and alcohol IS the problem. You have to have the money to buy it. I had none.
@@crand20033 - The problem extends WAY beyond money. If having money played a role like you imply, only wealthy people would be dying from fentanyl, and that is not the case.
@@Julia-en1ok No true buddy, I didn't even have an extra 5 dollars. My dad paid for tuition, dorm and books. That is all I had. I had no money for anything whatsoever.
@@crand20033 This video is not about you and your time at college, it's about the fentanyl crises going on today.
THE DEVIL IS ALL IN THIS DRUG TO MY YOUNG BABIES TELL PEOPLE NO IF U DID NOT GET THEM FROM A REAL DOCTOR REST ON CUTIE
And! He was South Paw 🤭❣️
Im sorry but its hard for me to empathize with people who are made a clear choice, are in their right mind, to choose to do drugs knowing its fifty fifty and you take that chance. I tell my brother all the time do not expect tears at your funeral if you get in a dui and your the one to blame, and you happened to hurt someone else too. "It only takes once," thats what we preach to our kids about pregnancy why isnt it common sense for drugs? It makes me angry to see that it has to be someone who never did drugs to all of a sudden get the attention of the nation of something we've been asking to get rid of for awhile now.
When are we going to start blaming humans ? A. Probably never.
The one thing that irks me about all these documentaries is how they all say it was accidental poisoning. My daughters best friend died of a Fentanyl overdose and she knew she was taking drugs mixed with it. Most of these kids know, they just think they are invincible. My heart breaks for all their families left behind.
@@josephinevera9966 then they need to go bye-bye. Thinning of the herd.
😪
Sadly I have 2 say by my own experience we have 2 make this come out in da news cause da media u tube even though it helps but da news is way more in view 4 ppl 2 c p focus more watching da news than in media and I say from my own experience da news is much world wide world view how ever we want 2 call it than da media get da msges 2 da news ppl if u want explosion of good news God bless da world and much respects 4 those who r suffering 4 there loss u loved 1 r in heaven
Should have just gotten on a Suboxone or Methadone and stayed in it. Relapsing is too dangerous these days
Tragic
I'm wondering what's called in these kids to do the drugs I'm working Kids teenagers and young adults That we have found with these children Ain't a And the parents have no clue that they haven't They have They need mental health and you have to date bubbling you have the kids being bullied on the Internet there's something triggering this that they're not telling their parents because you can't tell me today that nobody knows how dangerously these drugs are nobody's putting a gun to their head to take the drugs they know it's dangerous so why did they take the drugs That means we have fine working with these kids done in something Needed You need to take them places you need them to feel like they're important that there's somebody and one thing a lot of parents do what you hear This is my house it's my way or it's the high How do you think that makes them feel Love light care I do they feel less than there's so much going on here beside the kids taking the drugs was God gave us all free will and that's not a child today even 10 years old I don't know this drug is dangerous😮
shit, powerful
FENTANYL: "THE GREAT ALLY".
WAAAAA😫😫
Yep
We also have to think about members of the public that are experiencing depression that leads to suicide. My life is kind of shity right now unfortunately it's because I didn't or could not save for retirement. I've had a lot of jobs in the past and they're all contract I never was able to save anyting for retirement. I'm a exhausted Expendable product of predatory capitalization. I live in a state we're basically you have no workers rights it's considered an at-will state. In the 1990s it was terrible for me because I've always had jobs I didn't last very long either because the company failed, or because of the wrong business model we're only got paid based on the job performed. The amount of work coming into the garage or to the shop was terrible and so are my wages. Predatory capitalization they're not as fascism has prevented me from having any kind of retirement and now I'm over 50, I have diabetes and nobody hires old people.
@TheTechnicianWithaHeart Just wanted to say .... all your employment and other life experiences means you DO still have much to offer.👌 If you can get a handle on your diabetes now, have it managed the best you can -- and that may involve some education sessions with a Diabetic Nurse -- then there IS a path forward for you. It may not be the one you expected .... it may not be in a garage or machine shop .... but you are a thoughtful communicator. Just letting my mind go here .... I could envisage you working as a Diabetes Support Worker, a Teacher's Aide, a school bus driver. Anything different from your past jobs may require some Retraining. But I get the feeling you're up for it. No denying, you've got a tough hill to get over at the moment. I wish you the very best .... draw on the strength of your ancestors.
That’s the scariest , when you’re so smart and you have a drug problem . You’re brain is probably on go as it is & you add drugs to the mix . A bad combo😢
Codified law
His risky behavior in buying a counterfeit opioid pill from the street is the real issue here, not the ingredients.
It may take not been some scary dealer but another highschool peer these drugs are super accessible over social media
Expired drugs just laying around the house ? 🤔
A really bad video......just come out and state how he got involved in drugs and what was the best solution in saving him. Stop all the fancy meaningless video garbage.
The main reason for this video should have been how to stop kids from getting into drugs.
But that would involve being responsible
You look like a smart mother, but you didn't teach him to obey the leaders of your country, the world. You didn't teach him to find the right answer, but only to blame.
Your precious Tyler......so beautiful so smart....he could have defiantly solved this planets problem,especially the poison of fentynal....I have lost 4 family members to this poison....one of my dau in laws had a 6 month old son...all of them had little children....being numb is ok
