Beautifully written. Gj,Tracey.

My Dad left me with 24 mostly high end custom rifles and about 15,000 rounds of ammo. Unfortunately in 2010 I was in the first 7 year leg of the day to day search for heroin. I didn’t really understand the value at all and unfortunately the pawn shop made out like a bandit. 2 of the guns were WW2 full automatic which are illegal. A Thompson submachine gun and a BAR 30.06. I sold both for $800 because the pawn shop told me that was their value. In 2011 those two guns went for around $30,000 each. Mostly because of the historical significance . But today they can fetch much more. Replicas sell for $15,000. A few years ago I visited that same shop and the owner said the transaction never happened and he has never seen me before. Well he died not long after that from a heart attack. Oh well
That’s a whole lot to deal with
Even with one child and eight grand kids we couldn't take all the furniture and stuff my grandma owned after she passed. We had an estate sale, donated several truck bed loads, filled a 12ft dumpster and still ended up leaving stuff in the house when we sold it. There was just so much.
@@JustMyLife7_24 i understand. My mom’s place was packed to the rafters
I kindly told mine that they should spend thier money how they see fit but pls dont do it as my inheritance as I clean out houses for people and it all ends up in the trash. Leave ur kids real estate, not tchokchkes
@@renaldamarkos7913 very true
It’s exhausting.
@@lorisauceda5401 absolutely soul draining
Love you Tracey! I've been following for a long time. Still as cute as last time <3 Would love to have a chat or do an interview about your books and your life experience. I would love to learn from you, I'm three years sober this December 23rd. Sometimes I stagger and crave, but that's just my ego. Love you <3 :3
😂😂😂😂😂 Tracey, you have the best sense of humor.. and maybe it’s cause I’ve lived that crazy life myself but this is so funny because it’s honest af 😂😂❤❤❤
You are so right about getting off opiates. Bad idea to hook up with people while in recovery. Relapsing back on old patterns of behavior is common before the actual relapse on drugs happens.
And your decision making process is so flawed at that point
You're an inspiration Tracy. You look and sound good
Tracy, did you say 12th stepfather? Holly Molly.
So proud of you Tracy.
Congratulations on your sobriety. I feel for the people who are still suffering the consequences of their active addictions😢
Im glad you're doing well now. It's hard being without a home.
I love your insight! I'm so happy for you!!
Deporting field workers and charging massive taxes on food from Mexico.. what could possibly go wrong 😅
@@elleash3040 ooof prices in 2025 are going to be 😖
Tracey.. you’ve lived an amazing life ❤
I have fortunately. I’ve had 9 lives like a cat
@ i say that too.. lol I should be dead but I’m on my fourth life now haha. I love watching your videos cause it’s a reminder that we do recover and we do create families and lives. Merry Christmas Tracey
You are doing great now and come a far way🎉❤
I’m happy for you and those who care about you
I’m so glad you turned your life around . I’m a mother with a 40 year old daughter struggling with those demonds now . She talks out of her mind . In her mind there are like 5-10 people talking to her all day. I 🙏🙏all the time for her to get better 🙏🙏🙏
It took a few months of rest and food for my mind to really clear up
Glad u survived that, Enjoy life now
Cats saliva is toxic to rabbits so you should keep an eye out. I have a cat and rabbit i always keep close eye on them. Im not too sure of the chance but thought it would he good t9 let you know
Thats one fluffeh bunneh <3
❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful bnuuy 🥰
at least you are honest... for sure is the hair
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I look like I’m ready to switch into flats to go to my desk job
@ hahaha at 15 Tracey you look amazing now
You look good ❤
A lot of people see addicts this way
As someone who’s gained a lot of weight since having my baby last year.. I love this We’re fat people 😂 but we’re hiking dammit!! 😂😂❤❤❤
#3 is how I got off heroin ☺️ with subutex in between. thank you
That’s so great! Congrats
Holy shit Jessica is still alive ? This is mindblowing to me.
So good to see you doing well! Thanks for the update on everyone.
what a great doc!...i watch it from time 2 time....never been on drugs (but should have been) but i love how you just knew that you were going to change your life in the doc and you did, thats very powerful. namaste
We've exchanged emails a few times. At the time I was struggling real bad with H,F,M(the bad one), C. Now I'm 4+ years clean and I do youtube too.
Thank you!
Was his name spankey
Thank you for the update. I would watch this documentary while in active addiction and could relate. I have a year and some change now and relate to this on a whole different level now. Sad to hear some didn't make it, very happy to hear that you and a few others did.
Have you ever knew people that had health problems from the needle? Cause lately ive been addicted for almost 8 years and now my health has been feeling like its failing, my chests and head hurt every day that i can't take it anymore, watching you in this movie makes me wanna go sober but its so hard,
Only asking all these people I see addicted act like they are okay and from my experience, being addicted that long is causing pain, and not withdrawal pain
Loving your book so far. Hope all is well ❤
I’m so glad you are enjoying it
Thank you 🙏🏾 for your contribution to the film and helping raise awareness about the issues people dealing with substance abuse face. I truly feel addiction is not a crime - but more an illness. I hope you continue to have a happy healthy life.
Thank you. I really appreciate you stopping by
Like #100! Thank you for the update, Tracey.
Like 101. 🥳👍
Dude, this the lady from that documentary in San Fran I think. That was one of the grittiest grungiest rawest docs I’d ever seen at the time. I used to smoke hard n sit n watch it over n over. 4 years sober myself. Drugs are such a time waster and a soul stealer. Stay up Tracey💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😤😤😤💪🏽❤️❤️
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 1 Corinthians 15:3 that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ❤
Hi..... I remember you from that HBO documentary and I kinda fell in love with you ❤ it's so good to see that you're still fighting and trying to help the people!!! Keep Going Strong ❤
@@chrisbarbee8650 yes lve been sober a longggggg time
As soon as I saw your face I remembered you
That’s me 😂
Tracey.. you’re a hero of mine ❤
That’s so sweet. Thank you
@@traceyh415. I saw you in a documentary YEARS ago when I was in active addiction.. then I saw you had gotten clean and became a counselor. If you can do it and I can do it.. ANYONE can. Much love Tracey.
@@buickcityfilms very true. I’m living proof that people can change
@@traceyh415. I just finished a book about my life.. working through trauma and addiction/mental illness.. I gotta ask.. Where’s YOUR book?! I love the short videos but I wanna read the book about your life!!
@@buickcityfilmsI published a book in 2016 called “the big fix: hope after heroin”. It out there in hardback, paperback, and an audiobook that I narrate. They also interviewed me for NPRs fresh air if you like that show.
Hey I saw the documentary, and know the struggle as well. God bless I'm so happy for you. One day I'd like to email you, I have questions
What type of questions?
Thank you for being honest on you lying at the end lol and yes it did make me feel better.
It’s a whole process
7 years clean off heroin, now it's alcohol
Thank you so much Tracy! I’m so happy for you. This documentary was my favorite along with “Brian on the Blvd”.
I haven’t heard of that one
