Hi, I'm Jackie & I'm making this channel to share about things I feel are worth expressing, many of which relate to surviving trauma, drug addiction, mental health issues, etc. I'm a recovering drug addict & alcoholic with 9 years sober so far and counting. I have a dark past, we get into some of that here but also lots of recovery stuff too. I'm not here for attention, popularity, or to sell you on my lifestyle. I’m here to share my message of recovery that can live on long after I'm gone, but I still like when I get to connect with you guys . I try my best embrace and welcome ALL feedback because it does help me grow. I hope you find something here worth watching and sharing.
My tried & trues for staying sober through LOTS of temptations, stressors & triggers
I find sometimes the holidays can be a lot more complicated, triggering and stressful in resisting temptations. Here are things I do that have helped me maintain long term sobriety and mitigate risky scenarios in my life. I use these strategies during the holidays as needed and year round.

How untreated trauma felt + what actually helped me heal
Переглядів 42Місяць тому
Sharing what it felt like inside my head with untreated trauma; feelings, flashbacks and thoughts that didn’t allow me to be present in the lives of my loved ones. The traumas I survived were holding me back from living and enjoying life in recovery. Being sober felt like torture not a gift until I found an alternative treatment to help me heal through my traumas without talking about them. Aft...
How & why meth’s now more powerful than EVER & made in LIMITLESS supply
Переглядів 972 місяці тому
The rundown of how meth is being made & trafficked in from Mexico in the most potent form to date & in unlimited supply. I explain the shift in how meth has been manufactured since the early 80’s to now. It explains why people enter psychosis, schizophrenia, hallucinate visibly, audibly and tangibly. Also how someone can deteriorate so much more rapidly on the dope being made now. This is relev...

I hope sharing my very untraditional route into recovery reaches someone out there feeling isolated and surrounded in bleak hopeless darkness just as I ended up in. If that's you, don't ever give up on yourself for good. You can recover in your own way on...
