• Sam's Addiction to the...
I know Sam personally.
He worked at my sober living and ended up being my co worker soon after. He’s an awesome guy who is still in recovery and enjoys helping others 😊
@first last alrighr letsgo
Damm your one fine looking girl
Maggie Engh yea ight
Who cares
You guys do the mc nasty ? Bump uglies 🍆🤞✊🏿👍
Clean 5yrs now from heroin. Best thing I heard in one of the 6 rehabs I was in....”would you rather keep doing the one thing you’re doing, and lose everything? Or would you rather keep everything and lose the one thing you’re doing?” I had lost my job. My home. All materials possessions. My looks. My family. My self respect & dignity. My MORALS. Now today I got all those things back and am the girl I always knew I was inside. The one my parents raised me to be. I started to accept the fact that I was just going to be a hopeless junkie. But I decided to try one more time. I promise it’s possible. Life is beautiful and I pray for everyone still living that life. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy.
That’s an amazing quote. I just wrote it down in my recovery journal. Just got out of rehab today 💜 I’m leaving a stronger woman with 60 days under my belt.
Hope your doing ok Ange. I relapses recently. Almost 5 months sober. Gotta get myself back in some structure. Looking into getting into an out of state rehab. Need a change of environment outside of Ky. Dunno how that would work with my insurance tho.
extremely powerful
"Hope is a poor man's bread" the best advice i got while in rehab. Hope is nothing, you have to do it yourself.
you ever wonder about bread?
Once you know that you've had enough, it's a great feeling... I'm 3 months sober and not craving it at all. Can't wait for it to be 3 year's.. I am never going back to drink and drugs for the rest of my life...Amen
Anthony White thank you for sharing with us! Keep up the great work!
Amen amen
I’m almost 5 months sober and it’s different for everyone but I’m very careful on saying I’ll never drink or do drugs again but I also got help just to give it a shot because I didn’t want to die. For a long time when I was using I didn’t care if I lived or died so it was a big step for me to start caring. I haven’t seriously craved since the first couple months when I was still in rehab but I really can’t tell the future. I just know that I want to give this recovery thing an honest try and if I want to go back to using drugs after I can but I will be better off for trying. I’m just focused on doing what I can to see what life as adult is like sober. I still have mental health issues but atleast now it’s way easier to deal with them
Update us 😄
And anthony did u still make it ?
I've never done heroin. But I struggled with meth for a long time , started dabbling with cocaine and alcohol at 13 years old . I'm glad I am sober from everything since April 3rd,2021. I'm 32 years old now.
You can tell he is a really good guy. I’m glad he is doing better and was able to turn it around.
I was addicted to the hokey pokey but then i turned myself around.
And that's what it's all about
Ha ha that was great. ❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO
@Jeremy Jazwinski common dude it was just a lighthearted joke
Badoomping!!!
Sam's story is very touching, from the pain and shock of parental divorce to the loneliness of teenage life. Drug usage and reliance might be fun at the initial moments but it's always a hole too deep you cannot get out without help. I am happy that he's eventually found the needed help. Thanks Detox to Rehab
I’m 50, and just wanted to reach through this screen to hug this kid, tell him he’s got balls by doing the right thing! Wishing him the best still! 4 years of *Just for TODAY* 😊👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
You’re awesome♥️
Guy's a lot like me, stole alcohol at 14, got caught and ran, tried every drug out there, got hooked on shooting prescription opiates and switched to slamming heroin at like 17, went to rehab, etc. Heroin is so good you'll ruin your life and your body for that high...
Carmen Braidford Been clean from heroin for like 7 years and haven't smoked crack or shot powder in about 4 years!
RIGHTEOUS Yeah, maybe like 3-5 times a week, cut back from smoking daily just cuz for some reason one day I didn't feel like getting high as often.
Steven Assanti Did that for a while too, drank about a 5th and took several mg of klonopin daily for a couple years after I got off heroin cuz I was still craving it and used that shit as a substitution for my drug of choice...
Steven Assanti I already for the most part quit drinking a while ago, just on a low dose of benzos that I actually have a legitimate prescription for cuz of anxiety but thanks, I definitely know how serious it can be.
Steve Jackson do you feel any effecs from the drugs these days?
Here's how you tell if your drug use is being done responsibly. Ask yourself this question: am I using this drug to enhance my life (that I'm already content with), or am I using this drug to replace my life
Jesus Christ no drug use is responsible
@*daniel cepeda* then you better stop consuming soda, coffee, sugar , most tap water, and most all processed foods. ps sugar was shown more addictive than cocaine in a scientific study with lab rats.
daniel cepeda --- Of the following, which do you consider to be a drug: 1) Heroine, 2) Marijuana, 3) Caffeine, 4) Methylone, 5) Nicotine, 6) Alcohol, 7) MDMA. Others may answer (I'm interested in people's stance on this subject)
Дьявол marijuana is a drug just not a bad drug lmao
weed is responsible
Sam's narrative is highly moving, encompassing everything from the hurt and shock of parental divorce to the isolation of adolescence. Although drug use and dependence may seem enjoyable at first, there is always a hole too deep from which you cannot escape without assistance. I'm glad he eventually got the assistance he required. Detox to Rehab is grateful
Sam my friend... Being sober can be fun :D I am so happy for ya mate. And the fact that you have a family that supports you will help a lot. You are a kind of person that everyone should be proud of not just your parents and sisters. Because what you did took guts! Good luck in everything you do in your life Sam!
lame
Lame
Great story of real life, you can if you want it...the change is in you, a day without it, is a day in real paradise..👍
I like that he is now involved in helping others suffering addiction. That is very wholesome indeed.
Sam is living proof that recovery is always possible even with the most deadly vices. I really admire his courage in sharing his story and the fact that he picked up all the broken pieces after such devastating trauma.
Every addict can totally relate to Sam's story. If he can do it, then any addict can. Never give up!
Such a kind soul 😩 feel so bad for people that get addicted to drugs ugh it’s so sad 😭
Being able to overcome addiction is a true determination. This is an act of bravery Sam.
He's on everything but rollerskates
The Devil's Advocate LMFAO
He hasn't stood up yet, he may have them for a quick pirouette after sharing so much 🤣
Ability to withdraw from addiction takes determination and courage. Sam's story taught us that we can overcome anything in life with determination.
Im oddly similiar to this guy parents divorced, 5 sisters. Only thing is im sober/clean and have no friends lol
Brandon Rezenk smoke weed it makes you feel less lonely
Zerky Thanks for the adive but i forget to mention im broke af too lol
R E T R 0 W A V E no it’s not
Kevin Korotitsky for me it is
Jesus Christ Bullshit when I smoke I think more . I reflect on things I did right or wrong . Not everyone is the same though .
What a wholesome story. The best part is that he was able to overcome his addiction.
Sam, you've got a wonderful way of describing things. I liked listening to you. You really should be proud. Hopefully you stay clean and have a long and healthy life ! :)
I picked my self again and now I'm back on track. He is an awesome guy who is still in recovery. You are at that moment the person . Thanku.
Damn.... watching this till the end really gave me some hope
abez You can win.
❤
Keep goin yung nigga
It is so inspiring to know that you were able to overcome the addiction at last. There is still hope for anyone still trapped in the same net of addiction as you were.
I commend you!! YOU can do it... I don't know you but I see you do have the strength ...stay focused...proud of you!!
Yolanda Romero command bud not commend
Being addicted to substances can be very challenging, thank God Sam was able to discover himself and find his way out of it.
Happy for you man
I am very for Sam on his journey to recovery. It takes a lot of commitment to get over addiction.
This is why i've done so much research before taking any substance ever. The only drugs i'd ever touch are weed, LSD, DMT, Mushrooms and truffles. Those are physically safe to take, but like with everything moderation is key. People underestimate weed too, it shouldn't be smoked everyday.
Facts some people smoke wayyy to much weed a day. Like i only smoke maybe once a week and i only smoke so little cause i have a heart disease so i chill out.
It's inspiring that you finally overcame the addiction at last. It shows that anyone going through similar problem can also do it.
“harsh truth to swallow” note how he didn’t say “pill”
Thank you for your story and honesty. I pray every 14 year old out there hears Ur story and realizes they also can get help and a good life waiting to be lived.
Great story, props for changing your life around.
A lot of people suffer from addiction. This stories hit home. I struggled with addiction for years. it wasn't easy but I'm living a better life. I guess it all boils down to determination
Makes me laugh how alcoholics , smokers and even cocaine users that say heroin users are losers etc .... Hypocrites
no comment yep!! Alcoholics are pretty huge hypocrites
Yeah heroin users are real winners... LOL
well i mean heroin is pretty objectively worse than all of them. like dude have you seen people on heroin?
Sam's story of addiction is indeed touching. thanks for sharing your experience, I'm sure you're helping lotsa folks.
"yeah ive been sober for 4 years and 3 months...i still look like a fuckn junkie tho"
It’s such a vicious circle. I have people who care about me who want me to reach out when I am struggling, but when you’ve tried to get clean so many times, you feel like you can’t keep asking for help, cause the same thing keeps happening, and people lose faith in you.
I love to listening this I am also a hash addicted person
Having the inner strength to turn things around especially fighting addiction is not easy, I'm happy Sam showed that.
Drugs can be used or misused. Not everyone got addiction problems, we just need to start educating people about the topic with real facts instead of myths, and actually help those who struggle.
Julie Antonsen Check out psyched substance channel, bro
DєѧԀ Pooʟ he's da best
Julie Antonsen never heard of anyone not abusing heroin...
Bro that stealing shit story made me get mf flash backs or sumn
Julie Antonsen use heroin responsibly and let me know how that works out for you.
It's Really a Miracle for Sam to have recovered from 3 most Dangerous Substance.
This is an Inspiration to all going through Addiction 🙏
When hearing about these addiction stories and the climb they took to drugs like heroin there always seems to be one common trend, age. Every time they start drinking/smoking around middle school. Never touched anything till I was 17, still bad but waiting a couple of years seems to have deterred me and many others away from harder drugs. Maybe because instead of seeking Percocets in high school I gotta worry about studying for them finals.
APallday28 that makes no sense
Sakes story is a testimony that many people can still be free from addiction. Your videos are always touching
Dude not smoking weed for a day sucks ass I couldn’t imagine heroin addiction or anything along those lines
bro same
Camaron Carter try the wim hof breathing technique next time u dont have any weed, shit makes u high af through just breathin
x 47elements ok lol thanks for the idea
Camaron Carter It's like being dry X a million except you don't just have a bit of anxiety, your whole body hurts, you puke and shit your guts out, you're covered in cold sweats and you can't sleep...
Steve Jackson damn that sucks
Sam's story of addiction is indeed touching. I congratulate him on his victory over three most addictive substances.
Holy shit some of these kids start soooooo young. Blows my mind.
bmillerdrums it's unreal my friend now I know why kids should have hobbys and be in sports man
Blows my ass too
I respect him for freely sharing his story with the world. I believe it will touch someone.
oof this why we need drug ed classes in high school
They teach us about drugs here in Canada and I'm not gonna lie they are honestly so useless.
Drug education mostly says everything but the truth. They tell you drugs make you feel terrible and it's all bad blah blah blah. Yeah after so long it does. But in the beginning, they highs are incredible and amazing. And these kids who try it who are genetically predisposed to addiction will think they are lying, and continue using drugs and then eventually, yes they do turn on you and eventually it's not longer fun. It feels like your walking on glass and living in hell. And once it's impossible to quit on your own without hell, that's when it becomes impossible. And you do it to not be dope sick, to be able to function normally. And it just feels like you're taking medication prescribed by a doctor that doesn't make you feel anything but normal and functional. If they bring drug education as a subject for schools, they should teach about how it will be in the beginning, and the science behind the drugs, and behind addiction, the short term effects, long term effects, and about the different recovery options such as medication assisted treatment, intensive outpatient rehabilitation, in patient rehabilitation, sober living facilities, 12 Step AA and NA, drug court programs, etc. Everything people should be educated on because most families have at least one family member that suffers with addiction. Education is key.
Jumpier Wolf right? All of them are like “HURR DURR DRUGS DONT MAKE YOU COOL” when in reality, the VAST majority of addicts start due of mental issues or traumatic events in their lives.
Sobriety pays because it gives hope. Sam, thank God you were able to keep your hope alive.
Thanks, this really opened my eyes.
I am happy for Sam, it is not easy to come out of an addiction. Thank God for his recovery. Detox to rehab thank you for sharing this amazing story of recovery.
Smoke the green.
Limitless I'm sayin
even the green can be mean when you get so used to feeling better
You can stop smoking green whenever you want tho.I used to smoke heavy for months straight then stop for another few then start up again.
then your version of heavy is weak my nigga
also months I am speaking about years
It feels so good seeing people heal from their past experiences.
My wife when she was really strung out would ask me to pull my foreskin over my nose. Even with the neighbors there.
I don't know you but you seem like an amazing person. I notice that you really care about the person you could have been during the time you were using an drinking (at a young age too, which speaks to your good maturity ☺ .)
There's a quote I really like that I think you mastered in your recovery, Socrates said: "The unexamined life is not worth living."
I'm so glad you feel that well-earned pride for yourself now, I'm proud of you and I don't even know you personally! God bless you ❤
Addiction is one of the things I feared most because to come out of it is not an easy task. Sam's addiction to three things is more scary and so challenging, but I'm happy that he overcome it.
This is a typical case of following the crowd. Don’t be a sheep.
Sheep?......he looks like a Nazi.....person
@@shermanmerman9956 you're a true troll race baiting pos don't worry about telling me what. You think I am I'm a pos drug addict who has nothing or no one and honestly I just want to die but you are a worse kind of pos than me
We r all sheep
@@dustinburrow5904 i would say more like cattle but both work fine!
Beautiful Hair Ent so you don’t drink caffeine or take ibuprofen.
Thanks to Detox To Rehab for the great work she has done on Sam recovery. God bless you and your team.
Don’t blame this on the “skate scene” we don’t do that. Quit giving us a bad rep.
it’s not that deep Ramiro
I was about to say the same thing. skateboarding kept me away from substances
skating kinda is surrounded by drugs to be fair. but so is anywhere
Ramiro Mares idk where you grew up but the skating scene is filled with drugs and partying.... Your area must've sucked..
BTFO junkey
Sam, your story is so touching to hear. You're truly courageous. Thank God you are now sober.
I thought this kid knew what he was doing until he said he had a sweatshirt draped over his handlebars.. wtf?
Right.... Plan ahead bro
Ikr😭😂😂😂😂😂
He Got Addicted to Harmful Substances and this affected his Life.
It's really Great to see Him Recover after
Every school for him is high school
I'm touched by his story. I hope he'll never forget how worthy he is. Always.
why all the young kids being shown on these "shows"? i want to see a 60 year old that's 5 years clean talk about his story. and I'm the one who's going to do it. I'm going to ask my buddy to sit in front of a camera and just talk.
changalo ! Joey diaz
changalo ! Ill talk you film bro. Im 50 been there done that.
There’s not many 60 year old addicts, most die young
Pull up nigga fuck yeah joey diaz
Lol you could go to any AA meeting to hear that story work on your 5th step pal jealousy is a bad character defect
After being sober for 18 months I relapsed
I drank for like 15 days and I was worse than ever. Fortunately I picked my self again and now I'm back on track. I feel good. Love from India ❤️😍.
I am Proud of that
I'm 16 and I'm ashamed to say that I can relate to this man way too much... I hate myself.
We are in this together and there’s nothing to be ashamed of if you are willing to change. There is a better us within us all.
I am a mother of an eighteen year old son so I hear you with a mother's ears: Please get your life together. Find out why you use then seek help wherever you can. There is help out there. Life can be so much more than what you are experiencing in your young life right now. You can have a good life. You can learn to love yourself. You can be proud of yourself one day soon. You break my heart, I have hope for you.
Dude PLEASE take care of it NOW
I just turned 24 -_-. Didnt do shit besides smoke snd drink until i was 20. And i fell inlove with coke, then perks, oxycottons, sniffing heroin, shooting heroin, smoking crack.

I hope your doing better. We believe in you
Sam's story is very inspiring. Because he knew that he is already addicted to three different kinds of substances but he found his way out of it am proud of you.
Molly: Max once a monthpsychedelics: Max once a weekweed: Whenever whereverhard drugs: Never
bro yu dumb ass fack
Psychedelics once a week? My god
molly max 4 times a year psychedelics max once a month.
minexer u can do that but the general thought is md once a month and psychedelics once a week due to the effects lacking if u do it more
@@goodlad3606 if you do psychedelics once a week the effects will start lacking.
So courageous of sam to share his story. God bless you Sam. You are a winner.
Sounds like me to a point. It is fun for a while. Then you cross the line and it takes over. By the Grace of God, I have over 23 years clean an sober. I still have to work the program. The addiction will take you places that you never planned to go
What a great comeback form taking the most dangerous drugs to working with people to sober them. Really happy for you
So I guess xans, meth, and other amphetamines aren’t more addictive than nicotine or alcohol
Miss leading title. Xans are more addictive than all three in this title.
Lol right I was once at a point in my life smoking meth all day while also doing heroin all day and I saw the title and thought "oh maybe he can relate" then dude started talking about coffee and cigarettes I was like bro chill 😂
@@ArizonaAkinTv 🤣😂
Not what they meant my it literally being more addictive, they are saying the most common 3
@@ArizonaAkinTv To be honest, I would say yes cigaretts are more addictive than meth
I am really happy to know that you are now sober. Keep it up and do not lose hope because your past does not defy your future.
I gave up 2 of those 3. Dope and cigarettes ok but touch my coffee and I'll cut ya!
Addiction kills and destroys life. To overcome it is by determination. Thanks for sharing.
Need to teach how to safely use drugs and understand them inside and out in schools from an early age
Exactly
Really you right, through dedication and drug rehab, one can overcome addiction. Alot of things will want to pull you back but strong will to change keep you going.
I was just like him been clean for 3 years now. After doing 7 small jail sentences don't do drugs fks up your life..
Keep it going, Marc!! You're doing great!
I used to be on heroin and opioids! Remember wanting to die. I have a UA-cam channel now showing my journey as a new business owner juggling a full time job. Also closing on my first house in five days. God is so good!! I love seeing others heal. I could relate with him. My parents also divorced at 14. Drugs were the only thing that numbed the pain. I hope you’re doing good bro.
wow skate people getting really offended here. Chill! It was the case for his type of skate group. Nobody is saying that all people that skate use drugs or accept people doing drugs. He just told the story out of his perspective.
There's always a good story to tell after recovery from addiction. Congratulations to Sam.
Wtf i watch while baked asf my lord
Stfu
Getting involved in addiction is very challenging for Sam. His story is very inspirational and am glad for his recovery.
3 most addictive things are cigarettes, heroin, and methamphetamine. Obviously cigarettes arent the most destructive to the person, but they are the most physically addictive
the most addictive substance is SUGAR
Sugar is very fucking addictive if I don’t eat any sugars for like 2 days I legit go into withdrawals😂😂😂😂
KittyCow well we'll. Cigarettes are so damn addictive. Started at 42 now 50 yep you read that correctly! Stopped weed coke etc. But these damn cigs are the devil!!
Andy Evans dopamine isn’t a drug it’s a chemical in the brain. Some drugs play on dopamine receptors
Andy Evans dopamine isn’t a drug my dude
Sam's gratitude for life after all he's been through is really inspiring. I hope he can serve as a good role model for others, especially those with dependencies on heroin and alcohol.
Lmao the alcohol part sounds like how I was throughout my teens. Used to go in stores walking out with hand baskets and a backpack full of liquor almost everyday of the week lol used to make a killing in middle school and hs. Never got caught, been chased a few times but then the stores got used to me and the employees wouldn't even trip anymore
im sure
Man so far after watching hundreds of videos this is the best well put into words video that I have ever watched about trying to quit. Fentanyl
All of these guys should start testosterone after quitting this shit to give them the edge to really get aggressive and back on track. Get some muscle and extra energy and drive. Feel great about yourself again. Drugs erode your self image and self esteem
Yeah Bioidenticals are awesome i get mine mixed up by Collier Compounding check them out! My doctorknew I had a temper at times so she said no at first try but once i quit sleeping at all on top of about 5 other common symptoms she was real quick to put me on it. She called this place that makes Bioidenticals this guy instantly named off all my symptoms i was having. Andrew from Collier Compounding is super smart. Do you know much on using testosterone creams? I won't use the injections it freaks me out but heck im just 29 and my testosterone numbers were 200ng . A normal adult is pumping 900-1200ng of testosterone normally without any help.
Jackscran not all drugs. Psychedelics such as LSD, Shrooms, and DMT can teach you a lot about yourself if you treat it as a learning experience rather than a good time. After tripping on LSD I learned a lot about myself and how I was too focused on what other people thought that it was what was really getting in the way of me being me
S.N.T. 23 testosterone is a drug . J cuz it in your body don’t mean it ain’t a drug
Sam is fortunate to have escaped from three most addictive substances. Kudos go to Detox for rehabilitating people's lives.
So he’s addicted to sugar, caffeine, and nicotine great
He meant alcohol I’m pretty sure but yeah lmao
Pravne Konzultacije more people die from heart disease than heroin lmao

Sam got Addicted to Harmful substances and it must have been really tough Overcoming it.
This is Motivating and inspiring!
