I was sure she was going to die which she actually did a couple times! So glad she was able to pull herself out of it and is now back with us. Hell of a story and I’m happy to have been at least a part of it.

    • @joshuadill7849
      @joshuadill7849 Рік тому +1

      Methadone was worse than suboxone. Methadone was like herion to me if not worse. Methadone withdrawals about killed me. I know it helps some, but most get 10 times more addicted to Methadone then herion. Its was so hard to get of Methadone. The clinic here would allow you to be one the dose you feel comfortable on. I went to 120mg a day. I saw other at closer to 500mg spilt doses. They were taking 250 mg split doses twice a day. So 500mg all together. Yes it does save some but its just as addictive. Scary.

    • @joshuadill7849
      @joshuadill7849 Рік тому

      Suboxone worked the best, it dont have opiates in it like methadone. Suboxone has opiate blocker in it. Methadone is still an opiate. Methadone is pretty much synthetic herion. So pretty much pure herion with no cuts at all. PURE. im not saying Suboxone is the only answer but its a hell of alot more safer and better then methadone.

      @@joshuadill7849 ..... Suboxone absolutely has an opioid in it. It's called Buprenorphrine. That is a synthetic opioid. Now, I developed a massive opiate addiction that resulted from being hurt overseas while in the Marines. The doctors at the Veterans hospital had me doped to the gills for years. At one point I was getting morphine 100 mg pills 3 times a day, Dilaudid 8 mg 4 times a day, and got 180 roxicodone 30 mg pills for up to 6 times a day for breakthrough pain. One day I got a new do tor who told me I was on 2 much and she took everything away and put me in Vicodin 7.5 mg and only gave me 90 a month or 3 a day. I went into instant, severe withdrawal from now having such a small dosage from what I was on so I started buying pills off the street. That soon turned into heroin which was cheaper then buying pills. Finally I was speedballing and injecting heroin and cocaine at the same time just to kill my pain. I went to rehab and they put me on methadone. That worked awhile but when I went to get clean and the withdrawal was worse then anything else including heroin. I started using again and after another 2 years did rehab again. This time I did Suboxone. Suboxone was a Godsend. I was on Suboxone for almost 3 years and then quit it cold turkey. I never had withdrawal symptoms and it was the easiest thing in my life. April 27th, 2024 will mark 8 years clean for me. Suboxone saved my life. And I used it as directed and never once had a problem and quit it with no side effects. My doctor gave me a small supply after I told him I was quitting in case I had any symptoms. He gave me 8 of the strips and told me to call him if I needed more or if I had withdrawal. I brought all 8 of those back to his office and put them on his desk to give them back to him.

I know people love JD Delay, and I do too, but I also like somebody who can come back out of these awful situations and be as polite and genteel and put back together as before, even if wiser and more understanding.

      I’m sure you’ve heard this many times but 12 step programs work. I cleaned up 38 years ago in AA. People in the program are a pain in the neck but after time you will be free of your addiction and then make deep friendships. Eventually you will find that there is so much reward in helping others which is the opposite of what your addiction allows you. All the holding hands and shouting hi is crap and did not exist when I started but you have to get over it. I think God made a bargain with me at the start. « If you can put up with these people I will let you stay sober. « Good luck and get a service job as soon as you start.

    I'm impressed by your story. Thank God you're still alive, and able to tell it, and you're now helping other women. Many girls don't choose to be victims of domestic violence, but you did. You were popular in high school, you had many friends, you had lovely parents who cared for you, yet chose for that man because he was violent, because he was a drug dealer, and because you thought it was exciting. That's the hidden nature of women, they hate nice men, they're looking for somebody who will dominate them, and even beat them up, because their brain or their belly tells them that this is a real man. So they learn the hard way. But God came to you, He saved you, and he has taught you the way He wants your life to be, I'm so happy for you. And that last line, is a really good advice

      Nobody chooses to be a domestic violence victim and nobody expects it neither but once it starts your brain does not think the same.

That speaks volumes and shows why so many men suffer in silence or they aren’t seen as being victims too by society!

    I appreciate her willingness to accept 100% responsibility and accountability. however..those things are still attainable while accepting and understanding it probably didn’t start with her.
    Generational dysfunction is the real deal and early childhood puts us on a healthy or unhealthy path. The attachment style we learn as young children travel with us forever until we seek help to stop that cycle.

    I was bought up in an abusive and controlling home and subsequently went on to be in several abusive relationships. I've been single now for 15 years as I just can't trust my own judgement.

    I had the same mindset that he wasn’t hurting my daughter so it’s okay, until the day he hurt me with her in the bed right next to me, I grabbed what I could and ran for my life.

    Have you ever thought about getting a cohost? I think it could be a great help, and here is why.
    Some of your interviewing tactics are odd - there are routinely missed opportunities. At 35:13 she says, "Now, my last name while I was incarcerated, was either going to kill me or going to help me. And I used it to let it help me."
    You then asked about her nickname - which was a great question because it had such a great story! but.. You never followed up on the importance of her name. Saying her name could kill her or help her is a powerful statement, and I am still left wondering why she said it.
    I feel like a cohost could really help catch things like this (I have noticed similar mishaps in other episodes, I will start pointing them out when I see them!) because it probably happens because you have a lot going on. Its hard for one person to run a show and do everything!
    Please consider a co host :)

      I think he does a great job. Too many people talking/asking questions lends itself to people talking over each other. Keep it as is.
