#fentanyl #skidrow
I was on fetty for a year and a half after a 15 year addiction to a number of other things. It, by far, took me down a path of addiction I had never experienced before. Been clean for almost 2 years now. Thank God
Congrats bro
Congratulations and keep up the good work 🙏🏽
YeAh I had a 10+ year addiction to H, once they started cutting with fent, it got bad quick. Also gave me more motivation to quit. That shit sucked
@@manicmondaypodcast8008 Thank yall for real 🙏💯
Bless you
I'm 3 years sober, and I watch these videos as a reminder of what will happen if I relapse. I'm thankful every day that I get to wake up after the damage that I've done to my body from these types of drugs. I hope anyone who is struggling with addiction is able to get help and recover. All it takes is to want it.
EDIT - THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE KIND WORDS! Such an amazing community on here. GOD bless you all. PS, I'm going on 4 years now. We do recover!! Stay strong. If I can do it, then you can too.
Good for you Scott. Day by day doll
Good to hear you quit it Scott. Stay sober n stay strong🍻😎
Day by day Scott. I have members of my family with addiction challenges. My beau has gambling addiction so I get it. xxoo Big hugs from Philly!
I been clean since 2017, I was homeless & on heroine for 7 yrs & I agree a reminder of a relapse . I believe I won’t make it if I go back.
@@e.salinas6553 Day by day doll. I have family members with addictions issues, alcohol, opiates and my beau with gambling. Big hugs from Philly! You can do it!
Susie is smart as hell and so well spoken. I truly hope she gets the strength and help to detox and finds her ways in life.
but you think shes good with numbers? i mean she would be using 432 k of fentanyl in 10 years. 43,2 k a year.
I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to fentanyl for over 7 years. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. It's just amazing how psilocybin mushrooms treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, fentanyl, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice! I went on a microdose treatment for a couple of months and within the first week, every sight of a cigarette got me questioning why I was doing all that to myself. It really works.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I lost my son to this a little over two years ago💔. He was 25. My life will never be the same. He took part of me with him. I’m shattered
My only child and daughter 7 years ago. At 33. I feel you mom. 🤗 Hugs 🌹
We lost our sons girlfriend, she was only 17. My heart breaks with yours. I’m so sorry
Sorry for your loss
I'm so f***ing sorry.
I’m so sorry for you son!❤️
My brother Bobby passed away from FentanyI in June 2020. The rehab he was at had to stop services (group therapy, one on one training, etc) and his part-time job had to lay him off. He relapsed and overdosed from FentanyI. He wasn't the stereotypical addict who would steal and harm those around him, he was a kind, loving, soft-spoken man who just needed some help. Love you always Bob.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother
Thats tough, I'm sorry for your loss
Rest in peace Bobby! No more pain.
He knew the risks.
Lol he wasn’t a regular addict, he was a special one.
Addiction to Fentanyl has ruined my entire family. It's beyond frustrating and heartbreaking to know that you have to watch it all happen and there's nothing you do can save them.
Wow! So sorry for what you're going through. Praying for your family to get sober and for strength and comfort for you to get through this. 🙏🙏
Stay strong, stay positive and lean on those that lift you up.
So sorry what you’re going through with your family. Iam from Glasgow what is fentanyl
Stay clean and safe my friend 😢😢
This is terrible. Sadly, it may be the result of your state not prioritizing this. Two of my siblings work with a major hospital system in Maryland, where the state is putting its money where its mouth is. We need to demand this of our state legislators and governors.
People can recover. They may fall down and get back up.
This channel is exactly why social media is positive for society. Great investigative journalism telling the news and informing people of what is going on. Great work. So glad I found this channel.
Social media *can be used for good for society. More often then not, it isn’t.

social media and purpose for his channel is to create awareness, telling real life stories and bringing about positive change. Not much on social media can claim to do that.
Peter is helping someone and saving lives every day with these videos. 👏💪🙏
People are so desperate to talk about their usage and drug issues on the streets that they’re flocking around you. This is a visual representation of collapse well under way. So damn sad
Meanwhile the big pharma drug cartels that played a large part in creating the opioid epidemic are being hailed as heroes by the lying legacy fake news media. The media propaganda channels made these criminals trillionaires by promoting their drugs.
unfortunately alot of these people think it's impressive and cool to do drugs. The lady was keen to put across that she's able to take a higher dose than the average person.
When she said 120 dollars in one day! I said these people have more of a mental problem than money perhaps 🤔

@@WN_Byers No question she's trickin' for some grams.
When I tell y’all… most addicts started out seeing a DR, I’m not lying. I’m a recovering addict, and was sent to a pain management dr! All because I was “too young” for surgery… it was a horrible 3 years, but I’ve been sober since 2015 ❤️ the initial stopping is the worse part!
Been there, doctors are the biggest pushers
Mine started with a crooked DR and a script of Lortab 10's. Now that I look back I'm sure there was several other things that he could've done for my mild back pain. All it took was that first bottle.
I was having a hard time sleeping due to anxiety and panic attacks and after months of little sleep, my Dr prescribed me Xanax and told me to only take as needed... I know it's highly addictive if taken too often so I only took one to go to sleep for two nights and then I finally fell asleep on my own.... I KNOW how bad it can get if I'm not careful so I only take it when absolutely necessary....
I find the worst part is staying sober
@@TartanArmy85 it gets easier after while fam ,🙏💪🏽
Went to a friend to get a pain pill…..
I can’t emphasise enough that the healthcare system in the USA needs to change.
Yes!!!! You need a state system
I was addicted to Fentanyl patches back from 2008-2010, before Carfentanyl even came out on the streets. It started after I used my Moms Dilaudid’s after she passed of cancer and my opiate addiction grew from there. I got up to 100 mg patches and would cut up the patch and suck on the pieces. My friend with MS would sell his patches to buy crack. Harm reduction saved my life and I’ve been sober since 2010. I’m so thankful I’m still here to raise my son, whose now 15❤
Wow.... Thank you for your testimony!!! God bless you❤❤
Glad you made it out. I did too. So greatful 🤲
That couple he talked about that died together in newport beach were my friends. That really impacted the community. Crazy it was brought up on here. Stay safe people
It’s so so sad! Were they addicts or just decided one day to take Xanax to chill out?

7 years sober! I was down the deepest of holes, so dark with no light even shining in the future. I’m blessed to have the life I have today. I pray others find their shovel to dig their way out!
I was on heroin for 2 years after being prescribed opiates for 6 years.
I got clean cold turkey in my apartment during lockdown. The first two weeks I thought I was going to [redacted] myself. I have never experienced such suffering. I had no maintenance meds.
I felt great mentally once the second month started to roll around, but the fact of the matter is: I had never tried an opiate before my operations. I was in an accident that almost lead to two amputations. So I live with terrible pain and a terrible fear of opiates. My pain began to get in the way of my life, no matter how many aspirin I took.
So I contacted my doctor and am now on a very low but incredibly helpful doseage of opiates again. I feel that my fear of what it can turn into keeps me in constant fear of growing a dependency. I only take it when the pain gets very bad, not every day.
There is a fine line between pain management and an opiate addiction. I want to clarify that the only reason I even made the switch years ago from my prescription to street drugs was that no pharmacy wanted to fill my prescription. The stigma surrounding pain management made this situation so much worse, because every Fent death was regarded as an "Opiate" overdose.
When people hear about my accident; there is genuine concern and care. They ask about the pain; again with sincere care. But once I say, I'm managing my pain with opiates; the dynamic of the conversation immediately switches and I am now viewed as a junkie. Really odd situation we have going on right now.
(Thanks for reading.)
Thank you for sharing your story. Although I have never dealt been addicted to drugs, I’ve had several opportunities with the numbers and amounts of opiate prescribed to me after several surgeries of the past few decades. You know how they always ask after surgery (and through recovery), what would you rate your pain, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest? One doctor explained to me that it was his aim to take the edge off, maybe lower it to about a 6 or 7 within a day after surgery, and then start the healing process. He said that he wanted me to be aware of the pain through healing, and understand that with each passing day it would begin to plateau before it dropped again. Pain medication was only to be taken strictly as needed - not to eliminate 100% of the pain. Personally, opiates always made me feel ‘slow’, they literally darkened my world (my pupils were constricted, so yeah it was darker), and they constipated me. I had what I called ‘flash’ dreams where colors were Technicolor-vivid and dreams were emotion-laden action, nearly to the point of nightmares.
So, flash forward….Just days ago, I had a surprise dental emergency, requiring an emergency root canal. Loads of pain. Based on decades of previous medical procedures, I expected a prescription for an antibiotic (got it) and a few days of a pain killer (nope!). During the procedure, I noticed the endodontist used oil of cloves, an ‘old-timey’ oil mild topical anesthetic. Hmmm….I was told to go home, take some Advil for pain and get some rest. Advil? I’m unable to take it because it burns my stomach and causes intestinal bleeding. What next? Extra-strength Tylenol, but gotta watch too much/too often to prevent liver damage. My pain was a solid 9, as my tooth was abscessed. We’ve gone from doctors overprescribing opioids to now under prescribing them.
I understand what you're going through and how us addicts can be judged. This is not what I am doing so I hope it doesn't come off that way. I just want to say that "opiates" aren't just what a Doctor prescribes. Heroin, morphine, oxycodone, dilaudid, fentanyl, tramadol and the many others are all opiates. It very frustrating how we get judged by people that don't understand this desease we have.
I'm on opioid for a spinal cord injury and constantly fear withdrawal and my doctor decreasing my dose for zero reason I dance with the devil daily I HATE IT BUT I HAVE zero choice if I don't take prescriptive opioid I can't function I can't stand up I HAVE ZERO QUALITY OF LIFE I TAKE AS little as possible but I have no choice I feel extremely discriminated against because I use legal opioids
@@russmaddeaux78 aaaaaah!!!! Drug addiction and alcoholism is NOT a disease!!!!! I can't even stand hearing that excuse anymore. The cure is to STOP DOING IT. Disease does not have that choice AND it is Not intentionally self inflicted.---Take all meds according to directions and don't get cute and start self medicating and there would NEVER be a problem otherwise you would see every little old lady with a hip replacement, out on the streets with a walker trying to cop a bundle and shoot up. And...you Never see that!!! Stop the excuses and take responsibility for your own choices in life and stop blaming others. Now that little old lady can only get an aspirin for hip replacement because of all the irresponsible axxxholes. Ridiculous how the rest of us always have to suffer for the handful of, out of control jerks. SMH---and I am old and have seen both sides of opiates from nursing. And the street addict niece and nephew. And a dead brother from Rx abuse and a paralyzed sister in law in nursing home for life at 50yrs old from dirty needles. That was 2 yrs ago already and she still can't move anything from neck down.--So...do what the doctor says and don't suddenly grow a brain that knows better than his directions and you will Never have this horrible problem.
That's awful I am so sorry 😞 would medical marijuana not help instead of opiates?
My friend died from this 2 weeks ago. Thanks for spreading awareness Peter!

The VA cut me off of oxy 4 years ago. I bought blues off the street didn't know fetty was in it at the time. Got hooked for 2 years. So happy I never have to go through that crap again. The withdrawals I thought I was dying. 2 years sober in 9 days ❤️
How long did your withdrawal last?
They last almost a month ysually
Congratulations 👏🎉 I'm so proud of you ❤Keep up the good work! I'm a veteran too 😊
I’ve been through withdrawals many times, including precipitated withdrawals from starting Suboxone too soon. Withdrawals are so bad it keeps people from getting clean. I applaud anyone who has made it through to get clean, it’s hard work!
Bless you and keep you.
That lady who got her drug tested is actually really smart. She has the ability to become something great I believe

I spent 8 years of my life chasing a high that tried to kill me several times. Thankfully I had an understanding father who never judged me or got mad and instead helped me every time I needed it. *RIP* to the best father a girl could ask for. In June it will be a year since he has been gone and it still hurts the same every day.
This makes no sense. Because people choose to take these drugs. No one forced anyone to take them. I have never even tried any. Why would I ?

I'm a firefighter in a small city in Mississippi. Fentanyl has become the cause of all our overdoses. Its like herion and mainly pain pills have been replaced. Also, narcan doesn't seem to be as effective on fentanyl.
100% right its exactly the same here in Ontario Canada
The formula to Narcan needs to be adjusted and divided into more than one type but more effective. Some Fentanyl is mostly animal tranquilizer from the videos I've seen most of the dealers use it on the East Coast. I bet you can almost trace certain Fent to certain cartels or home grown labs because of it's chemical make up.
@pouya not to mention the depleted amount of Dopamine Seratonin and other amino acids that are very important for brain function. Xanax can be used to alleviate some of the body aches and pains they get from with draw but they need a lot of Omega 3 fish oil to replenish neurotransmitters. Looking at it from a holistic approach. Micro dosing at very small levels might help however Fent is man and makes it severely volatile.
@@pinacolada1393 xanax is a benzodiazepine and also highly addictive and has a brutal detox. It cannot be mixed with most of the meds used to treat opiod addiction either like methadone or suboxone

Learning a whole new world around me, with these videos.
It's really scary that something can be that addicting. As a recovering alcoholic with 10 years sobriety I sometimes worry about what's around the corner. I hope it's never Fentanyl.
I did a lot of drugs in my teens and 20's but always held a job and knew that wasn't the road I wanted my life to go down. I had family too that did everything they could to help get my life back together and after I got pregnant and married my kids became my life and no way was I going to ruin their lives because of mine. It really is family and just go old fashioned grit that gets one out of a drug addicted life. Our country needs to get back to focus on the family because that's where this begins and ends.

My step daughter died from this drug last November ,the pain that it has on the family is awful,I pray that they see there way with God help
So sorry
So sorry for your loss 😢
I’m a travel nurse, just back from an assignment in an Emergency Department in Fort Myers FL. The fentanyl abuse and homelessness blew my mind. There were very few resources to help these people. We mostly returned them right back to the streets.
A cured cystomer is lost customer. Why would you guys help them.
because the investor makes money from the drugs, makes money from the hospital, makes money from the treatment centers, and makes money from the morgue...
so it doesnt matter..
its our perception thats manipulated..
There are free Suboxone clinics. It worked for me. Suboxone doesn't provide any euphoria but you don't get sick. Even if you smoke Fentanyl it will not work.
its so scary and sad
I started a channel to share stories about Fentanyl OD losses. It’s called Those Fentanyl Left Behind. If you feel like sharing. Thank you, it’s healing for me to hear that I’m not alone. I lost my 34 yro husband to Fentanyl. It’s soooo hard. & the cops do nothing.
Great Work ya'll, bringing awareness
Well done Brice what a brilliant product 🙌🏼
7 college kids in Florida had this exact thing happen on spring break. They bought cocaine. And they all over dosed In the same house on fentanyl
West Point Cadets to be exact, hella sad
Wow didn’t see it on the news.
Five people? In the same house? Holy crap... I really hope they go after whoever is pushing that shit... That's just incredibly sad... 😕
@@roxannerodriguez7075 not just any 5 ppl it was 5 west point cadets on vacation.
@@thecleanoutcrew497 I actually had to read into who the West Point Cadets are! And I have no clue why I said 5, when the post says it was 7 college kids! 🤦♀️ Regardless - it does make the whole situation even worse, knowing the path those kids were on. 😕 And I did read that they arrested the guy selling the fentanyl laced cocaine that killed them. The sad thing is he's only 21! I highly doubt he had anything to do with the decision to add freaking fentanyl to the cocaine. He's most likely a lower level dealer, making almost nothing himself. While he needs to be held accountable too, there is someone higher than him who really deserves to pay. Well really China and Mexico- they are killing us off! China is killing us off. Mexico depends of the money we give them for the drugs. This is just my opinion. But China... They don't give a shit about our drug money. 75% of the crap filling our homes is "made in China" - they already have us dependent upon them and now they're killing us off. And the opioid addiction is so damn strong that I dunno if the addicts would ever be able to choose to spend their money elsewhere. Or maybe that's what was happening and that's why dealers are sneaking fentanyl into cocaine! And Xanax and methamphetamine! It's just heartbreaking... Ok, rant over. ✌️
God this is sad. These are real people ... good people .. , who have ended up enslaved. I am so deeply grateful to have had the opportunities and the parental support (sometimes tough support!) that it takes, to end up with a life that isn't about alcohol or drugs. Thank you Peter, for getting the truth out there.
Hats off to that lady..she has a golden heart!
WHEW what a reminder of what Ive kept out of. They had me on loads of fentanyl in SICU at 19. Didn't even see those records until a decade later. One of my csections they gave it to me without my knowledge. It was the worst experience where I MADE MY VOICE HEARD on my last pregnancy about it. I love the work you do FR. Oh but I've been so frowned upon in previous THC use... until they see my medical records. But... that's WV for ya. What a reminder of the strength I've carried my entire life. Endless gratitude.
Well deserved 1 million subscribers!! Your interviews are run so smooth, kind of like a fly on wall. Everyone wants to know the inside of how society runs in different cultures you bring us there.
Under rated content, still..
Goodness you're Gorgeous
Thanks Melissa! That’s what I’m trying to do so I’m glad you’re seeing this.
@@PeterSantenello There are vloggers who show visit other countries and then when I watch your videos I realize how little I know about USA and not everything in USA is shining bright as shown by the media. So, thank you for your videos.
@@jamesbond4810 I believe, the same is facts for European countries.
You report more information than the news, the best thing to watch to get an in depth view on something, the real investigative reporter
Thank you so much for this informative video. Just recently about 2 weeks ago I was at a friends house and I took a small hit off a water pipe thinking it was some dab thc and almost instantly I got strong head daze like if I stood up too fast and my head started to black out. I didnt faint or black out but I had to lay down for a couple hours and it felt like I was experiencing a really bad hang over from a whole night of drinking or something. So once I felt like I could stand and at least move around once again I started my trip back home. I had about a 45 min ride home and during that trip home I threw up 3 times really badly, then once I got home it took me like 2-3 days or rest just to feel recovered from this 1 small hit i took of a water pipe days before. The reaction I got from it was almost exactly how one of the guys in this video described it would happen. Now I'm not sharing and pipes or anything that could possibly have this crap in it because even a tiny amount left over in someones pipe can do that kinda damage to me I cant even imagine what it would of been like if it was an actual hit of fentanyl, it probably would of killed me so I was very lucky that wasn't the case. I am being super cautious now and only using my personal stuff and sharing with no one now not even friends its not worth the risk..... Thank you again for this video it was extremely informative...
Another good one! Bryce seems very intelligent. He's articulate and interesting to listen to.
My first time In a residential rehab facility I met 3, 15 year old kids hooked on fentanyl, The US is suffering in a whole new epidemic and this one looks like it's going to be harder to get rid of

Peter it seems like you are the Pied Piper. People just start following & talking to you. I love your videos. I've learned so much from them.
This documentary is a powerful testament to the ongoing tragedy of the fentanyl crisis. It is crucial to differentiate between pharmaceutical-grade fentanyl and the dangerous street versions, especially considering the emergence of Xylazine in the mix. The heart-wrenching reality of countless lives lost each day due to this deadly drug cannot be ignored. Let us raise awareness, educate others, and stand united in the fight against this crisis. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and above all, stay safe, everyone!
I saved my twin brother's life on February 7th of this past year from a relapse/overdose and I wouldn't wish that on anyone... We're only 36 and have lost so many people to this deadly addiction and I'm afraid that it's only going to get worse!
@YOULOVEME, I got to him in time and started CPR until the EMTs arrived... It took the rescue squad to get here to finally narcan him and get a pulse. They shocked him 4 times and nothing would work to get his pulse back until the rescue squad arrived.
How perfect was your timing? ❤️ I’m sure your whole family is very thankful for you. So since that incident…how is he? I wonder if they’re scared to use after that or if they have any memory of any of it unless someone tells them?
@@emmbieemmbie2131, I had a feeling something wasn't right with him when he got home and his addiction has always kept me on edge, so when I heard that death snore, I already knew what it was and jumped into action. It took the rescue squad to get here to finally get a pulse back for him bc the EMTs couldn't get anything to work to get his pulse back. He went to rehab a day after our B'day (March 9th), completed rehab and now is in sober living doing amazing in Winchester, VA. After it all happened he said that he knows that his body can't handle it anymore and that if he does it again that he'll more than likely die. I have more hope in his addiction bc he never shot up and always snorted it and feel like he has more of a chance unlike if he had been shooting up all them years. We just lost another good friend last week to this deadly disease and our buddy died in the parking lot of the rehab center he was checking into. There was a photo of my twin and our friend at the funeral Monday and that's really gotten him shook up about his addiction and recovery bc he knows that if could of easily of been him as well!
@@michaelsparrow2724 thank God! Thank you for the positive story. A friend of mine went to rehab and didn’t return home afterwards. He knows returning to that same environment is too risky. He stayed in the town where he went to rehab and his family visits him at his new place. I hope your brother chooses to do the same thing - or any town other than where he lived before getting sober. Great story. Prayers for your whole family.
The lady in white is quite knowledgeable. She is obviously intelligent. I wonder what she could have done with her life if she followed a different part. This whole thing scares the s**t out of me. God help them all! Thanks for the vlog!
As an addict myself, I feel that they should offer free treatment only for the people who have no money for treatment. Bcuz other than withdrawals and a few other things, people may avoid treatment bcuz they don’t have money and only have 5$ to there name 💯 so for those homeless people it should be free treatment🚫🧢
Great eye opener Peter. Once again you are bringing important stuff to the forefront. Great work. Here in Canada the officials are finding that the drugs are lased with Horse Tranquilizer. where does it stop. Keep on buddy!
I lost my son on 04/15/22, we believe to this drug, he leaves behind a wife with two children. Life not the same with out him. I miss him every day. He was only 31. Love you Anthony!
I live in a real small town in Wyoming and someone just got busted with a bunch of this stuff and it scares the hell out of me knowing it's now in my small area :(
Undeniably sad to see such suffering on the streets of most places now in America. Fentanyl has got to be the worst thing and so bad that’s it’s so readily available. A solution must be found and those pushing this awful substance need to be weeded out, come on Governments more needs to be done, for everyone.
you stay safe out there Peter, can’t believe how bad things are.
I had no idea about the lacing issue. I don't take drugs besides ibuprofen and Tylenol for the most part, but in the past I have been exposed to many of the others mentioned in this video. Thank you for sharing this incredibly important information.
Thank you Peter and thank you Bryce Batcheller for bringing this social epidemic of Fentanyl addiction to our attention. This is an out of control problem with its widespread use and how it's spreading throughout the drug world. I got another message from this video. DO NOT BORROW pills or drugs from anyone for anything.
Excellent coverage.
We need more conversations on this topic.
I watched a mother weap over her sons lifeless corpse. I've never felt so helpless.
Heartbreaking, could never imagine how she felt.
Good job! Great video
v informative a must see show on the fentanyl epidemic Thanks
Thank you so much for shedding light on such a tragic subject. I've heard of it but wasn't really familiar with all these issues until seeing this. Keep spreading truth & excellent content.
Well done Peter on one million subs. I love your work.
EVERY family has been affected by addiction. Thank you for this content, keep up the good work my man 👍🏻
Peter I thank you for showing the lives of what others are going through not to make them feel less than b/c it's not a good story to share but to hear the stories such as Susie as to how she became addicted and so forth and much love to Bryce for taking action. I got his contact information to share with centers here where I am located. I had a close friend that was an addict but it wasn't fentanyl but it's still not anything easy to address.
I am enjoying this skid row series so much, and I appreciate all the awareness you are bringing to everyone. I hate to see an episode coming to an end, but look forward to the next one.
I feel nervous for that sober friend. I'm so surprised he isn't tempted being down in skid row watching people do these drugs that once took over his life. hope he stays clean
Well he is either lying about why he's on the row or he's trying to get his friends off it. I've encountered a number of people who have got clean and try hard to save thier friends before they end up killing themselves from a hot shot
The majority of nurses in detox facilities are recovered. The managers of halfway houses are in recovery. The people that are in the trenches trying to help are in recovery
@@oldleatherhandsfriends4053 These guys are willing to show their face on camera and admit to shoplifting and selling clothes, prostitution, and drug trafficking. It didn't seem like bragging to me. Why would they need to lie about anything so mundane?
Thank you for covering such an important issue. I thankfully got clean shortly after fentanyl really started hitting our streets [12/22/18❤], but I've lost countless friends to opiates. My cousin overdosed from contaminated meth, and he HATED opiates so it's definitely in all drugs. Lord, please free these lost souls from their demons!!
excellent channel Peter
I’m from Kentucky I was hooked on prescribed 30s back in my early twenty’s. It cost me my farm etc almost my life. I went to prison and have been out 12 years clean.
Keep up the good work
@@goddess22233 that’s it
@@goddess22233 Thanks no other choice but to keep pushing. I won’t be another statistic
@pouya very good knowledge my friend. I will look into this. It may help because I still suffer from lower back pain. But I have learned to block pain out.
Congratulations & God bless you
This deserves a spot on a mainstream news work. This is real journalism.
I think a positive or negative will make things worse not better. I really feel the government is wanting this crap to flood the streets. So many families have lost so much with little to NO opposition
I don't think a lot of people know just how expensive rehab is. It's already an uphill battle
My story is horrible because of the doctors. I was an Alcoholic & was in the hospital all the time from passing out and going through DTs really bad. I was told that I was the worst they've seen. One day I ended up in the hospital for a month due to acute kidney failure because of Alcoholic seizures. They were giving me Dilaudid for the withdrawal which is unheard of. Dilaudid is just a strong version of Morphine. They gave it to me the whole time I was there & got me addicted. Before that, I have never taken anything for pain. Well, then I started drinking & using Dilaudid which they were giving me prescriptions. Then I quit Alcohol & got on Dilauded or whatever I can get my hands on. I overdosed 20 times ending up in the hospital this went on from the age of 18 to 26. I can relate to that lady saying she got addicted in the hospital. I think about it now after being 8 years sober how insane it is that they gave an alcoholic with an addictive personality Dilauded to help with the DTs. It makes me sick knowing they knew the consequence. The Sad part no one is doing anything about it. Now they have more restrictions in some states but not all. I wish I could take them to court to stop them from doing it to others. Addiction is really sick. You won't quit because of rehab or because of AA or NA. The only way to truly quit is when you realize it yourself. Otherize you will continue to slip even after years if you're not 100% done. Once that happens drugs or alcohol never enter your mind again. It's like hitting a switch. Sadly I had many friends who thought they hit that switch. But 2 to 3 years later they're back at or dead. Never force someone to quit or never ask someone to go to rehab. It's a waste unless they make that decision on their own. I'm so glad I quit before the Fentanyl hit the streets, or I would have been dead.
My ex husband overdosed on meth laced with Fentanyl on New Years Eve this year. When we were together, his drug of choice was pills like oxy and hydros and never in a million years would I think he went past that but apparently he did. We still remained good friends after we split but I just couldn't live with a drug addict anymore. He promised me he had been clean for a few years but obviously he wasn't telling me the truth because when I read his autopsy it broke my heart with everything the toxicology test came back positive on. I still can't come to terms of losing him but part of me always knew he would die young and would die from drugs.
You need Personal secretary
You are the true victim here. Your husband started down a path that had only one outcome. He chose drugs over everyone else in his life.
I come from a smaller community in the Midwest, I've had about 20 people close to me die or OD from heroin and fentanyl. It makes local news but you bring awareness to a national audience. Unfortunately solutions are far and in-between. Small town Indiana, 2000s oxy, 2010s heroin, 2020s meth and fentanyl. I lost friends and family every decade. Either to drugs or suicide. It's affecting everyone here. If it's here, then it's everywhere. We need more channels like yours for awareness, but more so, we need solutions. It seems like the solutions are hard to find.
Thank you Peter! Very important informing of how bad it's become. Stay Safe, Please🌺
