I was sitting here watching this. I’ve been battling a pill addiction. I never thought in a million years I would be here. I’ve tried so many times to get clean and failed and tonight I cried my heart out to God for help and I watched this video and her clean date is my birthday and I felt like that in itself is God’s way of giving me one big hug saying it’s going to be okay. I won’t give up.
I love your reaction to being put in jail...it says volumes about you. It tells me that wise part of you was still in there, screaming to be heard. I am so impressed by you! And so glad you made it out! The world needs you! Welcome back! God bless you! I have no doubt you are an amazing recovery mentor! Thank you for making this amazing video!
You never know what someone is going through regardless of their social or financial status. Trauma isn't always visible & many are silently suffering. Now more than ever we need compassion with one another. 💙
I so much needed to see this. I'm 8 days clean from opiate and now I'm trying to get over this and try help my sister. I can't loose her. Ty for your story
Great story! I am a former opiate addict as well. Clean since March of 2012. Now I'm going to school to be a counselor for people struggling with addiction. It is so possible to better your life, you just have to want it and be strong!
Please, how are you doing? Please don’t relapse. Please help us all. All we have to keep from being permanently lost in this is the light of those like you who have gone before us. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Pain meds do have their place and the saddest thing that I feel comes out of this Opioid Epidemic, is that legitimate pain patients are being neglected and cut off.
@@SirApexTV-official 8 years ago i had a accident at work and broke both wrist, and scrambled some bones in one hand. I was home about a week and decided to stop the pain medication. It was horrible, pain to the bone, very little sleep. Hour by the hour wrestling. The hardest was the first week. My body was healing the wound. Im so glad I stopped before i had to fight something even bigger.
Your story is so similar to hundreds of people that went through and experienced almost identical circumstances and many, like yourself, were able to dig down deep in their soul and pull themselves out of the pit of addiction. Then you have the others who can't seem to get out of their own way and they end up in jail ( prison) or dead. Congratulations Randi for having the courage to make a decision that saved your life and now your doing the best thing one who's gone through what you have to pay forward and share with others what it took for you to turn your life around. They call that hope! God Bless! Richard J
My niece did everything Randi did, instead of jail and a awakening. She told her kids to go now and get the neighbors. She locked the bedroom door and got the gun. She was similarly age as Randi. I just had knee surgery they gave me pills. I see how it starts, seems doctors have alot to do with addiction. I don't think I needed such pills it put me in another world. If there was more then 14 pills I could have been in big trouble. Just because a doctor gives you drugs doesn't mean it's safe. I'd say strong pain pills are never safe... it's like driving really fast it's never safe....many things can happen.
@@pursedelighted because I liked them. ...duh. if they gave me refills...I would of dam sure took those too. If they kept giving me re fills I would never stop...see that's the doctors that makes that possible.
Your a legend !!!you get it !! there a re multiple sides to you beyond being just a recovering addict for the entirety of your life !!!! Hoorah time too move on !!! .
Rochelle123ist your not an addict and used the drugs as prescribed. Shouldn't have any regrets and shouldn't feel the need to shame others for their faults. My dad died of cancer and he used pain pills to help him. My wife on the other hand is an addict and struggled with pain pills. They arnt for everyone.
Wow ! Beautiful story. Im a heroin addict I was walking home last night and a homeless man asked me for a dollar. Of course I didnt have it. But I looked him in the eye with compassion like a person and told him I had no money. He saw that I was for real and there was a connection to another human being. He said Ok thank you and have a good night. I said thanks you too. It was a clear and honest moment. And it felt great. I cant even help myself right now. But I would love to help people if and when I get sober
Telling your story is helping people, regardless of where you are in your addiction. Thank you for sharing that moment. We're all flawed. Doesn't matter how many wins or losses any single person has in life, or how imperfect or perfect we may seem. We are all flawed, beautiful individuals.
I think story's like this are amazing. But I think 8 mins does not give her story justice. 8 mins makes it sound too easy. It took her so much more wrk then I'm just done.
I was that way too and still fear it but part of it I tell myself don't let it control you. I am on a pain contract with doctor due to spinal stenosis and bulging discs from car wreck. took me almost a year for a doctor to find out what was causing so much pain afterwords and so i went without any pain med after my wreck until i found a doctor that went the extra mile to see what was going on and so i am on norcos and just only use them when my pain is super bad.
You are also a beautiful person and thanks for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring story about your life, I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother 💕
My story is very similar to hers as it was 2007 and I had bent over to pick something up and it felt as though someone had shot me in the back with a shotgun. Luckily I was with a friend of mine at the time and she drove me to a local after hours clinic where they prescribed me oxycodone. I couldn't even stand straight up and had to walk hunched over. I immediately scheduled an appointment with my chiropractor for the next day thinking I'd thrown my back out or something as I'd just had a 10 lb baby 7 months earlier. I arrived thinking it would be a simple as getting an adjustment and that's when he was testing my reflexes and noticed I had what's called drop foot. Immediately he told me I had probably herniated a disc in my back. He prescribed me more pain meds to get me through to my appointment with the spine doctor. It was during that time that I realized just how much I liked how the pills made me feel. I felt like Supermom. It just seemed to make everything so much more enjoyable and I became a lot more social whenever I would be around people as though I had no fear of but what they would think of me as I'd had SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER really bad prior to getting on the pain meds. I could talk to ANYONE and EVERYONE and actually even ENJOYED IT. I remember I would take a couple pain meds and head out for a walk with my kids and my dog and while walking I would be looking at the trees and the flowers and it was as though I just appreciated things so much more and thought everything was so beautiful......which I later learned was because of the EUPHORIA the pills were making me feel. I just never wanted the feeling to go away and wanted to feel like that all the time which was when I started abusing the meds because the longer I took them the less effect my prescribed dose had on me so I would take an extra pill when I was only a supposed to take 2.... I'd take 3 or 4 and so on. Later on I learned they call that "Chasing the Dragon".... You're basically trying to reach that same level of euphoria that you felt when you 1st started taking them. That roller coaster went on for 5 yrs. I eventually got back surgery in 2013 Which resulted in the pain meds being stopped.

“ I was getting 90 Percocet a week ...and then I found out if I didn’t take it I’d get sick, not from the Tylenol but the Percocet “....really? 90 Percocet a week? The withdrawal would be absolutely brutal with those doses! It’s all about the fear of the withdrawal...the physical symptoms of withdrawal from taking 90 Percocet a week would be the scariest and most horrible 10 days of someone’s life and go thru it once you’ll never take a painkiller again....what doctor would prescribe someone that amount of pills if they weren’t dying of cancer? No injury requires 90 percs a week...
It depends on the dosage honestly. If it were 5mg or 30mg tabs is a different story. The amount she was taking would kill a normal human but honestly once you build a tolerance to them the first 70 probably did nothing for her. Also this attitude is a huge part of the problem, it can't be simplified like this. I'm guessing you haven't ever suffered severe chronic pain and taken them? I have used them for legit pain so many times and right now am on a huge dose again because I am 4 months post knee operation and I just blew my shoulder. I am terrified of getting off these pills due to withdrawals, my doctor wants to taper slowly off which is the best way but it's also hard because your pain goes up as the dose goes down. Without these pills I would be in bed everyday doing nothing, Instead I am present, I play with my kids, I have fun with my wife BUT they also are horrible in many ways and not a long term solution. If you were put in my position, you could be a normal person, albeit a fake normal person by taking these pills or a genuine person who is in bed and can't talk or move and most likely will lose marriage as a result. I think my response is a little more generalize and not totally directed at your comment by itself, it's just such a complicated issue and needs conversations not black or white statements. I face so much shame that I am on these pills, almost all of which comes from people who have never been injured in their lives.
this is the same for me if i dont take this med i get really ill nervos anxity and sick mine dependcy started in hosiptal heart sergery they gave me loratabs then my friend saw i had alot backpain so got percocerts i dont want to stop now cause they help me i just hate so much the after running out
@@garethkalber7236 i do actually suffer from chronic pain… i am just saying the problem with the addiction is the fear of withdrawal… partly…. I’ve been through it and finally learned to limit the meds if I wanted to stay alive … but even with a tolerance 90 5 mg pills a week is too much…
From back pain to feeling happy and free in jail. That's what Opioid's did to this wonderful woman. You lose your soul, your joy, your identity. If I knew what I was being prescribed back at day one, I would have begged to keep the back pain.
It’s not that I don’t feel bad for her and other young people in her predicament but I also get angry at people like her because I’m 64 with stage 4 cancer in the bones The pain can be unbearable at times and getting relief from pain medication can be a problem because people like her abuse pain medication and people like me with cancer can have problems at times trying to get our medication
Yip defo They know what drugs do they do it for the thrill , prescribed meds should be taken moderatly even those in pain but no they continue to use knowingly. No sympathy for them
Jackie I hope that u recover completely.Keep your spirits high.Your life matters and be brave.All the best.Please tell us further about your recovery process.please don't give up.
Maybe because, you know, that’s not true? Be careful of what you say, otherwise what’s to stop a codeine addict saying, “screw it, may as well use heroin!?!”. Is an addiction to ephedrine the same as an addiction to meth?
Our Government is certainly going to get rid of this Opioid Epidemic Problem... How? It will campaign exceedingly large to *help the drug addicts* while seeing that true Severe Chronic Pain Sufferers are left with little to no help until they die from suicide or heart attacks --- of which the government will reap the financial rewards by being able to stop disability checks for dead Chronic Pain Sufferers.
Thank you for sharing and being so honest. This was wonderful and shocking at the same time. I’m so happy for you and how you found true happiness and peace. Loved how you listed all the things you are and there are many. Many blessings, love and light to you and yours.
I live in pain every day with many back and neck surgeries. I took my pain meds as prescribed. I never abused them. Now they have been taken away because to many people abused them. I took them for 30 years and NEVER abused them. I'm 58 years old with my whole spine deteriorated. Why do I have to pay for a crime you committed. Now I sit here waiting to die in pain because of people like you. The opioid crisis has caused over 50 million people living in chronic pain to suffer just like myself. This is wrong and inhumane allowing over 50 million suffer in sever pain.
Addicts suffer too stop feeling sorry for yourself its hard to quit when you are using to many you want others to understand u well understand them then
@@kingjack9036 Addicts do it to themselves, that is the difference. Chronic pain patients deal with way worse pain than a 5-7 day withdrawal. Addicts are running away from life, pain patients are trying to live life. I am sorry for her suffering but at the same time when she says she should have just been given ibuprofen for her back is a dangerous thing to say. Pain patients are killing themselves every day from a lack of analgesia. Seriously, it's not the doctors fault that she became a heroin addict, and then meth too? Pain patients have it a million times worse than addicts.
She too felt pain.. and the doctor prescribed her the opioids and she became addicted. I don’t think it was ever her plan to become addicted to something that would literally ruin her life. People don’t just wake up and decide to become drug addicts. When someone struggles with addiction it’s usually due to other traumas they are coping with through the use of drugs. This woman shared her story so that she can potentially help others struggling with addiction. There’s an opioid epidemic and she’s doing a part to help by sharing her experiences.
Multnomah County Health Department and I'm also reaching out to the woman who told her story...I am working full time and caring for my kids and getting ready for my sons bday n graduation party and my daughter's 8th grade graduation party. One thing about me that I cant feel bad about or my self worth would crumble n jeopardize my sobriety is that I'm on a low dose of methadone. I seem to need it. I have tried 28 days off of it and still hadn't eaten and had to be helped up. I felt horrible. I drug myself to dr and he said some ppl like me who have been on methadone awhile it kind of hijacks your brain and it's not an easy trip back. I had to care for my 2 kids, pay my Bill's and go to work so they suggested I head back to clinic n take the lowest dose I could to function n make it through day on my 2 feet. I bawled my eyes out knowing how I damaged my brain. Drugs really do cause brain damage. You are no longer making the chemicals you need to feel normal. So I'm on a low dose I get in my work line 3 days a week n get 4 take home bottles on Wednesday. It's just for now just for today. I dont go to meetings bc I hear they judge ppl on methadone and that's not helpful. Everyone is different n I just wasnt bouncing back after a month on nothing n had many responsibilities. It does help if u use it properly n I do not get a high from it. I know u could if u took a bunch but if u just take ur dose once every 24 hrs like any other med then that's what it feels like...any other med. Thank you and I pray u all get well no matter what way works for you. You deserve it and have much to offer. Addicts are some of the wisest ppl I've met in my 36 years. Share what u have to offer.
Your story is very eye opening. I am 33 yrs old, and technically going on 4 yrs sober. I say technically because I am on suboxone. I have not used an opiate is almost 4 years, but because of the suboxone some people wouldn't view me as "sober." Therefore, almost no ones knows. My husband and sister do, but they are sooo supportive and never make me feel any less than accomplished! So, I may not know exactly how you feel because we are all different with different circumstances. But I can empathize with your situation. Best of luck! And f@#$ those who view us any other way. We are doing what we can to better our lives. Remember to give yourself ALOT of credit for that. Happy holidays to you and your family!!
@@ashleycapps1720 thank you I appreciate that because I am made to feel very bad about myself. Last month I finally decided to find strength in myself and cut myself off from the people who kept rolling their eyes at me, whispering to each other every time I got home from the clinic and ridiculing me every time I said something I thought was something to be proud of. Example....I said to my mom and sister " I went down another 10 mg today so as long as I feel ok I can keep going down" . They both look at each other then say...that's ridiculous if you wanted to stop taking it you would just stop. I don't care about your situation at the clinic. My mother said that. So I stopped telling her anything. They just don't talk to me. But last month I decided to strengthen myself and decide that I am enough and I am okay and I'm not doing anything wrong so I'm going to the side on my own to stop shaming myself and look at them as the ones who have something wrong with them. Because I am a mother also and I could never not support my child I have two children and I love them for their wrongs and for their rights and for their faults and for everything else about them. So I've chosen to stop feeling bad about myself for being on methadone because no one knows or they don't know what it feels like and anyone educated knows I can't just stop going I would be in hell. I wouldn't even be able to work and doctors don't even recommend you just walk away from a clinic without a taper so I had to realize I was talking to uneducated people. And if they dont Like me then that's okay. I didn't choose this life and I didn't know we would end up here. 13 years ago I was a nurse and I was a damn good one. N I hurt myself Lifting a patient off of the toilet and I started getting shots in my back and I woke up to a prescription of 90 Percocet. I started taking them for the back pain and I had trouble getting off of them I never even used heroin. But I was taking a lot a lot of pain pills. I was very sick and they ran out and I was advised to go to the clinic and Here we are three years later. I dont want to be on methadone but everytime I try to stop i dont feel normal. It's going to take a lot for my brain to go back to normal and to produce the chemicals that it used to and that's very sad but it is the reality of what I'm dealing with. and it's the reality of what millions of people are dealing with. I just am not going to feel bad about it anymore I don't get high I don't go out and party I don't drink I don't smoke and I can't help at this stage that things are the way they are. So I advise everyone on here to lift ourselves up and strengthen themselves and not let anyone put you down or belittle you because all that means is that they are very uneducated and you can't speak on things that you are non educated on. I hope everything goes well for you also and I congratulate you on your four years of sobriety. I'm very glad you have support to that's very important. your husband and sister sound like good people. God bless
I’m the girl in this video and I want to encourage you to keep pushing girl! No matter what your recovery looks like just keep going! Forget what other people say. This is your life and your in charge of what it looks like! You sounds like such a beautiful person 😍
@@randialldritt3102 you are the kind of person that is one in a million. Believe it or not I have some friends who get clean and after going through that journey chose to look down at the ppl they once were. I'm always shocked by that. I love what you are doing. I use my journey to be wiser and kinder also. Some ppl in my life I will never be able to talk to bc they say no addiction is a choice bottom line and they don't want to hear anything else. I just put them in a group that just chose not to educate themselves. Even if its hurting the bond w certain family members they want nothing to do with knowing anything about it but that's ok. We just dont talk about it. But I think ppl like you are exceptional. I'm so happy about your success story. I'm just learning now not to live in shame. I work 60 hrs a week, I have a home of my own, a car, my son is in the military and has a savings account and brand new car at 19 yrs old and good head on his shoulders, my daughter gets honor roll, I live a normal life. I made the decision about a yr ago that I'm not living with my head down just bc I take a small dose of medication every morning. I'm 37 and I've lived in shame way too long. Yes I take a small dose of methadone each morning and I only go to the clinic now 2x a month to pick up 13 bottles. My life is full. I have a savings account. I go on vacations. I've tried multiple times to get off of it and I cant function or even get up. Its upsetting but I cant live thinking about that daily. In the end it's such a small detail of my life. I help ppl...I'm generous and I do the best I can every day. And Randi you are such a blessing to ppl everywhere that can hear your story.

Its when the withdrawal hits that you truly know you're screwed unless of course you find or get more and ignore it for the meantime. At a point you find yourself unable or with tough luck then you're screwed and scared. My advice is take it as prescribed or in lesser doses. If your pain is very bad especially at night find a sleep aid to take it with so that you find some rest that night. When you're without or in withdrawal and you feel critically ill go get some loperamide take some in moderation its a legal opioid sold OTC not to give you the same pain relieving effects but to calm your cns and stomach issues. Learn and notice how your body works day by day and stay positive for you will get better. If you relapse just remember you will have to do this all over again.
You know that feeling when your 24 hours without them things and then your dealer says he doesn’t have wheels to pull up meaning no car, is when you really begin to get scared
I agree about reaching your hand to someone in need, but, still, that person has TO WANT to get help. You can’t just force it on someone. It begins with them. And, I’ve been there and can tell you it’s a great way to get big time ripped off.
So many people are getting addicted and it’s sad pain killers are what kids are using now to get high people think they caint get addicted I just feel it’s so easy so don’t take unless you need them
I was addicted to norcal same story dew to a injury i realy never got high or stoned off norcal they just made me fill good as hell i could focus better take care of important things in life like paying bills keeping up on everything it wasnt a high i used them to focus and take care of business !!! I know when somebody is high and i bet you cant tell if someone just ate 2 norcal
This is Randi- from the video. And 4 years after this video was filmed and my life is better than it ever has been. I am coming up on 8 years clean. My life has surpassed any dream I could of ever had and this is only the beginning! I continue to help people getting off of drugs and show them the path. I try to encourage those going through what I went through that there is hope!
The biggest problem is not the moralisation or rationalization that you need help, it's finding the values that will sustain you through life.Addicts have been scientfically associated with pain and/or boredom that continues to drive the addiction. Cure your pain and you cure your addiction. That's the theory atleast
My name is Emmanuel. I'm a born again Christian who has been abusing pain pills. I would laugh at the fact that people got hooked on pills. Now I'm fighting to keep my life,marriage,and faith. Norco has become the thorn on my side. Please pray for me I hate the hurt and dread the depression that comes with not having the pills. I want to stop but don't know how.

I am currently on norco for bulging discs in neck and back and only take them when prescribed and when needed. but I'm glad you got clean many I knew died of heroin overdose. pain pills are ok in some circumstance its when you take them when its not needed that can also get you in trouble. I'm happy to see you are clean. I was doing the street stuff too and got sober on my own. part of me using the street drugs is I ddin't want to depend on doctor pills.

I recently got prescribed oxys for a skin infection, just the lowest dose and when I took them (just one pill) I was on cloud 9 and I see why people can get addicted to pain meds. I just kept telling myself don’t get addicted but I was like I’ll stick to weed and beer 👍👍✌️✌️✌️
@@pursedelighted9020 yes the high from weed is something else and sometimes can put you in such a different place that you want to chase that high. I am guilty of that. i use it once in awhile and just only a tiny bit now.
I am still clean! I just took 9 years of clean time on 7/11. This video was taken 5 years ago! I can’t believe how much time has passed. Life is absolutely beautiful today.
What sort of doctor would prescribe 90 percoset per week ? Could not be true !! ? I’m a true person that suffers from real pain from failed spine surgery , I have to live with nasty pain every day and nobody understands how it feels .I take medicine now because I have to so I can get out of bed and walk . I have never raised the amount I am on in 5 years . So how does it work ? Seems like people just are not being real about why they take meds in the first place .
Im happy for her recovering but not gonna lie lm super jealous aswell cause how easy it was for her to get her scripts for percocet. Im in severe pain from an injury right now & had a very low count 5mg dose of oxycodone script which was only a 3 day supply & once they were out the doctor said hes not allowed to refill my script & l desperately need them cause theyre the only thing that gives me any releif. OTC dont touch it. If anyone has any advise for my situation any info would be very appreciated. Thx
What a terrible cycle to be in...the biggest take away for me here is that if it feels that good, STOP TAKING IT and go see the doc and let thme know. Then get something else.
ive been on these percs for a year now and cant keep getting from the pharmacy can i know how you get yours cuz im looking into getting to the darkweb for lesser price

In my opinion prescription drugs can be more addictive than illegal drugs. For 14 years i was heavy into alcohol, hash, 3 packs of cigarettes a day, and others. I finally quit everything cold turkey. A year and a half later my back gave out on the job due to ms that i didn't know at the time i was getting. The doctor prescribed painkillers and somas...big mistake. I have been trying to get off of them for the past 12 years now
*What you are witnessing here is theatrics.* I was completely disabled in the latter 70's. I had so much damage I was never supposed to get off a gurney... If I survived. Severe Chronic Pain should have been an easy issue to overcome if what she was saying was true. Severe Chronic Pain Medication showed itself as being a huge problem that would be with me for the rest of my life, even though living in many states and getting many Doctors. My Severe Chronic Pain Issues were easily revealed. Yet getting proper medical treatment for pain was tremendously difficult to achieve. Even by the early 90's Pain Clinics were already up and running and getting proper treatment already nearly impossible. The first time I got out of the hospital I was immediately introduced to this, the world of torture. Getting high doses like even Percocet 5 was even worse. My multitude of Severe Chronic Pain types and Issues was a no brainer for even a mediocre Doctor to find. And yet she was getting ten times the relief for a couple injuries than I was getting for a multitude of easily revealed and very severe pain issues. *Ibprophen and Advil and Motrim* did not exist at that time and so her reference to it also kind of time-stamps her injury period. The differences between her issues causing pain and my issues causing pain, is simply way to great for her video to be anything but threactics by her. The above, makes this video an utter fraud put out by governmental agencies producing propaganda to enhance torturing Severe Chronic Pain Sufferers even more. For her everything was so very gloomy... Sure. Just a couple minor back problems she stated that could have been controlled by... *I take 2 advil and I am good all day.* lies and hype.
I was sitting here watching this. I’ve been battling a pill addiction. I never thought in a million years I would be here. I’ve tried so many times to get clean and failed and tonight I cried my heart out to God for help and I watched this video and her clean date is my birthday and I felt like that in itself is God’s way of giving me one big hug saying it’s going to be okay. I won’t give up.

Very well stated thank you for that

@@TITO-d7i I don't get what you're asking
Pain meds do have their place and the saddest thing that I feel comes out of this Opioid Epidemic, is that legitimate pain patients are being neglected and cut off.
Your an addict get help and stop blaming others!! This is what u are doing I can see it and so can everyone else!!
@@SirApexTV-official 8 years ago i had a accident at work and broke both wrist, and scrambled some bones in one hand. I was home about a week and decided to stop the pain medication. It was horrible, pain to the bone, very little sleep. Hour by the hour wrestling. The hardest was the first week. My body was healing the wound. Im so glad I stopped before i had to fight something even bigger.
It's terrible that these young crazy people are so dam selfish, I know where your coming from, I'm the same way.
I’m Hope! Ritalin is the solution for every addiction except Porn addiction! Suboxone is for withdraw symptoms only
@@SirApexTV-official lies
I wish my mom was this understanding
Your story is so similar to hundreds of people that went through and experienced almost identical circumstances and many, like yourself, were able to dig down deep in their soul and pull themselves out of the pit of addiction. Then you have the others who can't seem to get out of their own way and they end up in jail ( prison) or dead. Congratulations Randi for having the courage to make a decision that saved your life and now your doing the best thing one who's gone through what you have to pay forward and share with others what it took for you to turn your life around. They call that hope!
God Bless! Richard J

I'm sorry you lost your brother and so happy you made it
My niece did everything Randi did, instead of jail and a awakening. She told her kids to go now and get the neighbors. She locked the bedroom door and got the gun. She was similarly age as Randi.
I just had knee surgery they gave me pills. I see how it starts, seems doctors have alot to do with addiction. I don't think I needed such pills it put me in another world. If there was more then 14 pills I could have been in big trouble.
Just because a doctor gives you drugs doesn't mean it's safe. I'd say strong pain pills are never safe... it's like driving really fast it's never safe....many things can happen.
If you didn't think you needed them why didn't you tell the doctor😮
@@pursedelighted because I liked them. ...duh. if they gave me refills...I would of dam sure took those too. If they kept giving me re fills I would never stop...see that's the doctors that makes that possible.
I'm so proud of you. This is amazing.
Your a legend !!!you get it !! there a re multiple sides to you beyond being just a recovering addict for the entirety of your life !!!! Hoorah time too move on !!! .
Love what she said about reaching out to people that are hurting 💓🙏🏽
I have no regrets using oxycodone and morphine when I had cancer 4 years ago.
Rochelle123ist your not an addict and used the drugs as prescribed. Shouldn't have any regrets and shouldn't feel the need to shame others for their faults. My dad died of cancer and he used pain pills to help him. My wife on the other hand is an addict and struggled with pain pills. They arnt for everyone.

Wow, hats off to you girl....well done and thank you for giving back and sharing your story♥️✌️
It's hard for me to feel emotions but this video touched me. Thanks for being brave and telling your story.
Wow ! Beautiful story. Im a heroin addict I was walking home last night and a homeless man asked me for a dollar. Of course I didnt have it. But I looked him in the eye with compassion like a person and told him I had no money. He saw that I was for real and there was a connection to another human being. He said Ok thank you and have a good night. I said thanks you too. It was a clear and honest moment. And it felt great. I cant even help myself right now. But I would love to help people if and when I get sober
Thats beutiful man
Telling your story is helping people, regardless of where you are in your addiction. Thank you for sharing that moment. We're all flawed. Doesn't matter how many wins or losses any single person has in life, or how imperfect or perfect we may seem. We are all flawed, beautiful individuals.
What a beautiful person she is both inside and out. I wish the best for her.
I think story's like this are amazing. But I think 8 mins does not give her story justice. 8 mins makes it sound too easy. It took her so much more wrk then I'm just done.
yeah i agree. she didn't say how she got to be clean off drugs. i wanted to know
Your right that it's a seemingly endless list of what one goes through especially long when your the one going through it!

I am scared of being in so much pain that I get addicted to these drugs.
I was that way too and still fear it but part of it I tell myself don't let it control you. I am on a pain contract with doctor due to spinal stenosis and bulging discs from car wreck. took me almost a year for a doctor to find out what was causing so much pain afterwords and so i went without any pain med after my wreck until i found a doctor that went the extra mile to see what was going on and so i am on norcos and just only use them when my pain is super bad.
What an amazing story - such a beautiful soul...
Wow! What a great recovery story! Thank you for paying it forward.. God bless you!

My story is very similar to hers as it was 2007 and I had bent over to pick something up and it felt as though someone had shot me in the back with a shotgun. Luckily I was with a friend of mine at the time and she drove me to a local after hours clinic where they prescribed me oxycodone. I couldn't even stand straight up and had to walk hunched over. I immediately scheduled an appointment with my chiropractor for the next day thinking I'd thrown my back out or something as I'd just had a 10 lb baby 7 months earlier. I arrived thinking it would be a simple as getting an adjustment and that's when he was testing my reflexes and noticed I had what's called drop foot. Immediately he told me I had probably herniated a disc in my back. He prescribed me more pain meds to get me through to my appointment with the spine doctor. It was during that time that I realized just how much I liked how the pills made me feel. I felt like Supermom. It just seemed to make everything so much more enjoyable and I became a lot more social whenever I would be around people as though I had no fear of but what they would think of me as I'd had SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER really bad prior to getting on the pain meds. I could talk to ANYONE and EVERYONE and actually even ENJOYED IT. I remember I would take a couple pain meds and head out for a walk with my kids and my dog and while walking I would be looking at the trees and the flowers and it was as though I just appreciated things so much more and thought everything was so beautiful......which I later learned was because of the EUPHORIA the pills were making me feel. I just never wanted the feeling to go away and wanted to feel like that all the time which was when I started abusing the meds because the longer I took them the less effect my prescribed dose had on me so I would take an extra pill when I was only a supposed to take 2.... I'd take 3 or 4 and so on. Later on I learned they call that "Chasing the Dragon".... You're basically trying to reach that same level of euphoria that you felt when you 1st started taking them. That roller coaster went on for 5 yrs. I eventually got back surgery in 2013 Which resulted in the pain meds being stopped.
When did chiropractor start writing precription s.psychologist can't write precription either.
Wow this is an amazing story such an inspiration I myself am 6 and a half months clean

God bless you! It's a long road but the victory is yours if you claim it!
“ I was getting 90 Percocet a week ...and then I found out if I didn’t take it I’d get sick, not from the Tylenol but the Percocet “....really? 90 Percocet a week? The withdrawal would be absolutely brutal with those doses! It’s all about the fear of the withdrawal...the physical symptoms of withdrawal from taking 90 Percocet a week would be the scariest and most horrible 10 days of someone’s life and go thru it once you’ll never take a painkiller again....what doctor would prescribe someone that amount of pills if they weren’t dying of cancer? No injury requires 90 percs a week...
It depends on the dosage honestly. If it were 5mg or 30mg tabs is a different story. The amount she was taking would kill a normal human but honestly once you build a tolerance to them the first 70 probably did nothing for her.
Also this attitude is a huge part of the problem, it can't be simplified like this. I'm guessing you haven't ever suffered severe chronic pain and taken them? I have used them for legit pain so many times and right now am on a huge dose again because I am 4 months post knee operation and I just blew my shoulder. I am terrified of getting off these pills due to withdrawals, my doctor wants to taper slowly off which is the best way but it's also hard because your pain goes up as the dose goes down.
Without these pills I would be in bed everyday doing nothing, Instead I am present, I play with my kids, I have fun with my wife BUT they also are horrible in many ways and not a long term solution. If you were put in my position, you could be a normal person, albeit a fake normal person by taking these pills or a genuine person who is in bed and can't talk or move and most likely will lose marriage as a result.
I think my response is a little more generalize and not totally directed at your comment by itself, it's just such a complicated issue and needs conversations not black or white statements. I face so much shame that I am on these pills, almost all of which comes from people who have never been injured in their lives.
this is the same for me if i dont take this med i get really ill nervos anxity and sick mine dependcy started in hosiptal heart sergery they gave me loratabs then my friend saw i had alot backpain so got percocerts i dont want to stop now cause they help me i just hate so much the after running out
wow i take 2 everyday a month i couldnt do that id be asleep always do they put ypu too sleep all the time
U were taking 90 a week with Tylenol in it are was it oxy ... If u were taking the tlynol ones than for how long did u take it
@@garethkalber7236 i do actually suffer from chronic pain… i am just saying the problem with the addiction is the fear of withdrawal… partly…. I’ve been through it and finally learned to limit the meds if I wanted to stay alive … but even with a tolerance 90 5 mg pills a week is too much…
From back pain to feeling happy and free in jail. That's what Opioid's did to this wonderful woman. You lose your soul, your joy, your identity. If I knew what I was being prescribed back at day one, I would have begged to keep the back pain.
It’s not that I don’t feel bad for her and other young people in her predicament but I also get angry at people like her because I’m 64 with stage 4 cancer in the bones
The pain can be unbearable at times and getting relief from pain medication can be a problem because people like her abuse pain medication and people like me with cancer can have problems at times trying to get our medication
Yip defo
They know what drugs do they do it for the thrill , prescribed meds should be taken moderatly even those in pain but no they continue to use knowingly. No sympathy for them
Your really luck to have escaped addiction,well done you seem a beautiful human, hope your still clean
Best thing that could happened to someone, God bless her and All that’s Gone through or is Going Through This man . it’s hard but it’s POSSIBLE!
Jackie I hope that u recover completely.Keep your spirits high.Your life matters and be brave.All the best.Please tell us further about your recovery process.please don't give up.
Not many people are aware that withdrawing from the painkiller Codeine Phosphate is just as horrifying as withdrawing from Heroine.
not even close,,,not in same ballpark. yes same family of drug to degree but codeine way less potent.
Roy C Horton your absolutely right, codeine converts to morphine in the body
Maybe because, you know, that’s not true? Be careful of what you say, otherwise what’s to stop a codeine addict saying, “screw it, may as well use heroin!?!”. Is an addiction to ephedrine the same as an addiction to meth?
Thank you for sharing this story! I am currently working on a similar project featuring California residents who have been affected.
Our Government is certainly going to get rid of this Opioid Epidemic Problem... How? It will campaign exceedingly large to *help the drug addicts* while seeing that true Severe Chronic Pain Sufferers are left with little to no help until they die from suicide or heart attacks --- of which the government will reap the financial rewards by being able to stop disability checks for dead Chronic Pain Sufferers.
Great message !!
You need to take your prescriptions as they were prescribed to be safe. Its your responsibility.
Thank you for sharing and being so honest. This was wonderful and shocking at the same time. I’m so happy for you and how you found true happiness and peace. Loved how you listed all the things you are and there are many. Many blessings, love and light to you and yours.
Ritalin is the solution for every addiction except Porn addiction! Be super nice to animals if on ADHD medication
I live in pain every day with many back and neck surgeries. I took my pain meds as prescribed. I never abused them. Now they have been taken away because to many people abused them. I took them for 30 years and NEVER abused them. I'm 58 years old with my whole spine deteriorated. Why do I have to pay for a crime you committed. Now I sit here waiting to die in pain because of people like you. The opioid crisis has caused over 50 million people living in chronic pain to suffer just like myself. This is wrong and inhumane allowing over 50 million suffer in sever pain.
Addicts suffer too stop feeling sorry for yourself its hard to quit when you are using to many you want others to understand u well understand them then
John Schoellman kratom... is the answer
@@kingjack9036 Addicts do it to themselves, that is the difference. Chronic pain patients deal with way worse pain than a 5-7 day withdrawal. Addicts are running away from life, pain patients are trying to live life.
I am sorry for her suffering but at the same time when she says she should have just been given ibuprofen for her back is a dangerous thing to say. Pain patients are killing themselves every day from a lack of analgesia. Seriously, it's not the doctors fault that she became a heroin addict, and then meth too? Pain patients have it a million times worse than addicts.
John if you're still on these boards I second kratom, feds trying to ban it because it's saving lives.
She too felt pain.. and the doctor prescribed her the opioids and she became addicted. I don’t think it was ever her plan to become addicted to something that would literally ruin her life. People don’t just wake up and decide to become drug addicts. When someone struggles with addiction it’s usually due to other traumas they are coping with through the use of drugs. This woman shared her story so that she can potentially help others struggling with addiction. There’s an opioid epidemic and she’s doing a part to help by sharing her experiences.
It's scary that anyone can be just one sports injury or one painful surgery away from addiction, homelessness, crime, etc.
She is seriously absolutely gorgeous...... I love her story, but I can’t help but find her to be incredibly attractive 💕 girl to girl, YOU GOT THIS!
I’m Hope! Ritalin is the solution for every addiction except Porn addiction! Suboxone is for withdraw symptoms only
Multnomah County Health Department and I'm also reaching out to the woman who told her story...I am working full time and caring for my kids and getting ready for my sons bday n graduation party and my daughter's 8th grade graduation party. One thing about me that I cant feel bad about or my self worth would crumble n jeopardize my sobriety is that I'm on a low dose of methadone. I seem to need it. I have tried 28 days off of it and still hadn't eaten and had to be helped up. I felt horrible. I drug myself to dr and he said some ppl like me who have been on methadone awhile it kind of hijacks your brain and it's not an easy trip back. I had to care for my 2 kids, pay my Bill's and go to work so they suggested I head back to clinic n take the lowest dose I could to function n make it through day on my 2 feet. I bawled my eyes out knowing how I damaged my brain. Drugs really do cause brain damage. You are no longer making the chemicals you need to feel normal. So I'm on a low dose I get in my work line 3 days a week n get 4 take home bottles on Wednesday. It's just for now just for today. I dont go to meetings bc I hear they judge ppl on methadone and that's not helpful. Everyone is different n I just wasnt bouncing back after a month on nothing n had many responsibilities. It does help if u use it properly n I do not get a high from it. I know u could if u took a bunch but if u just take ur dose once every 24 hrs like any other med then that's what it feels like...any other med. Thank you and I pray u all get well no matter what way works for you. You deserve it and have much to offer. Addicts are some of the wisest ppl I've met in my 36 years. Share what u have to offer.
Your story is very eye opening. I am 33 yrs old, and technically going on 4 yrs sober. I say technically because I am on suboxone. I have not used an opiate is almost 4 years, but because of the suboxone some people wouldn't view me as "sober." Therefore, almost no ones knows. My husband and sister do, but they are sooo supportive and never make me feel any less than accomplished! So, I may not know exactly how you feel because we are all different with different circumstances. But I can empathize with your situation. Best of luck! And f@#$ those who view us any other way. We are doing what we can to better our lives. Remember to give yourself ALOT of credit for that. Happy holidays to you and your family!!
@@ashleycapps1720 thank you I appreciate that because I am made to feel very bad about myself. Last month I finally decided to find strength in myself and cut myself off from the people who kept rolling their eyes at me, whispering to each other every time I got home from the clinic and ridiculing me every time I said something I thought was something to be proud of. Example....I said to my mom and sister " I went down another 10 mg today so as long as I feel ok I can keep going down" . They both look at each other then say...that's ridiculous if you wanted to stop taking it you would just stop. I don't care about your situation at the clinic. My mother said that. So I stopped telling her anything. They just don't talk to me.
But last month I decided to strengthen myself and decide that I am enough and I am okay and I'm not doing anything wrong so I'm going to the side on my own to stop shaming myself and look at them as the ones who have something wrong with them. Because I am a mother also and I could never not support my child I have two children and I love them for their wrongs and for their rights and for their faults and for everything else about them. So I've chosen to stop feeling bad about myself for being on methadone because no one knows or they don't know what it feels like and anyone educated knows I can't just stop going I would be in hell.
I wouldn't even be able to work and doctors don't even recommend you just walk away from a clinic without a taper so I had to realize I was talking to uneducated people. And if they dont
Like me then that's okay. I didn't choose this life and I didn't know we would end up here. 13 years ago I was a nurse and I was a damn good one. N I hurt myself
Lifting a patient off of the toilet and I started getting shots in my back and I woke up to a prescription of 90 Percocet. I started taking them for the back pain and I had trouble getting off of them I never even used heroin. But I was taking a lot a lot of pain pills. I was very sick and they ran out and I was advised to go to the clinic and Here we are three years later. I dont want to be on methadone but everytime I try to stop i dont feel normal. It's going to take a lot for my brain to go back to normal and to produce the chemicals that it used to and that's very sad but it is the reality of what I'm dealing with. and it's the reality of what millions of people are dealing with. I just am not going to feel bad about it anymore I don't get high I don't go out and party I don't drink I don't smoke and I can't help at this stage that things are the way they are. So I advise everyone on here to lift ourselves up and strengthen themselves and not let anyone put you down or belittle you because all that means is that they are very uneducated and you can't speak on things that you are non educated on. I hope everything goes well for you also and I congratulate you on your four years of sobriety.
I'm very glad you have support to that's very important. your husband and sister sound like good people. God bless
I’m the girl in this video and I want to encourage you to keep pushing girl! No matter what your recovery looks like just keep going! Forget what other people say. This is your life and your in charge of what it looks like! You sounds like such a beautiful person 😍
@@randialldritt3102 you are the kind of person that is one in a million. Believe it or not I have some friends who get clean and after going through that journey chose to look down at the ppl they once were. I'm always shocked by that. I love what you are doing. I use my journey to be wiser and kinder also. Some ppl in my life I will never be able to talk to bc they say no addiction is a choice bottom line and they don't want to hear anything else. I just put them in a group that just chose not to educate themselves. Even if its hurting the bond w certain family members they want nothing to do with knowing anything about it but that's ok. We just dont talk about it. But I think ppl like you are exceptional. I'm so happy about your success story. I'm just learning now not to live in shame. I work 60 hrs a week, I have a home of my own, a car, my son is in the military and has a savings account and brand new car at 19 yrs old and good head on his shoulders, my daughter gets honor roll, I live a normal life. I made the decision about a yr ago that I'm not living with my head down just bc I take a small dose of medication every morning. I'm 37 and I've lived in shame way too long. Yes I take a small dose of methadone each morning and I only go to the clinic now 2x a month to pick up 13 bottles. My life is full. I have a savings account. I go on vacations. I've tried multiple times to get off of it and I cant function or even get up. Its upsetting but I cant live thinking about that daily. In the end it's such a small detail of my life. I help ppl...I'm generous and I do the best I can every day. And Randi you are such a blessing to ppl everywhere that can hear your story.

Many greetings from Germany
You have your integrity back.
You didn’t blame others.
Its when the withdrawal hits that you truly know you're screwed unless of course you find or get more and ignore it for the meantime. At a point you find yourself unable or with tough luck then you're screwed and scared. My advice is take it as prescribed or in lesser doses. If your pain is very bad especially at night find a sleep aid to take it with so that you find some rest that night. When you're without or in withdrawal and you feel critically ill go get some loperamide take some in moderation its a legal opioid sold OTC not to give you the same pain relieving effects but to calm your cns and stomach issues. Learn and notice how your body works day by day and stay positive for you will get better. If you relapse just remember you will have to do this all over again.
so very true,
You know that feeling when your 24 hours without them things and then your dealer says he doesn’t have wheels to pull up meaning no car, is when you really begin to get scared
I agree about reaching your hand to someone in need, but, still, that person has TO WANT to get help. You can’t just force it on someone. It begins with them. And, I’ve been there and can tell you it’s a great way to get big time ripped off.

So many people are getting addicted and it’s sad pain killers are what kids are using now to get high people think they caint get addicted I just feel it’s so easy so don’t take unless you need them
People who want to get on those drugs are glad to whether they're addictive or not. They don't care.
I was addicted to norcal same story dew to a injury i realy never got high or stoned off norcal they just made me fill good as hell i could focus better take care of important things in life like paying bills keeping up on everything it wasnt a high i used them to focus and take care of business !!! I know when somebody is high and i bet you cant tell if someone just ate 2 norcal
So it makes you feel good. Ha I wonder if this is addiction? To have to change your mindset. You is a then to get through your day. 👌
Norco
How many Norco u took a day
Ate 2 norcos??? You mean swallow??
The beginning of your story, is my story. I'am so fortunate that my husband stuck by me. I don't think I would've stuck by me.

This is Randi- from the video. And 4 years after this video was filmed and my life is better than it ever has been. I am coming up on 8 years clean. My life has surpassed any dream I could of ever had and this is only the beginning! I continue to help people getting off of drugs and show them the path. I try to encourage those going through what I went through that there is hope!
@@randialldritt3102 God bless you. So happy to see and update.
Very sad but true.
Congratulations you are awesome 👏
The biggest problem is not the moralisation or rationalization that you need help, it's finding the values that will sustain you through life.Addicts have been scientfically associated with pain and/or boredom that continues to drive the addiction. Cure your pain and you cure your addiction. That's the theory atleast
My name is Emmanuel. I'm a born again Christian who has been abusing pain pills. I would laugh at the fact that people got hooked on pills. Now I'm fighting to keep my life,marriage,and faith. Norco has become the thorn on my side. Please pray for me I hate the hurt and dread the depression that comes with not having the pills. I want to stop but don't know how.
I'm n the same boat . How many u take a day . How long u been using loratab
How many a day
Don't give up.I know God will help you.Please keep your faith.God does deliver.
Too bad and sad , that Acupuncture is not readily available and payable by insurance . As it is a possible solution to many cases of physical pain .

I have a friend that moved from vicodin to fentnyl and she od'd twice in a year this last time she about died. I am currently on norco for bulging discs in neck and back and only take them when prescribed and when needed. but I'm glad you got clean many I knew died of heroin overdose. pain pills are ok in some circumstance its when you take them when its not needed that can also get you in trouble. I'm happy to see you are clean. I was doing the street stuff too and got sober on my own. part of me using the street drugs is I ddin't want to depend on doctor pills.
I enjoyed your Video.

I recently got prescribed oxys for a skin infection, just the lowest dose and when I took them (just one pill) I was on cloud 9 and I see why people can get addicted to pain meds. I just kept telling myself don’t get addicted but I was like I’ll stick to weed and beer 👍👍✌️✌️✌️
I think weed can become addictive I know people that.smoke that stuff everyday and it isn't the medical kind.jmho
their going to put weed back on as addicting, you should stay away from weed and alcohol, good luck getting off,
@@pursedelighted9020 yes the high from weed is something else and sometimes can put you in such a different place that you want to chase that high. I am guilty of that. i use it once in awhile and just only a tiny bit now.
I’m dealing with Marihuana and sleeping meds addictions
Please pray for me I’m getting sick and I’m desperate
Is she still clean?
I am still clean! I just took 9 years of clean time on 7/11. This video was taken 5 years ago! I can’t believe how much time has passed. Life is absolutely beautiful today.
What sort of doctor would prescribe 90 percoset per week ? Could not be true !! ? I’m a true person that suffers from real pain from failed spine surgery , I have to live with nasty pain every day and nobody understands how it feels .I take medicine now because I have to so I can get out of bed and walk . I have never raised the amount I am on in 5 years . So how does it work ? Seems like people just are not being real about why they take meds in the first place .
U go girl!
Im happy for her recovering but not gonna lie lm super jealous aswell cause how easy it was for her to get her scripts for percocet. Im in severe pain from an injury right now & had a very low count 5mg dose of oxycodone script which was only a 3 day supply & once they were out the doctor said hes not allowed to refill my script & l desperately need them cause theyre the only thing that gives me any releif. OTC dont touch it. If anyone has any advise for my situation any info would be very appreciated. Thx
What a terrible cycle to be in...the biggest take away for me here is that if it feels that good, STOP TAKING IT and go see the doc and let thme know. Then get something else.
its the same for me like in commets i have pricrip for 90 percs a month but if i go off it i get withdrawls too
ive been on these percs for a year now and cant keep getting from the pharmacy can i know how you get yours cuz im looking into getting to the darkweb for lesser price
U take that much Tylenol 90 a week . Thats the 10/325 .. ur looking at 30k mg of Tylenol u ever get ur liver blood work
This is strange to me, I’ve heard several accounts from women getting addicted to opiates, always say they wanted to be a nurse.
Pharmaceutical companies should start putting caffeine in some of these sedatives to lessen the affects of passing out
Good for you!!
People who abuse pain meds.... ruin it for the ones who are at home in pain from surgery!
Betty Jo Hunter she got addicted from them being prescribed...after an accident...
Good. Shes probably saving your ass from becoming an addict. Count your blessings!
Betty Jo Hunter would you like cheese with that whine.
@@roofy2459 never thought of it that way but you're absolutely right.
@@ricktoombs9583 I wish someone would've told me it wasnt all fun and games

In my opinion prescription drugs can be more addictive than illegal drugs. For 14 years i was heavy into alcohol, hash, 3 packs of cigarettes a day, and others. I finally quit everything cold turkey. A year and a half later my back gave out on the job due to ms that i didn't know at the time i was getting. The doctor prescribed painkillers and somas...big mistake. I have been trying to get off of them for the past 12 years now
*What you are witnessing here is theatrics.* I was completely disabled in the latter 70's. I had so much damage I was never supposed to get off a gurney... If I survived.
Severe Chronic Pain should have been an easy issue to overcome if what she was saying was true. Severe Chronic Pain Medication showed itself as being a huge problem that would be with me for the rest of my life, even though living in many states and getting many Doctors. My Severe Chronic Pain Issues were easily revealed. Yet getting proper medical treatment for pain was tremendously difficult to achieve. Even by the early 90's Pain Clinics were already up and running and getting proper treatment already nearly impossible.
The first time I got out of the hospital I was immediately introduced to this, the world of torture. Getting high doses like even Percocet 5 was even worse. My multitude of Severe Chronic Pain types and Issues was a no brainer for even a mediocre Doctor to find. And yet she was getting ten times the relief for a couple injuries than I was getting for a multitude of easily revealed and very severe pain issues.
*Ibprophen and Advil and Motrim* did not exist at that time and so her reference to it also kind of time-stamps her injury period.
The differences between her issues causing pain and my issues causing pain, is simply way to great for her video to be anything but threactics by her.
The above, makes this video an utter fraud put out by governmental agencies producing propaganda to enhance torturing Severe Chronic Pain Sufferers even more.
For her everything was so very gloomy... Sure.
Just a couple minor back problems she stated that could have been controlled by... *I take 2 advil and I am good all day.* lies and hype.
So that is all you take yeah right. I do not believe that for someone who was injured that severely. Sorry.
