I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Yes he's Predroavaro a professional mycologist. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
Why would you even *think* for one second, about showing her hate? Because she was addicted to heroin? How did she hurt you or deserve to be hated by anyone for this ??? Why would you even have to consider hating or not hating her for one moment? Get over yourself. You aren't that important and no one cares what you think of them. No one needs to prove themselves to you.
Randy Prevette I fought hard to get my life back, then I never let anything pull me back down. I knew if I tried anything just once I'd be back in trouble. I now am 50 just became a grandma and LOVE life.
I respect this girl for not being afraid to come out ON THE NEWS to share her story....most people would be afraid to do that. So many dear friends of mine are bad off on heroin/opiates, and they fell into that world the same way she did. Just being young and experimenting. When you're 15 and 16, you're just having fun and you don't think about long term repercussions. Then before you know it, you are addicted. That's why it pisses me off when people label ALL addicts as scum...because they're not. A lot of them were the kids on honor roll, or sports stars at their high school and they tried it once when they were young and they are still paying for it. I just wish the "scum" stigma that people label heroin addicts with would stop. Some of the smartest and best people that I've met have struggled with addiction at one time or another.
So many do good stories. Thank you for sharing. We have been raising our grandson for a year, and his Mom is scheduled fpr rehab on March 12. Please wish us luck.
Julie-Lynn Baker I wish you and your family, the best of luck. Most important tip, even when she is doing great and everything is going well, keep her close and busy. Best Wishes!
This one is interesting to me because normally when you hear about addicts there's always a bad story about their childhoods with her it starts with a girl who just wanted to party as a teen. And it led her down a dark path.
Here over in Canada, we just recently made heroin legal. I personally think that's a good thing. Imagine if every time April needed to get her fix, she could 1) go to a dealer and pay or 2) go to a doctor and get it for free. Chances are, she'll choose the doctor route. That means she'll be in constant contact with our medical system and constantly encouraged to receive treatment for addiction. Addiction needs to be treated as a health care issue, not as a criminal issue.
***** www.cbc.ca/news/canada/crosstown-clinic-heroin-addiction-1.3779768 We have clinics that you can shoot up. We also have clinics that give you free heroin.

This is amazingly advanced, and really shows the vast differences between countries & cultures-and I'm talking about the West. Society will only prosper if people that need to are essentially taken care of instead of being marginalized/criminilised/stigmatized. If April lived in Canada, she'd probably have more chances of turning her life around- in the meantime, she'd had the invaluable privilege of living with *dignity* given back to her. I do believe that heroin addicts could be assessed as fully functional & "intergrated" individuals, were addiction to be finally classified in our collective mind as the *illness* it actually is. Please do acknowledge u get to live in what seems to be the most civilized & progressive country in the West
Really not a good idea. Heroin isn't like weed at all, or most drugs. There is no "I'm full" with heroin, it's a bottomless pit where you do an unlimited amount till you croak. The clinics aren't going to keep up with the demand and then you got the potential for people robbing the clinic. People turn into fuckin zombies during withdrawal and will do whatever it takes to get high. The only thing good I can see come out of it is you demystify it as this magical drug and maybe people who have never used won't be curious to try it.
My son of 26 has been addicted to heroin for 4 years and it's ruined our family our relationships and now today I have to take him to jail I will not see my son for about 5 years if at all possible please stay away from heroin broken father that someone's taking over his son's body its called heroin
Robert Whiteman I know drug programs tell you to cut ties, but you wouldn't want to try to be for him in his hard times, you would if he had cancer, I'm sure you and he both know it isn't an ideal situation, but you wouldn't want to see him as much as you can, god forbid that one day it happens to claim his life?
Heroin is a whole different kind of demon compared to cocaine or crack not saying crack doesn’t have withdrawals but nothing compared to heroin those withdrawals are the worst next to alcohol at least alcohol they give you Librium which controls the withdrawals right away where opiate withdrawals takes days to feel somewhat better
I know how she feels. I have video game addiction. Locked up in my room playing video games for 3 days straight, was a hostage to it. Dehydrated 3 times and nearly went to the hospital. The habit is almost impossible to kick, as video game addiction will soon kill me someday.
I heard it's so popular because it makes you feel like you are in love and you feel loved. When you are alone or live in a loveless marriage, I can see how it would be desirable but you are trading temporary happiness for a lifetime of pain and probably an early death. Don't do it!!!!!
I'm a 63 year old Heroin addict and I love every minute of it! Don't fall for this negative bilgewater. It's easily controlled, and particularly if one has pain issues, or if it simply improves ones life and well being, it can be a wonderful aid and addition in your life. Just use basic logic, and enjoy a better life.
This is absolutely 100% incorrect. Absolutely incorrect. Heroin is NOT easily controlled and NEVER will it in any fashion make your life any better. It will only make life worse. ALWAYS in every single situation. 10 times out of 10. I don’t want anyone to think otherwise because that bullshit can easily ruin someone’s life that’s IF they don’t lose their life ,all because they read your comment and was under the wrong impression of heroin. Once again HEROIN IS NOT EASILY CONTROLLED,IT WONT EVER MAKE LIFE OR ANYTHING ELSE BETTER,and IT WILL ROB YOU OF EVERY SINGLE OUNCE OF HAPPINESS,ROB YOU OF YOUR SELF ESTEEM,MOTIVATION,DETERMINATION,and LIFE itself! ITS NOT WORTH IT! Reach out to someone and don’t be ashamed if you need help. Life is worth so much more ...choose happiness! Choose life!😄❤️🙏🏼
All those are in rehab, happy for u guy,love that ,we all have empty space, trying to fill with lost a things(music, alcohol, drugs,sex)but is temporary,the love off God is permanent,God blesses all u ,stay strong
Poor girl. I feel so sorry for her, wish I could give her a hug and take her pain. I used to have a close friend in my soccer team, the most extravagant, optimistic person I had ever met in my life. Now we are ten years later and he has become a heroin addict. He's been to all kinds of rehabilitation centers and keeps relapsing. Stealing money of his own parents. He even set himself on fire There is no way back. I can see the love in the eyes of this poor girl. She's in a prison and can't get out. Maybe it's best for her to just die and stop the pain. Start over with a clean sheet in the next life To me she's like a deer that got hit by a car and keeps suffering, with no future prospects. It just needs to end, as bad as it may sound. She deserves better than this living hell Much love to this girl
Have you heard of something called Iboga if your friend wants a way out look it up. Its known for completely curing heroin and other drug addictions in a couple of days.
All of what you said is true among addicts but one thing: "There is no way back" is bullshit. If a addict has a moment of clarity and is determined to quit, then he or she can become successful at doing so. I've seen it happen plenty of times, being a counselor.
Addiction is the only disease that can trick you into getting worse all people need to do is to be really shown how far they are willing to go to fight for something that is destroying them and they can turn their life around.
I am 70 yrs old now and back in the late 60's I messed with drugs of all kinds but not "H" or smack. Back then the guys were told that pot lead to heroin and if you smoked pot you would go to heroin. I smoked pot snorted crystal meth, coke, and did different kinds of speed and mescalin, yellow barrel sunshine, purple haze, LSD you name it but NEVER did any heroin. I knew if I did I would be hooked like this girl in this video. So I never did it. I had a chance to deal it but when at my suppliers home I had 2 oz in a zip lock bag that was 50% but in the back of my head a voice 3 times told me NO so after the third time I gave it back and the guy wasn't upset. I got my pills an a sole plate of hash and left. So when a guy takes a girl to such a party he is only doing that for one reason to get her hooked so he will have a fun time each time he fixes her up and gets her loaded. So look where it got her after She had her fun at the party. After I turned 30/31 I had a drastic change in my life and haven't never thought of doing any of that stuff ever again.
bro i tried nearly every drug out there, if you're not feeling well, dont do drugs. just because you're successful doesnt mean you're happy. only the weak get addicted. End of story
Trust me and anyone who has been addicted to heavy drugs. The first time is the most important part of your entire life. DO NOT EVER TRY ANY DRUG AT ALL. Dont drink alcohol, dont smoke weed, dont even do coffe if you can. If you never tried drugs you dont need them and you will most likely have a way better life never touching anything that affects your brain. You think its all bullshit that you go from weed to heroin. But for someone with addictive personality its pretty much over when you start using drugs. Im soon 32 years old, I havent had a single job. I have barely any money, useless food and I cant do anything at all without my drug. Anyone that wants you to try drugs are trying to kill you.
+Golden Arts Cigarettes are worst then heroine, crack, pills combined. I cant believe its still legal. Kills 500,000 people a year. No outcry. I ve smoked but stopped. Still crave it. Been One year
I am 17 years off heroin. I was on it for almost 10. Just remember that relapse start in your mind. Your will start acting like an addict before you put the needle in your arm. I relapsed after having been sober the first time almost 4 years, because i thought I had conquered addiction. At 17 years, I know I will always be vulnerable and never be completely free. I am humbled by that thought.
You had a lot of free pleasure, now pay that pleasure with an equal amount pain to get rid of the addiction. That's how I see this monster, is the pleasure/pain monster. If you can’t pay with pain you will pay with your life. So, get through the fucking pain for once. Seek help and stick with it. It will be horrible, but once you finish whatever program you chose, you will see it was so much worth. A little part of you will always miss the monster, but then other part of you will remind you of the fucking trouble he got you into.
+Geni-us Aggregait lol its true people who do drugs have no excuse it was their choice no one else's.Yes they had troubles in their lives but so do so many people and most gave it way worst than them and still manage to stay away from it.If you don't do drugs in the first place you wont get addicted plain and simple its your choice.
nikkilovesualot Saying that it's their fault, even if it is, doesn't help them. These people are locked in a dark world that you are only shoving them deeper into by saying that. They need real help and encouragement to get better, or they'll just die off one day and that's the end of it
nikkilovesualot You have to understand that blame isn't helpful in any situation. Yes, someone is always responsible, but telling a heroin addict that it's all their fault just shoves them deeper into the dark world that they are locked in. These people need real help and encouragement. Blame just feeds arguments, nothing good comes from blame.
This is so true. You're borrowing pleasure from your future self. To even have a chance of quitting you must get through the first 7 days withdrawal. Mandatory week lock up to all heroin addicts with access to hot showers and then it's mostly mental and there's hope. Otherwise the cycle continues.
FUCKSAKE!!!! Come live with me...:( I've been there... Im sat here now not entirely sober but i'm off the street, I made it off through luck and kindness and I wish I could help this poor girl like people helped me. If you ever read this April, I MEAN IT
This is what happens when you cut drug ed. classes from highschool... Young teens get into shit having no idea what it does... In grade 7 or 8, we had a drug ed class & learned all the popular drugs & what they do. I still smoked pot but it was an informed decision... always stayed away from artificial shit
***** I'm just saying it's better to know beforehand what you're getting into. Also I'm Canadian & I'm not sure how US statistics would be relevant here, assuming that's the case.
there is a national drug class that is manditory here in the U.S. called DARE and this is from a study of DARE.... "The U.S. Department of Education prohibits schools from spending its funding on DARE because the program is completely ineffective in reducing alcohol and drug use."
I want to be clean and stay away from Heroin too but I can't cus it's so painful when we don't get it and I am so afraid to tell anyone that I need help.. I want my good old life back but everyone around me see me as I am some kind of trash cus I am addicted to heroin.. I want to live good life just like them too but the problem is I going through difficult phase of my life cus of this herojn addiction I don't have money for treatment nor I can't tell anyone or ask anyone for help cus I know they won't help me instead try to put me down.. I am tired with my life wish death comes soon as early as possible
Stop feeling sorry for yourself. If you want to be clean you can, i kicked the habbit a long time ago. Dope withdrawl is harsh but its rarely fatal. Just stick with it, and i can promise life will get soo much better.
Flying Spaghetti Monster - When did you go to school? Was it sometime in the nineteen fifties? They teach kids and teenagers all about illegal and legal drugs. They teach all about the effects on the human body from drugs and alcohol. They focus intensively just how addiction works as well as how quickly an addiction can take hold. They have programs dedicated to drug awareness taught by police officers. Schools frequently have outside groups come in and talk at assemblies. It's been that way at very least since nineteen eighty-three when they started the D.A.R.E. program. Teenagers are taught a good deal about the human body and sexuality also. That's not the issue, the main thing is the teenage mind is seriously focused on things that have little meaning and seem to have a hard time applying the knowledge they receive adequately in the absence of first hand experience. They feel invisible and infallible. We've all gone through the steps of growing up and should be very much aware of the dramatic difference in our thought process from certain stages of our lives. I think back to my thoughts and feelings when I was nineteen and am often baffled by how I was.
When you use language like 'hooked' or 'alcoholic,' you are in defeatism. See it as a habit or a sin, and you will have a little hope. This is not a disease. It's a choice.
It took my niece and a big black guy that I knocked over the head with a pipe wrench for gas money to go see her birth. That black man I thought was a drug dealer was a pastor of a new age church that found me a week later just as I was about to start back using. He kidnapped me tied me up and kept me feed and watered until my withdraw was over. I was scared I was going to die and that man gave me freedom hope and love. Thank you Mr Fisher.
YoungDreezee I see want you're getting at but... I think you mean demons. I believe an angel that works for the devil is no longer considered angel but demon.
Oh good Lord, "If I knew what would happen, I never would have touched it". REALLY? Anybody on the planet knows that heroin is an addictive drug? Even kids in 5th grade know that?! I used to snort heroin, and I knew it was a massively addictive drug, but still did it. For someone to say they had no idea what it would do? Thats just ridiculous.
+Cee Dee Sometimes things happen so fast you have no time to think and by the time you do its too late. A better advise though is to always be careful with the people you surround yourself with.
+Cee Dee lmao. i knew as a little kid that drugs are bad. not because of scare tactics but i would find it unacceptable to fuck up my body. i love my body and i am not even a model. i am just an avg. guy!
+Cee Dee Youre right. But some kids are fortunate to have parents that tell them to say no. some kids have parents who are addicts themselves, or they live in a bad neighborhood and all the "cool kids are selling drugs", if its a part of your environment- its just as acceptable to do drugs, as it is to "Just Say No" in someone like Your environment.
What a cruel world. You go a little out of line and you are homeless. Isnt that cruelty what we should put our mind into more more than some chemicals? Chemicals can be beaten with sport,hobbies, but disconection between people cant.
19 years later I still remember my first hit I loved it so much a tear of pure joy rolled down my face on methadone now for the last two years and finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel by Jesus the road was long and filled with dark holes it’s strips you of your dignity and all your worldly possessions all you ever had an all you’re going to have until you really want to stop and then you have a chance you have to want it to stop!!!
That is so sad it hurts so bad to see the reality of this drug and how horrible it is!! I've been clean from it for half a year and Iam 20 years old. So it really hit me hard seeing how much potential she is still full of but how she is throwing it away....
i guess the most miserable thing is that they put people in jail for substance abuse. if you argument like this they could close every bar and send the people in there to jail. it s just wrong. for you steveo all the best.
Been a heroin addict for 21 years! I can't go back to the methadone clinic cause I kept testing positive for benzodiazepines.. now what can I do?? It's just by the grace of God I'm still alive!
More excellent points Dr. Kline. Great job! How a group of doctors can deny the fact that excruciating pain can lead to suicide makes me think there's more here than meets the eye. Let's face it. Many morally bankrupt people have done far less for money.
So, this was uploaded in May of this year, correct? She was 16 in 2010, if my math is correct. (sarcasm.) She said, "if I knew what was gonna happen, I would have never touched it." What do you mean you didn't know what was gonna happen? Multiple celebrities, both musicians & movie actors have ended up stone cold DEAD as a direct result of the very shit you're unnecessarily pumping into your veins for absolutely no reason. By the time 2010 rolled around, the affects of heroin had been fully understood and scientifically researched, etc. A wealth of knowledge & examples had been out there at that time. Don't tell me you were so brain dead at the age of 16 that you literally had NO idea what heroin was going to do to you in the long run. You get no sympathy from me. NONE. This just angers the shit out of me.
alexander magill You know I was right, right? By the time 2010 rolled around, heroin was no mystery substance. Stupid bitch should have known better. It really is as simple as saying no to whoever introduces you to it. It's sort of understandable if it was in the 1960s or some shit like that. But in 2010? Get the fuck out of here with the pity party, little girl.
i was wrong....to call you a snob. bully is more appropriate....why make a right wrong scenario out of it? anyone can google statistics, bro.....when's the last time your list of facts and graphs helped out a friend of yours?...assuming you have friends, that is. do you speak so aggressively to everyone you witness in personal tragedy?
20 years old? Already in and out of jail? Oh sweet girl I hope you can escape this disease before it takes you. 😭 praying she’s okay, this is quite an old video. Oh man, this hurt my hearts.
Thank you April for your testimony you're a brave girl looking to get off drugs There is a solution for this epidemic, would you like to talk about it?
It's mostly mental. William S. Burroughs wrote in his book that physical addiction to heroin doesn't occur over night or from one usage. A person has to be using daily for months to become physically dependent or even feel withdrawal symptoms. He writes that mental addiction keeps a person using until they maybe acquire a physical dependance to heroin but other than that with will power most can break the habit. There is nothing forcing someone to use other than themselves and it is harsh of me to say but drugs are used too often as scapegoats for poor decisions. Have you ever stole a dollar from your moms purse to buy a candy bar? Most kids have but you can't blame the candy bar for poor judgement and the same can be said for drugs. Yes they are bad and lead to unhealthy life style choices but they don't make a thief, a killer, or a bad person out of anyone. These people choose to make those poor decisions and they are alone at fault. From personal experience I can say my friends and I that used in college held jobs, maintained grades, and never resorted to any other criminal activity during our time as users. We are sober now and it was as easy as setting a date and done. We stopped using. If you were to go to a rehab center and speak to an addict they would tell you they have been using for years daily before entering rehab because that's literally what it takes to become an addict.
+PiniataMurderer Well, William S. Buroughs did kick Junk. Many times. But he never stayed kicked for very long. He is right that physycal depencancy comes on slowly, but the rest he probably wrote during a time when he was just on booze and canabanoids before going back to his main lover, junk. He started using in this thirties and was still going strong in his eighties.. It took moving to rural Kansas to get him stable on methadone (and booze and weed.) So, take what he says about addiction with a grain of salt, and not a grain of morphine, as he did, please.
PiniataMurderer wrong my friend. Did you ever used against your will? did you ever woke up in the middle of the night and jump in your car to get your fix? You sound more of a "social" user.. When you hit a rehab center you are most closely to hit rock bottom. BTW thanks your higher power you are still alive...Is an addict an addict because he used drugs or used drugs because is an addict?
Well thank god you were able to read a book and spread your infinite knowledge on the subject. Comparing it to stealing a dollar for a candy bar from your mom....words cant describe how much of a stupid fuck you are!
Apparently Burroughs doesn't know jack shit, he was lying, or you are misrepresenting what he said. You can suffer physical withdrawal symptoms after just 3 or 4 days of using lightly. What you said is not harsh, it is ignorant and lazy thinking. period.
Yes I was thinking this too. People don't usually get dope sick in just a couple of hours either. It generally takes the body around 12 hours to process all the heroin even if your not high. It's when the body is heroin free the dope sickness starts.
All of this matters about how much of a habit you have. You can't say "oh well this amount will give you this much time." When I started out sniffing, a bag would have me droolin' for 4+ hours, and that's drooling. I'd feel fucked up for upwards of 8 hours. Eventually, about 2 years down the road, I'd need 6 bags to just not be sick. You don't really feel anything from the dope, just the fact that you don't feel like you have full blown flu. 10 bags would get me a nod at that point, but I'd usually just end up going to bed because I'd just finished a 16hr day of work to support my habit and pay rent.
I have been clean since august and honestly I been doing good no meds or anything I’m doing it all sober and I feel amazing after I did methadone to get off dope once the withdraw from the methadone kicked in it showed me to never go back was the worst experience ever plus when I lefted from rehab so many close friends died it showed me that drugs is just another way of playing rush and rullet with ur life.... if u need help seek it ppl are there to help and many of them been ur that position...
Yeah, several hours bud, £20 worth can do you half a day roughly but depending how strong the stuff is you may need it sooner than usual! Over here in the UK Heroin is roughly around 8 - 15% pure, where as back at the turn of the century it was double this strength-wise!,...roughly 20 - 35%! Then of course you can get "burned",..ripped off, sold a bag of chalk dust etc or Heroin thats been cut down to almost no strength what-so-ever! Also the longer you use the higher your tolerance goes which is why a long-term addict needs more N more to get stoned! TBH its that old manta,.."How long is a piece of string",...Hope this bit of info helps some dude?
Hi man, thanks 4 your concern dude!!,..Much appreciated indeed man! I regret to inform i am speaking from experience dude, im in the midst of "Experience" at the mo & in a bit of a mess bud! But its up to my stoopid self to pick myself back up & get on with a more positive lifestyle bro. Its a hard habit to kick, ive been clean before, for several years too, was running almost 13 miles per day, going fishing 2-3 times a week & mountain biking etc, but after years of cleanliness i took a "wrong turn",..again. There were several factors in life that hit me hard, a few close family deaths got me really down, but this is no excuse, although every addict has a "cop-out" to why they use or relapse TBH bro!! Also being on your own at this time of the year aint too nice, so theirs another "excuse" to use, i just hope i can get back to my running & non-using lifestyle as i did feel so much more positive about daily life matey! Again i sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for your concern bro, the little things do matter man!! I hope you & yours have a fantastic Xmas & New Year man,...Regards from Scotland, UK! x
I've never done drugs never will but after a few hits or whatever you call it does an addict actually enjoy the drug like they did when they first tried it? or do they just form a dependence but they don't enjoy it as much as their first time.
+rachel osoiro That's because they enjoy it don't want to quit weed even if they say they do.... It's different with morphine type drugs because unless the person is 100% committed to quitting then they will NOT be able to cos of the withdrawals. If there is a shred of doubt then the person will fall right back into it..... They may genuinely have a desire to quit but the fear of withdrawal is usually stronger than the desire to quit.... Marijuana is different. If the person makes the decision to quit, there isn't much to stop him or her, except perhaps a little trouble falling asleep. Weed is far less evil than morphine. Quitting it wont make you shiver, sweat and shit out liquids for a week..... I speak from experience like you probably do, I've been addicted to weed (17-21), morphine (23-28), alcohol on and off, cigarettes (17-27) and even ecstasy when I was 20 and dexamphetamine but I'm clean now.
Scary... it seems like no matter how well a chld is brought up (great parents, family, school, etc) if they meet friends or significant other who has drugs available and decide to give something a try, they can become addicted. IMO it's about environment... if people around you are doing any drugs, there is a greater likelihood of someone around you doing hard drugs and the ability to try that now exists.
She is brave to come forward and warn people. My fear for her is someone putting fentanyl in her drugs and accidentally overdosing. I pray for her to find strength to quit.
Wait I know this may sound stupid but I read that withdrawal from heroin lasts only about 10 days and it doesn't have any lasting damage like withdrawal from krokodil which also lasts about a month and is a lot more painful and leaves people with lasting effects. so does that mean that theoretically if a person gathered up all their will power and quit cold turkey and then kept themselves busy with something they loved other than drugs could they kick their habit?
The short answer is it depends on the individual. Longer answer, there is physical dependence and there is addiction. Once the acute withdrawal has passed, depending on doses used, length of use, and age of first use, many people go on to have post-acute withdrawal symptoms for months or longer. But, even once the dependence is broken, the psychological addiction remains. Addicts often don't know any other way to deal with stress or anxiety. They may be surrounded by things that will remind them of using. And, they may have been using heroin to deal with real pain, physical or emotional. That pain will come back. A dear friend of mine is killing herself with this stuff. Heroin is only one of her problems. It is what she uses to cope with her underlying problem, her self-hatred. However, at this point, heroin has become by far her biggest problem, if that makes any sense. She has detoxed plenty of times but she continues to relapse because she doesn't want to face the pain inside her. In her case it is not simply a matter of willpower. She has to either face her demons or spend whatever remains of her life running from them. Not all addicts fit this profile. However, in my experience, nearly all of the really bad addicts come from extremely dysfunctional families and/or have had major trauma in their lives.
im going to try to answer this. ideally, yes but the physical and mental pain is so real and awful that that person would have to have the mind over matter game of an extraterrestrial.

Well technically drugs like heroin and meth put off more euphoria than the human brain should be allowed to feel. So it’s hard for addicts to live knowing there’s a happiness they can feel far greater then you could ever have sober
jerickzane you think this is a joke? No wounder so many of you young people get hooked. You have no idea what your talking about. idk you right. i do know.
I watched somebody died of a heroin overdose this is how it went down my brother in law was a user he was found in the bathroom in 2006 purple in color and not breathing he didn't even get the needle out of his arm an ambulance was called and he was rushed to an emergency room where are they got him on a ventilator and started running test he was in a coma the next day all the test results came back and it showed that he had very sporadic brain activity and the family was told if he survived he would be a vegetable so my sister had to make the choice to have him removed from life support they pulled the ventilator tube and he continued to breathe on his own for about 6 hours as his lungs slowly filled with fluid and his breath got shorter and shorter it was a horrible noise almost like I cross between a snore and moaning until he took his last breath the entire family was in his room and his father was holding his hand his mother was there too
Its more intense and instant... if u iv oxy then about the same but wds r worse and come on quicker... it will destroy u tho. 3 years iv oxy nobody knew... 3 mos on H and everybody knew. Thank God for methadone. I know a lot of people hate it but if it werent for it, I would be dead. Seriously.
Yeah, because daily (recreational) weed smokers tend to be highly successful in their given careers, right? Perhaps someday, you’ll graduate past the emotional intelligence of your average five year old.
my 19 year old sis got out after being in prison and did heroin the first week she was out even though she was on probation and got randomly drug tested. i was so angry with her. part of me keeps saying why cant see just enjoy life? shes done it all to get high too. ive found hotel cards in her room etc. its sad. its sickening.
kushdaddy144 yeah. she just got sentenced last week and is going back to prison for a full year again for failing her drug test. shes safer in there though then being out on the streets
Nunya Stieger Nope. You do know you can get heroin in prison right? She will be worse since now she has a criminal record so she is going to have a harder time trying to find a job once she is out. She will lose motivation in life again and go back to shooting up.
All she needs is 50ml methadone a day for 3weeks then send her far away for 6months to rehab. she needs to leave that area for a long while then get a job and meet new non drug addicted people and stick with them slowly she will get back to normal.
Basic study of brain biology and neurochemistry differs from your opinion, but I see where you're coming from. I take it you've never abused opioids? You know that feeling right at the point of orgasm? Times that feeling by 20 and realize the duration of peak lasts 20-30 minutes with an overall high of 3-4 hours and you should get the point... It's not like quitting coffee or weed. Your brain's "reward pathway" that tells you to seek food, sex, rewarding careers and family is completely hijacked to the point that nothing but opioids can make you feel "rewarded". Life seems so dull, grey and lifeless without it. It's not about willpower at all... They run back to it because after that much alteration to brain chemistry it takes 1-2 years to completely return to baseline. Withdrawal may be over in 5-10 days, but PAWS can last up to a year or more. All the more reason to never try it, it really is THAT good...
You never know until you walk in someone's shoes. I pray this never happens to any of you ignorant people or your children. That's someone's daughter you're judging. I hope she gets the help she needs and takes it one day at a time ❤🙏🏼
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES very sure of mycologist Predroavaro. This treatment worked for me. Helped me got rid of my anxiety and BPD.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Predroavaro a professional mycologist. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
I don't have a drug addiction but I know what addiction feels like. Instead of showing this girl hate I will show her empathy.
+Blue Collar Good job. People like you make the world a better place.
Okay. Cool story.
Why would you even *think* for one second, about showing her hate? Because she was addicted to heroin? How did she hurt you or deserve to be hated by anyone for this ??? Why would you even have to consider hating or not hating her for one moment? Get over yourself. You aren't that important and no one cares what you think of them. No one needs to prove themselves to you.
@@ChosenWon You're just as ignorant as he is. People like the two of you.make the world a despicable place.

13yrs on heroin, 3 overdoses, and 50-150$ per day spent on dope. Now 3 yrs clean. It took a prison sentance for me to smarten up.

Never tried it, never will. Too many lives ruined from it. Too many opportunities missed, and dreams stolen by these drugs.
Good choice...cuz I promise u wont be able to just do it once
I’m with you ChallengForChangeGirl2020. I’ve never tried this garbage either, and I’m not going to. Going for a walk on the beach instead.
Only the weak minded try hard drugs like heroin.
I'm gonna do it once I retire. I'll IV it with some coke with my buddies
I was on heroine for 13 years sleeping on the streets in Chicago. And now I owned 34 semi truck and life is beautiful
Really . You were on the gear but you can't spell it .. heroin.
Christopher Reeve's unused wheelchair. lol exactly
So heroin makes you spell correctly?
That makes sense..
It's heroin.
I respect this girl for not being afraid to come out ON THE NEWS to share her story....most people would be afraid to do that. So many dear friends of mine are bad off on heroin/opiates, and they fell into that world the same way she did. Just being young and experimenting. When you're 15 and 16, you're just having fun and you don't think about long term repercussions. Then before you know it, you are addicted. That's why it pisses me off when people label ALL addicts as scum...because they're not. A lot of them were the kids on honor roll, or sports stars at their high school and they tried it once when they were young and they are still paying for it. I just wish the "scum" stigma that people label heroin addicts with would stop. Some of the smartest and best people that I've met have struggled with addiction at one time or another.
So many do good stories. Thank you for sharing. We have been raising our grandson for a year, and his Mom is scheduled fpr rehab on March 12. Please wish us luck.
Julie-Lynn Baker I wish you and your family, the best of luck. Most important tip, even when she is doing great and everything is going well, keep her close and busy. Best Wishes!
This one is interesting to me because normally when you hear about addicts there's always a bad story about their childhoods with her it starts with a girl who just wanted to party as a teen. And it led her down a dark path.
Here over in Canada, we just recently made heroin legal. I personally think that's a good thing. Imagine if every time April needed to get her fix, she could 1) go to a dealer and pay or 2) go to a doctor and get it for free. Chances are, she'll choose the doctor route. That means she'll be in constant contact with our medical system and constantly encouraged to receive treatment for addiction.
Addiction needs to be treated as a health care issue, not as a criminal issue.
***** www.cbc.ca/news/canada/crosstown-clinic-heroin-addiction-1.3779768
We have clinics that you can shoot up. We also have clinics that give you free heroin.
▬▬► Hi frieеeеnds. If yоu ооооr а lоvеd onе nееds hеlр with drugs оr ааlcоhоl аddiсtiоn CАLL ►►► *1-888-966-2616* (Toll-Free) Dоn't wаit until its tоo latе whееeеrе thееeеrе is lifе thеrе is hоре pееacе аnd blessings!
This is amazingly advanced, and really shows the vast differences between countries & cultures-and I'm talking about the West. Society will only prosper if people that need to are essentially taken care of instead of being marginalized/criminilised/stigmatized. If April lived in Canada, she'd probably have more chances of turning her life around- in the meantime, she'd had the invaluable privilege of living with *dignity* given back to her.
I do believe that heroin addicts could be assessed as fully functional & "intergrated" individuals, were addiction to be finally classified in our collective mind as the *illness* it actually is. Please do acknowledge u get to live in what seems to be the most civilized & progressive country in the West
Really not a good idea. Heroin isn't like weed at all, or most drugs. There is no "I'm full" with heroin, it's a bottomless pit where you do an unlimited amount till you croak. The clinics aren't going to keep up with the demand and then you got the potential for people robbing the clinic. People turn into fuckin zombies during withdrawal and will do whatever it takes to get high. The only thing good I can see come out of it is you demystify it as this magical drug and maybe people who have never used won't be curious to try it.
You are wrong. Period.
My son of 26 has been addicted to heroin for 4 years and it's ruined our family our relationships and now today I have to take him to jail I will not see my son for about 5 years if at all possible please stay away from heroin broken father that someone's taking over his son's body its called heroin
Robert Whiteman I know drug programs tell you to cut ties, but you wouldn't want to try to be for him in his hard times, you would if he had cancer, I'm sure you and he both know it isn't an ideal situation, but you wouldn't want to see him as much as you can, god forbid that one day it happens to claim his life?
He all I got I will I will never give up on him
Robert Whiteman
Sorry, I missed the point where you said it was because of the 5 years in jail.
No he mite get 5 years for the stuff he's done but no hes my boy I will go as fair as I got to go to help him
Robert Whiteman it took me getting a 3 yr prison sentance to beat a 13yr battle with it. Best of luck to your family .
It takes balls to go on the news and come out like this.
They can do it..I'm 11yrs clean from crack cocaine and you know who helped me GOD..no rehab no consular..God is my healer AMEN THANK YOU LORD 🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏽
Crack doesn't give you the same withdrawal symptoms as heroin. It's not an opioid.
But congrats. It's still very hard to kick. I've had friends who never could.
Same here from pills
Joann, I'm clean from crack for 2 years. Gods with me but hasn't showed himself yet.
Heroin is a whole different kind of demon compared to cocaine or crack not saying crack doesn’t have withdrawals but nothing compared to heroin those withdrawals are the worst next to alcohol at least alcohol they give you Librium which controls the withdrawals right away where opiate withdrawals takes days to feel somewhat better
I know how she feels. I have video game addiction. Locked up in my room playing video games for 3 days straight, was a hostage to it. Dehydrated 3 times and nearly went to the hospital. The habit is almost impossible to kick, as video game addiction will soon kill me someday.
Same, matter of fact i shoot up Minecraft and smoke CS:GO
your video game "addiction" is only psychological.
its NOTHING compared to a methamphetamine or heroin addiction.

God we have to find a miracle, so many young people under the heroin spell, thank you for sharing your pain and may God bless you.
I heard it's so popular because it makes you feel like you are in love and you feel loved. When you are alone or live in a loveless marriage, I can see how it would be desirable but you are trading temporary happiness for a lifetime of pain and probably an early death. Don't do it!!!!!

To this girl never lose hope your never a lost cause your a beautiful person and you will find a way out all my prayers are with you God bless
I'm a 63 year old Heroin addict and I love every minute of it! Don't fall for this negative bilgewater. It's easily controlled, and particularly if one has pain issues, or if it simply improves ones life and well being, it can be a wonderful aid and addition in your life. Just use basic logic, and enjoy a better life.
This is absolutely 100% incorrect. Absolutely incorrect. Heroin is NOT easily controlled and NEVER will it in any fashion make your life any better. It will only make life worse. ALWAYS in every single situation. 10 times out of 10. I don’t want anyone to think otherwise because that bullshit can easily ruin someone’s life that’s IF they don’t lose their life ,all because they read your comment and was under the wrong impression of heroin. Once again HEROIN IS NOT EASILY CONTROLLED,IT WONT EVER MAKE LIFE OR ANYTHING ELSE BETTER,and IT WILL ROB YOU OF EVERY SINGLE OUNCE OF HAPPINESS,ROB YOU OF YOUR SELF ESTEEM,MOTIVATION,DETERMINATION,and LIFE itself! ITS NOT WORTH IT! Reach out to someone and don’t be ashamed if you need help. Life is worth so much more ...choose happiness! Choose life!😄❤️🙏🏼
All those are in rehab, happy for u guy,love that ,we all have empty space, trying to fill with lost a things(music, alcohol, drugs,sex)but is temporary,the love off God is permanent,God blesses all u ,stay strong
i hope shes doing okay now. shes so beautiful and seems like such a kind person. she doesn't deserve to feel like this and go through this.
Poor girl. I feel so sorry for her, wish I could give her a hug and take her pain.
I used to have a close friend in my soccer team, the most extravagant, optimistic person I had ever met in my life. Now we are ten years later and he has become a heroin addict. He's been to all kinds of rehabilitation centers and keeps relapsing. Stealing money of his own parents. He even set himself on fire
There is no way back.
I can see the love in the eyes of this poor girl. She's in a prison and can't get out.
Maybe it's best for her to just die and stop the pain. Start over with a clean sheet in the next life
To me she's like a deer that got hit by a car and keeps suffering, with no future prospects. It just needs to end, as bad as it may sound.
She deserves better than this living hell
Much love to this girl
Have you heard of something called Iboga if your friend wants a way out look it up. Its known for completely curing heroin and other drug addictions in a couple of days.
All of what you said is true among addicts but one thing: "There is no way back" is bullshit. If a addict has a moment of clarity and is determined to quit, then he or she can become successful at doing so. I've seen it happen plenty of times, being a counselor.
Addiction is the only disease that can trick you into getting worse all people need to do is to be really shown how far they are willing to go to fight for something that is destroying them and they can turn their life around.
Devilsnowballs It cures the a large part of the physical part but not the mental so people go right back to heroin!
Dear lord Jesus please touch this beautiful girl with your healing hands full her with your love grace mercy and healing thank you father
🙏 amen.

@@RAGEMASTER1 *Your
I am 70 yrs old now and back in the late 60's I messed with drugs of all kinds but not "H" or smack. Back then the guys were told that pot lead to heroin and if you smoked pot you would go to heroin. I smoked pot snorted crystal meth, coke, and did different kinds of speed and mescalin, yellow barrel sunshine, purple haze, LSD you name it but NEVER did any heroin.
I knew if I did I would be hooked like this girl in this video. So I never did it. I had a chance to deal it but when at my suppliers home I had 2 oz in a zip lock bag that was 50% but in the back of my head a voice 3 times told me NO so after the third time I gave it back and the guy wasn't upset. I got my pills an a sole plate of hash and left. So when a guy takes a girl to such a party he is only doing that for one reason to get her hooked so he will have a fun time each time he fixes her up and gets her loaded. So look where it got her after She had her fun at the party.
After I turned 30/31 I had a drastic change in my life and haven't never thought of doing any of that stuff ever again.
meth isnt rly addictive
maybe if ur life is trash you would get addicted to it
but that goes for every drug
maybe if youve given up on life
bro i tried nearly every drug out there, if you're not feeling well, dont do drugs. just because you're successful doesnt mean you're happy. only the weak get addicted. End of story
Trust me and anyone who has been addicted to heavy drugs. The first time is the most important part of your entire life. DO NOT EVER TRY ANY DRUG AT ALL. Dont drink alcohol, dont smoke weed, dont even do coffe if you can. If you never tried drugs you dont need them and you will most likely have a way better life never touching anything that affects your brain. You think its all bullshit that you go from weed to heroin. But for someone with addictive personality its pretty much over when you start using drugs. Im soon 32 years old, I havent had a single job. I have barely any money, useless food and I cant do anything at all without my drug. Anyone that wants you to try drugs are trying to kill you.

You're so right... Man, I did coffee once.... I had no idea what it would lead to.... Now I'm... Perfectly fine. It's fucking coffee. Took it too far
I am 17 years off heroin. I was on it for almost 10. Just remember that relapse start in your mind. Your will start acting like an addict before you put the needle in your arm. I relapsed after having been sober the first time almost 4 years, because i thought I had conquered addiction. At 17 years, I know I will always be vulnerable and never be completely free. I am humbled by that thought.
You had a lot of free pleasure, now pay that pleasure with an equal amount pain to get rid of the addiction. That's how I see this monster, is the pleasure/pain monster. If you can’t pay with pain you will pay with your life. So, get through the fucking pain for once. Seek help and stick with it. It will be horrible, but once you finish whatever program you chose, you will see it was so much worth. A little part of you will always miss the monster, but then other part of you will remind you of the fucking trouble he got you into.
+Geni-us Aggregait lol its true people who do drugs have no excuse it was their choice no one else's.Yes they had troubles in their lives but so do so many people and most gave it way worst than them and still manage to stay away from it.If you don't do drugs in the first place you wont get addicted plain and simple its your choice.
nikkilovesualot Saying that it's their fault, even if it is, doesn't help them. These people are locked in a dark world that you are only shoving them deeper into by saying that. They need real help and encouragement to get better, or they'll just die off one day and that's the end of it
nikkilovesualot You have to understand that blame isn't helpful in any situation. Yes, someone is always responsible, but telling a heroin addict that it's all their fault just shoves them deeper into the dark world that they are locked in. These people need real help and encouragement. Blame just feeds arguments, nothing good comes from blame.
This is so true. You're borrowing pleasure from your future self. To even have a chance of quitting you must get through the first 7 days withdrawal. Mandatory week lock up to all heroin addicts with access to hot showers and then it's mostly mental and there's hope. Otherwise the cycle continues.
You need at least 60 day lockup,,,seven days you will still feel like shit and will end up using...
FUCKSAKE!!!! Come live with me...:( I've been there... Im sat here now not entirely sober but i'm off the street, I made it off through luck and kindness and I wish I could help this poor girl like people helped me. If you ever read this April, I MEAN IT

***** I'm just saying it's better to know beforehand what you're getting into. Also I'm Canadian & I'm not sure how US statistics would be relevant here, assuming that's the case.
there is a national drug class that is manditory here in the U.S. called DARE and this is from a study of DARE.... "The U.S. Department of Education prohibits schools from spending its funding on DARE because the program is completely ineffective in reducing alcohol and drug use."
I have 8 years clean from heroin. Praying April is in recovery
I'm 3 years clean from heroin and ice .. I believe you can do it .. it just takes time it's never going to be perfect but as long as u keep trying

I want my good old life back but everyone around me see me as I am some kind of trash cus I am addicted to heroin.. I want to live good life just like them too but the problem is I going through difficult phase of my life cus of this herojn addiction I don't have money for treatment nor I can't tell anyone or ask anyone for help cus I know they won't help me instead try to put me down.. I am tired with my life wish death comes soon as early as possible
I’m praying for u

4.2 GPA but didn't know heroin was addictive?
Tobasco 1765 - That's one for the record books!
Was going to say I have a 2.4 and know that heroin is addictive
fsylla69 - Why do you have a two point four grade point average?
In all fairness, school will teach you calculus but never anything about drugs, your body, health, etc
Flying Spaghetti Monster - When did you go to school? Was it sometime in the nineteen fifties? They teach kids and teenagers all about illegal and legal drugs. They teach all about the effects on the human body from drugs and alcohol. They focus intensively just how addiction works as well as how quickly an addiction can take hold. They have programs dedicated to drug awareness taught by police officers. Schools frequently have outside groups come in and talk at assemblies. It's been that way at very least since nineteen eighty-three when they started the D.A.R.E. program. Teenagers are taught a good deal about the human body and sexuality also. That's not the issue, the main thing is the teenage mind is seriously focused on things that have little meaning and seem to have a hard time applying the knowledge they receive adequately in the absence of first hand experience. They feel invisible and infallible. We've all gone through the steps of growing up and should be very much aware of the dramatic difference in our thought process from certain stages of our lives. I think back to my thoughts and feelings when I was nineteen and am often baffled by how I was.
When you use language like 'hooked' or 'alcoholic,' you are in defeatism. See it as a habit or a sin, and you will have a little hope. This is not a disease. It's a choice.
If they could choose to stop, sure they would, it's more complicated than a choice.
this is sad. i hope she can find a way to save herself.
It took my niece and a big black guy that I knocked over the head with a pipe wrench for gas money to go see her birth. That black man I thought was a drug dealer was a pastor of a new age church that found me a week later just as I was about to start back using. He kidnapped me tied me up and kept me feed and watered until my withdraw was over. I was scared I was going to die and that man gave me freedom hope and love. Thank you Mr Fisher.
When I said start back using I ment the needle. I never stoped snorting it to stay well.

Oh good Lord, "If I knew what would happen, I never would have touched it". REALLY? Anybody on the planet knows that heroin is an addictive drug? Even kids in 5th grade know that?! I used to snort heroin, and I knew it was a massively addictive drug, but still did it. For someone to say they had no idea what it would do? Thats just ridiculous.
+Cee Dee Sometimes things happen so fast you have no time to think and by the time you do its too late. A better advise though is to always be careful with the people you surround yourself with.
+Cee Dee lmao. i knew as a little kid that drugs are bad. not because of scare tactics but i would find it unacceptable to fuck up my body. i love my body and i am not even a model. i am just an avg. guy!
+Cee Dee Youre right. But some kids are fortunate to have parents that tell them to say no. some kids have parents who are addicts themselves, or they live in a bad neighborhood and all the "cool kids are selling drugs", if its a part of your environment- its just as acceptable to do drugs, as it is to "Just Say No" in someone like Your environment.
+Cee Dee Good point. Maybe she meant she thought she could quit if she wanted to.
+Sweetfungirl11 Very true.
What a cruel world. You go a little out of line and you are homeless. Isnt that cruelty what we should put our mind into more more than some chemicals? Chemicals can be beaten with sport,hobbies, but disconection between people cant.
Never done heroin but have had other incredible highs. Being addicted is beyond amazing. miss it a lot sometimes.
19 years later I still remember my first hit I loved it so much a tear of pure joy rolled down my face on methadone now for the last two years and finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel by Jesus the road was long and filled with dark holes it’s strips you of your dignity and all your worldly possessions all you ever had an all you’re going to have until you really want to stop and then you have a chance you have to want it to stop!!!
That is so sad it hurts so bad to see the reality of this drug and how horrible it is!! I've been clean from it for half a year and Iam 20 years old. So it really hit me hard seeing how much potential she is still full of but how she is throwing it away....
What a shame! she's so beautiful!
Yeah but you can bet it looks like an Arby’s roast beef sandwich!

Well I did herion for 20s yrs in n out of jail it was missable n homeless now I’m on methadone n it saved my live

Stupid.... but you don‘t know it. If you stick with it long enough, you forget everything.
More excellent points Dr. Kline. Great job! How a group of doctors can deny the fact that excruciating pain can lead to suicide makes me think there's more here than meets the eye. Let's face it. Many morally bankrupt people have done far less for money.
I know it's an epidemic and it's serious but why did she have to say that whole "you're gonna get burnt" thing at the end, talk about cringe
+SAVAGESxUSExDOGS She's trying to scare people out of it with her analogy, I don't see the problem here.
Not as cringe as fucking up your entire life!
This video is 8 years old. Is April still alive?
So, this was uploaded in May of this year, correct? She was 16 in 2010, if my math is correct. (sarcasm.) She said, "if I knew what was gonna happen, I would have never touched it." What do you mean you didn't know what was gonna happen? Multiple celebrities, both musicians & movie actors have ended up stone cold DEAD as a direct result of the very shit you're unnecessarily pumping into your veins for absolutely no reason. By the time 2010 rolled around, the affects of heroin had been fully understood and scientifically researched, etc. A wealth of knowledge & examples had been out there at that time. Don't tell me you were so brain dead at the age of 16 that you literally had NO idea what heroin was going to do to you in the long run. You get no sympathy from me. NONE. This just angers the shit out of me.
wow! I bet you invoke warmth in angels, snob. how'd you even notice a painful little video like this from so high up on that pedestal you sit upon?
alexander magill You know I was right, right? By the time 2010 rolled around, heroin was no mystery substance. Stupid bitch should have known better. It really is as simple as saying no to whoever introduces you to it. It's sort of understandable if it was in the 1960s or some shit like that. But in 2010? Get the fuck out of here with the pity party, little girl.
i was wrong....to call you a snob. bully is more appropriate....why make a right wrong scenario out of it? anyone can google statistics, bro.....when's the last time your list of facts and graphs helped out a friend of yours?...assuming you have friends, that is. do you speak so aggressively to everyone you witness in personal tragedy?
alexander magill I don't know any addicts such as this female, because I choose not to surround myself with them.
when did i mention your friends being addicts? i didn't. ooohh....i get it! now you're trolling.
20 years old? Already in and out of jail? Oh sweet girl I hope you can escape this disease before it takes you. 😭 praying she’s okay, this is quite an old video. Oh man, this hurt my hearts.
Someone help this girl!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can't help someone who doesn't want help.
Thank you April for your testimony you're a brave girl looking to get off drugs There is a solution for this epidemic, would you like to talk about it?
It's mostly mental. William S. Burroughs wrote in his book that physical addiction to heroin doesn't occur over night or from one usage. A person has to be using daily for months to become physically dependent or even feel withdrawal symptoms. He writes that mental addiction keeps a person using until they maybe acquire a physical dependance to heroin but other than that with will power most can break the habit. There is nothing forcing someone to use other than themselves and it is harsh of me to say but drugs are used too often as scapegoats for poor decisions. Have you ever stole a dollar from your moms purse to buy a candy bar? Most kids have but you can't blame the candy bar for poor judgement and the same can be said for drugs. Yes they are bad and lead to unhealthy life style choices but they don't make a thief, a killer, or a bad person out of anyone. These people choose to make those poor decisions and they are alone at fault. From personal experience I can say my friends and I that used in college held jobs, maintained grades, and never resorted to any other criminal activity during our time as users. We are sober now and it was as easy as setting a date and done. We stopped using. If you were to go to a rehab center and speak to an addict they would tell you they have been using for years daily before entering rehab because that's literally what it takes to become an addict.
+PiniataMurderer Well, William S. Buroughs did kick Junk. Many times. But he never stayed kicked for very long. He is right that physycal depencancy comes on slowly, but the rest he probably wrote during a time when he was just on booze and canabanoids before going back to his main lover, junk. He started using in this thirties and was still going strong in his eighties.. It took moving to rural Kansas to get him stable on methadone (and booze and weed.) So, take what he says about addiction with a grain of salt, and not a grain of morphine, as he did, please.
PiniataMurderer wrong my friend. Did you ever used against your will? did you ever woke up in the middle of the night and jump in your car to get your fix? You sound more of a "social" user.. When you hit a rehab center you are most closely to hit rock bottom. BTW thanks your higher power you are still alive...Is an addict an addict because he used drugs or used drugs because is an addict?
Well thank god you were able to read a book and spread your infinite knowledge on the subject. Comparing it to stealing a dollar for a candy bar from your mom....words cant describe how much of a stupid fuck you are!
PiniataMurderer I had withdrawal symptoms from using IV heroin for just 4 days. But okay.
Apparently Burroughs doesn't know jack shit, he was lying, or you are misrepresenting what he said. You can suffer physical withdrawal symptoms after just 3 or 4 days of using lightly. What you said is not harsh, it is ignorant and lazy thinking. period.
My friend's son died of taking heroin. Was found dead in his car with a needle in his arm. He was in rehab 3 times. He was a great kid.
She was beautiful. Very sad to see this horrible drug rising in popularity.
I want an update on her I hope she’s doing okay. Or is at least still alive, what was her whole name?
Shes sober now. And doing great. I know her personally
She's so smart but here she is. So sad
This honestly heartbreaking....just the pain in her voice was hard to listen to.
Being high on heroin does not last for mins.... More like hours.
Yes I was thinking this too. People don't usually get dope sick in just a couple of hours either. It generally takes the body around 12 hours to process all the heroin even if your not high. It's when the body is heroin free the dope sickness starts.
WhiteLiteBarbie THE RUSH only lasts a couple mins MAX. The after affects last much longer
All of this matters about how much of a habit you have. You can't say "oh well this amount will give you this much time." When I started out sniffing, a bag would have me droolin' for 4+ hours, and that's drooling. I'd feel fucked up for upwards of 8 hours. Eventually, about 2 years down the road, I'd need 6 bags to just not be sick. You don't really feel anything from the dope, just the fact that you don't feel like you have full blown flu. 10 bags would get me a nod at that point, but I'd usually just end up going to bed because I'd just finished a 16hr day of work to support my habit and pay rent.
+SirUncleCid bruh there aint no way you gotta do more than half a gram just to be okay
That's if you can assume all bags are ~.1g and can also assume their purity. I'm guessing you were there when I was stirring up though..
I have been clean since august and honestly I been doing good no meds or anything I’m doing it all sober and I feel amazing after I did methadone to get off dope once the withdraw from the methadone kicked in it showed me to never go back was the worst experience ever plus when I lefted from rehab so many close friends died it showed me that drugs is just another way of playing rush and rullet with ur life.... if u need help seek it ppl are there to help and many of them been ur that position...
A heroin high lasts hours, not minutes, right? what?
Yeah, several hours bud, £20 worth can do you half a day roughly but depending how strong the stuff is you may need it sooner than usual! Over here in the UK Heroin is roughly around 8 - 15% pure, where as back at the turn of the century it was double this strength-wise!,...roughly 20 - 35%! Then of course you can get "burned",..ripped off, sold a bag of chalk dust etc or Heroin thats been cut down to almost no strength what-so-ever!
Also the longer you use the higher your tolerance goes which is why a long-term addict needs more N more to get stoned! TBH its that old manta,.."How long is a piece of string",...Hope this bit of info helps some dude?
dukeswhiteshark Sounds like you're speaking from experience, you need some help man?
Hi man, thanks 4 your concern dude!!,..Much appreciated indeed man! I regret to inform i am speaking from experience dude, im in the midst of "Experience" at the mo & in a bit of a mess bud! But its up to my stoopid self to pick myself back up & get on with a more positive lifestyle bro. Its a hard habit to kick, ive been clean before, for several years too, was running almost 13 miles per day, going fishing 2-3 times a week & mountain biking etc, but after years of cleanliness i took a "wrong turn",..again. There were several factors in life that hit me hard, a few close family deaths got me really down, but this is no excuse, although every addict has a "cop-out" to why they use or relapse TBH bro!! Also being on your own at this time of the year aint too nice, so theirs another "excuse" to use, i just hope i can get back to my running & non-using lifestyle as i did feel so much more positive about daily life matey!
Again i sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for your concern bro, the little things do matter man!! I hope you & yours have a fantastic Xmas & New Year man,...Regards from Scotland, UK! x
I've never done drugs never will but after a few hits or whatever you call it does an addict actually enjoy the drug like they did when they first tried it? or do they just form a dependence but they don't enjoy it as much as their first time.
they all sound the same something in the voice
Dope voice
Too many addicts start off by looking for excitement, if they only knew how predictable life is chasing the high.
That's sucks. And this goes for all drugs even weed. I don't care what you UA-cam people say. I personally know people who can't quit weed.
what about alcohol?
+Sean Mckeever or coffee?
+Sean Mckeever alcohol and coffee are horrible too.
+mazE187 you've never seen people steal money from people for weed? I have. And I have also seen familys get torn apart over weed.
+rachel osoiro That's because they enjoy it don't want to quit weed even if they say they do.... It's different with morphine type drugs because unless the person is 100% committed to quitting then they will NOT be able to cos of the withdrawals. If there is a shred of doubt then the person will fall right back into it..... They may genuinely have a desire to quit but the fear of withdrawal is usually stronger than the desire to quit.... Marijuana is different. If the person makes the decision to quit, there isn't much to stop him or her, except perhaps a little trouble falling asleep.
Weed is far less evil than morphine. Quitting it wont make you shiver, sweat and shit out liquids for a week..... I speak from experience like you probably do, I've been addicted to weed (17-21), morphine (23-28), alcohol on and off, cigarettes (17-27) and even ecstasy when I was 20 and dexamphetamine but I'm clean now.
Scary... it seems like no matter how well a chld is brought up (great parents, family, school, etc) if they meet friends or significant other who has drugs available and decide to give something a try, they can become addicted. IMO it's about environment... if people around you are doing any drugs, there is a greater likelihood of someone around you doing hard drugs and the ability to try that now exists.
I would date her. Just because you are addicted to heroin doesn't mean you're a bad person.
No but your life wont get any better...
TheBestMovieAlive don't ever leave her alone in your house..
TheBestMovieAlive She'd probably do some things for a 10$ ;)
+TheBestMovieAlive well she's HOT, oh yeah. reminds me of kendra from playboy girls next door.
+TheBestMovieAlive So true.
Where is she in 2022?
it's always the pretty girls that fall addicted to drugs.... Why ?
Allen Tapanes dealers hook the pretty girls because they are easier to pimp
valkor73 whites aka crack head
I'm thinking its also because society babies women
No, the only thing is that tv shows only care to show pretty girls.
Bad guys like pretty girls
She is brave to come forward and warn people. My fear for her is someone putting fentanyl in her drugs and accidentally overdosing. I pray for her to find strength to quit.
such a cute and smart young lady... Breaks my heart to see that. Nobody deserves the death sentence hard drugs are...
if she was "smart" then she wouldn't use heroin until she was retired.
but only you coudlt change babaaaaay .. God is with you always
It's sad, because she is pretty
So if she was 'ugly' you wouldn't care? Ooooooooo
Only way to get off heroin is to die💉😲
+KurtSandford made my day lol.
kursandford piece of shit
Wait I know this may sound stupid but I read that withdrawal from heroin lasts only about 10 days and it doesn't have any lasting damage like withdrawal from krokodil which also lasts about a month and is a lot more painful and leaves people with lasting effects. so does that mean that theoretically if a person gathered up all their will power and quit cold turkey and then kept themselves busy with something they loved other than drugs could they kick their habit?
The short answer is it depends on the individual.
Longer answer, there is physical dependence and there is addiction. Once the acute withdrawal has passed, depending on doses used, length of use, and age of first use, many people go on to have post-acute withdrawal symptoms for months or longer. But, even once the dependence is broken, the psychological addiction remains. Addicts often don't know any other way to deal with stress or anxiety. They may be surrounded by things that will remind them of using. And, they may have been using heroin to deal with real pain, physical or emotional. That pain will come back.
A dear friend of mine is killing herself with this stuff. Heroin is only one of her problems. It is what she uses to cope with her underlying problem, her self-hatred. However, at this point, heroin has become by far her biggest problem, if that makes any sense. She has detoxed plenty of times but she continues to relapse because she doesn't want to face the pain inside her. In her case it is not simply a matter of willpower. She has to either face her demons or spend whatever remains of her life running from them.
Not all addicts fit this profile. However, in my experience, nearly all of the really bad addicts come from extremely dysfunctional families and/or have had major trauma in their lives.
+the Bizud well n truely sed sir your comment hits the nail right on the head
+Jason Clark oh yes jason i can relate to your comment im exactly in the same position 23 yers for me its horrible i no xxx
+Jason Clark same here jason i wud love to always nice to talk to someone whose been their cos u understand jason xxx
im going to try to answer this. ideally, yes but the physical and mental pain is so real and awful that that person would have to have the mind over matter game of an extraterrestrial.
Watching this as I snort a half bun lol
I’m in recovery right now for heroin and I’m only 15, been using since I was 12. It ruined my life
She could get the pipe tho
Board & Tumble Lol!!

@@pulaskishayblock Unfortunately most men don't have standards
Do you really think that there’s nothing better in the world than being high? I just don’t understand how this is so addicting.
It’s a mental disease so that’s why you don’t understand.
Well technically drugs like heroin and meth put off more euphoria than the human brain should be allowed to feel. So it’s hard for addicts to live knowing there’s a happiness they can feel far greater then you could ever have sober
As she uses her cry cry voice i saw zero tears. idk, smh j~
jerickzane seemed pretty fake to me too.
jerickzane.. She might feel dead inside...
jerickzane you think this is a joke? No wounder so many of you young people get hooked. You have no idea what your talking about. idk you right. i do know.
You reckon they paid her fof the interview then she smacked it up?
exactly
I watched somebody died of a heroin overdose this is how it went down my brother in law was a user he was found in the bathroom in 2006 purple in color and not breathing he didn't even get the needle out of his arm an ambulance was called and he was rushed to an emergency room where are they got him on a ventilator and started running test he was in a coma the next day all the test results came back and it showed that he had very sporadic brain activity and the family was told if he survived he would be a vegetable so my sister had to make the choice to have him removed from life support they pulled the ventilator tube and he continued to breathe on his own for about 6 hours as his lungs slowly filled with fluid and his breath got shorter and shorter it was a horrible noise almost like I cross between a snore and moaning until he took his last breath the entire family was in his room and his father was holding his hand his mother was there too
her last name is erion. 😂😂lmao ironic
How do you compare heroin and percocet?
I know they're probably nothing a like but I'm wondering how the high feels.
Its more intense and instant... if u iv oxy then about the same but wds r worse and come on quicker... it will destroy u tho. 3 years iv oxy nobody knew... 3 mos on H and everybody knew. Thank God for methadone. I know a lot of people hate it but if it werent for it, I would be dead. Seriously.
Smoke Weed Every Day
Yeah, because daily (recreational) weed smokers tend to be highly successful in their given careers, right? Perhaps someday, you’ll graduate past the emotional intelligence of your average five year old.
Source?
my 19 year old sis got out after being in prison and did heroin the first week she was out even though she was on probation and got randomly drug tested. i was so angry with her. part of me keeps saying why cant see just enjoy life? shes done it all to get high too. ive found hotel cards in her room etc. its sad. its sickening.
Addiction sucks. Its so hard to kick
kushdaddy144 yeah. she just got sentenced last week and is going back to prison for a full year again for failing her drug test. shes safer in there though then being out on the streets
Nunya Stieger Nope. You do know you can get heroin in prison right? She will be worse since now she has a criminal record so she is going to have a harder time trying to find a job once she is out. She will lose motivation in life again and go back to shooting up.
she's an actress. no junkie talks this way, its scripted.
+David Rattigan.
naaaa listen to her voice, shes doped out for sure
Dude, look at her!
Look at her track marks....You can't fabricate that!
wtf man she's got arms like a race track. I've known a few heroin addicts, she's fits the mold
David Rattigan. My thoughts exactly😂 scripted bad acting!
All she needs is 50ml methadone a day for 3weeks then send her far away for 6months to rehab. she needs to leave that area for a long while then get a job and meet new non drug addicted people and stick with them slowly she will get back to normal.
Bullshit - anyone with enough motivation can give up heroin.
Basic study of brain biology and neurochemistry differs from your opinion, but I see where you're coming from.
I take it you've never abused opioids?
You know that feeling right at the point of orgasm? Times that feeling by 20 and realize the duration of peak lasts 20-30 minutes with an overall high of 3-4 hours and you should get the point...
It's not like quitting coffee or weed.
Your brain's "reward pathway" that tells you to seek food, sex, rewarding careers and family is completely hijacked to the point that nothing but opioids can make you feel "rewarded". Life seems so dull, grey and lifeless without it. It's not about willpower at all... They run back to it because after that much alteration to brain chemistry it takes 1-2 years to completely return to baseline. Withdrawal may be over in 5-10 days, but PAWS can last up to a year or more.
All the more reason to never try it, it really is THAT good...
Light is greater than darkness
No shit. Been there, done that. Grew a pair of and stopped doing it. No sweat.
You never know until you walk in someone's shoes. I pray this never happens to any of you ignorant people or your children. That's someone's daughter you're judging. I hope she gets the help she needs and takes it one day at a time ❤🙏🏼
shes silly for using opiates before retirement.
