I’m Sarah’s cousin. I grew up with her. To those commenting saying she is intelligent, kind, and hope to get clean thank you. My whole family has tried to help Sarah and she went missing in 2019. We looked for years. To see this after having no contact I can’t even describe in words. I hope she is alive if anyone can get in contact with her tell her to call her cousin Kendall. We will try to help her when she is ready I don’t want to lose her. I really don’t.
Yesterday I delivered your message and several other positive comments from others, mostly her family, I found on this webpage. She was moved and appreciated them.
That's amazing. I'd love to meet and talk to this woman . I'm here age and 18 months clean from fentanyl and crack/meth.. and holy hell I have a lot in common with her. Even struggling, this girl is a beacon of hope @@antoniomorton6200
Hopefully youre sincere, I know you may be but, a lot of people are running from their narcissistic families where they were a scapegoat. I obviously have no idea if thats the case here but, narcissists abuse their children in covert ways and many times thats why they end up like this, the families then play the victim and pretend to be so concerned but have so many restrictions and so little understanding of themselves let alone their kids. I realize youre here cousin and very unlikely her abuser, if there one was one or two. The families function like this dysfunctional system, no self reflection, no honesty, all propaganda. Narcissists to need to get supply and sadly from their own children. Sara Knows what happened, drugs can be horrible but, they also can give massive insight, that may need to be sorted out later. Again not saying this si the case, some people just get caught but, the amount of children going no contact with their families today is an epidemic and the families all play the victim card and continue to abuse and neglect their kids. . Im sure you know the real story, its just whether you can acknowledge or not yourself because the epidemic before the epidemic is the massive amount of narcissistic abuse in families in the west. The whole system is toxic and we are raising children to be narcissists and those who arent suffer immensely. Something to be aware of.
Man! This breaks my heart. Sara, we used to hang out at the warehouse in Soma in like 2011. I heard that you disappeared so in a way it's a relief to see you on here. If you ever read this, know that it's not too late. You're right about a lot in this interview. You've always been a kind and giving person. I couldn't possibly think of a negative thing to say about you. Addiction is complicated and it can be tough to see a way out but you can do it. Even though you've been through so much and kicking substance is an uphill battle, give yourself the gift of taking that first step. Then gather all of your strength to take another step after that. Don't be hard on yourself. You deserve so much better.
@@apaaaa So many people who talk to Mark are there because their childhoods have been horrendous. Sara is right, there should be clinics, doctors, all kinds of help but sadly there isn’t. Like you I hope Sara makes it out of there.
@@rhonda6791 there are these things. She has free Healthcare. All jobless ppl get free insurance. Coverage varies state to state. Cali us probably the most friendly toward the jobless.
She is so much more than a fentanyl & crack addict.. she has really good ideas and insight, she could contribute alot to society, I pray Sarah finds her way and gets what she needs to be happy.
Here's the thing - most addicts do. There is a stereotype that addicts are losers, lazy, stupid and worthless, but all of that is not true. I was an addict once - not crazy, but I had a run at crack for a couple month and then became an alcoholic for years. The most damaging thing you can do to an addict (of any kind) is tell them how wasteful they are being with themselves as a resource. That just furthers the spiral and it is generally the first thing family and friends will tell an addict and why they push them away. "You're so smart - why are you wasting it on this stupid crap?" - Thank you - I feel so much better about myself now. 🙄 It's the same as what our society does with addicts - they get out of jail or prison, clean and sober and then are immediately told they are scum for having that record and are nothing but a junkie. Where does one turn to then? The only friend they had that ALWAYS makes them feel better. It is a sad spiral and I honestly believe some of the greatest minds humanity has ever known have become addicts. Great vision and wisdom can be a burden that some cannot deal with. And without proper understanding and help, it can simply be too much. So, they seek solace in the one thing that always delivers. Which brings me to another point - we need to stop lying to people, particularly children. First, alcohol is a drug and has the potential to be just as damaging as all the rest. Second, drugs make you feel amazing. They do! It is their design. Stop only telling the negative side of drug and include the great things about them as well. Third, how drug users are perceived as I said at the start of this. I love documentaries like this that actually show intelligent, rational, nice people who have addiction issues. Don't just show the extreme cases and the worst of the worst. Be honest! Most of the great music of the twentieth century into today was brought about by someone on drugs who had a groundbreaking idea! Why can't we just be truthful and acknowledge that?
Sarah, this is Alissa. Your seizures might have been strokes. I had a stroke two months ago. Thank you for taking care of me while I was in my psychosis, I wish we had had a more meaningful experience last time we saw each other but I was in such a reduced state and deep in psychosis, like I was sure people were controlling my body with pulses or some shit. Go to the ER to see about if you stroked out. Does your face feel paralyzed at all? Mine does, it's awful. Dylan thinks you look just the same and as beautiful. He says the same to me though, he's just one of those. Kdn sent it to dyl who sent it to me, and I was mind blown. You made an impact with what you said about harm reduction though. You're still so sharp. The strokeshave dulled me. It's my birthday today, and yours was so recent. I hope it was good. I love you ♥️
My friend felt like she couldn’t think or express things as well, after her stroke from speed. She has got so many back in recovery, and working with specialists, but most of all working with people like us. She is speaking and facilitating meetings, and she made a big impact on me in my early recovery. Keep trying, because I think you’re capacity of so much. You made a lot of sense to me! I think Sarah does look beautiful and carries herself well. I would never have guessed she was in active addictions or on the streets, but I’m not surprised, either. There are a lot of beautiful people out there, who deserve so much more. I agree with her about the need for services. Just because there are services, that doesn’t mean they’re as effective as they could be for everyone. It’s exciting how far we have come, in supporting people in addiction and early recovery, but we still have a ways to go. Hope you’re doing well these days, and I hope Sarah keeps reaching out for understanding and support. I believe anyone can recover. ❤
I went to school with her. She used to be so beautiful. She is still beautiful on the inside but she needs to get her life straightened out. I wish her all the love and happiness and success that life can bring.
She looks so much like my mother when she was younger. My mother died at 57… on her 57th birthday. In a hospital ICU tied to a bed because she was in severe withdrawal and had sepsis and multiple organ failure. Her body blew up with fluid from her failing heart and liver / kidneys. She was so so miserable. Please get help if you’re struggling with addiction. You can make it out. And someone like me loves the fuck outta you. I’ve been sober 6 years from opiates. It’s not easy but it’s possible.
That's the realest thing you can say and NOT ALOT CAN DENY that it "is not easy but it IS POSSIBLE!!!" How powerful, how brave, how willing 💛🫂❤️🩹 People all around the world need to believe in that one sentence more, we'd all be better off 🙏🏽 🙌🏾
It’s heartbreaking that they couldn’t make her comfortable as her organs were shutting down. Instead they put them in restraints. They did the same thing to my friend Bobby. His liver failed. And he passed.
I hadn’t heard from my sister for years before she overdosed on Fentanyl because she felt the same way you do about reaching out to family. Please, talk to them. I promise it hurts more for both you and them when they don’t know how you’re doing💛
Although short I really enjoyed this one. This woman is smart, caring, and has many other positive qualities about her. She still has the ability mentally, physically, etc. to break free from the life she is living now and to make something of herself that she would be proud of. I wish her well.
Sarah - I would love to talk to you again. I miss you so much and am so thankful to see you for the first time in so long. You are such a beautiful, strong soul. Please reach out if you ever see this. Love you cousin.
What glorious hair on this woman. Love it! I pray you can find a way out. Very intelligent, I pray you can fight those demons and prosper in life. Life can be really beautiful without drugs.
I feel her pain. I was strung out in the L for about 2-3 years. I was fine with just the opiates but when I mixed crack into the game that's what brought me down. I didn't understand that cocaine destroys your opiate receptors causing your body to go into withdrawal meaning you go through about twice the amount of opiate you normally would. Quiting coke was the first step towards treatment. Once I got a hold of myself I entered a methadone program. This was in 2008. I am still in it today. It saved my life, I was able to clean up, get a job, get married, have a home. I am no longer in CA due to the current situation with crime, politics, cost of living. I moved out of there in 2011 to Nevada. Best decision I ever made. I had to remove myself from that situation otherwise I would have fell back into it. Sara is strong because she's going through the 2nd opiate crisis, the Fentanyl one. I was part of the Oxycontin one. I don't think I would have survived this one. I am pulling for you Sara. Get into the methadone program on 6th Street. It's a start! They will help you. God bless and good luck.
You're such a beautiful soul Sara! So intelligent, switched on, aware. You got this sister! You have so much to offer the world. Praying you get off the gear and share your gifts xx
I met you in Pleasanton. I would be honored to help you out anyway I can. I was the night physician at valley Care ER. Please find me. Fate can be funny sometimes.
She reminds of the girl from the movie The Butterfly Effect when she all messed up on drugs …. You Deserve to live happy girly…Your testimony can help many many people struggling with addiction.You are ❤❤❤❤ D.
"I'm very fearful of dying in a bathroom somewhere..." It's because of individuals like Sara that I carry Narcan in my truck. We can only hope that when (not if) Sara overdoses again, someone is able to save her. When ready, please begin the journey into becoming clean, Sara. Not everyone carries Narcan...
The San Francisco, socio-political issues for disenfranchised people, as you Sara are a huge factor for your struggles. The book San Francisko clearly reflects the deplorable ways the government sees and uses human as capital. Wishing you the appropriate resources for your beautiful, smart and kind self 🧚🏾♂️. Thanks for sharing your experience and learned lessons.
I think she looks her age you can tell she's young but drugs tend to create certain lines and physical characteristics as a consequence that certainly don't help hey. Everyone's different too, some people's genes are so forgiving. If she got clean that would improve immensely. The heavy black eye makeup doesn't help haha. But she's beautiful.
Yeh she cute. in regards to the eye makeup- when living rough I've seen women just kind of put makeup on yesterday's make up so this is what is probably going on here. Wet wipes as essential not only for the backside! Any chance you get for a bird bath should be done. I've often washed up in cafe toilets or airport toilets for example. Always did it quick so nobody would see lol had one favourite spot where the sink was in the toilet cubicle. Perfect opportunity to soak my hands in hot water because if you don't do that regular and clean with tools after you end up with hands like hers. She still young and has potential @@WhatTheDickens92
I forgot what "Rebecca's" real name is or I would be using that name, but he has something to offer alright. Exposing his privates in public probably where children can see, and terrifying everyone around him with his psychosis rambling.
Agree. This woman has potential. Rebecca, on the other hand, does not want to get clean. Rebecca is committed to being stoned. This woman sees beyond that. Please keep praying for her, folks. Prayers always help. God Bless her.
man i never got hooked on the fent but my brother is currently battling it so hard he is on MAT treatment but still using it’s a hard beast to tame i have been clean 6 years almost now but took me relapse 2 times to get it straight this time i feel for these people so bad! its all about building a stable life job home car if lucky and routine! i love for myself now before id do it for others i love myself first and that keeps me driving daily!
I feel So lucky that in my time using that I never got hooked on it. And that I never accidentally overdosed from it. I didn’t even realize how prevalent fentanyl was where I’m from until years after I got sober. I’ve been sober 6 years too. So happy for you. ❤
Her lesson is literally " peer pressure is a &itch". No childhood trauma,abuse,emotional voids. Just bad influence. You can parent and provide well, and your child could still ruin their entire lives behind bad friends that were actual victims of bad parenting.🤯
I would also probably factor in that she clearly has the addiction gene. So it could have been jump started by shitty peers or even a doctor giving her painkillers for wisdom tooth removal. I’m 35 and I have every single reason I can think of to be her right now. Luckily I am 6 years clean from opiates. ( doctor prescribed painkillers in my case ) But gosh if we have the gene it gets us all.
She really didn’t speak of her childhood, or what her home life was like growing up. Saying she grew up in an upper middle class family and was subjected to peer pressure doesn’t really tell us much.
This is something people don't realize and they blame it on parents who have loved their children and had big dreams for them and then life itself takes them. I get this so I feel bad for all those parents that have done their best only to have that child totally devastate the parents world and devastated their dreams for that child. For those parents that tried so hard and your heart's are hurting know that I think about you and send you so much love. Your child has just seen so much world trauma that they can't handle.I pray for the parents and the children. This world is hard for most. KNOW that I feel for both sides .🫂💔😥❤️🩹🙏😊
@@erica1139 Mexican brothel workers don't feel sorry for her. The parents failed but that doesn't mean they were bad parents. Personal choice, society and culture along with chance. Lots if things at play but Personal responsibility is the only way out. U can't blame trauma. Trauma is an excuse to get high. Ppl are dying quick. Tuff love is true understanding. Kid gloves clearly aren't working. San Fran has proven that. Babying addicts is not helping and time is running out for all of them.
She seems truly genuine and nice person with so much potential. It's really hard to see when people just stuck in the loop and can't get out of this lifestyle. It's truly heartbreaking, cause you can say some people genuinely want to change, want to become better, but it's some inner problems that stop them, like self worth or some other trauma. I've seen many interviews on this channel and many people claimed that they wanna change but I just didn't see that in their eyes , those were just words, but I can tell she really wants to be better and I hope she will find some psychiatrist to work on her mental problems and afterwards she will be able to take steps towards better life for herself to become a great designer, good mom and to be loved by her partner and kids. Wish her all the best
Sara you are so very insightful. I think you have alot of great points. Reach out to your family and get your life back. Your voice is so powerful, get clean and use what you have learned to make a difference, if you choose. You are a walking miracle with a good mind, use it.
I relate to your story SO MUCH. We are close in age(I’m 38), same music scene (only east coast for me) and I was a college student and a “functioning addict” (heroin) for a big part of my teens/20s. I’ve been clean for almost 10 years now. I work in mental health with youth and it’s so rewarding. You seem so intelligent and compassionate, I hope you see that in yourself ❤
Keep goin! You are kickin ass n takin names. I'm at 10 mos and I've got my brain back. I can't believe how much of life i was unaware of while using. I'm glad I only had 2 yrs of that hell. I did 2 yrs of h and then went to fetty. It's the worst drug out there, it's affordable and easy to come by. I'm now carrying Narcan in my truck bc so many ppl are overdosing and I know Narcan can save your life. If I had teens I'd keep Narcan at home. I am so much happier clean. If the the drug itself doesn't take you out, the overwhelming guilt, paranoia, shame, embarrassment and rapidly diminishing sense of self-worth will ruin you. I hope for all the best to all addicts and encourage you all to get help, get clean, and start living again. You wont ever regret being able to beat this addiction, it's the best feeling in the world to get to reclaim youself and stop letting the drug do you. Help and love others as well as yourself. We are all of the same consciousness.
Sarah, you've got this! We need more people like you in this world. Please know that you are loved, wanted, and have the ability to get clean and live the life of your dreams!
Sara, you’re incredible. You can escape this hellish loop of addiction and shame and avoidance, and you can build a better life for yourself. START NOW. You will look back at your courageous self in five years and be so overwhelmingly thankful you did the hard thing that seemed impossible to achieve, but you have the mind and you have the fight and you need to make it happen - do whatever it takes to make it start now even if it’s terrifying. It will never be as terrifying as the regret you will live through if you don’t do it. You are an authentic, intuitive woman.
Oh man....I feel so hard for her. I was addict for 15 years shooting dope and grew up as crust punk kid and man....i just hope she gets clean and can find a way to express her creativity and kindness to the world because the world needs it now more than ever. So heartbreaking. Sending love
Sounds like fun 😀..... waking up at your place at 2pm... low key stealing from u... lying about job applications.... disappearing from ur place and returning with fantastical stories
Her hands tell the story of chronic ill health. I hate this evil, sick world. She could be a beautiful, vibrant, healthy young woman, but she chooses destruction. So tragic.
Her hands look like most fent users hands. It’s very common. It eats their limbs. Hands/arms/feet/legs. The drug literally eats it away. Swelling then, sores, then open wounds, then amputation. VERY common.
She looks so cool, I absolutely love her rock chick style! She's sassy and one of the most intelligent, well spoken person I've heard in a long time! She really knows what she's talking about and it's people like her we need doing politics. I'd love to see her clean because she could do do much amazing for both animals and people. She has a great sense of style and I can totally see her having artistic skills. She most likely has a lot to offer in that department, too. She reminds me of a mix of Kate Moss and Janis Joplin. That hair is absolutely amazing! Is that real hair and not wig or extensions? I wish I had thick hair like that! Most of these addicts look so clean, nice clothes and well kept compared to the addicts I've seen and known. They also often sound so normal compared to the people I've met who are doing nothing than nodding.
Sara is full of substance and made a lot of great points! I hope she sees better days and seeks the help she needs. There’s a whole life out there for her to live. I don’t know her at all but something tells me she’s got a lot more to give and deserves so much better than this. Hopefully she finds it in herself to want more out of her life.
Sarah your story is incredible. I really hope you can get out of this current situation and realize more of your potential. I would love to see your art. Best wishes and kindest thoughts….
Gosh I really REALLY hold out hope for Sara. I’d love to see an update video a year later when she’s got her life back on track, because she has so much to offer. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I’m a cop. Sarah isn’t a bad person. She’s just trapped in a situation that she can’t escape. I can tell that she’s funny, she’s intelligent, and honestly cares about others. This drug is extremely hard to break and I hope and pray she finds her path to success.
Sara has so much potential. I wish she saw it. Sara if you’re reading this, you do have the potential, just let go of this hold. It’s a scary thought, but you can do this. You can overcome it. You are soooo worthy.. 🦋
Sara if you're reading this, it's not too late. You can make it out of this, you're so self aware and i can see the smart, creative self pushing and fighting through your struggles... You're stronger than you think 💪
I'm at work, so can't watch the whole thing yet, but I liked that she somewhat owned up. She said that it was her choice to do it. That's a huge step. I know from personal experience. Yes, I broke my collar bone, and in my case the drugs were supplied by the doctor in the beginning. When I got taken off, I could have asked my family for help, but I didn't. I chose to hide it, and seek out the street. Learned what all opiates were out there, and was on heroin/fent and others for about six years. One can't keep blaming other people and events for their position in life and expect it to be fixed. Hope she can get help and get into recovery.
I pray for you Sarah you have touched so many lives I can see in the comments you are so loved and such a gift I’m sorry for the tragedies you have lived through I wish I could take the pain away ❤ sending you love and healing abundance and a huge hug !
Hi Sara💕 have you heard of Punks With Lunch in Oakland? An amazing group who do boots on the ground harm reduction and much more. Sending you lots of love💕
Many people associate being smart or brilliant with them having the know-how of staying away from drugs, gambling and alcohol. They will self destruct the same way anyone else would. Addiction doesn't discriminate against the smart, beautiful, or the youth. It takes the lives of people who are curious to consume it.
I can hear her addiction speaking when she talks about her experience with the brain damage she's experienced, saying it's the foil and lack of sleep. Hope she can use the knowledge of how much these drugs are killing her will help her get out of this cycle. I know she's afraid to die this way. I hope the best for you and we know you can get out of this.
I hope this woman watches this video and has enough vanity to overcome her addiction and salvage her looks, that are in decline, by getting clean. I don’t say this to be mean, but to be a voice of honesty. It is a superficial reason to wake up, but an indication of the deeper and much more serious illness that is chipping away at her, not with a butter knife but a hacksaw. I will keep her in my heart and imagine she gets her way out of this hole she is in. Intelligence can work against many of us by finding rationals to continue a life that has no joy. Yes, you don’t have to be drug addicted to be in deep misery. Just look around, but this kind of nervous system dis-regulation is a road to misery.
I hope she gets clean and becomes a part of the solutions she talks about. She could help a lot of people. I bet she’s someone when she clean that others would open up to. ❤
People are just people. I want to share my story and I think your platform is perfect. It’s raw and honest. That’s what the world needs more of. I had a horrible childhood, and have been trying to break generational bullshit. but American wealth and denial is too strong.
Crack is a terrifying addiction. When in the grips you really can't stop. It doesn't keep you high long so it's relentless. I will never forget and my heart goes out to her.
Sara seems like a sweet woman. Wishing her the best and that people stop taking her sketchbooks! Art can keep a soul going. I love that she hold on to her dreams.
I am an addict as well just on a methadone program which helps me function in society and i can finally hold down a job after years running in circles selling dru4s n things of that sort so I completely agree with Sara we are our own biggest enemy its like we have a death wish just like a slow acting suicide
Mark, I think that what you are doing is amazing. Bringing the darkness to the light. My hope is that we, humanity, can find solutions for all of our broken. I've heard your views. And, I agree. There are soooo many layers to peel before even getting to the hurt and pain. I think we have failed as a society and country. These people matter so much. Your channel inspires me to reach out to my neighbors, my community, schools, the homeless, addicts.... Thank you for working so hard.
Sara, you are a different kind of interviewee, you are so articulate, and you really come across as having your shit together. I think you are more than you give yourself credit for. If anyone can turn this situation around I THINK IT CAN BE YOU.
Couldn’t get through this one. I’m so sorry. Like my daughter who, at 22, had everything life had to offer yet she chose to hang herself in her walk-in closet?! Still angry about this & my daughter, & she, have a choice. My 💔 is broken. No remedy & none for her until “she gets it”.
She doesn't even want to say it out loud that she's selling herself. She's not for that life. Addiction can enter anyone's life and cause havoc. I hope she can get out and use her education to help others.
Sara seems like a nice person. I am hopeful that she can leave that life, You can see she wants something better. Please update her interviews, I want very much to see her again well.
I think I’ve seen her on tales from the streets and she wasn’t making any sense, here she is articulate and so smart. I can’t imagine how much potential she’ll have if she’s sober one day. Rooting for her.
Thank you for sharing your story. Addiction doesn't discriminate. I hope you accept help. You have so much life to live. Wishing you peace and sobriety.
Sara, you are incredibly intelligent and introspective. I hope this stage of your life is temporary so you can truly pursue your passion. And can we acknowledge that beautiful thick hair? 😊
Wow I hope you get the treatment you need and the want to get clean soon. The world needs you. You are an intelligent articulate person who could have such a positive impact on the world. I wish you the best of luck ❤️
Sara has what it takes to fix her life! I don't know why I feel it, but she's intelligent, wise, creative, smart, and pretty "with it". She's in my prayers ❤
I'm in NA and it sounds like she's at the end of learning what she originally sought to seek--- the reality of it. She still in some denial... but the 12-Steps are amazing at cleaning up our past, helping us to heal, and dumping all that shame and guilt she can't talk about. She can help others... use her deficits as benefits. A friend once told me..."Whatever you use to comfort the stresses of the day, is your God"... have a false god and you have Hell in your life. Time to stop rebelling. She's an adult now. Time to start building UP HER life. Adolescence is over. After 2 years clean and sober I became a Substance Abuse Counselor. Kept me sober and raised my self-esteem.
I’m Sarah’s cousin. I grew up with her. To those commenting saying she is intelligent, kind, and hope to get clean thank you. My whole family has tried to help Sarah and she went missing in 2019. We looked for years. To see this after having no contact I can’t even describe in words. I hope she is alive if anyone can get in contact with her tell her to call her cousin Kendall. We will try to help her when she is ready I don’t want to lose her. I really don’t.
I know where she is. I'll see that she gets your message

Here's the thing - most addicts do. There is a stereotype that addicts are losers, lazy, stupid and worthless, but all of that is not true. I was an addict once - not crazy, but I had a run at crack for a couple month and then became an alcoholic for years. The most damaging thing you can do to an addict (of any kind) is tell them how wasteful they are being with themselves as a resource. That just furthers the spiral and it is generally the first thing family and friends will tell an addict and why they push them away. "You're so smart - why are you wasting it on this stupid crap?" - Thank you - I feel so much better about myself now. 🙄
It's the same as what our society does with addicts - they get out of jail or prison, clean and sober and then are immediately told they are scum for having that record and are nothing but a junkie. Where does one turn to then? The only friend they had that ALWAYS makes them feel better. It is a sad spiral and I honestly believe some of the greatest minds humanity has ever known have become addicts.
Great vision and wisdom can be a burden that some cannot deal with. And without proper understanding and help, it can simply be too much. So, they seek solace in the one thing that always delivers.
Which brings me to another point - we need to stop lying to people, particularly children. First, alcohol is a drug and has the potential to be just as damaging as all the rest. Second, drugs make you feel amazing. They do! It is their design. Stop only telling the negative side of drug and include the great things about them as well. Third, how drug users are perceived as I said at the start of this. I love documentaries like this that actually show intelligent, rational, nice people who have addiction issues. Don't just show the extreme cases and the worst of the worst. Be honest! Most of the great music of the twentieth century into today was brought about by someone on drugs who had a groundbreaking idea! Why can't we just be truthful and acknowledge that?
@@zvotaisvfi8678 🤣🤣🤣That’s hilarious!
Sarah, this is Alissa. Your seizures might have been strokes. I had a stroke two months ago. Thank you for taking care of me while I was in my psychosis, I wish we had had a more meaningful experience last time we saw each other but I was in such a reduced state and deep in psychosis, like I was sure people were controlling my body with pulses or some shit. Go to the ER to see about if you stroked out. Does your face feel paralyzed at all? Mine does, it's awful. Dylan thinks you look just the same and as beautiful. He says the same to me though, he's just one of those. Kdn sent it to dyl who sent it to me, and I was mind blown. You made an impact with what you said about harm reduction though. You're still so sharp. The strokeshave dulled me. It's my birthday today, and yours was so recent. I hope it was good. I love you ♥️
My friend felt like she couldn’t think or express things as well, after her stroke from speed. She has got so many back in recovery, and working with specialists, but most of all working with people like us. She is speaking and facilitating meetings, and she made a big impact on me in my early recovery. Keep trying, because I think you’re capacity of so much. You made a lot of sense to me! I think Sarah does look beautiful and carries herself well. I would never have guessed she was in active addictions or on the streets, but I’m not surprised, either. There are a lot of beautiful people out there, who deserve so much more. I agree with her about the need for services. Just because there are services, that doesn’t mean they’re as effective as they could be for everyone. It’s exciting how far we have come, in supporting people in addiction and early recovery, but we still have a ways to go. Hope you’re doing well these days, and I hope Sarah keeps reaching out for understanding and support. I believe anyone can recover. ❤
Alissa! ❤❤❤
Happy belated birthday Alissa. I’m sorry you’re going through so many health issues. Tell Dylan and Kdn I said hi. Miss you guys. -Garth
@beefknuckles so glad to hear from you. I'm doing good now. I hope you're doing well. I'll find you on social media or something ♥️
Sara, you are smart and articulate, you deserve more than the life you’re living. Ps I loooove your hair, it’s gorgeous 🌸
@simoneware1193-You are also gorgeous.
I went to school with her. She used to be so beautiful. She is still beautiful on the inside but she needs to get her life straightened out. I wish her all the love and happiness and success that life can bring.
The problem is she is not capable of getting her life on track. It’s up to God.
She has to surrender and God will do the rest !
@jillmiller1705 that's not KJV
@FLBeautyQueenactually "sorceries"and pharmakeia are linked. OP isn't wrong
She used to be beautiful? What a stupid comment.
@@Last_Chance.It's an apt interpretation of the verse.
She looks so much like my mother when she was younger. My mother died at 57… on her 57th birthday. In a hospital ICU tied to a bed because she was in severe withdrawal and had sepsis and multiple organ failure. Her body blew up with fluid from her failing heart and liver / kidneys. She was so so miserable.
Please get help if you’re struggling with addiction. You can make it out. And someone like me loves the fuck outta you. I’ve been sober 6 years from opiates. It’s not easy but it’s possible.
8 yrs here 🙌🏼 It can be done and life is so much better without the stinkin thinkin 🥰 Be strong 💪🏼
❤
Congratulations on being and staying sober ❤
That's the realest thing you can say and NOT ALOT CAN DENY that it "is not easy but it IS POSSIBLE!!!"
How powerful, how brave, how willing 💛🫂❤️🩹
People all around the world need to believe in that one sentence more, we'd all be better off 🙏🏽 🙌🏾
It’s heartbreaking that they couldn’t make her comfortable as her organs were shutting down. Instead they put them in restraints. They did the same thing to my friend Bobby. His liver failed. And he passed.
I hadn’t heard from my sister for years before she overdosed on Fentanyl because she felt the same way you do about reaching out to family. Please, talk to them. I promise it hurts more for both you and them when they don’t know how you’re doing💛
Yes Sarah, we just want to know you're alive! Reach out, it's killing us! No pressure
Although short I really enjoyed this one. This woman is smart, caring, and has many other positive qualities about her. She still has the ability mentally, physically, etc. to break free from the life she is living now and to make something of herself that she would be proud of. I wish her well.
I'm not a drug addict, but I relate to her. I hope she can get her life together and get off the crazy drugs. God help her.
Thank you ❤
She needs to run into a recovery program while she is still coherent. Her mind is still sharp which makes her very lucky.
Sarah - I would love to talk to you again. I miss you so much and am so thankful to see you for the first time in so long. You are such a beautiful, strong soul. Please reach out if you ever see this. Love you cousin.
ive been clean off fent for 7 years ..and crack for 4...its no life. We do recover ❤
That's awesome.
Be proud of that fact.
That's great!
I love that for you 🥹
👍 good job!
Did u get on Suboxone or methadone? Congratulations for getting clean. I was addicted to codeine for a long time it was so shit
What glorious hair on this woman. Love it! I pray you can find a way out. Very intelligent, I pray you can fight those demons and prosper in life. Life can be really beautiful without drugs.
@@deerheart87really?
@@kristenchang2685 I'm on the fence... might be her hair!
@@REZNAP it could be- if so she’s very fortunate the drugs didn’t affect it!
@deerheart87 it's pretty obviously her real hair
She’s such a sweet person. I just want to give her the biggest hug.
Ive been clean from fent for 2 years. . haven't managed to repair every facet of my life, but its getting better!!
That's great!
Just keep going. God bless 🙌🏾 🙏🏽 ❤️
Keep going! Life gets beatiful ❤
That's awesome, I been clean now for 3 years. Keep it up, one day at a time. Life is so much better once you break free.
This stranger is proud of you!!! Even sober people don’t have every facet of life in order, so make sure you’re giving yourself some grace :)
I feel her pain. I was strung out in the L for about 2-3 years. I was fine with just the opiates but when I mixed crack into the game that's what brought me down. I didn't understand that cocaine destroys your opiate receptors causing your body to go into withdrawal meaning you go through about twice the amount of opiate you normally would. Quiting coke was the first step towards treatment. Once I got a hold of myself I entered a methadone program. This was in 2008. I am still in it today. It saved my life, I was able to clean up, get a job, get married, have a home. I am no longer in CA due to the current situation with crime, politics, cost of living. I moved out of there in 2011 to Nevada. Best decision I ever made. I had to remove myself from that situation otherwise I would have fell back into it. Sara is strong because she's going through the 2nd opiate crisis, the Fentanyl one. I was part of the Oxycontin one. I don't think I would have survived this one. I am pulling for you Sara. Get into the methadone program on 6th Street. It's a start! They will help you. God bless and good luck.
She would make an excellent drug counselor if she got straight. She's sincere and intelligent. I always like to think there's still hope ♥️
Amazing point ..🎉
Very perceptive observation!
I thought the same thing the entire time I was watching this.
I thought this too, she would be perfect
She would be an amazing peer counselor.
You're such a beautiful soul Sara! So intelligent, switched on, aware. You got this sister! You have so much to offer the world. Praying you get off the gear and share your gifts xx
I met you in Pleasanton. I would be honored to help you out anyway I can. I was the night physician at valley Care ER.
Please find me. Fate can be funny sometimes.
❤
I hope she finds you again
❤
Does anybody have any updates? I guess just hope for the best...
You're a very good person.
Sara has the best hair I’ve ever seen. Love to you and wish you health and happiness for all your days ❤️❤️❤️
Sara’s positive outlook is amazing. With that she can get sober and help so many.
Thank you for sharing, Sara! I'll be praying for you!
Thank you for your hard work! You are making a difference, Mark!
I've put Sara in my heart and, I just hope she can get better. She has so much to offer not only herself but, others as well.
She reminds of the girl from the movie The Butterfly Effect when she all messed up on drugs …. You Deserve to live happy girly…Your testimony can help many many people struggling with addiction.You are ❤❤❤❤ D.
Look at her hands. The drugs are affecting her heart/circulation
I noticed how red and swollen they are too. I wondered if she was shooting up in her hands.
its the rings on her fingers they cut off blood flow aswell
It’s a big sign of heavy fent use
"I'm very fearful of dying in a bathroom somewhere..." It's because of individuals like Sara that I carry Narcan in my truck. We can only hope that when (not if) Sara overdoses again, someone is able to save her. When ready, please begin the journey into becoming clean, Sara. Not everyone carries Narcan...
Absolutely carry narcan!!!
❤❤️🩹
Sara- You have all the tools to make it beyond this addiction cycle. Take action today! You are loved!
The San Francisco, socio-political issues for disenfranchised people, as you
Sara are a huge factor for your struggles. The book San Francisko clearly reflects the deplorable ways the government sees and uses human as capital. Wishing you the appropriate resources for your beautiful, smart and kind self 🧚🏾♂️. Thanks for sharing your experience and learned lessons.
Sara is only 34 years old. The streets age young beautiful people so fast.
I think she looks her age you can tell she's young but drugs tend to create certain lines and physical characteristics as a consequence that certainly don't help hey. Everyone's different too, some people's genes are so forgiving. If she got clean that would improve immensely. The heavy black eye makeup doesn't help haha. But she's beautiful.
Yeh she cute. in regards to the eye makeup- when living rough I've seen women just kind of put makeup on yesterday's make up so this is what is probably going on here. Wet wipes as essential not only for the backside! Any chance you get for a bird bath should be done. I've often washed up in cafe toilets or airport toilets for example. Always did it quick so nobody would see lol had one favourite spot where the sink was in the toilet cubicle. Perfect opportunity to soak my hands in hot water because if you don't do that regular and clean with tools after you end up with hands like hers. She still young and has potential @@WhatTheDickens92
@@WhatTheDickens92she’s seems like a nice lady but she could pass for 50 let’s be real
She's 31, no?
Leave her alone. People on here are obsessed with how people look. Let’s see what you look like? Bet you’re no oil painting.
She’s a smart girl, seems to have a kind heart too. Wishing her all the success in turning her life around and sending love
I don’t see her response to why she started on hard drugs is particularly smart.
So many ppl say Rebecca has something to contribute to society and I totally disagree. This woman on the other hand does !!
imo they actually seem pretty similar, i think they’d get along great probably make something super creative tg too
I forgot what "Rebecca's" real name is or I would be using that name, but he has something to offer alright. Exposing his privates in public probably where children can see, and terrifying everyone around him with his psychosis rambling.
Agree. This woman has potential. Rebecca, on the other hand, does not want to get clean. Rebecca is committed to being stoned. This woman sees beyond that. Please keep praying for her, folks. Prayers always help. God Bless her.
man i never got hooked on the fent but my brother is currently battling it so hard he is on MAT treatment but still using it’s a hard beast to tame i have been clean 6 years almost now but took me relapse 2 times to get it straight this time i feel for these people so bad! its all about building a stable life job home car if lucky and routine! i love for myself now before id do it for others i love myself first and that keeps me driving daily!
I feel So lucky that in my time using that I never got hooked on it. And that I never accidentally overdosed from it. I didn’t even realize how prevalent fentanyl was where I’m from until years after I got sober. I’ve been sober 6 years too. So happy for you. ❤
@@alliesyn yes same girl i am blessed and think back the terrible things i been through and being here today is a blessing congrats to 6 years also!!!
Congratulations on getting clean I was addicted to codeine but I'm clean via the Suboxone route for 6 years now. Keep it up ❤
❤
Her lesson is literally " peer pressure is a &itch". No childhood trauma,abuse,emotional voids. Just bad influence. You can parent and provide well, and your child could still ruin their entire lives behind bad friends that were actual victims of bad parenting.🤯
I would also probably factor in that she clearly has the addiction gene. So it could have been jump started by shitty peers or even a doctor giving her painkillers for wisdom tooth removal.
I’m 35 and I have every single reason I can think of to be her right now. Luckily I am 6 years clean from opiates. ( doctor prescribed painkillers in my case ) But gosh if we have the gene it gets us all.
She really didn’t speak of her childhood, or what her home life was like growing up. Saying she grew up in an upper middle class family and was subjected to peer pressure doesn’t really tell us much.
Mental ill
This is something people don't realize and they blame it on parents who have loved their children and had big dreams for them and then life itself takes them. I get this so I feel bad for all those parents that have done their best only to have that child totally devastate the parents world and devastated their dreams for that child. For those parents that tried so hard and your heart's are hurting know that I think about you and send you so much love. Your child has just seen so much world trauma that they can't handle.I pray for the parents and the children. This world is hard for most. KNOW that I feel for both sides .🫂💔😥❤️🩹🙏😊
@@erica1139 Mexican brothel workers don't feel sorry for her.
The parents failed but that doesn't mean they were bad parents.
Personal choice, society and culture along with chance.
Lots if things at play but Personal responsibility is the only way out.
U can't blame trauma. Trauma is an excuse to get high.
Ppl are dying quick. Tuff love is true understanding.
Kid gloves clearly aren't working.
San Fran has proven that.
Babying addicts is not helping and time is running out for all of them.
She seems truly genuine and nice person with so much potential. It's really hard to see when people just stuck in the loop and can't get out of this lifestyle. It's truly heartbreaking, cause you can say some people genuinely want to change, want to become better, but it's some inner problems that stop them, like self worth or some other trauma. I've seen many interviews on this channel and many people claimed that they wanna change but I just didn't see that in their eyes , those were just words, but I can tell she really wants to be better and I hope she will find some psychiatrist to work on her mental problems and afterwards she will be able to take steps towards better life for herself to become a great designer, good mom and to be loved by her partner and kids. Wish her all the best
Sara you are so very insightful. I think you have alot of great points. Reach out to your family and get your life back. Your voice is so powerful, get clean and use what you have learned to make a difference, if you choose. You are a walking miracle with a good mind, use it.
I relate to your story SO MUCH. We are close in age(I’m 38), same music scene (only east coast for me) and I was a college student and a “functioning addict” (heroin) for a big part of my teens/20s. I’ve been clean for almost 10 years now. I work in mental health with youth and it’s so rewarding. You seem so intelligent and compassionate, I hope you see that in yourself ❤
Day two! God is good! I’m so thankful
Keep goin! You are kickin ass n takin names. I'm at 10 mos and I've got my brain back. I can't believe how much of life i was unaware of while using. I'm glad I only had 2 yrs of that hell. I did 2 yrs of h and then went to fetty. It's the worst drug out there, it's affordable and easy to come by. I'm now carrying Narcan in my truck bc so many ppl are overdosing and I know Narcan can save your life. If I had teens I'd keep Narcan at home.
I am so much happier clean. If the the drug itself doesn't take you out, the overwhelming guilt, paranoia, shame, embarrassment and rapidly diminishing sense of self-worth will ruin you. I hope for all the best to all addicts and encourage you all to get help, get clean, and start living again. You wont ever regret being able to beat this addiction, it's the best feeling in the world to get to reclaim youself and stop letting the drug do you. Help and love others as well as yourself. We are all of the same consciousness.
Proud of you!
Keep going. You got this ❤❤
Sarah, you've got this! We need more people like you in this world. Please know that you are loved, wanted, and have the ability to get clean and live the life of your dreams!
Sara, you’re incredible. You can escape this hellish loop of addiction and shame and avoidance, and you can build a better life for yourself. START NOW. You will look back at your courageous self in five years and be so overwhelmingly thankful you did the hard thing that seemed impossible to achieve, but you have the mind and you have the fight and you need to make it happen - do whatever it takes to make it start now even if it’s terrifying. It will never be as terrifying as the regret you will live through if you don’t do it. You are an authentic, intuitive woman.
She seems so self aware and in touch. Bless her heart.
sara, you are literally an angel. i relate to you and your story so much. I'm manifesting so much love & positive energy your way.
Oh man....I feel so hard for her. I was addict for 15 years shooting dope and grew up as crust punk kid and man....i just hope she gets clean and can find a way to express her creativity and kindness to the world because the world needs it now more than ever. So heartbreaking. Sending love
Found your channel last year and have enjoyed every vid sense… these are so helpful and informative
She is well spoken. I hope she can make progress.
she is so charismatic, interesting to listen to, open, humble and smart.
And dumb all at the same time
She sounds like she could be friends with anyone she’s so likeable! X
@@nessal4078 it would be a toxic friendship.... she needs to get clean.

@@lialacombe71Puffy hand syndrome.
Her hands look like most fent users hands. It’s very common. It eats their limbs. Hands/arms/feet/legs. The drug literally eats it away. Swelling then, sores, then open wounds, then amputation. VERY common.
My hands were getting like that from 10 years of chain smoking so I recently quit. Hopefully she will stop soon
She looks so cool, I absolutely love her rock chick style!
She's sassy and one of the most intelligent, well spoken person I've heard in a long time!
She really knows what she's talking about and it's people like her we need doing politics.
I'd love to see her clean because she could do do much amazing for both animals and people.
She has a great sense of style and I can totally see her having artistic skills.
She most likely has a lot to offer in that department, too.
She reminds me of a mix of Kate Moss and Janis Joplin.
That hair is absolutely amazing!
Is that real hair and not wig or extensions?
I wish I had thick hair like that!
Most of these addicts look so clean, nice clothes and well kept compared to the addicts I've seen and known.
They also often sound so normal compared to the people I've met who are doing nothing than nodding.
Her hair is fantastic, I thought the same thing
Just think if she wasn’t an addict.
The worst thing is knowing what you’re doing is destructive but still doing it because you’re addicted to it.
Sara is full of substance and made a lot of great points! I hope she sees better days and seeks the help she needs. There’s a whole life out there for her to live. I don’t know her at all but something tells me she’s got a lot more to give and deserves so much better than this. Hopefully she finds it in herself to want more out of her life.
I’m glad to see you and hear your voice, Sarah. Wish I could have been a better friend. Wishing you all the best. Phil from PDX ❤️
Sarah your story is incredible. I really hope you can get out of this current situation and realize more of your potential. I would love to see your art. Best wishes and kindest thoughts….
Gosh I really REALLY hold out hope for Sara. I’d love to see an update video a year later when she’s got her life back on track, because she has so much to offer. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Wow! She almost made me dizzy trying to keep up with what she was saying she's talking so fast!! 😮 wish her the best hope she gets healthy and clean
I thought my YT video setting was on 1,25x speed
I’m a cop. Sarah isn’t a bad person. She’s just trapped in a situation that she can’t escape. I can tell that she’s funny, she’s intelligent, and honestly cares about others. This drug is extremely hard to break and I hope and pray she finds her path to success.
So 👍 nice
Sara has so much potential. I wish she saw it. Sara if you’re reading this, you do have the potential, just let go of this hold. It’s a scary thought, but you can do this. You can overcome it. You are soooo worthy.. 🦋
Clearly an intelligent woman! I truly hope she can find her way there. She has so much to offer the world. It's never too late! She's so young still.
Sara if you're reading this, it's not too late. You can make it out of this, you're so self aware and i can see the smart, creative self pushing and fighting through your struggles... You're stronger than you think 💪
I'm at work, so can't watch the whole thing yet, but I liked that she somewhat owned up. She said that it was her choice to do it. That's a huge step. I know from personal experience. Yes, I broke my collar bone, and in my case the drugs were supplied by the doctor in the beginning. When I got taken off, I could have asked my family for help, but I didn't. I chose to hide it, and seek out the street. Learned what all opiates were out there, and was on heroin/fent and others for about six years. One can't keep blaming other people and events for their position in life and expect it to be fixed. Hope she can get help and get into recovery.
I pray for you Sarah you have touched so many lives I can see in the comments you are so loved and such a gift I’m sorry for the tragedies you have lived through I wish I could take the pain away ❤ sending you love and healing abundance and a huge hug !
This is a person who could make a higher difference in the world if she could overcome her situation
Hi Sara💕 have you heard of Punks With Lunch in Oakland? An amazing group who do boots on the ground harm reduction and much more. Sending you lots of love💕
That's an awesome resource. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Many people associate being smart or brilliant with them having the know-how of staying away from drugs, gambling and alcohol. They will self destruct the same way anyone else would. Addiction doesn't discriminate against the smart, beautiful, or the youth. It takes the lives of people who are curious to consume it.

I can hear her addiction speaking when she talks about her experience with the brain damage she's experienced, saying it's the foil and lack of sleep. Hope she can use the knowledge of how much these drugs are killing her will help her get out of this cycle. I know she's afraid to die this way. I hope the best for you and we know you can get out of this.

I went to SF State too, she and I would have been students there at the same time. I hope she finds her way and gets clean.
Thank you for sharing Sara. I wish you happiness
I hope this woman watches this video and has enough vanity to overcome her addiction and salvage her looks, that are in decline, by getting clean. I don’t say this to be mean, but to be a voice of honesty. It is a superficial reason to wake up, but an indication of the deeper and much more serious illness that is chipping away at her, not with a butter knife but a hacksaw.
I will keep her in my heart and imagine she gets her way out of this hole she is in.
Intelligence can work against many of us by finding rationals to continue a life that has no joy. Yes, you don’t have to be drug addicted to be in deep misery. Just look around, but this kind of nervous system dis-regulation is a road to misery.
This makes me so sad for her, she talks with so much intelligence. I wish her the best
I like her. very bright and likeable person. I wish her peace and love
I hope she gets clean and becomes a part of the solutions she talks about. She could help a lot of people. I bet she’s someone when she clean that others would open up to. ❤
People are just people. I want to share my story and I think your platform is perfect. It’s raw and honest. That’s what the world needs more of. I had a horrible childhood, and have been trying to break generational bullshit. but American wealth and denial is too strong.
She would be the perfect person (if she got sober) to help other people in her situation. I really hope she gets help.
Crack is a terrifying addiction. When in the grips you really can't stop. It doesn't keep you high long so it's relentless. I will never forget and my heart goes out to her.
So many addicts have so much to live for not just her trust me
Sara seems like a sweet woman. Wishing her the best and that people stop taking her sketchbooks! Art can keep a soul going. I love that she hold on to her dreams.
I am an addict as well just on a methadone program which helps me function in society and i can finally hold down a job after years running in circles selling dru4s n things of that sort so I completely agree with Sara we are our own biggest enemy its like we have a death wish just like a slow acting suicide
Mark, I think that what you are doing is amazing. Bringing the darkness to the light. My hope is that we, humanity, can find solutions for all of our broken. I've heard your views. And, I agree. There are soooo many layers to peel before even getting to the hurt and pain. I think we have failed as a society and country. These people matter so much.
Your channel inspires me to reach out to my neighbors, my community, schools, the homeless, addicts....
Thank you for working so hard.
Sara, you are a different kind of interviewee, you are so articulate, and you really come across as having your shit together. I think you are more than you give yourself credit for. If anyone can turn this situation around I THINK IT CAN BE YOU.
She is a homeless fentanyl Crack addict she does not have her shit together lying is not going to save her
What a lot of potential in this beautiful human. Prayers for strength, courage and peace dear one.
Couldn’t get through this one. I’m so sorry. Like my daughter who, at 22, had everything life had to offer yet she chose to hang herself in her walk-in closet?! Still angry about this & my daughter, & she, have a choice. My 💔 is broken. No remedy & none for her until “she gets it”.
She doesn't even want to say it out loud that she's selling herself. She's not for that life. Addiction can enter anyone's life and cause havoc. I hope she can get out and use her education to help others.
I like her a lot!!! Very intelligent, kind & great style! I pray she gets out of this lifestyle cuz she has a lot to offer this world. 💜🙌
Sara seems like a nice person. I am hopeful that she can leave that life, You can see she wants something better. Please update her interviews, I want very much to see her again well.
I hope she can get into recovery and have a beautiful life.❤ she is worth it.
She seems like a very smart and self aware person who wants to turn their life around, hope she’s able to get help and stay clean
I think I’ve seen her on tales from the streets and she wasn’t making any sense, here she is articulate and so smart. I can’t imagine how much potential she’ll have if she’s sober one day. Rooting for her.
What a sweet soul. God bless you, Sara. I hope you find your way back to a peaceful existence.❤
Sara you can do this and have a life beyond your wildest expectations! Free to live. Sending courage and strength. Sharon

Sara has what it takes to fix her life! I don't know why I feel it, but she's intelligent, wise, creative, smart, and pretty "with it". She's in my prayers ❤
I'm in NA and it sounds like she's at the end of learning what she originally sought to seek--- the reality of it. She still in some denial... but the 12-Steps are amazing at cleaning up our past, helping us to heal, and dumping all that shame and guilt she can't talk about. She can help others... use her deficits as benefits.
A friend once told me..."Whatever you use to comfort the stresses of the day, is your God"... have a false god and you have Hell in your life.
Time to stop rebelling. She's an adult now. Time to start building UP HER life. Adolescence is over.
After 2 years clean and sober I became a Substance Abuse Counselor. Kept me sober and raised my self-esteem.
Congrats! Awesome!
