I was a heroin addict for 20 years. Im 4 years clean now. I was homeless for a long time. Now i work 2 jobs and have 2 cars, fell in love and have rebuilt my family relationships. It can be done. I did 2 years in a full time rehab. It saved my life
Well done you
I'm going into residential rehabilitation nxt week 12/10/22 starting off for 12 week's and then I can take more time if I want it, been addicted to opiates for over 20 years whether it be prescription or heroin.can lie to you im kinda poohing my pants I cant even begin to remember the last time I was sober.i totally agree with the young lad in the film that cannabis is a gateway drug! It was for me I 1st scored a weed when I was 13 and after that 1st £7.50 deal it was a slippery slope for me.thanks for sharing your story and I sincerely hope that you get the help and the 1st hand up that you need to start getting your life back in order however that may be for you! Andy Merseyside 😉👍
You want praise for being a crackhead or something ? Move your weak minded for taking it in the first place
Good luck Andy
@@andybowyer3602 you'll be right brother. Its a tough road rehab but the end result will be worth it. You'll get your life back instead of being consumed every day thinking of how to get on. Im the exact same, started out on weed at 13 then heroin at 16. Good luck my friend
People don’t have a clue what this guys life is like. Many will see him as weak. Yet anyone who has walked in his shoes knows it’s the most torturous and hard way of life. The sheer levels of suffering it’s impossible to comprehend.
I will never see drug addicts as weak or poor men. Just humans who horribly lost their right paths. No one chooses addiction voluntary. Had problems with alcohol and weed myself, and boy did it ruin a lot for me. But being a homeless heavy heroin addict? Unimaginable. Poor soul
It’s a lot harder to continue using than it would be to give it up. Having to go through withdrawals again and again would have to take a lot more strength than just being done with it. I’ve never used drugs but that’s what I believe. I had cancer years ago as was put on strong painkillers and was on them for almost 8 months. When I came off them cold turkey, it was the hardest couple of weeks of my life so I can’t even imagine how hard it would be trying to stop something like heroine omg 😳
@@spicnspan981 the strong pain killers you got were likely just as strong as heroin, just in pill form
Dick truesay as in Verb T?
True, it's all fun and games until it is not any longer!!
What an interview. That took a massive amount of guts to admit his problems. I hope that Alex reads this and I hope he turns his life around, gets clean and gets contact with his daughter. He’s stronger than he thinks he is. Wish you all the best and good luck on your recovery.
It didn’t take guts, it took the money he was paid to do it. Money that enabled him to buy more heroin
Just needed to be high. High people live to chit chat, coming from a recovering addict
This man who is a survivor or horrors still has the ability to speak with intellect and feeling.
This is tragic , this fella is a lot smarter than the hand he's been dealt.
"What do you consider to be a good day? When someone asks me how I am.." 😔 that hitted really hard..😭
Then you fell for it!! A good day for a heroine addict is him getting money early in the day so he can get a bag of brown to inject it. His lying
@@londongunner1 let me tell you that you're wrong.. not everybody is the same ..you re not talking about a tag. Youre talking about a human being.. :) this guys is clean now.. I Will let you anwser now.
I really got choked up watching this, I've been an addict for the best part of 30 yrs on and off, tried everything to get clean and now I'm discussing getting a injection every month to stay clean, I've lost everything that matters to me and hope that by doing this I can finally find some sort of peace in life and be content, wish you all the best Alex 👍
I hope you get the injection 🙏 12 step, like really really working the 12 step program has been pretty helpful to me
For those guys to beat up a homeless man is despicable, just cause they don’t have a home doesn’t mean they don’t have feeling’s or emotions. Hope this man gets the help he needs to get over his addiction.
BLM.
Please someone... get this guy the help he needs. He's a proper gent. Just needs a helping hand and his own determination to turn his life around.
What a lovely man. You can do it mate. I sincerely hope your life changes and you get to where you'd like to be. All the very best to you.

Hello I was wondering if you could say what part of London’s he’s staying in at the moment would love to give him so help meet him for a coffee I understand if you can’t
hey jess - Alex's phone is currently off but I will be seeing him over the next week and will ask him if he is fine with me handing this information out, and if so I will be in contact.
Aaron
@@jessball6414 hey did u get the info by any chance i wanted to do the same thing come meet him.thank you xx🙏🙏🥰
I think there are a lot of people who want to help him especially on tiktok
Isn't there a way to make that work?
Ahh a fellow Brummie fair play bro I’ve been addicted for 22 years blessed with a loving family xx
This guy is a beautiful gent who has got caught in the drug cycle and can’t get out! He is remorseful, intelligent, knows where he has gone wrong and genuinely wants help! Even through the numbing of heroin he shows tears which is heartbreaking! The fact that he mentioned weed being a gateway and proof that it can happen to anyone. I wish you the absolute best Alex you deserve it. Paying now to your fund. 💙
This guy is very intelligent. He's got a lot of integrity.
He really knows what he needs to do, knows his faults, and knows what he needs to do.
I'm glad he's woken up. I really hope this charity can get him a room soon whilst he's in this positive mindset.
Wishing Alex all the beat for the future. I really want to give him a hug
Such a heartbreaking story. I wanna give him a hug. He looks soo tired of life and Soo full of hurt and regrets. I pray that he'll have the strength and hope to recover from his addiction. ♥️
He's tired cause he's doing 13 bags of dope a day.
@@justintime753 wow that`s what you got from him? I hope you don`t have to find empathy the hard way ..
Bless his heart ❤ such a heartbreaking story, i really hope alex gets all the help he needs to live the quaity of life he deserves X
Bless him ? 🤣 he'd rather have crack thanks
@Brad Hedge who are his victim's? He says he just begs. Try not to shit on those who already have shit all over them.
I really hope this guy gets the help he needs, he deserves a better life. As an alcoholic/ opiate addict myself, I completely understand the struggle. I've been fortunate enough to get clean and sober, and have been in recovery for almost 11 years now, so I know it's possible. I wish you nothing but the best on your journey!!! Just remember that another path is possible, there are resources available to help, and you can get through this!!!♡
Congratulations on your sobriety ❤
@@nunyabizniz1983 THANK YOU! ❤
@@taishastancliffe1094 you’re welcome darling xxx
This is so heartbreaking. I pray he becomes a very succesful man. May god bless him 😢
First watch of this channel, Alex please find it within you to take that first step. You come across as such an aware, kind hearted human being. You are beautiful, you really are ❤
Heartbreaking stuff. The tear at the end really got me. Wishing you get all the support you need Alex 💔
He is so eloquent in his speaking and seems so intelligent. I hope Alex gets the help and good path to redirect his life. Sending love and light to you brother.
how are you guys not 1M+ subs? phenomonal deilvery of an interview and what an absolute gent of a bloke, truly self aware- if he does become clean and get his life back together he will be a true inspiration for a lot of people out there
Thank you for the kind words, I will be trying to help Alex get back on his feet! We will be doing a transformation video with him next week, hope you have a good day! Thank you for watching - Aaron
Because 1 million people don’t care about some crackheads story lol. Do you even know how the internet works?
@@Tyson13797 probably reminds him of himself lmaooo
because content isn't good enough?
He would steal from you to get a fix. Nothing but a junkie . No gent there.
This breaks my heart. I'm the same age as he is. I'm hooked on benzos and alcohol. I was abused as a child for years myself. I can relate to this man so much. Luckily I've never been locked up and have a job. But, it's difficult to maintain any level of hope. I grew up with out my dad as well, I think that impacted me more than I think. I hope this wonderful soul gets help! He deserves it.
I can relate, watch “Show Me The Father” and have an open mind/heart. I was rescued from my trauma and pain, anger, resentment and depression that clouded my ability to live free. Praying for you Dylyn!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Keagan! I need all the positive things and vibes I can get right now. I'm trying to change but it's so damn hard.... I will check that out! I always keep an open mind and a full heart! No matter what. I appreciate you my friend! Thank you so much.
@@dylynblue9864 no need to thank me, I just truly love others and just want them to see the light because I know how dark it can get. I OD’d 3 times in 2020 and it’s a miracle I was able to be saved-I’m 2 years sober next month. I pray this doesn’t happen to anyone else and I pray you’ll find peace. Comment if you ever need to talk I’m here for support ANYTIME!
Well, I'll thank you anyway! You didn't have to take time out of our life to even comment. I'm so happy you're here today. You're here for a reason! I can feel the positive energy radiating from you. I'm not used to anyone even caring or asking me how I'm doing or anything. It's a foreign feeling. I'm just used to be treated badly and ignored. So, you even caring really means a lot to me. I'll still thank you again! You're a wonderful person!
Just a word of advice. My best friend went cold Turkey off benzo and killed himself 9 months later. Never go CT. Taper. Thanks and love
Stay strong bud. I’m a 52 year old man from West Midlands, I was addicted to heroin and crack for nearly 30 years but now been nasty free for over two years. If I can do it then it’s definitely doable. Heroin is one of the best drugs hence why so many people get addicted, not because it’s shite. I battle every day but it does get easier. Nuff love peeps.
I'm same as you, I'm 30 now and was a heroin and crack cocaine addict for 7 years. I nearly died, over 1.5 years off it. Well done mate 💖
52 myself started on B at 28.got clean about 7 years ago some people don't like you being clean I've been back at it 3 years or so, I went to a private school for most of my school life I also went to college for 4 years brown doesn't differentiate from any class up bringing or area your from stay strong , I have never smoked cannabis etc so I don't believe it's a gateway drug,I've lost 2 of my best mates to brown , I went to school with both and 1 of them was university educated.
I've got crack for sale here guys phone me you nittys
Amen brother. There is a reason the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big. We look forward more than back. God Bless.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 true true 💖
I'm supporting however I can. I'm recovering from an addiction that stems from being critically injured in Iraq. I spent over 15 years in either military or paramilitary special operations. After giving ALL I was simply used up and not only having being put on multiple opiates instead of addressing the issues, I was ultimately deemed "a threat to national security" and sent to federal prison for 5 years.
Such a heartbreaking story this is. I feel so sorry for him. He's had such a hard life & I seriously hope he gets all the help he so desperately needs & deserves. This is where our country needs to do so much more & have the right people & the right help to help those like this lad instead of leaving them.rotting on our fuckin streets like a bag of unwanted trash. I seriously hope much better things are just round the corner for him. Best wishes
His tear at the very end of the video.. thats heartaching. Hope he can have a chance to restart someday in his life.
he is so charismatic even looking death in the face he’s got such a sweet soul
be kind to yourself man! stay well dont give up fighting
Well done Alex for sitting down and opening up takes a lot of courage. I hope your methadone script is sorted soon, and you get a place you can call home. I'm an ex heroin addict on methadone and although I need to go to the chemist everyday, I'm not searching for money and drugs. Methadone changed my life so I hope you get there soon buddy. Lots of love from Scotland ❤️
Took words right out of me mouth xoxo.
How long have you been on methadone,
I mean why don't you take it a weekly
@@Al.S. They don’t let you do it like that until more time goes by since they are very dramatic about it usually. You have to go every day and most of the time it costs a little bit of money but probably not as much as they’d spend on illicit substances. I am on Suboxone and you are able to do that weekly and if you pass pill counts and drug tests, they will let you do that biweekly.
Methadone is a game changer.
"I think a lot of it has to do with me where I felt like I'm not being listened to" .... I teared up. So much of the darkness is just that simple. Don't give up Alex. Thanks for your honesty.
Teared up? Why?
I'm not a religious man but I'll be praying so hard that Alex can overcome his addiction and begin to see a glimmer of light. My heart breaks watching this. ❤️ and best wishes from Melbourne 🇦🇺
How can u pray hard when ur not religious? Im not either and i would never pray its just a fantasy sorry.
@@lennarthagen3638 no it’s not
@@dasmuss6174 yes it is.
@@lennarthagen3638 nuh uh
@@dasmuss6174agree to disagree then.
What a sweet guy! I wish him the best of everything! ❤
Alex I wish you find peace because you are a handsome and well spoken man who deserves happiness.
Alex , you are a GENTLEMAN, not once did you swear or use any profanity in the whole interview. You seem like a gentle and caring soul. May God Bless you in getting the help you need to come out of the dark place and turn your life around. You CAN DO IT Alex. Take all the help and support out there and try and be strong in your mind and will, your daughter will be VERY proud of you as her dad and you can influence others to change also. I will be keeping you in my prayers and trust God to see you through.
Leave the god nonsense at home
He stabbed soneone and did years in prison. Be careful who you think is such a nice person after a 13 minute interview.
@@tylerseabook9423 everybody is entitled to an opinion
Thanks for sharing, it was heartbreaking to see him so conscious about his position. His mind is so clear and he speaks so eloquently. Hope I can meet Alex in Oxford Circus when I pass by central.
Oh my heart 😭 it just breaks for this guy. I truly hope he gets the help he needs xx
2 years sober in 2 months. ❤ 6 years plus addicted to fentanyl. I started getting clean at 19 and those 3 years till 22 were the most gnarly using times of my life. In and out full time rehabs for 3 years trying ti get sober and OD time after time. So thankful to be here today and to see these comments of y’all who made it! Stay safe ❤
I totally relate to this lad. I really do hope that you get on track brother. Stay safe and keep strong pal❤
He seems like such a nice genuine guy. I hope he gets help ❤
Life is so cruel. He doesn't deserve the life he's been forced into, and he doesn't deserve further mistreated from people. I hope so much he keeps that fight and resilience and finds a way out, because he deserves a life of love, hope and happiness.
I cry my eyes out for him. He looks like a kind, nice fellow. I so hope he can change his life for the best!!!
We really need a follow up on this fella he touched me quite hard!
Great job ❤️ Very respectful to him. He had so much desperation in his voice. I wish him the very best, moving forward. Hope his mom is at peace now. 😭
I was diagnosed in 2013 with Multiple Sclerosis and have lived with pretty severe chronic pain for years. Before I started on my current regime , I was taking Morphine 3x day. I went 4 days past my script renewal because I couldnt afford it ( this definitely happened more than once) and I was sicker than I ever have been in my life. The stomach pain was something that made me yelp out in pain. I looked in the mirror and the state of withdrawl had me not even looking like myself. I can't imagine the extent of what heroin addicts go through... All in the effort to avoid being so horribly sick. I can certainly empathize.
I am so happy and feel honoured to have this gentleman chare some of his lifestory. Thats big of him. ❤️
Mate you've been through it! Keep your head up buddy. I've been in a similar situation and it isn't easy. Stay strong my brother. You will find happiness one day. Keep on keeping on.
Hang in there, Alex. I can see your intelligence and compassion shining through in this interview. I wish you all the best for the future.
I hope Alex finds the strength he’s seeking and gets the help he needs
Oh Alex… this broke my heart. Poor soul. I hope he gets help and is able to get he’s life back on track. I can’t imagine having the courage to tell someone you trust the awful things that’s been happening to you for 2 years and not to be believed. I’ll never understand how some people don’t believe their own child over something like this. Failed from the get go… fingers crossed he gets clean and happier x
Such a nice gentleman i really wish him well . What a heart breaking story .
what a humble level-headed guy in such shitty circumstances just goes to show never lose sight of ur goals, Alex's are just everyday achievements for some but for him they are massive, i choked up at the end for him, good luck my friend i hope you'll be safe and find an answer.
Alex you're stronger than you know mate, there is love for you and I know in your heart there is plenty to give, onwards and upwards, stay strong mate.
Good luck Alex hope you can change your life never give up .
Poor geezer. Has the face of a wounded saint. I've never sent money so quick.
Money to where
How did you sent him money?? I can't see anything for him here??
@@matthewjdouglas6471 I think you can drop them an email
😂
Why are you telling people on here
Oh Alex I just want to give you a massive hug ❤ You seem such a gentle soul who’s had horrific things happen to them. I wish you well ❤
I really hope that Alex finds his way and is able to lift himself out of the situation he's in. If this channel grows into something that could directly provide links to all sorts of help like housing, medical care and a line into employment all for giving an interview, I would definitely support.
I’m a heroin addict shot dope for 18 years clean now man bro keep ya head up we love you get help and meds and go into program you can do this love from Boston
I got 17 years clean now, was sleeping rough from aged 15 and it's not easy pulling yourself back out of that hole but it can be done and it gets easier. One day he'll be helping others get clean, you can see it in him..
Alex, I'll keep a look out for you my friend ;)
I’m so troubled and heartbroken for this sweet, gentle guy. Please God he gets well and survives Xxx
I wish you get better man. This hits home hard.
Good for you Alex for finding the strength to make the changes to better your life. You are strong and focused, you should be very proud of yourself, keep pushing forward. Have a blessed day.
What an amazing testimony. Brother, please keep your head up. Concentrate on all of the positive ✨ 😌 in your life and let go of all the negative crap. I went through alot of the same situations. You can pull yourself out of that same hole I was in. Please remember that people like me and you always need support. Don't be afraid to ask for help 😉 much love and respect ❤
Sending him prayers and I hope he’s in a better situation
Very unfortunate and sorry for the feller. The main thing is he is aware of what his problems are. That's the first step to improving.
If your reading this Alex I wish you the best of luck and don't give up.
Your daughter needs you!
@Shell m You ever been addicted ??..I really hope you never get in a bad car crash and need too use morphine for a couple months and you come out off hospital now addicted and the doctors reduce your morphine and now you can't function because your always sick so you turn too other painkillers..doctors pills can be even worse than herion and stronger...people go through different traumas not all people feel trauma the same and they take a drug as a child or a young teenager which makes them feel safe and makes the trauma go away and they become addicted...some people really don't realise what they are doing with regards too drugs might take something at a party thinking it will be alright and that one decision changes everything we are only human beings and people makes mistakes in life and some people arnt mentally strong some people are mentally ill and don't even realise they need help and find drugs..I'm sure you have made mistakes in your life..
@Shell m You OK ?..I wasn't being aggressive with you I just said I hope you don't get get hooked on morphine and find yourself in a situation where you get hooked on other opiate pills if that's how you view all people addicted too drugs...alcahol causes more damage,nicotine is a drug and anti depressants are so new we don't know the long term effects..but if I touched a nerve somehow then sorry about that..so what was your opium painkiller course did you take for years and manage the tapir off withdrawl just fine ??...if so congratulations too you 💯 well done,but other people clearly not as strong as you my best friend got nearly stabbed too death and the hospital cut his painkiller supply even though he still in pain..then he met a girl the first love off his life and she was a Herion addict and due too this fact my friend used it as a painkiller and it got out off controll..but luckily he's clean now...I had no clue about opiates the doctor gave them too me when I was young and I took for couple months and that lead too me using other pills because I couldn't function it was just a stupid mistake that happened but also luckily I'm clean now after 6 years...so I was merely saying in life sometimes things happen and what upset about that I don't know but again sorry for that n you take care.
@@jshaw4757 he didn't get in a crash and addicted though bro , he says he is homeless, in the uk you can easily get free housing and get benefits , instead he'd rather beg on the streets bro thats a choice
@@karlmarks6065 Well firstly nothing wrong with begging that's what charity is if somebody isn't doing well for whatever reason there is nothing wrong with helping n showing a bit compassion if a person so wanted too its not all about money it's about showing a bit off understanding n compassion just like you would if you saw an injured animal.. we are just animals..all be it animals with an entire catalogue off rules n ways n this n that which we are supposed too abide by n your told what too think and how things are supposed too be...the bottom line his life is nobody else's buisness he's clearly not a bad human being and if you don't think you wanna help don't...if you do then do..thats how life works is no set way...theres old Chinese proverb goes like this 'Shit happens'....and other people going into how what where why when is none off there buisness so either help him out or keep your mouth shut on somebody else's own life...he's not a serial killer or a bully or a rich scumbag that's earnt his millions by fraud or doing whatever...he made some bad choices and if you wanna go have a chat with him n offer help then do so if not then just move on with your life go pick somebody else too judge...and that wasn't aimed at you I was talking from my perspective off situations like this obviously I don't know you personally so I wouldn't assume your character or where your coming from but that's how I feel with some people I see in similar conversations...cheers
@@karlmarks6065 And no its not easy too get free housing and benefits mate...the benefit side you must have a residence where you live too claim it...and the free housing part you must be joking they can put you in a hostel but they are full off crazy people and can be dangerous more so than being on the street thst is why many people would rather sleep outside than in a hostel because firstly they can be very unsafe secondly if you have social anxiety then people struggle too stay in them and would prefer too be on the street...I know all this from personal experience and one off my friends is dealing with it now...he's not a drug addict his life n family n mental health and other factors in his life have put him in this situation and he was the strongest friend I had growing up the last person you would expect too be in this situation but mentally he is suffering..he's not mentally ill just suffering and I do everything I can for him and I hope he gets better but his story is nothing too the others he tells me about in the hostels some off them are chaos
These are such sad depressing stories. My heart breaks for people in this position.. nobody would ever choose it. Thank you for putting out these people's stories
Very handsome young man, I pray he gets his life in order.
What a tremendously honest man.
Go well.
Poor lad all the trauma he had endured, it's a miracle he's still standing. I hope he finds the support to heal, he's got the strength, or he wouldn't have made it this far.
Beautiful kind sole!!! Wish you peace love and prosperity in your life. ❤
I love you Alex. I really hope you are doing OK and are safe 🙏
He seems absolutely exhausted. Like talking and speaking is a chore. I know the feeling. I'm an alcoholic and opiate addict coming off both. It's exhausting. I'm finding getting off pills to be the worst. The insomnia, lack of appetite, confused thinking, crawling skin, everything. I feel this brotha's energy to my core.
Such a nice bloke.hope he gets all the help and happiness ❤
Hes got crack hes very happy
Thank u taboo guys.. god bless u Alex love and hug from istanbul bro i feel u 100%
I really hope you catch a break Alex and can push on and turn it around. Stay strong.
that's a pity! very handsome guy with lots of potential, hope you get out of all of these troubles, life is BEAUTIFUL AND SHORT.
Been an opiate addict for close to 17 years.. it's just hit me recently what volatility I've been bringing into the world. I wish I could get into a methadone program at the least if not inpatient rehab. It gets hard to accomplish anything other than scoring a bag to stay well when you hit this point. I feel every word of this so hard.
Good luck on your journey 🙏
I pray this man can or has turned his life around and has found peace in his heart
This guy is awesome and deserves a new chance in his life 😓
Hes a beautiful guy , hope he can turns it all around for his baba ❤
I really hope things turn around for him🥺he seems like such a sweet soul. I hope life gets better for him. I really hope he’ll be okay
From a deep 6 years addiction and losing just about everything, I’m now 1 year clean from heroin, without rehab or any replacement drugs. By myself, for myself. 🎉
keep the faith alex, there are people who love you, especially your child, i wish you all the best young man.
My heart breaks for him, such a lovely guy xx
I wish the best for this man people dont get how hard addiction is im still struggling with my drug use and alcohol use
I struggled for 20 years on and off hoples addict doctor 🏥 told me never get clean 6 years clean today if I can anyone can recovery is hard but worth it god 🙏 bless from Ireland
Sending love and hugs to this guy, stay strong lad, you can do this, sending all the POSSATIVITY I can to protect help and guide you on the right path Danielle 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Alex keep your head son I’ve been there and now clean but took me getting dvt to stop and still haven’t really it’s hard graft coming off tht shit I keep told apart if recovery is falling off now again I’m tears listening to u ❤❤❤❤
My heart really really goes out for this person
Just a really really sad story, you just never know what’s round the corner in life and a roll of the 🎲 can change how your life is, you can hear and see the pain he’s been through and just to want a basic education and to see his daughter. I really hope he gets what he wants in life 😢
Bless his heart and praise for mum hoping peace. Hope for the better and know strength
I’d love to see an update on this guy eventually. I hope he gets clean poor guy
My heart goes out out to this young man. He wants to change his situation so badly.
Respect to the man for being open and honest I've been down a similar path a combination of cocaine and alcohol addiction a real party animal I thought it was great at the time but then it had a diverse effect your stamina goes downhill as well as your mental health after a period of time it took 15 years of my life I'm drug-free and the temptation will always be in the back of your mind never f****** goes away it's all about self control I want nourishment not punishment and I remind myself every time I feel the urge life is hard it wasn't meant to be easy people will always profit out of your misery and will continue to do so providing you allow that to happen take care
You speak so well so well articulated so honest you got it you can do it
Sending lots of positiv vibes energy ❤
This broke my heart. He sounds sad, like he’s been broken 😞 the story about his uncle and his mom not believing him 😢, and losing his mom a yr ago 😢, and the disgusting people who had nothing better to do then piss on him and beat him to a pulp have NO IDEA what that would do to a person. Prayin to the creator for you Alex to get some strength and realize your worth 💛
Alex, thank you sharing. I'm praying for you.
You can do it Alex! Wait that 2 or 3 months to get a house, and slowly work on Rehab. You can do it Lovely! I'm praying for you! 🙏🏽💕
I'm a recovering heroin addict who used for 23yrs and I'm 3yrs clean and I'm on a heroin blocker injection called BUVIDAL and it's a life changer and I'd love to see Alex get a script for it, getting clean is a damn site easier with it . good luck Alex, I hope you get to a better place soon.❤️🙏
Sorry that's not clean! That's Substitution.
@@heikosoeder it's the lesser of two evils and I'd rather be safe and unable to use as I have failed so many times in the past especially right now as my elderly dad has stage 2 lymphoma and is very unwell and I have been struggling with this and my mental health has been poor as of late, I lost my beloved girlfriend ten years ago and I was clean and doing well until she died and I relapsed big style and it's taken me so long to get clean that I don't want to mess up again so having the injection is the best option for me now, anyway.. who are you to be judging me?!.
@@heikosoeder And when you stop getting the injections good luck.
@@adamweston4152 he’s no one to judge you bro keep going and do not relapse :) pls
@@benjaminavramovski4185 don't worry I'm not giving up on sobriety, it's too good to go back, thanks for your kind words, much appreciated.
Can’t believe how cruel people are😢. I wish you all the best, and your child of course❤️
If I had any money I’d help him, he is such a good person deep down and has been failed by EVERYONE, the police, the hospitals, his mum, his uncle it’s disgusting if just one prison sentence took him to rehab he’d be the one who sticks with it and sees it through
And this interview is done he just gets sent back to the streets? What kind of messed up stuff is that
I got lots of respect for Alex , never give up . I have been there myself, I was an addict for 19 years, I have been clean for 11 years .God bless you and I which you all the best for the future.
I hope his uncle rots in hell. Alex good luck with getting drug free and getting to be a proper dad. So sorry for the loss of your mum.
