- Katie's Battle with Xanax and Alcohol | True Stories of Addiction | Detox To Rehab
At the age of 12, Katie explored alcohol and began to make friends with the wrong crowd. When she got a hold of Xanax and alcohol, she began to black out when she mixed the two. Having the strength to ask her family for help gave her the chance for a better life than just pills and booze. Katie got into a treatment facility named A Better Today Recovery Services with the help of her parents. There she learned things about herself and began to work a program that guided her to a happy life in recovery.

I'm really happy to know she recovered.This is Motivating!

Battling addiction is really tough! May you have continuous recovery Katie! Inspire more :)
Addiction isn't easy to overcome. It takes courage and determination to leave it. Oftentimes, addicts are always influenced by peer group. I'm happy for those that have been able to overcome
I've been addicted to meth, xanax, and alcohol and I've finally decided I want treatment but it's such a long process to even go

Wow, knowing when to ask for help is really a big move. So happy Katie family was supportive and never neglect her when she needed them most.
Xanax fucked up my nervous system. 9 months sober and still get random panic attacks. I’m definitely a shit ton better than before but it does take a long time to recover
Damn bro how long you been on them if you dont mind me asking
@@Sean-xz9kp I fucked with them for about 2-3 years. At one point I was taking a ridiculous amount (10+ per day). They were street bars so the true mg was never confirmed. I’ve been off them for 3 years now and I feel great!
@@Z_Co95 theres ur problem. taking street shit instead of going to the doc. how do you know they where even xanx? complete fool..
@@Z_Co95 your lucky to be alive with all the crap being laced with fentanyl. Stay strong
Really glad Katie has a healthy relationship with her family now and is actively working on staying sober. Very courageous of her to tell her story and to try and shed light on addiction.
Glad the story was inspirational for you.
I’m so proud of you thank you 🙏🏻❤️for sharing your story you’re a beautiful strong person!💛
her voice is shaking. can people actually 100% RECOVER?
i was wondering that too. it seems a lot of the former xanax/benzo addicts talk with a shaky/quivery voice.
Yes are you joking? its all in your mindset. Most people trying to "recover" are just pussy ass bitches that havent took notice to the real world yet.
Like I used to be addicted to heroin, I started on Oxy for my back because I have Cerebral Palsy that effects my whole left side. But then i was doing dope all day every day and made up excuses why but really it was just because i wanted to get high to numb the pain both mental and Physical quit making excuses and just do it. No one is forcing you to be sober.
Benjamin Akely i thought she just got excited but im not even shocked
Fuck xanax abuse
Eggy Bush she's trying not to cry it seems like. When I quit xanax it gave me mental withdrawals for well over a year, suppressing my anxiety with xanax just gave me much worse anxiety once I got clean, I was an emotional and anxiety filled wreck for a year and a half. But it's been almost 4 years now for me and I'm happy to say my brain is mostly recovered, although I still don't remember much from that time. It's a god awful drug to abuse,
Eggy Bush benzo vibrating voice 😞 super super super difficult to come off of, heroin is hell, over quick... a week, two tops for physical side affects, but benzo’s can take years for the actual central nervous center and neurologically recover from. BRUTAL. God Bless her.

You’re welcome.
i did xanax and alcohol ONCE and it fucked me up so much and i made choices that i can’t even explain let alone remember. no matter how much you do or how much control you think you have, don’t do it. just don’t. you’ll regret it
So relatable
Battling addiction is a very though thing to do. Am happy kathie was able to overcome. Her story is inspiring
She´s so inspirational.
My friend used to drive while on xanax really sad fell off a roof luckily she didn't break anything serious. Everyone stay safe and sober
Battling this kind of war is really tough.Good thing there were people that are willing to support her along the way. By the way, she is really beautiful.

It is very to battle with addiction especially Xanax and alcohol. Taking such thing can be life threatening. Glad that Katie took the path to recovery.
How much have you taken at once if you don’t mind me asking
Substance abuse ruins your life and the relationahipbyou have with others. Katie you are such a beautiful person and I am happy you have been able to overcome the addiction. Be the best you can be and try and make the trust between you and your family 100% all the best.
We are so proud.
Xanax withdrawal is really bad, yes and combining it with alcohol will most likely cause black outs. I remember a few years back I was committed to a psych ward as a result of my drug use. They just suddenly switched me from xanax to valium and even though valium is a benzo it was still terrible! I had a really rude awakening yesterday evening. I am going on two months off of alcohol and crack cocaine, I'm still working on benzos, I'm doing a taper very slowly. Anyhow, I was offered crack cocaine yesterday evening and without even giving anything a thought I jumped out of my bed and started to prepare myself to use! What a rude awakening indeed! The other person was joking, they had no drugs, they were just joking around, thank u GOD! In my mind I had already relapsed on crack, it makes me stronger. I thank GOD that that incident took place. I don't know what the other person's intention was but it sure has helped me. I need to never forget that " I am a sick person!" I need to take my recovery very seriously and stop joking around, most of us are just big kids that have never grown up. Well, I need to grow up and realize how sick I am! Keep up the good work!

Yea opiate withdrawal is rarely ever fatal, maybe methadone and suboxone because of the long half life I think but benzo withdrawal can fuckin killl u man! If you're a heavy drinker u can also die from alcohol withdrawal too.
Kevin Klein Hey, how are you after all this time?
Kevin how r u now
Katie has been exposed to the negative way of life at teen. Thank God for her recovery.
Thanks for your recovery!
Recovery is indeed a panacea to any form of addiction. Detox is on top of this.
🙌🙌🙌
worst drug ever..... wish i knew how addicting it was when i started 4 years ago.... shits unbelievably awful to come off of after long term dependence
Try 18yrs it’s a nightmare
7210 30 years on them how will i ever get off them
tried it two times in 3 years, around 50 tablets. Had no addict, you just broke
@@nahaponia6665 how are you now?
Addiction to xanax and other drugs can be detrimental to the health, thank God Katie found recovery from this Addiction. Detox to rehab thank you for sharing this wonderful story of recovery.
Thanks for your comment, we appreciate it.
Dang that's awesome Katie I did not know that you were a part of this group it is cool to see somebody I know so inspiring xanax is a hard drug to kick keep working it one day at a time
Your childhood wasn't a pleasant one and this led you to early addiction of alcohol. It was good you shared your experience.
Thanks for your comment, we appreciate it.
This is a very touching story. i really feel for her taking Xanax and alcohol is very dangerous for health. Glad that she followed the path to recovery from her addiction.
it´s a good example of effort!
Dealing with addiction isnt an easy task it only takes the grace of God. May you keep recovering
Keep going Katie!
Good Katie ,how your battle with xanax and alcohol really gave everyone understand how it difficult to sober,and finally they Will avoid that make them addicted
We hope more people learn from our true stories of addiction..
I am so proud to you. It is cool somebody. I hope continues. Thanka video is like and sharing.
Thank you so much!
I have been on xanax and alcohol for years now suffering to stayf off this addiction on them, but it hasn't been an easy thing for me. I think after the watch of this video, I will be free from this addiction. Thanks for this Short video.
Bro it's, super easy to od and die from this combo. I Almost died 6 days ago
You don't really understand what's happening your stomach is struggling you are in total confusion and agony and you realise your heart is barely beating. I just wanted to have some fun but dying this way is not fun at all
I don't understand how people get exposed to drugs and alcohol at a very tender age.. parents need to do more..drug addiction sucks..I'm glad she is clean now..thanks for sharing the video..really helpful
Thanks for your comment, we appreciate it.
Parents are usually also addicts
I took xanax and its been two days cause i get withdrawals form heroin. For me xanax doesn't affect me. I dont feel the high. But i can sleep peacefully. Once you get into drugs its really hard to let go.
Why u do heroin? It’s the worst drug.
She’s gorgeous. Strong women
She does !💙
Listening to her is very saddening to the soul. Because it was a tough one. She even wen to jail in the process. But it great knowing she conquered addiction.
We hope more people learn from our true stories of addiction..
I just think awareness creation is the way forward. the teens out there need to know how destructive addiction can be. Thank God she could beat not everyone out can easily beat addiction.
This is why I don't care if I'm not the "cool" aunt🤣 I'm fun in many ways but no way would i allow them to drink at that age.🤷♀️
I always thought my suicide was a way out so I wouldn't have to worry about anything else because if anything got too bad I will just send it but now as I've gotten older I don't really want to commit suicide anymore I don't know what to do maybe I should just send it all
It was very sad to know that she was exposed to these things as early as 12. :( But I am still grateful because Katie found a way out. I hope you continue to inspire more others. Best regards!
We´re totally agree!
Katie's addiction started from a very small age that landed her in prison. I pray she gets out of the addiction safely
Being exposed to drugs at am early age can lead a child to doing drugs eventually, which was Katie's case. You really sound determined and I pray that you remain sober and make the best out-of your life.
Life es amazing without drugs.
shes tweakin
Lost all my friends some family , lost a couple jobs , crashed my car almost killed myself, lost my best friend stay off Xanax please
We are so proud of her.
It is a big step to fight for self soberness. It is to live a healthy life, free from substances that make a slave, that matters most.
🙌🙌🙌
A true gaba fiend
I totalled 4 cars and almost killed myself on xanax.
Struggling everyday
I did the same terrible combination and horrible to quit.
I had over dose twice by taking 4 Xanax with hella alcohol and it was really hard to get off. I am now finally almost a month clean after relapsing straight out of rehab and about to start working soon and I’m only 17 and I started at 11 12 years old it’s something I forever regret.
It fucked up my grades attendance to school and relationships with family and friends but I’m back in school and working hard to graduate.
We are so proud of her.
This scares me. I take Alprazolam/Xanax 0,5 mg when I have bad anxiety but I don’t want to get addicted.. I sometimes need it to function when I have bad anxiety :(
Benzodiazepine withdraw is horrible, always taper slowly.
Try some else b4 u get addicted it’s serious💯💯
Yes bro I know xanax looks innocent. At first I didn't think of it as a drug it didn't qualify as one for me then I od on xanax and alcohol almost fucking died
Olivia this thing whatever it gives it takes back it doesn't fix anything it's just out there to sell and we r just money to them.
@@fyrsstatusrecords5754 I’m sorry that happened to you :( I just don’t know what to do without it. I get so anxious sometimes and extremely dizzy. I only take it occasionally though when I have really important things to do that I can’t mess up. I wish there was an alternative
Jesus is she beautiful. God you’d never guess. I’ve been addicted to opioids, benzos and alcohol for over a decade.
Xanax withdrawal is just and bad as alcohol withdrawal.. which includes seizures. Be carful people
Gahd Dammn im going cold turkey off xanax and using beer for sleep..cant stop shaking my head
Blue Feathers Black no bro don't do that x withdrawal is literally the worst of all you can die, good luck tho.

How are you doing?

I'm really glad for you!
My drug story is stupid af. I was bad injured (I'm a professional ballet dancer), and after few surgeries, my recovery was looong and painful, even on prescribed painkillers. AKA opioids. It was hell, although my dr. tapered me slowly. It really was a pure hell, which I wouldn't want to anyone. Since I really don't have any enemies, I can't tell "I don't wish to my worst enemy" ... I just don't wish it to anyone. In some moments, I thought I will definitely lose my mind. I would never put that crap in my body again.
Stay safe! :)
Xanax really does change people don’t start taking bars
Can u describe how exactly they change u
They fuck you up permanently ... my anxiety before Xanax was bad and after Xanax is was insane to handle like psychotic

Nah
I am not sure if I heard this substance before (xanax), However, this story is very common. I said a while back that where I am from some drivers takes substances to stay awake. Not saying that its xanax but still. The support system always plays a huge role in these and it shows.
Lol it’s not Xanax
Xanax seems like too much, ive been on valium for a long time, but i do it infrequently enough to not withdraw if i have to go a while without it. Something stronger is unimaginable.
*Hey I'll refer you to this specialist who guided me through my experience,he got all kinds of psychedelic stuffs and he ship discreetly to any location**
Dude is on Telegram¿¿¿
@Necodrug_store ¿¿¿
Using Xanax is very dangerous to health. Glad that she was able to get help and get her life.
Hey we are happy to have you here, We are posting amazing stories daily at: detoxtorehab.com/category/true-stories-of-addiction
Katie's childhood is partially ruined due to the addiction she went into. Getting influenced is one of the major reasons behind the addiction.
Your story is real and God in His eternal mercy has delivered you. Your deliverance is permanent in Jesus name.
Glad the story was inspirational for you.
She chose a yellow tinted warm foundation, but her skin is a cool toned red color.
lmao yeah her face is yellow
Seriously? WTF
@@shannonbradley4699 Oh quit being sucha drama queen.
Listen to the story why are women so criticized for their looks?
In another addiction video in this series someone makes a comment calling another woman fat, but there are like 5 or more dudes that are fat and no one says anything?
They said don't do drugs. I said ok, I won't.
My second grand mal seizure from going cold turkey off the xans happened just like the first. 3 days after stopping it hit without warning, although this time I was driving delivering pizza. Seized behind the wheel, blacked out, and came to in the ambulance. Luckily I had just turned into a neighborhood and went straight up over someones front lawn and crashed into their brick wall/planter. Do not cold turkey off of benzodiazepines- you can die.
Wow that's wild! I'm glad you are okay! I had my second one when I was riding my bike in NYC. The exact same thing, no warning of it coming on and I woke up in an ambulance. I remember asking the EMT over and over, "wait, I had a seizure?" And just the way he said "yes" to me every time I asked, I'll remember for the rest of my life. I've never found another person with the similar "waking up in an ambulance" after a seizure until you. Luckily, I've been able to stay away from Xanax for the most part but there was one time where I got a few pills but what was weird is only after doing it for like 2 days and stopping, my brain went haywire from it. Almost like it remembered what I had done to it before. Very odd. Luckily, I didn't have another seizure but I did have withdrawals symptoms after like 2 days. Which shouldn't seem possible but it really did happen. How are you doing with it?
yeah i’m not trying xans now
as long as xanax and other benzos are used moderately, i think there is absolutely no problem. if it makes your life better, use it wisely. just don't overdue it. switch off with other safer alternatives like nootropics or herbal stuff... like kava complex, etc
I never got a Xanax withdrawal I do feel addicted though
Happy for you. Getting severe anxiety and restlessness makes me exhausted.. 😞
Only time I pop a xany is when I have to take any flight over 8 hours. I pop a half a xany, fall asleep on the plane then by the time we land Im rested, refreshed and ready for action!
How the hell can you afford a condo at 19
Parents help, aka she got her parents to pay 90 percent of the price
Ive been on xanx for 20 years i take 2mg in moring and 2mg at night every day i tried to stop but the withdrawels r so bad im scared to try to stop again one time when i tried to stop i was having halluncations had grandmal sezuires i couldnt walk i was put the icu i went into a come for 2weeks it was so scary idk if i should try to stoo again idk
wow what life have you had
@HeavyDutyTraining yes by a perscription.
HeavyDutyTraining u dont have to go on high doses to get the witrall
sezuires is a bitch im on xanax for 2 years 3mg a day daily because of my anxiety. one day i started thinking i should quiet and i went cold turkey... sezuires almost kill me gotta taped it off slowly its funny how doctors didn’t say how addictive this drug is
Damn lemme Buy some 😂
I use to be an alcoholic really bad where I almost died on time! So that made me stop drinking completely I been a pot head for 5 years and also got addicted to meth for 2 years. So when it came to trying Xanax for the first time I thought I was the biggest and the baddest when it came to drugs and I popped 3 yellow 2mg pills thinking i needed a lot. NOPE I BLACKED OUT SO HARD it took me an hour to find where I hid my stash and I literally blacked out right when it kicked in and I was up for 6 hours and remembered NONE of it I could have killed someone or myself in a freak accident. I still did Xanax after that day because they are amazing BUT BE CAREFUL IF YOU DO!!! I only do it once ever LONG while and I don’t get addicted or get withdrawals same with meth alcohol and weed I learned to balance my life an my drugs to COMPLETELY avoid addicted to any drug because then it ruins the experiences and potentially YOUR LIFE
Katie's childhood was a kind of lethal journey, I would say. Her advent into addiction and that too such an early age is very risky to health.
Battling with any form of substance is hard. More reason we shouldn't even try it out at all.
There a lot of reasons to be sober!
mixed alcohol with xanax and I blacked out. Its confusing af
ive just started taking xanax, every video says its bad and all but my life is shit and i rly dk dont care at this point so... anyone who has personal experience of what it does?
Why does she sound like she's about to cry the whole time
Because it’s obviously hard for her to think about that time in her life? Common sense boy
Great answer ! Thank you Nay! 🤍
Proves that even rich people have problems
Thank God i never got addicted to bars. I hate them. I can't stand that feeling on bars.
Kassie Marley What feeling? The relaxed feeling
please don’t try :(
This literally is making my girlfriend crazy smh.
Is it okay to take 1 Xanax (.5mg) a day ?
shit makes u addicted dude. if you need it just do it on the weekend. It blocks your neuron receptors and damages your brain very badly. i used to take them every day and got a very hard come off i didnt realise i was addicted until i stopped taking them.
Smoke weed. Or micro dose on mushrooms
