People Share Their Experience With Substance Abuse
video description
Unfortunately, you really can't make someone get help, and pushing it on them doesn't help either. All you can do is keep them in your thoughts, support them, and hope time will help them heal and recover.

What's wonderful about videos like these are that they smash the stereotype of what we are lead to believe a junkie is. It can be the person in the cubicle next to you, the person who grooms your dog, or someone really close to you. It's not always Steve Buscemi asking for a sausage mcmuffin at 10: 55 a. m.

This was really helpful. We have been dealing with this from the other side where we had to evict our sister from living with us due to her substance abuse and the fact we have a 2 year old. Sadly, she isnt ready for help so hearing all of their stories was so amazing.

Whether if its Alcohol, weed (which is safe) or whatever, the problem is that our generation is depressed. The high cost of living, student loan debt, low wages, not being able to own a house etc. thats why we turn to things that will numb us from the real world

I needed to see this. Someone so close to me is going through addiction, and every day I feel like theyre falling further and further away. Its hell, but as this persons family we have to ride out the storm and just await their return.

I work at a rehab center and I'm so happy to see these people overcome addiction if you're struggling with addiction please try a detox center even if it takes you 3 or even 5 times. Your insurance might cover the whole stay.

I absolutely identify with the realization that I need to actually be present in my kids lives and my own life. I needed to see everything around me instead of being focused solely on myself. Be strong!
