  1. I was 22 when I was prescribed codeine and it was quite a high strength (30/500mg). I was addicted for 4/5 years and I did some very bad things to try and get my fix, I stole my dads medication, I stole money in order to buy some from the internet, it ruined my life and I hated thinking about my next fix constantly. Now I’m clean and have been for around 9 months without any relapses.

  2. You know what? I would kill to have a sister who cared about me the way Kim cares about Courtney, my sister said that she wanted nothing to do with me

  3. My mum was almost the same, she wasn’t drinking nearly as much as this woman was but she needed alcohol to function, she had a seizure at work and banged her head and face, it was a right mess, but it could’ve been so much worse

  4. It also makes you selfish, you don’t care who you hurt as long as you get your next fix, been there done that.

  5.  @Pax_Mayn3  it’s not a competition? Codeine is still an opiate and still addictive. Everyone is different.

  6.  @Pax_Mayn3 I never said I wasn’t a thief….I know I was. But I haven’t stole anything since. Stop trying to invalidate my experience. The main point is that I’m not taking it anymore

  7. Exactly she will die if she doesn’t have a drink, her body has become that dependent on it that it needs it to function that without it she will more than likely have a seizure and could bang her head

  8. An adult does NOT get ‘pulled in’ by a child….he knew what he was doing was wrong, he should’ve had common sense to never start it in the first place

  9.  @lulabelle4527  thank you! I’m glad I didn’t progress onto anything stronger than codeine even though I thought about it during my addiction, nobody seems to want to be supportive anymore, they just want to win the addiction contest

  10. My mum also had a seizure when she was withdrawing from alcohol once, the thing is with alcohol addiction, if you want to stop you have to wean yourself off slowly rather than go cold turkey

  11. I noticed that as well, the change in her voice is incredible!

  12. You’re absolutely right, as an opioid addict in recovery, I can absolutely say that the reason I got help was because I wanted it, I knew I didn’t want the life I was living anymore

  13. I’m sorry, but why would Sean lie about seeing his dad cheat? it’s no wonder he’s turned to alcohol. Absolutely disgusting of his parents to call him a liar and then ground him for three months.

  14. They don’t want help because they enjoy the high that comes with it.

  15.  @OneManHolocaust  I’m doing this right now. Addicted to painkillers, I was taking up to 20 a day and now I’m on substitutes to get off them

  16. My god him being abused at such a young age is heartbreaking, can’t even begin to imagine what was going through his mind, he was damaged before his life even begun. I hope his abuser is in prison and rots.

  17.  @TerriBrereton sometimes up to 20

  18. Same here! I was also an opiate addict and you’re absolutely right, it is a demon that possesses your mind 24/7. All you can think about is getting your next fix and you’ll do just about anything to get that. I also stole painkillers and money from my parents which I deeply regret and I still haven’t forgiven myself for. I’ve been clean for just over 2 years.

  19.  @YouloveDJ  I’m on suboxone

  20. I was a painkiller addict, the only reason I got help for it was for myself, I didn’t do it for anyone else because I knew it wouldn’t have worked as I wouldn’t have been ready at the time. You can’t force someone to get help if they don’t want it

  21. ‘She thinks if she doesn’t get that next drink, she’ll die tomorrow’ Uh yeah she probably will because her body is that used to it, alcohol is needed for her to function

  22.  @screweduptexas  just recently moved down from 8mg to 7.6mg

  23.  @kiajackson6650  it was, I’m not a big person, I’m tiny, I’m only 4’11 so taking up to 20 x 30mg codeine tablets was a pretty high strength, 600mg a day. It really took its toll on my body

  24. Sometimes…but it can also be a case of hanging with the wrong crowd

  25. I can’t stand mothers who keep the biological fathers identity a secret from their child

  26. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, you cannot force someone to get help unless they want to help themselves, it is sad that Dennis didn’t stick to treatment but unless he’s ready to change then he will keep relapsing, I know this from experience from being a painkiller addict. I woke up one day and realised that I didn’t want to live this life anymore, I didn’t want to think about my next fix and where to get it all the time, it’s not a life at all

  27. I became addicted to painkillers after I was given to them by a doctor, it was my choice to take them yes but I was in so much pain at the time and it helped, problem is it was the start of an addiction that spiralled out of control. I’ve not touched codeine in nearly a year now

  28. Good on Collette for sticking to her guns and raising their daughter alone, no child should be around a drug addict, he clearly wasn’t ready to get help if he kept relapsing, I just hope one day he changes his ways
    2
  29. I mean if I lost 3 kids I think I’d be on drugs too, sounds awful to say but I wouldn’t even want to think about the pain or live with it
    2
  30. It’s such a shame she died, so young and so many what ifs, sending love to her family
    2
  31. Unfortunately you can’t help someone unless they want to help themselves, it was obvious that Brett wasn’t ready, hopefully if he’s still alive he became ready and got the help he needed so desperately
    2
  32. I’ve said this once and I will always say it again, you can’t force someone to get help if they’re not ready to, I know this from personal experience

  33. @paradisesunprincess  it is where I’m from…you can only get it on prescription

  34. @@futoooob no but it made me relax

  35.  @elliotcrouch7500  yeah well, I was thinking about taking stronger stuff including heroin, hence why I had to stop when I did

  36.  @elliotcrouch7500  doesn’t mean I didn’t think about stronger drugs, I even thought about heroin and that’s when I knew I needed to stop

  37. I have my own daughter and that hit me like a ton of bricks, she sounded so upset 💔

  38. This has to be one of the worst cases I’ve ever seen. Katie looks absolutely terrible and she’s supposed to be 36? I do hope she manages to get clean one day

  39. ‘It’s hard to understand how a 3 year old could be molested or how she would remember it’ Uhh who wouldn’t remember something like that? Especially when they try SO hard to forget about it, Jesus Christ. Her mum is definitely similar to mine, seems to think I can just ‘snap out of things’ and when I try to talk to her about stuff she don’t wanna know, just says ‘well you need to sort yourself out then’ no hug, no reassurance, nothing. I’ll NEVER treat my daughter this way.

  40. Jesus Christ, the way her parents talk about her I’m not surprised she drinks, she’s basically the scapegoat because she wasn’t planned, her mother calling her exhausting but saying that it didn’t sway her love for her, my daughter tires me out from time to time, but she’s not exhausting. I would never say that about her.

  41. Kinda annoying how some of the relatives keep using male pronouns…She’s transgender and wanting to be a female, using ‘he’ isn’t helping at all.

  42. Aw, Nicholette seems like such a sweetheart. I hate that addiction got a hold of her but also glad she got the help she needed

  43. They don’t warn you about the addictive side either I know I wasn’t

  44. Yep, I’m a Libra (September 29) and I always put others before myself. I hate to see someone I care about go without or sad

  45. I’m like the dad on this one, I’m an autistic parent and sometimes I don’t know when to show the right emotions or use the right voice tone and I long for the day when my daughter is old enough to say to me ‘mum you’re perfect’ or ‘you’re an amazing mum’
    1
  46. If my daughter told me she was being abused, it would rip me to pieces, I’d believe her straight away, it’s rare that someone is that sick enough to make up such a thing

  47. Hearing Jesse’s story really broke my heart, they deserved so much more in life, from being born addicted to being sexually abused in a place where they were supposed to feel safe, absolutely horrendous. I’m so glad his mother got clean though
