I Started Shooting Heroin at 15 | Human Trafficked, Prison, and How I Finally Got Clean & Sober

I’ve listened to almost every addiction story on yt under the sun, and this hands-down has to be one of my favorites and most touching I’ve ever heard. Such a similar story to this girl. Thank you for having her on and thank you Alyx for sharing. So glad you made it on the other side.

I loved this she’s so strong ❤

She is the absolute twin of someone, appearance-wise, with whom I used to work. This woman, Debbie, would be about 20 years older than Alyx now, but they are truly physical clones of each other.

To many commercials for me

You are such an inspiration.Thank you for sharing your story.❤

I was a friend of Alyx back in Junior High/ High School. I’m so happy and proud to see the woman and mom she has become!!

It's amazing how most addicts start with smoking cigarettes then drinking and then smoking weed. As for me i started sniffing coke on weekends when me and my friends would go out clubbing or bars to level off from the drinking just to keep you going. i soon discovered valium which I loved. I didn't do heroin till i was 25. And i fell in love with that drug. Once I started doing heroin that was it for all the other drugs i didn't want to do anything but heroin. I remember hearing in the rooms on the one of many times I tried to get clean that it was a love affair and it had to run its course. And i didn't realize how true that would be until my love affair with heroin was over.

Getting clean off heroin, is hard man ,not going to lie,but the end reward is so freaking great ,it’s hard to describe how wonderful it is to be alive .Good for her ,I’m super proud of her or to anyone that kicks the horrible habit but it’s so do able especially with the good things they have now to help you but you must be dedicated to it.Again the end reward is just awesome.

Time for some energy work to clear the trauma from your field. Tuning fork sound therapy is recommended. Good luck.

Loved this episode she is awsome

It’s like listening to my mom and dads life 😢 I’m in treatment for kratom and alcoholism bc o swapped from prescription meds and was not able to stay sober. She is awesome, she is part of a small percentage! We do recover 🎉❤

She’s going to hate listening back to this with that dry mouth 🥲

Incredible interview!!!!! 🙏🏼

I knew Alyx growing up, we weren't close but we had a couple mutual friends and I would see her around often throughout being a teen. I always admired how beautiful and liked she was, as I also suffer from lack of self appreciation. I remember going to small shows at little clubs and bars to listen to her sing on songs she was featured on with a group called HOF and I just thought she was the coolest person. I followed her and her family on facebook while being friends with them and watching her ups and downs and always praying for her, as I always knew she had so much to offer the world, and I knew one day she would. It just goes to show you, no matter how much you think someone has it all, the beauty, the voice, the popularity, the friends that you just never really know what someone is going through outside of the public eye, and for that you should always be kind. She deserved much more than the world gave her at the time, but it also made her this amazing woman we're all here watching today. I'm proud of you, and your family for overcoming such hard times and I'm so glad you get to now live the beautiful life you always deserved.

I really appreciate how you are nonjudgmental with the people you interview and give them the recognition to where they are today. So enjoyable to watch your videos!

Wow that was great. Kevin you let her just flow. The way Alyx’ eyes lit up when she shifted from her dark past to getting “the sober job” and helping people. Her eyes literally lit up. You could see her glowing. She is an inspiration. This episode will indeed help a lot of people. Keep up the great work Kevin.

Meth doesn't give you a particular high when I tried it I didn't feel high I just felt a lot of energy and couldn't sleep very different from cocaine I personally didn't like it cause I love the down head. So when I tried heroin it was over I was in love I actually stopped every other drug it was heroin that I fell in love with didn't even drink anymore. Then I met the guy with the orange head and I was in love

CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE THE FEW LUCKY ONES AND I CAN TELL THAT YOU ENJOY YOUR SOBRIETY LIFE AND WHAT YOU OVERCAME. BUT DON'T EVER FORGET THAT YOU CAN BE RIGHT BACK THERE SO KEEP UP WITH THE PROGRAM AND ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH TO GET WHERE YOU ARE TODAY..❤️❤️

It's so true what she said that just cause a person is dressed well and lives in a nice neighborhood and house doesn't mean that they are good people evil comes in all shapes and sizes.PLEASE REMEMBER THAT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL OUT THERE ON THE STREET WHO ARE STILL IN THE LIFE.🙏

They say the withdrawal is worse than death and that's why alot of addicts neck themselfs cause the withdrawal is worse after hearing that I understand now that after years of taking it u r virtually taking the drug just so u don't get sick is that right

God bless, there’s hope for addiction. 💖

Glad we’ve put shame or shaming people we’re humans and speaking our is also advocating for the ones who are still battling & the other half who are gone but not forgotten. Love these talks and kinda of podcast first time seeing I’ve subscribed immediately because of the transparency you have my support & respect thanks for giving us a space to share discuss these topics 😊

Wish i knew how to contact her. I wanna stay clean myself. Im 41 & pregnant and i wanna stay clean after the birth of my child. I owe it to my older children grandchildren and MYSELF ❤ LORD SEND SOMEONE LIKE HER MY WAY. I'M TERRIFIED I WILL LET MYSELF DOWN

Amazing interview, extremely helpful

Hey, if you are interested, I have quite the story. I am now 64, and my mom died and left with an adoptive stepfather, who were both teachers, and grew up in my teen yrs in a little town with a general store, 3 churches, and if you blinks going by on the highway you would miss us. The little town was called Kinnear’s Mills in Quebec, Canada. I left when I was 19 to Vancouver from Montreal, thinking it was a big city, lol, but what a culture shock! Anyways, got into the drugs, lived on the street 10 yrs, after had 2 children, lost them 5 times to CPS and worked to feet them back and did, and now am a grandma. This is a long story very condensed and lots missing along the way! Big time crack head, heroin addict to methadone and am now clean except for 25 mls of methadone from 180 mls and counting, both my kids beat the statistics and are great with their own lives, 2 sons, one 2 children and the other 4. 2 are hers and 2 are his. One of the 2 are both of theirs. If you are brave enough to take on my story, send me a text and I’d be happy to share! Anything to send hope to all the young mom’s who have lost hope. Thanks for listening

the dealers were N's werent they

You have such a beautiful message babe! I’m from Ohio too- Vermilion Ohio so between Cleveland and Sandusky.. Akron is no joke!!!!!!! The opiate epidemic took ahold of me in 06, I stopped shooting in 2011 like I get it soo much! But God bless sis!

She's very pretty id love to see pictures of her Journey from b4 she started using to how it changed threw the useing

What an amazing person that is! Congratulations on your wins in life ❤

thank you so much for sharing your story. i relate in a lot of ways. i wish i lived in ohio so i could come work with you!!! i would love to work in the recovery space.

She needs some water

God bless you on your healthy sobriety!

My experience on suboxon was the worst because I had a high tolerance my doctor put me on 4 8mg at the time it was suboxon pills I took not the strips and they were suboxon not subutext but anyways my doctor didn't want me to split them up during the day he told me take them all 4 at once that's 32mgs so I was legit high as a kit on them and because I was "getting high" off them I just started to sell them and went back to using dope it wasn't till I got myself on the sublicade shot where it really stuck for me that was the best choice over suboxon subutext or methadone. You take it once a month and it slowly releases into your system and if you want to stop and get off of it you can just stop you don't have to tamper down no withdrawal nothing I promise if you can look into it it truly works best 🖤

I love her , can't explain it.

I love your story! Thank you for sharing.

Thankyou for this girl....given me the motivation to try and succeed x your a beautiful soul....kia kaha ( stay strong) from New Zealand 🤍

What a strong woman and beautiful

Thank you for sharing your story ❤❤❤God bless

Amazing!

Thank you for your story 💓 I as well started heroin and meth at 14. I was sober since 2019 but am having a hard time lately. Thanks for the positivity after everything you’ve been through

Your mom didn’t try to get you any help

Not trying to be mean but why the cotton mouth? Did she use before the interview?

Cried listening to your story. Very inspiring. ❤

I worked at a treatment center back in 2020 the same time Alyx was working there - we didn't really interact with one another due to working at different locations, but I always knew she was a radiant light. The clients all lovedddd her and I can absolutely see why after watching this! She has such a genuine and authentic spirit. Seeing her talk about the joy she finds in the simplicity of her life made me smile. Her light was not taken from her by the darkness she experienced, and her grounded nature is so calming. Thanks for sharing your story with the world Alyx, you are so incredibly strong and this world is lucky to have you in it 🩷

Thankyou for your honesty and sharing.

Great story but damn it’s hard to listen to with her cotton mouth. Take a drink of water sis.

I respectfully disagree, your mom definitely do the best she could. This is what happens when you let kids raise themselves and make their own decisions.

I was on my way to prison the last time I was arrested.. my lawyer fought and got me in in drug court, and it’s saving my life. I was so pissed at first, but now, I’m so grateful for it. Honestly. I graduate in November of this year. I can identify with a lot of her story, and she is amazing for overcoming everything she has. I hope to be as successful as she is, and to work with people in addiction, once I graduate. Love this.

Amazing story. So happy Jay turned you in 😆 Good for you girl!
