    Why did you took out the mobster video? I was watching and it cut mid video lol

    Hardcore addicts will put that label of "functional" on ourselves like it's something to be proud of. Having a "functional" '93 Camry doesn't mean it's going to be good. Wishing her the best and that she finds recovery.
  • i used to be a "functional" addict or so i thought. "functional" just means you havent lost your house/job/car/family yet.

    I remember when i swore i was a “functional” addict. It wasn’t until i finally lost everything i had. I lost the wife, kid, dog & my hobby which was race cars. I write this today with having completed rehabilitation and achieving a year and a half of sobriety so far. I’m so grateful that today i am a father, husband and most importantly a very active member of the sobriety community.

    Please stay sober for your dogs. I know it's not the same, but I was battling anorexia until I got my dog almost 20 years ago. I decided not being able to climb up the stairs due to muscle loss was enough and vowed to turned my life around so that I can give my dog the best life possible. My dog died at age of 15, he saved my life

    Kinda sad the way she describes her mom is kinda how she turned out with her kids.. they dont like her now either. Generational trauma is sad
  • @KimberlyDenno
    I am so sorry she didn't think she was beautiful cause as soon as I clicked on the video, that was my first thought. I am sorry you had such a terrible mom, I can't believe she abandoned you so many times.

    It breaks my heart. This lady says her kids don’t like her, but she hit the head on the nail on the head when she said didn’t create that emotional connection when they were young her mother did it to her and her mother and so on. I hope when her boys have children, they learn from this my mom was the same way no emotional connection. I have a three year old and I make sure I give her all the emotional support. I still nurse her I’m afraid to even lose that connection! ❤

    Wait, He got her pregnant, BUT He's mad at her for being pregnant?!? wow... Takes two to tango.

    I've been sober for 6 years. There is no such thing as a "functional" alcoholic. If you can't function without it, you're not functional. We need to change some of this language.
  • @Dan82W
    Only 15 minutes in and I just want to give her a hug
  • @vascamp4854
    Yeah - I was "functional" ... multi-million $ business, house, wife, luxury cars etc. Almost lost it all within 3 hours on a binge. No such thing as functional...just lucky. I got VERY lucky. Sober now and grateful af.
  • I love this lady!! Great storytelling with the different voices😂😂😂😂
  • @Chula2011ism
    Your ability to carry pain and still radiate warmth is beautiful. I pray you find peace with your mother, even if it’s not in the way you hope.
  • @MissNevada08
    This woman is STRONG AF. I wish her peace. She deserves it.
  • @user-ez2zl5kw9v
    Thank you for sharing. You are real. You deserve sobriety and good life. PSThank you for saving the dogs.
  • @TheBadTam05
    I wonder if she’s apologized to her own kids?
  • @pestlund
    She reminds me of a woman i used to party with. Tough, beautiful, hurting. Thankful I’m 2 years sober.
  • @MJ-ge6jz
    How she is still alive is a miracle in itself.
