    My son was a Heroin addict for 10 years and the WHOLE FAMILY suffered through his addictions, he was trying and trying to get clean but just couldn’t RESIST that pull of Heroin and would go back to it time and time again,after 10 years something “CLICKED “ and he was lucky to get in REHAB miles from home , and I’m PROUD to say he’s been clean for 23 years now and married with 3 children and lovely wife .I think of him as one of the LUCKY ONES ,lots of his associates are either dead or still using heroin or anything they can get their hands on. What I’m trying to say IS that if you want to get clean IF my son can DO IT you can too ,it takes a LOT OF WILLPOWER and DETERMINATION,but you GET YOUR LIFE BACK AND YOUR FAMILY ! GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO GET OFF DRUGS !

    Great message. To those who dont understand how this Drug makes you Feel the Best way I can describe it is it's like the Feeling of falling in Love. You know the Honeymoon period. Where life is Great and your always in a Good mood. Now the withdrawals are the Worst when you Quit Cold Turkey. I dont reccomend doing it that way. Full blown withdrawal feels like the Worst Flu of your Life while having an Anxiety Attack. Just Hell. Know you know something about it.

Ironically, the first time I had WD, ad a teenager, I put it down to something else, Just didn't realise that the sneezing and yawning, weakness and terribly aching legs and nausea were from WD. {No internet in those days} If only there could be a non addictive opiate..but that isn't ever likely to happen.

    God bless him. I also went thru it for approx 10+ years.. and it took me to reach that point, for me to get clean. You can't get clean because others want you to. You have to truly want it for yourself. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, but I would do it because family wanted me to.. not because I wanted to. And that's why I never got clean during that time. It took me waking up one day, and just being fed up of living like that for me to get it together. And thank God, that day came. My heart goes out to anyone still going thru the struggle. Never give up, it's never too late to turn your life around. I'm living proof.

    Former heroin addict in Pittsburgh and Detroit. Took me 32 detoxes, rehabs, half way house, jail, homeless to get clean & have been that way since July 24, 2008. Married with four kids, job, home, etc & life is good now but I too had lost hope at points and never thought I'd get clean. I'd say 70% of people I used with overdosed and died, 20% got clean and other 10% in prison or still using. If you're struggling as an addict or family member of an addict don't lose hope. They aren't themselves and hate what they do to you and to themselves but they unfortunately are unable to control it. It's such a horrible life and I pray for all of you

Cracked it open and drank that pint in 2 swallows. I remember looking up in the sky after not feeling a thing and said "I'm Done" . I can't explain it but everything was lifted off me. The shakes, cravings, urge and the need to want was gone. My body and mind had had enough. It will be 13 years I haven't touched a drop.

    I know people claim heroin withdrawal won't kill you like withdrawing from alcohol or benzos, but it is so painful and soul destroying, specially as addicts often have nobody to reach to for support. Personally I couldn't take it and after two failed attempts at withdrawal ,during the third attempt the crushing depression led me to take a huge mixed overdose and I'm ashamed to say my son came home and found me blue and unresponsive on the floor. The poor kid had to perform CPR to start my breathing and heart again and keep me alive till the ambulance arrived. That was my "rock-bottom" putting my son through that, and I did finally manage to get clean following that.

    @@patrickskehill5589 I don't know, I can't agree. I battled a heroine addiction for 10+ years, and eventually got myself clean off of straight will power. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, and they didn't work for me. They preach 12 steps, and not everyone is programmed the same, so 12 steps doesn't apply for everyone. But either way, during my addiction I didn't feel all alone. I felt far from that. I used to enjoy getting high, and the days when I couldn't afford it, I would suffer withdrawals, but I didn't feel like I was all by myself and lost. No, I put myself in that position... and I accepted it. So it required myself to get me out that position. After accepting the fact that 12 steps wasn't going to work for me, I took it upon myself to get myself clean.. and I did just that. Was it easy? No. I failed many times in the past, but I reached a point where I felt enough was enough, and quit. Not everyone has that willpower, I get it. And I don't fault them for that. My comment is more to point out that I didn't feel all alone, or lost, or however you want to phrase it... and at my peak, I was spending 4-5 hundred a day, so I was definitely at full fledge addiction. If any of you are still using, never give up. It's possible to get clean. I am living proof. If you ask anyone in my family, they all expected to get that phone call one day. None of them thought I would get it together, but contrary to belief... I did. And so can anyone, with enough will power.

I got pregnant, I’m married and sadly, no method prevents pregnancy 100%. My husband is a scientist and I am an artist. I had no place to go and desperately called a methadone clinic. The doctor was shocked, what they did to me. I miscarried in withdrawal on the toilet. With my new doctor this would never happen. I had a healthy baby girl finally seven weeks ago, three days in hospital, no withdrawal for the baby , I was low enough at that point, because I planned this pregnancy . But I’ll never forget how cruel my old doctor treated me. According to CDC it’s forbidden, to stop opiates abruptly in pregnant women because it causes miscarriage. At the same time, they kicked others out, one a man that just recovered from chemo therapy. Going to the clinic changed my view on a lot of things. And I’ve met quite a few former pain patients, that got kicked out , weaned off quickly or simply got addicted. I am thankful I never got that desperate but I can say one thing; opiate withdrawal is hell. I don’t wish it on anyone. Well, maybe the doctor that said they don’t treat pregnant patients and no refill anymore… After ten years on pain medication, without a single issue. I hope you’re doing well.

    ​@@meowmeowmeow2362 Hey, I'm from Scotland and have been addicted to heroin for almost 25 years. I've had issues with crack and valium too but heroins always been my main addiction. I've been clean many times but have always gone back to it although this time I can honestly say I won't ever go back to it as the withdrawals get harder the older I get. To answer your question you'll start to feel a bit better after a week but it'll be at least 3 weeks before you start sleeping and eating properly. Wish I could tell you it'll be easy but it isn't. Stick in there and you'll get through it. The key is to accept that you have yo go through weeks of he'll to get better and for the first week fuck the whole "one day at a time" thing and take it an hour at a time as it really is nasty but totally worth it once you get clean. Good luck to you. Ps where are you from? I realise we don't know each other but I'm always here if you need some moral support. Take it easy and be strong!!!

    I've worked with addicts for many years - and the "Kill me if I'm lying" phrase is exactly what an addict would say. Doesn't me the guy's an addict - but it's definitely not proof otherwise. And if the Taliban are offering these people a chance to get clean and go back to "normal" life, then that's better than the alternative.

    I think one of the hardest things for people who don't struggle with addiction to understand is why addicts who have gotten clean from their substances of choice overwhelmingly go back out and get addicted all over again (my local state- run rehab facility has a 96% failure rate. 96%!) . I know I wondered it myself when I was young - why don't they just stop and stay sober, and once they have stopped, why in God's name would anybody ever choose to get back on it again? As a former IV heroin addict of 7 years (im 24 now) I wish I had a clear-cut answer besides that your brain chemicals are basically fu@ked- your not making serotonin and dopamine and norepinephrine and all those other helpful little feel good chemicals-sometimes for a very long time after recovering from chemical addictions. Drugs can seemingly be the only positive feeling achievable for quite awhile, and its tempting not to relapse when everyday is an apathetic, soul crushing blur of depression. Aside from that, substance addiction is almost ALWAYS a method of coping with extreme trauma that must be painstakingly unpacked, unraveled and unlearned. Easier said than done for sure. So long story short, the answer is, there are no easy answers Edit: thank you to each and every person who took the time to write encouraging messages and those who shared their own ways of staying clean. I actually wrote down about 50 of your comments in a notebook to refer back to for hope when I'm feeling hopeless.

    The lack of insight in trauma/PTSD and how to cure it. Is the main reason. The addict also don`t understand that the drug is not taking away the pain long term. It is simply taking away the pain short term, the multiply the pain after that by 1000. This is the same with all drugs. You also see this with even avrage people drinking alcohol, they forget the pain/anxiety that comes the days after beeing hammerd. They simply want to think that the drug is just a " good" thing and that there is zero downside. wishfull thinking is also common. People think that they are " special" and that they are not going to be addicted. And that only losers/fools and so on get addicted. When in reality trauma from childhood is common. There is also alot of brainwashing and marketing in culture where drugs, alcohol, nicotine and escapism is portraid as " cool", and something we all deserve. When reality is that there is no escape from reality.

    The more horrible the detox, the better chance an addict has against relapse. However, this is not the one thing that will keep you from relapse. The real trick is staying clean and being content where you are not obsessing over wanting to use. For most, only a real relationship with God can fix them to where they no longer obsess and want to use again.

    I was part of the Central Poppy Eradication Force from 2004 to 2005. Our mission was to train police to eradicate poppy fields and reduce as much as possible the amount of poppy was grown for production of heroin. The program failed largely due to the Afghan government refusing to do what needed to be done and several missions failed due to bribes being conducted between the drug lord and the local (sometimes national) government. Initially, the Taliban did not condone the production of heroin but eventually found out how much money could be made from it and used that money to fund terrorist operations and attacks in Afghanistan. We, as instructors, were blamed for inadequate training when, in truth, the Afghan National Police were not conducting themselves as we trained them to. There were several who would commit to the eradication and they were excellent officers. However, there were several that were there for the money they were being paid. There were a few officers who were suspected Taliban and we had two of our language assistants (interpreters) who were Taliban trying to spy on us. Unfortunately, the program was largely a failure due to the corruption of local government and police officials.

    In the U.S. it's become fentanyl robbing people of their loved ones. I've never struggled with opioid addiction, but my girlfriend has slowly slipped away from me into that world. Watching this made me think about her and many people I've lost to addiction. It's heartbreaking. But on a lighter note.. this was an amazing piece to watch. I really felt like I was right there watching these men. Always the families that suffer most. I hope the best for everyone watching this. Stay strong. God bless

It’s extremely important that it’s addressed as most addicts think things will never feel good again or think it’ll feel hopeless forever when in reality it can take up to 18 months to counteract the anhedonia. I pray for all addicts suffering worldwide. It is only through eachother that we find true strength. We must come together and forge the pathway ahead for our fellow man.

    As an addict in recovery in the US, this is painful to watch. Detox is painful enough with the use of comfort meds, in a clean bed with plenty of nutritious food. And staying clean after detox takes a huge shift to a more positive environment, and dedicated friends and family that support you. I can't imagine how bleak these people feel in a filthy rehab center, starving and forgotten. I know I personally would not have the ability to avoid going straight back to using after getting away from a place like that.

    It's so important that gouvernments are focusing on problems like addiction. We can never just tolerate it.

    God bless these people in Afghanistan. Unfortunately Drug withdrawal is something I have experienced too many times. Unless you have experienced it you can never truly understand how terrible it is. My worse experience was going through withdrawal locked up in a New Jersey jail where they give you absolutely nothing to help take away the pain and illness. You suffer in a small cell, can't sleep, can't eat, constantly experiencing an extreme amount of discomfort and that was a walk in the park compared to what the addicts in this documentary have suffered. May God bless them all

    We have a neighbor here that get addicted to drugs and because of that he got caught by the police and being jailed for almost 2years. When he go out from the prison a lot of things changed on his personality, he became more respectful person than before and and every Sunday he go to church. Every addict or bad people have chance to change they only need assistance an attention. Help them instead and don't ever abuse them cause they are also human like us

    As an American with an addiction to such for 15 years, I'd rather a Talichad hunt me down and force me into rehab and put me to work in something fulfilling.
