I have an amazing support system from loved ones, a great job, and my beautiful husband and son!! Also I have my beautiful guardian angels looking down on me and I want to make them proud, I did not get this second chance at life to squander it away with by numbing myself with drugs so I don't have to feel the pain of losing them!! I have been grieving and have good days and bad but now my good days way out weigh my bad days now!! I can honestly say for the first time in many many years that I am happy and content with where my life is right now! Those are words i never thought I'd say again!! And now thanks to seeing how amazing you have done with your life, I know I can do even better and would like to help people with my story just as you did!!! You're amazing tracey, keep up the amazing work, you truly are an inspiration and such a beautiful woman!!!

I myself am I heroin addict working towards recovery. I have been on subtext for almost 2 years now, I got on it when I found out I was pregnant with my son and did not want to bring a child into the world on the many drugs I was using and abortion was no option, seeing as I thought I was not able to ever have children. So being pregnant and getting on the medication actually saved my life, becaude I truly do not believe I would be alive today if not for it and my beautiful son!! I also found out I had hep c while I was pregnant and began treatment shortly after I gave birth and can proudly say that I am cured thanks to my wonderful gastroenterologist, sovaldi, and riboviron treatment!! I have not used any illegal drugs since November 2nd 2014 and can proudly say that I do not want to!!! I know I can't technically say that I am 100% clean because I do take a medicine that keeps me "normal", but it is the best I have done since I was 15 years old, and I will be 30 in 3 short months!! It works for me, it keeps needles out of my arm and makes me the best mother and wife I can be at this moment! I go to NA once a week and coutselling 3 times a month and my long term goal is to be off subutex and living an abstinent life, but right now it's just one day at a time for me. I would get clean cold turkey over the years and would have 3 months clean, it was always 3 months, and I would think I could like reward myself with ano oxy or a bag of dope and just do it a few times and be done, only I would never be done and each time I did it, the addiction got a little worse every time! I've lied, cheated, stolen especially from loved ones, and had sugar daddies until I finally met someone I fell madly in love with and he and my brother were in methadone treatment and I went too for almost a year, then a monster we met there purposely caused a car accident and killed my brother, fiance, and best friend and almost myself, I was hurt badly but walked away with minor injuries so while I'm physically healing and so emotionally distraught I was also going through the worst detox of my life and just couldn't handle it and my addiction took a turn for the worse, I just wanted to die and be with them and almost succeeded several times! Then 4 years later I met my now husband and he did everything he could to save me; but I was a great liar and had learned to fool almost everyone to thinking i was okay until my baby came along and there was no hiding from that I knew I had to get better for him and then myself! Now after watching the documentary and seeing how far you've come for so long, I have so much hope that I too, can beat this, and eventually won't even need the help from the subutex!! Thank you for that hope tracey!!!

A couple of days ago the film showed up in the startpage of my youtube so I watched it again. After I was wondering what had happened to the girl with the most beautiful eyes. I'm so glad to see her become a woman and such a fighter. <br />Many years ago I was using alcohol to cope with the world. When I took that away my world was falling apart so I had to scrape myself together again. I think I have managed it soo far but my best friend wasn't as "lucky". She worked as a registered nurse and was using heavy painkillers and alcohol. Even though I had stopped with my alcohol intake I was in a way helping her with her addiction. She died from that and I was in the hospital with her when she passed. This was seven years ago and I miss her soo much. I have had a really hard time forgiving myself for letting her go on with her lies to everyone around and to herself. <br />I usually doesn't comment in blogs but this time I really needed to comment and I wan't you to know the thankfullness I felt when I found your blog, Tracey. You are a very strong, brave human with the most beautiful eyes. I'm sorry if my english is a bit strange, I'm from Sweden.<br />Regards JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6971965211310107060.post-5802592174932108562016-02-26T22:02:22.948-08:002016-02-26T22:02:22.948-08:00Congratulations Tracey!!
