My Ex Boyfriend Was Found Dead To An Overdose.

This video was filmed and posted on November 24, 2020. I was on a very high milligram of methadone and I have since gotten off MAT. I’ve gotten so many hateful comments on this video to date (January 2025) about how I’m not in recovery and how I was high in this video. Those comments were absolutely disturbing to me, so I disabled the comments.. especially because I am sitting here talking about a serious trauma that happened to me. When I see this video I see a person early in recovery struggling so hard to maintain said recovery. When I see this video, I see somebody that escaped trafficking, prostitution, drug addiction, homelessness, and detroit. I see a person who has a long journey of healing ahead. I see a person who is lucky to be alive.  Little did I know my body had side effects from methadone. Such as fevers, upset stomach, and other symptoms. It served its purpose of helping me get off illicit Substances, and not crave them but the side effects of the medication were also really bad on me personally. I dosed off MAT on May 26, 2021 and I have maintained my recovery ever since. Even experiencing more loss than I already had. This girl that you see in this video who some of you say is high, is exactly who she needed to be at the exact time she was, for her to be who she is today. I do not regret one bit of my story and if you want to judge it, that just shows the type of person you are but to comment on a video that’s five years old about somebody being high is on a whole new level of ignorance.  Sam and I were dating for years up until he passed away and I had 2 choices sink or swim and I chose to swim. Even though there has been a lot of sharks in my water (haters in my comments) I have made it out to the other side of the lake. Never has it ever occurred to me to comment on somebody’s post whether or not they look high. Never has it ever occurred to me to blatantly attack a woman who is clearly struggling about a traumatic situation she decided to share with the Internet. I will not apologize for the way I look at this video because the way I look in this video is the reason I am where I am today. #detroit #recoveroutloud #overdoseawareness #endthestigmaofmentalhealth #mystory
