Mom can't fight the beast so she feeds the beast?
the mother is a big part of the problem, she needs to stop supporting her habit
when’s the new season coming out?
what horrible parents to not protect her from this abuse, then not accept her for being who she is as liking girls. shame on the parents. born into a bad environment. strong girl. god bless.
I feel so very bad for people who are stuck on drugs I'm glad I don't do them 🙏🙏🙏
The hug with Sylvia when she wanted to leave brought tears to my eyes
Rip karissa ❤️😘
Love Sylvia
"Ty-ah lee-yinn ty-idd" talented
R.I.P Karissa Hilts ❤️
Anybody who has 1400 a week to spend on heroin gets no sympathy from me. There's people with real problems out here actually struggling.
She needs to be on the Vivitrol shot!!
8:05; "you don't know when tonight will be the night she dont wake up." You think she cares?
God bless you, girl. Star strong and believe in and love yourself.
I remember Sylvias episode. She was a bad alcoholic. She has came such a long way. Recovery is possible but sure not easy.
RIP Karissa
I can cook anything" Then why pend $1400 a Week " When you can cook it ? "
We had this lady who is a heroin addict at the kitchen I worked at we would find her face-down in the scallops when she was prepping. She had two seizures in the middle of dinner service and ambulance had to come and take her away.
Yoo next time im in new York I'm going to this restaurant
Omg I’m glad to watch Sylvia in this episode 💕
Nothing made me cry in this episode, except when Sylvia gave Karissa that genuine embracing hug, and she accepted it 🩷
Opiate addiction is such a strong beast! It's very very VERY hard to overcome. I commend people who can do it and stick to it 🩷
Good job Karissa you're a warrior😎
I am so happy Sylvia has been sober this long honestly. She was one of the first interventions that made me cry. But when I tell you I almost cried when I read “overdosed” about karissa oh my god I am SO happy she’s alright now. ❤❤
Towards the end of my addiction I would not get high no matter the amount I used. 100 to 1000 and still same results I would be well enough to be functional to search for more.
7 yrs free of all chemical substances that held my life for far too long.
Recovery is possible if your wanting it.
Karissa you are beautiful and you can do this don’t ever give up on the amazing life you deserve to have without drugs and live your best life ❤❤❤❤
I'm in recovery as well & idk how anyone can function doing H. I lost so many jobs bc of my addiction & so much of it is garbage. Now i lost my cousin & best friend & soooo many other friends died of a drug OD. It's simply not worth it.
Her mom is enabling her by giving her $. What is wrong with u mom??? Keep saying no. Them drugs she is buying with you're $ could be the last time she ever uses. She could die of an OD. I wish the mom would think & be a better mom.
I hate how she blames her abuser for ruining her life doing drugs is a choice blaming your trauma is not taking accountability for your actions why doesn't every SA victim do drugs. It's BS
Man.. how do parents let their kids get so far off track? It's crazy
$1400 a week!? Her plug hit the jackpot
Hard to believe Karissa passed away 🙁
Carissa will NOT be able to stay clean mark my words she will be chasing the dragon 🐉 b4 you know it.
Beautiful Karissa past away on March 8th 2017 due to a hit and Run accident in Florida. 💔❤️💔
