I was apart of the show on april 11,2008 about addictions I was just wondering how are the ladies now that were addicts? Did they complete treatment, did they go back to there old ways?

Tyra,

I'm in my forties and lately I've been very disappointed with the music I have to listen to. I've been speaking about this matter with some friends and realize several of them feel the same way. I was on my computer a couple of weeks ago and discover this artist name REAL on sankofarecords.com. REAL is truly the rebirth of great music, his music is so needed. I feel that his music will change the standards of what good music is. REAL sings about life, a life I can relate to.

Dear Tyra,
Thanks for so much for doing a show on addictions. Even though I got a glimpse of the show I really felt that I connected to the feelings and things people shared on the show and I know how it feels to be in that same situation. I used to cut myself but I had to stop; its was adding more drama to my life. Even though I went through therapy and I had the "talks" with people I still cant get away from my suicidal mindset and my anorexic problem. Everyday that goes by hurts more and more. I hate myself but in spite of how I feel I keep a smile on and try to put on a front to my friends to make it seem like I'm okay. I'm only 16 and I feel like I dealt with so much. I feel that I'm on a breaking point and the more I live the more I feel insecure about myself and point out all of the bad things about myself. In all reality your show and the Addiction show has helped me view life in a different way. I not over my addictions but Im getting through them.
Thanks again Tyra!!
Love always,
Mercedes

Tyra, i have no idea if you even read these but i just really wanted to tell you that the episode that you did about addictions was such a good thing. i am 19 and a freshman in college i have been cutting since my 8th grade year and i still struggle with cutting everyday. i try and set goals of how long i want to not do it but i never seem to make the goal. i have cut everyday for the past month because i had given up trying to stop. things didn't begin for me the way the did for the girls on your show but i wanted to tell you how thankful i am that you did that show because it has made me realise that i can't give up and let cutting win and lose my life because of it. i am going to start trying again.... thank you

Tyra,

I just checked out this artist named REAL at sankofarecords.com. It was the best musical experience I've had in a long time. He has such a powerful voice, filled with so much soul and I just love his rugged looks.

G-I-R-L YOU NEED TO HAVE HIM ON YOUR SHOW, SO THE WORLD CAN BE BLESSED WITH HIS GREATEST.

I've been watching Intervention for at least two years now. It's a very eye-opening program. The first time I watched a heroin addict I realized there was a girl who was defenitely a heroin addict in my own class. It's very educating. Certainly makes me not want to do drugs even more!

Hello Tyra,
I watched your show the other day about the addictions and it was like looking at myself in a mirror. I can relate to the young girl that was cutting herself. It was so hard for me to watch that particualr episode because it hit home for me. I am 22 yrs. old and I have been a cutter for 4 yrs. now and it something that I still struggle with and fight everyday of my life. I have cut myself so many times that I have ran out of room of cutting. I now cut over cuts that I had previously done. It was so bad at one point to where I would cut myself 30 times a day, every day. I am lucky to be alive because I have cut every one of my veins and I am still here. If I don't cut myself its like I am going through withdrawals. My mother found out last year that I was cutting myself but she doesn't know that I am still a cutter. At the same time I use to be anoxeric and bulemic. I was able to fight and control the anoxeria and bulemia and I have been good now for 11 months. I have tried to fight this on my own but it's so much more bigger than I am at this point that I can't stop. I feel that cutting is something that has taken over my life. I no longer have the strength or will power to stop on my own.

Tyra thanks for being such an inspirational, encouraging, uplifting role model. Your a great example for young women. Keep doing what your doing.

I'm not in any situation to stop someone from their addiction,therefore, I live in a homeless shelter with addicts. I'm in constant verbal battle with one of the residents alcohol problem. For some reason this person thinks that he/she is in control!
It's been an interesting living experience because I'm not addictive.

Tyra i saw the show about addiction on 4.11.08 and i just wanted to let you know that yeah these women had horrible addictions but along with cutting i was BURNING myself! I think you should talk more about the down low addictions people have! Thank you.

Dear Tyra,

I have been fortunate enough to listen to your show on a few occasions, and being an avid fan, I find your shows to be so uplifting and entertaining. Over the last couple years I've had the pleasure of knowing a truly awesome and exemplary individual. This person exemplifies spirituality, humility, love, heartfelt goodness and god-given talent. Howard, as he is known to his friends, has been described as a genuine and "real" brother, which all to well explains the foundation of his stage name - REAL.

With your appreciation for good music, REAL's music exudes that sweet, infectious "old school" feel, coupled with good lyrics that deal with true love, relationships and togetherness....the good stuff. I know this is someone that you can truly appreciate. REAL's music reintroduces that soulfulness of the 70s and 80s that has become synonymous with such musical icons as Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, Al Green and Barry White. He has mentioned time and time again, that his primary influences have always been the masters of Soul, Jazz and R&B, such as Otis Redding, Miles Davis, Jackie Wilson, Duke Ellington, Gladys Knight and the Dells, just to mention a few.

I know that having REAL on your show would definitely be a wonderful experience for you, as well as your viewers/listeners. He is all and more than I have described, and it would be a privilege for him to be a part of your show, so you can have the opportunity to get to know the person, as well as listen to some of his soulful vocalizations. REAL’s talents are not just limited to that of a vocalist, it is also prevalent in his abilities as an established songwriter. He has written all of his songs to date, and you are invited to listen to some of his wonderful debut releases which are now posted on www.myspace.com/sankofarecords and are receiving an overwhelming response. However, should you require any further information, please view his website at www.sankofarecords.com

We thank you for this opportunity, as we wish you continued success.
