The Worst Things I've Done In Addiction & Moving Forward
Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease of the mind. Throughout the course of our addiction we inflict a lot of pain on not just ourselves, but onto other people. The shame we accumulate over time doesn't need to dictate the outcome of our lives.

Smoking Crack & The Insanity That Comes With it
Просмотров 8 тыс.Месяц назад
This video shares my experience of smoking crack and living on the streets of New York City. I discuss the physical sensation of smoking crack and provide a brief overview of the challenges I've encountered while being homeless. Addiction is a serious issue, and I want to emphasize that I'm not trying to diminish its gravity. I apologize for the somewhat cheesy intro; I'm actively striving to m...
Heroin Addiction: First Time Skateboarding Again!
Просмотров 1642 месяца назад
I stepped on a skateboard for the first time in many years. I used to skateboard for 8 years before I started injecting heroin. This message is one of positivity. Pay attention to the world around you because it's not all that bad. It's important to practice gratitude and try and find the beauty in the small things we sometimes take for granted. My heart goes out to everyone. #storytime #addict...
Drug Addiction: Shooting Heroin For The First Time
Просмотров 34 тыс.2 месяца назад
Every heroin addict can remember the first time they used heroin. Our first time is often the most memorable because we never experience that same feeling again. Our lives become a mission to chase that first high we got. I also touch on the selfishness of drug addiction, the impact it's had on loved ones, and where I'm at today. #addiction #raw #storytime #recovery
Dealing With Hate Comments: You Are Untouchable!
Просмотров 583 месяца назад
There are many people looking to put others down in order to take the focus off of themselves. It's easier said than done, but try and remember how short our time here on earth is. Don't waste your time worrying about what others have to say about you unless it's coming from a place of care and concern. #selfimprovement #recovery #motivational
Fentanyl: Stop Gambling With Your Life!

In this video, I reveal bits and pieces of what I used to look like while I was addicted to fentanyl. People are dying at such a fast rate from this drug and I'm emotionally exhausted from losing people. #selfimprovement #addiction #fentanyl #recovery
Being Single Is Better: Learn About YOU First
Просмотров 1133 месяца назад
Being single on Valentine's Day isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sure, you may be hurting, thinking about past loves, or upset because you're single, but this can also be a blessing. Being single allows us to focus on becoming our best selves for when the right one comes along. Everyone makes mistakes; nobody is perfect. Perfection does not exist. Having fewer distractions and more time for yours...
If You Live In NYC, You're Going to See Some Crazy Sh*t

As someone who has witnessed a lot of insanity over the years, this memory sticks out the most because of how everyone around me reacted. As I was laughing, my eyes were scanning the subway car seeing all the different looks of disgust and outrage on peoples faces. #storytime #nyc #subway #homeless #funny

    One blaze we all had there was a dozen of us round a mates house I was around 25 and I’d bought the most! I bought two 50 stones and by the end of the night I was so spun and tweeking off my nut my mate Ben who’s dead now was desperate for another hit and I had some left in my sock and I threw it at him and said smoke up and I left in the morning at around 5am and I had work at 6, put it this way I never made it to work I was so anxious off my head rocking under a cover on my sofa thinking shit man this is the end! I continued to smoke crack on and off until I was around 40! Moral of the story do not smoke crack/meth it will ruin you!

    Can see the pain on your face. I’ve been addicted to opioids since I turned 19 and I’m 26 now. Kicked it off and got heartbroken and went right back to it. Been on it for 5 years straight now, I’m hoping and praying I get off it permanently before I’m 30. It’s hard to imagine a life without it. Wishing you the best in your recovery

He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

      @@RecoveryTalk everyone knows how to get high but very few know how to change. In the old days very few people had tattoos. Now everyone has them. That’s how drugs are now. People have always been using but now it’s in the open. Everyone knows a junky or someone who’s died from the illness. How many people know someone who has changed and how they did it? That I think would be something people would be interested to know about. We don’t decide how we react to drugs. We don’t decide how we react to sobriety either. And if you have addiction it’s less about the drugs and more about having a rough time just living free. Where the reference point is life and what we can bring to it.

    I shot heroin and then fentynal was the only thing around so I got dependent on it, after heroin, for 19 years. Heroin isn't around anymore. Collapsed all my veins after the first 4 years then skin popped and muscled. Still ha e over 80 healed holes as a nasty reminder. Went through everything a junkbox can go through. Was on subs 5 years. Been on methadone for 12 years since 2012. Down to 50 mgs from 120 mgs. Took me 9 months. Now getting sick on the taper. I want to be off this garbage methadone. Stopped doing cocaine and weed on June 4th 2009. Quit smoking cigarettes on October 9th 2009. Quit drinking arpril 7th 2021. Had fatty liver and was drinking a fifth a day. The dts were bad. Stopped shooting fent on April 21st 2023. Xzylazine was in the scamble. Was sick for 1 month, even on methadone . Now tapering off methadone. The only thing im dependent on now is the methadone, and coffee. Im also on 2 meds for psoriasis and psoriasitic arthritis.

    I'd like to have all the money back that I spent on crack and cocaine. I'd be a rich man! I've made a lot of money in my life, and I'd say I probably spent over 200 grand on drugs. I do not miss that lifestyle in the least bit! I'm very relieved that it's over, and extremely lucky to be alive. I'll tell you this though, believe it or not, for the 20+ years that I did it, I never one time spent a night in jail, never give my parents a rough time over it, never stole anything to get it, but I spent many times lying in my bed, begging God to take away the pain. Don't do drugs kid's! You may not be as lucky as I am.
