    Two years sober from crack. Found a bag of coke under the seat. Laughed and put it down the sink drain and didn't give it a second thought. Keep up the good fight, brother.

    While my addiction isn't for any substance, I can still relate to a lot of your videos.
    I'm praying and hoping that you, me and anyone else are freed from these 'hooks' in us that are trying to drag us back down.
    Keep on being an example of positive momentum and recovery!

    You’re absolutely correct. Going clean was the most selfish decision I had to make because it was for me and that was the only way I could get away. Just like you I removed myself from the negative environment and those that brought that negativity. I don’t hate my old friends I just had to move on

    Amazing! I am so glad when your shorts come through my feed. It takes me a second to realize to stop and listen. I have gotten past addictions but my sister struggles with alcohol. Everyone in my family has tried to help but she hasn't come to the realization that only she can change it.
    I am so happy for you and all the people who have changed themselves. It is a struggle but all worth it. Keep it up and keep telling your story: it will keep helping people.

Already on methadone but this new dope has me withdrawing when I miss a dose , even though I’m on 110mg methadone.. all I can do is keep pushin

    I was going through a divorce I didn't want she ran away with the kids and my living situation went belly up I was in a drug hotel back and forth to work every day 12 hours a day for 5 weeks before my apartment was ready. On one particular bad day on my way up the hall, there it was. A bag of dope just laying there free for the taking. I picked it up. I thought about it.... but that shit got emptied into a puddle. Stay strong, my friend. There are better days ahead of you

    My brother speedballed and died. Would have loved to see him grow up to be a good man, maybe have a family, participate in family events, go on camping trips, be an awesome uncle. So many things could have been so good but drugs were the one thing that got in the way of having good things. Not only for him but also for us, the rest of the family.

    Yeah, but bro the biggest challenge I find, is trying to separate myself from the lifestyle but my income being based off of it. I literally have to have substances around me to survive , and get by financially rn. Only thing keeping me from fucking up , is having such a massive tolerance that. I won’t even take the script Roxy 20s I flip because it’s literally just a waste of money, I took 10 a few years ago and felt nothing so I haven’t taken them sense. So even tho I have a lot of oxy around, I don’t take it, I see it solely as money. Only reason I even do dope still is because the withdrawals.It’s in my possession, and I make off with some $ and a free bag, but I legitimately use less than I use to and only to keep myself not being sick, and this stuff is so strong my 110mg daily dose of methadone isn’t enough to keep me from withdrawing from the fent/nitazene dope. Idk what to do because the same symptoms that brought me to get on methadone is now happening but I’m on a pretty high dose…
