How Oxycontin Took Over My Life

- Опубликовано: 14 апр 2020
- Oxycontin/oxycodone took over my life. It started with just taking it with a friend in high school and escalated to wanting to do it more and more.
When an injury in football gave me a reason to get it legally from a doctor, all bets were off. I was off to the races with my own prescription. Because of the injury and untreated depression I was taking the oxy more than prescribed and taking it with alcohol.
This period of time made me become hooked and I needed it daily or else I would go into serious withdrawal. My habit and my addiction progressed to the point of using heroin...

I'm the wife of an opioid addict. I watch your videos for hope. 2 rehab trips, numerous jail cells and a nearly destroyed family have driven me to see seek ppl that made it out. Thank you... it's only Jesus and success stories that are helping me to understand that it's not personal and he's not purposely evil... he's simply sick.
Thank you Tanisha He can do it but its up to him the hard part for any family member of an addict is that you can't change him its totally up to him please take care of yourself I have seen addicts destroy their wives and kids with a 2 decades long addiction
Yes he's sick. I'm a recovering addict and it's all bc I hit my absolute bottom. I was 100% out of control and doing things that I would never in life be doing if I would have been sober and in my right mind. Hurting my family and friends 💔 was getting worse. Truthfully I don't remember a lot of my drug days,however, I'm a mother now and I'm a very loving, caring, mother and want the best for my children. Well the last several months of my addiction got so bad that I didn't remember being in my home with my children and I don't remember driving at times. Thank God my children were never in the car with me and people have always been in my life to step in when I got that bad. I was in prison for 5 yrs and I saw women who were in there that were under the influence and killed their own children, grandchildren, and others. I said I would never be in that position. I was to the point that I could have ended up driving with my children and wouldn't even have known it. I couldn't live with myself if I would have ever hurt my own kiddos, anyone at all.That woke me up and I got sober as soon as I found out some of the things I did. I had so much support and love. Addicts need that to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. People have to want it tho.we have to get to the point to where we are actually scared to use at all.I work with others who are struggling with addiction and it's very rewarding. I was in my addiction for 20 plus years and it was horrible. Honestly I shouldn't be here right now. I am tho and I have a reason and a purpose. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I pray for strength. Everyday we try to do better than the day before. 😊 He can do it. He has to want to get better. I didn't want to be alone and lose my family. Something inside me knew if I even considered using one more time I would be alone. No way. I stopped and it was rough but I used nothing for withdraw symptoms. Anxiety was off the chain. I did it. Anyone can.
He’s very lucky to have someone as supportive as you
You should look into ibogaine treatment for your husband.
life long heavy weed smoker, no alcohol some cocaine yrs ago but only weed for 20 yrs, i have 5ft of battle scar from prison, my jaw broken twice and my skull split, surgery on shoulder and elbow. so i understand pain ,but not the excuses.
Oxycontin got me too just like that. An occasional Vicodin Percocet or whatever then someone sold me 15 40mg oxycontins for $75. When those were gone I found myself at the pawnshop selling my favorite guitar and life got ugly. A sober life is the best life even if not a perfect or easy life.
You deserve way more views and subs ^^
Thanks Fabian!!!
Great story keep up the good work
I can’t imagine wanting to take this crap without a reason. I started taking it after shoulder surgery and hated it. I stopped after a couple of days. I can’t relate to dependence and addiction.
Good on you brother , respect...
Thanks Bill!!!!
@@Soberdogs. Huge respect 🫡.
Really like your videos, very informative & interesting
Glad you like them Cy thank you so much
This is how my bro got started on opiates was around 2006 or so a friend of his had OxyContin at a party he was already drinking and was into sports so he said no idk about that but tried it anyways. Said he felt like Superman. Obviously that was the start then lead to H. This is how it started for soooooo many people!
Yea for real. It the crazy sad truth. So many of us. That one little pill of oxy started the whole train
Yes it is absolutely the way it happened too me
Why the fuck are patients in US prescribed with powerful narcotic drugs for MINOR injuries? Back Here in Europe you can't legally get narcotic drugs from your doctor unless you have cancer or something similar, no way any doctor would prescribe you something so addictive for toothache or back pain. It seems to me US "healthcare" is deliberately producing junkies and addicts.
I can’t tell you how many vacations/events were tainted because I was focused on having or not having enough pills to make it through….so glad to be past that part of my life!
Side note I’m from Rochester too! Born and raised in Penfield..where were you at?!

Holy crap. Yea and all the extra cutting agents in there that’s crazy bad for you liver and stomach. Glad ur alive
Love your video, but the 03 04 era, there should’ve also been 160 mg oxy going around. I remember getting the 160’s they were oblong shape if I remember correctly:)
Hi from Oklahoma 💜💜
Oklahomaaaa what part?
@@Soberdogs Tulsa soon to be Broken Arrow(we just bought a new 🏡 and will be moving in a week or so)
Smoking the real oc 80s was my absolute drug of choice my first hit off that foil I thought where has this been all my life
The way it slides down the foil. So smooth. I had the same love
Loved smoking fent off foil, but had to let that feeling go, it’s the devil at work. I’m stabilized on suboxone now with 1 week clean from fent!
Isn't it scary the first time you get sick and the instant you get something in you BAM better? That was when I realized "I'm completely fucked"
Yup that’s such a good point. And that feeling of using when ur sick is addicting as wel. Cause it’s instant relief
Yes so fucked
Yep! Only I didn’t care at the time. I felt better. It wasn’t until after that next roller coaster dip that I thought about it. 🤦♀️
Well bro iam glad yr clean, keep up the good work...
Thanks Bill!!!!
Love these man
thanks william
Think he meant the 80s lol
I'm also from Rochester.
Dude I'm over here watching your video and you say "Rochester NY is where I'm from" dude I live in Rochester NY right now 😂😂😂 this is crazy lol
The same thing happened too me I was at work and had no idea it was withdrawing from the OxyContin I had consumed a 30 day supply in two weeks ,needless too say that never happened again
Good for you! That’s not a foregone conclusion.
Did u guys eat the 80 in half by chewing them or just swallowing the half of the OC with the coating on
They still do the 120mg oxys here in the UK. They are still the old type too, you can still crush them into powder unlike the Oxyneo They have in the USA.
Oxy was my DOC. 2003 was when I was first introduced to painkillers and taking drugs in general. December 2003. Started with 5mg vicodin and by January 2005 I was totally addicted and moved up to oxy 30mg. Misserable.
Me too bro and that doc knew what was happening
Damn. Did you eventually get off? How are things going now?
@@Soberdogs 5 years and 2 months clean and sober. I gave up on opiates for meth about 8 months before I gave up on drugs for good on 4/20/2022
It's hard to believe to the addict that if he quits there comes a time you aren't fighting an urge to use....I quit drinking...first six months I'd have been tempted to buy some liquor if I found myself in a liquor store...now I could work in one and never even dream of taking a sip despite being surrounded by alcohol...then I kicked pain pills...same thing...first six months I didn't trust myself to be near it or I might cave...now I could sleep on a bed of pain pills and never dream of using any...now that's the key...your not white knuckling...you truly don't want any even if it's free...if you handed me a handful of pain pills I'd immediately flush them...been there done that...dead end road every single case in history...opiates are undefeated...they destroy every time
Lol, even the dog reacted, that's so cute
Dude same thing. Basically first time serious WD I was in college and went on vacation and ran out. Got so sick, didn't even go home went right to my dealer of roxys. I didn't know I would get WD that bad. It was fucked
Those damn vacations. I mean I’m also glad I found out. I could have went a few more years and had no idea. Yea for sure. How did you get through it
@@Soberdogs Well my GF at the time was on spring break and was flying to St. John from NYC so I gave her like $1000 to get 50 Roxy's or something to bring. But we did em all fast I think we were doing like 10ish a day at that point. I seriously didn't know I would get WD, bc I just had never gone a day without doing it and still had money and stuff so I never not did it. Was young like 19 prob only on opiates daily for like 3 months. We just got through it sucked but like wasn't even close to as bad to WD from fent/heroin IV. We drank a lot to help as well. I remember feeling basically good on the flight back to VT. In hindsight I could have not picked up again and would've been detoxed...but yeah right that wouldve never happened lol!
They had 160mg OxyContin back in 2004 they were light blue oblong tablets with 160 printed on one side and OC other side.
thats fuckinh crazy
I never heard anyone say opiates were the best thing to happen to me. Or have they?
I popped a 40mg in HS my senior year for the first time and I got high AF, but I was fully functional.
Me tooo!
I hate drugs but I have small vessel stroke snd I need meds 😢
Great video :)
did you crush the 40 mg oxy the first time? Or did you just cut the 80mg so that you have 2x 40mg pills and swallowed it without crushing it?
First time I ate it. O boy was it a disaster. It destroyed me man. Lol. Not fun. Throwing up. Thanks for the support brotha. What bout u?
@@Soberdogs I did 15mg the first time but couldnt feel much at all except a little itch on my nose. I think here out in Germany the percs just trash hahah.
@@Soberdogs Do you know if these oxys that you did frst time were Instand release or extended release?
@@traplord9104 80mg oc’s are extended release
The first one I took I refused to snort it. And two hours later I was passed out in a mall parking lot.
You’d be really good at speaking at events/meetings.
You'd very good at presenting yourself at these events/meetings
Heres an old one for you, remember hearing about opanas? I think they were oxymorohine or soemthing.. i was 14 years old in 2010 and im not fonna say who, but someone introduced me to smoking weed, drinking, and then j saw him smoking ocs off tin foil and me beinf young dumb and curious i wanted to tey it and it was amazing. Fast forward after highschool i dabbled here and there wasnt really into anything, then i got cheated on.. i aterted deinkinf heavy. Then found a coke dealer, then started smoking work, then moved up to banging fetty. Overdosed my mom found me about dead jn the bathroom.. now i moved 1000 miles awah and im clean for ocer a year now
Aww back in the day when opioids where prescribed to people like candy! What a shame they don’t prescribe pain killers like that anymore😭😭😭
Strangely enough for me it didn't do anything. Tried 30mg back in the day and felt like I had taken a tiny dose of codeine such as taking a little sip of prescribed cough syrup or so
Fake pill most likely
Great movie to watch imho is Oxymorons. Independent film about OxyContin addiction & pharmacy robberies based on true story.
17 years old, 40mg oxys from a classmate at $5/per because he wasn't aware of the value. He gave me one for free, and I came back with $160 after railing it. The rest is history. Currently only using kratom and trying to build financial stability to afford OUD treatment.
Amazing that you nailed 40mg in one go at 17. Interesting we began the same way. I was quartering the 40mg pills and snorting every 4 hours, and even then, I was puking occasionally.
That would suck to be in withdrawal on vacation.. another great video🙃⭐ expensive addiction!
hahaha expensive thats the truth thank you for the support
@@SoberdogsI remember how many times I was on a withdrawal through my vacations... man that's crazy
Do u think I'll be able to recreationally use opioids once or twice a month with doses orally 20-30mg? I'm very well informed on other drugs and always do my research but this is a topic I don't see people not really talking about like I'm 100% surely gonna get addicted. I have oxy 80's a decent amount and been limiting my usage well and taking the dose at once everytime.
The definition of a slippery slope. Just stay away. Trust us
If you have constant access to real pharmaceutical painkillers, you will get addicted. You just really cannot understand how powerful the opioid family is for the human endocrine system. Even if all your perceived willpower wants to quit and you are dogshit miserable, you will cave in when your body aches and the biggest cravings EVER kick in. Imagine being a normal, well balanced human and by the end of the year choosing your fix over sex AND food. On top of that, you are tasked daily with coming up with pill money and the literal "wise" decision becomes switching to opiates on the street. Crazy. Just stop if you haven't had a taste.
However, your wishful thinking leads you to believe the ideal moderation is once a month. But it is really 0. Also assuming you have no actual pain ailments, sometimes that is a huge factor in continuing painkiller addiction as well.
No
Lol have fun becoming slowly addicted
I did it for years during my 20s never got addicted.....then in my 30s went through sme bad times still had access to them and wound up being physically dependent on them for 7 years I'm a month clean and it SUUUUCKED do what u want but it's def risky
Hey k n Jemma...xx
yea yea yea DEBB!!!!
🔥🙌🏾🙏🏽😍
YES YES YES preachhhhhhhhhhhh everyone should have a Narcan kit in their car.
There was a 160 mg pill for a while...
yea but it was never allowed in the US 80mg was the strongest in the US but your right i remember getting a 160mg in canada and being totally in shock
I was scripted to lovely 80 mgs OC's after my neck was fused. I had this monthly ritual of going to Lubbock for my pain management & pick up my meds. It was like having a long distance love affair, that's how much I loved the medication. It had to end some time, happy I'm alive to tell about it. I've taken Hydrocodone, HydroMorph & Oxycodone before. The namebrand OxyContin is the very best, you can tell the difference. To bad it was outlawed in the US, because of the gov't crackdown on poor Dr's. 😮💨
Kratom saved me
I have take 25mg Oxycodone it is nice high
It's such worn-out BS to keep hearing people talk about how narcotics 'took over my life', or how 'I discovered I had developed an addiction'. Everyone who dabbles in hard dope knows the odds: Once you acheive a really great high and like it, you're already on the ride to becoming a full time junkster. Its such a bad decision: Like sticking your hand in a bear trap to grab some sweet goodie, all the while knowing that there's over a 90% chance you'll be caught and stranded there in misery for a long time afterwards. This BS is so common: Even Keith Richards said his addiction in the 70s started as the result of him meeting some old bluesmen who told him to 'smoke a little of this, snort bit of that', blah blah blah. BS - Even since it was used as a painkiller in WW 1 with the result that alot of servicemen returned home addicted, people have known the danger of addiction with heroin. Right after that, the jazz cats got addiction problems, and Frank Sinatra made that movie 'The Man With the Golden Arm' about those stories. Everyone who gets addicted knows that's the result they are gambling with, and they go for it anyway. Maybe if you want to help people get sober, start by talking honestly about how people get addicted: You already know that if you try it for awhile and you like it, then you are going to become a junky. Then it happens and you feel so stupid about it that you cant even admit to your knowing, purposeful stupidity.
You’ve obviously never been there nor have had anyone you love addicted to opiate medicine- I hope- or you wouldn’t be taking about “dumb choices”
