I Had No One Left l Jordan's True Story of Addiction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- During his childhood, Jordan not only suffered from depression, anxiety and OCD but was also molested by a neighbor at the age of 5. In high school, his mother was diagnosed with cancer and died a few days after she was considered to be in remission. Her death caused Jordan to develop a strong resentment towards God. He turned to opioids, weed, and drinking to fill the void. In college, His addiction took a turn for the worse - he began using heroin, was becoming increasingly violent and frequently manipulated his father into giving him money so he could buy drugs. Years went by with him going in and out of rehabs, stealing so he could get loaded and attempting suicide to end the pain. It was when he was homeless and completely alone that he was finally ready to make a lasting change.

These videos keep me sober. Thanks!
God bless u
Same here.. although its only been a week. I'm trying. I want to go to NA. But don't know how. Currently doing it alone
@@DrHen-xd3rv I hope you're doing okay and keeping you in my prayers ❤️
Thank yoi. I have doing great
Kevin Kerbs me too
I wonder if those voices screaming at me, telling me I'm worthless will ever leave.
Brad Beasley it will one day
only if u want them to. the only person who can make your life better is YOU. take that as you will my friend.
Face those voices - maybe you'll find out what's behind it all
Speaking for myself only: The voices in my head are always present. Sometimes it’s debilitating, and sometimes it’s manageable. It depends on how much energy I put into spinning myself out of control with deprecating self-talk. The only thing I have found to alleviate this is time clean/sober & esteem-able acts. DM me anytime brother!
Addiction makes you loose your loved ones. Makes sure you put them into consideration before getting yourselves involved. I love you guy
crazy this channel doesn’t have more subs!!!!
L L it’s prob because RUclips monetizes any videos that aren’t “family friendly”...
He looks really good now
Have you seen...him... before this?
Sometimes it is really in the most downside of our life that we realize how much God still loves us. Proud of you Jordan, you will be blessed more beyond measures.
Glad you get inspire with our stories.
His childhood went in so much trouble. Loss of mother at early age made him quite unstoppable towards drugs and sorts of addiction.
Glad you get inspire with our stories.
I had no one left addiction or not that line is so relatable. Even I have said that throughout my life countless times until now. I know people say its not true but at times you have to face that on your own and figure it out.
It sounds like you have gone through a lot of pain during your life. However, your words about recovering are very inspiring and I'm sure they'll touch any people.
Being alone as a child or teenager is a problem. If not properly managed, it can lead to doom.
This is emotional in nature. You have really gone through a lot . Though you found solution and you are now an overcomer.
You are a brave soul. If i were on your foot, i would have end my life instead. Good thing you fought... Keep on fighting!
You can do it!
Writing emotion can difficult but the way overcome the bad days really encouraging. May god you strength to you. best wishes!!
You are my friend guy, I love how you fought and won. Live is very beautiful without drugs.
A very sad and inspirational story. Jordan I thank God for your life and the will to be sober. Stay strong.
Loneliness isn't good. It should be avoided by all means.
This is a very disheartening story. You can't blame about how his childhood experience was. But it still a good thing that he found a way to turn his bad life stories into good moving forward.
Absolutely!
This is very sad story actually, it's seem Jordan lose everything since he was a child. I'm happy to see that guy can recover.
Wow. This is so tough and touching. Really glad he got help.
You are a
wonderful human being, I admire you greatly . You went through trauma and unspeakable loss, of course you self medicated, anyone would after experiencing the losses you suffered. You should now have reasonable self esteem because you have made good decisions in recent years and have grown into a truly amazing person. May you have a rich, fulfilling life. You have earned it!
These type of stories are really very much inspirational for all of people should learn from these type of mistakes.
We hope many people get inspired with his story.
This is inspiring. I'm glad you found and recoverd yourself. Never say never.
Absolutely!
Thank you for sharing your story. I am thanking God for your miracle.
Detoxtorehab cares and that has been proven over and over again. Keep up with the good work 👍🏾
Yes! Thank you!
This is like of an heroes, am sober and learn in it.
I can only imagine how hard it must have been to cope for Jordan with such adversity from a younger age. I'm so glad he got in touch with spirituality and moral principles and was able to make a full recovery.
We are so proud of him.
Jordan you really are a true hero. It's so so so hard to do recovery on your own. To Decide, enough is enough i'll just give it my all. I hope you stay clean. What a wonderful bride to be you've got there. Keep her really close and never let her go! Wish you all the best !
It's a sad one to hear that earlier on no one cared about your welfare how you feel. That's devastating indeed, no one will ever feel better when those who suppose to care about him put em aside to face loneliness.
It is really sad to hear this kind of stories. Instead of helping him, he was molested. He should have been properly taken care of. The good thing is, He is now sober and on his way to good life.
We are so proud of her.
Very tragic story, I'm so happy for your road on recovery (!)
I love these videos because you can see what this person has gone through in their eyes, face, and body language. Shows like intervention were very triggering in my early sobriety but these put you face to face with not just an “addict” but a human being who is healing.
Thank you for sharing, keep up the good work and let god take the wheel, his will, 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this, you're really strong.
I appreciate that!
Love the videos they help me stay away from addiction
We're happy to hear that, Lorenzo!
God, I want to give this guy a hug! I'm happy to know he's heading the right direction.
MikasaScarlett I’ll accept an internet hug! Thank you
@@jordanmcgrath5405 you're such a wonderful human being! I love your story and it really touched my heart, you deserve all good things in the world Jordan! I am personally not an addict but I swear everyday I try to love the people around me and strive to be a better person, your story reminds me of those goals. I hope you're staying safe during these difficult times. 2020 really sucks. Much hugs and love from Canada! And never forget that you are worthy and your life has meaning!!!❤❤❤❤

Drug addiction is terrible but I love it when a guy says "I'm done with this"..you made the right decision and I hope other drug addicts will follow suit

Your a brave man Jordan and to take it upon yourself to get well despite beinv alone I'm happy for you. Though you have experienced a huge amount of pain and trauma in your like still it did not hinder you to go on. Keep strong and rise above your addiction.
Couldn't agree more!

I’m super happy that you found Your higher power in Jesus Christ! While that may be your journey, Jesus might not be the answer for all. Keep in mind that using that verbiage can be exclusive for some out there struggling with the higher power concept. Thank you for your encouraging words and bless you!
God loves you. Drugs doesnt change that. Hes always there when you need him. A relationship with Jesus christ is key.
Jesus Christ wasn’t the answer for me, but I’m glad you found your spirituality through that particular sect. Thank you for sharing your experience.
If anyone is struggling with the Higher Power concept. You can chose Jesus... or anything that you feel a spiritual connect to. There isn’t a one size fits all for this stuff.
Its crazy when you come to the realization that your not a victim, it's scary when you realize what being a victim is not.
THIS!!!!! If anyone reads these comments... this is HUGE! Thank you
I would recommend the book:
“Breaking Free from the Victim Trap: Reclaiming Your Personal Power”
By Diane Zimberoff
this guy would be a great TV weatherman
That’s a first! Thank you
Drug addiction leads to loneliness and unhealthy practices which we are injurious to one's development. People should desist from it to charge the bad act.
Thank you for sharing. God bless you///
barta andel thank you!
Keep up the great videos guys!
I was an addict for years. Poor family life growing up no electric food. Step father alcoholic and addict. Molested as a young girl. My father was still married and living with his wife whe. i was born. I got taken away from my mom at 8 moved in with dad and wife then with my dads much older daughter and her husband. only norlmacy I knew my in that part of my young life. I had some emotional and behavioral issues because of my past. My b-I-l had a heart attack they made me go back to my moms. I felt thrown away and abandoned again. Started having sex at 13 smoking pot drinking hanging out. I got raped by 5 guys and 1 time. Skipping school. Moved in with abusive bf at 13 was 5 yrs older. Beat me almost everyday multiple times and raped for 6 yrs. Emotional trauma. Made me quit school. Moved me out of state twice. I tried to go to a teacher for help at one point when she saw huge bruise on my leg I was told you girls gonna learn not to let these boys do this to yall. I felt so alone and helpless. I would beat on walls at our apt for help. No one ever acknowledged me. Finally at 19 he finally let me go left me for soneone else. I got involved with a guy got married ended up getting on drugs heavy going to jail. I left him and ended up on heroin at that point it was totally down hill. Ended up homeless living on the street a prostitute. More physical abuse and raped. At 33 I met someone who gave me a chance to change my life. I now own my own home 2 cars paid for work for myself. 3 furbabies I love to pieces. A fiance. Lifes so differnt today. I'm living a life I only thought was a dream for me. I really thought I would die in my addiction. I still struggle with low self esteem and self worth but I try my hardest to just push forward. 7 yrs later I'm clean and living a life I never had. Addiction isnt easy. I've heard people say addicts are lazy and just like getting high. I've found that to be anything but the truth. Being an addict is exhausting mentally emotionally and physically. Loving the "normal" life is easy. You do to work everyday come home to your own house and your own things. God is good and I will be forever grateful to Him for saving me.
I can say that the addiction can ruin your life, including your family. Critics may happen to you even though you change your life because of the addiction in may substances like in smoking and illegal drugs.
Addiction can make you loose all your loved ones leaving you alone to face the difficult life. So I won't advice doing drugs of any type.
He's handsome
Thank you! I’m blushing
In the description they go from naming him Jordan to Jason like 4 times
Welcome to my life smh...
Oxycodone for having tonsils removed? I had both adenoids and tonsils removed at 5. I don't recall being in such a pain to require narcotics after the operation o.O. Crazy Americans use narcotics for any pain.
I don't think you'd remember much from age 5, let alone what medication you were given. But, I agree, that was probably not the best thing for him to have been prescribed. Us crazy Americans were given these drugs by doctors, unaware of repercussions. Drs were mislead about dangers of prescribing opioids as well. The pharmaceutical industry is the real devil behind all of this, but more drs should have been skeptical about prescribing opioids for so many different things as well.
Blackiesun- My tonsils were so large that my adenoids never developed. I still have giant craters where they were taken out (~15 years later). My ENT stated that one of my tonsils was the largest she had removed, and it wouldn’t even fit in the jar. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that the older you get the more painful this procedure becomes, but I’m not certain that’s factual. Anyways... I didn’t know anything about opioids at this time, nor did I ask the Dr. for painkillers. They were just prescribed to me. 10mg oxycodone every 4 hours for ~2 weeks. Thank you for your accusatory & negative remark... just because your experience was different doesn’t make it false. I’m guessing you’re from the UK huh?
Thanks for your remarks AOB, glad you can understand! God bless brother!
Great ,until you had no left but you could and sober,even like don't have hope but you succesfully out from addiction
Exactly!
i hate ppl say that youre wasting it... like wtf? thats never made me wanna use differently. ur wasting it like that, like so what... idk i have money im functioning so
you get a much better high with a needle
You’re wasting it...
nobody:
drug addicts: "somehow i graduated high school"
ROFL
I seriously cannot believe how creepy as shit, the details of your story and how similar to my own story, except for my birth mom is alive, however I am from Boise, lds family, had a baby out of wedlock at 20 I turned 21 in county jail4 months later and my baby was forcibly given up for adoption, except for I was clean from hard drugs well all drugs aside from smoke, at 25 I left her dad, and I fought for our baby for 22 months and seriously don't have any concerns or questions about the parts of what is exactly where responsibility for the ultimate end result regarding the events that are responsible for the end result resulting in a case for a broken weed bong that had no female stem, and it weighed more than my 388 day old baby did. I had worked 15 doubles in a row and it was my first morning home, u could say we were having a really good time taking it slow that morning and it's irrelevant the fact is the result being I did what the court asked me to do with the cost being I have not been allowed to see my child in March it'll be 11 years. I can honestly say from this entire video I was struck by was the no grey area u said u do rescue right? I don't know how anyone else feels regarding the seriousness of the moral obligation as a human being who can help anyone u see within arms reach who's hurting and it'll be a part of the things that keep others having hope to keep on keeping on to ensure your willingness to be of service to your fellow human beings related and other wise, it should not be a we as in u don't need to live everyday high, u may not have had a clue what your problem was, what u needed, and what u could of been doing for your own betterment, but didn't feel like it, and I will say this life is beautiful when u open your eyes and it's not relevant to me at all if u are sober or not I have experience with dbags on a multifarious levels of both sides in the war on drugs and it's code for a war on the diseased and burdening eye sore, the population of our fellow humans who are getting us dirty with their poor! No thanks! Not even close to being who has the job of making sure I expect anything to take my advice, and I don't exclude the same ones I don't like,trust, and who suck, but I have an wavering desire to be able to make sure anyone else knows how difficult to know if birds of a feather, well here's the thing.... a dbag, on or off, drugs............ still a total dbag right? Might give it time to appear if fresh from an institution but just give it time I can tell u with no doubt in my mind it's rarely drugs and addiction responsible for the garbage we need a war to save the smidgen of humane integrity and dignity and respect and educate the same oppressing generations who are still working to insure addicts are labeled criminal as well when it's not a criminal problem it's everybody's problem it's all someone else until it's not like you saying how great life and how much easier u have when u are square I'm so convinced! But I won't lie I'm more than likely not going to be able to live up to your living standard of living loaded and honestly does it matter or not or do u want to be selective about who you have to do the same to make sure you are not adding more weight on anyone else only subtracting the parts u know how heavy and the way to lighten their lives struggle with not expecting anyone else to find joy or hope for the best parts of this life to be while they have to be cold Stone sober! U might have learned the lesson every single human being living right now isn't being taught, or they don't care, and it's so simple DON'T Be A DICK! If u turn into a dick when drunk or on drugs it's only your responsibility to make sure you are not going to be turning yourself into a dbag cause only u can say no to douche baggery! I'm not even kidding in the slightest!
