      @righteousmonkey  8 месяцев назад +16

      I feel you Jesse, I totally get it. My entire opiate addiction started with a dang 5mg Vicodin pill (Watson). I climbed up the opiate pill ladder and after 2 years I went to heroin. Fast forward 13 years after several detoxes, jail, rehabs, and eventually prison, now I’m on methadone as well. I tried subs but failed that program 3 different times. Methadone is the only thing that’s gotten me off heroin and stopped me from committing petty crimes just for some dope money.
      So I totally understand where you’re coming from brother. You’re not alone. Thanks for stopping by and sharing a little bit about yourself. 🙏🏽 - Daniel | RighteousMonkey

      Now after 10 years methadone I have control of my behavior, no law trouble in a decade, money in my accounts , I’ve learned to day trade, I renovated an entire house top to bottom to learn all of the skills, I have a big garden every single year, I’m saving for my own land which I pretty much have enough now thanks to trading.. yes methadone has its downside, but to me and any sane person my life on methadone is fucking paradise and it’s always important I never ever forget why..

      Great video..
      A lot of people have the answers.. but is this a spiritual problem that requires a solution?
      True powerlessness is a hard one to swallow.. cannot or will not?
      What happens when you can't?
      Can't buy it, can't work hard enough to "get" it or earn it. On the streets or off.
      In the works or not.
      Funny how they say the further down you are the more hope there is.
      When you come to the end of yourself and all that is in you to pull yourself up is gone.
      Closest thing to possession I have ever seen. What would he or anyone trade for a normal day that doesn't hurt? I'll bet he'd trade anything, I know I would.
      Praying for Zach
