So grateful for everything I have now.

A nice house. All bills paid. I have my KIDS full time. A decent job. Fines paid. And I don't ever have to wake up dope sick again.

After 15 years of being a slave to the substance, these 11 months have felt incredible. A little overwhelming at times but it's so worth it.

Lots of you know me on here but I don't talk about my private life much.

No shame in my game, I'm so proud of myself.

To ANYONE struggling with substance abuse. Please message me if you need anything. Recovery is SO possible, and is the best feeling in the world..

Pictures below;

First one is right before I overdosed last February on oxy that was laced with fetanyl. I stopped breathing shortly after this was taken. And other picture is me sober.

Very impressed with your inner strength to seek a way out, make the transition and feel you can share.

You have every right to feel proud and boast about it.
 
Congratulations man. Im somewhere around 10 years myself. Took 9 months of living in the VA, but was sooooo worth it. Drug addiction is a awful life, even when its the legal doctor prescribed drugs. Just don't get to a point you think you're cured, because you're not, and relapse only takes a small lapse in judgment. Been down that road too.?

Relapse is not an option. I'm not healed. It's a problem I'll have to work on for the rest of my life. Every single day. But it's worth it. Life is worth it.

And Striikar no I am not related to anyone that your thinking of ?

Well, the jury is still out on if you're worth it. ? best stick around in case you are??
 
Keep up the good work brother. Well done. ?
I’ve been on the side of taking folks to jail when they messed up and the one thing that makes me smile and proud of my job is see folks recover and truly turn their lives around. I’m an endangered species these days but I would never trade one second of my career for anything else. I’ve been tempted and sen friends fall to temptation. I’ve lost brothers and sisters behind the badge to drugs and suicide. My real life half brother lost his battle three years ago (decorated Marine overdosed). You can prevail and keep your demons at bay. Like I said, keep up the good work!
