    I am a 43 year old social worker, mother of 2 beautiful boys aged 13 and 8, by all intents and purposes, a successful upper middle class person. I suffer from kidney disease, and degenerative disc disorder. I say that to say this, addiction doesn't discriminate. I am 15 months clean and sober from Fentanyl addiction that began by being given astronomically high dose prescriptions of Fentanyl by my primary care doctor in an attempt to enable me to continue working thru the pain. I am blessed to have survived Fentanyl and be on the other side now. I watch these videos as a reminder of what could have been and to pay tribute to those who weren't as fortunate. All of the families featured in these videos continue to be in my prayers. ❤❤❤❤

      @ca3132 It's a genetic mutation that causes me to produce kidney stones at rapid rates among other things. I had my first surgery at 4. I'm currently doing very well and have learned things to do to manage symptoms without pharmaceutical intervention and for that, I am beyond thankful.

      Glad to hear you're learning to manage the pain better. Today it's almost impossible to get even 1 pain pill from a doctor let alone high doses of fent so thats interesting. They were monitoring you & that fent is controlled vs most of these stories. These are illegal/unmonitored fent mixed in another drug I believe, which makes it more dangerous.

    • @amyshull8263

      @zenawarrior7442 I found myself in a situation where I was prescribed 150 mcg Fentanyl patches along with Oxycodone. After a while, the prescribed medication wasn't enough and I began to purchase it on the street. What I didn't realize then was that my physical pain WAS controlled; however, I was trying to numb MENTAL pain with increasing large doses of narcotics. I found myself addicted and losing all that mattered to me. I decided to stop cold turkey, which was absolutely horrible for 19 days and enter into out patient treatment for substance use and mental health counseling. That was over a year ago and I haven't looked back. My physician, counselor, and God have given me my life back and I am SO thankful that I am not an overdose/poisoning statistic. This is the short version of a long journey. Because I was successful and my husband was successful, no one suspected and I was enabled out of love, once my family realized. I had to stop or I would be dead. I wasn't your stereotypical addict but I was an addict, just the same, despite the reasons why it happened. You are correct in your assumptions regarding pharmaceutical grade Fentanyl and street grade Fentanyl. It's poison, all the way around, at least for me.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My 21-year-old granddaughter became addicted to fentanyl over a year and a half ago. She overdosed twice and had to be Narcanned. The second overdose happened when she was in sober living after going to rehab. She had to be given Narcan ten times and was in ICU for over a week. She now has almost a year sober. I'm very grateful for that, but I worry every day that she could relapse again...Fentanyl is a very evil drug.

But I bet if everyone who's lost someone due to fentanyl poisoning (murder) started making demands & if need be, started protesting and/or rioting, I bet changes would be made then. Individuals with a substance use disorder are people too. They should be treated as such.

    I grew up suffering off and on with chronic insomnia. My condition is mild compared to my mother. She was badly addicted to over the counter barbiturates. She was always in a torpid almost comatose state. When she tried to get off the pills she would have a nervous breakdown.
    She used to tell me that I would suffer the same fate. While she was telling me I would pray to God ‘please let it be so that i don’t have a nervous breakdown or become addicted to drugs. So far it has worked. I’m a lil squirrelly at times, but no breakdowns. I went to a period where I tried weed and street drugs to keep up with my peers. Then I’d remember that talked with God. I dropped that activity. I wasn’t much a druggie or beer drinker. I stopped drinking beer and alcohol as well. The people out there who can sleep well, you are blessed. I’m often sleep deprived but I refuse to take anything for it.

      Back then someone like me could experiment and get away with it. Now, you make one false move and bam! You’re dead. Don’t do drugs folks. Read the Bible, pray get close to the Lord. The enemy of souls is not playing around.

    I would absolutely love access to your son’s beautiful music, is that available anywhere? My father was stabbed to death at his own home 20 years ago and that loss devastated our family, my parents were divorced when I was young, then this past September my mother was robbed and beaten to death and was left in a coma and died a month later and nobody was ever charged. My dad played guitar and sang, I miss that so much but back when he played and sang we didn’t have all the recording options that the kids have now and I had some cassette tapes and that is all but I would love to hear more of your sons music. I’m so sorry for your loss, my brother has been using drugs since my fathers murder and I am so scared he is going to die.

    I was prescribed oxytocin and oxycodone after a life changing car accident almost 30 years ago. I was fortunate enough to never get addicted and to be able to wean myself off them. It was (I’m not going to lie) awful. I’m still in pain every day but I have found alternative ways to deal with it. My heart aches for these parents and siblings who have lost someone. Parents should never have to bury their child.💔 Cullen had a real musical talent. I wish we could hear more of it.

I occasionally do livestreams on addiction and recovery and am a devoted advocate in my Boston community. Thank you. My prayers to all these families. 8/31 is international overdose awareness day. Let’s all unite on that day and in our communities to honor all those we have lost to the battle of substance use disorder and fentanyl poisoning 💜🌹💜

      Sharing the stories by playing from TH-cam or sharing the link is fine. The only limit would be that it can't be reposted. We also have a series of Recovery Stories you might find interesting. Here's a link to the playlist - th-cam.com/play/PLdCPA32W_p39Z8hi7xSIX3Fkqmhd7mRzj.html
      We have several new recovery stories in production now and they will be added to the series over the coming weeks.

    Horrible struggle!!! I'm so sorry for your loss..😢
    Thank you for sharing your son's story. Hopefully, this may help people know a little bit more about the chemical changes that happens in the brain. It has nothing to do with will power! The more people understand this, maybe we can end the stigma and allow others to seek help without fear of judgment. ..
    We are failing as a society when the authorities not only not investigate, but swept under the rug!!! We hear more about Fentanyl now...but this poisoning was going on years ago! I had never heard of it either! 😢 The frustration you must feel about that is probably unbearable... Someone really dropped the ball as far as any kind of warning! 💔
    God bless y'all...🙏🙌💕
