I lost my best friend to addiction 7 years ago. It was the worst day of my life. I couldn’t imagine losing my fiancé. I was an addict and will have 9 years sober in October. You are so strong for sharing this. You’re going to help so many people. Thinking of you and your family! ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. Kyle was my student at frontier and my son’s good friend. I’m smiling through my tears remembering everything you describe him to be. It’s so Kyle. He was a sweet loving goofy soul who didn’t know a stranger and loved everyone. I pray this reaches just one person and changes their life. Such a loss but he would want to help others. That’s just who he was ❤❤
I'm literally sobbing with you. He is so proud of you for doing this. It is going to help so many people. I just lost my Bonus Dad due to drug addiction. Secret addicts, is what the police called him. My grief is so extreme, I do not know how to function. Today, has been a hard day for me...watching Krista IG and came across this podcast, it is truly God showing me today he is with me.
Jori!! I have known you since you were a child and I can’t even begin to describe how incredibly proud I am of your bravery! Amazing first podcast! I know this is going to help so many and will help in your healing journey as well. Love you Jori!!!
He would be so proud Jori, this hits home for me and hearing you guys speak on this makes me feel less alone. I’m so sorry for you and your whole family’s loss.
So proud of you for sharing your story. Just celebrated 6 years clean (in May) and everyday is such a blessing. Praying for all those who still struggle. Thank you for sharing and helping others.
So sorry for the loss of Kyle. Thank you for sharing this story. I have been clean for 14 years and things are so different nowadays..it’s scary. I appreciate you guys speaking on this topic. It is so important. Sending love to all of the friends and family. ❤❤❤
Wow Jori, thank you for sharing your story! I lost my brother in March 2023 from a fentyn@l OD. So true & heartbreaking when you said $8 ruined everything 💔💔 I'm so sorry. I'm always praying for you, your son & all of Kyle's loved ones ❤❤
Jori! You are braver than you know & your courage to share is admirable. Kyle would be so very proud of you for saving others by sharing your own tragedy. Sending so much light & love, gf 🤍
Thank you for sharing Jori. Thank you for breaking the stigma on Mental Health and Addiction. It’s not talked about enough.. so many people are uncomfortable to talk about it but sharing will only help others and give those who do struggle a safe space to share and get the help they need. So many suffer in silence. I’m so sorry you are going through this but thank you for sharing yours and Kyle’s story. I know you’ll make a difference. ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story & helping to de-stigmatize addictions & mental health. I believe there’s a new statistic that every ~5 mins we lose someone to fentanyl poisoning, when just up to a few months ago it was every 11 mins. You & your son have the most special guardian watching over you both. ❤ I’m looking forward to more episodes
I cried watching this 😭 You are courageous for sharing what happened. My 25 year old niece died from drug overdose. I'm sending hugs 🫂 love ❤and prayers 🙏
What a difficult and heartbreaking story to share. You should be proud that you are sharing your story. If it helps just one person it was worth your pain in opening up.❤
You are an incredibly brave woman who will help so many. Your son will grow up being so proud of his mom. May Kyle RIP and may you and his whole family continue to heal from his loss. ❤🙏🏻
Your podcast was amazing. Thank you for sharing your story. Your little boy is lucky to have such a brave and courageous mommy. I look forward to hearing all your podcasts.
Jori you are amazing. For you to opening up about Kyle's death and what he was going through. Kyle is so very proud of you. Doing this podcast you are reaching people that need help. God Bless ❤🙏❤
Jori.... may God bless you and Brooks. You are so strong, brave and I know your Kyle is proud of you! You are and will continue to help others.. exactly what Kyle would want you to do. Ask Kyle to show his brother B a special sign to let him know he's okay. I know each family member is still struggling with the loss in their own way, but I feel B is really having a very hard time. Lord be with you all. I wish you all peace.
Omg Jori I am so sorry ❤️🩹 I’m glad you were able to take time to process his death before sharing what happened. I had no idea it was this traumatic for you. Hugs and prayers for healing 🤍
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so so scared raising my children in this world filled with fentanyl. Aspire thank you for all your work. Please please reach out to the youth, now at elementary schools they have vape smoke detectors in the bathroom and narcan in the schools nurse station. Times have changed for the worse when it comes to the world of street drugs
This happened to my cousin and her fiancé too. They were both doing so well and relapsed by buying some street drugs that were unfortunately laced with fentanyl and they both passed at the same time. It was horrifying and in the news and there were SO many stories going around about them that weren’t true and broke my heart. It was heartbreaking and I’m so so sorry that you had to go through this. It’s just tragic that so many of these young people who had their entire lives ahead of them are now gone. Thank you for sharing your story. I know that so many lives will be saved from it ❤
The podcast was great. I’ve been through some traumas and it helps to listen to similar stories. I agree with Scott that alcohol shouldn’t be around. It hurts too many. Adults need to learn to have a good time without it. I’ll be watching future episodes
Jori, you have no idea the torture he been going through similiar to u but different in its own way. Would love to talk. Thank you for this from the bottom of my heart. ❤
Wow thank you for sharing and opening up about your story!! We love Aspire they have helped my family so much and still do! And I’m so glad you created this podcast for others that can relate and to bring awareness ❤
I am a close friend with Kyle’s mom. She has always talked about you and Kyle’s relationship with you and how special you are. I would have met you at your wedding. You are as strong and as brave as can be. As wonderful as I had been told. I hope to meet you one of these days as I go through Bako. Kyle would be great with counseling as his career. ❤
I had no idea! Brought me to complete tears hearing what you went through! Such a different story but so similar also! Wrapping my arms around you in prayer! And sweet Brooks ❤️
This was definitely a tough watch. I had to pause multiple times to keep myself from crying. Watching this has brought up difficult emotions for me from what I went through. I have many people who are close to me that have died of drug overdose, are recovering addicts, or are active addicts. I have an ex that was a very bad drug addict that I was with for 10 1/2 years. I went through very many traumatic things being with him and there were times that he could have died from an overdose. I would find him slumped over all the time from being so high but he always eventually came to. One time he took something with fentanyl I believe it was and was going into an overdose. Which he got from my sister who also was a drug addict. I was laying down in bed trying to go to sleep and he was laying there high out of his mind next to me and my sister comes in my room and tells me his lips are blue and he was barely breathing. He wasn’t responding so she gave him narcan. He wasn’t responding to the narcan at first so she tells me to call 911 so I call and I’m just in shock I could barely talk to the operator so my sister takes the phone and talks to them. He came to 10 mins before the ambulance shows up and was acting completely fine. That narcan saved his life. If I would have went to sleep and my sister didn’t come in the room to check on him and give him narcan I would have woken up to him dead next to me. That was the last straw for me and I broke up with him. He’s sober now apparently with a really good job. I’m just very thankful I didn’t have to go through him dying, that would have completely broken me. I’m so extremely sorry that you had to go through that, my heart is broken for you, your son and the whole family😢. I follow Krista and Bryce on instagram and they always talk about Kyle and how wonderful of a person he was. Thank you for being so brave to talk about this. Talking about addiction is something that needs to be talked about a lot more. I hope this story is a wake up call for people who are struggling with addiction. You are doing great things with sharing Kyle’s story. Sending a big virtual hug to you.🫂
Wasn’t this said to be a car accident online? This is devastating and I’m thankful that the truth is being shared so people can realize that this is happening EVERYWHERE and to ANYONE. God bless you all.
I'm so confused this whole time i thought he was killed by a drunk driver?? If you google kyle Horton it comes up he was in a fatal accident in Bakersfield??
Oh i see, possibly they could have wanted to protect him and hide this. But Jori wanted to speak out about it. I think the Hortons paid for those articles. They should never be ashamed. I support Jori and my heart goes out to her!
42:26 I have a family of addicts. This is such an accurate description.
Jori 🥺💔. Omg I’m sobbing. Thank you for opening up. You’re changing lives and saving lives, you have no idea. You’re an actual angel. Rip Kyle 🤍

My sister died by fentanyl poisoning at 35. It is heartbreaking 😢
Oh jori 😭 I just want to hug you so bad
💔
One of my very dear friends lost her son in a similar way. He would have been 28 today.😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤

🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tragic and so unnecessary. This poor lady and their son!!
I'm so confused this whole time i thought he was killed by a drunk driver?? If you google kyle Horton it comes up he was in a fatal accident in Bakersfield??
Krista Horton said all of those articles were fake and made up by the media.
Oh i see, possibly they could have wanted to protect him and hide this. But Jori wanted to speak out about it. I think the Hortons paid for those articles. They should never be ashamed. I support Jori and my heart goes out to her!
