Dude I feel like you’ve been a friend for me these last few weeks. I relate so much with what you’ve said. I lived in Cumberland MD with my ex girlfriend that’s where my addiction started. Now I’m 23 in GA and I’m trying to do better. Keep the vids coming man
I've actually never been to cumberland but I definitely heard about it! i'm guessing it was close to bodymore murdaland? i know the pain of living next to that region all too well. hope lift is better in GA. thanks for the comment. by the way - we are friends - remember that. -b. harm
I really like to listen to your life story and also know you got out of your addictions! Congratulations, keep it up bro! Greetings from Belgium (Europe)
Crazy hearing you explain your path into the identity of drug user. Very very similar to the process my mind went thru as well. Was prob 14 or 15 when I began associating creativity with drug use, was an almost overnight and deliberate transformation into wasteoid and in the process i developed a very mistaken idea of drug abuse. I knew I wanted to play and write music and observed a casual attitude towards drug use from a lot of my heroes at the time and then did a bunch of mental gymnastics to justify abusive drug consumption and that shit got out of hand in such a short amount of time. Probably not the most unique path into the lifestyle but it's crazy hearing somebody else talk about their experiences and having it so closely parallel my own behavior and choices
Me and a friend were referred to as the toxic twins a Steven Tyler Joe Perry reference I was so stupid I thought that made me cool young and dumb would be and underestimation
I started back in 1997-98 , I messed up my back from work at a young age at the time my father had cancer and was getting OCs and it’s been down hill since, I’ve been pretty much clean since 2019 with a few slips here and there especially when they shut everything down
Me too bro exactally same timeline except i started my opioid addiction started with my wisdom teeth in highschool in 97 but went vicoprofen to k4 Dilaudid to heroin i would get clean here and there but never this long october 2019
@@Jayday707 good to here man, remember how bad those withdrawals are sometimes we forget how horrible they are, keep fighting the good fight, I’m never going back to that sh!t ever, it’s misery
yeah those oxys are a beast. I'm about to film part 4 of "how i became an addict" and the cliffhanger is going to be me taking my first oxy. took me down the wrong road as well! hope you're doing ok. -b. harm
Brandon I’m still trying to get off kratom extracts. Take one or two a day for over a year now. Physical is bad but it’s the mental WD for me. You have felt like a friend giving me hope. this story is exactly my story as well. Got arrested at 16 and got into drugs young cause I met my first love who introduced me to opiates. I’ve been clean off herion for ten years but now kratom is ruining my life so it’s time to quit that but it’s tough. I take it to stop cravings but tbh it’s destroying my health physically and mentally so I gotta quit.
wow... that sounds EXACTLY like my life lmao. literally to the numbers and everything. I got off H in 2016 so it's been about 6 years for me. but hey - listen - in a sense, we are friends. I'm eventually gonna make a sobriety discord and maybe in the near future we can all hang out. i heard getting off extracts is rough. No joke: try the vitamin c powder protocol. it seriously works. I'm rooting for you. thanks for the comment - and seriously hope you're doing well. -b. harm
