Although Ryan has passed away. I feel that he would want ppl struggling with addiction to come see his videos. He devoted so much of his life in helping ppl like us. R.i.p. Ryan
Angela Martin passed away from what?
Yes what did he pass from?
Huh he died?
@@seanmulholland7597 yes he passed away it wasnt from drugs. I believe it was his heart but not exactly sure
Ryan had a blood disorder that caused blood clots and had a near fatal embolism a few years ago. This time it was fatal.
I finished today !!!! And my withdrawals stopped I’m freee from withdrawals!!! UPDATE: I HAVE 5 years clean!!!
Bless you, ...one day at a time!
Physically you may feel like you're done and may even be done! But the mental battle is another game.Gotta stay strong from cravings and how to deal with triggers!
Finished ? Which part Way Walters ? Also well done
How long
@@dinomorell5163 ok this is the part that makes me confused so after my withdrawl stops ....what causes the cravings is it because even after im not "sick" ill still feel like crap like no energy that will make me want to give up and use? Im down to 1mg of mdone i have been tappering for over a year which means ive had 0 energy for the past yr and a half of once the sickness part of the withdrawl is over i dont get energy im done for. I have o cravings hate the stuff BUT if life dont go back to normal pretty quick after being completly off ill give i have to function and am wore smoooth out from the taper im so worried
I love the military phrase “EMBRACE THE SUCK”. When you listen to how they train mentally, it’s astonishing to know how much the human body can endure pain. The biggest battle is sometimes our minds!
I withdrew from opioid years ago and didn't miss a day of work. I only used loperamide for diarrhea and an antihistamine for some of the other problems. I started feeling better after 12 days and never used again since.
Great job doooood
The worst thing about w/d is a 8 hour day feel like an 80 hour day, lol
its true.the time go so slowly.
it's true except the Lol part.
Freals tho hahaha i feel it
100%! Its like 5 days in 1
@@bonnerscott5374 hahaha definitely no laughing.. But u made me laugh xx😂
No sleep is what drives me crazy!!
absolutely.. my main problem and concern
I didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time until day 12. Made me insane!
I can't sleep even while I"m on opiates. My psychiatrist put me on something called zyprexa. I also use benzos, but those are more for anxiety. I don't have any trouble sleeping during the time I should be sleeping. It's the time when I'm awake that I just want to die or go back to sleep!
leg shakes
Cassie Mae Wilson how are you now? It's been a month since you post this?
This was the first video I ever watched on any Recovery videos Ryan helped me through my whole withdrawal process off opiates. If he wouldn't have ever made these videos I probably would've never stopped using. He literally helped me get through my withdrawals while I was at work by making this one video that caught my attention to watch all his videos. I will never forget you Ryan RIP cant believe your gone man. Thank you so much for making the difference you did in my life and many others.
I love this guy!!! Everything he says is absolutely true. Suck it up, take your lumps and kick the junk!
Easy for u to say . But hard if u will have to do
Rest in Peace Ryan. Even though you are no longer with us, your messages are still with us. Thanks for all the help and support from so many people. God Bless.
Wow how did he die????
@@Trrippy_Shades He had a blood disorder and it killed him.
WhT… are you serious. Wonder why he doesn’t have new videos
Shit!! It’s true. He helped so many people while being the most handsome dude on YT.
I heard it was a blood clot.@@CMoore8539
If this helps...........when I went thru my cold turkey withdrawal from a 3 year daily high dose opiod addiction.....I had to fight SMALL battles to make it thru. I taped a piece of paper to the wall of my apartment and I made a mark on it for every hour that I stayed sober. eventually I had enough marks on the wall that when those demons tugged at me to cave in....I couldnt! I couldnt cheat my earlier self who decided to get clean by caving in to the torture of detox. as far as work is concerned....thats a tough one! I took 4 days off but on day 5 when I had no choice but to get back to work....it WAS difficult! You are right Ryan.....you just have to gut it out! And in a weird way....being at work....being FORCED to concentrate on tasks helps. It beats sitting at home feeling like crap and fighting the urge to cave in. Everyone....keep fighting those small battles till the big war is over! FREEDOM is worth the fight!!

Just watched this video, I'm 6 days clean from suboxone and finally had to go back to work after taking 4 days off and it was rough. Thankfully I'm a server and only had to work a few hours, but tomorrow and Sunday will be much busier and 8 hour days on my feet. I needed to see this and needed to know I can make it through this and tough it out. Thank you for your videos!
This Suboxone is a real son of a bitch to get off. I was forced to kick when I was put in jail for violating probation. I took 8mg a day for 1 year. I didnt feel withdrawal until day 3 then it didnt go away at all until at least day 12. The night of day 12 I got my first hour of sleep and after that night it got progressively easier.
emily daniel my day 1 clean starts when i wake up tomorrow at 6pm central im excited yet terrified i have went thru withdrawl with heroin prolly 10 times, cocaine twice and opiates and subs about 5 times before so here goes
emily daniel Why didnt you taper?
@@camdoge622 how are you doing
I feel the same way as you Daniel and this video and the comment are very helpful to me.Thank You,Vince
i was a ski coach and went dopesick once. redefined the concept of COLD
I am usually hot natured and ur right, it’s like a cold deep within ur body with chills! Makes no dang sense..!
Totally different type of cold
Gets in your bones
I went cold turkey in Cambodia and even in that head I was freezing cold... you cant get that cold naturally as your body would go numb before you reach that point. It's like your cold receptors are turned on chemically in the same way capsaicin hits your heart receptors chemically
@@harrywhittaker7563 lol I had the same experience, I was freezing in July for a solid 2 weeks. Terrible at work but I did it
It's the part of the brain that regulates body temperature going haywire.also sweats reduce your temperature.
I can't imagine going to work while withdrawing! I can't do anything when I am. I lie on the couch or in bed. Can't even get washed or dressed.
Same. Honestly a lot of Ryan's advice is good but many addicts aren't that strong willed. The closest I ever got to really toughing out opiate withdrawal I used Adderall which isn't good. That was the only time I could really work, focus through a withdrawal with this level of dedication
I'm on day three. Haven't slept at all the past 2 nights due to restless legs, sweats, etc. I want to die.
@@suzybearheart530 did you get threw it?
The restless leg is what's killing me 😭 and the muscle twitch. Its Hell @@suzybearheart530
Ryan was so caring & helped so many people. We miss you Ryan. Your videos are still helping so many, myself included. RIP.
Ryan brother, there was a time when I was right there in your shoes. Able to push through the detox and handle biz. When I crossed the 20 year line of opiate addiction and the drug runs became 5-8 years a piece things became impossible to cope with, even with meds like Suboxone. I love your videos and they're great for newb or chipper who uses for short periods of time. I hope they catch these videos and read my message, take your advice and tuff it out before it gets brutal. I'm day 3 off of a 5 year run again where I only had about 60 days clean last time and was going in a 8 year run then. Pray for me
Alfonso Contreras-- Are you clean now, brother? On drug replacement therapy, like me? MAT (Medical Assisted Treatment) is the only way for most of us who've been on stuff for many years. The relapse rate of the rest, including the 12 step folks is over 90 %. Even though this is an 3 year old post, I will pray for you, please do the same for me.
Lord Bless You with Peace.
RIP Ryan, I am currently withdrawaling bad from suboxone, my clinic cut me off. They feel worse then oxy withdrawal, but watching this enspires me. Rip beautiful soul.
thank you for addressing this. too many people talk about opiate withdrawals without mentioning those who can't afford to take a day off. i stayed addicted for years after wanting to face withdrawals and quit but couldn't handle working a very labor intensive job where i had to deal with customers without at least one pill
nothing dotdlmsc, same
I'm not a very religious person or anything ,but one time I was very dopesick and had to dig in the cold weather for hours at work. I focused on prayer asking for the strength to make it through the day. That's all I thought about and instantly I felt like God was there helping me. Giving me the strength and mental resolve to get through the workday. The day went fast and nothing hurt . I have been dopesick and in the same situation many times since then, but I was never able to pray and feel that feeling again even though I've tried. was he really with me ? It felt real . The point is that our minds are in fact very powerful like Ryan says. Whether it was God or me just gearing myself up. It definately worked. I'm a believer so I'd like to think it was God.
I believe it was you both working together! Very powerful- Ryan, I hope you are in peace :)
It was. It didn't work again, I believe, is because you only get one shot and God was hoping you would feel him and not do it again.
God was there. He loves us even when we do things not the best for us.
It was definitely God
😊😊😊😊
RIP Ryan. Remember watching all these years ago! Helped so much
I 'm 48, jobless, and coming off the 8mg buprenorphine strips. 3x a day. Although my situation might have variable differences, the circumstances are the same. This was so true and helpful. Things I needed to be reminded of. Thank you. God bless you and yours.😊👍
@BoatsNHoesREDUX Sorry. Got my wires crossed. Hope you're doing good, Ryan.☺👍
one thing that helped me a lot.. and this may not be great advice but it worked for me.. id lie to myself.. id tell myself, "just make it through the work day and you can get something when you get off".. then id get off and say "just wait til tomorrow morning" and so on and so forth.. set little goals of time for yourself. like say you wanna make it through just the next hour if you have to. the one day at a time thing people preach is absolitely true.. one day at a time. one minute at a time if you have to. start small and slowly work your way up!
I did the same thing.....my goal was "get thru ONE hour at a time!" Id make a mark on a piece of paper on the wall everytime I made another hour....I just had to see all those marks to give me the incentive/courage to keep going!
James Guthrie bro thats the only thing that saved me. Waiting tables while sick is hell. I would say one more hour. One more hour
Great advice bro
Basically you told yourself that it was there if you needed it. You could take it in an hour. You could take it in two hours if you want. But you were strong enough to stop taking it. Good job!
The truth is awesome! My husband had that ability to "will" himself thru it! You CAN do it!
After watching just a few of these videos aimed at killing your addiction, It's a blessing that these people are cool enough to give you perspective and motivation to do this.
Thanks man. Tomorrow is my first day detoxing at work. Wish me luck everyone
hey man what your doing for the community is fantastic. I just watched another of your videos that you talk about withdrawal not being easy if it was easy everyone would get clean. you said it's like a right of passage to get thorough these things. that really helped me man I'm at 24hr into heroin withdrawal feeling sick thinking about calling my dealer and after hearing that I almost instantly started feeling better and have a better mindset now. I'm GOING to get through this I wear what I went through like a badge of honor. I WILL get past what most people can't!
Hope all is well. God bless you bro.
wsz594 way to go u know what i am on my day 1 and feel like s..t you right i whant mi kid to feel proud of me i was on percocet

jason schleider what happened to him
@@kristykingwright4940 blood clot so sad great guy
@Fast Internet i just found out he passed away pretty sad stuff he was a genuine good person RIP
I've been clean for 6 days, and it's miserable.
Thank you so much for this video! You are absolutely right too, I am quite livid with myself!
Damn near saved my life god bless his family man RIP
Best advice I've heard on you tube thus far.
I thankyou for these videos you share. You have helped me make a life changing decision. Clean for one week now!!
Wish u were still with us, Ryan. You helped 1000s. Love u bro. r.i.p.
He died???
What? Did he relapse and od?
@@sd3864 nah bro he had an aneurysm
I'm so sorry hes passed away. He helped me make a life altering decision!!
He for real just died?
I never meet you Ryan but I miss you. R.I.P my brother and thank you.
God bless you. I am struggling with addiction as well. Thank you for your video.👍
I am a mechanic for like 30 years and have done the w/d's from opiates and I believe every addict should have a low strength pill as an insurance policy plus many fluids on hand to keep there body right because I have soaked clothes and they were so soaked with sweat that I rang them out. This usually means one can die if fluids aren't constantly being introduced into your system.
I know how it is.Ive been a "functioning" drug addict since 1998.Ive worked when i was sick many times and it sucks
How did you manage doing mechanics with opiate wd brain fog though? Me and friends always build on cars but when I was withdrawaling I made so many dumb mistakes, something like removing alternator when it needed a starter removed. its like i was the walking dead and super embarrassing trying to work on cars not to mention i was sooo lazy minded to the point of taking shortcuts with anything just to get it done.
I had that exact same mirror/dresser set lol. awesome video by the way. I just took a week off and I'm dying from the withdrawals.
Thanks for the video. It is very inspirational yet I still find it hard to wrap my mind around going through withdrawal without missing work. In my particular situation, I work in an office at a desk the whole day. With how bad restlessness gets it would be impossible to sit still and function enough mentally to complete my daily tasks. I've been an opiate addict for almost 10yrs and went through the hell of withdrawals too many times to count. If I'm able to hold a job long enough, I use fmla and go to rehab to kick and return back to work weeks later. In my current situation that isn't an option and I've exhausted all my time off. I had to miss today because I couldn't pull myself out of bed to make it in. I guess everyone is different, some mentally stronger than others. I've always thought of myself as a mentally strong individual but when I hear stories like yours it makes me reevaluate myself. I have a family to feed and a house to try to keep and yet that still can't motivate me enough to make it in to work. I am very worried about how this is going to turn out. I'm on day 2 and really plan on making it to the other side and staying there. I feel like even if I lose my job, that my recovery should come first. That also seems selfish having children that rely on me to provide but I'm just out of options. I've hit rock bottom and been here for some time. The depression for the last year or so has been overwhelming. Throughout my years of opiate addiction I've came to find out that the mental agony is far worse than the acute physical pain when you decide to kick. The worse your addiction becomes, the worse the mentally pain gets. Life has to get better than this. God bless all addicts out here struggling. This is true hell on earth.
+mrgreenthumb Just go to the doctor, fake having the flu, get a doctors note, and call in sick to work for 1 or 2 weeks. Over that time go cold turkey. Better than losing your job altogether.
God bless you
I've been in the exact same spot and feelings. There's no substitute for the process of detox. Detox medical (in-patient) treatment helps. Your sobriety has to come before everything you listed. And if you're truly working at it, I find that true friends and family that love you will support that! You got this! Keep pushing forward. And we'll be looking for you on the other side of your recovery!
@@everforward9652 true friends and family that love u come on don't play that B.S. u know they r the ones that get hurt the most when we use so don't expect anything from them and trust me we both know we don't deserve there help
Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear.youre absolutely right. Now, just need to angry enough.
Manual labor will actually make you feel better. At first it sucks, but you’ll jump start your body’s own endorphins even faster. Also you’re gonna sleep better.
Anger is more useful than despair.
Thank you for making this video
found your channel and wanted to say thanks for getting me ready to kick the habit. I've been on 100 mg of morphine sulphate twice a day along with random loartabs here and there. Ive been taking these for 4 years now to treat multiple herniated disks. The pain opioids have caused has slowly become worse than the pain in my back. I'm scared to death but its something I know that needs to be done. thanks again for all of your help.
I'm puking & crapping on myself in the shower , when im in withdrawal , theres no way I could work during it
don keyballs don-- exact same with me. I have to have a bucket because I'd never make the bathroom to puke, projectile vomiting...and the desperate run to not shit your sweatpants or underwear, which stink already from sweating...and you just CANNOT shower. This kindly man who was trying to help people, must've had a VERY light habit..."A couple of days?" My dope sickness is still building at day 8 and up. I've never outlasted a period of withdrawal. It is a TINY % of people who can do that. But his voice reached those that it could help. I'm kind of surprised there are not more remarks like ours. Maybe they think it would be disrespectful? It's not. Just different, much tougher withdrawal for people with long, serious habits, that's all. Hope you are well.
@@michaelg-ux1mo iv been on a morphine prescription since 1994 till today ,withdrawal puts me in the hospital, 15-18 hours into it ,bags of iv fluids pumped into my vein & shots of toradol to stop the puking & kept in emergency room for 8 + hours ,there's no way I could survive 10 days of that
@@donkeyballs3307 My wife has begged me to let her take me to the ER but I tell her, "They won't do anything for me."
If I am out, I drop off the board QUICK...at 20 hours the pukes begin...but I was always too afraid my doctor would shit can me because I ran short.
So after you get out of the ER, you gotta hope your phone rings before it gets too bad or your phone rings with the pharmacy text (like Holy Scripture) : Your RX Morphine 60 mg ---
That's the Sweetest feeling. The junk sickness even lets up a little in anticipation that RELIEF is a half hour. But I am in no condition to go and get my meds...I look exactly what I am; a sweating, stinking, all pupils so that I look like a demon (Jesus, what a life...tragic, funny, tragic) who is ONE disappointment away from some DRUGSTORE COWBOY shit.
I've been on since 2002. Some of those years were h...then pills and h...then I had an accident, well, my second accident, but this one interrupted a successful 9 month stretch on Subs and my doc, rightly said, "You're going to have several surgeries...we'll have to suspend the Suboxone and treat your pain."
But this guy was good. He knew that he was treating my pain PLUS my addiction and gave me the appropriate amount (2013)...430 mg./day. The pharmacy at CVS would cluck their tongues in disapproval.
I wish and pray you stay Well, brother.
@@michaelg-ux1moI have a few times on my own and off a 3 year bender with pretty much no days not using in treatment cold turkey.
I still can't believe you're gone. Hugs to your wife and children.
Wow bro your savage, I couldn't even get out of bed while withdrawing, I been on methadone since last October n will have a year of h this October, hope u still fighting , we need victory stories like this...
This dude passed away! Not from opiates, but from some weird medical condition! Sad as fck to see someone put their life together,than go out some freakish way!
Thank you so much, god bless you ,you darling sweet intelligent strong man!You gave me that AHA moment when you GET MAD AT YOURSELF FOR GETTING YOURSELF IN THI POSITION ANYWAY AND-AND telling me the TRUTH that no excersice food or supplement is going to make it bearable, that IT IS THE UNAVOIDABLE UNCOMFORTABLE intense horrific feeling WE HAVE TO SUFFER before we can get better, THANK YOU!!AND you ALSO mentioned how bad the energy thing is AND HOW DEPRESSING that is AND that the depression was allready there to begin with!I DON'T FEEL SO ALONE ANYMORE-I KNOW THERE IS NO QUICK FIX SUPPLEMENT OR THING I CAN DO NOW, and I could resonate with EVERYTHING YOU SAID so much that I NOW BELEIVE I CAN THE IMPOSSIBLE.You also mentioned you are proud of yourself, WELL YOUR GODAMNED RIGHTS YOU ARE MY FRIEND, AND YOU SHOULD BE.You are a VERY good speaker and if you ever consider a career change I think you could really help a lot of people either by public speaking in an awareness and motivational sense, or an addictions worker.YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME, and I cannot thank you enough and I am so happy you took the time TO BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.I used to say being a parent is the hardest job a person could do and while it is in terms of a JOB ,I think there is NO HARDER THING than getting clean ESPECIALLY from opiates.I'v suffered many addictions but nothing was as insidiuos nor destructive as opiates.It's the ONLY thing I am aware of that is as devastating IF NOT MORE devastating than marrying a sociopath.It is emotional and physical terrorism to ones entire self and leaves you feeling like nothing more than the empty shell of the person you once were, your mind and spirit, soul are long dead before your body catches up and its so easy to lose all hope of recovery.I HOPE WISH YOU THE VERY BEST OF LUCK , I THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE HONESTLY AND SELFLESSLY ,YOU ARE MY HERO!
I’m so glad I come across your channel
RIP. Love this man.
Hi again Ryan, been a long time. Just came across one your videos and just had to let you know that I’ve been clean for one year! Thanks for the encouragement and may God bless you and yours! Life is good again 😀❤️
Thank you Melissa! I know how busy life is and taking the time to say hello on my TH-cam takes work! :)
Hi Ryan, i just watched some of your videos, and you know what happens to me each time, my mind fails and i give up and run back to H. i too once got clean and boy did i do everything a normal perso couldnt, then i relapsed and this time around finding it so hard to kick. i dont have methadone and suboxone in my country but ihave all the other meds to at least fight this warm turkey. Its my head that fails me each time.
I once got through a 15 hour double shift as waiter onmy feet the whole time withdrawing dealing with customers having to paste on a ☺ for them all day. Every hour or so I would hide in the bathroom for a few minutes and collapse on the toilet shit my guts out puke and then get back on my feet and go back out. It was BRUTAL!
Sir Walter Raleigh ... That would have been so so hard! How are you doing now?
That is super hard core and awesome
I can't find the vid, should I go to rehab? You convinced me to go. You saved my life. I'm home now, I have 21 days, I've never felt better, and have on my mental boxing gloves in case P.A.W.S shows up. I know it's a long road ahead, but today is all I have, and it's a good one. So just wanted to say Thank you!
MsFair proud of u!!! Whoever you are!!!
How many relapses since this comment was posted ?
I'm in my 7th day if withdrawal an I'm at work. the getting angry at myself really does work...I was taking 10mg narco for 7 years an 1 year methadone 40mg an ill be 26 this year i feel like I lost half of my good years bcuz of this. stupid drug
Ill be sober for 36 day tonight 10/04/15
I quit everything cold turkey, methadone cigarettes an redbull.., i was just waiting to get randomly drug tested at work an get fired . I called in 1 week an work the rest of the month with cold turkey
The drug isn't STUPID if your taking it for chronic pain just to get thru the day. If you don't really need it,then you shouldn't be taking it. This is what ruins it for the people who really need it! I'm suffering bcuz people who abuse the drugs are dying! Now doctors are so afraid to prescribe any pain meds! So if your a person who is abusing drugs,then THAT'S ON YOU!!
Oh my God Manny your a young man! I'm 60 years old but don't feel or look it but if you are worried that you have lost half of your good years you haven't you have a long way to enjoy your life ahead of you. I have used heroin for 25years and I feel bad about it but it allowed me to put up with the crap and rotten personalities I had to deal with at work.If I would have quit and went back to sea in the Merchant Marines I would have never been able to retire, by sticking it out I am now retired with a good pension and I just need to stop the opiates now. I thought when I stopped working it would be easy to do but with more time now it proved to actually be harder. I appreciate this video and all of your comments,I don't feel so alone and they give me strength and the will to try again.I will try to stick with it this time and not give up after a couple of days. I want my life back and am tired of not being able to go anywhere and always worrying about going into withdrawal.Thank you for your comment Manny,Sincerely Vince
@@vincentmackay4927 I hope you stuck with it brother 25 yrs is a very long time
10 mg narco... that’s nothing man. Sure if you were on it for a while you’d feel the withdrawals but it’s doable
In the same boat and your right about mentally willing yourself thru but it is no easy task whatsoever!!!
Your absolutely right.
This is great advice if you want to relapse. However if it helps you in any way more power to you.
This is such great advice and hardly anyone says it!
A positive attitude and overcoming the fear and anxiety of WD is so important, it can make or break this process. You have to stay mentally strong and keep reminding yourself it won't last forever. I agree, if you have the chance try to taper off for a few days before your days off then go cold turkey on your weekend. This probably sounds crazy but I used to tell myself that I just had a really bad stomach virus and it would be over in a few days and it worked to relieve some of the anxiety and made it easier to cope with, I didn't seem to focus on the WD symptoms as much because I knew it was just temporary. Probably sounds crazy but the mind is very powerful and reacts subconsciously to the power of suggestion. Hope this helps.
That's not crazy.. that's actually very smart.. the mind-body connection is insanely REAL
Thanks for posting your experiences and you’re 100% right, you just have to “tough it out”.
My withdrawal symptoms came after I stopped using Norspan patches (Buprenorphine) for a chronic back issue. After recently successfully undergoing L2-3 and L3-4 nerve root decompression, I no longer required Norspan and titrated down from 20mg to 5MG patches and off, the 2-3 week he’ll-ride with withdrawals running the show was tough, all the classic opioid type withdrawals- I’m sure these were not as bad as what a person withdrawing from traditional opioids would experience -but it was similar and not easy - but you can get through it. Be sure to have the support of your family and friends and even your workplace if possible. Time and your own shear force of will are your true friends here, one day, one week, one month at a time.
You no what also helps get rid of all your dealers numbers it helped me a lot
thank you tons for your videos!
I can't be4 your gone! You helped me so much.
You just motivated me alot. Thankyou
Im withdrawling right now, on my 4 th day. I have two jobs(both part time) and i have to go to work at Wednesday. I too have physical demanding jobs where i need to stay concentrated. I already worked wding and its hell on earth man. Worst thing you can do during wd honestly, but yeah Im still alive and have still both of my jobs.
My jobs were one of the main reasons continuing doing suboxone, as i can not even stand being low dosed at work.
So i need to go to work wed, also to convince my self, that i can do this shit without a crutch.
Thanks for this awesome video. I hope i can get angry enough to fullfill my tasks at work.
How the hell can your work while physical withdrawals that is like working with a hardcore flu I could not do it. I need 2 weeks in a spa retreat in Hawaii to get thought the initial physical part, work is just not an option. All respect to anyone that can tough it out at work but that would be impossible.
Rest in peace Ryan 😓😓❤
Nooo what happened 😞😞😞
Now I am fan of this person..i am now able to make this Karim tea and also I got to know how it is useful after this beautiful content
I love this guy
Man I miss this guy
God Bless you Brother
Clean for 3 days now and I tell you what it is exactly what you said its really hard when your trying to get off the pills and work at the same time especially warehouse you have to perform I'm using calm support now and it helps a lot and I tried to do with out any pills before trying to quit I failed so many times but now I'm sticking to it and praying everyday and night to get better.. Thank you for your help and motivation.
man :( feeling like shiz. I have been through the worst of it... Arm and leg strangling pain and electric shock and just fricking sleeplessness, horrible creepy crawly feeling inside my arms and joints. Today, work is difficult :( I am weak. I am still getting the hot and cold flashes and some creepy crawly feelings. When will that stuff stop? Seems like it won't. I could NOT stand the feeling this weekend and took 1/2 a 325 Vicodin. Did this set me back? Is this why I am still feeling like this?
I had a surgery a month ago and was sent home with oxycodone. 30 days after, my surgeon got me off the oxy cold turkey and suggested Tramadol for pain. Luckily I came across this channel and didn’t dare taking Tramadol at all but I’m feeling miserable I guess because of the oxy. This is day 4 and still feel like crap. What I don’t get while on oxy, I always thought that I had a flu. Weeks later I’m realizing those were withdrawals? Anyways, I’m trying my best to stay positive during this painful adventure. I’m scheduled to go back to work next week and I hope that by then my withdrawals are gone. Any thoughts?
RIP Ryan thank you so much for all your help brother.
What happened?
He had a disorder where he would get blood clots. He had one in his lung and passed away due to a pulmonary embolism. Not drug related.
@@canislupus7421 Ohhh wow, thats horrible! I work for Fire/Rescue and had a younger guy who threw blood clots as well (he had several PE's). Scary stuff. Wonder if he was on a blood thinner? Such a shame... This guy really helped me.
I gotta get thru this ryan i need my life back. 10 yrs 100mg mthdne. I wanna get it outa my life.
Calm support u r are give so much inspiration thanks
My buddy is 1 week clean, tired as hell and disassociated but clean
Thanks man. I needed that. Coming down one mg a day till zero. At eleven today. Starting to lose sleep. I’d say starting to lose my mind but I’m pretty sure you can’t lose what you didn’t have in the first place? Regardless your video reminds me that no I DIDN’T have a mind but I COULD with just some intention. 🙏
Only the Good die young. Thanks Ryan. You got me through it. Peace.
What did this dude die from? How long ago?
@@BigBaller-he1dz Sep. 21, 2018…RIP
Chronic Deep Vein Thrombosis from what I understand. Blood clots traveled to his lungs and killed him.
@@justicegusting2476 Wow ok thanks bruh
I notice even when coming off them light even makes your eyes almost hurt or something I guess due to pupil dilation
So sad to hear of Ryan's passing,he will be massively missed by the recovery community,R.I.P....
What? What happened? 😔😔
What happens when the anxiety and mood swings affect your home life ( stuck in bedroom so no one sees or is affected by symptoms) lack of focus and motivation is an employer killer..how do I expect to keep a job so demanding, I'm in construction as well, in last six years, 6 different companies....my life is officially planned around my meds???
i am a builder carpenter who has been on fentanyl for 6 years after 8 spinal fusions to my neck over last 10 years. Changed to suboxone now for last two weeks. I can do some work for couple hours and then drop to the floor. No motivation can mask the spinal pain and muscle weakness plus the depressing suboxone.
I will be praying for you!
Great video. I was wondering how people do that. I'm so fortunate I'm disabled and can just be safe at home. But, it was all legal pain meds and it took that anger you spoke of for me to trash them cold turkey.
Going thru mine right know tried cold turkey felt like I was gonna die so I’m doing it the smarter way and taking little and little each day The felling of lack of oxygen and depression is the worst for me praying for everyone there recovery goes good we are strong ❤️🥰
so, maybe 2 weeks ago I tapered pretty quickly down to one mg using the strips, was getting the 5 hours of sleep a night thing, but doing ok. as I was awaiting detox, I did 4 subutex in a week's time. I then went into detox, given Librium and clonidine once at night to sleep and was very comfortable After detox. I didn't take Librium for 4 days, and still felt very good. was given 50 mg at a time, at most 3 times a day during the 5 day detox. clonidine once a night, I didn't want the daytime dose, and took a few Imodium.
then in rehab I was given dioxepin and clonidine once at night for sleep and it worked great. im on day 9 and feeling very good all things considered. only withdrawal I've had is the low energy and lack of motivation, and a few bouts of some heavy sneezes, which is why I left rehab today. I want to sleep it through if I can, and its hard there. Came home and slept 4 hours and felt good. that's all I want is to sleep because I expected NONE, and the days in the rehab dragged, so I left on my fourth day. Any criticism on that is deserved, I know. but one of my issues is certainly with social situations.
I wanna be active at certain times, when I get those little happy bursts. And its hard there with so many groups and so much downtime. I admit, I am not comfortable in rehab.
I realllllllllly want to be off sub, so so badly. 9 days is the longest in 8 years, an eternity.
any input would be appreciated. also, what's the max I would wanna take clonidine/doxepin as needed for sleep, because the very last thing I wanna do is have to be hooked on that stuff. I know i'll having paws, ive been on sub for ten years. but 9 days with the meds ive been given, should I be feeling this good? is this riding out the worst of the sub withdrawals, maybe the same way sub helps the oxy/dope withdrawals? Is the worst to come because of the half life? my mood have been about 70% good, 30% bad. Detox was great, but don't like the rehab, also because i'm the only one coming off a ten year sub dependence as some patient were being put on maintenece
intensive outpatient my best bet as well?
Please help me with any advice you can. Thank you.
Omg I love you videos 😊😊
Low key physical is hardest at first then it’s the no energy part which I can barely work so I continue to use
i also do construction. i woke up one morning and cussed at myself. i was so mad at myself for getting hooked, even thoug it started as me trying to simply deal with a tooth acke. im up too 30 mg a day. is that bad?
I hate going to work without my pain meds
i hate going to work without your pain meds to so bless me msg me ill send u my po box kthx
@@SednaFTW lol...
@@SednaFTW Oof!
Hi Ry....I've looked at tons of your videos......but haven't seen any where you address the withdrawal symptom of diarrhea or how long it lasts. Was this one of your withdrawal symptoms? Would you please consider doing a video on this......A greatfull Firefighter
God bless u ryan... miss u bro... hope u made it into heaven
Thanks for the vid, it feels good to know I'm not alone. I'm on week two of methadone withdrawal and the fatigue is killing me Im sooo tired all the time and my house is a mess. I cant wait til feel normal again!
Brianna Kristine , i just read your message.
so its been a month, how are you doing now? did you relapse or are you out of the woods and feeling better.
Tiffaney Gerlach Feelings loadsssss better! Id say my fatigue is still there, but not nearly like it was. I havnt relapsed nor do I want to. The excruciating withdrawals is enough to keep me straight lol. I know it's hard now and there's no light at the end of the tunnel, but keep going its so worth it in the end. Colors are brighter, jokes are funnier, life is more enjoyable. I didn't realize how much of a lifeless zombie I was for two years while I was on methadone.
@@briannakristine4033 can you please update on how you are feeling now???
@@nasdaqgirl Are you also on methadone?
Please let me know
Happy music helps me
God bless u bro I say the same thing use that anger on how did I get here but good shit
Thank you !
I'm on a blind dose with methadone do you think I should switch to subutex?
Yes no sleep and on top of that my pupils dilate so much I look like I’m on a psychedelic and people can’t see my eyes like that at work or sit in the 102 degree weather for 12 hours without having problems?
thanks ryan, I am on day 5 from subutex, you gave me the incentive to quit, 10 years on subutex
Keith Williams thats a long time man stay safe! seek help if u cant handle the sub wd's
Good luck from London UK
