    Speaking as someone who had a 20 year heroin and crack addiction, his claim of staying awake for 49 days is dubious at best, its physically nearly impossible and even if possible you would lose all concept of time way before 49 days, sounds like junkie bravado to me

    As an addictions counsellor and former addict myself I can promise you that staying awake for 49 days straight is not possible. That mine would go insane. I am a crystal meth user myself who has been clean 8-years and the longest I stayed awake was a week. At that point I was hearing things that weren't there, seeing bugs in my apartment and on my floor, and having conversations with entities that nobody else could see. That was after one week. It's absolutely impossible to stay awake for 49 days straight.

In 6 month with NO support what so ever, I had a job, house and car and got them back. My daughter is now 19 and at Akron University in Ohio on full scholarship. My son is 16 and in high school. I had 3 more since then. But grinded and grinded. I had no choice. I had to prevail. Now I've been at my job for over 6 yrs and make $80+k a year. Drive a Mercedes-Benz. And did it all myself. All the excuses didn't matter. Couldn't matter. I had to succeed and I'm still only getting further and further every day. With no support either.

Everything he says about West Virginia is true. Appalachian people are very tough, but it is such a difficult culture. Families generally do not support each other and the poverty is horrible.

    Lurch seems like a nice guy, definitely a victim of his circumstances. I’ve been in their situation where all I had to my name was a few bags of clothes that I took from hotel to hotel or sleeping in my car. Homelessness feeds addiction. It’s next to impossible to get clean unless you have a stable place to live and are away from all your old people, places and things that you did drugs with. In 13 days, I will be 4 years clean. It is possible!
