    If I make it until Christmas Day, I'll be 28 years off the meth. I mainlined a bunch of it. The cool thing is that I just turned 55 in August, so I've been off the needle for over half of my life. Recovery is possible. You have to want it. If it's worth having, it's worth working for. Merry Christmas y'all.

    I want to thank everyone who has been reaching out and being so kind to me. I was really nervous to do this video, but I felt it was important to show others struggling that it’s possible to get sober no matter what you’re addicted to. Congratulations to everyone who celebrated even one day sober today and to those who are still fighting just know that I understand it feels impossible but there’s people all over the world that will help you if you want out. Thanks again for all the love, I definitely don’t deserve it but it means the world to me ❤

A few months ago a man was walking around the roads geeked out carrying a ball bat. They found him dead later on that day in a house behind where I work with a gunshot wound. Stay safe.

    My best friend, his dad passed when he was young, from a heart attack.. His mom got badly burned cooking meth. He was like fifteen at the time, and his mom was in the burn center for some time. When she was able to leave the burn center, she was prosecuted. She got around three yrs in prison. The whole time she was going through that, he was at home alone. He continued to go to high school and worked at Sonic to pay all the bills.. After his mom got released, he allowed his mom to come live with him, because she had nowhere else to go. He loved his mom, even after all that happened, he gave her a place to lay her head.

I don't like Trump, BUT in this country, you've got the right to vote for whoever you chose. All I ask is you realize it affects us all and take the time to research YOUR decision to the level it should.

    Kickin after 14 years of Fentanyl+ nearly killed me and I had to be medically monitored as blood was coming out of 3 holes.

    Originally from RI - found myself settling in Scottsboro, AL temporarily after I got back from overseas during the pandemic and visited my parents in Mentone, AL. I probably hear the term "meth mountain" at least once a month.
    Alabama is beautiful and I highly recommend checking out the southern way of life versus where I come from up North - it's definitely got some perks.
    But just like everything that is beautiful in life, there's also the ugly side - whereas pills and heroin wreaked havoc on everyone I grew up with in Rhode Island, down here pills and methamphetamine seem to have taken just as many lives. Nowadays it looks like fentanyl is killing everyone everywhere.
    I'm glad I made it out alive over 10 years ago.

    Two years ago I took a road trip through this area and ended up on the Little River Canyon Rim Pkwy. It was a midweek day and we seemed to be the only car on the drive. After a few miles and a couple stops for pictures, I noticed an old 1980s Pontiac that seemed to be following us. I pulled off a final time to see if he would follow, and he did. I immediately cut a u-turn and passed right past him and saw one of the most gaunt, methed out faced I've ever seen, gawking at us. Needless to say that was the last stop we made. Not sure what that man's intentions were, but the idea that the hills have eyes in these parts is very true.

    Man, I appreciate your contact and what she got through... I've had 7 levels of fusions in my spine and multiple surgeries. I was oblivious to addictions and how prescription painkillers affect people until I was finally feeling pretty good after about 6 years of recovery from the surgeries and fusions but I had absolutely no clue how horrible it would be to get away from pain meds. Doctors and books claim you can just taper, easy peasy and symptoms are flu like which is the biggest lie ever told!!! Problem is, doctors who haven't experienced it believe what they were told. Flu-like for about a week, can't kill you, etc. Absolute BS thrown out by the big pharma companies so they can sell their product.
    Then when you actually try to get some help with it, the doctors step around the door and giggle with their nurses about the junkie, addict in there. Police do the exact same thing while someone is literally puking and shaking to death in their cells like they all brought it on themselves and they are so far above that! It is truly disgusting as they laugh while they watch people die and then act surprised or pretend it must have been something else.
    It is easy to see how people who have been severely injured and given pain meds turn to the street after they get nothing but ridiculed and treated as junkies by the same community who prescribed it in the first place. The only thing they do is send people to a "Pain Clinic" where they keep them going so people don't get sick and if they decide they want to get away, these doctors just get pissed off and cut them off cold turkey to "Teach them a lesson about who is in control" until they come back and start padding pockets again.
    What is really interesting is that doctors get people on suboxone and methodone to get them off things like morphine and oxycodone which as the guy you interviewed said is probably worse to get off than anything...

If I had gotten therapy or just talked about my feelings I would’ve avoided 8 years of wrecking my body and mind. But we got out and that was a big reason I did the video, I want to destigmatize addiction and recovery because people will never want help if it comes with even more judgment and strings attached as in the streets.

    I lived there for about 5 years. It was so crazy for me to see how a majority of the population was on meth. It’s literally insane. I’d go through a drive thru and the person at the window was obviously on meth. It’s really sad honestly.

      I lived in Attalla and Southside. You're right. Either meth or fentanyl.

      the police must be completely useless with the lack of public social safety net. you cant prevent crimes unless you make sure peoples basic needs are being met by any means possible.

    My wife’s family is from that area. Her half sister just “got clean” after 11 years on meth - following the death of her son at age 20 due to a lumberyard accident (where a methhead was high on the job & let an 800lb log fall off the back of a truck and crush him). My wife was about to head back down to Attala for his wake & help her sister clean up her home. Due to her getting COVID, we both were in quarantine when it happened & she had to cancel the trip…the day before her sister got caught trafficking $76,000 worth of meth & meth-making chemicals for the illicit purpose of manufacturing methamphetamine (not exactly sure that’s how the charge is labeled but the jist of it).
    Every single person in her car on the way to the wake is now facing 20+ years in prison plus fines none of them will ever have the ability to pay back. Just thankful my wife has officially cut ties with them.

    I survived blowing up a meth lab about 10 years ago. 3rd degree and full thickness burns over most of my body. That was my personal rock bottom. That actually saved my life
