It's pretty much impossible to explain what Opiate Withdrawal is like to someone that hasn't been through it. Words can't really describe. It's the flu multiplied by 1000, combined with pain all over your body. You're PIPING hot and FREEZING cold at the same time. Cold sweats 24/7. You don't sleep for days. You can't sit still, but walking or moving doesn't help either. Can't get comfortable anywhere. The anxiety is like a 24/7 panic attack. Your mind is RACING 24/7 because it thinks it NEEDS the drug to work properly and survive. You'll see CONSTANT images in your head of the drug, of the pills. Your brain just plays it on a loop. It's absolute torture. And the whole time this is happening, you know if you just take ONE hit, the torture ends
IMMEDIATELY. That's why they're SO hard to quit.
Smfh I'm so glad to be clean. NEVER going back! Stay strong my people FUCK that shit 💪💯💯
Sounds tough bro glad to hear you doing good! 💯💯
@@zeusfabre8445 'Preciate it brother 💯 Wasn't easy, worth every second of pain to come out the other side and not be slaves to those fuckin' things.
@@tomjohnson441 And just in case no one else has told you bro! but im fucking proud of you man
I pray everyday I don't go back!! You describe it pretty well, but I'm someone who knows it all too well. The worst part for me is that's just the first week for the rest of my life I have someone trying to kill me screaming at me in my head 24/7 "you can do it, everything will be all good" and unfortunately that someone is ME it's my voice. Stay strong friends you are not alone!!!
It’s like being under dark cloud of rain with parts of your head cold another hot,And just not feeling like yourself then diarrhea and no sleep for 2 weeks then 2 hours of the darkest dreams it’s just a section of hell.
80mg of Oxy daily for 9 years.. miserable existence got clean and can sleep at night and not worry is amazing feeling
I was on 90mg 3 times a day prescribed from my doctor at the highest dose. However when they cut me back to 60mg twice a day I just ended up finding my own stuff which eventually led to fentanyl. I'm 11 months clean with no relapses. Did 5 days of detox and got put on suboxone. Never again will I ever touch an opiate
@@gcraigen78 same I ended up on Methadone and came off that which was brutal totally clean now
@@gcraigen78 that’s a ridiculous dosage smh .
@@gcraigen78 Why would you start taking them knowing how addictive they are ? If your answer is going to be "pain" then don't bother.
@@willymaykit1482 you obviously don’t understand addiction. Therefore you have no opinion here. Sorry. Some people don’t know how addictive they can be. I was never told. Didn’t know until it was too late. Was wondering why I was feeling sick whenever I didn’t take heroin. Somehow never managed to shoot it I have no idea how but always been scared of needles and never wanted track marks. But I wouldn’t wish opiate withdrawals on anybody. It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever felt.
Recovered opiate addict. Clean for 15 years. What I wanted to mention about this video was how impressive it was that Theo allowed Bubba to pretty much tell his entire story without cutting him off or inappropriately interjecting anything, like many people hearing a story such as this would have. Nicely done.
He definitely held back, but he definitely took a few short breaths ready to say something but didn't lol
I was on them for about 10 years. Took 45 mg a day at my peak. Then knocked it down to 37.5. Then knocked it down to 22.5 for about a year. Then I just took a 7.5 to sleep for a week. Then 3.5 to sleep for a week. Then one day I didn’t need them. Did that for about a year. Would still take them on special occasions every 3-4 months but basically clean for a year. Now I’m back up 7.5 a day. Shits addicting but I’ve never had to go to rehab and I would never switch to heroine. Ain’t gonna happen. I never slept in my car or sucked dick for it. But I do like it
congratulations i’m 14 years
As someone who struggles to stay clean off of them how have you made it 15 years?
@@jonathandempsey9228 just ween yourself off. It’s not that hard. All these junkies talking about methodone and suboxene. All that shit is the same thing. Mite as well keep taking oxys at low levels.
Quitting opioids was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. If you can quit them, you can do anything
Try quiting high level Xanax.
I feel u I have quit percs and Oxus I got up to 360mg a day, and with Xanax I was up to 40mg I am a tall dude and can always get high with my tolerance levels , so I know what it’s like to fight these demons, but I’m sorry to say Yes Xanax can kill u by going cold turkey but nothing was more mentally worse than quitting Oxies when I quit bars it was me and go, these opioids have been almost a 10yr battle and it now s always a fight because u will always run into that one person who is willing to throw u a few especially when they are handicap and then boom ur stuck
@@We_Are_All_Vultures I have quit high levels of Xanax. It’s terrible.
@@kalvinmartin215 get away from the people who are always willing to throw you a few. Don’t be around anyone that takes pills. I can hear a pill bottle rattle from 20 miles away. Like blood in the water for a shark.
@@ParkerPPipe same 🙏🏻😔❤️
"Feeling all inside out" is a perfect way to describe opioid withdrawal. Spot on.
YOU GUYS ARE SAVING LIVES WITH HONEST TALK LIKE THIS
Respect to you both. Hopefully people listen but at least when they are ready this is here.
No their not
@@cbl4012 you sir is what we call human scum Merry Christmas
@@dorianunderwood554 bahahaha coming from fumunda??? Hahahah riiiiite
As a pro fighter, lots of injuries, lots of training, doctor visits and stolen prescription pads, it was just “normal”. I had a strict regimen, no matter how I felt, I stuck to my “medication doses”. 2 Vicodin in the morning, 2 at noon, 2 before first training, 2 before last trading, and two after. Then weekends were “free for all accompanied by black out drunk sessions. I justified it. I’m in great shape, have a house, family. I’m not a bum sucking dudes off in a parking lot. Then, supply dried up. I was sick, angry, violent. Then the depression and panic attacks kicked in. I was in a personal hell. Existential thinking on top of that made things feel unreal, hopeless. I couldn’t move, eat, work, etc. I laid on the couch smelling like an insurgent. My wife made excuses about me, the kids ignored their zombie dad that lay on the couch 24/7. Finally got up, got moving. Had to take low dose of sertraline, finally got out of my own head. I’ve fought in cages, I ran ops in various countries and a MARSOC marine, I’ve been through the hardest of training, but nothing, nothing compares to the personal battleground of addiction. I got better, I slipped a little, not too bad. Home life was so busy that the addiction to opiates faded and was replaced with my daughters smiles and plenty of family time. Been fine for years now. Once and a while the feeling hits me, that need for that warm glowing feeling of that drug hitting your system. What I can say is those going through that hell, wondering if they can even make it, you can. Do not give up. I know it feels like eternal hell at the time, you can do it. Keep a strong circle around you and stay busy. You can make it. And you’ll be writing long comments soon enough like this about how you persevered. Semper Fi.
Legend, stay strong thanks your your story, it will help motivate others! Thanks ✌️
I appreciate you and your story.
Much love bro... So well said. Its a battleground.
YOU’RE STORY IS INSPIRING 💯💯💯💯KEEP STRONG 💥💥💥
Dark days, Bright nights…Best album ever. One of my very FAVORITE all time artists. Bubbas music got my through my introduction, spiral and survival of addiction. Glad to see you doing well Sir.
8:45 this is important. Doctors WILL tell you that "you can't get addicted if you're just using for pain" and that's a blatant lie.
BLATANT!!!
Not anymore. Doctors are hella scared to prescribe pain meds and if they have any suspicious you’re abusing them they’ll cut you off immediately
6:39 I really respect and appreciate Bubba for being transparent about suboxone being a part of his journey. It helps others know they’re not alone; especially how stigmatized MATs are in many recovery programs.
2023 will be 11 years off heroin/opiates for me. Although I was on it for far too long, Suboxone allowed me to take the steps towards stabilizing my life. I got off subs in 2020 during the pandemic and it was like a 6 month taper but life is so good. I’m grateful for the medication and everyone sharing their stories.
I’m currently weening myself off of fentanyl and the past 2 years of my addiction have been hell. Please don’t fuck with opiates or Xanax. His description of giving the money and waiting for them and missing things or having to white knuckle through things you should enjoy are so accurate and truthful it’s refreshing to hear a famous addict talk about similar experiences
I wish you nothing but the best brother. Stay strong man, you're absolutely killing it and it the worst days are behind you.
... or alcohol. Benzos and alcohol can kill you if you go cold turkey.
Find a ketamine clinic. It helps. Does a reset.
I’m ok with Xanax and opiates it’s speed that’s my issue.
Xanax opiates I can be on them for months then stop, anxiety for a few days.
But speed wow. I’ve been two years clean off speed, I no if I had any I’d be bac where I was in a week. I had 16 years everyday on the stuff. To the point where I couldn’t eat without it. I couldn’t function without it. 6-8 months of hell stuck in psychosis permanently.
But everyone is different i don’t like been dopey and heavy, I like to busy on it get stuff done.
@@newchapterbegins I was like that for several years. for some lucky people it takes A LOT longer for their body to become physically attached to a chemical. finally mine kicked in. you can get addicted to opiates and then its anxiety plus the flu.
Yep. The first time I ran out and went to work I too convinced myself “I must be coming down with strep throat. Maybe even the flu” then came to the harsh realization it was the pills. Then I resorted to snorting dope for the next year and a half before I got clean June 29th 2014.
3,099 days later im still clean. Thank whatever higher power is out there!
"Yes, I do believe I know what you are saying." -Butters
Been on Suboxone for 4 years and I would be homeless without it. Real, suboxone has changed my life for the better
Same man damn near 5 yrs myself... people with the whole "well then you're not really clean" bullshit don't understand... I was spending 100+ a day on heroin and my subs run about 14 bucks a week. Doesn't take a genius to figure the difference out... No more waiting on that phone call, worrying if you got your money taken, playing phone tag with shady people or having to lie, cheat and steal just to not be sick... People that aren't addicts will never understand how much easier life is when you're not constantly craving and chasing drugs all day every day... really glad I missed this whole fentanyl crisis because I'd definitely be dead...shits scary man. Anyway best of luck bro keep it up! ✌
Me too man, I've been on it 5 but I'm ready to get off.
@@easternncbigfoot1288 KRATOM will save you!!!
@@bustercheeks4116 where can I find GOOD KRATOM???? the Smoke shop stuff dosent work for me..
Bubba is such a good guy, he used to come in to The Keg Steakhouse across the street from Coors Field in Denver. The year was 2001. He'd arrive a bit later in the evening after the dinner crowd left and often times he sat in my section so I'd make small talk while waiting on his table. He was ALWAYS very nice, had funny stories, and made me feel like we were on the same level. I'll never forget his kindness, here I was just a server and he always took the time to chat with me. He could easily been dismissive but chose to treat me like a part of his group.
As one who battled a Klonopin and Xanax addiction, I'm so glad to hear he was able to kick pills. That is the toughest thing I ever went through, wouldn't wish it on anybody. ~ Brian
im on my 4th year cold turkey off clonzepam. still a nightmare but better than the last couple years i guess
@@wanderbread4217 that's awesome you were able to get off it, I too had problems years afterwards. I noticed after 6 years and LOTS of time solo outdoors that I began to turn the corner. It's now been 11.5 years since I took my last pill and I can honestly say that I feel "normal" again. The biggest challenge I had was to not kick my own ass every day for what I went through. Self forgiveness is HUGE in our situation. Yoga helps a bunch and so did epsom salt soaks each night as I had a horrible time sleeping after I got that garbage out of my system. I sincerely wish you the best WanderBread, take good care of yourself ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures ive had stomach issues now for over a year where i didnt before. i cant eat wheat , dairy, anything artificial. i eat very few types of foods.
Glad to see you back looking an feeling healthy bubba. Prayers going out to anyone battling this shit . My sister contracted a brain disease a few years back n the pills were almost worst then the disease smh. 🙏🏽
Had a 150 mg a day habit for 5 years lost everything job, home,ended up in jail for some reason my girl stayed by my side ,now it's going on 3 years clean new home,job , recently got married last year I can tell GOD has his hand on me ,and I'm more than grateful someone needs to hear this, it gets better just believe and have faith 💙💙💙
💯💯
I have a similar story. 15 Oxy every day 3 bars of Xanax. I lost everything and everyone except my girl who is my wife now. Clean for 4 years and life is amazing. Gd bless!
@@alexk.6315 God bless you so glad to hear that you overcame your struggles 💙 keep fighting GOD got us.
Datz crazy we share the same story God is Able all praises 2 him
You got a keeper brah...not many around anymore, sadly. Loyalty💯.
I had brain surgery 11 years ago. I was prescribed well over 120 mg of opioids per day. Laws in Tn changed and I had to go to a Pain Clinic, instead of my doctor. That was a rude awakening, but a blessing in disguise. They had to change my dosage often to lower it. I never knew that I was addicted because I had always had them for so many years. Oh my God, withdrawal is the worst. It’s impossible for anyone to understand that hasn’t went through it. I still had the pills, but my prescription kept dropping every month. So before I could finish withdrawals , I was going through it again. I thought I was dying 😢😢 So my thoughts and prayers go out to anyone that’s addicted or going through withdrawal. I’m still not completely off them, but at a reasonable amount, hoping to cut it in half again this year🙏🏻🙏🏻 This interview was awesome and Bubba told it how it was and didn’t sugar coat anything. Good job guys.
I hope everything works out for you, Will.
What a great interview. Dig Bubbas honesty and openness about his addiction.
I quit heroin RIGHT BEFORE fentanyl hit the streets. I count my blessings everyday
Damn rite to that! I feel the same way!
wow that is very lucky and im super happy that your clean!!
Remember in the 80s 90s and even the 2000s the war on drugs campaigned that just one hit kill you. Now it’s actually true.
I am so glad you did. fentanyl is from the fing devil. Took my husband 12 years ago. almost took my son in Jan. Thank god he is a sober living house and he has been clean for 11 months but FUCK it all
i found out the hard way fent was in everything, but either way im still here and i quit after that. kratom, subs or methadone are still far better options than dying.
8:40 felt that personally. A few years ago I had my hands torn up breaking up a dog fight. Had nurses come in 3 or 4 times telling me I "needed" to take something for the pain. At this point I was a little over 3 years sober from drugs. I just told them no thanks. Finally the last one came in, just insisting. Had to finally tell her if they give me an opiate there's a very good chance I won't stop taking it. She got it and they left me alone. Let me tell ya, them stitches hurt boy. But I'd choose that pain sober any fucking day of the week over a relapse
God bless your strength.
Good job!
Sucks that you had to do it that way but very admirable that that’s how bad you wanna stay clean 👏. (No pun with the hand clap) 😂
Dude you're awesome. I mangled my hand and got prescribed oxycontin. Then I battled opiates for years. You are smart to say no to that junk.
@@jimsmith2844 Ain't nothing "smart" about it, brotha. I'm not any better than any grave of an addict. No one wants to an addict. When I finally decided to truly want to get sober a lot of things lined perfectly in my life. I got very lucky. I'd be an idiot to think lightning could strike twice and I won't throw that away. I got too many friends in the grave to take it for granted
I’m on day 4 of detoxing after I relapsed after 5 years sober. The respect I have for all that beats these damn pill addictions is unmatched. I feel like the world war biggest idiot after a 3-4 week slide that cost me my biggest accomplishment. I will beat it again and restart the streak, but wanted to share to reiterate this is a life long fight never let up. I really thought week one relapse I got this my knees are killing me by 3 and 4 same old Mike was back SMH.
Fight through it , It happens. I never experienced opiate addiction, I sincerely feel for you tho. I quit cigarettes and felt on top of the world. You'll be back on top bro💪🏽peace and positive vibes to your success and mental health
I did the same thing but only had 2 years clean. Don't beat yourself up cause it's almost normal to slip up. I'll now be 3 years sober in January. If you did it once you can do it again. I have faith in you.
I struggled with the same addiction most of my life until I did a large dose of magic mushrooms. I no longer have any desire for heroine, cocaine, Dilaudid, or oxy
Day 3-4 kicking fentanyl 😢
Pray for me
These convos are awesome. It's heavy serious shit surrounded by love, laughter and real talk. Thank you Theo.
Love it… came in the program and stayed since 2007. Celebrating 15yrs on the 27th of December!
Good to hear these dudes having g an honest conversation about addiction. It's crazy to me how people glorify getting high and then act like addiction will never happen to them like that. I know alot of people who said that who are six feet underground now. Crazy thing is dying isn't the worst part. It's living everyday like you're already dead. Glad I don't live like that anymore and I'm telling you from experience it's better to just be sober .
That’s it- it’s a living death.
@@BGeezy4sheezy no doubt
Bro I wish more celebrities were this open. I also struggled with opiate addiction for 10 years.. I graduated to IV heroin... Thank God I'm 3 and a half years clean.
Subs have saved my life, I am forever thankful for them. Great video
I've got a bad memory. It was probably 2 years ago. But I do remember Bubba was supposed to perform at a bar in my small town kill devil hills nc one night. The bar was packed and excited, he never showed up. We were told he was having "his own issues". I'm really glad to see him doing better.
Dang that’s sucks
Everything Bubba said is 100% facts, I’ve been there and could not have said it better myself.
We just didn’t know back then, we thought you could do them recreational like weed or alcohol, then you go to fall back or quit and you literally get sick.
My cousin just passed away the other day from an overdose. He was 42. He was a genuinely nice guy. Had these demons though. It really is an epidemic. Nothing is being done. Young men and women are dying everyday and nothing is really being done about it. Peace yall.
RIP to your Cousin 🙏 lost my Cousin Mikey to Fentanyl two months ago..
Bubba and Theo thank you for being real and telling truth as someone with dealing with alcoholism
Good to see Bubba doing well. Loved that deliverance jam bro!
I hung out with Bubba on my 21st birthday party in Treasure Island, FL. It was a good time.
Opiods ruined my dads life, he was a great dad raising 2 kids, got in a car wreck. Fast forward 8 years and I get to see him 2 times a year max and hes halfway across the country, and he cant ever get a normal job again because of our shitty drug laws in america. Anyways, if i ever go to the hospital and they try to put me on anything, FUCK NO. ill stick to my weed, those drugs mess up anyone, no matter how good a person
Sorry to hear that fam. Praying for you and Papa 🙏
Thank you Theo! This is the podcast interview that I didn't know I needed!
deliverance is still a song I listen to that brings me out of dark places. thanks Bubba.
My dad was on them for almost my whole life. Mid 90s and he would go to Doc’s office and steal pads outta office and write his own scrips. He was taking 80 7.5 hydrocodone a day at his highest. He used all of them over the years but those were his favorite. He got clean last few years of his life and I’m glad but his body gave up on him at 55. Good luck to anyone trying to get off and remember everyone loves you and wants the OLD YOU back.
I so appreciate him be so transparent with addiction to opiates. This is so real. I was addicted in a somewhat similar way, I was a child when I was started. But I also knew nothing of addiction or dope sick or what any of it was. And it last 23 fuckin years. I also greatly appreciate him being so real about MAT (medically assisted treatment) especially in my case my brain is completely ruined by drugs and being started as a middle school child (by my dad n his doc friends) my brain never developed properly and I can not just live normally with no medications unfortunately. But with the help of therapy and a really supportive program I am 2 years sober. And it’s true what he said you only take ur dose and it doesn’t need to ever go up. Most people actually end up going down. Also you can not get any type of high from it. Regardless of the amount. And it blocks you from getting high even if you do relapse one day n use ur drug of choice it won’t work. It’s not possible to get high. At least in my case and that’s what the rehab doc told me. And trust me in the beginning I tried. No dice. I never tried traditional drugs I completely stopped drinking at all by like 18. I didn’t plan on ever becoming addicted. I was the good kid. But them opiates get everybody unfortunately. And I was started in the prime of the epidemic starting in the 90s and early 2000s. I was stuck secretly struggling until about 37. I’m now 39. I was what they call a “functioning addict”. I HATE THAT TERM! I felt like I was dying and I hated myself n my secret life. No one in my regular life knew anything. I hid it all somehow. But by my mid 30s I was so bad off mentally I was praying every night that I’d die n not wake up tomorrow!!! I had tried every single road I knew to get sober with no luck. I knew I needed help. Thank god by 37 I was finally accepted into treatment the same one I’d begged to get into for years unsuccessfully. It’s been amazing. I’m hugely into therapy now. I’m still in MAT. ITS nothing like regular addition. I’m sure some folks have abused the system. But I genuinely wanted help and it worked wonders in me n for me. I hate the bad rap it gets. My entire self esteem has done a 180. I’ve delt with all my childhood abuse and my life of traumas I told no one about before. I LOVE therapy! In year 2 I still go to go into my treatment center and do some form of therapy 3x a week. When I started I did 7 days a week. It’s intense but so worth it. 23-25+ years straight of use is not fixed over night. I’m so thankful for meditation that works so well without any high at all. I mean none. Now everyone is different and I know my journey is uniquely min. Please don’t hate on anyone. 😢😢😢😢
Damn I'm about to be 38 and I started when I was 15. 23 years later and my mental game is rough. Even if I get sober my brain is so all over the place I can hardly function. Or my mental shit will keep me in the house, then I'm getting high a day later so yeah I feel ya about the mental part being so fucked up for such long abuse to everything
Fuck slavery. And that's what it is.
Sounds like a tough journey uve been on many people don't ur pain but u should be very proud where ur at and hopefully u deal with that trauma cuz thats usually where everything starts
I hear you . I started in 1994 and I still slip up sometimes. Hard to believe I’ve been using for 28 years.😢
God bless you. You are strong and brave and worthy of a fulfilled life. ❤
Insightful. Thx for the interview
Watching him be so forthcoming is a beautiful thing!
Bubba sparxxx Deliverance,
Is STILL on my play list and it shuffle plays on my car radio atleast twice a week! No joke deliverance is in my top 10 favorite songs of all time...I remember the first time hearing it on the radio back in 03
I'm also an opiod addict...still actually...since 06
My dad and I were huge Bubba Sparxxx fans when I was a kid. Especially his first couple albums, “hey Betty Betty hush your mouth, let me tell you something”. Always wondered what happened to him, this interview is great. All his reasoning makes sense and it sucks he got hooked on em
Take Off was my 'go to' song for testing out sound systems
Wow best video in a long time
Proud of everyone on this thread and Bubba for getting off opiates.
Subs saved me too, was shooting H for years, tried to kick with Methadone, but Subs helped more than any other pharma, cannabis helps too. I been needle free for 15 years now.
I’m in recovery and went on tour with bubba 5-6 years ago… he’s a good dude… has his struggles like the rest of us but super humble… I was a nobody opening act and he brought me on stage after my set in Michigan cuz it was my birthday and got chicks to come on stage and give me lap dance while he did me new booty lol
That sounds freaking amazing, what a truly awesome memory. Respect from Michigan (Muskegon)

Bad arse story
Congratulations to all that made it through ❤ keep ur head up …
I can't believe Ugly came out over 20 years ago!?! Before 9/11!
That was one of my favourite tunes back then. Early 00s was one of the best times of my life, it's great to see Bubba still looking good and doing his thing. Had no idea he battled such terrible addictions. I hope he's still making a good living from his music
Bird dawg bird dawg.
Wow. Time flies
At 19 after being on perk 30s "fentanyl" for a year and a half, 4 of my friends overdosed in that time, finally went to rehab, stayed there for 7 days was on subutex came out and never touched it again. 4 years clean now. You gotta really want it for yourself, and you can't help someone that doesn't wanna help themselves. But not only is it possible but you will beat it, for anyone out there that needs it I believe in you, and you need to believe in yourself
Great content Theo, thank you!
Appreciate your honesty sir 🙏 🙌 one day at a time
Straight up I had no clue he was into that shit, props to him on being sober 15 years, shits "ugly" and I been off them for going on 3 years now, I strongly advise anyone with opiate addiction to look into the sublicade shot, was on it for a year and a half, got off it withdrawal free and never looked back
Sublicade?
When you’re addicted it’s no longer getting high, it’s “getting normal”. “Getting well”. No one wants to feel like shit, but we can’t keep choosing to live like that
I respect him for talking about this so much. I don't think anybody (normal citizen or famous person) needs to make it their identity, but it can do so much good sharing this stuff with the world.
I love hearing Bubbas story. Crazy thing is, it sounds just like mine, and I'm not a millionaire 😩🤣

🤣🤣🤣🙏
@@wlm7312 LMFAO thats mean but i laughed
I mean we got homeless people doing what he was doing lol
Bubba really did some great music, im happy he kicked the habit finally!
9 years on Percocet and fentanyl. Started as a prescription for Vicodin following back injury. A couple years in I was chewing 100mcg fentanyl patches. I had no idea of the risk of addiction with Vicodin when I was prescribed them. I had already done a stint in rehab for alcohol and cocaine, but clueless about opiates. It’s been 13 years and it’s still a struggle some days.
Everyday is a battle. We with you
yea whatever u do, dont blast the patches.
You made it this far. That says enough. Keep in the fight.
This is great content I really felt a lot stuff they both said. Real life rite there …..s/o Theo and bubba
Miss your music man.glad to see you around still.
20yrs on opiates myself, from lortabs, to fentanyl, Suboxone, methadone, and etc. Was taking 12mg subs with pills at the same time. I just quit it all. The worst six months of my life. But once it's gone it's gone. Almost went crazy but I made it
In the off times, he should have used Kratom to rid the withdrawal sickness. I was able to beat a 2 yr Opiate/Alcohol addiction with Kratom, 5 years sober this February thanks to the help of Kratom.
I’ve been wanting to try that, but then I hear stories about kratom being super addictive in the end. So I’ve been 50/50 on making that move.
@@psychoslingers8732 better than synthetic heroin
@@psychoslingers8732 Suboxone worked wonders for me. Was able to very slowly taper down off it. Kratom is also addictive tho but I have heard it helps as well. In the end it all comes down to you being ready to be done with opiates. If your ready you will find a way. Withdrawals are going to happen no matter what. But they do go away eventually. Sometimes it seems like they never will but I promise you things do get back to normal. The withdrawals sucked but the hardest thing for me was learning how to have fun again without pills. Adderall and opiates were the only way I could have fun. Used to love video games on them. When I quit I had to find new hobbies. Started riding a bike through town to help with the Jimmy legs at night, which I highly suggest some sort of cardio for withdrawals, and that turned into weight lifting and then I found arm wrestling. Those habits I started to help with withdrawals turned into the things I love to do now. The day will come when your ready to be done. When that day comes just make sure you totally sell out to that thought and stay with it. A normal life again is possible.
@@psychoslingers8732 yeah, because there's absolutely no reason a pharmaceutical company would ever try to tarnish the reputation of a natural substance that can end addiction to their drugs, right?
Helped me quit stimulants
Peace to bubba, good to see him in a clear space. Bro had bangers.
Opioid addiction is SO HARD to kick since they fix every problem and feel amazing. Once you feel that warmth it’s almost impossible to live without, but the suffering that comes with it is almost a blessing because that’s the only thing that will make you want to quit
Dude suboxone is the way I became proactive in my daily life…. To anyone who didn’t need subs god bless. But I’ll be damned if the same people who are addicts just like me, are now judging…. That’s when it gets messed up .
Nothing worse than addicts judging other addicts. You have the pious ‘if you are on subs, you aren’t clean’. Those types of addicts drive me mental.
Same boat. I mean to be a stickler it's not clean clean, you're still on some strong stuff. But yeah compared to the alternative it is
It feels like it is clean for sure.. til you don't have it
I am no longer physically addicted but I still am definitely psychologically. Only thing keeping me from being full blown addicted is I can no longer afford it. Seems like it’s an endless cycle but I’m hoping I’m nearing the end of this bs.
Wow...great clip. God bless
We miss you Bubba! I still bump your stuff, old and newer.
5:00 , 100% wasting hours waiting and texting, checking phone non stop is the worst.
Bro! Sitting in a parking lot , not even knowing if your gonna score, waiting and looking at your phone waiting for a text back.
Yep the worst part is that doesn't allow us to learn what a mess
I kicked a 300 pills a week habit 20 years ago.
Great Show!
7 1/2 Years Sober here in Jesus mighty name 🙏
For anyone that’s trying to get sober off opiates. High amounts of vitamin C will help with withdrawals every couple of hours. Good luck 🙏🏽
Man been there. It hurts so bad. Still taking suboxone 9 years later. Clean but still addictived I guess. God bless
Love this stuff
I had bubba perform at my spot in Tampa. He was feeling “sick” he still went out and performed. Then to the hospital he went
I always wondered what happened to him. He was hot for a minute and liked his stuff , sounds like a good dude and hopefully stays healthy and around .
My story is the same as Bubba’s. I was on opioids for 5 years, heroin for the last year. Finally detoxed with subs and other meds. It sucked, but it looking back, if wasn’t nearly as difficult as I was lead to believe. Cigarettes were more difficult to quit for me.
Excellent info
thank u bubba for saying that. im on subs too
I'm 11 months off opiates after a 10+ year addiction. I haven't relapsed at all and don't plan on touching a opiate ever again. Last 3 years I was smoking fentanyl and I was clearly killing myself. I did 5 days of detox and am on suboxone but feel 1000% better then I did 12 months ago by a long shot
It’s so scary getting being addicted to something and not knowing it. I remember waking up hungry and cold had some coco puffs and hoping in the shower to get ready for school and I got in the shower and threw up everything.I didn’t know what was wrong with me,lucky my Dad was in the war and knew what was going on with me
Which drugs and how much? Did you get clean? I have nearly 7 years and I used methadone to get clean. Always here for advice.
Bubba , I commend you man. Much love from LaGrange.
I got heavy into fent when I moved to California with high hopes and eventually settled down in skid row and was taking more blues than I’d like to admit and luckily met a girl online and months later got a plane ticket to ohio to stay with her and I have been clean ever since. A fresh clean slate is what it took to get unhooked and if I can do it anybody can. I went through heck and back to find my peace and I don’t have to think about it anymore. I think my lifestyle back in cali cultivated my addiction and dope was so available it just became a norm of life. But moving away was better than any rehab I have ever went through
That hoodie is fire
I left out from mama's with my thumb in the wind
The leaves on the ground, winter's comin again
Solid on the surface as I crumble within
But legends are made out of vulnerable men
So on the brink of death I still manage livin life
Cause so rarely in this world are these chances given twice
I indeed sold my soul, without glancing at the price
No instructions when I was handed this device
But with what I did get, I was more than generous
Put others over self on several instances
But I'm back on my feet without a hint of bitterness
And one way or another I shall have deliverance
So I say
Best bubba song, one of the best ever in general. The video is dope
“My opinion & $2.50 will get you a coca cola” thats such a cool statement & the way he said it in his accent sounded like something out of a western, i always overlooked Bubba Sparxx when he was popular but this man seems wise asf 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Funny cause I could binge drugs and liquor never get no withdrawals and stop for months on end but when sober life gets boring and I bounce back just to get that old feeling back then it’s the same cycle over and over
Love to see theo opening up these stand up men on his show. Would like to see boosie back.
He bust them wide open. 😆 🤣 😂
Hard to believe somebody who partied knew nothing about a withdrawal after 6 months of taking percocet, but still, yeah, I can relate.
It happens everyday.
Theo is a brilliant interviewer.
I struggled for 15 yrs with pain pills and heroin, Suboxone worked for me too...good video theo
Such a down to earth honest guy .
I'm on methadone have been for over a decade. NEVER take methadone unless prescribed. It will kill you .
will you od if u arent prescribed it
@@kenju8929 yes. Methadone is incredibly powerful drug. It's much more potent than dilaudid morphine even heroin at doses most addicts are on. For example I'm on 130 mg which is quite high. 50 mg could easily be fatal to someone with no opioid tolerance. Methadone also has a half life of 48 hrs which means the effects last at least 24 hours . You would not have a good time. You'd be puking your face off feeling like you're dying. And could easily be fatal. Narcan only works for 30 mins really so if you od on methadone get narcaned you will reoverdose once the narcan wears off. Methadone causes significantly more respitory depression than suboxone and is much more dangerous
@@kenju8929 the methadone clinics here have lines that wrap buildings. Baby strollers,kids in any weather is heartbreaking. Take the hard battle now and get off it all rather than drag it out for the rest of your life. Even if persisted I would suggest not touching it. Just is going to be your new addiction
I used to go on opiate binges and never got mentally addicted, but I'd get the withdrawels after. I was really surprised at how fast you can get withdrawels. Like after a 2 week binge. I eventually stopped because I wasn't getting the nod anymore.
Your profile pic made flat beat play in my head lol
People need to talk about this kind of jazz more often , cause it’s so relevant in our time ,, 9 out of ten men in my guess are intoxicateing themselves , this really is an issue , men are more and more intoxicating themselves and and real man knows the value of sobreity , there is a tremendous amount of value to sobreity , and kudos to the most for posting this why one of the best rap

I met him once, and I was at a cafeteria in college. He was on an official visit with his nephew. He was surprised I knew who he was, and I'm like Nikka. I saw your tattoo. He was kool AF. Just went thru the same experience from back issues. I got off easy, tho. Respect to anyone with back issues. 💯
Drugz are bad, mmkay
@@9pathNick Sounds like the pimp teaching Butters.
Mmkay.
Alcohoool..alcohol is bad mmkay.
Very bad lol
is it jus me buuuuuuut isnt that tha weirdest way to get hooked on a drug "ice fishing accident in cananda"😂😂
That every day chase man. That’s the Boweling alley feeling he taking about.
Thx for speaking out on ur experience
I'm clean of opiates since 2015 & I did have a surgery a few years after that & took vicodin afterwards but didn't finish the bottle & didn't like them anymore, couldn't believe I used to go out of my way to feel like that everyday & I'm grateful for having that perspective, I think the final withdrawals of quitting methadone years ago have rewired my brain to associate all the good & bad feelings together into knowing I don't want anything to do with that poison anymore
