[@Globelle]

God Bless you. Keep up the good fight. My stepson was 19 and died from Fentanyl. My 22 yr old son is Geno and in rehab now. PLEASE pray for him. Our other 4 kids (adults) don't want to lose another brother to addiction

[@mattpeterson5738]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Prayers for you and your family.

[@mattpeterson5738]

Matt Peterson Thank you Matt for sharing your story really touched me. I’ve been in recovering for 2 years after over 20 years of hard abuse.I can relate to every thing you said.

Matt my dude I remember seeing this when yu first did it and here I am almost 3 years later and being more inspired than before.. I hope your still doing well and would love to get in contact with ya

[@lylemccomber9460]

Awesome story. I get it I am an alcoholic and if I think about being drunk I can feel it.

[@mattpeterson5738]

It's amazing the grip that it can have on us. Never stop fighting, my friend.

[@aprilhughes8175]

When I attempted suicide I purposely overdosed too. The sad part is they brought me back after 42 seconds of being dead. I cried so hard when I came to. I was so angry that I was alive! Now I beg God to forgive me. The enemy is a liar. I had relapsed and I said if I relapsed I wanted to be dead. Sad that addiction is so powerful it will bring a person to kill themselves. I am so happy to see you alive and well. With dignity and integrety. And doing what you love! You took your negative character defects and turn them into a positive and that's what I hope to do I hope to be able to get a good year under my belt I finally surrendered I don't know everything. I'm not better than anybody else who is an act of addiction or recovery. I pray and I hope that God will take my talents he will take my 5 years of college it will take my experiences as a teacher and he will take my experiences as an addict and turn my will for my life into his will for my life. Thanks again for sharing!

The pain is written on his face and in his eyes. I hope for his continued success

Last year at age 44 I had hip replacement surgery. I was 2 years sober almost to the day. We had a plan to let my parents dole out the pain meds to be safe. I made the decision to not even fill the script. Other than the anesthesia, I recovered major surgery and months of PT with only tylenol. Huge moment for me

[@mattpeterson5738]

Man that is awesome! I'm glad you made it through!

[@kellymurray9489]

Thank you so much Matt for sharing !!!!

[@Calidore1]

That’s great that you’re doing so much, Matt. You’re right that we shouldn’t have to struggle with this problem - treatment should be much simpler and quicker and widely available. Addicts should not be stigmatised. In today’s fast-moving society it’s not justifiable to send people to stew in prison for minor drugs offences. Our countries need all the manpower they can get and quick access to full time or long term employment should be the aim of rehabilitation and correctional facilities.

Thank you for sharing your story. I thought about using last night, this is just what I needed to hear. RIP Kyle. Thank you so much

Matt I tried looking for your book and ur profile on YT....please update us and post a link. I wanna read your book. This is week 3 of binge watching all the videos in the addiction series....you're the 3rd one I've connected with as a addict...I've watch ur video and updated video 3 times now!! As your story is very similar to mine 😞 We are all sorry to hear about ur BFF. Most of the bideos stories have something similar (a death of someone close)....however Kyle was your heart, I know you miss him so much!! Stay on the read of recovery...you will meet Kyle again 1 day 🥰. Thank you thank you thank you and to Shane for sharing these interviews. They really do help me. I've so close to getting into a treatment center.

@shanereinert trank you so much for giving these survivors a platform to share their story. I'm so sad that I didn't find your Chanel earlier. I'm going to share these videos with everyone that needs reassuring that recovery is possible. Thank you! Matt you're such a good soul thank you for being brave enough to tell us your struggles of addiction!

[@joshg2350]

It’s insane to hear these stories. Luckily for me I tip toed the line of addiction to pain pills, but never had my life spin completely out of control like this. I ended up going through withdrawals at home and staying off pills. I thank God everyday somehow he never let me slip this far.

[@willhelmberkly3025]

"Just say no" is a completely justifiable mantra. The reason it doesn't work is because we live in a society where moral degeneracy is encouraged rather then punished.

[@willbuck6596]

Why do we addicts beat around the bush when saying we relapsed?

[@charlenepickett3472]

Because there is guilt and shame attached to it and it is embarrassing for people to find out that you screwed up and most addicts don't want to appear vulnerable or look stupid or be viewed as a failure

Shane, how would one go about contacting you to share their own story?
