[@BIKELIFEAP]

My life too, but the methadone isn’t making things better as far as dependency goes. I’m at 132mg scared to death to get off

[@imalright1752]

@@BIKELIFEAP I feel you bro I been too scared to even start and there’s a methadone clinic literally 1.3 miles from my house that doses for $17 a day. Instead I piss 40 every morning on bs fty just so I’m okay for the next 24 hrs. Financially it would be much cheaper, easier and closer cause I have to drive 30 mins to cop each morning so the clinic being 5 mins away and only $17 is a lot better than the alternative but I’m just scared of methadone cause all the ppl I seen coming off it in jail were in baaaaad shape and I was in bad shape but methadone looked worse and just everything I’ve read about how no matter what you end up dealing with discomfort eventually one way or another so in theory it would make more sense to suffer for a week kicking dope instead of suffering 2-4 weeks kicking methadone but then again I’m sure the goal is to taper down to a small daily dose so if that’s possible maybe the withdrawal is minimal? Idk I’ve only taken methadone about a dozen times and never kicked it and my knowledge about it is limited. But at the end of the day you’re going the better route, the same route I should be doing. It’s cheaper, safer, LEGAL, more addictive perhaps lol, and most importantly able to work on getting life back together or at least more manageable 👍🏼.

[@MrIsabella1399]

[@joannaazar7396]

I was on 180 mg. I found it helpful, I just didn’t like going every day weekends to. It took me two years to get off. Thanks for sharing

[@joannaazar7396]

Your dog is adorable. 🐶

[@lizberry5717]

Same unfortunately.....I am currently tapering off and I've been TRYING to for about 2.5 years. It's crazy how easily they will let u increase your dose but fyi: the rule is u have to see the Dr. to start decreasing. In my case, they have stopped my decrease for so many random reasons( the hurricane, issues with the computer etc...) I was up to 190 for a little while but I'm finally down to 60. I haven't gone daily since June of 2021. I go 1x a month and RN I am going down 10 a month. That changes after next month...(gets slower ) Anyway I ended up at a methadone clinic bc I was sent by my docs to pain management in 2001 for a back injury then diagnosed w fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and DDD. Spent 14 years going to the same doc. I was OVER having to juggle taking all kinds of pills all day, and my back injury happened when I was 6mths pregnant so I needed and wanted to try and put up w this pain without opiates so It was suggested to me that I go to a clinic. In my opinion methadone probably adds to my pain. It wreaks Havoc on your body and especially teeth sorry it was a novel but I really feel for this guy, and I totally get his situation and how easy it could be to go from living one way to another especially in this day and age when the cost of living is so insane! I really hope that he's able to get into his housing soon! ♡✌🏼

[@rawnarrative]

That's very insightful, thank you. I think it's interesting Doctor's can just recommend you a dose and you have to stick with it. Also, I hope they disclosed the teeth thing on day one. I'm sure he also appreciates the support from reading these comments. He's a cool guy, I wish him the best.

[@Sunnymarie842]

I hope he gets off the drugs very soon. I can relate with this guy. I had a spinal cord injury back in 2011. I spent years getting surgeries on my spine, which meant years of being on opiates to manage the pain. My last surgery was in 2015. I did not get off the opiates until 2019. I was convinced that I would always need them to manage pain or I wouldn't be able to function. I was scared at the thought of getting off of them and how awful the pain would be. Fortunately I realized the opiates were holding me back at that point. They were an obstacle just like the injury was. I am clean and sober now. I have a feeling this guy will be ok without pain meds too. There are other was to manage pain. Safe effective ways. I pray he gets the help he needs. I can tell you he is no happy or content living like he is. That cycle of drug abuse is no joke. It's hell!!!

I relate totally. I have been clean for 8 months, and I have been on Methadone for 10 years. I want to no longer be dependent on it. I was very close to having to live in a tent in the woods last winter. If it wasn't for my ex allowing me to stay with him at the last minute, idk where I'd be. It's a shame when family won't even help bc of things that happened 20 years ago, or bc ur gay. Gotta stop living in the past.

So Unfortunately this whole country will be filled with more homeless people than those who have a houses watch and see and because everything is so high and jobs don't pay what it should things will only get worst and its only a matter of time before America is the new Africa the new 3 world country.I strongly believe this because its not enough people in power that care to change policies and they will never remove those evil fks who been destroying things from every level of politicians

You wouldn't die if you came off it cold turkey. Not if you stayed somewhat hydrated and were able to eat a tiny bit. You would just be so miserable that you would feel like you were going to, and you might want to. I knew someone that cold turkeyed methadone in prison after taking a huge dose every day for 35 years plus, closer to 40 actually. Dave was in his mid 60's, and is now clean after prison. They also did heroin their whole life before that. There are plenty of amazing stories. Opiate withdrawal won't kill you if you can stay hydrated and get some food down. The body can take so much more than most people know. Your best bet would be to ween down, that would be easiest. If you like being on it and it's causing no issues than staying on it is absolutely fine. I know people who are on methadone and it causes no negative issues for them. I just wanted to mention that you definitely wouldn't die if you came off cold turkey.

[@steveshea6148]

it's very hard to get rid of trash when you're homeless and on foot. think about it, would you take a five mile walk to dispose of trash when you're broke, have chronic pain, etc. of course you could bag it and bring it somewhere that's not your camp (but not a proper dumpster or whatever, because htat's considered " theft of service" and is a crime)) so your camp is not trashed. It's also difficult to have it look neat...because you dont have shelves, cabinets, etc...just the ground. If someone ripped all the walls of your house and made all the furniture disappear but left all the stuff, your house would look messy too. That's the situation you have when you have a long term camp with a fair amount of possessions.

Nice video, I learned some stuff

[@benchippy8039]

I feel so bad for some of these people who’ve not made it in society, it’s a tough world, I only just manage to keep my head above the water. Gotta say tho the dude could tidy up His camp, especially when he’s got visitors! Wish him the best tho still

[@rawnarrative]

Me too. I love making this kind of content.

[@ChrisfromGeorgia]

I’d really like to talk to Brandon. Our stories are very similar. I want to wish him all the best! Stay strong brother! 👍🏻💯

[@rawnarrative]

Glad you can resonate with him! He's a cool dude.

I understand the problems he has worh work its not just a one thing fix all there are multiple barriers he has to overcome daily to get a job. Id stay on the gear in fhe tent too.

It’s sad hopefully you get into a house soon people should be lifting you up not putting you down that’s how the sick world is today evil I have two huskies Beautiful husky

[@Andersons999]

Why would that cop flip him off.

[@rawnarrative]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@tommyp280]

Probably because he’s acting like he was in the military.

[@sanamandingra]

Hold on Brandon. You will rise... you will see!

[@michellelloyd4811]

As a dope fiend for 22 years and serving prison time for drug related issuez, staying sober is really hard sometimes. I just lost both my parents. I relapsed but then I thought, I tried to honor them in life. I should honor them in death. I took better care of my cats than myself sometimes. Love the dog here❤❤❤❤ In prison I started exercising and using their gym. Now I'm way more addicted to weights and amateur bodybuilding not dope. I wish this young man the very best ❤ and hope he gets the help he needs and gets back his life.

[@billj4525]

Exercise is an awesome substitute. It does wonders for the mind and body. Try to keep that up with a decent diet. I love exercising. I lift a lot of weights myself, I go very heavy, and have built extreme amounts of muscle, but I also do it as my meditation for my mind, it's good for that. Sorry about your parents, sounds horrible. I can't imagine losing mine either, i'm terrified of that day. I have to actually stop thinking about it and live my life without the worry. Glad you're off the drugs and are happier in life man, keep it up. You're doing great.

[@rawnarrative]

Keep hitting those weights man. Honoring them by staying clean is great. It's what they would have wanted for you.

[@rawnarrative]

Definitely helps the mind operate more clearly. I need to get back in the gym, I let myself get skinny again.

Ive been hooked on methadone for ten years or more it sucks but it is what it is i cant seem to shake it i tried and felt so empty for over three months i was sick and depressed so ikeep taking it owell its not that bad is what i tell myself

[@JoeyAnthonyGuerra]

When we do have a chance to speak, please remind me about this particular person. I have a way I could help him seriously. I just work so much these days at my job that I am burnt out most of the time, but I do have a natural remedy for this man that can change his life tremendously in a positive way. Once again I would like to remind you this is very important for him and his well-being. Just mention the man with the husky, I will then instantly know who you are referring to. Thank you for your time. Edit: Instead of "him" I used the word them because I was subconsciously was thinking about him and his dog and I accidentally grouped them together as "them" in my original comment. Thank you for your understanding.

There are scammers out there that go to separate locations to panhandle $, they have a vehicle and they travel to scam people out of $, I’m not saying he does, but they do exist!

[@rawnarrative]

I'd love to find one of those people and interview them! Find me one por favor.

[@ScottRiddleArtist]

If he’s a disabled vet? Why isn’t the veterans administration helping him? And it’s too bad for the drugs. Because he’s obviously clever and functional enough to use his brain. So he could still work with computers or phones or? These people always have so many excuses, but never if you notice any direction for a solution. It’s just hard to take them seriously.

[@rawnarrative]

He's capable of working, he says he has some hurdles to overcome like clothes, internet, etc.

That’s amazing for you to want to help. I pay very well for these interviews since it usually spans a couple days and I follow them around a bit. That being said I’d love to start a fund but I have that planned for further on in the channel’s growth. :)

I was on methadone for 15 years and had the same excuses about pain like this guy. I quit cold turkey 7 years ago and have lbeen living my best life. Stop using your fake pain as an excuse to make people feel sorry for for you. Take accountability now and change your life.

Best advice methadone steals your soul

[@jcaylor3312]

Hey bro, I have be in the clinic for close to a year now. It saved my life and helps with the pain. I worked myself up to 3 weeks of take home bottles and that make thing a lot easier. Hang in there and do you best. Try cleaning up around your tent man. Take pride in yourself and your your home. I had back problems until o gave up the crap and stopped feeling sorry for myself. You were a soldier, take pride in that at least. Pretty much, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Peace.

Great advice. Thanks and peace to you as well.

Halo

[@rawnarrative]

I remember him saying he went over because of the second battle of Fallujah in 2004.

[@Vub.]

The problem is these people dont truly want help, they want no responsibility and to be able to do drugs in peace. He is applying for "everything he can", meaning looking for as many hand outs as he can so he can continue to ride this train.

[@mikehikes710]

Riding what train? He is off street drugs. He is on methadone doesn't get people high like dope. Methadone doesn't work like that

I PrAy you are not being sarcastic…I have been on Methadone for 10 years by my Doctor, because my spine surgeries All failed, and I had 2 choices, Fentnyl patches or methadone. Without it I cannot get through my physical therapy, walk, or move my neck. Not to mention my mental health issues. There is no chasing or running from, I make the best of each day…I Pray nobody has to go through this, all over a drunk driver that didn’t even get a scratch.

[@wonderingsoul8021]

If your dose is only lasting 10-12 hours, your dose needs to probably increase. I don't like when people take methadone and still get high bc it gives it such a bad reputation. When taking correctly, it can save lives. Best of luck!

[@rawnarrative]

He said a bigger dose makes him fall asleep everywhere because he already has narcolepsy. He only wants enough to not make him sick.

[@persephonemaeve2704]

Can he please pick up that trash?? It’s just awful and disrespectful to the planet.

After filming this he sent me a video of this area all picked up. He mentioned after the interview it motivated him to make some changes in his life.
