Beating Heroin addiction was one of the hardest things ive ever done. So i applaud anyone who has made it through!

[@CoffinNachtmahr]

One of the saddest truest episodes but I love it for that

[@RecessIntl]

Got that comment so far from everyone who listened lmao

[@CoffinNachtmahr]

@@RecessIntl we resonate with human stories episodes like that are how you expand beyond our little microcosm

[@jasonfurgiuele2632]

Stories of strength, hope and experience... lots of good stuff here, great work guys!

[@RecessIntl]

Thanks Jason! Getting that response from lots of people 🙏🏼💖 we really appreciate the listen

I quit drinking not so randomly two Halloweens ago.... I started some new meds that made me not feel drunk so I drank almost an entire bottle of whiskey and then it all hit me at once. It's dope to see two childhood heros also gave everything up. I still smoke weed, but it's very limited because like Jake said, it makes me panic.

[@Mr.ChanTheManTCG]

Loved this episode and love you both🙏🏾💯

[@RecessIntl]

Love you too bruv 💖💖 can’t wait to chill this summer and remember every detail 😂🙏🏼

[@j0j0kay]

Opiates really do feel better than anything. I posted about being prescribed oxycodone and how it made me feel after shoulder surgery and Jake reached out to warn me and let me know he was there to chat. It was a necessary talk. I did kratom for like 3 years and finally tapered off, but never went for anything heavier thanks to Jake.

[@jakebullockyoyo]

So happy you’re good brother, and i’m happy my reaching out meant something to you. No one deserves to go through that, whether they make the choice to try drugs or get told to by a doctor.

[@Yoyoist]

I’ve got hella respect for both of you, love you guys!

[@RecessIntl]

Like wise dude 💖💖💖 worlds? Nats? Can’t wait to hang 🥰💖

[@Yoyoist]

Nationals for sure! We gotta chill and yobrain a while 💖

[@RecessIntl]

@@Yoyoist I have no new tricks but maybe you can teach me 😂💖

[@Yoyoist]

It would be my pleasure 😄✨

[@88GwillY]

This was a good listen. I feel you Jake on the addictive nature of hobby collecting and falling down the rabbit hole on so many different things. I feel like a Jack of all trades but master of none sometimes but I know a lot of random shit so that’s cool I guess. Also, just hit seven years sober yesterday and man life is so much better than it was back in the day.

[@RecessIntl]

Congrats on your recovery 🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖 I think there might be some positive sides to having an addictive personality - you just have to learn how to channel it - too bad I can’t be obsessed with the stock market and not Nirvana or WW2 😂💖

[@jakebullockyoyo]

Congratulations! Lucky seven. “Jack of all trades master of none” is exactly it. I’m half decent at a million things but I haven’t found that “one” thing in my adult life. Yoyos are the closest thing to a true unfettering passion for something that I have. But I’m learning to accept and roll with that. Variety is the spice of life, my brain can’t handle doing the same thing for too long and that’s just the way it is.

[@jakebullockyoyo]

@@RecessIntlbro that’s exactly it. Why can’t I get completely obsessed with engineering or math or running a cardboard factory. Nah I’m gonna re read this book about Columbine for the 11th time.

[@88GwillY]

@@RecessIntl channeling it is definitely key! I was able to shave a ton of time and money off my masters degree because my school work became my obsession. Definitely wish that I could nerd out on stocks though too and make a killing haha 😂

[@88GwillY]

@@jakebullockyoyo thanks! It’s crazy to hit seven. The one thing that I’ve been grateful for with constantly nerding out about random stuff is keeping a growth mindset and open mind. Too many people I work with in education are too stubborn or scared to learn new things or challenge their defaults. So big silver lining there for sure on the learning and adaptability front.

[@Yoyoist]

❤❤❤

[@Messiahbolicalx]

Ive loved and played with yoyos all my life but didnt start to take it seriously until i was sober. I couldnt imagine trying to yoyo while being dope sick. Not to mention youd never be able to buy a new yoyo because all your money is going towards dope.

[@j0j0kay]

Some kid? Bro I'm 30 hahaha. RIP Danny.

[@RecessIntl]

Hahahahaha did I refer to you that way? 😂😂😂 my bad! I know you’re not a kid, I probably just didn’t wanna specifically out you or something lmao

[@j0j0kay]

@@RecessIntl It's all good haha I figured. It felt good like when I get carded for silicone at Advance Auto hahaha

[@j0j0kay]

Alcohol is absolutely worse than heroin and I'm willing to fight anyone on that lol.

[@Messiahbolicalx]

I've been through both. Over 10 years of opiate/heroin addiction and a very short alcohol addiction. The alcohol has by far the more serious wothdrawl. But id rather go through ANY other WD than Heroin. That shit is so terrible.
