Recovering Fentanyl Addict interview-Jake

[@skinsnation4404]

For him to get clean off of one of the most addictive, life controlling substances to hit the streets of America says a lot about his will power. Also he’s very fortunate to have parents that went through that shyt with him. What a father!

I never thought I would get clean so many overdoses and I can't believe I finally feel like I got it this time. Thought I would die with something in my arm.

‘Victim mentality’ nailed it I am the partner of an addict and this is a huge part of the process- being mentally strong enough to no longer be a victim to the trauma causing addiction.

[@Queerbillyhillgay]

Addiction is a genetic disease. Trauma is not the cause of addiction, it can be a part of the problem but never the full cause. Also, anyone that was a victim to something can acknowledge that they were a victim to that thing, that’s how trauma survivors are walked through healing and acceptance in therapy, if they choose that route. That person can do that and continue healing without being in a victim mindset. Yes, there are many stuck in a victim mindsets, but getting clean and free isn’t as simple as your comment suggests. Still, congratulations for your partners recovery journey. Each and everyone in recovery from addiction is a miracle. My clean date is 04/29/2021

[@LittlewoodSD]

Hey bro, I’m 51 years old and I’m coming up on four years clean in December. you have a good jumpstart on this. Keep up the good work. Don’t ever give up, don’t ever give up.

[@phoebeb.332]

@@LittlewoodSD did the pandemic finally give you the push to get out? I know it did for me. I’m on MAT but am 100% stable and have gotten my life back. No more double life! For like 20 years I worked extra hard to appear as if I was functioning fine, held down a full time job, etc. Life is a lot easier now. I can focus on healthy priorities now. Anyway- good for you.

[@aj2505]

This shows how important support is when recovering from addiction, he's very lucky to have such loving parents unlike so many other addicts

[@NotWokebutAwake.]

It's next to impossible on your own. Not completely unheard of... but almost!!😢 And friends and family get burnt and hurt and give up on you when what you need more than anything is their support when you decide you're ready. Forgiveness is necessary for both party's.❤

[@lynnharts77]

My mom stopped talking to me. She hung up the phone on me as soon as I told her I was struggling with money and was about to lose her house bc I was an addict. Years later, I moved in with her and my sister in Florida to get back on my feet from being homeless. The tension between me and her was thick. She told me she regretted moving away and leaving my son. The next night I found her on her bedroom floor, she passed away from a heart attack. I blamed myself for putting her through so much stress throughout the years.. she was also my biggest enabler and that's one reason why she moved away.

[@lynnharts77]

Also, my dad's side of my family disowned me. I've been clean for 6 years now and they still won't have anything to do with me. The whole reason I even started using was because I didn't handle my dad's death well.

[@NotWokebutAwake.]

@@lynnharts77 same here hunny... I couldn't handle my husband's death either. Everyone deserves and needs that support system and there's nothing like family. Even if its not the one we were born into. Sometimes we choose our family for certain reasons. And that's ok. I, unfortunately, had no support and even though my family and I are on the mend, my recovery is a topic that is off limits bc it's a wound that still cuts very deep even after 13 yrs of sobriety!! But any support is a blessing for sure! So take whatever and whoever is willing to be there by your side and to have your back!!💜Blessings and light💜Dee from Louisiana.

Jake… you are inspiring. As a 38 year old recovering addict who used most of their twenties and into my thirties, I wish so badly I had taken it seriously earlier. The amount of legal trouble I have dealt with bc of my addiction is astounding. Not to mention the costs of lawyers and restitution. My parents although so disappointed and sad with my actions, never gave up on me. Now as a parent I see everything so differently. I will have 2 years in a month and I couldn’t be happier.

453 days clean from fentanyl, plus everything else. I remember watching Jake’s first interview while I was still in active use and related so much to him. It’s awesome to watch this now while also being in recovery. It definitely has been a rough battle and took me so many tries but I am so grateful I am still here and had the chance to get sober. If I’m being completely real I should be dead considering everything I did in active use. I think I survived for a reason. This is the longest time I’ve ever been sober and I’ve had to endure a lot of pain to get where I am now. Things are still tough and I’m fighting everyday for a better life. Since I was using hard drugs for pretty much most of my developmental stages in life, I’ve had to learn how to deal with life on life’s terms. I’m still learning and it’s really a never ending battle but I am in such a better position than I was and am proud to be where I am considering everything I’ve been through. I am grateful to be alive and clean, just for today.
