      This type of honesty is much easier than the interior shame, guilt, and hopelessness. Maybe not for every addict, but when you're a crackhead your secrets keep you sick. Owning those secrets is the way away from the pipe, maybe the only permanent way. I misspent 20 years afraid and ashamed. I'm not either anymore, 6 years free 3/22.

    When I was 15, I snorted my first line of coke.
    When I was 18, I tried smoking crack for the 1st time..
    I was able to maintain a job while smoking crack, it wasn't until I was 25 and tried injecting crack, that my life started to spiral out of control..
    I ended up serving several terms in Prison..
    Fortunately, I have turned my life around and am now on the straight and narrow, living a wholesome, virtuous life.

    I went through abuse, emotionally and physically, not to Marvin’s extent. It still haunts me and drug and alcohol abuse has been with me for most of my adult life. I admire Marvin’s strength on holding it together, but the pain is in there, and I know it’s deep. I just want to give you a hug mate. So so much respect for you and like many of the other comments, NEVER judge a drug addict, you don’t know their pain.

    Holy shit, I can't imagine missing that huge part in your life that is your mum. I can't begin to imagine lying in bed every single night and just aching and wanting and searching for your mum, at such a young age, he must've been so lost without her. I'm sorry Marvin, I hope you raise a beautiful son

      Brought tears to my eyes this … I’m raising him to the best of my ability… he’s happy, has early signs of autism - but aren’t all us Greeks mad men - we smash plates at weddings 😅 haha keep in touch over at Real Porridge Podcast 💯😇

      @@leemarvinhitchmanciaratell3450 your story brought tears to my eyes man. I was at work on lunch n all but couldn’t help myself. I’m so pleased that you can pass your strength, courage and life lessons down to your beautiful son. You’ll already be such an amazing dad from your experiences alone and I’m confident that you already have so much meaningful love to give him! But aye, you’re all mad anyway! If he’s autistic, it’ll just mean he needs a little extra support, but he will have so much passion for what he loves, and the small moments will be so meaningful!
