So proud of both of you, Matt I knew you as a child, and had no idea you struggled with heroin. God bless you for being 10 year survivor and a 7 year survivor!
Michele Guizzetti thank you for the kind words. We’re hoping that us being open and honest about what we went through will give someone out there some hope!
Daniel Bailey, I do the same thing. This Channel is literally helping me in preventing a relapse. I’ve been in Recovery for a year and six months. This channel is Awesome!!!♥️ Take Good care of you and know that you are not alone.♥️
Daniel Bailey Have you ever watched any of Ryan Donnelly’s videos? How long have you been in Recovery? I’m one year and seven months clean of opiate pain meds and alcohol. I did a lot more than that. I was completely addicted, lost. Addiction is a horrible thing. Take real good care of yourself.♥️✌️
Great on you guys for doing this, very brave. I've been sober for 3 years not, and just recently got off suboxone maintenance. Stay safe and clean both of you!
Yep, exactly! Especially what he said about getting up early. I think everyone watching this that was or is a heroin addict knows all too well about that feeling.
I relate to it being the best time but the worse time. Lows we're way way wayyyyy low and highs were fucking high. For me my husband and I started it together and I found it exciting to have our own dirty little secret. Like I would be nodding on my husband's shoulder no one else knew what I was doing just us. Sadly yeah the addicition took over everything eventually.... We wanted to be better for each other .... Rock bottom hit. .... Stuck in a prison with this cycle.... The shitty hell on Earth of dope sickness and the desperation to get money to get dope to get well.... Oh what a ride some of the most exciting times of my life yet absolutely hellish.... Was 5 days sober then went on 3 day binge today is the 3rd day of that.... Now back to sober.... Luckily no withdrawal
I stumbled across the suboxone video and decided to watch this one and I’m going to watch the others ones you guys have. This is awesome. I’m two years clean off pills & h but still am using sub maint. Watching your video about getting of sub, is really inspiring. Keep at it guys!
Being an Addict is a 24/7 JOB!!! It’s Painful and It Will Steal Everything From the Person! I feel for Everyone suffering from it, & Everyone that Loves an Addict! It’s Hell, But There is Hope.😊♥️✌️ I quit a year and six months ago, after being addicted to Everything for Many Years. If I did it, Anyone Can!♥️
What's your stance on Kratom? I know people will flip out if anyone says anything bad about it, but we are starting to see a lot more patients coming in with Kratom addiction akin to heroine addictions...everyone is different, however kratom is an opiate agonist. Curious what your thoughts are on this matter.
Faust Productions, 501 c 3 I don’t have much experience with Kratom personally, but I will say that we get comments on both sides of the fence; some people say it saved them, some people say it’s been their downfall. It’s hard to weigh in on the debate as it wasn’t really around when I was addicted.
Ralou Larou me too. It lasted a year. I didn’t know going in. Found out 3 months in and tried to make it work but I never trusted him. Said he was not using but in hindsight I know better. It sucks!
Wendy Tuttle When a Person is Addicted, the addiction Always comes First. It’s horrible, and there’s really nothing that you can do to stop them. They have to stop their selves. Rehabs help some people, but the addict has to want help.♥️
PLEASE HELP ADDRESS THIS ISSUE: HOW DO YOU CONFRONT A HEROIN ADDICT THAT IS HEAD OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD IT AFFECTS THE ENTIRE FAMIY? WHEN THEY DENY IT AND GET VERY CONFRONTATIONAL WHEN YOU BRING IT UP?
If I saw an old friend and she basically wants money whenever she sees me, followed by her weight looks suspiciously thin and her left arm got stabbed marks, are these signs to look out for a possible Heroine user?
I was in a california prison when i did my first shot. Didnt do much in there just here and there.. No one told me about withdraws, restless legs can't sleep diarrhea Etc. When i got out i hooked up with a homie of mine and he had a script for 60mg of ms cotton started banging thoes here and there still not addicted nor have I heard of a withdrawal yet. Fast forward a year my dad came to live with my wife and I and we were going to take care of him he was elderly and I started attending a Pentecostal Church where I had met a friend who had a sick wife that was prescribed liquid Oxycontin and liquid methadone for her pain of scleroderma well I started dabbling with that shooting up the Oxycontin syrup and selling the methadone well the methadone in liquid form wasn't selling all that well so he was able to get the doctor to switch it from liquid to pills then my dad got prescribed fentanyl patches for his pain 100 micrograms so what was going on was I was chewing 100 microgram patches and slamming 3 to 5 30 mg oxycontin's on top of chewing the patch. Fast forward 6 months of continuous use I've decided fuck it I'm just going to quit like I said no one told me about withdrawals so one day I just cold turkey quit and had the most fucked-up three days of my life ended up getting a fentanyl patch and chewing the shit out of it fast forward a couple of years of using Fentanyl and oxycontin together because I couldn't quit because I got sick as fuck when I tried to but I ended up at the methadone clinic was there for 2 years went up to 120 mg weaned down to 60 by 5 mg per week got sick went back up to 90 held for like a year and then wean down by 5 mg per week until I got to 10 mg and then I went down 1 mg per week and then off and did not feel a withdrawal whatsoever I felt fine kind of felt guilty for it being so easy fast forward to May 22nd 2016 I got ran over by a car by a drunk driver driving 45 miles per hour long story short they ended up life flighting me to the Enloe Hospital in Chico where I had reconstructive surgery on my tibula and fibula on both legs. well here I am now in 2019 back at the methadone clinic trying to get off drugs
Thanks for sharing your story T J. Thats one hell of a ride. The good news is you know that you can wean down off the methadone successfully. I would stick to that same game plan. Work the clinic and find your way back. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, but just know that you can absolutely kick this thing. Thanks again for getting in touch, keep us posted with how you're doing!
@rvd356 3 dayz is great keep up the good hard work. I as well consider Suboxone as being clean too. You dont get high on subz and nothing else will either. Smoke weed be happy. Like jay adams said when can i have one day where i dont need to use to have a good day. Im back at the methadone clinic again but i got hit by a car going 45 thats why i relapsed. I had too i wouldnt be here right now if it wasnt for thoes drugs. Both my legs were mangled. I had to learn to walk again because of laying in bed all the time and not using my muscles. Anyways have a good one bro
Project Unbroken That’s what I’m doing now, Exercise, Good food and water along with excellent supplements. I’m getting better. You figure my addiction to opiates lasted 30 Long Years! It was so bad until I was literally making house payments for two dealers. Just insane. Plus I cold turkeyed my detox, so I probably did a little damage with that too. I wouldn’t Ever advise anyone else on the amount that I was on to do that. Rehab is much safer. I was Very hardheaded but I’m using that in a positive way now. It’s been one hell of a Journey.😊💙✌️
Hye bro how do you beat mental pain stick at you head everyday until 3,4 month....sorry for my english but i wanna now how you deal bro...i use 14 year and 6 year clear but 5 month ago i back again...plsss
Muilisx deeper in the addiction - yeah you do start more avoiding life, you’re right with that. But early on we definitely used it and socialized a lot
Muilisx yeah and it’s been a while for me - but since you mention it - the going out on it was definitely more like just the first year or so. As time went on it definitely fell more and more towards how you explain it
Did this give you a better look into what it's like to be a heroin addict? Let us know!
What other drugs were u on
Project Unbroken, Thank Y’all for making these videos! Everyday that y’all are in Recovery, Y’all are helping the rest of us!♥️ Excellent Channel!
Its a real life zombie disease
Project Unbroken still on them help x😩
@@mariec6056 How are you doing?
It’s awesome to see your friendship survive the addiction. I lost many best friends do to our usage and dishonesty.

I fell in love with a drug addict and it hurts
It's almost worse being the loved one of the addict. You have no control.

Question. Did either of you experience Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome? Thank you! & Y’all Take Good Care!♥️✌️
Not a ton Cindy, at first a little, but it eventually went away as we made more and more improvements.

Sazli Azimah Turn Around. It’s not too late. Just turn around. Stop and turn away from it.♥️
Diet & exercise are huge!
Project Unbroken Yes, I Totally Agree!
If you would actually show a heroin addict, it would help a lot more than talking about them.
Shootin up n going out lol.....more like sitting in ur house, avoiding life and everyone unless its ur dealer
Muilisx we were sniffing
Aint matter
Muilisx deeper in the addiction - yeah you do start more avoiding life, you’re right with that. But early on we definitely used it and socialized a lot
I would say thats pretty rare....when i fall back in, its all i care about....will sit around for hours just waiting on the text.
Muilisx yeah and it’s been a while for me - but since you mention it - the going out on it was definitely more like just the first year or so. As time went on it definitely fell more and more towards how you explain it

Too many little boys in one room
michael griner so you’re saying you prefer one little boy per room? Bizarre comment man. You should seek counseling for that.

michael griner nah man I’m not into that kind of thing. Keep your “little boy” stuff to yourself.
