      It's not the cost of painkillers at the pharmacy with a prescription they are dirt cheap , it's when the doctors cut you off people are forced to buy them on the street , but now all the pills are fake and have fentynol that is killing people

    There is hope, I've been a drug addict, alcoholic for about 55 years. Started with alcohol around 12 years old, then marijuana and started injecting what ever I could get. Then started shooting up cocaine, that lasted until the early 80's , and someone introduced me to crack, then I fell in love, no more tracks, no more long sleeve shirts and that lasted 30 plus years. Today I'm 4 years sober and about 18 months opioid free and recently quit crack. I could not have done this without the Blood of Jesus Christ, there is hope, PLEASE LET HIM INTO YOUR LIFE. It won't be easy, but I promise you, you'll never regret it. This I say, in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ Amen.

    Its not the only thing at all ,
    From my experience, i live alone and can barely afford rent and bills , food is hard to come by , without family or friends sometimes its nearly impossible to even pass the time when youve lost your job
    Sometimes smoking weed or something else is less about getting high but more something to do ,to break up the boredom and make things slightly more tolerable , otherwise your sitting there staring at a wall , no one ever visits , your days start to blend together , still no one visits... its all like a trap you cant escape from , im borderline to going outside again for similar reasons , because life is too boring and... empty to feel sober , you end up always high... but always completely broke , and it can be any drug at all , not just heroin , but meth and even weed like myself

    He is 100% correct it’s impossible to explain heroin/fentanyl to someone who has never had to deal with it. Your life will be absolutely consumed by the need to get more heroin/fentanyl just to keep yourself from getting sick and it’s pretty much all you think about 24/7 nothing matters family money possessions all are secondary to getting your fix. The big part is avoiding the withdrawals from the drug the closest comparison would be a massive hangover while having the flu super bad but to a level of intensity that you have never ever experienced you are completely worthless until you get some dope in your system. Yes heroin/fentanyl gives you the absolute best feeling in the world at first it’s like being covered with a warm blanket on a rainy day or being back in the womb all is right in the world but eventually you start to change without noticing and your life falls apart slowly….. if you haven’t started opiates don’t you might have the genes that make you prone to addiction and be off to the races while other people can stop just my 2 cents having been thru years of heroin/fentanyl addiction myself

    Your problem is self-loathing. You ref your woman as the P word, rather than as love. That shows a contempt for women, rooted in a contempt/fear of feminine energy, which we all have. Hence, self-loathing. Feminine energy is also vulnerable energy. And what we fear, we often become or draw to us. Homelessness is about the most vulnerable state we can be in.

      Kratom got me off my opioid addiction, fare warning, prolong use and abuse of kratom can and will lead to kidney failure, I'm going through that now. Please be careful

    When someone says they can’t get off the street it means that don’t want to

      You clearly don't know how additcion works. Some people have addictions so bad the withdrawl can kill them. Quiting something you're addicted to espicially on the streets is a, very, very, tough thing to do.

    I wonder where this guy is , I seen this interview a few years ago ,now that heroin is no longer available and it’s a different substance all together, he looks like a regular down to earth person I would never guess he was addicted to anything, any updates?
