    I just want to hug him. He's 100% spot on about world events towards the end, but he's clearly so depressed.💔

    This dude is in massive denial. He is relatively high functioning compared to other fent addicts, but he is not high functioning by human standards. Wish him the best.

    This Guy is A prime example of why the Windshield is Bigger than the Rear view Mirror! The past can eat you Alive and Strip you of the future if you let it . We have to stay focused on whats Ahead and who can we help ect .The mind is a Powerful thing and we as humans are sensitive creatures that can Be destroyed and sometimes we have to be reborn Spiritually, Which only the very strong can survive ! I always tell people ,Because I have to tell myself ,Give yourself some Grace ! And Give more Hugs Because I truly believe Whether rich or poor , You have to have gratitude for the fact we even get to live and experience this life

    This is not high-functioning. Im speaking as a former functioning opiate addict. I held down my job in finance, helped my son with homework every night & attended all of his sports obligations, paid my bills, was always a doting spouse, kept my household clean, kept my appearance together (every two weeks I had to go to the hair & nail salon), went to the gym, and managed to start saving a little towards the end. The emergence of fentanyl on the streets actually helped because it lasted longer so I didn't need as much. Once I was down to a bag a day (i only snorted- no needles or anything) I figured I could just taper off. I basically quit cold turkey. Was sick of running from withdrawals because I stopped feeling 'high' a long time ago. No rehab or other programs. You just have to be sick and tired of wasting time/money. My husband & I got clean at the same time. Its been 3 years and we never turned back.

    Couch surfing at 36 isn't functioning. Something will come to a head one day. Weed, Meth & 3 grams of fent a day??? There is only one place that inheritance money is going.

    High functioning? I thought high functioning would imply a home, car, responsibilities , etc. Couch surfing and odd jobs is not high functioning IMO.

      It is for a fentanyl addict.Unfortunately for him, he'll end up with a batch of poisonous cartel merchandise after which he won't be functioning at any level.

    Strange how he says opiates give him peaceful sleep, someone who is not me found that true sleep was not an option under opiates, a part of you becomes awake and enjoys dreams throughout the night and they even found that house-settling noises disturbed them and caused feelings of fear under the influence of opiates.

    seems like a really nice dude, wish him all the best. Maybe he manages to get off before it's too late, he seems to be trapped between neglecting the negative side effects this substance has on him and on the other hand the glimpse of he has to do something about it to tackle the underlying problems. I mean this purely unjudgemental, I'm not in his shoes...

      Can't u get a different opiate if they are out I'm sure oxymorphone or diluated etc could really help prob less anlegesic which you may be looking for with the pains of fight cancer but you will find them more euphoric. Stay pain free but make sure if your fighting it you don't let the drugs weaken your system if your fighting it if not get real comfortable I highly suggest high dose psychedelics in therapeutic setting to get ok with death incase you arnt bufo 5meodmt the god particle puts one into the pure white light of unconditional love full death and rebirth and that may be helpful. Praying for you to beat the cancer got in my thoughts sending Health and love your way
