I only heard of this man, because everyone posting about him passing away. So sad, seems like he was a good person, and one hell of a story teller. Going to watch the rest of his videos. R.I.P
Hearing you rationalize that there was probably heroin laying on the ground, randomly, puts me right back in my headspace ten years ago. These stories give me the chills sometimes.
The Dennis Rice ........... brother I feel you more than you know but you know what scratch that... you do.. I have scars on my thighs from shooting heroin and I’m grateful for them because it reminds me everyday how bad it could get. We can never forget where we have come from. Our past is not our enemy it’s an Allie and become s one of our greatest assets. When life is feeling like everything is just perfect is when we really have to remind ourselves of where we Came from. Zen vibes everyone way ✌️ ☮️
Me too!! I would use my wake-up the night before. It seemed totally reasonable that I would find a b on the ground. The second my eyes opened in the morning, the sheer idiocy of that was painfully obvious.
@@tailbrain2313 some of the shit you rationalize when you’re using is down right hilarious when you think about it. I used to tell myself that I could just randomly scrape up the money needed to get off sick knowing damn well I was tapped out. Been of the shit almost 10 yrs now.
It's wild how just a couple of words, and _boom_ it's like you're right back in it. I fucking hate that I know excatly what he's talking about; that with a few words I'm right there with him, because I've been there before. I very much appreciate how good of a story teller he is, but goddamn I hate that I can relate.
Rip Ryan Leone. I miss sitting in my work truck on a slow day watching the new videos you put out. It really is helped me in recovery because Ryan tried to get clean at the same time as me. I actually relapsed the day Ryan passed away.
You gotta find out the truth TopTier Patreon has over 1800 + uploads best 100$ I ever spent... Katrina has uploaded daily for like the last yr I just ReUpd
I hope your doing good now it's hard but stay away from the people that sourounds themselves with that life I more less cut myself off from everyone for years except does I trust
Mark Johnson do you feel like that’s glorifying it? Have you ever seen a person shoot drugs? When this man tells his stories it most definitely doesn’t make me want to go experience the shit he’s been through.
I’d have to agree with blasé... never my intention to glorify this lifestyle. There’s nothing cool about drug addiction. I’m past all that. But when I was in prison people used to tell me I had great stories, so in preparation for the documentary coming out next year, I thought it might be advantageous to start getting these stories out there. People seem to enjoy them - but I don’t think I have a pro-drug message....
Listening to Ryan tell his life stories is hypnotic. It's as if my brother is talking to me. I lost my older brother to an overdose in 2002. Losing my brother was the most significant loss of my life up to that point. Then, I lost both of my parents. Watching my mom bury her son is a memory I wish I didn't have. My mom grieved her sons death until the day she died 2 years ago, April 20th. My deepest condolences to Ryan's parents, wife, and children. So unfair! 😢
My condolences to you. I lost my little brother in 2016 to an overdose & my daddy months later to a massive heart attack. He couldn't handle burying his baby boy & my mom has never been the same. I can do relate to you. Honestly, I about lost my breath reading your post. Again, I'm truly sorry for your losses.
Bro your heart was to big for your own good. I know what it feels like to be addicted to opiates, I never did heroin but I had a healthy oxy addiction. Listening to your stories brings back so many memories and also makes me feel lucky to be alive an not in that life anymore. Thanks for sharing!
Going back and watching all the videos in order. Crazy that you're gone. We have the same birthday and my best friend of 20 years passed shortly before you did ... when I first saw this I was kicking benzos and dope .. I relapsed a few times but I'm 11 months off all that shit now. Rest in peace mane !!! Palabra
This shit is deep man... you can definitely see the sadness in your face/emotion while explaining the story about Allison. I'm sorry you had to endure that. From one addict to another(being on methadone myself) your story resonates with me and many others like us. This is great awareness of what could happen to someone if they think they wanna go down this path. Appreciate the story.
Yup. From my experience. Almost every time it’s a female. And after a few times in and out of rehab I started sharing this info with guys I’d meet. Finally my ex left me and I went into rehab single and not worried about shit outside. Sober now. Women fuck shit up man and make it seem like we’re the ones trippin.
John Smith kinda seems judgmental to be a drug addict who can't stop using drugs to the point of going to rehab then insult people who fall victim to the trap of women and codependency. Someone could say the same about you "pretty weak, only insecure weak people can't put drugs down". I'm a heroin addict too so I'm not talking down to you either
I'm glad you turned everything that happened to you around man. I love the way you tell your past life situations. it's like your one of my friends telling me what happened.

Mate It’s 450am you kept me up all night your story telling skills are fantastic! Love from the uk my brother good luck with all your future projects!!!
Bro ... I have come across lots of channels and your channel is one of the best... some of your stories I completely understand and can feel the withdrawals
1. For not a violent dude, you have a lot of violent stories. 2. I have shit to do man, can you stop making these videos? Because I can't stop watching. I love your stories.
Dude your story sounds very familiar, I was a hopeless junky for 20 years, I got 3 years sober from all narcotics, I've done it all, but heroin was my drug of choice. Good luck to you bud.
23 n 1 sent me here. I never thought I'd meet some one that use to be as bad as me! As soon as you think you're the only one, just remember you're not.
Damn that's such an insane story of just a part of your life! I live in South Florida so I know the exact cities you're talking about. I'm just so intrigued by what you've gone through. So glad you've come out on top!!
I live in South Florida as well! Born and raised in Delray Beach and now live in Boca Raton! You wrote this 2 years ago so idk if you'll get this, but just wanted to say hi to another Florida girl!
That's the junky life brother. I been there as well. Besides the drug's the next thing I was addicted to the most was the lifestyle. I'm three years clean now and still to this day I miss the chaos. I don't miss the drugs but I miss that feeling and everything that comes with being out on the bricks. As sad as it is too say, I'd be a liar if i said I didn't miss it.
@@JennaH-l1j yeah I feel that way too. I'm mostly clean these days and honestly the thing that causes me to want to relapse most is the boredom of normal every day life. It feels soul sucking and I miss the crazy exciting times.
@@kimmybrandt Still somewhat clean, i've had a couple weekends where I did shit but it never got further than that. I agree 100%, normal life is boring as hell. I did my time so I don't mind talking about it. I was part of a group where we shipped xannies throughout the US. I was around 50k xans/month. Back then there wasn't a dull moment in my life. Henry Hill said it best, "For us to live any other way was nuts. To us, goody good people who worked shitty jobs for bum pay checks and worried about bills were dead. They were suckers." Now I'm that sucker. I have kids whom I love and they saved my life which I'll always be grateful for but it always feels like there's something missing after all those years. It's hard to explain the excitement if you've never lived it.
Bro I’m glad I got to hear your story most people would say that sounds like a movie . Too unbelievable but as a addict myself I know that weird shit can happen fk man I’m glad you came out of it ok sending love from Australia
New drinking game: take a shot every time Ryan mentions putting ice in someone's ass. 😅 All jokes aside it really saddens me that he's no longer with us. He's an amazing storyteller. I could literally picture EVERYTHING he described. RIP dude.
Crazy how our stories Are like, man i went to My parents the first time Even though they had throwing me out, but man this is just the medicin i need, my Mom died last night!!! So thanx for showing love!!!! Peace&funk 🇺🇸🇩🇰🤘🙏Hope you keep it one day at a time 🇺🇸🇩🇰🙏
Omg I did that to myself ONE time... If I had a gun I would have blown my head off. Literally. It was literally one minute sitting there after 48 hours of opiate abstinence thinking I was sick enough to induce the Suboxone. Boy was I wrong. Because within 10 mins I was gonna know what being truly sick feels like. Horrible horrible feeling.
Precipitated is the worst wd but goin through benzo and opiate wd at the same time is right there with it...i still have grand mal seizures to this day cuz my seizure threshold has been reduced really bad...stay up man and sober I got almost 2 yrs clean after my girl and I overdosed on fent laced kibble and sadly she passed away...
Great storytelling straight out. Hey the truth may get in the way of great story telling at times, but to keep the story going in the flow is astounding. A born,gifted writer.
Similar experience from one of the many times I have ama'd from treatment. Three of us walk out with only 25 dollars, no ride and no rig. Look down in the bushes of treatment center, brand new 10 pack rigs, simultaneously look up and see an old friend who gives us a ride to the connect. High within 10 minutes of ama'ing. My higher power was shining bright that day.
@@ryanleone5805 I have to know bro my curiosity is killing me. What ever happened to Mike Virgin? Did he get locked up? I assume the girl got turnt out, any word on her too? I lived in West Palm Beach before and I don't think people understand how sketchy and seedy South Florida really is. Much Love and Respect bro!!
After awhile this just popped up on my feed and i really miss his stories and just seeing him be himself. His the only person who was true to himself and spoke from the heart and pure truth. Miss you REST IN PEACE ❤
I've heard of someone putting a freezer ice pack on a guys balls...haha... but never up the bum! Luckily I'm very careful and so throughout my use I've always kept either nasal narcan or an actual shot of sub for my bf to inject me with if I od... I've never needed either!
U got some wild stories my friend! I can totally see how they all happened tho,when someone is out there fucked up,there's nothing they wont do. I've deff done some stupid shit myself
I got caught up bad in south Florida myself bro. I was out there during the whole pain clinic/pill mill epidemic and it was really fucking crazy bro. That's what started my spiral into the depths of addiction and hell!
You lool familiar bro. I came to Broward in 08 and didnt even know what pain clinics were when I first came down but within 7 months, I was standing in line at them every other week. My brother and me are clean almost 3 years . Nice bud on your page. I still enjoy that. Haha
@@bodhib9358 right on bro glad to hear your clean man. Most of us dont make it out that game! I now reside in sonoma county California which is outside San Francisco. I decided to get into the cannabis game and leave the pills and opiates behind. Goodluck to you brotha 🤜🤛✊
@@charleyhustle5954 Same to you my brother. I got into plant medicine myself, but psychedelic plants...ie ayahuasca. Thats how my brother got off. No need for rehab. One powerful trip and Inused opiates one more time but I went through withdrawls cold turkey without looking back. Congrats on what youre doing. I wish you well.
HOLY SHIT. That is honestly the absolute craziest story I've EVER heard. And as an addict myself, I thought I'd about seen the run of it. The drug stuff is typical, but that Mike dude was BAD news. I'm glad you made it out alive Ryan, and I'm glad you've found some stability with the subs. I'm a vet in Texas, about your age, and I'm on done', 3 yrs now. I wanna kick, but as you know, it's the holy Grail of kicks. I wanna come down, low and slow, then bounce on subs for a month or so, then be done with it all. It's true madness. Though I don't get off on the done, it still affects you, as you know. Very very hard, but definitely better than banging. Thank you for your time and for sharing man. Wish me luck.
*Opiate*...yeah man methadone is a mother fucker to get off of & after 2 years on it while still steadily using of course, I thought I was totally fucked too but I was able to stop the dones & gradually lowered my H usage & then started taking a bunch of kratom & that helped me get off H completely. It's still a little rough but definitely manageable. At one point I never thought I could go a week without anything....let alone 3 months. I did it & I'm sure u can too...jus don't fuck it all up like I did once u get that clean time. It's a lifelong fuckin vice & that craving will always be there but u can make it so the absolute need to use is gone. Good luck man.
@@scfinisher1355 thanks so much for your post bro. I just now saw it. Everyone's been saying kratom, so I'm def game. Tried it once but didn't get shit, but now know it was bc I didn't wait long enough off the done, only 53hrs, and kratom isn't near strong enough to compete against done even after 53hrs, that's not nearly long enough. So, I know it will work, I just have to wait prob 10 days or so. Anyway, I'm on my way, jump off low dose in December, then the subs for a month, then kratom. I appreciate your post and look forward to feeling free again. Besides, the most powerful drug of all is pure adrenaline........keep fighting the clean fight, I'm almost there. Thank you brother 👊
@@-Opiate- Another thing that might be helpful to know is that I too thought that it didn't work after trying it & not really feeling any symptom relief, but then I tried taking more of it & it actually did work. Ends up I had to take way more than what was considered a large dose. Idk if it was due to my tolerance or what but it always seemed like I could handle shit that should put an elephant down, so with the kratom I found myself taking 4 grams more that they told me was a large dose. Anyways just start low & work yourself up to whatever works for u. That stuff really is amazing for kicking the habbit tho. Never thought I could sleep the second day of detox & that shit put me to sleep. Really a miracle. Wish ya the best & good luck man.
@@-Opiate-how are you doing now? Been in this hell for 20 years myself. Methadone still using. Nightmare, and it's all fent now. Scary. Wish I could afford Ibogaine treatment.
Right, ID love to see if the person Ive been visualizing in my head looks even half of that in real life! I just finished his bk in 4 days and came back to his ch. To see if he did any Q & A's on it and saw this videos name.....HELL YA, JACK POT !!!! 😂😂
on day one of just arriving at that dudes condo, they shouldve just took the $1000 and methadone and bought bus tickets to Tennessee. what the hell we're they thinking, they had the perfect opportunity to get away.
That's exactly it...they weren't thinking...its rule number one of addiction that logic must not apply. No addict could continue to live as an addict if we could apply the logical way out to our daily insanity.
@@mainlinemitch i don't know man, I was on heroin for 12 years, and being an addict I learned 2 things from having to score dope every day on the streets 1. trust no one but your significant other (even then be very cautious) 2. get the drugs and get the fuck out of there immediately (there are no friends in this game, no one is doing you favours to be nice) My first instinct (no matter how high i am) in that situation is taking everything of value from his place and leaving as fast as I could.
True that, but I know that he didn't know it then that she was straight up lying and she knew it was total bullshit about having a spot of her own in Tenn., so I'd loved to have saw what she did or how she reacted to her own lie if he did take money and shit and run and try to get thierselfs out to Tenn., but goddamn bro if it went that way and they actually got all the way out there to Tenn. with out her actually having said spot and no plan B whatsoever to start hitting on, mannnn that would've been even more fucking tragic dude. Fuckkkkk.

Na recklessness is the problem 3yrs clean start using again I never pushed the limit off the muscle I'd rather sacrifice the rush to gauge how strong the dope is once I get a gauge then I can get busy but in all the years of my dope use coke was the only thing I od on dope nope but I wasn't big on mixing dope wit other shit
I woke up with Jessica Kent interviewing you. It right about the time you were talking about meeting Johnny Depp. I came here, went to what UA-cam shows as your first video. This is nucking futz! I don’t know how to find someone’s first video on there channel.
I went to a treatment center in North Palm FL called A New Day/Royal Recovery and that place is just like he says! Rehab romances are VERY real! You’ve been numb for so long and to go there and sober up and you’re pretty much walking around with a hard on a week or so after you get there!
That’s crazy bro I was in The Watershed a few times in 2003-2005 and I know exactly those white Florida dudes your talking about. Keep it up man these videos are awesome, I listen on my drive to our shop or on the way home
Its a trip living a life that sounds like a movie. Most people have a hard time believing it. At least our lives are not considered boring. Now that I am older boring sounds really good. Thank you for sharing your interesting experiences.
That's the lives of addicts... been addict for 10 years . Clean for years then relapsed..and I've been through so much myself. Could write a book. Most addicts can...just 2 months ago I was stabbed multiple times and had surgery. Had to walk over a mile with kitchen knife sticking out of my stomach. That's 2 months ago. Been kinda quiet since but I could sit here for days telling stories what's happened.
I agree. In the last few years I have matured a lot. I like boring now. 25 years of cocaine and opiate abuse finally caught up to me. Now a cup of tea and cookies is the highlight of my evenings. Lol
you are one of the best storytellers ever man. you have a gift. just wish u didn't have to keep moving your phone. such a real story. thanks for sharing. I bet your fourth step took quite some time...
Crazy shit Ryan. I could listen all day. Well, I have been ...all day to several of your stories. What happened with Mike Virgin, like was he ever caught? Do you know? And Megan and Lou?
Yea, that’s what I don’t understand. Like he said that mike dude and that Megan girl set him up but like he saw that mike dude kill someone. Idk I’m totally lost now
This one is especially relatable. These videos inspire me write about my experiences. I’ve been going through similar shit for the last 10-11 years and I’m a musician so it’s been all over the country. But yeah, I love the stories, it’s like a long speaker meeting that’s more interesting (to me) than most. Congrats on the movie/documentary/book. And congrats on (apparently) getting your shit together; there’s not much that’s harder than recovering mentally from this shit.

Get a tripod dude. You jiggling the phone is hard to watch
Shakey Jake haha
Bro ... I have come across lots of channels and your channel is one of the best... some of your stories I completely understand and can feel the withdrawals
1. For not a violent dude, you have a lot of violent stories.
2. I have shit to do man, can you stop making these videos? Because I can't stop watching. I love your stories.
Look up
Prison Stories - Getting Shanked over a Subway Sandwich
Just played this video for my buddy and now he’s hooked, crazy shit bro, passing yur talent whenever I can
Dude, watching this after following you for awhile it’s amazing to see your progression! Keep it up Ryan
Dude your story sounds very familiar, I was a hopeless junky for 20 years, I got 3 years sober from all narcotics, I've done it all, but heroin was my drug of choice. Good luck to you bud.
My bf wouldn’t stop telling me to watch this video
He sent it to me and I just finished it today
Crazy crazy story dude
23 n 1 sent me here. I never thought I'd meet some one that use to be as bad as me! As soon as you think you're the only one, just remember you're not.
@Sniper .308 I know that's right! He does need to meet Artie Lang!!!! Haha!!!
@Sniper .308 I'll have to check it out....thanks for the tip bro!!!!
@Douglas RobinsonPretty sure he's straight, homie
Coming back time and time again to watch your videos ❤
Probably the 3rd time, maybe even the 4th, that I've watched this particular video. It is absolutely my favorite!!!
Damn that's such an insane story of just a part of your life! I live in South Florida so I know the exact cities you're talking about. I'm just so intrigued by what you've gone through. So glad you've come out on top!!
What towns could all this happen??
I live in South Florida as well! Born and raised in Delray Beach and now live in Boca Raton! You wrote this 2 years ago so idk if you'll get this, but just wanted to say hi to another Florida girl!
@@SurferGirlTina Ryan passed away just a few weeks ago. July 2 2022. 🙏 RIP RYAN
@@slanger2563 I know, I was heartbroken when I found out. Thank you for letting me know. Another one gone too soon. RIP Ryan! 🙏 ❤
Bro your stories got me strung out. I hope you upload alot cause im moving along with these videos big bro. Great content!
Dude your story is right up there with some of the stuff I been through. Man you’re lucky to be alive
That's the junky life brother. I been there as well. Besides the drug's the next thing I was addicted to the most was the lifestyle. I'm three years clean now and still to this day I miss the chaos. I don't miss the drugs but I miss that feeling and everything that comes with being out on the bricks. As sad as it is too say, I'd be a liar if i said I didn't miss it.
@@JennaH-l1j yeah I feel that way too. I'm mostly clean these days and honestly the thing that causes me to want to relapse most is the boredom of normal every day life. It feels soul sucking and I miss the crazy exciting times.
@@kimmybrandt Still somewhat clean, i've had a couple weekends where I did shit but it never got further than that. I agree 100%, normal life is boring as hell. I did my time so I don't mind talking about it. I was part of a group where we shipped xannies throughout the US. I was around 50k xans/month. Back then there wasn't a dull moment in my life. Henry Hill said it best, "For us to live any other way was nuts. To us, goody good people who worked shitty jobs for bum pay checks and worried about bills were dead. They were suckers." Now I'm that sucker. I have kids whom I love and they saved my life which I'll always be grateful for but it always feels like there's something missing after all those years. It's hard to explain the excitement if you've never lived it.
Just watched you on Jessica Kent,,, fantastic job. Now I have to watch all of your videos. I wish you all the best
Bro I’m glad I got to hear your story most people would say that sounds like a movie . Too unbelievable but as a addict myself I know that weird shit can happen fk man I’m glad you came out of it ok sending love from Australia
New drinking game: take a shot every time Ryan mentions putting ice in someone's ass. 😅 All jokes aside it really saddens me that he's no longer with us. He's an amazing storyteller. I could literally picture EVERYTHING he described. RIP dude.
Crazy how our stories Are like, man i went to My parents the first time Even though they had throwing me out, but man this is just the medicin i need, my Mom died last night!!! So thanx for showing love!!!! Peace&funk 🇺🇸🇩🇰🤘🙏Hope you keep it one day at a time 🇺🇸🇩🇰🙏
This is the most intense story I have ever heard bar none
Bro I’m glad all your videos aren’t like this…I listen to your content all day at work most days and it’s so hard to hear you lol… love you bro 💪
First video i watched of yours and your an amazing story teller man , i gotta buy the book now
Thanks. I appreciate the support.
@@ryanleone5805 💔
Precipitated withdrawal is the absolute worst thing to go through.
Total nightmare!!!
Hats off to u.😞
Omg I did that to myself ONE time... If I had a gun I would have blown my head off. Literally. It was literally one minute sitting there after 48 hours of opiate abstinence thinking I was sick enough to induce the Suboxone. Boy was I wrong. Because within 10 mins I was gonna know what being truly sick feels like. Horrible horrible feeling.
nate k been through it 3 times. I’m still using and will never take a sub again because of it. I waited a whole 48 hours once and still got it.
Precipitated is the worst wd but goin through benzo and opiate wd at the same time is right there with it...i still have grand mal seizures to this day cuz my seizure threshold has been reduced really bad...stay up man and sober I got almost 2 yrs clean after my girl and I overdosed on fent laced kibble and sadly she passed away...
Holy shit I’m so glad I found out about you through 23&1s channel. You got my sub. Can’t wait to listen to every one of your videos at work tomorrow
You had me at “and so I ran out of the court room”…lol
Great storytelling straight out. Hey the truth may get in the way of great story telling at times, but to keep the story going in the flow is astounding. A born,gifted writer.
Similar experience from one of the many times I have ama'd from treatment. Three of us walk out with only 25 dollars, no ride and no rig. Look down in the bushes of treatment center, brand new 10 pack rigs, simultaneously look up and see an old friend who gives us a ride to the connect. High within 10 minutes of ama'ing. My higher power was shining bright that day.
That wasn't God....that was Junkie Jesus
Should go to Brooklyn don't need a car, 5 bucksll get you high all day
damn, I thought I was wild.
Bro I checked you out on Al Profit and can relate alot to your story. Much Respect from Jersey!!!
STREETxJUSTICE609 thanks for checking me out. More to come!
@@ryanleone5805 I have to know bro my curiosity is killing me. What ever happened to Mike Virgin? Did he get locked up? I assume the girl got turnt out, any word on her too? I lived in West Palm Beach before and I don't think people understand how sketchy and seedy South Florida really is. Much Love and Respect bro!!
I can’t imagine my 18 year old son or daughter coming home and begging for help with track marks. That hit me damn
Lmao good story big dog. I live in Lompoc,Ca and I can relate to so much of this stuff man
Here from 23/1. Very compelling and inspiring story. Wishing you all the best to you Ryan.
Eunice Gomez thank you very much
After awhile this just popped up on my feed and i really miss his stories and just seeing him be himself. His the only person who was true to himself and spoke from the heart and pure truth. Miss you REST IN PEACE ❤
This story was riveting! Ordered your book today. Stoked to read it!
I hope you know how blessed you are. I don’t know anyone that can or could go anywhere or have the offers you’ve had. Lucky you
Truly is like the best story ever, super insane and ridiculous, but in a good way. Good job on not being dead yet man
PAWL Arts 123PawlSt there’s still time...
I love going back and listening to your older videos. I really love the drug dealing, being on the streets stories. PA FUCKIN LABRA “Little Buddy”
U just earned a sub hope they keep coming and hope everything u are saying is real
Kripiitonik thank you!
Damn that heroin dealer in boca raton sounds like a good friend i hope I cross paths with him one day
Great story bro! I can’t wait to hear the rest
What a handsome Man.
I’ve been a junkie forever and this is the first time I’ve heard of ice up the bumbum
It’s true
@@ryanleone5805 I never heard of that either, that's intresting bro. I love ur stories, i can relate alot
I've heard of someone putting a freezer ice pack on a guys balls...haha... but never up the bum! Luckily I'm very careful and so throughout my use I've always kept either nasal narcan or an actual shot of sub for my bf to inject me with if I od... I've never needed either!
@@clevernamehere isn't that something to be proud of 😆 lol
My buddy overdosed in ADC and they drug him in the shower and shoved ice up his butt... it worked pretty quick
Your stuff is so cool man. Keep it up
U got some wild stories my friend! I can totally see how they all happened tho,when someone is out there fucked up,there's nothing they wont do. I've deff done some stupid shit myself
Omfg!! You've seen hella people die !! Your story is INSANITY AT ITS BEST!! I am hooked on your REALITY!!
Bombastic
You're missed Ryan!!!! You were a great story teller and author..
Finally some truth on UA-cam! Been there brother. Stay strong... it's worth it and you know it. Peace.
This story is fake
I got caught up bad in south Florida myself bro. I was out there during the whole pain clinic/pill mill epidemic and it was really fucking crazy bro. That's what started my spiral into the depths of addiction and hell!
You lool familiar bro. I came to Broward in 08 and didnt even know what pain clinics were when I first came down but within 7 months, I was standing in line at them every other week. My brother and me are clean almost 3 years . Nice bud on your page. I still enjoy that. Haha
@@bodhib9358 right on bro glad to hear your clean man. Most of us dont make it out that game! I now reside in sonoma county California which is outside San Francisco. I decided to get into the cannabis game and leave the pills and opiates behind. Goodluck to you brotha 🤜🤛✊
@@charleyhustle5954 Same to you my brother. I got into plant medicine myself, but psychedelic plants...ie ayahuasca. Thats how my brother got off. No need for rehab. One powerful trip and Inused opiates one more time but I went through withdrawls cold turkey without looking back. Congrats on what youre doing. I wish you well.
Tampa/St. Pete was a pain/clinic smorgasbord back in the 2000's
Pain killers can make you feel so good and so awful what goes up must always come back down
HOLY SHIT. That is honestly the absolute craziest story I've EVER heard. And as an addict myself, I thought I'd about seen the run of it. The drug stuff is typical, but that Mike dude was BAD news. I'm glad you made it out alive Ryan, and I'm glad you've found some stability with the subs. I'm a vet in Texas, about your age, and I'm on done', 3 yrs now. I wanna kick, but as you know, it's the holy Grail of kicks. I wanna come down, low and slow, then bounce on subs for a month or so, then be done with it all. It's true madness. Though I don't get off on the done, it still affects you, as you know. Very very hard, but definitely better than banging. Thank you for your time and for sharing man. Wish me luck.
*Opiate*...yeah man methadone is a mother fucker to get off of & after 2 years on it while still steadily using of course, I thought I was totally fucked too but I was able to stop the dones & gradually lowered my H usage & then started taking a bunch of kratom & that helped me get off H completely. It's still a little rough but definitely manageable. At one point I never thought I could go a week without anything....let alone 3 months. I did it & I'm sure u can too...jus don't fuck it all up like I did once u get that clean time. It's a lifelong fuckin vice & that craving will always be there but u can make it so the absolute need to use is gone. Good luck man.
@@scfinisher1355 thanks so much for your post bro. I just now saw it. Everyone's been saying kratom, so I'm def game. Tried it once but didn't get shit, but now know it was bc I didn't wait long enough off the done, only 53hrs, and kratom isn't near strong enough to compete against done even after 53hrs, that's not nearly long enough. So, I know it will work, I just have to wait prob 10 days or so. Anyway, I'm on my way, jump off low dose in December, then the subs for a month, then kratom. I appreciate your post and look forward to feeling free again. Besides, the most powerful drug of all is pure adrenaline........keep fighting the clean fight, I'm almost there. Thank you brother 👊
@@-Opiate- Another thing that might be helpful to know is that I too thought that it didn't work after trying it & not really feeling any symptom relief, but then I tried taking more of it & it actually did work. Ends up I had to take way more than what was considered a large dose. Idk if it was due to my tolerance or what but it always seemed like I could handle shit that should put an elephant down, so with the kratom I found myself taking 4 grams more that they told me was a large dose. Anyways just start low & work yourself up to whatever works for u. That stuff really is amazing for kicking the habbit tho. Never thought I could sleep the second day of detox & that shit put me to sleep. Really a miracle. Wish ya the best & good luck man.
@@-Opiate-how are you doing now? Been in this hell for 20 years myself. Methadone still using. Nightmare, and it's all fent now. Scary. Wish I could afford Ibogaine treatment.
He was incredibly talented and unbelievably intelligent .
Ryan, do you know if their is a public mugshot of this Mike V. guy?
Right, ID love to see if the person Ive been visualizing in my head looks even half of that in real life! I just finished his bk in 4 days and came back to his ch. To see if he did any Q & A's on it and saw this videos name.....HELL YA, JACK POT !!!! 😂😂
Man, the Mike bit had fukng heart my dude. Impressive. We need more Fla bits with some dudes from the day.
That was a nice listen! Couldn’t put my phone down AND I am at work LOL
Yes! Love hearing your getting paid to listen to my wild drug tales! #winning
on day one of just arriving at that dudes condo, they shouldve just took the $1000 and methadone and bought bus tickets to Tennessee. what the hell we're they thinking, they had the perfect opportunity to get away.
That's exactly it...they weren't thinking...its rule number one of addiction that logic must not apply. No addict could continue to live as an addict if we could apply the logical way out to our daily insanity.
@@mainlinemitch i don't know man, I was on heroin for 12 years, and being an addict I learned 2 things from having to score dope every day on the streets 1. trust no one but your significant other (even then be very cautious) 2. get the drugs and get the fuck out of there immediately (there are no friends in this game, no one is doing you favours to be nice)
My first instinct (no matter how high i am) in that situation is taking everything of value from his place and leaving as fast as I could.
True that, but I know that he didn't know it then that she was straight up lying and she knew it was total bullshit about having a spot of her own in Tenn., so I'd loved to have saw what she did or how she reacted to her own lie if he did take money and shit and run and try to get thierselfs out to Tenn., but goddamn bro if it went that way and they actually got all the way out there to Tenn. with out her actually having said spot and no plan B whatsoever to start hitting on, mannnn that would've been even more fucking tragic dude. Fuckkkkk.

It was a story he made up from a movie or a movie he wrote or something like that you idiots
17:50 - Malibu’s Most Wanted
getting high fresh outta jail or rehab is always recepie for disaster
What could go wrong?
Na recklessness is the problem 3yrs clean start using again I never pushed the limit off the muscle I'd rather sacrifice the rush to gauge how strong the dope is once I get a gauge then I can get busy but in all the years of my dope use coke was the only thing I od on dope nope but I wasn't big on mixing dope wit other shit
Dan brother!ty for sharing g,appreciate you man
Yayo Martinez I appreciate you. Thank you for watching my stories. I’ll keep uploading them.
I woke up with Jessica Kent interviewing you. It right about the time you were talking about meeting Johnny Depp. I came here, went to what UA-cam shows as your first video. This is nucking futz! I don’t know how to find someone’s first video on there channel.
We know you’re actually 5’6” Ryan.... 😊
My brother knew this guy very well. He never got clean, he was always running. Everyone who donated it went straight in his arm -
Can You Elaborate a Bit More On Your Theory? How Do You Figure? Cuz He Relapsed a Couple Times It Happens Bro
I went to a treatment center in North Palm FL called A New Day/Royal Recovery and that place is just like he says! Rehab romances are VERY real! You’ve been numb for so long and to go there and sober up and you’re pretty much walking around with a hard on a week or so after you get there!
I love the book bro I literally listened to it in to days on apple book.. I can relate to your story
Hey bro I just read your book and thought it was pretty good. Do you work a program are you involved in NA or AA?
Yo this was such a crazy story. Would definitely make a good movie
That’s crazy bro I was in The Watershed a few times in 2003-2005 and I know exactly those white Florida dudes your talking about. Keep it up man these videos are awesome, I listen on my drive to our shop or on the way home
I was in Watershead as well. Shoutout from Chicago
Damn that Florida story was crazy good and interesting
Man I tried googling that Mike Virgin guy to read about how he died. Do you have a link or anything? Great video as well Ryan
One benefit of living through heroin is your guaranteed some great stories. Good channel.
Its a trip living a life that sounds like a movie. Most people have a hard time believing it. At least our lives are not considered boring. Now that I am older boring sounds really good. Thank you for sharing your interesting experiences.
That's the lives of addicts... been addict for 10 years . Clean for years then relapsed..and I've been through so much myself. Could write a book. Most addicts can...just 2 months ago I was stabbed multiple times and had surgery. Had to walk over a mile with kitchen knife sticking out of my stomach. That's 2 months ago. Been kinda quiet since but I could sit here for days telling stories what's happened.
@@alanawrisley2860 damn stay strong fam, I'm here if you need to talk
I agree. In the last few years I have matured a lot. I like boring now. 25 years of cocaine and opiate abuse finally caught up to me. Now a cup of tea and cookies is the highlight of my evenings. Lol
Damn, another heavy story bro.
South Florida man, heavy shit happens down here for some people.
Hell yeah bro... from West Palm, lake worth area..
you are one of the best storytellers ever man. you have a gift.
just wish u didn't have to keep moving your phone. such a real story. thanks for sharing. I bet your fourth step took quite some time...
Yea. Thats a tough one
Crazy shit Ryan. I could listen all day. Well, I have been ...all day to several of your stories. What happened with Mike Virgin, like was he ever caught? Do you know? And Megan and Lou?
Yea, that’s what I don’t understand. Like he said that mike dude and that Megan girl set him up but like he saw that mike dude kill someone. Idk I’m totally lost now
felicious 801 mike’s dead. He said
This one is especially relatable. These videos inspire me write about my experiences. I’ve been going through similar shit for the last 10-11 years and I’m a musician so it’s been all over the country.
But yeah, I love the stories, it’s like a long speaker meeting that’s more interesting (to me) than most. Congrats on the movie/documentary/book. And congrats on (apparently) getting your shit together; there’s not much that’s harder than recovering mentally from this shit.
Nathan Mays thanks. It means the world to me that you can relate and that you’re on a positive trip now; it’s so much better on the other side.
Rip bro u tell a story wonderfully
Never heard of shooting somone up with salt water or milk and I've been on heroin for 17 years. That sounds brutal
You’ve been on the horse for 17 years?? How are you still alive?
