    I was fed opiates as a toddler by my mother, a RN... I ran away to L.A. at 22 and learned I was an addict when I tried to get clean and sober... I am now 51 and almost 6 months clean and it's very difficult... sending love and best wishes to Oliver.x

Restless legs, nausea, headache, hot sweats/cold sweats, you can't get good sleep, throwing up, going number 2 in the bathroom all day, it's pure hell bro.

Never thought of it nor did I have access to it lol but for whatever reason that was one of her greatest fears. So any time I was sick usually with pneumonia (chronic asthma 🙄) it was only ever antibiotics and vaporub 🤣
      Even when I got my wisdom teeth out she would only give me half of my pain killers and had to have jaw surgery recently and she was trying to get my doctor to not prescribe pain killers…luckily I got oxy’s yet was still in agony 😭 don’t know what she was so worried about but I couldn’t imagine being a teenager with access to a pill cabinet 😳

    This is one of those interviews where I wonder if I’ve missed something - Oliver doesn’t seem able to tap into any childhood trauma in a reflective way. Even though he’s very aware and intelligent. He seems so gentle and smart and genuine. Just doesn’t seem to want to connect to the abuse or sadness and I guess that’s why he does drugs. I’m sure there’s a bit more to the story. His constant calling himself a piece of shit is sad bc he’s clearly not. Hope he reads this to see how many think he’s beautiful.
    We need to give society options to work on talents without money being the sole purpose. Then offer counseling and healing modalities for free instead of all the bullshit our county spends it on. Healing people. Oliver you could be one of those people helping people. Sending 🙏🏼🧡

      There doesn't necessarily have to be specific trauma or abuse experiences...his untreated mental illness is the most likely reason he's addicted. I've been an addict as far back as I can remember (I don't remember my first drink, I would steal cough syrup from the medicine cabinet as a kid) I was never abused in any way, I just can't handle emotions. I use to keep feelings repressed.

    One thing I've observed with most addicts (not criticizing just observing) they seem to be emotionally stuck in a certain age, like childhood or teen years. It's like there's something in them that can't move past that time frame and they have an innocent childlike immaturity that most unaddicted adults don't seem to have.

      @Danny Al yea long term methadone is rough. I was doing a few grams of straight fent everyday for a few years, heroin and pills before that. The withdrawal was more than I was ready for, even as a 15 year opiate addict. I decided to bypass subs and methadone and tough it out. Didn’t sleep a minute for 11 days. Learned a lot about myself and it was bad enough that I will never go back. There is no escaping the sickness. I’d get off the methadone asap. Long term that will be the hardest one to kick. Good luck. You can do it.

She’s now on both Speed & Fentanyl both taken intravenously not to mention various psych drugs. She choose drugs over her kids which is a dam shame…at least he doesn’t have any kids or any that he knows about for that matter. Ultimately getting clean often takes doing it for something far greater than oneself (IE) “Your Kids” etc. With the aforementioned being said I have far more patience for those addicts without children who are primarily destroying their respective lives and not the lives of their children. It really sucks when the children of addicts are ridiculously screwed up at no fault of their own.

I walked out a week later and haven't used it since. 24 years ago. Hit me up, I'd love to take you for coffee.
