    Nate has always been someone I’ve worried about and adored. Some of my favorite high school memories included him. Always intelligent, kind, and a great conversationalist, he could have done so much with his life. I know there are so many others in Oswego who are rooting for him and hate to see him going through this. Nate, you can make it, I’m going to keep having faith in that. ❤

    I went to high school with Nate, and our circles of friends overlapped. We went to punk shows together, went to the same parties, etc. He was always pretty well spoken, but definitely the wild child. Full of crazy stories, and everyone knew who he was in our small-ish, straight-laced town. He was always well-liked though. Can't believe he made it all the way to LA. Really hoping he can turn his life around, he's very bright and charismatic. Good luck, man!

You know you're not living right brother; you gotta find yourself a bed and clean out. You're up against it; I know. But there's more to life-- and you know it.

      @@tracykj56 I know you mean well, but the worst thing you can do with someone is addiction is indulge them. Abuse is a reason people (,like myself) used drugs or drank, but that's just part of it, there's our behaviour too, our destructiveness, our impact on others, that's down to us. And without a reality check, sobriety then radical therapy, you won't recover. Addicts want to hear from people like you, it maintains the delusion, continues the cycle. Eventually you need to turn around and say, your experiences don't give you the right to damage others.

    As a RN who has worked oncology and med surg, I am * perplexed* about his liver diagnosis. Most liver cancer patients have a survival rate of 2 to 5% over a year. It involves jaundice , muscle wasting... Drug induced psychosis is a safe bet though. I do hope he can find a way.Its can be ridiculous hard to get into treatment under the best circumstances, ( and by best circumstances I mean stable housing.. A better economic situation) Finding treatment is exceedingly difficult for those without a more stable situation) I have empathy for him; I hope he can find his way.

    Marc, it is 100% *not* okay to blame *anyone* for being raped, even if they have an addiction. It's incredibly damaging to tell someone that it's their fault, and to be so dismissive and invalidating after they have just shared very vulnerable information with you. It perpetuates the trauma, drug addiction, mental health and homelessness issues that you are trying to expose for the greater good.
    You have created a wonderful platform and helped many people. Please keep yourself trauma-informed and compassionate going forward ♡

      agree 100%. "you can blame your drug addiction for this". like saying blame yourself for being an addict and blame yourself for being raped. hursh and judgemental. especially after hearing his background. this guy has cptsd. if you can't show him some empathy better not to say anything. being judgemental on him is the exact opposite of what this channel is trying to achieve.

    I was addicted to heroin. When you're on it you can't imagine getting off. Seems impossible. But i used suboxone. It worked because it blocks the heroin. After a year on suboxone i just got over wanting heroin. Then started weening down on suboxone until eventually i was taking a tiny piece twice a day. Anyways my point is that you can get off the fentynyl. It's nowhere near as impossible as it seems.

I'm guessing he has hepatitis C. His mental health definitely needs to be treated. His comments definitely confirm his borderline traits. I sincerely wish him the best. Struggling everyday is no way to live. Maybe a maintenance program with co-occurring treatment would turn his life around. You need to have the desire to change your situation.

      If you don’t have money they don’t care, and trust me, if you have ANY addiction history, I’m talking pills not street drugs and just at the normal amount not even doctor shopping, I’ve now been discharged from every doctor due to being a “high risk patient” and yes I was prescribed a fair amount of painkillers benzos and also on an extended release amphetamine, but I quit all of it besides the benzos cold Turkey. And the pain doctor was the worst. They wanted me to say I did this or i did that. Because I got kicked out for not taking them EVERYDAY cause I don’t want to be addicted. So imagine being screamed at, piss tested multiple times in 2 weeks, over NOT wanting to be an addict. The doctor who kicked me out also tried to have an affair with her husband with me and I declined cause even tho she’s hot she thinks she’s on a fuckin tv show all day or something, it’s insane. But anyway, that gives you an insight to the CURRENT issue. Look it up. Called “high risk patients getting cut off” on Google and you’ll find MANY recent articles, as this just started
