FENTANYL KILLS: Jordan Krokroskia's Story 

Your dad is amazing. He should be a Minister too. He tells stories with no Judgement and all love.

Sorry for your loss Colton 🕊️ your dad seems like a very good guy and proud and loving Father. Sending prayers and Blessings to you and your family 🙏❤️

Colton, thank you for your comment here. Very sorry for your loss.

Your dad did amazing! I’m so proud of him and how this turned out. Love you both!

Jordan's testimony was shared beautifully by your father, I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏🏼 I have substance use disorder and have been in active recovery for 7 years on April 3rd this year, my own issues began similarly to Jordan's with a legitimate prescription for Hydrocodone after a procedure I had to have after finding out my pregnancy was not viable at 16 weeks gestation, I was very young, just turned 18 & it was my first pregnancy and although I was not prepared to be a mother I was very emotionally distraught by the loss of the babies I was carrying so when I began taking the medication for legitimate acute pain during this period of time I quickly realized that the opioids affected my brain in a way that not only relieved my physical pain, but also my emotional pain and it became a crutch to overcome that as well as a lot of other emotional pain I had bottled up from my childhood traumas... it's so hard to understand how substance use disorders affect an individual, but these testimonies shared about those who have lost their lives to this disease help to better understand and empathize with those who have the disease, I'm so grateful for each person who's shared here and I pray that all of those affected by this horrible disease whether directly or indirectly as a loved one who's suffering watching their family or friends suffer with addiction, can have peace that surpasses all understanding and that those who are currently suffering can find the strength through God to seek help and get healthy again & live a long and prosperous life 🙏🏼🤍

Pharma is at fault. They lied about how addictive opiods are.

Thank you for the kind words my friend.

This! As a parent you did the best you possibly could. Praying for some healing.

I’m so sorry!

Because all of these stories are different. Some kids it’s in the weed. So no it’s not a kids fault when they drop dead from one hit of weed. The government can’t keep it out. Not every story is some drug addict. People weren’t dropping dead back in the day from one pill. This isn’t normal. We need to stop blaming these people for taking one pill that is actually laced they are poisoned so no it’s not their fault.

Thank you for the kind words my friend.

So very sorry for ur loss

He most likely saved many lives. God bless him.

🫂🫂🫂🙏🙏🙏

​@@jameskrokroskia9232so very sorry for your loss. You're a great father. ❤😢🙏

So sorry for your loss. Addiction is so hard on everyone involved. Praying for peace.

A Rx for a ‘bad sunburn’? That’s ridiculous! I’m deeply sorry for your loss.

GOD BLESS YOU

🧢Our hats off to you coach Krokroskia/deputy Krokroskia you're an excellent father.👏🏻

*losing...🙂

I'm so impr

That’s the case with most dental procedures now a days.

When I was single parenting an oral surgeon offered me opioids instead of solutions from a botched molar pulled by another dentist. I said no thanks! Can you imagine? Like life wasn't hard enough. Oral systemic enzymes can help with pain too. I use Medizym. But I was just so shocked that oral surgeon would have just like that sent me back to all my responsibilities with addictive pain meds. Do better.

Where I live, my kind can’t just make a call to get prescription drugs. Now people who really needs them can’t get them. Dam shame.

Tylenol & ibuprofen are pain pills

@@marioncannon9924No they aren’t.

Very sorry to hear this. Cherish those little ones, because they are absolutely GOLD. One of the hardest things that we have struggled with, was the fact that Jordan would never have that opportunity to be a Dad. I know it's hard just look at those children and not be very emotional, but it truly is a blessing that she has left a part of her with you on earth(x3). Keep your head up, and educate those children. God bless.

I wish e-hugs could make the pain flee

Thank you, and I'm very sorry about your son.

I lost my 22 yr old son from a brain bleed last year. It's he'll.

My condolences. I’m so sad this is happening to so many families.

I'm happy to hear about his sobriety. Make sure he has the tools to handle the "Bad Day", because we all have those days. Thank you for watching and the kind words.

We also have a series of Recovery stories in our playlist that you might find interesting

Thank you very much, because I need the confidence to possibly do more of these types of videos. This is way out of my comfort zone.

First of all I am really sorry for your loss and that the past decade has been as dark as it has. I have looked at a dozen of these interviews on this channel and this is the one that stands out to me because of the way you delivered the message. Your way of speaking struck me as warm. Warmth gently propelled by grief that is, and as tragic as the subject is, there is a sort of calm that radiates off of the way you instinctively structure your sentences. You are a speaker that naturally enhances peoples abilities to listen, conceptualize and interpret. I am trying to say, you are a beautiful speaker and I encourage you to let go of any and all insecurities with regards to public or on-record speaking if you can. Simply because you, in my opinion, are a great speaker. I just wish the subject would have never existed. I will put you in my prayers tonight if you don't mind, sir. I am writing this from the city of Amsterdam. Fair to say your message has some serious reach. I wish you all the best, and nothing less. Omar.

Thank you for the kind words, and I'm incredibly sorry loss of all those important people in your life. Many do not understand the correlation between addiction, and the current suicide rate. That's in a different category of fatalities, but just another form of the poison it leaves behind. (Mental Poisoning).

Thank you for this comment. Jordan would've made an incredible Father, no doubt. ❤

Thank you so much.

Thank you for watching and the kind words

Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for the kind words. They suspected the patch was taken from an elderly care facility. Sadly, this usually meant someone's loved one did NOT get their pain medication, and they were left dealing with severe pain.

Michael Jackson died in 2009, I believe he over dosed on Fentanyl as well.

We were buying fentanyl patches in 2005. We would open them up and suck the juice out. Nowhere to go but downhill from there.

@@jrambo7495YIKES! 😳. Hope you’re doing well now.

Perhaps we could develop a story for our channel about medical perspectives toward opioids in other parts of the world … with your help.

Yes please

Greed of $$$. Thank you for watching and the kind words.

They are not mad. They are doing what they are told to do by big pharma. Google perdue and the sackler family . That are the criminals responsible for the oxycodon crisis which was followed by the fentanyl crisis.

Yeah well you probably weren’t into doing drugs back then either. When I was fucking around at that time, the drug dealer would actually ask us if we wanted to try or buy fentanyl. We always knew better. Shit now, they’re putting it in everything. Glad I got sober before that happened.

I had an ex in 2007 that had the patches. I was aware and they were abused by my ex. I had to leave and move on.

Me too not until 2024

Then you're a little late to the game. I've been hearing about street drugs laced with fentanyl for at least the past 15 years.

The government and pharma did.

Thank you so much for watching

I still believe pain pills are very needed, but we all need to have the awareness of the addiction. Thank you for watching.

I had the exact same reaction to oxycodone after a wisdom tooth extraction 20 years ago. It made me feel absolutely insane. Never again.

It is so strange how it affects people individually.

We also have a series of recovery stories in our playlist that you might find interesting, maybe even inspiring

Thank for these kind words, and watching my son's story. Sounds like you are ready to make the final life change to be sober, once and for good. Believe in yourself, because it doesn't matter what others think. You have to truly believe you can beat this addiction. You got this. ❤

@@jameskrokroskia9232 I used to play softball and run cross country and sprinting. I was a bit hyper. I was also in ballet. I’m going cause I feel my health failing. And I’m only 40. My father is going through Alzheimer’s, and I want him to remember his first born how I was.

@@jameskrokroskia9232 I’m still scared. I don’t like being around people I don’t know. I was athletic like your son. I played softball, volleyball and I’m short lol. Ran cross country and sprinted. I also lost all my beautiful hair due to meds. My father is going through Alzheimer’s. But I’m doing it for me, and my family. I just want to smile again and joke like I used to. You’re sons story broke my heart, but woke me up.

​@@melimel2990I hope you're staying strong! I also did ballet like you. I wanted to be a professional dancer and did the balletacademy when I was young. Then I started to use heroin and trew everything away! I'm 54 now and still struggling every day. I hope you can make some changes now, before you waste even more years of your life. Sending you positive vibes and a virtual hug from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching to the end.

Very suitable, our school allowed us to hold the Funeral inside the Gymnasium.

I agree with you! Thank you for watching.

Congrats. I'm so glad you are free of that addiction. Be aware, because the addiction will always be with you. Thanks for sharing.

Peace be with you. I am so proud of you. God has his hands on you. Stay focused and strong ❤

@@jameskrokroskia9232 I know, thank you. I did outpatient methadone rehabilitation. ik some days r going to be harder than others even after years without use/being clean.

@@foxtrotbravo2549 thank you 🙏and hope you’re having a blessed day.

Yes, they are brave. Their motive is to help others, to help strangers.

Very very true. Thank you for watching and the kind words

Thank you for watching and the kind words

Thank you for watching

I'm so sorry for your recent loss. It really is horrible. Story after Story, and we don't see it slowing down. Thank you for watching Jordan's story, and please share it on all platforms. I pray that you find peace with your loss.

@jameskrokroskia9232 Thank you. I hear about somebody dying everyday.I just wish it would stop 😭

So very sorry ❤

I’m so sorry. My deepest condolences on the loss of your precious daughter. I’m heartbroken by this epidemic.

I can’t remember if the father on the show mentioned that there was an addict in his family. Was this the case for your family?

Very very true. I'm sorry we have this in common, and Addictive Personality is a real thing, and Family Members need to be aware of. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Addiction is not genetic. Let’s get one thing straight, ANYONE can become addicted to anything…social media, porn, food, exercise etc etc

You are so wrong, addiction is not Genetic!

It is genetic. Yes anyone can get addicted is true. But people with the genetic condition have a higher chance. My great grandmother was an addict, my grandmother and my dad was an alcoholic. All of them on my dads side. I’m an addict. Have been for 18 years. I’m going away to a long term rehab next month and destroy a cycle that has affected my family so badly.

Thank you for watching and the kind words

Thank you for watching.

Pain is different ppl stick to a controlled dose. It’s when you start liking and increasing or taking to get high.

Thank you so much

Thank you for watching and the kind words

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching and the kind words. God is good. God has always been there for us.

These days the dosages are very low.

For surgeries these days, they don’t give a big amount. I think 10 is average.

Very true. Thank you for watching and the kind words

I live in Greece. After bunion surgery was told by the doctor to take Tylenol for pain. That's all that I needed.

Thank you for watching and the kind words.

Thank you for watching and the kind words

Thank you for watching and the kind words.

Thank you for watching. Definitely have to have an awareness of these pain pills, and often they are not needed.

Yes very much agreed

The US Federal Government raked in 3.8 billion dollars just from Walmart pharmacy for their over-distribution of Fentynal. It's all supposed to be going to public awareness. No way.

Thank you for watching and the kind words
