i knew, as soon as you said "sooo"that youre a Carolina boy. Thank you Detox to Rehab, for providing people with evidence- yes you CAN break free from addiction! Lets go! 💪
My heart is beating, you are so much like my son. His addiction path to misery started at aged 14, he spent most of his life in and out of prison, countless overdoses and the police raids, it goes on and on, in and out of rehabs but the devil heroin and greed seemed to be the feed as he was a dealer and a debt collector. It sure tears the family apart, he is not hated, the drugs are hated, he chose to estrange himself from the family for what he put us all through. He is 47 and still cant get off Methadone. All the best Ryan.
I remember Ryan's story vividly. Congratulations. We actually pass through some difficulties in other to help others. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
An armor that does not have any scar did not experience any war. Your armor is full of it, but you came out stronger and full of wisdom. Thank you for sharing your experience ryan.
Good Job Ryan, I can relate to many things in your story. Stay strong and keep growing. Service keeps us clean and you are definitely on the right path!
What a life story, Ryan has really gone through some life especially being raised by foster family not knowing the parents. Am just glad he got clean and shared his life story, Congrats to him for winning the grand prize as well.
When a parent allows a kid to quit school without a good reason that explains alot why he came to this path, Deciding to get clean was a good choice. He got his life back and that is a very good thing.
This is the kind of videos I wish to share with my friends who are struggling with addiction. I want something that will give them hope. Thanks a lot for the motivation. You are indeed a winner. Getting over addiction isn't for the faint hearted.
Congratulations to you Ryan. Being addicted to hard drugs doesn't mean because it might be as a result of depression. The issue is of you remain in it with letting go.
I think that such kind of prizes should be arranged for people who usually suffer from addictions and this could motivate people to fight off addictions even more. When you get rewards for fighting addictions, you strive harder to become much better person.
This is an amazing story Ryan. you're very correct in stating "addiction is a progressive disease". An introduction to addictive substances always lead to further experimentation with other substances and it goes on and on. I am super glad you've put all that behind you now.
Very young teens don't go abuse/ use really hard drugs and very hard alcohol, at all. Its usually the very young children and very young teens that have experienced horrendous, trauma, that start to look for something, to ease the pain that feel from being abused.
These young teens and young children, don't see any other options, but to try and numb the feelings and emotions, with drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroine, ectascy, vodka, beer, and any other illegal substances that can get their hands.
