Today I take suboxone. I'd probably go right back to the dope if it wasn't for suboxone. And I mean when I first got on them, yeah, I mean it got me high for like The First Two Days. It's really, it's an amazing story and just how strong you've been.
What happens when life throws you into the darkest corners, yet you find a way to claw back to the light? In this compelling episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels sits down with Jimmy R., who shares his raw and heart-wrenching journey through addiction, incarceration, and the path to recovery. Jimmy's story begins in his youth, where he found himself entangled in the juvenile system, shuffling between detention centers and mental health institutions.
The loss of his daughter marked a turning point, leading him down a spiral of addiction that ultimately landed him in prison. But Jimmy's tale is not just one of despair. He talks about battling homelessness and the constant lure of returning to drugs. Through sheer determination and the aid of suboxone, Jimmy found a lifeline. As he candidly puts it, 'Today I take suboxone. I'd probably go right back to the dope if it wasn't for suboxone'.
His story is a testament to human resilience and the power of finding hope even in the bleakest situations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration or grappling with their own struggles with addiction.
