Hi! I’m Austin, a recovering heroin addict. Opiate addiction is an epidemic in the United States- particularly among young, suburban white kids like me. I have battled addiction for ten years and will share the lessons I have learned, and try to offer some hope while I walk through a return to recovery after a recent relapse. If you or a loved one are facing the demon of addiction, I would love to help. This is my experience.

    Two Weeks Deep - Hope and Fear, Tips and Recovery Kick Off

    If you have made it this far — You are a miracle beyond all miracles. Way to go. In this episode I’ll share some experience of what has worked to improve my mental state this week, post deathly-detox, and then talk about what we can (and can’t) do about all the damage we created while we were out getting loaded. The damage, that feels like a stranger did it, now that you’ve been sober for a couple days. The damage, which has to be right in our newly sober faces, so we can learn something about ourselves.

    Kicking the Dope. Detox Day 3. Also- SURPRISE! Nobody Feels Sorry For You

    Damn. Hello my fellow fans of pharmaceuticals. Detox Day 3 is certainly a rough one, physically. But here’s the thing I/we always get wrong about kicking - and why your best bet is to check in somewhere professional for the whole thing (if possible). While you are in this state of severe withdrawal and misery, everybody is still mad at you. That’s probably part of the reason you’re going through with this shit process of kicking anyway. And just because you’re hurting, and nutting out this week-long shitstorm, the people you hurt along the way, well, they don’t feel sorry for you at all. My girlfriend - and that’s not a very descriptive word for the woman of my dreams, the woman I’m sure is meant to be my wife, who I want to grow old with, who I would give anything to make happy - literally dumps me during day 3 of detox in today’s episode. I’m experiencing emotional pain and suffering beyond words, but thankfully we have a way to survive it. The program of recovery gives us support, and a solution, to face the suck. And boy, does it suck hard today. This is - not an exaggeration- the worst day of my life.
