I was high school close to Fresno watching this guy and that loaded Fresno State team every game all our friends would get together for the games. His press conference with Tark hurt to watch!! Him and Courtney Alexander Rafer Ely Terrance Roberson were bigger than life!! When I read he OD in the Fresno Bee it broke me!! Fast forward 20 yrs later the mother of my children got hooked on pills and had to go to rehab, we weren’t together anymore but I supported her through it and she told me they played Chris’s unguarded for them and it was a different feeling in the room after! His life’s calling was something different even though he’s one of the best college hoopers I watched live!!

I was a junkie for a decade. Same story,started with percs from a car accident which led to a black tar heroin addiction. I’ve been clean from dope for over a decade now. I’ve been to over a dozen rehabs and they didn’t work for me because I honestly didn’t want to quit. You know how it is, you can’t force a junkie to get clean. They are going to have to want it for themselves,that’s the only way it’s going to work. They tried to put me on methadone and subs but I didn’t want to be dependent on just some other opioid. This is what worked for me when I finally got clean and I have not had a relapse or even craved dope. Ibogaine and DMT is what got me clean. From all the people I’ve spoken with that have gone this route the percentage of people that have stayed clean is remarkable. You know that a traditional 12 step program’s success rate is under 10% which isn’t good. The odds are definitely not in our favor. I have friends that have tried to get off subs and the stories I’ve heard are brutal. I’ve heard that the detox can last a month compared to dope being 5-7 days. But I highly recommend going the Ibogaine and DMT Route. It will change your life completely for the better. I don’t know what part of the country you live in but if I were you I would do some research into it. I went to Costa Rica to do it but this was in 2011 and I’ve heard that there are places in the states now that offer this amazing treatment. I even quit smoking cigarettes that same day I quit doing dope. I hope that you get off the subs because it’s just another opioid and why be dependent on something like that. You don’t need it. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. I once again suggest that you look into it. To me and many others who have gone this route we all recommend it. It’s like a miracle cure. Oh weed also helped me a lot.

I just got off fent and i decided to just deal with it instead of take suboxone and ill tell you this its been like 1month now and i still aint feeling good but i feel better than the mental thing of having to take subs…. Also i use ketamine sometimes so im def prolly still fucking up

@tomking7080 Жыл бұрын

@@RyanAlwaysWins I’ve heard that the fentanyl is a different animal to get off of. How did you use the ketamine? Have you tried DMT and/or Ibogaine?

@RyanAlwaysWins Жыл бұрын

@@tomking7080 i just snort the K, i have already done DMT probably 50 times before i took any opiates. Also i only used opiates for 4 months but it was the worse withdrawals. The DMT trips ive had have given me the mental fortitude to do anything. Also it opened up a line of communication with God i didnt have before. So really it was god who’s helped me get through this stuff.

Extremely disappointed he didn’t ask him about his suicide story when he was dedicated to doing and the only that stopped him after his overdose was a woman who worked with his mom d told him Chris I knew your mom I’m going to get you help today because that’s what she would want for you will you go please. And that’s what led to his 1 year completion of rehab and to stay sober since. God works never give up.
