Michael Franzese. I just got back home after spending three nights in jail, eight days in a mental facility and seven months in a drug rehab. I had been on Xanax for 37 years, it was prescribed. I’m clean now and filled with the Holy Ghost. Praise God. 🙌🏼

@jyripeltola6677 suboxone saved my life.. not sure how you feel about medication associated but to me withdrawal was like straight up torture.. I couldn't do I'd rather be hit by a car lol. But subs helped me get away from M30s. Good luck!! I'm rooting for you

Michael, I have reached out several times to see if you knew my dad back in the early 70's. His name was Murray Silverstein and he was the President of the Sheet Metal workers union in NY and NJ. I know he worked with Carmine's people and sadly, he died of a heart attack in 76. I know about connections ( i would hear names like Allie boy, Junior, etc) and Carmine even attended my sisters wedding (she still has the card). I just wanted to know if you knew him or ever met him. Thanks and love your channel !
