Hi everyone, my name is Jeanine and I’m Jake’s mom. I posted a while back that Jake💙 is doing amazing. He went through rehab for three months and now he’s in sober living going on a month he’s working his step program with a sponsor getting all kinds of help and assistance. He’s doing really well. Thank you all so much for your kind words and support. It means everything to Jake’s family and to our son Jake💙. Amen and god bless to you and yours♥️🙏🏻❤

People typing out that he passed away and the others who write "thank god, he was a waste of oxygen", and "another addict in the dust, god's doing his job" are cruel people without an ounce of compassion. The only thing I wish upon them is a week of withdrawal syndrome from morphine (I'm making it easy for you, the stronger the opioid, the stronger the withdrawals. Fent is 100x more potent), not because I wish they get addicted, I wish that on no one. Let's say a bacteria causes the same symptoms :) so they understand what addicts go through, better yet let them feel that in jail/prison where you HAVE TO stand up for yourself while their body is aching from walking. They don't know anyone, a minute feels like an hour, and never-ending hell starts, there is no comfort, no family, no privacy, not a ray of the sun in sight. I know that after the first day shi**ng themselves and vomiting at the same time while sweating like they have run an 800m race (absolutely the worst distance to run, every athlete will tell you that) for Olympic gold in 100+ degree HUMID heat at the same time feeling that cold like you've never experienced. And I'm just describing the easiest things about withdrawal, some things aren't possible to grasp with words, especially the MENTAL anguish you go through, just physical syndromes would make them say sorry to every addict they see.

If it wasn't for you mama he would be still taking it, I congratulate you for being the supportive mother who didn't let your son drown but gave your hand so he could climb to the land. Nothing is more common in addicts who come around and that is supportive parent/s or someone in the family or loving but harsh friends who tell you how it really is. You need to congratulate yourself, it's equally your and Jake's achievement Ms. Jeanine. Congratulation to you both from the bottom of my little heart. And say congratulations to Jake from me! I'm also an addict (I started by codeine at 15yo). I also was with a girlfriend, though I thought of mine as the love of my life I would marry, after a year she cheated on me so I decided to go all in because I didn't care if I died because being without her was already worse fate then death (yeah, teenager love is very stupid but on the other hand very romantic). So I started using morphine and heroin so naturally, syringes and needles came with it at 16. At 18 I decided to also go Fent route, after 3 months on Fent (I had pure one because I had them from the patch (it's kinda like a band-aid that over time disposes all of fent to the whole body through 36h time, they are used in cancer patients. Long story short I found a way to extract it from the patches and then use it I.V.) 6 of my friends had died. 3 of them took their own lives, the other 3 ODs, one in my house and one in his, to which I broke in after 24h no response. Finding my childhood best friend dead caused so much trauma that it's hard to even write about it. One that died in my house literally was on my bed, 2 feet from where I now sit. Like your son I also stole opioids from a cancer patient (grandma's cousin that I and grandma visited), I took just one bottle, she had eight so I don't think it had any impact but I feel awful about it nonetheless I didn't admit it to no one besides my now dead best friend and now you. I don't think you can go any lower than that. ALL that your son had said resonated with me, his and my story and mirrored version of each other, mine in Europe yours in the US. I'm also on methadone (it doesn't get you high, it just makes you normal and able to work and drive) and I'm cutting my dosage until I'm completely opioid-free. Also just like your son, I'm addicted to benzodiazepines besides opioids (he takes Xanax I do Klonopin). I'm from 2001 and he is close to my age, we even dress similarly.
The shake in his voice when he admitted he stole from his aunt with cancer got me right in the feels. I’m really pulling for this kid.

He seriously does. Using fentanyl and still being able to have such a cognizant and positive thought of oneself is highly unusual. I believe he's close to being ready for relief. He also has a massive chance at staying alive if he commits to the methadone clinic. Methadone saved my life. It then became its own monkey - side effects are horrible and it's hard to get off of. But after 12 years I finally got off! And it's because I knew I wasn't hitting my own potential being chemically addicted to an opioid even after I quit the illicit stuff. I hope to god Jake makes it.

And I understand them bcs they dont wanna be depressed but after 5 months since the start of my X addiction(ket with synthetic weed) they told me that and it hurt it doesnt help just made it worse but then my mind come back and said "do you want to be a dead brother and son???" so after 4 more months i stoped and this "friends" and "gf" of my came back and said that they are glad to see me sober again but i cut them of bcs this ppl were not there for me when i needed their help i was left alone and helped my self alone i have a loving and care family that made somehow happy but they used the wrong way that made it even worse(At least they didnt give up on me and always tried to help me no matter that make them sad). So i became so good on hiding it to the point i destroed my mind and body and no one knew what i was going trough. So i helped my self alone somehow. After 5months i started again... but now cocaine and lsd and im not gonna lie after some time i feel like im frying out and stop for a solid month and i was so depressed bcs of other friends that leave(but for other reasons not my addiction) , so in this period of my cocaine&lsd addiction I found a very very well paid job that pays every week 450$(in my country the minimum is 400$ for a whole month), so more money more drugs buut this past 2-3months the person that i missed the most came back and told me that they are sorry they were not there for me and regreted that they listened to others telling them things about me that werent true and that he didnt asked me frist about it. My mother even found her own way to help me(we always started a fight durring our talking for making me stop). So now at least i have 2 loyal friends that know how to help me and family that love and care so much for me that they opened my eyes. So now im trying to stay away from any kind of drugs but still i feel stupid bcs now i stayed clean for month(not bcs to defry my head but bcs of the ppl that care) and this very moment i did it again and i smoked some pot to feed my 'hunger' for drugs and felt bad so i played this video and yes. Thats my short non-detalied addiction story, stay strong and if you ever feel like being alone dont hesitate to contact me in someway I understand how you all feel and think, so I will be glad to help with what i can!!!!Love for all of you

The sooner you get sober the sooner you are given the opportunity by God to rebuild your life and start from the ground up. Don’t look at where you’re at, look at where you’re headed.

Jake I hope you see this. I’m a psychologist and I just have to let you know that you are really smart, so self aware, and socially intelligent. And let me tell you, there are 40 year olds who have never had an addiction who don’t have the attributes you have. You have your youth and your brain and body are resilient at this age regardless of the things you’ve done thus far. It’s so fucking hard when you’re young to get sober because a social life is so important to kids and if your friends are on something, the odds are slim to none that you’re gonna maintain sobriety. I have ADHD too and I need to look at the research but I think we are more prone to addiction. I’m getting off track. My point is that your youth and your brains are things older people would kill for - obviously your addiction can fuck all that up over time but you can also get to a point where there is nothing you can’t fix from your past and you can start totally fresh in your life. You don’t want to go out like this. And you know that a fent addiction will land u in jail or a grave or both. It’s not a matter of IF - it’s WHEN. You wouldn’t have the gifts you have if you are just supposed to die before you even really experience life and true freedom. Your honesty about the things you’ve done like steal oxy from your aunt with cancer is such a step in the right direction. It’s an indicator of your openness and courage and humility. There’s something special about you and you’re meant to be somebody you can be proud of. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and you’ve got a real shot at making your dreams happen. If you’re offered an opportunity to do inpatient rehab do it. Do it and don’t look back.

So glad to see his mom's comment that he's in rehab and sober. I am an artist as well and my biggest advice would be for him to really dive into his hobbies and put his emotions into his artwork rather than drugs. No judgement here I understand the struggle. It has really helped me to spend more time engaging with my hobbies and art to stay away from bad friends and drugs. I pray he continues to be sober and enjoy his life, he is young and has a lot to live for.
Wow I can’t believe how self aware this young man is, he deserves to give himself a huge pat on the back (regardless of being in active addiction) for being so young and having been through what he’s been through he hasn’t given up on himself. He is trying to get better for himself and he has goals and dreams and i sincerely hope he is able to get there. Sending positive thoughts to you and I pray you pull yourself through ❤
He has SO much potential, my god. I hope he recovers from addiction and makes something out of himself because he’s seriously intelligent, articulate, attractive, and could do so much better than this. It’s people like this, who are around my age and who have gone through similar things, who’s stories hit the hardest for me. I wish Jake the best. I really do.

His self-awareness and his poise show tremendous potential.

He reminds me of somebody I love dearly. I hope he’s still out there and doing better. Good luck, Jake.
I was this kid. This kid exactly. Now I’m over 5 years sober with a family and a truly happy life. It can be done Jake. When they tell you to change people places and things, it doesn’t mean some of them- it means all of them. It can be a little isolating and lonely sometimes while you find your way making new friends and relationships but I can’t put into words how worth it it is. I’m living a life that is so full and a life I NEVER thought was possible for me. We DO recover. Rooting for you Jake.

Jake is a perfect example of my generation, our trauma and substance abuse. Smoked a lot of weed at a young age, hung around the skate park and got into xans, and everything escalated from there. There is a huge disconnect between us and the older generation, we were raised on social media and have major attention span issues that are increased exponentially by social media and the internet in general. I related to him more than any other person I’ve seen on SWU so far. Jake there is light at the end of the tunnel. Find an inpatient rehab facility and GO.

I too was a raging junkie. For yrs and I struggled to find sobriety long-term, but it happened and I've been off the junk for roughly 16 yrs. It was not easy and again, a lot of suffering was part of the process. Cut to the chase, this young man is rather resilient.

Damn the kids young. I went through 10+ years struggling with opioids and you can tell he is all but screaming for help but it’s tough man. You gotta really want it, and unfortunately a lot of the times it’s just something that comes with age. Really really hope he makes jt.

I have faith he'll make it out. He's so much more self aware than most addicts. When you see that clearly, eventually you cant ignore it anymore. At least that's how my bottom hit me. Seeing friends dying around me left and right, the daily seeking that just grinds you into a pulp, seeing what I had lost and what my life had become... eventually I had enough. I hope to god Jake finds some solace.

Doesn’t that suck? That addicts can’t see it until they see it. Took me 9 years 4 rehabs and tons of different pills they tried to put me on (I take nothing at all now, fuck doctors) had best friends OD and still didn’t stop. One day I broke down and saw everything so clear and that’s all I needed. What’s terrible is so many addicts won’t ever make it to that point because of ODing.

I became incredibly addicted to meth and heroin when I left home for university in Norcal, my friends who were also my floormates introduced me to drugs. I stopped studying, eating, exercising, socializing. I flunked out of college and had to move back home. Thousands of dollars down the drain that was spent on my tuition, and my mental health was in tatters. I tried so hard to quit but I kept crawling back to my plugs. The only reason I finally was able to separate myself from that lifestyle was when my floormate OD'd and passed away in 2020. He left behind a 1 year old son at the time. It devastated me enough to make me stop for good. I hope anyone who struggles with addiction can get the support they need.

It's so obvious he was screaming for help, but his fam & friends failed him. He really does have so much potential, insight, talent, and heart. I pray he works his methadone program and can skyrocket himself into success, and would love to see an update about it all.

For the people who say "for someone who's addicted to drugs.." anyone addicted to drugs is real person with thoughts and feelings. I think a lot of people don't give them the chance and get to know them and understand them. They're usually the most humble people. Be kind to everyone ✨️

Actually, that’s the best way for you to refer to someone who has an addiction (besides their name obviously). It’s better than saying “the addict”. By saying “someone who’s addicted to drugs”, you’re acknowledging that they’re just someone like you and me who happens to be addicted to drugs~ no hate tho honestly. Your message is still good though

I know there’s so many people out there that give subuxone shit but if it helps you from sticking a needle in your arm every day, I’d much rather that. Good luck to this kid.

That's why I have a lot of admiration for Generation Z. They possess a great level of introspection, awareness, and intelligence. They are well-informed, proactive, and focused. Jake, I sincerely hope that you find healing and recovery from your pain and trauma. May your path be filled with joy and achievements. Believe in yourself, as your methods and approaches are on the right track. Take things one step at a time.
I can relate so much to This guy. I am 23 and for 7 years I was addicted to hard drugs, I did not even get high, I was just addicted to the substance and wanted to get away to some inner pain I’ve always felt. I am such a joyful and smart girl, I don’t know how I ended up in that situation. I am still trying to forgive myself for hurting me that much and putting me through that horrible drug path. Since I’ve tried it, I’ve always wanted to quit. I was not able to. Every single week I wanted to quit drugs. 7 f0kn years being addicted, and damaging myself. As I told you, I am still trying to forgive me And this comment, is kinda helping to do so.
I am really rooting for this kid. He's super likable, relatable, and smart. He has enormous potential. He'll do amazingly well if he makes the effort to surround himself with good-hearted people who make healthy choices. Maybe we here in the comments section should start a gofundme to chip in and send him to a really nice rehab place for a few months like Sierra Tucson or Betty Ford. Just a thought.

The words of wisdom at the end HIT. Jake, you're brilliant. Live your full potential, don't be afraid of success. You're so capable. Believe in yourself!
Sending love to you Jake, you are a good person who hasn't been able to deal with the things life has thrown at you without self medicating, it doesn't make you a bad person. You are still lovable. I hope you make it through to the other side. Never give up giving up x
His "friends" who encouraged him to smoke weed after he was finally sober from jail are some real pieces of shit. A decent person, not just a decent friend, would recognize that he was trying to stay sober and respect that. Not even help him stay sober, just respectful enough to not shove weed down his throat like they did. Poor kid
I was only 13 when I started fent, was smokin 8-20 pills a day for a year straight. I’m 15 now and 10 months clean off of it! But man this interview hits hard :( it’s insane how it changes you, brings out all your demons fr. Those withdraws are awful man I jus remember how avoiding them was my only priority, lost all my morals nd values. One of The first steps is breaking denial and being vulnerable, not easy at all!!! idk where this man is now but I hope he’s doing better 🫶🏻
This was a real one I loved this interview I praying for your sobriety this has to be the hardest thing ever I have fri3nds around here and they have it hard fighting fent addiction. You can make it i believe in you.
This is one of those really intelligent addicts who knows exactly what receptors the drugs affect and actually does his research on shit. I was the same way, gotta channel that energy and Infatuation into something healthier though. I know this kids gonna make it though he's a smart kid.
