Jordan's testimony was shared beautifully by your father, I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏🏼 I have substance use disorder and have been in active recovery for 7 years on April 3rd this year, my own issues began similarly to Jordan's with a legitimate prescription for Hydrocodone after a procedure I had to have after finding out my pregnancy was not viable at 16 weeks gestation, I was very young, just turned 18 & it was my first pregnancy and although I was not prepared to be a mother I was very emotionally distraught by the loss of the babies I was carrying so when I began taking the medication for legitimate acute pain during this period of time I quickly realized that the opioids affected my brain in a way that not only relieved my physical pain, but also my emotional pain and it became a crutch to overcome that as well as a lot of other emotional pain I had bottled up from my childhood traumas... it's so hard to understand how substance use disorders affect an individual, but these testimonies shared about those who have lost their lives to this disease help to better understand and empathize with those who have the disease, I'm so grateful for each person who's shared here and I pray that all of those affected by this horrible disease whether directly or indirectly as a loved one who's suffering watching their family or friends suffer with addiction, can have peace that surpasses all understanding and that those who are currently suffering can find the strength through God to seek help and get healthy again & live a long and prosperous life 🙏🏼🤍

I must applaud this father for acknowledging that his son was also culpable for his own death. That doesn’t make him a bad person, he had an addiction. This family and their late son seem like great people. I love that his other son hit a home run on the day he learned his brother died. That is perseverance. Sad this happened but his story will help others. Thanks for sharing.

Because all of these stories are different. Some kids it’s in the weed. So no it’s not a kids fault when they drop dead from one hit of weed. The government can’t keep it out. Not every story is some drug addict. People weren’t dropping dead back in the day from one pill. This isn’t normal. We need to stop blaming these people for taking one pill that is actually laced they are poisoned so no it’s not their fault.

This man definitely needs to start a ministry. He could be a father to so many who don't have one.

First of all I am really sorry for your loss and that the past decade has been as dark as it has. I have looked at a dozen of these interviews on this channel and this is the one that stands out to me because of the way you delivered the message. Your way of speaking struck me as warm. Warmth gently propelled by grief that is, and as tragic as the subject is, there is a sort of calm that radiates off of the way you instinctively structure your sentences. You are a speaker that naturally enhances peoples abilities to listen, conceptualize and interpret. I am trying to say, you are a beautiful speaker and I encourage you to let go of any and all insecurities with regards to public or on-record speaking if you can. Simply because you, in my opinion, are a great speaker. I just wish the subject would have never existed. I will put you in my prayers tonight if you don't mind, sir. I am writing this from the city of Amsterdam. Fair to say your message has some serious reach. I wish you all the best, and nothing less. Omar.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry for your loss. My 3 time suicide survivor story starts with my 43 year-old brother after a botched hip replacement surgery... addicted to Oxy. It moves on to my Bestie, Roger J. Dart, from Leawood, KS who shot himself with his service revolver. He was a paramedic for many years who had an ER physician give him scripts for pills... they would go to "swing" parties together. Your local dealer may just be your local ER doctor. He transitioned to the Police Academy before he took his life. And the third, for me, was my Dad. Yup... 86 years old. Fentanyl patches were his curse - for osteoperosis and arthritis pain. He took his own life with a Ithaca 22. These drugs and the reliance on them can present as suicidal ideations. Such an incidious web we weave. Keep sharing. You dont know who you may help.

My bf even made a a video of him talking to me so gently while in a coma. Unfortunately I still have addiction issues, despite every single thing I went thru in the hospital and recovery learning how to walk and talk again, worst pain of my life, dropped 30lbs, blood transfusions, pneumonia getting pricked with needles constantly, countless amount of MRI and cat scans major surgery that left me with a huge scar on my belly etccc.

It was only until I started watching independent journalists at the Texas border, did I learn about Fentanyl. It is horrifying enough knowing that extreme criminals from other countries are being let in, to then go on to commit other horrific crimes on US citizens, but becoming knowledgeable about the cartel manufacturing and/or getting it across the border in mass quantities was also horrifying. The documentaries that I’ve seen are absolutely heart breaking. Their only goal is to make money and create addicts to make even more money. I’d been interested to see the statistics of deaths by Fentanyl over the last four years compared to the four years prior. I might go research that. 😢

When he said he was worried about drinking&smoking but didnt think about pills made me go "uh huhhh",because its very easy to get to liking that good feeling of being lifted😢.

And what's sad is that, substance abuse disorder is genetic. I was a lot like this father. He had no idea his son was addicted till it was too late. I knew my son was an addict but had no idea he was hooked on opioids. I was prescribed opioids for a wisdom tooth removal in my 20s took all the pills prescribed, didn't get hooked. My son on the other hand overdosed on opioids and died. We need to create an inner cheek swab test to test for substance abuse disorder. Something needs to be done. My condolences. Our stories are similar. My son also didn't initially believe himself to be an addict. He also left the rehab I put him into. He also felt he wasn't like the other addicts. Addiction is mental illness, it's really a substance abuse disorder. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

I dont think it should be seen as embarrassing for your family (24:32) because addiction is an illness just like anything else. I wouldn't look at anyone's family differently because they had a child, sibling etc pass away from addiction. I think that unfortunately plays a part in why sometimes people can be reluctant to speak out, but there should be no shame felt, especially when this gentleman did everything he could for his son, and is still continuing to contribute greatly to the community by sharing this son's situation and story. I think it's very brave and commendable and i admire him for being able to do so.

The US Federal Government raked in 3.8 billion dollars just from Walmart pharmacy for their over-distribution of Fentynal. It's all supposed to be going to public awareness. No way.

Thank you for watching and the kind words

When it comes to taking a prescription of a pain regimen each one of us faces the 50/50 chance of either liking the side effects it makes us feel or we don't. Of course, there are other factors that can increase the chances of addiction. People can have addictive personality disorders and not aware of it until they take medicine with addictive side effects. And there is a lot more medicines that are addictive as well as pain medication. I live with severe chronic pain in my spine. I was in a bad truck accident and it has caused a great deal of pain. However, I never liked taking any pain meds because I didn't like the side effects but it was putting damage on my heart going through the pain each day. I tried every other option before I had to resort to pain regime. I am really sorry for your loss as well as other parents who have lost a child due to addictiveness as well as being killed by fentanyl poisoning. I thank you all for sharing your experiences, your tragedies. God Bless and thank you!

Pain is different ppl stick to a controlled dose. It’s when you start liking and increasing or taking to get high.

Some parents give all, and still suffer such heartache and loss. So so sad.

These laws need to catch up with the times. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless.🙏🏾❤️

Wow this is a good father. May GOD grant you Peace

That is exactly how it started with me too, wisdom teeth extraction. I'm 10 years clean now, i still get that feeling sometimes though and want some. Then I think about awful stories like this and don't. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I didn’t know patches can be dangerous as the pills Thank you for sharing your son Jordan story

What a lovely caring Dad! ❤

Wow, what a wonderful father, Jordan was blessed to have you. You did all the right things and as you say, pill addiction is a hidden beast. Jordan was a beautiful man who got blind sided by the “legal” drug trade, such a waste. Bless you and your family 🙏🏼🥰

Thank you so much

A powerful story. Thank you so much for sharing.

RIP Jordan! Prayers for all who love you!🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing your story that can help someone else going through the same struggles. My condolences to the family for your loss. May he rest in eternal peace. God bless. 🙏

What a brave young man to divulge having an issue with narcitics to his dad..I sympathize with Jordan with withdrawls .. Im sure he felt helpless..I started out with a legit back injury ... Vicodin ..I went though them when the doctors started to get scared and cut patients off abruptly..I was on them for 13 years..I too was ambivalent..I didnt feel I was an addict. But the opioids became a huge part of my life ..I didnt feel it was that bad .Im very sorry for the outcome but thank God he could talk to you .

Thank you for sharing your sons story and educating others.

He was great. Always, the best smile in the room. 😊

Thank you for telling Jordan and your family's story about fentanyl poisoning. I'm so sorry for your loss, he seems like a really good person. It's crazy to think how much worse this epidemic has gotten since your son's passing. Hopefully, the tides will change soon.

Thank you for sharing your story. My heart goes out to you and I’m so sorry for your loss.❤️‍🩹

Thank you for telling this story.

I told a Dr. I once worked with, that his colleagues are the main responsibility for this epidemic. He completely agreed. This is a re accuring theme. Along with the abject fear of weed. Which Ive never really heard of weed starting an addoction to opiates. Im sure it has been mentioned as a step towards opiate addiction. But, it usually starts with that first RX.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I've watched so many of this series of videos, and every one is just as terrible and heartbreaking for everyone involved. Praying for the success of the work you're doing and having a sit down talk with all my adult children at Easter. This needs to be talked about!!

Jordan will always be missed, glad you shared his story, if this helps one person or many worth sharing, think if you always & my heart hurts for you all!!!

This is a great video. Sorry for your loss. But thank you for your storry

Thank you for all you do ❤ I am so sorry for the loss if your son. I hope sharing your story that parents will watch. I've shared so much the last 7 years since I list my son as well and people just ignore it. It's so frustrating 😢

Thank you for watching Jordan's story, and sorry that you have lost a child, as well. Yes, it's very frustrating trying to reach out to people. They will take the time to play a silly game for hours and hours, but will not take the time to watch something like this. It hurts, and it's frustrating. I'm happy people are watching this video, and I hope everyone shares it on platforms. I hope you have found some peace with the loss of your son.

Sir, I am so sorry for the loss of Jordan. My blessings to you and your family. Keep fighting against this horrible poison. 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸

Being transparent is just being open about something very painful for your entire family. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.....it is so very important to be able to carry on living and coping with ones future. Brave family....thank you for sharing. God bless

. The starting pitcher I graduated with in 2012 had a similar story. Had a great family, starting pitcher for the high school team, smart kid. He Started using painpills to block the pain when he pitched.Got into harder stuff and got murdered a year later in 2013 trying to buy heroin in a drug deal gone bad

Thank you so much for sharing your heart breaking story. I truly believe these families are saving so many lives while they have lost so much! Much appreciation and love! Lj

I am from the netherlands and what amazes me is that I've heard many young people get there first rush at the dentist or hospital. Here in the netherlands you don't get those medications. Maybe it would also be helpful if they change what kind of meds they give young people. Tysm for sharing your story, and I'm so sorry for your loss! ♥ From the netherlands
