“I Sh0t Up With an Open Wound… It STILL Wasn’t Enough” | From Florida Pill Mills to 11 Years Sober

Описание: Chris Kay was deep in the Florida pill mill era — Oxy, heroin, shooting cocaine, methadone clinics, jail, and over 15 treatment centers.

He shot up in a clinic bathroom the day after having his arm cut open from infection. His brother died from an overdose on his mother’s couch. Nothing stopped him.

Not jail.Not losing jobs.Not nearly losing his arm.

The only thing that finally broke him… was when the drugs stopped working.

In this episode of Nothing’s Off the Table, Chris shares:
• Growing up in South Florida during the pill mill epidemic
• Selling drugs in college
• Shooting heroin & cocaine• Detoxing 10+ times
• Losing his brother to overdose
• The moment drugs stopped giving him relief
• How he finally surrendered
• What 11 years of sobriety looks like today

Today, Chris works in the recovery field helping others find the same freedom he fought so hard for. If you’re struggling right now — this episode could change your life. Recovery is possible. But you have to surrender.
