It ain’t pretty, it ain’t nice. It hurts and aches and it is scary, terrifying, strange, and new. But it leads through the woods to a beautiful life on the other side. Join me from day 1 (miserable) sober, to the rest of my life in recovery.

Kicking Dope Sucks. Detox Day 1 - First Step Back to Sober

Hi! I’m Austin, a recovering heroin addict. Opiate addiction is an epidemic in the United States- particularly among young, suburban white kids like me. I have battled addiction for ten years and will share the lessons I have learned, and try to offer some hope while I walk through a return to recovery after a recent relapse. If you or a loved one are facing the demon of addiction, I would love to help. This is my experience.
