For those of you that don't know me, I've struggled with the disease of addiction for the better half of my life. I was in a terrible motorcycle accident at the age of 17, and was prescribed pain management medication for almost 2 years while i recovered. Without even knowing the extent of what the word addiction meant at the time, I did what the doctor said, and doing so led to me become dependant on the medication. When the prescriptions finally ran out, I didn't know how to properly assess the situation in the correct manner, became desperate and turned to the streets where it only worsened as each day passed.
Flash forward 16 years, I find myself in a hole so deep, I didn't think was ever possible getting out from. A toxic and unfulfilled life was all that I knew. But with a little luck on my side and some motivation to finally seek the change that was so long overdue, I was able to get on a plane and fly to a wellness center in Mexico called Yolita / Inscape. A place that uses all natural supplements and plant medicines to combat this disease. Today, I have a little over a month free of all narcotics. I've acquired some of the proper tools needed to set new boundaries for my health and personal well being, made friends with people here that I will hold close to my heart for the rest of my life, that have supported me and helped me thru this tough process every step of the way, and most importantly realized that time truly does heal all wounds no matter the size.
I've made this GoFundMe because my time is almost up here, being that I can no longer support myself financially while here on this path to recovery. With the hopes of any friends/family/or person that cares about me, or understands how hard Opiate addiction is to overcome, that might be able to help extend my recovery process & donate any amount they see fit, so that I can hopefully further my stay here. To broaden my abilities, sharpen my mind, body, and soul, and to give myself a real shot at having a life worth living...
Thank you,
With love,
