The difference, the deal breaker for me that got me right back on track, is I always had a good prayer life and not to scare anybody with the god thing, but getting on your knees and praying is a big deal.
What happens when addiction takes hold at a young age? In this episode of 'Sicker Than Most', Dylan from New York opens up about his early start with drugs and the chaotic journey that followed.

Dylan's story is a raw and real look into the world of addiction, touching on the dangers of fentanyl and prescription fraud, both of which have become alarmingly common. He explains how many users turn to fentanyl because it's easier to get than heroin, leading to a tragic rise in overdose deaths. Acceptance plays a huge role in Dylan’s recovery.
Coming to terms with the fact that he couldn’t use drugs like others was a tough pill to swallow, but it was a crucial step toward sobriety. Throughout the episode, Dylan reflects on how curiosity and willpower influenced his addiction. He admits that his curiosity often led him back to dangerous habits, even during recovery. But he also realized that willpower alone wasn’t enough; he needed something bigger to help him break free. For Dylan, that something was prayer.
He speaks about the transformative power of getting on his knees and praying, emphasizing that it made a significant difference in his journey. Dylan’s story also highlights the impact of addiction on family and loved ones. He talks about how his addiction strained relationships but also how his family’s support was pivotal in his recovery. By sharing his experiences and helping others through the steps, Dylan found a way to give back.
