Just because you're- I don't want somebody listening- to say: oh, you're only taking Five A Day. But at this point, when I was using, you know, roxy Thirties or something of that high milligram dosage, it's because I was cut off by the doctor and I had to turn to the street.
Jack Kropp’s story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In this episode of 'Sharing Recovery', Jack sits down with host Audacy to recount his tumultuous journey from teenage drinking to battling a full-blown heroin addiction. Starting with innocent high school parties, Jack’s substance use spiraled into a dependence on prescription painkillers and eventually, heroin.
He opens up about the heavy stigma surrounding addiction and how it can be a silent killer, preventing many from seeking the help they desperately need. Jack’s candid discussion sheds light on the importance of intervention and treatment, and how approaches to these have evolved over time. He doesn’t shy away from talking about his struggles with anxiety and depression, and how addressing these co-occurring issues was crucial in his recovery process.
Jack’s story is one of transformation and hope, emphasizing that recovery is not just about quitting substances but also about rebuilding self-worth and finding a new path in life. This episode is a raw and honest look at the realities of addiction and the incredible strength it takes to overcome it.
