Your Journey To Freedom Starts Now
My Story
Hi!
My friends call me "Stretch" (probably because I'm 6'6") and I'm just a regular guy who found myself addicted to Fentanyl, Percocet, and Xanax after a back injury. I started Fentanyl to Freedom in order to share my story of how I got there and how I managed to break the cycle and get my life back.
My sincere hope is that by sharing my story, I can bring awareness to the opioid crisis and educate people that it can happen to anyone. I also hope to be an example and show that it is possible to break the chains of addiction.
This site is dedicated to providing information, resources, support and community to anyone who is struggling with addiction, as well as those who care about them.
So read on to laugh, cry, and hopefully find a nugget of inspiration that will help you on your journey.
