Is behind us and that is far from internal. The statistics such as they are are disappointing on the just released accounting report were and were on track to outpace last years deaths significantly. Not. To former prisoners and to people who have checked out of a state rehab center and need a safe shelter for a while they can stay for free until they find work and then they pay 500. 00 a month in rent. 10 months i knew. That im alive lets hear. My last jury. My 4 story apartment window on the sidewalk and should not be alive here today should not be a walk just another thing everything just did an asteroid. You know so its time to work out. I get to serve my darker. Still be a liar the last time i was. Born here all those. Kind of drugs. Bernard. Collaery met when they both rented rooms from rainout and banks have been heroin and misuses for than 10 years. Corey is from a very poor family in West Virginia is mother abandoned her at birth and shes never seen her biological father. And thats me. Is right after they adopted me because the day after that 4 days old i remember that she doesnt even know who made it so big mystery i dont really care its not important. I have a great family anyway. And then thats me senior picture so i was 17 and a half there. And i was a blond then. If. This is her adoptive parents were wealthy and loving but that didnt save her from addiction and other things the rap sheet. Corey have now states and i knew. I was just broke in you know i broke in college when i was raped in that stairwell you know thats when i started drinking and that slate when the the addiction in me was like awakened but never like i said consistently are alike. Nourish like i mean i nurtured my heroin it made everything that was broken inside of me away. When we met an old rowlings he was working with one of the crunch Rehab Centers and had been clean for long enough and yes as well as administered lead to the center. Of the streets hoping to try and help them change their lives. And. Hopefully. Its all his young man. Playing to see me thats what its all about you know all it takes is that one person. Connecting with another person you know believe in somebody else. The problem is. Not with your wifes money uncle im right im rob you dont look up my head your wife my mom ok bill you mean the research is pretty conclusive i mean we have genetic markers for addiction the disposition towards addiction certainly it is a Learned Behavior as well so now we have 3 generations of people under the same roof who know active addiction and again thats a path all of thats pretty entrenched i mean how do you interrupt that cycle when grandma builds dads wasted on this you know the kids are on meth where do you start to untangle that one im good now because i dont want to be a statistic i want to give my kids stuff that i didnt have like i was you know out of foster homes my whole life my dad could means money on mamas on dope my you know my aunts and uncles came up when i was 14 i came up to ohio in my whole family were gigantic it was a perfect. Factors were just now peeling back the layers of trauma throughout much of the 1990 s. And beyond the doctors were encouraged in some cases incentivized to overprescribe we have 2 small towns here in ohio. That have been prescribed millions of pills i mean enough to sedate a small country then we had the same aloa cartels and the other mexican cartels who have Distribution Centers throughout the rust belt in the midwest ohio very central among them drug addiction and the many other just desperate causes is the main reason behind it was steadily declining population according to the American Medical Association journal in 70 is from 2010 to 2017 the death rate among people aged 25. 00 to 64. 00 rose by more than 20 percent. This memorial was actually conceived built by the young people of our residents here are recovery residents part of who we are part of what we do is we provide ceremony in these peoples lives the ceremony of death which. Started about in 2013 we buried our 1st young guy from the house here and it has not abated and they are succumbing you know one after the next so these are all the personalized tags of the young souls who came to us and sought help and theres more coming. We had a couple of our crew of our sort of core guys who lived at the house when they left against council ford. 8 hours later they were dead relapse and their hearts stopped picking back up part of the challenge is if you stay in recovery obviously your tolerance lowers significantly. So you go back out of. The way of the way in this changed significantly i mean were talking about. A chemical that can stop your heart with the net mess of a grain of salt can stop your heart. You know just talking about fentanyl and cough and tamil people it seems to treat pain theyre quite similar to heroin chemically but much more potent compared to heroin fentanyl is 50 times more potent and cough in tamil 5000 times cough into the is so powerful that its used as a veterinary tranquilizer 2 milligrams is enough to sedate an elephant recent years have seen several mass prove a dose his own fentanyl and cough into know the drugs are cheap and pushes and them to the expensive heroin and meth to increase their profits given addicts more of a high for less money and to strengthen the dependency for dealers to get the dose right when they concoct the mixture at home thats why so many people die from overdoses and anyone who survives enjoys a painful withdrawal much worse even than from heroin. Doing too much ground. Why would you want to kill off your clientele but then when i used to also hear about people die say ray ray over here that yes somebody 3 people just died off all that stuff and we gotta go get that that guy was just crazy he did too much he know what he would do im different you dont know why oh now im robber on ya know you know were going to the same thing you know a. O. L. Weve got it wrong lets go get it bam. Done well it was hit the ground were in a house theres nobody around is guess what. That simple rule. To. A man. In a drug dealing has long been a simple and accessible source of income for many in town for anyone who wants to quit and break the cycle of addiction because the push is on literally everywhere. Its not hard on him i moved into a sober house and i want to be sober but i thought i did and i was walking to the bus you know from the sober house was over and brown street great area and i literally met my dealer walking to the bus stop he was like hey you want to sample thats how easy it is you know and i was like sure like what do you get you know and thats thats that was one of my relapse and one curious. Byproduct of course of the epidemic is the. Epidemic of crime. You know i just read here were 3 young guys right down the street here were shot in a running gun battle i mean were talking about a small city were on 190000 people and weve got a running gun battles up i mean its like chicago in the thirtys its wave of crime ive had rounds hit the building next door and 9 millimeter rounds right through the picture window so this is the wild west you know courtesy of the epidemic. Where you could just said here or here you know myself. Im not. Ok were at a. B. C. Church and bible church on brown street and we came here to do trunk or tree. Its where the kids travel. Trying to try on car to car in their costumes and get candy. Coming up in. Church and. Recovery from some sort of addiction. Its a rough neighborhood. Seemed wrong. To me to be yet to shape our. Becomes to educate and in. Equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Choose to look for common ground. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so of added 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. Dont. Annex a coal group is a member of the crown bible church she has 4 children and no husband she hasnt used meth for over a year and believes her drug and sex addictions a rooted in her childhood. My dad raised me work and now fox saying he raised me like as if i was his son instead of his daughter so thats how i dress and a lot of people would make fun of me for it that i and then at home my dad choosing my step mom over me i feel like because she didnt like me and she didnt like the relationship that my dad and i had and he kind of wanted to please her which kind of left me lonely i think thats where it all came into play i just wanted to sleep with somebody even if it was for one night just that you know 5 minutes or an hour couple hours of being with somebody for one night made me feel like i had selfworth. The drugs would know me but then the more people i slept with or the more bad things that i did or you know people that i heard id have to use more drugs to try to numb those feelings on top of the feelings or mardi numbing and it was just a process that never ended and then eventually it got to the point where nothing more. This is a place for a play baseball yes i was real good at it played Little League world series when i was 14. Very good at baseball was my escape baseball was my getaway because of the childhood and i had a grown up i used to. Use it driving foolish when i had my moments i still hear. You know i love being around kids and you know helping kids and stuff to the point where ultimately i dont want to use them for their kids but when i go and i spend more time over there because they have kids because it allows me to decompress. Wasnt there for mark huge. And there was. Never knew her biological father but since shes immensely grateful to her adoptive dad he kept believing in her throughout her years of addiction largely because of his support that she managed to overcome her dependence start a family was corey and move into a house in a nice safe neighborhood. Lost so many close. In may using. The. F. Word dad every time i go to treatment he had to pretty much any new clothes he. Got so good its like going to the store and getting like Womens Clothing like the ladies at the store knew when they go she need more clothes you know my dad. Found this neighborhood for us he thought it would be a good place to start a family without her dad we would not be here now but thats what it takes it takes a village or. More really starts. This is for oh the culture here were. About ready were getting there so theyre actually and in the end he is and. Since i was a baby my mom got does theyre collectors items now i guess my dad sees her for like all these years and then gave them to me for lizzie oh. Oh oh. We are at. Terry in the highlands where. We come every morning of course for pride to do his thing but we also visit. A number of our misfit. In this place is. Fairly planted with. Tom was 36 is actually one of the institutes very 1st volunteers and staff people just tremendously creative spirit really a beautiful person to look like a viking. 36 he was. Seth apple also used to rent a room from right now while recovering from his addictions he was adopted by luntz and carol apple pious financially stable and seemingly prosperous in every sense a good christian couple. We. It was 18 days that our son has passed away he died on. November 12th. I got the call at. 8 36 in the morning this. Particular addiction to alcohol was an issue for him but. Its called. And they also the street is poor it is called robo tripping robitussin. What he would do is he would drink several bottles of it and it would cause a whole effect and thats what he was going on. I mean he. Pretty much with using drugs for about 12 years he did have some very stringent rules. That. No heroin you know he said those dont mess with those so he really we believe he thinks thought he had a handle on this that he was using it properly and he was not quite. Willing to give it up. So. Far. Well we had lets see a little was the best i know them are 6155 pm so this isnt my 1st child its coreys 1st child my 1st child was adopted. By a major fusing family does say that it was the best option and you know my cousins ended up adopting her. But the 1st time was just it was a mass you know i was trying to understand sobriety and then trying to become a mother at the same time and it fundamentally didnt work. We 1st met our protagonists in june 29th teen and for the last time in february 2020 during that time the rehab center where things worked closed down lapsed and started using it again. Then he completed a one months calls at a rehab clinic and found a job now he delivers heavy white goods like fridges and washing machines he gets up at 5 am every day and mostly lives in hotels because he has to travel a lot for his work he says hes making more than ever before and feels happily selfsufficient his dream is to save enough by the end of the yet to rent premises for his own house so he can start helping other people again. The most pointing in the recovery man dont lose yourself trying to help other people find themselves obviously everybody wants to help everybody the epidemic is ridiculous out there take care yourself before you take care somebody else you know you know getting nobody else if youre poor from an empty cup you cant transmit something you dont have. Running a household 14 guys and every time i would get down every time i would hurt every time i would feel pain i would go find one of the guys in the house and see what they needed done because you get a good feeling when you help somebody else problem is you cant use that as a substitute instead of me going out shooting dope when i feel like i was going to grammas somebody else and helping them and its the same thing you know if i dont base to problem in the problems maybe theres just put a bandaid on it because when that stuff goes away just like the drugs you dont get sick so you know i was using you guys as my drugs so i actually i had relapsed in my head a long time before i would put drugs. Is its a process starts and mentally. Emotionally by the time you get to the physical part is just simply picking back up 70 percent of. Every day rain or Something Like that it takes a heroin addict i am less tines if they dont die. If you add up every Treatment Center ive been in since i started on my journey in recovery and then the relapse and then back and are having in the area apps and etc ive spent. Close to 3 years in programs and thats not counting time that i spent in sober living you know but every time i went you know it planted the seed and it made i made more connections it wasnt all for not you know because im sitting here and im alive and i am giving back to the community of that day used to be a burden not. Completed her studies at the Recovery Coach Academy founded by reno. 2022 years since she stopped using more than 10 years ago she went to college to become a social worker. Wants to use knowledge and experience to help addicts to break the vicious cycle and claim back. They have this false belief that the streets care about them and those people support them that are out on the street but if they get some support over here you know you can introduce them to like a better way of living slowly no its not going to be fast and its not going to you know but maybe they will one day you know maybe they wont desolate the saddest thing about this field is youre going to watch people die and youre going to watch them kill them so. The colegrove also completed her recovery Coach Training a little earlier but she hasnt started working yet she wants to get her life back on track so now devotes all of her attention to children. You know i my children i have 4 kids with 3 different dads my 1st daughters father harm him who are 5 and 4 their dad is about alcoholic and hes clean right now but. Last kid that i had his day out is an active addiction still to this day. So chances are one out of 4 of my kids will be an addict at least if i live the right way and show them how to live instead of tell them how to live their lives my job i can only lead by example and if they choose the opposite way thats ok ill be here for that i wont enable that but i will be there for them. Just a couple of news items is anyone following whats happening in Franklin County this week 28 deaths in 10 days again thats 28 deaths in one county in the past 10 days. Continues to help rehabilitate former drug users and educate others he believes that individual coaching is the best solution. Other teachers at the academy see addiction as an illness and not just a sickness of the mind and body but an affliction of the spirit and thats what gets in the way for many who are trying to escape drug dependency they dont have the strength of spirit or higher goals to face but they can succeed. Again i think its important to note that its not an Opioid Epidemic i mean perhaps ultimately its an epidemic of spirit its the fact that weve become so disconnected soul bereft of spirit and community. Moving forward now a lot of you. Youre all going to be working in wildly different capacities please know you are the tip of the spear of the recovery revolution. You know people talk about a recession but actually theres a respect that the globe is heading into a depression thats right the pressure that day were. Odd no 2. No shots no. Action. Well its true no 1st. Point ch your thirst for action. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision little shot change lives every day and came to a complete. The day that i was right to be instructed you know told to shut up or theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life and he screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birth ink area if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen it from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended i had an almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is some plan is sheer power and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whethe
