Cycle: An Addiction Story

Sadly Ary (the one in this documentary), my cousin, passed last night at age 31 from an OD.. he tried to break the addiction. He went to rehab.. and he still lost the battle. Please don't let this be you. Please try to help those you know who are in his shoes. I am only making this announcement public in order to help people not lose their life or a loved one to this. Far too often there is not a happy ending. I really feel that Ary would not mind me sharing this.

Addicted for 35 yrs 2 yrs clean. Gratitude to those that love me and strength to those still battling active addiction

He is still my grandson, regardless. Awww lady, you’re going to heaven 💕

Lost my son to heroin addiction, I'm in agony, I miss him every day.

going on my 2nd year clean I wish the best to those who are still recovering or trying to

I was an addict for 12 years and i finally got smart and got clean. Its not easy but each addict has to really want to get clean and live a normal life again. Its all about how determined an addict is to get clean but only they can make that choice. My prayers go out to all addicts and i want it to be known that we can all break free from the disease!

I totally can relate to the beginning when he says he was addicted to the process. I'm 122 days clean now and off the streets.. Living clean is much better than all the bullshit involved in getting high.. Almost losing my arm to an infected abscess and going to jail yet again is what made me get on vivatrol. Tried methadone for 2 years and suboxone for 2 years but I abused them both and did them just because of probation. This time I'm doing it just for me. Thanks for posting

As a recovering opiate addict, I appreciate the film greatly. Thank you for caring!

PLEASE LISTEN IF YOUR YOUNG. RUN AWAY FROM ANY ONE DOING THIS SHIT. ITS MEANT TO WEED OUT THE WEAK. BREATHE OXYGEN AND DRINK WATER AND BE HAPPY

I’m so blessed to not be dead. Lord please help us recover.

Legalise it, standardise it, inform people of the dangers of what might happen, tax it and use the money to help people get off it. Take it out of the hands of the gangsters. People will always try to change their emotional state by whatever means necessary.

Respect to the cop. Your jobs are so much harder than we think.

EVERYBODY has or had a Crown Royal stash bag....wether it's weed, drugs, money, jewelry

I’m from NH, and moved about 2 years ago due to how bad the drug problem has gotten. We didn’t want our son growing up in such a small town, where you’re so highly influenced. Unfortunately, we’ve lost numerous friends to overdoses or drug related problems. I love where I’m from and will never forget my roots but there’s such a bigger world out there , and more to life than being stuck in a small town that bath salts and meth have taken over. I hope that people have the strengths and courage to say no and to help those who they love who struggle with addiction . 603 forever❤️

and my mom thought being STRAIGHT EDGE was belonging to a cult. I'M happy I found that cult...

Well done, Captain Dean!! Here is a member of law enforcement that can connect the dots...and his compassion for his community allows him to advocate for solutions!

Sad to see people struggle :(

It's so weird watching this. I haven't lived in NH in almost 10 years and have heard how bad heroin has gotten up there but it's really eye opening when you see someone you knew and hung out with in school go down this path. Hopefully you can get the help you need Ary

Almost two months clean, after 3 and a half years daily habit.
It wasn't easy at all!
. Fortunately I had gov. insurance and was able to go into hospital for detox.. Even then , it was HELL.
I'm so grateful to be free.

My condolences to Arys family. It’s a tragic to lose anyone, especially to an OD.
