Intervention: MULTIPLE Overdoses Can't Stop Peter's EXTREME Fentanyl Addiction | A&E

Wait you’re telling me he started taking drugs to avoid college/medical school 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ chile

whats the update, hope he is still sober

why the chapters r so shorts?

“I distanced myself from him when I realized just how bad his addiction was” that is the worst possible thing you could do lol.

2 g Fentanyl a day??? I used to be really addicted for over 2 years, "only" used orally about 1.5 g of clean oxy or up to 3 g morphine a day. later i changed to Protonitazene which is about as potent or slightly more potent than Fentanyl, but I snorted, never more than 20 or 30 mg. Can't imagine how one can look still as decent and behave so coherent on 2000 mg Fentanyl a day. Wish you all the best. I consider(ed) myself pretty deep into addiction, but I could get clean thanks to my gf and familiy. I see you have a strong support group, Peter you can get clean too, it doesn't matter how deep in you are, there's always a way!

edit: i watched until end now. big congrats on getting clean! i hope you have a bright, drug-free future ahead of you.

xoxo

Some of these people on this show have ten times the potential I do. I hope they got through their dark times and are doing great for themselves. They got families that love them, wish for their success, don't hate on them and their choices.

Where does he get all this money to buy dr*gs? That’s insane, 2k per weeks😱!

‘A day?’ 😂

Good for you Peter. It's given me hope that maybe my friends can stop using this killer drug. Stay strong.

I pray for him to see the light but honestly the whole music industry is a NO NO for me! Especially for someone like Peter who’s got addiction!

2 grams of fentanyl per day. I haven't finished processing that thought yet

I know it’s difficult! But try to keep going! 🙏🙏🙏

rooting for peter!!

This made me cry. Beautiful.

I live in a country where drug isn't really a major problem. It just amazes me to see how drug messed up America.

Dudes getting severely ripped off haha

Peter's mom sounds like she take Xanax

Condom

HOW WAS THIS DUDE ALIVE???????????

I wish sobriety rehabs were longer then 90 days and affordable or maybe they were made mandatory in jail

As a fellow music lover and occasional musician suffering from my own type of addiction, I was so happy knowing his sobriety started on my Birthday <3 GREAT JOB PETER

I know I’m supposed to care about him overcoming addiction, and I do, but all I can think about is how gorgeous he is. 😍

Mother sounds like Kourtney Kardashian.

"We have all great expectations" says every parent who blames the child for the addiction.

No child should ever be expected to be head of household. PERIOD.

$2100 a week????? Where the f does he get that money??? I don’t even earn that much in 2 weeks 😂

I hope that Peter is still sober and doing well. I'm a group home supervisor and have a bachelors degree in social work. There is an individual at our home struggling from addiction. I participated in a training today called "Addiction 101." A man shared his story of addiction, how he got clean and sober, and how he went on to get his PhD to help others. He explained how difficult it is to stay clean and sober because of how drugs flood the D2 Dopamine receptors in the brain, which give a person that "feel good feeling" when they are high. After being addicted for so long, drugs deplete a person's dopamine, and they need to continue using to feel good, sometimes increasing their use depending on their tolerance level that their brain and body have built. He explained that when a person is in rehab for 28-30 days, they have access to a bunch of services and support: therapy/groups, food/nutrition, a place to sleep, shower, and wash their clothes, discussion of educational/vocational services, etc. He explained that when a person exits rehab , they often lose a lot of the support and services that they were receiving. Meanwhile, the brain is still in the recovery and healing process, as it takes awhile to rebuild dopamine. For instance, he was explaining that when a person is healing from meth addiction, it can take 18-24 months for a person's brain to totally heal and be able to produce enough of the dopamine to feel well. He stated that during recovery, when the person's brain is prone to depression, the person will often relapse due to the lack of dopamine in the brain. He said that it's not that people don't want to stay clean and sober, it's the lack of dopamine that a person has right after rehab that causes the person to relapse. I always thought that harm reduction--providing people with clean needles, Narcan, etc. was kind of stupid and that it promotes drug use. He explained that it's a form of engagement, "accepting and loving people as they are," and continuing to build a rapport with them. For many people, this can help them to take that first step to going to rehab/getting clean and sober. I get tough love, but when Peter's dad said that if he didn't go to rehab he was "turning his back on his family," I thought that was kind of harsh. I'm glad that they finally did apologize for putting so much pressure on him while he was growing up. Also, parents, do not crush your child's dreams. When my daughter was 4, I told her that she could never make a career in art. Deep down, she resented me saying that. She is very self conscious of her art. When she got to high school, I saw how creative she is and saw all her beautiful pieces of art--drawings, paintings, mixed media, etc. and apologized to her. She is an anxious person and still dealing with a lot of anxiety post-Covid. She has graduated from high school 2 yrs. ago and has not gotten her driver's license or looked into a job or college. I hope that she recovers from this.

This really shook me because not even 2 weeks ago my family was upset that I wasn’t okay with my 4 year old son going with the kids in the church. I don’t care if it bothers anyone. I will not allow him to be out of me or his dad’s sight until he’s old enough to know how to fight/ yell/run. This makes me so fxckin mad. Sucks we have to worry about this at church and schools.. everywhere. Don’t trust anyone with your kids.

Love the lies. Fentanyl versus carfentanyl. That is what is shown. Not defending an American synthetic opioid from the 1960s.

When the father gave him the guitar that hit me 😢my dad did the same to me when I went to rehab (:

The only reason im sober and only smoking HHC is because im broke lol

I'm so sick of all this s*** about drug addicts nobody made him do it!

El es bello

This one seems so staged now smh come in guys who u foolin lmfao clearly you are trying to build a star here

As a chef, i have to work twice as hard lately because we are so short staff. So many guys have died from fetonyl deaths.

el que nace pa' tamal, del cielo le caen las hojas

I’ve always wondered how people get started down this road. I’m way to conservative to ever go down this road. I’ve never felt the need to get high. I have other things in my life that provide me with satisfaction. Turning to drugs to “fill a void” is definitely not the way to go. It rarely ends well.

Is Peter’s father Romani/G*psy?

Hope your doing well Peter 💗
