June 19, 2015 I had to have my right arm amputated . I had been shooting m**h for about 5 years at that time. I’ll never know whether I was given bad dope( possibly being used as a Guinea pig by a new dealer to see if he could get by with selling it) I didn’t stay sober after losing my arm but March 3 , 2017 I made a decision to change . I was so broken and just tired . I now have over 5 years clean and I have worked in a drug rehab and a court ordered residential treatment center since getting clean. I’ve gotten married to an amazing man and reunited with my children and even bought a house. All the glory goes to God. He pulled me out of the fire!

This is Misty Loman. She was "internet famous" for her m**h progression mugshots. You have probably seen the post to the left. What you didn’t see is the story behind this person. Misty was diagnosed with bone cancer, lupus, and scleroderma (hardening of the skin). Then three of her kids died. Which was ultimately her reason for turning to drugs in the first place. What hasn't been shown is the picture on the right. This woman, despite being mocked mercilessly online, in all her struggle, has now been in recovery for almost 3 years! If she can fight this battle, there is no reason we can't!

I died wearing psych ward socks on my kitchen floor, surrounded by trash and syringes. Had it not been for the police officer that took this photo, EMT’s, and multiple doses of Narcan, my story would have ended right here.

I had just left the hospital for another drug related incident. You can see the hospital bands still on my arm. I walked out of that hospital against medical advice obsessing about one thing — getting high. You see, I’m the type of guy who can’t go ten seconds without thinking about drugs when I don’t have another solution in my life. And I’ll chase that thought right up to the brink of death and insanity.

So if you’re reading this and you or a loved one use like I used, don’t give up. It may seem hopeless, but I assure you that it’s not. If you know someone who thinks it’s time to give up, show them this photo. Let them read this. And pay close attention to this next part.

Today, I am a sober and responsible member of society. I am a dependable family member and friend. I maintain and run some of the largest addiction blogs on the internet. I work in the field of substance use disorder treatment. I travel the country speaking about addiction. I’ve worked with The New York Times and several other major media organizations shaping stories that change the narrative surrounding addiction in America. I work with activists and harm reduction groups making sure people have access to life-saving measures. And I almost died alone on my kitchen floor — wearing psych ward socks surrounded by trash and syringes.

If you’re struggling and thinking of using, relapsing.. please don’t. It will NOT fix anything. It won’t even mask the pain, not even for a second. I’m speaking from personal experience.

If you’re thinking about harming yourself, please don’t do it. Feelings pass, it’s inevitable. A lot easier said than done, I know… but you’re worthy and deserve so much more than you think.

Give yourself a chance. It sounds so lame but it’s true. Too many people make permanent decisions based off of temporary feelings. Close your eyes, breathe, and try to find one thing to be grateful for ❤️
