Israel Oxy Detox: My Accidental Addiction Story #shorts

Well, it's called the West Bank, and is and he used to prescribe me some Oxy's cuz I tore my knee and my buddies were you know, we're like you should try them and the next thing I knew I was detoxing on my rabbi's floor in the middle of Jerusalem not knowing what it even meant, you know, at the end of the year and um >> Not knowing that you were getting addicted to a substance and not knowing that it was going to require such like a painful process of detox. >> Oh yeah, and and really not even knowing while I was going through it that that was required. I just thought I was sick, you know, it just didn't make sense. I was young. I was in good shape. It didn't detox it more felt like I had a bad virus, you know, it was just and then when I moved back to Miami and I had a young lady that worked with us who had cystic fibrosis and she would be prescribed from these pill mills these giant Oxycontin bottles and knowing what you know, knowing how I enjoyed my year in Israel and there was like this disconnection, you know, one of my favorite guys I've ever worked with and in many ways loves the phrase you know, addiction is the opposite of connection. >> Right. >> And recovery is connection and not knowing that's what I searched for my whole life. That uncomfortableness that I felt throughout my whole life was the yearning for that.
