Scrolling Through Life

Chris Thompson/ Overocoming an Opiate addiction in Special Forces


Listen Later

Chris sits down with me and explains how a catastrophic combat injury led to a series of surgeries and eventually an amputation to his fingers. With the injuries, Percocet was introduced to Chris’s life and would end up taking over his entire life. Eventually, at his peak, he was taking approximately 150mg of Percocet, and when that did not fix things he moved on to heroin since it was cheaper to purchase.

Chris also talks about how going to treatment was a saving grace and is now 3 years sober of all substances and occasionally speaks to others going through outpatient treatment.
