OxyContin Turned My Life Into a Nightmare | A Survivor’s Shocking Story
Manage episode 516933764 series 3554346
At 17, Jerry thought he’d found a party drug that made him feel unstoppable.
OxyContin. The blue 160s. The Florida pill mill days. He had no idea what was coming next.
Within years, addiction took over his life — and just when he thought he’d escaped it, a motorcycle crash left him literally cut in half.
Doctors said he wouldn’t survive. He flatlined three times. Sixty-eight surgeries later, Jerry is still here to tell the story.
In this shocking interview, Jerry reveals:
What life was really like inside Florida’s pill-mill scene
How OxyContin destroyed an entire generation
The crash that tore his body apart — and how he forgave the woman who caused it
What he saw when he died — and the spiritual moment that brought him back
This is one of the wildest, most powerful stories ever told on Rise Above.
