O bodybuilder και επιχειρηματίας Joey Swoll παραδέχεται τον εθισμό του στα παυσίπονα, δεν μπορεί χωρίς αυτά, ενώ παραδέχεται πως ακολουθεί και την χασικλίδικη – οπιοειδή υποκουλτούρα.
2020 has been the WORST year of my life in every way and for most of it I was heavily addicted to pain killers and opioids.

Ο Joey Swoll απογυμνώνει το επιτηδευμένο life style στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης, επισημαίνοντας πως η εικόνα των επιτυχημένων ανθρώπων όπου όλα τους πηγαίνουν καλά, δεν είναι αληθινή. Everyone always assumes “popular” people on social media have such amazing lives and never struggle Ο bodybuilder Joey Swoll νιώθει μοναξιά και πάσχει από κατάθλιψη νιώθοντας ως να είναι σε μια φυλακή, αλλά το παλεύει, δινοντας ένα μήνυμα αισιοδοξίας σε όσους αντιμετωπίζουν παρεμφερή προβλήματα.

I’m not posting this for sympathy or pity. I am responsible and accountable. I fucked up. I should have made better decisions. I should have been stronger. Being lonely and depressed is so hard to beat. I know many of you out there are fighting the same battle and in the same prison as I was and I want you to know YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Be strong.

This post will probably cost me some friends, some sponsorships and companies who want to work with me, maybe some followers, but I need to be honest and real so fuck it. This is what withdrawal looks like, insomnia while laying in a pool of sweat yet freezing and shaking horribly in pain wishing and praying it simply would just end. Minutes are like hours. Hours like days. I’ve never battled anything harder. 2020 has been the WORST year of my life in every way and for most of it I was heavily addicted to pain killers and opioids. I have never been more depressed in my life. I lost everything that mattered most to me. Everyone always assumes “popular” people on social media have such amazing lives and never struggle. I always get messages from people saying how much they love my positivity and how happy I always am. Like Robin Williams once said, “I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy. Because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anybody else to feel like that.” This is the truth. I’m always taking care of others, making them happy, yet always feeling unloved and worthless. This year I needed someone to talk to, for once to be there for me at my lowest, but I had NO ONE. I reached out to people I thought were loyal and like family only to be ignored and hear excuses why they’re too busy. I just wanted someone to talk to, someone to listen, someone to tell me it’s going to be ok. All I had instead was a big empty apartment with some pills to make the pain go away for awhile. Being addicted to pain killers felt like I was in prison and NEVER getting out. Twice I almost ended it because I just didn’t want to live anymore. The only thing that saved me was hearing my Mom cry to me on the phone knowing something was wrong. Funny how mothers always know. I’m not posting this for sympathy or pity. I am responsible and accountable. I fucked up. I should have made better decisions. I should have been stronger. Being lonely and depressed is so hard to beat. I know many of you out there are fighting the same battle and in the same prison as I was and I want you to know YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Be strong.
