Graham Reid was living a double life.

What started with pills and partying quickly turned into a full-blown opiate addiction — smoking 30s, chasing dealers, and doing whatever it took to not get sick.

At his lowest point, he burned his dealer with fake money and lost everything.

From fentanyl and heroin to brutal detox and multiple failed attempts at getting clean, Graham shares what addiction really looks like behind closed doors.

In this episode, he opens up about:

Getting hooked on opiates
The moment everything spiraled
Living as a “functional” addict
The reality of withdrawal and detox
What finally helped him get sober

This is the side of addiction most people don’t see.
