Sober at 23 from Fentanyl

Gabe was heavily addicted to substances, most specifically fentanyl. He faced many challenges in his life during his addiction, including being a solid father for his daughter. He entered rehab with some reluctance per his mother's request and did not take his recovery seriously.

This marked the start of a journey of going in and out of treatment centers, and after a few episodes, linking up with the wrong people, going to treatment for the wrong reasons, or placing people into centers to selfishly line their pockets. Gabe was majorly caught in the body-brokering game, plus overdosing quite frequently. He was hospitalized on a few occasions and was even narcanned, which probably saved his life. The good news is Gabe survived not only almost losing his life to addiction but also breaking away from the clutches of one of the largest known body brokers on the West Coast.

Gabe is now a solid father to his daughter, a son to his mother, a grandson to his grandparents, a good member of society, and most importantly, a man of recovery who wholeheartedly helps people in active addiction get their lives back.
