A Heroin Addict's SHOCKING Descent | D1 Football Full Scholarship, Prison Time, Homelessness & His Road to Recovery
Jordan was a promising D1 football recruit with full-ride offers—until a torn ACL and a bottle of painkillers changed everything.What started as surgery recovery turned into full-blown addiction: Oxy, Perc 30s, heroin, Subutex, and eventually shooting drugs with horse syringes stolen from Tractor Supply.From robbing his grandma’s wedding ring… to almost holding up a Subway sandwich shop with a butter knife… to surviving two years in state prison where he watched people overdose and even saw someone die by suicide—this is one of the rawest and most jaw-dropping stories we’ve ever heard on Rise Above.But Jordan’s story didn’t end in tragedy. After a wreck on his motorcycle, his now-wife held him accountable in ways he’d never experienced before—and he’s been clean since 2018.⚠️ Viewer discretion advised — this episode contains graphic stories of addiction, survival, prison violence, and near-death experiences.If this story moves you, please like, comment, and subscribe to help us spread the message of hope.🎙 Hosted by Kevin Lanning
