Man Shares Harrowing Addiction Journey to Prevent Young People from Repeating His Mistakes

Iiris is sharing his personal experience with addiction in the hope of preventing others from suffering a similar fate. He emphasizes that his intention is not to shock, but to offer a crucial warning to young people. After years grappling with substance abuse, he is now focused on rebuilding his life and wants to detail his journey with complete honesty.

Iiris’s story began at 15, when what he describes as “innocent” experimentation with alcohol and new social connections tragically escalated. Several years later, he found himself in a coma following an overdose, believing he had no alternative but to end his life. Since regaining sobriety, Iiris has spoken openly about the gradual nature of his addiction.

He describes how it progressed, marked by periods of loss of consciousness and seizures, and ultimately led to a significant decline over time. “Addiction doesn’t come all at once,” he explains. “It creeps up gradually, until you realize you’ve lost yourself.”

He highlights the importance of recognizing the early signs and emphasizes that a seemingly normal young person can be vulnerable to the insidious effects of substance abuse.

Iiris’s aim is to ensure that no young person is forced to confront death in the same way he did.
