Fentanyl Addiction Nearly Killed Me | Overdose, Relapse & How I Got Sober

Fentanyl Addiction Nearly Killed Me | Overdose, Relapse & How I Got Sober

In this deeply honest episode of Rise Above, Brianna Sirlin shares her unfiltered journey through addiction, relapse, and recovery during the height of the opioid epidemic. Growing up on Long Island, Brianna’s story didn’t start with trauma on the surface — it started with insecurity, anxiety, and the need to feel “enough.” What began with alcohol, weed, Xanax, and Adderall quickly escalated into painkillers, oxy, fentanyl, and years of chaos that included drug dealing, being robbed, multiple rehabs, overdoses, and near-death experiences. In this episode, Brianna opens up about: Her first exposure to substances in middle school Boarding schools, wilderness programs, and resentment Discovering opiates and the moment everything changed Suboxone withdrawal and repeated relapse cycles Overdosing, fentanyl use, and isolation in Los Angeles Finding recovery through AA, faith, and taking suggestions How sobriety reshaped her identity, career, and purpose Working in recovery and helping others today This conversation is raw, emotional, and hopeful — a reminder that no matter how deep addiction goes, recovery is possible. If you or someone you love is struggling, this episode may help you feel less alone. #BriannaSirlin #AddictionRecovery #FentanylCrisis #OpiateAddiction #OpioidEpidemic #SobrietyJourney #RecoveryPodcast #RelapseAndRecovery #AARecovery #FaithInRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #RiseAbovePodcast #LongIsland #WomensRecovery #AddictionAwareness Learn more about your ad choices.
