Inside an IV Heroin User's DARK Reality in Kensington | Surviving a Headshot Su*cide Attempt

In this powerful episode of Rise Above, Kevin Lanning sits down with John Valerio, a man whose journey from suburban normalcy to addiction, crime, and near-death survival is nothing short of jaw-dropping. John opens up about how a tragic turn of events spiraled his life out of control—starting with his father’s sudden abandonment, a painkiller prescription after a quad accident, and how it all led to full-blown heroin addiction. As his need for the next fix grew, so did the chaos: robberies, gun violence, and prison time became his reality. But John's story didn’t end there. In one of the most shocking moments of his life, John survived a suicide attempt that should have killed him. Instead, it became his turning point. Now, he’s not only clean and sober but also a dedicated father, family man, and successful business owner. 00:00:00 Impact of Family Dynamics on Personal Choices 00:03:41 Overcoming Family Struggles and Reuniting with My Father 00:07:16 Struggle with Addiction in High School 00:10:52 Trust Issues and Family Dynamics 00:14:29 Gunslinger Stories: A Life on the Edge 00:17:57 Overcoming Addiction: A Journey with Suboxone 00:21:35 Experiencing Overdose and Narcan Resuscitation 00:25:00 Surreal Jail Stories: Samurai Sword Incident 00:28:25 Struggles with Heroin Addiction and Family Efforts to Quit 00:32:14 Cocaine Deals and Debt Conflicts in the Drug Trade 00:35:50 How Jail Saved My Life 00:39:16 Overcoming Addiction and Finding Purpose 00:42:54 Surviving a Near-Fatal Jaw Injury and Coma 00:46:41 Overcoming Addiction: A Personal Story of Strength 00:50:47 Journey to Sobriety: Tools and Strategies 00:54:00 Struggling with Faith and Religion 00:57:33 The Joy of Daily Happiness 🔔 Join Rise Above with Kevin Lanning to watch more content on Triumph, adversity, resilience, and inspiration:    / @riseabovewithkevin   ✅ Stay Connected To Us. 👉Instagram:   / riseabovewithkevin   👉 TikTok:   / rawithk   👉 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/riseabovewithk ✅ For Business Inquiries: [email protected] ============================= ✅ Recommended Playlists: 👉 Rise Above with Kevin: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ================================ ✅ About Rise Above with Kevin Lanning: Rise Above: Stories of Resilience with Kevin Lanning Welcome to Rise Above with Kevin Lanning, where resilience finds its voice.
