I decided to re-air this incredibly powerful episode of The Just A Mom podcast because of the meteoric rise in fentanyl addiction and deaths related to fentanyl use. Ronda’s son survived a fentanyl addiction. My conversation with Ronda is a no-holds-barred one. Her son battled an eating disorder and undiagnosed depression in high school. He found a bottle of narcotics after a family member’s surgery and took one to numb his pain—and was hooked.
Ronda recounts the moment things changed when they realized her son had been hiding a fentanyl addiction for 3 1/2 years in college, the failed rehab stent, followed by a 2.5-year successful recovery journey. On a celebratory note, Ronda’s son recently celebrated his seventh year of sobriety. Ronda’s message to parents is this: addiction can happen to anyone.
