UPDATE: Living with dentures 8 years later, addiction/recovery, and acceptance. (re-upload)

We need more people like this guy doing videos. He's a breath of fresh air.

Wow! Thank you, thank you for sharing your journey. I'm on one of my own. I'm about a month and a half post opp. Its not been easy. Sounds like I had a similar appointment as you all in one afternoon I had full extractions, and then immediate "upgrades" placed in my mouth , and out the door I was shoved! I'm so clueless. I went to Affordable Dentures and no-one told me what I should do so its been a tough few weeks, but I'm so so thankful. I wanted and needed this so badly I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but I truly don't regret it, I learned so much. People are so cruel and mostly out of misplaced judgement and just a lack of empathy and kindness.

I'm 11 months post-op immediate dentures. Now waiting on my permanent dentures. Best decision for myself ❤

Congratulations 🎊.... I am 32 turning 33 September 12th and I am 7weeks off methadone, still not 100% back to normal but I am pushing through.... thank you for making this video and being honest ❤

Excellent video!! So glad to hear you're doing well. You deserve to have a great life, Logan.

Props to you, leveling up is hard but it’s worth it that’s how we grow as humans. I totally relate with your thoughts on social media. You’re a smart man, keep keeping it real

This vid helps me a lot. It's like you are a future version of me telling me it's gonna be ok.. It is rare to find someone on YT who is so open and honest as you are. I subscribed. I hope you make more vids man. Have an awesome day, I wish you that genuinely from my heart bro.

You LOOK GREAT!!! I would never have known you had dentures!!! Also you are ONE OF THE GREATEST HUMANS!!! You are helping so many people by sharing your story and CONGRATULATIONS FOR being clean for 3 years!!!!!!!! That is AMAZING!!!!! Your humbleness and honesty is the best thing that you can give to others!!! God brought you thru a hardship so you can be an inspiration to so many people!! Thank you for all that you are doing and sharing with your life with us!!

Thank you for making this! After an extremely bad tooth/gum infection that normal antibiotics didn't fix recently, I'm finally getting to the place mentally where I'm accepting that it's time to get them removed. I'm hoping I can find a place that will do implants on a payment plan but worst case scenario, I'm glad to hear you say that you got used to dentures and can eat with them no problem! My biggest fear is just doing it, it's probably my 2nd biggest fear in life but I'm just going to have to take a good amount of benzos and get put to sleep or as close to it as possible and bite the bullet... Again, thank you, I needed to see and hear this more than I knew! Your teeth look great btw, makes me feel somewhat excited cuz I can see that I'll be able to get that smile back too and it'll change so much in my life for the better!

I don't know how I stumbled upon this video but I sure am glad I did! Thanks for sharing! This was so inspirational! All the best to you in the future!

ay glad to see you're back

Congratulations to you! You are a great motivational speaker.

I 100% agree about social media but this video of yours really helped me. SOOOOOO MUCH. Very brave btw. So thanks! And congrats on still being sober✌💛 Edited to add Thank you for your complete honesty and transparency. I feel less afraid now.

Congratulations ❤! Please 🙏🏾 don’t let it be stumping block. I hope you the best.🙌🏾

Kudos to your recovery success! Getting there can be quite a hurdle, so be proud of your accomplishments! The dentures look great also! I would consider dentures except I was told I couldn't be fitted comfortably with them because the roof of my mouth would need to be shaved down first to accommodate dentures if I were to lose my teeth. May peace be with you!

I'm a recovering addic from opiates as well. I've been sober since September 2014. I'm very proud of you. Keep on keeping on

Thsnk you for sharing. I enjpyed listening to your journey.

Well said and as an ex heroin addict as well who is in desperate need of dentures I agree. I've been trying to wait to be able to get permanent dentures but Its getting to the point I might have to just get what I get.

Hell Yes thanks for the update

Well done you should be proud of your self 😊
