How Justin Krompier Escaped Heroin Addiction and Changed His LifePhotographer and social media creator Justin Krompier "known online as Just Passin’ Through", shares his unfiltered journey from heroin addiction to long-term recovery, van life, and a career photographing some of America’s most beautiful landscapes.
Justin opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed stimulants as a child, experimenting with drugs, and developing an opioid addiction in college. He recounts the insanity of active addiction, including Xanax, Ambien, heroin, robbing dealers, being robbed at knifepoint, and trying to use crushed pills moments after a car crash.
Justin explains how a moment of clarity led him back to rehab, why surrender and a 12-step fellowship changed his life, and how he slowly rebuilt everything addiction had taken from him. After years of delivering pizzas and working for UPS, a life-changing trip to Yosemite and Big Sur inspired him to leave his job and pursue photography, travel, and van life full-time.
