Morris had kicked off his career with World Of Warcraft, and then landed an extremely successful career as a streamer on Twitch. At the present age of 27, he opened up about how he relied on his addiction to fuel his streaming career. He further went ahead to explain that, much of his energy came from only one thing-Adderall, the amphetamine and dextroamphetamine drug, and there were days where he would “just not sleep, just not eat”.

“I built my life around Adderall,” he admitted. He added, “I would take (Adderall) while I was streaming, always, every day. And when you take it, hyper-fixating is the biggest factor. I remember one really bad stream, I sat there organizing my desktop icons for three hours. It was the worst stream, I think, I’ve ever done. It just got so bad… I had to stop.”
The addiction got him into a harmful loop where he had lost his appetite and sleep and struggled to lead a normal life. It was a crazy and difficult time for him. Morris continued, “So I was up twenty-four hours, constantly. Not eating. Not sleeping. Even when I did sleep, I’d wake up from these half-assed Adderall sleeps, really garbage sleeps, and I’d wake up malnourished, really tired, and I’d have to go live, so I’d take another Adderall so I could get through and stream.”
“I didn’t even feel like a normal human,” the Twitch star added. “In hindsight, I should have, you know, done things differently, but I’d built my life around this.”
Sodapoppin who is no longer trapped under the addiction said he slowly recovered from one of the worst phases of his life. He let his past out in front of the world to not only share his story but also educate people about addiction and its related ill effects. Moreover, his story can inspire others to stop drug abuse.
