You certainly made a positive impact on one former student’s At UMASS. He wrote a very profound and personal essay about you. Keep going 🙌

Thank you, Abbie! I am grateful to have come upon this video and for you. I looked you up to see that you have built a beautiful new life. It gives me hope.

Only God can help you to win over addiction

I am 29, I need help to beat crack addiction

Those sober students really touched me i got really bad in highschool rugs were everywhere it was during the pill mill era

I loved your story man but I think what that man told you at the treatment center to call your wife and say o you’ll never contact her again and to tell your kids the morning you left that you died in a car accident. I don’t agree with the tough love BS it’s absolute garbage and doesn’t work for everyone if any especially for me as I have cptsd and I shut down. I strongly believe that as addicts we need unconditional love and not tough love. The tough love is what had a lot of us doing the absolutely insane shit we were doing. I also believe that the opposite of addiction is connection. Not pushing someone away. Much love and thanks for sharing your story man

Man dude has some sad yet powerful stories

Lost my step son will be 7 years this year to drugs he would have been just like you a great kicked the habit healer as you walked the path ..AJ tried put himself into rehab hiw many times but tge drugs won so hearbreaking but thank God for your healing for others❤❤

I am From Nepal I always Look Your Videos Sir Just For Today I am Clean🎉

He came to my school in june 2023 great man almost cried

Awesome Share Chris. Thank You Sir ~!~

I fuckin hate myself. I'm at work drunk from the night before. Idk what I did last night. My wife is mad at me. I'm afraid I might lose it all. I've said before that I'll never drink again. I'm now telling myself I'll never drink again but I know I'm lying to myself. I need help. But I don't know what to do. I hate who I become when I drink. I just don't know what to do.

Anybody here also has tinglig head sensations after alcohol detox? Did it go away? I think i also had the delerium tremens.

Over 2 months sober but still feeling like crap hope it gets better

How much you got paid for this?

Enjoy life ,it’s up to you how you end up!

😭😭😭😭😭. Thank you for sharing ❤

This video gives me chills. He’s such a good speaker. I met him awesome person!!!🎉😊

CRAZIEST THING *just* happened okay? So I was just asleep and my boyfriend was playing music to sleep to when this poem came on. I was dreaming this poem visually and it was so beautiful I woke up as soon as it was done. I could see the girl and the guy and it played out like a movie

I am opiod derivatives pills 2 times a day and librium 2 times ..I was on Alprazolam huge dose also a very weak opiod derivative and alcohol not compulsory..One thing i have noticed being an addict as usual addicts needs higher doses as the tolerance increases and it was with me before..This detox and then three months in rehab .Then relapse( This relapse i had after one after one deaths of my loved ones but its a relapse) Now unlike before my dosage is not increasing .I have not touched alcohol for past five years ..But at the end of the day its addiction since i take it daily .My health is super except me and God no one knows about this .But i want to get fully clean .I have hereditary anxiety and depression..I will recover by tappering offcourse by help of Jesus .I feel very guilty and ashamed of this habit. none of my relatives and bunch of friends are addicts.most of them don't smoke also .They even don't know the difference between heroine.brown sugar .I am thankful to God that last two years i am on the same dose unlike before.I want to get fully sober which means not even psychotropic medications prescribed by doctor...If people can get sober from these hard drugs like heroine.brown sugar .I don't know other names then i can also tapper off slowly from the 50 mg tablet of tramadol .This testament has given me that confirmation .I don't have that urge to try drugs to get high or party with friends...It haunts me because i know anything addiction is sin and i dont want to go in hell..pray for me as i pray for other addicts .God bless all addicts ..

Thanks for sharing your story godbless you and thank you for doing what you do

I m an addict too, 5days clean worst part is im a cop ,so ashamed of myself how i got into this shit.

God bless you my brother!!❤

Pain to purpose. You’re awesome!

I am only 1 day sober. I can't seem to kick my addiction as hard as I try. I am tired of making my mother sad to the point where she lays in her room crying and not talking. I feel fuckin horrible. I keep trying and failing. Working a good job and blowing every cheque on booze and drugs. I am so done and I can't stop.

What happened with his family? I meed closure.

Wait this isnt a testimony story where Jesus got you clean and changed you forever? Because thats what im looking for. ❤

I have 14 months sober from pot and 16 months sober from alcohol after 28 years of addiction!!!❤☮❤🏀

This was such a beautiful, heartbreaking and honest account of knowing we are broken. However, we are always guided to the right places and the right people at the right time. I feel very blessed to have heard your story. I love the facts that somebody could see your mother tell you that message I also am an empath and I feel things on such a strong level I don't know why I just know that it is a friend of mine was recently contemplating suicide All I could say was that I could feel his father I don't know why never met the man but I could feel him around me and I needed to tell him and he listened. I too suffer from an affliction unlike you I was always confident in my early years it wasn't till it was 29 till I started listening to other people and believing what they said. I have been battling since 1999 but I have been fighting everyday since. Your story brought me to tears with sadness understanding and hope I live right outside of Massachusetts so I love listening to your accent. You have made a difference in my day and I want to say thank you and pass it on my gratitude to you
