I'm actually really proud of this young man...for the fact that he has "messed up" here and there and pulled himself back out. Seriously, look at his apartment...very tidy looking and has taken in the little dogs and apparently a cat as well. I understand he's on methadone, still he appears to be putting in the effort to live an honorable life and continues to strive for a better life/relationship with his son.

[@sneksteppy]

Yikes, let's dissect this. 1. You put quotation marks around "messed up" as though being a drug addicted underemployed bum is just a quirk most people have. 2. "here and there". Again, downplaying his collosal failure. He didn't mess up here and there, his entire life was him messing up. 2. "very tidy" BRUUUH he has clutter all over the place. 3. "two dogs and a cat" He's too poor to make ends meet, but in your eyes, he is amazing for adding more expenses to his list for taking in pets. 🤦 4. "honorable life" There is no honor in using drugs and taking handouts. You're clearly from the trailer park and you obviously have no frame of reference for what an actual honorable person looks like.

​@@collenkaufmann8203 the title of big sup's video is misleading, I know you pay the rent :) when I met my hubby he didn't tell me he was in recovery until he hit a setback, we got him on methadone & it helped him function like a typical adult. We bought a house, had kids, relocated from NJ to FL. He transitioned to Suboxone & may be on it forever 🤷, he handles his responsibilities and is stronger than most men I know. His past built an amazing, gracious dad, hubby & employee. If you have to be on maintenance longer --- who cares! Do what you have to do to be the best dad & man possible! I hope you find a living, supportive partner eventually too. Prayers!!

Bro coming from experience....do not drop your dose or try to get off methadone until your life/job/living/relationships situations are SOLID AF. This is somethi g a lot of new ppl on methadone want to do because you feel good again and feel like you can be yourself again. Just get everything else rock solid, and rock solid for a long period of time b4 u even think about dropping ur dose. U need to be in such a good secure place to do this, its going to affect you no matter what man, please dont lose all u have gained. Give it time brother.
