How Sobriety Changed My Life | Pushing Through America Tour | Day 4

[@shaineharris6998]

Sorry to fan-girl on you so hard, Chad 😂 it was great talking and skating with you. I'm grateful that I got the opportunity to let you know how your content impacted me. Wishing you the best. Keep doing the things you love and sharing with the world 🤙

[@LukeBurtonn]

Thank you for sharing your story shaine! Very inspiring, and you are incredible on that mini ramp!

Dude, thanks for sharing your story, also great skills on you and your buddies there, it's really as inspiring as Chad's.

[@18JR78]

I hope to meet Chad someday 🥲

[@MattiusFincham]

Just as Chad has become a beacon of hope, inspiration, perseverance, and determination, so have you! You too have this gift now, friend! Sick skating btw!

[@djantix1200]

You rip man!! Wishing you all the best on your path. You will inspire many.

[@Thelionatays]

Dude. All the kids growing up on Long Island near Babylon Train Station used to talk about you like you were a superhero. You skateboarded across the country. You know how hard that is? You’re a scientist on a mini ramp. Respect. You can do anything you want to. You’ve proven that to the world. All the best.

[@LukeBurtonn]

This video was so great! Thank you, Chad! I’ve been sober from alcohol for a week and a half, and you are definitely a huge inspiration. Keep it up!

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

You do a great job conveying your message in person and through your videos. We appreciate you and the journey that made you. I have skated Savannah Park a few times; my daughter went to college there. I'm glad a Vet took you to the mini ramp, which is far better than the park. Also, thanks for making time for the Vet. I am sure it meant a lot to him. Stay Rad Sir.

[@blaiseanddestroy]

Congrats on sobriety. I used to do opiates but skate boarding is the thing that got me sober. My love of skating overpowered my love of getting high. I'll be 2 years sober on feb 11th and just learned varial heels last weekend ❤

[@TimBaker369]

Congrats on getting clean/sober!

[@djantix1200]

For anyone out there thinking about or trying to quit drinking, I'm here to tell you that you can do it. Your life will improve drastically I can tell you from experience. It was the best decision I have ever made. You owe it to yourself and your family. If you need help, please reach out to a friend. Chad and Shaine in this video are living proof. You'll gain more time to spend doing the things that really make you happy and show your family that you're there for them. Having a little extra money to buy skateboards and hardware never hurts! You might even save enough to build a mini-ramp! Peace

[@sagecross82]

Savannah local, these dudes are all really good people. Shane is a ripper and an awesome guy, electric to be around. Boe has to be one of the kindest people I've ever met in my life. You met the right people

[@brianmccracken7000]

This is a great video Chad! I love how real you are! You are a regular guy just trying to do unique things no one else is doing. I love it! Keep skating and traveling!

[@hotpeac3889]

Keep up the great content love everything you do and you helped me quite smoking tobacco man keep it up lad

[@dregan23]

You've got a message of depth and weight and joy, and you keep getting better at blasting it out there. This stuff will be changing lives for years. So sick. Thank you! Hit me up if you get to Los Angeles and we'll skate.

[@boardretailersassociation5111]

Yeah, Chad!!! Keep up the positive work. You are truly a roll model. That mini ramp looks so fun too. Glad you (and the remarkable skateboarders that you encounter) are able to share your important message in such an organic and relatable way.

[@fraaad]

loved this chad. i miss savannah park and the parks up towards Bluffton and HH all the time, i would love to move back eventually but it just hasn't been in the cards yet! i'll be 3 years sober in march and i started watching your channel when you set out on the 50 tricks/states challenge. iirc you spoke about sobriety at that time and while i didn't stick until later, your words and how you carry yourself definitely had an impact on me. appreciate your content and what you do!

[@citystars1117]

Amen! I literally hated everyone and everything with zero drive I was just a piece of shit waste of a human. Sobriety changed EVERYTHING.

[@chapmanskateboards7492]

Stoked you got this reception, proof you’re on the right path 💪

[@travislohneis224]

Really good stuff man I was never a drinker but I do love skating …my grandpa was a recovering alcoholic ever since I could remember he was sober for 42 years before he passed away last February….i loved hearing his stories on how he got sober and his recovery i appreciate your story and the opportunity to help others with your KZbin man congrats on the 8 years sober

[@travislohneis224]

To add growing up knowing my grandpas stories and his journey I think helped me be aware of alcoholism, what it is and how it can not only affect you but everyone around you ….awesome skate session man

This episode was soooo good, was smiling the while time. Thanks for being such a good person!

[@JeremyC198]

Moves out of Savannah in April 24, I miss the homies out there, and especially miss the legendary Chicken Ramp!

[@heathschmidt7516]

I’m sure that it seemed like a risk the first time you mentioned sobriety on your channel!! But I’m so glad you did!!! thank you for being of service!

[@aaronkidd8072]

It was so epic watching that trip across America

[@scottlistenfelt4895]

Awesome episode now I wanna skate 🛹🤙💯 safe travels

[@himebaughchris4026]

"Another Wasted Night" by the band Gang Green comes to mind. I don't miss hangovers.

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

I have a great time watching my content back, it should inspire you, like it does others. Learn to see the good in things and not so critical. You're doing great. I atill have a hard time speaking at AA meetings and ive been going for 14 years now, Sober for 6 years.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great episode

[@JPCoovert]

dude! so glad you met brian (best dude) and got to skate the chicken ramp. hope you have a great trip!!!

[@Asanhokcrook]

Watching rite now brother 🙏 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" 1 Peter 5:8 KJV

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

🙏 ♥ Amen

[@georgepoulos]

Wouldn’t be closing in on 100 days sober if it weren’t for you Chad🙏🏼 Great video

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

I quit doing cannabis cause I feel like I was lying to my subscribers when i said i was sober, and running a recovery channel, so yeah, i can relate absolutely to this. We are led in the spirit to follow truth, anything else feels weird and foreign to me. Kind of TRUTH or BUST type of thing.

[@Skate_48]

Content is gold!

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

Recovery changes everything. Love ya brother. Keep it up! Youre inspiring many others. Would love to maybe interview u on my channel

[@Albareto_NG]

Love this video, it is truly inspiring! Keep it up!

[@jeremiahdavidtindall9339]

The Jacksonville park is sick!

[@gabriellaforce2041]

Good one! That guy was killing it!

[@PolycultureArt]

Intersting episode! Very inspiring (though my vice is niccotine). I would love to know what the trick at 16:18 is called? Im thinking halfcab to nosestall (or tail?). It looks so schmick! I really want to learn it!

[@Slivlivin]

Great video and great skating!🤙⚡️

[@auston911]

bellingaham wa or the ferndale brand new metalworks skatepark?

[@Mike_Cosentino]

Keep it up, Chad!

[@b.a375]

I wasn’t expecting that guy to be that good on that mini FairPlay dude!

[@pledg44]

I love what you do. So positive and so honest, and funny. I think you should dally with first aid on the way to PT or ambulance work. Knowing the human body would help with tricks, and first aid would help all the booboos in the skate park. PT would help with preparing to skate, dealing with injuries and avoiding them in the future. If U R a skating PT, please share.

[@jontiu1161]

I want to get sober SO bad. I’ve been trapped in a very unhealthy lifestyle that isn’t for me. Self destructive behavior is making me less productive

[@Old_man_Rob]

Odd or God/Higher power? It happened how it's supposed to be . Awesome video, content Chad!! 💯♥️🙌

[@airmagic2199]

WOOHOO 🙌

[@airmagic2199]

Just passed eight years myself!!🙏

[@brookingsbeachcomber]

YO00, chicken ramp

[@vityagreen120]

🙌

[@K1dsCanPlay2]

sobriety is all i have

[@biscuitsandpopcorn]

Being in the USA must be even harder not too have so much fun that you have to go shit…. I have to stop this or I’m gonna die of this haha

[@typerightseesight]

I was wasting $70-80 a week on wine because they legalized edibles in my state. I've turned a $10 a day thing into a $2 a day thing.
