You don't need to apologize for honesty. I think it's encouraging if you're struggling to know that other people, especially people you admire and respect, are also struggling and succeeding. Your honesty and openness are always appreciated. Thank you!

[@speely]

Honesty is a weight off the soul. Never be ashamed for bearing your crosses Johnny. Glad you are sober and healthy and that peppers or whatever you need to do to keep those spirits high. God bless ya spice man you rock!

[@ChaseTheHeat]

Thank you!!

[@kwizmo]

I truly appreciate your honesty Johnny. I personally feel the same way about spicy peppers. I’ve fought addiction most of young adult life and I didn’t want any part of it anymore but didn’t know what to do. I had been dared to try some Carolina reaper beef jerky one day and said “yolo”. The endorphin release I got after eating that instantly turned me into a chili head and I knew it was a viable option. Since then, I’ve started growing and micro-dosing myself with Carolina reapers. Peppers and your KZbin channel have been a blessing.

[@McSTUDandBoDANGLES]

I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling…hug a loved one for a few extra seconds! Spend time in the Word, too! We love you. You’re a great source of inspiration to many, including myself. I have started eating peppers this year (because of you and this bus!) and it’s been an awesome way to stave off addiction! I’ll keep you in my prayers.

[@ChaseTheHeat]

Thank you for the wonderful comment and suggestions!

Thank you for your honesty Johnny, it is so hard to find these days. As someone who has also struggled with addiction for large portion of my life, I know how hard it can get at times, so CONGRATULATIONS on getting and staying sober!🥳🥳🥳🥳 I am so happy that you found something HEALTHY that you love so much and is helping you stay sober!! Sending lots of light, love, and positive vibes!✨🩷 YOU GOT THIS!!!

[@josephhurd5828]

Johnny, I can’t imagine your struggle, but what I do know is that prayers are going up for you. I thank God that He is using peppers to help you with this. So many people have nothing or nobody to turn to with their struggles in life. You’re so blessed to have the Lord, your brother, your brothers and sisters in Christ to be there any time you need them through these difficult times. We are praying for you and will continue to. God bless you and thank you for all you do.

Hi J.S. Thank you for this video. I unsubscribed from all of my chiilie video posters on YT a few years back but you popped up in my feed because of Marmite and peanut butter. I cannot believe how good you look and even sound compared to when I followed your channel years ago. I am at rock bottom at this present time and can admit that I am "self medicating" to numb myself. But just to hear some one aknowledge that they are feeling shit too but have found a way of pushing the Devil away means so much more to me than any thing. Thank you again. x

[@midnightkitty8172]

Right on Johnny, with each attempt to go sober you get closer to success. I've been sober for around 30 years now - honestly I lost count because drinking is not a part of my life anymore. I got rid of the smoking and drinking people in my life and have been off cigs and booze for so long I forgot how disgusting both those habits are. Habits? - More like an attitude, eh? - that's what I figure. I collect cans for extra money, and merely the smell of beer in the empty cans I pick up make me feel sick. Same when I smell someone's cigarette - I have to get out of there. Hopefully you will achieve this state which you are clearly moving toward; it's healthier and happier here.

[@ChaseTheHeat]

I've been sober from hard drugs for over 15 years and alcohol free for closing in on 6 years. I don't miss that life

[@midnightkitty8172]

You know I used to enjoy this time of the year too, but now it has been turned into a joke. It's all about money: You got he day after Thanksgiving shopping nonsense, and all you see anymore is: Holiday this, and Holiday that! It's Christmas! That's the legal holiday. Don't get me wrong , I have a lot respect also for Kwanzaa, Hanuka and other observations. We can all come together with respect and dignity with out the noise.

I wish I could wake up in January to be honest. But I need to man up. It's like Captain Sparrow said, "the problem isn't the problem, the problem is my attitude about the problem". I need to better my attitdue.

[@robalid]

It's hard isn't it. I started having kefir daily. Had it every day for a month before realising I'd introduced daily alcohol back I to my life after 20 years sober. I'm fine, I don't feel it's a relapse as it wasn't a conscious decision. But I've woke the beast again and my alcohol receptors are awake again. I'm a fool for not researching it properly.

I get it; and you're my hero/ This is your therapy to cognitively restructure, negative thinking, into a positive therapeutic, and uplifting habit. This guy, developed his own cognitive therapy, and for a therapist, like myself; this is awesome! For anyone facing addiction; Believe you can overcome, develop a new, positive habit, and drive! Power lifting is my therapy. Capsicum has a myriad of therapeutic benefits; lowers blood pressure, great for pain. It has thermogenic properties, metabolic benefits, and it can keep you from relapsing.
