Hey man same since I started at 18 I'm 23 now went to rehab twice but long story short no one really knows what those group sessions do to you and how it can change your life. Relapses in most cases will happen it happened to me 6 months ago but I just kept fighting through it and I realized self isolation is not a full proof plan to sobriety you gotta get people around you who truly support you. I was lucky enough to have friends who cared about me but also cut off a lot of kids who were terrible influences on me. Glad you made it through Justin I remember seeing people leave days after coming into rehab just because they think that they cant let go. For guys or at least for me you dont ever wanna show weakness or vulnerability but we are all human beings and we got emotions that we need to share with others. Without at least trying to continue to better yourself is beating the insurmountable. Keep it going bro and lets get some more fuckin dubs baby #Greenwall NO MORE 0-3 3-0s ONLY NOW BOYYY haha.

Personally don’t really like talking about my struggles much at all, but watching this, hearing nick reflect made me so the same, realising all the bad habits I’ve developed, realising how much I was abusing drugs and how many things were insanely unhealthy about my life and lifestyle. Admittedly, I watched this last year in October and within a week had started going to meetings, properly reflecting and talking about past trauma and such. So I gotta say, nick, fucking thank you man! Your story helped me change my story, and I have the utmost respect for you and your story. Happy to see you have improved yourself! It’s been almost a year since this was posted, I kinda wanna see a year in review for you, I wanna know where you’re at now in comparison to then!

I have now been sober since February 29th 2016, I know that I will never not be an addict at heart. But I do know that I can keep a hold on my addiction as long as a stay connected mentally with how bad it really was back then and that I made a promise to myself that day that I would never revisit that lifestyle again. Stay focused Maniac, and keep sharing your experience, It will only push us farther into our sobriety!

I definitely got choked up watching this, I quit drinking a couple years ago and quit smoking pot on Christmas and it's never until after you get it done that you realize the support you have in your friends and family. The fear of being a burden is so much in your head and the respect your friends and family have for you as a person to not want to control you is the biggest thing stopping people, I feel like. Once you display an urge to change for you, the support and love that comes along with that is seemingly unwavering. I hope for the best for you guys and it only goes up from here. Good luck and congratulations for making such large strides to better your life and situation.

I’ve been there brother. I had to go to rehab for alcohol a couple times. It’s not easy going to rehab. I struggled to stay there but I made it through and you did it too. Proud of you for getting clean. Stay strong brother 🙏🙏🙏

@@juliusp6297 Nah they just kicked him and told him to gtfo you're actin too crazy. Hecz is the goat for taking niac to rehab and ensuring his sobriety. Banks and that crew are pieces of shit in a lot of ways but not bein there for rain and allowing him to do all those fuckin drugs all the time is just sad. they watched him do it daily and then kicked him when it got out of hand probably a bit after. Cold blooded

I myself am almost 3 years sober from a pill addiction and from my experience all it takes is 1 person to support you in the journey to sobriety and YES everyone can be sober! Putting in the work and effort to better yourself is the greatest feeling! I am VERY proud of your Nick! Thank you for an immaculate video Roger, you sir are an artist!

This was such a good video personally I have not dealt with these issues but currently I suffer with panic attacks due to my anxiety how I overthink things put myself down and shit like that and it helps watching this video and watching the OpTic videos seeing a family who would do anything for another family member and understanding is something many of us don't have some might have people who are older than them like a parent who is from a different time and generation not knowing what these things can do to people and how to help them and i just wanna say Congrats Maniac and everyone for helping him and thank you for making videos to help people forget about the world for a while
