He’s very aware and honest with what’s going on in his life, he has the best chance to recovery. Doesn’t mean he will, but he has the part done that many will never have done. You can tell he’s a good person at heart, I hope he finds his way at some point in his life.

I’ve never commented on any of these videos. But I just want to say that I’ve watched them day-in and day-out waiting for an update from Norman. Most of SWUB’s subscribers were. And you know what, we are not disappointed. You are still alive, you are still well, and you are still fighting your fight. You did something that we couldn’t have done. You showed up after feeling defeated. I know that’s one hell of a feeling. But in Norman’s fashion, you rose to the occasion to be transparent with people who love you and who are rooting for you! Keep going Norman, we’ll be here!

[@alphas1]

Norman, touching story! You are not a failure. You are dealing with a disease, for which you are managing, not cured of. It’s important to recognize your negative feelings and emotions and learn to sit with them. Embrace them. Be patient with them. Don’t push them away and don’t view them as bad. They are thoughts, feelings. Namaste 🙏🏽!

To all of you who loved my father in law, if you didn’t know, he passed away on May 3rd 2021 peacefully in his sleep. He’s in a better place, with his mother, grandmother and the sister he spoke of in another video. His memorial service was absolutely beautiful, more than 50 people attended and said nothing but beautiful things about my father in law. His memory will continue to be alive through this channel and each and everyone of you who carry on his legacy as a strong man with so much intelligence. I’m sure he's telling the angels in Heaven how to fly through the sky and be cool like him. The family appreciates ALL of the love and support you all continue to show him on this channel.

Norman is always full of courage and strength. We can always learn something valuable from him and his wisdom is unparalleled. We are all human and struggle to a certain extent. Some struggle more than others but we should never be ashamed of our mistakes. It's important to forgive ourselves and learn from our mistakes.

[@jessicagrace4622]

When I was getting sober I was always told that relapse is a part of recovery, and that’s so true. You don’t have to start over and lose all of the progress you made; just get back up and start again where you left off. I can see you have the will to fight for yourself, and you deserve to be fought for. Hoping the best for you, Norman!

Norman, I didn’t comment before as life distracted me. Firstly, my heart goes out to you for your devastating loss of your sister. Hold onto your time you had with her, the memories of those we loose are never gone. Secondly, I want to say that I admire your direct honesty. You are human and fallible, as are we all. You are battling life and a life long addiction and it swallowed you up when you where vulnerable. I respect and have learnt so much from your insights and you have such a bright mind. I know you can fight to put one foot in the other, work on your mental health, love your family and fight this addiction. As I say, you are human and fallible, don’t be hard on yourself when the disease of addiction re-surfaces, you can fight it again and keep going. Take care and stay safe everyone 🙏🏼

[@andrewb7622]

We all love you so much Norman and I can relate. I relapsed so many times in my first couple yrs in recovery. Relapse happens to everyone, if they say they didn't they're lying. People relapse for the smallest of reasons but in your case it took a tragedy. Tragedies don't happen that often. Your one strong dude. Just keep going, every day you don't use is one day closer to freedom. One more day you get to enjoy in your right mind without the shame. You're doing good Norman and I can't wait for the next time we see you.

You can do it. I still believe in you. We all have set backs the thing is that as long as you have breath in your body you have another chance to start over. Keep going no matter what use that wherewithal you taught me about. You still have it, use it. If no one told you I love you , I do and I'm so proud of you for coming forward.

Norman seems insightful, reflective and intelligent. Hopefully this will help him to prevail and overcome his problems.

Something Jesus taught me early on is when you fall, get back up and keep walking towards Him. God bless you Norman... you're in my prayers! God is Faithful. He will finish the good work He started in you! ❤

@Jman 7 stay in the fight! We have decades of learned behavior and running to drugs to cope that we have to UNlearn... when we fall get up and run to Jesus! The power you need to overcome is found in drawing near to HIM!

Norman, you are a brilliant, intense, flawed, humble, courageous light that this world desperately needs. I believe in you.
