Six Years Sober! Victory Over the Lies that Stopped Me From Living

[@AustinBurke]

Huge accomplishment my friend. Appreciate you sharing this.

[@AhmadAneeq]

I kinda had a feeling that u would comment on this video

[@themarvelanddcmarshlands]

@MrBoxing360-Don’t try and start drama here, show some respect

[@BigTonyRockets]

@@MrBoxing360 is that some sort of trick question I don't get it?

[@themarvelanddcmarshlands]

@MrBoxing360-You're publicly asking a large KZbinr what a woman is in the comment section of someone trying to celebrate 6 years being sober

[@BigTonyRockets]

@@MrBoxing360 tell you what? What a woman is? Its a woman lol I don't get what you are trying to ask here

[@TanmanC]

So sorry to hear that you lost your father to alcoholism, Sean. That’s very tough, I can’t imagine how hard that’s been. Just know that he’s proud of you of the great person you’ve become

[@georgefilmanimation]

Congratulations Sean, My Grandfather struggled with alcohol and it made his life miserable, he drank until he got into a car accident. He was paralyzed and learned that he was never really saved. He spent the next years of his life preaching in prisons, Worshiping Jesus with his musical abilities, and repairing his broken relationships. He said that God put him on his back so that he would finally look up at him. He passed due do illness in 2017, I miss him, but his story still inspires me. Your story also inspires me, thanks for making these videos, they've opened my eyes to what could happen.

[@mattjacobsen4378]

I love Sean cuz he’s real, I do not know if he knows but him putting out this video is helping a lot of people in similar positions.

[@SeanChandlerTalksAbout]

When I first started putting these videos out, I really didn’t know what would come of it. But every time I tell my story I got a bunch of DMs from people who appreciated. More recently when I’ve done my fan meet ups, every time someone comes up to me talks about these specific videos. At megacon 2 weeks ago someone asked up to me and told me they played my story at a recovery meeting. That’s great to hear every time.

[@EZZKLL]

@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout Hey Sean! Love your content and your story! Love hearing your connection to Youth Ministry! I myself am currently going to college for Youth Ministry, and so could you give me any advice you have on YM?? Again keep doing what you are doing brother, I appreciate what you do and who you are so much!

[@Stefan_Gerards]

Sean’s a real one for sure. i’ll be 3 years sober this Christmas coming so hearing Sean talk about being sober every June really motivates me and tells me that i can keep going, that i’m not alone. sobriety really is so worth it!

[@Xayjohns]

@@Stefan_Gerards Congratulations man!

[@nicolassmith7241]

Congratulations Sean. Same for me, I used to do drugs and as of May 7th of this year, I am seven years sober. It was a conscious decision for me to get sober after coming home night after night high and drunk and one day, my mother calls me a druggie and my sister looked at me wondering if I was going to be ok. It was tempting to get high again but I always remembered the worried face of my sister when I felt that urge and eventually, I just didn't want to do it anymore. I am happy for you Sean. I hope for many more years sober for you.

[@justemrys]

We're all here for you Sean. Remember that no matter what life throws at you, you've got 224k people supporting you

[@padraigdoyle9262]

Congrats Sean, six years is some going. God Bless.

[@codyhazley7013]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@Movandfil]

Great story. Reminds me of a quote I love: “Don’t be ashamed to need help. Like a soldier storming a wall, you have a mission to accomplish. And if you’ve been wounded and need a comrade to pull you up? So what?” - Marcus Aurelius

[@moviesandmusic5055]

My Favorite Film critic. Slightly ahead of Austin Burke....Both amazing though. Way to go Sean 💯💯💯

[@josephcurtisyt]

CONGRATS! God has you. Your testimony is incredible. This story reminds me that everything in life has a purpose. Thank you!

[@seanyonthemic]

God’s saved you and given you a second chance. He’s also given a platform to share wonderful testimony and how you’ve overcome this struggle. Love hearing your story :)

[@scaressell6880]

Congrats on 6 years Sean !!!

[@briishbananabread]

You should be proud of yourself 👍

[@chaserseven2886]

I'm glad that everything worked out for you

[@kingkatoonko2207]

Long time fan here. Really appreciate you and respect you Sean. Congrats on 6 years sober 🎉

[@Jay-Zech]

It’s awesome to hear how you overcame such a terrible struggle. Six years is a great achievement, and I’m sure you can make it 60+ more!

[@TreFKennedy]

6 strong years too, respect Sean

[@DariMan001]

This is extremely interesting. You're an amazing youtuber. Edit: Came here out of curiosity, got a little sermon. Surprisingly good use of time.

[@72nyyfan]

I absolutely love that you take the time and use of this platform to speak about your faith. Also the fact that you didn't shy away from saying Jesus. I applaud you and because of that I actually subscribed.

[@mikeoxmaul837]

Wow so you’re that cool youth pastor Andrew mentioned in NWH! But in all seriousness your story is very touching.

[@noahkelly4071]

Sean, I was on my way home from work listening to this, on the edge of my seat around the 14-minute mark saying “talk about God, talk about God!” and I felt the pleasure of Father over you as I erupted into rambunctious cheers and hoots and hollerings, when it felt like God cheered loudly through my voice, *Let’s go! I’m so proud of you, Sean!* Thank you for sharing this my man, what a nugget of hope this is for those struggling with whatever it may be, even if it’s just one lie. God bless you!

[@coltenscorner1]

Wow already. That’s fantastic. Congratulations Sean.

[@ajtaylor8750]

I know we've never met, but as a long-time subscriber to the channel I love when this anniversary comes around because it seems like we've been on this journey with you. Love seeing you conquer that demon and be the best version of yourself year after year Sean. Keep it going my friend and here's to more reviews and cool videos! 🙏

[@HarCoolReviews]

Sean, I am so proud of you. The fact that you went from a alcohol addict to being one of my favourite movie critics, if not my favourite. That’s a enormous accomplishment!

[@Blondiegirl2021]

Congratulations on six years sober! God bless you ♥️

[@KaneColin]

I’ve been sober since March 2020. I know how hard that can be. Glad you’re doing good.

[@philipb7400]

Thank you for making your story public. So many people need to hear this message. God Bless you Sean! You are an amazing person and content creator! As a Christian, I’ve been struggling a lot because I just keep on sinning and thinking like I can save myself and this video came and was a complete blessing.

[@swarley6587]

Hope sean knows that every one of his viewers are proud and inspired by him

[@ArjunTalksMovies]

That is an incredible accomplishment! You’ve inspired so many people including me with your story and it’s wonderful how you are able to do what you love as your job. Congratulations on 6 years and I wish you the best! Also, thank you so much for sharing your story, not many people do that and the fact that you feel comfortable about sharing it with your viewers is just beautiful.

[@DanielSteel1999]

[@noaholson9047]

[@alexhuggard56]

Congratulations!!!! That is a huge milestone and it is an incredibly hard and impressive journey that you’ve been on!!!

[@sauljamesjenkins2594]

Congratulations sean!!!!

[@josephdefilippis07]

Thank you Sean for sharing this! I'm 21 years old and lost my father last week due to alcoholism. Thank you for showing this real side of you.

[@TanmanC]

I appreciate you sharing this story. Personally, I don’t drink, but I think most people can relate to the problem with addiction, so thank you for sharing ❤️

[@maxreviews6179]

Sean, whenever you do this video each year it just makes me appreciate you and your channel even more, not just because you overcame your addiction, but that you ADMIT it openly to you audience each year. Just another reason you my favorite youtuber, thanks for inspiring me

[@stevenbaker107]

Congratulations on everything. I love you. How are you doing?

[@TanmanC]

Congratulations Sean!! Very proud of you and you are an inspiration to many!!❤️

[@WarrenVanWyck15]

Really proud of you, Sean! Overcoming alcoholism is no small feat. It's great to hear that you were able to identify and overcome your problem. Keep it up! So glad that you were willing to ask for help when you needed it.

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

CONGRATULATIONS man. Amazing accomplishment.

[@pretzelman945]

I think that this story is absolutely incredible. You went through so much and discovered so much about yourself in that process. I admire you for that, and for being able to share it with as such a large audience as you have. Been watching for 4 years, I absolutely love all of your content and I never get tired of hearing your incredible journey.

[@jamesg8175]

Damn the years fly by, I watch these annual updates each yr. very inspiring

[@nikkiblack2175]

I know this isn’t easy to talk about but I am so grateful that you are. I will leave it at that. Congratulations on 6 years and an awesome KZbin channel!

[@justthinkingoutloud2538]

Great video to upload on Sunday! This was incredibly inspiring, thank you for putting this out! I never went through anything quite as bad as your alcoholism, but I had to learn all those same lessons myself the hard way, and my religion, my faith in Christ was what gave me a reason to do what I had to to overcome, so thank you for not being afraid to acknowledge that part of your story!

[@RankingTheMouse]

Just an incredible story to hear, Sean. Really encouraging for everyone to hear, but especially us Believers that struggle with addiction. Thank you so, so much

[@Xayjohns]

Congratulations on six years of sobriety, Sean. God bless you and I pray many more for you.

[@kendrickawesomeness]

I love hearing the story of this journey every year, always look forward to this video!

[@michaelevans9675]

I’m in ministry too. I had no idea you were a pastor. I also am a former addict. Thank you for sharing man. Inspiring.

[@VMT504]

The more you tell your story… the more powerful & important 4 the world 2 hear… thank you🙏🏾

[@peterjollymore57]

I have no realtion to alcohol addiction, but this was still really meaningful and powerful to me and really helped me. Thank you for doing what you do Sean!

[@blakerice7928]

Wonderful testimony brother! So happy for you. God bless!

[@TheBestPizzaConnoisseur]

Congrats Sean 👏🏾♥️

[@deantrkulja673]

Congratulations🎉🎉. Keep up the good work

[@mikeoxmaul837]

You should create a separate channel on KZbin where every Sunday you give a biblical lecture, I would tune in for that!

[@joshhickeysmoviereviews]

He did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKXVgK1slqeBnqM

We're all here for you all. Hugs and love to you

[@joe8592]

Love you Sean I’m so proud of you!!! Congratulations 🎊

[@QueenShanine]

I love that you periodically give your testimony about this as my husband has struggled with alcohol and has been sober 5 years this month and as went on to become the drug and alcohol program assistant at his job to give back. Your story will definitely help others. Congratulations on 6 years of sobriety and my you celebrate many more.

[@christaggart5687]

Hey Sean. Thanks for sharing this. I’m a mental health therapist, and much of what you shared here gave me some good insights. I believe that sharing this type of stuff is of great benefit to many others. Thanks for the vulnerability. Enjoy your channel!

[@DominickSpano]

I know you have been doing a similar posting for awhile now annually, but it is good that it can reach others on this growing platform. In past similar videos I have near cried in a positive way regarding the end of the story, if that makes any sense. You never know what is going on inside a person. Congratulations. We keep supporting this nice platform and community here. You look good cleaning shaven as well my friend.

[@jeremybilson7778]

Thanks Sean for being so real, being my favourite KZbinr and for sharing your faith in Christ so boldly! You're an inspiration 😊 God bless you guys! From a fellow creative and former youth pastor 🙏🏻

[@jamesalexandertaylor907]

I am detoxing myself at the moment from alcohol, I am at day 9 without a drink, beat the physical side effects but in the mental game now, just down and exhausted and feel really low not myself but this is because with drinking you mess around with your natural dopamine levels in your brain. Just gotta hold in there wait for things to balance out and my depression and anxiety will reduce. Like you i lost my job in the past month but you have inspired me to hang in there , and also films , tv series, games and books are helping me not to dwell. Just want to say to you sean congratulations on 6 years be proud my friend with what you have achieved with your sobriety and with this channel. Always keep talking movies way too much ;)

[@JoeTufanoTheMovieGuy]

Congratulations on your success Sean, I struggled with pornography and sexual addiction for a while but I sought help in a biblical centered recovery group at the church I attend and I’ve been sober for over 3 years. Thank you for your honesty and openness!

[@daltond12333]

After watching your 5 year celebration last year I went from living in my parents camper, drinking at least a case of beer a day, while putting my family in poverty. That video gave me the courage to start a step study at a local church and I didn't have a drink for a year. Now we are so much better off and although I do have a beer from time to time. It isn't something I need in order to feel okay in my skin. So for that I thank you and I will always support your channel ❤️

[@mrsseanchandlertalksabout4792]

Step Study through Celebrate Recovery? I attended that program after all of this happened to help me cope with the fallout and my feelings, and ground me in truth while everything else felt unstable. One of the best decisions I've made ever. Those step studies are intense! Congratulations!

[@daltond12333]

Yes ma'am!

[@o.a.5287]

One of the realest videos I have ever seen. This type of realness is rare on KZbin. Good for you Sean.

[@chadduckenfield7374]

Here with support

[@lordbaldohomero]

Congrats way to go!

[@rorysavage9376]

Well done Sean!!! Love all your videos and so impressed by your journey 👏👏

[@abbylocascio5769]

thank you for sharing your struggles & your faith. ❤️ Your transparency & vulnerability touches so many, including myself. You’ll always be my favorite creator!

[@chadpressley2557]

Thanks for the testimony. I am so glad you found the way out of the bottle. I wish people would understand alcohol does not wash away the lies or the stress. When you wake up it is still there the next morning. I am glad to hear of your success and the way God is blessing you.

[@tadhughes3644]

I’ve grown up in church being a pk (preachers kid) and I personally have seen ministers in our church who have dealt with addiction. The message you shared in this video about giving yourself to God completely is the only way to get back on a straight path again. So happy for you that you stayed strong in your faith and even seemed to grow in that faith. God bless you brother.

[@davidpritchard4263]

Hi Sean, I’ve been suffering from alcohol addiction for 20 years, my father also is an alcoholic, this video has gave me the inspiration and courage I need to turn my life around, I thank you my friend, huge respect

[@andrewtessmer1644]

I'm really glad that you overcame that struggle and I'm sorry for your loss with your Dad. It's hard when you lose anyone, yet alone a parent. I lost someone very close to me 2.5 years ago and tha pain and sadness is still with me today.

[@thebeastandhistemptress]

With someone who’s battled the same demons I’m so glad for you brother…it’s a massive deal to be so honest and speak out 🙏❤️👍thank you Sean

[@wikusbartleman5846]

Well done congrats man so proud of of you

[@Tay_Sports]

God bless bro!! I remember you making a video like this back in 2019. It’s amazing to see that you’re going strong. I hope you continue to prosper

[@danielschneller1713]

This is my new favorite video of yours. I learned so much about you in this video, I've been watching your channel for over a year, but I had no idea that you struggled with that. I didn't even know you were a Christian, and I am too and I love that you don't hide that. You're the best, and I hope that you continue on this path.

[@DylanGollerShow]

I don't have an alcohol addiction, I do have an addiction. This is helpful, I'm gonna be more open.

[@sterlingstorm7690]

Thank you so much for this video Sean, I had no idea you were a Christian and that’s such a encouraging thing that you shared. Using your platform to share your story and tell about your faith is a amazing thing and I pray that the Lord continues to bless you and your family.

[@Stappy7]

Went up so much in my books man.. It’s not easy to admit you need help and while I can’t say I have gone through what you have.. I can say I did need to ask for help for a serious situation that was no easy feat. Well done on the 6 years and keep it up my guy.

[@stevenbaker107]

Thank you very much for everything. You are freaking awesome and amazing and incredible.

[@OGDAW]

Congratulations Sean!

[@rmjmoviereviews6876]

Sean, we're brothers in arms! I was sober for six years before I broke my sobriety in 2020 after my Mother's unexpected death, and a toxic relationship. I'm staying in the fight bro, trying to fight my way back to sobriety. I appreciate your honesty about the struggle us alcoholics face, and your encouragement to be our higher selves.

[@domination3920]

Hey man I’ve been a fan of your videos for a while, but this just gave me a whole new respect for you. 6 years is a huge milestone! My mom is 16 years sober this year and being in and out of the rooms of AA really changed her life and I’m so grateful for people like you and to share your story and show your strength and hope for others. Congratulations and thanks for reading the rant! Can’t wait to see more movie content too
