Sober Living w/ Brandon Turner | Independent Trucks

[@SuperDodell]

Love this so much! My son is interviewed five minutes into this video. I can’t say enough wonderful things about how Healthy Life Recovery has changed his life! Thank you so much for the wonderful support you’ve given him and us as a family! I’m proud of him and thankful for all of you!

[@papaemeritus8252]

That’s so great and inspiring!

[@zacharyangulo9456]

That’s amazing I wish continued success I myself know this isn’t easy and I hope my mother too be as proud 💕

[@tracker4854]

Life is short so continue to highlight your child! Glad he’s been able to find enjoyment and enjoyment in life.

"It's not 'if you're going to fall' it's 'when you're going to fall' and it's about learning how to fall better". WISDOM.

[@betamalehawk]

alcohol ruined my life and took away my passion for skating for 6 years, I'm nearly 2 years sober now and I'm back in love with skating and I feel great!

[@filippe7842]

Brandon you're such an inspiration. Skateboarding is so fortunate to have you

[@simp..]

137 days clean today. Recovery in skateboarding gets me so hyped. Been back on board for like 2 months and it's true it feels like a rebirth or like that same level of hype and motivation from childhood first board. We do recover. If you're still out there miserable and using just know there's a way out and you never have to use again. 💙

[@kryptichands968]

Right on, congrats on you're sobriety, I'm back to 36 days, and cherish every day, keep grinding 👊

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

congratulations guys! keep on skating and living free!

[@whylerplane5440]

113 days. You got this, I got this, We got this. Much love from Boise Idaho

[@Schnarkel]

I'm so glad we have some good role models in skateboarding that have platforms like these to show the younger generation what skating is really about

[@WrdtoMuva]

So true…skateboarding is the best community in the world.

[@kryptichands968]

Being sober is the best choice I've ever made, because I can skate when I want and not have regrets hangovers and all the negative impacts that come with drugs and alcohol, skating has saved my life and continues to do so, one love.

[@medievaltrap7285]

Thats good im really proud of you for realizing most people dont ❤

[@tracker4854]

Stay strong my friend.

[@skate_health7319]

How did you do it ? I went thru a blindside divorce and now all I can do is get fucked up and skate to appease the demons. Injuries and shot got me on the ground.

[@tracker4854]

@@skate_health7319 I bet it’s hard bro. I have full faith that you can regain your self esteem back tho. It takes time and lots of work.

[@sb11michael]

you are correct, skateboarding saved my life as well. Only drink on occasions now, which I rarely do. But skating like when I first started back in Middle school before the drugs n alcohol. shits like therapy, am grateful. good vibes

[@seanbraun4067]

This is the most important piece Indy has ever done. Thank you for doing this. Ride the best, HELP the rest.

[@briancannon3987]

Were all one consciousness. No coincidence you feel best when helping others

[@Skateandcreate9]

Yet people now constantly choose to go down the path or criminality and violence smh lost souls

[@SteezySocks]

Big props to B Turner and independent trucks! Skateboarding really saved my life. Kept me grounded (literally and figuratively), and has taught me a lot of life lessons on getting back up from falling. Love that this platform is showing that skateboarding is more than a sport, it is a way of life!

[@codykoplin5337]

Like Mullen. They wanted to known how to teach people how to keep coming back after you get broke off. You dont teach people that you experience it for yourself. Its love passion obession insanity and determination.

[@frischeluft8985]

Big Respect to all the people in the video! I wish you all the best!

[@recession81]

It's so amazing to see Brandon giving back and helping people get better with mental health and addiction, mad respect

[@4dub802]

Check Brandons whole story out he has come so far.

[@BERNIE817]

Brandon is a LEGEND! Help your community bro!

[@quebee4695]

This piece was amazing - Brandon Turner is a legend for this

[@solidbluebrian]

Brandon is the best! He’s like become Uncle B to all of skateboarding. Really love what he’s doing with this program

[@kmac123ize]

This is very inspiring, I'm now 5 month sober the longest time sober I've had out of 23 years on earth

[@outonbail355]

Brandon’s the man, keep it up, love from Australia

[@ryanavocado7559]

Oh the irony of having Milton do the subscribe outro

[@rpemulis]

lmao

[@dudemusstinkmeyer9843]

First and foremost Brandon Turner has been one of my favorite skaters since I started actually popping tricks when I was younger. He was always good and consistent but somewhat under rated. I got away from skateboarding unfortunately for a few years, until recently , due to addiction. Therefore I didn't get to keep up with Brandon and everything he's been thru apparently, but thank goodness for him and everything he's doing to help these people. I seriously hope he and all these people keep it up

[@Utubesux]

The being sober vs. drunk/addict thing is always a personal choice...🍻

[@fernandolozano7930]

Damn Brandon out here doing gods work!!! Bless him for doing this FR!!!

[@gnarlylasagna7464]

skating really is the best outlet

[@leandrogamba7110]

MR. BRANDON TURNER IS MOTIVATION FOR ME SKATEBOARDING OF MY LIFE, SINCE SHORTY'S (FULFILL THE DREAM).📝🌎✊🙏👊

[@stink_monger773]

This is the coolest thing I have seen in a very long time

[@CloudSeedz]

Brandon inspired me to Stop & Skate 🛑! Been a year 🙏☝️ 🛹

[@kcjones6034]

I've been skateboarding for a few years and it helps me in life. It teaches me when to push, when to rest, sometimes I land a cool trick and people send encouragement, skateboarding gives me a place to be when I have nowhere to go. And overall it gives me a sense of flow, a deep flowing focus that holds my attention.

[@thalessimoes3748]

I remember to travel 900km to buy a VHS skate vídeo, Shortys fulfill the dream, and have a nice skate sesions, thank you Brandon for inspiration, good vibes from Brasil!

[@Ellingsonmineral]

I needed to see this. Thank you BT! 268 days sober. Do a part 2!

[@davidevans4633]

Watching this has made my day, big up Brandon and all those involved in such a positive programme!

[@codykoplin5337]

Brandon much love been skating for over 24 years. Been clean and sober in March 12 years. I went to 12 steps through AA and Addiction Recovery Program through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You guys have a big Temple there in SD. Love you guys and what you are doing. Can I get an invite and be a facilitator or mentor? I would love to come skate with everyone. God bless you for your service!

[@Rob-in-hood]

Wow man this is what I needed when I went to treatment a few months ago! The whole time down I was telling the workers mostly all I wanted to do was skate after almost a decade without cuz my addictions got so ugly I had no desire to skate among many other things like the will to even live and ppl that are clean could never want to go without these daily routines. And for everyone that does or use to skate I couldn’t think of a better addition it was most of our first love and can never be explained

[@CloudSeedz]

Well said bro! Getting back skating after 20+ years has changed my lifestyle, and I’ve lost 50 lbs 😂 🛹 Brandon inspired me with that insane switch drop in.

[@jakethesk8roberts763]

What an amazing program I wish we had a program like this up here in the Bay Area I feel like we can all relate to this

[@petervanschaack8361]

What a powerful story. Being in recovery and trying to get back into skateboarding. I'm older, so mostly cruising but what a release to be free that skateboarding has brought back to my life.

[@chrisstopher6858]

Had 8 months sober from alcohol but have fell off the wagon hard, starting today I’m back on it and the board to roll into the new year on a positive note, Brandon your awesome. Remember watching Fullfill the Dream and dude was killing it as a kid now he’s doing this.

[@dneck]

I'm not totally sober but i have nothing but love and respect for those who are. i stopped drinking and life is so much better now.

[@zach6243]

Brandon got me out here from Kansas a year ago and I owe so much to him. He's as real as it comes. Braden is my homie from Kansas who's interviewed second. I'm sad he's smoking again but I know he'll get it when he's ready.

[@JamesBrighter]

J PAT!!!!!!!! So happy for you. You inspire us all to be better skaters and people.

[@morphosis7655]

I hope all of you guys are well.

[@thebigcheese5114]

Wow mad respect for BT and all of them! As a skater with three years clean and sober this really touches my heart. 👏🏻

[@realmoney7593]

Big respect to Brandon and what he's doing to help people with mental health issues and getting sober, I'm the same age as Brandon and always look up to him for having heart to do the most scariest ish on a skateboard... Big ups Brandon and thanks for inspiring so many and all the clips on shortys and mafia.. Just Hella dope!

[@DeadHandX]

Maximum Respect for Brandon!!forever!

[@christophersawyer253]

Great to see Tyler doing well. Spokane UTF legend right there.

[@shiftymcfly]

I love u do b turner I've been clean 10 yrs and skating helps me keep it that way... what ur doing is amazing keep up the good work bro

[@benjaminfowler4513]

Just got back into skating and hoping it'll help me stay straight. Being a speed freak has taken a serious toll on me idk if I'll ever bounce all the way back.

[@TeddyPESO]

Brandon is doing a good thing. He is so right about just skateboarding releasing your endorphins and getting your blood to move. Changing your attitude in a positive way. Learning to fall better and better as life hits you with bumps and falls like drugs. I too used to use substance abuse of cocaine!!!! I love this guys story!!!! Lets go Brandon Turner!!!!

[@TheArts19]

Raddddd I love Brandon Turner now! I love skateboarding with people like this. Hyped on basics. Just rolling. Sk8Mafia represent. All you need is love.

[@sushiquad]

when i went to rehab i couldnt skate for 30 days, it was the longest time i ever went without skating. i was reading skate mags when other people at the rehab were taking cig breaks. this is so awesome. been sober 5 years now. skateboarding is what fills the void which drugs used to fill

[@crisLeaps89]

God bless your beautiful soul Brandon. Thank you for all you do G! CHAAAA!!!!!!!

[@michaelimperato9125]

This is so awesome. I wish we had a program like this in albany Ny. Skateboarding is the best thing ever. If I could skate more od relapse less for sure. The struggle is real

[@ajvallery3134]

I’ve used skateboarding as something positive in recovery & something to push myself harder but I slipped back & im ready to give it all up for good.

[@_Tyler-G]

I wish Brandon was in North Fort Worth! Would love a crew like this ever since moving from OC 5 years ago.

[@cbnf7416]

I've been gettin bored w skating lately n stuff like this is reignites the fire, long live B Turner

[@fulltilt151]

I thought I'd just aged out of skating but after 2yrs of climbing out of the bottle, I'm finding that I can skate longer than I could 10 years ago. Got all 3 of my tricks back to. ;) Stoked on BT and all the work you guys are doing. Keep pushing...

[@alexbrinkmancello]

Love to see stuff like this, skateboarding has helped me stay sober as well.

[@dionanderson8185]

Another great guy watched him coming up when he was on Shortys well done Brandon 💯😊

[@skate7destroy1]

I started a 12-step skate session meeting in Phoenix area back in 2009. The session/meeting is called Sunday Session. For all the sober homies interested it’s in the meeting list book. We’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of straight up gutter punk heroin addicts find this meeting and realize that sobriety and healthy living are a essential piece of the recovery process and really help keep people moving in the positive direction. Sobriety isn’t for people who need it, it’s for people who want it and go get it. If you’re struggling with addiction I want you to know that you can do this.

[@philippschmidt2750]

Thats awesome man, Keep it up!

[@drewstaples9648]

Amazing!!!! That’s all I can think to say. Good shit!!

[@zioncore]

wow I love this guy. Heart of gold !

[@carbonite1994]

I fuck with this big time. I’m in the program, but sittin around in the rooms and calling ppl is boring...

[@peteyb8556]

B-TURNER IS SUCH A G! THANKS FOR GIVING BACK.

[@hashbrown8670]

What an absolute legend Lil B!!!

[@milesolsen_]

Absolutely amazing - thanks for the inspiration Brandon 🙌🏻❤️

[@j92_ek]

Love what you have going here, This was much needed along time ago for everyone that needs help. Very inspiring to make the right choices. There’re not always easy to make 🤙🏼

[@RFAQM]

Watching this segment made me feel so good about living AOD free for the last couple of years, and inspires me so much to keep it up and also get back to skating way more than I have been the last few years. It is so crazy(aka Amazing, after seeing his Shorty's clips as a kid) to me, seeing B.Turner embracing such a manifestly positive community-driven program and supporting these people to build a whole new world for themselves and those around them through the magic of skateboarding and the freedom and joy that it can bring! As a side note, I am sorta baffled that any person gave this the thumbs down, like huh?! This video has more than likely helped encourage a shift in a lot of those who have viewed it and began a new journey with sober living. Much Love!!

[@jackcowling3314]

Brandon seems so genuine and down to earth

[@deadredeyes]

Respect, Brandon. Keep up the good work.

[@aurelioalvarezdelara1932]

I have been sober for 7 years now and the fact that i'm able to write this right now is because of skateboarding. KEEP SKATING

[@inout7917]

skateboarding contains people! we all have it togheter! so rad to see Brandon giving it to some that needed ! amazing work! B!!!!!

[@bradical8198]

Didn't even know that was you at the Carlsbad skatepark when you spoke to me, remember you as the young Brandon Turner in the early 2000's. Good dude right here!

[@thomaslee7726]

Loved the video and what you are doing for people who suffer with addiction I'm nearly two years clean after abusing meth for 20 years now I'm back doing what I love and that's skate boarding

[@JoeyDigital]

👏🏼 this is rad!

[@KaosRising]

This should be recommended viewing

[@platinumhandymansolutions]

Great to see this. Wish I could skate still. Tried last year and rolled my ankle so bad I was out of work for 6 weeks. No more for me. Makes me sad but such is life.

[@jcsk8]

I never did drugs and I´m out of heavy drinking. But still got bears twice a week. Wanna reduce to once a month.

[@reza_dc2]

Proud of you B.

[@rustskateco]

[@nicolasstaudt5714]

Thank you Brandon.

[@episodebeats2817]

Get Bam on this program ASAP

[@trevormekelburg3773]

This made me reconsider switching to ACE trucks hahah. But in all seriousness this was awesome. Shout out to Indy for highlighting this crew and program. 5 years sober this year!

[@Brotha_J619]

BT & RHINO SD legends love you guys and all you guys do ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ big Johnny

[@EclecticWizard6]

This is such a cool piece!

[@rcppop3090]

I spent the better part of 30 years high or drunk. I wish I had done it sooner. I’m 19 months sober and I can’t skate this good but I still skate at 46yo! Gratitude towards everything and everyone positive.

[@lateralus614]

43 on the same path. You got this.

[@leejordan5937]
