Stay Humble, Stay Grounded, And Always Remember Where You Came From. If You Do Not Do These Three T

[@23VMB]

Gorgeous human. Rest in heaven Ry.

I'm one of them that thinks that the back door to addiction has been shut. Guess what? I'm dead wrong! Just because I think that I'm done doesn't mean a damn thing. I must be vigilant. I must be looking at improving myself daily. No, I have no desire to ever use, but I cannot get fat and lazy. OMG. Ryann YOU Probably HAVE NO Idea HOW VITAL YOU ARE TO THOSE IN RECOVERY! You are wise beyond years. A god send.

[@exploringfloridatrails1834]

Once an addict always an addict! 18 years clean, now 1 month clean, don't let sober time fool you! rest in peace good sir 👍✌🇺🇸

[@mackenzieb5672]

Rip Ryan.

[@kaykaylambert969]

I love yours vids, I've been trying to get my husband to watch you with me, as we (especially him) are fighting the battle. I've been sober for almost 7 months. Don't ever stop! You helping more people than you really know.

[@avytaylor7923]

Hey Ryan. Caught that at the end about your dog 🐶, awww, hope he's doing better! Loved this subject today, thank you! I start everyday by reading my "Just for today" from the NA app! Love it. My bf believes that theory of just forgetting that lifestyle, and moving on. I of course disagree with him on that and tell him why I need to constantly remind myself where I came from. He thinks I waste my time watching these KZbin channels. But that's him. Anyway, exciting about the NBC thing! Congrats! Take care, God bless!

[@gabemccall3523]

So very true

[@traceyleebusbee6377]

Words so true good man god bless u an family glad your wife love u lol god bless amen

[@JohnnyDollar720]

This is my 3rd time to get clean, he's right. You can't forget where you came from you gota "know your Goliath" mine are opiates. If you forget to keep an eye on him he will return bigger than ever. Keep your guard up people!!

[@jays3710]

good shit Ryan! thanks again

[@tomg5187]

Awesome bro!

[@miadavina5656]

Thank you for sharing this personal story Ryan, you are fantastic and I watch a video of yours every morning, I don't go to meetings but this is the next best thing. Please always keep making updates, they help so many people myself included! Thanks and have a great day!

[@tbhwitchall3797]

Still clean?

[@chicofromph33nix64]

He is still my meeting... RIP buddy

[@jasonpeduzzi8897]

A very true statement and video. I can honestly admit since the recent passing of my Father the urge has presented it's ugly head. I'm not giving in and working extra hard to be busy and still going through the grieving process. I just continue to stay green and fight.

[@NASkeywest]

Its so awesome and so sad how many views your videos are getting. awesome because anybody like me who has no support has something so useful here. sad because look at all the people needing help who society, for the most part doesnt support the way they should an cause the disease of addiction to fester in so many great people.

[@alexeichenauer]

Thank you for what you are doing! You helped me very much and each time i view one of your Videos i see something that you experienced and ist EXACTLY the same that happened to me. i tried so Long to quit and now for the first time it is Happening and i am slowly but surely coming out of hell... I will stay humble and i will continue fighting because now i know that it is possible to win this fight! THX and Greetings!

[@leonakita]

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of Insanity'.... I go to this cliche' phrase whenever I feel I can use again without the same thing happening.... and, there is no doubt, as one feels better and time goes by, you will be tempted in some crisis or some stressful moment to revisit 'old ways' thinking somehow you can handle it this time because you learned through personal experience. These are the most critical turns in recovery where one must choose to go right rather than left!

[@joebob4277]

hey Ryan. my name is brock shaw.. been watching your amazing video's for over a year now. started taking pain pills when I was 13 now 23. would love to tell you my story on how I got clean..thanks BROCK

[@dylancaldwell677]

Never say never indeed. Great way to stay grounded. Congrats on the NBC story. Awesome.

[@joemac7879]

Another great video. Thanks Ryan

[@darlenecarroll2954]

Great video Ryan...I want to remember every miserable moment of my addiction...my husband doesn't understand that...he thinks put it all away and forget it..it's been a really rough week for me all around..have a great weekend✌

[@TimJohnsonrecovery]

also ryan look at the pain opiate addicts go through in their early life. my father went off when I was 5 my mother never recovered started drinking and taking librium. in all my childhood I never had a hug from either of my parents and never told me they loved me. I'm not looking for sympathy but did I look for a cuddle and hug from OPIATES!!!!????

[@graeme3023]

I feel you brother.... stay strong

[@teresar.7701]

Awesome video. Meetings , writing in and looking back in my journal, and videos about addiction help me a lot. I believe that keeps me grounded. I have to remember where I came from , definitely , like you said. Thanks a lot , Ryan. Hope you and everyone here has a great night. :)

[@teresar.7701]

Thanks , Ryan. Have a great weekend as well. :)

[@rachealariatti8872]

hi this is my first time commenting but felt like I need to. your videos are amazing been watching for years trying to figure out how I'm going to get into recovery. I am scared to death of withdrawal from suboxone. would like to try calm support, but can't afford it what else can I do

[@RhysapGrug]

Get a pot of garlic cloves take one every night and plenty of raw honey,apart from regulating body temputure helps with lots of things.when the diorea kicks in start taking lopromide,for the lack of sleep,who knows,sorry about my gramma,my English getting better!Good luck doll,you got this!

[@rachealariatti8872]

Thank you I will give it a shot I appreciate it

[@bronnismofo]

Hey Ryan. have you ever looked into Rational Recovery? I couldn't bring myself to adopt the 12 step philosophy, when I found RR it really hit home for me and made recovery a lot less difficult.

[@kellylb1977]

What should you do if your in recovery and have a medical diagnosis that's needs surgery to fix and will most likely require pain meds after the procedure? Do you tell them you can't take anything because you have a past with opiates and endure the pain ? I'm having surgery for my 3 degenerating disks and I'm scared of accepting any pain management after surgery.

[@kellylb1977]

+Ryan Donnelly thank you so much Ryan . I feel more at ease now.

[@lazaroortiz5208]

Is it okay if you don't count the days I'm clean?

[@johnnytrapantino78]

Totally ok. Personally I remeber first time getting sober I was counting days and when I relapsed and lost that number it devastated me and did more harm then good.

[@drippyog3935]

hi I've been off hydro for 3-4 days and I had bad nonstop hot flashes , aches and nonstop crying and super bad depression that's really hard to bare , what should I do ?

[@rockinroberta9925]

Ride it out David! It will pass in a week or so!

[@drippyog3935]

+Rockin Roberta I hope and my body feels hot is that normal for WD?

[@scjct1]

The mental part is really harder after acute withdrawal. Hang in there bro.

[@drippyog3935]

+s jones okay I'll try , I just hate the hot body feeling , and feeling like I always wanna cry or be depressed

[@drippyog3935]

+s jones I can't see anyone about it either cause I'm 16

[@1ststepfitnessandrecovery111]

Hey brother left a comment on your last video about making a Q and A with my mom let me know what you think.

[@1ststepfitnessandrecovery111]

+Ryan Donnelly that's what I was thinking hoping some family members could look at it to help them understand better

[@1ststepfitnessandrecovery111]

+Nick M and thanks for the shout out :)
