THE HONEST TRUTH

i decided to sit down, and share the honest truth about my journey, and hopefully by opening up, it can help someone else who is going through the same thing.
i really appreciate your time

[@jessharris1745]

Good on you Mitch. Would love to hear Chloe’s side of things on what she went through and how she handled it.

[@shanaevisser9190]

Yesss please 🙏🏼

[@meganmcleod5962]

Part 2!

[@mikaylaballerini2383]

PLEASE!!!

[@taylahschafer7855]

Omg yes please!

[@TanekaJane]

Yes 🙌🏼

[@Michael-bp9cf]

Finally a young male influencer opening up. This kind of ‘socially accelerated’ drug use isn’t spoken about enough. I don’t know any guys under 25 who aren’t on the exact same cycle. Not one. Most hold down full time jobs and are considered ‘successful’ from good families etc but these insidious habits still take their toll, some take lives. Thank you for being honest, this is important.

[@georgiat1404]

Serena great comment, definitely needs to be spoken about more, hopefully Mitch is a catalyst for this.

[@elliemaree1995]

I don’t know about anyone else, but I honestly feel like Mitch should be a motivation speaker/advocate, and a supports person for men who are struggling (for women too). The way you’ve opened up, been honest, not given blanket bullshit, bringing awareness etc. it’s amazing. Real talk.

[@hollyrb92]

Elise 100% agree. He is clear, concise, no bullshit, completely genuine, and judgement free!

[@elliemaree1995]

hollyrose___ and he isn’t giving out like clinical advice, or quoting some website bs. He is telling people to step back reflect and if something is obviously off to seek help and support and showing that it can be done!

[@millieasmr]

100%

[@taylahelliott1381]

I agree!!!! Going to schools, high schools etc

[@adamvolker7968]

You are setting a great example for your baby mate.

[@shanaevisser9190]

Far out i would love for Chloe to make a video and explain how she copped with a boyfriend who would be a complete different person on weekends with drinks and drugs. How she always stuck by your side and helped you through this even though i feel like the person needs to want it for themselves and not because the partner wants them to stop. You’ve done a great job mitch you’re a champ.

[@justingilliland272]

Shanae Visser such kind words shanae

[@samanthamcnay581]

I agree! I think it would be such an interesting watch

[@nicolefairman1281]

id love to see a video like this!

[@johnsick5590]

Shanae Visser if you love someone you’ll stick by them no matter what. Simple as that

[@katemitchell3178]

Finally a young male using his platform! There are so many young boys and men who need to have someone to guide them and to know that it isn't normal behaviour to party like it's the end of the world. To break the stigma for men not being able to talk about their feelings and mental states. I have a 16 year old brother who is EASILY influenced by older 'Friends'; And this is something so empowering for him to hear. I hope a lot of people reflect on Mitch's words and do some soul searching.

[@jenniferminehan8989]

There’s a huge amount of empowerment and strength coming from Mitch’s story and as much as I know it will help both males and females, I think there’s a lot of males out there that will benefit by watching this. It can be really difficult for men in general to speak up about their struggles and show some vulnerability BUT every time at least one male is able to this, it will hopefully motivate another to do the same. Thank you for using your platform to share stuff that will make a difference. You’re a bloody legend Mitch.

[@katedyson4412]

we desperately need more influencers like you and Chloe - so authentic and clearly here for the right reasons

[@siennaaperry]

he is so authentic, the minimal editing really shows he knows what hes talking about through his experiences. a big inspiration! I will DEFINITELY be showing my brother and father this video being big alcohol and drug users themselves. Thank you

[@VertxGamingYT]

Mitch, you're a legend and an inspiration to many young lads out there. love your work brother keep up with the journey.

[@alexhillsdon8076]

This really hit home for me! This was the exact life I was living and would regret it every week and spiral downward and after changing my whole mindset and health it’s made such a difference and you have seriously inspired me to keep going ❤️

[@kaleyc3418]

This was surprisingly comforting to hear, as a partner of a guy whos going through similar. Although you said change has to come from within and i dont know when that'll be. Im feeling hopeful that change can occur. It might not happen with me but it also has nothing to do with me.

[@kirra003]

I hope things go well for you x it takes a lot of commitment, but I hope it goes well.

[@jessmitrea]

Wishing you the best of luck Kaley! Don’t forget, ‘You can’t help somebody who can’t help themselves’...chin up 😊

[@hopegriggs510]

It is sooo important for people to share stories / experiences like this so others can relate and realise they can move forward. Your honesty is empowering! All the best xx

[@hannahskye8252]

This is unreal, thank you so much. My family and I are really struggling with addiction and sobriety and it’s so so so so important that young men start opening up about serious issues like this, thank you!!!

[@emmacorbett1653]

This is such an eye opening video! Chloe should do a video speaking from her point of view and how you both coped with this 💜

[@RandomHorseyFreaks]

I’ve gained so much respect for you since seeing this, I’m so happy you’ve shared this. I’ve been through addiction and rehab and cocaine is one of the hardest drugs to stop. You’re definitely not alone and you’ve absolutely done the best thing for yourself and your family. You’ve shown so much strength and resilience by getting sober and speaking out. Thank you ❤️

[@taylorsaville6555]

Exactly what our generation needs to hear, drug culture is scary in our day and age. Such a beautiful video, huge congratulations to you Mitch!

[@mackenzieweare2020]

i want to thank you for sharing. this has really helped my situation and made me stand back and think about the bigger picture. very blessed 🙏

[@donnalee7440]

Seriously appreciate you speaking on this. It's going to help alot of people. thank you for being open and honest.

[@miriamroberts6463]

This video couldn’t have come at a better time for me. You’ve been a big inspiration in wanting to go sober/ changing my drinking habits. Thank you for sharing and opening up! Keen to hear more on the topic of how you’ve kept it up.

[@lauracheetham7]

I've literally never heard someone explain this so well. How you spoke about the levels of high - how life is meant to be level and grounded but living a constant height has a dangerous fall. So groovy to open up!!

[@jodielaman]

I can relate to this. I used to go out clubbing and drinking every weekend with people who were toxic and did not care at all. It wasn’t until I met my partner and he said I bet your can’t go sober for month that I realised how good I felt and began to reconnect with myself, as well as have quality over quantity of people in my life. It feels amazing! Congratulations to you on your journey this far! This is such a good story and lessons to communicate to your children. I hope they see this video when they are older and understand that it is about quality of life. Good on ya matey

[@kattiemuir3254]

Best thing on the internet. So powerful for other young people, in particular young men to see someone be so honest and frank about drug use and give practical advise about how to start trying to turn things around. Your new found happiness speak for itself, AMAZING!

[@paigewalters5292]

Holy crap Mitch! This resinates with me sooo much, its like an endless cycle of guilt & sadness.. thank you for sharing this. I knew my drinking was a problem, but used my age (20 years old) as an excuse..

[@lsarbl]

You should look into the “we want to be better” podcast and instagram, totally changed my perspective of alcohol and the drinking culture I was in. 😊

[@emeliemadeline3551]

i’ve always had so much respect for you mitch, you’re honestly such an inspiration

[@Jemaleigh9]

It’s so nice to see someone be real! These are things so many people go through and we do brush it off as “normal” there’s more to life then feeling comfort in hangovers and only having fun whilst on drugs! I struggle with not going over the top but this is a reminder that we can change our beliefs and habits 🤍 proud!

[@shenaegordon2241]

You are creating such a positive movement among young adults, good on you Mitch. So many think it’s great to live by drugs and alcohol, this is not happiness and I wish more people knew this.

[@daniwigz6434]

shenae gordon I’m twelve and it’s helped me think about what I want my future to hold

[@KitaaJ__]

This video has inspired me to go on my own journey of giving something up that brings so much pain to my life! Not drugs/alcohol related but food related. I’m over hugging the toilet bowl every single time I eat junk food yet I keep doing it to myself because it gives me 5 minutes of ‘happiness’, then I spend all night in absolute pain. Time to change! Tomorrow is a new day & the day I start 💪🏾

[@tylerbrash1764]

So raw and natural. Thanks for bringing light to such a un-talked about topic! Congratulations on 150 days you are doing amazing!!!! Will both be the best parents.

[@NamesBrooks]

This has ment a lot to me this has helped me open up to not only my partner, my family and my true friends. I know I’m a little younger but this has helped me get onto a problem before it got out of hand. and I want to thank you for opening up

[@rbrown5416]

Purely subscribing just for this mate, keep it up. Struggling with the same issues atm, did 4 months sober fell off the wagon for 3 months now time to kick it for good and what you're saying throughout this is spot on 👍

[@natasha5215]

I love the way you described life being so up high when you were getting on it, and everything else begins to feel low. I can definitely see how that desensitisation can get people addicted, it can be so many other things as well like food, social media, gaming etc. Observe yourself and identify what’s truly going to make you happy and at peace.

[@kerrydonovan2052]

Thanks for this video Mitch! So refreshing to have someone talk about being sober, especially at your age. "Going against the norm" love your videos and you will definitely help others which is so nice. 🙌🏼

[@DN-rl6pk]

"If you want to change, you have to change for yourself, you can't do it for someone else, it doesnt matter how much you love them." So true and the best advice you can give someone. Good for you for taking care of yourself and loving yourself. Great video!

[@madisonfisher7571]

Yes Mitch!! Congratulations on your sobriety, I’m 58 days alcohol free & I don’t think I’ll ever look back. This is a great discussion to share with other because it’s an accomplishment of will power!! Keep striving to be the best version of you!

[@jasminekriletich464]

This is amazing! I don’t know anyone or never experienced this. But when I do go out with my friends drugs are sooo normalised and everyone’s doing it. I haven’t done it myself and being someone who hasn’t you feel pressured to “fit in” I feel like you should use your platform more to help men because this is so good!!!!

[@jadet7714]

Thanks for sharing I’m on a journey too and this helps a ton with the days I struggle. God bless 🙌🏽

[@JessieeCar]

Cant believe I'm hearing such wise words from a person who is younger than me. You're very mature for your age. Thank you for sharing such great advice for someone who is in a troublesome place. Keep up the positive vibes.

[@jenellen2260]

this is so relatable. its so easy to get caught up in that lifestyle. but when you sit back and realise that nothings changed week to week. I was basically buying myself a return ticket overseas twice a weekend. every weekend for 3 years. its crazy and such a waist of time. money. it changed my outset on life in the most unhealthy way

[@sara_208]

As someone who fixated on cocaine myself, I deeply appreciate and respect you being so raw and vulnerable on your large platform. It’s the most rewarding feeling to be on the other side of it, and I couldn’t be prouder of you to have had the self awareness to kick those bad habits to the curve. You have undoubtedly changed and inspired the lives of many who have been in your shoes. Wishing you, Chloe and your future baby all of the health and happiness in the world.

[@yngturk734]

Honestly Mitch this was so relatable having gone through a marijuana addiction and dropping out of school at year 10 to get high every day. That all started back in 2018. Now going on 4 months completely sober and about to start studying for my degree in film and TV at JMC Academy in Melbourne, you are completely right, once you stop your bad habits that are setting you back you start to feel more motivated to do the things you enjoys and start to achieve things in life. Very relatable and I think you did a smack bang perfect job at explaining your story to the world, encouraging others to do the same. Great job Mitch.

[@elizatucker3387]

[@teerose1513]

This was so lovely to hear! especially when my partner is going through the exact same thing. Everything you said was on point and I commend you for actually being strong enough to make this video. So many males your age need to know this is something not to be ashamed of and that you can come out the other side!

[@troy6153]

Amazing Mate to come out like that! It’s a common thing and I do the same thing every weekend struggling with it and my girl hates cause I’m out all weekend. Thanks for this hopefully it will get through my thick head. Top bloke

I can't imagine how hard this journey has been for you and Chloe. You should be incredibly proud of yourself! I unfortunately was in the same position as you two and my partner couldn't get sober. It ruined our relationship, it ruined us are individuals and we aren't together or even on speaking terms. I know he still has his bad habits and for afar, I just pray that one day he will get sober and be happy

[@aidanthomas4978]

[@nickstevens1875]

Mitch you're a legend mate thanks for opening up, I think it's a testament to you that you have been able to change your habits, especially at your age. I'm 27 and have been living a less extreme version of your story for most of my adult life. I would consider myself successful, I would consider my friends successful however we consistently engage in negative behaviour as it's borderline accepted as normal. Our baseline for what constitutes a good time has completely been warped and I am sure it has negatively affected parts of my personality. Having the strength to say no to that short-term, instant gratification mindset is incredibly powerful so good on you mate, I'll take that as encouragement for my own life.

[@sally-anneallen2438]

I would love to see you get into some courses for mentoring, leadership, positive speaking and support services and use your experience to really help people face to face in the community, especially the teen/young adult crowd. You have a way of explaining your situation without pressuring others to do as you have done- just to be their best. Good on you Mitch 👏

Everyone has their own journey with getting clean/sober what might work for one might not work for you! It's bloody hard an not a walk in the park getting sober but it's bloody worth it in the end!!

As soon as one of your New videos comes up straight away watch it 💯 love you guys 😍😍
