Thanks for sharing your story, Nick. I hope you see that there's waaay more people happy to see you get back up and succeed than people with negative judgment. Keep grinding, and if you fall back down, know you got a family on the #GreenWall that's gonna help you back up

Crazy to think there’s those people who are all, “Hector why do you keep people like Nick on the team? They do nothing” etc etc. As if they never heard of having a close friend, or family. But I can’t blame them for thinking that way though, I mean how fucking rare is it to see a millionaire businessman, actually care about his “employees”.

Being an addict causes anxiety because you know you’re letting everyone down... it’s a vicious cycle. You self medicate to escape reality, then you feel worse . Then you get clean and all the anxiety and depression gets worse, then you need to medicate to cope and you’re back on the merry go round. Good luck, one day at a time. It gets easier even though it’s torture. Eventually you realize that the torture of sobriety is way better than the torture of addiction.

Haven’t got to finish the podcast yet, Nick was one of my favorite members. What did he say he went to rehab for? I heard the part they mentioned when Nick would do a video and be completely spaced out, but didn’t catch what he was on. Sounded like some sort of Benzo like anti anxiety turn-you-to-a-zombie type medication.

it says a lot about the state that nick is in right now that he's able to be this open about his struggles, it shows a lot of progress. most people have a hard time talking about it unless they're really thru a lot of it. happy that he got the help he needed and seems to be doing A LOT better. props to this man for getting his life back in his own hands, i can personally say when drugs take control of your life, you lose a lot of things and people you love and that only makes the dependency for the drug that much worse. Congrats on getting clean Nick its one of the hardest things to do.

I woke up today feeling shitty, I've had depression for years and today I just woke up with no desire to face the day. I put this on while in bed and just hearing someone else talk about their issues gave me the drive to get up and be productive. Helping people by talking about this doesn't always mean stopping someone from addiction, it can be in the form of a little kick up the ass to stop wallowing and get on with it. Much love Davis and Nick, you two are some real ones ✊🏼

I have so many flash backs of you at the scuff house all addied out and knew you were withdrawing every time you were zombie mode for weeks on end. Get back into streaming/vids and take advantage of this unreal opportunity. Much love brotha.

This is speaking to me on so many levels and I praise both of you for being honest and sharing this conversation. It means a lot to me personally and I really hope you're all doing okay.

Nick, from someone who has been struggling with addiction for years, I can not thank you enough for speaking out about your experiences! Especially in times like these, I don’t think it can be over stated how much knowing your not a lone and hearing other addicts talk about their struggles, means to others struggling with the same thing. Since you are in the position to do so, with such a loyal and strong following that the rest of us don’t have, please start a podcast about these podcasts. I think it would be so helpful for the gaming community and other addicts outside the gaming community.

Little late on watching this, just checked out the channel but I'm glad you are back. I'm going through a similar situation, with having abused Xanax, marijuana and other things for an escape. I especially relate on the ghosting part as I've done and still been doing to this day. I've been clean from everything for two months now and relate to how becoming sober is only a small part of the journey. Dealing with the anxiety, and the other stuff that it can bring is a whole other thing. Hearing you talk about this so publicly will definitely have an impact on a lot of people like myself. Again, just glad you are back. Thank you, Nick.

Good for you nick. Addiction is a different beast. I'm struggling with a 400mg daily oxy and 10mg Xanax habit. I feel your pain. Was clean for over 3 years too before 2020 and I've ruined my life again. Can definitely relate my man. Thanks for sharing your story it takes a lot of strength, and with your status probably helps a lot of people. 1 day at a time. Wish I could go back to rehab but can't afford it. You're the man.

Nick you probably won’t see this, but giving your story is going to help more people watching this video than you would probably think. I’m sure there are people watching this that can relate to your situation and use the knowledge you’ve gained in their own life. Thank you for speaking about your experience brother.

Who else clapped when Nick said he was over 30 days sober? Because holy shit I’m so proud of him. Non-addicts have no idea what they battle every day, even when they describe it to you. The pain and suffering...I’m so happy you’re doing well, Nick. You’re a fucking real one and have so much strength to come on the Flycast and spill your heart and mind to everyone. 2021 is your year to conquer, and I’m here to see it 🤙🏻

Ain’t that the truth. I had a cough syrup addiction that took YEARS to overcome. Lost my wife, my home, my job, almost lost my two little girls. It takes a ton of courage to discuss this stuff publicly. God bless this man. I pray he stays sober.

There are not enough words to express my thanks to Optic and especially Hector. He has made Optic the family that it is. So much love and support for each other...and worried mothers too. Bless you all. There is a special place in heaven for all of you. Nicks anxiety started at the age of six and as so many others, self medication starts. Please don’t be afraid or ashamed to reach out for help. Much love💚💚💚❤️.

Keep working at it 💚 New vlogs from SobRieTiNiaC (working title)? - the journey to stay sober and help explain the difficulties in staying on course and showing the benefits of being sober. I think you’d have a ton of support and could help a lot of people along their journey as well. Proud of you Nick
