1 YEAR SOBER 

Seeing this gives me hope. Currently dealing with this now.

Congrats to AVO! 🥑🙏🏾, do whatever makes you the best person

Lux voice *ITS HEALTHY* Its amazing Avocado.

You and jay blac are the best things outside of league owners to happen to battle rap

MVP of our community. Everyone appreciates you bro

I admire this 🥑!!! You a GOAT for many reasons and this video just catapulted that status. I needed this. Salute 👑!

Congratulations man I'm working on for years God willing next year on the 1st. Gets better and it gets easier God bless you man

If Avo wasn’t the 🐐 to anyone before, this solidifies it.

I just threw my beer away🚫🍺🤢Congrats Avocado!

This is very inspiring for anyone that needs to hear it. I still drink beer, I still drink wine, I still enjoy bourbon and mixed drinks. For me it was the partying and binging that was unhealthy. I have at Max about 2 drinks per week. Often on just weekends and often skipping a weekend. I genuinely enjoy the taste of certain beers drinks etc, there is a safe and healthy way to consume it ... but don’t mistake my story for being unsupportive. I know it’s very difficult to get support to stop. ESPECIALLY from your “friends” if all they do is drink. So I really do love you giving a platform and support to people that need it.

Proud of you Avo. The whole rap community has your back!!

This man singlehandedly saved my life, show him love please!

*CONGRATULATIONS **AVO.AS** A FORMER DRINKER I'M PROUD OF YOU BRUH!!!* 👍👍

💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 we love you Avo!!! Keep going my guy!! You bring so much to this culture!! You on the Mount Rushmore as a creative!

Love you man. This was amazingly powerful and I wish you nothing but the best as always. Thanks for all the years you’ve put into the scene. You’re a diamond and I’m happy to hear you’re in a better place.

You're the man Kyle! Thanks for sharing this. I hope you continue to make positive changes in your life. Shits inspiring brother.

Its amazing how something this small can go so far. You just changed someone’s life

Damn Avo, this got me emotional. I battled addiction for years and that struck a nerve. Congratulations, sincerely. You’re an amazing person and your huge heart inspires me. I’d like to be involved with the chat. Enjoy your new found freedom 💪 you’re the real goat of the culture!

Blessings bro!!! My wife has 9 months clean. I go to the meetings with her every week and it's inspiring to see people take back control of their lives after fighting addiction. You have to be a apecial kind of person to kill them habits.

Yo Avocado, its hard for me to listen to this to be honest. Im so happy to hear you progressed in your life moving beyond the drinking. Im not ready yet for that. Its good to hear how it has benefited you, im so happy for you. As a community we are grateful for everything you have done for us. I cant imagine a mayor event without you and we can see when a mayor is done without you. I hope you stay strong enough to be sober and as a lifting bro i dream to lift you with you. Stay strong and may the best happen to you. I dont think you realize how much you ean to this community. Keep that heart of gold of yours pure like you have. Love you bro, be good, your amazing. Greetings Utrecht, Nederland

Wow bro. You never know what demons ppl are battling (no pun intended). Praise God 🙏

I’m gonna be 4 months soon. Spent 6 weeks in treatment and this video inspires me to keep going. We’re only as sick as our secrets. Thank you for this. Bless up! #onedayatatime 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑

aint hit the powder in a MINUTE. Feels like I won my life back, just got back from the first day of my dream job today. See y'all at the mountain top⛰️✌️

I'm going thru a similar situation I'm on a detoxing off of Xanax 10 days left. Keep it up Avo Stay Strong

Congrats man! Dope to hear. I'm going on year 7 myself! I still smoke trees but alcohol didn't mix well with me. It's been great since putting the bottle down. Awesome story. I can relate.

Congrats on your discipline, hard work, and triumph! I’m proud of you, man.

As a recovering gambling addict, this really resonated with me. Taking that step is the best thing we can do for ourselves. It's certainly not easy but most things that require that level of effort and commitment rarely are. What I would say is the rewards are far beyond anything booze, drugs, gambling etc. could ever give us. Congrats on your 1 year brother. I've been gamble free for 3 years and 5 months. I have self respect, peace of mind and integrity. Life is to be lived.

I knew you drank a lot during the watches, but I never knew it was a problem. Congrats bro! You're definitely not the only person in the BR community who struggles with addiction or substance abuse, so hopefully your openness makes it easier for others to seek help.

Thanks Avocado!! Appreciate you’re honesty and hope for ppl with addiction

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I DON’T KNOW PERSONALLY U BUT IM PROUD OF YOU AND REALLY INSPIRED!! KEEP IT UP BRO 💪🏾🥑💪🏾

Avo is, without question, the most underrated part of the culture and what he contributes to it. I Salute you for this king.

Dude, im coming up to a year. have no idea how this vid was recommended as i was on my tv. not logged in. So glad it found me. White knuckled so many times, also listened back to some of my previous live druken sets and like you felt ashamed. love your passion. Other addicts (of anything) dont get mindset "why dont you just stop". if it was that easy, some of my good friends would still be here..... Big up man

You never know what ppl are going thru behind closed doors. Keep it up Avo, you're not alone bro

Awesome, Avocado! I've been sober for 3 years, and was dealing with the same thing, brother. Keep your head up and keep up the good work! You're Awesome. Much Luv, Homie

So proud bro! Super glad that you've improved and now u feel like a new person! Keep elevating bro

Congratulations! Definitely have me taking a closer look at myself.

Exactly what I needed to hear today. My life's been on a downward spiral for the last 8 years and every bad decision I've made in life has been due to alcohol. Today's the day for change. Ty brother

congrats avocado 1 YEAR SOBER thank you for sharing your life with us

Respect, Avo, and congratulations. Much love.

Am I gonna cry? Nah!!! I'm not gonna cry on a freakin Monday driving home from work. 😥😥

Avo, this is by far the best video you’ve uploaded. Powerful. You’re appreciated my man.

Takes courage to admit the issue, takes strength to control yourself and face your demons, then it takes desire to help others by sharing this. I was a fan of yours before avocado, now I respect you even more. Stay strong, and love from Brazil bro

damn , this was personal ....very inspiring! glad you stopped drinking....great video! One Love for Battle Rap!

Positive vibes... congratulations keep going foward. Great message for others also

Congrats 🥑 you arent alone in your fight brother we gotchu! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Real talk Avocado. Thank you. I know your channel is called Ruin Your Day...but you made my day fam. I’m dealing wit the same issue and I’m a work in progress. Salute 💯

Avo!!! Congrats sir! The marathon continues. SALUTE & RESPECT. This platform is amazing. We thank you. - Flowers

My father has been sober for 25 years. Still calls himself an alcoholic and knows it only takes one bad day. Keep moving forward. Good luck avo

Salute man this was a eye opener and I bet was hard to do, congrats and I wish you all the best Avo.

I recall my 1st year anniversary. I relapsed unfortunately because didn't take my recovery seriously but haven't had anything since then (currently day 152). Regardless, I've learned alot and it's been a been a good journey so far.

I had the same situation. And AA didn’t help me either. I went to an outpatient group therapy program and it worked. Good for you brother

I’m proud Avo and we all are! I know this took a lot to admit but you are giving hope to people who might be in similar positions you were in. I hope the positivity continues to spread and the safe space helps many more people

Congratulations Avo............I just messaged you asking about your progress. I'm so happy to hear this and proud of you brother.

Salute Kyle😎 I've noticed that the beers stopped making cameos a while back...that's inspiring,a lot of us are dealing with something or another.Jus wanted to give you your props for your MAJOR accomplishment. A lot of food for thought in this conversation 💯 SALUTE 🔥🔥

Kyle, you are the man. Thank you for putting in the work to transform yourself, and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable to your audience. You are changing lives in your dedication and honesty. Love to you brother, keep inspiring.

Congratulations Avo, I've been dealing with addiction problem and recently 2 weeks ago my dad had an open heart surgery so things in my life has not been going well .. Contemplating on quiting my habit from tommorow ...God bless you

I appreciate this so much. I've been going through my own shit, social events lead to drinking, drinking leads to blow, vicious cycle. Then i start the next day at a deficit, emotions low, etc. THIS HELPS ME, SO THANK YOU

So much respect for this statement Avo

Congratulations Avocado, thank you for sharing this! This is going to help a lot of people. So proud of you and I don’t even know you, just a big fan of your work! Keep up the amazing growth👏🏾💗

Keep it going bro. Peace

First step is recognizing you have a problem but immediately after, you gotta really WANT to stop. I know ppl who know they have a drinking problem and just dont want to change. Good for you, Avocado.. stay blessed

Well done fella, proud of you, I hope this inspires you to help others, we all need each other in this world

Congratulations Avo! I'm so proud of you brother! Great idea on the weekly hour too that's beautiful

Beautifully honest and probably well needed in the battle rap community, man! I'll add this to the vault of clips I periodically return to when I need to remind myself of what the bad parts of my character tricks me to forget and deny. Thank you, well done and congratulations!

Congrats on the year bro! I'm going through a similar problem with my drinking, so this is hella inspirational!

Sobriety and self love is a life long journey. Thank you for being such a positive influence for the culture, Kyle! Keep doing what you do. We love you!

Have had a similar story, big ups to you Avo. Not easy.

A month and a change sober, thanks Kyle. Seeing how well you are doing gives me hope. Peace my man

Damn Avo, you’re the realest for this one!! Having a platform for addiction is a great fuckin idea man!! I quit smoking weed about a year ago and I can relate on pretty much everything you’ve been through and everything you’ve benefited from since you started making a major change in your life! I couldn’t even imagine battle rap without you bro!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iwzkwVDP90g.html

CONGRATS AVOCADO!!!!!!! 👍🏾🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽

so incredibly proud of you avocado. you are in control of your own life and you are definitely owning it.

Keep it up Avo it's not easy to stay sober but not an impossible task. Talking about it like this helps also. One day at a time. Congratulations on the 1year Kyle, keep it going!

Proud of you man, always an inspiration, with your work and with stuff like this.

Avocado deserves mad respect. He's doing a lot for the culture and thats FACTS!

A little past two years for me. It works if you work it!

CONGRATULATIONS AVOCADO!!

I feel you man. Respect for doing this video. This month is actually 10 years i haven't smoked cigarettes which i still cant believe has been that long. Keep it up bro

Congratulations Avo, I'm hella proud of you and hope you can continue on this positive path. You're a huge inspiration bro, thank you for being you

Congrats that’s big and thanks for all you do for the culture!!! You are the real “Champion of the Year”

THIS IS AND WILL INSPIRE AN ENTIRE GENERATION AVO! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY. WE LOVE YOU AROUND HERE DAWG. REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO ACTUALLY MEETING YOU IN PERSON #BattleRapsFanatic

This is real shit, it's beautiful that you've come to this conclusion and that your life is moving in a positive direction Avo.

You're so insanely brave to make this. Thank you so much! Inspiring. I feel less alienated because I know you've gone through the same shit. Thanks again!

Damn the openness and realness of this video is amazing. I've never struggled with alcohol or drugs, but anyone could definitely learn from the realness of this no matter what

Congrats Avo! 🥑 Love the honesty and the willingness to put this out and help others! You’re the Man! ♥️

10 mins in and am feeling every emotion. I feel your transparency.

Thanks for sharing this!I heard u mention this before, just didn't know to what extent. You definitely saved a life or two with this message bro. Salute

Hey dog, I’m a drug and alcohol counsellor. Happy to help out in whatever way. Hit me up

Were rooting for you brother. This hopefully encourages others to do the same. Life is a precious thing to waste. Kicked my pill addiction 10 years ago and alcohol 5 years ago. Still smoke weed daily but overall I feel proud of myself. I'm turning 38 in September.

Casual battle rap fan who’s been watching RYD for awhile now, never commented. This is worth a comment. This is phenomenal man. Congratulations - both for the accomplishment and the transparency and humility to put this out there.

This really hit me close. My ex broke up with me a little over a year ago and it felt like my whole world was ending. I seriously didn't feel like i could continue after losing such a big piece of my life. Since then i've changed how i lived, lost 70 pounds and become a better human being overall. Thank you for sharing your story Avo, it means a lot to me and im sure it means a lot to all of us.

Well done Avo, you identified a problem and took it into your own hands. Massive respect!

Very courageous Kyle! You should be SO proud of yourself! Thanks for everything!

Much respect! Keep going! The Marathon Continues 🏁🏁🏁

It doesn't get brought up much but I'm like this with weed , its easy to just roll up and try to forget all your stress and problems but next you know youre in a constant daze , forgetting shit all the time and lacking the motivation to fix your problems

I never comment on anything. But I really respect you putting your story out there and appreciate you sharing a video like this with the community. You are touching more people than you realize!

Dope testimony bro!!! Keep up tha good work and keep fighting tha good fight!!! #AVOTHEGOAT

So awesome! Congrats on your sobriety, you got this. You providing a safe space for all people dealing with addiction and illness on your platform is truly a gracious gesture. Your the man 🥑

Well done avo, you are 1 of my inspirations!!, 1 month sober so far!

I've been drinking at least 2 forties of colt 45 every night for almost 6 years now. This video really gave me hope. I'm not going to drink tonight. I don't want to drink ever again. I will check back in sometime down the road and let you know how it goes for me.
