This was such an honest and raw talk, absolutely breathtaking.

@DarkPanter55811 8 лет назад

Your last name "Krieger" is german for warrior and after hearing your story I feel like it fits very well.

@leojoey6606 8 лет назад

+Klara Bee you're making me cry even more now.

@MicroageHD 8 лет назад

Because only a mindless warrior can do stupid things such as taking drugs?

@MicroageHD 8 лет назад

***** lol, how about no?

@leojoey6606 8 лет назад

***** I would accept that offer tbh.

@DarkPanter55811 8 лет назад

just accept that everyone is allowed to have different opinions.

I have no idea how Ali could sit there through this, I would be a mess if that was my brother up there. Both Kyle and Ali are so damn strong for making it through all they went through and having a healthy relationship to show for it.

Gah I'm such an emotional mess. This puts it all in perspective, my problems aren't as bad as the next persons. Thanks Kyle, you're a beautiful soul ❤️

@Ken0604 8 лет назад

Have been waiting for this for awhile now. Kyle you did an amazing job of telling you story. I know sometimes you feel like you are living in the shadows of your sister but your really not you are just as important to us as she is. So proud of you and will spread the video to others.

@wichols93 8 лет назад

How I wish the addicts in my family could have held themselves accountable the way Kyle did. Gotten help the way Kyle did. I've been like the kid he almost killed, with my life in the hands of an addict who had no regard for my safety, and I wouldn't care for two seconds what they put me through if I knew they were committed to being sober like Kyle. Their sobriety would be the greatest gift. In some way, hearing Kyle's story heals some of that lingering hurt for me. It soothes me to know that there are people who can and do make that commitment. Thank you, Kyle.

@DavidBrowningBYD 8 лет назад

I know that feeling of emptiness, and that feeling of belonging when one first finds recovery. I know how it is hearing your own story come out of everyone else's mouths. Thank you for helping me reconnect to those feelings. I"m sitting here sobbing.

Such an inspiring talk. Kyle you are such a wonderful speaker and so honest!

@12Mac27 8 лет назад

@kylekriegerhair you inspire me everyday with your story! I've gone and am going through the same thing right now. Some days are amazing and some are just dark and I tend to go back to what makes me "happy". It's a daily struggle but when I see someone like you and how far you've come it just reminds me that I'm not alone and can push through. So I just thank you for sharing your story cause you don't know how much you've helped me and you may never know but I do.

@danishnajfi 4 года назад

Dude is amazing, the bravery and balls, i will never ever look at someone and judge again. Thank you young man, you are a brave soul.

@soldoutclothing 8 лет назад

this was a great share, thanks to kyle, i just stumbled upon it after watching another of his videos about manscaping. the one thing that really striking was that he jumped away from the story about the boy he gave ghb to who ended up in icu for two weeks. he didn't reach out to the boy after that? that guilt of giving him the drug would be so heavy and i'm sure it is for him but he just jumped to the next story...

@kamaropayne5226 6 лет назад

He is the most effective and powerful speaker I've seen in a very long time. I sit with tears running down my face; as my own struggle with addiction seems totally hopeless because of my chronic illness. A beautiful story; and wholly inspiring.

@DraeaTube 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for your courage! You are beautiful.

@TheBrianKarl 8 лет назад

Kyle, I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been watching your videos non-stop for a week, and you are one of the most charismatic, loving RU-vidrs I know. Keep being awesome!
