Find support like I did for help from anywhere in the world: aa-intergroup.org/meetings/ You can always email me your story to timkyoutube@icloud.com to reach out to change, share advice, or your personal success story of encouragement. I never wanted to share this story until now because I never thought that with Gods help I would make it this far.
Tim, my Filipina wife and I have always loved you and supported, and cheered for you and Chrissy.....we were drawn to you both, and now I understand why. Redemption, strength and the love of God are things that shine through to others, without having to speak. Angelica and I have been together 6 years, and her presence in my life has changed me and helped me evolve into a loving, secure and complete husband and partner. I came from a childhood of abuse and troubles that led me to spend half my life from childhood into my 30s in foster care, institutions and prison. I began my life at age 31, still carrying the baggage from those early years, which evolved into a substantial addiction of drugs and alcohol. Coming out of a 15 year marriage I met Angelica through completely unplanned circumstances here in Alberta. Canada. She brought into my life support, strength, and shined God's light onto my sometimes dark soul. As we move forward, our family which has grown by 2, now including her two beautiful teenage sons, now 14 and 16, I see her and our marriage as a gift from God, who knew exactly what we both needed in our lives. We love watching your life with your family, and we wait for the time when we'll move to the Philippines and live out our years . Stay strong Tim, this nonsense that's invaded your life shall pass, you're in our prayers. Sorry if this seems a little disjointed as a comment, but I'm trying to encapsulate a lot into a very small paragraph without going on and on. If you're compelled, comment with your email, and I'll gladly share more. Sending love and blessings, John & Angelica
Thank you Tim this was a wonderful message I couldn't hold back the tears because I've also gone through this and it was definitely GOD that helped me 😢
@@TimKyoutube Hi Tim From NZ. Sorry to but in to this conversation But was hoping I can get through to you this way as it sends straight to your profile by pressing reply on this, So you wont miss. I been watching you for ages (since Harald started making videos with you so I guess the start or around and was introduced to you through Harald videos) I myself am 34 and had as a teen a terrible addiction to codeine phosphate (opiates) I smoked a bit of Ganja with friends and sometimes drnking and then people on occasion started to offer codeine which was incredibly then easy to get and which I straight away liked and slowly began to take more often until one day realised was taking daily and was very hard to try stop. I ended up stealing and lying and getting in trouble a bit with law and I got off it and the last time at age 17/18 dad for 3rd time took me to India and mostly Himalayas again and spent about 6 months mostly in Himalayas where I became very heathy and fit and no opiates I also gained a lot off weight when I was on opiates in nz and lost huge amount in Himalayas. Back in nz I stayed away for a long time from opiates and etc But sadly a while alter started to take again and ended up on methadone programme (I have thankfully never touched a needle or taken heroin or even morphine and I even look like I never took drugs as I still looked after myself as I was just swallowing painkillers But I didnt know a way out and I went on methadone. I am on it now and want away from it (I dnt take any drugs anymore but am on methadone as I said) It also lowers your testosterone apparently (not completly but at least In part) I have gained also the last 4/5 years a lot of weight back. I just want life to change and for me to do more. Actually years ago (like 7 years back) I hung out on occasion with a nice filipino girl who was working in nz in a hotel and she was incredibly genuine , kind hearted and religious and I had to keep her at arms length bcos I did not want to get close until I cleaned by act up (she did not have a clue about that I was on methadone and etc) She ended up going back to the Philippines which I was actually happy about bcos I honestly found it hard with her in nz although that 100% should of been a motivation for me!! Anyway I dnt know what to do any more to tell the honest truth. I would love to just pack up and head overseas to india or even the Philippines but I cant just do that. I will I believe figure things out. And thank you sincerely for your story. To have a wife pray for you every night shows someone that has a lot of love and concern. As for those creeps like Andy Omar and co I watch their stuff on occasion and find it absolutely disgusting and atrocious. Most of these guys have almost no subscribers including Andy who has had about 4k for years as most people dont want to watch some enraged and jealous "RU-vidr" if you can call him that go on and on and on about an actual RU-vidr with absurd claims or attacking you bcos you had an issue with a alcohol and etc. I send a long msg back to the dork which he did not like. As he had a video of you years ago attacking you for this and that and I replied with the difference between then and now (not that you were overly bad person then but still is drastic changes and he just said , Ok thanks for replying 3 years later") I will show you msg I sent him if I can find it ,, it left him angry I think ..anyway thanks for all you do and keep striving forward or as Andy Omar says "I need to make less psycho obsessed "content" so my channel gets more then a few thousand subscribers " (most of whom by look of his views never watch) Anyway thanks brother and hope to meet you one day in The Philippines ..
Thank you for being honest and real as you always are. And please don't let those two dumb asses on RU-vid who are trolls get to you and your family. Live your life and honestly take a break from social media and focus on you. You're blessed and highly favored.
Congratulations on your sobriety, Tim!🙌🏼💕👌🏼 You have a beautiful family… and nothing’s worth risking losing them. Prayers for you all that God continues to protect you… 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
As a young boy I seen first hand the struggles of alcoholism. My mom was an alcoholic. I watched her get so drunk that I feared her…I also was with her at AA meetings. She got sober but fell off the wagon a few times. At her death she was 25 years sober. I hated to see her struggle (and the family) but I loved her perseverance to love god and her family more than alcohol. I was so proud of her and loved her with all my heart ❤️ Keep up the good fight Tim
Tim, many times I've scrolled passed your channel but this time I clicked on it so if you harbor any doubts about posting this video, let me tell you that it comes as a blessing to me. I am a continuing alcoholic like most veterans who have fallen off the wagon many times but your story has inspired me to give it another try and hopefully this time I will stay on for the rest of the journey. Thank you my brother for what is needed on this most blessed day.
@horacesubayar794 as a veteran I thank you for your service and will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏻 Alcoholism is something I battled everyday and I can tell you we need the support and prayers of others to stay strong. God Bless you on your journey 🙏🏻.
Hi Tim: Thank you for sharing that. I struggled for several years myself (with alcohol). It took me about 2 years as well to be comfortable telling my story. I took 6 months just to be able to sit somewhere like a restaraunt, bar, or party and just say "No Thanks, I don't drink", if I was asked to partake. I agreee that you have to turn your life over to God in these matters, the sickness of addiction is just too powerful to beat alone. Happily, on November 1st of this year I hit my 38th year of sobriety. I'm quite proud of that, but I never lose sight of the fact that every day must be taken one day at a time. You just keep doing what you're doing. Keep a smile planted on Chrissy's face with regard to your sobriety and your conduct, and you'll be on the right path for sure. I would love to exchange some email if you're up for it. Congrats on your 2 years!
Thank you for the support. Congratulations on the years put together old timer. I appreciate the kind comments. Yea, I'm at the 2 year mark.... so new but not brand new. I dont really struggle very often and it passes quickly when it does. you can email me anytime at timkyoutube@icloud.com
I have struggled with addiction in my past. And lost two younger sisters to it. Drugs and alcohol steal your soul. And only you can save yourself. But it requires belief in a higher power. Well done my man. Great message. Not easy.
Tim... Just started watching this video! JESUS HAS YOU AND UR FAMILY IN THE CENTER OF HIS HANDS! KEEP HIM #1 AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL RIGHT INTO PLACE! YOU ARE A KINGS KID AND UR WIFE HELPED PRAY YOU THRU!! GOD IS SO GOOD!! ALL THE TIME!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU TIM!!!
I've been drug-free since 2012 and alcohol-free since 2014 and I never forget to give God the praise and the glory for what he delivered me from. Thank you for your testimony Tim.
Sobriety is not for the weak ! It is only through the Grace of God that I am alive today! 10 Years sober here ! I remember my last drink and the moment I had decided to take my life back.. It was not easy. Great job, Tim..One day at a time ❤
Nik from New Zealand here mate - 18 years sober from a very destructive severe alcohol addiction. Tim, the first couple of years are the hardest, so it gets easier and easier from here - you, your family and "real" friends will support your journey, and walk with you through it - 2 years is a massive achievement, I know how hard it is, and the willpower it takes. Well done Tim - and Chrissy is all class!!

I was bullied when I was growing up . At school and at home. My classmates were going out of their way to put me down. Even hit and attack me. If I defend myself I’m the 1 in trouble. I became angry. Then a video game addiction. I had an anger problem with the video game addiction. At work I had a boss who changed me. I’m glad she cared to do it. She wasn’t forced to. She did it because she cared.
I never knew about your struggle and yet your transformation has been an example to help inspire me! I watched you go from chasing red horse to building a dream life and family over the years. As a viewer you seems to create it out of sheer will and desire to have the life you wanted and not accept and hardships and a new normal. What a demonstration of strength and faith to put this out knowing it will help some and empower some less than honorable souls. Thank you! You never talked about it, you just showed me what was possible ....
Actually Tim I finally quit drinking the Cheap. Gut rot Malt liquor I already know I am done I have always found the power to stop all the rapid have done throughout the years I think I would compare it Red Hoarse If you like to hear more let.me.know. Take Care
Cheap Charlie is a good inspiration for this, he was not a prolific alcoholic but he’d get in trouble when he drunk, i respect that he stopped. Well done to you both.
Stay strong my friend. That is a massive change of life. We are all with you Timmoy 🙏you have done the correct thing and changed for the better. You have a good wifey and lovely Son. Things can only get better. 🙏🙏🙏
My sober date is 02-03-2020!! Life is so much better. I am in a 12 step program, it works for me. Hugs and love to the man in the video!! It is just what I needed tonight!! SOBRIETY ROCKS!
Great work! I'm coming up on 9 years sober. The thing that resonates most with me in times of weakness, is to remind myself that im such a better man without alcohol. I would not have met my wife in the Philippines had I not stopped drinking. Everything in my life has improved since I got sober. Stay strong bro.
Tim, thanks for being so honest with all your viewers (the entire world!). Addiction is one of the hardest battles a person can go through in life! It's not just a battle, it's a war. So one day at a time, is truly what you have...living in the moment! Truly, congratulations Tim! I'm 66 years old and have been battling drug addiction since my early 20's. So I truly understand where your at in life! I've been clean now for 3 years, 4 months. The longest period in my life clean, since my late teens! Believe me I've destroyed many things in my life, and I to have said I'm sorry so many times that people didnt believe it anymore! (Family). One day at a time is all I had, and I think how hard I fought to keep just one day at a time! I will e-mail you! Thank you for sharing and thank you for reading my comment. Best regards my friend! Your in my prayers! Brian M. 😊
I respect your honesty Tim, good to know you are in a happier place now. You are blessed to have such a supportive wife as Krissy, and most importantly her unceasing prayers for you.
Emotional and inspiring testimony. There are times we wonder why we are where we are, and it seems apparent now that meeting Chrissy and the pandemic keeping you hostage there was no accident. Praise the Lord.
Both had an incredible amount to do with it. I hated everything about the coof, but in some ways I was forced to change my life. Your comment speaks the truth. Thank you.
Awesome and God Bless You! You will be on my prayer list! I now have full respect for you. You are actually helping me out by just sharing what u have gone through, good job Tim! You're a good God Driven Man!
Awww Tim....We may not share the same view on religion but, you are truly someone I respect immensely and consider a brother, even though we have never met. Thank you for your knowledge and incredible personal insight for us who live outside of the Philippines but, who have loved ones there. You and your family are loved man.
Congrats on 2 years of sobriety Tim, I’m proud of you. I’m coming up to 3 months of no alcohol after years of drinking. It’s tough but I knew I needed to get my health and sanity back in gear. Thanks for sharing your experience
Well done Tim. Two years and you're still moving in the right direction is a good thing, mate. We all go through tough times in life... Man, I could go on and on with many stories about my struggles in life. Thanks for sharing. The best way to stay sober is to talk about it... tell the people around you and get it all out in the open. Less chance of letting people down, including yourself that way.
3 or so years back i knew you had some sort of problem but did not know what it was...SO glad to hear you tell and so glad your fighting to get better . Keep it up brother so proud of you right now .
Recovery is about humility and taking full responsibility, focus on the solution, let go of blaming, thinking life should be fair, look only at your part in everything. Self centeredness is the root of thinking that leads to drinking. It’s a process of action, action, action. Half measures avail nothing. Go all in. Only look at your part. Chrissy - what an amazing woman I respect so much
Hi Tim I have now been sober for 13 years now in December, the first few years were tough for me too, but it gets easier as the years go by, now today I have a wonderful life with my 25 year younger Filipina wife and my little daughter in 3 years, we now live in my home country which is Norway. After moving from the Philippines during the onset of covid. Financially, many people are struggling now, but we are just fine, thanks to the fact that I work as much as I can to take care of my family. Wishing you and yours a great future together, Tim Congrats on your 2 years!
Huge respect for posting this video Tim. It takes courage to be willing to lay bare your flaws and vulnerabilities. You have exposed your humanity and I think that your RU-vid Channel now has a purpose. This video will change hearts and save lives. We all have watched Chrissy grow into a beautiful and charming woman from the young lady she was when you all married. But Chrissy isn’t the only one who has experienced growth. Thank you for sharing the amazing beauty of the Philippines and the joys, trials and tribulations of life in the province. But most of all thank you for giving us a glimpse of your amazing family and a template for what a happy life should be like.
It seemed a bit disingenuous when he includes a sponsored third party advertisement. This is something personal, not commercial endorsement. What do you think?
Tim the answer is right there just infront of you, the man whose singing having the simplest way of comforting himself, no cares in life and listening only to himself singing...i think sometimes we just have to listen to ourselves to really understand who we really are and what we really want in life...
The first year (or 2) is such an extreme change that it affects your mental health. I had to almost be medically induced into a coma after not responding following 4 seizures. When I came to and realized what I had done to myself, I said that was it. But the mental rollercoaster can be dangerous. Natural highs and really low lows. But one day at a time. Trusting in my higher power and the fellowship of like minded people has helped me. It’s saved my life. Addiction does not discriminate. If you’re struggling and reading this, it does get better. I actually committed to admitting myself to 1 program a year and go to meetings, even if they’re just online. Recovery is possible!!
My husband and I have been watching you for along time. We will both pray for you and your family. Thank you for sharing something personal. Just remember there isn’t anything or anyone bigger than God. He will walk you through all these trials. 🙏🙏
I go to weekly meetings at church. It is from the love of God in our life. Men meet with men and women with women. I am grateful for your sobriety and sharing. Peace and love to you and may God bless you one day at a time. You are worth it. Stay grateful Tim.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your story with us. It takes a genuine person to put themselves out there like that. We all have our vices and faults. Great message, cheers!
I’m an RN back in the states. I currently take care of vets but also worked at an addiction center. The struggle, devastation, and personal loss in both family and friends is at times overwhelming. I don’t know you but I wish you well. You helping others is really important.
Wow, Tim! Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt story. I know from my own experience how difficult it is to share those deepest feelings with another soul, and I'm very grateful that I was able to be present for your humble 'coming out' from behind the dark veil of alcoholism. I am now 39 years sober, and every day that has gone by wouldn't have been possible without that same fellowship that guided you through those darkest moments and into a new beginning. I'm a. Vietnam vet, but I know I brought my alcoholism with me to boot camp. Made it out honorably by the skin of my teeth and rose and fell spectacularly for the next fifteen years, until I was diagnosed with alcoholic hepatitis and was given a poor prognosis for survival unless I stopped drinking that day. Being a true alcoholic, and since I was already drinking at 11am that day, I continued to drink but woke the next morning with a firm resolve to never take another drink...for the umpteenth time. Long story short, that was July 22, 1984, and this time I made it. But I only made it with the help and support of my family and with the fellowship of others living the same struggles as I did. Twenty years after my first drink, I went to work first for the Navy, and then the VA, as an addictions counselor and was able to give back much of what I'd learned from others over those years. I wish you and Chrissie the very best in your continued journey toward a full and meaningful life without alcohol. And thanks once again for showing the world that recovery is possible...it works if you work it! lol
Congrats on beating those demons Tim. Your videos clearly show you are a good man. I would like to see you do two things now. 1. Use that same will power to get your health in order. As an over 40 guy myself, I found I had to cut to 2 relatively small meals and cut the carbs in a big way. That will help alot and improve your mental well being and quality of life (from personal experience). You can do it. 2. Stop replying to guys like Andy Omar and PhillyinthePhilippines. Take the high road. Every reply you make just adds oxygen to their vile. A smart person once said "Great minds talk about ideas. Small, petty minds talk about people." 7th ID (Light) Cav pilot here. Fight light and freeze at night!
That is just wonderful, so glad that you've made so much progress and we can sure tell. Chrissy is a fabulous partner for you to have by your side praying for your success and happiness. Bless her with your prayers and godly stewarding of your foamily.
Congrats Tim. A few days ago was the 7 year sober mark for me. I feel great and am thankful to God I was able to quit and improve my health many fold. Best to you and your family.
Hi From Canada Tim. Yes your right life is about fighting our demons. It's never easy to choose the right path but with help of others and under Gods hand and Krissy's support and prayer brought you from the darkness to the light. Congratulations and all the best in the future ahead one day at a time. Thanks for your inspiring words. Many will benefit from this video. Thank You.
I lost my first wife to drugs and alcohol on February 13, 2007 when I took her off of life support because she had no brain activity. That day also happens to be my grandmother's birthday. That same night my older brother was coming to the hospital to be there when I took her off of life support. When he was on his way to the hospital he got into an accident and totaled his car due to the inclement weather going down a steep hill. Thank God that he wasn't really injured and that almost turned out to be a nightmare. I ever turned to drugs or alcohol to ease my pain because I have a true hatred for what it has caused. The thing that helped me to get through everything, even though I have suppressed most of the pain, were the many prayers that I got and my faith in God. We need to pray for everyone including our enemies. Anyway I'm happily married to my wife who is from the Philippines and life goes on. I decided to leave the pain in the past and try to better my life by loving life as best as I can.
Proud of you bud. Been with you since before day 1. You were hanging out with Harrald back then. You telling that story explains why you were belligerent at times on your videos. Very happy you wom that battle brother. Hold on to Jesus. Keep it up.
Mr. K you brought tears to my eyes i am happy your on that road to recovery feel you and the demons inside of you addiction is no joke any addiction mental health or other stay strong and trust your faith in God He or she will always shine down on you always God bless you and your lovely family ...
As you said Tim...Satan do not appreciate you turning your life around...he will try anything to bring you back to your old ways. For you to have shared your journey with us, your viewers are a huge step.....be sure we will all keep you in our prayers. Weldone and all glory to God being there every step of the way. Chrissie was sent to you....I have no doubt. You have a huge gem in that amazing lady. We all stand behind you on this difficult journey!!!!! Satan and haters will keep trying to bring you down....but in God we have his almighty support. You go Tim!!!!!!!!😊
Tim, I am pleased to hear your story of your addiction. I remember a couple of years ago when I got upset at you after viewing one of your videos when Chrissy was getting tipsy with you. This was especially upsetting to me and I remember voicing my concern at that point to you. I served for 33 years in the military and I sat around fellow servicemen who were responsibly having a beer and others who would get plastered and get into trouble with their careers. I was worried about your new family and keeping it intact. I've seen alcohol destroy a lot of military members over the years I served. You and Chrissy inspire me and you are living a dream I had hoped to live someday. I am glad to hear of your sobriety and attempt to better your life. I am glad to hear of your sobriety and attempt to better your life. Wishing you a good journey through this.
I too quit walking down that road of destruction at the age of 35, I'm 67 now and can say it was the best decision of my life. Was it easy? Hell no, but nothing worth doing is rarely easy. Congrats on 2 years. Keep going in the direction you are traveling Tim, as you say it is one day at a time. The destination is never reached, just keep building a stronger you and a stronger connection to the creator.
I am 58 I was a wreckless alcoholic and weed smoker until I quit cold turkey (literally overnight) over 25 years ago. I understand the struggle to stay clean and sober and cigarettes, because I tried to quit several times before I figured it what worked for me. Im going to share my technique. 1. Be sure you have studdied within yourself famaly and friends, so yhat you can see the destruction it caused and the life changing benefits you wil/have acheived by choosing Sobriety. 2. I failed when I TRIED to quit. That left to many daily opportunities to fail. So I fell off the wagon several times even though I was really Trying. 3. My last day of drinking came when I took a more drastic approach. I stopped TRYING TO QUIT..instead I decided that I have had enough and actually JUST QUIT. It was way more final/permanent for me. After a day or two I already started to feel like I quit. Not trying to stay Sober/clean, but living to embrace the outcome. I gained about 15lbs because i sobstuted candy and snacks until the craving starting spacing out. Then after about 2 weeks I looked in the Mirror as a new man. I felt so good about my futur, which is still financially challenging, but my Sober brain can handle anything. 3. Drugs, Alcohol and Cigarettes are poison to me AND my Family. So I would no more take a drink than drink a bottle of poison. 4. Now I dont need to drink to deal with my shame...i am proud of who Ive become. Im stronger, smarter and wiser. Because I QUIT and feel good sbout it, I no longer count the days or years. Now being Sober is just who I am...proud. Hopefully my technique can help someone else who is still TRYING to quit. Congratulations to you for your succes! Now get out there and actually Enjoy the rest of your life. I found this video while researching the expat Life, but I'm going to sub your channel to watch you grow. GOOD JOB💪
Hey Tim- I was so humbled and grateful to hear your message today. What a power of example video you shared. I’ve been with you on RU-vid for a while now- and I started to see something change in your life. I actually said to myself: I think this guy is getting clean and sober. When I was back in Southern Leyte (Maasin) in 2022 seeing my in-laws and property my partner and I own, I saw your Jeep parked… I didn’t want to barge in and bother you- but it made me smile seeing that you were in the area. Next year I hope our paths do meet- I’ve been on this clean and sober path for a bit now… and as you and I may say: I only have today. I too have many AA zoom home groups all over the world (I’m in NYC). Thanks for adding to my sober life and being a power of example. Joe F.
When I decided to stop partying all the time in my 20's I stayed in my house and didn't go out at all to keep away from everything that was leading me down a dark path. The devil still came for me at work. There is no escape when trying to change your life and habits. Something will always test you and try to bring you back. I never considered myself an addict and still don't to this day but my environment and the pain that I was in daily at that time was making it a problem. These days I have no interest in partying or hanging out in bars or anything like that. Still have a drink here and there but just a small amounts in social gatherings. Had I not done what I did I would have ended up like a lot of the people I hung out with. People who have no options and are financially ruined. I bettered my life at the right time before things got really bad and now have the option to move out of country or do whatever I want freely. Even those of us that can stop when we want to can get caught up in that life under the wrong circumstances.
I had a work colleague who unfortunately drank too much alcohol after work n early morning too. He saw the horror of war n lost many friends in the Gulf War where he was living in Kuwait n was invaded by the Iraqi troops. In the end he suddenly pass away due to a head knock n doctors turn off life support system. He was only 45. Such a waste Tim K 😢😢😢
I can see how much better you have done based just on your looks. You look much healthier than you did when I first subscribed. My late wife was sober for forty years and died sober. We had a much better life as a sober couple. Our marriage survived, because we were both sober.
Nice work Tim! I've been sober since June 10th 2021. It happens to be the anniversary of the founding of AA but I didn't plan it that way. I was tired of being an alcoholic and drove out to socal to take one last look at where I was born before I was going to take my own life. Instead, I ended up killing the person I was. I now have a serenity in life that I have never known. I'm writing a book about my sobriety journey but I'm taking my sweet time with it. Moving out to Cebu next year and plan on finishing it in the Philippines. Stay the course buddy.
I am very proud of you Tim for choosing the Godly way. There are many of your fellow Vets suffering here in the US and taking their lives. Pray for them as well.
Well said. Thank you. I'm a disabled vet who has struggled with this. Prayer has carried me through with a supportive family. Far too many vets aren't getting the support that they need. They served our country. They deserve our support and care.
Freedom from addiction = the life you are supposed to live = more Happiness, Peace, financial abundance and most of all you feel Love at a higher level. One is also able to overcome challenges without added stress. 😊
Back in 1986, I was told by a few people that I had a drinking problem. Of course, I denied it. I had a job and was very functional in my life, did I have a drinking problem? maybe, maybe not. Probably on certain days of the week mainly on weekends. So after a close call with the police. On January 01, 1987, I quit drinking. That lasted for 11 years. After that, I didn't have the urge to drink anymore. Of course, I do drink occasionally but it's not a problem anymore, I can take it or leave it. Best of luck to you and your family, I always enjoy your videos.
Hi Tim, you are on the right track, your family is number one and the Life you live right now is awesome. Keep up on what you believe and you will succeed. God bless all of you!!!
i died and come back GOD allow me to come back save my sons from what u went thru, angel move my son car from 2 semi s, on icy road, 3 days after i call him in militry 7 mo9nths no contact, GOD gave me the words out of my motuh u want to live or die, so we prayed .....brokje family curse...now he understand me and second son couploe months ago has now set free in Jesus name as for me, miracle each week here,
God Bless Tim so happy for you ❤I’m 15 yrs clean n sober I never thought I could say that but it’s true ;) I do partake in some marijuana use but where I live it’s legal and I don’t consider marijuana a drug it’s better to eat an edible for PTSD then to have to take benzos or antidepressants but that’s just me
I've been clean and sober for 17 years I can now go around people that are consuming alcohol and not even be bothered by it. Although I find myself not liking the company of people that are under the influence of drugs and alcohol keep up the good work Tim super proud of you man your life and your family is worth it. I lost my step dad and my uncle to alcohol super sad

Proud of you for your transparency and integrity and change. I’m very lucky and blessed I’ve never been tempted by smoking, drinking or drugs. I’ve never even felt the need to try smoking or weed or any drugs. And didn’t even try my first drink till 27 and didn’t really see the big deal. I don’t like beer. And I rarely drink maybe once or twice a year if that. Now I’m nothing special. I have other temptations and weaknesses. We all have our own sins and struggles. But keep up the good work being sober and god bless
honesty being humble true to yourself is the golden key. As I am sure you know you have a huge support system in the thousands of people who watch your videos. We all sit back(i am guilty of this) and wait for your next adventure on what your going to share with all of us. Again I thank you for sharing your stories and your family. Look forward on seeing some more. Open heart surgery for me nov 22nd please pump pump out some more content to keep me busy while in the hospital hahah. Rick AKA sonofseattle
