my story in active addiction 🥺🙏 

I was a drug addict for many years , drug dealing, involved in alot of violence, gambling addict, issues with alcohol.. changed my life , drug free for 14 years, gambling free, don't smoke or drink anymore amd now I work as a substance misuse worker with addicts , helping them change their mindset. I'm also part way through my degree im doing to become a counsellor..i suffere with depression and anxiety but manage it muself through fitness and diet and setting goals. if you have the right mindset and determination you can do and be anything you want to be.. keep up the good work venis 💪❤️

Great to hear Paul , keep doing what your doing cos it works 💯 One day at a time , Brilliant 👏🤞👏🙏

I wish I had these meetings when I got clean 20 years ago. Really struggling now with mental health it's just has hard to fight this. But one thing about recovery is you become good at the fighting. This is just the next chapter. Stay strong everyone.

Proud of you pal..we’re human we all make mistakes learn and grow 🙏🏻

Good honest man whos turned his life round but doesnt hold back on what hes done in the past respect mate

Been there myself Paul, I was on gear for over 25 years mate. I can relate to almost everything you've just said, crack is a very naughty drug it takes away everything that's good or positive in life. I was addicted to both crack and heroin, then methadone which was every bit as bad as the heroin if not worse, certainly more difficult to get off as the withdrawals are more extreme. Thankfully I've been clean now for about five years but the temptation of that pipe is always still there.

One of the hardest things about addiction is seeing the places u used to get onit or them faces u used to get onit with can even be a good mate or a pub

Not a good life is it the lifestyle kills you not the drugs your a good bloke now thats all that matters you only get one mother

All the best Paul. Lots of luv from Florida. 🙏🇺🇲🗽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

Thanks for this Paul I 2 am a recovering Alcoholic and drug addict. Responsibility and accountability are now my most used words. I'd love to speak to you sir our story is so similar

It’s a total nightmare being addicted to drugs I feel much better giving them up

Well done to you, Paul. Btw It was nice seeing that video of your daughter you put up. I bet that family unit keeps you going. Your daughter is a very beautiful little girl. Keep up the good work, big man.

A recovering addict Paul not an addict anymore . Your someone to look up to now mate. I for one love your honesty . Top man

Big up venis love you bro

BRILLIANT paul.....you have been honest of what grug u was takin..I'm 46 dont live far away frm mboro.. I'm yorkshire..I still struggle abit...put what u have just said on here is brilliant..the fifht side I only skim over coz I candle handle myself so it not new..but I've really changed my tune on u for. Been so honest..take care

This is the most humbler side I've ever hear toy spk pall uve got to of done it to talk about it..brilliant ❤ i 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I think if you really want the help it is there, you first have to face the fact you are an addict but more importantly if you put as much effort into participating in meetings as you would have done say trying to score during a "dry spell" you won't go far wrong brother. Shout out to your mum she sounds an inspiration !!

First time I have heard you talk about your past paul 🙏 bless mate you are the best person to be able to talk and tell these kids how bad and where it all ends up .. God bless paul keep up the good work 🙏❤

Good message well put across Paul.

U r a good lad paul takes a man to admit to your many fans me included

Best thing i ever done getting clean well into 20 years now xx

Absolutely solid video fella 💯👊🏽

I really enjoyed listening to you, and being so honest about your past, it's awe-inspiring how you've changed your life around.

I just love honesty I'm sure you understand it's important in certain circumstances not many make it as we pay a high price for our poor choices and the sad part is we don't see at the time we have to mess up often so we learn

I was brought up anti drugs, then had a bad accident, broke both my femur when i was 19. In hospital I was on epidural in my spine and had morphine on tap through a blue machine/dispenser. Then when i learned to walk and left hospital i was on liquid morphine and dihydracodeine, since then ive battled addiction. Ive had 7 years clean, relapsed, now on 1year clean. I know its gping to be a battle til i die

Great story Paul, top man

What a true inspiration you are, MR. V . YOU should be around every school in the United Kingdom telling all the school kids your story .. Well Done 👏

That's it . I'm done. Needed to see this video at this stage. Been addicted to destruction for far too long . Thankyou paul, I'll try my best. Family forever ❤

Mint video that pal ! ❤

Nothing but respect and bless you for sharing this... God bless Paul 🙏

Paul, godspeed......your openess is inspiring.....a little lost for words as i connect with every single point you make.....but still striving to follow through.......keep posting boss.......it helps us.👌🖐👐

We recover the person that we were intended to be 🤝

Takes a Real man to do what your doing paul respect to you big lad!

Well said Paul

It's a lifelong struggle isn't it Paul, having a purpose to get out of bed everyday plays a big part in scaffolding recovery.

I've done 40 days atm

I really respect the critical work you do for me I see a priceless gentlemen in you and I am also able to look into the mirror and love who I am

Very brave telling your story u must of been to hell and back to come through it makes u appreciate life when you live a clean life

Very well put indeed 👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve never suffered with addiction well maybe gambling but still being the last fool at party’s and carrying on when everyone had stopped and your story’s so familiar but so glad I came across you pal

The best video I’ve watched from this guy 👏👏

Ur a good man paul

Great talker mate One of the good ones on here

You know what always makes me laugh Paul, people who sniff coke and slag crack/heroin addicts off. I know many a man who were and still are undercover pipe fiends lol Thanks mate relate to the struggle and Insanity ❤

Paul give me a shout if you want a proper pad sesh dude Doing it proper you are 🙏

There’s 2 kinds of addicts tho bro the ones in denial and the ones that know they have a problem

Inspirational words bro ! 🙏

Massive respect Paul

Great to hear this can relate a lot..god bless ya don't go off RU-vid again mate..I'm an alcoholic in recovery over 3 years sober now best decision I ever made..just a quick question mate being in narcotics anonymous does that mean alcohol is out of bounds aswell as alcohol was also a gateway for other substances for myself just always been curious as as I only attended A.A myself but I imagine it's total abstinence the same as myself 👍🏻

Hope ya well bro try be strong for your family yeah 🤜🏻🤛🏻💙

Yeah I can 💯 resonate with this story m8. your mind and body looks strong and healthy now and your on right path. Ego is the killer of us all. I me self have done drugs since 13 on and off. Never full addiction but as the British life style is there is drink and coke round every corner and my binges where heavy also. But it was effecting family and my business at times. So been fully clean for 1 year now and I would never be going back to it, held me head high and said to every one I’m done with pubs and party’s and dnt invite me. Was hard a first but now life is just bliss. I think also m8 that lads like us are not build for this society we were properly worriers in past life and would done well in the older day. This way of living is not true to us and this is why people are forever numbing there selfs even if it’s with lots of coffee, sugar, takeaways… I honestly think people like that dumb down feeling to hide the true

may Allah bless you and your family
