RWYS - Brandon Novak on Addiction and Recovery 

Good old Novak...I used to let him sleep at my house in west Chester when I went to school there. I lived across the street from his gf at that time Apple (Abby). Man we did a lot of drugs. Glad both of us are clean now. GL Novak!

Novak got me into a rehab in Florida, even though I relapsed, his story and hope gives me hope and inspires me to stay clean.

I have read a lot of comments about how annoying it is that Mr Novak repeats himself in every interview... Here is what I think.. ****Getting clean and staying away from the lifestyle and everything involved requires a lot... But one of the biggest that it requires is your very own "Sober Routine". I know because I was homeless for two years on Heroine, Fetynal and meth. (In that order, daily.😞) Which is why I feel like telling his story Is a huge part of his new healthy routine. Ya know.. Make appearances share his story to thousands or to one person, or maybe even just reflecting on it with himself.. it helps him remember the Evil place he was in and the Evil he did to himself, other's and to recognize where he truly is now. So I never get tired of watching him in his sober routine sharing his story because it makes me acknowledge my past and stay clean for one more day!! I've been clean for 5 months now!! I got a good job, a place to live, and most importantly I got my wife and kids back. I didn't think I was going to share all that lol but I'm glad I did....God bless. - Jordan

Brandon I have been clean 151 days now. I am inspired completely by your stories reading your books I had to take breaks because I walked the same lifestyle. When you say if your able to get clean anyone can do it. I feel the same way I did what I had to do to get that bag of heroine then it was fentynal I loved speed balling I would overdose and as soon as I was brought to my first thought was ok I'm ready for my next shot. It was horrible now that I look back on it. But at the time I thought I was living the life little did I know my addiction was alive while I was dead. Thank you for sharing.

Everybody thought that this guy was an idiot back in the day, including myself , he is living proof to never judge a book by its cover, he is incredibly smart and even inspiring

Novak and Jason Mewes from Jay and Silent Bob helped get me sober, crazy thing is both people actually reached out to help me. Sobriety is something that brings people together that you’d never imagine. Thanks to everyone that ever helped me or tried, and anyone out there in pain and tired of the bull shit just ask for help.

First Steve-o then Novak? Damn proud of you boys. Keep it up

I have so much respect for him...be is incredibly insightful and a powerful human

Watching this in rehab and his story helped before I came helped me realize there is hope

Brother. Thanks for helping me today!

I'm your ageish, you give me strength Brandon. My brother's name is the same as yours.....but I'm the struggling sister. You are amazing. I follow you. Your interviews always help. Keep doing it, if you choose. Your message is priceless. X

I related to this so damn much every word was in my head especially about relationships....the whole thing was me talking I swear....crazy how similar we all are and how much people are actually alike

I ♥️ this 🐱...52 days sober 👍🏼🙏🏻♥️😊 Brandon has been such an inspiration🥰 God Bless y’all 🙏🏻

Great interview! So awesome Seth!

Thank u brandon. X

Probably the healtiest novak has ever looked its a beautiful thing and its so sad that bam is tearing him down when he cant even stay sober for a week

Damn Novak u are unique!! Keep climbing dude we'll be watching!!

Good story from this guy, glad to hear he is still sober. And that's one hell of a thick book there on the table!

Amazing to see how far he has come! Enjoyed that you asked him about his fashion as he now looks as if he does care as he look clean and healthy.

This has to be the best Brandon Novak has ever looked.

Been clean for 4 years now after a bad opiate addiction. See Novak every so often (I live in West Chester, not sure if he still lives here) ... Never said anything to him but always followed his story from afar. If we can do it anyone can. Hardest part was the first 6 months, just not imagining being happy in life not using drugs ... About a year later I remember one day thinking to myself, I had gone a few days without thinking about drugs. Best thing I did was learn how to make serotonin naturally through downhill mountain biking, which replaced my addiction and gave me that rush my body was craving. Don't do NA but I've been to hundreds of meetings and use a lot of what I learned there everyday.

God Bless

Way to go bro You the man

Right on Brandon, wish I could do what you do

Proud of your Novak!!!!!!

Super impressive need to meet this man

I'm minutes away from losing everything do to a relapse. 5 year's clean and COVID-19 has taken all my employment opportunities away, I'm struggling to pay bill's and feed my 2 children. Sometimes I just wanna fade away and hope that the next life is better than this one. Congratulations to everyone who has overcome addiction and managed to stay clean, you deserve true happiness. 💚💚💚

Word i got a year clean today. Good shit novak

I just love watching Brandon he's such an inspiration funny charmingI mean I just love watching Brandon his stories just absolutely it home for me I love this dude ❤️

Great way to look at it. Your flaws are now your assets. I understand what you mean.

I have never picked up a drug, I have had a very blessed life that I never went down that road. I have watched it destroy so many people though and this dude gives me so much hope for my friends. He is really inspiring even if you have never used personally.

AWESOME!

You are my hero dude

You are an inspiration dude. Im still stuck in the bullshit somehow. 20 years not sober

Love you novak you helped me get clean ....8yrs in june 2024

What a philosopher

documentary ,,,luv docs...gonna try and track it,,,

I love him so much!!!!!

That’s better then anything to be seen

Omg I've been in love for years ❤ cheers to you

The difference is taking the true time to fix ourselves and be courageous enough to take our disappointments head on ...You can't drive a car on a blown out tire remember that

Absolutely great interview

Yeah Novak a miracle from the Most High.

Never really liked Novak but after watching this he grew on me a little

its fucking amazing his recovery!

Just subbed bro

I am a recovering alcoholic and I’ve heard most of Brandon’s speeches! I wish at this point he would speak different words! He just repeats his same phrases and even says it the same! Just feels like he is just smart enough to sell this not speak on up to date life and changes!

I need more such a big help

Starts talking about Bam 31:00

Novak you're wrong, adolophine is the name given to the synthesis that replaced morphine because they got cut off from medication and synthesis chemicals so the only drug they could make to keep him well at that point was methadone. Methadone was adolophine

Novak you really look so healthy and good shocked to hear about bam hope he gets back to himself and off whatever he’s taking

He is a good eksempel of not giving up👏👏👏

His clean date is coming up

He is really relatable

Peace Family

His heart socks are adorable

Still fighting this opiate addiction....I had 10 days but fuked up yesterday...got a few subs Ima just take pieces of it and ween down off it all

Go down to Kensington Avenue

where you get that dr evil outfit?

He got sober through AA, if you want to follow the same path!

The Rehab Guru!

Dolphine is the medical term for Methadone. Adolf hitlers favourite drug was Methamphetamine (a completley different drug).

How is having crdit cards successful?

Rad channel!!

dude speaks in poetry..

Hes said this story almost word for word in every interview ive watched lol

Dolophine is brand name for Methadone not Morphine and it is not named after Hitler.

"The program" becomes the new addiction. You certainly don't have to be in the program to have a spiritual experience or achieve sobriety. I've been thru the program so i know what it is. Don't get me wrong: for many, it's the only solution.

If you can do it n make it I can too. 15 months off all but thc.

Novak is the fucking man

I fucking LOVE you Novak

Groundhog day life repeat each time

Brandon "8 scarves 2 jackets 1 sock" Novak

I havent pushed play but I'm guessing hes going to talk about being a pro at a young age and running for Gatorade on a tredmill next to Michael jordan and being a top selling author....letts seeee

It’s too good to be true, hope he is sober and hope he keeps it up...

Adolophine is the name of Methadone, but close enough. Morphine is morphine, or Laudnum or diacetylmorphine (heroin). Regardless I can't stop watching this guy, he's a true influence on the world.

Him and james Franco have real similar voices.

I want to give Novak his astrological birth chart reading!!

I don't know how anyone can get off opioids/ opiates... that's been my problem for 13 years... a day without is catastrophic. I used to think it was impossible, but that is definitely why his career choice works... like someone else in the comments said; "it's a constant reminder to not fall back to where you've been."... and don't get me wrong, any addiction to any substance or thing can be detrimental and all consuming... but opioids/ opiates are an entirely different animal... ugh

Saturn cleaned up his Scorpio and Sagittarius houses in the past 5 years. Transiting his Venus, Uranus, Sun, Neptune, Mercury , & Mars planets (inner conditioned Archetypes), helping him change and discipline (Saturn) his life

Wait i thought he died hes still alive?!!!!

Pewp on meh Herron Novak

this dude with his corduroy jacket and golden microphones haha

Dolphine is methodone

This really took me the distance goddamn...

Defects becoming biggest assets!!!

No matter what question u ask him every interview is exactly the same

3:15 10:10 12:00

Why do people keep inviting him on podcasts - He says the EXACT SAME THING verbatim in every single interview

I listen to this at least once a month....I never gave a fuck about jackass or skateboard this guy is just...idk I relate

Not that long Mr Interviewer?!! Do you even know what it takes to get ONE week?!

Watching this while I sit hear smoking percs. I need help.

i thought you walked into rehab with ripped clothes after getting robbed when you was scoring 40 dollars of gear??

10 bucks for a baggie in the states?! Its over 20 here in canada. Fuck.

The spiel is equal to an ungodly amount of time listening to self-proclaimed Yogi's speak of how much wisdom they've gained through suffering continuously listening to that spiel produced a robot like response in a social situation where your sobriety and Sanity is in question... duh!!!
