The Ripple Effect and Victimization 

After five years I’m working in an environment where everyone still socializes with alcohol. Having lived in a bottle of scotch for most of my 20s, I chose life. Dried out. The adjustment has been weird, as coworkers like my personality and want to go drink. I bow out; it’s funny, because they don’t know how bad I’ve been and how much I don’t want to remember/relive those days because it’s oh so simple. Rambles aside, I wanted to commend you for your candor and inspiration. Cheers.

This is a powerful message. I get that 12 steps can work for some people but it can also be destructive and disempowering by removing personal responsibility. I'm an alcoholic by most definitions, I just decided to stop 4 months ago mainly because I wanted to lose 50lbs of fat (done now, and I'm back in the gym rebuilding my muscle I used to have), and it was easy. It's easy when you have another priority that matters more to you.

I appreciate your videos, being a victim of yourself is so profound. Valid and rings true to my own journey

I’m so glad you’re back on here. I just wanted to tell you that I am 10 months sober from alcohol and your videos were one of the main things early on that made that possible for me and it means a lot.

I'm with ya brotha! Followed you on tiktok really enjoy your content. And I wish you nothing but the growth and success. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

So grateful for your authenticity & transparency Remember you're enough just as you are.. the tecky stuff is fun but not necessary for your followers. We love you for you. The lights and mic just helps us see YOU and hear YOU better my dear 😁✨🙏💛

Dude, im glad you´re back. totally resonate with me, but still strugglin. continue what you´re doin! great work

I’m trying to get sober at the moment and your videos help so much. 🙏🏻 Looking forward to the eventual podcast! 🤩

Are you well, Kyle? Your videos helped me early on in my sobriety, I’m going on 8 years clean.

Another awesome video man - it left me with a lot of different thoughts. I really liked the Bruce Lee/Krishnamurti sort of mindset/philosophy at the end there when you told us that these are your tools/beliefs and we're supposed to pick the ones we like and disregard the rest. We should have the same mindset about everything else in life - books, philosophies, talks, etc. You pick the best parts from different sources and create your own philosophy, instead of blindly following someone else's path.

I believe in you, Kyle. And the most important thing is believing in yourself. Here’s to you growing channel. Review the new move Talk To Me!

Glad to have you back. Ive checked your youtube channel periodically to see if youve posted any new vids (like I did tonight). I dont have the other socials just use youtube these days. Just wanted to say I'm glad to see your posting again always apriciate your insight brother.

Here’s how I resolve the “is it a disease?” debate. People can bring diseases on themselves because of their own actions. That doesn’t mean it’s not a disease. People bring diseases on themselves on the time. Lung cancer can be caused by smoking, we all know smoking is bad for your health, but that doesn’t mean lung cancer isn’t a disease. I think that upholds personal responsibility while honoring the medical and psychological reality of addiction. 🖤

Thanks for sharing this. And I'm looking forward to your horror novel reviews.

I agree we are in charge of ourselves. We are what happens to the universe. We have to take out power back. Accountability and responsibility. Life happens but we have the power how we are to respond.

I watched your videos all the time in the spring of 2018, trying to stay sober but always fell back to drinking. It was painful. I used to go to bed drunk af, put one of your videos on my speaker hoping the message would come through. Eventually got sober in july 2018 and have stayed so since. Obviously life took a complete 180 and everything is so good for me now. In that regard I have nostalgia for your style of doing these vids, just you talking to the camera and no flashy intros or music. Please don't put any music on the background at LEAST! 😂 Thanks for sharing your story and experience, it's valuable.

I’m glad you made a decision that was healthy for you. I respect that. I think if you can drink responsibly and in moderation that’s one thing. If you’re not drinking to party and or get drunk that’s a different story.

Thank you for sharing Kyle 🙏🫶

It’s so true when it comes to influencing others…! I’ve started my gym regimen in June and it definitely affected some of my closest friends. Also, in music. Some have reached out to ask about ways to go about it so they can also succeed. It’s a really cool feeling to be able to help by example… anddddddd … how cute r u on getting better w the videos? I’m the same exact way hahahah . Get it! ❤

Doing all this and working full time, GO YOU!!!

Can't wait for graveyard reviews!!!

I’d love to see you do scary Movie reaction videos. Son of Elvira! ~ The sobriety message is important & needed tho

Just followed from Tik Tok 🤘

Os pais dos meus sobrinhos estão se separando por causa de vinícius, então estou preocupada porque eu vou ter que cuidar talves adotar, o pai deles vai para clinica ... ainda estou conversando com a minha mãe para ver como eu posso ajudá-los.. acho que o seu livro seria uma das melhores opções né para iniciar esse processo do meu primo...📯

Para promover a inovação e gerar empregos, é crucial adotar práticas sustentáveis no solo e no meio ambiente. Isso pode incluir investimentos em tecnologias verdes, agricultura sustentável e energias renováveis, criando oportunidades de emprego nessas áreas. Além disso, programas de treinamento para capacitar as pessoas nas novas tecnologias e práticas ambientais também contribuem para impulsionar o emprego. A integração de políticas públicas e parcerias entre governo, setor privado e sociedade é fundamental para garantir o sucesso dessas iniciativas. Você bem que moderia a me ajudar nesse projeto né 🤗 o que você acha ? 😙
