Don't be sad dude , be proud ! A lot of people will benefit from this video . I'd also bet your old stoner friends want to be sober also but not sure how and you're an example that its possible .

I am proud. Very proud. I’ve worked very hard and had to make a lot of tough decisions. I’ve also had plenty of bad days. But yeah, unfortunately I try not to live in the past, but when you are reminded of it, or when it comes up, there is a lot to be sad about, but also a lot to look back on and be proud of how far we have come. I’m not just saying this for my own experience, but more is a generalization for all people that go through things, not just anxiety, depression substance abuse, it’s all the same. Much love to you, I appreciate you being kind and reaching out. If you ever need a friend to talk to you please, Instagram or email me and I will help you anyway that I can.

Hi there, just came across this video. Don’t know you but I am so very much rooting for you! My grandfather was a mean drunk. Beat on my grandma and would be gone 2 or 3 days before coming home again. My mom was the oldest of his 6 kids. By the time my aunts and uncles grew up, none of them wanted anything to do with him. He died a sad lonely old man. I really wished I had knew a different grandfather and how different things would have been if he wasn’t a drunk. You are young and have so much to look forward to, you really do. We are our worst critics though. People see us differently than we see ourselves. Please don’t be hard on yourself but be resolute in being your best self. I admire your honesty. Every day is a new day. Keep doing what you’ve been doing. We all should always work on being a better person than we were the day before. Wishing you the best. Take care of yourself and God bless!

90 days sober today. 50 years old. 20 years wasted. Hang in there. I sympathize with the anxiety attacks mate. Would not wish them on my worst enemy. Next time, try to remember they are just fear of fear. Try and imagine you are standing next to yourself and observing how you are reacting. Helps anchor you. Will probably subside now you have packed everything in. YoYoing brain chemistry like a see saw def didn't help with them. I used to get them far about a decade in my 20s to 30s. Drove to A&E, laying on the floor praying not to die right now, the whole lot.... Been there mate. Using alcohol to self treat anxiety is like trying to get out of debt using payday loans. It might work for a night but it will come back worse. Best stay away. It will get better and it will get easier. Good luck.

Hey man, I just found your channel from your recent video where you were messed with by two losers smoking a cigarette. I’m now watching all of your videos. I just want to say that I’ve struggled with these same issues and unfortunately I still struggle. I haven’t relapsed with coke, and I hope I never do, but the struggle hasn’t ended for me. I’m happy for you and I hope you keep fighting. You seem like an awesome dude and I want to keep seeing your content, so don’t go anywhere! I’m actually hoping to start making camping, fishing and off roading content when I can get my Toyota LandCruiser ready for the trails (which might take a while). If I ever do, it would be really cool to collab with you. I’m in Las Vegas but if you ever see this maybe we could actually make it happen lol. Keep it up bro. WE got this!

I can’t condone replacing substances with other substances. But good on you for at least making progress, although I do encourage you to just put it all behind you and find healthy outlets. Exercise really helped me. So do my hobbies that I used to enjoy substances in conjunction with. Now I immerse myself in the hobbies and exercise, even more which are healthy for me and realize how much better everything is without the substances.

Glenn, from Stealth Camping Adventures, who removed his channel, admitted he drank a lot. He had a great channel, and seemed to have quit, during his adventures. I hope he didn’t hit the bottle again, that made him remove his channel. Statistically, young people don’t drink as mush as they used to.

Much respect to you for this video…you are light years ahead of where you think you are. Let go of your regret for what you think you wasted. None of it is a waste as it it brought you to this place. Stay the course….you have a special something that you bring to this platform. Continue to be real and continue with the honesty…they are qualities that most are unwilling to share with others…but it is why I connected to your channel.
