i remember hearing/seeing him speak when i was in rehab 8 years ago. I didn’t stay sober, but by the grace of god i got sober and will be celebrating almost 6 years of sobriety in feb.
If u haven't heard it today, I'm proud of you!! I don't know you, but I can relate...I was an addict off and on for 16yrs.,after losing my brother to drugs in 2016 (he was only 25yrs. Old), I lost my other brother exactly 1 1/2 yrs. later(in 2018), also to the same thing(2 many IV drugs), that woke me up, well that along with my 4 kids... I can say this, I'm not COMPLETELY clean, I take subuxone, but I'm clean from all the pain pills that almost killed me! I'm not 100, but I'm working my ass off to prove I can and I will do this! But I saw ur comment and it touched me!!! So,here I am saying "I am so proud of you" keep going Queen, you got this!!!!
"Gods Truth" lies in this video-title and of course the c-section. Its so full of truth and bless, its amazing: ruclips.net/video/FdU2Bol04tI/видео.html&lc=Ugyywq6hpNY_2Vfq5vN4AaABAg
I hope I can do it as well.. Really want to change. I lost everything... My family, my wife, my friends, my job, I don't even have a single cent in my pocket. All my close friends, the people who were like brothers to me they turned their backs at me. I am in a very very dark place right now. So if ever I get through this, thank you for this wonderful video and your comments as well..
@@ericr.7088 November 28 2021 my girlfriend and the mother of my children who I thought for the past 7 years told me I had to leave are home she was done. She tried so badly to help me she love & support me the best she possibly could she gave up. I lost my home & family and everything in-between car, dog, clothes etc..I fell into an even darker place I moved back in with my parents who both have there own demons and issues. They didn't care if I was hurt & depressed never asking me how I'm doing or if I was ok knowing I lost everything on top of battling addiction. Instead my father who's always been an alcoholic just got drunk as usual and picks fights with me about any and everything even the smallest of things. A lot of times he would just open the bedroom door and start fights with me telling me I better pay them rent money and now the bills are gonna triple so I need to figure something else out. Than my mother who I've never had a good relationship with my whole life but that's a whole other story. She has her own battles as well with painkillers and good lord watch out if she doesn't have them. She is extremely miserable and that hurts me to say about my mother but she's just unhappy , nasty and says the most ignorant shit. I swear the only time she'll talk to me is when she's bitchin about my father to me and saying the most outta line shit. Some times she be bitchin about me to me as if she doesn't realize who she's talking to it's strange. She never sat and talked with me just about me portraying me as some careless heartless person when in reality I'm her son who's in a dark place battling addiction than falling into an even deeper depression over losing my home & family whom after spending every damn day with my babies after getting laid off ( COVID HIT) for almost 2 years day & night from waking up making breakfast to making them bubble baths before bedtime. They were my identity I called them my lil ducklings because the way they followed behind me in a line everywhere I walked with there bottle of chalky chalky (chocolate milk) in hand lol. But back to my point my mother doesn't care about my issues with addiction and depression I am more of a throne in her side than anything. These past couple months have been hell. Even now I'm still walking thru hell but at least I'm standing up now and can walk instead of laying down literally ready to give up. I wasted so much time just laying alone in a dark quiet room crying feeling so low. Nobody knows that I came really close to just giving up completely the ending my pain. I would try and tell myself this was the answer and convince myself that it would be the ultimate example for my children to make better decisions in life. I remember breaking down crying one night because I realized I was at peace with my decision because it scared me. That was in March around 30th birthday. Now 3 months later I'm still battling with my addiction with heroin. I am ready to stand back up on my feet and start walking back in the right direction. One step at a time and one day at a time is what I've been telling myself. I just got hired last week at a nice little family owned window factory company. Well I'm waiting on my background check to clear first. They said I would start about 2 weeks after that. My next goal is to quit heroin and at least get past the physical withdrawals stage because Im on the schedule. If you made it through that messy typo filled rant of minds just know I think your awesome and I hope you have a wonderful day full of blessings.
Ty for this 🙏 I’m 1 day today and fighting with all I have. I have 3 kids and they are everything to me. I want to be better and I’m going to make it this time
I was a real bad heroin and fentynal addict for years going in and out of jail for committing crimes to support my habit. Thanks to God and constant prayers and support from my parents I am now 1 year clean and working a good job 👍. Praise God
Awesome brother. I'm a rounder fromm Canada. 50 year old now. I have done close to 20 years prison. Herion and robberies and murder . I got 15 to life for 2nd degree murder . Now I have been free of alll dope 11 years and out of prison 6 years now .. NEVER GIVE UP. it's a choice. Choose to never do dope. Your a winner brother 😉
I'm 10mths in recovery. Past few days been difficult not picking up a drink. Meetings , prayer/ meditation, reaching out nothing makes me feel better. I thank God for getting me through each day. I was on the bus ready to stop at the liquor but came across this. Needed it.
This man and his story saved my life. I'm still a mess with day to day things but I can say I have been clean from opioids for almost 2 years now. Anytime I feel like I'm losing it I just come to RUclips to listen to Chris. God bless all who understands the struggle and who will all cross paths with this evil.
Keep on keeping on! God sees and knows all and will carry u when you're weak. You're never alone cause there's alot of us struggling with it! Stay strong and pray constantly 🙏 God bless
@okey dokey if u don’t mind me asking, how did u overcome the withdrawal part of it, I’ve been on Suboxone for over 10 years now and I have never takin it for recreation and I have never takin anywhere near what my doctor used to tell me to take because I was never seeking a high from them, I just wanted to be done with the pain pill cycle, I take about the size of a piece of hair of it daily but even @ this low dose I cannot deal with the withdrawals, I have no cravings for it, atleast not a craving to get high, but I just can’t get over the restlessness of it, I can deal with the stomach pains and all that and restless legs isn’t the worse part for me, it’s the restless arms
Hope you're doing good James! I felt the same way and now it's 8 years and I'm in school for addiction counselling. You got this James if you want it you can get it!
@@blandpaintings3701you're never to old to start over look at it as you're just getting started. You got this. Rooting for you, slip ups may happen learn a bit more each time and keep going!
I'm on 6 days sober. I dream about getting high but I have not given in. This was my time to quit. I made this decision. Getting the drugs is so easy. It's around me everywhere I go. I'm still clean. I'm doing this for GOD. He has plans for me but not if I am dirty. I'm going to stay clean.
Where he said I wish I could sit in my friends basement and be happy with who I was that hit me so hard. I’ve been addicted to heroin and fentanyl for 13 years. I just relapsed after 2 years for the 100th time. I feel so defeated but I won’t give up. I’ve got 17 days today. Chris’s story gives me hope.
@@jeffreybaker5407 Maybe not his but he does with a lot of us, God got me sober and saved 24 years ago; By the way the Bible says the fool in his heart says there is no God!
Thank god. I am so happy for you. I have lost so many friends this year to fentanyl. I’m so glad you’re on s good path. Idk you, but I wish u luck and I’m sending you love
Today I sat on my bed and cried and cried, lost my older brother to addiction and suicide last year an I nearly lost myself through addiction and this video came up in my video suggestions ❤
"Fighting" addiction is a sure fire recipe for failure. Recovery is achieved by "Surrendering", and having the "Willingness" to live differently. When I say live differently, I mean literally how you move your feet. All the best...Mark 5/8/1994
Please stop it with invisible gods.it never seems to be gods fault when all the death and destruction happens in the world but when someone does good then its the lord?? Haha i applaud anyone who has kicked an addiction.my own poison was alcohol, i was a heavy weekend drinker for 18 years,i have been clean almost 2 years.the PAWS were terrible and lasted 20months.my motivation to quit was my teenage son telling me i basically wasnt a nice guy when drinking. It feels like a second chance at life.
@@jamestait2996 cheers James. I think everybody can stop a bad habit, they just need a good enough reason. But i guess life is about balance.i mean if your vice is alcohol but you do it in moderation then there is no harm.its all about self control,thats why i had to stop because i didnt have much!
Amen❤ I was helped 2 by the Lord Jesus Christ and the Father overcome an addiction I thought was not possible to be conquered. And now I am free and clean for almost 2 years🥳❤
@Mia Jude Anyone who tries to engage with this hacker should be extra careful. Can’t say much!!! Giving out contacts of your loved ones to a total stranger doesn’t seem so right. If you want to go ahead to do so make sure this guy is legit. Peace ☮️
This guy touch my hart,I'm,6,months out of 42yrs an alcohol,coke head,loving life sober,& intend staying this way,guys like this,all ways help recovery.
I started drinking when I was 14 and got addicted to cocaine/alcohol when I was 18 years old, I’m 24 now and am 6 months sober! Life is so much better this way as I’m truly powerless over drugs and alcohol. One day at a time.
I am as well battling addiction…. Im it is pure misery and I am so defeated….. I hope you find the strength to get clean and live the life you are supposed to be….
I hope you are ok today. It's been a year since you posted. I hope your week went well and that you didn't feel too anxious or alone. I'm in my car less than 7 days sober. I'm crying from the anxiety and just not knowing how to be in my own skin. But I'm a mom of 3.. my 2 girls and my sweet baby boy are upstairs with their father. I'm working through my tears telling myself "it's ok, you made it one more day, you've done well keep going". I hope with all my heart that you have found courage to keep trying. I send you warmth, love and prayers. May the Lord guide your steps and heal your heart. I hope.... I hope you truly are ok. Don't leave this world so soon ok.
32 years old and I still have the marks 32 years old and I have 38 day's sober 32 years old and I still cry over the mistakes 32 years old and I signed up for IOP today 😊 32 yrs old and your message of recovery has reached me Helped me maintain another day.. Thank you.
I'm so proud of you 🤗👍 please remember that, Greater is he that is in you then he that is in the world. Hold on to the promises of the Lord and I promise you, you WILL OVER COME THIS. IN JESUS NAME AMEN 💞
If you're considering drinking or using, you're living in the problem instead of the solution. The substance CANNOT be our focus. "Living differently" is the key to long term recovery. Go to meetings, clean house, and help others.
At 34 years old I'm saying unaccepted apologies to my children and family,I'm 6days sober after three attempts this year ,and a funeral ,it's time for thoroughness and action behind the (steps)of recovery
Watching this in tears thinking back on all the damage my addiction did to my family. Opiods/heroine took 10 years of my life and I'm just now getting clean, I have 6 days and it tough. Needed to hear some real encouraging words and this hit the spot. Keeping my eyes on the prize and thats to keep my beautiful family next to me. Much love guys.
Sending you love, prayers and support. You can absolutely abstain from substances once you find your "why" you'll no longer feed that "why not" monster inside all of us🙏🏽
I'm with you in prayer 🙏 hope God to give u strength to defeat this disease I'm heart broken hearing your story as I'm also watching Chris vedio in tears wishing one day God will help my son also to overcome his addiction I'm broken 💔 and feel defeated as mother
congratulations. I feel every day that you go sober is an achievement. And Yea. It takes alot of heart. Courage,, mind and will power. You got to want to be sober. For whatever the reason is to quit but you just have to really want it..

I have 12yrs in the fellowship of Alcolholics Anonymous, which in comparison is not long in reality, I was ill, but I take my medicine in the guise of AA and a relationship between God and myself through the Gift of grace in Jesus..

Watching this video in tears realizing for the first time in my life all the damge my alcoholism has done. I'm 56 days sober and been out of rehab for a month now it's a constant battle everyday especially when you have clinical depression and anxiety but I got this! One day at a time and I'll get my life back on track and finally be happy I just can't wait to get there and look back one day and be proud of myself and not hate myself so much I'm trying so hard
You just finished the hardest thing. Going to rehab!!! I am so proud of you for going, I am almost 3 months clean after a relapse in November, after hitting 2 yrs clean! We do recover, and the beginning of recovery is the hardest but the more clean time you get you realize that your kicking addictions ass! Keep going! You got this!
Look up the four neurotransmitters. These are the chemicals in your body that regulate feelings. you don't have an outside source anymore to change your moods. In the beginning this was and still is a big help. You said you can't wait to get there. You're already there. Already successful, it'll build from this day forward. Trying to rush recovery, places a burden on the wonder. Let it flow naturally. I'm Jim, and I'm a raging, recovered drug addict.
Hey l just wondering how you doing by now… l just relapse this past weekend after a year being sober l am 53 and believe me l feel the same way you do when you had relapse
I know how u feel brotha, been dealing wit opoid addiction for 15 years now. The pain of withdrawal is unimaginable, there's no words to describe how badly it really is. It just terrifies me. Unless u been there, u will never understand the severity of this addiction. I'm trying to get into treatment but without the proper insurance, they look at u like ur crazy. I've been trying to get clean on my own for 5 years now and I know this isnt suttin I can do alone. I need help to conquer this. The desperation is at an all time high, I can't stand living this way any longer. I'd rather be dead than live this way for another minute. Thank you Chris, you've been an amazing inspiration to me cuz u know exactly what it's really like. Much respect brotha and I live right in ur back yard. I'm from New Bedford, MA. Love everything u represent, much love....
Hey dear i just want to assure you that you are never alone. God loves you so much to the extend that He is so concerned about every slightest detail of your life. He yearn for that relationship with His own people and His biggest obsession is to be believe. No wonder the bible tells us that '....cast all your cares to Him ,for He careth for us'. The reason why many suffer when He is just there its because they haven't mastered or fully understood the depth of His love through His Word and many just treat Him as a sugar daddy like "God ,give me this, do this for me" without relationship whatsoever. Only if many would learn to trust Him with their life for everything, since He is the Creator ,the world would be in a far much better place
You're never alone God always is with you and need you and want you to listen to Footprints in the saying I don't know what verse it is but it basically says my man says to Jesus as they walk along the beach I only see one set of footprints in the sand man says to Jesus where were or you at my toughest moments you abandon me. The Lord says no I didn't abandon you my son that was one I was carrying you at your worst moment so we are never alone my dear
I've been feeling so alone for the past year. My boyfriend tells me daily he hates me and wants me to move out. And then he will tell me back in with something else.
Hey bro congratulations that's awesome. I want to get free so badly. Do you have any advice for those days that are just shitty and you know some dope will make it feel better and that little devil keeps whispering to you that "Just one time won't hurt just do it"???
@@DB-qg7hk it's really about getting sick enough of your own shit to make a lasting change. Getting completely away from the negative influences and surrounding yourself with people who are living the lives that you desire. Replacing bad habits with good habits. And anytime you feel that obsession coming on you gotta get somewhere positive
I was saved August 1st 2021, same date but 12 years later and now I’m watching this…. God is God. I’m 18 and have dealt with depression and addiction and God spun me in a complete 180 after being done with life and being alone I cried for help and asked him to help me, No more fighting the earthly fight, but now the spiritual fight and all glory to Jesus Christ for that🙏🏽
How could anyone dislike this video, Chris is so authentic, I’m in recovery myself , his story is very powerful and so many can relate to it including me. Thank you Chris I am still learning to like and hopefully one day love myself. Unguarded is a life changer!
Learning to live yourself is the toughest thing for us addicts to learn to do. Obviously we did not love ourselves or we would have never been committing the slow painful process of suicide thru drugs and alcohol, and in the beginning of the road to sobriety we don't love ourselves enough to stay sober for ourselves. I started my sobriety 28 years ago because I loved my daughter enough to try , but I hated myself to the core. In getting sober and our heads clearing up we have years of remembering and realizing all the horrible and shameful things we had done in our addiction and our self hatred grows for a while until we can start forgiving ourselves. It took me 20 years to learn to accept and start loving myself and regaining some self respect through doing good, being kind and helping others and living a respectable life. Today I can literally say I love myself so much and respect myself because I have grown to be a kind, loving, and giving decent woman who looks for ways to reach out to others in pain and help them in some little way everday.We learn to love ourselves slowly thru loving and helping others thru even the smallest act of kindness of a smile or compliment or a moment of our time. Being able to look in the mirror and say " I love and respect you and you are a good person " is the best feeling in the world and so worth the daily struggle of staying sober and facing our past and cleaning up our messes. The best of luck to you in your journey of sobriety and learning to love yourself finally, you deserve it. God loves you and so do I , bless you
He makes me cry, he’s so transparent and his story is an inspiration to those still sick and suffering. He’s a life changer to those young people as he confirms acceptance in choosing to live a sober and clean life 🙏🏽🥰 Living to tell your story saves lives! God bless those who have lived to share.
After 8 months I fell off the wagon…. We are 14 months further and this man made me realize I need to give it another go…. Not just for myself but to make a difference for fellow addicts
Damn, that really hit home. I'm so thankful I quit drinking when I did. I've been sober in the past, and relapsed, and it is like you go down a level of suffering every time. When you quit, you quickly realise how beautiful the world really is!
The hardest thing in my life was kick my addiction. When my son was born 6 months ago I promised to stop going drugs and drinking but that was a lie. I got worse my addiction grew not even the love for my son was big enough. But then I met a group at AA and it’s crazy how the presence of other people that been threw the same thing change my mindset and 3 months sober and counting!
@@jeffreybaker5407 I guess you have no idea how mean spirited and tacky you sound with that remark. Pretty much the opposite of the nobility and courage of the speaker.
@@RobMorganest1983 Were you asking me, or the first commenter? If me… very up and down, and this afternoon caused pain for someone who deserves that the least. So I’ve got to shit or get off the pot
Yeah, me too. It’s time. Fuck waiting, fuck the suffering, fuck the worry, fuck the cravings, it’s time to suck it up and put this poison down, it’s time to get help if we need that route. There’s nothing to do but to do it. We can do it man, you can do it, I’m not being cliche either, we really can do it. Life throws us so many moments of suffering and we can either be strong and deal with it with a positive mindset or we can keep going down this road of self sabotage. We all are better than that and we are made for a purpose, we can put these drugs down and chase our dreams and find our purpose. We can look at it like this, putting down these drugs comes with withdrawals, pain, sadness, anxiety, depression, anger, you name it, but just think to yourself all these withdrawals you’ll feel are all just temporary suffering, They will go away. Stay positive. When our mind wonders into negativity, just repeat positive thoughts. Just imagine the satisfaction we will feel, the feeling of accomplishment, the feeling of self love we will get when we finally put this shit down for good. Those feelings aren’t temporary, as long as we sober up and continue to improve ourselves things will come our way, things will fall into place. Cut the tempting and negative people out of your life and start NOW. CHASE YOUR DREAMS NOT A TEMPORARY HIGH!!!! Find happiness and love yourself. I don’t care how crazy your dreams are, don’t let a single person stop you from chasing them, we will become what we want with hard work, and putting our time towards the right things. You are not alone, sounds cliche but you really aren’t. Not many people make it out of this dark hole and we will not be just another person dying from drugs. We will achieve our dreams, we will love ourselves, we will find purpose, and people will come into our life that understand us and love us for who we are. We just have to work on ourselves, and putting these drugs down is the first step. We weren’t made to be addicts, we were made to have purpose. So start today, no more waiting, deal with the temporary suffering of withdrawals, say no to cravings, and use your time to work towards being what you always wanted. I’m only 22 and I’ve been abusing hard drugs since I was 18, Everyday. Now I’m lost and no longer using drugs to get high. Everything will work out and be okay. I don’t care how old y’all are, you’re never too old to find your purpose and better yourself. WE CAN FUCKING GET SOBER! WE WILL GET SOBER!!! START TODAY!!!! Sending love and positivity anyone’s way that reads this, I wish all yall nothing but the best. Love yourself, you deserve it. Message me or just comment if y’all need someone to talk to. I’m not a basic cliche person at all, I’ll really talk to y’all and value the conversation, I’ll give y’all advice and help any way I can. LOVE
Chris Herron is a local legend where I’m from. Man was a great basketball player, I believe he played for the Celtics, or was drafted by them. Either way, I heard his story, and am happy that he’s recovered. I really hope I can too.
Had tears in my eyes from beginning to end, I lost 2years 3 months clean time a few months ago n been going down hill since, slow at first, now so very fast tomorrow I'm gonna try to start my journey again..thank u for this it will be on repeat for a while
Aaron, a righteous man falls again and again, get down on your knees and hand over the Mess in your life to Christ Jesus because he will clean you up better than new. Addiction is a powerful demon that is not expelled from one's life without Heavenly intervention. God did not give you life just for you to slowly destroy yourself. Use the miracle of RUclips to start your day with spiritual nourishment (Soakstream scriptures), your favorite pastors, Charles Surgeon sermons, etc. We are praying for you, my brother, trust and have faith in God, he will not let you down if you follow the instructions in the Word of God, call on Christ Jesus, the demonic spirits have No choice but to flee from you. We are expecting great things from you, Aaron, your testimony, one day, is going to bring many people to Christ Jesus.
Born again Christian.. less then one year. I sobered up realized I had depression. Now I'm praying each day for my mom who's been battling depression and alcoholism for 15+ years... thank you for your story!
One of the most profound addiction recovery stories ive ever heard. youve conquered something that the brightest doctors in the world cant cure. Keep telling your story and saving lives. Sober since july 10th 2010. Mark Webber won the uk grand prix and i was too pissed to even enjoy it on tv
This is My third time around having the 1year clean from alcohol and drugs. However, today I have 1yr clean without cigarettes. Blessed just to have the one day.
@@Sarah-fi1vq Sarah, it's essential that we live in the solution, instead of the problem. I absolutely could not stop drinking, until I stopped focusing on "not drinking". The moment I started to focus on taking action, was the moment I began to recover. We take action that we have zero faith in, and get results we can't explain. I am never going to know the benefits of taking the action...until I take the action. Think about your favorite singer or musician. Do you think they just woke up one day with the gift, or did they reluctantly practice until they saw they were improving? Sobriety is no different. That's why my recovery group says, "Bring the body, and the mind will follow". It's absolutely true! If I need a gallon of milk, thinking about it won't get me a gallon of milk. I have to go get it! All the best to you...Mark
@@Sarah-fi1vq Nothing has happened in the last 27 years, that caused me to consider drinking as a solution. Both of my parents passed away, I've moved about six times, had a number of great jobs, a couple relationships that ended peacefully, etc, etc. The same stuff everyone else goes through. My spiritual condition, brought about by taking action, has enabled me to deal with whatever happens in my life...and it's been a GREAT 27 years of continuous sobriety. I wish only good things for you Sarah!
I'm alcoholic I'm 35 years old I been struggling get sober Cause I would get sober then I would fall back drinking again on and off . I'm working on day by day struggle I was born with alcoholic syndrome idk if I ever going be able be sober I hope so though I'm going pray everyday
@@triggertim1 Stop "struggling", and take some ACTION! Get to a closed AA meeting everyday for a week. Try putting forth a fraction of the effort to get sober, compared to the effort you made to drink! Think about THAT for a while.
By the grace of God I defeated alcoholism . I love being sober and I have strength to ignore the voice of the devil telling me to get drunk . I am drunk in God’s Love amen .
Right at the moment i am fighting this battle with drugs and alcohol where it nearly took my life away i am 21 years old and started at the age of 14 today i m in the hospital because of it and i was fighting for my life just a few days before. This is the first time i watch his videos and honestly it did make me cry but it does motivate me thank you chris and god bless everyone seeing this Amen
65 days here brother! I hope your doing well my friend. They played his documentary in rehab as well and It really hit home. So much I cried. He is doing gods or someone’s work out there. Beautiful and sad story
I remember you telling me the story about this nurse & how adamant she was about catching you before you left...and you went and sat with her. She’s an ANGEL.
God intervenes in ways unimaginable, in that, we never even see him doing so until we are feeling the affects & living the results! This nurse sounds pretty special & is obviously in tune with God & sensitive to His Spirit. I've just learned of Chris this morning&it's Amazing how I stumbled upon his story bc my life is a mess/wreck right now. What a testimony. I'd LOVE to meet this guy! Talk about a much needed life changing experience that would be!
His story left me feeling very emotional and empowered to continue my journey with recovery. I've been to many meetings. I've heard many stories, but that story touched my heart like no other. Thank God for blessing me with this gift that touched me so deeply
my brother died from methadone overdose with cocaine, and I thought alcohol is legal so its not that bad but I realize after another blackout its a HUGE problem and I want to be sober. I have addictive genes, im ready for a change, thank u so much for this.
I thank God for people that share their struggles and triumphs over addiction. It let's people like me know I am not alone in the battle to become who I should be and tried to be after failing many times...
Dana, From my own experience, "battling" any addiction is living in the problem, instead of the solution. I tried 500 times to "not drink", and failed every time. The moment I started living differently, was the moment I began to recover. I had to "surrender" to the fact that I couldn't fix myself with my thoughts. Only through action, do we recover. All the best to you! Mark
Chris Herron your message is so moving that it makes me cry hearing about you, You came to my school today Southmont High school I wish you would come every year now
I live in the Twin Cities, go to meetings on a regular basis, and believe that "bad days", are bullshit! My sobriety date is 5/8/1994. Happy to discuss anytime!
I understand. I've been in and out of AA for 20 years. Today I have 14 months sober. praise God and a program of Recovering that works only when I live it. Love all. I'm Ross S. And I am a alcoholic.🙏🏾
Thank you Chris. Watched you the first time when I was 22 addicted to herion at my first rehab. I'm 31 and 3 months ago entered my 4th rehab, I had 67 days then out of no where it's like I compleltly blacked out and next thing I realize I'm once again shooting heroin. But I didn't let it control me as much, I'm not doing it multiple times a day for days, weeks, months in a row. Even tho I mess up and use I try with everything to not letting it take me over, to the point where I'm spending my day only worrying about my next bag to shoot and how to get more money for the next bag. To me it's the little victories. I can't seem to fully control it and cut it out of my life permanently, but what a difference it is compared to 6 months ago. I try and fail multiple times a day but I always try again. Some days I am tired of trying and give up and try to pretend and forget but after a decade of escaping reality and pretending it gets so hard to try to pretend. Now I don't run from that stuff, I embrace every good and bad feeling and tell my self it's judt being human and let it wash over me, try not to fight or numb feeling/emotion and let it go as fast as it came. Every human from the beginning of time has had bad thoughts and feelings or insecure or weird feelings, so don't isolate cus everyjbe can relate and don't self destruct with pity or regret because there's time to live another life, change the past by changing the shitfy behaviors now thay way soon people look at you differently, making it seem like your a ckmplelty different person now than in the past
Must be so hard mate keep going be strong god will bring you out the other end of the tunnel and pull you thought the stormes of life mate my god pull you out faster than you would than you think just trust him and hang in there god is in there you just have to keep him in your site were ever you go mate all the best maria
Fullybaked219, thank you for sharing your story! Just like Chris said, it's such a journey getting free! But I encourage you, you are so precious! Please continue to fight the good fight! You are worth it! Becoming who you were always meant to be! I encourage you that GOD made a way in my life, so I could walk in greater freedom! If it wasn't for HIM, I would have committed suicide. I was so angry with myself and ALL the ways I fell short! Every day HE keeps me, HE holds me, HE calls me HIS own, HE reminds me that when everything else fails, HE'S still FAITHFUL! GOD BLESS YOU on your journey towards LIFE! 💞🙏💞
*You CAN do it! Just STOP and don't go back.* 💕🕉🛐 ⚠️ It's an ADDICTION that you can't control when you take it. But you CAN control it when you don't take it. ⚠️
Im a recovering meth addict. I live in a sober house in gorham it's called courage house. It's an awesome place. I am a peer support and recovery leader. I've done a lot of positive things but still I'm an addict. I hade 2.5 years of recovery and 6 months ago I relapsed, I've been clean for 3 weeks now, a now im loving life. I think im done with drugs. I feel if I keep using I will be dead by the end of the year. I have children that I haven't met yet i want them to know who I am. These video's help me stay clean and they give me the boost that I need to stay clean. Ty for your support.
This is the most moving testimony I’ve ever watched. I sobbed. I will save this and send to others that are struggling. This is just ‘wow’. Chris, thank you for sharing your journey 💙
24 days sober and going trough a very tough time. I feel like I could relapse at any moment. The only thing stopping me is that I just KNOW that as soon as that poison touches my lips, I will instantly feel like the biggest loser
This was such a beautiful, heartbreaking and honest account of knowing we are broken. However, we are always guided to the right places and the right people at the right time. I feel very blessed to have heard your story. I love the facts that somebody could see your mother tell you that message I also am an empath and I feel things on such a strong level I don't know why I just know that it is a friend of mine was recently contemplating suicide All I could say was that I could feel his father I don't know why never met the man but I could feel him around me and I needed to tell him and he listened. I too suffer from an affliction unlike you I was always confident in my early years it wasn't till it was 29 till I started listening to other people and believing what they said. I have been battling since 1999 but I have been fighting everyday since. Your story brought me to tears with sadness understanding and hope I live right outside of Massachusetts so I love listening to your accent. You have made a difference in my day and I want to say thank you and pass it on my gratitude to you
I’m going to share this with my best friend’s 33 year old son who got out of rehab today. I swear, I don’t think he’ll stay sober, but I will stand by him as much as I can to feed him SOBRIETY. Praying to GOD he will get “it” soon!! 🙏🙏
Today (24th/10/2021 )I will be starting my sobriety journey In Sha Allah ,May Allah help me I have struggled with the evil voice in my head.I wont allow my life to go down in shamble.Doing it for Mother ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love you Mom as you have never given up on me no matter the situation/mess I was in ,time to make you proud.
Brother I know this is a long time ago but how are you doing ? I hope you are good inshallah. You can do it bro it’s hard and it’s gonna be a daily battle for life but the longer you are clean the easier it gets. What helped me was praying namaz and remembering our creator and asking him to guide me and help me stay on my deen and away from all evil especially drugs . I would pray everyday and still do and ask Allah swt to keep me on the straight path
The most heartbreaking speech I’ve listened to and the moment about having to disappear and not be a dad will stick to me forever.I watched this in my rehab in California as I’m watching it again as I’m at the rehab house at this moment.I have another chance to not let that happen to me.I love my son sooo much

Even after two years of losing my cousin of a heroin overdose it hurts so much to hear his story. I never got to say a goodbye to him and I hope he really lives his life. His story makes me cry every single time. It’s so painful. I feel so alone and I need some kind of hope.
Sam, that's satan telling you, you are alone, you are Not alone! How could you be alone, every breath we take comes from God, if you were alone you would be pushing up daisies in some cemetery, sir! Live your life in such a manner that you give honor to God and the memory of your cousin. Your cousin is still alive in your ❤️ and memories which you can view on the movie screen of your mind anytime you want. Use the miracle of RUclips on your big screen tv, type in Soakstream scriptures ( or some spiritual nourishment of your choosing) to start your day, guard your ❤️ and mind against attacks from satan by studying the Word of God, end your days with a prayer of Thanks. We are praying for you, Sam, you Will be successful in your quest providing you trust and believe in the Power of the Holy Comforter (the Holy Spirit).

I remember watching Chris Heren play basketball. He was definitely one of the great guards. The craziest thing was when he was on the court, he looked like the most confident young man, completely in control of his environment. I knew he had some problems off the court, but it wasn't until the 30for30 ESPN documentary, did I really know about the nightmare of a life he was leading off the court and the saddest part was what he put his wife and children through. His wife Robin is an absolute rock and Saint of a human being. Sticking with Chris through chance after chance, it makes you say to yourself this can't be real! I remember him talking about the guy at the addiction center, saying the bravest thing you could do is tell your family that your not coming back, that all you are is a weight around their neck and you are better off just dying! They locked him every day in the pot sink. I think it was a month straight where he had to be in that room for 18 hours a day, just scrubbing and cleaning all the dishes for the whole center. He said in that little room where you could barely lay down, he found his soul! It's been 4 years now where I have been sober and not taken any opioids! I just want to thank you Chris for the inspiration! Like he says everyday is a new 24hours where you have to battle that demon. You have to take it a day at a time!
i remember hearing/seeing him speak when i was in rehab 8 years ago. I didn’t stay sober, but by the grace of god i got sober and will be celebrating almost 6 years of sobriety in feb.
If u haven't heard it today, I'm proud of you!! I don't know you, but I can relate...I was an addict off and on for 16yrs.,after losing my brother to drugs in 2016 (he was only 25yrs. Old), I lost my other brother exactly 1 1/2 yrs. later(in 2018), also to the same thing(2 many IV drugs), that woke me up, well that along with my 4 kids... I can say this, I'm not COMPLETELY clean, I take subuxone, but I'm clean from all the pain pills that almost killed me! I'm not 100, but I'm working my ass off to prove I can and I will do this! But I saw ur comment and it touched me!!! So,here I am saying "I am so proud of you" keep going Queen, you got this!!!!
Amen 🙏 Steph.
Just keep going. I'M on my journey right now.
We will get there, to the place we want to be...!!!
Wish I can get away

Michael Shoquist sorry to bother you 2 years later.do you have any advice on staying clean?
Works if you work it. I just hit 90 days.
Justin Thomas congratulations bro.keep it up!!!!
Thanks man.. Still one drink away from a drunk.
Im 7 years sober👍
3 days sober fighting the urges and temptations. I know a better life awaits me 🙏🏼🙏🏼
2 months ago. You better have 63+ days sober now.
I hope I can do it as well.. Really want to change. I lost everything... My family, my wife, my friends, my job, I don't even have a single cent in my pocket. All my close friends, the people who were like brothers to me they turned their backs at me. I am in a very very dark place right now. So if ever I get through this, thank you for this wonderful video and your comments as well..
@@ericr.7088 November 28 2021 my girlfriend and the mother of my children who I thought for the past 7 years told me I had to leave are home she was done. She tried so badly to help me she love & support me the best she possibly could she gave up. I lost my home & family and everything in-between car, dog, clothes etc..I fell into an even darker place I moved back in with my parents who both have there own demons and issues. They didn't care if I was hurt & depressed never asking me how I'm doing or if I was ok knowing I lost everything on top of battling addiction. Instead my father who's always been an alcoholic just got drunk as usual and picks fights with me about any and everything even the smallest of things. A lot of times he would just open the bedroom door and start fights with me telling me I better pay them rent money and now the bills are gonna triple so I need to figure something else out. Than my mother who I've never had a good relationship with my whole life but that's a whole other story. She has her own battles as well with painkillers and good lord watch out if she doesn't have them. She is extremely miserable and that hurts me to say about my mother but she's just unhappy , nasty and says the most ignorant shit. I swear the only time she'll talk to me is when she's bitchin about my father to me and saying the most outta line shit. Some times she be bitchin about me to me as if she doesn't realize who she's talking to it's strange. She never sat and talked with me just about me portraying me as some careless heartless person when in reality I'm her son who's in a dark place battling addiction than falling into an even deeper depression over losing my home & family whom after spending every damn day with my babies after getting laid off ( COVID HIT) for almost 2 years day & night from waking up making breakfast to making them bubble baths before bedtime. They were my identity I called them my lil ducklings because the way they followed behind me in a line everywhere I walked with there bottle of chalky chalky (chocolate milk) in hand lol. But back to my point my mother doesn't care about my issues with addiction and depression I am more of a throne in her side than anything. These past couple months have been hell. Even now I'm still walking thru hell but at least I'm standing up now and can walk instead of laying down literally ready to give up. I wasted so much time just laying alone in a dark quiet room crying feeling so low. Nobody knows that I came really close to just giving up completely the ending my pain. I would try and tell myself this was the answer and convince myself that it would be the ultimate example for my children to make better decisions in life. I remember breaking down crying one night because I realized I was at peace with my decision because it scared me. That was in March around 30th birthday. Now 3 months later I'm still battling with my addiction with heroin. I am ready to stand back up on my feet and start walking back in the right direction. One step at a time and one day at a time is what I've been telling myself. I just got hired last week at a nice little family owned window factory company. Well I'm waiting on my background check to clear first. They said I would start about 2 weeks after that. My next goal is to quit heroin and at least get past the physical withdrawals stage because Im on the schedule.
If you made it through that messy typo filled rant of minds just know I think your awesome and I hope you have a wonderful day full of blessings.
@@schockeddog6934 I wish you and @Eric.R both all the 👌. Greetings from UK and wish us all a better future
You got this!!
Ty for this 🙏 I’m 1 day today and fighting with all I have. I have 3 kids and they are everything to me. I want to be better and I’m going to make it this time
I was a real bad heroin and fentynal addict for years going in and out of jail for committing crimes to support my habit. Thanks to God and constant prayers and support from my parents I am now 1 year clean and working a good job 👍. Praise God
Praise God!! How did you do it?

Awesome brother. I'm a rounder fromm Canada. 50 year old now. I have done close to 20 years prison. Herion and robberies and murder . I got 15 to life for 2nd degree murder . Now I have been free of alll dope 11 years and out of prison 6 years now .. NEVER GIVE UP. it's a choice. Choose to never do dope. Your a winner brother 😉
So proud of YOU. You are a miracle and made it to a year, it’s just another day, and a day away. So proud of you
Amen stay blessed
I'm 10mths in recovery. Past few days been difficult not picking up a drink. Meetings , prayer/ meditation, reaching out nothing makes me feel better. I thank God for getting me through each day. I was on the bus ready to stop at the liquor but came across this. Needed it.
Begin the Rosary.
This man and his story saved my life. I'm still a mess with day to day things but I can say I have been clean from opioids for almost 2 years now. Anytime I feel like I'm losing it I just come to RUclips to listen to Chris. God bless all who understands the struggle and who will all cross paths with this evil.
Keep on keeping on! God sees and knows all and will carry u when you're weak. You're never alone cause there's alot of us struggling with it! Stay strong and pray constantly 🙏 God bless
I cant overcome addiction. Its killing me.
@@neilnoble1771 May i ask what substance you are struggling with?
Likewise but this evil is kicking my Ass right now I need help
@okey dokey if u don’t mind me asking, how did u overcome the withdrawal part of it, I’ve been on Suboxone for over 10 years now and I have never takin it for recreation and I have never takin anywhere near what my doctor used to tell me to take because I was never seeking a high from them, I just wanted to be done with the pain pill cycle, I take about the size of a piece of hair of it daily but even @ this low dose I cannot deal with the withdrawals, I have no cravings for it, atleast not a craving to get high, but I just can’t get over the restlessness of it, I can deal with the stomach pains and all that and restless legs isn’t the worse part for me, it’s the restless arms
I'm on day one. I am 49 years old and scared to death. God lead me to this message. Thank you...
You can do it I’ve been there many times. Just be clean for one day at a time that’s all you can do, and eventually they stack upon another
How are you doing today my friend? My clean date is March 6 this year
Hope you're doing good James! I felt the same way and now it's 8 years and I'm in school for addiction counselling. You got this James if you want it you can get it!
I love this comment, I feel like I’m too old to start. I want to stop drinking so bad
@@blandpaintings3701you're never to old to start over look at it as you're just getting started. You got this. Rooting for you, slip ups may happen learn a bit more each time and keep going!
I'm on 6 days sober. I dream about getting high but I have not given in. This was my time to quit. I made this decision. Getting the drugs is so easy. It's around me everywhere I go. I'm still clean. I'm doing this for GOD. He has plans for me but not if I am dirty. I'm going to stay clean.
Have you considered a rehab?
Keep pushing, it will get better. One day at a time
keep going champ, don't give up the fight♥
Where he said I wish I could sit in my friends basement and be happy with who I was that hit me so hard. I’ve been addicted to heroin and fentanyl for 13 years. I just relapsed after 2 years for the 100th time. I feel so defeated but I won’t give up. I’ve got 17 days today. Chris’s story gives me hope.
Stay strong bro , pray for strength , for the strength we need to go through life and all difficulties.
Praying for my son who is drowning in his addiction. So much hope in this story, keep sharing. 🙏
GOD will never leave your sons side
I will pray for your son, in Jesus name🙏❤❤
How is your son? I'd love to pray for him roo
S3nding prayers❤
God can deliver your son. Don’t lose hope. I believe my momma’s prayers kept me alive. Thank God for momma’s like you. God bless.
The lord had a plan for this man. If you can just
save 1 person its all worth it. God bless you Chris
Preach it brother, don't let this bitter remark put you off. God got me sober and saved 24 years ago!

It's about saving lives
One day sober this is the new beginning starting today !!!
34 days sober today. Free of amphetamines and fentanyl ❤️

Thank god. I am so happy for you. I have lost so many friends this year to fentanyl. I’m so glad you’re on s good path. Idk you, but I wish u luck and I’m sending you love
Chris always seems to “show up” at exactly the right time when I’m fighting for my life!
Snap!!
YES YES YES!
Today I sat on my bed and cried and cried, lost my older brother to addiction and suicide last year an I nearly lost myself through addiction and this video came up in my video suggestions ❤
Same here man
"Fighting" addiction is a sure fire recipe for failure. Recovery is achieved by "Surrendering", and having the "Willingness" to live differently. When I say live differently, I mean literally how you move your feet. All the best...Mark 5/8/1994
It always comes down to the Lord’s help to get through.
Please stop it with invisible gods.it never seems to be gods fault when all the death and destruction happens in the world but when someone does good then its the lord?? Haha i applaud anyone who has kicked an addiction.my own poison was alcohol, i was a heavy weekend drinker for 18 years,i have been clean almost 2 years.the PAWS were terrible and lasted 20months.my motivation to quit was my teenage son telling me i basically wasnt a nice guy when drinking. It feels like a second chance at life.
@@bobjohn1234 that's amazing. Wish I could do the same. Keep it up 😉
@@jamestait2996 cheers James. I think everybody can stop a bad habit, they just need a good enough reason. But i guess life is about balance.i mean if your vice is alcohol but you do it in moderation then there is no harm.its all about self control,thats why i had to stop because i didnt have much!
Amen❤
I was helped 2 by the Lord Jesus Christ and the Father overcome an addiction I thought was not possible to be conquered.
And now I am free and clean for almost 2 years🥳❤

I started drinking when I was 14 and got addicted to cocaine/alcohol when I was 18 years old, I’m 24 now and am 6 months sober! Life is so much better this way as I’m truly powerless over drugs and alcohol. One day at a time.

I hope you are ok today. It's been a year since you posted. I hope your week went well and that you didn't feel too anxious or alone. I'm in my car less than 7 days sober. I'm crying from the anxiety and just not knowing how to be in my own skin. But I'm a mom of 3.. my 2 girls and my sweet baby boy are upstairs with their father. I'm working through my tears telling myself "it's ok, you made it one more day, you've done well keep going". I hope with all my heart that you have found courage to keep trying. I send you warmth, love and prayers. May the Lord guide your steps and heal your heart. I hope.... I hope you truly are ok. Don't leave this world so soon ok.

God brought me here too man. You got this.
If you're considering drinking or using, you're living in the problem instead of the solution. The substance CANNOT be our focus. "Living differently" is the key to long term recovery. Go to meetings, clean house, and help others.
At 34 years old I'm saying unaccepted apologies to my children and family,I'm 6days sober after three attempts this year ,and a funeral ,it's time for thoroughness and action behind the (steps)of recovery
Watching this in tears thinking back on all the damage my addiction did to my family. Opiods/heroine took 10 years of my life and I'm just now getting clean, I have 6 days and it tough. Needed to hear some real encouraging words and this hit the spot. Keeping my eyes on the prize and thats to keep my beautiful family next to me. Much love guys.
Sending you love, prayers and support. You can absolutely abstain from substances once you find your "why" you'll no longer feed that "why not" monster inside all of us🙏🏽
I hope you are doing well. Love from one ex addict to another xxx
I'm with you in prayer 🙏 hope God to give u strength to defeat this disease I'm heart broken hearing your story as I'm also watching Chris vedio in tears wishing one day God will help my son also to overcome his addiction I'm broken 💔 and feel defeated as mother
This is the most moving video I have ever seen. Bless this man - his honesty, integrity, and his authenticity. I am.moved to tears.
I have almost 7 months clean an sober takes a big heart to say no to 💉
congratulations. I feel every day that you go sober is an achievement. And Yea. It takes alot of heart. Courage,, mind and will power. You got to want to be sober. For whatever the reason is to quit but you just have to really want it..

Watching this video in tears realizing for the first time in my life all the damge my alcoholism has done. I'm 56 days sober and been out of rehab for a month now it's a constant battle everyday especially when you have clinical depression and anxiety but I got this! One day at a time and I'll get my life back on track and finally be happy I just can't wait to get there and look back one day and be proud of myself and not hate myself so much I'm trying so hard
Stay strong.you will pull through
You just finished the hardest thing. Going to rehab!!! I am so proud of you for going, I am almost 3 months clean after a relapse in November, after hitting 2 yrs clean! We do recover, and the beginning of recovery is the hardest but the more clean time you get you realize that your kicking addictions ass! Keep going! You got this!
Look up the four neurotransmitters. These are the chemicals in your body that regulate feelings. you don't have an outside source anymore to change your moods. In the beginning this was and still is a big help. You said you can't wait to get there. You're already there. Already successful, it'll build from this day forward. Trying to rush recovery, places a burden on the wonder. Let it flow naturally. I'm Jim, and I'm a raging, recovered drug addict.
Hey l just wondering how you doing by now… l just relapse this past weekend after a year being sober l am 53 and believe me l feel the same way you do when you had relapse
I know how u feel brotha, been dealing wit opoid addiction for 15 years now. The pain of withdrawal is unimaginable, there's no words to describe how badly it really is. It just terrifies me. Unless u been there, u will never understand the severity of this addiction. I'm trying to get into treatment but without the proper insurance, they look at u like ur crazy. I've been trying to get clean on my own for 5 years now and I know this isnt suttin I can do alone. I need help to conquer this. The desperation is at an all time high, I can't stand living this way any longer. I'd rather be dead than live this way for another minute. Thank you Chris, you've been an amazing inspiration to me cuz u know exactly what it's really like. Much respect brotha and I live right in ur back yard. I'm from New Bedford, MA. Love everything u represent, much love....
Life gets lonely and we don’t know who needs us.
Hey dear i just want to assure you that you are never alone. God loves you so much to the extend that He is so concerned about every slightest detail of your life. He yearn for that relationship with His own people and His biggest obsession is to be believe. No wonder the bible tells us that '....cast all your cares to Him ,for He careth for us'. The reason why many suffer when He is just there its because they haven't mastered or fully understood the depth of His love through His Word and many just treat Him as a sugar daddy like "God ,give me this, do this for me" without relationship whatsoever. Only if many would learn to trust Him with their life for everything, since He is the Creator ,the world would be in a far much better place
You're never alone God always is with you and need you and want you to listen to Footprints in the saying I don't know what verse it is but it basically says my man says to Jesus as they walk along the beach I only see one set of footprints in the sand man says to Jesus where were or you at my toughest moments you abandon me. The Lord says no I didn't abandon you my son that was one I was carrying you at your worst moment so we are never alone my dear
@@semsannika1809 Very comforting words,thank you.

Hey bro congratulations that's awesome. I want to get free so badly. Do you have any advice for those days that are just shitty and you know some dope will make it feel better and that little devil keeps whispering to you that "Just one time won't hurt just do it"???
@@DB-qg7hk it's really about getting sick enough of your own shit to make a lasting change. Getting completely away from the negative influences and surrounding yourself with people who are living the lives that you desire. Replacing bad habits with good habits. And anytime you feel that obsession coming on you gotta get somewhere positive
Hey man that's awesome I wasn't on heroin but my mom had it bad an overdosed on it and she is sober now congrats on getting away from that
salt thank you! Glad to hear your mom got it together as well! Its difficult but its doable and you just have to want it bad enough!
@@williambrest529 yea she's doing really well now how old are u William
I was saved August 1st 2021, same date but 12 years later and now I’m watching this…. God is God. I’m 18 and have dealt with depression and addiction and God spun me in a complete 180 after being done with life and being alone I cried for help and asked him to help me, No more fighting the earthly fight, but now the spiritual fight and all glory to Jesus Christ for that🙏🏽
God is Good!✊🏼
God bless you! I will pray for you.
Praise Jesus & Bless YOU
🙏🏼
AMEN !! 🙏🏼 All thru God All for God
Stay strong brother 💥💪🏻💥 God bless ❤️
Amen...Our God is a merciful God. God bless and stay focused Lwhite🙏
Relapsed over the weekend. I’m so devastated and scared!! Please pray for me!!
Me too. Don't let it get you down brother man. We can get through this.

Omg. Try again!
How could anyone dislike this video, Chris is so authentic, I’m in recovery myself , his story is very powerful and so many can relate to it including me. Thank you Chris I am still learning to like and hopefully one day love myself. Unguarded is a life changer!
Learning to live yourself is the toughest thing for us addicts to learn to do. Obviously we did not love ourselves or we would have never been committing the slow painful process of suicide thru drugs and alcohol, and in the beginning of the road to sobriety we don't love ourselves enough to stay sober for ourselves. I started my sobriety 28 years ago because I loved my daughter enough to try , but I hated myself to the core. In getting sober and our heads clearing up we have years of remembering and realizing all the horrible and shameful things we had done in our addiction and our self hatred grows for a while until we can start forgiving ourselves. It took me 20 years to learn to accept and start loving myself and regaining some self respect through doing good, being kind and helping others and living a respectable life. Today I can literally say I love myself so much and respect myself because I have grown to be a kind, loving, and giving decent woman who looks for ways to reach out to others in pain and help them in some little way everday.We learn to love ourselves slowly thru loving and helping others thru even the smallest act of kindness of a smile or compliment or a moment of our time. Being able to look in the mirror and say " I love and respect you and you are a good person " is the best feeling in the world and so worth the daily struggle of staying sober and facing our past and cleaning up our messes. The best of luck to you in your journey of sobriety and learning to love yourself finally, you deserve it. God loves you and so do I , bless you
He makes me cry, he’s so transparent and his story is an inspiration to those still sick and suffering. He’s a life changer to those young people as he confirms acceptance in choosing to live a sober and clean life 🙏🏽🥰 Living to tell your story saves lives! God bless those who have lived to share.
amen
After 8 months I fell off the wagon…. We are 14 months further and this man made me realize I need to give it another go…. Not just for myself but to make a difference for fellow addicts
I'm here today with the same story, today is day one. I wish you strength and courage.
Damn, that really hit home. I'm so thankful I quit drinking when I did. I've been sober in the past, and relapsed, and it is like you go down a level of suffering every time. When you quit, you quickly realise how beautiful the world really is!
The hardest thing in my life was kick my addiction. When my son was born 6 months ago I promised to stop going drugs and drinking but that was a lie. I got worse my addiction grew not even the love for my son was big enough. But then I met a group at AA and it’s crazy how the presence of other people that been threw the same thing change my mindset and 3 months sober and counting!
Now this is a hero.
Hahaha, your standards are so low!!!!

This hit home for me... need to get my shit together
Me too…
How are you doing mate?
@@RobMorganest1983 Were you asking me, or the first commenter? If me… very up and down, and this afternoon caused pain for someone who deserves that the least. So I’ve got to shit or get off the pot
I’ve lost SO much over the years, and I refuse to lose anything more
Yeah, me too. It’s time. Fuck waiting, fuck the suffering, fuck the worry, fuck the cravings, it’s time to suck it up and put this poison down, it’s time to get help if we need that route. There’s nothing to do but to do it. We can do it man, you can do it, I’m not being cliche either, we really can do it. Life throws us so many moments of suffering and we can either be strong and deal with it with a positive mindset or we can keep going down this road of self sabotage. We all are better than that and we are made for a purpose, we can put these drugs down and chase our dreams and find our purpose. We can look at it like this, putting down these drugs comes with withdrawals, pain, sadness, anxiety, depression, anger, you name it, but just think to yourself all these withdrawals you’ll feel are all just temporary suffering, They will go away. Stay positive. When our mind wonders into negativity, just repeat positive thoughts. Just imagine the satisfaction we will feel, the feeling of accomplishment, the feeling of self love we will get when we finally put this shit down for good. Those feelings aren’t temporary, as long as we sober up and continue to improve ourselves things will come our way, things will fall into place. Cut the tempting and negative people out of your life and start NOW. CHASE YOUR DREAMS NOT A TEMPORARY HIGH!!!! Find happiness and love yourself. I don’t care how crazy your dreams are, don’t let a single person stop you from chasing them, we will become what we want with hard work, and putting our time towards the right things. You are not alone, sounds cliche but you really aren’t. Not many people make it out of this dark hole and we will not be just another person dying from drugs. We will achieve our dreams, we will love ourselves, we will find purpose, and people will come into our life that understand us and love us for who we are. We just have to work on ourselves, and putting these drugs down is the first step. We weren’t made to be addicts, we were made to have purpose. So start today, no more waiting, deal with the temporary suffering of withdrawals, say no to cravings, and use your time to work towards being what you always wanted. I’m only 22 and I’ve been abusing hard drugs since I was 18, Everyday. Now I’m lost and no longer using drugs to get high. Everything will work out and be okay. I don’t care how old y’all are, you’re never too old to find your purpose and better yourself. WE CAN FUCKING GET SOBER! WE WILL GET SOBER!!! START TODAY!!!! Sending love and positivity anyone’s way that reads this, I wish all yall nothing but the best. Love yourself, you deserve it. Message me or just comment if y’all need someone to talk to. I’m not a basic cliche person at all, I’ll really talk to y’all and value the conversation, I’ll give y’all advice and help any way I can. LOVE
Chris Herron is a local legend where I’m from. Man was a great basketball player, I believe he played for the Celtics, or was drafted by them. Either way, I heard his story, and am happy that he’s recovered. I really hope I can too.
I am so proud of myself I have 30 years sober! & 1 minute clean! Life doesn't suck!
Chris, U changed my Life.
Luv U Brother. U are a true Inspiration !
Thank you for sharing your story! I’m a year sober...I Thank God each day!!!
Yes indeed. He will get you through
I thank the ones who stood by me....
As someone who lost their father at a young age, kids would like to know that their father is alive and doing well.
I'm 66 and I'm back and forth in and out of rehab I'm really want soberity every time I put some clean time I let those evil sprits in
Had tears in my eyes from beginning to end, I lost 2years 3 months clean time a few months ago n been going down hill since, slow at first, now so very fast tomorrow I'm gonna try to start my journey again..thank u for this it will be on repeat for a while
Be strong
Aaron, a righteous man falls again and again, get down on your knees and hand over the Mess in your life to Christ Jesus because he will clean you up better than new. Addiction is a powerful demon that is not expelled from one's life without Heavenly intervention. God did not give you life just for you to slowly destroy yourself. Use the miracle of RUclips to start your day with spiritual nourishment (Soakstream scriptures), your favorite pastors, Charles Surgeon sermons, etc. We are praying for you, my brother, trust and have faith in God, he will not let you down if you follow the instructions in the Word of God, call on Christ Jesus, the demonic spirits have No choice but to flee from you. We are expecting great things from you, Aaron, your testimony, one day, is going to bring many people to Christ Jesus.
@@barryfitzhugh8739 thank you
Don't ever give up friend.

I work with those who have addiction problems and this is one of the best testimonial videos I've ever seen.
When you're working on a program of recovery, there are no bad days! Some are just better than others. (5/8/1994)
Great outlook 💯💪
Born again Christian.. less then one year. I sobered up realized I had depression. Now I'm praying each day for my mom who's been battling depression and alcoholism for 15+ years... thank you for your story!
It's awful when we suffer with depression... The more u drink the more depressed u become.. The more depressed we become the more we drink....
And I didn't realize that vicious cycle for some time 😔

One of the most profound addiction recovery stories ive ever heard. youve conquered something that the brightest doctors in the world cant cure. Keep telling your story and saving lives.
Sober since july 10th 2010. Mark Webber won the uk grand prix and i was too pissed to even enjoy it on tv
This is My third time around having the 1year clean from alcohol and drugs. However, today I have 1yr clean without cigarettes. Blessed just to have the one day.
For the chronic alcoholic in RECOVERY, everyday is a good day. It's just that some are better than others. Mark (5/8/1994)
@@Sarah-fi1vq Sarah, it's essential that we live in the solution, instead of the problem. I absolutely could not stop drinking, until I stopped focusing on "not drinking". The moment I started to focus on taking action, was the moment I began to recover. We take action that we have zero faith in, and get results we can't explain. I am never going to know the benefits of taking the action...until I take the action. Think about your favorite singer or musician. Do you think they just woke up one day with the gift, or did they reluctantly practice until they saw they were improving? Sobriety is no different. That's why my recovery group says, "Bring the body, and the mind will follow". It's absolutely true! If I need a gallon of milk, thinking about it won't get me a gallon of milk. I have to go get it! All the best to you...Mark
@@Sarah-fi1vq Nothing has happened in the last 27 years, that caused me to consider drinking as a solution. Both of my parents passed away, I've moved about six times, had a number of great jobs, a couple relationships that ended peacefully, etc, etc. The same stuff everyone else goes through.
My spiritual condition, brought about by taking action, has enabled me to deal with whatever happens in my life...and it's been a GREAT 27 years of continuous sobriety. I wish only good things for you Sarah!
I'm alcoholic I'm 35 years old
I been struggling get sober
Cause I would get sober then
I would fall back drinking again on and off .
I'm working on day by day struggle I was born with alcoholic syndrome idk if I ever going be able be sober I hope so though I'm going pray everyday
It’s hard
@@triggertim1 Stop "struggling", and take some ACTION! Get to a closed AA meeting everyday for a week. Try putting forth a fraction of the effort to get sober, compared to the effort you made to drink! Think about THAT for a while.
I needed to hear this so bad im doing everything I can to fix this disease god bless you all we can do this ❤

This is the first time i watch his videos and honestly it did make me cry but it does motivate me thank you chris and god bless everyone seeing this Amen
3 years sober from scripts and haven’t went back a day since. Quit cold turkey. No treatment. We do recover. It is possible 💪🏼
Powerful I have tears running down my face 😢😪I just came out of treatment 37 days clean, hopefully it gets better!!!

7 years clean by the grace of god we do recovery

Congrats. March 5, 2019
Neil Noble Yes it is killing you. Sounds like you are too far gone. Check into treatment today
I love this video!!! Thank you for sharing your story Chris!
7 days sober, all we have is 1 day at a time ☺️
I remember you telling me the story about this nurse & how adamant she was about catching you before you left...and you went and sat with her. She’s an ANGEL.
Absolutely
God intervenes in ways unimaginable, in that, we never even see him doing so until we are feeling the affects & living the results! This nurse sounds pretty special & is obviously in tune with God & sensitive to His Spirit. I've just learned of Chris this morning&it's Amazing how I stumbled upon his story bc my life is a mess/wreck right now. What a testimony. I'd LOVE to meet this guy! Talk about a much needed life changing experience that would be!
You will all make it .. have faith .. trust in God’s plan for you and you will make it through
His story left me feeling very emotional and empowered to continue my journey with recovery. I've been to many meetings. I've heard many stories, but that story touched my heart like no other. Thank God for blessing me with this gift that touched me so deeply
What a legend massive respect to Chris I understand him totally
I am sober 70 days now thank you chris
My dad and his brothers grew up with Chris in Fall River, MA. He’s an absolute legend for so many reasons
I'm starting to detox from heroin tomorrow that's y I just needed to watch some videos to get me motivated

my brother died from methadone overdose with cocaine, and I thought alcohol is legal so its not that bad but I realize after another blackout its a HUGE problem and I want to be sober. I have addictive genes, im ready for a change, thank u so much for this.
My brother died from a heroin overdose I myself am an alcoholic I know where your comeing from stay strong
I needed to hear this today. Thank you so much for sharing.
I thank God for people that share their struggles and triumphs over addiction. It let's people like me know I am not alone in the battle to become who I should be and tried to be after failing many times...
Dana,
From my own experience, "battling" any addiction is living in the problem, instead of the solution. I tried 500 times to "not drink", and failed every time. The moment I started living differently, was the moment I began to recover. I had to "surrender" to the fact that I couldn't fix myself with my thoughts. Only through action, do we recover. All the best to you! Mark
@@markg.4246 I face same shit but thank God am getting better now.
Chris Herron your message is so moving that it makes me cry hearing about you, You came to my school today Southmont High school I wish you would come every year now
Thank you, Chris. We show your DVD at local treatment centers in the Twin Cities. We appreciate all you do. Bless you and your fam, brother.
I live in the Twin Cities, go to meetings on a regular basis, and believe that "bad days", are bullshit! My sobriety date is 5/8/1994. Happy to discuss anytime!
My heart is touched!

Does the depression ever lift
Thank you Chris. Watched you the first time when I was 22 addicted to herion at my first rehab. I'm 31 and 3 months ago entered my 4th rehab, I had 67 days then out of no where it's like I compleltly blacked out and next thing I realize I'm once again shooting heroin. But I didn't let it control me as much, I'm not doing it multiple times a day for days, weeks, months in a row. Even tho I mess up and use I try with everything to not letting it take me over, to the point where I'm spending my day only worrying about my next bag to shoot and how to get more money for the next bag. To me it's the little victories. I can't seem to fully control it and cut it out of my life permanently, but what a difference it is compared to 6 months ago. I try and fail multiple times a day but I always try again. Some days I am tired of trying and give up and try to pretend and forget but after a decade of escaping reality and pretending it gets so hard to try to pretend. Now I don't run from that stuff, I embrace every good and bad feeling and tell my self it's judt being human and let it wash over me, try not to fight or numb feeling/emotion and let it go as fast as it came. Every human from the beginning of time has had bad thoughts and feelings or insecure or weird feelings, so don't isolate cus everyjbe can relate and don't self destruct with pity or regret because there's time to live another life, change the past by changing the shitfy behaviors now thay way soon people look at you differently, making it seem like your a ckmplelty different person now than in the past
Must be so hard mate keep going be strong god will bring you out the other end of the tunnel and pull you thought the stormes of life mate my god pull you out faster than you would than you think just trust him and hang in there god is in there you just have to keep him in your site were ever you go mate all the best maria
Fullybaked219, thank you for sharing your story! Just like Chris said, it's such a journey getting free!
But I encourage you, you are so precious! Please continue to fight the good fight! You are worth it! Becoming who you were always meant to be!
I encourage you that GOD made a way in my life, so I could walk in greater freedom! If it wasn't for HIM, I would have committed suicide. I was so angry with myself and ALL the ways I fell short!
Every day HE keeps me, HE holds me, HE calls me HIS own, HE reminds me that when everything else fails, HE'S still FAITHFUL!
GOD BLESS YOU on your journey towards LIFE! 💞🙏💞

⚠️ It's an ADDICTION that you can't control when you take it. But you CAN control it when you don't take it. ⚠️
Im a recovering meth addict. I live in a sober house in gorham it's called courage house. It's an awesome place. I am a peer support and recovery leader. I've done a lot of positive things but still I'm an addict. I hade 2.5 years of recovery and 6 months ago I relapsed, I've been clean for 3 weeks now, a now im loving life. I think im done with drugs. I feel if I keep using I will be dead by the end of the year. I have children that I haven't met yet i want them to know who I am. These video's help me stay clean and they give me the boost that I need to stay clean. Ty for your support.
This is the most moving testimony I’ve ever watched. I sobbed. I will save this and send to others that are struggling. This is just ‘wow’. Chris, thank you for sharing your journey 💙
24 days sober and going trough a very tough time. I feel like I could relapse at any moment. The only thing stopping me is that I just KNOW that as soon as that poison touches my lips, I will instantly feel like the biggest loser
This was such a beautiful, heartbreaking and honest account of knowing we are broken. However, we are always guided to the right places and the right people at the right time. I feel very blessed to have heard your story. I love the facts that somebody could see your mother tell you that message I also am an empath and I feel things on such a strong level I don't know why I just know that it is a friend of mine was recently contemplating suicide All I could say was that I could feel his father I don't know why never met the man but I could feel him around me and I needed to tell him and he listened. I too suffer from an affliction unlike you I was always confident in my early years it wasn't till it was 29 till I started listening to other people and believing what they said. I have been battling since 1999 but I have been fighting everyday since. Your story brought me to tears with sadness understanding and hope I live right outside of Massachusetts so I love listening to your accent. You have made a difference in my day and I want to say thank you and pass it on my gratitude to you
Chris thank you very much for being BOLD enough to share your story that is impacting many people and for being part of the crusade! Blessings Champ!
I will do this Chris. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m going to share this with my best friend’s 33 year old son who got out of rehab today. I swear, I don’t think he’ll stay sober, but I will stand by him as much as I can to feed him SOBRIETY. Praying to GOD he will get “it” soon!! 🙏🙏
I’m seriously crying hearing this story, nothing made me cry like that for ages !
Today (24th/10/2021 )I will be starting my sobriety journey In Sha Allah ,May Allah help me I have struggled with the evil voice in my head.I wont allow my life to go down in shamble.Doing it for Mother ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love you Mom as you have never given up on me no matter the situation/mess I was in ,time to make you proud.
Brother I know this is a long time ago but how are you doing ? I hope you are good inshallah. You can do it bro it’s hard and it’s gonna be a daily battle for life but the longer you are clean the easier it gets. What helped me was praying namaz and remembering our creator and asking him to guide me and help me stay on my deen and away from all evil especially drugs . I would pray everyday and still do and ask Allah swt to keep me on the straight path
9/5/15 sober and filled up with the holy spirit. My son born 6/25/16
I've just got out rehab I'm 5 months in sobriety this is so good very touching and emotional
Your story brought me to tears..been an addict for 14 yeard
The most heartbreaking speech I’ve listened to and the moment about having to disappear and not be a dad will stick to me forever.I watched this in my rehab in California as I’m watching it again as I’m at the rehab house at this moment.I have another chance to not let that happen to me.I love my son sooo much
Hang in there. Your not alone.
Shit made me cry
I'm 32 years old and today is Day 1 again... but I keep coming back!
This makes me cry every time I hear his story
This talk never gets old! Powerful!

Even after two years of losing my cousin of a heroin overdose it hurts so much to hear his story. I never got to say a goodbye to him and I hope he really lives his life. His story makes me cry every single time. It’s so painful. I feel so alone and I need some kind of hope.
Sam, that's satan telling you, you are alone, you are Not alone! How could you be alone, every breath we take comes from God, if you were alone you would be pushing up daisies in some cemetery, sir! Live your life in such a manner that you give honor to God and the memory of your cousin. Your cousin is still alive in your ❤️ and memories which you can view on the movie screen of your mind anytime you want. Use the miracle of RUclips on your big screen tv, type in Soakstream scriptures ( or some spiritual nourishment of your choosing) to start your day, guard your ❤️ and mind against attacks from satan by studying the Word of God, end your days with a prayer of Thanks. We are praying for you, Sam, you Will be successful in your quest providing you trust and believe in the Power of the Holy Comforter (the Holy Spirit).

I remember watching Chris Heren play basketball. He was definitely one of the great guards. The craziest thing was when he was on the court, he looked like the most confident young man, completely in control of his environment. I knew he had some problems off the court, but it wasn't until the 30for30 ESPN documentary, did I really know about the nightmare of a life he was leading off the court and the saddest part was what he put his wife and children through. His wife Robin is an absolute rock and Saint of a human being. Sticking with Chris through chance after chance, it makes you say to yourself this can't be real! I remember him talking about the guy at the addiction center, saying the bravest thing you could do is tell your family that your not coming back, that all you are is a weight around their neck and you are better off just dying! They locked him every day in the pot sink. I think it was a month straight where he had to be in that room for 18 hours a day, just scrubbing and cleaning all the dishes for the whole center. He said in that little room where you could barely lay down, he found his soul! It's been 4 years now where I have been sober and not taken any opioids! I just want to thank you Chris for the inspiration! Like he says everyday is a new 24hours where you have to battle that demon. You have to take it a day at a time!
