    2 years dude. Well done man. Massive congrats. Mentioned this early on when you first mentioned your struggles but I haven't touched anything in 23 years. Stopped at 19 and every year that went past it got better and better. Im at the point now where I dont even remember the bad part of my life. If I can do it then you reading this can too. Reach out to friends and family and take that first step. Dont suffer alone. Stay strong. One day at a time.

      I’ve been watching your videos for around a year now and your videos have helped open my eyes to the natural beauty I’m missing out on. Especially living in London, if only Ontario was a drive away. As soon as is possible for me I’m going to go camping and bit by bit push myself to hopefully be as good as you. After watching for a year I would never have guessed that you struggled with alcohol and or drugs, which is brilliant when you think about it. Congratulations on two years sober, you’re In inspiration. Thank you for your amazing content.

    Xander, you're an inspiration in more ways than one. Since the first time I've heard you open up about your history with drugs and alcohol, you have been at the forefront of my thoughts of people who have not only successfully rid themselves of their addiction problems, but also managed to turn their lives around afterwards. In my eyes, your youtube career is, at least in one sense, both a reflection and a documentation of that growth as a human being.
    I have personally decided to follow down this path towards a life free of addiction as well - today marks a humble but resolute closing of my first 3 weeks sober. Here's to many more weeks to come, both for myself, for you, and to everyone else out there struggling with these issues.

    I'm struggling so much with drugs and alcohol again, partly to do with depression from a very young age, but having to be a Key Worker cleaning the streets of London I fell back into using, but my alcohol intake became much more extreme, so I've now got to dig really deep inside my good self and the good positive side of my personality because basically it's becoming a Do Or Die situation, and I don't want to die just yet, I still feel I want more from life and watching your channel and knowing that you know what that struggle is like, going out into the wilderness and surviving that seems so much easier and so much more fun that the torrid depths of addiction, thanks for your words and actions Xander I've now got a little more hope in my heart ♥

    Well done Xander! Really great to hear your 2 years clean. You have been so honest with it all and I have only been watching your channel for a year. Say the least I would never have thought you had a troubled past. But that just proves how well you are doing. Great advice to those that need it.
    Not to shy away from your great content and inspiring attitude to get outdoors wherever anyone is. You sure have me itching to get myself out and getting my family out.
    If you do get round to reading this. I'm a space nerd. I love your night sky time lapses. I bet the night sky is clearer than most get to see. The clearest I've seen is in Afghanistan.
    Keep up the good content . Peace

    Proud to hear - gives me some hope. I'm fighting my own battles with substances but the biggest battle is the fight to be happy.
    Keep doing what makes you happy! I hope I wont be far behind.
