The 🐐 has returned. 1 hour long. 5 seconds in and his eyes already closed. This ones gonna be good. Being someone in the heroin game for a long time, i love listening to OGs story, he fr been thru it
Greatest of all time . 😎😎😎
Yup not like anything like these youngsters stuck on "blues" they all have the same story
@@omaha1361
Oh don't be so jealous because people aren't talking about you😒
@@wesleyalan9179Exactly. 😂😂😂
@@omaha1361 to me hes the goat of this channel and i genuinely believe his stories cuz the ways he tells them if u been there u kno
Man, I've missed Jonny!!!!
Cool account name 👍………. Herb ⬆️
You ever watcj the Gator story
Straight up.
Sammme!!
@@blacksilverchair3315 fr same here. we need spooky back
Johnny is by far the best glimpse into the drug/gang/real underbelly of life. I watch every single video from the beginning to the end sometimes several times. He is a amazing story teller and he makes you feel like you are right there with him going through his life. PLEASE keep him coming back for more.
CHARISMA is the word 🙂
Yes more Johnny ❤😊
Johnny is the one that this entire series is made for. His intelligence continues to leave me dumbfounded.
I would just like to say that this channel and johhnys stories have done so much for me personally, I have been a heroin addict for 2 years and I've made my first week sober. I'll never forget Johnny's story about smelling Roses flowers, all smells of life coming back. i was crying. a real one who knows. mad love to mark and Johnny. you guys have done so much for me. this channel needs to be taught in schools!
Hope you’re still clean, rooting for you. Life is so much better clean 🤍 heroin&meth addict
I agree. My school always had anti-drug presentations, usually led by a "professional" showing us boring slide shows with facts and statistics about abuse. That stuff is important, but it isn't going to resonate with kids/teenagers. You know what does? Listening to first hand experience from a guy who lived through the experience tell you how bad it was. Johnny doesn't try to scare you straight; him telling you the unaltered reality of what he experienced is enough to tell you that this isn't a life for anyone.
1 week dats so gud 👍 dats the sickness 😷 done... now it's Yr mind u hav to fight wit . U done a whole week keep going anthr c week and u wil feel so good abt yourself b proud
Hope ur still clean bro !
Everybody needs a passion & a calling in life without it you'll fall for any game going that new & hot to you. ...hanging with drug users leads a lost person without a passion to follow them down the drain
I’ve been waiting for johnny’s interviews. They’re my favourite🥰🥰
Johnny's sister detected! ;-)
Johnny the man
More like “interviews,” haha, Mark has it easy with our favorite Johnny: Press Record,” kick back.
Favorite*
Why he is a certified liar
The way Johnny tells a story I'm right there with him, in the car, hopping the fence hiding in the bushes, good storytelling 😎
I know right!!
I swear😂😂😂
No doubt
I swear I walked into the drains with him and saw the tents on stilts, While being able to smell the shit water running underneath and seeing the rats and roaches right there with me
Hitting that pipe
Word I feel you dawg
Man Johnny has me hanging on every word he says when he is story telling. This guy is my all time favorite and one of the main reason I come to this channel. Please keep bringing him back. Johnny should write a book of all his life story, it would be a best seller
There would be so many volumes he can go on forever I think
seriooo
He’s my main reason to 💯💯
I think the audio book would be even better.
Too bad it's 90% bulshit
I hope Johnny sees all these comments and sees the love he’s getting. He holds himself in a high respectful manner. Speaks nothing but facts, there’s a reason everyone gets excited to see him.
I agree! I hope he’s ok 💯
“It’s hard to get clean when your environment is made of dirt.”
Completely completely random but with that saying you gave me a whole new perspective on the author junji ito’s glyceride def recommend it to anyone into horror but yeah thanks
'You can't heal, in the same place that you got sick"
Needed to see these comments. Thank y’all
@@alexisself8753 hope you're okay ❤
💯
When Johnny says he's seen it all I 100% believe him
👍 100%!
The only one on here where I don’t question what comes out of his mouth! And he really is such a great storyteller.
Even with his eyes closed?
Let’s all close our eyes together with Jonny and listen to him.
I always do...
Yea let’s all do heroin too, smh idiot
@@saulm3252 who hurt you 🤓💀
he keeps his eyes closed long enough for all of us
Doin it
"Some people go to Penn state, some people go to the state pen". Best Johnny interview I've seen
Johnny has a clear perspective of the world around him and, without hesitation, articulated why drugs lead to a dead end ~ Well Done, Johnny!
Gratitude and Humility go a long long way in remaining sober. Johnny brought me back to my former life. I pray he can taste long-term sobriety. Thank you Mark.
This man never ever disappoints. And I am here for it every single time, Thank you Professor Johnny!!! You have been missed!!! 💯🧑🏽🎓💕😎
Amen to that 🔥
More like heroin Johnny
Johnny, you are hands down one of the best storytellers on RUclips. I listen to your playlists of videos in the background of my daily activities and am always grabbing your golden nuggets of advice about life and how to live. You talk about you coming back from your overdoses and I believe it’s because your time here was not done on this earth. Your story needed to be heard to heal yourself, to heal others. I wish you nothing but the best. Keep telling amazing stories.
If the eyes are closed then the audience knows we’re going to get a treat from johnnys good ole life story ! Love you Mark ! 🖤⚡️
Lol! Straight up! 💯✔
Dose anyone know how to get ahold of Mark?
@@jorgecarrillo6671 I don’t but I wish , maybe comment?
Thank you very kind
I thought maybe he was blind. This is the 1st time I'm seeing him.
Johnny's one of the only storytellers I know that can make an hour feel like 5 minutes 😳
Johnny is entertaining and very wise from his experiences - I enjoy listening to his stories. Stay cool, Johnny and keep coming back to visit with Mark.
It is always a blessing, to hear Johnny speak. The man is intelligent and observant,. His recollections are some of the most entertaining, and educational that Soft White Underbelly offers. Thank you both, Johnny and Mark!
He is a fantastic storyteller. This was a treat. He’s telling so many truthsX this is invaluable. Well done.
If they ever make a movie about Johnny's life and Danny Trejo don't play Johnny then someone is fired
Lmaoooo
@@user-il6bh2se4j johnny needs to play johnny
Lol
No, he doesn't do Johnny justice.
Danny Trejo is 77
Johnny is one of my favorite interviews. He keeps it real and doesn’t cap AT ALL. Imagine all the kids and people we could save if people like Johnny went into schools and speak just like this. I guarantee you’ll see a huge drop in drug use amongst kids. It could be a huge benefit to society and Johnny could benefit as well. Instead, schools want cops and people who have no idea what they’re talking about trying to talk to kids and kids can see that. So much raw knowledge that can be put to good use
Johnny makes it sound so much fun, the kids would sling the next day. No, this a adult material right here. Johnny is great but don't let the kids see him.
@@whotelakecity2001 it’s not about making it sound fun, it’s showing them the reality of what drugs do to your life. If I was a kid and had seen Johnny come into my school talking like that, I would have been scared shitless and wouldn’t of ever touched a single drug. Not so much the tougher kids but the ones who are coddled are the ones who need the reality check.
@@GraV21 He looks a lot like an action movie hero, especially to young kids.
@@whotelakecity2001 lol I don’t know about all that. I like Johnny but if I was younger I would see a burn out. He doesn’t romanticize his life, he just tells it like it is. One of the best ways to be able to learn something is to experience it firsthand or learn from someone else’s mistakes. Also, unfortunately alot of kids don’t have father figures in their lives to be able to sit down and talk to them about stuff like that, so I feel it’s important m. Just my 2¢
He should look into being a prison awareness counselor . or a gang awareness counselor he would be awesome johnny think about it worked the scared for straight program in the day i know amitty ranch foundation and homeboy industries .. Would be great for u. U would be a asset .. Big time homie.
I Listen to Johnny when I’m driving for work. He’s an extremely talented story teller and helps me pass the time whilst driving. Thanks for sharing
Yes 😀 the G of the G's is back on the channel!!
Much love Johnny and Mark, keep up the great work. Love from Ireland
Love ya
Here’s Johnny the man with the best story telling vibes ever💯
One of the best guests without a doubt on this show. He's a natural. Thanks for sharing your stories with us. 😊
Johnny is so knowledgeable he could be an motivational speaker. Much respect ✊🏾
Mark should sell a set of these interviews to schools....every middle school kid should watch these.
Truth!! He could really make a living. Storytelling is a skill
To give up shoes is a no no for Johnny. Everyone has their own deal breaker.
😁👍
to give up shoes should be a no no for everyone
Lol. Yeah
Hell yea this interview is gonna get me through my work shift.
👍
I was falling asleep the last 2 hrs of my shift when i saw this it woke me wide up and those 2 hrs went by quick
Johnny is the most genuine person alive! I appreciate hearing his detailed stories from the hood, he's a very articulate guy. I would never have insight on that lifestyle without his testimony. Thank you Mark for shining a light on his story!
Absolutely love watching his videos. There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t been commented already on all of his videos. Captivating, honest, authentic, he’s all of that. More and more of Johnny please!
Maan, a whole hour went by so fast. I love listening to this dude talk. Best story teller with the best flow. Never thought he was glorifying it because I know he's telling his truth. Everyone has their own truth and there will always be others who misinterpret it wrong or spin it to fit what they know or don't know. You do you. Also,
Great video💕
Heroin was the hot thing for Mexican peeps in the city of angles & NYÇ...poor of course & they dream of ounces& pounds for sale wheeling & dealiñg dope as much as they can use...
I could listen to Johnny tell stories all day.
Johnny has a comforting smooth quality in his voice that one has from heavy life experience. Mark, this passion of yours is so meaningful. You don't realize the ripple effects of continuing to bring us the voices we NEED to hear, be aware of, support and lift up or BE lifted up by an interview. Thank you Mark ♥️
NO WAY ANOTHER HOUR OF JONNY!!! Had no idea this one was out. My favourite story teller and possibly my favourite guest. BRING BACK SPOOKY
This one was real good. He's always good, but this was great, everything he said was bang on and it brought me back so many times. Thanks Johnny for being so f****ng real!
As a fellow addict his heroin stories are spot on, even how it blocks your sense of smell from things like roses.
As someone who used and sold drugs for about a 12 year period that is something I always found interesting. It’s a whole other world that runs parallel to the “normal” peoples lives. You may see a glimpse of it or the very surface but there are millions of little tragedies playing out worldwide. Down alley ways, in parking lots, etc.
Same here. That sketchy parallel world was so captivating that it would consume me sometimes, and after a while it would leave me feeling really depressed and gross. That usually happened when I was in withdrawals. It would bring out the fragility and truth hidden beneath the surface of everyday life.
Amen. One's whole life becomes a series of tragedies mostly invisible to the average citizen.
I've slayed many dragons in my life weed,overdrinking, Coke,Crank later Crystal. Stayed away from heroin cuz who the hell wants to nod,sleep. Then I met opioids, got suckered in cuz da plug was in a lab coat. Kicked oxies weaning myself wit Norco's. Use to bench 315 few years ago ez pee ze.. I'ma get back to that🙏🏼
And if most people could even see a tenth of a percent of that parallel before they arrive there from a series of choices, or stumble upon it by accident and end up stuck there, it would scare the SHIT out of them.
@Remain Focused The reasons you didn't use H is the same reason I and allot of us picked it up instead of Stimulating drugs ...Coke , Crank Molly etc makes me feel so rough I'm too naturally tweaked out and have racing thoughts that's why people like Us chose Downers ..Even though the thought process is different we crave the same thing which is a change of mind you just prefer your change of mind to stimulate your thoughts i want to block em out and nod off.
Mark knew we needed our Johnny fix… blessing us with one whole hour!!!!
Fr😂 what’s your Insta?
Johnny needs to make a movie
He's already making. Sieze the day, thakid *! Have a good one!
YES
@@RicardoBatistaPassos 👍💖😁
With all his stories and all the stuff hes been through. He needs a series. Every eposide will be a different story
martin scorsese needs to watch all of Johnny's interviews and stories and he should literally make a movie out of it
He wouldn’t be able to relate because Johnny does H and all Martin knows how to do is blow scenes lol
I.E. Training Day.
No, Jonny needs to make a movie
Holy shit
I understand what your saying BUT!! It will be sugar coated so bad by Hollywood that it will eliminate the real world out look.
Im willing to bet that Jonny's daughter who asked him if he was done, would hold his hand thru withdrawal. 💞 Go get that job, Jonny.
Exactly 💯
Most def
What job?
Lol trust me Goin thru withdrawal u don't want no1 touching u not even ur daughter
I’m binge watching all of Johnny’s stories while at work.. 🤣😁 His stories are so interesting.. 💯
Lol
God damn you fine shorty 😍😍😍
I love that Johnny doesnt need prompting.. just say "action" and hes off!
😂 I thought the same thing.
Mark won't get a word in edgewise I'm going to take it ?
I'm only 17mins in. Lol
@@aimeem9867 47 mins and I haven't heard him say a word yet I don't think aha
🧡Yay! Johnny is back! Was wondering if we would see him again.. He is one of my faves!🧡
This guy needs to go on joe Rogan
Joe would totally fumble that. Just dosent seem in good taste
The level of accountability he has for his choices is unreal! It’s so rare to hear someone speak so open and honestly about their choices whether good or bad, and accept responsibility for those choices. This guy is truly special…..
Brooooo I asked for a Johnny return video months ago! He’s my favorite white underbelly celebrity. Glad he made it back thanks Mark.
Truly the best ‼️💯😅 Funny as hell, and one of the best story tellers I've ever heard! Definitely the best story teller on this channel, undoubtedly‼️💯 Johnny is my guy‼️ 💯
I love these videos,its a look into other peoples lives,the hard times,the battles people have been through..shame we cant learn through other peoples lives..
I could listen to these life stories all day..
Thanks for this,appreciate it..
The realest interview ever. man this is knowledge a lot of people would never know without being in a place or seeing this. Big love. stay up , stay safe.
Johnny is my favorite on here. A very interesting guy. He has a unique ability to hold your attention with his stories. It's great to see him on here again. It's been quite a long time since his last interview. I saw this today and saved it to watch tonight. Thanks, Johnny Casper! Come back soon!
An hour of Johnny, yes.
Louis and now OG Johnny all back on the same week. Good shit Mark. Keep em coming.
😁💖
Johnny enjoys being on this show. Glad he has at least the camera and you to chat to. You do great work for the people you interview and the people who get to view this content. Thank toy
Been into heroin since my early days. Lost good friends, my best friend, my grandfather, uncle, cousin and my only brother to drugs. Took me 40 years to get free. At one point, when I was slinging shit, my gf and me had an ounce a day habit. Had a diamorphine script for a couple of years and you ain't been strung out until you been strung out from that pure white smack. I am here today and no one is more surprised than me. 3 years in April '22. If I can do it, so can you. Just stay alive until you're ready.
Heck yeah man, always good to hear of someone that got and stayed clean. Congratulations. God bless. Take care
Got to be your choice to kick. Can't do it for your mum for example if long term
Guy has a real talent for telling a story. It's like listening to one of those Audible books.
It is amazing how Johnny has evolved into listening to suggestions from people who critique and share his experiences based on the critiques. He took the platform from venting to educating.
The greatest person you've ever had on here. I want to make tshirts with Johnny's face as a cartoon with the caption "flat screen TV."
I can listen to Johnny talk all day and don’t get tired of it
Who loves the black and white photo in the middle of the video 🙋🏻♀️🥰
I mean, that’s how it all started, many of us are fans of Mark’s photography work ...
I was on oxy 80s and H for seven years. Homie came correct with all this info
Glad you’re doing better.
@@tifKh Ive been clean 3 years now.
Yep. RIP those 80s though.
@@johnnyjacuzzi7498 not the OP’s though OC yes
@@aza1479 hell yeah fuck the OPs. It was always so depressing getting those, knowing even though you have all the mg needed you won’t get that feeling.
Johnny’s videos are the best. This man is such a great storyteller.
God damn...... This is one of the BEST ways I've ever heard anyone describe Heroin addiction. From the thing about making your family wait until you get right before you will go anywhere, to the bathroom with the blood on the ceiling, loving drugs mote than anything else in life, the money you have wasted and what you could have had with that money had it not went to drugs. I love Johnny because everything this dude says is 100% uncut, no bullshit, TRUTH!
Johnny is The Ramones of story telling. 3 hours worth of stories in 1 hour. 1 2 3 4!
i've been waiting for this for some time now, glad to see him again.
I know, you posted a comment on every other video for about 2 weeks asking about Johnny, but lo and behold, and what not, Here's Johnny! Yeey
His videos are amazing completely raw and uncut
He’s very intelligent he could change lives and I pray he is with his background and these videos
Amazing how his stories roll right into another. I luv listening to him 💓
Me to!!!!!
Yal must not be around methHeads enough
That really does make a difference....
It's so nice listening to his story without swearing or do yiu feel me or you understand in every sentence. He's still class.
I've always believed, you can't judge someone for sinning differently than you.
I've been an addict for over half my life, never IV user, but it doesn't put me above or below my brothers & sisters that use via a needle. We're no different.
You're a smart, soulful, weathered man.
You could change a lot of people's lives. People will listen to you.
Sending all my love brother 🖤
"Smart, soulful and weathered", so well said. It captures his whole interview beautifully. 😉💖
I hope you haven’t resigned yourself to living and dying an addict. Life is much better when you aren’t numb. No judgment, but as someone who’s lost a few people I really love to drugs, I’d rather you be here than not ❤️
That's a good one, thanks
Nice reply & I kind feel the same as you but now I'm clean of hammer I hate peeps being stoned on H ...it's an ugly drug for damaged people only not a trend from the 90s
We need more Johnny especially these long videos. He’s a great story teller
Always excited to see Johnny! Partially because it means he’s doing okay and partially because he’s so interesting!
He could easily write a best seller and sell the lyrics and movie rights. "I'm still trying to find a vein" might be a good title... Always interesting, thanks!
👍
Soon as I read your comment he said it...
Him, Spooky, Sharp - they're my absolute favorites. All amazing orators; they really make you feel like you're right there with them.
If Sharp wrote a book: "Get Your Weather Together" lol 😆 😂
@@rannnalynn Get Your Weather Together Church!
bad title
Finally JOHNNY IS BACK!!! I've been waiting 4 a knew interview!!!
4 a knew? Sigh
That was great. As one who has been blessed to see some wild things without falling too deep, this talk was cathartic and gratifying.
Looking forward at world societies, we've got to understand the nature of addiction.
Whew beautiful interview!!! Brutally honest. He took us on such a wild journey reflecting on his life and it was so powerful to see him have the full circle moment from the beginning of the interview when he explains “If you have a choice, make the right choice.. some of us didn’t get that choice” whew 🥺. Just like the quote Kerry Washington said from Little Fires Everywhere.. “You didn’t make good choices, you had good choices.” This man’s story is a living embodiment of that. Wishing him the best 🙏🏾
Gotta love H-Johnny's self-awareness and honest appraisal of himself and his lifestyle. It's time for him to move up and on with things. He's capable. Good luck and God bless H-Johnny💛
🙏✝💖
lol his name is just Johnny.. "H" is heroin aka what the talk is about
H is just the topic of what today’s interview is about. Not his name
@@ryansack5198 gotta love H-Johnny 😂
His name is just Johnny, H means heroin, because he is talking about Heroin most of the time here
Wow, the underground world is literally real. Johnny is captivating.
It’s captivating from the comfort behind your screen. It is very real and miserable and tiring in real life.
I love his mannerisms. The way he uses words like “ individual” or “ lo and behold”.. too good.
This was THE MOST effective anti drug talk YOUVE done yet mark. 🤜🏻
This dude is quite the articulate story teller. Might sound crazy but I could imagine him narrating books or doing voice over work. I’m hoping he makes the decision/the choice to get clean. On a separate note, I went and had some major dental work done where I was prescribed a narcotic for pain afterwards. Normally I won’t take it if I can tolerate the pain but I’ve learned from past experience that it’s wise to get that scripted filled regardless and not need it than to actually need it and not have it. That being said, it’s been many years that I’ve had anything medically done where there was a narcotic needed for aftercare. When my hubby went to pick up the script there was something new and unexpected that came with it. They were giving away a free can of Narcan nasal spray with each narcotic prescription even if it was for temporary use (post surgery) and not long term use. I think it was part of a promotion to make the public aware that Narcan can be purchased over the counter. I don’t personally have a use for it but I kinda feel good knowing that I now have a can of it in my purse. You just never know if it might come in handy.. although I’m hoping not. Has anyone else received this unexpected freebie?
I haven’t had any narcs prescribed nor do I take them. But I have not heard of this and think it’s a great idea. I have been trained in narcan use and given it by the state of TN. It’s free training and free narcan. Training takes about 5 minutes. What state did this?
@@hmmm8552 Maybe everyone should carry one. You never know, it’s such a simple thing, that could save a lot of lives.
I have heard there are agencies that give narcan free.
@@marylougeorge9890 yep, it’s all free. I work in health and safety. I keep it on me like bandaids or a first aid kit.
@@fernandapartridge5174 it’s literally like nose spray. The main thing I learned is what an overdose could look like. I always had a certain image in mind. . Until my neighbor OD in my driveway.
In these current times verbal Communication, conversation and storytelling is a lost art. Johnny you're pretty good at it, you should do other interviews on other podcasts then eventually interview people on your own podcast
im sure part of his skills come from all that time he spent in the pen, no cell phones, lap tops nothin' but sit around and talk all day...and its part of survival...
I'd listen to that 👍
Uhhhh no it’s not. Check out some podcasts.
He needs to be a public speaker! Life, people, and experiences will teach you more than school ever will. He can save someone from doing the wrong thing. Many times we do things because nobody was there to tell you otherwise or they can't tell you otherwise because they're caught up in the same thing. 💯
Very intelligent individual.Johnny would have to be hands down smarter than 90% of the population.🏆
I thought he was winding down but there’s still 45 minutes left! Dude is a trip
Listen to Johnnys stories all day, he says it the way it is 💯🤙🏻🤙🏻
This guy gives a great interview. You don't even have to ask a single question. Word on the street is that he is still talking about his experiences. Mark just ran out of memory on his SD cards, and his cloud is full capacity.
Great interview. When he said once you’ve learned to inject heroin yourself. It’s an entire new ball game. And yeah, Heroin is the ultimate high. But that party ends real quick. That first syringe is the pen, and your blood is the ink
Johnny's speaking the truth ! If you're a Heroin addict, I don't care what you're plans for the day are or who there with, the first thing you're gonna do is get right, it's just that simple.. Alotta people don't really understand drugs... Like smoking Pot, that was fun, still is ! It's something that I can sit down & enjoy, relax w/ it. Being a junkie ain't no Fun ! It's a Damn fulltime job w/ shitty pay, bad hours & no benefits ! It Sucks ! Kid's, Stay in School & get your education, don't cheat yourself outta that...
Well said. I struggled to get any significant time off heroin unless I was in county. Finally gave in and got on a methadone program. For me it worked. But I was tired and for me that way worked. Unfortunately I’ve been on that longer than expected but it did help me to get my life together without slipping up. Down to 14mg now and can’t wait to be totally done. Every day I feel lucky to be outta the dope game before fentanyl took over
@@ericqualley6764 That's good stuff Eric, I'm happy for ya Brother. I'm still @ the Methadone Clinic & have been for some time now but it's certainly better than the alternative. My backstory is very different from most but in the end it's all the same I suppose. I've never been able to come completely off the Methadone is my problem but atleast my life's gotta little direction & stability in it now. Hang in there Brother & take care.👣
Man this one hit home and reminds me how thankful I am that the Lord brought me out of addiction to heroin. I remember my addiction being exactly how he describes. 🙏🏽✝️
How did u detox and how much heroin for how long were u using
@@thedutchmaster420247 I was injecting H and meth for heavily for about 10 years. I went to jail for three weeks, got out and got on Vivitrol for about 9 months.

Sat through the whole interview and never got bored !!!! I love Johnny
"I've never done heroin. I lost the love of my life to heroin, but it must be good because people are willing to die for it"~Lemmy Kilmister
Edit: my aunt died this past May 12th just from alcoholism. Hospice was there for me as I was her caregiver. So, after she passed away, a grief counselor from hospice called me. This grief counselor was also a drug and alcohol counselor too. She told me that if an addict doesn't overdose or die in a drug or alcohol related accident, they very rarely live to 70. My aunt was 70. I loved my aunt. She was family. But, at times, she drove me so crazy. I hated to hear her talk. So, her I am listening to Johnny talk and praying he lives so much longer than 70 years.
Thanks for the reminder Johnny.. I have been off for a couple of years after 15 years of smack addiction... Death was always a step or two away.. rehab/jails became my institution and the streets became my master... I don't miss waking up at 4am slamming while thinking about my plan for the day.. blood all over the place because my veins are shot.. I spent two months in hospital with heart valve infection from a dirty hit in Israel back in 2009 and nearly died with kidney failure and delirium from the fever as well as infection pumping through my veins.. even had mini strokes and they had to drain my lungs from fluid buildup... .. a month out I was slamming again... its not a Gorilla on our backs.. Its KINGKONG... Johnny is REAL.. no cap
Holy chit man that's scary asf
Another amazing, truthful story by our friend Johnny. Depth and raw shit, to help us see and understand HIS experiences. I respect your honesty and integrity bro. Til next time
Mann I’ve missed him!! Thank you for bringing him back. He’s so real
Hell yeah looking healthy Johnny!! Keep it up. You look more relaxed, happier, healthier! This interview is going to help somebody out there who is struggling. “Don’t quit…maybe try doing less” Great advice
I was riveted the entire time♡♡♡
Love it♡♡
Everyone needs to hear this.
Thank you so much for sharing
I would like to hire Johnny as my protector and as a private detective.
Fell asleep in my chair watching this. I woke up and he’s still talking!
At least you had a family that stayed around! I like that you’re educating people that don’t know how drugs are, how each drug effects you. You’re raw, honest about the addiction. When you talk people listen.
