I'm 38 months clean off heroin and it always makes me smile on the inside to hear it when another person has made it out alive. This guy has a way with words. This is an awesome interview
He sure does have a way with words... Congratulations to you on the 38 months!!! That's awesome! Life has bad days where you've probably thought about using,but you've been strong! Keep it up Champ!!
8 years off dope for me. 3 years off methadone. Hardest thing in my life to overcome. Props to anyone and everyone to was able to swim against the tide and make it out alive.
@@XxGlaciersOfIcexX I know it can feel terrible when thinking about coming completely off suboxone. I had to do it 5 times before it finally stuck. The thing that worked for me was cutting the strips into 1/16” wide pieces and took them only when I had to (this is of course after tapering down to 2 mg’s per day) best of luck to you and anyone else kicking dope, subs, or methadone.
This man needs a Ted Talk. I can rarely make it through an entire interview without pausing or fast forwarding, but he's got a gift. Straight up poetic. Poignant. Amazing story.
Him taking that job at Verizon wireless where he was twirling the sign shows true humbleness. And God saw that and blessed him even further with the acting job!
Yup, he could have said F that. And kept that arrogant spirit. He chose the right path. Takes a real man to do that, he didn't know what would happen yet did it anyway.
God doesn't bless you with jobs and acting careers or money, the root of all evil....his gift is being able to talk to other people and hopefully help them with addiction...and to let you know, I believe in God and I'm an addict in recovery...I pray, not everyday , but I do pray and I pray for everyone other than myself because i feel selfish, so I offer all my suffering to those who have a harder life than all of us , including me, you too sour diesel and DJonly at the end of my prayer I ask if I am worthy enough for God to give me the want and the strength to kick opiates...
You are an inspiration my brother.After 20 years of actively using herion I am clean for my first year. Life couldn’t get any better. I love waking up everyday. Congrats man keep killing it.
@@room616oc it's your mind, if u start paying attention (from the first moment when u wake up, til the last thing before u fall asleep) & begin to question that voice in ur head, what it is telling you (im bored, i have this problem, that problem, this complaint, etc., etc.)& realize that u don't have to believe everything that you think, that the voice in your head is not only not looking out for your best interests, it is trying to get u killed (isn't that true?) that's a good place to start.
This is my first video I have watched on this channel. Thanks for letting me know that this is the best this channel has to offer. This Hurc guy could barley make it through his first sentence lol
Wow. From a 68-year old white retired guy whose only law violation was a couple of speeding tickets, this is an amazing story. I have the utmost respect for DJ and applaud Herc for putting this sort of message out there. I love Herc's videos and have just ordered DJ's book. Thanks to both of you guys for enriching my life and that of many young men who may be tempted to go down the wrong path.
What does being white have to do with it plenty of us white peoples have been in these same situations. Thanks to the downfall of western civilization and the boomers destroying the very fabric of This nation.
my 27th birthday is tomorrow and im not where i want to be in life, but hearing his story and how he changed his life completely even at the age of 36 it gives me hope. i really appreciate it man
You know he's come full circle when he realized even the negative things that happened to him all made him into the man he's become....excellent episode.
The small detail of Herc letting the silence go after a major point is made, makes the story so powerful. It gives us a chance to really let it sink in. Thank you!! Every 12 year old should listen to this man.
This is literally one of the best videos of any kind on RUclips. This man is such a good speaker, a good story teller. So much wisdom and insight and just humanity. These men are my brothers.
God bless this man. I’m in recovery, too. Never been to jail. Never was a tough guy. But I was an addict and I know that struggle. When he was talking about being scared to start the process, I felt that in my soul. Bless the both of you.
Man... Honestly Big Herc this Is probably one of the best videos you put out. So Inspiring and so motivating to see someone's success grow and that anything is possible. Loved the video. Keep posting more content!!!!
FACTS🤦♂️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💯💯💯💯‼ Kicked 150mg of methadone in a jail cell cold turkey after 5yrs str8 and it was the WORST WITHDRAWALS I have ever had in my life, BIGGEST BATTLE EVER. SICK FOR A GOOD 2Plus Months 💯💯💯💯‼
@@chefcurry787 congrats you’re the man for staying clean. You’re a warrior brother props to you. I kicked H after 5 years. I recently relapsed and have been homeless for the past couple of weeks. Just trying hard to get back on my feet. And people like you with your story inspire me to keep fighting thank you from the bottom of my heart
@@chefcurry787 I know how it feels bro I've kicked dope methadone Xanax multiple times and jail never made it to prison thank God but yeah they just leave you to rot and I know how long methadone withdrawals last for so you ain't even got to tell me but thank God we made it through idk how but we did ✌️
Thanks for sharing your story and encouragement! 10.5 yrs in myself started a small business about 4 yrs ago and pretty much lost everything over the last 16 months or so and NEEDED this 🙏
This proves you can change..my life changed 31 years ago when I decided I had really had enough pain..and my family had suffered too..we have a great life now I’m sober…it’s still my number one priority..guys like this are so valuable as they really know the score and can tell younger people their experience…great achievement..
This was extremely inspiring. The fear of detoxing is almost as bad as the actual detox. Happy for this guy. Getting locked up is more effective than any rehab facility
@@pitbull82 exactly brother. I was doing pills an stopped a yr ago cause I told my doctor I was tired of being in handcuffs and being dependent on a substance and he's like ok and switched me to subs to come off perks and bro the fucking subs are even worse!!!! I've been weening my self off them against my doctor's orders. It's all a trap and they're making millions off of us!!
@@pitbull82 oh man, that’s the core of addiction right there (“just this last time, and then I’m done with this stuff forever...”) [plot spoiler - it rarely turns out that way]
@@pitbull82 go get some Kratom use it as needed for the first 7 days then taper off for 3 to 5 days don't go over 2 wks of total use . You got this bro
Ugh, I cherish never feeling that fear, madness and illness ever again, here's to health and life! Suffering is only a waste without growth in the long run. DJ your story is so strong and terrifically told, superb title too. God showing up strong when called upon. You are not alone in that respect brother.
Big Herc and DJ are inspirations to show that anyone can be successful after failure. Both have found the God within and a salute to them for sharing their story. Awesome.
I watched this when it came out and circled back today, phenomenal insight and interview and I appreciate you letting him get this off without constant interruptions like a lot of these interviewers I watch. Much respect.
Real talk... I love that he gives props and does not act like he knows everything... very humble.... honesty... talking like that, WILL save lives.. thats a true definition of a hero... he talks like he has N.A. recovery aswell.... very cool...I relate to him.... thank you ...I like the part that he said "everything in my past is an asset"... he killed it.....very cool
DJ has an amazing story he turned a curse into a blessing. He has done things to turn a negative mindset into a positive life of humility. It's truly a beautiful thing to see how he changed his life around and transformed a negative lifestyle into a successful lifestyle. He learned to love himself in ways that he couldn't ever imagine he could during his younger years of life and he is free from prison and remains to maintain a positive mindset and lifestyle. I personally love to hear success stories like DJ's accomplishing things in life that so many can only dream of living! I send nothing but peace, love, & respect from here in St Louis. May the most high God continue to shower DJ with blessings and the strength to live life for many more years to come!
Man this is the best one I ever seen salute hurt and salute to that brother right there man God is good no matter where you at in life God always going to come to you don't you come to a God thanks for the son I don't know how old this is but I just saw this man
I started throwing up and a dude told me if I didn't stop he was gonna put me to the wall until the guards came and took me away. Im no punk but this dude was one of the most terrifying people I've ever seen. Think Big Herc but tatted up and ANGRY. Luckily I didn't throw up anymore. I bonded, and never looked back.
I admire this brother. When I was young everybody said I'd end up in prison or dead. I became Muslim at 17, then joined the military (I hated it), with a wife and 4 kids decided to get my Bachelor's (high honors) at 36 while working 40-50 hours and full-time courses, then my Masters, traveled 30 countries, lived overseas, etc. I still don't know how I pulled it off. I made my kids attend all of my academic award ceremonies to see they can do even more. All of my childhood friends are shocked at my life, I've done more by 40 years old than most in a lifetime. It was hard as hell, but I never gave up.
This man faced it *ALL* and still came out of those trials through Hell as a *HERO*... Much respect, admiration, and best wishes as you continue to move forward, DJ. #Ghost #Killers #GhostLoc #StreetHero
Man you two are such a powerful combination! The chemistry and impact is deep and rare. The world needs more motivational influence 💪🏼🙏🏼 #motivationmovement
Thank you for sharing your story. I am an educator in the Bay Area who has striven for many years to help young brothers to recognize their value, and respect their talent, time and opportunity as well as process their pain and turn their fire into sun. Respect! Keep doing what you are doing. It’s working!
God is good. Had a 15 year prison sentence that I made parole on after doing 3 years and I never looked back . College graduate (1st in family to go to college and earn degree) married with kids #amen #subscribed
Dj Verrett seems like a cool and humble guy. Very strongminded person to be able to make it through what he experienced and still walk away with wisdom a sound mind and staying humble.🙏🙏🙏 God bless you Dj Verrett!
Iv watched all the videos with this guy. I could listen to him talk all day. He seems truly sincere and serious. Also Herc it would be cool to see you and Jay Wiiliams from "Lets Live Life" do an interveiw and talk about differences between California and Virginia, or whatever comes up.
Nah bruh HERC & jay are way different.. I listen to Jay,but dude got way to many stories for only doing 10 yrs! . Hell my mom's old BF had stories & he was in & his whole Life, mostly in! Jay will drop a white dude's name,but not so much a black guys... Pay attention to that. It makes me wonder why🤔
Powerful interview Herc. That moment of clarity in the life of an addict. I can relate and I’m very happy and thankful the brother Ghost man came through it a better man. It brings tears to my eyes when he was relating the raw pain. Damn. His life is amazing, he reminds me a lot of Jamie Foxx the way he tells a story, just fucking fantastic.. I’m so happy for this guy.
One of the best interviews wow good stuff listened to every second of it I'm 40 and I know that life is bull freedom is priceless enjoy life people's 💙🙏👋
I couldn't imagine a Worst Hell on Earth situation then to be Dope sick while locked up. The best way to describe Dope sick is to imagine having the Worst Flu in your life while having a Nervous breakdown. Now add in your locked up. Hell on Earth.
First of all: Respect to DJ, that's one hell of a story! Second of all: Respect to that CO, who saw that DJ changed his life and gave him 4 years off. Ressources (mainly taxes) saved, ex-prisoner empowered and relieved and the CO can work on another case. Being in the process of learning prisoner rehabilitation in my country myself, I find this very encouraging and not only because some of my childhood friends had to go to prison or jail themselves as well.
This dude's as cool as they come. He made the right plays and deserved all the good that came back from it. If he can do it coming from where he's from. We ALL can. Great interview.
God, grant me the serenity to except the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Just for today.
Wow what an amazing story. Once you started to believe in yourself and your perception and outlook on life changed, you changed. Continue on your road to this thing that we call life.
“When I abandoned the life my thinking created, and I can live the life my soul intended me to live.. I’m supposed to live the quality of life I live now. That other shit, that was me doing all that.” Every time he humbled himself the blessings came and then multiplied. Amazing lesson, love it.
Straight up... real talk. It ain't no game on the inside. Completely different language, laws and rules (mentality). You gonna learn if you don't know. What a beautiful transformation and great point of view of overcoming your past history. It really does not define you. Keep striving brother, you're an inspiration for others to follow. Stay Insired, blessings.

DJ, many ingredients to allow success in life but humility might be my favorite. Separating your image from your humanity is the key, thank you.
Damn hella proud of this brotha his story is amazing keep pushing.
AWESOME!! God Bless these brothers.
“Just send me some pictures dog, and continue to take my phone calls” I been in before I felt that💪🏽💯
The universe is just waiting for you to see your own value - yesssss so true
I couldn't imagine a Worst Hell on Earth situation then to be Dope sick while locked up.
The best way to describe Dope sick is to imagine having the Worst Flu in your life while having a Nervous breakdown. Now add in your locked up. Hell on Earth.
You hit that right on the head.
That's crazy. How long does being dope sick last?
exactly what i was thinking a living nightmare would be bad enough at your own home let alone in the joint!
add in your bones aching, skin burning, you can't sleep for 5 days straight, can't keep food down, damn
@@OptimusPrime12190 depends on how long and how much you use. Plus your mental has a lot to do with it. Could be a week or could be a month.
This needs to be one of the biggest channels on UTUBE, nothing but truth and facts and real men willing to teach the younger generation
First of all: Respect to DJ, that's one hell of a story!
Second of all: Respect to that CO, who saw that DJ changed his life and gave him 4 years off. Ressources (mainly taxes) saved, ex-prisoner empowered and relieved and the CO can work on another case. Being in the process of learning prisoner rehabilitation in my country myself, I find this very encouraging and not only because some of my childhood friends had to go to prison or jail themselves as well.
Wow! An amazing life!
Inspirational journey through life
This a really great story, thanks.
Brilliant listen &; inspiration too 💯
This warms my heart man.
This dude's as cool as they come. He made the right plays and deserved all the good that came back from it. If he can do it coming from where he's from. We ALL can. Great interview.
This was very motivational.
That is appreciation of life he wasn't done yet
Brought me to tears man great interview
God, grant me the serenity to except the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Just for today.

@@rottenapplelifestyle1683 it’s surprising how people still make typos
Brutal honesty. September 14 I'll be sober 9 years. Thank you thank thank you. One day at a time.
It's tight you got merch but I could never wear a t-shirt that says cheekbuster on it 😂 all love
You not a real cheek buster so it wouldn’t make sense
OFC only female cheeks
Wow what an amazing story. Once you started to believe in yourself and your perception and outlook on life changed, you changed. Continue on your road to this thing that we call life.
DJ IS SO INTERESTING AND WHAT A LIFE STORYTELLER! WOW!🙂👍🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Brother is amazing. Bless up !!
“When I abandoned the life my thinking created, and I can live the life my soul intended me to live.. I’m supposed to live the quality of life I live now. That other shit, that was me doing all that.”
Every time he humbled himself the blessings came and then multiplied. Amazing lesson, love it.
Powerful & Awsome ✊🏽💯👍🏽🙏🏽
That's a hell of a story. Best one I've heard in a while.
Straight up... real talk. It ain't no game on the inside. Completely different language, laws and rules (mentality). You gonna learn if you don't know. What a beautiful transformation and great point of view of overcoming your past history. It really does not define you. Keep striving brother, you're an inspiration for others to follow. Stay Insired, blessings.
Need more stories from ghost 💯💯
By far one of the most successful stories that I have ever heard.
