We are so proud of you brother 🖤 love you so much and we knew you could do it!
Love you guys, thanks for being there for the rest of us when we can’t physically be there. Xxx
It’s heartwarming to see support from Colin’s community.. my respect just went up for you
❤❤❤
Hey Collin, I just wanted to say that it takes big cajones to share your rehab journey with all of us. I’m a diabetic type 2 which I found out about because I was injured on my job 2 different times and it caused me to gain weight from not being able to walk while I was recovering from my 5 surgeries. Also it runs in my family on both sides. My mom got it from her alcoholism. You literally could have died from your diabetes from alcohol complications. It’s a very scary thing and very dangerous because it so easy to die from diabetes and alcoholism combined. It’s a really bad combination. I’m very proud of you taking the time to get help and set yourself back in the right direction in your life’s journey. Much love to you and your family and thanks again for sharing. You can really make a difference in this world because you are willing to share your story with others.👩🏻🦰👍🏻👍🏻🩵🩵🩵✌🏻🫶🏻
Yes so Proud !! Alot of people suffer from this! Your not alone.!!
Was sober for 7 years and can easily say they were the best years of my life. Took a relapse in 2021 and blew everything I had built up during sobriety (including $300k savings on cocaine, women and whisky. I'm 33 and am back living with my mother). Proud to say now that I'm 5 weeks sober! Stay strong Colin!!
❤
Take one day at a time and know many love you but most of all our creator
Keep going and going! Stay close to God and rest in Him. We are praying for you and rooting for you! You can do this because you can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens you
It's humbling to see where addiction can take us. I went from having my own apartment and a car to renting a room with no car, but to be honest I'm ok with it. I have more spiritually then I had prior to the relapse. I've gotten a lot back that doesn't necessarily have to do with materials.
stick with it! you can do this.
You’re an inspiration my brother. Thanks for sharing your story. Takes a lot of humility. So so proud of you. God is good.
So happy to see you posted here Omar! I'm sure this means tons from a real friend! God bless you and your fam!
Much love brother 🖤
@@theparanormalfiles hi kurt say hello to courtney for me
@@theparanormalfiles I have to say it’s mixed emotions it hurts me to hear that you’ve been struggling with that I know I’ve struggled with drug addiction in the past and now being close to 15 years sober it was the best decision I ever made and I’m so glad you were able to find God in the process that’s so beautiful he definitely delivered you himself! I wish you all the best in your journey through sobriety one thing that I picked up on you being over the years is determined and very intelligent So I know you can get through it and healthy productive ways and you’ve got such an amazing support system you’re so lucky not everybody gets that! And remember we love you so much if you ever need time to take away from filming to look after yourself please do that it’s more important to ask but you’re happy and healthy than to have an episode every week(even though I’m excited wake up in the morning and have my weekly episode I’d be more happy to know you’re healthy and happy) sending lots of love from Canada,BC
Hi Colin I’m allso Collin from Liverpool in the uk
Colin wood you please relay the information you may have regarding them poor children that was murderd on the bridge please pass it on to the police mate
Paranormal paramo, nightmare investigated this case ask Josh and Sean about this they will have evin moor information for you
Thank God you are alive and well. There is no shame in admitting your addiction. Many people don't understand how addictive alcohol really is.
My husband was a recovering binge drinker when we were together. Alcohol literally killed him....he died in 2019 and his death was inevitable due to his inability to go to the depth of his trauma and work through it. The very last day I saw him in person was the day I spoke at his incarceration hearing for many felonies he committed while drunk....none of which he remembered and none of which he would admit to. He was convicted again AFTER having previously exponged all of his felonies in 2011. He would drink and end up on the streets within a weeks time, and he ended up dying from alcohol toxicity.
Alcohol is a drug and our society doesn't want to see it that way.
I am so glad you got clean, your life is gonna change in the best most amazing ways, that you don't even see yet.
God bless you Collin, and your wife and whole family. We all love you and I will say I support you 100% for this and if you have to take breaks from posting.....take them. We will be here when you get back.
We all love you! One single day at a time!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Amen!!!
And I second that!
My bother died of alcohol too. When he was not drinking, he was the SWEETEST, most gentle person in the world. When he drank, he drank to excess and I didn’t even recognize him. It’s a long story, but he was found dead in the desert (we lived in the desert) with his car about a half a mile away. The “guess” is that he wandered from his car and he was so drunk he couldn’t find his way back. There was a big bottle of liquor in his car that was almost gone. I live my life wondering what happened, and what his last moments were like and it SUCKS. He was only 26 years old. He left behind a 4 year old daughter. I miss him every day.
Thank God You got help - Drugs and Alcohol Addiction affects more than the one overindulging - The Family group as a whole is injured by these actions - Sometimes permanently - Take Care -
You Are Loved for exactly who You Are -
@@BrendaDawson56 Oh that is so sad 😢
Brooooo, I’m so Proud of You! God Bless Homie!
shouts out James!!
Love the encouragement, you don’t see it enough! 😊
You , James and Colin are absolutely amazing and I'm super proud of you both❤ Colin ....most of us have been there and alot of is will always struggle super hard to keep on keeping on.The war with substance abuse is real and its damned hard.You got this & are surrounded by Love & prayers...🙏🏼💓
Yes James,I went march,I smoke weed but that's it,but my life is better time help,didny know you drunk that much,will be easier with woman and family with you bro
So proud of you ❤❤❤
Colin, as someone who will be celebrating 28 years of sobriety at the end of this month I know exactly how you feel. Take it 1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute at a time if you have to. It will become much easier to deal with in time. Just remember that God will grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Take care of yourself.
I’m also a recovering Addict I’ve been clean for 6 years. And I give all the Glory to God cause while everyone turned there backs on me when I needed them the most, God was the only one that was there through it all. His LOVE IS PURE. God Bless You Brother 🫶🏼
This video just changed my life. The honesty, the sincerity in the eyes, the will you’ve now recognized to trust in, all of it, every minute here rn was my sign, you Colin, yeah dude you were my butterfly. Thank you. Damn no idea how badly I needed to hear so much of that. Thank you ❤
I'm 18 years clean and sober now. You absolutely got this brother.
Wow! Awesome achievement!!!
Very proud of you to share this with us. 10 years sober from meth. One day at a time. ❤❤❤❤
Yay, that's wonderful!!!!! 👍👍
Proud of you girl ❤
Congratulations, my friend! 11+yrs clean from meth, myself. Isn't life so beautiful on this side! I still pray for the addicts who suffer.🙏Take Care. 💙
Edit: Yes, one day at a time. I'd like to say for those just starting their sobriety, sometimes you need to just take it 1 hour at a time. I did. That's okay. It will get easier. May not seem like it. But it will. I promise. Hang in there.
I am literally just going through this myself....4 weeks clean now but I almost lost everything. Sending love and strength. We can do this!
Stay strong. Been free of the demons many years! You got this!❤
congratulations, you are doing great! It's no small feat to concur, one day at a time.
I have almost 2 years sober! It is a struggle sometimes but it is worth it! I love the life I have now and my kids are so happy to have their Mom back 💓
Hi Colin! First, thanks for sharing something so vulnerable and personal. I’m 41 years old, an addict, and have struggled with depression and anxiety majority of my life. I’m so proud of you for seeking out help. I know that’s a hard choice to make but when you accept the help, it shows just how strong you are. It’s easy to give in to addiction but takes a warrior to fight it. You’ve got this, friend!
Man I'm in same town and that don't help even though don't want drugs or whateva,it's hard knowing it's round corner if want but what it take us to, respect colin
Collin, I’m 5 years sober from heroin and pills. I didn’t realize I was an addict till the age of 17, was already smoking and drinking at 12, I promise you it just gets better, you’re going to be able to buy that house and be happy about it, you’re gonna KEEP those memories. You’re going to continue to feel great, even better than you are now. Just keep going, keep working the steps. You will no longer live with patches of your life missing. When I got sober, every good thing I wish I had, started a happening. 💕
I’m one of your older viewers, 52 years old. It gives me joy to see that you have decided to live sober and give your life to God especially with the work yall do. I drank hard after my divorce for many years and it’s taken a toll on my health so you’ve made a wise choice. God bless you and Courtney on your future endeavors and congratulations!! 🙏
I’m an older viewer as well 52 I’m so proud of you and will continue to pray for you and your family. Love you and wish nothing but the best for you and your family❤️❤️❤️
Me 3 I am 49 and I used booze to have a good time to much , some of the times I did some dumb things , I haven't been drunk in 10 years my liver thanks me for sure❤
I am 58, proud of you Colin, we all stand with you mate.@@angieturner5715
Damn dude, I'm in recovery as well with almost 4 years. This takes so much courage to come out with this and try to spread this message. Much respect and love. I'm still struggling with trying to make things better and I can't even believe how much better life is without all of that poison.
14 years in. Keep strong!
Im a mother of an recovered alcoholic son. I know the darkness it can take you through. I hope you are drawing closer to God and his son our Lord Jesus. He will keep you free and in the light. I will be praying for you because I know how strong prayers are. Shabbat my friend and keep strong.. 🙏❤️
My husband just celebrated 36 years sober! Glad to hear that you have cleaned up your life. You will have days of feeling down but remember you are loved by our Creator most of all and all of us!!!
I am so proud of you Colin! You can do this! If you’re ever feeling down, come back and read these comments. We’re all rooting for you 🖤
First of all I want to say I’m so proud of you! I’ve been clean for 14 years now. I’m thankful and grateful every single day for my sobriety. I’ve overdosed twice and I’m still here. You are stronger than your addiction! I know the place you were at that finally made you get help and it’s the worst feeling in the world. With God all things are possible! #WeDoRecover 💜💜💜
Me too! Good for you! ❤
February will make 5 years of me being sober from opiates, meth, and literally anything I could get my hands on!! You'll have tough days, but that's normal. People who have never struggled with addiction still have bad days too. It's okay to not be okay sometimes. I'm sooo proud of you for working on yourself! Love you, bud.
Yep
Im halfway through the video and bawling. I wanna reach out and explain exactly why but i understand if you cant get back to me. I just wanted you to know this vulnerability you are showing in sharing yourself and your story is so much more powerful than you know. Thank you ❤
Love you ❤
I checked myself into rehab 15 years ago due to addiction to opiates. I am still clean and sober 15 years later. Addictions cause all kinds of drama and crazy situations. I'm glad you realized what was going on and made changes. This is a new beginning for you, we are all proud of you. Keep working hard and you will find success in life, that you'd never have if still drinking.
I am a opioid addict. I am recovering via a group called Bicycle Health. I'm currently on meds to dry my body out of the toxic poisons I had taken. I am also a drummer of 47 years, 53 years old. I support you my friend. Music had kept me going for a time, but I started into kidney failure and almost died. That's what it took for me to finally get clean.
I got your 6 brother. ❤
Colin, I am so incredibly proud of you!! My brother hasn't had a drink in 8 years. I tell him all the time I'm proud of him. It takes a lot and a wake-up call to realize things need to change. Keep up the good work and we are all here for you and very proud of you.
You coming to terms with your addiction at such a young age is kind of a miracle! Keep it up Colin!🙂 You are loved❤
Just fall into the grace that the Grand Universe has for you. Kudos on the spiritual work.
No , you're not just a drunk ! You are a blessing to others watching this , people who needed to see and hear this !!!! You have no idea how many people you've probably just helped !!!! God bless you !!!!!❤
Amen to that!! I didn't even know! I've enjoyed for so long. God Bless You Colin!
How so beautifully true ,God Bless all.
Colin, i am so very proud of you for recognizing that you needed help and actually getting yourself checked into rehab and completed your program. I am very familiar with addiction, myself and another family member have had issues with it. I was well on my way to becoming an alcoholic until i decided that getting blackout drunk needed to stop. So so proud of you and yes it does sneak up on you!!!
Colin, butterflies symbolize new beginnings! What a cool sign for you to receive! I wish you all the best on your sobriety journey.
I can’t imagine how tough it was to make this video. Your journey doesn’t end here, you have so much ahead of you. Keep your head up! Sending all the good vibes
As a fellow addict- I want to congratulate you for conquering your demons, and to offer my shoulder for support of you ever feel you’re going to struggle. It’s amazing to see you look so healthy- and it only gets better from here!
You’ve got this- and you have not only your family, but a whole RUclips community surrounding you and celebrating your wins!!!
Sobriety looks good on you my friend
Hecate is with me too. She helped me bring my animals home when they got out. She is a beautiful goddess. You are so blessed Colin. I'm so excited for your journey! Watching this video brought back a lot for me when I went through what your going through. Stay strong. ❤👻
My husband after drinking since he was 13 finally at 40 decided to go to rehab for his alcoholism it saved his life . Thank you for so vulnerable so that others know it’s ok to need help ❤
So freaking proud of you Colin!!!!! I’ve been sober going on 9 years. I realized once I quit drinking I lost so many friends!!!! But hey they was never really my “friends”.
Yup me too, friends who call you names cause you won't take another shot, who needs them, well it was sad for just a tiny while 😢😮
I've lost a lot of friends too with being sober. Doesn't matter now. My health was massively more important!!
2 years sober from H and fent, and I now have a beautiful son that helps keep me motivated everyday to be the best I can for him. It's a battle everyday, but life is so much better sober. Congratulations on getting sober, I am so incredibly proud of you! It's not easy to admit you're addicted and that you need help, especially not publicly like this. You can do this.
Edit: I am Wiccan, and Hecate has come up in my daily life when I've asked my spirit guide for guidance a few times and during meditation as well. I've always wondered if it was actually Hecate or just how my spirit guide has decided to show themselves. But being Wiccan, practicing witchcraft, into ghost hunting, and always feeling a connection to things of that nature it would make sence for Hecate to be a spirit guide for people into those things. I've never heard of someone else seeing Hecate so I always just assumed it was how my guide presented themselves.
You didn’t find god, you found yourself. I’m glad you were able to get the help you needed, your family seem to be a very supportive family keep this battle going every day you are slaying it. Be proud of yourself for realizing you had a problem. ❤
As someone who is also struggling with mental health and addiction, I am so proud of you! I’ve had a long stretches of not craving any alcohol or just not getting drunk, then a few days would go by and things would happen and I’d be right back to it. But everyday gets a little bit easier. I am so proud of you for taking the steps you needed, seeking the help and committing to it! You’re an inspiration Colin. Keep on the path and keep strong. You’ve got a very strong family unit and some incredible friends to help you along the way! Anyone that says “screw you you’re just a drunk,” should be ignored! Be proud of yourself, and be kind to yourself!
just passed 2 years of sobriety in october, you are not alone in this journey!! we love you and always have your back!
I love you Colin. Thank you for sharing your story. You are only human, I’m glad you’re in a better place now. We are all here for you!
love you Lori
15 years sober, I'm an opiate addict. Stay strong and always know there is a way!
Colin you are human! ❤ one day at a time but addiction can be cured you are not alone!! My partner is 4 years sober, living a happy, healthy life now! You got this ♥️♥️♥️ never give up!
Hi Winter 🥰
So proud of you Colin! 10+ years clean and sober here. I understand. The demons of addiction make the paranormal world look like a picnic! Keep fighting. Love ya! ❤🙏
Good on you hun, keep up the good, clean life xxx
@@ialicat9074Thank you so much! ❤
I appreciate you being so honest! I have been sober since 2021. It was the hardest thing I had to pull through. I am now going for gastric bypass to help me with my obsession with food! Slaying those demons.❤ I’m really rooting for you, brother! My prayers and hugs go to you! Each day is a victory🎉
Good luck with your surgery and recovery. People do care and I can relate. Sobriety is difficult but worth it. ❤
I am so very proud of you! One for seeing you had a problem and then doing something about it. My daughter struggles with addiction and mental health issues. I've been in a bad place before also. But for you to have the courage to come forward and tell all of us about this. Keep moving forward! You got this! Much Love!!!
12 yrs sober, only by the grace of God, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. So proud of you Colin! ♥️

@@angelakitto4788 thank you ❣️
Colin, you have probably helped so many people telling your story. You are so brave. I love being apart of the spooky fam. Such a great community. ❤ 👻
Katie ❤
I agree ❤
I lost my husband to addiction. He was 38. You have a beautiful future ahead of you. You are on the right road. Prayers, thoughts and love ❤️
So sorry. It's an epidemic here in Canada Fentanyl is killing thousands here a year. Alcohol doesn't get the attention it deserves but can be just as damaging, but we need to fight this head on. Good luck and take care.
Colin, it takes courage to look at ourselves and admit our shortcomings. I'm so very proud of you for putting yourself through treatment. I did too,about two lifetimes ago. Been sober since. And ya know what I found out Colin? God is super cool. I can hold my head up every day I'm sober. I like myself so much better. And so will you! Seems like you've got some friends over there in twin paranormal too! Keep going. You and your life is worth it.
So proud of you buddy ❤
love you so much dawg
❤❤❤
We love you both Colin and Connor
I’m so proud of you babe🥹 through sickness and in health ♥️
You stand by your man ❤
God bless you both always ❤ You are a beautiful couple ❤❤ Colin just had a beautiful spiritual connection. May you both always be blessed 🙏🏻
Sending love❤...it takes a lot of strength keeping up support. So Happy to hear you will be back in videos.
Amazing couple here ❤
What's up Courtney!
Stay the strong, loving, positive n
beautiful woman
you are.
God Bless.
Sending Love, Light, n Healing
I am so proud of you. I have watched you for years, and this is a beautiful thing. I too am in recovery and have had many "spiritual" incidences my whole life, so I understand. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. You are helping a lot of people with your testimony.
So very proud of you for talking about this. I live with the addiction disease. I have been sober for 7 years but when you finally gain a relationship with your higher power the coincidences that happen in that first two or three months are mind-blowing. I call it coincidences but nothing is coincidence. It's like a fog is lifted off of you and you can see what is really happening in your universe. Very proud of you and hope you continue your road to sobriety
I'm proud of you, I currently live in a sober house myself. I almost died from heroin in Deering oaks Park in Portland Maine in 2016. I lost my job over it because I couldn't stop thinking about how close I became another number. I have been clean for 6 months this time from meth. I'm one of the lucky ones to not be drug dumb. It's hard everyday. I also suffer from severe depression. Keep up the good work, you'll make it man our road is not an easy one. People of all sorts of backgrounds suffer from addiction. Keep your head up and resist the temptation to use.
After DECADES of being in the darkness, I've found my way back to God recently. It's like going home. ❤
Thank you for sharing this Colin. This brought me to tears multiple times. So proud of the journey you chose to enhance your life and truly LIVE! It’s honestly beautiful. You have such a huge support system beside you, which is amazing! Sending you lots of love and peaceful, healing energy.
It took me 22 weeks to get sober and change my life in such a way that I can stay sober. I'm proud of you! Please take God with you out of rehab! He's a great friend!
So proud of you Colin for taking charge of your life!❤ I've had the struggle of managing depression for over 20 years and get it about "looking normal" to the outside world while you're hurting inside. Continue the work towards healing. Only when you're ready it would be great to be real and share your story....you never know who's life you could save giving them hope. Take time you need to heal...we will be here.❤❤
Colin I am very proud of yourself did it cuz your person is strong n willing to stop drinking. Just remember you have a beautiful wife n great parents who will stand by you so you can stand tall n say "yes I can do this n yes I stop drinking" Colin thanks to God that you found that light to the right path cuz God is right there guiding you all the way. Colin my God bless you n your family n keep your head way high n keep moving forward to recovering. Once again I am very proud of you ❤❤
Amen. Depression is horrible. Unfortunately, I know...
Im so proud of you!!! This is amazing! Ive been in recovery for 7 years and deciding to live is the best decision ive ever made. I will say a prayer for you.
Colin hi ....I'm a long time viewer of your videos and I am 62 . I just wanted to say on how proud I am of you. We never met but I have to tell you that I picked up on your struggles a long time ago...to which really started to make it very hard to watch as time moved on...now to say how proud I am is so easy... you've got this with God's help he'll keep you on the path you need to be on. Keep the faith and he will never leave you. Just remember we all have our cross to bare and some times things can be very hard and you'll think you won't make it and you'll think God has left ....he hasn't....he will pull you through. Remember he lives in your heart and fills your soul. God loves you and so do we. Stay strong! My friend, you got this!
10 years sobriety here!🎉 You're never alone and I'm so proud of you and your new sober journey! ❤ K.I.S.S KEEP IT SIMPLE SILLY ❤
You haven't ever heard from me, but I was diagnosed as a bi polar at the age of 8. I still struggle with depression every day. I just have to tell you that I truly understand, and I am so very proud of you and the effort that it takes every day to do what you are doing. I love you. Please remember that you are not alone.
You are a ROCK STAR, Colin ! Addressing your issues and publicly discussing your mental health is SO BRAVE !! Pat yourself on the back and BE PROUD - all of us are proud of you for starting a new, healthier life ! 🥰
This is so awesome to hear! I myself have battled with addiction so it's very heart warming to see someone else find the light to make life better!
I am so freaking proud of you! It takes a lot to make this kind of video. You will help someone by being brave enough to speak out about this. Again, SO PROUD!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My first real attempt began at residential treatment in 2020. I had two years clean, and slipped with the weed last year and I'm still struggling to extract that from my life once and for all. However this path is about progress not perfection - if you frequent the rooms, no matter what happens just keep coming back. Thanks for sharing.
As a nurse I see so many people struggling with addiction, mental health . What u have done with this video will help others you are a strong young man x
It really does keep getting better. I went into recovery an agnostic and came out knowing God. I never really wanted to quit drinking, but now I hold my freedom from alcoholism higher than anything in my life. Without it I would lose everything else brother. Congratulations and embrace getting to know yourself and healing man! I can relate to everything you said in this video. You aren't alone. ❤
Colin so proud of you and what you've achieved this far especially getting over the struggles of alcohol addiction. I know this will be a learning experience and something to take on board.
Happy for you brother! Going on 5 years sober myself and it is hard at first but so worth it. The hardest steps are the first ones we take but in time you will be running strong.
I’m proud of you Colin. You did the best thing for your life and health. You are loved by so many.
So proud of you, Colin! Your story is very inspiring and needs to be told, heard and shared. Praying for your success, peace and happiness. Shout out to Courtney and your friends and family that are supporting your journey. Love you and always loved your content. Keep it up! You got this!
You're amazing. Thank you for sharing the hard parts of your life. Know you have a ton of support behind you.
Colin I am very proud of you I sm 62 years ild I've been sober for 12 years.I know it was a hard decision to make but Colin I still sometimes i do one second at a time. You are a very wonderful man I'm very proud of you. Much love from Sandra from Tennessee ♥️
I'm proud of you man, I faught a almost 20 year opiate addiction due to curiosity and trying to escape past trauma and pain that I've endured over the passed almost 36 years and on may 10 I will have 5 years sober!!! It gets easier as time goes on just know your not alone and we're proud of you! Keep going man you got this!
Happy for you and sending love. Too many young men don't seek help and that's the strongest (and scariest) thing you can do. Congrats! XO
PLEASE continue uploading videos about your journey! Listening to you has inspired me! Thank you again Colin! ❤
Sending Love and ongoing Strength to stay on the path of sobriety.
I am 4 days away from 7 years of sobriety. It's easily the best thing I have ever done, and I am SO proud of you, Colin❤ It's not always going to be easy, but it's damn sure worth it, and WE are worth it too!! Odaat, my dude. Thanks for keeping it real for us ❤❤
Happy 7 years lady. I'm proud of you for putting in the work and surrendering to the beautiful power within. If all go's well and i keep working the program i will be 7 years sober next August 1st. If i stay connected to God and to the program and if i dont get complacent, i have a good chance of reaching that goal. God bless your evening and God bless you and your family. Hugs from Ireland ❤
Colin! I’m so happy for you! Your growth since I started watching you in 2019 is incredible to witness! The best is yet to come for you, my friend!
Super excited for Courtney to make her comeback too!❤️
So proud of you and your strength and vulnerability. You’re definitely a great role model to those needing help like this. Thank you for the tough and honest words. 🥰🤗
I've never met you a day in my life, but I AM SO PROUD OF YOU
As someone who has gone through the EXACT same thing, get ready for a wonderful life! ❤ Much love to you. 1,595 days sober. I am soooo freaking happy for you!
I'm an addiction/psych nurse in Colorado,and i am very proud of you and your courage! You have a great support system here. Thank you for sharing.

Thank You So Much for sharing this Colin.. I'm 8yrs Sober now ...After a Roller Coaster of a Past .❤

I am so very proud of you. It takes a strong person to admit to an addiction and a stronger person yet to do something about it! Way to go hun. May the God's watch over you and keep you on your path. ❤
hi Colin! This is fantastic news. Very proud of you! Knowing you have diabetes, this change of mind for sure saved your life. You are still so young with a whole life ahead of you. Proud of your obviously very strong wife too ! because it can't have been easy on her. Wish you both the best and lots of happiness for the future!❤👍🏻 Great job!
Colin I am so proud of you!!!! I did the same thing 19 years ago and admitted myself for substance abuse…best thing I’ve ever done!! My reasoning was because I wanted to have a baby, but it was so much more than that. It changed my life in such an amazing way!! I also used substances to feel “normal.” It’s amazing that you have taken that control of your life back. Keep up the good work!! Much love to you and your amazing family!!!

Hell yeah Colin! Thank you for being vulnerable with all of your followers. I have 156 days clean from opiates did 90 days in treatment and once I got my phone back in there your videos were something I binge watched! Proud of you! We do recover.
Colin man I've watched u grow up here on U T, gotta say this video hit thee hardest. Yes I never thought u would talk about higher power, I'm so pleased for all this info that's a Christmas 🎄 present in it's self.! Massive hugs to u , Courtney and yr family.
Happy New Year Man 🎊🤍🎊
I wish I could tell you in person how much this video means. It touched me to the core for so many reasons ❤
I lost my big brother to an overdose last year and it has left a hole in my mom's and my life that just grows bigger with every passing year. Please never put Courtney or your folks through that Colin.
Im so proud of you for not only taking that step to get help, but also being vulnerable to attempt to help others too. If this video just helped 1 person, it was so worth it and hopefully plant a seed of change in those who are/like being shits. Im so glad you became more aware and have not devalued your spiritual experiences. It truly is so hard to explain to those who arent spiritually aware. Ive had many experiences with God and guides throughout my life, but the most awesome experiences with God were when i was around 4 years old and when i accidentally meditated for hours attempting to fall asleep when I was a high schooler. Epic mind blowing experiences that people seriously think im crazy when I talk to people about it. Anyway, im super happy for your own experiences and it only gets better if your in the right mindset. You are truly changing not only yourself for the better, but others too. Most importantly God sees it and your true heart and thats all that matters.
Have mercy, Lord... I know how he feels about the feeling of resentment... and You know why, Lord. Thank you for Colin and his willingness to share his testimony.
