I never thought you would become such an inspiration to me. I remember seeing you on viva la bam. Back then I was still pretty young and never tried anything and never thought in a million years I would ever even try a drug in my lifetime. Unfortunately, I was so wrong. Now at almost 32 yrs old I am lost and wondering what happened to the past 10 years of my life. At one time I had everything, and it feels like all I did was blink one time, and now everything has changed, and I've lost so much including myself. It's hard but I am fighting and hoping to have a chance at a normal life again somehow, someday. You have been a huge inspiration to me though. I'm so happy for you and your sobriety. Your story is insane but what you have been able to get through and the things you now do to help others, is so amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story with everyone. I could never get sick of hearing it. I need to get your 2nd book! I read the first one but have a feeling the second one is better. Keep up doing what you're doing and staying strong.
I wish it was easier to get ahold of novak... I need help I need a 30 day inpatient rehab and my medicaid in las vegas only covers one week... ONE WEEK... then I guess I'm cured after 7 days huh? Anyway please help me reach out even if I have to fly to baltimore
@@andrewmichaels6298how are you? It’s hard to communicate off line but I can help you get in somewhere… and Medicaid in Ohio will pay at least 90 days and then over a year at sober living/recovery centers
Your video "Tomorrow is going to be better" helped me through a lot of tough nights when I got home from detox. I wanted to give up so badly, but your story gave me the hope I needed to push though. 5 years later and I'm still clean, and enjoying another one of your inspiring videos. Thanx Brandon
I think what you are doing and providing is beyond wonderful. I wish my ex boyfriend could see this and get help. He is a wonderful man with a struggle.
We need more videos like this, where addicts who achieved sobriety tell their story because it offers encouragement for others struggling. The only thing you can find in this category anymore is just advertisements, reality tv shows and just general toxic negativity. You used to be able to find all sorts of videos like this, but not much anymore. Videos like this are real, and it can be that small spark that get someone to start fighting and trying.
Thank you so much for posting an update!! My all time favorite addiction video is Tommorow is Going to be Better that was posted on this channel 5 years ago. I can’t count the number of times Brandon’s words have saved me from a relapse. Thank you ❤️
I remember seeing Brandon in Media, PA at the probation office. Hes not lying about the scarves, dude was wearing a bunch of them like the white Prince. There were always stories about him at George W Hill Jail as well. So glad to see/hear him in this light, looking good amd speaking truth. Hes an inspiration cause this dude is the real deal I can confirm. God Bless you Novak!
I'm 25 and I have been drinking a 5th of vodka every day for 5 years, I'm glad to say for the first time in those 5 years I have not drank for 48 hours and I know it's not much but every day that goes by I feel healthier and prouder of myself
Thank you for sharing and breaking it down for us!!! My son is 22 and is in his first month of rehab for Fentanyl. I PRAY he gets it. We lost his step brother 4 years ago to Fentanyl. Congratulations and I know your mom and family are so proud and you should be as well!!!
Anyone who says recovery is great is just on a pink cloud. Recovery sucks, but addiction is worse. But the gratitude in your sobriety never ends. It's truly a day at a time.
This dude changed was f unbelievable he was a trash 🗑️ addict now he looks great and wise also helping others wow 😮 and he becomes this amazing dude that called himself alcoholic putting his ego aside and acknowledging his addiction even thooo he’s been sober for a whileeee he knows the struggle and that this is a real disease 🦠 but that people truly can get better ! Aplaudo todo eso ! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻✊🏻 respect ✊🏻
Wow great inspiration why in the world do I seem to think I'm not capable of sobriety I feel I'm worth it but capable so unsure of myself I'm tired of doubting myself it's a sucky feeling yes I deserve my life back and my family also deserves it too I'm so disgusted with not letting
I relate to it, every bit. But the part "it's just business"... it's become recovery slang that detracts from the previous part of the statement "it's not personal!" And I too am terrible at suicide. ❤️🔥 Thank You God 🙏
And then i see others have sobriety and its like I want that they did it so can i but then i let myself down again im tired of not getting this i want it more then anything
Dance with the devil you gonna get burned. You're lucky of that's all you get, if you come off the floor with your breath intact - consider that miracle and thank Christ however you understand Him. Find forgiveness. For yourself and those who committed unforgivable sins agains you.
Hate to tell you but unless the god of your understanding is the God and his only son Jesus Christ then you will continue to struggle with sobriety. You turn with all the effort, energy and love you've put into being an addict towards Jesus Christ and you will be saved from the darkness and you will be born again.

I don't want to throw any shade on him because I don't think he's said this exactly, but I do believe he frequented certain opiates, scarves are a good tie off to get your veins popping.

That’s so cool… not what he and we go thru, never doubted him… but ya cool to know that you seen him then….
Live forward, learn backwards. This hit me hard. As an alcoholic myself, this grief is real

Bro congratulations that's awesome. Alcohol withdrawal is no joke. I wish you the best and pray that you stay sober.

"My sobriety has a shelf life of 24 hours" That's real.
But your videos are my inspiration
Lived forward and learnt back woods I can honestly relate to that

Im fighting daily to stay sober , fighting demons constintly
I relate to it, every bit. But the part "it's just business"... it's become recovery slang that detracts from the previous part of the statement "it's not personal!"
And I too am terrible at suicide. ❤️🔥 Thank You God 🙏

Kitty Cat Appearance at 7:53

It's like slam poetry, he is really enjoyable to listen to. Not boring
❤🩵

Oops. I forgot to say my Mom died in 2019. 🍷
Did he used suboxone or methadone ?

All joking aside wtf you had 8 scarves for.
I don't want to throw any shade on him because I don't think he's said this exactly, but I do believe he frequented certain opiates, scarves are a good tie off to get your veins popping.
Tourniquet & keeping warm😊
good shit Novac! Very well articulated. Thanks
