    Mark I don’t know where I would be if I’ve never seen your videos. I’ve had a pretty rough up bringing. I’ve been watching you videos for 3 years. In that time I was able to put down the drugs, work full time, and even help my family and I buy our own homes after never owning a home my whole childhood. I realized I have more power than I realize. I starting watching you videos when I was 17 and I’m 20 now. I feel like if I’ve never seen your videos I could’ve taken a different path. So thank you, please don’t ever stop making these videos.

    my grandmother used to say, show me your company and ill show you the man, people don't realise the damage alcohol and drugs do, its a slow death, i drank 16 pints a day after work, i caught pneumonia and ended up on life support, i think god gave me another chance, i came out of hospital and have never touched another drop 5 years clean , that's after drinking for 18 years and never missed a day. its so good to be clean and view the world with different eyes.

    As a recovering alchoholic when she talked about getting into a pattern and it quickly becoming a routine that really hit home for me. Two beers everyday after work to "reward yourself" for a "hard days work" quickly turned into 3... then 4... until the beer didn't cut it for me anymore and I was eventually drinking a a fifth of whiskey every night.

    Dear, Sasha! For some reason as soon as I saw the thumbnail from this video I instantly knew you are either Ukrainian or Russian. My heart hurts for you. I’m also from Ukraine, moved here 6 years ago. Trying to survive here is so difficult for us that just want a shot at better life. My love, you can get out of this hole. Your English is prefect, you seem so kind and beautiful both inside and outside. Very smart. If you’re ever in FLorida, I’d be more than happy to help you as much as I can. Alcohol can be so tricky. My father was an alcoholic and died of liver cirocis. It is so common in Eastern Europe, it’s very sad. You’re so strong. You can conquer the mountains. I believe in you!

    She needs some serious counseling and therapy. The recurring thread I see with alcoholics, drug addicts, and other substance abusers is they all share a pattern of trying to suppress TERRIBLE levels of pain and trauma from various points in their life. They abuse the substances to suppress that pain. I have a feeling that if they could do something to address the pain, they would stop using. And that’s the kicker. I think it’s easier to keep using than to face and resolve that pain. The pain is just that terrible. It takes a lot of courage and resolve to face your own pain and face yourself. Many people don’t have that type of strength, unfortunately.

    And although I guess that’s technically true the truth is the trauma made us a very hurt version of who we would have been.
    I’ve had so much trauma in my life for the most of my life. I used to say the same thing when I was younger… then I grew up more and realized ‘NO F*CK THAT IM NOT GRATEFUL FOR THE WAY THINGS HAPPENED THOSE PEOPLE STOLE FROM MY SOUL AND BROKE ME…’

Tried many many many times to stay stopped from drinking again. My best thinking got me to where I ended up is what I was told by a person who was Sober. Complex yes but the answer is to stay stopped for 1 day and seek Sobriety as hard as I searched for my next drink & substance. Choose wisely the people around you and the people who truly care about you will models for your future. I should be dead. The gift of Sobriety is nothing to take for granted. Addiction has no boundaries to who it will take down a spiral of destruction and death.
