From DRUG ADDICT to BILLIONAIRE - THIS IS HOW I DID IT
This is how I was able to recover from being a drug addict. I went from being a good kid, to using drugs everyday for almost 10 years and nearly losing my life.
The problem wasn't that I used drugs and the addictions I had... The problem I had was when my surroundings tried to get me at level 1 or level 2... And not 10X.
If you or someone you care about has an abbuse problem... Please watch this video.
Be Great, Nothing Else Pays
~ GC
The best advice I ever got was.... "If you quit getting high, and use just 20% of the energy you waste in the drug addiction, you will be successful. He was absolutely correct.
Regardless, everyone is medicated on something.
What work do you do now?
@@featwizzle5517 I own a commercial carpentry business.
@@sterlthepearl1000 True. I was anti drug as they come. I hurt my back and the "Good Dr" prescribed me "medicine". I was ignorant to the fact that it was monopolized herion.
I didnt even like the way it made me feel, and had issues falling asleep. Doc said no worries, your body will get use to it. Then gradually raised my dose. The dr nor the pharmacist warned me about the addiction, tolerance increase, mood swings nor the withdraw.
I didnt realize, or admit to myself, that I was a junkie, until I went on vacation 18 months later. I forgot my meds and had the worse week of my life.... Crazy withdrawal. I said to myself Id never touch them again. But as soon as I got home I ate a handful. From therr things just got far worse as my tolerance increased.
I was turned out by drug dealers/salesman in white coats, who we are conditioned to trust.
Fortunately, I got my girlfriend pregnant, and valued my sons wellbeing over my addiction. I made a promise to him 14years ago that I will keep to the end. He saved my life.
I have 3 boys now and they are my world, my purpose...... My Drug.

I wasn't financially free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start today regardless your age, invest and change your future like Cardone did! Investing in the financial markets is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring! I love this.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in.I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, i'm locked, loaded and ready to go
@@harleycartley3138 a very simple method to build wealth over time is being consistent and i can't stress this enough seek advice and guidance, not doing this in this market is like telling a med student to perform surgery without a licensed surgeon's assistance lol, personally i use James Fletcher Brennan, the best CFA i've worked with
@@ericwilde4583 That’s great , your investment advisor must be really good,I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financial stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
@Chris Anthony. James Fletcher Brennan, Look him up he's quite a popular CFA, he'd put you through the procedures of achieving your dream portfolio. Goodluck
@@ericwilde4583 looked him up on the internet and left him a message, thanks
I’m 24 I’m a alcoholic but I’m determined too change my life I came across a west Watson video and it really shifted my perspective
You can do it I was an alcoholic for 10 yrs and now I’ve been sober for 3 yrs and I feel better then I’ve ever felt before I trust in you!
Do not drink the first peg . That’s the rule of thumb to quit. You will thank me later .
Just the first peg . That’s all . God give you strength .
This video changed my life. I recognized myself so much in you it made me cry. Every time I want to use drugs since I watch it and it makes me cry and brings me back on the good path and gives me the energy and motivation to 10x instead. One day, I will meet and thank you by showing you this comment that I wrote at 19 years old. Thank you Grant
Same thing for me man, good luck in your journey, I hope you succeed in everything you work for..
That guy is humble and real. He doesn't exaggerate or make a show out of it like many other celebrities "hey look how tough I am I've been there done that blablabla''.
This story is incredible and gives me such perspective. I was also a drug addict and failed college, tried to un-live myself when I was 20 years old, and was a mess until about 22. Now I'm 25, I got my life together and I'm about to raise seed funding for my software company which we started last year. I've constantly thought "I am behind in life" and like I wasted a decade.
If Grant didn't get his life together until 25, and he got where he's at. That gives me the perspective that perhaps I'm not "behind in life". Perhaps I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and if Grant was able to change and grow so much so can I, and I've grown a lot already.
Sounds like you have mate! You can't beat someone who never quits!
As a young boy, I was known for my gentle heart and boundless optimism. I had dreams-big dreams-of becoming someone who would make a difference, someone who could uplift others. Life, it seemed, had so much to offer. But slowly, like quicksand pulling me under, drugs and alcohol began to erode my spirit. My dreams started to dissolve into a haze of substance abuse. My unborn child was lost, and the love of my life walked away, unable to bear the man I had become.
Everything seemed surreal, like a twisted version of what my life was supposed to be. People who once saw potential in me were now laughing at the wreckage I had become. The aspiration to be a software engineer, which once seemed like a lofty but attainable goal, now felt like a joke. I was drowning in a sea of shame and misery, and in that despair, I tried to end my life. Not just once, but twice.
That’s when life forced me into a corner. At 29, I was put into a rehab program for 30 days. I came out of that experience a changed man-sober and more committed than ever. That first year was all about rediscovering myself, focusing intensely on mental health, and personal growth. It was during this transformative phase that I met the woman who would become my wife, and we welcomed a beautiful son into our family.
At 30, reinvigorated and clear-eyed, I set my sights again on my long-lost dream of becoming a software engineer. Within just 8 months of relentless studying, I achieved what many thought impossible-I landed a job as a software engineer. By 31, I had a fulfilling job, a loving family, and a home of our own. Financially stable and mentally resilient, I achieved a complete turnaround in a remarkably short time.
Those years I thought were wasted? They’ve become my most invaluable lessons. The agony of almost losing myself has fueled an indomitable will to never return to that abyss. It’s a force that propels me every single day to seize the opportunities life offers, with both hands.
If you’re struggling, if you’re in that dark place and need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to DM me. Your life has so much untapped potential, and sometimes all it takes is one meaningful conversation to begin unlocking it. I don’t need anything in return. Let my story be your inspiration that no matter how far you’ve fallen, it’s never too late to rise.

Taking all of that destructive energy and converting it into constructive motivation was genius. He had the ability to identify a blessing in disguise and to utilize it to his greatest potential. I am 38 years old and aspire to transform my life in such a magnificent way. Thank you for being an example to all dreamers Grant.
He dived prepared himself for discipline what he did commitments to himself
Being sober is such an amazing feeling.
I’m 21 years old and when I was 19 I was where you were. Had to cut off all of my friends luckily I went cold Turkey without a rehab but focused on fitness. Rock bottom is the only way to go up
You got this bro
How did you make a new friend group? Going through the same thing right now, all my friends are drug addicts.
Completely accurate. I've spent some time away from GC's wisdom and motivation, and it shows. I used to struggle with alcoholism and addiction, and go to AA...what a horrible way to think, to live. I am meant for so, so much more, and so are YOU. Let's not succumb to the bullshit our society attempts to spoon-feed us; let's build each other up and onward towards all the beauty and abundance we were meant to have.
I'm from Italy and I'll tell you just one word .
Thank you ❤️
I went through all this on my father's side and I am happy that after dozens of years he is out of this shit
That's a very inspirational speech, Grant. I love you man. Thanks for sharing 🙏
So far, Cardone's speech has been the most slapper soul speech I ever heard. Taking my "habits", "ruins" and thinkingness and turning them into action in my plan to succeed. If I had the time to get myself fuck up by drinking a lot. I will multiply every bottle by 10 actions and results. There is no way I cannot reach the billionaire spot. Thank you Mr Cardone.
Sent your video to my drug addicted 25 year old son. He gets high 24x7 every day 365 days a year. I’ve cut him out of my life and it’s killing me watching him kill himself. Hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life watching my son from afar slowly killing himself.
❤️ Lets pray for him
Hope he gets that GC moment soon in his life, I cant imagine what you are going through. I have a 2 year old son and I cant even imagine him getting a scratch :(
Grant is very inspirational and has helped me find what I want to do in life. Thank you Grant!
Always love to listen to Grant's story about growing up...and how he made it. Thanks
One of the few authentic Grant videos. Great story man - you’re a warrior
See Grant, out of all the things you say to inspire people. This resonates with me. I was that guy, too. And now im that 10X millionaire. LFG!
Grant is a gem! 💎 The world needs him for sure.
4 minutes in and it’s like he’s reading my mail.. I’ve listened to lots and lots of his sales videos and somehow never knew we had such a similar story. I’ve got nothing but respect for you Grant! Thank you for sharing your story. You’ve been an encouragement and an example of what is possible!
Don’t let him get u this way
I liked the video without even watching it, just by the title I already realized that if someone can do it, I can do it too! Thanks Grants, You Make Changes!
Uncle G dropping some real bombs here. Don't waste time, be hungry and don't be shy to say what you want to be.
CONGRATS UNCLE G 💯🎉👊🏿1❌0👊🏻🎉
Grant bro,I’ve never experienced a successful person like yourself relating the horrible experiences you went through to get where you are today with such emotions!
It’s very powerful and moving😢
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
Amen Grant, this video really hit deep. I will 10x MY GOALS! and be one of the greatest.
Thanks for sharing this uncle G!
Wow Grant that was awesome! Thankyou for sharing , 10x is my new motto, I have always been an entrepreneur, selling garden vegetables to the neighborhood pulling my wagon door to door as a kid, had several sales jobs, always have been a beekeeper 50 to 100 hives,selling honey, bees, queens on a small scale...now I am buying out the retiring commercial beekeeper with potential to exceed 1000 beehives...its not real estate, I believe the principles are the same! Thankyou !
Best motivational video I’ve seen on youtube and trust me I’ve seen a lot! Especially if you’re prone to impulsive behaviours like (drinking or using) this can literally set you up for elevation
I just came out from jail and i can relate to this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 . You are a role model !
Amazing story😮
The thing is every story is unique and different. Once you change your mindset things start working out🥺
Wow thanks a lot for your sharing experience in life Grant. I would to become the same business man, husband, father and friend you are. I have a lot of respect for you . God bless you uncle G 🙏
Guy gives me the punisher vibes, and thats a positive thing, we as men need to break first to build ourself larger and greater.
5 months clean from Fentanyl!!! Currently my business is making me about 3-5k per week, but I'm just getting started. I've lost so much time...but I'm hungry for everything they said I'd never have.
Inspiring
Best advice ever!! You are the man Grant.
Chase the high from achievement, addiction is good when it’s natural and producing positive outcomes.
I really love your life story. Stay strong❤
I love that story. I read it years ago in Grant’s book, Be Obsessed Or Be Average.
Grant gets a lot of criticism for his sales tactics but his story is remarkable.
Thank you Grant! For sharing and teaching us about real life!
Lots of great points in here. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your story. I definitely can relate to some of this but I’m still sick of where to start and finish. I start something and don’t finish it because something always happens to bring me down. I have to break this. My whole family counts on me.
Hi Sab. Can u start wit smaller goals? Then finish the small tasks to rebuild your confidence. Break down your goals into small tasks you can handle. Then it is simply do, or do not. u got this fam. ty
Wow, amazing transformation
Thank you for posting this Grant
This man’s books changed my life when I was 25.
Absolutely amazing story, message, and lesson! You are outrageously generous and helpful! Nail hit directly on the head! Love you, man!
I was thinking about drinking today after being sober for 9 months and came across this video. Thank you Grant. I didn't drink today
Damn Grant that had really hit me. Keep on grinding and don't lose focus boys!
Damm Grant that was deep bro.. Thank you
Congrats on all your success and Grant where can I get a copy of your 10X book?
Sometimes it takes getting away from EVERYONE be alone to realize that you want to change your life more than you thought.
Thats exactly what I do in my recovery and i agree can you do a video on how to deal with the haters who are not genuinely happy for you thanks grant respect brother.
Thank you for sharing this. 🙌
I need your help Grant. I can't stop using drugs !!! You inspire me so much!
Amazing stuff Grant. Thanks for sharing.
People think this is about money. It is actually about having an abundance mindset which affects every area in your life in a positive manner. Money is just a byproduct of this abundance mindset.
Counselors were wrong. You had a behavior problem. You’re not a drug addict, Grant. You’re the one man who would kick the ball out of the park regardless of circumstances. I’m so proud of you, you have no idea. And if you didn’t help anyone else, you have helped me and now it’s my turn.
Man that was amazing! Thanks!
Grant Cardone you are always so motivational and have a great story! Thank you brother
You make hyper-focusing a good thing!!!!
uncle G 10x rule changed my life.thank you
this video was a tear jerker... i've been strugglin with addictions for years i managed to cut out most of them succesfully for over 14years already but i stil have one remaining and i need to find a way to get rid of that as well..
Yo Luke. the same way u got rid of the others bro. Decide, then One step and one day at a time. Good luck. ty
No matter what bro keep trying to quit try to stay busy bro stay strong bro
An inspiring life story. Worthy of being told in a book.
Thank you so much for this amazing and wonderful video!
Amen! God bless you!!!🤠
100% I’ll see you at the top
I relate to this more than you know, hope to be as inspiring as this man. Thank you Grant.
I look forward to meeting you in the future Grant - thank you for sharing your story
You’re a fantastic inspiration GC. Much respect! ⚡️
My thoughts exactly
Iam an engineer just completed but I am suffering from hell lot of pain in the spine due to intense weight lifting , it's almost a year now I have been recovering my friend's are working iam just sitting in home can't even work in home due to pain , i feel sad but still I got faith in God ,iam pretty sure I will be great one day and help the one's who are suffering like me ,hope god will help us all.
I am gratefull for this post and all you do thank you for the inspiration or I would say a kick in the ass
Thank you for this video Grant Cardone it hit a different way we go through a lot as humans it take a person alot to change but once it happen god blesses you
This was brilliantly put together. I've been following your videos for over a year now and with professional help, I'm making progress with my investments decisions.
You Have Come A Long Way Grant
God Bless You.
I’m fighting to stay sober it’s hard
God guided you and so you became successful...
That's a intense story, whoa.
Much love Grant
Glad to hear this part of your story. I think people see where you are now and just assume it’s always been that way. Honesty will ALWAYS earn you respect even when it hurts. I have a similar story and I just started turning my life around really and all I can say is thank you for being so forth coming , it gives not only me hope for the future but also hope for those people that are still in that situation. I had to fall down 100 times before I finally learned hey this isn’t the way I wanna live my life and when you know there’s a healthier , happy life on the other side of whatever situation you might be in it really keeps you motivated to keep on doing what’s right and putting in the work.
I feel I have a duty to "recover out loud". I want to give people hope that if this guy, who was homeless and relapsed over 20 times, can get clean AND start a business where he's making 3-5k in his pocket every week...well dammit if he can do it, so can I. Stay strong and make meetings!
@@AMateofAndrews hey I saw your comment and I saw you have 5 months clean from the same thing that messed my life up so bad. Which is awesome man, people don’t realize how addictive that shit is, literally worse then herion. I only have about 2 1/2 months personally which before this I would get maybe a couple weeks here and there but I really do believe that addictive mindset can be extremely helpful if you make it out of the unhealthy addictions and channel that addictive mindset into healthy addictions which is what I’m working on now but it is a process and I have those days still where it’s on my mind but I just let it pass. But keep up that progress not just for you but everyone else out there in our situation buddy
WOW VERY INTERESTING STORY!! PRAY YOU REACH ALL YOUR GOALS! AND I'LL TAKE THAT million when you reach that point lol!
You can see it in guys eyes how’s glossy they are. He’s telling the truth. Love you grant
Great stuff. ..
I'm sorry to hear that man
IM SO PUMPED!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHH!!!!!
35 AND LIVING WITH MOMMY BUT I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR YEARS I'LL BECUME RICH AF!!!!!!!!
Thank you sir for your career in 10x 💯
Amazing video and story!
Thank u for doing this. I was thinking this just the other day. It's not that people have problems...it's that there not going for it. It's almost like we get brainwashed...unknowingly to act a certain way and as a result there of, we don't even fathom true ideas ...true to us .....like the 10x aspect....because we are unknowingly living in this prison or dome that society has placed on for us. It's almost as if that moment that happened to you ..freed you to think freely and figure out the solution... outside of the box... completely unique to you Mr. Cardone, and from then on...all things followed.... especially more out of the box thinkings.
Once again....thank you. Your an out of box thinker...and a few other cool things as well. Cheers.
Our story isn't where we start, it's where we take it to.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This has literally saved my life
Wow i hope my son will have this courage
Man
Just pround of ur self
Cuz god really saw u
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
God bless you forever, Grant Cardone ! 👍👍👍😇.
You were very lucky to have a home to go to once you decided to change.
LEGEND
Thank you for sharing
Great vid from the great man. I know he speaks from the heart here as i relate from experience. Right on dude. ty 4 vid.
Grant I kid you not word for word this explains my exact life in most ways. Sobriety has been my biggest fear but this is what I’ve learned most, idol hands are the devils work. So I’m the beginning part of staying sober and doing so I’m building my break home and looking at four plexs and scale from there. . In ten years I’m going to be living off real estate this WILL BE MY LIFE and I will win at my sobriety and i will be rich in life.
Amazing story Grant! It’s great that you have it under control so you can enjoy your whine without it becoming a bigger problem!! Uncle G out here rewriting the game. 🙏🙏👏
Wow ,so inspirational 🎉🎉🎉
🎉🎉🎉
I’m in recovery for fentanyl this year will be 5 years sober and I have a beautiful daughter and I’m hungry for success eveyone I talk to in my family don’t think big I’m thinking big I wanna have the biggest mental health organization in the world
Motivational 🔥👏🙌💯
That's incredible , didn't know you had it rough before. I'm going through a hard time in life too, at 53, not easy, but I'll keep on fighting
Ciao Bruno.....Come stai? "It is not the age at which we recover.....it is that we recover as we age!" Yes, you can borrow this as daily mantra for healing your heart.
You will get through it and be inspiration to millions
