Damn. I'm a herrion addict and I'm on methadone program. I started at 17 and I'm 32 now. I would give someone a million dollars to get me clean

[thomasshingleton]

[oceanlabrees]

Look at me mum squatting pissed in a tube hole at tattenham court road. I just come out of a ship talking to the most blonde I ever met. Shouting, “lager! Lager! Lager!lager!”

[bndrywallllc.]

[randallrasnick]

Pat your the man! Don't stop don't ever stop what you have cooked up! Just learned about you today. True inspiration, fan for life here!

[Jay-sqee]

The evidence of God exist in our connections.

Hmm

Thanks for that

Sounds like you went through some cognitive dissonance too.

As addicts and intellects we know there’s something deeply sad about this world.

But there’s also a lot of good too.


Thanks for some inspiration.

I’m trying my best to clean up it’s the hardest thing ever it’s like the devils punishing you and you’re trapped in the vicious cycle hope I beat this

[taylorconnauton]

I have been in and out of recovery for years now and this is the first time I've stay this clean and it was on my own terms and choices some recovery is right some is to much for you but one day we'll all get thete

[natalielawrence]

Born slippy too. In recovery but not in the rooms... this makes me think about returning. It seems to be the only way I have that spiritual component in my life- and I miss that. Love your videos 😇

[Gurl-]

God was always the hitch for me in the whole 12 steps programs...

[badhabit]

Great song.! Trainspotting sound track.

[eslavicky]

Smoked weed avidly for over a decade!! Last month I quit and almost 1month sober!!

Whatever they say that weed isn’t addictive is false. There’s moments I crave it and other times I feel good and proud to have taken control of myself rather than being a slave to smoking every fuking moment 😅

This New Year’s Eve a friend of mine had a house party with a DJ and while music was being set up, people were drinking and smoking of course. It was challenging at first but when the music started playing it was over! The music took control 🎉 I love dancing and realized I didn’t need to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The rhythm too over! Haha As it always had in my teen years before I drank or smoked.

Pat I don’t care what some negative people say, you’re awesome and courageous being raw about addiction and sharing your experience out here. It’s helping those who need it the most. It’s easy for people hiding behind a computer/phone screen to criticize and be negative so Thank you.

Edit: to add and definitely not forget- Looking towards God, praying and trusting in him to keep me in his grace and give me strength is paramount!! 😇 Once day we will meet and rejoice in the victory of sobriety!!

Congratulations and keep going
Sober strong

[dennissharpe]

46 yo and that song brings back so many memories. Good and bad. 😢
12+ years sober never want to go back 🙏

[angelastone]

Man I can’t wait for the day I’m able to make it there. I keep getting to around the 9month mark & fucking it all up again. I’ve tried everything I can think of from meetings to MAP treatment, rational recovery helped quite a bit but something in me just can’t seem to make it. I pray I can make it to 17 years some day & figure this all out before it kills me.
Congratulations on 17 years & thank you for making this content to help show others there is hope, as well as de stigmatized addiction.

I don't get it how u could live ur whole life about sobriety I got 13 years clean yeai am around my favorite drug heroin but don't use it I do not live my life all about sobriety I stop and move on continue with my life simple but being and talking about sobriety sobriety sobriety all day every day I will go crazy

[jamescorbett]

Why does this dude talk about nothing but being sober. I drank, slammed heroin, smoked crack for over 15 years. When I got sober I didn't constantly talk about how long I've been sober. It's fucking annoying and seems like he's just seeking attention.
