This one hurt... the pain... wow. And then even though his girlfriend was enabling him, how she checked him for disrespecting his mom was great!

[devwil_]

You can tell he is a good guy at heart. The way he wipes his mother's nose or hands her a tissue just shows that he still has the caretaker in him back when his father was alive.

I never drank until I hit an early mid life crisis at 30. I spent nearly 5 years drinking nightly. My husband of 15 years and I had turned into functional alcoholics. We’ve now been sober for about 2 months and it feels great!!

[mrmezfg]

His girlfriend goes “I’m not trying to condone your alcoholism” and then hands him vodka and a beer 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Dude lost his father, who was also his best friend and got molested.

I would actually be surprised if he didn't go crazy somehow. Thank God he's recovering

One word: TRAUMA. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from substance abuse.
I’ve been clean in the past for numerous years then relapse . This last relapse changed me . 19 months sober .
Started school last week. I had a lot of trauma growing up. Neglect . Only bc my mom was a single parent. Dad Drank till oblivion 😢 I didn’t know how to love my own child bc of that trauma. Blessings to everyone ❤🙏
He’s sober too now ❤❤20 years.

“And Marijuana, on top of that” gurl that’s the least problematic drug of of his concerns. 😂😂

[OnePalestine]

That was my worst nightmare also. My son was not molested, there was no divorce. My beautiful wonderful son went off the rails in high school. He drank vodka all day everyday and whatever else he could get his hands on. He is gone now. At 30.

[Peeples]

I gotta be honest... the transition slides @2:29 are HILARIOUS. Like... woohoo for twins! DANNY WAS MOLESTED BY AN EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBER.

[kpops]

I think the reaction to the intervention says a lot about the person. For someone so deep in addiction to respond with such sensitivity and care says a lot of good about him and his family. I hope he continues to recover.

The thing that always gets me about these is how incredibly different everyone looks 90 days later! So healthy!
Happy for Daniel and Sarrah. 💜

[ashleighbaugh]

I love good outcomes. Even though he relapsed, it happens, and he got right back up and went back into rehab and that is truly so strong and brave of him. So many people relapse after getting clean and end up giving up and never getting sober again and overdosing in some way or another. It's okay to make mistakes, but choosing to do right after making a mistake and getting back up is awesome. Happy for him and Sarrah both ❤

These stories are thr reason I got clean. I too was sexuallly abused as a child. At 22 my liver was failing me, I was puking blood, I was yellow, my stomach was distended, I gained 100lbs from age 20 to age 22, developed asthma from smoking, was hospitalized 5 times for that. This year I quit smoking, drinking and binge eating, I lost 50lbs so far and can workout strenuously for over an hour, haven't touched my inhaler since quitting.


I finally know what it feels like to be happy naturally, to enjoy something as simple as a board game or the birds chirping. I now can visualize a future, I used to think about how'd I'd be found and wether it'd be my liver or my lungs that kill me. 25, 28 maybe? I knew it'd happen in the next 5 years.

I started looking at rings recently, been with my boyfriend since 19. He's never been into drinking or smoking..I have no idea how he delt with me. We once went on a camping trip right before I got sober last fall and I drank so much I had to get my stomach pumped because I was dying.

Idk who would marry that person, I struggle with that.

[pleiades.puppets]

So glad he's doing well (or at least I hope). I probably lost a good ten years of my life due to alcoholism. I can't regret it, though. I think I learned something from it and can certainly relate to people who struggle with this. I appreciate my life so much more now.

[galaxyrose]

You can tell by how he receives the intervention that deep down he has a good heart and the substances are ruining that.

[ethanross]

My dad passed away back in 2007. We were very close. I went down a dark path of drug and alcohol abuse from thea ages of 15-23. I'm 27 now and doing much better. I've slipped up once or twice but I'm in a much better place now. I can empathize with Daniel.

[claycollins]

Her concern for him sharing a bottle LOL she'd die knowing I shared a needle with a couple of people I didn't even know at the times

[TheOrphanLaboy]

Those drawings were rough 😂 they did him petty posting those

[LisaAus]

My mother has been an alcoholic my whole life (42 years) I was a very heavy drinker/party goer for about 10 years. My 3 kids, 2 are of legal age, they don't drink, they don't do drugs they despise both. I I cannot be thankful enough for that. My heart hurts for this mother she seems very lovely x
