#iamsecond @jepandjessicarobertson

The Prodigal - Getting out of a rut takes the help of someone else. But when one of their own was trapped in drugs and deception, it took… a family.

Yall probably won't see this since it's been 2 years but anyhow. I struggled with addiction from about 15 - 24 years old. My family just tried to love it out of me. I wish they had given me an ultimatum like yours did. It took me going to prison for 5 years to realize what I was missing. I got out 10 years ago and have a great life now. I thank God every day for all my blessings and answering my mama's prayers.

" I need Jesus more than I need the next breath I take." Jep Robertson of us need Him that much. All of mankind.) Thanks, Jep for sharing this.

Was addicted to drugs for 6 years. Got sober at 24 my parents didn’t even tell me they were proud of me. Now I’ve been sober close to a year. Got a good job, just got my own house. My parents could still care less. I’d do anything to have my parents show me love like that.

EDIT: Thank all you guys for the kind words!! Still going strong. It’s been a battle but it’s definitely shaping me into the man I know I’m suppose to be and looking back now at 27 I can truly say I’m proud of my self and how far I’ve came! Hope all of you stay blessed in this crazy world.

One thing I can say about this series is the whole Robertson clan can open up and be brutally honest. Sometimes it's difficult to hear but at the same time a blessing. May God continue to bless the Robertsons in all they do.

God is great! I'd been an atheist for over 20 years. Seeing my wife and son baptized brought me back to the Lord around 2 years ago and I have served him and will serve him for the rest of my days. Y'all stay safe and God bless

I love how this family uses their past as a testimony… they don’t try to hide it and be hypocrites about it they use it to help people and as a testimony and to witness God’s love and grace.. love this family and everything they do.. Thank you Jesus for your mercy♥️

[bigrhinonagy]

God bless jep i was on that same path and i found Jesus and I've been clean for 12 years now and it feels great

[chrisdarling]

Dude, thank you for this story. I'd do anything for a family like yalls. I'm a prodigal who's still struggling. I drink to escape and chase women looking for love. I know all I need is Jesus. I just can't seem to let him take over. Please pray for me.

This family has changed the lives of many. People that they don’t know. They are a mouth piece for our Heavenly Father. God Bless!

By the power of Jesus Christ, I have been sober since 12/26/2017. I am grateful for a loving and Godly family, without which, I would not be here today.

[GRACEthroughhisgift]

18 years sober and so happy when I can share my story to help someone else. That's why I always loved these guys. They talk from the heart and rely on Gods grace to help.

[robindew]

This family has such integrity, morals and humbleness. Such wisdom amongst them.

[davidbensonjr.]

This hits home. Praise God for saving me from addiction!

I never felt so emotional over a strangers story in my life before. It was just like something I WISH I COULD HAVE HAD HAPPEN!! I HAD NO FAMILY! I had the drugs and bad choices with bad people. I'm sober n clean after 11 yrs of drugs.. was 13 yrs clean before that and fell off the wagon one day.. you Mr. Robertson have a Beautiful Family!! A Godly Family!! What a BLESSING!!

[matthewmurray]

My story is so similar. Unfortunately it took me losing all my family, bring locked up continuously to ever finally get it. I was laying in bed one morning in jail and just decided no matter what I would never go back to that life when I got out. In one month, Aug 27th, it'll be 5 years sober. It took 2-3 of those years and hard work to ever gain some of my family back. It's a miracle I'm even here really. Love watching videos like this just to remind myself

6 years sober here. Was hooked on pills for 10 years. Relapsed probably 8 times over the years before. Lost everything a man could lose. Family, friends, jobs. On my own with my dog nowadays but it teaches me everyday to thank God and be grateful that I made it out to the other side. I’ve grown up so much and learned that I can survive on my own. Great job now, sober, and happy. Getting clean saved my life.
