I am so proud of you for not relapsing when you lost your job. It's so rough to not use when stuff goes south and it's so important celebrate that!
yes that is correct. but thank god I stayed strong so we are good to go. hitting the gym now I want to feel really healthy again!
As just a vet this is soooo relatable! It’s not about the money, your happiness is more important. Everyone should feel fulfilled in this life. I’m fw these vibes in the past few videos.
hell yea absolutely I agree. thanks for watching. I definitely feel good. and have been doing pretty good mentally as well lately!
What’s up Daniel, you haven’t posted in a while, we just wanna know you’re ok. Even if you’re relapsing it’s ok, we’re here for you no judgment we all have our vices.
Really feeling that new energy of yours! My favorite watch on a sleepless night. 😊 (midnight over here in Sweden) Thank you and keep up the good work!
thats awesome! thank you for watching!!! and always more content on the way!!!!
Going into rehab Monday , thanks for all your videos man it’s been helping me out
good to hear foreal!! that's awesome that my videos can help you like that. as a creator that's huge man. join my discord server link in description that is my little recovery community and its completely free
I dont know if they have the same thing in the US as Canada, but you can now get a shot once a month instead of going in everyday for subs. It is way better not having to worry about getting to the clinic every day and being around other users so constantly.
Hi. First off I've never been in your position but many of my friends are in recovery. My best friend was on the sub for years then got some painkillers after surgery and relapsed one weekend. He came to us on a monday to head back to rehab. When he got out that time it was a huge difference. He accredits it all to getting off the sub. He said that it really helped his self-esteem and overall view of life. His whole view changed. Keep your chin up. Don't stress about the job. There's a ton of them out there. "You can't fly with eagles when your hanging out with turkeys" Joe Dirt.
I just had a crazy realization as an addict you said spent $300/day right and as an addict by god you would get that $300 come hell or high water.
But as a sober person I wonder why it’s so hard like I feel broke soo often. I guess as an addict we did a lot more questionable shit to get the money.
But if I just spent that same effort and had that same “heart” for lack of a better word to get that money legally there’s no reason I should ever go through money struggled again.
Just kind of a little vent and realization I just had.
I know money isn’t everything but it does make life alot easier when you know bills are going to be paid and are able to do things with loved ones and not worry.
exactly bro. and essentially that's exactly what im trying to do right now as a matter of fact. Im hustling hard rn. just like I would back in the day. and I can say confidently if you put in the same effort to do it in recovery you legit can legally pull the same type of numbers, it might not be super consistent but at least enough to keep up if that makes sense. but yea man, just gotta spin that energy into positive forms of income!!!
@@danielsinrecovery Let’s get after it my dude! Love the positive mind set
I had that realization a while back too, I would go to extreme lengths to come up with $200 every day to make sure I’m not miserable. Kind of like you said, a lot of it was questionable. But I had it more times than not. I realize now it was more of me being scared of feeling so bad. And I’m the same way, complaining about getting my monthly script, but I realize I legit would spend more in a day sometimes.
I’m glad ur in recovery
thank you 💯❤️
Nothing & no one can replace a good father. She’ll love you forever for keeping her in your life❤️
absolutely. I know it. thanks man. appreciate you watching!!!
Hi Daniel - It's been 4 weeks... Hope everything is okay with you.
Just wanted to let you know that tapering off the subs is way easier than I expected. I was on 8mg/day for almost 2 years, and my doc had me start tapering super slowly, literally only 4mg per month.
So each month I got two 2mg pills less in my refill, and now I’m almost down to 2mg/day. I didn’t notice anything from the taper until recently, and it’s been very minor. If you start on a very slow taper, you won’t notice it for a super long time.
I was getting 112 pills per month, now I’m at 30 and it’s been WAY easier than I expected. I feel you on not wanting to start during a stressful period, but if you taper slowly, it won’t be a factor for a long time. I promise you.
Good luck and thanks for your great content as usual
word that's good to hear. yea a lot of shit got fucked up for me after all the shit happened so now I need to start slowing down from all of that now I feel like forsure. but alright man thanks for the advise, thanks for watching and supporting!
Hey man I have no idea how I found your channel, I personally have never struggled with any addiction or severe anxiety issues, but I just wanted you to know that you're doing a fantastic job with this channel and the content, takes a lot of guts, wisdom and power. Keep spreading help and love. You have my support!
You should ask about the sublocade shot...it's amazing, they switch you from subs to a shot once a month you take it twice or three times max then your done no withdrawals at all. Way easier then tapering off subs!
Happy your doing good homie i had a busy weekend wasn't able to to catch up on ya but lunchbreak is better listening to you and im happy they didn't mess with you for going to an outside provider for meds I see a separate addiction dr for my anxiety meds and one for my subs there are good drs out there that understand our struggles
That's great you have clear plans, wishing you all the best with all x
Thanks so much! 😊
You look much happier not being at work and working on yourself!
yesssss! thank you! no really I wont even lie Im feeling really good lately! been able to hit up the gym and all that good stuff and I have more time to work on some more of the things that I love. Im blessed to have this opportunity that's forsure! thanks for watching and supporting really means a lot!

You can always still see the subs in a person. My belief is if you can't do it in 1 prescription or less then you cant do it quite yet. The first part of the script is easy street then you as the person who wants to be free of the shit must not gradually but progressively taper yourself off.. Good work on your progress man. My advice on the job situation is that if you feel like you were targeted of wrongly terminated I would look into hiring a lawyer or finding on that you only have to pay if you win and sue them MF's. Get that Bankroll.
Bro if you not against it, go to a psychiatrist/doc to see if you have ADHD/add, it seriously help my opioid cravings/sobriety, if u don’t know stimulant relaease your natural endorphins like exercise but I believe to a much higher extent as I can almost feel the endorphins(they can’t cross your bbb so endorphins can get you high) but they def help pain, arms, legs /whole body feels good when I take my medication and it doesn’t fog you mind like opioids. Natural endorphins r the goat. Btw if you do get diagnosed, vyvanse is the best option as it has the least side effects/least anxiety inducing side effects and more confidence and focus enchantment
You ever thought about writing a script for a film like make your own basket ball diaries but about your experiences, try and get in touch with some directors at some film festivals see if you can get your story out.
I am in an RN program right now. Also in recovery and on subs. Let me know if you want my tips. The main one is don’t tell people about your past unfortunately
ohhhh awesome! that's cool yea definitely I would have some questions for you. if you wouldn't mind you should totally email me! daniel@danielsinrecovery.com . anyways thanks for watching and supporting I remember you were in my live the other day as well. thank you!!! 💯✌🏻❤️
Hello🎉
That is so funny bc when I first started taking subs, I was paying in cash and I felt the exact same way. Good god this shit is fucking expensive but then when I stopped to think about it, I was taking the 30 mg oxy and I would take anywhere between 6 to 10 per day so I was spending between $150-$250 every single day so in reality it really wasn’t that expensive but now my insurance covers it so I don’t pay a dime for them. I usually take 8 mg in the morning and then I tried to remember to take it early enough because it does give me a boost of energy so I try to take my second dose by 6 o’clock but sometimes I do forget but I never forget the morning dose.
Oh and one other thing. Hats off to you for handling the job loss so eloquently. It would be a good (or we addicts think good) excuse to pick up and relapse. I recently started working with (sponsoring) someone very new in recovery - her DOC was alcohol and she’s only been off of it for about 3 weeks and she recently lost her job bc they smelled alcohol on her as she had been drinking. She recently got a new job which was not what she thought it was at all and she hates it and wants to quit (mind u she’d only been working there 2 days). She told me that if she continues to work there, she’s going to be miserable and will probably pick up a drink but if she quits her husband is going to be pissed off at her and she’s probably gonna pick up a drink. I told her number one priority do not pick up that first drink. I then said you’ve only been there two days and you might not like it but look at it as a temporary situation and continue to look for a better job sometimes when we first get clean and sober, we do have to humble ourselves, but the bottom line is if she drinks nothing is going to get better. It’s only going to get much worse. If she doesn’t pick up a drink, things will improve. Hopefully I got through to her anyway I’m proud of you, good job!!!
yea exactly and its crazy the amount we spend back then and now its like a fraction of it and yea its like wtf haha, but no, just gotta turn that energy around so that you can keep that same motion but legally!
Hiya mate hope your having a fun weekend ,can I say though your intelligent so probably know ,but as your recovering might as well do everything ,we can see the sht youv been on has effected your skin ,when the sun's shining get some rays not only will it ,wipe out your pasty face youl get vital vitamin d as well ,hope you can take that on the chin lar ,greetings from England 🤝🏴
yea I feel it I'm definitely not the type to stay inside. I need to make a video about that and really keep shit real with y'all. but basically, it's like this anxiety tick that I get whenever I'm anxious I start fuckin with my face so that's what the deal is there to be real. but anyways, thanks for stopping by and watching!
@@danielsinrecovery your an interesting dude keep em coming mate .
Im hooked on poppy seed tea. What is a good first step in recovery

ayyye! thanks for watching !!!! 💯
My friend Mike, was drinking liquid Suboxone he was at 240cc Now he's finally weaning down he's at 120cc or dose he was in rehab initially to get that liquid And he told me it's as addictive as herion. So he's Now trying to get off it. 😊
Liquid suboxone ? Do you mean methadone ? Suboxone is not really bioavailable orally … so that can’t be right. Unless you mean the injection?
@@L._._ Yeah your right it's methadone, I never had to take it so maybe that's why I'm confused. LoL 🤣
@@user-uu4vv9nl8n haha okay I was like … what ?! 😂 that’s like saying someone was doing the snortable alcohol
interesting ive legit never heard or ever seen anything called liquid Suboxone before. is that like a different country type of thing or what???
@@danielsinrecovery he meant methadone
First 🤟🏽
Yea buddy!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Damn they let you take suboxone and a benzo that’s crazy. That’s also a crazy combo and not clean no judgment but you can’t say you’re sober while on that combo
I would disagree respectfully of course, but in my opinion, in my style of recovery, if your not getting your shit of the street and everything that's going into your body is under supervision of a doc and getting drug tested and closely monitored I would still consider that to be at least in "recovery". There's no way id be where Im at currently if I was still hitting any type of like street source.
Hay Daniel have U heard of the bridge device? Was just wondering? It stops hanging out . Just wondering if U have ever met anyone or heard of it. Love Ur vlogz keep em coming! Bec
😢oh and ppl use the bridge device to get of sub
wait what? na I never heard of that! what's that all about? I gotta look that up.
Hey I’ve researched it a ton. Keith Richards used it. If you used it I’d love info about it. Just an ear piece?
Good to hear you want to lower your dose
word, appreciate it!
Hey bro ..I don’t want to bring up the topic..but any updates on Kelly?😶
as soon as I know I will let everyone know!
How come heroin users smoke it off of tinfoil? I get that it needs to slide around, but cant you get the same effect from a crack pipe? It seems way more convenient and you can roll it around the bulb at the end as well while its being heated. How come tinfoil is the preferred method?
When you’re recovered can you change your UA-cam name to RecoveredDan
ill have to consider that one. i believe we are always in recovery. once you've had that set in, its always there, just have to be stronger than the demons
Dam them benzos can fuck you up hardcore
yea they can
