Daniel, I'm not going to lie to you but this video brought tears to my eyes because I know how messed up it is, I know how scary it is, I wasted my whole life using drugs I finally got clean back in 2018 when my dad came down with COPD, I was thankful enough to be able to take care of him, he died in February and now I'm living in a motel,thank God I have a part-time job but my whole paycheck goes to rent,Thank God you have your mom and brother,my mom died in 2010 and im the only child, thank God I'm clean and sober today wishing you the best buddy,Greetings from Douglasville, Ga.
got it, wow, well I hope things start to look up for you man, that's rough as hell. I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel man it really means a lot to me. we gonna make it to the top together my man
As a person in recovery, retired military and the father of a son your age, I relate and empathize with you Daniel. A Father should never talk to their child that way. Thats all I will say about your father. The sooner you get out of his house, though, the better. It hits hard to hear you say your father hates you. That's terrible. Do you have a sponsor and/or therapist? I only ask because I havent noticed tou mentioning any. If you dont I think both would be a huge help. I dont go to the quack therapists at the VA. I have a civilian one that the VA covers. Stay strong dude and dont give your father the power to cause you to relapse. A situation like yours would make it tempting for me. That's the only reason I say that. I'll be praying for you brother. You got this.
@@9to5poker53 Dude relax. I have a month clean, that's it! I don't have crap to tell him. All I know is that I've got a month because I have a good sponsor and good therapist. The kid asked if anyone had any advice and that's what I have for advice. That's what got me through a month, so far, and they are the ones that will give it to me straight and not some junkie in the comments section on UA-cam. But good luck to you bud.
Bro! I’ve been watching your stuff for the past few years, and you have helped me out a ton. Your content makes me feel like I’m not alone in recovery. If you feel like you don’t have direction, I’ve been there. It was a super tough patch in my life. What has helped me is getting super obsessed with my work and family- and most importantly taking care of myself. Working out, eating healthy, self care, it all matters so much to people in recovery like us. You know all of this obviously- but sometimes we all need a reminder. Much love, keep your head up kid
Yea my dad was the same way when I got out of the service. He called me all types of stupid idiots and all this wild shit bro. Don’t let that shit get to you. Just focus on your sobriety and know you’re trying your best. My dad is a piece of work too so I understand fully.
It may sound insensitive but I wish I could live in a tent/car. I work about 50 hours a week and hate it. I’m quitting my job tomorrow with some money saved up. I’m almost 30 too. I’d rather work part time and be able to enjoy life
@@Northwest425 I’ve already done it. I quit my job and am on my last few weeks notice. minus the living in a tent/car part. I lost a lot of friends within a short period of time funnily enough. They pretended to care about my job overwork situation by saying “it’ll get better dude, work isn’t everything bro”. When I took that leap into the darkness of the unknown, they ghosted me. It made me angry realizing how unsupportive my friends really were. Anyhow, I got some musical talent so after my weeks notice is up ima hit the streets doing DoorDash and busk playing guitar on the days off DoorDash. Will get a 3rd gig, maybe weekends, at a bakery or something low key. One partial contributor of me going on the nomad lifestyle is the fact I’m ugly. I never had a girlfriend at 28, which doesn’t really bother me like it did in my early twenties. For that reason, I probably don’t need to worry about supporting kids in the future. I might aswell just travel and enjoy life
Hey! Just wanna say-- I'm in recovery for alcholism myself, 6 years and some change sober-- 36 years old. ..Dude, when I was 30, I was in the EXACT same position you are now. Just wanna send some love and let you know there are good people out there cheering you on. You're good looking, a great storyteller, and a friendly/no BS kinda-guy. You will go far and it WILL get better-- as long as you stay sober from hard drugs and drinking. Keep at it man, sounds like you're doing everything right so far. Little steps...
Judging by the title your hurting and its okay brother i feel you if you want my # or advise on meetings IM ALWAYS HERE. Wishing you the best brother WE GOT THIS
Hey brother all my love and amazing vibes to you keep your chin up your a real solid guy this will all pass before you know it you will be back on top again speaking as a addict too you really helped me out with all your discussions it's isn't easy one day at a time thank you for sharing with all of us stay safe brother.
Wuddup bro!? Good to see you homie! Just wanted to remind you so you don't feel alone feeling this way. As a recovering addict, we all go through this type shit with the fam. Its sucks. Getting the full trust back isn't easy. Some worse then others. Time heals all. Just keep at and things can go nowhere but up brother. You got this.
Just keep at it man, you got this! With your skills you have a lot of opportunity, anywhere in the states(AZ is great for healthcare). Just try not to be too picky... just save up some cash while you work and look for that dream career... Its always darkest before dawn! God Bless!
Daniel bro your life reminds me of mine so much I’m 26 and pretty much don’t have any family.. trying to find employment living with my gracious friend for now thank god I got him. Makes me feel better at least someone has a similar situation most people ik have good relationships with their family and it kills me bro especially on holidays
Sucks to see your fam tuen their back on you after yall were close , i go thru the exact same shh with my dad . Keep your head up og u look way better btw keep goin brodie
Wow bruv it's been a while my man! So good to see you! Wondering how you been. I'm moving so been off the internet for a minute or two. Anyways much love from me and all of us who think you're great mate. Q from New Zealand Also I have spent the last 2 years working in Viti. That's viticulture , working in vineyards to grow beast crops for production of wine. There is a massive future in the industry, both sides viti and winery side. Very nice life style too. Out in the country, cool people. And you can travel with it too. Half the winery crew are from north america or Europe. Constellation Brands is who I work for. The hire for attitude and train for skills. Which means experience is not necessary if the feel you are a good fit. You could come and work here in NZ, Marlborough region or Hawks Bay region, even far north if you want the tropics. Company helps with visas and sponsorships etc. It's a real thing you can actually do bruv! Like half our stuff are foreign, and are happy too!!,, Hit me up And i can tell you more.
Also those wondering, No I do not drink, but my Mrs does and she loves the 3K wine allowance a year plus all the other extras, perks and freebies. It's just me that cannot drink. I just had my Mum and Dad come visit from Tauranga, another very nice part of the world, and sent them home with 6 cases of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, all free as they were pass outs for people to try. I'm trying to make my case for people to come to the southern provinces and try their hands at Fortuna and glory again. Live in a romance novel guys, it's fun. Q
Life is full of bumps and turns. Your job is to navigate it the best you can. Your strong suit is in the medical field. I would get up tomorrow put on some nice clothes and hit up every medical office you can. You will find work.
Sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this. All I can say is focus on you right now, don’t try and figure out what’s going on in your Dad’s head. Focus on staying clean, finding a job and getting a place of your own. Small steps, it doesn’t have to be the job and house of your dreams at first just some stability that you can build on. Don’t do this for your Dad or Mom, do it for YOU. Maybe your Dad will change the way he thinks when he see’s you’re getting your life back together but try not to stress about that, you can’t overload yourself trying to fix everything now, a lot of shit has gone down so everyone in your life will be working through it. Have patience with yourself and those around you. Go to therapy if you can (or make sure you stick with it if you’re going already) and let it all out, don’t hold back and be honest about what you’re thinking. Most of all, stay on the subs! Opioids etc will numb it all out temporarily but things will get a million times worse because you can’t hide from reality!!! I know you know that but keep reminding yourself if you feel yourself slipping!! That’s the main thing that keeps me clean anyway if I’m tempted… One day at a time 💪🏻 ❤
I feel u bro my dad and I was close after he cheated on my my he grew hate for me cuz I had my moms side ! Ma ma boys till we die 🫡 don’t need no dad mama raised some beast !👏👏 you got this shi g!
Sorry to hear about your situation. Not sure if maybe your father is going through it mentally or something, but you can always keep your dignity and respect and just choose to walk away. I know you can’t do it now, but those small steps….get on Indeed and make it a point to apply 3 times a day. As hard as it is you got a realness about you, keep making these vids. Have heart and with time you’ll be in a much better place.
You have time bro, I started sorting my shir out and making a goal to start a business when I was 32. If you start a plan now by 35 you can have a really good life. You are still young!
I use to be like that with my dad at 20-25, 29 now mostly because I had an undiagnosed mental illness at the time, but before we all knew that he was on my case because I kept losing job after job, dropped out of college, and every time I asked for help (for example if my car broke down) he would be very frustrated and upset. There are plenty of studies saying that stress can cause in part and have an affect on multiple illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, ect (my sister has MS and I unfortunately have SZ.) I bring this up because I feel like you are going through a lot especially since you are sober now and you are dealing with your dad;s negativity. just managing stress alone can go a long way to helping you overcome a lot of obstacles. having fun is also important too! If it gets physical like it did with me and my dad, sometimes fighting back is worth it (which I learned the hard way because I love my dad) because it shows that you deserve respect. Anyway goodluck man you got this!
Bless you Daniel that's a sore one going through that with your dad. He dosnt deserve you to be honest, I can't wait to hear you have a new job. Then a new place to stay and back with your actual loved ones. Then never talk to him again! He's put you in this situation with your flat now looking down on you! After hurting your mum and all his false promises. Sorry but what a d#k! I hate to see u hurting like that 😢 you've been a medic for your country 💯👌 what a tough role you have done, and can still do! What an achievement 💪, your dads split up from his wife and 2 sons and walked 👎 So who is he to look down on anyone! Life is tough esp with an unsupportive parent. Thank goodness for your lovely mum and brother, it's true what they say u can pick your friends not your family! Still it is your dad and you still love him I know that 🫶 just think him and his misses should be ashamed of themselves. Making you feel uncomfortable 😣 in your own dad's home, in your short time of need! Your gonna get there and do so well. Find a nice place and be happy. Remember how this felt for the future when your flying 😁 Tables may turn and he might be down on his luck one time. I don't think you should kick anyone when there down. As things can change in a heartbeat so he should be kind to his son that's rough so sorry. But youve got this, I know it's really hard but Im sure you will get a good job! Then a nic place to stay and be back all settled and happy again 😁 Your trying so hard and it's not easy at all. Chin up and wish all the best ✌️🫶
Honestly its kind of fucked up you weren't able to see your Grandpa on his birthday... I would try to get out of that toxic place as soon as you can...
Ay these types wouldn’t love you if you were a rich finance guy or mid crashout, pay them no mind their love is conditional and even with conditions met it’s not real love, keep going trooper I salute 🫡
I’m in Vegas too. Nearly 30. Spend most of my free time outside walking or in my car, sweating my ass off because it’s better than being at home around my step dad
I also have a dad who Made my life hell when i needed a Home, because i lost everything because of Alcohol. Everything is gonna get good when you got a Job and your own Apartment. I Wish the best for you!
Are your mom & bro staying at your grandma’s house & can you stay with them awhile (sorry- missed that part) I remember she was living with you at your apt. Anyway- sorry your dad is being lousy. I think he still loves you tho- he just sounds frustrated & tired & angry & just wants everything all set & done so he doesn’t have to worry about anything anymore. *don’t regret vacay at all!! I’m glad you had fun- you deserve it!!🙌
You dont need advice of others cuz you answered all your own questions. Your old man wants to see you succeed. Get a job, get back on your feet and get your own place. You said it all
Ur lucky u have ur real dad around. I wish I had mine still to get on me like that. Says a lot. If he ain't give a dam he wouldn't address u in such a way
Older generations think that you need to have everything figured out by the time you turn like 25 it doesn’t work that way. Shit the weirdest moment in my life is when I realized as an adult that even my parents really don’t know what they’re doing.
I turn 30 soon and I have no direction and I’ve learned that is the way I like it. I don’t own very much stuff and don’t want to. I just work hard and enjoy myself
Damn man… that’s rough. I remember one time my mom came knocking at a house I rented and called me a piece of shit and that id never do anything with my life for smoking weed with my little bro who was 17 at the time, lol. Try not to let it bother ya bud and try and gtfo outta there!
I think that really, your dad and you care for each other. I'd try talking with him and tell him you want the best for him and you remember when you felt you were both close. Keep kicking - I have my fingers crossed for you!
Get ur self a guard card there's ton of jobs in vegas work two security jobs one full time one part time try working event's for ur second job save up money then study for a supply chain job
as a vet can you take advantage of VA's HUD-VASH program to help you secure a better housing situation? i don't know all the details of the program but a VA social worker might be able to give you some ideas
I believe so but im not completely homeless and not to mention the place they put us vets out here in Las Vegas is worse than the cheapest apartment I can find out here. Im trying to stay out of the hood as best as possible
Hey brother, everything is gonna come out okay. Keep making videos you have a knack for story telling. I think just based on what I’m hearing is that your father is taking his anger out on you about life. Not only that, he knows you’re close with your mom. They probably started hooking up again, then realized that they just aren’t compatible which is why it didn’t work this time around again. Now his anger towards your mom is coming out on you. Maybe I’m just overlooking some things but that is my guess.
I went down from 8 to 1mg a day at a steady pace. Going any lower is really a challenge. My honest opinion is 16mg+ is unnecessary. That's such a large amount of bupe. I'm not knocking what works for people, though.
Keep your head up, despite him. He should never talk to you like that. Remember a lot of when they act like that it’s really fear deep down. You’re doing fine, you’re alive you are trying! You’ll figure it out. Definitely get out of his house asap , but it sucks you have to.
Is it possible that your dad doesn't want you to have the same life he does? Maybe he's so hard on you because he sees alot of himself in you. There are some similarities. It doesn't sound like your dad has that great of a life,you need to get yourself a place and fast! Also,there's nothing wrong with getting emotional about your dad,it just means you care💓
I was just thinking the same thing when it came across your comment on Daniel in recovery video regarding going back a few decades and fix the mistakes I made, God I wish I could go back and fix all the mistakes I made
@@andrej.trepanier6185Yes. To be 30 again with all the things I know to be better. Daniel is at that perfect age to make the right decisions that will affect the rest of his life. I’m hoping he will.
Yea, I was thinking wow he was just in So. California. Would love to visit there. But heard a lot of problems out there right now. Last I heard you were starting school to become a RN. Have you given up on that. I understand a job most come first. Wow maybe you need to get away from your father.
Danielle, I really do appreciate your channel and I appreciate your struggles and the message .ive been sober 2 years and had an 22 year addiction. Im on your side But you just need to start speaking more articulately. You’re not really farming any solid thoughts Or statements it’s all just “ shit know what I’m saying, blah blah blah” Your story is making no progression and it’s getting to the point where it’s just counterproductive. Instead of just telling us about how your dad said “blah blah blah and shit know what I’m saying “? tell us what he said I have no problem with American colloquial but The story you’re telling is impacting a lot of people. your details are vague at best. I don’t think you’re fully honest. just step it up a little bit man and before you make a video sit down and journal. Follow a structure or draft of what your video is trying to accomplish. I really really do enjoy your channel and really really do care about you even though you’re somebody I’ve never met but come from a grandfather junkie I’m just trying to give you a little bit of my constructive criticism if that isn’t something you can do just keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll stay subscribed. I’ll keep liking your videos. This stream of consciousness shit is just like sitting at a meeting where one person talks for an hour without saying anything because when you’re asking “know what I’m saying” I really don’t.
Anyway I’m probably totally coming off as. Pretentious douche. I just think you could help and are helping so many people but it could also be even more. You’re a conduit for self improvement and harm reduction. Just think about what I said. Don’t hate on me… know what I’m sayin? ;)
Your pops just is mad your at the beach with no job bro! Like think about that man workin his ass off n seeing you hitting the bong and heading to the beach lmao. Aka get a job bro
Damn man your dad doesn't sound like a healthy guy to be around at all. I don't blame you for being around him cuz there's a lot of context but I hope you're able to free yourself from him
Daniel, I'm not going to lie to you but this video brought tears to my eyes because I know how messed up it is, I know how scary it is, I wasted my whole life using drugs I finally got clean back in 2018 when my dad came down with COPD, I was thankful enough to be able to take care of him, he died in February and now I'm living in a motel,thank God I have a part-time job but my whole paycheck goes to rent,Thank God you have your mom and brother,my mom died in 2010 and im the only child, thank God I'm clean and sober today wishing you the best buddy,Greetings from Douglasville, Ga.

@brookreaderson Nice brother I am also on a taper we got this I'm down 14mg. My taper is 2 mg a week i drop. On my way to 0mg my dude. WE GOT THIS.
@@miketan8857how do you feel doing 2mg a week do you feel bad any time ?
I use to be like that with my dad at 20-25, 29 now mostly because I had an undiagnosed mental illness at the time, but before we all knew that he was on my case because I kept losing job after job, dropped out of college, and every time I asked for help (for example if my car broke down) he would be very frustrated and upset. There are plenty of studies saying that stress can cause in part and have an affect on multiple illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, ect (my sister has MS and I unfortunately have SZ.) I bring this up because I feel like you are going through a lot especially since you are sober now and you are dealing with your dad;s negativity. just managing stress alone can go a long way to helping you overcome a lot of obstacles. having fun is also important too! If it gets physical like it did with me and my dad, sometimes fighting back is worth it (which I learned the hard way because I love my dad) because it shows that you deserve respect. Anyway goodluck man you got this!
His Dad sounds like a piece of s
In reality nobody has it figured out bro we’re all just winging life
yea ive come to that conclusion as well
Bless you Daniel that's a sore one going through that with your dad.
He dosnt deserve you to be honest, I can't wait to hear you have a new job. Then a new place to stay and back with your actual loved ones.
Then never talk to him again! He's put you in this situation with your flat now looking down on you! After hurting your mum and all his false promises. Sorry but what a d#k!
I hate to see u hurting like that 😢 you've been a medic for your country 💯👌 what a tough role you have done, and can still do!
What an achievement 💪, your dads split up from his wife and 2 sons and walked 👎
So who is he to look down on anyone!
Life is tough esp with an unsupportive parent.
Thank goodness for your lovely mum and brother, it's true what they say u can pick your friends not your family!
Still it is your dad and you still love him I know that 🫶 just think him and his misses should be ashamed of themselves. Making you feel uncomfortable 😣 in your own dad's home, in your short time of need!
Your gonna get there and do so well. Find a nice place and be happy.
Remember how this felt for the future when your flying 😁
Tables may turn and he might be down on his luck one time. I don't think you should kick anyone when there down. As things can change in a heartbeat so he should be kind to his son that's rough so sorry.
But youve got this, I know it's really hard but Im sure you will get a good job! Then a nic place to stay and be back all settled and happy again 😁
Your trying so hard and it's not easy at all. Chin up and wish all the best ✌️🫶
Honestly its kind of fucked up you weren't able to see your Grandpa on his birthday... I would try to get out of that toxic place as soon as you can...
yea 100% that was some bullshit
Ay these types wouldn’t love you if you were a rich finance guy or mid crashout, pay them no mind their love is conditional and even with conditions met it’s not real love, keep going trooper I salute 🫡
I’m in Vegas too. Nearly 30. Spend most of my free time outside walking or in my car, sweating my ass off because it’s better than being at home around my step dad
I also have a dad who Made my life hell when i needed a Home, because i lost everything because of Alcohol. Everything is gonna get good when you got a Job and your own Apartment. I Wish the best for you!
yes I believe you are correct. that will happen very soon!
Are your mom & bro staying at your grandma’s house & can you stay with them awhile (sorry- missed that part) I remember she was living with you at your apt.
Anyway- sorry your dad is being lousy. I think he still loves you tho- he just sounds frustrated & tired & angry & just wants everything all set & done so he doesn’t have to worry about anything anymore. *don’t regret vacay at all!! I’m glad you had fun- you deserve it!!🙌
Family aint always family. Sometimes theyre just relatives.
@@9to5poker53 im speaking from my own experience
shit I guess so man
You dont need advice of others cuz you answered all your own questions. Your old man wants to see you succeed. Get a job, get back on your feet and get your own place. You said it all
yup on the way to it
Ur lucky u have ur real dad around. I wish I had mine still to get on me like that. Says a lot. If he ain't give a dam he wouldn't address u in such a way
I totally relate. My mom is like your dad. Its HARD
Nothing to it but to do it brother, you got this
Older generations think that you need to have everything figured out by the time you turn like 25 it doesn’t work that way.
Shit the weirdest moment in my life is when I realized as an adult that even my parents really don’t know what they’re doing.
@@dewwwd3431 no one knows what thier doing everyone makes mistakes in life
Yea I think ur right man shit is crazy
I turn 30 soon and I have no direction and I’ve learned that is the way I like it. I don’t own very much stuff and don’t want to. I just work hard and enjoy myself
word, nothing wrong with it. I just want my own spot!!!
Damn man… that’s rough. I remember one time my mom came knocking at a house I rented and called me a piece of shit and that id never do anything with my life for smoking weed with my little bro who was 17 at the time, lol. Try not to let it bother ya bud and try and gtfo outta there!
yea it is what it is. just gotta move forward. thankfully things have been falling in place
I think that really, your dad and you care for each other. I'd try talking with him and tell him you want the best for him and you remember when you felt you were both close. Keep kicking - I have my fingers crossed for you!
Check out MARK Lanigan‘s sing backwards and weep
Get ur self a guard card there's ton of jobs in vegas work two security jobs one full time one part time try working event's for ur second job save up money then study for a supply chain job
interesting, ill look into that as well
Good luck bro. Stay on your subs.
as a vet can you take advantage of VA's HUD-VASH program to help you secure a better housing situation? i don't know all the details of the program but a VA social worker might be able to give you some ideas
I believe so but im not completely homeless and not to mention the place they put us vets out here in Las Vegas is worse than the cheapest apartment I can find out here. Im trying to stay out of the hood as best as possible
Cool video. I think it is a positive to know whats going down in your life and how you are trying to figure it out.
Hey brother, everything is gonna come out okay. Keep making videos you have a knack for story telling.
I think just based on what I’m hearing is that your father is taking his anger out on you about life. Not only that, he knows you’re close with your mom.
They probably started hooking up again, then realized that they just aren’t compatible which is why it didn’t work this time around again. Now his anger towards your mom is coming out on you.
Maybe I’m just overlooking some things but that is my guess.
Im on 10mg buprenorphine (Subutex) a day. Have you upped your dosage from 16mg or went down?
I went down from 8 to 1mg a day at a steady pace. Going any lower is really a challenge. My honest opinion is 16mg+ is unnecessary. That's such a large amount of bupe.
I'm not knocking what works for people, though.
Danie currently thinking of something to say, want to let you know already sending you good vibes
Keep your head up, despite him. He should never talk to you like that. Remember a lot of when they act like that it’s really fear deep down. You’re doing fine, you’re alive you are trying! You’ll figure it out. Definitely get out of his house asap , but it sucks you have to.
Is it possible that your dad doesn't want you to have the same life he does? Maybe he's so hard on you because he sees alot of himself in you. There are some similarities. It doesn't sound like your dad has that great of a life,you need to get yourself a place and fast! Also,there's nothing wrong with getting emotional about your dad,it just means you care💓
I guarantee it's cuz of the trees, Dads be trippin of the weed
I'm struggling to quit weed
Yeah definitely need to get out of there, after you get out things might change, but worry about you first.
🙏💚🙏
what happened to going back to school to become a RN?
Wish I could go back a few decades and fix the mistakes I made. You can! 👍
I was just thinking the same thing when it came across your comment on Daniel in recovery video regarding going back a few decades and fix the mistakes I made, God I wish I could go back and fix all the mistakes I made
@@andrej.trepanier6185Yes. To be 30 again with all the things I know to be better. Daniel is at that perfect age to make the right decisions that will affect the rest of his life. I’m hoping he will.
Yea, I was thinking wow he was just in So. California. Would love to visit there. But heard a lot of problems out there right now. Last I heard you were starting school to become a RN. Have you given up on that. I understand a job most come first. Wow maybe you need to get away from your father.
When it's tough you get to show who you really are. Family shit is always hard.
109 degrees?! How do you get used to heat like that? :(
Yeah man i wasted my 30 s drinking and drugging and now im about to lose half my teeth because of an accident i got into feom drinking. Sucks
yea bro not fun at all
You would think the VA would get you a job !
they can, but its to much red tape, your better off just goin out on your own in my opinion. its faster at least
I’m new here. Can I recommend a book to you? Resiliency Unlimited by Retired Army Chaplain Paul Lynn. 🙂
word, ill check that out!
Could you join the military again?
possibly, but more than likely not with my medical history
Bro go to a camping store and get yourself a small blowup mat atleast. Sleeping on the floor is rediculous. Take care of yourself bro.
no space and my cat popped my last one
Danielle, I really do appreciate your channel and I appreciate your struggles and the message .ive been sober 2 years and had an 22 year addiction. Im on your side But you just need to start speaking more articulately. You’re not really farming any solid thoughts Or statements it’s all just “ shit know what I’m saying, blah blah blah” Your story is making no progression and it’s getting to the point where it’s just counterproductive. Instead of just telling us about how your dad said “blah blah blah and shit know what I’m saying “? tell us what he said I have no problem with American colloquial but The story you’re telling is impacting a lot of people. your details are vague at best. I don’t think you’re fully honest. just step it up a little bit man and before you make a video sit down and journal. Follow a structure or draft of what your video is trying to accomplish.
I really really do enjoy your channel and really really do care about you even though you’re somebody I’ve never met but come from a grandfather junkie I’m just trying to give you a little bit of my constructive criticism if that isn’t something you can do just keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll stay subscribed. I’ll keep liking your videos. This stream of consciousness shit is just like sitting at a meeting where one person talks for an hour without saying anything because when you’re asking “know what I’m saying” I really don’t.
And I’m sorry Daniel not Danielle
What happened to nursing school?
ill make a video on this
Why don't you door dash? You got a car and a license you can make a few hundred a day easy.
No offense but your vlogs have had no direction as of late jk keep pushing
haha dammm, yea im definitely not giving up
You'll get back up on ur feet. I punched my step dad in the face so I'm going through it too
Anyway I’m probably totally coming off as. Pretentious douche. I just think you could help and are helping so many people but it could also be even more. You’re a conduit for self improvement and harm reduction. Just think about what I said. Don’t hate on me… know what I’m sayin? ;)
Your pops just is mad your at the beach with no job bro! Like think about that man workin his ass off n seeing you hitting the bong and heading to the beach lmao. Aka get a job bro
Bro you said you’d finally talk about your recovery but you didn’t lol
what do you want to know
@@danielsinrecovery details of the last relapse, it would make a great video I’m sure
Damn man your dad doesn't sound like a healthy guy to be around at all. I don't blame you for being around him cuz there's a lot of context but I hope you're able to free yourself from him
