Yo the way that I approach it is I’m not drinking today. I’m not doing math today. I still haven’t decided about tomorrow. I definitely can’t face thinking about never doing things again. But every single damn day I wake up and I decide it’s not today. And that I can deal with. That is obtainable to me! You can do this Family!!!
You can do it I’m 235 days sober and jd is so right it’s something you gotta take a day at a time I can’t say I’ll never drink again but I can say I won’t drink today
Still a pothead but got clean from meth, coke, and pill 3 years ago and shits still rough to this day then I watch your videos and it's a good reminder to ignore the itch aswell as a really good story, I'm glad I found your channel man keep the content flowing
@user-bp5xp2vk7w it really does, especially after they diagnosed me with scitzophrenia and psychosis a few years back, it really helps mellow the bs out 🤣
Not many old school people around anymore, love that your teaching old school. Most importantly NEVER snitch. Also so cool you’ve changed your life and have become a coach to others. Awesome!!!
What's up big dog? I think you hit the nail on the head with the " if you add up all the time I should be doing" comment as to why I watch these videos. Fortunately I never had to do a long stint in jail but I was definitely deserving of some serious time back in my hay day. I just like to watch these videos to remind myself that I don't want to fall back into my old ways and end up in these types of situations. I'm sitting on 3 1/2 years sober with 11 out of the last 12. I had a pretty bad relaps about 4 1/2 years ago that lasted a little over a year. But im back on my grind raising my teenage and pree teen boys just doing my thing and thankfully keeping my nose clean. Keep up the good work my guy and thank you for the constant reminder that nobody really wants to go down that other path.
Im glad theres guys out there trying to encourage guys to pull their lives together. It was hard pulling mine together, but the last decade has made it worth it.
You are pretty fucken awesome! Your videos help me stay clean more then you could imagine. My wife is so fucken happy I stumbled on your channel! Thank you brother!
Been watching you for awhile , really respect and admire all the work \energy you put in ur videos. You and ur wife seem like good people. Thank you, for pouring out laughs instead of the anger and hate. You are truly helping people which is what we broken people need , healing .
Thanks JD and a great message as Always keep it up. If we can just keep one from going to prison it's better than none and as an old ex con told me " your worst day in the free world is better than your best day In prison
I've got pretty out of it stories with my life involving the MMM here in NZ. MY whole life has been a part of the MMM, and I'm still alive with many stories. Have seen many unfortunate situations that have happened around me. Nobody knows about this, but since watching you, I feel ok. I feel that there are certain situations that are just a part of your life, and there's nothing you can do at that time. Much respect to you, JD. Btw, it pretty much came to m as a young kid and I never asked for it
Jd i have never been to prison . Saw one off your videos on you tube and subscribed i am arecoering alcoholic 28 years sober, i think your u tube channel is the best thig the young people can hear, u dont glamorize prison ar addiction and when you tell people about your new life it is a great help. Any way just a short note to congratulate u on being sober and passing it on all the best
I absolutely adore your channel and stories! You are very passionate about the things you believe in and I respect that 100%, you truly inspire me as a person 😅 I know this is long as this vid is literally about prison tattoos, but I really wanted to share how cool I think you are! I’ll be watching religiously 🙏 THANK YOU AGAIN
Hey! I am so sorry that I missed this comment. I really absolutely appreciate you! Thank you so much for your kind words, and for being a part of this community! You taking the time to see this, literally made my day!🖤🖤🤘🏻
I appreciate it, but there’s so many good creators with so many great stories and different types of experience! That’s what makes this topic so entertaining! Thank you for being here family! 🖤🤘🏻
Well bro I had something happen to me when I was 11 - 13 and it has fucked me up badly bro I struggled with alcohol and other stuff no downers just uppers ... and watching your stuff has helped me more than u could ever imagine thank u Brother
You are so right on all points I’m glad someone is telling the young people what is what but I have a question how do convicts handle cops that comet murder.
Love your energy and intensity. Only been watching your videos for about a week now, and I'm glad you could turn your life around and help other to achieve the same. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤✌️
I've never experienced that spark of light you speak of with recovery. Getting clean is one thing. Staying clean seems fuckin impossible man. Ill get a year here, 18 months there but i can never manage it.
You are amazing for lasting that long, some people can’t even make it that far, just keep trying,don’t be to hard on yourself,You have come a long way, and l for 1 am proud of you.Don’t give up hang in there.Greetings from Australia.l hope you get to see that spark of light.
@@Northernlights65, This reply means a lot. I've been trying and trying and sometimes it seems no one notices the good I've done, but everyone gets on me for the bad I've always done. So thank you for that reply.
damn, he lived 36 months in the hole, thats atleast 3 years, just damn, ty for the amazing vid again bro, glad you enjoy staying positive, bro, much appreciated
@@JdDelay5150 it always will be treacherous, never been, hopefully wont ever, but never hurts to be educated in some ways just incase, love and respect to you for doing what ya do, bro, much appreciated as always
I have wanted to become a recovery coach for years now, after having spent more than half my life in active addiction, lost and in misery. I love what you're doing, and I'm inspired to pursue this dream.
Dude! Love your channel. Ran across ya by chance but first video in and I was hooked. Kinda an offbeat story suggestion but I worked in the amusement business for years and many of my coworkers were at one point con's. Wondered if you met any along the way and got any stories on em lmao it would be entertaining if you do.
Hey jd I just found your main channel from your UA-cam shorts and needless to say brother you've changed basically my whole way of thinking I hope you're doing well with recovery and I hope your day is going just as good if not better I love your stories and your right not everyone who goes to church is a wierdo but all wierdos go to church
Hey JD I just wanted to let you know I’m struggling rn with a lot in life including addiction. I’m 16 years old and have some mental issues and I’m on a dark road and I’m trying to get off before I can’t and I’m taking the first steps to getting help and I’m trying to get off of this road before it’s to late. I wanted to let you know that your videos and the things that you do really help me see that there is hope and it’s not to late. Thank you soo much and keep doing amazing work bro much love.
Your doing Soo MUCH better than MOST people triple your age by KNOWING YOU NEED TO CHANGE!!. YOUR GOOD SWEETHEART 👏. Keep us updated and we're here to help lighten the darkest times!. This is your story to write, Make IT ONE you'd be proud for your loved ones to talk ABOUT ❤️👍
Keep your head up bro. Trust me when I say the road gets darker than you can imagine if you keep letting addiction win brother. And it's always okay to ask for help. No shame in that at all my dude
Keep your head up Lil brother, your more of a man then most I know my age. Your on the right path working on getting clean. Remember God give his hardest battles to his toughest soldiers. You got this man
Much love for ya bro. Having problems right now. I'm an alcoholic and my wife has had enough. Trying to quit but dont know if I can. Fixing to lose the woman I love. Been together since 1996 and married since 1998.
You can do it bro....I was a drug addict for 25 yrs...now I'm 3yrs clean, and living happier than ever.... If you guys have been together that long man, she don't want to leave you... She just wants to be able to respect you again.... She wants you to respect yourself, enough to get yourself right....and you will brother, I got faith in you.....A woman needs a man who is in control of himself....no self control=no respect.......time to re-gain the throne bro....self control is EVERYTHING........STAY BLESSED!!
Man homie I did 12 1/2 In AZ I got clean with 11 months before I hit the street and I'm still clean today. I got out March 8th 2010 and you are right Prison sucks ass. Living the dream.
Bro i love the vid's. You talk real and facts. I grew up in Low income housing and drugs and crime were just natural. But like you said and i agree, i knew i was not built for prison. We all fight but i managed to never cross that final line. I knew i was not built for that life.
Not gonna lie most your vids bout drugs and crimes make a tear to my eye I relate so much it hurts I’m proud of you and anyone for recovery in my eyes it takes a real man to actually change life around for the better their family and for themselves
You're a straight DAWG!!!!! Never been to prison, because I got lucky and had my daughter before it was too late... She saved me. But I respect everything you stand for man. Solid ass dude.
Man I got out, and I can't get any work. Trying to do my assessments and classes, it's almost impossible. I really wanna give up, do you have any advice
One thing that is confusing to me is how other prison UA-camrs from cali say you have to join a gang but others say just do your time and keep to your self
Geez its that serious? I can understand being nervous to say on video but a comment thatll be buried soon? Good thing im a good boy I would get out and tell everyone all the names and places without a second thought.
So good too see I don't know you but I know plenty like you myself included I'm always happy when I see a con become an ex con well done.I haven't been arrested in over ten now it's good and its staying that way
Hey brother like what your doing.respect I'ma eighties behind the wall warrior once upon a time.ha ha.keep up the good work.yoir brother from another mother.
Young bucks a really eye opener here for ya'll if you have to go to prison. And man I luv your fcking energy about helping people to do better with themselves, it wants me to do better on some shit I'm still stuck on.... but hey one day at a time. Right
Great video man . I would like to buy a shirt but I can't afford it. I work but I live in my van. So everything I get I need it to live . But ur videos r cool as hell.
When I was in Sanchez unit, there was this one guy who did tattoos, to see if the needles were sharp enough he would poke himself before he did a tattoo on someone else, he had hep c.
You're brutally honest and funny as fuck...you rock JD ! Keep it up

Your energy it’s awesome ! 2 yrs sober from heroin over here ✌🏼 24years old raising a 2 yr old boy 💙. Keep it up my man !
Congratulations, my friend!
Poor dude. Talk about a train wreck of unfortunate choices. Thanks for sharing this!
That’s the thing youngsters don’t get. Once you make that choice to prospect, you’re pretty much locked in. There’s no clean exit.
Still a pothead but got clean from meth, coke, and pill 3 years ago and shits still rough to this day then I watch your videos and it's a good reminder to ignore the itch aswell as a really good story, I'm glad I found your channel man keep the content flowing
Good 1 G
good job keep it up man! nothing wrong with pot and can help in your case keep it up!
@user-bp5xp2vk7w it really does, especially after they diagnosed me with scitzophrenia and psychosis a few years back, it really helps mellow the bs out 🤣
Keep it up man. As a meth head that's been clean 9 years it'll get better. Trust me. One day at a time
@@calebethridge2404just came across this, you still doing alright ?
Not many old school people around anymore, love that your teaching old school. Most importantly NEVER snitch. Also so cool you’ve changed your life and have become a coach to others. Awesome!!!
Love you JD! I'm five years sober and I'm so done with the streets. I got my family back, I got my life back and it is incredible. Much love 💕

Sounds like that dude Johnny Mitchell that went to two rivers..if you need a good laugh check his channel out 🤣
Two Rivers in Oregon? I’ll check him out!
This is the only channel I keep notifications on
Not a question I usually ask myself but I'm happy I'm here for the answer.

This story sounds like a lot of drama. I just found you a week ago. I've been binge watching your videos.
Only recently discovered this channel, and I love it! Your energy reminds me of Wes Watson, but more positive. Ever think of a collab?
man this was the most depressing story I have ever heard
Man I got out, and I can't get any work. Trying to do my assessments and classes, it's almost impossible. I really wanna give up, do you have any advice
Never, never, never, GIVE UP!!!
Prison is the only environment where every molehill IS a mountain
One thing that is confusing to me is how other prison UA-camrs from cali say you have to join a gang but others say just do your time and keep to your self
Hey JD I love the videos and wish you all the best man!
Thanks for the content, appreciate you.
Love this homie, 100 percent
This one hit home. Can't talk about it yet though...

I thought being cliqued up was the only means of survival in prison.
That’s a common misconception that people put out there. It’s definitely not like that.
U funny, but true 👍 😂 in what you have been saying n expressing
JD's advice could apply to any Orgeon D.O.C.situation. Instead of trying to guess where and to whom it happened, absorb the point of this.
🎵Won't you be?🎵 🎵Won't you be?🎵 My neighbor?🎵 (as long as you're allowed to live within 1000 feet of a park or school...)🎵
JD-- is there any way we can listen to the music you created?
You are fucking awesome, JD.
Thank you!

Would like to hear more of your band stories
Young bucks a really eye opener here for ya'll if you have to go to prison. And man I luv your fcking energy about helping people to do better with themselves, it wants me to do better on some shit I'm still stuck on.... but hey one day at a time. Right

Cool stories and info. How does prison work in regards to ethnicities?
Great video man . I would like to buy a shirt but I can't afford it. I work but I live in my van. So everything I get I need it to live . But ur videos r cool as hell.
