Jail is without a doubt the hardest place to stay sober in. One wants to escape every living moment of it and drugs provide that much needed escape.
Indeed!
I liked his story really helps hearing someone be so open and recover from their mistakes.
Stories like these are both inspirational and yet can be a cautionary tale. At times addiction grips you so strong that it almost turns into instinct no matter what it is. It can be a phase but it can last a long time that it becomes a habit. To those who overcame it congrats. The best solution for me is do not try it ever.
True addiction is not a phase. It is rewiring of the brain that never goes away. You either are in recovery or an active addict.
I like the people who demonstrate that it is possible to stay sober in jail. Some have been sober in jail for many years.
I was basically a relapse king until January 11, 2015 when I finally got sober for good. When I’ got locked up for 10 months on January 11, 2015 I decided I was done with alcohol and drugs. While incarcerated I kept to myself and basically just thought about recovery. Read as many books as I could about recovery. I alsoGot my body back into shape. I basically use this time in jail as a launching board to start my life again. It’s been Almost 4 1/2 years since I was released. I’ve been going to regular AA meetings ever since and Changed everything in my life. Life is pretty good today. I can’t wait to be able to go to meetings again.
Congratulations day before my bday.
Allan Greenson great job man keep it up🤟🏼

Amazing story n I’ve never heard Cherry’s and berries before love it😂😂
Cherry´s story is worth listening to.
So bullying was the trigger
15:40 scary statement
17 was my year of the most drug usage. I tried weed and got high for my first time and found it fun so I did it again and again then I tried taking a break for a month but I have no will power so that didn't happen and eventually my brother started telling on me and my friends started telling my brother. With alcohol I loved getting drunk, I was doing it by myself even. I shoplifted liquor and wine multiple times and was drinking. My dad found out about me stealing and drinking and was often having a talk with me. I eventually laid off the alcohol when I was 18 and now-a-days whenever I see alcohol I don't get very tempted to wanna drink it. But, I still have a problem with weed, not as bad as when I was 17 but I'm still smoking every week or almost every week. There were really only two times where I went sober for over 3 weeks, the rest of the time it was only a few days to 2 weeks
if you're just smoking weed during the week, I wouldn't say that's out of control by any means. unless of course you're in a position where it's absolutely controlling your life, i wouldn't assume you're in a bad spot. keep your chin up!
You’re basically a normal teenager LOL. Trust me man, some light alcoholism and being a stoner is way too many teens right now. Please feel blessed you didn’t fall into the trap of the hard drug lifestyle especially when you were young. It leads to nothing except regrets
@@TheBootyWrangler True man 👌
Hi Nick, Thank you for share your story, every day we can be a better person, keep going!
Stay clean and don't take a pain pill if you don't have to, my simple advice
Do any of you folks know the name of the instrumental music they use in these videos? Thanks
I don’t know if people like this deserve infinite chances. When you consider the people he has hurt and the lives he has affected for good, eg the mothers of his children. Can’t help but hope he just keeps himself sober and to himself these days.
Hey, we are happy to have you here🤩, We´ll love to
have you in our Facebook page where we are posting nice quotes. Follow us : facebook.com/detoxtorehab
The people among whom we share our thoughts are the source of upliftment or depreciation in life if we are not aware. So, we should choose our company or friend circle properly.
Indeed! all boils down to support system (family and friends) and upbringing.
Prison isn’t that bad husband said ex husband he’s drinking hooch workin out but he can’t get meth like the streets 😢 you are very smart and great looking man. Very happy for you
They also say....Don't Leave until the Magic Happens
Exctly!
No new videos? This was from a year ago. Where you guys been?!
Because the COVID-19 We took a break, We hope to have new videos soon.
My friend got hook on meth in prison,had never done before
I have never heard someone say cherries and berries. 😆
Sounds funny right? 😆
Are you dead you dont post anymore
He sounds hilarious 😂 and
Sorry to say but I don’t think you had a good life or a good childhood because by the way you express yourself and actions you have a Lot of hate pain inside of you childhood trauma makes a person take the path of substance abuse in the traits that you have I hope you’re doing good !!!
You guys make weed look soooo bad it hasn’t killed one person EVER alcohol kills 6 people a day you guys need a restart your whole life
Dont be this guy who had everything given to them and decided to be a failure drug addict smh
You obviously have no idea what it is to struggle with inner demons. You don't choose to be addicted to drugs. You try to self medicate with something that makes you able to function everyday and feel better then you fall into a dark pit known as addiction. We do it to ourselves, true, but does that mean we don't deserve help? Does that make us bad characters?
Giving credit to God instead of all the actual people who tried to help you .... SMH
