      Hey bro tell Danny not to drink to much water he can get hyponatremia also known as water intoxication is a rare medical condition but it's possible if you drink to much water. If does have to drink that much water make sure that he gets sodium in his body also known as salt. Notice drinking water is good for your body but drinking to much is bad for your brain. Small amounts of salt

      You can see it in his eyes in the first second, before he opens his mouth. Working a straight job and working your ass off is amazing to stay straight, because by the end of the day you are so fucking tired from roofing you don't have the energy to go do something stupid. Do one week, and one month is easy. Do one month, and one year is easy. Do one year, no reason you can't do 10.
      Best of luck Danny, keep your head straight, you got this!
      And Joe, you should consider creating a non profit proper charity operation to expand this to help more ex-cons. Just make it conditional that people you help have to help someone else down the road in the contract. This way you will also be able to apply for grants and funding from state and federal government. The work you're doing may look amateur hour from the outside, but you're really making a difference man.

    Hang in there with the quit smoking. My late wife of 46 years just couldn't quit and cancer took her life. While in the Army for twenty years I was drinking quite a bit. I was an officer, so I attended many events where drinking was the thing. A salute to the president, then a salute to so and so, and then I think we even saluted the guys that carried the trash out. On day I decided I had enough, and asked my wife to quit smoking, and I would quit drinking. Her immediate reaction was, you got a deal. Then after a few minutes she said, wait a minute you would quit just to deprive me of something I like. I quit that day and never had another drink and that was 44 years ago. My dad was an alcoholic and his drinking cost us kids a childhood. The state came in a took us for 9 years, until I had enough and joined the US Army for twenty years. Please try and quit and it will save your life and the people that care about you will help. I enjoy your videos, even though I was also a CO at a prison in CA, a CO at a county jail, then a police officer for eleven more years so I have seen it all. Take care ..Ken in CA.

I'm rooting for you man. You can tell his view on things are changing. He is starting to smile which he never really did in the first 3 episodes. He is joking around, it's like his spirit is reigniting. It just goes to show that hard work and persistence pays off. He had his goals and slowly one by one he is checking them off.

Thank you guys for helping me through hard times and addiction and great job all on helping this man onto his feet. Its ultimately up to him to walk then run, but, he's been given a tabula rasa! I say it again: Best of luck, Danny! And if you ever get into the position, remember to pay this forward! Imagine if we all could just reach out and help people like Joe..

He once was where Danny is now and I think that’s something we should all instill in Danny and just show him there is hope given the right attitude and so fourth. Joe your a great dude u are helping folks out here when no one else would they just give up on folks almost like veterans in a way after they come back they aren’t treated as they should be, your giving people who really wanna do better a voice and also the opportunity to do so and that my friend is life changing for them as well as yourself in the process.
