He’s a totally new person. People struggle. there’s no reason to judge him.

fuck the way he looked up when the dude said 'pharmacy' sent chills down my spine as a recovering addict. like it's a little thing but it really says something, that when you're using and using as heavily as Brandon was, your existence is literally nothing but drugs. wake up, figure out how you're gonna get high, scrape up some money, go get the dope and hope it's gonna be legit and hope it'll be enough to get you through the hour-day-whatever, then you wake up the next day, realize you're out of dope and your spikes are too dull to use, and your'e back at it again until you overdose, or the people who care about you find out and send you to rehab, or your ass gets cuffed and put in the cop car and you're in jail. it's all the same. the same thing over and over again, until that lightbulb clicks on in your head from whatever makes you see the light. best of luck Novak hope you're doing well man.

Heroin killed my dad 10 years ago, I was only 10 years old. Glad to see one of my childhood idols in recovery. Stay strong Novak.

He's sober and kicking ass. He's come so far. One day at a time

Exactly what my brother was like 5 hours before he overdosed and died. Overdosed 6 times before it finally got him. Hopefully hes showing this to turn people off because watching my bro like this was one of the worst things ive ever seen in my life. Keep fighting Novak.

His story helped me recover. He is a legend this man!

I was expecting Bam to fly kick Novak on the head or something like that, then i realised Novak was high as a kite

Seeing how much you've grown and prospered since then is amazing Novak! Huge inspo man keep inspiring others

This is shortly after having the ultimate pleasure of working at the rehab where Brandon began his recovery. Brandon is a blessed man and I am so happy he is doing so well. It only goes UP from here :D

I fucking love you, Novak. One of my greatest inspirations and influences of all time... Now I've grown up as well. Now I'm also a heroin addict. Now I'm also homeless with nothing to show but what I've already lost. What I do have though is the inspiration you have further instilled in me once again - this time with your recovery and your attitude towards it. It's scary to see how much this looks exactly like me... How familiar this looks. I can fucking FEEL the nod while watching you lmao Tomorrow I finally sign the papers. I'm going to rehab.

You people realize this is from 2014. He's better now.

I was this way once, after the death of three friends (including my best friend) and my cousin. Talking shit doesn't help people who self-medicate, as most have severe mental health problems that are not being properly treated in the first place. It makes me really sad when people shame addicts and the mentally ill. It's sickening. I wouldn't wish this level of agony on my worst enemy.

God I am so happy to know you are doing amazing now and healthier then ever❤ We love you Novak and thank you for all the motivational talks you give others help them get sober. I seen a girl say u actually called her friend personally when they needed a rehab. You went above and beyond you got her in a rehab and called her yourself💗

You can tell he’s slurring and just so uninterested in everything except drugs in that moment. Until he mentions the pharmacy then he looked right up and started speaking clearly. Man so sad

And now hes been sober for 3 years now.

it reminds me of my ex boyfriend. whenever he would use he’d do the same thing with his mouth when he was faded and would come to, talk just like that. i’m so happy brandon is in a better place now

I respect the man he is today. We all have our dark moments but most of our loved ones wouldn't exploit us like this

Shit man you've come a long way. Much love and respect to you from the UK brother x

I appreciate the transparency and honesty in this.

The future is crazy. When you can watch this, and then watch what he became today, right after. Never count anyone out.

Thank you for sharing these videos!! It takes a lot of courage Brandon. I work at treatment center with 200 beds. I show you documentary to them on a regular basis. It is powerful and does help the men we treat to see the reality of addiction and the consequences. I think you are an inspiration to others suffering from the disease of addiction. People do not realize it is a disease that has to be continually treated to stay in remission.

Seeing this is like looking back in time a year for me. Been sober 6 months and doing great now but damn this is...well sobering

“Where are you mate?” Where I never want to be ever again

When he smashes that dud lighter! Ahaha! Story of my life

Seeing this is sad reminder of what my best friend is going through. He's addicted to heroin and has been in and out of rehab for last few years. He is actually one of the most deadliest, solid dudes out there and I've tried so hard to get him sober but he's in a rut and is homeless at the moment. I, myself have been sober of booze and drugs for 6 years. I hope he finds the light and gets out of the whole he's in. Would hate to see him die.

Relapse really messes you up too… you feel extra shitty… and guilt keeps you high more than any other emotion….

This shit is sad. I'm glad to see his doing ok now. You got this Novak

god this is disturbing

Good to see your doing WAAAAAAAAY better than this these days. You and Steve O are great examples of how people can turn around no matter how far it seems they've gone. Keep on fighting the good fight, hope your buddy Bam can follow in your footsteps.

Good lord... so hard to watch you like this Brandon. I'm more than happy u r doin so good nowadays👍 as always, i keep u in my prayers 🙏

Wow, what an amazing turnaround this dudes made 💪🏼😎

Love your honesty my bro.

That dang morphine is no joke. I'm tremendously happy to see how long way you've came! From a stranger to another I am dang proud of you my brother!

when you see what you used to be it makes today even brighter.

Damn it: this popped up and it triggered my hurt from my husbands relapse from a work injury that shattered his elbow. Bones all messed up and needed a plate. It returned 2 years of walking through the fire and praying we’d make it out again.

Yeah you guys played In Wilmington NC and we all partied afterwards and from the looks of this just 20 minutes outside Wilmington NC is where I’m from Brunswick county and this looks like the hospital. We had a blast that day and night I didn’t know that this happened but that was one thing I never got into luckily. Just glad to see you’re doing GREAT my friend keep up the amazing work and hope to see you again one day

Damn i forgot what this looks like been clean over 6 years now.

I’m so fucking relieved and happy that he’s sober now and doing a million times better.

I miss that feeling!

Dude, this is crazy to watch!

Looks real fun.

I miss being that high... Sobriety is rough.

when the dude asks novak where he want to go to no response...thats one of the good things about nodding out. that dude could have rolled novak to an alley next to a dumpster and he wouldnt have cared.

This is EXACTLY how my mom was when I was growing up. She was and addict for 20+ years and overdosed and passed away 2 years ago right in front of me. I was 2 years clean myself at that point but I relapsed for about 7 months, but now I have been clean again for a year and a half but it's a struggle everyday. Good luck novak!

Novak would be historical if he had a wicked mumbled British accent. Especially if he was loaded like this

The way his eyes light up when the dude mentions pharmacy

I love how nic is not considered a drug

That's the St. John's ER in Camarillo I think. I've been there.

Finally he made it!

He was in my hometown of Jacksonville nc in this video.. onslow memorial hospital. Sucks but hes better now.

I think it’s funny how everyone has bad shit to say about him or act like it’s such a bad thing to see but u say oh walking drug or oh you hear when he said pharmacy omg well if you were so concerned or cared you would realize that he’s clean and a huge inspiration to people he helps everyone and anyone he can he literally is one of the only people in a position of “fame” who clearly puts his number on instagram for anyone who may need help to see and when you call him he actually helps you get help weather it’s pointing you in the direction of the help or literally doing it for you if all you care about is talking down on him just go somewhere else and watch a diff video because really this Is not a “sad” story it’s a inspirational story for where he has made it today so many people could learn a thing or two from this guy

Legend…. I know this isn’t funny at all but the homie came to life when he heard “pharmacy”

From seeing this to where he is now is a 360 I’m so excited to see his progress as a human being. He is such an inspiration and will be an amazing advocate to those struggling

I remember those days and it still feels like yesterday. It's been over 10 maybe 12 now. The shame is still strong too. I'm on the suboxone program and down to taking one strip. I started with three 8mg. I feel trapped because I have legit injuries from being a paratrooper in the ARMY. Physical injuries plus addiction is the sharpest of the double edged sword. I am grateful for suboxone it made it so I have control back in life and I'm not a mess drooling on myself or afraid everday if I cant score some pills. God bless everyone and never give up.

10 years of sobriety! we're happy for you Novak!

This breaks my heart

Shit made me wanna cry fr . Hope anyone battling addiction makes it thru to the light. ain’t no darker place man

Ah, the good ol’ days of being loaded. 👌🏼

This is one of the times we met Novak this is at our old hospital in Brunswick county NC. I’m positive this was a day or two after we had met the first time

Who's the Aussie?

He woke right the fuck up when he said pharmacy

Ozzy Osbourne, man. So glad you came around. Keep spreading the message. Its never too late people.

Brandon is so much better now. Props to him.

Addiction sucks ppl!! I lost my husband he was like beyond this for 7+yrs thanx to greedy ass Drs who saw his fat insurance being a fat paycheck... He only got sober when death called... My 68 year old dad a methadone addict same shit drs had him on 11 a day...My uncle was so depressed he once ate an entire bottle of sleeping pills like they were candy...not to die but to kill his hurt... This is a pure hell they checked out I'm now left with nothing...in my state you can't force rehab...i told the Drs who were writing the legal dope which is more addictive they did nothing but ban me from their offices! Street dope ain't shit the pure stuff ten fold....now I struggle with loss & the pain nvr goes away...its literally watching the train wreck happen over & over... addicts kill not only themselves but the ones that love them.... True Story...the best advocates are the victims my heart has a 4ever hole in it....

finally his tattoo on his stomach makes sense. stay this way, brother! loved the Steve-O podcast! looking damn good, bro!

Tbh I used heroin for 8 years and I was never in that state.. I was a functional addict made me feel normal after the "fun" stage

He got off of that dope for a minute but soon as he took that hit he was blown away on that whole nother level and you can tell that he was tore up because his immunity to it was gone after being off of it for a while...

He is literally outside of an emergency room lol I mean everybody's fucked up usually when they come out of there lol

I’m so glad you beat this Brandon. I remember you on Jackass etc. I watched Wild Ride with Steve O and man you suit being sober so much better. Love from the uk 🇬🇧

I feel you... 🖤

This dude is ripped... Fuck those days. I’m Free of drugs an never goin back

Love seeing Brandon clean and healthy today.

Stay good and positive

Nodding so hard and then he hears pharmacy, “YEAH”...back to nodding.

It’s almost like he’s Keith Richards

Those hospital nods be hitting doh

a broken man 4 years ago...

be feelin great in that clip

he got an award from the DEA

were now pharmacy? YEAH!!!

Let me make this clear. It is FAR better to be depressed and struggle with your demons and work it out yourself than to "self medicate". Self medication hides the problem, it doesn't fix shit. I self medicated with alcohol for a bit. It never got too out of hand though. But after two FULL years of depression and by the time I was really starting to lose hope I'm 80% better. I fought the good fight. It isn't easy and may take a long time but going inwards is the only way to really fix anything.

you know who your real friends are when your down

Man i cant believe I use to be this fucked up

More footage please! Do daily vlogs!

He looks fly as hell tho.

Looks fun

Random but are those Hosoi Sk8 hi's?

Why filming? Just sad, glad Novak is clean now👏👏

Hell yea, on that good shit

Is the guy talking Alex Flamsteed?

So scary. I hope he stays sober. He looks awesome now.

1:20 it's Ozzy!

I’m so sorry that you had to see the credulous side of addiction

Idk why so many people on "H" and pain meds always acts like a zombie? For me that isht was like speed and had me zooming like a base head.

When he said want to go to the pharmacy you seen him pep up a little bit.... Like when you have a dog and you say treat

Man that's sad, at the end of the vid you can see where blood ran down his right arm and was all over his hand. Don't know if it was from shooting or IV but still disturbing none the less. I know he's clean now and hope he stays that way, if not show him this.

That sign of life when he hears pharmacy 🤣

how are you today?

Damn, stoned to the BONE

its great that someone cares about this dude . i need someone . anyone to care
