Aaron hurts my heart. He has had to deal with too much abuse and trauma in his 26 years, but still seems he could have a fulfilling,healthy and happy life one day. I hope he gets the serious and long-term help he needs for his drug addiction and mental health issues. I pray he reunites with his sister. He desperately needs to have a loving relationship with what family he has.

Honesty is hard to come by in many of these stories…but this guy seems so ready to confront his stuff. My heart breaks for the little boy in him.

"There's a lot more to life than me and my pain" wow. I like you, Aaron, I'm rooting for you.

What an intriguing young man. Seems to be very much in touch with himself. I hope he can get strong and pull through.

Aaron you put it so perfectly; the snowball scenario of avoiding problems and filling the void with drugs. You’re strong and there’s still light in your eyes; you can beat this cycle. Your life was too hard for it to end up here; you’ve come through so much. Sending you love, manifest Australia. You’ll get there 💕

I want to hug this man so badly. He’s going to go on to do amazing things.

Very emotional interview. Very smart young man. Praying that Aaron have the strength to beat this.

Aaron, you are so intelligent. Despite your situation and the horrible cards you’ve been dealt you haven’t lost your light. You can beat this. You’ll make a wonderful doctor one day. You now have thousands of people rooting for you. ❤️ Mark- congratulations on 4million subscribers! Thank you for doing what you do and giving all of these people a voice.

Hi Aaron, If you see this, I hope you believe you are worth accepting help that is offered to you, you are worth asking for help. I hope you take the hand that reaches out for you. You're definitely strong enough to conquer addiction, work on building skills to construct the life you want. The life you've been living takes a hell of a lot of strength. Please take the chance on yourself.

This one really resonated with me. He’s so pragmatic and composed despite his trauma. A lot of people with his background would probably be way worse off. Makes me really feel like he has a shot at getting out. Wishing the best Aaron, good luck out there.

Omg I saw Aaron in California a long time ago and I still remember his face, He was a beautiful man then and beautiful now, You'll get through this Aaron, from one recovering alcoholic and druggie to another, I love you💙💙🤞🏻

Congratulations Mark on 4 million and thank you for sharing the journey with us

He really elevates a conversation. Hope someday he's able to help others to help lift himself out of his current predicament.

When Aaron said that he wants to be a doctor, and Mark showed the still of this photo - I could literally see the future version of him as a doctor, and I could sense all the other thousands of people watching this video, hearing Aaron say - "I want to be a doctor!", each one of those thousands also seeing the still of his photo in its future version as his professional bio picture for the psychologist or psychiatrist directory of some hospital. Take that in Aaron! We see you!!

Abuse and the foster system takes another victim. There has got to be some way to address the foster system at least.

He has a beautiful heart and soul. I hope he gets the help he's craving for, and he gets the chance that he never had. He seems like a good candidate at really getting out of this life and starting a new.

What a guy. Strong as hell, and smart. Pulling for him.

Aaron you’re so intelligent, sensitive and aware. You can do this. All you need is a bit of help ! Trust yourself. You have a purpose in this world🙏❤ Sending you love ❤️

No child should ever have to experience anything like this man. Anyone who hurts children or animals have a first class ticket waiting for them when they die to bring them straight to Hell where they'll rot for eternity. I'm so sorry this happened to you. Don't ever stop trying in life.

I was 27 b4 I got my shit together. It's definitely not too late to change, and what you said about not being comfortable with yourself is a first step. Crack and meth are not as hard to come off of than opiates. Focus on yourself and work towards getting a life started for yourself. Good luck

When he talks about how bad opiates are it shines light on just how deep into addiction he is. He's trying to make his own addiction to meth seem less of a problem in his head. Get well my man.

Come Aaron. YOU GOT THIS !!! You deserve so much more for yourself - so give it to yourself. So much love to you❤

Aaron, you broke my heart. You were dealt a shitty hand but you're intelligent, self aware and could bring such goodness to others. Get clean and live the life you deserve. I hope his sister sees this and reaches out

Love all your documentaries!! Thank you for remembering the forgotten ones. ❤️

I'm only 7 mins in and can see this guy is smart and capable of a lot. What a sad childhood. Every child should be loved and cherished. Mark, thank you for revealing the lives and spirits of these precious people!

This freaking breaks my heart!!! My husband was addicted to meth and has been clean for three years. I never thought it was possible. I hope he gets the help he needs.

2 minutes in and I can already see how articulate he is. He has so much potential.

My heart 💔 breaks for this guy .

As someone who struggles with alcohol addiction I’ve come to realize us addicts have a general discomfort with ourselves that we are trying to escape but running from pain only creates more pain. Its sad. So so sad and there’s comfort in the sadness, unfortunately. Love from within is where it starts to get better

Mark I think you are amazing! You really give folks opportunities to talk about their lives! You can tell they do not talk with anyone about their issues. Talking about the issues is most of the healing process. Thank you for listening and asking the right questions at right time. You are so gifted. God bless you. Sending many blessings for you and your interviewees.

Smart, likable, articulate guy. I wish him the best❤

Who tf adopts a kid just to abuse them? Really messed up people out there

Very good interview, bright and very self aware, I sure do hope you can find your way back to a sober and normal life without drugs, Aaron💜🙌

Sweet boy. My heart breaks for you. You've overcome so much though. Don't loose hope.

He has such a beautiful personality and he’s so humble. I genuinely hope that he can soon get the help that he needs and get over this addiction

I watch this program religiously and this homie right here seems like a real good candidate to get help. He sounds like me when I got clean! Wish you the best dog!!😋

This guy is speaking from the soul. I hope he can get and stay clean. More importantly, heal. He has the right mind set and the right tools. He can do this 💚 He has an amazing future ahead of him

What a great interview- Aaron is very insightful and articulate. I hope he finds peace and fulfils his dreams.

Human beings are so complex. Each and every person is unique. 2 children can grow up in the same environment and they are 2 different humans. This channel is fantastic!

Much love to you Aaron. You can do it, you can change your life, beat this. You have a lot of insight and self awareness. I'm rooting for you. I hope Mark does an update on you

*So called normal people are so quick to judge addicts. What they don't see is the invisible scars they carry around that they're just trying to mend by using. It was a heroin addict close to 15 years & now have nearly 7 years clean. It took me a VERY long time to realize that continuing to use was just causing the problem to fester & that I wouldn't heal until I put real work in on myself. My life is pretty magnificent today. If I had one wish it would be for all addicts to experience freedom from addiction*

What a sweet man weighed down by addiction. Love and light to you. God bless you on your journey to recovery.

This guy is amazing. Being able to change your mood through meditation, especially with a childhood like his, is not easy. Get off the drugs Aaron, great things await you after you get clean

So sad that he has had no love and care in his life. 26 , he needs a break. I hope he get to rehab and another chance of making a life for himself and start respecting himself wishing you well Aaron 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

Aaron should be a philosopher. I felt he was so aware and in the know to whom he truly is and how this life has shaped him, and to give that perspective to others is such a gift. He’s made me think a lot today after listening to him speak about his life and lessons he’s been through. Thanks for being here, the world is indeed a better place with you in it! I hope he gets the help needed to be the person who’s souls purpose is to help others. I’ve seen a lot of Marks videos, and everyone he’s shared has such an incredible life stories, but this was a little extra special.

Damn, i love this guy. There is so much potential for his future. Aaron is already helping people/the world, wish he could know that..

Aaron strikes me as a person we all want to see make good! He's bright, insightful, and has deep thoughts of hope! I hope we see more about Aaron and that he makes it !!

Aaron, we see the beautiful soul that you are and you can do this!! Absolutely!! I pray you get help soon, you didn't deserve the upbringing you had, these so called parents send these kids onto a nightmare path and should be prosecuted!! Unfortunately, his mom is no longer, but I can see Aaron getting therapy and being Great in this world 💯💙💛

him not knowing that wasnt how mothers treated their kids is so sooo sad. He really just needed a stable home and love, I feel it would have made a world of difference. Best of luck to you :)

What a horrible upbringing turned into a beautiful & insightful mind. I look forward to a 2nd interview when Aaron conquers his dreams! And he will!

My heart bleeds for this dude. F, I really hope the best for him. He seems honest. I can see the person inside... 🖤✌ I've been there man, got the torn t-shirt. A recovering addict myself. Much love to every body who reads and watches this

I genuinely like this guy. I pray he finds a better, healthier way to live life. I believe he has potential. Best of luck.

Such a wise, sweet man he is !! I wish him all the best !!

Mark, how do you live with these horrible stories encountering such broken people? It must takes its toll, prayers for you and thank you for giving them dignity and a voicem

Aaron - if you see this, you WILL be a PhD! You have it in you! You are so wise and articulate. I know you can do this! We are behind you 100% and will help in any way possible. Thank you for your honesty. I am so sorry you have been through so much in your life. “Why are you always drawn to the broken ones?” He asked. “We are all a little broken.” She replied. “I am drawn to the ones who are honest about it.” ― Laura Monnett

I feel this I was an addict for 3yrs its so sad I jus hope he gets him the help he needs because he's so articulate an intelligent an maybe could change someone else's life 😔 🙏 💔

I’d tell this guy to pls reach out to his sister. Because if they really care about each other it will motivate him I think to make progress and get his life together.

“The more I don’t handle the things I need to handle, the stronger the urge becomes” I relate to this and his story so much. Praying that Aaron finds true freedom and healing, he so deserves it.

This channel has helped me see the nuances in people and their intelligence and life choices. Life isn’t fair and I hope one day we can fix these deep rooted problems that break the futures of people who are capable of so much more.

Hey Aaron You spoke on the powers of manifestations well, then you're aware of ask, believe,receive. You have the power to change it. Wishing you the best. ❤

Poor guy Aaron is a creature of circumstances. I hope you get sober and find your way!! Sending you healing love energy 💘💘 Aaron and many blessings. Just know you deserve it and on bad days look for the smallest blessing they are all around. Big heart felt hugs!!!

Aaron you are so smart, aware and know exactly what you were put on this earth to do... help others. I hope yuyou ralize your worth. You were dealt a shit hand in life but you can come out on the otherside of this life style. I can see you being sober, an amazing councilor with a happy wife and kids when your older. Hope you find your way. YOU ARE AMAZING I feel the same struggle when I put things off and they just snow ball and we dont wana deal with it even more, and go get high. You can break the cycle tho best of luck

I see hope here. Aaron...you are more than any mess you have made...you are more than any problems you have created. You are so much more. Do what you gotta do....

You are doing god's work... This kid will snap out of it, I'm VERY confident of that because he just wants it to badly... that is KEY. I hope you follow up when he is better. I KNOW he will be.

Aaron has so much self awareness and understanding of others, it is a gift. I hope one day he can get clean. 🙏

Ive seen so many ppl on this channel and very few have giving me "hope" for a lack of a better word, You got this AARON 🙌

Aaron is a great candidate for support 💕

This guy is very important to understand addiction in general He wants to get out so much! My alcoholism treats me the same way! I wake up with bruises because I hit myself. I’m a kind soul and require guidance/ help. The whole system is fucked!

Can we get this man some help??? I think he's ready. Aaron, if you read this....get into a NA meeting asap... You will be around people that can help.

“until i have my life together, i try to just stay out of hers” unfortunately this is so so common of a feeling amongst addicts and it breaks my heart. they feel like a burden, even to the the people whom they should feel the most comfortable going to 😔

He has SO MUCH WISDOM to share with the world. I really really enjoyed listening to his story. I truly hope he gets his life in the order he wants it in and makes a way to be in his sister's life!!

Man are you smart and in so many respects. You deserved waaaaaay better in life and to be loved without any stipulations or conditions because you’re worth it. I’m sorry for the suffering you were made to endure and likely continue to experience today. The fact that a foster kid is removed from an abusive situation only to be placed into one is beyond me and shame shame shame on those that partake in it and the system that is responsible for failing so many children. Call your sister my friend I am certain she loves you and will be proud of you no matter what…she’d probably welcome you with open arms. I have a similar situation w a younger and estranged brother who lives in another country (where we are originally from). I wish he would lean on me alcoholic or not. He tells me he will come see me when he’s better but I fear that day will never come so I encourage him to come to me exactly as he is because I love him no less. I too am flawed and imperfect. Don’t let shame and pride stop you. You’ve been hurt and didn’t cause this…you sought something that would help ease the pain. It makes sense to want to feel better. Don’t dwell on that. People don’t speak enough about the fact that we seek things that make emotional pain more bearable and drugs in this case make you feel better. It’s ok and doesn’t define you or your worth. Seek and accept help, learn to trust others and lean on them, you are not a burden. It’s a long hard road but somehow imo you have to come to believe the neglected little boy in you deserves to be loved and like it or not you are the one that will have to provide it to him. You will accomplish anything you put your mind to as long as you believe you are worth it. Love infinity to you kiddo ❤️❤️❤️

Wishing you all the best Aaron. Thank you for sharing.❤

Mark, You were able to get help for Amanda and I wasn't sure she could be helped she was so far gone, I loved her and it hurt that her life ended when it was just beginning really, RIP Amanda Many of us will never forget you. Can you find help for Aaron? Offer him a long term rehab program and upon completion get him a ticket to Australia and a connection for ongoing out patient rehab there and possibly assist him with college tuition? He is worthy, he needs help. I know you can't save all you meet but I think Aaron is ready to change his life. Help him find his way to a better life, please.

I've watched many of your videos now and a lot of the people are very intelligent good hearted folks and it shows this could happen to anyone. Keep up the good work. To the gentleman in this video you are worthy and you can make it out. Trust yourself you're stronger than your past or addiction.

Why do SO MANY people abuse kids?! It's a fucking epidemic!!

There is something about Aaron. Wise, honest and kind. Thank you for sharing your story so well 🙏 hope you find your way out ❤ you can

Praying for you Aaron. Your so young and life is just starting. You seem like a very likable person. You need to want to get clean and be strong and you can do it! Life is worth trying 🙏

Aaron broke my heart. I hope and pray he gets help soon. Please follow up with him.

Aaron Your story break's my heart. You are still young You can just tell you are an awesome man. You are smart your caring and you have desires and dreams. You have made it thru so much and you can set your mind to getting that detox you so badly want It won't be easy but oh my so worth it .Then you can make your dreams come true and have a great life. I believe in you . Hopefully you can end up being in your sisters life and being a great uncle . Nothing but positive vibes set your way guy .

Addiction can sneak up on anybody. It can be anything, food, soda pop, gambling, drugs, alcohol… AND we can also conquer anything! The path to recovery is respect and love for your self. ❤

GREAT INTERVIEW

He has so much potential and so much pain....😢

I have so much hope for this young man. Prayers for you! You're my youngest sons age, I encourage you to help yourself so you can help others. You have a lot to offer this world.

I hope he really means it when he says he wants to go to rehab. Marc will totally help him if he whole heartedly wants this help.

Bless his heart. I hope he gets to complete his healing journey with more ease, joy and glory. And, manifests his dreams.

What a beautiful, sweet young man. I wish i could take care and support him. His clarity and intelligence is amazing given his childhood. Imagine what he could accomplish. I hope he gets the support he needs, and someone invests in him. What a great husband and father he will make.

Love u Aaron! ❤ You're strong, I can just feel it! I prayed 4 u. 🙏

He is young and smart. God has big things in store for you hun if only you will reach out and surrender your addiction. My prayers are with you.

Good luck Aaron ❤️ you seem to have the right idea and you definitely deserve a chance at happiness. I think you’re Lovely and I hope you find some peace 🤞✌️❤️

Bless him, i really feel for him. I wish i could send him some money or something. This guy seems so genuine and kind, he just took the wrong path.

Very smart and intelligent. He speaks so eloquently, it’s such a rare thing to see in society today. I’m praying for you Aaron.

Please help him! ❤️ Thank you for sharing.

Oh man I hope he puts down the pipe and finds the psilocybin in his life. You can’t heal properly on meth…ever. I hope his recovery journey comes soon x

Love to this man. So heart wrenching

I can’t watch all this… sending you a huge hug. 💜

So much pain and suffering. Sending love and strength your way ❤️❤️❤️

Very well spoken young man…Very intelligent. Seems to know what is holding him back… I really think this guy would benefit from someone taking the time and energy to help him properly….I think he would excel and be the exception to the rule of repeating the cycle…..

Aaron I send love and compassion to you- Please don't give up on YOU 😊💞🙏🙏🙏

Aaron you can do this. We believe in you. One step at a time. One day at a time!! 💜
