Wow Dan. This one really hits home for me. Except I am your brother Ryan in this situation and my younger brother of 4 years is you. Hearing this from the perspective of a younger brother broke my heart. I also have substance abuse issues, I’ve been clean for about 3 months this time and I just don’t know how to reach out to my brother to say sorry. I would love to have a relationship again, we were so close when we were younger. I’m 28 and I haven’t heard my brother say more than a few words to me in probably 10 years. I don’t want to be overbearing, after all I understand it’s up to him if he wants a relationship with me or not. Thanks for posting this and being vulnerable Dan. It’s given me a lot to think about… if I have one question to you it would be: When your brother was in active addiction and you guys weren’t on the best terms. Would a text message, phone call or letter have even meant anything to you at that point in time? Peace and Love Dan! ☮️💜

hey man i'm 8 years sober and i had to go thru the same shit with my little brother. just stay sober and keep making positive change in your life and your relationships will return as people see you evolve and hear about how much better of a person you are from others in your circle. it'll get hard some days, and seem easy other days, but if you keep one simple rule your life will fall in order eventually. that rule is just to stay sober. 8 years ago my family wouldn't talk to me and didn't trust me, barely even cared if i lived. 8 years later i have every single relationship i wanted out of my family, and i've excluded the ones i don't. my life ain't perfect, i'm rarely "happy" and i'm financially dead in the water but i promise you what i have right now is infinitely better than what i'd have right now if i didn't get and stay sober, if i'd even have lasted another month. just stay on the path, don't worry about everything else cause the people you love want to be able to love you, you just have to give them a chance to. edit: one more rule... don't get too attached to your friends in sobriety. 1/100 people in an AA/NA room stay sober 5 years by my personal statistics. either you will die to your addiction or they will, but the people you start with WILL NOT BE AROUND AT THE END. in 8 years every single friend i've made has died to fentanyl. 7 exceptionally close friends. had i followed them down their paths i would be dead too. had i tried to save them before myself i would be dead too. had i done anything but let them die to their addiction it would be me that was the 99% instead of them. addiction is a war and no one gets to go home in one piece. save yourself.

me too. last night i flipped out bad. but in a way was a matter of time. was trying to explain to my partner who was saying all the wrong things atm. he was born rich, nice family, given a porche at 16, college, etc. and there is something he wont do. that could save his life. because taking one pill a day is not what men do. i have an illness where i need 20. i just felt so insulted. and raged. but the raging needed to happen. and like, everyone has their breaking points.

Definitely relatable. My brother passed away a few years ago due to fentanyl overdose where he thought he was getting something else. He also got me into skateboarding. He was almost five years older than me, and that happened 3 years ago. So I will be going through some of those same thoughts about being older than him. His birthday just passed this month. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us and letting us see another side of you. I'm personally grateful because I know that I'm not alone with those emotions, thoughts and feelings that you experience and shared with us.

This hits really hard for me. I’ve lost a lot of friends to overdose and suicide. There are songs about it on our page. I relate to you talking about being as old as your brother. I’m turning 42 soon and that’s how old my dad was when he blew out his brains. I was 16. It turned my world upside down. I ended up in juvenile hall that day and the following two weeks because nobody came to pick me up from school. After that I was in 6 group homes over the next two years. I feel like we’re old friends Dan. I watch your videos every day. I know you don’t know me at all, but just know that a lot of people care about you a whole lot. Much love and respect Dan.

Hey Dan, sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my father at age 15, and my wife at age 22, as well as several others. Loss always hurts but time will make it less. It's going to suck in the short term though. Skateboarding is a great outlet for grief.

Really appreciate this video, just wanna ~relate~ to it and don’t worry about responding… btw I’m the guy who responded to your IG story saying I traded my skate hobby for a bonsai hobby lol I still skate here and there but I’ve gotten much more into plants/bonsai this past year. So long story short I lost my Dad last year. Came outta nowhere. Not long before he passed he mentioned bonsai to me and that he though I would like it, and I eventually did get into it, and it hurts not being able to share it with him. His passing hurts in many of indescribable ways, I’m sure similarly to you with your brother. Losing a family member just hurts differently… I just wanna say I hope you find the opportunities to let your emotions out/cry/let yourself really absorb the loss, no matter how long it takes you. The first couple weeks after my Dads passing I felt like I cried a lifetimes worth of tears. I believe that helped me in the acceptance process in some weird way. A year and a few months later I still have emotional moments when something reminds me of him and things I wish I could say and share with him. But at the end of the day he was suffering and struggling with addiction and his general health and I feel a sense of relief for him that he’s free of all of that. It’s hard to focus on but I hope you can come to the same conclusion with your brother. I’m an only child so I don’t know what it’s like to have a brother but I can imagine it’s similar to connecting to my Dad the way that we did at the end of his life after my parents separated early in my life… long ass comment here lol really appreciate this video and wishing you the best Dan. Keep shredding 🫶

Not easy to be so open man. I recently came to the realization that you shouldn't hold back to let people know that what they do is important or means a lot to you while you have it because you never know when/if it can be taken away. Im 41. Started skating again 3 years ago and you are a huge part of this.. I now have a mini ramp in my heated garage and a flat bar so I can skate year round (I live in northern ontario Canada.. snow man... It'll git ya) anyway. I know it's only 5 dollars Canadian so like 15 cents usd but Thank you. You are literally a part of my daily ritual and I knewww something was up when you didn't post yesterday. Stay healthy man feel free to not respond. You do enough already

Hey, Dan. Thanks for sharing your experience around losing your brother. I lost quite a few friends to opioids back in the 90s, and we lost a couple of my kids' classmates to accidental Fentanyl overdoses... I feel like I'm living in Groundhog Day. Thanks for keeping it real. You're an awesome carrier of the stoke for skateboarding, and you willingness to open up about your personal experiences is a massive gift to your followers. When folks are in pain, or carrying around some pain for a while ago, it really helps to hear other people talk about how they processed it. Grief is a real motherfucker, it sneaks up on you all the time... being reminded that it never really goes away is helpful. I'm a 47 year old dude that always tries to share the stoke of skateboarding, but I always take time to talk with folks about the heavy shit they might be going through, too. The skateboarding community is part of the reason that I'm still alive. Skateboarding is a pure, personal experience that you can share deeply with others. it is unique and magical, and skateboarders are, too.. I have had hour-long conversations with kids that I just met at Burnside about their fucked up personal lives, just so that the kid would feel like there was someone listening. I have shared my emotional pain with skaters while waiting for my turn on my first visit to a park. No other activity but skateboarding has allowed me the immediate depth of connection with people that I've just met. Fucking magical! Thank you for being so fucking rad, and for sharing your joy and pain with us all! Now, go skate!

Thank you for sharing this with us. I lost my father last month to stage 4 cancer. From his diagnosis; 3 weeks later he passed... Him and I didn't have the most healthy relationship, he was an alcoholic. I spent most of my childhood in survival mode, and as such I have trouble allowing myself to feel emotions in an organic way. I completely relate to this video, and in fact I really liked your analogy of looking into the room of emotional shit, but not quite allowing yourself to access/ unpack it.

My 14 yo son and my 3 year old also recently started as well, and its so much fun. Its great physically, mentally, and emotionally. You learn to work through struggle, and make it through to the other side and develop an appreciation for not only the end result, but the process of getting there. There's a lot of overlap between life and skateboarding, and many lessons that can be learned through trying something new. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I think you speak to many, and I know I listen. We all deal with hardships, but sharing them with others is the only way we heal.

Thank you, I think I take your advice its so important to be aware of the value of a having brother's. I too have that overthinking issue. Combined with a certain isolation I tend to walk into as soon as I'm confronted with a situation. While other's show their feelings and talk about it and cry and shout I'm calm and I feel so silly about it. Just wanted to say that I'm sorry for your loss. Make the best out of your time. Just be yourself it's ok to think a little more. Until you don't talk about it nobody knows anyways that's why I think you are progressing 😉

thanks for sharing this, Dan. though not totally similar circumstances, I've dealt with a similar situation with my uncle. And i'm sure you probably know this, but we all handle grief differently, and there's no "right" way, but rather the way that works for you. I only hope that you allow yourself some grace and compassion in dealing with it. It can be easy to get down on ourselves cause we're not doing this or that, or feeling a certain way, or processing grief in a certain way. As long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other, taking it day by day when you need to, moving in a positive direction... things will work themselves out, and you'll hopefully arrive at a place where you can look around and feel content. All the best, man.

Dan, my dad died before I was born, at age of 32. Heart attack took him in minutes, leaving my mom pregnant and a 4 year old brother. I had the EXACT same feelings when I turned 32 and realized how young he actually was. I thought I would never be much older. I am now about to turn 52. I have two sons, 10 and 13 and I want to be around them for as long as I can. But life is a ride, man. You just can't know what will hit you next. My marriage of 14 years is dissolving now. I am absolutely crushed, trying to process it all. The abandonment feeling I had as new born, even if I didn't know it at the time, came to haunt me now, 2 years later. So I am learning how to deal with my trauma. I love that you are doing internal work, man. It's SO important. Good work and thank you.

I watch a lot of different types of content on KZfaq. Dan is, by far, the most down-to-earth and genuine creator I've seen. What a great human being to share with us like this. It is so helpful for those of us who have our own bullshit to work through. I am grateful. Thank you, Dan.

Great stuff Dan. Thanks for sharing it with us. I recently got a letter published in Thrasher for the first time ever, which is exciting, but it was for a sad reason: we lost another skater to fentanyl here in Seattle. You can't do drugs anymore, kids. It's just too dangerous now.

appreciate you modeling this kind of vulnerability and humility, man. I work in mental health for a living and run skate groups for kids that it could literally save their lives. They need to see skate champions like yourself being honest and real. We lose to many kids, to many adults, and too many community members to our mental health and addictions. I often tell people that skateboarding is one of the main tools I use to help transform my feelings into something positive. Keep the medicine moving. We need to see impactful role models like yourself sharing in a meaningful way also your hilarious. Keep on keeping on man.

I follow you/your channel for way more than skating videos, sir. I’m an older guy with a child who has gone through severe mental health issues, and I greatly appreciate HOW you talk about mental health and your personal journey and your experiences with your brother. I hope you have some peace in your heart today. ❤

Thank you for posting this Dan! Im sorry about your brother passing like that Dan. I understand. My cousin just passed away 2 weeks ago from fentanyl too. I moved here to Florida to be closer to him and reunite with him. I loved him so much and miss him terribly. I always tell the people I love that I do. Guys take it in a weird way at first, but after a few times they break down and say they love me too😁.

Sorry for your loss Daniel. Just lost my mom 2 weeks ago, and she was on fentanyl the last weeks for pain relief - was hard to watch.

Thank you for sharing Dan. Losing a loved one is hard. Dealing with emotion is hard. Sharing with people is hard. I think it’s great to use your platform to talk about and share your own experiences with these things. I wish you the best. Stay strong brother.
