He has battled and relapsed some, it’s a struggle and a marathon as many are well aware. I am pleased beyond words to say he’s 110+ days sober now and doing very well. So proud of him and thankful he’s still fighting!

That’s my boy!!! I am so proud and happy for you man. I am grateful for so many people who have partnered across the country to love and support my son in so many ways. To Max Moon for loving him and saving his life numerous times … even in breaking his heart you saved him! And I know you 2 will always be bonded together. Amy, Levi … you were so gracious and we thank you. CJ Bell you helped me help him in so many ways and your friendship has always meant so much to him I know. And to all the rehab super heroes especially @ New Origins and Profound Healing I am forever grateful. But his heart, his endurance and resilience is what impresses me the most. Thank you God for this young man and all that is ahead of him now. Keep up the good fight day by day. We love you beyond words… to infinity and beyond♥️♥️♥️

Ain't nothing stronger than a level headed, motivated person in recovery who has been through it for real for real. I lost all my veins and almost my arm a few years ago. Got an abscess just from a pimple I scratched off too, ended up in urgent care 2 days in a row just lancing abscesses. Insanity we used to live. I appreciate you Sid, as well as you Mark and SWU for the great work you do. Peace

I’m a dilaudid addict for about the last 20 years. I had them “sold” to me by my doctor and was on it for a bunch of years and then Canada did the same thing pretty much. No more prescriptions for opiates and no more raising the dose for patients on narcotics. So basically I’ve been on the same dose for 15 years and now it doesn’t kill my physical pain it just keeps me from getting sick for most of the day now. Trouble is I need it for chronic intestinal and back pain…damned if I do etc…most of my friends also went to heroin and now fettie. I never did but it’s tempting sometimes.

@redxpen .. i met this couple whom claimed that they are functioning meth addicts whom they said the court awarded back to them parental of their two little children. I don't believe people last long functioning while using meth, especially when children are at risk, it takes money to keep the 8-ball rolling to satisfy their high, without it surely anything will break that so called functionality, and it is the children who suffer the most, or either grow ammune to that lifestyle of drugs, alcohol etc.. I knew too many friends who been there and back.

I totally agree. 30 days barely gets them thru the physical addiction. Outpatient is not helpful if you are only 30 days out and have to get a job, along with all the other requirements if your family is not willing to devote their time to help you. The mental pressure is huge. Like u said it took years to get to this addiction journey, not living a normal life in my case, my grandson has no clue how to live a “normal” life. What is a normal life in his mind? Addiction? Of course it is and the struggle continues.

@@maxkiller2738 i was a bit concerned about the big-ups for 30 days clean when he says he's been clean and relapsed before. of course we'd get shot down for saying so, cos it's so tentative when someone's on this path isn't it? one wrong word at the wrong time and it's back down below zero. so your point about ethically keeping sid's recovery under wraps for at least 6 months is fair. i also got a bit of 'ryan leone' vibes regarding making a thing of his recovery to help others, I feel it's maybe a bit early for that and he's rushing his exposure. how are you now? are you clean? sending good vibes.

I think your comment about how it's mind blowing that he decided to get help cause he lost "that" referring Max is the same type of mentality they and alot of us try to escape. You sound super judgemental yourself and the ugliest kind of judging like he isn't your idea of beauty. And I'm sure that with drugs in the picture with unhealed traumas they probably did have a lot of toxicity in the relationship but I am also sure they had beautiful moments of selfless unconditional love for one another. We all are walking traumas and unless a person decides to be conscious of this and productively work to make themselves and each day better then we continously damage others and put others through more trauma being on drugs or sober for that matter. One thing about being an addict is once you get sober you just see how sick everyone is and younare grateful that it pushed you to place where you can truly see past the veneer of people. But I just wanted to say something about your ugly smart ass "that" comment. He is beautiful on the outside and probably has a soul just as beautiful. And he must love him to push him to get off drugs. Alot of tender hearted people chose drugs to cope with the world. You just pray they learn to see they can cope without the drugs and that drugs will eventually make you the monster you hate in the world.

i’m a recovering hydrocodone addict and his statement about addiction not discriminating and not caring about your background is so true. i grew up with lots of love and structure and i ended up getting addicted to prescription pills that my doctor prescribed to me after surgery. a situation that you wouldn’t think would result in addiction but nope. i got hooked. i’m 30 days clean now too dude! i’m proud of us! i hope we both continue to be sober

Wow!! I cannot believe that’s the same guy! Damn… I never even thought that could possibly be Sid! I’m also a punk in recovery from heroin/fent, when he was acting like GG Allin was a God in the video I assumed he was a total lost cause because straight edge hardcore is actually some of the best punk music out there… just saying. I assume now, he was empathizing with GG also he was high. Anyway; good for you Sid you look SO GREAT! You’re so articulate! I actually live in GA right now outside of Atlanta I can relate very much to Sid and Max’s stories as I am originally from the extreme North as well. I hope Max is doing well now. It’s crazy what happens to us when we actively poison ourselves! I’m quite a bit older than these two and I’ve been a chronic relapser but I finally have some years now and feel pretty solid in my recovery finally… I hope Sid “gets” recovery while he’s still at his age. It took me to 38, I’m 44 now.

@@thatdude3977 When you look at what the cross represents, it's beautiful. God gave his son to die for us and give us eternal life and peace through Him. Once someone accepts the gift, it is natural to want to worship God. No one is forcing anyone to do it, but we hope that they will. On the other hand, Satanism is a very dark thing. If you've watched many of these interviews, you can see the people whose lives have been changed or are positive because of their faith in God. On the other hand, look at those who are involved with the occult. It's not hard to see which one is the better choice. Blessings!

Man, the first video I watched with you and Max I couldn’t help but think you were both lost causes. I was wrong. I was shocked and concerned. It seemed you had gone beyond repair. Again, I was wrong. Seeing you in this video with Mark is astonishing. My oldest son struggled with addiction for years and for many years we didn’t talk. He’s now bought a home, has a family and has been clean for 8 years. We talk every day just about. When you say not to enable that makes sense. All along my son knew how much I loved him but I had to push him out as he stole just about everything. He could screw up at being a screw up. He will tell you all these things. Thank God for you man. Stay the course as everyone here is hoping the very best for you. Not that you should care, but I’m truly amazed by the transformation.
