I’m 12 years clean but I’m always only a minute away from blowing it all and going back. Well done mate, keep at it 👊

So true billy, I was on the smack for 25 years up until 2019. And the biggest thing I find dealing with is my feelings, learning all them things again at 52 years old. You really do inspire me billy knowing it’s not only me with every day struggles.

I was a heroin addict for 13 years, and I'm 18 year's clean, but not one day hasn't gone by that I don't think about it, but thank god I've managed to stay on the right side.. It's very hard for the first year of being clean, because you have to deal with reality, and that can be very hard, so I changed and got tuff on meself, and started a fresh again with new friends and a new place to live, you need to change you're hole lifestyle if you want to get clean and stay clean. Great story Billy, and fairplay to ye 🍀💚🙏💙

Well done Billy, I get suicidal time to time I dont drink, have no drug addictions ever, I seen my mother suffer with severe mental health issues when I was a kid, my sister had depression, we had it from young kids when kids livin in page moss in the 70's, we went through hell, watching my mar do terrible things with her schizophrenia, bipolar, it had a devastating impact on our mental health, where I get the urge to stay here I dont know, but I'm here but you doing well bill, keep going listening to your story makes me feel abit better. You are meant to be here bill, to share your struggles gives people hope.

I been clean for 14 yrs was using for 12 yrs but I have bounced back so much happier and better keep doing what you are doing been to jail 5 times and for woman it’s hard ..I wouldn’t never want to go back and all this is so true. Couldn’t of said it any better I also have no desire as I’m. It going back to that place again ever 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Once you know your an alcoholic or a heroin addict or anything like that you can never touch it again not even a half because 99.9%of the time you will relapse simple as that. Keep it up billy mate your doing fantastic and your videos are really helpful

What an amazing video billy this will be appreciated by the right people for the right reasons, massive respect for you and this type of content. You carry a message billy this was brilliant

The Realist Podcaster In The Game 💯

Hey Billy, great content. I've lived in Thailand for nearly 20 years now, really enjoyed your story as I could relate to some of the places you ended up in over here. My Ma died a couple of years ago and I took it kind of badly, started finding my way into drugs and to be honest your story has made me realise I've got to pack it in. I've got a beautiful wife and 12 year old daughter and a lot to live for. your story has inspired me to pack it in and start paying more attention to life again. Thanks mate, tomorrow I'm packing it all in. And that's largely down to you....xx

This upload blew me away. Today,. Someone, somewhere is going to see this. And it will be the inspiration they will need to turn it around and move on up. You gotta hit bottom before you can come up.

That was powerful mate. Best thing I've watched tonight. Addiction has hit me and my family. Most heroin users I feel really sorry for, as for most their literally just self medicating to numb life's past traumas. God bless mate.

I'm always late to the party. Just discovered your channel Bill, wow what an articulate man you are.

WOW what a fantastic man you are Billy. God only knows how many human beings lives you will save with this little video. One day when you find out what's next when you pop your clogs, then will you understand the good you have done in this life. Lol and you think you've done bad all your life, well when you are shown the good you have done in this life, the humans you have inspired and helped, and all with your short little videos, my my who would have thought it eh kid. YOU ARE A THOROUGHLY DECENT AND GREAT HUMAN BEING BILLY. I thank you on behalf of the countless you have helped and the countless more you will go on to help. In just the short time you have been doing videos like this blessing the world with your insights, you have made up for and reversed any bad you may have done a thousand times over. You have inspired, helped and done more good in the short time you've been doing this than most humans do in a whole lifetime pal. As humans go.... your a cracker mate 😉

I am waiting to go in rehab I have the same life u had I have been in the big house with u . I have been on it for 35yrs and have s,o,p,d and I now that if I don’t sourt my self this time then am lucky to have a couple of years left, I love how honest you are and am so happy for you mate 👍👋

Thanks Billy and it was never a party fella it was isolation for me and psychosis and hospitals 🙏🏻 send my love to your Joe ❤️

Amazing this Billy inspirational to anyone going through the same I’m sure you’ve helped people with your story and you deserve to be proud. Personally I’m not down that road but when I go out I go out and this video did pull up some things as if a sign to say stop so thank you mate. Hope your well billy and keep up the amazing work mate 👍🏻

Thanks Billy, every word you say is spot on, stay safe lad, 1 day at a time.

Top man. True words again. Keeps me on the right path. Thank you.

These videos are incredible information mate. You are clearly the real deal and someone who is not afraid to speak the truth, which will definitely help someone in need. Great job mate, you have my 100% support. I wish you all the best and I wish everyone who is struggling the strength to push on and get clean.

Top mark to you with your honesty and your input to helping others out there with their problems.

My Mom never quit on me either, even when I did, We are lucky to have been blessed with great Moms Great Story, I subbed

Thanks for being so honest. Stay strong and clean.

*_Thanks for that Bill, I appreciate your honesty._* 👍

Awww your mum sounds like heaven sent... glad she now has her peace back... made me well up at the end!! ❤️

Takes a Man to talk straight and honestly! FairPlay To you Billy!

Great words billy best ive ever seen someone put out on addiction , that 8 month on g.o.a.d will have given you tough long days of weighing up your life 6 weeks down there made me do a lot of thinking, analysing your past and present going through the motions and emotions then when door opens on governors rounds standing tall and staunch full off bravado , living life on lifes terns is tough when your institutionalised and then you've got a house a kid and responsibilities, but your proof it can be done, keep strong mate ive got no desire for drugs but i used to , i just need to lose the desire for a few pints for good not just a month here and there , be lucky mate

Billy I so love your honesty you've come along way and that's because your real in my opinion. I can relate to you in so many ways. Your positivety and honesty shines through and touches many including me

Thanks for sharing Billy, keep on your positive path, your making up for your wrongs now and am sure your family appreciate how you've turned your life around and become a better version of yourself 👍

Fair play to you Billy that was powerful I know you were just chatting to us but you hit the nail on the head, I will keep it short you are a inspirational man keep up the good work 👏

Honest words from an inspiring man!! Love hearing your journey through life, had a similar path, but like you I’m in a good place now nearly 50 and life feels sweet for once for what feels like forever! For those in doubt never stop fighting, as life’s tough no doubt, but if you really try and never give up you’re tougher, listen to billy if not me ❤️

Billy just described my life! U always think you’re the only one struggling, it’s So refreshing to hear somebody 2 say it how it is without chatting shit!

Well done!! Amazing how honest and open you are a real inspiration.

Lovely to hear a bit of humility from this man, my drug of choice was alcohol but messing about with any drug always led me back, jails and nut houses and medication, haven't done any mind altering drug in coming up 20 years keep up the good work friend.

hi bill have watched all your podcasts and i have simply because your real and transparent this one just proves why i do watch them take care and god bless

True Legend! A massive WELL DONE to you for your HUGE ACHIEVEMENT...👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏

Very honest and it must’ve taken a lot of guts! I think what you’re putting out those has value to help people better understand the problem of addiction

Hiya Billy... love how you supplement the podcast with these words of wisdom... keeping it real keeps us safe! sobriety is hard, but the best feeling is gaining people's trust again, ppl are scared of letting you back in, too painful ... but ppl will see your change gradually... just won't be weeks n months... more like years, maybe never, but you can't control that... life in life's terms is hard! Thanks Billy, x

Hi ya billy.i don't no you personally but one thing I can say is I'm so proud to say I know your life n person through yt.You are a inspiration to many .may god bless you & all your family .Thank you for just been you.sending special a hug to a great humble kind man..awww you touched my heart strings .🌹♥️

brilliant video that billy. this should be shown on tv to the masses mate.

Good morning Billy. Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won't). Keep on Keeping on. One Day at a Time in a Row 💚 🙏. God Bless. Have a beautiful day. KTF

I relapsed recently and really needed this video, I was on heroin on and off but mostly on for 9 years, struggled with Crohn’s disease which has left me unable to work and keep myself busy at times. Waiting for an op and managing to keep my head above water just now but still self punishing a bit and self doubting

Wise word mate. Only way ur now looking down it's to help some folk up onto their feet billy as a ex addict 8yr clean but my girl has ADHD and that's more important I got better for myself first because I would have been no good to my lassy mate speaks volumes ur a inspiration 💯 billy keep on keeping on and with ur brother it's hard going but we love the bones of our family big love and massive respect what a strong words to put out there mate take my hat off to you but I'm lady so Al take my bobble out for you lad 😂 ❤️to u billy n the kid that I have massive respect for you & Joe hez a 💎🙏

realy needed this I relapsed after 7 years . Trust me it does get worse . back now a few weeks in ,I can count my blessings. I was one of the lucky ones .a lot don't make it back

Good morning Billy As I come clean, I have to admit that I have been in a battle with love and fear. Thankfully, love has won... but not because I, or it, fought harder. No, it happened, not with a fist, but with a willingness to throw my hands in the air and let be... let in what is knocking, let go what's leaving, and let live what's dancing about, and let love. Have a beautiful day. Keep on Keeping on. One Day at a Time in a Row 💚 🙏 KTF.

I've been clean and using so many times the amount of clucks I've done and gone back to it is stupid. Was a year clean and my daughter's mother committed suicide and I ended up back on the gear. I still ain't grieved using to numb my emotions. Now have my daughter with me full time she was staying with me 5 nights a night before her mother passed but I was clean then. Currently on day 3 of raw withdrawal and I have faith I can get thru it this time. The reality and what you say coping with real life and coming to have to grieve is the hardest as I've numbed it with drugs for months. But I can't hide it anymore no one knows I was using Ive held a job down throughout all my addictions but I can't hide it anymore. Thanks for the video I needed it at this time your story is inspiring and motivating. Keep up with the great content take care god bless

Nice one mate u relate to a lot of people keep up the good work and thanks for message

hope you find peace bill if it's any consolation your one of the better podcasters out there kin tell you've got integrity

Wicked video mate. Really well explained.

I sent this to my son... because I care... god bless you 🙏 x

ispiring words Billy..a true role model
