He looks a lot better then he use to. I say he looks his age. Tattoos might throw it off a bit

The dudes being leached on by all the blood suckers around.... And they have him right where they want em.....

@Carson Runnells who the fuck do you hang out with ?!?! Skateboarding bringing people to satanism ?? Lol

This dude probably wasn't drinking that much lol he exaggerates . Also lied about El toro

The amount of skaters who self-medicate with beer and weed is massive. That's the culture that I was drawn to. It was manly, it was rebellious, and it was exciting. But oh so dangerous bc you don't know you're in too deep until it's too late

Bro

He definitely doesn’t look 31, he looks more like 41.

Facts

he aged really bad honestly. he’s only 31 yet can pass for someone who’s in their early 40s. I guess the drugs got into him because 10 years ago he looked his age

only 31? I thought he was like 19

Same here brother - CA for me

Same here 2 years sober my daughter saved me took me 1 kid to change my life

Keep coming back gentlemen!

AA doesn't save people, Jesus does.

Congrats broskie I’m clean off opiates shit is good wish I could have that time back

Thats a Beautiful thing.Keep it up.

Keep up the good work! One day at a time!! Stay Blessed!!! 👊😎👊😎👊😎

Yawn go get a beer you loser

@@e2zbasketball288 🤦‍♂️

Sober for 2 years here!

Nice, I'll be there in 19 months after I quit drinking in July.

Stay strong!

Good job dude. Keep it up!

Salute! 💪🙏

Keep it up I am 16 months sober best thing i did

The next day you have your dope and it's early enough in the day to call or go down there, go get on methadone or Suboxone! Your appointment probably won't be for like a week so you'll still have to do your thing in the meantime but make sure you make your appointment go get your first dose do what they say and just don't use if you're serious not getting clean once you feel good from the Suboxone or methadone you're not going to want to use but if you're not serious you're still going to have that itch in the back of your brain 15 years is a long time that's about how long it took me you can do it bro it's hard but you can definitely do it!

Stay strong buddy. I was a dope fiend for 9 years. Couldn’t go six hours without using. In July I’ll have 7 years sober. Just keep on putting in the work and don’t give up. Go to meetings, talk to people, and most importantly of all, don’t come up with reasons for yourself about why all those things might work for others but not for you. I thought meetings and sponsors and all were the lamest thing in the world, and I hated all the cliches. But at a certain point it starts to click

The amazing thing about God’s grace is not only the ability to forgive you, but also the strength He gives you when you start over. 7 years off dope this year

Yeshua is just a human. The Creator who can never die and is above the heavens and the earth and who created Yeshua, it is he who deserves all praise and glory.

@@yobro6053 good thing he rose from the dead and didn't stay dead...

Definitely. And I think there’s a definite connection between all these really successful people and addiction. They are obsessive over their sport, their music, their career and that same personality that is soo focused, these people are all in or not at all. They don’t do anything half way. Often there’s no balance.

Facts. I got an addictive personality. And it catches up to you. Good and bad.

@@brettfrimmer6567 especially people who are successful and famous very early on in life

@Win From Within lol facts

He is a person of extremes. Most addicts are. Sometimes the people who look the most hopeless are actually the ones who are most likely to make a huge comeback, once they find the right support.

How old are you

Get help man I’ve never had a problem with alcohol but my family has had alcoholics and drug addicts life has so much to offer and never be afraid to admit you have a problem it’ll be the best decision you’d make

You can do it man

man im 27 been drinking everyday for the past 5 years... 3 days ago out of the blue i said im done with this shit.. tired of the fatigue hangovers, i started to lose interest in the things i loved, and i put drinking before anything really. a day later i see this interview come out and it just motivated me even more.. if i can stop you can stop. i just smoke weed now :) good luck you should quit

@@bam4446 it’s a sign bro, u got it

Hey Mike, no one is good: „as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:10-12‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Thats why we need Jesus, his perfection and sacrifice is the only reason why we can cine to the father: „“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”“ ‭‭John‬ ‭3:16-21‬ ‭ESV‬‬ www.bible.com God bless you Mike.

You got this bro! This comment inspired me

Your a champ man!! It isn't easy you got it man! I'm not sober and haven't been for 5+ years day to day I know it's time to be the real me. Thanks for sharing man God bless.

Much love brother ♥️

You’re killing it bro. Keep going 💪🏼Thanks for the inspiration.

Much love brother

There's nothing to be ashamed of. Especially once you take accountability for wrong past actions and have the courage to change. That's pretty much the definition of being a quality human being and having self respect.

Me too I remember that too

@Joel Moore Couldn't say it better.

Wisdom brother , wisdom and the truth

First step to admitting you have any problem tbh... for the longest time I denied I had PTSD and abandonment issues.

Wrong. I admitted I had a problem 5yrs before I got clean. The first step is Rock Bottom.

The point is to get help before you hit rock bottom

@@dickfitswell3437 it is the first step to admit u have a problem, some people take years to get sober in my case after admitting i had a problem it took me 6 years, it was not only until i realized my life was at risk that i quit. Now finally i have the opportunity to be a better me i have taken courses on subjects online that i was always interested but couldnt do it because i was always drunk or hungover. I have time now to workout study and my family is proud of me. Alcohol took away at least a decade from me i am 31 now and its not too late for me to get into a good career and become that person everyone likes and not that person who offends everyone while intoxicated. God Bless

Facts

You're awesome !!! This comment inspired me. I quit drinking last November.

Single Dad as well. Was drinking a handle of Jim Beam a day to get rid of the stress. Kids needed their dad.

Way to go brotha 💪🏼You’re daughter’s lucky to have you.

I couldn’t believe those words were coming out of his mouth. What a testimony to the miracles Christ performs. I got the chills.

God help us all to be brave and testify that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, and the rapture is near. In these last moments before the end of the age of grace, many are deceived by the devil and scoffing at those who know Jesus is coming back. Stay armored up. Maranatha.

More delusional than brave. 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼 It Still blows my mind that actual grown adults still believe that nonsense! 🤦🏼

@@timsunderland5153 I've got plenty of evidence that God exists......What's yours that He doesnt?

How do you know it's the "Holy Spirit" he's feeling?

@Mark prolly because she’s felt it before

We know the feeling of the Holy Spirit with us, and the rapture really could happen any day. Jesus told us to watch- Matthew 24:42-44 and Matthew 25 for the wise virgins. It's a great motivator to know it's imminent. Maranatha.

@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways that's nonsense. Why do you believe the Bible is anything more than an ancient book written by humans without any scientific understanding?

@@marqqqddr Christians know everything thats going to happen and can explain everything..

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the interview! -AD

Graham is a wonderful interviewer.

@@GrahamBensinger the canelo piece was incredible, thank you !

yeah his mom was a babe

Me too, it was entertaining to watch

The day after is the absolute worst. Everything sucks

100%. I just became so sick of feeling like crap the next day. I just stopped. Haven’t thought about having a drink for 5 years. I know some people need help, And should always reach out if you can’t do it yourself. Drinking is a waste of time, money and is always full of regret.

True words

Hitler?

Yeah there is. Thats dumb

@@byronbass1370 Dude obviously we're not talking about the trash of the trash. We're not talking about pedophiles, rapists and mass murderers. We're talking about flawed people. At least I hope the guy who made the comment is.

That is so true man . it really is . because it simply breaks down whoever it is , to a human . just a human like all of us .

Amen!

Amen. Lots of fake Christians, and I was one of them in the Baptist church all my life until God started speaking to me on June 28, 2004. I have been on YT for over four years because the Lord told me to warn people that the rapture is happening. Don't want anyone to be left behind, but most are not born again. Praying someone will surrender to Jesus Christ completely today. It's not religion but a personal relationship.

@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways Good for you bro. God bless you and we'll be chilling and hanging together eventually, with our Father so...until then...sharing the good news and makin disciples!

Glad you enjoyed the interview, thanks for watching. -AD

@Bleeding Edge Well, it's not that hard to understand the reason why. Those people mostly chose earning money and fame over living a sustainable and happy life. It's the prize they pay for always wanna be better, faster, richer, more beautiful than everybody else.

It’s because no matter how successful more often then not these people are spiritually dead inside. Not that being a monk in a desolate land somewhere will make you whole but the western model clearly does not work. I know people who pray and commit themselves to enlightenment and they aren’t complete either. It is the human condition and suffering and sadness is apart of it since happiness and euphoria is also there.

So true. You're either finally getting to know you're true self or you're getting to know your sober self all over again. It can be scary at first but it's so worth it.

@@ShogunateDaimyo True that! I have no regrets being sober and feel so much better and clear minded. Some people get uneasy when I don't say yes to drugs or drinking, and I think this is because they can't imagine having a good time without using. People places and things really help too. I imagine Ryan knows that one. It's difficult at first, but you then realize who really are your friends and who aren't.

did jesus give you the alcohol in the first place also ?

Been sober since 9-2002 53 years old now and I’ll never “grow up” but I did become a man and I matured a little. My mother is 83 I’m still her kid and I refuse to grow up. Quote for sons: “A man doesn’t become a man until the day his father dies”. My father died 5-31-2002. The Lord took drugs and alcohol from me before 9-7-2002

@@buttneked3963 Thanks for sharing bro. I feel ya there. I still play music and am young at heart too. All the best to you and your family. Much love.

Much love from dallas. You too men make me wanna do better and I plan to do better. I'm 22 and feel stuck but seeing grown men who've came out of darkness and shined makes me know, there is hope. So thank you for reminding me. Both of you. Thank you.

Yeah man growing up to believe in Santa clause again.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! -AD

One of the primary reasons I stopped drinking. I live in an apartment by myself at the beach now. No more shitty roommates in a shitty town.

Absolutely! Jesus loves us unconditionally and is all forgiving. Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, inviting him into your life and into your heart is by far the best, smartest, greatest decision you can ever make!

There is no god. You’re delusional. It’s important that people tell you that. Stop being a child.

Jesus is the only answer.

So true!

Facts

That's the truth! We stay with our Bibles open and read it daily to keep us on the straight and narrow and in love with Jesus with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and to love our neighbor as ourself. Jesus really is coming to rapture us any day. We have to sound the alarm that the time to repent and trust in Jesus is now. Maranatha.
