Joe never forget you are a success story. You keep grinding and trying every day. How many years you have stayed clean and trying to move forward. Congratulations on the baby. glad to see you back grinding on the after prison show. We are all rooting for lucky.
My father gave me very few good prices of advice when I seen him. He said this... "you can't get a solution when you hang around with the problem." I am rooting for the guy!
Lucky, If you see this . Bro I am 42 been using or drinking since 17.. I had a career that I did great in, but I never gave myself the chance I deserved. You're worth it bro. Give yourself the chance ... Please man
Turn 42 this year.. and I never got in to hard drugs. But, that bottle, it will consume you.. had two years clean. and with the way my situation is going, I slipped.. and man, just stay away from it.. that bottle only will create more problems for ya. And just cause it legal people think it ain't nothing. The shit will kill ya just as fast as a needle in the arm.. I deal with the struggle everyday. And have for a long time. It's the weak points that's, the surprise shit that hits us when we're doing good. I wish the absolute best for anyone dealing with an issue.. it's not easy, but it's something you can over come. It's just all about you.. take care everyone, and realize ya need to make time for yourself. Cause ain't no one else going to.
Not once was I good to go after 7 days. He was getting Suboxone the whole time. Then refuses it the day he leaves and heads back to Portsmouth to see his running buddy. Man I am bracing myself for what I know is gonna happen. And I say that with love and I pray Lucky makes it. And even if he doesn't still got nothing but love for him. But man you can't do 7 days with helper meds and then be good to go. Hell no lol. I had to be locked away MINIMUM of 4 weeks to even have a chance of not going right back soon as I got out. It won't take 24 hours for him to relapse. But I'm here for whatever comes Joe. You are trying like hell I know. All love.
I’ve never done that stuff, but from what I can see I don’t think he will stay clean. At best he won’t use as much as before. I wanna see him clean but I am really doubting it least for a while.
I wish him the best, but he isnt even detoxed after 5 days… Not only should he have stayed longer, but he should have gone to a rehab for the next 30 days at least. Post acute withdrawals are a thing… its a lot to handle.
@@ryandunham9282Since youve never done it 👍🙏🏼 I’ll tell you there isnt “wont use as much as he was before”… You’re either on it or youre not. And if you are on it, you are always doing as much as you can. Either as much as you can buy/steal, or as much as you can do without killing yourself. And you only care about not killing yourself so you can do more later… its ugly man. 12 years clean here though.
@@bluewinterwolf Rabbit ended up leaving rehab early, but I guess he's doing good now. I agree that Lucky is showing real promise. I hope he kicks it forever!
Lucky, I quit percs cold turkey, and after that hump of physical sickness, it became a mental sickness. The anxiety was hard to get passed, but once you go a month, you won’t even have the urge. You just gotta keep your mind off it and keep busy. And keep your eye on the prize, a new life and possible career. Stay strong bro!
Lucky's eyes have a shine to them that can only come from self approval and feeling good about yourself. I have high hopes for him. I see a lot of my clients come out of a detox program without that gleam and I feel like Lucky has a good chance if he can trust the process. ❤
Fk @@pepevonkek7803 if it was still heroin it wouldnt be as bad as it is now. Heroin is gone ... The detox off this whatever it is can kill people, and has
Yup that was me. I was crying, happy tears watching that video. ❤ 🎉 congratulations Lucky 🎉 keep working on you and stay clean. If you ever make it to NJ hit me up.
Thank you Joe for giving us an update on Lucky. He seems to be doing really well. I love his positive energy and attitude about life, when I switched my own way of life to be more positive and see the positives in life even through the darkest of times it really changed my life. That is why I am so happy to see Lucky's outlook is so similar. He really seems to want this to better himself and be a better person and I am rooting for him! Congrats to Lucky for finishing the program and staying so positive throughout this process!
I was a lifelong addict for decades and I had about as good of a childhood as you can have growing up with no issues or trauma at all I just kept making bad choices I have now been clean for 8 years
Joe, I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say this content you’ve been putting out has been fantastic! Love seeing you back on the camera and it’s been great getting to know Lucky. Also seeing Tom and Rabbit again too has been awesome! Been a fan for a long time and I’ll always rock with you! You’re the man Joe!
That "pink cloud" will fade quick Lucky. Congratulations on getting sober. Now comes the hard part. Staying sober! It's a tough road ahead. You got this brother!!
Sincerely hope Lucky takes this opportunity to stay clean and sober and doesn't relapse. Thanks for sharing this content. Im so hopeful for him. And Joe, clean the inside of your truck!!
Its been a big while since I've seen this channel, but holy shit dude it cant be overstated how amazing it is how far youve come since you've been released.
The battle is never over...that monkey is always staring. I learned a valuable lesson from my old man fighting alcoholism. It's never over. All it takes is once, and then it's all down hill. Rooting for you Lucky! I hope today's job turned out well! Keep focused and stay strong! The internet doesn't cheer for a lot of people, but I feel like we all have your back now.
Joe, I've been following you since day 1 and I'm not only SO happy to see you putting out content again, but you've always had a passion for helping others and THIS is truly where you shine. You have a great heart and Lucky is so lucky to have crossed paths with you. God bless both of you! ❤

GREAT WORK LUCKY!!! WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS AMAZING THAT 988 FOR HOUSEING/MENTAL HEALTH ASSISTANCE WILL GO WELL ESPECIALLY WHEN YOURE FEELING DEPRESSED OR BORED TALK TO SOMEONE PLEASE. GOOD LUCK FOR ALL YOU GUYS
Damn that thumbnail alone i almost didn't even recognize him im speechless he looks so good 100 times better i just about 😢 made me a little emotional lol way to go Lucky my man.🎉🥳🥳🎉
Amazing work, I hope he stays healthy and clean but seems very difficult, I’m praying for him. Wish you all the best and I will continue enjoying your work!! 💪🤗
Best of luck with these guys, Joe. We've been here, many times. Glad you got ahold of Rabbit, he seems like he's doing okay. Tom looks like he's trying to do good. And, Lucky looks like he wants to do good. You are a good man, Mr. Guerrero. A good man, indeed. Keep at it, brother. If you try to help 5 guys, and one of those guys makes it, it was totally worth it. And, you have really helped more than one guy. And that's just on the channel, with face to face. Don't forget all the people who watch your videos, and feel that you helped them. You mean a lot, to a lot of people.
Thank you guys. Aps army is strong. Proud of Lucky for taking that step and proud of Joe and Tom for doing everything they can to help and for bringing us along for the journey. Much love
If I'm being honest I do not think for one second he is going to stay clean. he looks like he can't wait to start using again. An that's why he wants to meet up with Kurt.
@@donjuanmckenzie4897But he was taking it in the “program,” you can’t just stop taking suboxone cold-turkey, it’s as if he hasn’t detoxed at all if so.
part of rehabilitation is spiritual mental and physical, getting past the first few days is only the beginning. Proud of you Lucky for taking the first step, I have struggled with addiction for longer than i can remember
Anyone that watches these videos knows that you really mean the best. I appreciate all the help that comes from Joe. I’d like to help out more as well. This channel can do a lot of good. Huge support for APS.
Please take care of yourself first. No more energy drinks!!!! It's not good for you. Lucky, you are a GEM! I am so happy to be a part of your journey! Sober 4 years myself! LOTS OF LOVE LUCKY!
So glad lucky stayed in the detox, but going to see old using buddies is a mistake that i made many times. Its best to put some distance between you and your using buddies at least for the first year... its such a critical and crucial time in recovery- good luck though, lucky!
Congratulations mate, so happy for you and your an inspiration to a lot of people. Good luck in everything you do and like I commented last time, you have a beautiful future ahead of you.
Looking good Lucky, My prayers are with you on this new chapter of this brand new book you are about to embark. Sobriety is not easy,But chasing the next fix is far more difficult. Congratulations an continued success on your journey forward man. 🙏💯💪 Good work Joe and Tom👍🙏💯
Joe, you have me excited for what's to come from AfterPrisonShow. I've got faith you'll deliver in a big way. Thanks for all your hard work! These consistent uploads have me feeling nostalgic, honestly.
The purpose of the 12 steps is exactly what you're saying Justin. It isn't like asking others to forgive you. It's more like asking you to forgive yourself 😢 To move on clean and sober. There is a lot more to it than that. To be the best person you can be and to clean up your character in whatever ways that needs to be.
Man I gotta say its been such a wild ride watching you thrive post-release Joe I started watching pretty early on and its been so awesome to see you not only stay on the right track but to help others do the same.
As for the funding maybe for some of these guys that have artistic talent you could auction off some pieces? That way people who do give are able to get something in return and its not seen as begging. What you're doing is super important not only for the individuals that you feature but also anyone who's going through similar shit
And on the topic of Lucky he seems like a genuine dude who's ready to make a real change, he also seems like a fighter...I have a good feeling he's going to do well
I beg to be wrong. I'm sorry, and I hope for the best. I don't see a man ready to go back. I hope I'm wrong and want the best for you, Luck. You are very intelligent and articulate.
Hopefully you can stay clean. People that understand addiction like myself do actually care about you because we know how you're feeling. God Bless You Lucky.
Lucky, I wish you all the best, There is a better way of life, And you're going to have ups and downs, Just stay focused on staying clean, one second, One minute, one hour, one day at a time. Rooting for you brother!! We do recover!!
Enjoy life, the free world, never take a moment forgranted and make the most out of every day! PEACE!! WE GOTTA BRING IT BACK BABY APS IS BACK BABY WE OUT HERE HELPING THE BOYS DOWN ON THEIR LUCK. LOVE TO SEE YOU BACK IN YOUR ELEMENT JOE!!!!
God I love everything about APS right now! Haven’t felt this pumped about this channel in a long time. And please have Tom as your wingman for a long time. I smell success baby 🎉
Congratulations Lucky on the first step! I'm so proud of you! Sending prayers and love for your continued sobriety an growth. Thank you Joe for not giving up ❤ you are a beautiful soul and Liam is gonna be proud of his Daddy one day ❤ ok happy tears 🥲
Nice one Lucky for doing your Detox, now the really hard work starts, thats staying clean. i really hope you can do it. im 24 years Heroin addict and currently clean since Dec 15th last year when i overdosed. since then tho i been clean and attending Narcotics Anonymous Fellowship and that has been a real game changer for me, i highly recommend it for any addict. Joe you are a superstar for helping Lucky.
He's already out? Well I guess getting you past the biggest withdrawal is still a big deal. Keep it up buddy! PS I thought it was only 1-2 days. Just lost track of time.
When people are sober their eyes are alive, because their soul is awakening...we know our eyes are the window to our soul and our eyes speak volumes ❤ Hoping God moves in and fills lucky's soul and removes the desire to use drugs and Repects his sobriety and puts his sobriety FIRST
As others here have said Lucky, 12 years clean after 20+ dirty AF. You can and will do this if you choose too. I wish you success and more importantly inner peace from the demons we all deal with. You got this !!!
Generally from what I've seen if someone wants to go back to the same area and talk to the same people the outlook isn't good. I certainly hope that isn't the case.
Salutes Lucky🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations Happy for you! Hope is a motivator that fuels the motion forward.. Keep pressing it's worth every bit of the journey. Suggestion stick with Joe and Tom, stay positive and busy, you possess the talents, greatness awaits.. 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Wishing him all the best, he looks great and here's hoping he keeps it up and enjoys getting into work, reconnecting with his family and getting his health back.
Been a subscriber since literally ur first video believe it or not!! APS better than all these corny prison channels. You and Josh are the only ones that aren’t cringe and genuine type dudes.
Hey Joe, your back on track and looking like your old self again and that's Great! Hey all APS subscribers lets help Joe out for once we all know he's struggling with his business and with TH-cam. He never asks us for help when in fact even at the lowest times of his life struggles he still helps others. So why don't we all send Joe 5 dollars each to help him help himself and others? We all hated when he disappeared for those 8 months and im sure money was part of the reason he left. So lets all help him to be able to keep making videos that we all want and need.
@@goose33 Believe me, I know. I'm clean since August 2018. Came off a $200 per day heroin/opana habit that lasted well over a decade. I STILL think about getting high almost daily. Probably always will.
It takes about 72 to 96 hours for the physical illness to go away. In my personal experience and from others, I think his timeline he gave was about accurate on how he felt. It is all mental after that, that is the hard part your brain does not change in 6 days. It takes desire and determination, I hope he has it and makes it work.
Hell yeah Lucky! Keep up the good work and fight the hard fight. You got the whole APS army behind you! Joe, Idk how true it is but, I heard another content creator say the real money is on Facebook. I guess posting short videos there is pretty lucrative. Worth a try...
Tom is spot on and a testament to his sobriety. Service unto others indeed a cornerstone for long term sobriety and one of the many successful components in a 12 step program I'm pulling for you and APS!
Lucky looks good, I pray he sticks with it. I'm about 6 years sober from drugs & alcohol & unfortunately my bestfriend of 20+ years passed in 2022 because she just couldn't get away from the drugs. I'm hoping the best for you man 🙏🙏
When Lucky said "The chase, I'm done, I'm over it." That's how I beat addiction. Sober 11 years now.
Joe never forget you are a success story. You keep grinding and trying every day. How many years you have stayed clean and trying to move forward. Congratulations on the baby. glad to see you back grinding on the after prison show. We are all rooting for lucky.
100%!!
My father gave me very few good prices of advice when I seen him.
He said this...
"you can't get a solution when you hang around with the problem."
I am rooting for the guy!

It's just all about you.. take care everyone, and realize ya need to make time for yourself. Cause ain't no one else going to.
Even if you can function with an addiction it still can take a toll on your money and focus.
So do you my friend.
Wow, I can relate too well ❤
I am too a functioning drinker but i am 48 and my both my kiddos got through college and I have an awesome job..It's just being responsible.
Tom deserves a car more than anyone that’s ever been on this show. He’s the only one that has stayed cleaned for as long as he has
True
Congratulations Lucky. A lot of people are rooting for you.

One of your OG fans here Joe, just subscribed, and it's great to see you out here.
Come on!!!! Well done joe. Keep inspiring us all.
He's already out?
Well I guess getting you past the biggest withdrawal is still a big deal.
Keep it up buddy!
PS I thought it was only 1-2 days.
Just lost track of time.
When people are sober their eyes are alive, because their soul is awakening...we know our eyes are the window to our soul and our eyes speak volumes ❤ Hoping God moves in and fills lucky's soul and removes the desire to use drugs and Repects his sobriety and puts his sobriety FIRST
As others here have said Lucky, 12 years clean after 20+ dirty AF. You can and will do this if you choose too. I wish you success and more importantly inner peace from the demons we all deal with. You got this !!!
Generally from what I've seen if someone wants to go back to the same area and talk to the same people the outlook isn't good. I certainly hope that isn't the case.
I’m soooo glad you’re back Joe…❤❤
You have a really big heart joe-Lucky you got this-one day at a time boyz
as a day one fan , im happy to see u again in my feed !
glad you're back this is good ish
Salutes Lucky🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations Happy for you!
Hope is a motivator that fuels the motion forward.. Keep pressing it's worth every bit of the journey.
Suggestion stick with Joe and Tom, stay positive and busy, you possess the talents, greatness awaits.. 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Ever forward, Lucky. Keep pushing.
Don't think the battle is over brother.. 5 days isn't long at all. You may still get sick man but I hope the best for you
Amazing Video!! You have such a beautiful truck, Joe 😎👊🏻 Tom is always great to see on APS and Lucky looks fantastic 👏🏻 Keep on going forward Lucky! 😊
Watching the ads for you Joe!
Prayers for Lucky. I hope if he needs support, he reaches out to the resources Tom told him about.
I am happy you are going back to the way the ch was like before
Wishing him all the best, he looks great and here's hoping he keeps it up and enjoys getting into work, reconnecting with his family and getting his health back.
Been a subscriber since literally ur first video believe it or not!! APS better than all these corny prison channels. You and Josh are the only ones that aren’t cringe and genuine type dudes.
Hey Joe, your back on track and looking like your old self again and that's Great! Hey all APS subscribers lets help Joe out for once we all know he's struggling with his business and with TH-cam. He never asks us for help when in fact even at the lowest times of his life struggles he still helps others. So why don't we all send Joe 5 dollars each to help him help himself and others? We all hated when he disappeared for those 8 months and im sure money was part of the reason he left. So lets all help him to be able to keep making videos that we all want and need.
Detoxing isn't "half the battle". It's about 1/100,000,000th of the battle.
2nd step out of a lifetime WAR
@@goose33 Believe me, I know. I'm clean since August 2018. Came off a $200 per day heroin/opana habit that lasted well over a decade.
I STILL think about getting high almost daily. Probably always will.
@dizzle1119 shit i haven't heard the word opana" in a LONG time
Good luck brother I got clean 2017
Yep.
$UICIDEBOY$- OPANA
So proud of you for even walking through those doors Lucky. ❤ Hang in there.
That was a quick detox...
Heroin withdrawals don't last that long. Didn't even last a week when I came off many many years ago.
@@paradiddle5150 I see. I haven't struggled with it myself, but I have friends in active addiction. They don't seem to want help.
It takes about 72 to 96 hours for the physical illness to go away. In my personal experience and from others, I think his timeline he gave was about accurate on how he felt. It is all mental after that, that is the hard part your brain does not change in 6 days. It takes desire and determination, I hope he has it and makes it work.
Hell yeah Lucky! Keep up the good work and fight the hard fight. You got the whole APS army behind you! Joe, Idk how true it is but, I heard another content creator say the real money is on Facebook. I guess posting short videos there is pretty lucrative. Worth a try...
I guess with all the people and stories you bring i forget to say that we also believe in you joe dont give up on what your doin!
Lucky has a good heart and deserves better Tom and Joe are great guys helping with everything
Glad to hear about your business also so that I know you still have a painting business 😊
Man what nice caring guy you are Joe!! The WORLD NEEDS MORE JOES!!! Simple as That❤
I don't want to be chained to nothing "lights up a cigarette"
Smoking a cig is the least of his worries
Keep up the good work lucky 👍 it’s a long slow road but believing in yourself is the beginning.
Good job Lucky! You really do look good! I can see the difference and I don't normally notice that kind of stuff
exciting to see the channel back! Gods work
Tom is spot on and a testament to his sobriety.
Service unto others indeed a cornerstone for long term sobriety and one of the many successful components in a 12 step program
I'm pulling for you and APS!
Lucky looks good, I pray he sticks with it. I'm about 6 years sober from drugs & alcohol & unfortunately my bestfriend of 20+ years passed in 2022 because she just couldn't get away from the drugs. I'm hoping the best for you man 🙏🙏
Congratulations Lucky! Hold Yourself Up & Hold On! Peace!
