CONGRATS!! I'm currently on day 224 with no support, just cold turkey & trusting myself to not fall back in. Life is full of ups and downs and right now i'm down but i know if i relapse i'll fall even further down this ladder we climb. Love you Russell, thanks for inspiring us
Well done mate. I struggle to ask for help. Totally understand what you are going through. Hope you're ok from England 👍
We do recover 🙏
Thats super impressive, definitely recommend finding an accountability partner, but whatever works for you, keep it up!
th-cam.com/video/P-3UWn0Efjo/w-d-xo.html Breaking news..Media didnt like you to see this
Good for you man. From experience, consider finding some support, though. I don’t know you, but for myself, the year/365 day mark things changed and without a counselor I am pretty sure I would have relapsed. Still, 224 days is awesome.
You got this! WTG!

I was abused as a child… not an excuse but have been through hell over the years self medicating the trauma… I’m 3 months clean on 26th December
Be safe everyone and keep going!
Update I fell off wagon! But I’m back on the wagon today and striving for sobriety again!
Some people would think 3 months is no big deal.. people deep in the shit know better. 1 week is damn rough. good luck with your continued abstinence! :)
@@DakTirCue thank you my friend
Every clean and sober day is a succesful day 💪 going to 9 months with christmass
@@r.9332 well done that man!
Well done ❤ we always have the capacity to heal and transform our lives.
Going on 4 years clean for me. Congrats my friend. Stay strong.
I talked to a professor about my previous life when I was a drug addict and he mentioned he was an alcoholic years ago. He said addicts have a different perspective of life when they get clean because they know what it feels like to be dead inside and once you are clean you realize how beautiful life is and love every day. That resonated with me a lot.
Wow, thank you for sharing
I was in the United States Army’s a combat engineer and I’ve done a lot of high adrenaline activities I’ve done a lot of hard things but quitting heroin is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done! Russell thank you for your example you’re an encouragement to me congratulations on the 19 years
Stay strong and thank you for your service....
12B here 99-03. Happy to hear you got off the opiate express. Devil in disguise. Keep fighting the fight. Sappers forward!
Still fighting it and I hate it. I’m always gonna quit tomorrow but tomorrow never comes. I’ve hit rock bottom and been homeless and quit for 6 months but didn’t last. I did it once 20 years ago and quit for 10 years then started again like a moron when my life went to shit. Glad you made it out man it is deff the hardest thing to quit ever.
12B 08-12, now a 35F. Keep up the good work. Lots of people to lean on if you need it.
Holy shit that was the most well spoken speech on sobriety I've ever heard, as someone who is 6 years clean I'm proud of you and to those who are just starting their journey, you CAN do it !
6 years clean and sober
@@timkennedy2727 Respect brother. Peace and salutations.
Awesome Kyle💪🏻💪🏻
Two years for me.
Congrats to all of you with long term sobriety and those of you beginning your beautiful journey.
2 hours for me.
@@timkennedy2727 proud of you!
What an amazing message.💜 This New Year's I'll be 22 years sober.
I almost lost my grandson to drug overdose and I didn't even know it till months later and with continued use every time the phone rang I was so scared that would be the call telling me he was dead. Finally after several months and his girlfriend's third overdose they decided to seek help. It's been 3yrs and today he has a good job a home and is the father of a 2yr old son that's his everything. I thank God everyday.
35 years sober here. Life has gone from suicidal to great, have a storybook life now. Good job doing what I like, wife, 3 kids, 7 grandkids all nearby. To think I could have thrown this all away.
Me too - 1986
Well done!!!
Very inspiring, Russell. After 30 years of drinking, I finally realized that alcohol provides me with no benefits. I can, however, make a substantial list of the negative effects of alcohol on my body and spirit. Today is my 36th day since I’ve had a drop. Taking it one day at a time. Watching videos like this helps me immensely. So, thank you!
Way to go... I'm on day one...again, this video was just motivation I needed.
Congrats! I've also found a hobby or two helps, kinda fill that void.
One day at a time! Keep going!!
Yes! I always say, back in my drinking days i could just as well have paid someone to stand inside my house with a rubber mallet and bludgeon me when i walked in. Same effect.
Please keep it up mate...you've already done the hardest yards in many respects....with the right attitude it's all good news from here...all the very best :)
Mint, am exactly the same as you mate am 19 years clean from heroin addiction this month, totally done a 180 turn with my life I now have an 8 year old daughter and had a full time job for 7 years now, absolutely chuffed with myself, well done to you Russell aswell
Happy to hear it, Richard. So taken aback to see it's been 19 yrs - remembering when Russell went through all that publicly thinking how glad i was to have failed getting much h. being comeoff sick helped motivate me away as well ; )
took me quite a bit longer (no drink 7 yrs) but, here we are in a parallel universe eh? Glad for us 👍🏻
@@MichaelBrewick nice one man, happier and healthy life ahead
Happier and healthier life ahead
Good on you mate proud of ya !! Much love
It's so hard to get & stay clean. I tell my best friend, who is 20+ years clean, once you accomplish this, there is NOTHING you can't do!! You go man, great job!!
Its very hard especially if you around negativity and negative people
@@blackpillaudrius3015 Thats the point. You have to focus on yourself. Be selfish. And taking responsibility for your life.
@@dejzzster I am taking responsibilty for my life but I always get distracted by foolish people
31 years for me! You deserve a buttload of credit, those other people did not keep you sober you did! Most of the people I got sober with 31 years ago have since died from their drug of choice I stayed sober because a young lady told me I didn't answer drink if I didn't want to
Congrats on your clean time!
Congrats ,11 years for me
Congrats
You're inspiring! 💪🏾
Thank you for speaking the truth instead of the 12 step nonsense that Russell and so many others preach. I quit 100% on my own, so deserve 100% of the credit. I don't live my life "one day at a time"; I chose to put my drinking lifestyle where it belongs - in the past. Why should I waste time sitting around talking about past mistakes with others when I can get on with my life?
19 years is incredible, you’re an example of what’s possible for those who feel like they’re trapped in an endless inescapable cycle
Somehow he was able to transform himself into someone who may not crave those substance, this is rare. Russell needs to donate his body to science to be dissected and studied
You're a sweet soul.
That's what your 4 million subs see in you.
Congrats on your sobriety!
Congratulations 🎉 I'm a little over 15 years. It feels good and after a while you just don't think about it. Removing problematic people, learning about our own addictive tendencies, and usually some kind of trauma are often the underlying causes.
I love the person you have become Russel. A quality human being! Thank you for your conversations.
Congrats Russel! 19 years, that is something to celebrate. I’m coming up on 1 year sober after 20 years of drinking. Love your based and sober vids man. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless!
Bravo Mr. Brand you are an inspiration to all of us.
19 years for me. Whats insane is I was in the same town at the same time as Russell and never saw him but then I saw him at AA (they don't do NA there now) when I took an American Airman who was suffering, from a local base to a meeting and who was there? This 6'4" bohemian dressed long hair called Russell. One of the nicest humans I've ever met almost exactly as he is here, just quarter and more humble.
Congratulations
Congrats on your coming 1 yr. sober. I am starting over again with just 5+ weeks, but I will make it this time by the Grace Of God. Keep up the good work.
happy upcoming birthday!
It is freaking HARD work. 9 years sober, and I was a total addict! And a nightmare... WELL DONE Russell, one day at a time! x
Never forget where you came from.
Well done on 9 years sober, that's a huge achievement.
This is beautiful, Russell! The person that emerged from your former chaos is such an inspiration! I was a fan in the ‘old days’ but far prefer this incredible guy x
So true man! I somehow loved this guy all along, but the transformation is incredible!!
Hey Brother, that is answered prayer, when I was addicted, I prayed for my overcoming, and the overcoming of everyone else who was suffering as I was. He is faithful!
I just had a talk with my parents about me relapsing back into taking drugs and drink after being arrested for drugs this time last year I saw my mother cry and my father's anger and it did nothing to change my mind. I felt like shit and had given up on changing. I went on my phone to forget about it and hide myself in the internet and I saw your video. You might have given me the strength to try again with what you just said. Thanks
You can do it! You can live a life you are proud of. 👏
Godspeed!
Hey Guy . We sitting in the same boat, instead of adding more water lets bucket some out, patch some holes and sail on, one day at a time.
Keep fighting. Be more stubborn than your addiction. You can win this. It's much more difficult in the beginning than it is 20 years into being sober. Just crest that hill and stay motivated.
The phone is a bigger addition than all the addictions put together. The rehabs are full of internet addicted people. I'm 18 years sober but this phone is sticking to me like a parasite. Yesterday I saw a guy walk into a moving car while texting. But... Maybe today, just like you, I might just fxck it out of my life. Best of luck. Time for self-love
10 months no alcohol here after 17 years. Congrats brother. My takeaway from addiction is that people who never experienced that do not understand the vast mental swings and demons that takeover your mindset. 99% of my friends we're made at bars, I quit, now maybe have 2 friends. It takes time to recover and time to rebuild socially. Isolation can be extreme and it's important to have people around. I'm rooting for you 100% and here's to another 19 years! You are an inspiration.

Congratulations on 19yrs clean! I loved the view that recovery is to claim back the person you were destined to be. It's wonderful to see you as a fully grown oak tree now, Russell ✨🌳 thank you for everything you do and sending gratitude to those that walked the path before you
I know the day will come where I will need to follow the path to recovery… soon.
Russel, congratulations!
I just celebrated 22 months myself after trying to quit for 12 years in and out of treatment! Congratulations, Russell. You are one of my greatest inspirations. Love ya!
Awesome Mathias! We are the lucky ones...and we get to learn so much along the way.
Amazing! Well done 👏
Well done Mathias. You're doing great :)

Congratulations on 19 years!!! Huge milestone. I just hit 16 months clean. Working the steps and going to meetings. Growing as a person. Super grateful for recovery.
Well done. Keep it up, you are worth it 💗👍
Sixteen months is a long time. Well done, and keep on fighting. Life passes by quickly, but you will see the best of it with a clear mind, and make the world that bit better for your living a happy life within it.
Congratulations on the anniversary mate, inspirational stuff. Literally day 1 of my journey, lots of failed attempts so far but hearing this gives me hope. Love to everyone on this path.
How are you doing friend? I’m day 1 today.
Bravo!!!! What a great example you are to ALL of us. Everyone has “something” they need to overcome! Thank you! Prayers and love! ❤️💪🙏
As an alcoholic trying to remain sober I look up to you a lot. You're truly inspiring to me. Congratulations Russell. You're doing so well!! I love your channel. I love what you do! You're a strong man.
Dont delay in joining your local AA meetings. You are worth a change. We cannot do it alone.
You are so much more than an alcoholic. It's just an anaesthetic for the pain and chaos of life and we all need a saviour from human behaviour sometimes . You wonderful and amazing individual. Massive hugs to ya , the kind that squeezes the pain away and makes you feel loved .
5 years clean from Heroin & Opioids as of July 4th, 2016!! Makes me happy you are also in recovery, and have more time under your belt! Aside from the respect I've gained for you through your thought provoking, solution seeking talks, I have gained even MORE respect for you knowing you have 19 years, big congrats bro! Much love from USA!
You are an inspiration to us all!!!! Addicts and sober people. Who would have thought you would have come so far as to be the world's best informative journalist ❤️❤️❤️🥰
Watching this as I couldn't watch the 20 years victory that a friend sent (congrats on the 20 Mr Brand)
I'm today 27 months and 15 days sober. My alcoholism was created out of association and then routine. Luckily, my addiction was a few years, but those few years caused so much chaos that I am of course, ashamed of, but I no longer dwell upon. I own my mistakes but am moving forward and not living in the past. I'm close to regaining access to my son and I am living a life now with so much positive energy in it, I feel so very blessed.
Identifying with so much you're saying fella makes me smile and I just want to again, congratulate you on your 20 years clean and thank those around me who stuck around and supported me. The tools learnt from my S.M.A.R.T meetings and to say to anyone in addiction, if you want to get clean, you CAN get clean. You ARE strong enough and ARE worth it. Stay strong all 💪🏼
Absolutely incredible! I'm coming up on 2 years! Sober since 02/02/2020! It feels better and better everyday! I never thought I could feel a great as I do. Being sober was the best decision I've ever made. God Bless! 🙏🏼
4 years for me this month! Feels great. I much prefer bring sober. I did have 10 years sobriety before but I got careless and fell off the wagon.
Congrats to all of us recovering addicts! May we have many more years of sobriety. God bless.
PS, love your podcast and YT channel. Even my partner now is hooked. 😀
Well done 👍 I am very proud of every person who is on the journey... It's one of hardest human challenges ... You are not alone and keep winning 😉
I am 8 years clean and sober and I am so proud of myself and all those that have fought these demons, addiction and are living a successful recovery. Thank you Russell for having the courage to speak about your past and your bright future. I was severely injured in Afghanistan and subsequently prescribed painkillers during months and months of recovery and rehab. Through treatment, I realized that my youth led to my adulthood being predisposed to addiction and that I would have the fight of my life on my hands. As my life and family were being destroyed from the inside out, i reached the lowest point of my life and knew if I didn't change and get off these pills I would be broke and worse possibly dead. Through a strong support system and my determination to change my life, I've been slowly conquering my addiction and living my best life. Thank you Russell and for all those out there battling addiction...you can do it and I have faith in you, even if you don't!
Couldn't agree more....20 years clean from heroin myself and have never looked back
100% clean from everything now
No drink
No weed
Not even a paracetamol in my house
Just all natural and now going through my spiritual enlightenment as we speak
This is really helping me right now as lost my sister of 40 years of age 2 days ago.
Cut out all the cancers In your life and find your spiritual self 🙏
CONGRATULATIONS Russel! A friend visited last week, a 53 year old mother of 3 children. She is a big fan of yours and saw you talking about recovery, it gave her the courage to admit she had an issue with alcohol. She studied your journey and applied it to her life, she went to AA, got a sponsor, a therapist, support from friends and family. This was a 2 years ago, and she had the courage to do it through the duress of lockdowns and madness in Australia. She held on and her life has changed dramatically. Your influence is far reaching Russell! Thank you!
Great story, thanks for sharing it.
Congratulations beautiful soul, thank you for everything have done, are doing and will do. Also thank you to all of the people that have supported you on your journey KEEP RISING 🙏 💫

So happy for you! It's a battle. My friends had horrible addictions. They've all passed on now. I love them and may they all rest in peace from their pains in this life.
Congratulations my brother!
You DO deserve credit for this, because the people that helped you, saw something in you.
You must’ve been good to them in the past, so they decided to be good to you in return.
You and them deserve all the love in the world.
I am 22 years clean and sober my wife saved my life I owe her everything
Love and appreciate your videos helping people look at the root cause of addiction
Congratulations Russell! I'm 6 months clean from meth & I'll be done with tobacco before Christmas! I'm so proud for all the addicts/alcoholics in recovery who see this! For those not in recovery yet: YOU CAN DO THIS! YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH!!!!
Congratulations to u too

I find that so hard to do. I hate it by now.
You're so strong 🤗❤️
I love this man's soul. Thank you Ressel for sharing your life with all is us. We all love you.
Congratulations mr Russel.
I got mild cannabis addiction myself on and off but I imagine its much, much harder to stop after hard drugs and all those parties in the old days.
Big respect from me. 19 years is really impresive considering everything.
Your sobriety has not only helped you, but everyone who follows you. Congratulations and thank you!
True words!
Sober 14 years. Started my journey in Afghanistan while I was deployed. Got severely wounded by a suicide bomber in February of 2007. Was on a lot of narcotics while recovering from injures. Took my last drink in a casino in Vegas on May 27th 2007. My life has been a series of miracles since and I owe it all to getting sober.
Any war veteran deserves all the help he/she needs after such incredibly hard, deeply profound experiences such as acts of wars. 14 years... What an amazing achievement. I hope your life proves its worth to stay healthy and well each day 💗💗 much love 💖
@@KC-xf9wc We all deserve and need help regardless of our life situation. Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you for your service Jordan Enger and congratulations on staying clean. I'm glad you've made it though all those obstacles, you're a strong person.
Congratulations!! Great Job Russell! Very proud of you and thank you for continuing to help others all around the world!
12 years here brother! Keep it up! Our children are great motivators to stay the course. 💪👍
Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing this important and inspiring message. Tomorrow (December 14th) I’ll be 3 years sober and I hope to find a way to inspire others who are seeking this freedom, the reminder of one day at a time and the basis of spiritual emptiness for addiction are my experience as well. I hope everyone watching this will know that you CAN overcome anything you’re going through whether it’s drugs and alcohol or another type of addiction, there is a light at the end of the tunnel ❤️
Sooooo proud of you! I'm currently 8 years off opiates ..One of if not the hardest thing I ever had to was Detox...To those still struggling or feeling to weak or sick to go on. IT DOES GET BETTER!! half of the my old crew are now sadly past away or incarcerated ..Me and one other guy made it to the other side out of 8 ppl. #grateful
bro it is the same for myself out of 5 guys who i was always with it is only myelf and 1 other left who is in gaol. i feel so lucky that my family went thru mulitple rehabs and jails. got clean been clean now 20 yrs
My detox and time in rehab for opiates was the absolute worst thing ever and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy
@New Life New Rules your lucky you got out of it that easily for some of us it's a life long battle that literally kills many of us
21 years no smoking last month. Have seen my Uncle RIP , struggle with cocaine as a child and have seen great men I knew be reduced to much lesser men from abuse. So great job and great mindset Adam. I do not associate with anyone that has a negative impact on themselves or others and you have learned the hard way as well. Always share your perspective if it helps just one person feel like they are not alone and gives them strength.
🎊 Congratulations Russell. I finally reached the point where I no longer wanted to do it. Your videos helped me. I feel so much better and have become a lot more productive. I've achieved a lot of success in the past year
Awesome!! 👏🏼 I just celebrated 10 years of continued sobriety on Oct 17th 2021. Assuming a new identity and replacing my negative addictions with positive addictions was key 🔑 Love you and the awareness you provide. Cheers 🥂 🧘🏻♂️ 🙏🏼
Russell, This video is a beautiful example of 19 years of practicing spiritual principles. I was graced with 35 earlier this year. Grateful to walk the road with others as fortunate and make room for more!
"To thine self be true"
3 plus years sober from alcohol and most everything else. I had to hit a wall to realize what was helping me.. and what was not. Good job Bro.. 🙏🏽 Well done Lad.
Also, I would like to add: Trust Your Brilliance. This was on a fortune cookie I opened years ago and I still think of it. Three years sober is awesome doll!

CONGRATULATIONS!
Thank you Russell, for sharing your own journey, as well as your wisdom.
Like you, I've spent many years in addiction groups and received so much from individuals & the group processes, and am deeply grateful.
You are a great example to anyone who wants a better life, inner peace and strength.
Namaste 🙏
After over 20 years dealing with my Sons addiction, I have all but lost hope. However your words deeply inspire me , and have restored my faith in hope. Thank-you. God bless.xx
I am keeping your son in my prayers today! I know he can do it. For some it just takes a long time, it took a long time for me too.
Your son is in my prayers as well. Please keep your faith. I'm trying everything I can to find an end to my addictions so I'll ask God for help with yours.
Congratulations Russell! My parents are both in recovery and as a "child" of addicts I will say that you DO deserve praise for that accomplishment. Yes, you have people along your journey that help you through your trials but YOU are doing the work sir. If you weren't you wouldn't be at 19 years sobriety. SOOOOO......
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
Russell, you are a total inspiration! In sharing your path, you are illuminating the way for others. You have shown me it's possible to change, and helped me appreciate that my addiction to alcohol was caused by a spiritual longing, a disconnection from myself and others, and the earth. My dad was an alcoholic and died when I was 14, he never managed to find his way, there ways always something missing for him. He died kneeling by his bedside. I want to believe he was praying, that as he passed on he prayed for something better, for love, for freedom, for the suffering to end. It was so hard losing my father to the void, it made me determined to find another way. I've always believed change is possible but it took a long time to admit my own problems and accept I needed help - that's the bit I've struggled with the most. Tomorrow, I'm a year and 4 months sober, one day a time, like you say. I'm sticking with it because of people like you - you're a beacon in the darkness of a broken society, showing what it is when you live the life that was intended for you. Thank you for shining so brightly, thank you for finding the words for addiction, thank you for giving so many people like me hope and the confidence to go on. I am forever grateful. ❤️✨🕯️
I’m currently on day 72 and just reading Recovery Freedom From Our Addictions. Each breath is feeling miraculous. Well done Russell, well done for seeking the help and learning to dance with your demons…and a big thank you for contributing to mine and other peoples inspiration to stay clean 🙏🏼
I just hit 8 years. Been sober since I was 21 and can't imagine a life WITH alcohol. Don't know how people do it. Congratulations to you on your massive achievement. Thank you for all the inspiration through the years.
Right on that's amazing !!
Alcohol is amazing
Congrats, no alcohol for 16 years here. Don't know if I'm technically sober, but my life is going well for me.
i don't understand it myself but i've heard there are people who can just like drink in moderation and not feel deprived or make stupid decisions while drinking like what?? it just feels so nice and if you have more it feels nicer so why wouldn't i want to do it all the time? but i had to stop because it was ruining my life. congrats on eight years! i just celebrated nine months, i'm 21. it's such a weird age to get sober
Cheers!
My daughter was 31 on Monday she's been a heroin and crack addict since she was 16. I always forward your videos to her in a hope that she will follow your great example. You are one of my favourite people on the entire planet and I salute you on your beautiful sobriety thank you Russell for all the hope you give to others. ☮❤🕊🙏👍
I'll pray for her to find her way. God bless you mom im sure its kill you that you can't make her see there's light at the end of tunnel.
@@markflanagan6653 Thanks Mark. I'll never give up hope for her. ☮❤
One thing that I am working on now in recovery is to think about myself less. What can you do, as a great mom which you are, to find your purpose, connect with God and live your best life. I hope that sounds encouraging. Praying for you and your daughter. Peace.
@@dkBybee Thank you for your kind words.
I'm bringing up my grandchildren and it's them that keep me going. ❤☮

Congratulations!!! That’s fantastic💗 So great to hear that you’ve had so much support from people around you! Love and support for all of us ❤️
Congratulations Russell! I have ten years of grateful sobriety, and life is so much more peaceful and relationships closer. Thanks for being a power of example and inspiration. 🙏🏻❤️🕊🌻
Congratulations, my nephew fell off the wagon after 5 years sober and died this spring. An addict is always addict so keep being strong and surrounding yourself with the right people
Sorry for your loss!
I am so sorry to see this
Just when you think everything on youtube is turning to CRAP this shows up. Truly inspirational and best wishes to you and your family ! Please keep up the good work.
Well done Russel. Absolutely amazing!! I'm coming up 10 years soon.... I spent 4 months in a psychiatric ward at the end of my drinking & using after a suicide attempt. Got two kids now & retrained as a mental health nurse.. All thanks to AA & 12 step programme. Much love to anyone suffering. 💫
This video is for anyone who’s struggling with any addiction. We need more voices like you Russell. Congratulations and God bless 🙏🏽🤍✝️
Congratulations Russell. My son had a drinking problem since he was 15. He was left with a choice, either live or die. He chose life. He's been clean for 3 years this January. One day at a time and help others. This is part of the great awakening.
Congratulations Russell! I just hit five years myself. I never truly knew clarity until I gave up the things that were holding captive in my own personal prison. It's lifechanging, and more importantly, life-preserving.
That was an absolutely amazing message on many levels. Thank you for your openness, honesty, and commitment... Every day of sobriety is amazing. Wishing you all the very best in life.
Amazing Russell. Loved your voice through the years and will always support you. You evolve. We all should. Be well sober man.
Well done Russel!
I'm at 44 years, 3 months and 24 days.
Wow!
Hard-work forever pays bruv.
‘We call it recovery because you recover the person you were intended to be’ ....wow that gave me goosebumps!! Awesome video ❤️
Love it😇
As someone who for different reasons is working on self improvement after year of bad habits, this was really relatable. ❤️
OMG. That gave me goosebumps, too! Deep truths often do that! Enjoy the day!
Agree! One of the best comments I've heard in a long while. Because it's so absolutely on target & true.
Beautiful message! Thank you and a big congratulations, brother. Godspeed.
I love your heart and consciousness, Russell! Congratulations! So glad you found your path of service. It definitely helps me feel like I’m not alone in this mad world.❤️🙏🏻✨
Well done to everyone who's celebrating a sober milestone. Keep going to everyone who is working their way towards sobriety. It's the hardest thing you'll ever have to do but you WILL feel better for it.
I just wanted to quit so lots of people would congrat me help and do things for me. Give me good job
Still miss it to this day. Irrelevant really but I miss the liquid courage so much. Lol the good old days .
@@JasonSmith-zu3rn I forgot the part where that's my problem.
Congrats man!!! I'm at 4 years now myself.. keep up the great work
Keep up the solid work 💪🙏🤘

Fair play bruv I'm 3 years I was on off for a while before but it's been 3 years now no junk, not many of us make it bruv so nice one
I'm very happy for you. You've cleaned yourself up and now you spot facts for us all to hear. Love you russel
Congratulations Russell Brand!!! Your miracle inspired mine... I was on drugs for many many years and I had 3 years clean as of Nov 14 and it's largely due to reading your book, recovery, and taking the advice you give. I got involved with an anonymous programs, went to meetings and never used even if I wanted to. I would not still be here if I hadn't gotten clean. So, I thank you for showing me a clean life was possible.
I fully believe that society and the state of things with mental illness and all the suffering people suffer is causing massive rises in addiction.
Was 8 pints and a bottle of JD every day for 12 years. Went cold turkey and was terrified of needing medical help. Decided to do it on my own (just worked for me) sober for just over 4 years. At a stage where i can even go in a pub and not drink alcohol. Everybody is different. xxxx
Well done 💪🙏
common fallacy. real addicts just dont magically "drop" it. thousands of addicts confirm this thru AA. good for you if you are being truthful, but you would be 1 out a millions of you were a true addict and just randomly dropped it.
@@fettmaneiii4439 As i said, everybody is different.
That was the only thing I questioned, people are definitely different, some require support, some are just stubborn and, or strong willed and will do it without. Congrats on the sobriety
@@fettmaneiii4439 av cold turkied drink a was drunk from 14 till 20 knew a was killing myself if I didn't stop n stopped it
Smoked hash which a don't see as an addiction still smoke it for pain and more
Cold turkied diazepam wasn't fun
But every1 us different some need help some don't
What you do need is a strong head and the will to do it n a love a challenge but no these kind
But as a say that's the card we were dealt
So raise it or go bust
Al always go for raise
No matter what
Keep strong
It is ok NOT to be ok ❤☝️

Congratulations Russell!
Much respect!💖
That (RB) took drugs imported with child smuggling...Think about it.
Congratulations man!!! It's a tough road and so amazing that you've come so far. I am regularly impressed by you
Watching this on my 50th day sober. Thank you Russel 💕✨
19 years is definitely something to be proud of!!
So is 19 weeks, so is 19 days. Anyone making these goals should feel proud! One step at a time
I have a few people I care about that I wish I could help, but I know they can't start the journey until *they* want the change... If they do it for someone else it won't stick, with possibly the exception of their own children.
Good for you Russell! I haven't had any Alcohol in almost three years now. I stopped drinking when I realized that 99% of all bad decisions I'd made was after being under the influence of alcohol. Feels great to wake up in the morning never having a hangover. Tried weed, but never got hooked into using any drugs. I think one of the main problems with society today is the lack of community. I see people walk their dogs reading stuff on their phone, not actually being aware of the world. Others blindly go to work and acts as robots, not using their critical thinking ability and ignoring what their body and mind says. I'm in the process of going minimalistic by selling most of my belongings, and eventually moving onto a sailing boat with which I'm planning to be a net positive for the world ;) Cheers to you bro!
So happy to witness your transformation throughout the years. It's proof that such transformation is possible 🙏
Just today I shared a version of the 12 steps I hear from one of your broadcasts. Love your shares. Keep up the great work. ODAAT. Another God shot seeing this show up on one of the groups I belong to on FB. Thanks for continuing to reach in.
Never had an addiction but my father did. It was hell for the people around him so I cannot imagine the hell the person suffering is going through. I love listening to you. I am much older and must admit you have even given an “old dog” new visions. The very best to you and your family.
I've seen entire families shattered by one addict. I've also seen several generations succumb to addiction because the influence of one person. Good on you for never turning to it. 😀👍
@@asmongoldsmouth9839 - Exactly. Both sides of my family were alcoholics. Generations of drunks. My siblings all off'd themselves. Most of my cousins also grew up following in their parents' footsteps. For whatever reason, God gave me the eyes to see the truth.
Thank you so so much for benig open with your journey! When I got sober 8,5 years ago you where one of the people inspiring and guiding me. I am forever greatful. Congratulations and keep up the work one day at the time 🙏❤️😘
Thank you Russell for sharing & Congratulations on this special milestone - whilst you couldn't have done it without the support, love, tenderness and teaching of those crucial people in your journey of recovery and sobriety it is important to not discredit that you yourself worked hard to apply what you learned - were accountable to others and were committed one day at a time for 19years Well done! I am on my own journey of recovery and as part of that I have lost 22kgs and took up barbell strength training and whilst I couldn't have done it on my own - I am proud of myself for working hard to live differently - Keep learning & growing, Stay strong and get stronger, because you care enough about yourself to value the importance of staying clean and sober for your own wellbeing, to be the best husband and father you can be & to keep being a positive change agent in this world and in your communities. :-) The hard work involved in recovery is so worth it.
You really give the people something and deserve every sub! Such a authentic and i bet loyal guy.. Props from germany
I stopped drinking and chucking drugs up my face 16 months ago. Like you, Russell, I decided to fill my gaping chasm with yoga and meditation. It's without a doubt the wisest decision I have ever, ever made. I couldn't have done it without my partner, my therapist, my yoga mat and my zafu. And dark chocolate digestive biscuits. Sweet Jesus, how I love a biscuit now. Happy 19th anniversary! Keep on keeping on and thank you for your honesty! You're a good lad X
Congratulations Russell, and everybody else who's fighting dependency, no matter how long you've been clean.
I’m 28 years clean and sober......Addictive personalities can change...I’ve been a mentor for many years...That Spiritually is often missing in peoples’s lives...is a huge problem..
Congratulations Russell! Mucho thanks for your book and those great exercises. Your irreverent ways speak to so many of us-whether just starting out or us older timers. Thanks again. Good to see you.
I lost my brother to alcoholism. Breaks my heart still. Congrats and stay the course. It's a marathon. Gods best to you and yours as we head into this joyous season. ❤
Out of curiosity what was his age?
That’s awful.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
I was 14 when I went to my first AA meeting. With my dad. But to see how another person could open themselves up and talk about the wrongs they did and other people supporting them and letting them know that even if they used to be "terrible" people that change was possible. I'm now 39 and have battled addiction for close to 14 years, I know that people genuinely want to help other people and its helped me greatly. Congratulations on 19 years sober brother. One day I'll be there too.
Cudo’s to your father showing you his weakness and showing you where free help is if you are willing to do the internal work and external action required to recover.
I did it. You can too.
Please don't give up one day before the miracle happens. It runs in the family for some reason.
💙
Praying for your sobriety and finding a community you can rely on x
You can do it.
