    He’s a cool dude. I hit him up today on social media for advice on my alcohol addiction and he instantly responded. He gave me some great advice inspiration.

    Truly inspirational story! Jared Gordon just gain a fan. If I was the UFC brass I would be using him and his story as a platform to reach the world. Especially with opiate epidemic going on. Jared is blessed god keeper here for a reason and his reason is to fight and help others!

    just learnt about this guy from the up and coming fight with Paddy. This guy seems pretty cool. Strange we have such a similar background with sexual abuse and heroin addiction. Glad he's gotten himself sober like myself. Hope he does well this weekend.

    • @mpayne8206
      @mpayne8206 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same here, bud. Was sexually abused at like 6 years old by a family member. Struggled with alcohol addiction and opiate addiction (thankfully, I got clean before it went to heroin)
      I never thought about the sexual abuse being a contributing factor to my addiction. But seeing this same story over and over makes me rethink that.
      Wish you the best!

      Jared said basement was full of propane tanks, areosol cans, an illegally installed boiler. Boiler really set things off. Negligence??? Maybe.

    He doesn't deserve sympathy for being addicted to heroin.

    • @humanhumanhuman1146
      @humanhumanhuman1146 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      But he does deserve some for his struggle to stay on sober/clean course

    • @robertstefaniak3212
      @robertstefaniak3212 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Easy to say. Try to quit whatever you are addicted to. I cant even quit smoking.

    • @Thayleon
      @Thayleon 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've quit smoking and I've faced challengs in my life. I've done some drugs but nothing worse than coke. I was smart enough to know that heroin would ruin my life.
      Hats off to the guy for overcoming adversity but he doesn't deserve love for recovering from heroin.

    • @robertstefaniak3212
      @robertstefaniak3212 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Robert Kitch agree but still does not deserve to be hated. Life isn't fair. Nobody has ckean hands

    • @garykee9117
      @garykee9117 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Robert Kitch if his story can help even one person over come addiction then him sharing his story is a good thing he isn't asking for sympathy from anyone he is just sharing his story as ariel asked him too, and if you don't understand addiction you understand this guy went thru hell and is coming out on top so hats off to him
