Frank, Thank you for sharing part of your story and possibly sparking hope for others. No child should have to grow up that way. You have found a way to rise above the shitty hand you were dealt, with all odds turned against you! You should be extremely proud of the man you are today. You are proof that you don't have to become a product of your environment, you can break the cycle! You are a good soul and have a heart of gold. God bless!
Thanks for sharing this small part of your story! Your are so inspiring. I can't thank you for being a beacon of light and serving others. My energy field was completely broken going down there Saturday night. I guess cause it's family. I felt very hopeless, depressed and couldn't get out of bed Sunday. When I woke today, my car wouldn't start and I was late getting to work... I was passing through the security station to get inside, and a guy behind me said "I love your sweatshirt! I'm a fan of Frank Rodriguez." It brought me back to center and made me smile. There are no coincidences, that both of us were late coming in at the same exact time today! Oddly enough, my brother told me Saturday night that he doesn't believe there are no coincidences. He is such a lost soul! You and your chat give me hope!
It’s crazy how we come from some dysfunctional backgrounds and yet we manage to have the hearts that we do have. That’s just proof that God has plans for people like us. Thank you for sharing part of your story. We all have a story to tell and we all want are stories to be heard. God Bless!
It's so true, most empaths and lightworkers have seen some of the darkest days that lead us right into the path of serving others. I don't believe I would have found my true passion without all the trauma I have been subjected too!
Nancy Drew I am 40 years old and I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I am an empathy and I look at it now as a gift because I am no longer running from it. Agree with what you wrote wholeheartedly. God Bless
Frank you're such an amazing person, you help alot of people in need struggling with addiction, I really appreciate and like what you do, I'm a recovering addict myself
Jake Dooley hey i wanna knkw how you doing. I use fentanyl and i cant seem to be able to stop. Even tho i keel trying. I pray for strength for you and anyone going thru this.
Love hearing about your younger years. You’ve sure been through some stuff,& managed getting through it. So proud of the man you’ve become. Stay strong, healthy, safe,happy,& blessed.💯❤️👍🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I really appreciate your honesty I come from a bad back ground I was born in a women's prison my father has always been a high ranking member of the largest motorcycle club in world my mother died of a herion over dose I have 7 brothers I grew up in different club houses I was born in Boston general hospital ..long story I had 5 children two passed away I am a milatry vet now at the end of my fight with stage 4 brain cancer ..one thing is I absolutely love this channel because you have heart n soul and you do it because you honestly care about human life I will keep watching ... good kid and be safe 💟🌹👍🙏
I didn't finish video but I'm interested in how your family was effected by your addiction. Your wife, kids (if you had them at that point in time), sisters, brothers, mother etc. How did your addiction effect your relationships and friendships? Is there anyone you still associate with from your past? (Negative people) What are things that trigger you? Seeing people use and knowing there are drugs that close to you doesn't ever bother you? Thanks! I'm looking forward to all parts of your story.
Similar situation to mine growing up. Parents were drug adicts care system i ended up a adict. Been clean for 6 yrs now im so greatful. Thanks for sharing ur story
KING FRANK that's deep bro. Drugs,alcohol, drama was part of our life as well. Keep the positive movements on helping the people. Wonderful motivational speaker. Be blessed bro.
You are so amazing. Really. From someone who has never been addicted to anything other than nicotine, you make everything so real and you make us understand that we are ALL one wrong move away from becoming an addict on the street. God bless you!💕
I commend you on what you do sir. I used to live in Jersey about 15 min drive from Kensington and would go there and cop all kinds of drugs. It started with weed and dust but then moved on to coke crack and dope also. A bunch of friends and myself would all put our money together decide what we were gonna do drug wise and then myself and one or two friends would go grab the stuff and come back and we would all party somewhere and this was a daily occurance. To me the rush of going to get the stuff and being in that environment was just as addicting as the drugs. I never had a desire to stay in the area and get high because you cant enjoy it in an unsafe place such as that. I do understand why people do stay there or end up staying there but I saw shit getting bad for myself and moved to South Carolina before it got to that point. I had friends getting stabbed, robbed, beat up there, been robbed once or twice myself, then close friends were dying from overdoses so I said that's it... I gotta bounce. At the time I wasnt fully addicted to opiates so it wasnt that hard to walk away, but I continued to chase them in S.C. until I was addicted. The struggle is real and I cant help but get that anxious feeling in my stomach when I watch the videos of you walking around out there. But anyway I truly admire what you do and salute you for your efforts, keep doing what you do brother.
Thanks for sharing your life story, it takes a lot to share childhood trauma but it is a necessity to release it and talk about it. I cant wait for the next episode.
I've respected you for the help you've been providing the people struggling with addiction in the streets. However, after hearing your story, that respect has grown even more. I admire the fact that, even after being born into and raised in a dysfunctional environment, you have been able to overcome all that adversity. You're a great human being. You're here because God has chosen you to help others. May God continue to bless you.
Thank God you’re one of his You’ve come a long way and you’re doing great things not only for you and yours but for others and I have mad respect for you 🙏Overcoming is the best achievement in life we can have
So happy that you turned your life around. You help & inspire so many ppl. Stay Blessed! God is So Good!! Going through things, you really understand what the addicts you talk to are feeling & going through. 🙏
Thank you so much for allowing us into your past, present & future. It takes a lot of strength & courage to openly share your lives journey, Frank. You’re earliest childhood experiences & memories were hard enough to share...but I am sure, as your interview continues...the hardest is yet to come. I commend you for your honesty, transparency & above all your committed dedication! Continue to inspire, Frank. God Bless!! 🙏👌
My daughter went to Teen Challenge- it can be a very good thing. So proud of you Frank- keep fighting the good fight. I’ve been clean almost 35 yrs.....
Ive seen your videos of the life in Kensington. Im proud that you turned your life around for the better. In September I'll be 3 years clean off of heroin. Its the best decision i ever made. Didn't need rehab, no methadone clinic or anything like that. I stopped on my own. Was doin it for 4 years from 2013 to 2017. I love life more than i ever had.
Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love watching! I'm a recovering addict (11-17-2011)...but been on methadone the whole time ( at a clinic) so sum wud not considered me clean...BUT I KNO wat works for me 🤷...but I really am feeling the need n want to get off it but scared to death iam going to "back slide"...I DON'T wanna end up homeless or in prison again....just scared 🤷
Good evening Mr. Frank and Friend, “After your recovery (congrats btw) what was it specifically , that prompted you to Give Back in this amazing way?” ( literally revisiting your demons so to speak )
Frank you took me back talking about Brooklyn and then south second st that was my area in the 1980s to the 1990 frank it all changed their frank thank you for your Brooklyn story and all your Kensington story
What a horrible childhood you had no wonder you have ptsd . You have come a long way from being broken down and God saved you and placed you out there to help others who probably had a childhood like yours. Your Grandmother was a special person 🌹
I cant get over how you can see needles and dope and not fold. For me even speaking about it would get me wanting it. It takes true strength to do what you do and self control. Big respect
Thanks for sharing part of your life story being whom you have become is beautiful. About to watch Part 2. Love what you do trying to let others know that their life is so valuable. This is it!
Thank you for sharing a part of your story. I can’t wait for part 2. You have a heart of gold Frank you have a beautiful soul. I’m sorry you had to grow up that way and I’m so proud of you that you were able to turn your life around for the better and now you have a beautiful family of your own. God Bless You Frank.
I love how you didn't let your childhood and how you were raised define who you grew up to be. I know you had your own setbacks but you turned all that bad into good and continue to keep giving forward. I love your videos. You truly are inspiring. May God continue to bless you and your family along all these journeys you take in life.
This may sound so silly but the part when Frank said they used to use to stove for heat...that hit home. I remember my mom. having to do that from time to time
Crazy story man. Much respect. Im 24 years old. Had a poor childhood in Philly & still going through it currently. Baby mother taking me for child support, I. R. S just audit me, car is broken down, my homie just died, grandma just died, working for $11 an hour, and mom is crying for rent money... I appreciate your videos Frank they give yu a lil hope man...
@@oscarorellana2169 are you joking man? Lol My PayPal and email is: qasimm1995@gmail.com if your wondering.... I need advice on this journey as fuel man
I love your videos you’re so intriguing and transparent with your shit like on the real the shit you been through the trials and tribulations that you have endured and shared. where you are today, the way you try to be that beacon of light and hope to those who are sick out there that are ready to give up can be a fukn movie. I can only pray my brother has found his own (Frank) in Harrisburg.
First of all thank you for sharing part of your story👍🙏i wanted to know how did it make you feel when you guys had No Water or Electricity at times?? Because it made me feel so sad😔and really hurt to the point that i hated my late mother andfather for a minute for being on DRUGS It's really something when you here somebody has gone through alot of the samething's as a child. It really hit home for me. Much love to you and keep doing what your doing. Because it really helps alot of us🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
Thank you 🙏 for your story Frank. Just let’s people know that No 1 is immune to this shit. Hope your story touched n helped someone. Keep fighting the good fight frank. I’m coming up on 2 years clean and you inspired me to start cutting hair helping people here in Pittsburgh. I just gave a few out for the 1st time. I’ve been watching you for about a week. Thank U 🙏
A GOD bless ya! You have a job here on earth and you are doing it well. I know of heroin addiction I was a junkie in the 1960ies and up.I'm in recovery and have been clean for some 26 years. You are truly blessed. My LIGHT with you from a Bronxite who supports you. Most people have NO idea how terrible the streets are and most do not want to know!
God's continued blessings, strength, favor and protection upon you and yours Frank. My brother lost his battle with addiction 8.5 years ago... 1 month to the day before HIS ONLY CHILD WAS BORN.... BUT GOD! I FIND JOY AND HOPE IN YOUR MINISTRY AND THE GREAT WORKS PRODUCED THROUGH YOUR MINISTRY!!! 😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Love your story frank and your videos I’m from Kilmarnock Scotland and we also have a crack and heroin problem it’s horrible to see, but watching your videos makes me realise that not all addicts are bad and most have a story and inside are suffering, so respect to you for showing me this you have a good heart my friend keep up the good work 👌🏴
Thanks for sharing Frank...it's crazy our lives had alot of the same kind things happen. The nightmares my counselor and Dr call them night terrors. When I started getting into trouble and stuff I had to go to therapy and stuff for probation that's when they diagnosed me with PTSD and all kinds of other stuff. Ready for part 2
My grandfather was a reverend as well. He was the first aboriginal person in Australia who who tried to tell white man of our bond with our land in 1969 he started fraternities and I read about him at uni a lot
I’ve been watching your video for a couple days. This really touched me in a different way. I remember going from family member to family member because my mom chose a man and his addiction over her children. That shit still hurts to this day. And honestly coming from a Puerto Rican family, our grandmas just brush it off and tel us thats the way it is. Hearing that at 5-6-7 years old is so tough. I felt unloved, burdened, and a sense of responsibility to fix shit so people wouldn’t talk bad about my mom. And that shit you said about walking into your grandmas house and everybody is high as hell. Yo I felt that. I’ve been drug free for 2 years now and it is the most satisfying thing in the whole world. I used to smoke weed heavy and after my daughter was born it became very hard to be happy if I couldn’t smoke whenever I wanted. It was like when I smoked I was happy and it fkn sucked that without it My body was like going through dopamine withdrawals. I guess not as bad as heroin or crack/cocaine but I am so happy I was able to break the cycle in my family. Thank you Frank for all the compassion and motivation you give us all.
My birthday is Sept 19th also :) Happy Early Birthday!!! Much love to you and everyone doing good in this beautifully fucked up world!! All my positive vibes to you and your fam!!
God has a purpose for everyone and you have found yours. I command you for sharing your story with us, it helps others and also it helps you 👍🏻 Keep it up man, there is greatness in you! 🇵🇷💪🏻🙏🏻
Just found the channel man fucking with it heavy my ass been binge watching haha keep at it. Love from Baltimore. Did you ever make the video on your father? I'm interested in watching that too
Just found your channel. I think it’s great. I’m from Williamsburg BK originally also. The south side is a notorious dope hood. It’s gentrified a lot now, but it’s still a known dope spot. It’s just not as out in the open and in people’s faces.
You've already lived a very eventful life at the age of 9 Frank, that would traumatize and scar any 9 year old child. But as you said you thought it was normality at the time. God bless you Frank, you're an inspiration to MANY! I'm hooked on your channel.
FRANK your awesome and I love the morals over money!!! I am almost a year clean from heroin and that shit ruined my life in 3 months. The hardest part is that I came from a good home and my parents weren't addicted to anything I always told myself I'd never do dope, well I was wrong one day I shot up and that was then end of being sober, after I lost my daughter to cys and almost lost everything I had to run away so I ran and the days to lead of detoxing was horrible but I pushed through it. And thank the lord for his hand and helping me be able to push by the pain of detoxing. But Frank your awesome and a great guy for all you do and thanks for sharing your story well part of if in this video!!! God bless and keep your good work going!
Frank, your an inspiration to me.. I got 3 days clean off of dope at 2 oclock today it'll be day 4.. I've been watching all your videos and they gave me the strength to keep going.. It's been the hardest 3 days of my life I went cold turkey.. Thank you Frank and all the people from the live chat.. You are all an inspiration to me and I thank you all.. GOD BLESS YOU Frank and all the others who gave me positive thoughts and prayed for me.. I'm determined to beat this.. Love you all
Great to hear your story frank. I dont know what it is but its so interesting to watch what you do on camera. There is no other channel like it👍. Congrats on the 11.5k subs
I love your channel! I'm in recovery myself...6 to 7 years of dope addiction. It helps me to hear these stories. Im thinking of starting a blog about my depression, anxiety and addiction. God bless you in your journey! Bendicion
Frank loved the first part of your story can wait for the next part . If you had one wish what would it be? PS when will your story be on 23and 1 God Bless You
You mentioned teen challenge, I went to Teen Challenge, Home of Hope here in Casa Grande Az, amazing recovery program, they have a 90% success rate. I've been clean and sober off opiates and alcohol for 3 years. Teen Challenge is the best thing that could ever happen for me to live. Congrats on your recovery Frank and God bless you for all you do.
Thank you #frank for sharing your story. Look forward to the next parts. I enjoy your vlogs. It's nice to see others who truly care about others. Love sent from Northern California. 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

I can only pray my brother has found his own (Frank) in Harrisburg.
First of all thank you for sharing part of your story👍🙏i wanted to know how did it make you feel when you guys had No Water or Electricity at times?? Because it made me feel so sad😔and really hurt to the point that i hated my late mother andfather for a minute for being on DRUGS It's really something when you here somebody has gone through alot of the samething's as a child. It really hit home for me. Much love to you and keep doing what your doing. Because it really helps alot of us🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
Thank you 🙏 for your story Frank. Just let’s people know that No 1 is immune to this shit. Hope your story touched n helped someone. Keep fighting the good fight frank. I’m coming up on 2 years clean and you inspired me to start cutting hair helping people here in Pittsburgh. I just gave a few out for the 1st time. I’ve been watching you for about a week. Thank U 🙏
A GOD bless ya! You have a job here on earth and you are doing it well. I know of heroin addiction I was a junkie in the 1960ies and up.I'm in recovery and have been clean for some 26 years. You are truly blessed. My LIGHT with you from a Bronxite who supports you. Most people have NO idea how terrible the streets are and most do not want to know!

I Liked and subscribed, loved ur story on Deaths channel, U seem real and like u changed ur life around,and I want to hear this movie man,you need a book deal man. You could do either start hear and grow,tell your story,and u will definitely grow,people want the raw but want a happy ending. Kind of like Jake Leone check him out his story is amazing,he got a book deal out also. You got this and good LUCK, you have any close calls,where was u or them?

Love your story frank and your videos I’m from Kilmarnock Scotland and we also have a crack and heroin problem it’s horrible to see, but watching your videos makes me realise that not all addicts are bad and most have a story and inside are suffering, so respect to you for showing me this you have a good heart my friend keep up the good work 👌🏴
Thanks for sharing Frank. Keep up the good work.
I don't know you but I respect you.You are a fighter keep help the people and love your family.
*Peace and one love young King, shout out to my Boricuas* ✌🏾❤️🤴🏾
Thanks for sharing Frank...it's crazy our lives had alot of the same kind things happen. The nightmares my counselor and Dr call them night terrors. When I started getting into trouble and stuff I had to go to therapy and stuff for probation that's when they diagnosed me with PTSD and all kinds of other stuff. Ready for part 2
My grandfather was a reverend as well. He was the first aboriginal person in Australia who who tried to tell white man of our bond with our land in 1969 he started fraternities and I read about him at uni a lot
I’ve been watching your video for a couple days. This really touched me in a different way. I remember going from family member to family member because my mom chose a man and his addiction over her children. That shit still hurts to this day. And honestly coming from a Puerto Rican family, our grandmas just brush it off and tel us thats the way it is. Hearing that at 5-6-7 years old is so tough. I felt unloved, burdened, and a sense of responsibility to fix shit so people wouldn’t talk bad about my mom. And that shit you said about walking into your grandmas house and everybody is high as hell. Yo I felt that. I’ve been drug free for 2 years now and it is the most satisfying thing in the whole world. I used to smoke weed heavy and after my daughter was born it became very hard to be happy if I couldn’t smoke whenever I wanted. It was like when I smoked I was happy and it fkn sucked that without it My body was like going through dopamine withdrawals. I guess not as bad as heroin or crack/cocaine but I am so happy I was able to break the cycle in my family. Thank you Frank for all the compassion and motivation you give us all.
Thank u very much for your words of support and sharing that with me life is so much better on this side. Stay strong and focused
My birthday is Sept 19th also :)
Happy Early Birthday!!!
Much love to you and everyone doing good in this beautifully fucked up world!!

Great storie brother everyone has something different
Just found the channel man fucking with it heavy my ass been binge watching haha keep at it. Love from Baltimore. Did you ever make the video on your father? I'm interested in watching that too
I loved hearing the first part of your story. Can’t wait for the second part. 😊🙏🏼❤️ Much luv! 💯
Just found your channel. I think it’s great. I’m from Williamsburg BK originally also. The south side is a notorious dope hood. It’s gentrified a lot now, but it’s still a known dope spot. It’s just not as out in the open and in people’s faces.
You've already lived a very eventful life at the age of 9 Frank, that would traumatize and scar any 9 year old child. But as you said you thought it was normality at the time. God bless you Frank, you're an inspiration to MANY! I'm hooked on your channel.
FRANK your awesome and I love the morals over money!!! I am almost a year clean from heroin and that shit ruined my life in 3 months. The hardest part is that I came from a good home and my parents weren't addicted to anything I always told myself I'd never do dope, well I was wrong one day I shot up and that was then end of being sober, after I lost my daughter to cys and almost lost everything I had to run away so I ran and the days to lead of detoxing was horrible but I pushed through it. And thank the lord for his hand and helping me be able to push by the pain of detoxing. But Frank your awesome and a great guy for all you do and thanks for sharing your story well part of if in this video!!! God bless and keep your good work going!
Frank, your an inspiration to me.. I got 3 days clean off of dope at 2 oclock today it'll be day 4.. I've been watching all your videos and they gave me the strength to keep going.. It's been the hardest 3 days of my life I went cold turkey.. Thank you Frank and all the people from the live chat.. You are all an inspiration to me and I thank you all.. GOD BLESS YOU Frank and all the others who gave me positive thoughts and prayed for me.. I'm determined to beat this.. Love you all
Keep pushing brother be proud and don’t look back.
