After a tumultuous situation, Danny turned to drugs to cope resulting in the fall of many of his relationships, his music career and ultimately sending him down the darkest path of his life. Danny shares the realities of drug addiction and how it should be treated like an illness and offers advice on how to support those struggling with addiction. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, we encourage you to seek professional help.

    Coming from someone who has a brother battling addiction, I think it was way too early in Danny’s journey for him to film this and speak on it. I still see the victim card and defensiveness being played and I dont think it warranted. you look around you and see that you’ve lost all these people that you thought were friends and then paint yourself the victim. When an addict is going through what they’re going through, they’re sick. The illness and sickness is extremely contagious to everyone around them. Every single family member/loved one gets sick. Maybe there might have been an underlying problem with these so called friends but I think that whole take from Danny was interesting to say the least and I like how the host called him on it. Also very easy to play the victim card when speaking on his wife moving cross province with their kids “she knew that would make it worst for me”. Okay but what about her? What about everything that you put her through? Just because you’re a functioning addict doesnt make you a great father or partner and it sure as hell doesnt make it not a problem. I really expected to watch this and feel relief in a way and be glad that Danny is on a road to recovery and bettering himself and dont get me wrong I still am… but mans has a long way to go and I genuinely hope he continues and is able to get there.

      He is in such denial, continues to lie and play victim. He needs alot of encouragement in manning up. Once he forgives himself he can start healing.

      Right? Saying they spread lies and that these journalists never reached out for a comment yet CBC did and he replied in an email which is in the courts. He also promised fame to these aspiring artists, which is proven in text message screenshots. Saying his friends left without a reason, they had valid reasons. He’s a compulsive and pathological liar. I know enough women he’s dated and scammed how do you think he got his teeth? Loser
