There's something about you that lets me know you're a good guy. I know that sounds generic, but I can tell that you're just an honest guy trying to make it, just like a lot of us. God bless ya, bro
Your ok in my eyes. Be safe out there. I love what you do. Sometimes I go with my son and I love it. Besides I get to spend time with my son. Which I love.❤😊
I love the Mutant Turtles , I watched the original when it first came out back in the day , But I like your channel cause your a blue collar working man while doing TH-cam , You deserve to upgrade to at least a mini van in the future , wish well in your future endeavors
There is nothing more beautiful than seeing someone rebuilding their life. The display of pure courage, strength, positivity, efforts, sacrifices, hope, and motivation when countless things are against you is truly incredible. Wishing you all the best, brother. You are doing great! You have got this!!!
I am 8 months sober now after years of struggling. What you said about getting rid of the shame and guilt really hit home. I wish you strength on your journey.
Handing it up to GOD IS EVERYTHING. I’m not alcoholic but I’ve obsessed over my problems and it got me nowhere. I recommitted my life to Christ and a strong prayer life which is consistent. No matter what my problems are I now have peace bc instead of obsessing on the situation I obsess on prayer. It’s a game changer.
We ALL have certain compulsive addictions...mine is mostly food...harder to totally kick overeating, because you have to eat!...with heroin/booze, you do not have to take that stuff, but with food, you gotta consume!...I am so glad, that you are defeating your addiction!
Congratulations on your 8 month sobriety! That’s awesome. You being in your son’s life is so important. Especially at his age. Children need all the love their hearts can hold. Stay safe, be encouraged and God bless you.
@@brenpgrace Hi Bren new subscriber, I was happy to hear that I am not the only one who likes winter a lot more then summer! Whenever fall comes around my spirits always seem lifted and when people ask me why I like winter so much I tell them during the summer you can only take so much off and still be sweaty but during winter you can always pile clothes on and get warm. My 2nd husband who is also an Irishman is almost 20 years sober from alcohol and pain killers. He hit bottom when he died and EMT'S brought him back that was when he knew he was done and he changed his life around completely. Please remember we find peace and happiness from within ourselves not from what we may or may not have! Stay strong and take one day at a time and you will get there I know you will! God Bless You.
It’s very refreshing to have a content creator be honest about why they decided to live in their car. Most other YT car life creators are full of BS and really are not up front. Thank you - I personally appreciate that. God bless you, I hope you continue to have blessings in your life.
I grew up the daughter of an alcoholic. He never had the courage to try to stop and died young at 56. I sincerely applaud you for recognizing your addiction and working on it. God has strength enough for all of us, may He bless you. Continue to seek Him. You are in my prayers. I subscribed. Kathleen
Same. My dad’s dr told him for a long time he had to stop drinking. He refused as it was his coping mechanism with back pain (an injury he sustained at work), my mom leaving decades prior,& some other life stuff. He remarried but I don’t think he ever got over my mom abandoning us. He got to where he couldn’t absorb nutrients & he died in 2016 at 60 when his pancreas gave out. My grandma went the following summer & life has done a 360 since. I lived out of my car for 6 months. I did have 2-3 homes beforehand when I was forced out of my grandmas house. went through an abusive relationship, had surgeries in 2021 then eviction. It took me 6 months to go from houseless to signing my lease. I’ve been in my home for 2 years I think 8/1. Changed trades. I work for the state now on days rather than healthcare. Physically I have challenges but I can’t begin to say how grateful I am for the journey I’ve come through. It took hard work and the grace of God that it was 6 months but I was always safe. I never froze nor starved. I have virtually no support system but I got through it.
Now that your channel is growing, please don't address the haters to come. Don't give them the pleasure of your attention. Keep it moving, take it one day at a time and CONGRATULATIONS!!🥳🥳❤
In 2020 I ditched hotels. Now I camp in my 2-door Jeep Wrangler, sans back seats. I've never gotten The Knock. I don't black out the front windows - I hang a black curtain across the back of the front seats. The RV community has a lot more suggestions on where to park at night. Pro Bass Shops comes to mind. New subscriber. Thanx for your videos!
I was just scrolling through TH-cam, looking for car or van life videos. This is my first time watching your video (4/22/24). Once you mentioned your struggles with alcohol, I started praying to God for deliverance and recovery for you. Than to hear you say, you finally gave your life to God, I was sooo OVERJOYED!!! You’re not by yourself brother. No matter the life choices or mistakes, NO Weapons formed against you will prosper!! Congratulations on your great sobriety accomplishment!!!🎉. I’m so proud of you!!! Keep fighting the good fight of Faith!!! We got your back in prayer!!!🙏🏾 New subbie👍🏾
I wanted to tell you that this is the first video I've seen of this sort that actually gave me hope. The reason, i believe is that it did actually feel completely honest & open. I adore your lounge. The fact that you stay in the area more for the sake of being a father to your son is so very refreshing! Congratulations on your sober time, i wish you continued success, i hope life just keeps getting better for you. So happy for you.....And your son! Thank you so much for the good clear information and the links! You gave me hope and i sorely needed that this night!
I love your honesty. Our Lord is so merciful! I’m a grandmother with a grandson that has struggled with abuse. He too is living his best life now. Praise God. I found your videos this evening and became a subscriber. Stay safe. If you slip, just stand up straight and begin anew. God Bless you sweetheart.
Which God? The God of the Christianity religion is a fake god. Islam will prevail and sharia will be supreme law. Allah overthrew USA-led occupation of Afganistan and today women are banned from education and work.
I’m in recovery too. Celebrated 15 years in November. So I feel you so much. The realization that gave me escape velocity is that addiction is like schizophrenia. It’s a little voice in your head that lies to you and says whatever it takes to make you fail. Once I learned isolate that voice, I was able to ignore it, kind of like a schizophrenic lives with imagined people and must learn to identify and ignore them.
Father time is so important you are on a good track I asked God to help me quit smoking 35 years I smoked 7 yrs now I don't smoke I'm so glad I did that for my self Do it for you bren 😊
Hi Bren, I just found your channel and I am so happy to hear that you turned your life over to God. He will never leave you nor forsake you and is so faithful. I know that you are protected and loved more than you will ever know. God bless you abundantly
Seriously respect you! For facing your demons, and being a responsible loving father of your son. Be proud. With your strength,hopefully in the future you can help others in their journey. God bless.

This great grandmother so enjoys following you young folks who have found your armor, and are stepping in a direction that brings you peace and purpose.

Hey there, Bren. I'm a new subscriber since last week. I agree with @shaunfossett there is something about you that lets me know that you are a genuine down to earth person. You have a funny sense of humor when you're picking up those orders. I stumbled onto your channel last week and have binged watched all of your videos. Who knew that watching a guy picking up and delivering food orders could be so relaxing.🙂
His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Hang in there bro. We all have our faults. Sometimes they are there for a reason. Proud of your commitment to sobriety. You won't regret it! I've enjoyed hearing your story and also your attitude. You will go places! Sending love and prayers from Aus! xoxo

Your life is turning around and thats what is important....look forward and learn from the past ....you are a hard worker and you are well on your way to a successful future ❤️🙏..its great that you are a hands on father
Enjoyed this Q&A. I didn't realize how much I've already learned about you in the few videos I've watched since subscribing. 😊 I'm the opposite of you when it comes to loving temperatures. I prefer it to be warm because I can cool down, but can't stand cold. I never seem to be able to warm up. 🥶 Cracked up at the "fellas" in the lounge! 🤣🤣 I love your sense of humor. Lastly, I've been a Christian pretty much all my life. The way you talk about your relationship with God lines up with my experience. I love that you put into words exactly how I feel. Sometimes, the way you nail it is a great reminder that increases my gratitude and joy when I think about the truth of how God operates in my own life and circumstances 🤗🙌🏿🙌🏿 Tracey from San Diego, California
Big congrats on 8 months of sobriety!!!! I have 2 years and 3 months sober from drugs and alcohol and this has been the longest ive been sober; also I have lived in my car for a period in my sobriety and worked full time so I know how that is....anyways keep up the good work!
Hey Bren I appreciate your honesty. As a former alcoholic myself, I could not quit on my own and ask Jesus Christ to help me. I was supernaturally healed of alcoholism and now I do outreach to help others through the power in Christ. I use the Biblical 12 step program. It change my life and freed me from guilt and alcohol. Proud of you Bren Keep up the good fight. Never let the enemy win. God bless you, buddy.
Hi there, Thank you for your wonderful video content. I am a new subscriber and have watched 3 of your videos now. Congratulations on your 8 months sobriety. I am so proud of you for your strength and courage to change your life. My father was also an alcoholic and it destroys people around you. It's great that you've found God to help you. It's great that you want to stay close to your son. I too have a Subaru outback car, and setting up a glamping car for weekend outings with my beautiful cat. It's great to see how you set up your car. I have containers full of everything we need. Just have the mattress to go in and to finish making my reflectics. I'm excited and a bit nervous at the same time.
Do you mention you are “a Quaker” because you feel that gives you a type of moral street cred? This is an honest question- not a diss. It just seems weird. I can’t imagine someone saying “I am Baptist from Canada” before a comment unless I feel I am of a higher moral ground- which is not very Quaker of you. Just saying.
Okay Bren. I subscribed, then unsubscribedn now subscribed again. I admire and respect your determination to conquer the drinking addiction. Your most important 1st step was asking God into your life! With His help and guidance, amazing things will begin to happen, like 136k views! I am 73 yrs. old and just a gentle request to go lightly on the 4 letter words. I used to say sh.t all the time until my precious grandsons were born, then decided to clean up my act. You are in my prayers! I love your soothing voice and the Ninja gang are cute! God Bless!
There are many golden bits related to your channel. I’ll pick one. Your attention to detail sets a good example for your viewers. The way you organize your car is outstanding. The favorite of mine, though, is how you document your finances, take what you earn, and allocate specific amounts to car expenses, food, etc. Keeping your records in such detail is so helpful towards peace of mind. You’re doing great. Best wishes.
Years ago I worked overnights in a grocery store... The most common items that people came into buy at midnight.... Soda/Coke.... Pizza.... Pet Food.... Cuz when you forget the Pet food.... They will keep you up All Night.... I Always wish you & your son the best.... Thanks for Sharing...
Hey Bren! Wife and I came across a couple of your videos tonight and really enjoyed them. Nice production! Best of luck with your channel man, and congrats on your progress with everything you shared. I decided to stealth camp once recently in our Pathfinder because of an early appt that was a couple hours away. Really enjoyed it! Was inspired by another guy I’ve seen on TH-cam, Steve Wallis. I think his channel is @campingwithsteve? Wasn’t easy my first time, but thought of several things once I got parked that will make the next time better.
I’m a non American and I really love your videos and I am person who really loves English language the way you speak it makes my heart melted hopefully one day I speak the way you speak…and also not to forget I really love your video friend so much love and respect 🤝♥️
👍Bren you're a inspiration When you let go of a bad habit You have to find something to replace it with You're on the right tract God bless! Love the fireplace and window seals Good you make time for your son I find your content peaceful and relaxing People resonate with you Thanks for sharing and your honesty Stay safe and well
Just came across your channel and want to offer you a huge, huge congratulations in staying sober for 8 months. I'm a former gambling addict and your story reflects my own. As you say keep the train moving and things will get better. Absolutely brilliant channel. Keep it going.
All the best to you. TH-cam suggested it, so here I am. I’m 70 and I haven’t had a drink in 20 years. Yes, it started becoming a problem and I couldn’t just have a “social drink”. I would just drink to excess. I just found that for my own good and the good of my family I just had to stop. My life hasn’t been as tough as yours but you’re an inspiration to me.
Been watching you for a couple weeks. I dig your positive attitude and you hitting the grind everyday. Nothing but respect for that. Keep your head up and get after that paper. Stay safe out there man.
I absolutely adore you Bren. I really look forward to your new videos every day now so happy I found you. You have such a great attitude and I love what you’re doing. Thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤
Keep it up, Bren! So glad you found God. And you are honorable for staying in your son's life. AND, I seem to be in the minority with my friends and family here in Texas, but I LOVE the winter! I went to college in Bristol, RI, in the early 90s and lived on Cape Cod for three years, then moved to CA and back to my home state of TX years later. I hope to live up north again before the end of my life. 🙂 Best wishes for you!
Screech!!!! you've never had Thai food?! Start with Pad Thai.... Your sobriety is hard won! What an ongoing accomplishment..... that is a great life choice.
You have such a huge morale, giving the situation that you re in... Many people would simply collapse mentally if they were to go through such hardships, such as losing the house.. May God keep you safe until you make it back to your normal life ❤Keep fighting!
Dude addiction is a big bitch been there done that, lm proud of you, keep up the good work, l lost my kids in the 80s bc of addiction and over the last 25 years we've worked on our relationship ♥️ and it's great now but the damage l did was so great and can never be repaired so hold on tight to your son, stay safe and God bless ❤❤❤
Amen to the winter brother. I lived in my car at Walmart for 2 years down here in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Winter time you sleep deep and like an exhausted baby, summer time- miserable utterly miserable. People who've never experienced living in their car simply can't know or understand: they think that logically it's better to sleep in your car in the summer time - WRONG.
Hey Bren, just found your channel by accident and immediately subscribed. I slept in my car for a few weeks at age 23 due to losing my way as well. Love your story, perseverance, and willingness to share your journey and struggles with us. That takes a lot of courage. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures and know we are all with you on your journey. God Bless and much love from Canada brother.
I have learned some about you! I am proud that you are in your son's life that is a great Dad as so many are not in their children's lives. Good for you 8 months and 6 days. Congratulations! I love the cold myself was homeless for 2 years. It definitely changes a person!
Congratulations Sobriety is where it’s at and hopefully it doesn’t take you 51 years to get a full 365 like it took Me!! Stay Strong Brother and live Your Life the Best You can!!!!
Found your channel yesterday. Lucky to get the Q&A in the second video we saw. Love to see your hustle and it's great to hear about your sobriety and your devotion to your son. We'll be watching.
Recovering addict due to doc prescriptions, dose got higher and caught up with me too . Several attempts and failures . I found strength by changing my mindset and like a light bulb went off I just kept going . stopped completely struggled first few years with urges but now I never think abt it . I hate heat too I’m Scotland it’s always cold here . Hats off you too addiction isn’t biased who it clings too
Im in West Texas and we get down to 4F in winter and over 100F in summer. Literally 6 months winter and 6 months summer. We don't have spring and fall.....people aren't usually familiar with western Texas because Texas is like 1000 miles from end to end.
I hope that you have concord your addiction it is our weakness, but once you get over it, then you put right lots of things, but most importantly, you will feel a lot better with yourself, and for yourself, with God's help you will be ok, but keep on the good work.
Love you bro! Not like that but I love the man you are. I wish I had done what your doing 18 years ago after my wife left with my kids and left me alone and depressed 😔. Who knows where I'd be now but probably in a better place than I am now. 😢 thanks for your transparency. It helps my day to day struggles.
I'm so proud of you please don't give up you can make it one day at a time. Trust in God to see you through this tuff time. God loves you. We all are cheering for you. ❤
Congratulations on your sobriety man! Your journey will hopefully inspire others to lean into sobriety. I just discovered your channel recently and have really enjoyed your journey and wisdom. Keep up the great work!
I am really enjoying your channel. I love your dedication to your son. I quit drinking 19 months ago and it really made a difference in my life. The culture that makes alcohol seems so normal negatively impacts on so many people and it’s not until we step outside the influence that we can see how much better we are with a clear head. good luck in your endeavors and I will continue following your channel. I even watch the commercials in the hopes that it give you a little extra.
There's something about you that lets me know you're a good guy. I know that sounds generic, but I can tell that you're just an honest guy trying to make it, just like a lot of us. God bless ya, bro
That is exactly how I feel. He has a beautiful heart.
I felt the same while I watched one of his videos for the first time. I instantly subscribed. Just the energy through the screen is warming.
Your ok in my eyes. Be safe out there. I love what you do. Sometimes I go with my son and I love it. Besides I get to spend time with my son. Which I love.❤😊
I was thinking the exact opposite, being a LEO something just feels off with this dude
I love the Mutant Turtles , I watched the original when it first came out back in the day , But I like your channel cause your a blue collar working man while doing TH-cam , You deserve to upgrade to at least a mini van in the future , wish well in your future endeavors

Kind words, thank you!

Sometimes, the way you nail it is a great reminder that increases my gratitude and joy when I think about the truth of how God operates in my own life and circumstances 🤗🙌🏿🙌🏿 Tracey from San Diego, California
Big congrats on 8 months of sobriety!!!! I have 2 years and 3 months sober from drugs and alcohol and this has been the longest ive been sober; also I have lived in my car for a period in my sobriety and worked full time so I know how that is....anyways keep up the good work!
Congrats on your 2 years and 3 months, keep going one day at a time❤
Congrats on sobriety. Early days box mine deeply rooted in Rhode island. 3/4/91 just celebrated 33 years.
Hey Bren I appreciate your honesty. As a former alcoholic myself, I could not quit on my own and ask Jesus Christ to help me. I was supernaturally healed of alcoholism and now I do outreach to help others through the power in Christ. I use the Biblical 12 step program. It change my life and freed me from guilt and alcohol. Proud of you Bren Keep up the good fight. Never let the enemy win. God bless you, buddy.
Wow 136k views on the previous video, kudos man!
Your authenticity and vulnerability in sharing your life is so awesome to see! I’m a part time gig worker also and enjoy watching you work 😊
Thank you !
Hi there, Thank you for your wonderful video content. I am a new subscriber and have watched 3 of your videos now. Congratulations on your 8 months sobriety. I am so proud of you for your strength and courage to change your life. My father was also an alcoholic and it destroys people around you. It's great that you've found God to help you. It's great that you want to stay close to your son. I too have a Subaru outback car, and setting up a glamping car for weekend outings with my beautiful cat. It's great to see how you set up your car. I have containers full of everything we need. Just have the mattress to go in and to finish making my reflectics. I'm excited and a bit nervous at the same time.
Thanks, I wish you all the best!
I'm a Quaker from England. I'm 72 years old. I admire you so very much. God bless you.
Do you mention you are “a Quaker” because you feel that gives you a type of moral street cred? This is an honest question- not a diss. It just seems weird. I can’t imagine someone saying “I am Baptist from Canada” before a comment unless I feel I am of a higher moral ground- which is not very Quaker of you. Just saying.
Okay Bren. I subscribed, then unsubscribedn now subscribed again. I admire and respect your determination to conquer the drinking addiction. Your most important 1st step was asking God into your life! With His help and guidance, amazing things will begin to happen, like 136k views! I am 73 yrs. old and just a gentle request to go lightly on the 4 letter words. I used to say sh.t all the time until my precious grandsons were born, then decided to clean up my act. You are in my prayers! I love your soothing voice and the Ninja gang are cute! God Bless!
I’m a new follower and impressed by a lot of things but right now, it’s your organization. ❤
Amen..God is the answer. 8 months!! That's definitely something to be proud of.. Keep going! One day at a time. 🖤🖤❤️
Great video! Thanks for teaching others you ca n be successful in sobriety.
Wow 8 months free from drinking, thank God, you turned it over to the right one (God)❤
There are many golden bits related to your channel. I’ll pick one. Your attention to detail sets a good example for your viewers. The way you organize your car is outstanding. The favorite of mine, though, is how you document your finances, take what you earn, and allocate specific amounts to car expenses, food, etc. Keeping your records in such detail is so helpful towards peace of mind. You’re doing great. Best wishes.
Years ago I worked overnights in a grocery store...
The most common items that people came into buy at midnight....
Soda/Coke.... Pizza.... Pet Food....
Cuz when you forget the Pet food....
They will keep you up All Night....
I Always wish you & your son the best....
Thanks for Sharing...
Hey Bren! Wife and I came across a couple of your videos tonight and really enjoyed them. Nice production! Best of luck with your channel man, and congrats on your progress with everything you shared. I decided to stealth camp once recently in our Pathfinder because of an early appt that was a couple hours away. Really enjoyed it! Was inspired by another guy I’ve seen on TH-cam, Steve Wallis. I think his channel is @campingwithsteve? Wasn’t easy my first time, but thought of several things once I got parked that will make the next time better.
You learn something new every time, thank you for the super thanks Brandon!
🙏🏾 congratulations thanks for showing me how I can turn things around, mind set😊
Good for you on your 8 months sobriety!!! And your love of God, family and life!!! You deserve it.
I’m a non American and I really love your videos and I am person who really loves English language the way you speak it makes my heart melted hopefully one day I speak the way you speak…and also not to forget I really love your video friend so much love and respect 🤝♥️
God is good!I'm a snow baby. congratulations, On being sober.
👍Bren you're a inspiration When you let go of a bad habit You have to find something to replace it with You're on the right tract God bless! Love the fireplace and window seals Good you make time for your son I find your content peaceful and relaxing People resonate with you Thanks for sharing and your honesty Stay safe and well
Loving the videos. Glad you are getting some recognition ❤ We just can’t get enough of you!
Fuck yeah dude!!! I too am an alcoholic. Comming up 6 months. Thanks for your vids ❤
Just came across your channel and want to offer you a huge, huge congratulations in staying sober for 8 months. I'm a former gambling addict and your story reflects my own. As you say keep the train moving and things will get better. Absolutely brilliant channel. Keep it going.
All the best to you. TH-cam suggested it, so here I am. I’m 70 and I haven’t had a drink in 20 years. Yes, it started becoming a problem and I couldn’t just have a “social drink”. I would just drink to excess. I just found that for my own good and the good of my family I just had to stop. My life hasn’t been as tough as yours but you’re an inspiration to me.
Been watching you for a couple weeks. I dig your positive attitude and you hitting the grind everyday. Nothing but respect for that. Keep your head up and get after that paper. Stay safe out there man.
I absolutely adore you Bren. I really look forward to your new videos every day now so happy I found you. You have such a great attitude and I love what you’re doing. Thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤
Keep it up, Bren! So glad you found God. And you are honorable for staying in your son's life. AND, I seem to be in the minority with my friends and family here in Texas, but I LOVE the winter! I went to college in Bristol, RI, in the early 90s and lived on Cape Cod for three years, then moved to CA and back to my home state of TX years later. I hope to live up north again before the end of my life. 🙂 Best wishes for you!
Screech!!!! you've never had Thai food?! Start with Pad Thai....
Your sobriety is hard won! What an ongoing accomplishment..... that is a great life choice.
Your videos are a nice combo of groovy music, talking, and showing what you do and who you are! Very enjoyable 😊
I appreciate that!
God in your corner FOR THE WIN ❤️ Much respect for you brother. I’m ferociously rooting for you! Praying for you 🙏
I ferociously thank you!
You just made my day!
You have such a huge morale, giving the situation that you re in... Many people would simply collapse mentally if they were to go through such hardships, such as losing the house.. May God keep you safe until you make it back to your normal life ❤Keep fighting!
I needed inspiration today so I watched a few of your videos and now I’m right as rain. Please keep doing what you are doing cause it’s important!
I'm so glad!
Dude addiction is a big bitch been there done that, lm proud of you, keep up the good work, l lost my kids in the 80s bc of addiction and over the last 25 years we've worked on our relationship ♥️ and it's great now but the damage l did was so great and can never be repaired so hold on tight to your son, stay safe and God bless ❤❤❤
Amen to the winter brother. I lived in my car at Walmart for 2 years down here in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Winter time you sleep deep and like an exhausted baby, summer time- miserable utterly miserable. People who've never experienced living in their car simply can't know or understand: they think that logically it's better to sleep in your car in the summer time - WRONG.
Just found your content yesterday. You have that "thing", whatever it is, that makes watching you do mundane things very enjoyable. Great videos, man!
Well then I’ll keep the mundane coming! Thanks
Hey Bren, just found your channel by accident and immediately subscribed. I slept in my car for a few weeks at age 23 due to losing my way as well. Love your story, perseverance, and willingness to share your journey and struggles with us. That takes a lot of courage. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures and know we are all with you on your journey. God Bless and much love from Canada brother.
🍁 thank you!
congratulations drinking is a tough beast to win, God is always good to have in your corner, Praise God Amen
Bro you seem like a good, genuine person. Appreciate your honesty and letting us watch you hustle. Respect.
I appreciate that
You’re a good man. Keep fighting the good fight. You got this dude ❤️
Thank you, I will
I have learned some about you! I am proud that you are in your son's life that is a great Dad as so many are not in their children's lives. Good for you 8 months and 6 days. Congratulations! I love the cold myself was homeless for 2 years. It definitely changes a person!
Congratulations Sobriety is where it’s at and hopefully it doesn’t take you 51 years to get a full 365 like it took Me!! Stay Strong Brother and live Your Life the Best You can!!!!
You did it right. I will be praying for you during your journey.
Completely understand! Thanks for GOD! You’ll get there. A lot of Beatles in there. 😂👊🏼 God bless and thanks for sharing.

Found your channel yesterday. Lucky to get the Q&A in the second video we saw. Love to see your hustle and it's great to hear about your sobriety and your devotion to your son. We'll be watching.

You welcome
Just found you. Kate Singh’s channel recommended ya. I lived in RI for years and years before I moved around the world. So cool to watch ya.
The best decision you did was embrace God......
A person with no God it's nothing...
Keep up the good job.. my friend.... God bless you
8 months sober! Well done! Sending you all the best wishes from Germany!
Im in West Texas and we get down to 4F in winter and over 100F in summer. Literally 6 months winter and 6 months summer. We don't have spring and fall.....people aren't usually familiar with western Texas because Texas is like 1000 miles from end to end.
Thank you for your positivity Bren we need it now.
Praying for all of your next sober days. Be safe. ❤
😊thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
I hope that you have concord your addiction it is our weakness, but once you get over it, then you put right lots of things, but most importantly, you will feel a lot better with yourself, and for yourself, with God's help you will be ok, but keep on the good work.
Love you bro! Not like that but I love the man you are. I wish I had done what your doing 18 years ago after my wife left with my kids and left me alone and depressed 😔. Who knows where I'd be now but probably in a better place than I am now. 😢 thanks for your transparency. It helps my day to day struggles.
Love your choice in music! Keep it up the good work.
I'm so proud of you please don't give up you can make it one day at a time. Trust in God to see you through this tuff time. God loves you. We all are cheering for you. ❤
Congratulations on your sobriety man! Your journey will hopefully inspire others to lean into sobriety. I just discovered your channel recently and have really enjoyed your journey and wisdom. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on being sober, many people have the same problem. Best of luck, continue Blessings!
I am really enjoying your channel. I love your dedication to your son. I quit drinking 19 months ago and it really made a difference in my life. The culture that makes alcohol seems so normal negatively impacts on so many people and it’s not until we step outside the influence that we can see how much better we are with a clear head. good luck in your endeavors and I will continue following your channel. I even watch the commercials in the hopes that it give you a little extra.
