  • Mental health, heroin, addiction to the extreme. Perseverance, persistence and sometimes traumatic failure. All of this led up to last night. Can't wait to tell you what happened!!

    Thank you for this message today. It's been a downer of a day. Really good words to hear. I am so glad you got to do stand-up again. I would love to see one of your sets if you ever take the stage regularly again. Good for you!!! Really proud of you.

      Hi Stephanie, just now getting to last week's comments, but I'm glad time has passed and I hope you are feeling better and having better days as well. I'm proud of me too, it was nutty to be back onstage, but it was worth it.

    Oh Max, I am so proud of you.
    You've come so far.
    And I for one am so grateful you are here.
    Like you said, you hit that brick wall and you kept going.❤

      Finally getting to this comment! And thank you Aundrea. I'm proud of me too, it hasn't been easy all the time, but it has always been worth it. Hope you're doing well and had a good Easter :)

    Good for you, dude. Sounds like a good time. After such a break, I would be nervous.

      Thanks brother. I was a little bit, but it was fun to do, and really felt like an achievement.

    Ooof...much needed words...I'm so glad you finally got to a place where you got to do standup again! :) :)

      Glad they came at a good time :) And me too, while I don't think it's going to be a weekly thing, that's happening because life is fulfilling and full, not because I don't love it.

      Thank you for this. :) Really appreciate the support. Stuff is going pretty well, and looks like it will continue to if I keep putting one foot in front of the other. Hope stuff on your end is going good as well! :)

    I have been binge watching your videos and i have to say that you are really inspirational. Especially how you have accepted yourself and your past and extend the kindness and compassion towards other people. It is very easy to get bitter and shame ourselves for our mistakes, but mercy towards ourselves and others is such an important thing and it is the only way for us to grow. Keep up the amazing work!

      Hey lida!! That is so, so awesome to read. Thank you. I did spend some time being bitter, and the majority of my time pre-prison while still in active addiction were the angriest years of my life(so far, lol, hopefully they stay that way). But with some work, and time, it definitely has been freeing to recover from those resentments and try to work toward personal growth and prison reform. Thank you again, makes me feel so happy to read things like this. Take care, and be well!

    Oh Max,I'm so excited and happy for you. I think that's absolutely wonderful, that you can finally see ur life changing ,after having worked for it. Its rewarding. I agree,persistence is so important. My life isn't the greatest everyday, but I'm so thankful just to be alive, so I get it I do. Cause I now know, things can be so much worse. Thank you so much for the video sweetie 🤗💕

      Hi Candice :) I know you have also been through emotional ringer with what you've told me about previously. I'm also glad that you have overcome and are enjoying life most days, and being grateful even on the tough ones. :)

      @@MaxHaddad thank you max. Yes,being grateful,is something that took me many years to even truly understand. I didn't realize how important it is in ones life. Even though I knew that I should be, until I went through some really dark days,did I appreciate it. And for someone who has addiction issues medical issues, and depression, being even just grateful to be alive is something that I had to learn,if that makes any sense. I guess its basically the same as counting ones blessings. It's really easier said than done,but so important. 💕

    Its possible to keep moving when you find the brick wall isnt a brick room but a brick maze

    You should look up Police captain Peter Whittingham from LAPD visits Finland, Sweden and Norway. Those video are interesting.

    If you could talk to the 15-year-old Max, what would you say to him?

      Hey Momma :) We talked about this the other day, but I'll make a video on it soon :) (This is my real mother)
