    Sean has one of the best inspirational and life stories out there and I'm so happy that he was able to get out of addiction and is now able to make amazing videos every week for us talking about movies too much!

    As somebody who isn't straight and was in the lowest phase of my life for the past year dealing with all the bullying and mental abuse, I guess this video of yours was much needed as I am leaving my past life and moving to college in a different city and your video left me with nothing but positivity and optimism. Following you since 2017 back when I could barely speak the English language, your vids kinda helped me to learn it :P

    I’m sharing this with my kids someday. Alcoholism caused my parents to get divorced when I was 5, and from that point on, I made it my moral obligation to never touch a drop, or I would surely see the destruction of relationships around me. Your perspective on failure is spot on, because it is truly life’s greatest teacher. I will never forget the pain that addictions have caused to the people I love

    your the only and my favorite movie reviewer that i watch and i did watch others but they were woke and say that bad movies were good and good movies were bad but you stood out to me and were more of a home viewer than a critic and your channel was really wholesome unlike the others where me and my family can watch. i wait daily for your opinion about something releases and every new information i hear about you i like you more. as a fellow christian i was overjoyed when i heard you were a pastor and everything made sense, thank you sean

    I agree to what you say.. success is messy than people admit. When I realized that I stopped waiting to be perfect and started to work with my messy reality and vowed when I make it which I will, I will say it as it is. I won't pretend I was perfect that is how you "actually" help people

  • @moviefeeder6811

    I'll be completely honest.
    I have never watched an inspirational Sean Chandler life video in full, even as a long-time supporter. However, this was truly emotional and life-changing, for this was extremely relatable and true. Sean isn't just your average critic, he's more than that. Thank you Sean Chandler, and get well soon Liam!

    That was incredibly moving, Sean. I've seen some of your '____ years sober' videos before and they really mean a lot to me. I'm currently battling an addiction (not drug related) and I hope to use this video to remind myself of the good plans God has for me that aren't worth giving up for a bit of temporary pleasure. I sincerely thank you for sharing!

I want to say thank you, Sean. Puts into perspective for me that it's not over until I give up, and to hear what you've said really resonates with me. Love you buddy and I have so much gratitude for what you've been doing with stuff like this. God bless!

As someone with many struggles life is hard, but it is always easier to keep going knowing people who inspire me have also made it through their battles as well. As a young adult in today's world it is very refreshing to see someone with good values and family centered to be getting this recognition since I think we are losing that in today's world.
