Good lad danny from dublin i abused coke and alchol for years constantly fighting .. 2 months clean training consistently. You cant beat waking up fresh on the weekend wen youd normally still be up off your face. I get anxiety thinking about it. Your videos helped me knock it on the head good man 👍
Wow. Not only a great story but an immaculate delivery. You have a powerful message delivery powerfully. Slick, passionate and real. You are definitely a preacher man. Keep up the messages and good luck with your ongoing sobriety.
You have done amazing, your also helping others by giving your story out on hear . Through my job I had in the past I met a lot of addicts ,most lovely people that have took the wrong path in life .lovely family members they have , the worry on their faces when they visited them was heartbreaking. Some had kids they only seen now and then , others had no contact .I listened to there regrets of life choices but they were in deep . Us as care givers had heartbreaking times , they were no relations but we got to know them as the people they were .i hope your journey really stops people going down the road of destruction. There is no thing as a happy addict , they lose what counts in life .keep going Danny live the life you love x
You are a good lad Danny. I’m 46 years old and I’ve given 29 years away to active addiction. I’ve held life together for the last decade - education, career, mortgage, kids, mrs. To the outsider my life is normal, but I’m still an addict. Always will be, using or not. You are an inspiration mate. I wish you all the best, and every success. I’ll follow your progress…we’ll done.
God Bless You Danny!! What a real story and the truth will always prevail. It's so easy to blame everyone else, once you blame yourself, things start to come together. The energy of you is amazing, you would not think it's just 9 months (and please take that as a compliment, you look fresh as and you're energy made me think you'd been clean for years). You'll get that year soon and then year after year. I've been to those lows, sitting in dens with people that have no aims and I was nearly gone!!! I've got an amazing Mrs and 2 kids that I'm now getting myself together for and you've also encouraged me to try NA. You're truth is powerful and your story and energy is so encouraging and inspirational. God Bless You Brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Totally agree to everything you have said mate. Addiction is one tougn addiction to beat. We just have to keep taking each days as in the just for today book.... hope to see you around the rooms mate. Your an inspiration x
Mate…listening to you is like watching the sun rise over the mountains when you thought the cold winters night would never end. You are miles above so many other people who don’t have the courage to be honest and upfront with themselves. God bless you in this life. We’ll said.
I bet your mrs wakes up to the finest english roses scattered around the bedroom to the khazi with a full english breakfast with a fried egg with the yoke shining like the sun in the Dominican republic 🤣🤣
Powerful stuff, Danny, great words. I'm also a recovering addict. Gambling was my poison. This sticks with me also. Years and years of self-loathing trying to beat the dark days but returning to do despicable shit and unable to beat my demons of my best friend, the bookies . After the hard work you described, I finally overcame my addiction, and I now make each day count. Every day, gamble free is good day. Small steps win the race. Keep fighting the fight lad make each day count 👍
I can relate to your story. I remember being in prison and was thinking about my life and everything I did leading up to that moment of self reflection, and I realized this is my life, and I better get used to it because that's where I'm gonna be spending a lot of my life if I didn't make any changes and my way of thinking. I was always playing the victim like it wasn't my fault I was where I was because of others but in reality I was there because I chose to do the things I did and it was my own doing. Once I accepted and took responsibility for my actions, I was able to change my way of thinking and my mentality, but that was easy to do because I had nothing but time to think about things while I was incarcerated and the hard part was when I got out and had to try and keep that same way of thinking and mentality while having all the new freedoms and temptations I started falling back again to my old ways but one day at work I fell off a 3 story building and shattered 25% of my skeleton was actually a blessing in disguise and I took it as a sign from God or some kind of higher power that I needed to slow down and get back on track because I was on a one way route to going back to prison but that accident slowed me down and again I had a lot of time to think and reflect on everything I was doing again so I made the changes and stopped hanging out with the people I was hanging out with and doing the things I was doing because at the end of the day they weren't my real friends and they didn't have my best interests in mind. Time is our most precious commodity because you can't get time back no matter how much money and power you have, and I decided I was done wasting my time being in jail or prison being away from my family and loved ones. You have to want it to make the changes it's not just gonna happen. You have to make it happen. Thank you for your video today, Danny it made me think about my journey, and it made me reflect on my past and every once in a while we should reflect on our past to help remind us how far we've came and all the self growth we've made.
Tell you what Danny , it’s your honesty that sets you apart , I’m sure lots of people out there relate to the things you talk about … you are quite inspirational to listen to and I for one look forward to you’re new posts and enjoy everyone of them - keep on the straight , keep training , and enjoy the fruits of your labour - looking forward to your next fight and win mate Thankyou Danny K
Same progression as me soft drugs upto the hard, we don't even realise until we get older the damage we're doing, when your a young starting out we're invincible we're never gonna die!! But taking drugs like we have at such a young age our brains don't develop as it should, im 47 but I still feel 20 in my head im only just taking responsibility for my life, caring for my family and loved one's and I love it. I just wished I'd started at the age of 20! Respect to ya brother you look well laa! Billy Moore is my personal N A. 💥👊👍
Your not alone mr c .,i once went out for milk when married came back 3 days later when i came back i got cracked over the head with a heavy broom so off i went again ..... congratulations fella, changing self is the hardest fight..
Them mirrors make awesome line senders under doors in deerbolt 😂 thanks for the videos too.. I'm only a couple of days in again but I'm feeling determined. Changed my routine, up at 8.. got to be done! Time for change. Thanks again.
Super proud of you Danny lad you haven’t just changed yourself brother you have changed me And I believe many more for the better in every way I am eight months clean from class A going on three months off the weed and it’s you I have two thank sincerely for that you are an inspiration God bless you brother🙏🏻☘️💚☘️
It’s an amazing journey your on Danny.I’ve been sober myself for quite a while.i never thought I’d reach this level of contentment in life.God bless you mate.i wish you every success in life
Watched you through the dark days and seeing your turn it around has been enlightening and made me change a few of my own defects. You cannot change your past but holding on to it is toxic. People are waiting and watching hoping to see you fail but am afraid they be sat a lifetime as I cannot see you going back to drugs as now your reaping the benefits of being clean and life is good. Family all still supporting you your children looking up to u and these things are better than any drug can give you. Keep up danny as there a many waiting,hoping you relapse and fail but your higher power and the rooms will keep you grounded. Should be proud of yourself for making the change keep working it and it will keep clean bro. Have a blessed day mate 🙏
Amazing to hear. I had a similar experience that started 4 years ago, and as you say it's easily the best journey I've ever taken. Mind boggling to think that I endured so many years of treading water in a pool of chaos and harm. Much Love to you, all the best for the future.
Respect to you Danny and your pure honesty. 25 years of jail in and out myself for shite and pride. 11 years out. Did it straight but suffer mental health issues because of it. I'm a gym guy it's saved my life. Keep being who you are and real love and respect Danny lad.
You've won the toughest fight you will ever be in , simple as that . We can't change our past but we can always strive to be a better person than we were the day before.
I'll be honest Danny in the past you havnt been my cup of tea, with the drama with decca etc but you know what mate this video was brilliant and my respect for you has gone through the roof. My life got ruined through cannabis and cocaine but I've been clean for 3 years now and I'm gradually turning my life around and correcting all the wrongs I've done in the past! I'm would never of known you was an addict because you hid it well, well I say that but I only watched your videos but if someone as strong and tough as you was/is an addict but you've turned your life around, that gives me great hope and this video has made me feel a lot better about myself. Thank you for this video Danny much love!
Well done 👍, as a fellow addict in recovery I'm 5 1/2 yr clean myself, I know from bitter experience how difficult it can be, but worth the effort, just one day and one step at a time!
Congrats guys! It takes you to a very dark place! I was close to ending it all , but I have 3 sons , 2 of them young teenagers, so my whole purpose in life now , is to make sure they don't make the mistakes that I did.
I'm struggling with alcohol and drugs myself . But I really dislike what I see looking back at us these days . Listing to your video has given me a push to contact them . I really appreciate your honesty . Especially from someone like your self who is respcted and admired as a boxer .
Hi Danny thanks for your share pal just listening on my break at work I can relate big time to the self pity and self entitlement I'm clean going on 6 years and when I think back of the years wasted in prison and your right the mindset is always poor me. Keep up these kind of videos mate it helps people more than you know. God bless my mate from Ireland 🇮🇪
Mate such a similar life to me luckily never ended up in prison but easily could have. I’m 44 and it’s only the last few years I’m really starting to see thing’s clearer. The strange thing too is that each time I had extreme grief it’s that what has changed my mindset, I always used to just get high or gamble to not deal with the pain, classic escapism! Only very recently I lost my dog and I know it’s just a dog to some people but it completely broke my heart and for the first time ever I handled it properly and dealt with the emotions! This time it’s opened my eyes so much more. Keep doing what ur doing brother! 🙌🏻👊🏻
I've been clean 7 yrs last Xmas day I believe certain people are born with addictive personalities due the fact they see the world for what it truly really is Werr not optimists or pessimists were realists The only thing I'm addicted to now is tetley tea & my slippers But I know every is a battle with my inner demons but accepting Jesus as my saviour saved me & countless others Keep up the great work Danny Have a prosperous & blessed 2023 bud
Inspirational Video Danny..... Been on a very similar road minus the jail time.... 30 years on the sesh taking all kinds from way too young an age...... Been battling the binges and just about on top of it.... 2023 will be a big year for me and going clean..... Thanks for putting this up and other videos your helping me and many others... All the best and here's hoping that come sept ive got 9 months clean time under my belt. Keep doing what your doing.. if you can do it anyone can. Good luck and all the best
The past is gone now Danny.. the future is what you make it .. your a humble man .. keep going your doing well ..just throw everything into your training and your family and you will reap your rewards .. keep 💪
I can identify with this Danny, my brother hung himself while I was in prison, the chaplain came and told me December 23rd 2017. He had a massive brain injury and died on the 27th December. I had been in and out of recovery for a couple of years and in and out of jail all my life. My brothers death was the turning point for me, I'm now 2 years into a degree living clean. Keep going Danny, I appreciate your content, congrats on your clean time.
Thank-you, life events definitely encourage desistance. In Narcotics Anonymous basic text, recovery and relapse it mentions 'A relapse and sometimes subsequent death of someone close to us can do the job of awakening us to the necessity for vigorous personal action.' The former was definitely true in my case and it sounds like it was the beginning of Danny's recovery journey.
Well done Danny. Been there myself 20 years in prisons up down England drug addiction later on in life.. Clean now 3 years job family.. Its hard but I love if.. Keep strong 💪💪
What wise words from a wise man!! My life was very much the same until I seen the light, my life’s flipped reversed now and life’s amazing! Well spoken Danny it takes a man to speak out you keep going it’s us who are winners ❤
Keep it going mate 👍 before long you will be having years behind you're belt. There is a massive clean and serene movement across ireland and the uk at the moment and its great too see people atcually breaking free from addiction and living life and becoming there full potential. Just look at yourself for example how far you came i just one year is phenomenal. Im nearly 4 years clean and you're videos still give me the drive and push to stay clean and sober 😎 keep up the good work mate 👍 its a forever fight but its gets easier and easier 💪 but from now on its tea & biscuits club for life mate 😎💯💪🥳
Been watching you for a while, you are a evolved man. The battle will go on the rest of your life, but what I can see Danny is that you are on top of your fight and you will not give that up. You are an inspiration. I’ve just subscribed and you sir have my total respect. Keep doing what you are doing.
People will never understand unless they act on it bud you acted on your addiction and the way you explain things is exactly how we feel when we get free off substance abuse I try telling me pals all the time rather asking them why why are ya wasting your life away just exiting waiting for the phone to ring or waiting for joe bloggs to get back home they can get sorted just can’t get through to anybody under the influence what it’s like to live with our own minds it’s a great life on the T Total path RESPECT 💯well done bud 💯💥
Well said mate👊, powerful and meaningful. Been down that road meself and it's tuff, the substances take control which we enjoyed too much but at the same time we hurt everyone around us but not realising it. Feeling like me normal self again which is great and for everyone around me. Keep up the good work mate 👏👏👏
Danny i can see so much of what your saying in myself have got so much respect for ya and as we know being honest to our self is the hardest thing to do, Ive done it and so have you we can all do it but we have to believe in our self, God Bless Ya and Massive Respect To Ya,
Takes a big man to admit he’s made mistakes, takes a bigger man to hold his hands up to his problems but you know what it takes a big man with a big pair of hairy balls to be accountable for his past. 👏🏼 we are not judged for our mistakes, we are judged for not making our wrongs right. Keep up the great work r kid
Well done Danny, you're one of the lucky ones managing to come through all that and come out the other side. I don't mean it was just luck I know you must have gone through hell to get there and hats off to you. You've done amazing things with your life onwards and upwards respect to you 😊 👏☝️
@@therealdannychristie8255 yeah I know you do Danny your a Top man and all us back here in Burnley love you too hope to see you when you're back in the area brother peace out Hh
It all starts of as fun mate and before you know it it's not fun anymore. As you know we as addicts don't do one's it's all or nothing. At the time we have know consequences when we are using. We blame everyone apart from ourselves until we realise it's our fault nobody else's. Iam 3 1/2 clean and it's the best thing I've ever done. God bless 🙌 🙏
Well done DC proud of you mate ,I'm on the same journey and have never felt better ,great to hear the passion in your voice 🙂 keep up the great work 🙏💪💪
It’s mad cause when you say your an addict people automatically think drugs, take the drugs away and your still an addict in all aspects of things, you just move the addiction on to something else, I try to use my addiction on things that will benefit me nowadays it can be used for good, and it’s quite refreshing when you can control it a bit, but don’t get me wrong I spend everyday knowing that it could take the smallest thing and I could be back to square one Fairplay for sticking at it tho bro and staying clean, easily the hardest fight we can ever have is with ourselves
Being born in Burnley and living 35 years in Nelson I've seen and known many people that don't make it. Structure is key. I was in a coma in 2019 given little chance of survival but survive and thrive I continued to this day. 13 years sober this year and proud of all those clean and sober wether that be 1 day, 1 week or years. Keep it real pal.
Watching this mate is bang on the same as my story I'm 6 month clean landed in jail July 2022 got out September a different man 15 years of addiction on coke weed etc etc. u name it I took it. got out of Armley got my cscs card my digger license passed my theory then just passed my practical last week now bought a golf insured taxed it working full time lifes unreal for me now I'm loved and I love its a new life how it should of always been but I'm glad I went through it its made me a better man respect danny
Good morning, Danny, my name I Shay, And I too am an addict,, and will be till the day I die,,, But 13 years ago I was giving a choice,, live or die,,, I chose to live,,,, Every day is a bonus now, its not easy some days but its definitely worth it,,,, there will always be haters of me and my past, but the people I'm around these days, are all that matter to me, They are the ones who make it worth getting up with a Positive and healthy out look every day,,,, Stay strong keep looking Forward,, dont forget the past, but don't dwell on it,,,,, SHAY,,, DUBLIN, IRELAND,, 👍👍✌️✌️🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪
Danny fair play mate fair fucking play it takes a bigger man to witness the downs he has had to come out the other end a bigger man, keep being you sir and I wish you all the fucking best I really do
Happy as fk for you, love seeing this. "Got to be consistent, got to be discpiplined, simple as that" Absolutely spot on. That should be written down and stuck on the walls/fridge door/bathroom mirror for anyone in recovery
Similar sort of progression through the drug scene myself , but the worst for me by a million miles were the prescription pain killers , terrible physical addiction with those ,never felt worse , im on the mend now like 31 days clean
All the best Danny lad, I lost a brother too narcotics in 2015 and it’s heartbreaking for all involved. Wishing you a healthy and happy long life ahead my friend.
Great stuff mate. Personally I've never been interested in drink or drugs, took steroids for a brief spell in the past, but that's it. Drink and drugs just don't interest me. But for a lot of people, they are very tempting, and temptation then leads to repetitive usage, as you so openly discussed in this video. My own father has a serious cocaine addiction, lost everything to cocaine, lost himself. To see you open up like this, and take accountability, that's powerful stuff mate. What you were saying about about things always being 'someone elses fault' really rings true with my Dad. To be honest, I wish I could show my Dad this video, but he wouldn't watch. Anyway, I've never been someone to regularly comment on anyone's channel, but your content really resonates with me. You are a good man, respect. From Ricky, down south in East Sussex !
Stick with it, Ryan,, its worth it, Trust me,,,,,,, The first few weeks will be the hardest,, find yourself a distraction when it gets bad,,, what ever it takes,, think POSITIVE, it works,,,, Shay,, 👌👍👍✌️🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪
Keep the positivit Ryan lad hard work dedication one day at a time 100% you can do it. keep yourself occupied and speak to somebody close if you can Danny The Legend and the likes of Paul vennis inspired me to change I am eight months clean now One day at a time peace and God bless🙏🏻☘️💚☘️
I went to my local church after I decided to get clean , the vicar prayed for me and i couldnt stop crying ,thats when i knew god was back in my life, im a pure addict as u know brother , im back at the gym today 40 odd days clean , fuckin buzzing bro
"I needed a twisted mind.." = certain refreshing honesty.. Be well Danny..
Powerful words brother. Took some stones to do that 👌
Been there Danny I wasted a lot of my life ,but met my wife & she helped me through it now I'm 57 & looking like I'm 30 love your journey just keep going lad & leave a positive impact 💪🥊🥊
Good lad danny from dublin i abused coke and alchol for years constantly fighting .. 2 months clean training consistently. You cant beat waking up fresh on the weekend wen youd normally still be up off your face. I get anxiety thinking about it. Your videos helped me knock it on the head good man 👍
Everything he says resonates so deep with me so much its almost hard to listen to all the best danny
Wow. Not only a great story but an immaculate delivery. You have a powerful message delivery powerfully. Slick, passionate and real. You are definitely a preacher man. Keep up the messages and good luck with your ongoing sobriety.
Legend thanks for sharing in that the light you can give others to hold when it’s dark for them 💙
What a speech. Keep up the great work Danny. I'm not where I want to he but I'm trying 😊
You can do it!

Well done 👍, as a fellow addict in recovery I'm 5 1/2 yr clean myself, I know from bitter experience how difficult it can be, but worth the effort, just one day and one step at a time!
@@franceslafferty7693 👍 it's a good feeling isn't it, although it took 20 yr to realise.
Congrats guys! It takes you to a very dark place! I was close to ending it all , but I have 3 sons , 2 of them young teenagers, so my whole purpose in life now , is to make sure they don't make the mistakes that I did.
Love the energy Danny , your honest and upfront
Respect to you mate, I’m on my own journey. 17 weeks going strong
I'm struggling with alcohol and drugs myself . But I really dislike what I see looking back at us these days . Listing to your video has given me a push to contact them . I really appreciate your honesty . Especially from someone like your self who is respcted and admired as a boxer .
Subscribed the other day
I like your honesty
Your very rare because your honest
Really good to see this positively in such a hard time of life
Great listening to your story Danny u should do a book on your life God bless mate and on and up thanks for doing this
Wow that was great! Loved hearing that ❤️🙏
Yes Danny mate!! All the best mush “Proper Mush” 🔥💙🔥
Hi Danny thanks for your share pal just listening on my break at work
I can relate big time to the self pity and self entitlement
I'm clean going on 6 years and when I think back of the years wasted in prison and your right the mindset is always poor me. Keep up these kind of videos mate it helps people more than you know. God bless my mate from Ireland 🇮🇪
💙
Keep the positive vibe mate the mind is a powerful tool
Well done, massive respect for kicking it. I need to kick my addictions.
Absolute reality Dan. That’s real son ‘ stay on the road to Positivity 👍
Mate such a similar life to me luckily never ended up in prison but easily could have. I’m 44 and it’s only the last few years I’m really starting to see thing’s clearer. The strange thing too is that each time I had extreme grief it’s that what has changed my mindset, I always used to just get high or gamble to not deal with the pain, classic escapism! Only very recently I lost my dog and I know it’s just a dog to some people but it completely broke my heart and for the first time ever I handled it properly and dealt with the emotions! This time it’s opened my eyes so much more. Keep doing what ur doing brother! 🙌🏻👊🏻
You can feel the realness when you speak bro ,think your ace 💯👍
I've been clean 7 yrs last Xmas day
I believe certain people are born with addictive personalities due the fact they see the world for what it truly really is
Werr not optimists or pessimists were realists
The only thing I'm addicted to now is tetley tea & my slippers
But I know every is a battle with my inner demons but accepting Jesus as my saviour saved me & countless others
Keep up the great work Danny
Have a prosperous & blessed 2023 bud
Beautiful Danny. Thank you
Well done Danny.. respect and honesty cost nothing and you have both 💯 👏
If only everybody was as honest with themselves. Fair play Danny, keep on it pal. Strong mind beats a strong man every day of the week
Life can be tough at times, drugs don't make anyone a better person
Inspirational Video Danny..... Been on a very similar road minus the jail time.... 30 years on the sesh taking all kinds from way too young an age...... Been battling the binges and just about on top of it.... 2023 will be a big year for me and going clean..... Thanks for putting this up and other videos your helping me and many others... All the best and here's hoping that come sept ive got 9 months clean time under my belt. Keep doing what your doing.. if you can do it anyone can. Good luck and all the best
The past is gone now Danny.. the future is what you make it .. your a humble man .. keep going your doing well ..just throw everything into your training and your family and you will reap your rewards .. keep 💪
I can identify with this Danny, my brother hung himself while I was in prison, the chaplain came and told me December 23rd 2017. He had a massive brain injury and died on the 27th December. I had been in and out of recovery for a couple of years and in and out of jail all my life. My brothers death was the turning point for me, I'm now 2 years into a degree living clean. Keep going Danny, I appreciate your content, congrats on your clean time.
Thank-you, life events definitely encourage desistance. In Narcotics Anonymous basic text, recovery and relapse it mentions 'A relapse and sometimes subsequent death of someone close to us can do the job of awakening us to the necessity for vigorous personal action.' The former was definitely true in my case and it sounds like it was the beginning of Danny's recovery journey.
Well done Danny. Been there myself 20 years in prisons up down England drug addiction later on in life.. Clean now 3 years job family.. Its hard but I love if.. Keep strong 💪💪
What wise words from a wise man!! My life was very much the same until I seen the light, my life’s flipped reversed now and life’s amazing! Well spoken Danny it takes a man to speak out you keep going it’s us who are winners ❤
Love your honesty mate ....36 days today ...onwards n upwards
Well done
Keep it going mate 👍 before long you will be having years behind you're belt.
There is a massive clean and serene movement across ireland and the uk at the moment and its great too see people atcually breaking free from addiction and living life and becoming there full potential. Just look at yourself for example how far you came i just one year is phenomenal. Im nearly 4 years clean and you're videos still give me the drive and push to stay clean and sober 😎 keep up the good work mate 👍 its a forever fight but its gets easier and easier 💪 but from now on its tea & biscuits club for life mate 😎💯💪🥳
You are on the right road keep going lad
Absolutely class 👏... inspiring mate👊
I genuinely understand. Clear of mind and eye.
Been watching you for a while, you are a evolved man. The battle will go on the rest of your life, but what I can see Danny is that you are on top of your fight and you will not give that up. You are an inspiration. I’ve just subscribed and you sir have my total respect. Keep doing what you are doing.
People will never understand unless they act on it bud you acted on your addiction and the way you explain things is exactly how we feel when we get free off substance abuse I try telling me pals all the time rather asking them why why are ya wasting your life away just exiting waiting for the phone to ring or waiting for joe bloggs to get back home they can get sorted just can’t get through to anybody under the influence what it’s like to live with our own minds it’s a great life on the T Total path RESPECT 💯well done bud 💯💥
Respect to you Danny and owning that your a addict you keep doing you m8..you look healthy and positive a big shout out from B/WOOD Burnley 🙏❤️💙
Dude, best video you have ever made. Powerful, inspiring. Well done
Absolutely legend Danny mate ❤
Love your speeches bro.makes me want to quit drugs.
You are a credit to your hard work..long may it continue
Well done danny you have lived it and are one of the best talkers out there and are looking great for it keep it up
Well said mate👊, powerful and meaningful. Been down that road meself and it's tuff, the substances take control which we enjoyed too much but at the same time we hurt everyone around us but not realising it. Feeling like me normal self again which is great and for everyone around me. Keep up the good work mate 👏👏👏
Honestly wish I could meet you one day to talk to you mate! You help me massively daily you do! ❤
Danny i can see so much of what your saying in myself have got so much respect for ya and as we know being honest to our self is the hardest thing to do, Ive done it and so have you we can all do it but we have to believe in our self, God Bless Ya and Massive Respect To Ya,
Takes a big man to admit he’s made mistakes, takes a bigger man to hold his hands up to his problems but you know what it takes a big man with a big pair of hairy balls to be accountable for his past. 👏🏼 we are not judged for our mistakes, we are judged for not making our wrongs right. Keep up the great work r kid
Well done Danny, you're one of the lucky ones managing to come through all that and come out the other side. I don't mean it was just luck I know you must have gone through hell to get there and hats off to you. You've done amazing things with your life onwards and upwards respect to you 😊 👏☝️
Blessings Danny from everyone here back in Burnley especially the wood take care and be lucky brother
It’s my second home brother love the place x
@@therealdannychristie8255 yeah I know you do Danny your a Top man and all us back here in Burnley love you too hope to see you when you're back in the area brother peace out Hh
It all starts of as fun mate and before you know it it's not fun anymore. As you know we as addicts don't do one's it's all or nothing. At the time we have know consequences when we are using. We blame everyone apart from ourselves until we realise it's our fault nobody else's. Iam 3 1/2 clean and it's the best thing I've ever done. God bless 🙌 🙏
Well done DC proud of you mate ,I'm on the same journey and have never felt better ,great to hear the passion in your voice 🙂 keep up the great work 🙏💪💪
It’s mad cause when you say your an addict people automatically think drugs, take the drugs away and your still an addict in all aspects of things, you just move the addiction on to something else, I try to use my addiction on things that will benefit me nowadays it can be used for good, and it’s quite refreshing when you can control it a bit, but don’t get me wrong I spend everyday knowing that it could take the smallest thing and I could be back to square one
Fairplay for sticking at it tho bro and staying clean, easily the hardest fight we can ever have is with ourselves
100%
Being born in Burnley and living 35 years in Nelson I've seen and known many people that don't make it. Structure is key. I was in a coma in 2019 given little chance of survival but survive and thrive I continued to this day. 13 years sober this year and proud of all those clean and sober wether that be 1 day, 1 week or years. Keep it real pal.
Correction 2009 not 2019.
Raw, Truthful and Inspirational.🤝👍
Cheers for sharing your story, Danny 👍

fuckin hell danny , ive got tears in me eyes ,well done lad i bet your family are proud of you and doing better them selves not having to worry ,
Good morning, Danny, my name I Shay, And I too am an addict,, and will be till the day I die,,, But 13 years ago I was giving a choice,, live or die,,, I chose to live,,,, Every day is a bonus now, its not easy some days but its definitely worth it,,,, there will always be haters of me and my past, but the people I'm around these days, are all that matter to me, They are the ones who make it worth getting up with a Positive and healthy out look every day,,,, Stay strong keep looking Forward,, dont forget the past, but don't dwell on it,,,,, SHAY,,, DUBLIN, IRELAND,, 👍👍✌️✌️🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪
🔹🙏
Looking fantastic kid. Big respect to you for being clean I know how hard it is so chin up keep going forward 👏👏💯💯
Respect, thank you brother God bless mate ❤️🙏
Danny fair play mate fair fucking play it takes a bigger man to witness the downs he has had to come out the other end a bigger man, keep being you sir and I wish you all the fucking best I really do
Happy as fk for you, love seeing this.
"Got to be consistent, got to be discpiplined, simple as that" Absolutely spot on. That should be written down and stuck on the walls/fridge door/bathroom mirror for anyone in recovery
“This is the cowie” 😂
Similar sort of progression through the drug scene myself , but the worst for me by a million miles were the prescription pain killers , terrible physical addiction with those ,never felt worse , im on the mend now like 31 days clean
Rest in peace to your aunty bro
All the best Danny lad, I lost a brother too narcotics in 2015 and it’s heartbreaking for all involved. Wishing you a healthy and happy long life ahead my friend.
Great stuff mate. Personally I've never been interested in drink or drugs, took steroids for a brief spell in the past, but that's it. Drink and drugs just don't interest me. But for a lot of people, they are very tempting, and temptation then leads to repetitive usage, as you so openly discussed in this video.
My own father has a serious cocaine addiction, lost everything to cocaine, lost himself.
To see you open up like this, and take accountability, that's powerful stuff mate. What you were saying about about things always being 'someone elses fault' really rings true with my Dad. To be honest, I wish I could show my Dad this video, but he wouldn't watch.
Anyway, I've never been someone to regularly comment on anyone's channel, but your content really resonates with me.
You are a good man, respect.
From Ricky, down south in East Sussex !
Not on your own Danny, I’m 7 days into my recovery the best I have done so far
Stick with it, Ryan,, its worth it, Trust me,,,,,,, The first few weeks will be the hardest,, find yourself a distraction when it gets bad,,, what ever it takes,, think POSITIVE, it works,,,, Shay,, 👌👍👍✌️🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪
Keep the positivit Ryan lad hard work dedication one day at a time 100% you can do it. keep yourself occupied and speak to somebody close if you can Danny The Legend and the likes of Paul vennis inspired me to change I am eight months clean now One day at a time peace and God bless🙏🏻☘️💚☘️
Keep coming back bro 🔹
