This is the type of stuff I love to see from the Herald. Real stories about real people and the everyday things we deal with, only then will we know where to go as a people.

I'm crying so much ... that was a premo ending. I work in mental health and understand both sides, the person and the family. Keep it up Ethan, the world can be a rewarding place without drugs and alcohol. Arohas heaps bro 💚

His support worker is key. Top lady

Congrats Ethan! Amazing work so far. Big ups to the support worker too, bloody tough gig

proud of you ❤‍🔥whether or not you see this comment just know you've always got people rooting for you!! keep going, everyday is a new day to be better

New beginning ✨️ forget everything, start ur life .. sun rises

Wish you all the best Ethan. You got this brother. Wishing you all the success ❤

Awesome outcome 👏 proud of you ethan..but most of all, you should be very proud of yourself 🎉

There's millions of people not millions of jobs. Out of the cities some small places populations of 5000 people around 20 shops not enough jobs for the ratio, some don't have confidence or support. We had our family farm to work every day experience & opportunity for me to get a job on the farms at 15 some sadly have nothing wish this guy the best KIA KAHA BRO

Good on u brother!

Loving this series 🎉… wishing this tane all the best ❤

So proud of you Ethan, keep on the path my friend. Dark days still lay ahead for you, as they do for us all... keep your head up, and let the stars light your way

🎉🎉🎉🎉 lessss gooo!!!🎉🎉 Solid work Ethan and the team around him!!!

Go Ethan! Well done for achieving what you've accomplished! Awesome bro! Keep going and don't look back. Congrats on the Landscaping job. From an expat Kiwi living in Melbourne Australia.

I feel so proud of you Ethan! You’re going to do great things. Keep your mind healthy and everything will fall into place. Good job on landing a job too!

Good on you Ethan. Youll succeed at whatever you apply yourself to. Good luck buddy.

Surround yourself with good, hard working, honest people, it’s imperative. Aim for greatness Ethan. The more you do it, the easier it gets. You can do it

It all starts at prison release. Not everyone gets a social worker, not everyone leaves prison with accommodation sorted, I know this first hand. I finished a 4 year lag and was released to the streets with no where to go, WINZ put me into an emergency housing motel full of addicts and users right away. Didn't help me one bit. I consider myself a lucky one, I recognized the housing situation immediately and decided to go sleep in a $600 car instead by myself until I got back on my feet, which I did. I would not be in the position I am today, a business owner for the past 3 years, and a new first home owner if I had followed what the system told me was the answer when I was released.

Put his mind to learning something about programming or something else where the trajectory now faces upward and i think he's in a good place to only learn the good things and things that work for whatever it is because his path isn't spiralling down anymore. Yeah i think he's in a good position to do good for his life

Well done Ethan all the best with life bro

Good keep going strong ❤

Legend Ethan !!

I wonder if when they get out they are given the option of going on medication for mood. Was emotional just watching it and I can see how people would relapse and reoffend so easily. Ethan if you see this keep putting in the hard work it will pay off. All the best.

2:55 gutted, poor fulla...but understandable, whanau had had enough of his shit

❤❤❤❤❤

this is awesome show more pls UP WAYS BROTHER⬆️⬆️⬆️

Well done Ethan life short keep up the good work 👏

Awesome dude. Hope he continues to excel, well done!

Awesome way to move forward.. if you want a really simple life hack maybe try this (or something like it) : take up running or trail running and if you enjoy it set little goals within it (e.g 1/2 marathon etc). why its so cool is that its cheap to do and alcohol and drugs dont mix with it at all. i use to hang out with my mates getting on the p1ss etc but i grew out of it and it wasnt really me so i took up running. no late ngihts cause i am up running early (made new mates) and would have just as much fun taking the p1ss out of my running mates as with my drinking mates. but apart from the fun element there is loads of other cool stuff like nature / well being / stress manager / fitness / health etc.. moved away from getting on a p1ss when i was about 32. now 56 and i still go out and run the trails (and mountain bike a lot too). my life is very cool thanks to the most simple stuff.

Heartbreaking

I think ethan burn lots of bridges and family dont trust him its sad but i hope he doesn't relapse and stay on the clean path much blessings

Massive bro ❤❤

No hobbies. No passions. No interests. No family relations. No visions. No job.

Pick up books on business and how money works. Education is the key. Learn and grow. Read slow and abstract information and apply.

I have to reluctantly agree! He probably has maori in him, like me. I look more European than him and it is not until lady's exactly like her realise I can fluently speak te Reo that I get respectful eye contact and respect. She was right I think in saying it is the permanent change in attitude and behaviour worth more than any possible temporary job or piece of paper. But yeh I could feel what you said about his treatment as a fair fulla in a maori support programme. Kia Kaha Kia Mauritau Mauri ora brother Ethan
