Ugh!!! Kevin I am so freaking proud of you!!!!!!
Kevin was and will always be my best friend. We were best friends and did everything together in boarding school even though I have struggled in my own life. It pains me immensely to see that he has struggled and suffered. We went our separate ways after boarding school, we’ve chatted a couple times over the years, but we’ve lost touch for many. I’m not sure on how to reconnect with him, but if someone could possibly send me his information or I send you mine, he’s always been a great man and I admire him and what he’s accomplished and I hope he is still doing well!

Many thanks for making this video on recovering from addiction. Can people in recovery fully avoid triggers? I’m impressed, I liked this video and subscribed!
If you don’t develop a relationship with God, you’ll always relapse. I’ve seen many addicts find new addictions instead of God too, keeping them off drugs but still in their character defects, cause they’re still basically active addicts. AA and fellowship seems to be a big one for people. Good luck Kevin! Best wishes!
