This guy looks and sounds so much better... he's humbled down and looks like he's gone so much higher than he initially was in the old video... much love, and happy holidays!

The amount of will and mental power it takes to remain sober for 8 years is immense. Such a strong soul he is.

When one start thinking he is not good enough, then he starts misbehaving. Never look down on yourselves, that's number thing I learnt here

This is a reflection of my life... whoever this guy is.. thank you.

I haven't seen the old video. Anyone have the link?

It pains but the road to recovery starts with acceptance. You find true peace when you unburden.

It's not short time for finding your Worth life after sober,but I appreciate you, with your sincerely, your struggles, anything bring you for sober life,it's amazing story

On being centered: "Where is the center of our world? Does everything we do revolve around someone else's or our own problems/addictions? We choose where to place the center of our world. If we choose a center outside ourselves, we can't act for our own well-being. When we are centered in our deep, inner spiritual core, all our actions enhance our well-being. Being centered does not mean being self-centered, ruled by our ego's whims, desires, fears, and distorted views. To be self-centered covers up self-hatred. Being centered reveals true self-love. When we are centered we are focused on our Higher Power and our highest spiritual self. We are mindful of our true nature, and don't allow our decisions to be determined by others or by our egos." -Veronica Ray Mantra for being centered: My world is centered on my highest spiritual self. I am whole; I am complete. Thank you for sharing your story; it took immense strength and bravery.

This story of addiction is an eye-opener for drug addicts that they can still live a meaningful life after their addiction. Indeed, it is high time they abandoned this terrible habit of theirs.

Thank u for sharing this really hit home for me and I feel like I need to help others by sharing my story as well god bless

What an achieving and recovery story. You look strong now. Thanks for sharing.

It's wholesome how he finally let go of the hate he had for his dad. That played a big role in his successful recovery.

What a journey.. Much love and respect.

So sorry to hear about Matter's troubled history. It is definitely a testament to his strength that he persevered despite his broken family and feelings of emptiness. Huge recovery story that could inspire many. Thanks for sharing.

8 years sober is not a small feat to achieve. Thanks to God for helping you to stay strong. Working more on yourself in bringing out your true worth is good. You're a strong man.

Finding self worth is something most if not all of of us go through. The only factor that is different is how we go about it, For him it was drugs etc, It is flat out wrong but at times as the saying goes we need to fall so that we can get back up!!!!This is why life has value because some people to through so much to have it.

I saw his old video and he wasn't looking that good. Now, he is obviously looking better and very articulate. I understand his journey has been a turbulent one but. glad he is beating the addiction and staying clean. What a story

thank you for sharing your story

Wow.......This is amazing, Freedom is the best.Much love....Thank you so much as you have helped other people too

Good job bro ! I remember you doing meetings at the Salvation Army Arc with your sponsor. I remember your sponsor was a heavy set guy very cool person. This was back in 2012. I’ll be celebrating 9 years in December, I still meet with my sponsor and still do meetings. Have a good day sir.

This is really amazing. Your story is so emotional, thanks for sharing it with us. Soberness for 8 good years is not easy

I'm proud of Matt. He's come a very long way. I met him when he was a annoying kid that was all messed up. He has grown into a great man. Very inspirational. Keep it up.

We are so proud of him too.

Learning about our traumas and how to respond to situations in a healthy way... YES!!! This is where it's AT!! This spoke to me. I hope he's doing well

Bringing drug addiction experience here into a public view to enumerate causes as well as consequences that binds this dreadful acts should be well appreciated, parents should use this to keep alert and aware of various means and criteria their children can fall victim and prevent it effectively . Thanks for the heads up

Matter's story of drug addiction is touching. However, he has taken a bold step to desist from such unwholesome and unhealthy habit. Big thanks go to Detox for rehabilitating many lives.

Yeah! He looks so much better now. And I hope more and more lives will be changed through his story. Hope all is well with you!

His story is a touching one. He really is living the best version of himself now.

Being addicted at age 8 is a serious issue with a lot of internal damages. To be alive up to this time is God. Glory be to the name of the Lord.

Great job from him. Hope that he continues to do what he does and that he gets all the love and care that he needs. Thank you sharing his story with us. Also cool name dude!

I need some help in finding a good free long-term (6 months to a year +) inpatient/residential rehab. Going out of state is not a problem. If I had to choose any state they would be Pennsylvania, California, Florida, Texas or Ohio, but I am open to other places as well. I'd prefer this rehab to have people who actually want to be there; People who actually want to stay off drugs and better their lives as opposed to a rehab that has mostly court ordered patients. I know finding good FREE long-term inpatient rehabs is a hard task but there are some out there. There's one here in NC that helps you find employment (you work in order to live there), helps you get a car, apartment etc.. But I have just a few issues with this rehab. 1: Most of the people in this rehab are court ordered to be there. It's either they go to this rehab or they go to prison. I'm sorry but I do not want to be around people like that. From what I've heard, this place is almost like a prison camp. I am doing this voluntarily and I was thinking this place would have more like minded people. 2: The location of this rehab facility is very close to the slums and a lot of people end up relapsing there. A very dangerous area in Durham NC. 3: (This is the #1 reason I decided against going.) For the first eight months there you can not have any contact with the opposite sex. They keep the males and females separated. Other than those 3 negatives that rehab seems to be almost perfect and has everything I am looking for. If anyone has an input or ideas of places I would be interested in please leave a comment below. Thanks.

Chernobyl Reactor 4 There is a Rehab in Roanoke, VA, close to Salem, called Mount Regis. I went there this past summer and it was amazing. The Faculty nurses and people in general were really great. They take you out for NA,AA meetings as well as activities/movies etc. They detox you for the first 7 to 10 days medically. Your days there will be filled with learning about yourself, about addiction, meditation, and overall how to overcome your addiction. Just giving my opinion, don’t let the thought of other people at a facility holding you back from getting your own sanity and health back. At the end of the day it’s about you and you should always do you. It took me a while to figure that out but once you focus on yourself it doesn’t matter who is around or what’s going on. I had insurance when I went to Mount Regis however I think I heard them say they also have charity programs that assist people without insurance. It’s really worth taking a look at. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I hope you find a place soon and good luck to you, best wishes - Rich

You can never have a normal relationship Bub. Man isn’t supposed to lay with man. Until you realize this truth, you can NEVER TRULY be happy.
