The biggest lie my addiction ever told me…
Short | 3 months ago
That voice in my head, the one that used to get louder and louder every day, convincing me that one drink or one drug would fix everything, has finally gone silent. Today, there’s a different voice. A voice that tells me to keep going. A voice that reminds ...

For years I thought change meant making one big decision. Turns out it’s the small decisions repeated consistently that change everything. Recovery, healing, mental health, success… none of it happens overnight. You don’t just survive life, you learn new be...

This old garage 🙏
Short | 3 months ago
I went back to an old garage on the streets of Baltimore the other day… a place that once held some of my darkest moments. A place I documented in my book, The Streets of Baltimore. These walls saw addiction, hopelessness, and a version of me I barely recog...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ❤️🙏

Before the health scare. Before the wake-up calls. Before life reminded us how fragile time really is. Seeing my mom here, cigarette in hand and smiling without a worry in the world, hits different now. And while so much has changed since this video was tak...

Relapsing isn’t worth it…
Short | 4 months ago
Chasing that first high is a losing game. I’ve relapsed enough times to know… it never hits the same. Not even close. What once felt like escape turns into a trap real quick. The truth is, I wasn’t chasing a high… I was chasing a memory. And that version of...

Redemption is good enough for anyone, even my own people….
Short | 4 months ago
I didn’t build Redemption Treatment Centers to be another name in the industry… I built it for the people I love. Because if my family ever needed help, I wouldn’t hesitate—I’d send them here. Not because it’s mine… But because I know what it takes to actua...

THERE IS NO SECRET RECIPE FOR SOBRIETY!
Short | 5 months ago
I wish I could tell you there was a secret recipe to staying sober… but there isn’t. No magic formula. No shortcut. No one-size-fits-all answer. It’s just showing up, every single day, even when you don’t feel like it. It’s doing the work, being honest, ask...

How my past defines me in sobriety
Short | 5 months ago
My past in active addiction doesn’t define me in the way people think. It doesn’t keep me stuck in shame, it reminds me where I came from and why I never want to go back. Every bad decision, every hospital bed, every burned bridge became part of the foundat...

World Class Pod w/ Chris Vasquez
Short | 6 months ago
There was a time when the world saw me on Jackass and Viva La Bam and thought they knew exactly who I was. The truth is… addiction had me doing things that don’t reflect the man I am today. I hurt people, burned bridges, and made choices I’m not proud of. B...

I almost died 1000 times
Short | 6 months ago
I can’t even count how many times I woke up in a hospital bed during my active addiction. Tubes in my arms, machines beeping, doctors shaking their heads, and my family standing there terrified… wondering if this would be the last time. Every visit should’v...
