This is my little cousin!!! His dad is my mom’s brother 😆 that’s the sister who lived in Daytona 😂So much love for you, Joey❤ we used to smoke together and chill. We went our separate ways and both developed addiction in our own ways. Lost touch 😢 I have been in recovery for 16 years myself and I am so proud of Joey!! It took him such a fraction of time that it took me to figure out the truth he speaks today ❤ makes my heart so happy and I appreciate that we both know where each other came from and can share our recovery together!! I love this. Made me laugh, cry and be like “dude, I remember that!! I know what ur spittin”!! 😅

“Once you have the knowledge you can’t un-know it.” Truer words were never spoken, my man. 💯

This is my big brother, he’s had custody of me since I was 7 and he was 18. I can back up and verify every single thing that he said becuz I was there to witness it with my own two eyes. At one point in time we were living out of his rendezvous SUV and he was taking me to elementary school out of. our mother has been a heroin addict my whole life, dads a meth/crack head. My name is Jesse Gandee and my brother is Joey Gandee and this is our testimony/life story.

I couldn’t quit for any person, but I quit for my cat. He was the only one who stayed with and supported me through everything, and would “yell” at me for using! Then, he got sick & needed expensive care to survive and have any quality of life. I couldn’t go get a bag. I couldn’t live with myself. If I did that instead of buying his medicine. That cat saved my life. And, I swear, when he did die years later, he had raised me a kitten who is as sweet as him, and sent her a new friend to love (my current boy kitty). 9 years later, the kitten holds my hand, like he used to! Her friend follows me around, like he did. The two of them put together have all the qualities of my old cat. They are official ESAs & they are priceless! ❤🐈⬛

This man’s story is incredible. He has a very soft and in tune energy. I am so happy to see that he is so aware and chose to be the only light for his brother. I’m not sure if he will see these comments, but if he does, thank you for sharing 🫶🏼 you are a beautiful soul!

I love this man’s heart. He talks with such emotion and genuineness. I pray he stays positive and sober and encourages people, spreads love. It’s the kind yet haunted eyes that set him apart for me. Good luck to him❤️

Man o man this guy is the epitome of solid- the world needs so many more of the REAL ONES. Not a vindictive bone, genuine, humble and who others should inspire to be. Life isn't fair for that genuine soul ...too many are the complete opposite so I just wish this dude all the best because I'm pretty sure w life and behind bars he's served his time and now he needs to shine
