  I kept wondering why he’s talking so much. I thought I was watching the ones where he is the host! Great video, thank you!

  wow the part about cheating on tests and always taking the easy route hits home hard. I cheated so much in school and not because I was dumb, I just got so used to it and would rather do other things with my time than study.

  Wow, Kevin, I never knew your story—truly enlightening! Your entrepreneurial spirit in college was incredible. I tell the women I teach in jail that if they channeled their drive and tenacity into a positive work ethic, they would be unstoppable. You are proof of that shift. Super proud of you, Kevin!<br>Logan, I’m also super proud of you and your NewGenerationSobriety podcast—woo hoo for you on getting sober at 21! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/jesuslovesyou">#JesusLovesYou</a>

  We always have to pay the piper …dude I thought after jail it was the end and then for the next 7 years I loved someone more than I had ever loved….they turned out to be a full blown crack addict and I would feel so terrible and stupid sometimes but then I would realize the damage I had done to others and I hated to admitted it but I deserved all of it…every last bit and probably more…it’s only been 3 days that person has been clean and it took me moving far away and it still might not be enough…but I earned this life

  Hell yeah man, I&apos;m subbed up now. This episode with Kev is going to help you get more attention for sure, and you deserve it! I&apos;m thinking more about how I&apos;m the same age as Kevin, and that&apos;s nearly twice your age. I am still working (again) to get back to recovery, and I want to share one simple message with other young addicts. Life moves FAST, and believe me... it can move even faster if you&apos;re an addict. I&apos;ve had good experiences and a great life, but the 20yrs since I was your age (21) have gone so fast it&apos;s almost incomprehensible. People say it and hear it all the time. But, if you&apos;re in your teens or twenties and remotely considering getting clean... DO IT. Your future self will thank you more than you can even begin to imagine right now. This podcast has incredible potential to get more and more addicts on the path of recovery!
