I have watched this so many times since it was sent to me by the main man himself - Dangerous Dave.. 🔥
It bought so many tears to my eyes.. listening to the words and watching the little clips.. 🥹😭💚
I’m always so hard on myself, never praise myself and every time I struggle I just push everyone away, lock myself away and try to deal with it myself.. after creating MaD hikers, trying to bring everyone together and help everyone deal with their struggles together, I just do the exact opposite.. I don’t know why I’m like that, I just feel that all the things I try to do to help people, I don’t like people helping me so I just burn myself out.. 😢
After so many years through my teenage and adult life using drugs , alcohol use , abusing your body putting s**t after s**t inside you not knowing what it’s going to do to you after you get clean from everything , mentally , f***s you up, it scares you, can’t deal with sober life and still struggle so much with living a clean healthy lifestyle. An absolute anxious wreck now , try so hard to keep going, pushing forward and stay away from all the toxic s**t and bad lifestyle.
I have had a massive break from MaD Hikers as life just takes over sometimes, I burn myself out and always needs a hard reset. After seeing this video it just hit me so much knowing how much of a positive impact I and the group has had on so many people.
I urge anyone who is struggling, with anything at all, not to just join this group, but any kind of social group, it makes you feel that you are not struggling alone, the friends you make - I can’t even describe the impact they have had on me over these past 4/5 years, life long friends, amazing experiences and journies which I will never forget and can not thank everyone who has been a part of my journey enough. Honestly , saved my life.. 🙏🏻
A massive thank you to Dave for putting this together and making me realise a few home truths.
I love you all.. 💚
