[innercitynigga]

keep strong and stay Clean!

[SwiftKiler28]

i swear the only substance i will ever take is alcohol

[Tophawtdog4411]

fuck the pharmaceutical industry, dirty assholes

[DILLSN0OB]

Bro you'll get over it. And I won't start it. So yeah. Good job for trying to stop.

[DeadlyThunder]

Sven, I promise and you can know I'll always be there for you too.

[cloverstylez]

Hey sven. I just stumbled across your vid. I don't know you @ all but I'm proud of you. You're taking the first step. If you really want to beat it you're going to have to surrender. If you're completely honest will yourself you will be able to admit that your way hasn't been successful. Find someone you trust & let them tell you what to do. It's humbling for sure. Contact me on my channel if you want to talk. Best wishes & stay true to yourself!

[bighausify]

Hey everyone, my name is eric, i am a marine, after i got out of bootcamp i went back to my hometown of amarllo and offered services to anyone who needed it at a local AA meeting, i do not use drugs, i do not drink, but after watching what you went through, i offered anyone who needed it. a sponsor. SVEND i hope everything works out for you man, alot of people care about you, including myself. ur a wonderful entertainer, and remember u can always talk to someone.

[qwerty1111142]

I promise SVEND, I will never ever do drugs.

[RAZRr1275]

well i just gave subbed to you before i saw this vid - i'm glad you admitted your addiction. i do think you need to get help though - whether it's telling your family and getting support from them or seeing a professional i think you're going to need someone who your in closer contact with than youtube/phones etc. i hope you can defeat your addiction man. Good luck!

[XxCheRRyZzzz]

[iF0rced]

Ganja aint drugs is it? :D

[89silverbullet]

Mqn, please get in some where to talk. Find a group talk in your area. You are so young you can pull out of it, and it will barely effect your overall goal. Good luck! Faithful subscriber.

[VideoBeginsIn321]

Btw You still are like one of my biggest role models Sven and we all are human and we all have our flaws. I know you can over come this addiction man just don't be afraid to ask for help and as you can see you have a lot of support from me and a lot of other svend army members :) cya later bud

[VideoBeginsIn321]

I won't ever do prescription drugs. Sorry to hear about ur addiction :/ I feel ur pain I have an addiction also... Maybe someday we can skype and chat about it sometime together. I know I can't solve my addiction all by myself but I'm afraid to ask for help and I hunk u feel the same... But Sven you deserve a better life. Just think about maybe going drug rehab for me please. I care a lot about you and if you could get clean from ur addiction I would be he happiest man on the planet. Good luck!

[Trevpwnsnoobs]

thats a bit of a bad situation you got there, i wont ever do prescription drugs.. but ganja is one thing i cant stay away from :D

[DeusXMediaup27a]

youve got a big heart and alot of courage to ever admit such a thing like this... much respect to you dude, and i wish you all the best, after all, it is 2012, time to turn things around :)

[ZombiesRus2]

I hope everything for you gets better. If anyone on YouTube deserves success it's you. We all in the Sven D army got your back for real!

CaPTaiN PauL OUT!!

[TheOJof360]

Addiction is no joke & is tough to fight no matter what the drug or thing is.Also remember the thinner your gold chain...The More Gangster it is

[dustinginer69]

Hey bro drugs are hard to quit but one thing to do it for is for your family nd your girl bro... I give you props she's pretty good looking haha

[DaBigCheesy]

hey bro, im glad that you realize it because if you dont admit it then it wont change, and just so you know ive never gotten drunk and never done drugs (and I have had multiple chances too), and I wont ever do them because I know the effects and I want to be able to live my life to the fullest. love ya bro

[iiStAyMoBBiiNG]

this took balls and i can really see this youtube is a big part of your life and i hope this and friends may help you get threw it i went threw sort of the same thing and i understand what your gooing threw well god bless you and this was a big step towards you changing your life i can tell cause this gameplay is older than other ones i kno you just wanted to get this off your chest..good luck

[asven1989]

@iiStAyMoBBiiNG Thanks man, greatly apprecaite it. It's good to have ppl to relate too. Really can't tell you enough how much i appreciate the support.

[keep2loaded]

btw sorry last comment, but everyoone needs to realize how much balls it took to do this, nothing but respect for you sven. Youtube needs more channels like this, probably one of the most real down to earth ppl ive seen on here yet. keep us informed we all wanna know, plz dont quit cold turkey its way to tuff, slow urself down try to taper down lower n lower, we dont wanna see u hurt. nothing compares to this disease and trying to get off it lots of suport n we are here. every1 like this vid plz

[keep2loaded]

just be strong an dont let ppl around u pressure to get u back into them. My so called "friends" were still offering me stuff when i was trying to get clean, u just gotta think about the better things an just get urself away from these ppl. i know what its like to not be able to function without them, no sleep no appitite, no drive foor anything. ive been at the spot where im hurting froom no pills an felt like dying would be the only way to help. detoxing is the most brutal feeling evr b strong

[keep2loaded]

i wanna say congrats man, and keep ur head up. I was in the same spot, i was into oxys for 4-5 years solid everyday, doin 4-5 80s a day. its hell man it takes over ur life, when u dont have them u feel like death its like the flu times 1000. ive been clean now for 2 yrs i was on methadone at first to get off. Im glad ur doin better bro i know its the hardest thing in the world to stop. atleast ur cool an keep it honest with us ur a good dude an deserve good things. keep it up bro u have r suport

[asven1989]

@keep2loaded Thanks K2P. Hearing something like what you've been through and hearing how you've overcome it is exactly what I need. really appreciate it man, more than you know.

[keep2loaded]

@asven1989

np man, msg me anytime take care

[BlakeRyanJohnson]

I had respect for you before, but after this, i dont' even know what to call it. It takes a lot of willpower and honest desire to change to come out and say this sort of thing. I've noticed trhat around this time of year a lot of people are confessing a lot of their problems, and i think it's so great. you've got a big mass of people behind you man, and they're here to help you through it. You're one hell of a person man.

[asven1989]

@BlakeRyanJohnson na man you guys taking the time out of your day to watch this video and leave some feedback are the real ones who are "one hell of a person." it may seem like a huge thing to do on my part which i agree with, but it's even bigger in my eyes to give support to someone you've never met before. For that I can never thank you enough.

[lordsangone]

It takes alot of balls to come out and tell people your personal problems and i commend you for that. Suboxones are very effective cause it saves you alot of money and pain from the whole drug lifestyle. Pain killers are no joke. They are just as hard to kick if not more than heroin. Stay persistent cause if u want it bad enough u can stay clean. You may already know that there are cool people in the bf and youtube comm that are willing to help. But ultimately you have to help yourself first. G

[DK1ng1908]

Just remember you have all our support. I am sXe (Straight Edge), but only to the extent that i don't do drugs, drink, etc. Even if I wasn't, I'm positive your video would have changed me. Much respect for you Sven.

[asven1989]

@DK1ng1908 I'm really happy to hear that DKing, just stay true to yourself my friend. You have a lot of potential and good times ahead of you, I can just tell from talking with you.

[0rudy826]

sven i promise i will never do drugs.... and if u need someone to talk to u can send me a msg

[asven1989]

@0rudy826 Thanks Rudy, and I'm glad you made the oath, just make sure to stick to it my friend. You've been a really cool person, can't thank you enough.

[datbwoity]

Damn Sven, I would have never known that you had a problem with prescription meds but I glad that you came out and admitted that. That is the 1st step to recovery.

I'm 33yo and I know how bumpy that road can get. The main reason I sub to you was the fact that you give younger viewers some life lessons in you vids.

Each 1, Teach 1 is my motto and keep up the gd work and your head held high bro.

[asven1989]

@datbwoity means a lot datb. Really means a lot hearing stuff like this man. Rly motivates and drives me to continue to help out others.

[MRJYO1992]

@asven1989 if u need anything message me

[cooljason101]

1 person who watch this doesn't know what serious is...

[ReggaePandaLand]

I've gone through two tissues watching this...and there were no womenz in this vid. I'm glad you got this out man, and sure, I promise never to take prescription other than for medical reasons. Not many people have the SvenD army, here when you need us, you've got support here ;)

[brianridgge]

Much love brother.

[ibex1779]

hey man sorry to hear that. i can't even imagine what you are going through... if you ever need talk or something you can always get in touch with me on skype. stay strong and i'm giving you all the support i can from switzerland!

[Raiders102x]

Great video bro! Way to put your heart out there. That could not have been easy. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if you need anything.

[BillKeyz9]

i word BooM!!!

[gundeduscharsnabbt]

Are you swedish?! Cause Sven is a swedish name :o

[208pyro]

sven i promise i will never never ever do drugs sven-d army is going to help you through this

[asven1989]

@208pyro haha thanks Pyro, you're like my little bro so you better not do anything or i'll have to beat you up ;) you're going to be big, don't do anything that can mess that up bud...

[OnlyTubenami]

Sven, keep it up the fight man. You have our collective support!

[TheQuickDecisions]

I promise Sven<3 Im 13 and a lot of my friend are starting to chew and drink. Some are even doing pot. I have thought about drinking a beer now but this video truely made me think twice. Im not gonna be doing any drugs what so ever. Im not drinking beer unless Im of legal age and Im only gonna do it for special occasions. Thanks a lot Sven and I hope everything gets better.

[PCHSRAIDER09]

You know man, I'm a new subscriber to you, and it just amazes me that you would do this. Making this video just goes to show that you are willing to change, that you're willing to fight to become better. There is nothing I can say to make it easier on you or you're family, but I will try. Just keep being strong, look to the future and not to the past. There is something we say in the Marines (I'm not a Marine, I'm a civilian employee) and that is Semper Fidelis=Always Faithful. were here 4 u

[LitaniTilSatan666]

Damn Sven, I know it can be hard. I never got into the really hard chemical shit, but I did pretty much everything else daily for 4 years. Half a year ago, I just stopped, and now the only thing I do is smoke cigarettes.

Drugs can fuck you up real bad, as they did with me. And is just the "softer" stuff. It sounds so damn cliche but its just not worth it.

Anyway Sven, you need to get off that shit. It might seem impossible, but anyone can do it if they want to.

[4emm]

ive always seen drugs as a bad thing im only 11 and drugs really have not been a problem in my family though they can really mess up anyones life you have my promise not to do bad desicions with these things hope you get better

[Dianitrix1]

This truly made me tear up man, not even as a joke. In a matter of speaking, I know exactly how you feel. For anyone that believes substance abuse can become an outlet of safety from the real world, you'd be wrong. I myself have been down the same road, and it is definitely NOT worth it. Sven, it takes a man wanting to better himself to make the step of admittance. Keep strong my friend. We, being a member of the SvenD Marines, will ALWAYS have your back. Through thick and thin, you are a hero.

[murdockjeremy]

good luck to you man

[AustinLuthi]

I promise I will never use prescription drugs for anything other than what they are ment to treat and or cure. Hope you can get over this problem soon.

[Reckless122874]

SvenD- I promise<3 i will not do any drugs proscription or any drugs I mean I'm 14 alot of ppl around me chew and smoke and try to peer pressure me and Iv always said no.. But never really knew why other then I didn't want to but now I keep this promise I'm not going to ever! So I thank you alot! And hope the best bro goodluck.

[asven1989]

@Reckless122874 thanks reckless. peer pressure and who you surround yourself with is some of the biggest challenge man. keep stayin strong man, and thank you very much.

[yanksman52]

@asven1989 ur lucky i dont come up to ny and beat u up lol i dont like liars but i forgive u lol my friends smoke weed but i dont do it i go im good i dont need to smoke but i still love my friends if i come up to ny i might come visit u if its cool and illl beat u up haha jk man love u bro

[Ozku9]

Continue on Sven, we're always here to listen and support you. I will promise i don't strat to use drugs but i can't promise that i wouldn't try some of 'em expect heroin because that i'll never will try. btw what timezone are you because i want to see your Live broadcast.

[asven1989]

@Ozku9 Thanks Ozku, means a lot bud. I'm on Eastern United States time zone. Thank you for your support...

[XDPunisher]

i used to do a lot of coke man. i know how you feel it sux. im 22 as well iv been clean for a year now. i really hope everything works out for!

[asven1989]

@XDPunisher Thanks punisher, hearing stuff like this gives me hope man...Thank you.

[TGUGreg]

I also have alot of people i know struggling with drug addiction and lost some to it as well. But it takes alot of strength to talk about this kinda stuff and i hope you can overcome it. You're Sven-D damn it

[asven1989]

@TGUGreg Sorry to hear that man, and I really appreciate the support my man.

[OneBadGatoV2]

My aunt and uncle both had drug problems. My aunt died and my uncle lives in a shed. This might sound random but I've heard people say they have a problem and they were addicted to XBOX, that kinda pisses me off

[asven1989]

@OneBadGatoV2 Really sorry to hear that Gato. Hope everything works out man, keep your head up, and the best thing you can do is to learn from their situation and better yourself from it.

[WickedArcAddict]

Never taken drugs and never will do. Don't forget that we are here for ya. You have a loyal fanbase you've assembled. Don't ever forget that.

[asven1989]

@WickedArcAddict WickedArc, can't thank you enough to read this. Means a lot man.

[TheeFunkyChicken]

Sven Im guessing the Sven-D Army will help you through it

Good Luck Sven

[asven1989]

@TheeFunkyChicken I'm hoping so :) thanks FunkyChicken!

[TheeFunkyChicken]
