Well done, Matt! I would absolutely love for someone I know to use their God given creativity to do this, instead of scheming on how to get their next D.O.C. I AM PROUD OF YOU! KEEP WORKING the steps, especially the last two. Naysayers are usually those that don't want to face their own issues. Forget about them. (How do y'all say it in the Northeast? ; ~D) God bless!!!

it would be Great for You to publish this in a book! :))

@81Steved ....Matt is not glamorizing anything here. To glamorize is to romanticize...Matt is demonizing the usage if anything by carefully cycling images a of users in a negative light. I think the footage is great.  Well done and cheers.

I went to school with this guy, he is amazing, the things he has gotten past, shit the things we have all gotten past, when we were in school we had like give people commit suicide, that fucked us all up. Some of us turned to drugs to ”get away” but @ the guy who said that its not good to talk about the drugs and all that, you are completely wrong, it is good that he talks about it, it makes him a stronger person to express how he feels about it.

@81Steved

The words hes speaking are a form of art, hes expressing himself on a site that was built off of creativity. It's by no means glamorizing drugs, it's reflecting and shedding light on all to common instances that happen to people in life. And the more you keep heavy problems in the shadows the more they grow, it's called spreading awareness. Sugar coating is what the government does, stop being politically correct, ignorance is for the narrow minded, broaden your horozins.
