Thank goodness it’s all just fairytales and mythology because religion is definitely horrible and pretty ridiculous. If it helps some people then good but it makes no sense at all.

Brad, I so admire that heart of gold that you have, your resilience & especially your mindset. I know that feeling all too well, waiting for the other shoe to drop. (I have PTSD & anxiety too.) Always, & without even trying. It is such an unsettling, sometimes unpredictable feeling. Also, not having family or a sense of belonging. Its feeling displaced. Im sorry you know this pain. Despite where youve been, just look where you are now. You are setting a wonderful example for your daughter, she has a father she can be proud of. You also share your home with fur babies, which are not to be taken lightly. I know, my cat literally saved my life just a few years ago. Learning to love ourselves is extremely difficult when its never been taught, but you are proof that it isnt impossible. Continue to do the next right thing, & as you know, everything will fall into place. Go where the love is, dont settle for less. You deserve it! P.S. I hope to see you again ❤

I am so proud of this man! We met as teenagers in 2000. Not to go into too much detail, but we have been through a lot together and I can vouch that he is telling the complete truth! His truth and his story. I have seen and lived situations that would categorize as unbelievable and beyond crazy with Bradley, and I can say He has overcome an enormous amount of set backs that could have very well been the end. His journey is so powerful beyond what he could tell everyone in this video. Where we come from in itself is a story to be told! I hope and I know many will benefit in some way from simply being able to relate to his life going through things like childhood traumas and drug use and such. Love you Always Bradley! And so very very Proud of you! God had and still has bigger plans for you! ❤️ Much Love ❤️

Amen! I just lost it crying when he said “I don’t have alot of Money but I’m happy!” His Testimony is showing how God uses us especially when we find out that he is the ultimate power... This is the reason I believe in Holistic Care Body, Mind and Soul God heals. Thank you so much Mark I started following SWU last year on Amanda’s story and one of my patients kept on telling me she had helped a man heal from Bipolar through prayer and teaching them about Jesus. And she said he never needed medication again and when I saw Amanda’s story I was like this is kinda the same thing. Spiritual warfare was real and AURA (treatment) was a bit intense but it helped her to find her sense of purpose and her higher self. This post might not make a lot of sense to a lot of people but after working as a CNA for 4 years especially with dementia patients and studying spirituality (demonic attacks) ect…I have concluded most people who endure the most pain and suffering are spiritually inclined. Substance use and abuse will for sure take a hold sting hold on them if they do not find a higher power and something to hang in to (grounding themselves) on earth to stay present.

His life story hit me straight to my core. I now know why I do some of the things I do. I have had two suicides and a murder in my family. Him sharing such a personal experience of how he handled trauma has allowed me to understand myself a little better. He has no idea how much he has truly helped me and hopefully others. I wish nothing but the best in life for this young man. May he be showered with all the peace, self love, and happiness until the end of time. Thank you from the depths of my heart!!!!

I didn’t witness it physically the way Brad did, as I had cut communication 2 years prior, but I got the call a few years back that my dad tried to take his life. Shot himself twice. He was a raging alcoholic/addict my entire life (and after spending 2 months in a coma in the ICU, got right back into the drugs and drinking every second of the day) My dad is bipolar and so am I. I was drowning the painful flashbacks of my childhood in liquor at the time I got that call but I’m 3 years sober now. When my dad attempted to take his life I realized I didn’t want to watch myself go down the path he did. I also have cptsd and am trying to work on healing and living a more peaceful life without the monster of addiction. We didn’t deserve the abuse we went through as children. None of it. And I pray you continue to let God help you heal. I will too.
