I’m getting back to the interview episodes. And from time to time I’m going to be bringing on people who have been locked up and have very crazy and interesting stories. Garrett’s story was a great place to start.
Show some love and Sub to the channel..!!!

Show Garrett some love for agreeing to be a part of the APS FAMILY now!!! It takes some real GUTS to be on camera telling a story like this!
hope hes still going strong and living the life he wants. always want a happy ending for people even more so when they had a rough life
Why did you two go inside? Did it start raining? And wow he's awesome if he can forgive her SAME DAY!! I hope he's still clean and doing well and congrats on 1 plus years of being clean!
keep your head up garrett. my pops is gone from drugs (years now) ive buried 4 of my best friends i grew up with from dope, in an out an luckily i got with my wife an she got me clean an sober for a little bit before we had our kids. I been down a bad bad road too. but keep it moving an stay sober even a min at a time. i hope your out there clean an well even now
This isbnoe of the realest videos I have watched about addiction and how to try to come back. I know this old but thank you.
Xanax alone can cause hostility. My brother and I fist fought, broke this dude's house all up and we came to we looked at one another and wondered who kicked our ass. Lol
You got this Garrett 🙂
Im the same with my direct family. How can you live together, or keep in contact, if u cant find a way to forgive eachother ?
I could write a book on this one. I've been clean for 6 years+, and I can tell you that you NEED that forgiveness. It's 2018, and people are JUST NOW figuring out that drug addiction is an actual ILLNESS instead of a behavior problem.
I do want to comment on his "I didn't care who I hurt". I don't think that's true at all, because I've been there. It's not that you don't CARE, it's that when you're in that situation, you can justify any behavior that helps you acquire the drug, and to STOP HURTING; stop hurting PHYSICALLY and to stop hurting MENTALLY. You can justify it in your mind, saying things like "Well, if he knew how bad I was hurting or how sick I was, he would understand why I need some money or some of his pills" or "My kids are young, they won't remember, and I'm not hurting them" even though you're not fully there for them as you should be because you're self medicating all that pain. Then, once you sober up, reality sets in, and you think "OMG, I hurt SO MANY PEOPLE. I LIED to SO MANY PEOPLE". You can see and almost FEEL his self loathing. He won't even make eye contact, even when he's talking about those changes.
You have to learn to FORGIVE your self eventually or you'll never heal. You have to FINALLY get to a point where you say "OK, That was NOT me in my normal state, that was under the influence of a drug, and the effects of withdrawal". It's OK to NOT hate yourself forever over it. Sure, you've done some really bad shit, but you DO have to try to forgive yourself eventually. I used to think that was so cliche to say "Forgive yourself", but it's really true. You do have to stop absolutely hating yourself and finally think that you're worth something before you can actually start healing from all of this past trauma. I'm not saying you have to be ok with what you did, you know what you did was wrong, but you can't just continue to punish yourself for it, especially because it can eventually lead to using again.
I hope this guy is still doing great, and I hope anyone else here suffering from addiction can get help soon. No one can tell you to get clean, you have to get sick of feeling like garbage all the time. Don't feel ashamed if you have to get help either, from a doctor or a friend. Sometimes willpower alone just isn't enough, and that does NOT make you weak. I wish you all the best!
Garrett's a beast! Proud of you Fam! Glad to see you beat your demons and are doing so damn good! Congrats Bro!
sO FUCKING STUPID , you say shes your family you cant press charges. What kind of family member tries to fucking kill you. Shes not going to get fixed by not pressing charges. Her mentality is fucked and he is only hurting himself and her by letting her off.
I just want to hug this man
Sure i could forgive cus bitches be crazy
Anyone else notice the fist mark in the wall behind him?
Good luck Garrett you have been thru alot but it seems like you are doing good and trying to stay on the right path im very proud of you.
BE CAREFUL…..A SISTER DOES NOT STAB A BROTHER FOR NO GOOD REASON……I MEAN HE HAD TO BE TACKLED….???? …I MEAN HIS…YEA…..IS LIKE….yea…
Thank you for sharing Garrett, I can relate on just about everything you've been through. I hope all is still well.
Never done anything horrible like that. Went to his own fathers. That beyond dispicable. This not person. This is an animal. Stabbed by his own family. Glad I dont have a ghetto family
This channel is the best, positive, and motivating, and love spreading channel ever
This was a very hard video to watch. I put my sister through a lot of bs through her life & she always forgave me & helped keep me inline just about. She's gone now & I'm trying so hard to keep her last promise to be a good person, everyday is a struggle & feels like it's getting harder. I miss & think about her everyday. R.I.P Kim x
Good for u Garrett 💙😇ðŸ™ÂÂ
I thought xanax makes u calm….
do an update on garrett
Who is this guy ? My heart goes out to him ♥︠don't be to hard on yourself love we all make mistakes … I been there .. u got this 💪
If anyone sees this and can give me answers every time I like a video and I go to full screen it unlikes the video. Why does this keep happening and does that mean my likes arent even going to the video??
Great job, Garrett. I wish you continued success in your life.
Can we have an update on this guy, Joe?
1. They KNEW horrible things occur under the influence.
2. They got high together.
3. I wonder if he previously hurt his sister. Best not to press charges.
HOW can you be so fucked up on xanax that you’re physically fighting?! I have a fairly large prescription for it and I am tired alllll the time, just constantly napping. I’ve taken it with alcohol when I was young not realizing it wasn’t like every other prescription when they say not to take it with alcohol and I just ended up falling all over myself and then down concrete stairs. No way I had the coordination to fight/stab. This is wild.
He has a he'll of a story now and I'm glad he cleaned up but how is he doing now?
I think i tried to strangle my brother on xanax, i say i think because i don,t remember i'm told i tried to strangle. Their fucking evil pills when abused i can just imagine washing them down with whiskey. Keep up the good work my man.
Forgive? Real family would forgive family but then again real family wouldn't stab u in the face so I don't know
This sort of videos are really good and interesting. Should try do a few more like this?
Poor guy
I wonder what ever happened to this dude. To tell you the truth he kinda sounds like the new guy joe has been hanging out with
Way to go Garrett!!!!!
I’m struggling with the opiates too man I’m very young only 16 and I recently had my first overdose and I’m working on myself. You’re not alone g.
The sad news is Garrett passed away Wednesday night of an overdose ðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ’â€Â
