It did my head in. Like, dude, like..... Five likes in every sentence. I lasted 12 minutes before I stopped watching. No big insights into drugs or addiction. But the sequence where he's bouldering on the horizontally fluted rock was beautifully filmed.

I thought it was a good video. He really opens up about his addiction issues. Its cool he went back and climbed the boulder he lied about. That must have felt like redemption for him. 

I've had my own substance abuse issues, particularly alcohol and can relate. Just this year I've been in ambulances and been hospitalised. It's not easy but stories like this give hope.
