In this brief, first‑person video, Dallas Bragg recounts his last Christmas in 2017 when he was still using drugs. He describes the physical signs of his addiction—needle marks on his chest and forehead, self‑inflicted digging on his head—and a desperate moment when he and friends stole extension cords to plug into a neighbor’s outlet so they could have power. The monologue paints a vivid picture of how low his life had fallen six years ago. Bragg then pivots to an encouraging message, asserting that if he was able to recover from that state, anyone struggling with addiction can also find hope and rebuild their life.

So this was me, 2017, December 19th, actually, 6 years ago. This was my last Christmas being high. As you can tell, I was in pretty bad shape. If you can look at the little tick marks on my chest, my forehead, they were all over my head is where I was digging. I was at this point, I had no power. I was waiting for my friends to come. And we bought— we stole, sorry, a bunch of extension cords and plugged them into our neighbor's, my neighbor's patio outlet. And voilà, we had power. We were able to see, to feel the needles, and we started the night. That was my life 6 years ago. And I'm saying, if that is your life now, there's hope. There is a chance for you to rebuild your life. If I can do it and recover from this, anybody can.
