This is a YouTube video titled "True Story: Dan's entire life was in shambles" created on May 15, 2023. It features a conversation between Amber Hollingsworth and Dan discussing the struggles of addiction, focusing on the transition from using substances for pleasure to using them for survival.

I want to zone in there just a little bit, Dan. Because we have a lot of families that watch. And at this point in an addiction story. And, Dan, you tell me if I'm wrong. It's not about getting high.
No.
It's about surviving. He's not leaving work to go get high. He's leaving work to get what he needs to just.
Be okay. Yeah. No, like I said before, the party was definitely over.
It's not fun anymore.
No.
And then you're trapped.
Yeah. I remember lots of times before work, like, not even really dope sick yet or anything. Thing in the morning with looking at big lines on the coffee table and just crying because that's $175 or whatever. If I don't take it, I'm gonna get so sick I can't work.
