Since the falling apart of their previous band Vladimir, Wubbo Siegers and Sander van der Linden haven’t stopped making music. Accompanied by Chris Siegers on bass and Jan Dekker on trumpet, Novack finished their debut album "Sequences & Stills" in 2010. The result is a subtle, layered piece of work, with references to and somewhere inbetween Elbow, The Notwist and Death Cab For Cutie. Novack grew out to a six-man band and recently signed with V2 Records. The record was released on January 31, 2011.

I’ve been sober for about 2 years. Don’t know how many days that is and I don’t care. For me keeping track of the days was a reminder of exactly how long ago I was a fuck up. I believe at a certain point you should just put it behind you and forget about it instead of constantly reminding yourself of your mistakes and white knuckling your way through life.

@@AlmightyLoudHey there! It's the hardest thing overcoming stuff like heartbreaks and disappointments especially when you're an addict but believe that it's always darkest before the light. Seek help if you have to, talk to someone and most importantly take it in stride. Always remember that people are out here going through worse stuff than you. You gotta seize your destiny by putting your recovery first. Godspeed!

I really hit rock bottom a few weeks ago. I lost my 3rd job in a row, was in deep tax debt and unemployable. I blamed everything except the fact I drank 20-30 units of alcohol a day. As soon as I embraced sobriety, things have drastically improved. I was having daily panic attacks when I woke up that would last 20 minutes and would leave me exhausted. I now jump out of bed full of energy. I used to throw up every single morning pure bile and acid, now I can actually eat again. If you are struggling, know you are not alone. There are 130m+ alcoholics in the world, and millions of drug addicts. Know you are not your addiction, you will beat it, and you will be free!

Nightmare50g he’s basically saying that every time he got drunk and high was because he was “promised” a better life from the drugs, that he would be happier. But in reality sobriety has given him all those things he was looking for when he was getting high. Now he is happy without drugs and alcohol.

@meltingpotmeme6181

5y↑13

Negative, if drugs were legal not only would prices be a tiny fraction of what they currently cost. But the ill affects from them would be lessened to such a degree that they would be as easy as antidepressants to get off of and as impacting as a cup of coffee. This is both subjective and factual. Some stances ive never let up on over the years. This is one of them. Good day.

I doubt Brandon will see this but I got arrested last year and left fulton county jail, homeless on christmas eve of 2020. I slept outside in a parking garage before I was picked up by two Georgia tech police officers. I was freezing to death. I had a Shirt pulled over my knees. I wound up back on methadone for 10 days before entering treatment and during that time I watched this video. the similarities were uncanny! We had almost the exact same story of addiction right down to sleeping outside on Christmas eve! I was in tears watching this and entered rehab. I have now been out of rehab for a while and am still active in recovery. I have even taken a couple guys through the 12 steps. I start Monday as a halfway house manager. You have no idea how much this story meant to me brandon. Maybe our paths will cross one day.

Hands down as I sit about in tears, I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict with 51/2 years sober. That was the best video I’ve ever seen. It’s about not just about Brandon but myself and I’m sure many others. All I can say is Praise God and thank you for sharing your story. I’m now in awe and speechless……and heartbroken in a good way.

As long as I don't buy it or let a sip of alcohol passed my lips I'll be ok and if I can't then I'm as good as dead. I'll watch everything I've built and love fade in the rear view while I wake up everyday and choose alcohol and keep telling myself yes. I refuse that. I refuse to be the problem any longer. I refuse to wake up every day and not choose my family.

My father was a Vietnam vet and he started doing heroin. He died from it when I was 3 and my mother and stepfather both heroin addicts . They got clean when I was about 11 . I told myself I would NEVER be like them! I thought of heroin like it was poison! So I get to high school, I was in the popular group and we partied hard. It was great times with weed , beer, cocaine, Ecstasy and girls! And it was the most fun I had for 10 years! Then I turned 25 and some pills started going around that made you work harder and longer! It made waking up in the morning to go to work much easier! And within a year I was sticking needles in my arm! From 25-35 i was in pure misery! Either to high or to sick to care about anything but getting high! But today im 43 I have 7 years clean and now I can’t understand who I was anymore! Thank god for that! It is no longer a struggle to stay clean! I love who I am today and I don’t need the drugs to make me feel good anymore! But thank you for sharing your story! Im sure it will help some addicts ! 100% !
