And I'm gonna keep posting
Transcript
Somebody asked me the other day, Brennon, why you keep posting pictures and videos on TikTok. Listen man, I work in the oil field and I'm outside all day in Louisiana. You know how hot that thing is right there? It's hot. All right? I don't want to do this for the next 30 years. All right? That plus I've been sober for about three and a half months now. You know how hard it is to stay sober in the oil field? It's hard. All right? I got a substantial amount of debt that I'm cleaning up. My teeth go $17,000 to fix. Yeah. You know how hard it was to stay sober when I found that out? I'm in the process of doing that. But if this is a way to get me out of that, so be it. I'll sit here and post 35 videos a day. That's my answer to that question.

Being sober and staying sober is hard enough. The situation I’m in is nobody’s fault but mine and it’s a process that I have to face. If TikTok can help me through that process I’m going to use to my advantage. #sober #fyp #carhartt #hardlife #consequences
