Daniel from Love After Lockup swears he’s turned over a new leaf. But his mom fears that he could get sucked back into the world of drugs. In this clip from the Sept. 27 season finale of the WE tv reality series, he tries to reassure her that he’ll stay on the straight and narrow after his prison stint.

Daniel spent time in prison because of a DUI. While behind bars, he met Bianca, who’d reached out because she nearly lost her life in a DUI accident. She was trying to learn more about why someone would drink and drive. But soon, she and Daniel developed a serious romantic connection, and the two got engaged. 

Now, Daniel is out of prison and ready to start a new life with Bianca. But as he sits down with his loved ones for a post-release meal, his mom admits she’s worried about what’s next. 

“It just takes once for him to slip up and take something and die,” she says. “Once. One time. And that to me is like, I’m going to worry for a while.” 

“It’s something I’m always going to struggle with,” Daniel admits. “The pull for a glass of wine. Or if I see drugs it’s going to trigger some type of memory that I have of doing it. I’m gonna struggle with that for my entire life.”

“If that happens, it’s gonna break my heart,” his mom says as she tears up. 

Daniel tells his mom he loves her. “I’m never gonna do that to myself,” he says. “I’m never gonna do that to any of you.”
