The conversation begins with a discussion on a recent study that claims selling 2/3 pints of beer instead of full pints could potentially reduce overall alcohol consumption. While this may sound effective for social or “normal” drinkers, we dive into why this approach wouldn’t necessarily work for those struggling with alcoholism, who might simply compensate by drinking more of these smaller servings.
From there, we tackle the core question of the episode: Is being "ready" a requirement for getting sober? Often, people...

      @@MarioBarajas-d5k Most toothpaste does not contain alcohol. Toothpaste typically contains ingredients like fluoride, abrasives, detergents, flavorings, and humectants to keep it moist, but not alcohol. However, a few specialty products might include small amounts of alcohol as a preservative or solvent, so it's always a good idea to check the ingredient list if you're avoiding alcohol entirely.

    I’ve been to thousands of 12 step recovery meetings. I was once a homeless heroin addict. Now I’m working on a master’s degree and I work in behavioral health. I smoke pot at night before bed. I have no anxiety. No depression. No OCD. I sleep. My digestive issues aren’t governing my life anymore. The people in the meetings did absolutely nothing for me. I did this myself. God spared my life and I took action. Your guys’ book even talks about God reliance. No human power could have relieved me of my obsession to use. So why do I need the fellowship if I can just go straight to the source? 12 step doesn’t work for everyone.

    Hey, been watching your content since yesterday. I am in love. Keep up the good work! Everytime my current home group goes into total church mode ( a bunch of new folks who are excited about their relationship with their lord and savior and they end up holding the meeting hostage with Bible stuff for almost the whole meeting. Talking about the devil as if someone's higher power can't be the devil ...basic disrespect for other religions) So Everytime this happens I just leave and put in some of your stuff. Keeps me in the focus. Maybe you have some answers for this? Should I try to just accept something that is pushing me away from the group, find a new group, or make an announcement about the religious stuff? I'm not anti religious...exactly, but Im not there to hear Bible verses and go to church. I'm afraid this will end up making me the black sheep and become shunned from the group...I like it here but these new folks are kinda making it difficult to stay.

    It actually worked for me. It was super nice to pick a scene to meditate in. I think its more self care focused snd i get diwn eith that especially if youre antisocial like me. I struggle with certain meetings because recently its been devolving into "JESUS CHRIST IS MY LIRD AND SAVIOR AND IF YOU DONT BELIEV YOURE GOING TO HELL!" and i have left early the past three days because of this. I think ill surf the web for a zoom meeting and try those out. Virtual reality is super helpful. Theres lessons and shit we can pick for different topics and we can watxh them while sitting on a couch in a lovely room...the VR thing i went to for study was awesome. But virtual meetings have definitely helped me. Also side note. Maybe try getting some sober celebrities on? Im sure there will be some people who are willing to sit down for a little while and speak. I just heard you guys are in southern Florida and theres hella people there. You guys are doing good imo.

    I walked away from my best friend of 10 years, one year ago this month. I got tired of being her mental and emotional punching bag, all the drama, hearing she cheated on her gf and the constant worry she was going to hurt herself or others by her reckless, irresponsible behavior. I broke up verbal fights before they went physical on two separate occasions. I still love and miss her, but my own mental health is all the better. It’s hard to stop enabling an addict but it is a MUST! AL-ANON and watching utube videos like this can be so valuable! She went to rehab 3 times. The last was almost 2 years ago. She paid $4,000 out of pocket and had another excuse for why she left the next day. Inside, I was livid but was still trying to be hopeful, positive and supportive. However, it also did something to me and it was the start of the end because as soon as she got back home, she returned to her usual drinking. One day, she wanted to meet for dinner and I said I couldn’t go, but I’d take a rain check. She then left a string of nasty calls and text messages a few days, even saying she wasn’t drunk this time. I ignored them (to this day I never read them all). I’m still in contact with her gf, but not my former bestie. Do what you need to to protect yourself. It’s not being selfish or doesn’t mean you don’t love them, but you MUST love yourself first or they’ll drag you down right along with them!

    It felt like a huge betrayal of their trust & when i took those actions it felt like i was taking strategic aim at their demon of addiction. I told their family members who were fooled into believing their lie that they were clean that they were not clean and so do not provide resource, dont give money but take them to buy things. My addicted boyfriend didn't think that was the right thing to do & that i was disloyal to him & he dismissed me when i said that i was just trying to starve that demon to death; not ruin his life. He claimed he couldn't trust me & we eventually broke up. I can't trust him at all, cuz everything he put me thru with his addiction. I ONLY clued them, his family, in because the addiction to crack had gotten so severe and i was afraid for his life. He od perished and was brought back the first time he did fentanyl & it just seems like all hope is lost for every person I've known who went from meth, crack, or heroin to fentanyl. Did i do the right thing by telling his family? I feel like i need to get that really figured out in case I'm in this situation again... because it feels like i lost the relationship because i approached addiction like war and there are no rules, so shared his secret. So I'm really asking. Also i felt bad like i was lying to them just by my God clean Christian self being his girlfriend, cuz that helped maintain the lie that he was clean. But they were witnessing him nodding out & asking me with such pleading if hes ok. If that was the right thing i really wanna be sure.... cuz what it cost me to just maybe get him clean, losing him, i know im gonna want to keep my mouth shut next time.

    Kratom allowed to remain sober when my life fell apart due to unforeseen circumstances straight after 7 months of rehab, a relapse, another month of rehab. Then I discovered kratom and ive been able not to go back to drugs and alcohol even tho I lost everything that counted for. I recovered from those traumatic life events since then, and after a 2.5 years daily use with almost no side effects, i currently use it sporadically when i have the feel for it. And im an addict. So kratom is a lifesaver, the best harm reduction tool there is because it works for every DOC. I was addicted to alcohol , meth, crack, coke, speed and others. But no opiates or opioids, and kratom worked for me. And never i am high on kratom because perception and judement isnt altered. You dont know what youre talking about and you even claim during that vidéo that you dont know what kratom is. Get informed. There s tons of success stories out there.
