The escapism is very real when it comes to alcohol and other substances, even the internet and food. I love that y'all touched on this topic. When we aren't connected to a purpose, life feels draining and disconnected. We can get so wrapped up in ourselves. I love how Damon mentioned being of service and being grateful and how that pulls us out of ourselves without using a substance.
When Damon was going on his book tour I came to see you two in LA. I thought at the time that I was going to move to Italy that year but life happened and just a few days ago I moved to Puerto Escondido MX. I was very emotional that day because sitting and talking in front of me were two people who embodied my dream. It was almost proof that the life I want exists and isn’t just a dream on a screen. I remember how kind and thoughtful your response to my question was about how will I know when the right time to travel is. I felt like you really saw me and knew exactly what to say. So, thank you💜 I feel like I just started a new life and it’s crazy and overwhelming and scary but also very beautiful and fun. It’s like I’m proving to myself that I can be all the things I want to be. And both of you have been a really positive influence and sense of direction. I’m really glad that you both put out your beautiful energies to the world! 💙💚❤️💛💜❤️🩷🩵🤍💙
Nice conversation. I also grew up with opposites, a unhealthy drinker who became violent when drinking and one who never touched anything. I rarely drink, but I do sometimes take a beer when I sit with my exams because it just chills my body a bit( anxiety). I love going out dancing and that is the only time I feel a bit pressured to drink, I wish there where more clubs that was non alcoholic.
Misako, thank you for starting this conversation. I am interested to see how honest we'll be in discussing this topic. Personal revelation for me as we approach 2024. I'm excited and ready...*YAY TO DAMON'S APPEARANCE!!!*
loveeddd this video! i live in miami and its so hard trying to maintain relationships without drinking and i wish it wasnt always like that. i think its crazy how much we're culturally forced to drink here just to socialize.
Love this collab!! 🥰❤️👏🏾 I've never really had an issue with alcohol, I used to think I needed it in social settings for ”confidence”, but thankfully I got over that. Now I just drink it casually and never too much. And currently I've not had any alcohol since new year’s I think. Around me, drinking is not that big of a thing..I guess I started drinking when I turned 18 cus that's when it was legal. I feel my relationship with alcohol is pretty healthy. I don't need it and I don't like the taste of it mostly except maybe sweet wines on special occasions. I enjoyed this conversation, it was a really nice and easygoing chat ❤
Shrooms isnt the escapism part? Come on Damon yoube done both where drinking id culturally the acceptable weekend lifestyle for the normal 9-5 so to qoute the sober life choice was to keep you on tract or not to deter you from your path is such the perfectist view and workscholic culture that leds to a burn out that the weekend life relieves you from. So lets drink
cool, cool, but i thought i bought anti-glare lenses?
Always have an existential criss when I listen to Damon 😅... and then somehow, he always brings me back down to earth. 😂
dream collab
💯💯💯

Love this. Congrats on launching this series 💐
my 2 favs ahhhhhhh ❤
loved this❤
Such a cool convo! I’m not sober but I will order a hot tea at the club lol
I have stopped drinking because it is a poor coping mechanism. When you have true issues and not handling them healthily then alcohol is a PROBLEM.
i love this
That poor pillow !!!😂
DAMON D!
Yeah...
