Amber. Thank you for all you do. When i didnt know where to turn with my addicted BF i found you. Thanks for giving your time to help people ❤❤
Thankyou Amber, your advise is helping me understand ive been an acoholic 25 years im just sick of it i get off it but relapse i need a way out there is no control with this drug it is hell on earth staying off it you need the right people around you to succeed in my opinion
Firstly, thanks for this channel. Love to watch and learn. I have stopped drinking for 22years. The thing I need to watch for is romanticising the idea of having a drink to celebrate something or how nice it would be to have a drink at some moments. To deal with it, I remind myself of the reality of why I stopped. I say to myself " come on now, it's not great and you know it ". That helps me with occasional cravings that come up.
" come on now, it's not great and you know it ". -- Love it! 💯true!
My husband will admit that he is an alcoholic and he will never stop drinking. He says things like it’s a disease and he inherited it also it it helps him. Then he will say he feels better when he doesn’t drink and that his health is better. He has other change talk to. He has cut his drinking way back. (Drunk all the time 1 gallon of rum to 1/5 or so just on weekends) I think me doing the positive changes has helped him cut back and maybe he’ll stop completely. He’s being honest with me tho about his drinking and the amount so that’s something
These statements are spot on and resonate so clearly to me. How do you get your addicted love one to look at these self exploration statements on there own? Forced, encourage, meet them where there at. Tried all.
5 irrational beliefs
1. I'm not really an alcoholic (disqualifying oneself from the label- "I don't drink every day", "I can quit whenever I want", "I'm not stealing to do it", "I'm not as bad as other people", "I don't have any legal problems because of it"). You don't have to be in end-stage addiction for the drinking to represent a significant problem (at work, in your relationships, for your health, maintaining your values) that really needs to be assressed.
2. I can control it ("This time will be different", "I can cut it back", "I can just drink in certain contexts/just on the weekends, set aside a budget and not go over, have a loved one manage dispensing it, only buy the mini bottles, use a different drug...). Dishonesty with oneself. With addiction come brain modifications so as soon as you start thinking about it you activate those neural pathways and it starts the craving. Number one way people get back into their addiction.
3. Biggie: I can do it myself. These people can admit they have an addiction and that something needs to be done about it. However you need some system or some other person as an outside reference point, because addiction works by lying to you and skewing your internal compass. You become good at lying to and manipulating yourself that you can't trust yourself and you don't even know that you're doing it.
4. "I'm not hurting anyone". Allows yourself to make a bad decision. However even if no one witnesses or knows about what you're doing, if you have anyone who relies on or cares about you, you are not giving them your best and at worst, what is going on with you is tearing them apart. As humans wr are social creatures that do not survive in isolation, we are interconnected and what we do affects others.
5. "That's not fair". Everyone does it, I work hard, I'm a grown up, I should be able to relax, enjoy, be like everyone else. Self pity that contributes to justifying a bad decision.
Bonus
6. I can't because... version of self pity but letting oneself off the hook.
7. That one rule doesn’t apply to me.
Spot on! You get an A+++++
Thanks again Amber, we made it a month and I noticed some of the changes you mentioned
That's fantastic! Nice work, Seven 💯💯💯
Remember being in a slimming club many years ago and a neighbour was also attending. She was constantly blaming the facilitator for the fact she wasn't losing weight, saying things like "your not motivating enough" "your scale is off" etc... Funny thing is everyone else in the class was losing weight weekly. My neighbour eventually stopped attending and while sitting having tea with her one day as she took a huge bite of chocolate cake she told me how I was wasting my time attending the slimming class 🤔.. how she couldn't exercise because she was too busy and how she was going to lose her weight "one day" by herself. It always stayed with me how we could sit in front of God himself and walk away convincing ourselves of reasons he's wrong in his direction for a better life. Human nature I suppose.
Just started watching but the title is exciting. 😁
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much, Katherine!!!😃😃😃😃⭐⭐💖💖💖💖
Stress is sò much and anxiety.
I Iwould love to speak with you one on one if that was possible. My wife of 5 years is an alcoholic, and I'm trying to figure out where she is in the process, and I'm trying to decide how long I can hold out without seeing progress. I'm sure you're crazy busy, but do you do one on one sessions still? Thank you!
My husband videotapes me in my bathroom. My husband videotapes my minor children in our bathroom. I have been to group counseling, and in Arizona private counseling services. PCS said they would send out somebody to make a phone call but they did not. They live in torture torment of being watched. My husband has placed video cameras and a USB cord for a charger behind his tall boy dresser cabinet to watch me. My husband has Botton DVD machines to record a close on our bedroom not my permission. We’re both on the lease when we sign the lease. The lease says no cameras.
I am tired of being addicted 😇🙏😁❤️🌺
Heard most of these from my daughter
This was so helpful!
QUESTION: So how do confront these comments ?
Is there anyway I can talk to you one on one your are great.! I’m a alcoholic and would like to do a online meeting with you.
QUESTION
What is the hope for an addict that was sober for 11 years, then started using daily for 3 years then sober for 1 year and now using daily again for the past year? Idk what to say to them or how to help without enabling them. I dont understand how they were sober longer than using and why the mary go round continues. They got sober cold turkey no rehab or anything both times. Do they choose to use or are they really struggling?
Good question... After being Sober so long, it was a decision to go back to using. Usually the person convinces themselves that it won't be like last time. But once they open the door to it, it takes over again.
@@PutTheShovelDown so what can I do ? Or what should I not do? They have not had to lose anything yet and so they dont see the motivation to quit other than guilt and admitting its wrong, admitting they feel bad, but they just dont care. They admit its an addiction and they know its costing a lot of time, money, they just dont care. What can be helpful with a poor attitude like that? They claim to wish they could quit again because its the right thing to do , but they dont WANT to. It is not that they cant, they WONT. Im just at a loss. Idk what to say, what to do, im just lost

Any chance you are in EAST TEXAS or know someone good in EAST TEXAS? I am so addicted to kratom and I don’t know what to do anymore.
