Prior to ayahuasca, he was Ron the Grey. Now he is Ron the White.
how much willit cost to have him say "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"

@@mattpassos5689 you win the internet for the day! That was awesome :)
thank you
Ron white is one of my favorite comedians, knowing that he is sober is really encouraging to me. I have 493 days today. 😊
🎉🙌🏻👏🏻
Awesome
Sober is abstinence from ALL mind altering substances
That's funny, he's always been and still is my favorite comedian dispite the fact he quit drinking. lol
Hope you're still at it
As a father whose kids mean the world to him. Quitting drinking is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. It's saved my life physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially. If anyone out there is struggling it is hard but it is possible.
whose not who is.
The problem is alcohol has health benefits in small quantities I know people that have gone there like you don't want to hear it but it's true, some of the longest living people drank alcohol, mainly because it's such an excellent straa reliever and takes your mind out of the horrible Normal consciousness, but it has polyphenols and lots of antioxidants, especially red wine!!! Especially! So if you quit drinking I recommend replacing it with something else that takes you out of the normal consciousness, mostly when your stressed stress is the ultimate killer. Dr Ryan.
Bless you man. You have NO idea how much that will mean to your kids. My dad will never quit. I am an adult child of an alcoholic and though I know it's a "disease", the thing that always stands out to me is that he loves the alcohol more than any of us. It's a rough feeling.
I no longer know if I believe alcohol should be drinkin at all! but replace it with something that lowers your stress, ideally we should all be meditating and that I will always think, there's still a small possibility that natural red wine in small amounts can be beneficial. But were not here to escape from our problems were here to learn.
Trying hard.
Psychedelic and psilocybin containing mushroom in general are amazing. Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life honestly from depression and cptsd. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.benfungi.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
Holy shit. That's incredible. He was the last guy I would've imagined to take that path. I'm super happy for dude.
Seriously
Psychedelics, when used responsibly, can really heal.
I'm sure it took a lot of hard work from him too. Proud of him. I had no idea he was like this now, and what a nice surprise.
racist
cirrhosis will do that.
serious lebowski dude vibes
Dude went from looking 80 to 60 real quick. Super stoked for him. Glad we'll have him around for longer.
wait what
Hell yeah. The body is amazingly stront and resilient.
Coming from irish and polish families I have seen that people have two choices at the end when their health starts to fail.. You either wittingly drink yourself to death or make the choice to get well.. Problem is that by the time they make that choice the damage has often allready been done..
Props for ron to self reflect in a healthy enough capacity to make the choice before hitting the endgame phase
Such a great story! I was drinking like Ron for a good 20 years, and it took a spiritual experience for me to quit. I was very blessed to hear Ron’s version of healing. Helps me a little more too. Haven’t had a drink in 8 years! I tried to taste it once, and it made me sick. So I think I’m healed! Thanks Ron and Tom!!
“They had to take a truck off the route when I quit.” I died laughing typing that. Ron White never misses. Happy to see him happy and healthy
I wondered why they quit sending me to Ft Smith, AR!
It's really good to see him taking care of himself. He actually looks way healthier too.
Yeah he looks GREAT
Man looks like he's preparing to play God himself in a movie. I'd watch the shit outta that
Agreed
@@Conorfm omfg, you just gave the idea for the next big comedy! Ill start a rough draft tonight.
@@Azriel884 it needs to happen! A cynical, sharp tongued, genie like God who helps the shows other human protagonist navigate the trials of early adulthood. Or something like that
Couldn't be a more true statement from this man "I believe that there is so much alcohol that you can drink in a lifetime, and I drank mine." Huge respect to Ron White for kicking alcohol. It's an unbelievably hard thing to do, all the love.
Its true to the point of life or death, my father drank heavily, daily until 68, the years almost took its toll in 2019 and scared him straight, hes been clean since, thankful for every day.
honestly ron drank so much already that its done its toll, hes just looking at it in a way which says *all my drinking didnt do anything to my health because i stopped before it was too late* ...he will pass of kidney failure or some liver shit eventually
It's really not that hard to quit. When I started puking up blood, it was very easy for me to quit.
@@bradleyvantassal8328 Sounds like you had a wake up call similar to myself. I consider myself lucky enough to have had a wake up call with the addiction that stole 10 years from me. But simply because it wasn't hard for you, doesn't mean it's not a hard thing to accomplish for everyone.

Right on, Ron. I'm sober 145 days today. The day after I decided to quit, I found out my uncle had died of an overdose. 58 days later my aunt (his wife) also died of an overdose. The pain has been excruciating. My journey into sobriety is just beginning but I'm ready to have a new future. I did it for me but I like to think that my aunt and uncle are proud of me too. They were together 39 years on this earth. May they rest together in peacefully in eternity. All my love Sean and Angel ❤
That is awesome. You can do it.
Congratulations! Keep moving forward ☺️
And condolences for the loss of your family members 🤍
I’m 19 years sober. Stay tuff sister
❤
God bless you! It is not an easy thing to do, but it will be the best decision you will ever make. I have been sober for over 20 years and it saved my life.
Im just shocked! Im so used to seeing him sweaty and drunk ive never actually seen him this clean. He looks like he uses dove beauty bar. The man is glowing.
Even his hair looks healthier.
@@cardboardcheddah3715 It's so nice it almost looks like a high quality lace front
HAHA.... Dove Beauty Bar! LOL
This post! 💐
It’s the mushrooms
Had the privilege of meeting Ron about 7-8 yrs ago at a charity golf tournament. Such a genuine person and very appreciative of the military/my service. I still have a bottle of his tequila I received as a gift unopened. I’m glad to see you taking care of yourself. Your comedy is hilarious with or without drinking. You don’t need the booze to be you. I would like to see you again and I wish you nothing but the best. Take care Ron.
that's really cool! he seems like a kinda guy who would be approachable. and down to earth regarding a conversation with a stranger or fan
The upside to not drinking was so big nothing else mattered. I feel exactly like that now. I remember seeing he give it up before me and I kinda laughed to myself KNOWING health wise (49) I needed to as well. But at the moment I was drunk and most assuredly didn’t care. I am proud to be sober now.
Everyone should support him. You have no idea how important it is that him, and others of his stature with various addictions stay clean and sober. You never know how many people could be saved if they continue to show us all that it’s possible to get better.
Right, he jokes about it like it’s no big deal. But then he casually mentions he’s been to rehab, hypnotists, doctors are giving him bad news, he gets rejected at an ayahuasca retreat for drinking too much 😬 sounds like it was pretty serious and I’m really glad he’s doing well!
He is not fucking sober!!!!!
@@chrisoneill4211 well hes not a fall down fuckin drunk either
There's nothing inspirational about going from a drunk to a drug addict. He's a horrible role model for someone actually trying to get clean.
@@DUHRIZEO Inspiration wasn’t the word I used. I said we should support him. The inspiration will depend upon his actions going forward, and he may or may not succeed.
You can tell that his energy is different, it's phenomenal to see
Yes much more coherent, huge difference from seeing him on JRE
he looks majestic now
Echo!

Much more self aware
Very enlightening. I quit drinking 33 years ago. I started drinking in high school and abused for 15 years. I knew most of those 15 years that eventually I would have to quit. What worked for me? Well first I decided to do a month long inpatient treatment program. One day at a staff meeting (I was 5 years into my teaching career) I got up and told my colleagues that I had a drinking problem and I was going to be gone for a month. So I put myself out there. So it was the risks I took and a healthy amount of fear that have kept me sober. The fear is that I am afraid of what will happen if I ever try drinking again.
I will say that I do use cannabis. Not ashamed of that I like catching a buzz. I don’t abuse it though. Just a little bit to get the eyes smiling.
Though I am not a doubting Thomas my success in quitting drinking is my tangible evidence that God is very real. Without His help I would have drunk myself to death.
Do you really put such little stock in free will?? I believe that if there is a god he merely pulls on threads in the universe around us and shows us that there is a better path within reach..
Don't misunderstand me; If belief in a higher power helps a person (addict or otherwise) to want to live a better life then it is a good thing and
i will be supportive.. The mistake in the 12 steppers rhetoric is to tell people that god is fully in control and we must merely submit and believe to succeed..
I just feel that you saying that you could never have quit drinking without gods help represents one of the many religious concepts that enable strong people to lean on religion like a crutch and become weaker for it.. I dislike the way that organized Christianity and major religion as a whole preach exclusion.. Every religion would have you believe happiness in this world and the next is wholly dependent on total loyalty to any one of innumerable organized faiths, the doctrine of which have all been written by mortal men..
If there is a real god he would be disgusted by much of what passes as normal in organized religion..
I know that if you quit drinking it was with gods help but you as an individual made the decision to stick with it regardless of what miracles or divine intervention that may have touched your life..
It's amazing this guy is even still alive with the life he's lived. I hope he stays clean, always found him to be a very funny comedian. Best wishes Tater!
Im struggling with a drinking problem at the moment and I feel like this vid was exactly what I needed.
Steve you got this
Go get that shit Steve. Don’t sleep on addiction, shit just gets worse.
Consider ibogaine.
He says it beautifully in the clip, at first it's awkward and uncomfortable, but once you start to see the benefits of NOT drinking, it feels like a no-brainer.
It's still wild to me waking up every day feeling energized and comfortable instead of sick and anxious.
Good luck man, you got this!
Reddit is cancer except for r/stopdrinking. I’m 7+ years sober and that subreddit became my go to sub for the first two years of my sobriety. I lurked the sub for a loooong time (years) before I finally pulled the trigger. It never gets easier but it does get less hard. I laughed with my son last week because I had a hard day of work and I thought “I’m buying a beer on the way home” and I haven’t had a drink in 7 years! You can do this. Life is so much better on this side of sobriety. One thing that I always remember from r/stopdrinking that someone said is that the problems that make you want to drink will still be there once you sober up.
@@thep0pe666, after almost 30 years of drinking and drugs to now being over 2 years sober- at times Im ashamed and almost regret all the years I lost in my life to drinking and doing drugs
Ron looks like he is leading the ceremonies now lol
I would attend!!
😂😂
He has risen 🙌🏼
He’s transcended from Gandolf the grey to the white wizard.
Lmao
Ron may have stopped drinking, but his rowdy spirit is still what makes us laugh. Well done Ron, stay with it.
Very happy to see this. I love this man's work, and I'm glad he's putting himself over his craft. He will still be one of the best!!!!
I've been sober since 2006, and it's one of THE BEST decisions I have ever made in my life!
That's so great!

Is awesome cause a new chapter of Ron, hes still witty and quick to the punch
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did
The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results.
My first shrooms trip was really awesome, it felt like i was deep into the sea
I had 3.5grams dried lemon tek most beautiful experience ever!
Mushrooms completely turned my life around my anxiety and panic attack disappeared and my personality changed into a much more generous and loving person

I love Ron he's so amazing. You can watch his skits over and over laughing so hard that your stomach hurts and you're crying. Looks like he is very happy where he's at right now. What a guy!
As a drinker myself that’s cutting back, this was something I needed to hear. Thanks for the video
Working on cutting down. Drinking doesn't ruin my life. I'm pretty good at it. Lol.
But health wise, I should wind this down
I am so happy right now. I really thought his drinking would eventually kill him. Ron looks amazing and sounds much more grounded. Prayers up for his continued journey and for everyone on the journey to sobriety.
Well it still might, that damage doesn't go away lol
@@MeatCatCheesyBlaster I mean you heal to an extent. The damage certainly eases, even if it doesn't go away completely you're talking possible years and years added to your life

Congrats Ron! So Proud of you!! I just celebrated 13 years sobriety this past October.
I'm really happy to see this. Thanks for bringing this conversation to light. Keep doing what you're doing.
I’m so impressed with Ron. He has been a legend. Glad to see him looking healthy. No more red bloated face.
Looking healthy.??? He looks half past dead ☠️
@@gobigorange
How do you figure he looks half dead??? He isn’t drinking anymore and not red and bloated and he’s actually doing things to improve his health. Try being happy he is just trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I guess you consider GoBig to be a man drinking himself to death.
I did shrooms in 1979 in college. One of the best things I've ever done in life. And before any comments from the peanut gallery, I started out in debt, married 30 yrs, 3 kids all musicians w/college degrees, retired from a corporate career at 52 to legally grow weed, and am financially independent living in a condo on the beach in SoCal learning guitar. Hail, hail, rock 'n roll.
Sounds like an amazing success!
Wow! Maybe I do need to jump on the psychedelics train! I'd finally be able to play guitar...
There’s been more studies more recently showing that micro dosing shrooms can actually help with mental health struggles
I want to work for you haha
Psychodelics don't determine your success. Everything in life is determined by the way you conduct yourself in society and time and place. You can get to the top and have some turd blindside and pull you to the bottom.
Funny to the soul...funny drunk, funny sober. Love seeing him looking so healthy!!
SO glad to see Ron sober and much healthier.
Ron White looks like he’s gonna play God in a movie
God would be so lucky
Yeah he’s really stepping into and owning his name
This needs to happen
I'd watch that.
You’re right he looks exactly like Morgan Freeman
Ron is one of the greatest living comedians. This man is an absolute joy to listen to. Love his energy. He and Tom could talk for hours and I would never get bored.
Him and Chappelle would be an absolute classic combo
So the drunken asshole schtick is your thing?
Thank God that annoying Bert guy wasn't in this clip. Geeze what a phony tool.
@@truescotsman4103 Yeah, it's fucking hilarious. It worked for Dave Attell, Bill Hicks, Sam Morrill, Mark Normand, George Carlin, ah you get the idea. Although Ron has been off alcohol for a considerable amount of time. And he's actually funnier and sharper than ever. Great stuff!
That shit helped a lot of people I know with depression and anxiety, even addiction. I used it and it made a world of difference.Glad to see they are starting to actually use it in medicine now. Ron White is awesome, it's good to see him doing so well
So happy to hear this and learn Ron is sober. I've been sober a bit over 4 years ago and I sure can relate to his stories.

Ron White is one of my favorite people in comedy. I'm so glad he faced this problem. We love you and pray you continue to put your health first. We need you here above ground.
I'm a 70 something very experienced substance abuser... I am ,by the Grace of God, still alive....
I have tried to get satisfaction by switching to different drugs to get relief from being me.....
I found out that doesn't work.... What is the answer? Faith... Believing God can do what I cannot...Thank God ✝️....
So unbelievably inspiring. I can relate as one of those people who if they take one sip….it opens the floodgates!! 🌊 Extremely happy for Ron.
I love the way he explains his outlook on drinking. I was a toxic drunk for close to 20 years and it wasn't till I was administered in ICU for a week that it forced me to stop. Sobriety was extremely difficult until I witnessed firsthand other sloppy drunks, and realized how moronic I must've looked. Extremely proud he's trying to stay clean and I've been sober for 5 years now. I'm 38, and the concern on how painful my life will be if I continue, has helped me stay sober. 🙏
Congratulations & mad props! I'm extremely proud for you too! Keep up the good work 🖖🏼
@@frankaven7930 Thank you so much. 🙏
Same , except I just got out the hospital for 2 months I had endocarditis and died a few times
🌈🌻
I almost died from covid which I thought was a hangover, that dumb thought kept me from going to the er for three days and made me sicker than ever. So I wasn't even drinking enough to die but I was drinking enough to kill myself stupidly. And I haven't drank since then, glad to be rid of what was an occasional but still not very rewarding thing.
Heineken zero tastes great by the way
Ayahuasca thankfully showed me love for first time in my life at 38 yrs old. Also understood the planet is a living structure & that we’re connected with it & to one another… life doesn’t happen to us, but flows through us & to experience non-separation is something that humanity needs on a collective level of healing. Another funny-weird thing… I was working as a doorman/security in Chicago bar industry at the time. When I came back from Peru it was a sensory overload!!! I would hear conversations, but was also picking up the body language movements & tone pitch variations in dialogue… I was witnessing so much more communication within social interactions going on all around me, multiple ways we communicate to one another nonstop. It’s odd that we’ve forgotten what it is & means to be a mammal within a ever changing social system & we get so caught up in the theatre drama of what we think it is & means to be human. That first experience brought me back to Peru the following year to do more work with Ayahuasca-San Pedro-Yopo… I’ve become somewhat the black-sheep with my family/friends, lol & after a lot of reflection & integration I look at myself & the world very different than most these days. It also helped me with just understanding you don’t save the world, or other people, you just work on yourself & by doing so, that’s how the world really changes by one candle🕯lighting itself so other candles can remember that they are their own candle. Stepping into your own light takes courage-humility-humbleness, good luck to any who are on this path, or at some later point in time find their way on it.🙏
Hey from Chicago! Love to your journey ❤️
I'm with you. These are powerful medicines. When you're ready, I'd recommend a deep mushroom trip too. Fortunately, my family is very understanding.
@@GetOutsideYourself Put a few 5meo experiences in there as well for deeper understanding of nonseparation within our perceived reality. & doing multiple heroic doses of psilocybin was a game changer for me personally on so many levels. I believe it made me more open to my Ayahuasca ceremonies as I was able to just let go & flow with the altered state, most people in both of my separate retreat experiences in Peru had major blockages in their ceremonies of holding on to the egoic mindset, while the key is in letting go. Happy to hear your family supports-understands the personal growth of going inwards, best wishes on your journey of self realization. ;)

I remember being 32 and going to a country bar down the road from my house early in the morning, 9 am or so....... I saw about 6 old guys and 4were drinking coffee and 2 were nursing a beer for 30 minutes and were not half done. I saw my future at it's best, at it's worst was me in a wheelchair from the motorcycle or the grave from a car wreck and I started praying to God to help me stop drugs and alcohol. I took 2 weeks off work and got clean for the first time since I was 10 years old. Thank you God. I am 73 now.
I too became a heavy drinker during the pandemic. I was spending all my money on bottles that id kill in basically a night, turn around and do it again the next day for like a week. At most id take 2 days off before binging again. This lasted for like 8 months. I ended up waking up one morning with internal tremors, seeing spots, and immediately got slammed with a panic attack. Had no clue what was happening to me until I did some research. I quit cold turkey, at home about 3 or 4 days later and thank god I did. Its been close to 2 years now since that last drink. The tremors and panic attacks persisted in strange intervals for about a year afterwards but I can say I've made what feels like a 95% recovery. Happy to be alive and feeling normal again! Love you Ron and you too tom!
Glad to hear, buddy.
Happy for you!
The restrictions, made by the government, drove _a lot_ of us to dive into the bottle…
I live in Hawaii (Oahu), and I’ll never forgive/forget~> the time we all were prohibited from hiking, camping, going to the park, & ETC of other outdoor activities.
Neighbor, friend of mine, was fined $2000 for hiking a State trail one day (thankfully got thrown out of court).
Evil shit.
That’s the scary thing about alcohol. If you drink that much on a regular basis, it is safer too wean yourself off, but either way, I am happy you made it through! I know a little about how ya feel, when I was drinking regularly, if I didn’t drink for a day or two, I would wake up several times with crazy cold sweats.
high bottom drunks are the luckiest folks on Earth.
~Congrats to you!!!~Fortunately, i got a DUI & quit just before covid hit, or id have likely gotten even deeper into booze~
The mental health issues that were propagated by unnecessary lock downs during the pandemic are barely even mentioned by the media or acknowledged by those that imposed the lock downs. Criminal. Best of luck.
Hadn’t heard anything from Ron in a while. Seems like he’s doing good. That’s great.
Good for him! I always loved his stand up
“I forgave everybody except that divorce lawyer” 😂 That’s a good one.

I wonder if he was drinking?

@@talentedpigeon3296 There are also some signs Steve-O isn't sober anymore. Just not doing the cheap street shit. Dude is an asshole in person. I have met Steve-O all sorts of ways...the worst was when he was drunk and how he is now. An entitled prick who seems pilled out on something. See him in person and you'll know what I mean. Something is off about that guy now that wasn't there even 5 or 6 years ago. It isn't just sober Steve-o being a prick.
Glad to hear your doing well take care of yourself your worth it prayers for you to keep up the good work !
I like what he said about forgiveness, because I struggle with that, you have to let the guilt go, it's very hard, it hurts to know that you've missed opportunities, and let others down, those are the things that keep you in a holding pattern, it's like he said guilt is a waste of time, he's right I think I can forgive myself, that really resonated with me, thanks Ron!
They call him "Mushroom Salad"
Hang tough, Ron. Just celebrated my 39th year of sobriety May 2nd. 'Shrooms are a gift from God and I will die with a joint between my lips. I'll be 70 y/o in January and I've even let my snow white hair grow to a length I wished for when I was 17 ( it's really a pain in the ass though but a cutting ain't anywhere in the cards. Peace and love, Bro.
Same here, my hair is down to my azz and it’s good I’m retired since it has become a career. Never been a drinker, but I’ve smoked weed for over 50 years and live in a weed friendly state. Shrooms are fantastic and I’d like to try ayahuasca before I leave this planet.
Happy you have so many years in!!!
But don't make the mistake of trading noose for a god or religion. That is just as destructive to believe that fairy tale.
If you’re on “shrooms”, you’re not sober.
@@RealWallyGator some people take it to replace anti depressant pills but then again the hole concept of sobriety can be a debate Bill W the founder of AA continued to use LSD for his depression which is controversial in a way but he said it helped him
@@knolose1 It’s all very subjective and up to your interpretation as to who has a “problem”. Some people use alcohol moderately for anxiety. But, in my opinion, one is not “sober” if he is still using any mood altering substance.
For the chronic alcoholic, our choices are few. Recovery, insanity, or death. One day in 1994, all of the negative consequences, combined with the end of my physical, mental, and emotional endurance, was the catalyst for my complete surrender. I ceased fighting everything and everybody, and became willing to live differently. The solution for me was, and still is, "Go to meetings, clean house, and help others"! Sobriety has been the greatest adventure of my life! ✌️❤️ Mark 5/8/1994
Awww, Ron, couldn't be happier for you. Congratulations!
Ron you've never been famous for drinking to me. Your voice and realistic comedy are what have attracted me to your films and books for years. Glad you're doing better and you're looking great. Keep on keeping on man
The key? He learned not to just forgive others, but himself. Today, I was about to relapse with an intensity like no other. Swan Song like. Although Iam fortunate to contain sobreity thru the Sunlight of the Spirit, Mr. Whites'' experience rejuvenated me from a darkness like no other.
I'm so happy you made it through today. I am in recovery. Very early. I fully understand how incredibly hard it is.
@@robyn220 your reply is so thoughtful and speaks to your empathetic character. I know I am supposed to be free of self-pity & self seeking, but there are simply those moments, with a virtual arrival from the ether, where I want to transport myself to a country called the Land of Vanish. Regardless, if you are striving to stay sober, or just living life, will pray for you. Thank you again.
@@themischiefjournal thank you so much. I got officially sober from everything 7 and half months ago. I tried countless times unsuccessfully on my own b4 I finally swallowed my ego and stopped caring what people would think of me and just actively sought out the treatment I felt would work best for me. By far the best decision I've ever made. I was a very high functioning addict from the outside prospective I always worked multiple jobs. Never been fired or arrested or not taken good care of my kids but I knew I was dying inside and fighting a demond within me. My depression was out of control. I did nothing for myself or to take care of myself or love myself. I hated that I had to wear a mask to everyone around me. And I had to constantly fight and spend all my free time seeking to make sure I never ran out of what I needed to even fuction. I was constantly in survival mode. And no1 around me knew. No1. I was an addict for 23 years. And no1 knew in my life. Bet anyway my point being is I'm so much better now. Hang in there. You are worth fighting for and your life and your happiness matters. I still struggle daily but I never want to feel as low as I did just last year. So I continue the sober fight. Life is really hard a lot of the time but the good moments make it all worth it.
Such a great way to get enlighten. What a wonderful way. Take care Ron, I'm digging my sobriety also.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

@@sarahh321 Where to search?? Is it IG?
Last year, I took shrooms at Las Vegas thinking it was going to hit like an edible or something. Shit was scary at first but amazing once you start getting deeper into your thoughts
Tom looking for any sign that there’s still hope for Bert
The difference is that Ron slowly drinks throughout the day whereas Bert just funnels his s*** in all day and night. Also, you can tell just because of Bert's belly and his swollen face that he eats pure garbage
Looks like train wreck about to happen. Burt is funny as fuck but some of the drunk shit is just stupid but other real funny shit .
Very Different Beasts.
It's not looking good for bert
@@gibememoni Suprised he's made it this far
My kids just buried their dad at 61 from alcohol. So proud of you that you quit. No amount of begging could change him.
So sorry for your family's loss.
I hope for peace and healing for everyone effected. 🤍
This comment hit hard for me, on the 28th of this month it will be three years since my dad died of liver failure. He was 63
God Bless Ron White!!!! So so proud of you.
i had my first experience with a ayahuasca here in Brazil last week with a local religious group that produce the juice themselves.
It was, like Ron´s, full of darkness, monsters, bizarre and hellish things but also, moments of insights and specially, like he mentioned, the need of forgiveness, parents, family, friends. Also lots of visions of the universe.
Can this cure mental illnesses? Please answer
@Ffs200s No, it´s not recommended to people with mental disorders.
I've been alcohol free for over three years. I've had a very similar experience as Ron, at first it was socially awkward to hang out. Eventually I felt so good and there was so much improvement in my life that it isn't awkward anymore. I have a coffee, water or a soda and hang out all night if the vibe is right.
Good on you man. It’s been three years for me since the last drink.
Ron's battle is to be praised. What an outcome!
No fucking joke. Amazing.
Battle with what ? Being a drunk and druggie ? That's not a battle, it's a choice. A losers choice.
Recovery. Language of the heart. Get there anyway you can. Good Work Sir.
Thank you, Ron for your many gifts.
I can relate so much to his "getting sober" story. It is socialy awkward to be the sober one when you are normally the one drinking the most. Good on you Ron, keep it up!
When I quit two years ago, I felt socially awkward going out sober for the longest time.
But I got drunk and went out this weekend and these young kids don't even drink, so I felt socially awkward being the only one drunk at the venue!
I'm glad Ron is discussing it with an heir of respect for the medicine and the ceremonies. Having the experience with assistance from a shaman/a group that knows what they're doing is crucial.
Lol, you religious cultists are so deluded
Shaman's are false gods.
Great episode. I love Ron White. I like the way he talks, I like how he thinks, and I like the words he chooses to use.
I love how you can literally see in his eyes the admiration Tom has for Ron basically the entire time.
16 months...same here. The upside of not drinking is a wonderful experience, everyday! Good for you Ron!
ive had the same experience with DMT. i was a functioning alcoholic, I would drink hard liquor on the weekends and get absolutely hammered and then throughout the week I would stop on my way home from work and by 1 or 2 cans of 4 loko or whatever cheap malt liquor the store had. smoking DMT has completely killed the urge for me to even want to drink. Havent been drunk since, and the only time i do drink is 1 or 2 beers that i might get offered at a buddies house, I couldnt tell you the last time i actually bought alcohol.
Sounds like DMT just taught you how to mooch free beer off your buddies without ever offering them one at your place lol
@@CH-qy5sn Being offered a couple brews at a buddies house is mooching? Tough circle you grew up in.
@@rawbmar1166 He's probably there 5 times a day
@@rawbmar1166 oh cmon man, it was just a joke.
@@Bubbles99718 Man, y'all really can't give anybody props for turning their lives around. How sad is your life that you have to bring others down to your level?
*Insert predictable "My life is great, you don't even know me." response here*
This is amazing 👏 Thanks for sharing Ron.
Saw Ron in Harrah's Cherokee NC in the beginning of August 2022, Awesome show as always!! Glad you are taking care of yourself Ron!!
I have loved Ron white for years, he has made me just crack up, stomach hurting laughs. So cool to have seen this and catch up to what's happening with him. Happy to hear he has a healthier life style, weed instead of drinking , wish he and girlfriend would buy my house next door to us, , he is like regular people that is a down to earth guy we normally don't see on stage.
That's what kinda inspired me to stop drinking, when I met my future wife and every now and then I'd take her around my drinking buddies and I had already lost some interest in drinking but being sober and seeing how my older friends were acting sold it for me , I thought I hope I don't act that stupid and I probably did but I'd take my wife and son over drinking any day of the week and twice on Sunday, it's very rewarding having a family and a son that looks to you for answers , thank you Jesus.
And it's not ayahuasca or mushrooms or pot that got you to that point... it was the love of your wife and the love of your savior
@@countryclubbin1016 Amen to that but I did do my share of drinking though, it just wasn't fun anymore and every now and then a old buddy will stop by and sometimes talk about the drinking days and I don't much like it because I don't want to glorify it, I had some fun but I know it wasn't the right kind of fun and God has kept me and my friends from not getting to badly hurt from some major multiple rolls and crashes , God is Awesome.
@@countryclubbin1016 whatever it takes, it's worth it.
🤗🤗
@@democrat7441 and one who sees it as foreign always puts in their skepticism,..
never get enough of these stories
Ron White is truly one of my favorite comedians, people lump him in with the vanilla crew he used to ride with, but he’s as rock and roll as they come
For chronic alcoholics, long-term sobriety is very difficult to achieve without dealing with the wreckage of one’s past. I wish him well.
😉👍
Trust God, Clean House, Help Others. Works if you work it. Congrats Ron
Just remember, ANY source of treatment can be beneficial regardless of the cost, the most important thing is never give up on yourself.
I love that you’re getting a grip on your future while expanding healthily. Looking for truth with psychedelics has treated me much better than hiding from the truth in a bottle.
He looks amazing, happy and glowing, these natural medicines are here for a reason
