Man, i’m going through insane witdrawl right now, and I’m fighting so hard not to relapse. 8 months sober but still getting cravings. it hurts so bad fr.
I fell after 121 days due to masturbation, just a 2 weeks before a relapse I started to feel withdrawal symptoms and I wanted to escape these hard feelings. God help us all with this battles.
@@PhillDrakeEntertainmentjust curious , I thought withdrawal was only in the beginning but clearly it can happen anytime after your sobriety??? What triggers yours?
Same here I haven’t had my lean or Xanax in about same time as u almost a year but it’s like idk 🤷🏽♂️ I like being high in a Functioning addict and sobriety is just Fucn boring so far but good job u can do this it’s all our choice end of the day
Sometimes the activating event is purely internal, just stress or doubts about life in general, or just a build up of pressure as your subconscious (your lizard brain) rebels against going the rest of your life without the drug that has been such a "relief" for so long. That kind of internal pressure comes in waves. The stubbed toe or parking ticket may really just a trigger to release a subconscious pressure wave that would have crested soon anyway.
For me the activating event can just be a thought about going to the bar or getting drugs. It doesn't take much but once that cycle gets triggered, a different part of your brain kicks in, you start wanting whatever you want more and more. The thought of not doing it becomes harder and harder to fathom and this is when you become very helpless and rarely ever don't drink or do drugs once it gets to this point. You can feel it throughout your whole body. The drive and pull to go get your fix. It's so powerful because your brain has become wired to act out the addiction once you're in that state of mind. Its maddening! Ugh.
it comes in waves because these are your waves of resisting staying vigilant. When you think you won is moment when it attacks. Also our free will is a limited resource we spend daily and our life also moves in waves when on average every 3 months we go through major crisis.
It's all internal! it's not necessarily about what's happened to you, it's more about how you process things and how you talk to yourself when you have a slip or are going through difficult times. If you're beating yourself up over a mistake you've made it will only create more shame and more need to escape from reality through addictive patterns. Basically how you view yourself will eventually manifest into who you actually are. I find that practicing positive self talk, and meditation are essential if you're an addict.
Hey it’s fine, but now it’s time to take control back. Search up Dr Joe Dispenza he explains why you are the way you are in such a technical way. He even gives you logical answers to create a new you with new experiences.
Here I thought drinking at 14 was young. I'm not trying to sound judgmental or anything we all became an addict at some point but you must have had some pretty horrible people around you.
@@dreytonstrickland6302oh no my drinking/smoking & others didn’t start till 13. What I meant was prior to that I was a heavy gamer/muncher. I noticed he mentioned it starts as a less destructive habit & it evolves. That’s kind of what happened with me. P.s I’m doing good, my life has been on easy mode compared to others, I know kids who did start hard substance abuse while still a child. That’s pretty sad, it’s usually a lack of attention from one or both parents imo
It's not addiction it's just a form of comfort. Once we get out our comfort zone. We don't know how or what we want, that's why we revert to our comforts.
Glad to hear this information is helping you. This is just a glimpse into the level of education tree house recovery provides clients. Give us a call if you need any help.
Thank you so much for your sharing. The video is very insightful and informative. I firmly agree that a self - perpetuating cycle of addiction to any kinds of drugs can devastate people's lives. These days, people who experienced drugs are prone to a lot of negative consequences from the society and even their own families. They isolate themselves because of the shame and guilt of using drugs. Some lucky people getting out of the jail have faced the attitude and hatred from society because the existence of the social stigma leads people to being rude and unfriendly to ex - addicts. The relapse is inevitable and exacerbate their lives again. hopefully, people open their arms to welcome them.
My next step from this video: Write down my activating events that i can remember or would happen Learn healthy coping mechanism that suited for me I will try my best and be patience, light up the hope within you guys!
What do you do when you fully understand the cycle and yet consciously choose it on the hard days? What do you do when you're addicted to chaos and oblivion itself? Most days I'm rational enough to understand why I shouldn't plunge into this cycle, but I have days where I legitimately am so low that I consciously dive into it in a self destructive chaotic way.
That's a really deep question. Without knowing more about your situation, my honest answer would be to try and understand why part of you loves chaos and oblivion, or why part of you thinks you deserve it. It seems like it could be a coping mechanism and/or an escape for you. If that's true then the question becomes the same question at the heart of any addiction. What is it about those feelings that you find appealing, and why? And what else could you do to either remove your need for those feelings, make you believe you deserve better, or possibly even get those feelings from something other than substances? If you want some guidance let us know my friend. You're not alone. (855) 274-1040
Being chaotic also allows you to "feel" something strongly. Sobriety runs the risk of feeling nothing anymore... Being numb. Turning fully to God worked for me. I found it impossible to do alone
@dcg31free dude you nailed it. Being self destructive makes you feel alive. I've spent a lot of time pondering this, and I think I have a decent working theory. It seems like on a spiritual level, we crave adventure. We crave the unknown. Maybe that's even what human life is about, and why so many bad things happen despite the all encompassing loving energy of God. It's like we WANT a surprise. We want the possibility of trauma and destruction. When was the last time you watched a movie where everything was fine, and there were no problems? Those movies don't even get made. That is a hint about what we crave as humans and for our own lives... we like drama. We like a problem to solve. I believe the addictive cycle dopaminergically hijacks this natural inclination. Substance abuse is subtly, subconsciously even (in some cases) woven into this process. Then, it all gets reinforced as one amalgamated dopamergic impulse cycle
I was in treatment and relapsed then went to AA and relapsed again glad to find this channel for I can get a better understanding of this illness while going back to AA thanks
Thanks so much for the video, very informative! Just take out the drug part, my addiction is a food and sugar addiction, I relapsed last night, ate a lot of junk food after being healthy for a good while! Time to get back on track, that part about shame and guilt being a trigger event really struck home!
I understand. Food is always in front of you. It’s also a necessity to sustain life. My friend goes to Overeaters Anonymous. She likes the group. I don’t like the word “anonymous” because it says you should feel shame. There is only shame when you don’t care and refuse to be proactive. I wonder if working with hypnosis and a nutritionist would help. I’ll be praying for you.
My activating events are always positive. Had a good day at work? Gotta celebrate with a beer. Had a good week? Time to hit the bar with the boys. Enjoying a beautiful summer day? A buzz would make it even better. But then I always find myself days later coming down off coke or meth wondering why I keep doing this to myself.
Most people think that relapses are caused by stress, but moments of celebration can also be significant triggers, especially with alcohol. Once someone takes that drink, it can lead to further substance use. If you need help, we are here. Call anytime.
Relapsed today on a 24 day streak, I'm feeling so bad, I can't fucking overcome this addiction, doin this since I was 14 I'm 16 now, and never reach more then 60 day streak, I'm so fucking sad
Stay strong man. I was clean for almost 6 months and relapsed hard this week. I’m not going to let it drag me back to where I started at day 1 of sobriety. You’re stronger than you know
I'm so sorry... That feeling is the worst. I hope you're doing better. I relapsed two nights ago after staying clean for 6 years. Yesterday was the worst. I was overwhelmed with massive guilt, shame and self-hate. The worst feeling though, and it's the one feeling only addicts know, is the feeling of being scared of yourself. I was and am still scared that I cannot trust myself to take care of myself even after years of staying clean. It's the worst thing to be sick with a disease that really has no cure and really no ending. So now I'm starting all over again. And we all can. Try to learn to be kind to yourself, you're not a shit person. You are sick... But you will overcome. Sending you light. I hope you're feeling better.
Whoever thumbed this up TY I didn't see these replies, let's me know I'm not alone, since my comment I'm on 27, but I really got a bad neck injury, this sucks as I can barely move my head trying to detox
It lack something. There is a period when you remember bad outcome and stay away from it when you didn't relapse yet and you actually resisted for this period before the next trigger at your weakest. Bad outcome actually sobers you up and put on vigilance mode. Maybe its because you can switch copes between bad and good ones. Like isolating and regenerating in peace, vigilance and scheduling drug, or staying away from copes not being able to fall into these. And its the moment when you think you are winning is one when you loose vigilance and trigger get powerful. Our mind/subcoscious want to avoid pain of struggling pushing us directly into addiction and cope - and it knows us well, all ways to effectively play us.
bro this explains everything. its like i use, than get upset about it, throw it away. than feel like shit about it and swear it off, than the weekend comes and its all over again. sometimes my mind can say no, sometimes it cant. i wish it never started, i wish i could've let it go the year i did, wish my head was stronger, wish i could just say no more, why cant my head just let it go? what is wrong with me?
Substances alter the chemical processes in the brain, making it extremely difficult to get out of this cycle with your own thinking or will. Give us a call, we can help 855-202-2138.
Hey Aman, that doesn't mean you have to give up. You reached out, that is huge, and a clear sign you have it in you to pick back up your recovery. You can not let this relapse take you down into negative thinking, but nows the time to get back on the forward momentum. Try to stay focused on doing some acts of healthy living today, and make sure you call and talk to someone that will support you. And if you need to talk to us, we are in recovery and have been through it all, call our admissions line anytime at 855 274 1040. Let us know how you do today Aman.
This video stopped me from relapsing. I relapsed 2 other times. 1st was when I was followed around by security at Walmart. 2nd was when accused of trying to break in a car. I'm not a criminal and don't break the law. I need to improve my self appearance. Alot of people think all addicts steal. I was addicted and abused benedryl, not expensive. A bottle cost $4 land lasts me for a week.
He covered some important things, but relapse can be much more complicated than that and it is multi-faceted. Even recovery supportive environments, such as rehab, AA, and NA can be negative and activate a relapse. Sometimes people relapse, probably more so these days, because they can't deal with the withdrawal symptoms and aren't getting the right medical and social support. The video is only about 3 minutes long, so he could only give an overview.
Thanks mate for this, I appreciate you sending these out for people who need it, including myself Do you take questions from the comments ? There’s one or two things I’d want your perspective of
don't think about drugs. always keep busy, run 3.2 km once a week and do push ups and do silly things like painting, reading, gardening and raising animals. also avoid masturbating. and pray every day, eat healthy food and make time to go to church and always remember that I am here as one of those who love you.
Please nobody take this comment offensively. But what is the disease of addiction? Not gonna add anything to that just curious of what y’all have to say
Well I never really liked calling it a disease and I've struggled with addictions my whole life. But the reason why it's called a disease is because it changes how you brain functions. Neuroscience has shown this to be absolutely factual. Brain scans can show how a brain functions differently for an addict or alcoholic than someone who's not. Parts of your brain that control reason and control get much dimmer and other parts of the brain that control impulses get much brighter and when that part of the brain takes over, it becomes very, very difficult for a person with an addiction to not indulge in their drink or drug of their choice. That's the most difficult part to try to explain to a non-addict that can't understand why you just don't stop. Your brain anatomically changes due to drug and alcohol use and and causes a disorder that has distinct symptoms which is the text book definition of a disease.
I thought that a person who has a substance problem when they have legal problems or any strong situation I thought they would feel happy and not even care about it and they were just brush it off because they were used substance forget about it and act like nothing happened ??? Or I thought they would just laugh it off and use their drugs
