9 months sober for 4th time. This time I actually am doing the steps. Got a sponsor and taking advice from the people I can tell have a solid sobriety. Changed my world once I fully committed. Made it to the 1 year on July 29th!
I had a few "stints" of sobriety before I'd fall back in(nothing close to 9 months, amazing job!), but just couldn't keep it going. Biggest help for me was telling myself "I don't have to be sober forever, just today." Strung a lot of those together for maximum effect lol.
Isn't it a blessing that these two men are alive, sharing their stories, making us laugh rather than one of them or both of them losing to their addiction, dying, making us cry? Anyone that has an addiction, think about that. Make those around you smile when they think about you. You can get help, you are all you need.
drinking got really bad over the pandemic cause i was so good at working drunk. sober 3 times now, new life partner & doing well. watching stuff like this helps a lot.
@@domleah1987 Dude, I feel you, it's not an easy thing to do. It took me seven years to really kick the habit. I've been clean since my last relapse from June - October of 2021.
Almost 2 years sober from alcohol…love hearing people be vulnerable, talking openly about their struggles, in the video and also in the comments. Proud of all of you 😌
Man, that whole dialogue at 5:14 just hit the last year of my life on the head. This is what I love about Theo, he's not afraid to wander off the trail and into the tall grasses just to see what's out there. Sometimes he comes back with something really profound. I got really self-destructive and fearful cuz after working way too hard for 4 years I finally got the solitude I had craved for so long and I just ended up flushing months of my life and money down the toilet, then cascading down this whirlpool of self-hatred. I don't know that "weak" is the word I'd use but it definitely makes you feel like you're irreparably broken when the conditions are perfect and you just can't engage at all. It's like waking up on a beautiful day and discovering you've gone blind.
For someone who takes pride in their independence, it takes strength to admit weakness or that you need help. That sort of counter intuitive but it’s true.
Three years sober this summer after a few missteps. The "weakness" Theo was referring to is vulnerability, which is a strength, not a weakness. It takes courage to trust and I have to remind myself of that all the time.
Congrats on a year! (albeit a month late as I just found this video) I appreciate you two talking so candidly. I know exactly of what you speak. Sober 11.5 years now myself. I still go to at least 3 meetings a week, have a sponsor, work the 12 steps and sponsor other men. It works for me, so much better than the life I had before. So so so much better.
Coming up on 4 years, 9/11/2019 is my sobriety date. Hasn’t been easy but it has been worth it. Congrats to anyone with a day, or a decade. Recovery is a gift
Congrats to everyone in the comments sharing their sobriety. Keep with it. In sure you're stories will inspire others in the comments to make changes for the better.
I'm so grateful I was sober 2 years before the pandemic hit. I would have been deep in the rabbit hole as well. Just celebrated 5 years clean. If your on the fence today about getting sober, there isn't a single thing I regret....besides doing the crazy shit I did drunk or high.
Never ever feel week for saying you need help. Especially as men we need to support each other. You aren't weak. It takes a massive amount of strength and maturity to admit you have a problem.
@@wesleysmith2700 no you’re right, but recovery isn’t nice; facing yourself in the mirror and saying I wasn’t okay is a big step of modesty that you don’t see in celebrities. That’s all I’m saying it’s a big compliment on his part that he already is coming out and advocating for recovery by telling his story.
@Matt M because that was an entire bit in his stand up routine from 9 years ago, I’ve been a fan the entire time. “Honestly when I’m walking down the street no one’s ever like “hey look at that man” I think they’re just like whoa! That tall child looks terrible! Get some rest tell child you can’t keep burning the candle at both ends.” I’m glad he finally got the rest and recovery he needed ruclips.net/video/3pfKuZUiBJo/видео.html
You would think it's the opposite - that drug users love talking about doing drugs, and that the prudeish or recovering people would keep quiet about it. No, it's important to talk about it. Those connections in our brain between drug addiction and recovery aren't formed out of nothing - most of the time, it takes socialized commitment to a cause to improve yourself, and to do that, it takes understanding how far you fell.
@@keenfrizzle exactly! I didn’t think my comment would strike up this much conversation but I’m all for it. The more we talk about it the less secrets and mess there is. We need to bring it all out in the open and get rid of the stigma around “help”. Thank you for explaining it better than I ever could! That was what was so striking to me, hearing him talk about it made me think deeper about my own views too.
14 years sober in September. It’s possible and it feels great. I took DMT just one time and it cured my addiction. 14 years of alcohol and substance abuse and a single 20 min DMT trip literally made me realise I was killing myself and I just never did anything from that moment. Amazing stuff highly recommend if you’re struggling
@@tcggggg I need to do DMT again regarding fast food. I know I have an issue but it’s far too easy and cheap. I know I’m damaging myself but haven’t found the motivation to stop. Congratulations however if that’s worked out well for you. I absolutely wish I could eat healthy at this moment
Lucky you. I've been wanting to do DMT for a while now because everyone I've known that did it has become a better person but I've got no connections and no friends, so I'm here sitting in my bathtub hating myself knowing mentally, this shit just won't get any better and I've got no way to feel better or enjoy myself. At least I'm sober(?)

I started drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
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.medshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.medshrooms. 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.
I love shrooms. Congrats on the 8 years, that's awesome! I'm clean 4 years now. Good luck.just micro dose and you won't trip. Same story just that mine is with fentanyl and anxiety. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without the help of psilocybin.
I relapsed from being clean 7 yrs during the pandemic and was also high the entire time.. I have 1 yr 4 months sober now, but yeah relate to experiencing the pandemic differently.
There is an uncounted toll from the pandemic. We count those who suffered/passed from the virus and those numbers are jarring. But then there are those who had to fight other diseases like addiction and couldn’t get the help they needed. I am so glad you are still here and hope you are doing well.
Two of my most favorite comics. And to hear them open up and the honesty about being sober. Makes me happy to hear I am on the good team with them. Thanks Gentlemen.😊
Theo talking about miserable nights trying to fall asleep is relatable af. Have 7 years clean now, but during my brief stint in FL (over a decade ago) I had constant access to blow, very inconsistent access to the Sackler family’s magnum opus (OC). Can’t tell you how many nights I legitimately contemplated jumping in front of an 18 wheeler. Unfortunately, I learned the wrong lesson from these experiences; I built my network up so I’d never have one and not the other, and always had an emergency bottle of Crystal Palace vodka in case I couldn’t get what I needed. Bad times.
watching this trying to convince myself to get sober. ive been really breaking down this past week, back to drinking over a handle a week after a brief improvement, and realising that this just isnt working and just how severe of a problem i have, but Im struggling to start and commit. i hope one day i can get sober
One day a time. The times you spend away from the substance can grant insight into what causes the addiction/compulsive behavior. After a while you'll know that it never improves anything. Please be aware that alcohol withdrawal can have serious health risks, so take it slow and focus on caring for yourself!
I couldn't imagine alcohol being my vice and trying to get clean. It'd be so hard considering every gas station snd and grocery store has it. I wouldn't be able to stay clean if Wal-Mart sold Meth and herion I enjoy smoking shit off tin foil too much. Im in the best shape mentally since I started using at 17. I'm almost 30 now. I really hope you're able to at the very least control or slow down drinking.
Hang in there man. I read a very famous book that help me quit smoking. It’s called “The Easy way to Quit smoking” by Allen Carr. He has one for drinking too. “The easy way to quit drinking.” A lot of people became sober instantly after they read the book. Good luck, dig deep and get uncomfortable to get comfortable. There will be people rooting for you.
I got sober during the pandemic as well and I can relate 100% with John. I wasn’t affected like others were with COVID, it’s almost like it didn’t exist.
A week sober. Been here many times. But i know this will be the last. Its crazy how u hit rock bottom and are tited of being tired of the same old feeling of going nowhere. I already went through withdrawal i feel great now. Just sleeping and eating alot. A bit of anxiety but i can handle it. Listening to talks like this i believe helps many of us. Were not alone. ❤
@@mix-r9g Speed Balling (Mixing uppers and downers) Can cause Cardiac Arrest and among other things that could literally make you never wake up. I urge you too please watch some tv and sweat that shit out if you're too wired to sleep.
2 1/2 years sober from the exact shit John was doing. It was crazy when he listed everything he was doing. I was on pharmaceuticals speedballs everyday for a long time.
I started following Theo in the dark depths of heroin addiction, and have been truly "sober" since November. Hard to be happy about, because like the rest of you, one bad day ends the ride.
Dude, that’s fucking badass! Im so proud of you! Everyday is its own journey. My dad is a recovering addict as well, and he started when I was 12, im 27 now and he’s been clean since I was 13. Good job!!!
Mate that’s awesome to hear just day at a time and that’s all we can do ! Also was in the depths of heroin watching Theo , it’s been 19 months clean next week, some days harder than others but the feeling of being free from addiction is like No other
@JimmyJames 19 months is huge, congrats. I'm still not at the point where I'm feeling free, but maybe someday. I don't even keep track of my sober time like most seem to, because my strategy is "I don't have to be sober forever, just for today" and hopefully repeat tomorrow, etc.
Seeing these guys who have so many resources to deal with their addictions such as the financial ability to go to multiple rehabs, still struggle with sobriety makes me feel like normal people have absolutely no chance.
Yesterday I celebrated 10 years of Sobriety. Alcohol, cocaine, opioids. After abusing all the aforementioned for 35 years I am astonished that I made it here. I wouldn't be alive today if I didn't quit everything 10 years plus 1 day ago today. 🎉😊
I smoked meth for two years and burned my life down. Lost everyone. My job, my house. Been sober 2 years now & employed again for a year and a half. I don't miss it and the way it made me feel because it surrounded me with the most toxic people I've ever met and turned me into one. Nice to have my family back and friends around me again.
Totally understand what John is saying about being successful in spite of drugs. He brings up in Baby J that he has a new vibe now, which isn't as peppy and jumpy. You can tell he really lets a moment breathe, which he didn't used to do. Watching some of John's older work - especially Kid Gorgeous at Radio City, as an example - is borderline unwatchable by comparison.
Wow - John’s sentiment at the end, that I was doing well in life in spite of the drugs, not because of them…. Well that’s something I needed to hear. Thanks m8 and godspeed
Trying to be sober is really hard. I was sober for over a year and half but then just fell back into it. My sister said I thought you were sober all I could say is it’s harder to be sober for me cause I’ve never been sober
Major IV meth addiction that I quit cold turkey July 22nd 2021. Problem is I havent addressed any of the underlying issues that caused the addiction, so I'm definitely building a house of cards over here. Hanging on by the seat of my pants bros.
Damn. That's rough... I feel like content (learning in general) really helped me get to a point where I can understand what's happening, and take 2 steps back to slowly build a solid foundation. Must be real rough though. Hope things have improved in the 10 months.
If I make it through tonight, I’ll have 307 days abstained from alcohol. Just wanted to contribute to this beautiful collection of sobriety markers here. Stay strong everyone. The bad thoughts will come but they WILL pass💙
Last time i got high i regretted it horribly. So i think im actually done using. It helps i was able to go to a doctor and get prescribed medication for my ADHD and Im on methdone. So i guess you can say im just clean off of street drugs. Its been a while since ive used street drugs though.
"Good night, folks. Believe me, it's going to be the best night ever. You're going to sleep so well, you won't believe it. Tremendous dreams, really tremendous. Make sleep great again! Good night, everybody."
Everything John lists is something I got hooked on for a while. I haven't done these in over a decade, but I drink way too much. I replaced one thing with another. I hold down two jobs, I'm a model employee, but I've gotta figure out how to kick the booze. My wife has been very patient. And I'm not out at bars or parties, I'm just getting drunk and watching RUclips or writing. I drink when bored. I'm always bored lol.
Make a plan to get off it if you think it is. Dont go into it thinking your quitting and slowly drop the amount you smoke, however long it takes whatever works for you. As you start to build more motivation, take on the things your struggling with, youll think clearer. The final step is when you feel better again to take time to asess your relationship with weed. Determine whether it can actually benefit you in your life or give yourself limits so you dont end up in the sprial again.
2 months sober from alcohol for what must be the 6th time. This time felt different because of the support system I had when I made the decision to quit. After I stopped drinking it seems like the other substances followed suit minus some cannabis and the occasional mushroom experience.
Here's my issue... there are certain substances that I struggle with... but there are also substances that have lots of positive and/or medicinal effects. I want the support and accountability that comes with attending AA meetings or something like that but I also don't want to feel like a liar. I'm abstaining from the hard shit, that's true, but I still want to drink mushroom tea occasionally without any judgment... Or take painkillers (only as prescribed) if I have a particularly bad injury... Or be able to take my ADHD medication... Or take an ativan if I'm legitimately having a panic attack. It seems most people have a more rigid definition of sobriety/overcoming addictions than that though. So now I feel out of place in environments where substance use is encouraged as well as in environments where it isn't. What can ya do.
You can still go to meetings and do the steps and everything and just have a “sober off alcohol since.” Etc. If you feel as if it benefits you go. You don’t have to pick up chips or anything
Some people may hate, but if YOU know these are helpful things you have under control, f em! Coffee and cigarettes are addictions too. Good luck on your journey
Loving the vibes. 9 years for me. Jan 20th 2014. Sober from all mind altering and mood altering chemicals, this includes alcohol. Went from homeless, broken family, being an absentee father, lost, ex-con, etc. Can’t even begin to describe my life today. Still attend my home group, sponsor guys, work with my sponsor, and continue working a program. God has restored my life and family. Married, father again, homeowner, business owner, heart full of gratitude. But for the grace of god!❤
After seeing my ex suffer from simple alcohol addiction, I stopped enjoying the casual use of "advanced substances". Weed, all day every day... Alcohol, beer or two after work. Now I'm the old guy at parties making sure eveyone is being responsible and has a ride home...
It makes me so upset when doctors prescribe suboxone for addiction issues. It just substitutes one for the other. Hang in there and remember that you don’t need any foreign chemicals to make you happy. You got this!
I have been fortunate enough to be blessed with 3 daughters so far, their all that matters really , I'm 27, and feel like I'm born to lose, made to fail, but regardless I get up and go, I will only give up when my body fails me, I am too stubborn to let this be the end,
@@nobodyreally1361 that is the test. Did I get up and try after I failed. Never been much for religion but I do think we are sinful at birth and we juat have to try our best to be better examples for our kids. 34, 2 sons.
@@shanelamkie4755idk, I feel like it makes sense in some cases. I know someone who used to be seriously addicted to fentanyl and percocet, but once a doctor prescribed suboxone he hasn’t touched any of that stuff. Sure, he may be addicted to suboxone now, but harm reduction is important. He might have been dead by now otherwise.
The gov gave me so much money to stay home from work I did so so so much coke...I drank all the beer...I’ve been sober for three months now after the popo got me. I’m going to jail for 10 days here soon but I really don’t want to go back to the real jail that is my addiction problem. Its fucked
You know now that you mention it a good chunk of my stimulus checks went to my marijuana habit lol I hadn't really thought much about it but that's kinda funny lol Hope you get sober though and never have to go back to jail 👍🏻

Can’t tell you how many nights I legitimately contemplated jumping in front of an 18 wheeler. Unfortunately, I learned the wrong lesson from these experiences; I built my network up so I’d never have one and not the other, and always had an emergency bottle of Crystal Palace vodka in case I couldn’t get what I needed.
Bad times.
5 yrs continuous here and so support both of you. Would value knowing both of you.
Such a good clip. Thanks for being honest and open, gentlemen.
Struggling atm w my addiction. I'm proud of everyone here and in the video for giving it your best. God bless all of you
watching this trying to convince myself to get sober. ive been really breaking down this past week, back to drinking over a handle a week after a brief improvement, and realising that this just isnt working and just how severe of a problem i have, but Im struggling to start and commit. i hope one day i can get sober
One day a time. The times you spend away from the substance can grant insight into what causes the addiction/compulsive behavior. After a while you'll know that it never improves anything.
Please be aware that alcohol withdrawal can have serious health risks, so take it slow and focus on caring for yourself!
How old are you?
You matter, and you can do it!!! Almost 2 years here and it’s hard at first but so worth it!!!
I couldn't imagine alcohol being my vice and trying to get clean. It'd be so hard considering every gas station snd and grocery store has it. I wouldn't be able to stay clean if Wal-Mart sold Meth and herion I enjoy smoking shit off tin foil too much. Im in the best shape mentally since I started using at 17. I'm almost 30 now. I really hope you're able to at the very least control or slow down drinking.
I did a month and fell apart.
I am on my 1st week of starting again❤❤ Staying strong
You got this buddy! One day at a time
Wishing you the best! Keep going!
YOU GOT THIS!!!🎉
How’s it going?
You got it! You can do it
Hang in there man. I read a very famous book that help me quit smoking. It’s called “The Easy way to Quit smoking” by Allen Carr. He has one for drinking too. “The easy way to quit drinking.” A lot of people became sober instantly after they read the book. Good luck, dig deep and get uncomfortable to get comfortable. There will be people rooting for you.
I second the alcohol version. 6 months for me
On May 5, I hit 8 years clean. It's hard but it's the best thing I've ever done. I feel so much better about life. Congrats on your 1 year!!
Mad props to both these guys, and Steve-O and the jackass guys as well. Thank you for promoting sobriety
I got sober during the pandemic as well and I can relate 100% with John. I wasn’t affected like others were with COVID, it’s almost like it didn’t exist.
A week sober. Been here many times. But i know this will be the last. Its crazy how u hit rock bottom and are tited of being tired of the same old feeling of going nowhere. I already went through withdrawal i feel great now. Just sleeping and eating alot. A bit of anxiety but i can handle it. Listening to talks like this i believe helps many of us. Were not alone. ❤
John Mulaney is filled with all the words Theo is missing.
Theos got the right mind set, don’t do drugs but if you do not mix up’s with the downs
Why is that ? I thought it balances you out
@@mix-r9g Speed Balling (Mixing uppers and downers) Can cause Cardiac Arrest and among other things that could literally make you never wake up. I urge you too please watch some tv and sweat that shit out if you're too wired to sleep.
2 1/2 years sober from the exact shit John was doing. It was crazy when he listed everything he was doing. I was on pharmaceuticals speedballs everyday for a long time.
I started following Theo in the dark depths of heroin addiction, and have been truly "sober" since November. Hard to be happy about, because like the rest of you, one bad day ends the ride.
Theo does have a way of putting things that makes your shit seem a little less heavy somehow. Good job!!
Dude, that’s fucking badass! Im so proud of you! Everyday is its own journey. My dad is a recovering addict as well, and he started when I was 12, im 27 now and he’s been clean since I was 13. Good job!!!
Mate that’s awesome to hear just day at a time and that’s all we can do ! Also was in the depths of heroin watching Theo , it’s been 19 months clean next week, some days harder than others but the feeling of being free from addiction is like No other
@JimmyJames 19 months is huge, congrats. I'm still not at the point where I'm feeling free, but maybe someday. I don't even keep track of my sober time like most seem to, because my strategy is "I don't have to be sober forever, just for today" and hopefully repeat tomorrow, etc.
Keep following the steps and that one bad day won’t happen, 39 years next month.
It's not weak to recognize that you are doing poorly. You gotta have insight into yourself and what you're doing, in order to have a good life.
Fitting video, I’m 2 days away from 1 year sober, been a great year. Boring at times but so much better over all, slow and steady
Seeing these guys who have so many resources to deal with their addictions such as the financial ability to go to multiple rehabs, still struggle with sobriety makes me feel like normal people have absolutely no chance.
Sober from alcohol 11 years after pancreatitis nearly killed me
Sober from hard drugs 17 yrs
damn u quit drugs to drink hard for 6 more years 😂
No matter how long your sober, it can be gone in a flash. Remain vigilant!!
18 years, the best 1/3 of my life.
"A doctor at rehab said that it's scary how good you are at presenting like everything is okay".
Yeah. Feel that.
John is the LAST person I’d expect to freebase coke lmao. He looks so clean cut.
Yesterday I celebrated 10 years of Sobriety. Alcohol, cocaine, opioids. After abusing all the aforementioned for 35 years I am astonished that I made it here. I wouldn't be alive today if I didn't quit everything 10 years plus 1 day ago today. 🎉😊
Almost 4 months. 4th time quitting. Been sober a year and a half once, comes right back. Good luck everyone
22 years this last December. Do the next right thing, one day at a time.
I smoked meth for two years and burned my life down. Lost everyone. My job, my house. Been sober 2 years now & employed again for a year and a half. I don't miss it and the way it made me feel because it surrounded me with the most toxic people I've ever met and turned me into one. Nice to have my family back and friends around me again.
Totally understand what John is saying about being successful in spite of drugs. He brings up in Baby J that he has a new vibe now, which isn't as peppy and jumpy. You can tell he really lets a moment breathe, which he didn't used to do. Watching some of John's older work - especially Kid Gorgeous at Radio City, as an example - is borderline unwatchable by comparison.
What a great video to watch as I’ve relapsed and haven’t gone a day without weed 🥲
Wow - John’s sentiment at the end, that I was doing well in life in spite of the drugs, not because of them…. Well that’s something I needed to hear. Thanks m8 and godspeed
Trying to be sober is really hard. I was sober for over a year and half but then just fell back into it. My sister said I thought you were sober all I could say is it’s harder to be sober for me cause I’ve never been sober
To everyone who may relate, you're wonderful and cared for
Cali sober still got my weed drink in moderation!!!! Just try to keep it in moderation!!!! Graduated AA about to get off probation!!!
I love that Mulaney was fully-stocked when he walked into his intervention. Don't say God doesn't have a sense of humor!
10 years sober in April
Very happy for these guys. Keep going. Any thing is possible. Keep going.
10 years. Never thought it would happen
This is my 6th day quitting, i hate going to bed, the nightmares, the sweat, the anxiety , i rather been working
Major IV meth addiction that I quit cold turkey July 22nd 2021.
Problem is I havent addressed any of the underlying issues that caused the addiction, so I'm definitely building a house of cards over here. Hanging on by the seat of my pants bros.
Damn. That's rough... I feel like content (learning in general) really helped me get to a point where I can understand what's happening, and take 2 steps back to slowly build a solid foundation. Must be real rough though. Hope things have improved in the 10 months.
If I make it through tonight, I’ll have 307 days abstained from alcohol. Just wanted to contribute to this beautiful collection of sobriety markers here. Stay strong everyone. The bad thoughts will come but they WILL pass💙
Last time i got high i regretted it horribly. So i think im actually done using. It helps i was able to go to a doctor and get prescribed medication for my ADHD and Im on methdone. So i guess you can say im just clean off of street drugs. Its been a while since ive used street drugs though.
"Good night, folks. Believe me, it's going to be the best night ever. You're going to sleep so well, you won't believe it. Tremendous dreams, really tremendous. Make sleep great again! Good night, everybody."
Glad these men are clean. God bless!
Everything John lists is something I got hooked on for a while. I haven't done these in over a decade, but I drink way too much. I replaced one thing with another. I hold down two jobs, I'm a model employee, but I've gotta figure out how to kick the booze. My wife has been very patient. And I'm not out at bars or parties, I'm just getting drunk and watching RUclips or writing. I drink when bored. I'm always bored lol.
John is my favorite comedian now always was a, fan but his new, special and his honesty lately has mase hom more of a genius
Currently withdrawing from benzos. It's so hard.
❤
Damn dude that sucks, goodluck
I think weed is ruining my life.
Make a plan to get off it if you think it is. Dont go into it thinking your quitting and slowly drop the amount you smoke, however long it takes whatever works for you. As you start to build more motivation, take on the things your struggling with, youll think clearer. The final step is when you feel better again to take time to asess your relationship with weed. Determine whether it can actually benefit you in your life or give yourself limits so you dont end up in the sprial again.
How's the battle going bro? I've been dealing with it too. Start one hour at a time
Shit me too
Quit
Its not the weed, its you
It's good to hear this. Thanks for posting.
Just hit 3 months yesterday.
One day at a time!
Theo talking abiut how despite having the material success, he still couldnt cope and fhat coming across weak is very relatable
I thought theo was sober for over a decade? Not to discredit his sobriety! Any amount achieved is earned! ❤️
relapsed then got clean again
no wonder so many people love theo he is so relatable
2 months sober from alcohol for what must be the 6th time. This time felt different because of the support system I had when I made the decision to quit. After I stopped drinking it seems like the other substances followed suit minus some cannabis and the occasional mushroom experience.
so proud of you !!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
John over here advocating for speedballs… which has killed so many people. Glad my dude pulled through all that ish
Here's my issue... there are certain substances that I struggle with... but there are also substances that have lots of positive and/or medicinal effects. I want the support and accountability that comes with attending AA meetings or something like that but I also don't want to feel like a liar. I'm abstaining from the hard shit, that's true, but I still want to drink mushroom tea occasionally without any judgment... Or take painkillers (only as prescribed) if I have a particularly bad injury... Or be able to take my ADHD medication... Or take an ativan if I'm legitimately having a panic attack. It seems most people have a more rigid definition of sobriety/overcoming addictions than that though. So now I feel out of place in environments where substance use is encouraged as well as in environments where it isn't. What can ya do.
You can still go to meetings and do the steps and everything and just have a “sober off alcohol since.” Etc.
If you feel as if it benefits you go. You don’t have to pick up chips or anything
Feel you. I’m 5 and half years sober but don’t feel like i fit in because i use cannabis for my eating disorder
Some people may hate, but if YOU know these are helpful things you have under control, f em! Coffee and cigarettes are addictions too. Good luck on your journey
@@zacgallenlover911 Good for you man, I see you
It was my partner’s 1 year yesterday, and mine is on the 1st of August!!!! We do recover! ❤
Loving the vibes. 9 years for me. Jan 20th 2014. Sober from all mind altering and mood altering chemicals, this includes alcohol. Went from homeless, broken family, being an absentee father, lost, ex-con, etc.
Can’t even begin to describe my life today. Still attend my home group, sponsor guys, work with my sponsor, and continue working a program. God has restored my life and family. Married, father again, homeowner, business owner, heart full of gratitude.
But for the grace of god!❤
Congrats brother!
@@tylersmith9860 appreciate ya fam
God bless you sir.
Congrats❤
I have 10 months clean. NA has saved my life. I’m working steps and my Sponsor is awesome.
Theos drug addiction was like a high-school crush and John had a man's Addiction. Gotta get up to get down
Regardless of how different life circumstances are people, everyone can still learn something from fhis 7 minute video.
This is a great conversation.
august 26th this year i have 10 years clean. all drugs, but mainly opiates. if i can do it, YOU can do it.
What a balanced and sober conversation about cocaine abuse
This was very relatable, thank you.
After seeing my ex suffer from simple alcohol addiction, I stopped enjoying the casual use of "advanced substances". Weed, all day every day... Alcohol, beer or two after work. Now I'm the old guy at parties making sure eveyone is being responsible and has a ride home...
5 and half for me 🤙 nice to see you both speaking my language. We're all connected through this disease no matter the story. Congrats to both you 🎉
I'm still on a 6 -7 year battle with suboxone and gabapentin It's pretty much made me have seizures almost during sleep
Hang in there buddy! Dig deep you can do this! Be smart and be safe I know that's not easy.
It makes me so upset when doctors prescribe suboxone for addiction issues. It just substitutes one for the other. Hang in there and remember that you don’t need any foreign chemicals to make you happy. You got this!
I have been fortunate enough to be blessed with 3 daughters so far, their all that matters really , I'm 27, and feel like I'm born to lose, made to fail, but regardless I get up and go, I will only give up when my body fails me, I am too stubborn to let this be the end,
@@nobodyreally1361 that is the test. Did I get up and try after I failed. Never been much for religion but I do think we are sinful at birth and we juat have to try our best to be better examples for our kids. 34, 2 sons.
@@shanelamkie4755idk, I feel like it makes sense in some cases. I know someone who used to be seriously addicted to fentanyl and percocet, but once a doctor prescribed suboxone he hasn’t touched any of that stuff. Sure, he may be addicted to suboxone now, but harm reduction is important. He might have been dead by now otherwise.
The gov gave me so much money to stay home from work I did so so so much coke...I drank all the beer...I’ve been sober for three months now after the popo got me. I’m going to jail for 10 days here soon but I really don’t want to go back to the real jail that is my addiction problem. Its fucked
Lol i wonder how much of that stimulus went to dealers. Not judging, i plead the fifth haha.
Stay strong!
You know now that you mention it a good chunk of my stimulus checks went to my marijuana habit lol I hadn't really thought much about it but that's kinda funny lol
Hope you get sober though and never have to go back to jail 👍🏻
Way to go guys! 4 years for me! Best decision ever! ❤❤
