It's easy to lose your way, and once you do it can happen over and over again.

Amen!

Right there with you!!

The system is so screwed up. People make mistakes, pay the price and then get out and when they try to start over they can't get jobs...we need to get rid of that mindset.😢

I can feel the slap too, silly me... But ay okay Cheers

Exactly!

Exactly my thoughts. They want to be heard👌🏽

there's meetings everywhere. That is what they need.

You got this!!! I promise life is so beautiful without drugs; it’s not easy as you know but it’s WORTH IT! One day at a time, live in the moment, focus on you and learn to love yourself before anything; once that happens, life opens up to you and you will never go back. Remind yourself, you’re worth it, you deserve it and never look back…it’s called the past for a reason! The future is now! You can do it; it sounds like you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired-that’s when I was ready and sought the help I so badly needed and here I am almost 10 years later sober, successful and happy! If I can do it; you can too!!!! 💪💪💪

Hope everything is going well bro… small steps Man U got this

@@emm2937 awesome!! Congrats on ten years! Everything you said was perfect! Im three years clean and never felt better in my whole life! Ill never touch drugs again, ever!

@@krissykriss328 thank you! Congratulations to you as well!!! Keep it up! Life is too great to ever live it any other way than sober! 👏💪🥰

@@emm2937 Tell me about it! I wish I could give all these addicts Mark interviews the free and amazing feelings I feel off of drugs, and help them ,, its literally life changing lol, but I cant , its its something they have to do on their own. I can only tell them how much better you feel off of drugs ( its like breaking free from chains that bind you ).Thank you for your kind words! 💗

I read this taking fat shi t

Same here…I discovered Mark’s channel about eight months ago. I never miss a post. I live a “square life” and have grown as a person. My perception of the less fortunate has changed. A simple hello and treating a person down on their luck with respect and dignity can make a difference. Keep doing what you are doing Mark! Thank you!

Everybody has a story. Everyone wants to MATTER. 90% of us contribute to helping others in one way or another. I wouldn't have known these stories had it not been for Mark. Gracias!

Me to! This channel is a life saver! (Not to be to hyperbolic lol). But that my story and I'm going to stick with it.

Me too.

I was just thinking the same exact thing

Everyone is fighting a war we know nothing about

I’m just at that part in the interview right now…. Just amazing

Yup, there comes a time when we have to draw a line.

That was incredible

Especially if they didn't even have a real genuine conversation asking what made him do that or how did he get caught up in the selling of the drugs... what's the why.. just those simple questions would have opened this man up to spill out his childhood and they would have understood and coach could of helped him etc

was hoping someone would have commented this. Just insane that this happened.

Very funny . Rules are rules

@@terrytownsend5583 somehow the humour is escaping me

You don't get "caught up" in selling drugs. It's a series of deliberate decisions. @@Cheese_crackers

How are you doing? I hope you’re well. This is heartbreaking.

@@brentbaker1637 I’m doing better. Working with a sponsor and studying the big book so i can better understand myself. And believing this is what my higher power wants me to do. I thank AA for this day that I’m clean and sober. Thank you 🙏 so much for asking.

@@Salvievelynn You can do it !!! Im three years clean and I was the worst addict ever! Hugs !💗💗

You got this! Go claim the life you want. You are intrinsically worthy.

It sucks doesn't it? After a period of moderate use I always think i can manage drugs. Then shit starts to happen and I stop, then two or three months later I start the cycle again. After getting my act together last time I got a great job making over 100k/ year and just like clockwork, the cycle of destruction, after being there a month. Got away with it but can't f up again, Im 40 years old, waaaaaay too old for this.

@@ObiAmajoyiSrMD thank you! I will!!! I wrote I'll try, but I changed my mind! Lol! Have a great day!

Good luck.

We need more capable and qualified counselors because there's a lot with degrees who are clueless.

@@marylougeorge9890 I agree with you, 100% Mary! My personal take on this is that most all health care professionals and doctor’s in this field and practice do is mostly soft selling and pushing drugs to financially maintain a client base. You have to be strong to look far and wide to find the right one for you. But, by the time they know that they need help they are in a desperately clouded state of mind. I’m proud of Mark going it Cold Turkey. We all need to get better and heal from life’s problems and our problems. Our bodies are engineered to heal and repair-not to medicate and label to prescribe toxins to tap into our own natural feel good receptors. It’s not help-it’s all a lie. Who wants to live a lie? Those that continue to want to escape reality. We suffer because we desire to heal ourselves, our ways and to learn more about ourselves. Depression is a sure sign that we have to learn to change. We need clarity and a new perspective. We need closure and that comes with time with yourself. Self care is loving and accepting yourself as you are deep down inside. We lose ourselves with drugs or prescriptions as they numb us and most all psychotropics cause Gray matter loss-it is similar to a slow liquid lobotomy to placate you. Ones own truths actually cures. Getting down to ones authentic feelings work not a drug to numb you, maintain and control you. Being heard brings clarity. Family counseling if possible can bring healing because ones truths and feelings deserve to be heard. After, seeing what really happens to individuals and studying this subject since my childhood; I know the damage prescription drugs and shock therapy do to a person as well as the entire family and how the subsequent generations are affected due to postpartum depression, and abuse within the home. Heal the family, heal the child! Trust yourself before possibly trusting a judgmental, power driven assessment robot, and/or a selfish, greedy pill pusher that labels to prescribe to only intercept your clean and clear drug free life recovery. I’m so proud of Mark-standing up for himself in this way! By doing this one act, he gained back his authority over his own person and his recovery. He also took ownership of his rights to face his own responsibilities in his life. And, he clearly took it for his future lifes’ experiences and journey going forward. That is a huge step in the right direction in my opinion. Bravo! Most people are in a vulnerable state of mind when seeking help and are most definitely easily swayed by a so called authority figure. For whom only bandaids the scars and wounds with chemicals that numb and weakens ones own resolve to fully fulfill ones soul purpose to be clean and aware-not controlled. Even causing further insecurities and shame, stigmatizing a client with the hook of labels of mental health issues or illness. Especially when people are only trying to survive. When they just really need guidance on how to survive and overcome life’s traumas through awareness sessions as well as to basically be accepted, believed and heard. ETA🌹

Hes a master manipulator.

@@elaineandrepont I agree that people often use meds/drugs rather than face their trauma. However, meds are useful in helping a person use what they learn in therapy to improve their quality of life. It's unbelievable torment to live with the beginning of PTSD. It's like you're mind is drowning in fear. You can't talk or think about whatever your trigger is. You have to close that door ASAP because the fear is overwhelming. Being on the right medicine can help the individual accomplish the normal demands of life like eating, getting dressed, showering, answering the door/phone... Seriously.

@@marylougeorge9890 Most people live and manage with PTSD, and cope their whole lives with CPTSD without ever seeing a therapist. Some actually get over their CPTSD with self work and an intense year of talk therapy. And, most people that are in a deep state of major depression can also manage somewhat; but, others seriously need help with meds to snap out of their chronic depression and/or suicidal ideology and state of mind. Yes, there are certain drugs that can help a person that is in a catatonic state, suicidal state or who are in complete and utter shock. These are serious emergencies! Psychedelics are known to aid in healing with proper supervision. They also can help reset the neural-plasticity. The truth is,...in my opinion, from what I have witnessed in my life personally as well as observed and read when I was doing my own research,...that meds can easily have one naïve dependent for life on prescription drugs. And, a-lot of people around the world are co-dependent abused souls that can not standup for their rights very well especially when they are being gas lighted or abused in their homes. Others want the drugs to alter their minds and further escape and they want to be labeled because it gives them some clarity of what it is that makes them tick. The body is engineered to self regulate and it adapts as well to meds that are engineered to tap into ones receptors. Therefore, due to their ease in adapting, eventually, a combination of meds is needed or higher dosages are prescribed for the doctors to regulate. In all actuality intercepting and/or by-passing the body’s own self regulations. The 2weeks it takes to kick in is in fact to intercept-shutting down the bodies own efforts to self regulate. They literally create opiate receptors that look like bullet holes in an MRI. Studies from the MRI scans in the 30-40 till now show the increase of opiate receptors. These vulnerable trusting clients become addicted and rely on another concoction for a new high or fix; especially if they have highly addictive traits. It’s only a numbing affect that uses their own natural resources, but the drugs are toxins. Basically, one can easily lose their backbone to never be able to stand up to authority figures or their abusive spouse. They believe wholeheartedly that they need the drugs to cope with life. They feel they have a damaged brain due to the stigmas. They never resolve their issues and remain stuck because they treat clients like patients and sell them on meds. I’ve seen generations dependent on meds due to sadistic, left-brained, narcissistic spousal abuse. The problem is the abuse but they only treat their patient not the bread winner that thrives off of their power and victim supply-to boost their egos. Most of these drugs are prescribed to maintain a client base and to ensure this fact, they label. Labeling stigmatizes the next generation and up to six generations, I have read. The questionnaire asks if you have a relative or close relative that had or has a mental disorder? Some doctors say that there is a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder. But, I have also read it’s less than 1% inheritance. The money it costs to maintain a vulnerable victim of abuse is a stressor, therapy costs money, that more often than not consists of discussing medications mostly. And, these costs put a strain on their relationship with their abuser. The abusers have power and control, they pay the bills-and the doctors who are abusers collect the bills and they both run the show; but, the weak link is the one that is dependent and labeled as defective-the one who is dependent on drugs and obsessed with the switch they experience as they go deeper within themselves and isolate. Resentment builds within the relationship and only causes more neglect, more abuse and stress, it seems to never end until divorce. Why? In my personal opinion, the therapist never intended to truly heal and build up a client. They only narrow in on the weakest link not the abuser or the family dynamics. They just placate, medicate and numb their patient without any true therapy, plan of action or healing. They keep face and control the victim in order to keep their bills paid and to afford vacations and college funds for their children. These strong medications should never be used long term because in my opinion they rely heavily on this routine to feel good when they really need to work on applying themselves to feel good naturally. And, solve the issues that their clients suffer-through day in and out. This is how prescribed drugs work-people are addicted and brainwashed with how the doctors use their composure, lingo and how professionally present themselves as the authority figure over them when they label them. They keep their client base and sometimes get kickbacks. The clients/patient looks up to the doctors to fix them. And, they enjoy the high just like an addict. When the drug no longer works, higher dosages are prescribed, when this fades out and doesn’t work they add more prescriptions through out the years of taking more toxic medications that literally tap into your own feel good receptors to release dopamine and when that doesn’t satisfy they give you more experimental drugs to maintain and regulate your mood. I’ve known patients-clients that were up to 40 pills a day for years on end until one good doctor took over. This new doctor weened her client off of pretty much all the medications and supplemented her client with vitamins. This person was restored and healed completely on next to no meds what so ever after the divorce. Problem solved but it took 28 plus years to be theirselves once again and accepted. Talk therapy and especially family therapy is the best therapy because you get to the root of the problems and that is where the real healing and clarity begins. ETA🌹

this dude hasn't seen nothin his story is everyone's story

@blookyblops and the tinfoil hat gang why are you shitting on his story, and undermining what he has been through? Just because it doesn't meet your standards of what you consider a hard life doesn't mean he hasn't suffered. Compassion must not be in your nature. Try it sometimes.
