Over two years ago I quit cold turkey. Tbh, AA didn’t really do it for me. I tried to attend meetings, tried the 12 steps… but it just wasn’t for me. I turned my energy into fitness and haven’t looked back since. Obviously most of us need outside help, but I’m just sharing my story. I was a hardcore addict. I am so glad those days are over. I hated looking at myself in the mirror. He’s right when he said we’re disciplined at keeping the addiction going. I somehow managed to refocus that discipline to something positive. Good luck to you who is reading this. It can be done.

I've started my journey, going from drugs and alcohol to running and lifting. I've got a 5k on the 20th of this month. Just jumping right in. I'm 49. Time is of the essence to me. Life is so precious. I've lost alot. There is family I will probably never get back, but I'm still trying to heal that, and I'm just so grateful for life that it's often times overwhelming. I love myself for the first time ever, and I'm gonna be the best fucking me possible. Keep it up. You are an inspiration.

I’ve made immense progress in my life since recovery. It was ten years ago when I made drastic changes. I don’t know if I’d say my life is leaps and bounds better, and that’s ok. My life is better in most areas, but I’ve accepted my social life will never be the same. And I’ve made my peace with that. A myth about recovery is that it will be so much better on the other side. Maybe, but life in recovery, especially the first 2-5 years may be more difficult. And that’s what I love about my life now. That I persevered through that shot show of physical, spiritual, and emotional healing to emerge on the other side a faaaar more righteous man.

@billymelnyk9555 15 күн бұрын

This session with Rich and Michael should also be called “Forks”. The parallel is incredible. “The Bear” Season 2, Episode 7 called “Forks” represents so many things: figuring out your place in the world, stepping through the sliding door, recovery, and most importantly understanding service; not just in hospitality, but in giving the gift of taking care of others. It’s a brilliant mind-fork. While surprise & delight is one of the keys to success of Eleven Madison Park and many great restaurants, it’s the realization that giving service is rewarding to those you serve, but first provides yourself with the understanding that it serves yourself too. Just like exercise and getting yourself moving, servicing others pushes you forward. When you’re on a plane they say that in case of an emergency put your oxygen mask on first then help the person next to you. Take care of yourself to take care of others, in hospitality. In service. Michael hit the fork in the road some time ago and had to make a decision on which way to turn to get to the other side. In fact, it was in the TV show called “Consumed” when Michael and his The Meatball Shop partner Daniel (whom I used to think was a meat ball, but now I adore him), are sitting next to each other in their tiny office, and Michael glances over and you can see he knows the path to take. He just has to say it out load. He finally did. He’s just like Richie from The Bear - finally found his calling. He’s been a hospitality maven forever but finally realized the path forward, in service to others. . In The Bear, Garrett notes: “I just like being able to serve other people now. You know? I think that's why restaurants and hospitals use the same word ‘hospitality.’” Rich and Michael are both serving others now, and it’s better hospitality than any restaurant in the world.

Fuck yes. I've never heard of Rich Roll. I stumbled upon this guy looking at Nick Bare's hybrid training stuff. Im a recovering alcoholic and addict. I'm at a shelter. I've had to say goodbye to the love of my life and move out because she was getting high and I didnt want to do it anymore. I couldn't save her. I could only do what's right for me. Anyway im babbling. Yeah, this is an amazing podcast. Ive got a great job i somehow have managed to keep during all my drunk escapades and reckless behavior. Im here at the shelter saving up for my own apartment. Something of my own for the first time finally at age 49. Should be in by the beginning of August. I still smoke cigarettes but am cutting down to a complete stop hopefully because ive got myself to register for a 5k thats on the 20th. I'm not even a runner. Well, actually...I am NOW. FUCK YES. Im so grateful to be sober and so grateful for life to the point of tears at times. I've never loved myself like i do today. Life is so precious. I'm just so excited and scared shitless to start an actual real happy life finally at age 49. Anyway, great podcast. I've got more hope. This really helped. Amazing inspiration.

My sober journey is not anyone else's and it can't be, so I won't tell people what I think they should do, because what do I know about their lives? Nothing. But this is who I am, and this is why I am who I am. Thanks again! Loving this episode.

It’s also admirable at the same time. I appreciate he shared such a personal experiences even tho he said it might sound woohooo. That’s the area that has so much to offer and sometimes it’s hard to talk about it because it’s almost impossible to find the best words to describe it. I believe that if more humans would get rid of the fear of unknown and do the breath work we could truly heal many aspects of our lives+ generational traumas.

Beautiful conversation❤. Thank you. I believe in the power of prayer. Most people, in thinking of the power of prayer, want to know whether prayer will heal the sick and answer the needs of their lives. In prayer we are given the bounty of being able to ask for whatever our heart desires, whether it is for healing for our selves or another, for the material necessities of life, or for the spiritual awakening of ourselves or our loved ones. The power of God is ready to be channeled through our prayers.

about to begin my sobriety journey. 7+ years of smack and opioids use just to feel normal. To deal with anxiety, self esteem, racing mind, and impulsive behaviour all in the midst of layoff and ongoing debt. Would love your help and support as I cant do it by myself. I am just tired now. Tired of being wake everyday to start from zero and just do enough to get by because you just cant function. I know I have to change. The one good thing is that now without job I kinda know what I want to do. Pursue a career in software engineering building stuff. Kinda feel like I have a purpose which is to get really good at what I do. I am a hindu but for some time I am getting curious about bible. Its may be because Jordan Peterson lectures. But I feel I am not lost anymore. Change is hard. Change is slow. As long as there is life there is hope. Love you all!

I think stopping 3-day benders with no sleep is pretty revolutionary, but I guess every addict is different.

So many things can come along that are superficial and carry us temporarily through sobriety. One day, however, the piper must be paid. It may be a day later, a decade, or a lifetime later. Over the years I've been privy to it all, including those who end up 6 months or a day before their death in their 50's or 80's, and suddenly they become aware of everything they avoided facing. Food, exercise, art, family, marriage, travel, work, etc. can all seem a panacea and even be evidenced as such for years by way of being distracted from root causes. Can a lifetime of avoidance be better than the flash before dying of overwhelming suffering and regret?

This reminds me of EckhartTolle‘s story, the question is who is the I and who is the you? Are you two different entities? How can the I hate the you. This is what caused Eckart Tolle’s enlightenment.

Free will is the very thing (and practice of it) that allows us the ability to change our genetic expression. If we don't investigate and exercise (like the gym) free will we lose it (like culture, peers and authority figures having too much sway in our orientation). Yes, my disposition is a part of my constitutional make up but that doesn't mean I can't change it. We assume because it's easier to hear our animal instincts and the like are unavoidable in science. But we are more than animals. We have extra; we have free will when acknowledged and worked with. Where we are at currently as societies is because we have given our will over to inappropriate entities and suppressed inherent knowledge, often unwittingly, but I can almost guarantee every one of us has had a conscious moment of pushing away wisdom of our birthright.

Push your first smoke of day back one hour. Then next week back another hour, then back another hour the following week, and so on until eventually you're only having one at the end of day...then quit that shit🎉

Is true mastery of self; once the so called addict, can master the discipline of having a celebratory 1 drink and not cascading into heavy drinking or similar? And that someone can do this with no G.O.D other than themselves.
