Seems to be a subjective subject. I still question the sanity within this concept.

Thank you for video.

Rehab works less then 5% of the time. Its a proven statistic. So yeah it " works" just not for the majority of people.

I found out when i got sober 36 years ago. After several years of mucking around with sobriety, calling my self sober, but not really in recovery.

I recently learned everything you just shared in freshman psychology class. And before that, my 8th grade teacher who is an occupational therapist, also taught us this basic and fundamental information on how to grow into a well adjusted adult. This is not new info. Im glad you found it out in your old age too. Easier said than done to use the knowledge in real life, I know

He got sober and left the family?

My dad thought what he needed for his recovery was to cut us off out of the blue. Now we're the ones left trying to recover.

In the name of Jesus Christ repent, and heaven will be given to you for our sins. I won’t forget about you if you forget about him I’ll get on my knees and beg him to forgive you. God bless you.

Really wish I knew to have this mind set when I was younger with my mom

write an instruction book get kids off drugs

Great video! Informative, interesting, and relatable. Great suggestions and a wonderful way to understand how and why these steps work!

sounds amazing!!! keep up the great work

It's the whole story and we deep down know this the word recovery says it all recover are God given self that's the whole story

Add to that quote expecting a different outcome

Isn’t that the Einstein theory of crazy?

So if u don't get in trouble it's all good ❤

I was pretty much making this up on the fly. Need to tighten it up a bit

Very relatable. Why do so many writers like to/ drink? To enter a state of altered consciousness and feel unshackled from the human dilemma, free flowing into the oblivion and helping to unleash all that is within.

Those sweet Easton blues 💙! ...ha!

In response to @shaneross7428 comment below I posted this short today. He raised such a great point. kzfaq.infoX1_nH58m74g?si=7_gt1I43ZtYZK6EY

Jung did not believe in God, he believed consciousness. The psychic change is being delivered from darkness by God. He restores you back to sanity and the “spirits” flee. Hey will come back if you let them in.

I really enjoyed this video. You said something so profound that I never thought about. Whatever addictions we have we do them because we think they'll make us feel whole. That really sheds light and makes it easier to say no to them because I know they will not make me whole.

The KZfaq channel video's SEO rating is poor of Due to this your subscribers and views are not increasing, and the titles, descriptions, and keywords SEO should be done correctly only then you will get good results. the same problem in Video every.

Every single video on your channel is amazing. But your video views are lower. Because your optimization is very poor. Your optimization needs to improve as soon as possible.

Are you familiar with a little town called Canton, Texas for any reason?

I can hardly believe it. Is it really you?

So true. Without my family's strong support and care, i would my have been able to come clean and get a better life

Thank you

I was searching for a high. Plain and simple, I detest when people try to ascribe something else to it. I like drugs that's it folks.

Wise words

Stop pushing.

There is no mystery in the in those drugs.......only fake spiritual sneak peaks.....demons use them to open you up to further control.....if you wanna come close to God and have true impactful revelation then you need to clense yourself in the blood of Jesus follow the Holy Spirit and then fast until GOD speaks........the whole world is trying to divert you from Yeshua Hamishiac......The Word my God.

😊

All religions are pure superstition

You sound allot like Sandy Beach to me

Wow , thanks! Guess I oughta post more lol

Absolutely Brilliant!!!😃👌

I used to be anti-12-step back in the days. But after having had a spiritual crisis/bottom last fall after nearly 5 years of sobriety, I am now all about following the steps as outlined in the Big Book. So I appreciated your comment at 4:05 about options for a more secular approach to recovery for some. It seems to me that going to 12-step looking for secular recovery is part of the reason that the recovery rates have drastically declined since the Bill W / Dr. Bob days. Yes, lots of people get sobriety out of going to meetings and getting a sponsor, but many (most?) don't actually get the promises of the BB/12 steps if they try to avoid the spiritual aspect. And despite what Ebby told Bill, the BB as written doesn't tell people to come up with their own concept of God; steps 3 and 11 refer to "God as we understood Him." We can never truly understand God (or the many different ways the BB refers to the Higher Power, like Creative Intelligence, Great Reality, Spirit of the Universe etc) which is why we don't have to do the steps with a specific understanding ... just be willing to be open We Agnostics (BB chapter 4). And this doesn't mean, like I heard recently, having your HP be cheese! Anyone who needs more info on just how spiritual the 12 step program is (at least as written in the Big Book) should look into AA's early history, and especially how the program was informed by the Oxford Group. That's how both Bill W and Dr. Bob got sober! One quibble with the talk: I think your paraphrase of Jimmy Stewart and It's a Wonderful Life at 8:36 left a little to be desired. His character was actually a very nice guy who was pushed to the edge after a long life of giving to others at his own expense. And he didn't change after jumping into the river, he changed after Clarence (the angel) granted his wish and saw how life would be if he'd never been born. And he's taken through a fairly longish "spiritual experience" where he finds out how just how wonderful his life had been. Just sayin' ... not a big huge deal in terms of the point of your talk, but it's a classic movie. Had to comment. 😊

But that’s you that doesn’t apply to everybody

That's your fault completely....

Addendum: This is in no way to say that those in recovery should not work in the field. It's just important to recognize the boundary.

Love your videos. My clean date is 8 September 2023.

I couldn't agree more & appreciate you sharing another part of your journey.

We can handle a little bit more of the alchemy up to and including the Mysterium Conjiunctionis. It is the union of opposites that arises.

Yeah but how do I accept and love the parts that are evil?

This is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. Coming from family member of an alcoholic.

This is misleading and monochromatic. You made one statement, and people may arrive at the conclusion (based on how you worded the video) that it’s up to the family to police their children and think they can “fix” them. Nobody can really help an alcoholic/addict other than another alcoholic/addict. You know that.

Makes sense I think This is why people should be getting trip-sitters and possibly (I'm not too well educated on this stuff) a medical professional to make sure they're okay Anyone can have a bad trip and if you're taking something like this to improve mental health cause you're not doing too well it can also have a lasting negative effect as supposed to a positive one Be safe peeps ❤

If this gets hate its true
