My husband and the father of my 2 Beautiful daughter died.. He was an alcoholic... Now I've attracted a partner with the same habits😰😢🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for sharing this story. I have a long distance relationship of 7years. My partner had 2failed marriages and a 3rd failed relationship. I love this person but I feel that I've enabled him long enough... To go to him when he reach out for me... But I feel I've had ENOUGH... I PRAY THAT WILL ONE DAY BE I A POSITION TO CUT ALL TIES😢🙏🙏🙏I LOVE HIM AND HE CLAIMS TO LOVE ME....

My husband is addicted to Coke I have tried so hard to help he's in denial he doesn't want help he has destroyed me and my boy's and I have started my divorce process

My ex husband died almost two years ago from late stage alcoholism. Through his whole downward spiral he had a house of his own and money to pay his bills - all due to his family who bought the house, financed repairs, and gave him odd jobs to earn some money here and there. Without these things I have no doubt he would have either been homeless or in jail. He never had to endure the discomfort of his addiction until it literally destroyed his health and by then it was far too late for him to change.

I suffered severe trauma several years ago as a teenage. Was actually addicted to Crack. Spent my whole life fighting Crack addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Please how can I stop it

Thank you so much!!

I was diagnosed with PTSD 6 years ago. I have never heard the term "Post traumatic growth". Thank you for this. I have never viewed it this way.

This is so true, I was on opioids and Benzodiazepines from age 15 to like 21, and then slowly got off everything, I was on sublocade for years and finally stopped it all about a year back, I now workout daily, it keeps me sane and helps me with the cravings. Nothing works like exercise

Been sober about 5 years now and still feel that blahhness about life. Only thing really keeping me going is the gym and hookups. Not a day goes by where I don’t want to take opiates again or smoke weed. I know it takes time to feel like is worth living but how much longer?

I needed to hear this. My son is suffering with alcoholism. I’m suffering with knowing when to help and when not to. His wife wants a divorce. Her parents took the kids and now the wife has moved out. My son is now left in a filthy dirty condo. So bad that half the food I brought for him I can’t store it there. The home is infested with roaches. The refrigerator doesn’t even work. I’ve been crying for three days now. He is facing a DUI, keys to vehicle have been taken. Dear God how am I going to exist knowing he is in this condition. He tells me he can’t go get help because he has to pay the rent. But he hasn’t been working so how can he pay the rent? Now the wife needs food for my grandchildren. She also has addictions and depression. I just want my life back and not worry about what’s going on with them. They made these choices.

To all those who read this ... Please don't give up and don't use drugs.

they dont know jack schit

I am speaking from a spouse's point of view and I have experienced this "punishment" recently because I decided to say no. Mainly because my spouse is not even in a place where he can even cover any of my bills or help with rent at all. I had to let him know I don't have anymore money to be paying for beer. I have bills and rent to pay. Then I said that it feels like you're not satisfied with my company unless I am helping pay for beer to which of course there has been no response. Punishment is a very real way that they try to manipulate and it sickening!!!

I love your voice and I came on this channel after being directed to another channel. I appreciate your delivery. No, is a complete sentence. I needed to hear this.

I must be the exception. I spent 35 years trying to drown away the memories of childhood Trauma. I am currently 1.5 years without alcohol. It does make me sad to hear the overwhelming consensus, coming from addiction specialists and or family court lawyers, "They will never stop". So much doubt. The subject of "Alcoholism" needs a fresh light. For too long now, imo, referring to Alcoholism as a disease is flat wrong. It is an addiction to temporary relief from shame and guilt. I am 47 and suffer with C-PTSD due to toxic family systems of neglect, abandonment, complete disregard for my education ect. "Perfect 10 score from A.C.E.S. I am happy to say that I suffer no longer from attempting to hide behind alcohol but the most important fact is that I HAVE NO DESIRE. Just tonight, I have decided to write a book to tell my story and am considering becoming an addiction therapist or supporting role (too old for new career?) If your loved one struggles with alcohol, I sympathize for all parties involved but for the "alcoholic", IT IS IMPERATIVE (SOMEHOW) TO REACH DEEP DOWN INSIDE AND FACE YOURSELF!!

What an incredible story. Thank you for sharing and helping those of us who care for an addict say no.

Please pray for my son Geno. He is 23 and struggling with addiction to Fentanyl. This is the absolute worst thing I have ever experienced.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9BxrNZ2nrW2hKs.html My son Dylan passed away from fentanyl poisoning on March 17th 2023 in California.The man’s couch he died on knew Dylan was overdosing and didn’t call for help. This man sat Dylan up on his couch and left to do errands. Me living in Wisconsin called the police immediately, they couldn’t send anyone out because we didn’t know the apartment number just the complex. So I pleaded and begged this man to give me his apartment number, he refused. He has not been charged with anything, yet he knowingly hindered Dylan and us from getting Dylan the life saving treatment he needed. Dylan was seven blocks from a hospital. My heart will forever be broken as my only child was taken from me. Dylan should have justice. Dylan deserved much better than to die alone on Eric’s couch.

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.

I relapsed into abstinence a couple of years ago. It was awful

Thank you for this video. Going thru this hell as a parent My Daughter is addicted to heroin. Refused to stay in rehab. Lies constantly saying she isn’t using. Praying for All here reading this. Love & Light🙏🏻🌿💪

💙

Sending ALL parents and their children who need it; love, light and positive healing energy ✨️💜✨️ I cried through this entire video. The day before I had to kick my son out. We couldn't take it anymore. Like this gentleman and his mother, my son and I were close but meth has changed him into someone I don't know. He called me every horrible name and told me several times to "F*CK OFF!" & "F*CK YOU B*TCH!" I have broken down in tears because I don't want him to get sick or die. He's my baby 😢 I know I have to be strong and just hope he realizes what he needs to do. May ALL of you find strength, peace and love to help you through your life journey 🙏💜✨️💜🙏

🇧🇷🇧🇷 DON'T EVER " TRY ANY DRUG " . YOU THINK YOU WILL HAVE " CONTROL " BUT... YOU WILL END UP ADDICTED AND YOUR LIFE WILL BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. 🇧🇷🇧🇷

My son needs medical attention however, refuses to go to the hospital. Any suggestions. Thank you

I flew to Las Vegas to go drive out to Zion national park and I’m coming off subs and 16 years of opiate use and all you said nailed it. I’m sitting in my hotel right now alone doing nothing my entire time here because I just feel dead inside. I don’t want to see or do or talk or laugh or cry. I feel like my soul died and left a corpse a “ living dead girl” walking. I haven’t even eaten anything for a week…. Can’t enjoy food at all… seems like work to eat. Nothing helps this pain … I could be on a roller coaster and yawn. I came here to go whitewater rafting also and now I just won’t bother wasting my money or the effort

SUPER bland life. there's no joy in anything at all. quitting alcohol after a long term relationship break up.

Hugs are awkward for men some universal truths will never change

Thank you for this….. I’m going to try very hard to use all this information the next time that call/text comes

I think I’m just to far gone for this. Did opiates for around 25 years (oxy’s, H,fent) along with being an alcoholic. Been off them for close to six years. Exercising just makes me feel horrible afterwards and kind of ruins my day.

I have one question why i have non stop for month goose bumps and extreme coldness specialy in the morning im in paws 5minths it is normal?sorry for my language bye from Macedonia❤❤❤

Yes do he work.

Happy to have found this. Thank you.

It’s difficult period, most of these are parents of adult children. What about a 13-14 yr old addict that runs away, for days puts the family thru hell. These are children, how does a parent deal with this?

My son jumped off a building and now is recovering at home. What can I do?

I will try my best to Break the addiction and enjoy my life a human being in reality. Thank You Sir 🙌

Apparently, alcohol can produce 2 to 10 times more dopamine in the brain than natural rewards That totally sucks! Wish it was the other way round but I'm sure there is a good reason for it, probably something to do with virtues of patience and resilience

Thx

Watching this while I'm smoking. It was only maybe once or twice a month I used. Now it's weekly and it's affecting my mood, my relationship with my partner, money and the People we are around. I used to enjoy it but now I'm starting to hate it but my partner uses aswell. So it's hard to get away from. I'm not sure what to do anymore ❤

I’ve recently stated a kickboxing class for my own mental health. I’m not kidding today I felt like crying when I was beating the crap out of the bag. It felt like all my stress and angry was coming out. I’m starting to take care of myself. I’ve done everything I can for this man. My own mental and physical health started deteriorating. I don’t want to be depressed and anxious anymore. I’m trying to get to stronger place now. I’m starting to Focus more on God than the addiction. Prayer is helping me even in the hardest times. I dropped down to my knees and cry to God. It’s giving me peace. Which is all I want at this point. It’s crazy but it’s almost like they need help and so do we. I’m sorry all of your are dealing with the same thing I am. Please take care of yourself. God bless everyone.

I have been addicted to crack cocaine for 16 years it has destroyed my life only by the grace of God am I still breathing thank you Jesus for blessing me with another day everything he is saying is facts and Truth

I wish you could be my counselor

I'm not an addict, but have still experienced 'blah' for many years. I have always lived a boring life, because I'm just bleh about life

Thank you!! Such great material & well spoken!! I will be using this for my group psychoed on relapse prevention!!

you are Rob ot

Thank you so much for this video guys. I'm gonna go see how many pushups I can do in 2 minutes lol. Last time I tried I only did like 20 I didn't realize how unfit I had become. If I use anything now I will feel so much worse than I feel at the moment. Its not a very nice feeling to reach the "end of the road" where the substance doesn't even give much reward either anymore. If I'm gonna be sad USING, and im gonna be sad NOT USING, i might as well just be sad NOT USING. Im going to go to the beach this weekend and look out at the water...something about that endless expanse of water... kinda calming for me

😮God told that if I had one more hit I would be Dead..I threw the pipe down

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.

Great explanation !!!!
