SCHOOL is the gateway to drugs

RCA saved my life for sure.

God bless 🙏

Those of you who may still be using this evil stuff....please be advised that your chances of living to a ripe old age is practically zero. I lost my wonderful son in an auto crash on his way to buy more meth. It "only" took about 15 years for him to go from a normal, loving young man to a urn full of ashes. I'm surprised he even made it to 35 years of age. If you are addicted to this stuff, the only thing I can do is pray for you and hope you will make the right decisions.

Crack is so much better. Saying this as my wife and her girlfriend and I are hitting our crack pipes hard.

Dude lost all credibility when he said he subscribes to the 12 step program put forth by a cult created by a salesman in the 1930s

RCA saved my life. Literally

This helped me so much thank you and thank the lord

Thanks for your insight I'm thinking of going there.🙏🏼

Showing gay couple as a example of love is a joke

I cannot wait! I start next week

Thank you.

Thanks Matt for all that you did to help me obtain a real life.

Looks nice

Thank you so much for all the help that you’ve provided to the world God bless you!❤

PSA to those in need of help...Keep in mind that this establishment is a business first. Making a profit is their top priority and trumps all else. They charge in the order of $1000 a day or more to save a life and will not save a single life if the money isn't there. I've seen people kicked out onto the street days into treatment because their insurance denied coverage, even when they were in a very bad place and desperate for help. Other's were denied treatment altogether because their insurance wasn't up to par. No money, no help, no exceptions! Furthermore, if you do have good insurance and wish to leave after your detox period is up, good luck with that because they will hold you captive so long as there is money to be extracted from your insurance. I have seen this turn very aggressive. This is the Hotel California, know this before you even call. About a year and a half or so ago they decided to "clean house" and terminated many of the most valuble employees, the fitness personal trainer, the pastor and many others who were amoung the most beloved and effective staff in the opinion of the patients there and it was all in the interest of raising profits. Many of the remaining staff are not up to par, for example I can name several counselors who will regularly fill their 2 hour primary group, which is supposed to be the true heart of your recovery, with something like a 3 mile walk down the near by bike trail or they will utilize a premade activity that required no thought on their part, just so that they can sit back and chill for the better part of the 2 hours that this group is scheduled for and offer very little if any therapeutic value to the patients. Walks and for fun activities should be offered but not substituted for a meaningful primary group, perhaps they could take place at a different time. It is very difficult to get any meaningful one on one time with ones assigned councelor and it seems as though they are often very difficult to locate and this is a problem because for just about any request that one might have they are told to take it up with their councelor. The patients themselves are the most valuable resource there in reality, because the peer led geoups are the most heavily attended and the ones ehich garner the most patient participation and you will gain access to the same like-minded folks by attending your local AA or NA meetings for free! Most of the healthy food items were slashed from the menu about a year and a half ago. No more healthy salad bar. Instead, you get a salad with iceberg lettuce and a grape tomato. For the money being charged, there is no excuse to skimp out on food. The detox period is lacking and subpar and consists of very little. For example, if alcohol is your drug of choice, you will be given a set course of a benzodiazapine titrated over a period of between a few days and a little over a week, depending on the patients abuse history. After that point, your remaining 3 weeks there will consist of just meetings and listening to others complain about how they feel trapped or misled by the facility.

It's hard to overcome because the psychosis seems to persist even when not using... impatience is a big issue. So even though the that one symptom (psychosis) may resolve in time, it's hard to not seek relief immediately. Of course more meth doesn't resolve the psychosis at all. It just removes the horrible depression that accompanies it. Knowing that you effed up your brain can be a hard fact to cope with.

Yea crystal meth usually has same penalties as crack n is stereotypically a white drug so enough with the race implications

thank you ❤

Thank you RCA I'm still sober and thanks to RCA I'm loving life. ❤️👌

Pretend to know what your talking about...

In my opinion there are very few times where a synthetic medication is truly needed. It was not till recent history that we have had such an epidemic of mental health problems. What has changed? Look at the industrial revolution. There is a reason why the stereotype of hippies exsist. Eat whole organic nourishing foods instead of processed, additive filled, never breaks down products, Stay physically connected with your community like in person not through technology, Stay grounded as in walk barefoot on the earth and keep your mind on reality, Get your sunshine istead of your screens, Get your excsersize instead of sitting at a desk. Do something creative that you love instead of grinding at an endless job you hate, Get a good reatorative sleep instead of working all night. There are so many studdies on various aspects of life that show definitively that certain things help with your health both mental and physical. A lot of health problems both mental and physical can be traced back to nutrition deficiencies and a tone are linked to vitamin D deficiency. We get that from the sun but we are all in class rooms or work buildings, or on our couches inside so we don't get the vitamin D. Frick I could go on for a while about the ways you can avoid synthetic medications specially for your mental health. Hell just cut out cane sugar and the food additives and the likelyhood that your anxiety will become more manageable is 100%. May not "cure" you but thats where good habbits in other areas come into place. Like getting enough deep sleep. Withoutthe right amount of sleep the brain can not function and then we get problems. Anyways medications do have their place though. If you have severe difficulties coping even with the help of a loved one to even get started in caring for yourself then yes medication can help. But know that most of the population simply has an imbalance in their body that when properly cared for can be realigned. There are very few with a truely "broken" scale where a medication is the only way out. You are loved and you are worth being here dispite your gelatinous meat sack trying to tell you otherwise. Honestly that could be parisites talking mean to you not just your negative experiences that wore a canyon of negativity into your brain. Baaah, start googling natural ways to help your self and you will learn to love yourself. I can't type everything here. ❤

Being respected by colleagues again.

I haven’t done it in almost 2 years and out of nowhere cravings. I can start and stop any drug on a dime but this one scares me the most because it’s not easy to quit and if I were to decide to fully submit - I know it would take everything away from me. Destroy my family and my future because it’s that great of a drug. I don’t look like the typical user at all but I can’t stop thinking about what I’d do if I found some. If somehow it got into my home. It’s better to never know what it’s like, because it never really leaves you - the desire and the memory never goes away.

Thank you.

I'm addicted to meth I am 50 years old with nothing to show for I've lost my whole family I'm homeless living on the streets. Ive been through countless treatment centers and nothing seems to work I can't stop using meth😪

Damn, how you buy a house only 9 months sober? Addicts don't have any money or any way to save money

❤❤❤

Great point. Although I am a Father, I know that reestablishing a healthy relationship with my children was one of the best benefits of my recovery.

💩

Thanks so much for this, this week, week 6 of recovery, I have had horrendous cravings

Hyther Frye saved my life

That's everybody when you grow up 😂 I know people who get black out drunk everynight and are at work at 6 a.m and do it all over again

Keep shining and helping people recover!

❤❤❤

This is me, 9 years sober and exactly what's going on with him is what's going on with me a lot of ads call on me and 1 just took an addict to a rehab recovery place

Well done, i hope you realize how many wish they could b in your shoes. Getting away from addiction sounds like a fictional story to most. Thanks for your post

Best video breaking it down, especially for highly intellectual individuals, who need the information just broken down into-meet and pretty potatoes…. Fantastic!! Follow it!!

I'm over a year sober and I'm absolutely miserable. And I was a heavy drinker for many many years. My girl dumped me after 5 years,I'm afraid to date sober now,my friends are all gone,my social life is over,I'm crabby and tired all the time. I was definitely happier with alcohol in my life. If things don't change soon,I'm gonna eat my gun.

And honestly, this is posted by the recovery center of America.…?. WTF is wrong with the recovery center of America that they are posting something like this. This is so inconsiderate. We get it that we go in circles, but this is so awful that you post this on KZbin for people to watch laugh at, and maybe it helps a little bit, but this is poking fun and hurtful and mean. The man in this video should feel horrible for himself. He’s probably some serve counselor doctor. He should be ashamed that he’s on KZbin mocking somebody with an addiction. His stupid little face twitches obnoxious, and unprofessional. This video is unprofessional.

Even though the person who’s talking isn’t shown, I hate the fact that this is posted on KZbin for people to look at this just adds to my anxiety of going to get help. Thanks a lot.

Sugar

Caffeine is the true gateway drug.

Yep that’s correct only I’d even go so far as to say even just snorting powder cocaine is almost no different either. Crack and cocaine are the exact same thing chemically. It’s just method of ingestion that differs. Snorting it lasts longer not only because typically you’re doing more cocaine but it’s also the fact that it takes longer to really hit you and even when it does it’s not all at once whereas smoking it delivers all of it very quickly. You’re ingesting it all in that smoke within seconds. Quicker high but doesn’t last nearly as long. So yeah crack cocaine it’s all same mane

Jason sounds like an abolutely sweet boy. sometimes thing ends up not like what we wanted it to be but the most important thing is that we all want to make our lives better!

Liars and bastard abusives! I hate some rehab centers because some workers in here are bastards and too idiots and clowns!

I just had surgery and prescribed Oxy. There’s absolutely Nooooo way I want to continue take this mess. I’m grateful for the fact that I don’t have an addictive personality. I don’t want to feel like this longer than I need to.

UCLA and bhucc therapy needs an online class program schedule for dialysis therapy recovery patients @ Queens valley hospital in la puente. California. ❤❤❤
