That's what it's about sharing to help others

Good stuff

You got me for a minute until i looked at your profile

Meaning what exactly ​@@Aram41

How is being sober a short coming? Or not being able to moderate being able to realize that in my self isn't a short coming at all

@@Addictivelyspeakingpodcast not being able to moderate yourself is a shortcoming it's a clutch something you need to focus on or it will hold you back something most of society doesn't struggle with "shortcoming"...

Goy use that to motivate your soberity alot of people not with us anymore because they didn't make it out but you did. Honor the one you lost be being the best version of you that you can be and live a life in recovery

Recovery is not an easy journey sometimes you have slip up but the important thing is you learn from that and keep trying to stay sober. It will always be a process just keep at it we are here for support

Suboxone saved my life maybe some day years from now I can try to stop it but until the war on drugs ends this is our only medication therapy option in america. Did cold Turkey sobriety for many years and always relapsed harder then last time and was miserable for years. On subs I can live a normal mostly ok life. Wish I never started any of it but to late for that after 15 years

@celebratecrypto3693 thanks for you comment the Important thing is your doing what works for you what keeps you sober keep fighting and do your Recovey journey your way 💪

Thanks for all the good things people are saying for each one of us in these comments it does help

@@celebratecrypto3693 here mate we get an injection over in Britain now it was originally brought out for alcohol addiction I've heard so so many good reports I can't remember the name but I'll find out you get it once a month once you get your dose sorted and it's meant to be a game changer the only thing is all your feelings start to creep in and things you haven't dealt with like deaths in family or just big things in general life comes back to haunt you but once you deal with that it'seant to be bliss no hunger for drugs wake up no funny tummy no cravings how good would that be I would go for it but can't as I'm epileptic and it interfears with that medication but you should try look this up ma man good luck bupamorphine I think it's called brother

Losing parents is never easy mother or father I've lost both and it's difficult

Thanks for the support 🙏

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it keep watch share it with others

Much appreciated! Thanks for your continued support bro

An absolute pleasure

Thanks bro I appreciate your continued support. Yeah that was a scary time I've had so many of these close call moments

That's a weird idea of fun but to each his own

I'd look for a therapist and possibly look in medication to help with depression if your dealing with addiction 12 step fellowship or find a recovery coach / specialist the first step is reaching out like you did here

Pharmaceutical companies spend far more than any other industry to influence politicians. Drugmakers have poured close to $2.5bn into lobbying and funding members of Congress over the past decade.

Five pharmaceutical companies were among the top 10 spenders for both campaign contributions and lobbying: Amgen, Eli Lilly and Company, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and Pfizer. Contributions to presidential candidates totaled $22 million.3 Mar 2020

They are and they are never held accountable for the shit they do

Thank you it definitely takes dedication

Thank you you have a great day as well

Thank you so much

Thank you and congrats on 6 years

It's just because alcohol is widely accepted. Weed still holds that propaganda they put out in the 1930's to make it illegal

@@Addictivelyspeakingpodcast yes about how it makes you in too a psycho etc but you would think with all the scientific proof that it can be so useful that it would be more acceptable now. Thats the problem with brain washed society even worse now with how media is turning people against each and brainwashing everyone

Absolutely agree we need to talk about it more and show the negative effects it has on people's lives

It's crazy how many lives alcohol abuse really effects but as a society we just aren't that bothered by it. Alcohol ruins lives period thanks for the comment I appreciate you sharing that

@@Addictivelyspeakingpodcast thank you for your kind words. And thank you for sharing your video. More awareness needs to be spread about alcohol and the problems it causes, the devastation and lives it ruins.

Thank you so much for watching and listening to my journey my goal is to help people now show them Recovery is possible.
