Addiction Denial MASTERCLASS

[@cntrygrlmtscityboy]

I just want you to know that this is the best video I have ever seen of yours! I have been following you for a while and I get so much wisdom and knowledge. I do go to Alanon and my husband does go to AA. We have a son who is currently incarceratedand hopefully he can get sober. Your videos have been a wonderful addition to my recovery program because I know that there is also knowledge to be learned outside of Alanon and I can’t just completely detach from my son. So thank you so much for your healthy sharing and for all that you do!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing a bit of your story with me. I'm truly honored that my videos have been able to provide you with additional wisdom. It sounds like you and your family have been through a lot, and I can only imagine how difficult it must be with your son's current situation. Going to jail is a turning point for a LOT of people. I hope that's exactly the way it works for your son. Here's a link to a video interview I did with someone in that same situation: kzbin.infoJ9jq9h1YM_4 Stay strong, and know that there is always hope.

This is your best video yet Amber!!! You are so insightful and so pleasant to listen to ❤ Thank you for educating us and helping us to understand our addicted loved one’s thoughts and behaviors!

[@PutTheShovelDown]

Thank you, Karen! 😁😁😁

What does numbing actually feel like? So they take the drug and what they don’t care what anyone thinks? They don’t care that police could catch them driving under the influence? They don’t care if they lose their partner? Meth has really changed my person.

I was codependant i was using magical thinking. If i can get him into recovery it will be fine. I left so glad I did

[@sharonbarnes9080]

This was so so good. Because sometimes we do think to shake the addiction person up. I can see it more clearly of what the addiction is doing to my loved ones thinking and feeling. Shame- hopelessness Guilt- change is possible.

I've been watching a review of small plane crashes - the lack of awareness and their abilities is staggering - the vast majority of accidents is pilot error they also are not dealing with reality that literally leads to a crash. Someone below said reality is the opposite of addiction that seems like an accurate statement.

[@EyesOnThais]

Brilliant!

[@PutTheShovelDown]

Thanks, Eyes!

22:51 I love you so much Amber- but we are so scared because we are in danger -- living with a volatile alcoholic make it impossible to not

[@PutTheShovelDown]

Not sure if you've seen this video, but it might be helpful. It's about people who get Angry when drinking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYjOlYNrmcqKe7s

[@amberlow9529]

The ads every 4-5 minutes ARE KILLING ME 😢

[@sharonscott1776]

In active addiction can they feel love? Or is that part of the brain for feelings switched off and the affection etc is more manipulation to get what they want?

[@PutTheShovelDown]

Yes, they can feel love, but they will have a hard time being consistently loving. The feeling of love = YES. The behavior of love = sometimes.

[@melissafoster9701]

How can he make me know hes sorry?

[@sondabarreto3498]

lost my husband of 27 years to drugs and he is having an affair with a 23 year old child.....He is 55

[@melissafoster9701]

He blames me evern for cheatig because i held him accountable for porn on hs phone its my fault for blocking him a week so he moved in with someone else instead of apologizing. Hes been back 9 months.
