Biiiiiiig shouts to Cody for keeping it real and showing empathy to people struggling with addiction

[@kaemincha]

as someone who works in addiction and recovery, Cody's a real one. let's have some compassion for people.

[@STOPSYPHER]

As someone who’s a recovered addict and been through the system, you deserve zero praise for having basic self control. Me included

[@wiggles.]

[@SukeShiro]

@@STOPSYPHER have some empathy

[@STOPSYPHER]

@@SukeShiro nah. The people that expect empathy for having basic self control like a normal grown adult, are like children stuck in adult bodies. Rehab and AA/NA meetings feel like a pissing contest of who can tell the best sob story. Feels like a slumber party with a bunch of preteen girls. Just sitting in a circle telling sob stories and acting like you care.

[@kaemincha]

@@SukeShiro fr, i wish people would have more empathy for themselves and others. addiction is considered a brain disease by a majority of professionals these days. obviously there is some degree of personal accountability, but it is also still straight up hijacking your brain pathways.

[@iamyou3080]

Thank you guys so much for being compassionate about addiction. I swear people are so insensitive about it.

I grew up a lower class white kid in rural England and I was obsessed with learning how to Crip walk, I was so much happier back then

this is such a real and understanding conversation regarding addiction holy

[@phishdough]

I kinda see where Noel is coming from, I tend to have generally less sympathy for the wealthy; but things like life threatening addiction, thats just a horrible thing to go through.

[@noneofthiseverhappened]

Noel is pretty wealthy compared to us so I guess I shouldn't feel much sympathy for him whenever he complains about his life struggles

[@phishdough]

@@noneofthiseverhappened yeah, actually. Rich people have struggles just like anyone else. Only difference is they usually have the resources to deal with it better, so they rarely need sympathy, especially from internet randoms like us.

[@MitchellFace]

It is crazy how fast it went from like “bro Connor is tweaking right now lmao” to “he needs help” so fast on the internet. Honestly, kinda wholesome.

[@danrandlehandle]

With the whole depression/anxiety/addiction thing - Cody is so correct. People go so far to dismiss those issues in the name of “helping others to boost positivity” when it’s just reinforcing negative outcomes. That’s why there’s such a push to normalise things like sexuality and combatting gender stereotypes because people don’t always align and the sooner people stopped giving a duck the happier we’ll all be

[@enikkss]

bro takin so much test he mutating into a ninja turtle

[@blondie2508]

I rlly like this episode. As someone that struggles with addiction I agree that no matter who you are or what you’ve done addiction is a horrible disease and I empathize anyone that has it

My ex told me once “it’s not about how you feel when you’re on it, it’s about how you feel when you’re not” and I kinda rolled my eyes at him but now that I’m dealing with the same thing I get it - it is 100% the reason why you cant “just stop”

[@joeykauffman1359]

Coming from someone who was prescribed and fed an addiction without the funds, I really appreciate Cody speaking straight facts on it

[@JG-ff1dq]

Alcohol and all that stuff doesn’t help but I’m sure his coach said at some point that he had to get some sort of procedure done on a tooth because it was infected and as a result of that, needed Botox in his cheeks. I’m probably really off about some of that but I’m sure I heard something like that.

[@JG-ff1dq]

There was no need to make the sad Conor interview funny 💀

[@xXnostalgicXx]

Addiction can effect absolutely anyone. You can come from a good stable home with great parents and wind up strung out on drugs. Drug addiction is a living hell. Everyone in my family has struggled with it at one point or another, but we are all good and loving, caring people. Some people’s perspective on addiction makes me sick to my stomach, sitting in contempt of someone that has a disease. I agree we make our own choices, but what starts out as having a little fun can quickly turn into something completely different. I don’t expect people who have never experienced addiction to understand, but to pass judgement on someone else, I can’t help but to think “Who in the hell are you?” I’ve met addicts that are way better people than some that are straightedge. Equating drug addiction to being immoral will never make sense to me.

[@kokokringle98]

People equate it to being immoral, because addiction makes you do immoral things. How many drug addicts have stolen from their family & friends? I know I did when I was using. There’s a reason in 12 step programs, they tell you to make amends.

[@simplep1anner]

Based off of how empathetic Cody was here, I feel like he'll be a great and understanding dad.

[@BubbaTrikz]

[@IndigoDetry]

I don’t know why as soon as people start making a bunch of money or get famous the general public stop having empathy for them.

[@dennisbergkamp1553]

Envy

[@marannebbeling9799]

Have to be honest, I don’t buy that study without checking it myself. Because it’s also super easy to think that the causation is incorrect. Most depressed people don’t dance, so depressed people that DO dance are far more likely to recover from their already recovering depression. It’s like “escaping from poverty is strongly correlated with buying a yacht”.

[@vibangigan5336]

Damn good thing we don’t use peoples anecdotes and actual studies.

If you read this and you struggle with any type of addiction I hope you find your way out of that hole. Those of us who have been where you are know your plight. Those of us who have made it out know there is an end of to the dark path you walk and assure you it’s possible to find your way out. May you find peace.

[@bigbay1159]

Drugs can do different things to different people. I've had crazy night just high on weed and had night just watching a movie doing coke...i never understood people who act like drugs can only have one certain effect. Acid itself has left me a laughing fool moving my body randomly. But another time with acid just stuck locked eye at the tv not saying anything just still as a stone.

[@aaronwelch5912]

Absolutely spitting in this clip

[@mr.epsteinsisland3055]

Cody knows what’s up with coke addiction I’m glad he is speaking up about it even tho he refuses to acknowledge his addiction

[@kaemincha]

addiction truly can affect anyone

[@PolarBearProblems]

This is awesome! Only thing I will say, they absolutely knew that Oxy would have that effect, they lied about the findings.

[@eriksteverman]

Im so addicted to weed that i was the 420th like on this video

[@Starsongzz]

I tried Coke once, that was actually how I figured out I have adhd, it was kind of a bummer tbh so I gave up

[@HelpIwantToLeave]

I mean fuck if you're Connor McGregor what else are you gonna do with your life? He's gone from riding the high of being an international superstar in MMA no less to being a man whose lost his purpose and has ungodly levels of wealth and freedom. Cody's absolutely right, if anyone in the world was ever going to become a coke head it would be Connor McGregor, and he, like anyone else struggling with addiction, deserves empathy.

[@hellohello5301]

I personally think he’s withdrawling from alcohol to get ready for a fight, and the withdrawals were so bad he tried to cover it with coke but all it did was ramp up the shakes and make him talk in short bursts like he was

The C walk-in clinic

[@jordandevanteharris07]

Well some people are just natural less addicted to certain things. Also people want to say well I just never do it which is great it you had good role model or are down and bad and take it before your bar in develops you screw up your whole mental development and rewire your whole brain chemistry to these things. Also everyone addicted to shit just some people addiction don't fuck up there whole lives so there just lucky there are addicted to a less harmful thing.

i mean maybe also going to the gym/ excercise is good because it produces serotonin?????????

I am no professional, but just based off some research I actually don’t think this is drug related. I believe it’s early Parkinson’s disease.

aye at least our addiction is not as bad as a coke addiction

[@tim2548]

No

[@pixie9499]

conor’s character in the new roadhouse was pretty much this, just with a much more exaggerated “leprechaun” accent. it was super hard to take him seriously, especially knowing he was throwing tantrums over the movie 😂 really tho, i agree with cody that if he’s struggling, he deserves help.

[@nakedbat5378]

be quiet , thanks

[@mds1184]

How can you tell the difference with Conor on drugs and him being tired? How can you also tell that he’s coked up than just adhd? If you actually keep up with this athlete before the fame and movie, you’d know that he’s always had this energy. All I’m saying is he’s not on drugs. You’d know this guy was on drugs. He’s an animal on alcohol.

[@slick3996]

how much more evidence do you need man? it’s weird to cope this much

[@kokokringle98]

He’s uncontrollably convulsing dude. If not coke it’s alcohol withdrawal, which still means he’s an addict just to a different drug.
