[@bflatblueswoman]

Trying to get sober being a non-celebrity is hard enough. As an ex-addict the title of this video caught my eye. I thought I'd be dead by my own hand before I turned 30, but the survivor in me had other plans. I've been sober 19 years (consecutive😏 )& next month I'll be 61 years old.

Recovered addict here - in my opinion, addicts are different from regular people because they use drugs to mask deeper issues. I've been clean and sober for 4 years and the idea of altering my mind with any substance seems like the worst possible thing I could do. Once you get you mind, body, and spirit into a balanced state, you sober experience of reality is a thousand times better than anything you get from drugs. I'm grateful that my addiction forced me to do the inner-work that made me realize this.

[@khorn81]

Congratulations on your 4 years! As someone in recovery I completely agree with what you’ve said.

[@fernvelas3753]

Power to you🙏 Do you think her " California sober" is a good idea?

[@scottchampeau9672]

I’ll speak for myself. California sober would not work for me. I have 7 years clean and sober. If I smoked it would be a matter of time before I just went and got my drug of choice. Many people go on the marijuana maintenance program. Some do it till they are ready to put everything down and some don’t. Personally I take no chances I like how my life is now.

[@masonminor333]

Congrats on four years! My sobriety birthday is today coincidentally, and I completely agree. The last two years of being sober would have been impossible if I hadn't abstained completely and worked a program. But more power to her.

[@muncher1753]

No doubt. Everyone wants absolutes nowadays, whether it be with politics, drugs, diet, all of this shit. Why should any addiction be solved by going cold turkey or completely cutting it over time. Look at people that crash diet, or go on major diets, the fail rate isn’t even astonishing anymore. I firmly believe that moderation is the answer to most if not all of these problems. California sober is the essence of being happy. I’m Talking as a highly functional alcoholic. Although I do go on extended amounts of time of cold turkey but only because my moderation has gotten me used to Not drinking, as soon as I drink though I fight the need to consume by keeping my consumption moderated, instead of a bottle a night, I drink a bottle in 3-5 days But only if the bottle is opened. A way I keep myself cold turkey is by keeping the ‘Cork’ as a barrier

Great, that may work for you- as you stated, everyone's recovery is different. but for a ton of people, weed and (especially) alcohol, can be an immediate trigger into relapse.

[@noufalabbasi8488]

I’m sensing a narcissist in our presence. “What a lot of people don’t know..” is the phrase that has been tossed throughout this whole journey. She clearly doesn’t know or is willing to admit that all the toxic things that she has been doing IS and will ALWAYS be the source of why she is miserable. That’s why you need to work your ass of in trying to overcome these obstacles that life throws in your way in order to test you and show you that you’re more capable than you think you are.

And yes it has its perks. More money than you can spend, adulation, popularity, attention. But it comes at a price. It seems like she’s not happy in that life at this point. But she’s at a level where you can’t just get out. She has a lifestyle that she can’t turn away from. Some people live the celebrity life easily.

This is a person who after going through addiction and mental turmoil, decided to own her truth, as she said, and found a way to rise above it. Kudos to you @Demilavoto. Im not particularly fond of her genre of music but I'm definitely a fan of her as a person now that I've heard how she is overcoming her addictions that started as a preteen. I'm rooting for her and wish her all the best.

looool.... In all seriousness though, Alcohol is a INSANELY powerful drug. 50$ worth of booze can easily kill you (and put you in worse state then crack, opiates/opiods, etc) . The substance is prettty addictive. What makes things worse society really makes it so easy to drink long enough to become addicted (sports events,dancing, family events etc). I once was getting the shakes after december to january. i had so many family,bar,hockey,new years events and got wasted at every one . The physical withdrawl is one of the few that can truly kill you by itself. I had methadone doctors tell me serious alcohol withdrawl is more dangerous then opiate withdrawl. Normally it takes a co morbidity for morphine withdrawl to kill you. This isn't the case with alcohol.... To me its pretty crazy you buy such a insanely powerful stubstance but not another...

It would slowly disperse throughout the day, constantly making me cough and more and more sick from the exposure. As for the "natural" origin of weed, water is natural , why don't you drown in it ? or, wait, even better, I'd like you to try the all-natural-cure Belladonna? I'm sure you'll appreciate it :D. You really shouldn't accuse me of being selfish when you're the ones IMPOSING your choices on others and ruining other people's lives.

It's just vernacular. When libs say that and they aren't being aggressive, it just means "my understanding is X" We don't know very many things 100%.

[@Velereonics]

@Benghali In Platforms And what is that result? Did you read what I wrote? They use it when they're talking about their perception of reality. Again, objectivity is definitely a real thing in certain contexts but in others it's not. If you pick unnecessary fights you're going to end up strung out. Some things radlibs are doing are extremely problematic but the existence of the term "my truth" is not one of them.

[@Velereonics]

@Benghali In Platforms No, actually. Your issue is that you're lumping them all together. I'm right wing, but I'm not right wing in the way Ben Shapiro is, as an example. There are marxists on the left. They are concerned with class, eg Ant*fa (not sure if that's a censored word). There are cultural marxists, these are trans activists, third wave feminists, race essentialists. Power+privilege people, basically. The term "cultural marxist" is a lot more vague than "marxist." I've seen it used to describe a ton of groups on the left and right. She falls more into that second category. In LA though, people like her are intensely nonconfrontational. Listen to where she uses the term. She's saying "even when I say what I believe to be true, I have to be careful because I'm a celebrity and I only work if my reputation is intact." I think like with Marxism you're conflating all uses of the term with the most aggressive use of the term. She's not attacking truth. She's saying she's sincere when she speaks. That's a good thing, I would think.

I'd like to inform you she has since rejected "California sober", because she's a fiend, and a fiend cannot smoke weed and drink booze and think those substances don't ignite the phenomenon of craving, i.e. the obsession of the mind, so, her own experiences eventually convinced her that's just one more lie the "disease" sell you...she is super funny and pretty though, love her laugh

My brother was a hard core addict. He smoked weed or was "California sober" and it didn't stop him from ODing. Does that mean it won't for everyone...no but there's a reason why they advise against it in early recovery. I'm a huge fan of her voice. I say it that way bc frankly over the years I stopped liking her as a person but I still think she's one of most gifted singers of my generation. With that being said she has some serious mental health issues on top of her addiction. I hope for the love of everything she is staying away from the stuff that could kill her but it's not a secret she has codependency issues with men or "love" and the idea of it and self worth issues. She needs to actually address these things out of the spot light or we will hear about another incident on the news. IMO. Everytime she "comes back" there's a level of performance about it. She's copes with work...she needs to cope with something else. I've followed her since I was a teenager. Followed her story and every recovery stint and her OD. There's a pattern. I hope she breaks it and find what works. I want the best for her. If that's "California sober" sure. Whatever idc. But if it ends in another OD I wouldn't be shocked.

Her vivitrol shot is to stop cravings for substances. I’m a fentanyl addict and I take vivitrol monthly, by shot, just like Demi. She can say it’s for bulimia or other things, but it’s for opiates. It stops cravings and prevents you from getting high by literally blocking your receptors from opiates attaching to them.

You still clean then? How long? What were you thinking when you decided to try fentanyl for the first time? Just trying to increase the high from heroin because it wasn't having the same affect as when you started? Thanks in advance

[@videoviewer8818]

@@stevereimer5514 I was sixteen when I first tried heroin. I progressed from painkillers I got from hand surgery, which was the first time I was exposed to opioids and for an extended period of time too. Knowing that feeling, I gave heroin a try. I wasn’t addicted to pain killers or anything, yet. Did heroin every now and then, but the truth is, fentanyl is cheaper and better than heroin. Heroin Addicts don’t want heroin anymore, hell some can’t even find it since fentanyl is way more prevalent. Most of the time if you do get heroin, it has fentanyl or might just be entirely fentanyl. Otherwise you get heroin in a rock or tar form. Which is way more expensive than the fentanyl we get at $5 a cap, which is .1 of a gram (1.0). I’m 20 now. I’ve had lots of relapses. It’s not easy getting clean.

@Vracanje Vjecan don’t want to be clean? You’re fucking crazy man. I want to be sober. It’s the best thing in the world. Some people get it. Just think about sitting on a park bench, cool air. Taking a deep breathe, no worries, no thinking about how I have to get dope or money. It’s insane how I managed to keep getting dope and money to support the addiction, but I was always found a way. I’m stoned off weed right and and it’s late

This is bad advice and you fucking know it.

She isnt honest . Yogurt story tells all about her.

[@elimo1521]

So basically she’s not completely “sober”. I’m not sure I’ve met anyone who is 💯 clean n sober without 💊 meds from a doctor or a glass of wine once in a while.

[@omarramonlopez]

Yep! Even in treatment CIGARETTES are ok .... ‘ 🤦‍♂️’ along with meds. ‘California sober’ is a pretty funny way to put it ...

[@josevilla8586]

I mean you can still be sober and have a beer on occasion. Doesn’t make you an addict

[@Paulkotsu]

I'm 100% sober and I'm not even religious

[@trinityizzard6821]

No, she is not sober or clean...

[@myohmymelodyy8404]

Call it what you want to call it she is in recovery. Personally I quit everything but some people use marijuana to create a stable mental health and control their triggers. It is also called harm reduction. Jessica Kent did a great video on how california sober can work and be beneficial. At the end of the day if she is working a program just be happy for her, if it doesnt work out for her she will have to change something. She is just doing what she thinks is best for herself
