[@KatelynIngle]

The most “real” addiction dr I’ve ever seen. Thank you for caring bout people! You are a wonderful person Dr. B!

[@LIttleMissNightmare]

I really wish every doctor took addiction as seriously as you do with so much knowledge and actually cares. Amazing dr 🙏💖

[@dianebays5484]

I really like your attitude toward addiction. A relapse doesn't mean you've ruined it all. Just go from there, in my opinion.

[@lazzy2012]

Remember guys, everyday you’re clean when you stop is a day further away from addiction and a day closer to freedom… I am a few days off tramadol cold turkey and there’s been moments of hell, but as the hours go by I feel better and better. Regardless of a treatment or just stopping, as each day goes by you’re closer to victory.

This video moved me to tears especially the part when Joe needs to be reminded that he is not an “addict” but still Joe who is just struggling with the disease of addiction! I wish I always found such loving and right words with the person I love and who is struggling too 💔 If only everybody could listen to this, educate him/herself and find love, compassion and empathy towards people who are struggling in that way and not putting the blame and a negative label on them 💔

I agree with comment about counting the days like they are the end of the world if you skip. I was a friend of Bull W and at the end of EVERY meeting they say “Keep Coming Back” yet the minute there’s a slip, they lose their sponsor, some are so afraid to go and admit what they’ve done and commit suicide or stay out and use.

[@darryl5372]

Well said. Guilt is a heavy weight.

[@jenniferkiselewski7883]

I have been sober for years but my family still treats me horrible will I ever be good enough for them to speak to me. I have worked hard on my sobriety and this hurts.

[@joerobbins6318]

Addition to me is a constant need to alter an individuals state of consciousness. Ive lost 3 brothers to this horrible affliction my last brother committed suicide as a direct result to his addiction

[@piercedxangel]

Back story: I'm a recovering heroin addict (21 years clean) & a methadone addict (3 years clean). The methadone was absolute hell to get off of, but I did it. Fast forward to June of 2021. I broke my back (I'm positive that the years of methadone use made my bones brittle & caused numerous health issues) and ended up with degenerative disc disease as well. The doctors placed me on oxycodone for the chronic & severe pain, which I was hesitant to do but I needed relief so I could live my life. Last month, I had both physical & mental issues to the point I overdid it and ran out early. I'm currently on day 10 of withdrawal, seems like the worst is over, except the insomnia & anxiety which are a royal pain. I will be back on the medication as I am in excruciating pain & honestly need them just so I can get out of bed next week. My question is: is it relapsing & once I have the necessary surgery, will it be hard to get off it once & for all? I've been using more than not for over half of my life & honestly, I'm just tired of it all.

[@theresamarsh9767]

Unbelievable how great of a doctor you are and how truly informed and passionate you are

[@j.r.chapman9468]

Jennifer - although my family will speak to me, they still stay at an arms length. I’ve been sober for 4 years and they seem to be constantly watching me and judging me. Recently my sister ans I were on a road trip. We were both in the back seat and I kept falling asleep. She asked me when I started using again. So insulting!

[@scarlettfreedom3629]

4 days clean after my 1000 relapse. I don't wanna die from an overdose. I am detoxing, painful, but that coffin existence is scary and I'm trying now to heal. I need to treat the disease, still need to find what will help me deal with this disease, I also have colitis and pain in my body

[@charlessoukup1111]

You mention age factor but no specifics, I am 76, started opioids for severe (diagnosed) arthritic pain.

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Play at 1.25x speed. You’re welcome.

[@skutterswife6196]

This is an excellent perspective. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is rare, unfortunately, to see a medical doctor with a compassionate and informed perspective.

[@moswiney2737]

The negative feedback loop is such a great point to make. And, it’s really true of not only drugs but weight loss and so many other things. But I think it’s especially important for the substance abuse user to be aware of it and how it cycles them back into the downward spiral of addiction. You should write a book👌

[@gabriellelicastri5615]

You are a rare one Dr. B with how educated you are when it comes to addiction. I wish you were my doctor when I was on subs. Your patients are very lucky to have such an understanding and empathetic doc for their treatment. Wish there were more like you out there! 💫
