Joey Diaz Discusses Cocaine Addiction - Joe Rogan

Alex Adams that line can be applied to anything even sex. I’ve always said that I’m addicted to everything that’s why I can’t stay addicted to just one thing. Money, pride, and sex are my top three which makes it difficult to stay addicted to coke, weed, alcohol etc.

The best way to quit cocaine is to stop drinking alcohol period I used to do coke every weekend then it became an everyday habit once I stopped drinking alcohol I stopped doing coke and so far I’ve been 11 months clean from coke I still don’t drink alcohol I’m afraid that if I get drunk my first instinct is to call my dealer (alcohol is the gateway drug and it makes you do dumb decisions like I did)😔

[@paulthake7963]

That was the reason I had my first relapse.....thought I could have a few beers. The problem is we're not addicted to whatever substance, we're addicted to the serotonin, dopamine etc our brains release when we do our drug of choice. Drinking keeps addiction alive. That's also why the "marijuana maintenance" program doesn't work

You know, listening to Joey talk about how he beat his cocaine addiction is really fascinating from a behavioral analysis perspective. He kind of accidentally stumbled upon a principle called behavioral extinction. Basically, you remove yourself from a novel environment (he went to bed before 8pm) which is typically associated with the addiction and simultaneously create distractions to fill in the gaps. It's a textbook case of how to beat addiction. When I say textbook, I mean textbook. They teach this stuff in college level BA classes.

Little did I know that I would overcome that hurdle and adjust for the better to seek greater beginnings.

@Paul, Why would he lie about it? Honestly, Cocaine is another type of perception people can have over you if everyone found out you did it. If he were to come out and say he's tried it, that will draw a certain type of attention to him not to mention he's denied it plenty of times so admitting it now would be putting out another fire he wouldn't want to. The perception of him doing coke and lying about it comes from the way he describes certain things about coke in passing. Things only coke heads would know or have experienced. If he says he hasn't done it, i'll believe him but I don't put nothing past anyone nor will I be surprised if he ever comes out and says hes tried it once or 100 times.

[@someguy9471]

I did cocaine for 12 years off and on. Never got physically addicted to it but I will say that the psychological addiction to it was quite powerful. Driving to go get it is indeed the best part of it. The excitement you feel when your plug comes through and calls you to let you know he’s got it, speeding through every red light, rolling through every stop sign. Then when you finally open the bag or the paper fold the cocaine is in the smell of it hits your nose and the exhilaration heightens even more. Then your first line hits and it is all downhill from there. The high is powerful but the comedown is miserable, it far outweighs the high especially as time goes on. That’s basically what caused me to quit it. That and numerous instances where it felt like my heart would give out at any minute. It starts off as the best drug you’ve ever done and quickly becomes the worst drug you have ever done. Incredibly flawed substance.

In my life I had to quit numerous drug addictions including coke. Coke wasn't that hard, I went broke. Poverty is a great motivator. Vicodin, was another story. Very painful withdrawal.

[@chozzzen1]

Last year around this time I decided to quit the addiction. I was super depressed and just going through a really tough time cocaine gave me that happy good feeling I was desperately dying for. Little did I know it was probably one of the worst decisions of my life!!! I had done coke before and used it for work the gym and everyday function and it was just fun but was never dependent on it. This time it was different I was using it to self medicate my pain and create this great feeling that life was not handing me in my time of struggle so coke was a great temporary comfort. Woah woah woah but once it got a hold on me there was nothing else I wanted besides it ... goals family friends food hygiene and everything else disappeared it brought out the worst in me days without sleep horrible nights full of paranoia voices and seeing and hearing things that's weren't there and unspeakable acts of my doped up brain . I would do it only at night and would go in until the birds would chirp then it turn from night to morning to afternoon to all day long. When it was finished I would spend hour looking for crumbs I might have dropped and just have a uncontrollable urge to get more . Ugh what a horrible thing cocaine can be I lost my physic that I had been working on for months I lost hard earned money I lost relationships and over all self respect. I became a zombie like human whos survival instinct were taking over and just this horrible human being, In only 5 months of use. Thank God he pulled me out, the road to sobriety it tough and I relapsed multiple times before making any true progress but I kept fighting trying not look back because if it did that to me in 5 months imagine years of addiction. To anyone trying to quit their addiction to narcotics weather it's downers or uppers just know your not alone. We recovering addicts are with you but most important of all God is with you and he will never abandon you, even if everyone else has abandoned you and looks at u like a worthless human being we aren't our mistakes. So if anyone sees this video looking for ways to quit like how I was when I first considered quitting you are strong you are powerful you are worth everything and more, most of all your worthy of living a better life. Though u might try relapse , try relapse and u keep falling time after Time after Time keeps trying keep fighting and keep being strong . There was a time when I thought I would never be sober yet a year later after many stumbles I am still here healthier happier, still fighting and still breathing. Being a better me and not the me that I was in those awful times so I pray you persevere and overcome anything life throws.. you got this and you will beat it Amen 🙏

@@Lbozo23691 it gets better man, don’t be afraid to feel bad or being depressed. If you’re done, then you’re done, it’s behind you and be ready to feel like shit. Eventually it will start to fade away and you will be better, do stuff that makes you feel good and productive, think about your future, loving and making your family and mother proud. Don’t surround yourself with friends that do it, find some real people that care about you and if there’s no one there for you you gotta be there for yourself. If you want be successful there’s no space for these kind of stuff.

how does the high on cocaine feel

[@toneabet6252]

I've been addicted to many drugs but weed was the hardest to quit

[@88dalebuck]

I used to party with that shit all the time, for a good few years of my life, not addicted but used it when I was out at the bars etc, always ended up back at someone’s kitchen being bookey as fuck peering out of windows. It’s surrounded by absolute losers and I’m so glad I got away from it. At the time I thought I was having the time of my life but looking back they were the worse years of my life. Trust me and stay the fuck away from that drug, I promise you it’ll ruin your life

[@alasdairmackintosh]

I really felt what Joe said about psychological addiction. I haven't ever done hard drugs. I live in Canada, weed is legal now. I started smoking weed in like 2011 when my buddy asked me if I wanted to try it. I was in 9th grade. Good times, we smoked lots of waterfalls. We'd make them with a cheap $2.00 flower vase and a smart water bottle. Put a socket through the cap as the bowl and pop holes in the bottom of the bottle. I started smoking a lot more, I realized I could always quit cold Turkey and take breaks from weed. But whenever things have gotten tough for me like with the passing of my father, I feel a need to dissociate, and I've been hitting the pipe pretty hard lately. I know weed is okay obviously I feel bad that I try to numb myself. I know its human but I feel like I have disappointed him. He came from the 60s era of weed when everything was laced, he was always frightened that I'd get spiked with something. Things are really hard right now but I wanna shout out to all of you wherever you are in the world and if you're going through something similar to remember that we can always make it. You deserve happiness and for the legacy of your loved ones you owe it to them to try and live a happy life.

'weed is okay obviously' - is it that obvious that taking drugs is okay?

@@mateuszmazurek7991 I think they just mean it’s not likely you’ll OD on it.. as opposed to opioids or cocaine.

[@Guccimustard]

did coke every day from when i was 21 till i was 27. At 19 i sold my startup company for a large amount of money and basically had nothing left to do with my life . I was always withdrawn and had never even tried weed until i met my girlfriend who later introduced me to the party life and naturally with that came coke. A person who doesn't have alot of confidence plus money to burn is a real shitstorm. Literally almost snorted myself to death when i OD'ed in 2017. Yeah the drugs made me feel good and i have to be honest, i did have alot of fun but i really regret doing it. completely destroyed my body and mind with it and i'm still feeling the aftershock after 6 years of being sober. I really wanna impress on people to not even try it once, its too good for human consumption. I know its wrong but if coke turned out to actually be good for your health, id immediately go back to snorting it. It literally almost destroyed me and i still crave it sometimes. Thats how deep the addiction runs.

What gets me is , I don’t touch it for years. Out of the blue I swear I can smell it. Yous guys know what I mean. Then the next 2 weeks my brain playing games w me about 5 x a day! I just carry on.

@@theknowing6951 completely destroyed my nose, heart is completely wacked out, i have a tick i didnt have before, kidneys are shot and weighed about 150 pounds when i quit. Yeah, it definitely does more damage physically than you think.

[@theknowing6951]

@@Guccimustard Ah, that’s tough to deal with; I’m sorry you’re going through that. I totally understand as a former user. I was abusing it for a whole year, sometimes where it would be completely full days of usage. Even after being sober for over a year, I still get the occasional random rapid heart rate out of the nowhere just because of how much damage I did. Cocaine addiction is dangerous.
