Theo please do an interview with Billy Carson from 4biddenknowledge please

[@tbbart6463]

Wow. Can’t even listen with Jp constantly needing to hear his own voice over Theo. I’ll find another video.

[@Gozerthegozarian1984]

This is maybe the best Jordon interview I’ve ever seen. Never seen Jordon so relaxed.

[@andrew6846]

The fact that these two worked so well together is confusing yet beautiful

[@liljmarian7327]

Big facts bro it’s lit

[@rocker99908]

I totally agree but also think that there's a lot of similarities in intelligence between philosophers and comedians

[@hb15577]

Well Theo has a long history of substance abuse, and this is basically what Peterson did his Phd about so I think they have plenty of talking points to work with.

[@greg3318]

I like to assume Theo is a deep thinker, some of his jokes have some layers so talking to someone that always tries to go even deeper might even provide more substance for his comedy. Not sure though.

If you want to become sober you can, I'm proof, and I believe in you. 🖤🤟 February 10, 2023✨️Celebrated my 3rd year of sobriety yesterday! I'm beyond grateful for everyone in my life that has been my biggest support system, and to Each and EVERYONE that has left amazing comments, yall have helped me out more than you know. I thank Theo Von and Jordan Peterson for this video, I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't listened and used it as fuel to continue my journey. 🫶🤟 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Celebrating my 4th year of sobriety. I never thought I could be a sober person, now I've proven to myself I can. I have grown through my journey, and have learned that I can love myself again. I'm proud of myself. Thank you again to everyone that has responded to my comment. Seems when I get a notification, it was when I needed a little reminder I wasn't alone, and also helping others. 🫶

Smoked weed for about a decade. Sober for 8 months felt amazing. Backstepped for a month and it was just terrible. Now back sober for about 2 months. I feel so much more like me when not under any influences! I like myself more, talk with people easier, and my highs and lows are much closer to homeostasis than before. God is so good and I hear his voice when I’m sober.

I find hidden wonders as you describe, and I was drinking almost daily for many many years.

[@i.r.weasel7042]

Been on and off with Weed for 15+ years. I sometimes wish I could use it casually. Like, I can have a drink whenever, and not fall into drinking everyday. Weed though, that really puts its hooks in me, and it ends up becoming a daily thing. Been off for a few months now. It's nice not needing a substance to "feel good", I just feel good all the time!

Do you still get those same anxieties?

[@Traforaj69]

@@loto7197 I have been sober for 3 years, and yes, sometimes I get anxiety but I have good tools to keep it under control. I use Wim Hof breathing technique and cold showers and when I do them almost daily I don't have any issues with my anxiety, but when I don't do my daily rutine for couply of days, then my anxiety pops the head up a bit, but I know how to control it.

@@Traforaj69 that's quite impressive, congrats on the 3 years :) I wonder was your anxiety present before the drug or alcohol use, and if so was it as bad ? I had mild anxiety in my teens before beginning a very social life full of drugs, alcohol friends & parties; The anxiety I experience with sobriety now in my 20's is much worse in comparison.

[@RyanONeill86]

You got this bro

[@MrScrow1]

How is it going?

[@Psilocybin77]

I once heard that most people that quit don't go to programs like AA, but quit by themselves. On average it takes 7 attempts to quit. I thought it was BS, as I was a heavy binge drinker and saw no way out. I kept trying to quit and would last a few months at most. One day I knew I was going to end up homeless or dead and decided to never touch it again. I'm not proud of who I was, but I am proud of who I am. Life will always throw reasons at you to keep drinking, but at least my suffering has value now. I accept it and learn from it. No cliches, or speeches will make you quit. It's the most important choice you have to make, and I wish you luck.

[@maldor56]

So did you quit or what?

[@buzzy5350]

After drinking nonstop for a good amount of time, and now being sober for around half a year, focusing on sports and academics, I’ll say this. I’m now much sharper, calmer, harder working, and focused. I don’t have the sad moments I used to have, and I feel self accomplished often. But, I don’t have fun or feel emotion the same way I used to. (I also smoked daily for around 8 months). Life is blander, and less exciting but your able to appreciate the small things more if that makes sense. Things are simple, and calm, yet drugs made it fast and exciting. I will always miss the phase of partying and drugs all the time, but it’s not sustainable long term. As the video said, it really is a struggle either way and your not going to be fully happy doing either. For you younglings watching, remember that drugs can give you some of the happiest and best times of your life, but they will also bring down your mental health forever, which isn’t worth it in most peoples opinions. No matter what you do, be safe, and remember to smile more, laugh more and love more.

[@kylebrewster1205]

This is why I love Peterson. He lays out the pros and cons of every situation and what will happen if you decide to keep drinking and what will happen if you go sober. It’s very point blank and bullet proof , sometimes people get to analytical with decision making , it’s refreshing to hear either your going to stay drunk and be miserable or have to deal with your anxiety and get sober. Done

[@joerichardsoilltryu8358]

Nothing like an over simplified false dichotomy

[@replexity]

@@joerichardsoilltryu8358 There’s beauty in simplicity. Sure, the factors in each drunkard’s individual life may vary and create a more complex scenario; it’s really an option of either being an alcoholic or being sober.

[@wakeupsunshine5799]

Though I don't wish to argue and I respect your right to an opinion, I can't help but add my two cents. I was a heroin(amongst other drugs) addict for 8 years. I've been sober now for 15 years. I don't know why but it was simplicity that finally got through to me. I had been to programs, incarcerated multiple times, etc so I knew everything they try to drill into you about addiction and how to stay clean but I continued to relapse anyway. Then one day someone said to me kind of dismissively, "You can keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting what you've been getting. If you want something different, you've got to start moving differently." Something about that very simple phrase hit differently. Did I quit in that moment? No, but it caused a change in my mindset which in turn caused me to start making different choices. I chose to show up to probation and outpatient services instead of making excuses and skipping out. It went from there. Anyway, sometimes simple works best... Especially when the people you're talking to don't have full clarity.

Haven’t drank in six weeks, for the first time in 5 years. It’s incredible how much my life has improved. Physically, mentally, ethically, situationally, in practically every aspect my life is better. Swapping a couple nights of the week blacking out and regretting everything I do each time for the way my life is now is so damn worth it. I don’t even wanna drink. I will say this though, my life socially isn’t as good. The weekends are tough, no one likes to do anything that isn’t getting pissed in Ireland. Especially with the weather.

[@cicada3357]

I lived with alcoholics in rehab/half way houses for the last 7 months and they all say their social life gets better with time, and like you said life in general gets better. Find a new social group (AA meetings are great for this) who enjoy doing things without getting fucked up first. In America there's a lot of "sober only" groups who go to events like football games and concerts together, created for people in recovery, maybe there's stuff like that near you too

[@wrightcodyj]

I am one year sober/clean now. I somehow managed it completely without rehab, and let me tell you: it was fucking tough. And when I spoke out to my friends about it, they suddenly vanished. It was very painful to lose my social group, but I realized months later that they were holding me back from my true potential and perhaps I didn't need them around in my new sober reality. I've never felt better, and watching this really made me think about who my friends really are. Thank you, Theo.

[@lunchandmilk2537]

Been on and off pot for around 10 years plus Its insane how little people realise how addictive marijuana can be, its a case by case basis. Not to mention most dont realise there's actually a withdrawal period, not as extreme as herion etc, but cold Turkey sober can cause feverish symptoms and irritability. Met a new girl, got off for around 6 months, I felt amazing, got a good job, was absolutely loving life, slept better, put on 30kg (I was originally around 60kgs at 5'9 and was TINY) Then life turned around and did what life does and become so turbulent that I turned back to pot, im still smoking now but so much more conscious of my decision to keep doing this, I know that the only way forward is with careful planning and a goal to reach sobriety. Just get by each day, even if you have to pull all nighters and just play cod or halo for 12 hours straight to distract yourself, get through that first few days and it all becomes so much easier. The first night always sucks.

These two together are a brilliant combination of intellect 🙏 I'm 26 years old, and I'm 13 days into my sobriety from alcohol and cannabis; best decision and first decision I have ever made that truly benefits me just as much inside (if not more) as the outside. Only the universe, your higher power (if you're lucky enough to come into contact with it), and YOU, know when it's time for change. Don't be hard on yourself if you're not there yet. Your time will come and you'll see and feel the world around you and within you for what they really are. 🙏

@Brother Jake's ReconnaissanceSorry but you're VERY wrong...twice. "but your comment implies that Dr. Peterson became addicted to drugs for the same reasons you did" No it doesn't. That's a misconception on your part. He had to have an emergency detox because of said paradoxical reaction, BUT that detox STILL amounts to the nightmare of detoxing from a substance you've become dependent on=addiction.(the coma will not omit experiencing all withdraw discomfort) YES, even people who experience an opposite reaction to that which was aimed for will experience one or both forms of dependence/addiction that makes detoxing SO hard for everyone, which is what I'm alluding to in the comment. There are different 'brands" of addiction/dependence and when paired with said reaction the fight is potentially even worse(what I'm alluding to in my comment) Paradoxical reaction DOES NOT negate the potential for dependent and experiencing withdraws. Fun-Fact: I volunteer at a methadone clinic in Halifax Nova Scotia called Direction-180. I'm also going to school for addictions counseling and will be employed there in a little longer than a year.

She mildly makes it sound as if physical and psychological dependence are mutually exclusive(at least in this case she does) when they're not, ESPECIALLY when regarding a paradoxical reaction.

When Jordan describes friends, I think of my best friend growing up who always held me to an achievable high standard. We could suffer together through things and celebrate things too. But he knew how to give me a dose of truth when I was being bitter or whatever other nonsense. These friends are such a blessing when you realize the role they've played in your life.

Thanks for your comment. Whether a habitual drinker or an addict, the realization and understanding that you are no less than anyone else is important. After my studies as a civil engineer, which I successfully completed, I rolled into drinking. Started with a glass of port and occasionally vodka. After a few years it was a bottle of vodka a day to function properly. After various therapies and withdrawal and with the help of Tranxene, I have been on the right track for years now. Alcohol is a means of escape, a poison. There's nothing more pleasant than being sober.

Mary is dead, you cannot take her into your home. Perhaps you have brought something else in... Queen Mother? What now? She is no queen, she is blessed among women, highly favored. If Jesus is the King and Mary the Queen, what does that mean? Read Jeremiah 44 and you'll find a queen of heaven mentioned. The passage is called 'Judgment for Idolatry'.
