When you ask for prayer I choked up. My husband is an addict for real and he has been tapering from methadone and its getting down to less than a year and he will be facing reality for the first time since his teens. It is terrifying to see addiction go up and down. We quit everything else in the past 3 years except his chew and my coffee. Doing great now for heathens, but its such a struggle to be good. I used my share of party favors. 30 years smoking pot finally stopped, our mouths are still gutters, and we too are Christians. Embarrassing. This world is a trap and only one way out. We think we are so clever but we just shit it all up when we don't listen. Lord help us all, in Jesus name. Amen.

I pray kratom is legal where you all live! Methadone is tough and has a half life. I literally switched to an old pain med then placed myself in rehab. Hardest thing I have ever done. Well worth it. After off the opiates doc placed me on naltrextone due to my natural opiate receptors going crazy.. Felt better almost instantly. Stayed on it for about a month while I kept cardio going and praying. Going on 14 years in recovery and did not get away from God. Pray Hes close and brings you all peace.. He keeps it up with your support and God's faith he will eventually have his worst day that will still be better than his best day now. If that makes since. I pray God's continence is shining down and grants you all new mercies and miracles. God bless 🙌 🙏 🕊

Your honesty is humbling to me Gabe. I really admire that about you. I totally understand what you’re going through. I also believe in God and like you, I want nothing more than to live by his commandments, but I fall victim to the flesh too darn much! I am a work in progress and God knows that. He knows my heart is true, that I believe and if keep moving forward, I’ll get there someday. Take all the time you need bud! Seriously. I definitely have been praying for you Gabe, but I had faith. I also did the whole KZbin thing for a long time and understand how accountable we feel to our subscribers. It’s no joke when we say we love our subscribers. I felt the same way when I was struggling man. I did feel like I should be “motivating” others when I was in a dark pit of despair. It’s good that you got on and let us know that your ok, health and alive at least. A step in the right direction! Quitting weed is a lot harder than people think. I’m 41 and have smoked since 16, maybe younger. Live in Maine so grow my own outdoors. So now it’s even harder to quit, when it’s free and I ALWAYS have pounds of it around! 😂 I have found in my “older” years that it makes me super anxious now though if I smoke during the day, so I toke only at night and AFTER work! 😂 2 weeks on 50mg of Zoloft though and it no longer makes me anxious. It’s like how it used to make me feel, just chill. Weird… Zoloft is working for me. I feel you and I have a crap load in common. Maybe give a SSRI a go? I never believed in them, but I definitely do now! God bless bro! I’ll be praying for you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I feel you. The further I get from God, the more I seek out crap to fill that void. I think I have come to the realization that life is beautiful, but happiness can never be fully achievable. We have these points of happiness and it’s mostly good, but if we were always fully happy, why would we ever seek out anything beyond this world. We need a little unhappiness to realize we are mere mortals. I think boredom and depression are what drive us to fill voids. So, what we could do, is go into deep meditation and prayer during these times, but instead we often as you said, quiet that voice and then take in some type of alternative to fill that void.

I watched this again just because I've missed your videos so much, my original comment was basically saying I was happy you were back. Now, after rewatching I wanted to commend you on being so honest and willing to put yourself out there for us to see. You crack on yourself about the things you are doing that you aren't proud of, but As I read through the comments I see how many people you've helped, including me although I have since relapsed, I know you stopped doing videos for a year or so but Gabe your videos (all of them) have helped so many people and they will continue to as long as they are available. You may feel as though you've moved away from God but I feel like you do "God's work" just by being vulnerable for all of us. I'm like you in the sense I "want" to quit opiates (I know I'm comparing apples to oranges since you are off opiates and are talking about weed) in my heart of hearts I do. But, I've come to find life and my emotions are hard to deal with sober. After 6 months I still didn't feel "right", still couldn't sleep and anything emotional threw me for a loop. I had a friend OD and my mother had been sick awhile and passed away and I've come to find I needed to be on opiates to deal with the onslaught of sadness I felt. Its messed up when you think about it. Sorry I didn't mean to ramble I just wanted to tell you I don't think the things you are doing are horrible by comparison but also don't put yourself down so much. You help people just by getting on here and being YOU!

If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be where I am right now. I started making videos just like you but I no longer do (not sure if you remember me? AD /Ashley). Anyways, you truly changed my life and my kids. I have been clean (lost count) but years! Literally completely using your videos as inspiration! I am now almost done with school (bachelors in psychology) I finally had the baby (after many losses) not sure if you remember from my videos. He is now one years old! Promotion at work! Bought our own home. Anyways you truly changed my family and I’s life. I thought the same way you were thinking right now but you told me to just keep going and don’t give up and that’s what I did. I will never forget what I was but I’m now discovering a whole new me… but yea you had a huge part to play in it. I guess I just want to say thank you. I thank you, my kids thank you, and my family thanks you ❤

My only vice right now is the low dose suboxone that I tapered down to and caffeine /nicotine. I have a ON nicotine pouch in my lip from the time I wake up til I go to sleep and I drink a red bull a day. I take 1-2 mg of suboxone a day. I think I'm just going to stay at that level because it helps me for now. I do feel guilty tho when I go to aa meetings. I haven't used heroin in 9 months but I still don't consider myself sober. It sucks. I feel ya bro. I occasionally would dabble with adderal and xanax back in the day. That state of always chasing dopamine and euphoria is hard to break out of. It becomes a hard habit to stop obviously. I wish the best for you bro. God bless

Gabe ! Prayers brother ❤❤❤ about to jump off subs at .25 ! Im excited for the journey. Can i ask you a question ... when you were on suboxone, did you still have the urge to go other stuff like adderall, riddlin, kratom, weed ? Just curious, does the "addict" brain come back full force after sub detox ?

Good to hear from you Gabe. Think we’re kind of in a similar situation at this point. I openly and purposefully used weed to cope and get off kratom and phenibut. Phenibut I’ve been off over a year, kratom since March. Getting sleep is really the big thing for me cause Im a working dad too and the weed helps me relax and drift off at the end of the day but I don’t want to rely on it. Im trying not to stress too much right now because Im definitely still feeling waves of PAWS come and go which includes real difficult falling asleep but I just focus on the progress I’ve made. Hope you feel the same. God bless brother.

We all fall short. My life really is so similar to yours. This is just a question. Has God filled you with the Holy Ghost? Trust me you'll remember that exact time, day, and year when that happens. Better than any drug I ever did. Natural high. But I ask cause sometimes we try things in our own strength and yeah God is still there but it's nothing compared holy spirit filling you. You need deliverance. I had spirit of addiction in me and it kept me in that revolving door. Man your called to be great in this world cause you truly have heart for people struggling. Look up ministries near you that are non denominational. Or visit the church and just see if you feel God in it. Usually you can tell by the worship. Ask if they do deliverance and tell them you just wanna be closer to Jesus. If you've never had deliverance go get it. It will change your life. Stay blessed and ill be praying for you.

Stuck on kratom currently, youre kind of where i was at before. I have to say with the weed I feel you but also if its just at night like you say...try edibles or cbd or something to bridge you. I dont want to tell you "its not that bad" but me, once i get sober i would take 0 issue with smoking weed once or twice a day. Nothing keeps me mentally stable and proactive in recovery when im not allowed to smoke or on maintenance, and i dont want maintenance Also you may have been physically addicted to the gabs and benzos by now. Every time you relapse the withdrawals will get worse, gaba drugs do that 4 some reason

Great to hear from you man. Your videos really helped me and still do. Please be careful out their bro! I think your videos are way under viewed. God bless you. P.S. I can totally relate to feeling like your slipping away from God (temporarily). But the devil uses that to force us into self deprecation and it’s a downhill spiral. Just focus on getting back into the spirit and remember Gods patience is beyond our comprehension. Your/were forgiven, now let’s get back on track! I will pray for you.

@@gabemccall3523 I had a feeling. I’m very interested in that path as well. The spiritual path of meditation combined with psychedelics, retreats, etc. I’ve had small spiral awakenings and glimpses of what’s possible, even through maintaining a meditation habit for a months. It’s amazing what’s possible with the mind and neuroplasticity. There’s an element of connecting to God through those as well, regardless of what beliefs people hold. I’m excited to hear about your journey, keep me updated! I’ll be following a similar path.

You should look into supplements, I'm going to be getting off kratom soon and I'm gonna try the vitamin c trick, and I have a few other supplements. Haven't tried them yet, the gabapentin is addicting and I guess is a tranq and calms the nervous system. I bought some liposomal GABA with L-theanine and a magnesium complex. It's supposed to sooth the nervous system.
