I had a few "stints" of sobriety before I'd fall back in(nothing close to 9 months, amazing job!), but just couldn't keep it going. Biggest help for me was telling myself "I don't have to be sober forever, just today." Strung a lot of those together for maximum effect lol.

[@thewhitekirby3973]

Isn't it a blessing that these two men are alive, sharing their stories, making us laugh rather than one of them or both of them losing to their addiction, dying, making us cry? Anyone that has an addiction, think about that. Make those around you smile when they think about you. You can get help, you are all you need.

this is a dangerous thing to say because many people dont ask for help as they are afraid they would be a burden or annoying with their troubles

Man, that whole dialogue at 5:14 just hit the last year of my life on the head. This is what I love about Theo, he's not afraid to wander off the trail and into the tall grasses just to see what's out there. Sometimes he comes back with something really profound. I got really self-destructive and fearful cuz after working way too hard for 4 years I finally got the solitude I had craved for so long and I just ended up flushing months of my life and money down the toilet, then cascading down this whirlpool of self-hatred. I don't know that "weak" is the word I'd use but it definitely makes you feel like you're irreparably broken when the conditions are perfect and you just can't engage at all. It's like waking up on a beautiful day and discovering you've gone blind.

'its like waking up on a beautiful day and discovering you've gone blind' is a great analogy, i feel this for sure

I started drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder.

This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany.

I love shrooms. Congrats on the 8 years, that's awesome! I'm clean 4 years now. Good luck.just micro dose and you won't trip. Same story just that mine is with fentanyl and anxiety. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without the help of psilocybin.

[@EthanEdward-wx7ut]

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

You would think it's the opposite - that drug users love talking about doing drugs, and that the prudeish or recovering people would keep quiet about it. No, it's important to talk about it. Those connections in our brain between drug addiction and recovery aren't formed out of nothing - most of the time, it takes socialized commitment to a cause to improve yourself, and to do that, it takes understanding how far you fell.

Theo talking about miserable nights trying to fall asleep is relatable af. Have 7 years clean now, but during my brief stint in FL (over a decade ago) I had constant access to blow, very inconsistent access to the Sackler family’s magnum opus (OC). Can’t tell you how many nights I legitimately contemplated jumping in front of an 18 wheeler. Unfortunately, I learned the wrong lesson from these experiences; I built my network up so I’d never have one and not the other, and always had an emergency bottle of Crystal Palace vodka in case I couldn’t get what I needed. Bad times.

Make a plan to get off it if you think it is. Dont go into it thinking your quitting and slowly drop the amount you smoke, however long it takes whatever works for you. As you start to build more motivation, take on the things your struggling with, youll think clearer. The final step is when you feel better again to take time to asess your relationship with weed.
