soooo sweeeet... not in a sweet cheesy way, for it is raw, and heavy loaded, and prickly... but there is also this pure innocent sweetness of two humans after all the dirt of this world has been experienced back and forth... 🙏📿❤🩹
I haven’t finished the video but you guys are so honest about youre sobriety. I hear a lot of emotions in what you’re both saying. Inspite of the struggles things can not be more perfect. Your talk made my eyes water. I’m so happy for your family’s perseverance.
I love this guy His life mirrored mine in Seattle in the early 2000s. Incredibly, at the age of 40 I got clean, moved to Hawaii, started a very successful business from scratch, learned how to surf giant waves, got married to the woman of my dreams, have a beautiful 16 month old daughter and another on the way!!!!! Sometimes I can’t believe how much for fortune has come my way. Sometimes I’d like to joke around “who knew all this would happen if I just stopped shooting up every day”
I got free from 2 addictions, I heard my gangstalkers get upset,they hate I'm free, GOD made it were I can hear them.there pure evil,never wanted me free!!! I know they know my GOD JESUS CHRIST has all the power over the devil & his demons & children. THANK YOU LORD FOR SETTING ME FREE IM NEVER LEAVING YOU FATHER GOD!!! IM FREEEEEEEE!!!!!
This I've never in 40 years heard some one describe the psychosis on meth that I too experienced. Thank you so much. My illness tied my young at the time. I could even explain any of what I was going through Blessed to have come out of it. Many years have passed. You can't shoot that zhit
Hard Knocks has helped me by enlightening my understanding of what my son's struggles are all about. Thank you! I needed to hear this tonight....thank you
I guess abandonment would fall under category for hurt, but ive experienced what seemed like out of the blue rage/ outrage that I didn't expect/know was connected with buried/unrecognized/ unacknowledged feelings of/from abandonment. I didn't realize how much fuel there was for that fire.
I didn't realize I had so much unresolved energy around abandonment, the rage seemed to come out of the blue, until I connected the dots, abandonment being fuel for resentment fuel for (judging, comparing what "should be"with what is) very quick jolts of anger.
Another great sobriety share! I wonder if my son ran across any of your paths! I was always so fearful of him being on the streets of Saskatoon but Albuquerque is just as dangerous.
Yes, sometimes slaying the dragon is getting out of bed. I’ve been there IN RECOVERY at 6-7 years. You don’t know until you know. If you’re struggling please reach out!
You are responsible for your recovery but please NEVER do it alone. Ask for help! We as humans are not meant to go through things alone, that’s what friends and professionals and confidants are for. Find your people.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to share my experience strengths and hopes. Just a reminder that i am an addict in recovery and not the voice of Narcotics Anonymous as a whole!
Fought all my life too brother. My mom was adopted also and had me when she was 19. I’ve lived the chaotic life with her and she wasn’t even using drugs or alcohol regularly. That shit definitely makes us adaptable for sure and not always in the best way but it’s definitely a survival mechanism from childhood and maybe even before.
Daniel Unmanageable and Dave Martel - two of the great voices in the Canadian addiction movement having an honest conversation. I believe the only way we can move forward in Canada is by keeping politics out of healthcare. Keep up the great energy and work. #HardKnoxTalks #CSAM2024
