Ulysses Leal He was a former addict so he knows what he's talking about. Not that you have to have been an addict to be at his level of expertise but i think it adds a greater perspective on the subject

hes a good dude

I hope you are doing well and fighting the good fight. I'm not sure if this is true when combating any substance but I found it, hard to Decide to fight, and harder yet to stay well. Withdrawal is beyond hell but the day to day struggle After that is even harder. Is it worth the fight then? Absolutely!✌👊

Ricky Ortiz Hell yes. It's insane.

You always know what you are doing is killing yourself. This is where the hard wired habit comes in. People are physically addicted to these substances and need to get to a safe harbor where they can detox and get psychological care. Also people know what harm they have done to their families and loved ones and cannot deal with the emotional pain and so they “medicate themselves”. People are addicted because of some other issue in their lives, whether it is psychological, mental or emotional. This moron above believes addiction is a “disease” which is 100 percent FALSE. He foolishly believes in the AA model and lifelong “recovery”. Lots and lots of bullshit and people die because of that bullshit. Ronald McDonald Bob needs to go back being an addict, he kills less people and leads less gullible people astray.

Yes it does suck

Wow never heard it put that way

@@kokokat584The very word “addict” literally means not in control. “Dict” as in “dictation,” knowing, controlling, being sure of. PRE-dict means being sure of or control of the future. A- means opposite of. A-DICT means opposite of being in control.

None of those things will help you quit, you need to be absolutely done with using before you stop. That’s a mirage that we make to give us a reason to not stop. I shot heroin and meth for years so I understand what you mean and that stuff does really suck. All I had to do to see my kids is pass a few drug tests in row but I couldn’t do it so I couldn’t see them for 2 and a half years. But when you really want to stop you will, to bad it’s after something happens in your life that catastrophic. For me I had a psychotic break from meth for a week where I saw things that weren’t there and other horrible things. It took year of being sober just to realize there was nobody following me wanting to kill me. I’ve never touched a drug since then and have had zero cravings. I still physically shudder when I hear things about using drugs. Im not saying that stuff has happen to quit, you just have to be done.

@@td315 I never did drugs but I use lorazepam for anxiety and I am a bit addicted to it the question is why I started it and the reason to me is anxiety fear that came from my dysfunctional family I mean my parents it was a real hell growing up in such an environment not to mention bullying at school because I was always in fear.

@@kokomanation I’ve had multiple family issues but too but you never really know how bad someone else has it because you haven’t walked in their shoes. But that anxiety medication is no joke, I was into those for short period of time and they are no fun coming off of. But if your taking close to how there prescribed you will be alright. That’s a foreign language to me because any additive pill I got it was a race to the bottom pill bottle. I want to say i misread your comment and I’m pretty sure most of everything I said didn’t apply to you so I’m sorry I misspoke.

@@td315 I prefer benzodiazepines from psychiatric drugs because they really destroy the brain and the nervous system

@@td315 I think family issues is at the core of most subsequent problems.

Kevin Hawley He definitely does. He was underrated on Celebrity Rehab

Perhaps it has less to do with subjective attractiveness of one's physyical being and more about how the beauty of your inner being can become more visible than your shell.✌

Don't. A shit life is easy to remedy. A drug addiction is next to impossible to overcome.

how did u do that? any tips?

how did u do that? any tips?

avoiding mental illness is a lottery, not an achievement

@Anderson Cooper is that on you tube?

Yep

No....Navarro

LOL 😂

None. He is a bullshit artist who teaches addicts that they have an incurable “disease” and “once an addict always an addict” nonsense.

Dude is a licensed chemical dependency counselor in California. Combined with life experience would be a nice mix of information and various theories maybe? Listen to the 'Dont Die' podcast if checking his credentials or motive: we have an epidemic of huge proportion in this country and some folks in healthcare devote their entire life to helping the suffering drug addicts. Grow up knuckle dragger

Grow up knuckle dragger? That’s real mature. I have learned that if someone opposes someone and has to resort to insults, they have nothing to say, you disagree but cannot give me an intelligent reasoning and have to go to calling names. “Bob” only knows what the current addiction model is and the current model doesn’t work for the vast majority of people. Calling it a “disease” is absolutely wrong. Saying stupid shit like “a belly full of beer and a head full of AA”, I mean really? People who are addicted do not have a disease. That’s moronic. People who are addicted have a psychological problem which can be helped by psychology and sometimes other medications to level out and improve mood. Opiates are ADDICTIVE. Not all people who have to do them for medical reasons become addicted but many people do. It’s not a “disease” it is just these medications are addicting. Duh. This guy thinks that some people have a genetic disease and some people are born addicts. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I know where I come from because I went to “treatment” and was part of the so called “recovery community”. Well, I got tired of being in “recovery”. I want to RECOVER. I don’t want to go to meetings the rest of my life and call myself a drug addict and alcoholic. I nearly killed myself bu thinking I had a “disease” which does nothing except to give the user a license to use. Forget “spirituality” and a “Higher Power”, instead of real psychiatric and psychological help which people need. Bob is a Ronald McDonald clown!

@@leonandrews7180 I'm a little late to the party and I do apologize for the knuckle dragger comment but my statement had a lot of valid information in it as did yours. so we disagree....all good. Comment sections are dangerous for me still but I certainly make it worse by hurling insults and the like

@@leonandrews7180 also I have to encourage you to maybe listen to his podcast or even some of the more streamlined clinical type talks and podcasts that he does with Dr Drew because psychological help is mentioned quite a bit and it's okay for someone in his profession to not believe it's a disease or to you know use old fashioned type terms etc he's probably just become a talking head in some kind of way being called in every time something happens with a celebrity on drugs you know he doesn't seem like your typical me me put me on camera celebrity in my opinion so I guess I like the guy don't know why I came back to comment more but if I read in between a little bit calling him a clown and all the exclamation points like I don't know I don't know him at all but maybe you have your reasons for being that upset it's a strange field it's got a long way to go and he's not the entire face of it so I'm sure I seem crazy but anyways take care

It's mostly self-medication of mental and physical illness
