Dax Shepard on Vices, Addiction and Getting Sober 

Felt that

Nothing good happens after midnight.

Like repeat a line from the video??? Right on retard👏🤪

@@b.johnny369 Well that's not true

Felt this too. Patterns of self sabotage… disguised as an escape

Don't let go. It is worth it, you are worth it. My DOS is 11/14/04. Get to a meeting or go to zoom meetings online. Make contact with other people that are trying to stay clean as well. One day at a time.

It gets easier. You are worth it

hows it going man?@@trentonmarshall3303

Is it 8 days now?

I've got 3 days after going 6 years sober amd relapsed with binge drinking.

He should have Moshe Kasher on that guy is so emotionally mature, smart and insightful.

@@HH-gv8mx moshe wins me over every time hes on a pod

​@@getstuk87I'll chime in my 2 cents (+25 yrs) everybody is struggling in one or more areas of their life. Sometimes it can't be seen from the outside. One of the advantages of going to 12 step meetings is you can hear about others, some with significant clean time, and the challenges and solutions they have found, in many different areas of life, spiritual, physical etc..

8 months on the 10th of April went to the hospital in western Canada to get into rehab early. Asking begging to help turned away security broke my back. My days r over never fuken use again! Lol

You go Shaggy!!!! You're a bad mofo dude 👍👍👍

@@getstuk87The brain uses drugs for a reason, and it's terrified to be off of them for that same reason. I'm sure you've experienced the crazy leaps of logic it will come up with to justify "what about just this once" a hundred times. Your question sounds like a brain terrified to face sobriety, which is super common and nothing to be ashamed of, but it's scrambling to come up with a justification on why you shouldn't try. And it decided on "maybe it's impossible, and it could never work for me, so it would be a waste of time" as its reason. But that's just fear; it's a way of delegating authority and saying "Ah, okay. It's because I'm Type F, or whatever, so it's not my fault. It's out of my control, and not my responsibility to improve". Let's say you're never 22 years sober. Let's say every three months you fall off the wagon. That's still 3 months of not using! Over a year that's still three quarters of a year you're clean! Spread out further, that's three quarters of the rest of your life that's yours. That's way better than zero! You should try, because even moderate success is worth it. Find a group to support you, try a different one if the first doesn't work for you. Trying and failing at three systems and succeeding at the fourth is still success, and you never would have found the fourth without the first three attempts. It's all part of the solution, even the failures along the way.

​@@getstuk87greatest quote ever: Whether you think you can or cant, youre right. You can do it.... fear, doubt, worry, are negative states of mind that can be overcome no matter who you are.

Yea I get that. The 24 seven access to social media, porn dating website, and the ability to just swipe left is ruining people when it comes to social connection.

Aw. Where my homies at 😔🤍✨

​@@b.johnny369here

Have you thought about getting addicted to something? 😂

Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

Hey! Yes Dr.benfungi

How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta

I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction? Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,

Whether you believe it or not, God did it. AA famously borrows biblical principles

@@ericmcdonough6771hater in the house

​@@ericmcdonough6771truth

Doesn’t matter, they will relapse extremely soon. You have to want to stay sober

​@@BroDude0 no one truly wants to be sober. If any addict could trade addiction to be able to recreationally use drugs they would.

true, besides being really funny Theo is great for that

If only he were funny too

is porn an addiction per say. i mean is masterbating before bed an addiction no most would say its healthy . yet if your single do you all think its healthier to think about past ex periences? cos guys dont imagine things like women

@@aarondavid5866porn can be an addiction. If you’re spending all day thinking about when you’re gonna watch porn and what porn you’re going to watch, you’re addicted. It also can ruin sex in a relationship because sex becomes more of a performance and you want to recreate what you see in porn. I quit 3 years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done

Does he ever date anybody? Or is he just addicted to porn?

Fr man

Congrats on your sobriety. You said tits.

I still remember when my friend's fiancè got pissed at me for smoking him up. I told her I'm not his keeper and he can make his own decisions, lol. Now they grow pot together in their house hahaha. Can't make it up

Stay on that road to sober.Your life is gonna be so so much better,that’s a fact! All the best wishes in the world from New Zealand.😎

Read the book How to do the work pls.

Keep goin 👊

Hell yeah dude! It is so worth it.

Keep in mind, its the first few days that tough but you only have to think about TODAY!

AA is not for everyone. Glad it works for you, but it doesn't work for a lot of people. Internal vs external locust of control

Locus, maybe ur doing voice to text?

unless youre religious AA pretty much is a joke cause #1 is to give yourself over to higher power they told me to pray to my coffee cup if nothing else..... like who the fck says shit like that.. AA thats who

Bill Wilson saved my life

​@@lisao6928 what worked for you out of curiosity?

that is a fact, i have heard some CRAZY shit in the rooms and no one is shocked lol

Traditions

I've never been, but I thought that was kind of the point.

Facts 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂​@@AsJimSeesIt-ox1sk

@@Largetalons It is, but man I’m talking awful shit and no one is remotely shocked. The hand of AA is always there…doesn’t matter what anyone has done. 👍

Ya nothing wrong with that. I’ve learned that I have to let my addictive side out otherwise I’m back on the o’s and the b’s in no time. I don’t have another OD in me so I’ll just keep playing video games lol.

We are all addicted to something.

@@boofingenthusiast Much safer! lol

What a foolish comment.

I went from snorting coke and drinking like a fish to running and paddling my canoe. Have to feed the beast somehow.

It really is lol I remember seeing it in the theaters

What is it an icon for? A low rent comedy that was just on comedy central in the background as you were doing laundry?

@@masterofallgoons u wouldn't know art if it slapped u in the face

@@Comedycom42069 - if that movie is your metric of art then you've probably been slapped in the face too many times... but that's beside the point anyway'

@@masterofallgoonsyou’re what’s wrong with RU-vid. Chill out and let people have their opinions. It’s a fucking movie, dude.

That’s what sucks the most. Today I was jonesing hard… so I made some food, sat down to eat and stumbled across this video. Theo could help a lot of people if he brought on sober addicts atleast once a month

@@Notchworld I always try to get to a fantasy video game and try to just disappear in it for a while. Works best for me. Thank God for video games.

Keep pushing .I promise it gets better ❤

I just went through a bad breakup and I got 5 years sober off alcohol and 6 years clean of drugs I got a badass mountain bike and I'm huge in the mountain biking I do 20 mi a day but it gets better man it gets easier 8 days before past Christmas was when my ex up and left😢😢❤❤❤

Being on nicotine is not sober

@@EvadingmotoOh hush, it’s harm reduction and not nearly as destructive as alcohol, cocaine, etc. The reason people refuse to get sober is because of behaviors like yours.

@@burstingturtle I agree

both replies are honest.@@burstingturtle

I put nicotine on the same level as caffeine. Maybe not for everyone, but for me it was. What made nicotine so harmful was the fact that the tobacco industry mixed it with carcinogens. In vape form its much less harmful.

Guys talking about whacking to porn…ya extremely profound… give your head a shake mate

Sugar withdrawal is no joke! I’ve been there. Keep on trying it gets better.

Same. Sugar addiction and caffeine. I myself couldn’t go a day without sweet tea or cola. I only remember just feeling irritated or feeling like I’m missing something when I didn’t make a gallon of sweet tea. I was tricking myself by thinking in my head, I’m not putting tons of sugar, so I’m doing good👍🏼. Except I’m drinking sugar in high amounts regardless daily. I started sweet tea to stop my cola addiction. But ya basically just substituting one sugar addiction for another.

Don’t try opioids or benzos😂

Try putting sugar in a baggie and medical tape to your body, I’ve heard that works…also if you up your fats in your diet, may help.

Same here

TRT IS KING

Just be quiet

And heavy amounts of adderall

I ain't hating. I'm 40 now and I take it. Fuck it. I'm not a competition lifter I'm not a fitness influencer. I'm an old man thats earned a shortcut at this point. Trt it up fuck it.

​@@MickeyKearney-bj7bcNothing wrong with TRT.... Keep those levels up.

You don’t even know him bro. Relax

🎶 My mind is tellin me no, but my boooodday..'

I love that movie! It's not the greatest flick. But one you can watch over and over

From androgen use my guy

@@Kgsoloman-ou6wm who gives a f***, he's almost a 50 year old man

Damn now I know why my old supervisor in the AF had a red nexk

@@EncrypticMethodsyou’re talking to someone who has also used steroids. Im just stating the cause, not hating, little man.

@@Kgsoloman-ou6wm you trying to talk down on everyone doesnt make you "big" little bro

Don’t ever think there’s a reason outside of yourself for your recovery- it’s all you and God (who is always with you, inside)❤ you got this!🎉
