This is Part 1 of a two-part interview with Russell Brand. Try Russell's online course on recovery for free at www.onecommune.com/recovery
Very few of us are free from some form of addiction - alcohol, sugar, sleeping pills, sex, Instagram, co-dependent relationships, the list goes on. Russell points out that all our addictions stem from a common problem: spiritual disconnection. But when we admit we have a problem, believe in real change, accept help from others, and hand over our will and control to a higher power, we can begin to find freedom from our addictions.
To hear more from Russell, sign up for his upcoming Recovery course on Commune (onecommune.com/recovery) or check out his Luminary podcast, Under the Skin (luminary.link/russell @hearluminary).
ABOUT RUSSELL
Russell Brand is an award-winning comedian, actor, author, public thought leader and a passionate activist for mental health and drug rehabilitation. He is one of the most recognizable and best-loved comedy performers in the world, with a series of sold-out tours, best-selling DVDs, and a number of major film roles to his name. He is also the author of seven books, including Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, and Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped.
ABOUT JEFF
I have had a lot of jobs: co-founder & CEO of Commune and, co-founder and co-CEO of Wanderlust, board member at Pure Edge. I have authored books, built a wellness studio, developed a retreat center, and created video platforms. Oprah even selected me to be part of the SuperSoul 100, a group of top entrepreneurs.
But aside from being a dad to three daughters, there is no job more humbling than hosting the Commune podcast. Every week, I interview people with esoteric expertise who are 10 times smarter than me. My nightstand has turned into a tower of books as I prepare for these interviews, learning everything from the neuro-chemistry of the brain to the inner workings of our justice system. It’s been an incredible challenge to deliver transformational content every Tuesday (and not embarrass myself). I hope you enjoy it!

I started smoking 18 years ago as a teenage, Got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

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.

My daughter at the age of 23 told me she was addicted to meth. I said ok, how often do you do meth? She just said 'I need rehab" Within 24 hours she was in one of the best rehab facilities in Virginia . Thank you Jesus for good insurance. Out of 16 residents, she was the only one for drug addiction.. The rest were ETOH. She took it seriously. It was Christmas time and she had me bring yarn and taught everyone to make hats on those crazy round things. I brought Christmas gifts for the girls. One girl looked at my gift and said... I never got a gift before. She was new to the program and was a heroin addict. Amy speaks openly about drug addiction and says, Mom, you don't know what its like..I get a craving if I open the cabinet under the sink. Chemicals. Oh sweet Jesus. My son, went to the same rehab facility for ETOH. Sadly, the alcohol addiction and undiagnosed mental illness took his life. thank you for letting me vent.

I don't know your background but I have to say the soul of your child is immortal. God is loving and gives infinite chances in reality. I only say that because in the west they say suicide is it. And it's like game over. God is so loving and forgiving of our weaknesses. Your son won't have the same mind but none of us do when we die. Our minds change over the years anyways. But the soul that witnesses reality? Goes on. It will learn more lessons and go back home to God source. I felt compelled to say do. Maybe God wanted me to say it. Love to you. ❤

Once I gave my life to God after a very traumatic event, I legit stopped all of this cold turkey, then I to cigs shortly (a pack a day) then another traumatic event happened and then I legit cracked emotionally. It was at that point that I realized I had to free myself from ALL external things, food (I fast consistently), negative people, thoughts and emotions, negative TV, gossip, everything..

@Brandon-ju5pg Год назад

I’ve been sober for a year and never really dabbled with drugs or alcohol, however I got drunk tonight and I realized how bad it is for someone. It completely tosses away all future inhibitions and only focuses on the moment and what you Can gain from every second that goes by. But in the long run it completely shatters your life, not only taking from your health, your time, your energy, judgement, mental clarity, and so so much more. It’s like living in a dream, a warped reality. Being sober is so much safer and leads to a joyful longterm future as opposed to a short term gratified life

Kevin Healey: Thanks for reminding me of the good part of the solution to remove oneself from the places and people, and to RB for citing Churchill about people being what takes us off our habits, intentions or the like. The Big Book says one should be able to stay arond them, and I agree. But it is wise to stay away during a critical, vulnerable, shaky, weak period to get a little sober foothold and stable platform of one's own first.The longer I go without the addictive substances and behaviours, the more my body and soul calm down and detach from them, and abstinence gets the chance of feeding itself in momentum just as addiction did.

You aren't really you until you escape it. If you've learned enough about yourself, you simply cannot revert back to the former you. You are absolutely correct in the traits necessary to heal; willingness, openness, honesty and humility. Only then can you accept help and allow it to work.

The 12 step program is working for me. I haven’t completed every step yet, though the two things that have really helped me so far is turning your problem over to a higher power. This is basically your admission that you just can’t control this on your own. Once I made that sincere commitment, a weight was lifted. “We’ve got this” was the feeling. The second step was living in the moment, and when wrong promptly admit it. Daily inventory. You just start to live a better version of yourself. And without realizing it it’s day 44 of sobriety. Happier life, better sleep, no hangovers, more energy, better relationships, not missing toxic relationships, more time, better outlook.

@tarawalsh-arpaia3928 2 года назад

I soooooo agree with you. When I was a teen I was in a special group in school and we used to do various activities/ One day our teacher, who we always saw as Mr Healthy, asked us if we would like to attend a junior AA/NA meeting. We were teens and he knew that these issues would have already or will soon confront us. BTW he asked permission from the group at AA/NA first. So, we agreed. We went twice but to this day I keep Melodie Beattie;s Day Book by my bed and have learned the value of the steps to all of us. I think my son's teachers did a great job addressing the issue with them. One asked them where they thought they were most likely to find hard drugs. They were a bit blank at that age but probably assumed from some 'evil person'. The teacher said: 'No, the greatest likelihood is that you will encounter them while with your friends, good people who may have tried it before and so you think it's no big deal, it's safe. The friend doesn't wish to harm you. It's just that they sneak into our normality and aren't always lurking in dark alleys.' I agree with RB that we are all addicts in one form or another. It's a very Buddhist way of thinking and our goal is to investigate that part of ourselves and learn to let it go. Sounds easy. It is NOT. It's a lifetime, a practice that you ring into your life forever. Some of life's most precious skills are taught on AA/NA, such as boundaries, assertiveness, self awareness, introception (a word I recently learned), accountability and so much much more. If all young people were taught these skills the world would be so much more peaceful and humane. Not perfect (another addiction), just more of an environment in which we can flourish and grow.

@mateosmind751 2 года назад

Thank God I went to a rehab that left the 12 steps out. It has a 65% success rate at 1 year after completion. AA has only 3 things right Step 4 , having a community and then being of service. Sponsorship is predatory and it's why the people who started AA like Bill and Bob were against it. Of course they were known pedophiles in their "sobriety" so their opinion might be shit.

@tarawalsh-arpaia3928 2 года назад

@@mateosmind751 I like your summation. Having a community and being of service. I would add developing healthy boundaries in many cases as well as certain skills like assertiveness. Many people self-medicate into addiction of one sort or another (i am sure a friend of mine is an shopping addict) due to being in the 'wrong' community and not being able to develop their own voice and feel respected and whole and this does real harm. Good boundaries enable us to be genuinely of service rather than engaging in co-dependent scenarios or, what my mother has called toxic generosity. I think she read that in an article somewhere but it is a pretty good phrase for people who want to be 'of service' to their own grandiosity. I see that often as a lawyer who works a lot with charitable services. I won't work with any where I see that quality is not rooted out. It does no service to anyone but the person themselves. Thank you for that neat summary: having a community and being of service. That really does connect us to life and one another. Johann Hari wrote that the heart of addiction is disconnection and I think that's a good point as well. Best wishes.

Mary G: That is so horrible, I know. How is insomnia now, 9 months after your comment? I have studied natural medicine (25 years óf severe insomnia that Drs didn't really help me solve). If you are up to my help: Please learn about natural care, stop coffee, nicotine if you haven't yet, go for daily walks, eat clean and healthy with many cooked root vegetables every day, live with regularity, pray and meditate, have social connection, switch off any wireless device as much as you can and especially when you go to sleep, abstain from watching a Computer screen , cell phone etc several hours before EARLY bedtime. You can easily learn what these simple rules/ habits do for you, why they are right and work. Oh, and take care of your Liver and Kidney functions. See a naturopathic Dr, TCM Dr, corrective Chiropractor or good Nutrition therapist, or nutritional Balancing Program, depending on what feels right to you. If you can't afford that, doing a strict, healthy diet as medicine will work wonders. Stop sugar and any soda drinks, dring mainly boiled, hot water. It is about doing things contrary to alcohol (and other drugs), making body and soul mora Yang than the negative Yin of alcohol. I'd like to hear how you are getting on.

Along with activities such as yoga that. feeds your soul. However don't solely depend on 12 steps, yoga, meditation etc to heal. You have to go within.

Russell able to model that, able to embody that, those principles, those ways of life that I vaguely remember from when i was a child. yet every cell in my being opens up to this seeing, to this flow of life, of all of life, of my life i was made for this. thousands of years in school, evolving, through trial and error. just to be able to be awake. to be with the pain and the love, simultaneously. to be in flow cats do it naturally, yet we have to hone our connection to ourselves. what a paradox im glad love tastes sweeter after finding it, or else my losing it would have crushed me. it did, yet here i stand uncrushed gratitude
