How To Get Yourself Out Of Rock Bottom | The Bedros Keuilian Show E072 

Thank you for watching friends! If you got value from this episode, then drop a comment and like 👍🏼

I started this week moving into my mothers house at 46 years old, since my wife told me she wanted a divorce. While i love her she said it was a marraige of convenience. I feel very broken right now. Very much needed this, thanks!

In 2010 my wife and I were out celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary when we got a call that our then 15 year old son broke his neck snowboarding. He was told he would never walk again. My wife and I faced a crossroad, go down in flames or get our son walking again. So for 6 months I took care of our 2 girls, school, dance classes, pta etc while my wife stayed at the rehab center with our son. Fast forward 1 year, and he walked in our front door. Fast forward to now, he is married and just had a beautiful baby girl.

"Fitness is the gateway drug to better mental health." - Bedros 🔥

28 year old male here. Father passed when I was 12 and I had to teach myself how to be a man. I think I did a decent job but I am very thankful to have men like yourself to teach me more about what it is to be a man so I can level up further

90 days sober today Bedros! 25lbs down and gaining mental and physical strength through fitness. I have found the cure for the creeping depression is a good workout. Keep providing this kick ass content so we don't get complacent.

39 years old and I'm currently under the rock at rock bottom. In 2020 I lost my business and marriage. I moved to Florida to try and reset. Spent 2 years there and lost myself. Im now back in Texas living with my mom with no job, no car, but my son knows I'm here and I can see him again....that should be enough to pull me up, but surprisingly enough its not. I have no purpose, no means, and my fight or flight mentality is crushing me

❤ I know that you are mainly talking to men BUT this old lady needed this today! Thank you❤

Just the most coincidental timing. Broke up with long term partner of 10 years- using alcohol most days finally decided to stop yesterday to get some clarity.

I lost my mom february 2023 a couple months later i o.d. on prescription meds at the end of october my wife filed for divorce & i lost my job as a electrican! I hit rock bottom i was a mess! Forward now to mid-february im doing alot better now! I chose to keep on moving forward mentally At the beginning of my divorce i started working out, mending friendship, and working hard for a better job! I still struggle at times but i try to live in the moment and take it day by day!!

Intermittent fasting, weight training, drinking water and quitting alcohol, starting a business, saving and investing money, being consistent and gaining momentum - some of the best things i have done. Still got lots more things to do. Great video.

what great timing. 2023 was roughhhhh

Thank you Bedros. Haven't heard it said this way. Simplify it, 30 days work out, stop doing 1 thing that is destroying you and start doing 1 thing that will build you. TAKE CONTROL!!!

Love your podcast! Down almost 100 lbs, started a whole new business at 51... YOU are exactly what I need when I need a kick in the ass! Thanks Bedros!

Thank you, B!!!! Lost 40lbs unintentionally, in 3 months from a "life ambush" and had to get desperately pissed off at my lack of ability to eat, focus or stand up without the room going white and having to sit back down, powerless to realize that I had to force myself to eat no matter how fucking sick I felt, to get strong and level again. I was running out of weight to lose and passing out cold randomly. The stress is still here, but I'm so conscious of my mind/body connection and protecting that first or I'm useless as a mom and human or dead and hell to the no. That ain't Katy.. Love you, Bedros. Thank you always!!

The title I needed today.

Snowed in today so this gon be good for my workout 💪🏽

I know your content is mainly for men, but I love the tough love and straight talk. Recommitting to improving my health and fitness and getting myself out of this rut. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank You for the wake up message. I've reached rock bottom in my life, because being irresponsible with making decisions with money. Being mislead by paying attention to women online during the pandemic. You don't need to be young to be stupid. I'm getting back in shape physically, mentally and spiritually! Thx!

I’m 31 years old just got out of 5 year relationship, been smoking weed and drinking for about 15 years moved back in with my gma, and dam I’m ready to check out of this lifestyle and start something new with my life. It’s blessing to have found this channel

Thank you Bedros - I needed this, commenting at 2:45AM and not sleeping. Time to take back control.

Hey Bro, I hit rock bottom a year ago. My rock bottom was depression from my relation , fear of loosing my children, one injury after another, bad decisions family who wants to dictate your life , live in place where you grow up, I felt like I did not achieve anything in my life, no support from my wife, this is all after coming back to my original country after living overseas for 20 years. I found out that I do not belong there any more. I forced myself to go to gym every day rebuild by body, walk again. I packed my staff and family and moved back to Australia, knowing that I will not see my parents for a long time. I just want my life back and rise my kids my way, not under uder people dictator ship. Love your show!!

A genuine support system with people that aren’t the ones that love seeing and keeping you there!

I’m 27 years old male, born in Mexico and raised in this great country, I was 30 pounds overweight last year suffering anxiety attacks and depression and BK has change my life, my business grew up 2x I’m getting fit and feeling better it blows my mind how much progress you can make in one year by building good habits.

Everything in this video resonates with me Bedros and your content is always on point. No overeating, drinking, getting caught in the warmth of my bed when i should be up and any other self sabotage for me. Trying to be the fucking savage I know I have within daily and your right working out is the gateway drug for success/self mastery. Thank you for everything you do brotha!

THANKS FOR SHOWING THE LOVE AND TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR LIFE ❤🙏🕊️

Rock bottom ain't the end, it's just a solid foundation for a comeback! Pumped to check out this episode and learn how to turn those lows into launching pads for success. Let's rise! 💪🔥

Tremendous episode Bedros, you are an American icon. Thank you for all you do!

I got sober, cold turkey in jail 5 years ago. Had lost my mom and was pulled over driving wrong way on highway. Did the work and no longer suffer from addiction. Brought darkness to light and have not looked back. Needed to hear this video to realize i have more work to do to better myself.

Got time squared away to read Man Up, podcast style content is 🔥

I've just recently started listening to you. I feel like this video was meant for me. I spent almost 20 years drinking every day. The past two years I've gotten sober. That being said I lost my family home and direction. My goal now is be the best I can be. I eat right exercise daily set goals and most importantly try to eliminate all the bad in my life and bring out the good. I was listening to a lot of ancient Roman philosophy videos and podcasts. They all led me to you Bedros. Thanks for the great videos and they mean a lot to me. I have to listen to inspirational stuff everyday to keep me going. I get my kids Thursday through Sunday and I struggle the days I don't have them. Videos like these are my backbone they are my strength to be better. 💯

53 days clean from my kryptonite. In the midst of my comeback story. My son's mom said she doesn't love me we broke up end of last year I had a really rough patch for a few weeks. Got all the shame and guilt and self loathing out of the way.. now I'm on go mode! Went back to college to become a certified welder, Gym 5-6 days a week usually twice a day. Picking myself up, rewriting the story 💙💪 DON'T quit on yourself endure the pain.

Yes yes so true! Coming out of rock bottom. Thank you Bedros for your continual authenticity and uplifting us with the how to!!❤

Okay dude. I’m gonna stop the thing that is destroying me. I’m gonna stop having bad luck. I’m gonna start the thing that is going to build me and start having good luck. This is my year, I can feel it ✊

Thank you Bedros. I have a guy I’m working on being a mentor to. Shared this to him. I need it just as bad as him. We can do this 💪

Hope IS what's "destroying" you. When you "hope" you rarely to never get what you're hoping for and disappointed. Stop hoping... it's passive and fantastical by nature. When you give up hope, you're never disappointed and sometimes pleasantly surprised. STOP HOPING!!!

Bedros Keuilian ... I think I tell you this every time, but this is one of your most powerful videos. Very few men could admit the things you shared, especially on YT. Bravery + Honesty = Real Man 🎵

Super powerful. 💯🔥 Much needed for many men rn.

Bedros!!!

B, after a month and a half out of Jiu Jitsu, I finally got back on the mat today. Full disclosure, I lost my job last August, and fell into a pit of alcohol-enabled despair. I lost my will to train at the thing I love the most. I listened to this episode and decided to start again doing the things that build me (Jiu Jitsu). Now I need to stop doing the things that destroy me - alcohol and cigarettes. I’m a work in progress, but your words have inspired me…

I hit rock bottom with alcohol and pills on Valentine's Day I'm now sober from alcohol and pills and it's hard but I got positive people in my life and I'm thankful for my friends and family.

Thanks for the part about not drinking alcohol. I hardly ever drink and people always thought I was weird. Personally I just don’t care for the taste. And I always thought something was weird with me because I don’t care for the taste. I never thought about people consuming alcohol because of how it makes them feel and not the taste. 😯

Thanks to you and people like you ive found hope

Lent is upon might as well try being disciplined for 40 days… or more. Great clip. Let’s work.

Resonated so much with this! Rock bottom is exactly what you described. Fitness was the only thing I could 100 percent control. Thank you sir. Glad I came across your content and it was nice to meet you at the gym recently.

It’s 3am. I was a professional max rider in Canada for 10 years. 2 houses, Cadillac , jacked Jeep Cherokee, custom chopper, brand new Harley. I drank it all away thinking I found love. I’m broke, on a couch and work put me on a leave of absence . This helped me.

Thank you for the great work you do, you are a great guy Bedros, I am glad I found your channel. Your videos have helped me a lot.

Thanks for videos❤Very useful and in time when I needed. I’m 35 and I’m single mother. I had been in toxic relationships and starting everything from zero. Found my path, my career. I needed something to keep me going.

Awesome topic Bedros! The obstacle is always the way! It’s not what happens that matters rather how you respond….thats what really matters. Heart Attack, divorce, and job loss all within a few months motivated me to get off my butt and change everything! I used “chunking”… just took it one day at a time. One workout at a time, surrounded myself with amazing people and took your advice Bedros…thank you! My life is great I will never be a victim!!!!

Dadros back with another banger. Needed to hear this one today!! Thanks for the uplifting content, a true inspiration!

Another diamond. Thank you.

Needed to hear this, keep up the great content man!

This is unfreaking believable. Bedros ypur telling my story. Im in the gotta get the ball rolling and stop hitting the snooze

One of the best episodes I have watched in ages! Great! 👊👏

Bedros Jan, you WILL save and change lives with your content; keep going. Thank you for everything.

Nope! Not lost at all, I know exactly where my local costco is! Jason B. Lincoln, Nebraska

I needed to hear this at this very moment. Thank you so much!

I needed this! I'm there but am pushing everyday and it's hard.

Hello to everyone from us here in England in the UK 🙋‍♀️

Thank you, I really needed this today B!!

Excellent advise. Will follow thru.

Well said! Keep it coming! These days, people don't realize that if you exercise, you are blessed. If you are able to work out, don't waste the OPPORTUNITY!! 💯

Honestly I'm using a vape to ease my pain and to calm myself but thanks to your video I really need to watch this to help me get my life together 💯

Neded this. This last year has been a roller coaster. Job performance plummeting, son being diagnosed with health issues, debt from rising costs, working 2 full time jobs to pay bills and continue the day to day with my 4 kids and wife. On top of my own mental health and weight issues. Started taking small steps. No. 1 get back to square one and get in the gym regularly, helped tremdously. Started eating better, more present as a father and husband working towards killing those bad habits and continue on an upward trajectory. This is the ear food i needed to continue. Many thanks

I always listen to ur podcast every morning❤

Awesome episode, thank you for this !

Brother, I NEEDED this today. The spiral was real. You have given me my hope back. I appreciate you. You are a true brother! 💪

Yet another banger Bedros, not a person on social media whose message resonates more than you brother.

I got value from this video, definitely needed to hear this, definitely need to take inventory and get a mission plan together. Going to start fighting back against the stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction and start working out like an animal, sick of being overweight. Thank you for the reality check. 💪🏻

Im going ro listen to this every DAY!!!💪 LOVE IT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I

This is a great episode. Keep stacking those micro wins. They'll compound and eventually solve your problems.

Thank you, I needed to hear this!

Bedros, you are %100 right about occasional social drinking and your view point on alcohol. My occasional drinking escalated into alcoholism and I had to struggle for many many years to quit! Ignorant people do not want to see it but from an alcoholic point pf view nothing could have damaged my life this much. Alcohol consumption will not give you any benefits…

Awesome talk, thanks for sharing. Needed to hear this today 🙏

Absolutely needed this episode 🙌🏾

Thanks for sharing about you being open and transparent about being molested/abused as a young boy. I’m seeking out a good place to learn and open up about my experiences as a young boy. You Rock Bedrosian.

Thank you so much for making this video. I really needed to hear this advice today. I am at rock bottom but your words ignited something in me that I thought was all but gone, and that is hope. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

I dont drink alcohol or smoke, but My own rock bottom is a very bad and severe mental illness, schizophrenia, voices in my head and immense pressure in my head for no reason...it has been pressing me down for 9 years...getting a job would be risky too because of my brain that is unstable...it is so difficult to recover...it tried so hard to recover but it never worked 100%

It's been about 2 months now i've been down and out but somehow i found your podcast on my spotify and i gotta tell you.. you've been tremendously helpful. Thank you and appreciate you Always.

Thank you for sharing this… so real , raw and most importantly inspiring. My first priority was removing drugs and alcohol so that I could start to heal. My sobriety date is 7/16/23 and I’ve eliminated so many problems by doing that. Now I need to the same hard work I did to get sober into my my physical condition. After hearing this I’m ready to hit the gym, to take action on the those all the thinking I do about it. Don’t know where to start- but everyone starts somewhere!! 💪

I needed this. Day 1 today for me.

My husband abandoned our children and I for drugs over two years ago. Our youngest son was 2 years old. Living with him was a mind f*@!. He's diagnosed narcissistic & bipolarschitzophrenic. We moved out of state so he could go to school to run his own business,(which would bena family business), and I don't know anyone here. I can't even drive because I have seizures. I almost died birthing our youngest, and my iron has been low since. With that & the levels of cortisol from stress, my organs are suffering. I don't drink or use anything. I don't even smoke cigarettes. I've always been fit. I just feel like everything ends up f*@!ed for me. But I've made some serious life changes, and I should be back to myself soon. Thank you for the inspiration to stay on this new path. You are very strong.

Losing my dream car last year was my breaking point. Been working my job and making money from things I was passionate about. My brother got in big debt and I helped him out. I had to drop my passion. We stuck by each other through the dark times and we're both building back up. We had to go and see therapists to vent everything out and come up with a plan to get out of rock bottom. Like our dear mother said to us during our rock bottom...the only way is up! Before I discovered you I was going through an eating and energy drink addiction. I work a stressful job that is poorly run by management and I pissed away the extra money I made on vices. I am happy to say that we both are doing so much better now and I have quit all the vices. I am building up my current car so I can get the model of my dream car back...but even better. Thank you so much for getting me to wake up and giving me the advice on rebuilding my life! :)

I'm not an addict anymore but after getting divorced and spending a lot of time alone i got used to being alone. Now I'm in a relationship and a stay at home dad but I feel like I'm wasting away. Don't get me wrong I love my wife and kids with all my heart. I don't feel like my old self anymore but at the same time I don't know who I've become. I constantly sacrifice everything about myself to be there for my family. I feel selfish doing anything for myself

I came across the BKS a few months back when I began my journey of self improvement. It has now become an incremental part of my morning routine to get me geared up for the day after my workout at 6am. Thank you for the motivation Bedros.

Thanks man. I needed this.

Just the video I needed. 4 months of being on the shelf from a hernia. Finally had surgery earlier this month and the Dr. just gave me the green light 🚦 to get after it 💪

Powerful episode. I lost my job in may and I lost my girlfriend too im so heart broken i dont know what to do its been tough getting a new job. But im not going to give up on my dreams. I have a plan but i dont have the funds thats whats frustrating me. But i wont lose hope i know God will provide for me.

I’m pregnant and I feel like my life is over. My husband lives in Egypt and I live in Hawaii. He probably won’t be able to come to the US for at least a year or so. I already feel like a failure because I can’t be a stay at home mom like I wanted. I have to find a new job, find someone to rent out my condo, and move to Texas all within a few months (my family is in Texas and I need support now). I feel like a loser for putting myself in this situation. But I gotta pull myself up and figure it out. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wish i could give videos like these a thousand likes. Keep inspiring brother 👊🏽 .

Best episode ever🎉

Hey thank you for this video I needed this and I’ve been watching you lately because I know I need to change things in my life and nobody is gonna change anything until I start changing me

Needed to hear this, thank you

Great video Bedros

The tippy tippy top my friend. Enjoy your day. Never let anyone hold you back.

Thank you BK!! 🙏❤

Thank you for this BK

Really appreciate your honesty and going in depth about the story of your car and having to sell at a loss and put yourself in debt. Currently in a very similar situation with my business as it slowed down heavily. Stayed on top of keeping all my goals together as much as possible but it’s inspiring to know you have gone through such trails and tribulations also and you are where you are now💪💯

Bro this hit me directly. I actually felt like you were right in front of me one on one like you had just interviewed me. I'm definitely turning around immediately.

Thank you!
