Jordan Peterson on Alcohol 

Alcohol is a truth serum because it reveals the truth of the individuals under it's influence. With So Much Love, Lee

Hahaha. That outro was golden man. Great video. 👍

12th tradition

C9

So good 🙏🏼

Lmao

I'm gonna borrow this joke lol

20+ my self. 😂😂😂

Haha ten times today!!!

LOL.

Lol

He's drunk on knowledge.

Good one xd

Yeah. I thought we were going to be treated with something very entertaining. God knows JP deserves to let things hang out for just a little bit after all the hate he's had to deal with. Theo dude, much respect for you after watching this video.

fucking lol

I'd go further and say it's stealing that happiness.

@Tondon Shonan Then you need professional help. Because that isnt a healthy thought pattern

That’s an amazing quote.

Drinking tonight for pleasure is stealing my happiness from tomorrow

Tbh I feel like drinking borrows happiness from up to a whole week 😭

thats a strong thought

And then you realize it was never your friend! If you're lucky.

Truth

Damn

Bhodisatvas sounds like my ex girlfriend

2 weeks here, have to start somewhere

@@unknown81360 Two months will come sooner than you think. You can do it.

Proud of you guys ❤️

Well done!!!

It's so hard at the beginning. When you quit, you have a void you feel like you need to fill. You have to rewrite every single thing afterwards: your headspace that holds negative thoughts, your coping mechanisms to life in general, your downtime to how you can actually make things enjoyable with the substance absence, etc... you wrapped your life literally on this staple, it gets you to the end of the day with some soothing comfort. To take it away and to be so vulnerable to the time you have, you have to start making it more productive. After I quit, I shot up my productivity. I stayed busy bc that's what alcohol did for me. Sip and keep sipping. Well, now I sculpt, paint, picked up my violin again, craft, learned how to sew, shared it outward so I find some fulfillment with it... you just have to keep applying the separation from that past. It's hard, but oh my, oh my oh my oh my its WORTH it.

Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

Can you help me with the reliable source . I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind

How can i find him? Is he on Instagram

Very well said😊👍

I like find it like hard like listening to like Theo like Von. I’ve seen a number of his podcasts, and his saving grace is having good guests… I suppose that’s the whole idea.

This is the first time I've really seen him just kick back and have a casual chat with someone, and it was so refreshing to see. It's amazing that someone that intelligent can still be that down to earth.

Well, alcohol is a pretty uncontroversial topic, and so is the standard advice he gives here. It's good advice, though.

Absolutely.

I agree ! Amazing for sure ... His such a logical sensible human.

Agree completely.

I think that man is experienced and smart enough to know even before he agrees to do a certain interviev whether he will be ambushed or not.

@@TTFerdinand He has chosen to do uncomfortable interviews. That doesn’t make him not smart. I don’t see your point.

@@skoolie_life3261 I think you misread what he was trying to say.

@@abrahamlincoln1600 Jordan Peterson is brilliant when he's talking about social and psychological issues. He becomes insufferable when he decides to translate that analysis to politics and history and thinks his voice must always be listened to

Yea he realized theo is an open book and not full of himself ... good strate forward talk .

Keep fighting brother.....ur far more stronger than ur addiction.❤

I wish Peterson would stick to his original field of expertise, i.e. clinical psychology. He's quite knowledgeable in this respect, but once he tries to extend that knowledge to the political sphere, it all goes to hell.

@@drewpruitt4959 no one gives a shit

@@drewpruitt4959 so he’s brilliant in one field and can’t branch out because YOU say so? You must suck at parties.

@@rumpleforeskin5698 Sorry mate, didn't mean to trigger you so hard

@@drewpruitt4959 I’m trying to save you from yourself, Drew who sucks at parties

And suddenly you see him smiling and joking! Pretty interesting I think. Seems like trying to put someone in a corner is making people uncomfortable.. oh wonder. I can learn so much of him it is unbelievable. Don't understand why so many people give him such a rough time.

Right. Nice to see another kind of interview. Jordan is a genius

Watch the H3H3 podcast with Jordan. Same atmosphere there too

Yes!!!!

And then laugh at pot heads

stellar work m8 i felt that story

I really felt that to no lie…

Weak!

@@kylewashington1841 gay?

@@jcar4lifemancity4life5 lazy with nothing to say. Try again

Proud of you.

Proud of you 🙏🏾

Damn man, how much were you drinking everyday? Congrats for being clean, by the way.

What was your replacement ?

Congrats man I’m proud of you 🙏🏼

I hope you’ve stayed strong brother. There’s always help around ❤️

don't wait until you realize your body won't try for you again

How you doing? How long you got now bud?

When you say “I hope” you are already giving permission to drink again. You have to say I won’t drink

- hahahaha yes!

I like it when my wife smokes my meat on the weekends. Not sure about things like running or sky diving, maybe one day.

Good point!!

YOU have a life worth living & will have lasting memories to show for your efforts. Your activities take you to places that are beautiful to see. So sad for your drinking friends who are missing out.

Walk outdoors, hit the coffee, tea shop as the sun comes up. Golf, read, Enjoy Life

Plus 100K well fucking said.

@Preston Hanson If you're referring to not regretting a drinking problem then all I have to say is have fun at your funeral

@@thisisntsergio1352 he had to have been drinking when he wrote that. Unless he was joking, which I hope

@Wise Guy damn. Never mind weight watchers

Preston Hanson that quote you used is from hunter s thompson referring to those who ingest LSD, meaning buy the paper and take the ride. Give your family a hug numb nuts

powerful comment!

And to think we all thought jordan peterson was the philosopher. That needs to be on a t-shirt much wisdom in what you said

that hit home dude

Beautiful

It's just so much easier to get really good at something when you aren't fighting a 5-alarm hangover. Sober life vs. drunk life is like adding another 6-10 hours to every day.

Proud of you kind stranger. Keep up the work!

That’s great to hear! Congratulations to you! I saw so many people go the other way and start drinking at the crack of dawn when the lockdowns happened and they were out of work. I’m happy to hear that you weren’t one of them.

TankCatIntoMordor well done! Sadly, the exact opposite happened to me. Still trying to shake the burden

I'm jealous of you bro

Keep it up king ...... your on the road to greatness

GREAT JOB!!!

It's not a great comment, IMO. IMO, there is NOTHING wrong with addiction... it's just wrong what your addiction is. What I mean by that is, there IS healthy addiction. I'm addicted to exercising all the time... is there a problem with that at all? I don't believe there is. So I'm addicted to exercise , and I still have something meaningful to wake up for. And people that are addicted to drugs still have something meaningful to wake up for, they just have other underlying problems that lead them to a negative addiction. Addiction is just going after that dopamine hit that we all love! There are ways that are healthy for us , our body, and people around us, and there are ways that are unhealthy for all of those things. People give addiction a bad name. Whenever you hear the word addiction you mostly think of drugs, but there are a sh1t ton more unhealthy addictions out there that get no attention at all; even though it does the same things as drugs, which is just activating the dopamine that we all have in our body. What about consumerism? Better believe that those people are just as addicted as the heroin addict down the street. If they are not out buying something, they feel like crap.. so they have to keep buying things to feel their void. They may not go through severe withdrawals, but it is definitely an addiction. You won't hear people call the millionair that has 3 boat houses an addict, but they definitely are addicts. In any case.... people just need to find healthy addictions. We are all addicts of something... we just need to recognize when it is healthy for us or not.

Jim Smith Obviously you are not addicted to reading , because if you were , you would realize that what I wrote was NOT a comment , but a quote ... And I hope that since you are “ addicted “ to exercise , you should have enough brain cells to differentiate between a comment and a quote ... Also , what makes you think addiction to exercise is a good thing ? Just because it happens to be an activity that is considered healthy doesn’t mean it will be healthy if it’s overdone ... You will do more harm than good to your body if you overdo it ...

@@kilmoturtles1 You have no idea what addiction even is. Addiction is doing something even if you want it to stop. Search for a video about a woman who is addicted to exercising, it's not a thing of beauty at all. Addiction is all about taking something to a dangerously unhealthy level

@@kilmoturtles1 if you look up the definition of addiction, you could have saved yourself that long pretentious comment. Addiction is bad by definition, because a key component of that definition is that there's interference with the normal functioning of your life. If exercising is not severely interfering with say your relationships and job, then it is not addiction. Having a passion or dedication to something doesn't automatically translate to addiction. Btw, I hear there are few cases of real addiction to exercising.

@@shadowflare7230 There are many terms for the word addiction; one of them being ' addictive behavior', which is ' behavior that is rewarding and reinforcing' I said that addiction is not always negative, and you're just perpetuating that stereotype. I think people that have addictive personalities should not fight their personality type and just refrain from anything addictive, they should find a "healthy" addiction and ply that route. Thank you, but I understand the main term ' addiction'

​@@mikeauxbigwell I prayed for you bro. Hope you get some relief from alcohol, if you haven't already.

I am a recovering alcoholic myself and went to rehab where I was with other addicts. They all said the same thing to me. There's no tv ads when you're watching football on Sunday for meth. You don't go to your local restaurant and see people openly smoking crack. You don't go into your local gas station and just see heroin in the fridge. I'm not saying by any means that any drug is easy to quit but at least with a lot of the other harder drugs it's pretty easy to avoid the temptation as long as you hang around the right people and avoid the places where you know it might be thrown at you. With alcohol, in most places you can get it within minutes and it's constantly being thrown around in your face no matter where you go.

Right on brother I hope to be where you are one day

Are you doing a AA typr program? Ive been debating on weather or not to try it out

BRAVERY Clark 00 nice! Keep it going. I’m one week away from 21 months myself 💪 drank every day for many years before that.

Marley Mayhem Way to be my brother I’m very proud of you and I am so grateful that you are Experience seen a positive difference. I’m grateful to have the awareness and connect with people like yourself☯️☮️💟♉️

timme5150 to be honest I did a lot of an a earlier in my life when I struggled with pain pills. I think going to meetings depends on what you want out of your recovery. For me hearing people share old stories is nice but not my cup of tea. I’m a very intense person and honestly would have a hard time sitting through meetings so the biggest key for me was replacing the drinking was something else that stimulated me.

FlicksCode How was day 2? I’ll pray for you, brother.

@@AaronJZY thank you brother. I pray for all those as well. My day went good. I thought about it a few times then reminded myself that is time to quit. It's the devil in a bottle. May you and everyone live long and free of temptation.

If you can't let it go, seek help

Love and light to you ❤️

Hope your doing well brother! I'll pray for you at church.

👍

😘

Absolutely beautiful and inspiring story my friend. So happy you got your life back.

So happy for you. It’s true, you can live a life beyond you wildest dreams. Be proud, and congrats on breaking the cycle. Blessings your way! 💕

Amazing turn around man, very happy you were able to take your life back!

This is the TRUTH! I drink when I’m bored. I need to learn to be ok with being bored.

@@jillianwalsh5498 The next question is how? Meditation, which is a difficult thing even at the best of times. Trying it while going through withdrawals is not recommended. Curl up into a ball and wait for the withdrawals to pass. If you are drinking like 15+ a day you will need medical help. Otherwise, just stay down, forget everything else. And do it again if you fall back off the wagon.

@@juanpedro7645 Vodka is more potent and therefore gets you drunk faster and gets your blood alcohol level higher than an equivalent amount of beer would have. Vodka is also cheaper and more accessible than nearly all other alcoholic beverages. Many severe alcoholics end up drinking a handle (1.5L) of vodka in a day and that is territory that will result in catastrophic health consequences that have a high likelihood of resulting in death. Try looking up the health effects of beer at 5% abv and vodka at 40% abv. Even if you drank the same alcohol amount of each, e.g. 1 12oz beer vs 1.5oz vodka shot, the vodka has been shown to produce worse health effects than the beer in the long run

Being "just born with a predisposition" doesn't justify the choices one makes. It's still your own personal responsibility what you choose to do, just because something makes it harder to make better choices, doesn't negate that fact. But, it does mean you should have compassion on yourself. You cut yourself a bit of a break, but still take responsibility for your own choices.

I watched a few friends graduate from enjoying beer and wine to hard alcohol and then sickness and eventually death at an early age. I will stick to my wine and beer and food and sleep and exercise, so that I don't spoil a good thing!

Good job man. Good job. Stay strong.

Now try some weed. It is 100% natural and will take you to high places.

Bayari Hien bruh. You don’t need drugs in life

Congrats brother, stay strong 💪🏼

great job! keep it up!

that statement hits hard..

Had to ditch some family because of this 2 years ago when I got sober. I never thought they would keep me down, it broke my heart.

@@lcbryant78 ,Sometimes family are not your friends. Do the best for you. It all falls into place.

I lost one of longest and closest what I thought was friend.

I’ve had to learn this the hard way.... 5 years sober, not stopped me doing that, but yeah this totally resonated with me.

How is your journey going?

hiding behind jokes, undermining remarks and masking their jealousy. Pathetic how some ppl never examine their petty emotions to rise above it

A good friend of mine shared with me the same thing. Soon enough into college he realized that drinking buddies and friends are not the same thing.

Amen.

The fact is those who are addicts and lucky enough to get into the recovery process have to cut many people out of their lives. Recovery doesn’t even begin until you separate yourself from things and people that will trigger you. It’s incredibly difficult and takes discipline to separate yourself from your previous social scene and enablers but if you aren’t willing to do that you aren’t serious about changing your life

@@cskc6530 So true. I got into an argument with my drug buddy and normally would've squashed it but knew I had to cut him off. It was hard but I'm glad he's out of my life. 12 years later he's still on drugs

Nice man. Just curious, were you a heavy drinker? Just wondering how bad it was.

That's cool mate. I'm on the last day's of my drinking. I don't drink much in a day but I do every day and it is affecting the next day, too many times. 01/01/2020, new decade, new me.

Francisco same here. Didn’t know what feeling good was until now. Varying degrees of hangover everyday in he past.

Good job!!

By far one of the deepest but truest

Yeah dude doing stupid shit blackout drunk isn’t cool

I started when I was 11-12 so lots of my friends did, we all 30 now still drinking, doing drugs, everybody has good jobs, businesses, money, cars, but brain damage is huuuuge

Rookie 😂

@@Find.list.ship66 ?

At 21, I do not drink. Maybe a sip, maybe a shot here and there. But I will never have a full drink. I only worked on my social anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, so I did not desire to drink, because I aimed for long-term gain, not short-term gain in that area.

dukedalington you mean alchohol? 🙄

Love this quote

@@DMRJ53 oh shut up

I would say Emotions make excellent servants but can be tyrannical masters...alcoholism is often driven by emotional pain..alcohol kills the pain temporarily, Gabor Maté has a lot to say on the topic of addiction. Check out his TED talk on power of addiction

Nice set of words

People can’t handle the truth

Charles Humphreys - leftists need to blame others for their problems. Whereas JP teaches people to be better individuals by fixing their own issues and taken personal responsibility.

I don't know if you've noticed but... the youth have gone insane.

He's talking with someone open minded. Usually, he's talking to partisan, political, scared, cows.

Danish Khalil wasn’t just with alcohol also drug use. Sum it up short, I was dying on my way to the ER when I cried out to God to save me from all the evil I committed in my life had a outer body experience I woke up in ER bed and everything was so real to me, life had meaning and I wanted to know this true God in The Bible that I had been running from all of my life. It was a simple cry of desperation for Jesus to save me because I hated living the way I did. 🙏🏽💯

@@stoopkid6 wtf

That’s a fact !!!

Depends on how much tho..

Mads I was only drinking 2-4 beers a day but it really got in the way of what I wanted to do with my life. Instead of reading or playing the piano, I’d just crave a drink and do that instead. I’d say that tomorrow I’m going to do stuff with my life, tomorrow I’m going to improve myself and stop my bad habits. I recently shaved off my beard when I became fully sober from drinking and smoking weed everyday. Whenever I crave a drink I look at my new beard growing in, and realize that none of what I was doing before was worth it. I seriously almost caved in today and almost bought a nice tall boy, a tall boy ain’t gonna hurt anyone right? I can’t go back to it now though. I do miss drinking, but I realize that if I continue doing it 10 years will go by in a flash with, again, zero improvement to my condition or well-being. Some people are honestly fine drinking once in a while, maybe once a week, I get it. Then there’s people like me who would depend on it, and not look forward to anything else but that. I had to admit I had a problem and that I was an alcoholic.

How gaming feels. Any addiction waste time.

@@nickg4267 saying you are an alcoholic is the same as saying you have hypoglycemia. And if you understand the hypoglycemic connection you can rid yourself of those cravings forever. Check out the work of Dr. James Milam who wrote the best seller, "Under the Influence". His clinic's had a rate of close to ZERO recidivism because he taught them to go on a hypoglycemic diet. And avoid antidepressants like the plague they are because they bottom out the blood sugar & produce overwhelming cravings for alcohol in those who have never even tasted alcohol before! But beware because going off an antidepressant rapidly drops the blood sugar even more! Withdrawal must be EXTREMELY GRADUAL over months, but generally years of slowly tapering!

I’m in that boat right now except no woman and no prospects

No he is Kermit the frog 🐸

@dion one cocaine is great its just bad for you

Peterson himself has admitted to drinking heavily in his early 20's.

@dion one What's your word worth? It's your dull experience with alcohol and drugs against the majority of people who have damn good time with it. Guess you're a special snowflake then, bravo.

@dion one boring? Boredom is the number 1 reason that people take drugs. What the hell drug experience have you even got?

Congrats!

You probably look much younger now at 40 than you would have if you continued to drink those 3 years.

How did u quit

Gregg Darby Hi Greg, I went to one AA meeting and watched a large group of people describe how alcohol destroyed their lives. They all had no families, careers, or money anymore. I decided that was me in another year or two, so I never had a drink again, and never went to another meeting. Lights switch flipped basically. Understanding what you have to lose is powerful.

Lets celebrate, I buy you a drink.

Same here. Made it 4 months once and then believed my booze-brain when it said I could totally have “just one”. Did that up until 3 weeks ago when I drank nonstop from 9am to 1am….how I didn’t die is beyond me. Scared TF outta myself.

@@grannygoes7882 I would also recommend growing jasmine. Jasmine green tea is some of the best stuff on Earth to drink, I got rather addicted to this when I lived in China, (well, not really addicted, but it's pretty good stuff!)

Yeah, its the little lies, ie Your wife asks "How many beers you had?" "4, when you know your on 8" Or "How much did you spend?" and you make a little lie bout that, then you also have the lie to yourself, the good old "I will just have 1 more then stop"

Big time! I struggle with it greatly after a night of drinking,I'm not an alcoholic but weekend warrior for most part. The anxiety can be crippling after.

Yeahhhh very true!

I’m almost thankful for the fear I feel the next day. It keeps me away from it

Yep the Beer Fear ;-) strange how it affects that part of the brain, almost like when you have been in a dark room for 12 hours and the curtains are snapped open to full sunlight - your brain is running overtime because of the previous suppression of activity.

Not Beer man. Beer wouldn't do that to ya, it's way too caring 😂

@@gorgejung307 Glad there's people like you out there smarter than J. P. that see through the bullshit. Dude, he's just tired of dealing with casting pearls before swine and so he's relaxed because he's not having to do it for once. And yes, you're the swine in this scenario.

@@gorgejung307 peterson has an IQ of 150+ .. pretty sure most everyone he talks to will be "dumber than him", unless you construe intelligence as anyone who shares your opinions. and for the record, i'd wager theo von is far above average intelligence. he's very self-reflective and is fairly articulate in between his comedic persona bits. and even his comedic bits take are pretty observant and well-crafted.

jung uneducated trash

I've noticed over the years how people push alcohol on others like myself. I drank a lot in my younger days at the bar and parties but never really liked it. So when I'd go to a friend's or a friend of a friend or stranger they'd offer a drink and if I said no they'd really try and push on you. It's kind of crazy. They'd even be insulted by it. I wonder why?

ryanr851 thank you for the complement

Good call

@@grahammiles9434 Because they want others to partake so they don't feel like they are the only ones that have to drink. You feel a lot better about yourself if everyone is on the same level, albeit temporarily.

@@grahammiles9434 I found that too, of (some) of those people I Come into contact with who partake of alcohol will often say "Just one won't hurt'. Those that I know well have either them-self quit or never drank alcohol in their life. Some are good Christian Baptists and some are Muslim of those who NEVER drank alcohol. I enjoy their company better. Even enjoyable BBQ's can be had without alcohol. And there has NEVER been any social conflict at these social events. Alcohol ignites conflict.

AccomplishedClan you got this

You will be the one to see it

That's great young man. I am my dad as much as I didnt want to be but I didn't take a stand when your age and I got out of control and now I'm 49 and lost everything including wife and kids. I did some great things in the community by opening a mens and womens sober living homes and then relapsed and I'm now isolated on an old farm. I miss the organization I founded and the homes we opened but I miss my family like nothing else. I'm proud of you and please believe that you are an overcomer and you can do this before you burn all of your bridges. My father killed himself and now I see how and why he did it because ive thought the same thing many times because we both are and was bipolar. It's a tough disease that I was born with and it's the most intense type 1 for me and OCD and ADHD on top of it. As big of a mess that I am, I still have to remind myself daily that I was on parole 6 months out of prison when the community got behind me and we did great things together and there is still more life ahead of me I just have to want to live it. I would be a hypocrite to instruct you to live life sober and to the fullest and not pull up my own boot straps and get back on that productive path again. If you ha e an addiction personality do not think you can do it alone. And find something positive to be addictive to because I've learned that having bipolar cause me to obsess over whatever is giving me happiness and for me it was church and others it may be AA or NA but you have to connect with like minds to help you along. God bless you brother

Good on ya mate...I have a similar problem, keep it up brother.

Amen.

Great share!

Stephen Bruton! Haha. Good share!

@@jessesmit2907 Aw snap, you're right! I know it from "Crazy Heart" so I thought it was T Bone.

I just stop drinking before I fall down. 😉

The worst part is that it feels like it's falling with style.

Replace with x+1 roadbike(s). Theres just something about cycling.

Motor bike !! :-)

I thought you said Mountain Dew.

Wow man. I just did the same thing. I've been sober for a month and bought a mountain bike to try to get in shape and now I love it.

Lol brilliant

Noelle Anzivine

I'm proud of them too!

@Bloodbank I wonder the same for myself. How WOULD it be? It’s really scary and at the same time really exciting. You know?

6 years sober.

Thanks Sam

Lol you said funny guy humor

I think that “funny goy humour” also shows his intelligence but i agree

@BigRedRidingBear are you a 'red piller' incel or an SJW, I can't tell between the two anymore?

BigRedRidingBear weak people hate strong, competent people.

BigRedRidingBear weak troll. You can do better

@Caila He is just saying he is right. Doesn't seem like worshipping to me.

Caila Every note has been played, every chord has been played. Is there any difference a chord played on a piano versus a synth... of course. It’s all about reinterpretation and how can you rely art and ideas to the current culture.

@Caila Most things have been said before, but if he is hearing it for the first time then it is okay for Nick G to show respect to Jordan Peterson, or to get goosebumps. If you get excited over advice a friend gives you, should someone go "Someone has already said this, calm down"? Why get salty over someone finding something that could be life changing just because it wasn't a guy from the 1500s saying the thing.

Caila i love how you bait

Caila why so serious?

How is it working out for you ?

Yeah I’d like to know too. I’m quitting tmmr. I made a rule that I would only drink with family and gf but to even give myself rules for drinking made me realize I can’t drink. Normal people don’t make rules for drinking. I’m done

good luck

HOW TO BE SAVED: Repent: Acts 20:21 Authorized (King James) Version “testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 7:9 "Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing." KJV. 2 Corinthians 7:10 "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." KJV. Understand YOU ARE A SINNER and only The Lord Jesus Christ can save you: Romans 3:20-26 Authorized (King James) Version “20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:10 "as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" KJV. Put your faith in the Gospel: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" KJV For added assurance of salvation, call upon the name of The Lord (The Lord Jesus Christ) for salvation: Romans 10:8-13 "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." KJV.

You can do it!!!
