My many addictions, have I always been an addict? 

I so can relate and I'm 57. I think it's great you have such an awareness at a young age. I laugh at how many things we can get addicted to. I think once you heal your body the mind will follow. Dr. Amen is really good. I luv your videos ❤

And as far as the comment “you are too young to be an alcoholic” yeah that doesn’t make any sense. You can be addicted at any age, it’s actually a positive you figured it out earlier in life rather than later. Take care and hope everyone has a nice day.

Hey Slayer, yeah I was heavy into pot in my 20s until it started causing anxiety. Then I went off to drinking alcohol which by far has been such a struggle to give up. I am a work in progress, we all are. I’m always striving to be a better version of myself. You’re on track…

Heck yea man! I’ve said it before but working late night as well I always get the notifications for your videos first!! Which is awesome. Going to listen to this while I work. Thanks slayer! 👍

That’s how I was too. Great Video Slayer!!❤ thumbs Up 👍 and sharing out.

It's crazy how I can relate to what you are saying in your videos. Being shy, having social anxiety, being unable to speak to your relatives without alcohol, the constant fear of death. My father died because of a drunk driver when I was 9 months old. I grew up living mostly with my grandparents when I was little. My grandfather was an alcoholic and was abusive towards my grandmother when he was drunk. I remember standing next to my grandma when he threatened her with a knife on night. I woke up from the noises. I must have been 6, 7, or 8 at that time. There were many instances like this growing up. In the end, I was there when he died of lung cancer. I was the one calling the ambulance and helping to carry the stretcher up the stairs and watching my grandmother cry. I developed my OCD around the same time. Counting numbers in a perfect order with the perfect pauses in between. I did that for hours until I fell asleep. Being afraid that my mother will also die when I won't be able to count perfectly. Now I have two kids, and I am still struggling with OCD and alcohol. I take a break for a couple of days or weeks, and then I start again. I drink only at night but I know that it's slowly but very surely becoming an issue. I am drinking right at this moment. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't write this. Anyway, that is like a 3% cut out of unpleasant things that I deal with from my past. It's not an excuse for the drinking, just an explanation. Thanks for your videos. They are seriously helping me. Not on the harder days but on the 50:50 days. Greetings from Germany

Any age can be an alcoholic. Maybe they are just trying to say you're too young to be doing that to yourself. You know like if someone dies at the age of 20 or any young age people say "He died way too soon. He was too young to die." So I wouldn't take it personal. Some people mean well when they say things but it may come off the wrong way. Especially through text. Some emotions don't come through text very well. That's why its nice to talk to people because you can hear their voice. Great vid by the way! Stay strong.

Hearing all you have been through makes me even prouder of the efforts you are making now!

Man everything you just said it’s the story of my life. I’m glad you’ve been sober for a good time I will try to do the same

Thank you so much for your honesty and sharing,so inspiring and encouraging. God bless.

You are on the right track absolutely and there is a girl out there right now that you don't even know she's looking for you and you don't even know her but you're looking for her and you guys are going to meet someday and it's going to be like a vibe that you've never vibed before You feel me homie?! Bro she's out there and you guys are going to carry each other You made so many good points in this video that if I left a comment long enough it'd be a book so I'll just leave it at that Love you bro can't wait for the next drop! 💯🔥

How embarrassingly accurate. After each point you brought up I was like: Oh no… He is ME! Exact same story, crazy family, exactly same addictions. Man, all I know is whenever a relapse happens, somewhere within all hosts of thoughts, there is a lie we still believe. The truth shall set us free, and if we ain’t free, there is a stronghold holding us back, a lie somewhere we keep telling ourselves. There is no comfort in video games, RU-vid, drugs, alcohol etc… But I still don’t know how to tackle being completely sober. (See, that last sentence is a lie, haha, I just lied omgosh) That’s how deceptive my mind is. The wild thing is we are set free. If we truly believe that, we should have the tools to overcome, because the Lord is with us in the storm. But I guess my priorities isn’t where it’s supposed to be. Keep making videos. I love them!

Your videos are awesome. You keep it real. Thanks so much for posting this valuable content.! I just celebrated my 4 year soberversary.! Keep up the good work one day at a time friend. Life is so much better in sobriety.

Video games, porn, taking so many drugs, everything I can completely relate. My real devil is alcohol that shit completely takes your soul. I'll never be the same... Your an awesome dude man keep uploading! you give me hope!

Thanks slayer!! I noticed a common ground with addicts , that is depression and anxiety?? I guess I didn’t realize that before. Addiction can be to almost anything, drugs, alcohol, green as you say, or even food. We all need to try to be balanced… stay safe slayer thanks again for your video’s.

Porn is a big addiction in my life. Wasted countless hours and dollars for quick gratification. It hadls hindered my ability to form relationships and my ability to grow as a person. It has taken much more than its given. In every sense. Physical, mental and spiritual. Keep going brother you got your whole life ahead of you. To become the person you want to be.

I've noticed many alcoholics are poly addicts or at the very least smokers. Mine was coke because when drunk, that seems like a good idea. Luckily, that only lasted a couple months because coke is WAY too expensive and I needed that money for booze. So being broke was kind of a blessing in disguise 😂

These are fascinating stories! 😮 Maybe try the Gateway Experience, hypnotherapy against addiction, naltrexone / vivitrol, and / or talk therapy.

Good video. Nice job.

Love your channel I just found you yesterday keep going you can win over addiction ❤

For me the green has helped me through my sobriety, anytime i crave a drink, which is not very often but i would take a puff and it takes the desire to drink away from me.

Another great video! I personally think there are so many things that can become addictions, but I also think some of them are way more preferrable to being addicted to substances. I've never tried longboarding myself, but it sounds like something really fun if I weren't the clumsiest mf on earth 😂 Also, amen to everything you said about weed! I was a heavy stoner for a long time and completely in denial about all the negative side effects, and only after quitting could I see the harm it caused both to me and my friends at the time...I can say I know people who have pretty much ruined their lives by buying into "it's just weed man".

The Tupac thing is normal, man.

Wow this death thing is something, man. I somehow became aware of my mortality way too young and to this day sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep because of the intrusive "I will die one day". Im very afraid of death, terrified even. So terrified that sometimes I wish I was dead already, so I dont have to feel this dread. BTW - What games were you playing? I was a WoW nerd :) Good times were had, but man, sometimes I wish I had done anything other in my life than being imba pro

What do you think of *Cali sober*? I'm a medical patient in the Uk and it helps. I just don't want the booze as thats always been my go to. I've been doing AA and have a sponser...not sure if I want AA? Is there an alternative other than white knuckling it

Bro tell about this weird feeling of anxiety when you rn smoking weed because I could relate just day by day I’m facing with like paranoia and panic attacks after joint and it wasn’t like that before when I just started

ive always had some sort of crutch today its kratom.. end of the road substance

Im addicted to utube😮😊
