PsychedSubstance Overcomes DRUG ADDICTION (Kratom, whippets & Alcohol) 

It's been a minute since I've last interviewed Adam! We had a really good time having a deep conversation. I decided to post short clips which I'll release over the coming weeks. Full Video Podcast out now for patrons: www.patreon.com/user?u=3120234&ty=h Full Audio podcast: www.yourmatetom.com 🎙YOUR MATE TOM PODCAST 🎙 SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/show/7kyFriTK3u1tUTVc4Uwaua iTunes: itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/ymt-podcast/id1274634186?mt=2

We are all addicted to dopamine. Addiction is a symptom of deeper pain.

Man at 10 minutes you can tell Adam really was hitting on something deep at the core of the struggle, those fleeting glimpse into your early life, flashes of the real you, it's like coming back full circle to the beginning, having to go back to beginning to see what was lost, I've had very similar thoughts, especially now as I am 27 getting closer to 30 I tend to be more analytical with resurfacing old childhood feelings and memories I seemed to have forgotten. Great video Tom! Love it. Keep on moving ahead guys.

Adam!!!!! What you are saying here about addiction is 100% true. You said it so well. I have goosebumps - in every way, you hit the nail on the head and removed all ambiguity about the issue at hand

Make more of these haven’t heard this duo talk in ages

Cheers for the video Tom and Adam!

Ohhh wow... i say this Even before watching the video... as a renovering addict...this is a conversation im realy look forward to hear !

Excellent point Tom made about Alcohol and social anxiety.

What you guys just explained around 12:10 About masking your insecurities/problems such as social anxiety with weed and alcohol is so true for me and many others. I remember the first time trying weed that I was able to have conversations I’ve never had before with the person that I would have never imagined even saying hi to. Just from that experience I think it engraved my brain to be dependant on weed. That was the struggle for me when I was putting it down, I was also putting down my confidence

This is really fascinating.

Hearing about people's misery puts you inside a similar mindset.

Hearing non-AA members talk about AA is so funny to me. That program is all about self-improvement and solving the "underlying shit", the exact thing Adam says it isn't. I hope someday we can get some more people out there who can improve its terrible optics. Also, +1 for Adam saying drugs impregnated him with pleasure lmao.

I loved fireworks so much as a kid. The creek too.

It doesn't matter what stage of recovery you are in or what substance you are recovering from. The followers of these channels should know that everyone is different. Everyone has their individual perception of how reality works and operates and to what degree this effects them is also thusly unique. It is the willingness and mindfulness to admit your problems and confront them. Both privately and publicly. "Waste no more time talking about what a good man should be. Be one." Marcus Aurelius

I can relate 200% ✅

Ive quit weed so many times its like im addicted to being on day 1 of quitting

Sometimes are language betrays us. When we start talking about addictions as a battle I think in my own personals opinion we have kind of already gotten of on the wrong foot. We shouldn't look at it as a battle but as a learning opportunity. Learn as if addiction is a really hard class in school that you must study for and even get tutoring if needed i.e. help for addiction but if we look at as a battle we are setting ourselves up for failure. Just my opinion.

WOHOOOOO, my 2 favorites.

As soon as I saw Kratom I instantly clicked on it. 😂😭😂

Hope ya doin well mate👍

Oh wow, PsychedSubstance and tom in 1 video.... Keep up the good work mate :)

Yep... That's me... I honestly don't know why I cycle through life and addiction, I know that I have pure willpower and can just stop proper hardcore addiction, I mean intravenous meth, smack, MDM. Also , alcohol, weed, bezo, all over different times, and I just did it each times, stopped, no support of any kind. But so far I've always cycled back to one form of addiction.. and I have no idea why... Yes there was abuse in my life, but I can't, even when I try, to feel any trauma from those events, I have understood and rationalised all my abuse and it feels like it has no affect at all... But I cycle in and out

We seek unconsciously discomfort so that we can grow, I think the ego/shadow tries to destroy it's self so it can rebuild again

Don't be so sure that he really managed to overcome drug addiction.

Yeah this didn't age well.

Walk this line carefully my friend...This advice can be very dangerous

yeah he hasent been clean that long.. Hope he stays clean addiction rly sucks

With respect, this is a functioning addict giving advice on sobriety.

I just saw this video & its interesting to hear the points that were mentioned. But why are so many people in the comments hating on Adam? Like, its his personal journey & hes trying to recover from that. I just dont understand how you can discourage a person when they are trying

Nope. And now That faker is addicted to steroids

Tom - do you play the piano? Post some of your work on the keys.

@6:28ish i thought Tom said he quit league and that that was his addiction (league of legends), the computergame :D

I used to love watching Adams stuff years but after watching the toll it took on his family I couldn't deal with it anymore. I can say one thing for sure. If he relapses one more time they will probably walk. I hope he has the humility to understand that he will always be an addict whether he uses or not. He looks so miserable straight and that's a problem. Good luck to him though, I hope he makes it.

good chat

wasn't inhalable 'alcohol' what crowley used, & used in 'Vision & the Voice??' & i think that was the only form of alchohol he would take in. not sure. i remember accidentally holding this cloth of isopropyl i was using up to my face & it got me really high--i didn't have john dee visions, or anything . . .

'Healing Trauma' in my experience is a multipronged approach. Yes therapy is paramount but trauma causes brain tissue to callous and this also needs to be healed with certain foods and herbs. It's not all just about talking. Also addiction definitely is not solely caused by trauma. Correcting Glucose and Mineral Salt deficiencies has played a vital role for me also, as well as detoxing from toxic heavy metals. The compulsive behaviour in addictions I think can be down to short-circuiting in the brain akin to the short-circuiting that people experience with OCD. Electrical impulses are being impeded due to lack of fuel, calloused brain tissue and/or toxic heavy metals in the brain. Getting the metals out helps neurotransmitters to thrive. Looking at 3 of the above mentioned things has helped me heal my addiction and not rely on meetings. I still go every now and then just to connect, but I do get frustrated at how a lot of people in there don't want to think outside the box and thus forever remain reliant on the meetings. I wouldn't advise anybody in early recovery to move away from the meetings though, I have seen too many people die because they thought they had beaten it. It takes a lot of work to heal this thing. I'm 8 years sober from alcohol and hard drugs and have left the psychedelics behind me two years now along with kratom. Kratom didn't turn to an addiction but it nearly did, scared the crap out of me so I threw it all out. Stuff is seriously addictive. Totally substance-free now even caffeine and I feel absolutely amazing. I have had a number of other health issues so it suits and helps in healing these things too. Besides, I have zero interest in taking anything knowing how they are just damaging my brain, plus I am content, no need for any mind-altering substance. Only since implementing the following information can I say that I am healing from my addiction. As well as addiction this person's information has also helped me heal my insomnia, Lyme disease and ADD/Autism: www.medicalmedium.com/blog/understanding-addictions www.medicalmedium.com/blog/addictions-part-2 www.medicalmedium.com/blog/addiction I hope somebody finds this helpful. Thanks for the video guys.

Coping mechanisms. Which I don't have.

I love Adam been watching him for years, but idk. I do agree that you have to heal the trauma to overcome drugs..He also didn’t mention his addiction to adderall 🤔🧐

Adam is such a hippocrit and acts like he's got everything figured out and knows everything. I don't watch this guy anymore for good reasons. And his family left him too. He's in denial

Since adam uses steroids he looks so strange.

Whippets sugar brimstone weed

👏👏👏

Whrip! Wroom! Wreeep! Wrooo!

I have heard a lot of tripping stories, and they are very exciting, I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, is there any reliable source I can purchase from??

now its steroids :D, we all know the addiction trap... TRT BABYYYYY :P

how am i seeing this??

But just because you are addicted it does not mean that you have some trauma... Maybe you just like testing new drugs? We all know that (the right) drugs can also be something beautiful so there is not always a trauma?....

What is this weasel a guru now? 🙄

7:49 Nature abhors a vacume Alan Watts.

you don't overcome addiction lol. more of us are high functioning addicts without realizing. love what u said about using obsession for a better purpose :)

Glad you beat your demons Adam. I had a bad kratom habit, 14ish grams per day every evening or I couldn't sleep. Little bit of alcohol mixed in, maybe 2-3 beers a night to potentiate it, and daily marijuana. I miss it often, but I know it was bad for my health, particularly mental health with how bad the restless legs would get. I kicked the kratom habit, but I still smoke weed daily, but it's a work in progress.

But you’re still using testosterone ? I have also tried trt and it’s definitely like a drug

Adam will always be an addict because those brain connections can come back easily when in a tough situation so not sure why he’s so cocky. Just waiting for that vid when he messes up because that’s in the not too distant future. While he’s trying to improve himself maybe he can actually listen to other people talk instead of always speaking about himself and cutting everyone off mid sentence because he’s not interested in any conversation that is not about him. This observation is over many years and everyone knows it, you and lauren included.

Psyched substance ... overcoming drug addiction ... Hah!

Tapering from benzo addiction these withdrawals sucks but from 2mg xanax to 15mg valium I hope Ill be free from that this summer cuz last three years of vacation time were fucked by benzos

Oh god not the nangs

It's easy to find motivation and find the will to 'overcome' addiction when you're a popular youtube star. It's another story when no one knows or cares who you are. What does it matter if there's no one to care, either way?

Really surprised at the comments about what addiction is and is not. 12 step is not science,it has many flaws,the inability to observe these problems,or be open minded of Adam and his experience, shows the problem with AA. I don't personally believe AA is good for everyone who has been addicted to something,and I have seen plenty prove Adam right,and many prove AA right,which is scary.

The sad oart is he keep relapsing but he doesn't see how each time me makes more and more justification and hes getting worse and worse when people try to point it out

I cant agree with addiction coming from trauma ...u try a drug and u like it because it makes u feel good so u continue using until that moment when u cant stop...u are then addicted only because u will be sick of u try to stop....not because u have traumas that u havent dealt with.

Adam the Polly addict that uses his videos as an excuse to get high 🤣

So Adam doin roids now orrrr...

You never overcome drug addiction

Kratom hampir sama kandunganya dengan tramadol

something about this guy i really dont like traitor english vibes

this is really not good content to watch while high

Yeah and now he’s addicted to steroids and testosterone lol!! Bro has roid rage to the max… psychedsubstance? More like RageSubstance

Addiction? Try getting off opiates!

Thus says The Lord: The Scriptures do not lie! And My prophets speak, yet the people refuse to hear; they will not listen! Even My own people will not believe! Yet their belief is not at all required. For My will is set and can in no wise be turned back. The truth of My Word stands; it speaks throughout the generations and echoes throughout eternity! For I am The Lord, YAHUWAH, I am EL Shaddai, and I shall surely perform all I have spoken! I shall not cease, nor relent, nor shall I be turned back from My purpose!... The kingdoms of men must die, and the evil of men must be destroyed; all must be wiped away! Peoples of the earth, you have hated life, you have polluted My garden! Diseased and awful generation, you have destroyed the garden! And so I am come to cleanse, and to wipe away! I am come down, My face is very near! Do you feel the heat of My wrath, O ignorant and vain peoples?! You retain no knowledge at all! Only greed and wickedness, wickedness upon wickedness, passes before your eyes without ceasing, and oh how you love to have it so! DEAD GENERATION, YOUR HEARTS ARE STONE! Day after day you build up wrath, the vessels overflow! Day by day, the bodies are stacked up in heaps! Day by day, the unborn are slaughtered, whole generations of people murdered without cause, multitudes of innocent cast off as refuse! Yet you think Me too harsh, and My punishments too severe, My judgments unfair. I AM THE LORD, AND THIS IS MY EARTH! THESE ARE MY CHILDREN!... All you see, from the ground beneath your feet To the farthest reaches of the universe, is MINE, And I shall do as I please!... I shall do according to the counsel Of My own will,[2] for I am God! Therefore, O peoples of the earth, because you have slaughtered the innocent and murdered your neighbor, lo, you have even made for yourselves laws that all may do their pleasure in unrighteousness and perform evil at their leisure, so then shall I also declare MY Law, and it shall fall hard upon the backs of all nations! Yea, I have put forth the decree and hasten to carry out your sentences, O peoples of the earth! And what is the sentence, you ask?... Look upon the slaughtered innocent! Look upon their torn and broken bodies; behold how they are torn in pieces! See how their blood pours down and their limbs are strewn about! LOOK! Look how they are scraped out of their mother’s womb! Look upon the works of your hands, you evil and most wicked generation! LOOK UPON YOUR WICKEDNESS! LOOK UPON ALL YOU HAVE DONE! Thus says The Lord God, Creator of Heaven and Earth: Because of this blood which remains on your hands, because of all the multitudes of slain you have piled up in heaps, because of the evil works of your hands in where you have agreed together, to both do and allow them, to make them law, THUS SHALL I IN LIKE MANNER DO UNTO YOU! IN LIKE MANNER SHALL YOU RECEIVE AT MY HAND! Lo, even double shall you receive at My hand, and double again, until there is no place found that is not laid waste, until every land is polluted by the stink of rotting corpses! Both man and beast shall lie down in death together; they shall be as refuse upon the land! I shall tear down your cities and break apart all your dwelling places! I shall tear your leaders in pieces and pour out the blood of your mighty men upon the ground, until it reaches unto the neck![3] Behold, all mighty and evil men shall be torn in pieces, with their limbs strewn about in the open fields and in the waste places![4] Behold, the great army, the astonishing company, the assemblage of nations who have come together to fight against The Holy One of Israel,[5] shall be broken in pieces without hand! For strong is The Lord, and sharp is the sword which proceeds from His mouth![6] Behold I, even I, The Lord of Hosts, shall scrape every last vestige of man and his inventions from the earth at the last day! For I am God, and the glory of My strength is revealed in My Holy One! The glory of men must die! Declares The Lord of Hosts, The Only Creator, The God of Israel... YES, I AM HE, YAHUWAH!... Hurry now, those who hear! Hurry now, those who know Me! Hurry and kiss The Son![7] Hurry now and kiss Me upon My face, All you who know My name!... YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! www.thevolumesoftruth.com/The_Glory_of_Men_Must_Die
