Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

"As a person THINKS in their heart so are they." Proverbs 23:7 How you think and view yourself not as an alcoholic but a new creation in Christ is the key. Alcohol and other drug addictions have a mental relationship and spiritual relationship addiction. You need to be a new person and according to the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 " Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn from above and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. 18 But all these things are from God, " You need a brand new spiritual self and get rid of the old dead replacing it with God's eternal life of God. It's as easy as a simple prayer to accept Jesus and ask Him to come into you making you brand new spiritually and receive His eternal all encompassing sacrifice for the eternal forgiveness of any sin.

This is the most eloquent and well delivered Ted Talk I have ever seen. I have watched it at least six times today and counting, because it affected me so profoundly. When she said, "Please reach out and help others, be kind, share this message with others," I busted. I have struggled with AUD since I was 18 and have always passed out. I am now 38. I'm on the verge of being written up for my attendance at work, losing my apartment, and losing my job. I'm behind on bills. I have cried and cried and cried all day. Thank God I found rehab and my insurance will cover all but $650 of it. I have tried everything. And I am currently drinking as I write this. I think I've relapsed about 16 times and counting now. I don't know if rehab will work, but at this point I'm desperate. Desperate for answers, desperate for help, desperate for hope. Alcoholism runs on both sides of my family. I have never been able to control it. And I am at the end of my rope. It's either I get help, or I die. I wish more people understood the ins and outs of ANY addiction, and all that it entails. It is the most destructive, hellish problem I have ever had to deal with. I feel so alone and this woman has given me hope.

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.

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

This TedTalk saved my life. Successful treatment using the Sinclair method after a year of Naltrexone combined with normal drinking and positive reinforcement on sober days without Naltrexone. 4 1/2 years completely sober and without the help of the Sinclair Method's effect of causing an indifference to alcohol, I wouldn't be here today. Looking back it's hard to imagine that was even my life. Thank you for releasing me from my prison.

As an alcoholic, I kind of see drinking as borrowing happiness from tomorrow. Sad part is you can never get out of debt.

I struggle facing the fact that I don't want sobriety bad enough. That's the hardest part for me. Accepting that I want alcohol more than sobriety.

I'm 37....I have been drinking since before I was even 18. Both parents alcoholics. I can only tell people that I drink to feel normal for a few hours a day.....and then it repeats day after day. I do function pretty regularly......I can talk anyone into believing the reasons I drink by pointing out how ridiculous this world can be on a daily basis. I desperately want to stop because it's not fair to the love of my life,, even though she doesn't know that it isn't fair. I will drink alone and not bother anyone,, unless they get in my way of me cracking beers at 8 at night until 6 or 7 or 8 in the morning. I can absolutely out drink anyone who tries at this game with me,, I do it to show them that this isn't a game at all when the opportunity presents itself. Wether I'm drunk or sober nobody can tell......But this eats me alive more than it does anyone else. I am confessing all this for anyone who may understand. I have actually found Jesus, I now know why we absolutely need him,, because even my love for God still takes a backseat to my addiction. I am drinking now even though I wake up every day and swear to myself I WILL NOT DRINK TONIGHT.....It's actually pathetic!! Like I said,, I drink to feel normal in this crazy world but that shouldn't be the case...... people like you and me have this ritualistic behavior......I have researched for so many years everything about this and I have found that many people with OCD use alcohol to shut their brains off. Also people who have closed head injuries suffer from severe depression and anxiety like myself,, amd i also have more than 1 closed head injury. I am confessing these details so anyone who reads this and understands the struggle knows they are definitely not alone.....and I need you to know that our families need us and the world needs us and that is why we are Spiritually attacked so heavily! I LOVE YOU

I keep having this same thought thinking I'd be able to come back with control. but I know that what happened to her is exactly what would happen to me.

Free info and free support for The Sinclair Method is all over social media today. I highly recommend the book by Roy Eskapa.

I drank daily from age 20 to age 34. Tried to quit several times during those years and once was able to stay sober for 6 months. During those six months, there were intense cravings and a strong desire to drink at nearly all times. One drink ruined that sober period and plunged me back into my habit again. Alcohol absolutely ran my life, every last little thing revolved around my habit. To this day I do not know how I stopped drinking. I had resigned myself to my alcoholism and given up on any attempts to quit. One night I was fairly drunk and went to take another sip of whiskey, it tasted bad to me and I poured it out. Haven't had a drink since. It's been 1.5 years and I've had no cravings or desire to drink what so ever.

It's rare to hear things like this and what this woman is talking about. Usually people just kick you while you're down and think you're no good if you have an addiction, even after you get sober.

My sobriety date is Jan 28, 2018. Since then, I've been promoted at work, I've had raises, I got engaged, I got married, I got out of debt, bought a house, made amends to my loved ones, regained everyone's respect, and have become dependable again. Among many MANY other things. I live a disciplined life that I love. I'm not bored either, I LOVE MY LIFE. The blessings are endless. I'd be naive if I said that alcohol and drugs were not the problem. My journey was painful and difficult but believe me when I say that if I can do it, anyone can. Try it. Your life will change, for the better too.

38 years ago I had had enough. I told my mom I was tired of the life of alcoholism . 1984. No rehabs on every corner. Had to go to a state hospital. Went in Saturday night. 3 days detoxing. Hallucinations. Woke up on Tuesday sober. 28 days later went home. Gained 20 lbs. Never looked back . No AA. No shrinks. You have to make up your mind. You have to WANT to stop.

This speech saved my life.

Keys to quitting: find a more constructive hobby to fill the void, and do not take your friends and family seriously when they say “it’s ok to have just a couple”. Know that deep down almost everyone wishes they can quit like you did, and that you are doing something special and honorable by staying sober!

you can.

I've battled drinking from the age of 25 to 45 because I found myself living for the weekends and not happy with my choice of work carrier. I would drink through the week to cope with life and binge drink with friends on weekends when possible. At 45 I emotionally knew I was failing in life by my choices and actions from alcohol. At 47 I found my passion for the outdoors to be more true to myself and started a tube channel for fishing and camping. I am happy to say I found myself before loosing everything I had embracing me like my wife and kids to true friends that were not abusers. I can stay sober for weeks now and choose when and how much I want to drink if I choose to with friends. Life really begins when you understand!

Thanks to AA and having a wonderful sponsor and meetings I don’t have to take a pill to stay sober. I have 26 years and am living my best life! AA works if we work it!❤

There's no way of knowing if AA "works" because AA does not keep statistics, but also, as it is a spiritual programme, asking if it "works" is like asking if Catholicism or Judaism or Taoism "works". It works for those who desire to stay sober so much that they are willing to surrender their need to drink/use to their higher power on a daily basis, find a sponsor to work the steps with, and go to meetings regularly. And if that sounds like too much work for some people, then I guess AA won't "work" for them.

Wow, I didn't even plan on watching five minutes. Watched from start to finish captivated. I want to get rid of alcohol from my life so bad.

That was an absolutely outstanding speech. I only wish that I had seen it much sooner. I lost my mother four years ago due to alcoholism. If I ever encounter anyone who has fallen into the miserable abyss of alcoholism I will most definitely recommend that they try “The Sinclair Method” of treatment. Thanks so much for posting this. 🙏🏽

I was an alcoholic for twenty years of my life, it took a severe overdose where I almost died for the penny to drop for me, I said to myself I am not doing this anymore to myself and I am proudly five years sober, I did it all on my own, with willpower and the love of God xxx

Saw this vid three years ago. Helped me greatly back then. But stress from work hit me big time and I can sincerely say that I ran away from this vid. I finally said quits to my job albeit it in six months advance, and that brought me back the strength to face this vid again and am glad for it. I’ve slowly started moving forward by seeing doctors, taking tests and meds, and readying myself for rehab. I’ve earned enough to retire, but still need to endure another five months at work. I am glad to be living in Japan, where I have no needs to worry for my medical bill, but will need the courage to march on for another few months.

AA is not for everyone.You're bitter, still and a dry drunk, who can't empathise with someone trying to achieve the same goal, but by different means. Crawl back under your narrow minded rock and leave the people who want to actually do good alone.

3 days sober

It worked like a charm for me!! Please pray my husband comes around to do this. He only tried it for 3 weeks....went from a case of beer to a 6 pack per night.....then he erroneously thought it was him and stopped the med. Right back down the tubes. He has suffered hallucinations and seizures before. Currently ha has drank himself to the point where he cannot even keep water down. Poisoned himself.....again. He has done this pattern over and over again....for the past 4 years. Losing job after job and being bedridden from boozing.once he starts he has no off switch. Unless.....unless he takes the Naltrexone. Pray his stubborness and blindness goes away. I stopped the vodka. Switched to beer and I no longer drink until I pass out. Love this med....it saved my life!!! Tearfully grateful for it. I have plenty of sober days....and tonight when I had had 3 beers....I was good and stopped

I woke up one morning to the sound of my mother yelling for me. I ran downstairs to see my father dead in the living room with a pool of blood coming out of his mouth. He was a severe alcoholic that we tried to help any way we could. I then drank alcohol myself to suppress my PTSD. A few weeks later I had a profound dream of my father and I sitting in his truck. At some point I realized he was dead and that I’m dreaming. He then looked at me and smiled. I said “oh my god I love you and I miss you so much.” Then I woke up. It was so overwhelming I started crying. I still don’t quite get what happened, but I will always remember that dream. To rationalize this I thought of it as him saying “it’s okay.. I’m okay” It was an amazing and relieving experience.

Am 23 and addicted to alcohol which has made me lose the love from my family. we pray that God will help us through this. nice talk Ted
