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.

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.

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.

I quit getting drunk when I was hugging my toilet, puking and crying while my wife rubbed my back. She was pregnant and our daughter was due in a month. I had work that morning and showed up still drunk from my bender. That was it. I’ve been sober for a little over 2 years now. I do miss it, and there are times when I want to say “fuck it, I need a god damn drink”. But I don’t want my kids to ever see me in that position. We had another kid, my first son last Saturday and I really need to be the man I needed when I was a kid for him. The father I needed for all of my kids.

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.

Addiction is bad by definition, because a key component of that definition is that there's interference with the normal functioning of your life.

When I gave up alcohol twenty six years ago I was worried I would become a straight boring person. What I found was that there was a whole lot of different things I enjoyed and was ok at. For the first time in years I started living and instead of always thinking about myself I could honestly think about others and contribute to other people’s lives. Best feeling ever.

Longest I did sober was around 100 days, probably just under. Then I relapsed around 18 months ago and have been trying again and again. Right now I am on day 5 and I am hoping I can stay sober tomorrow night because it is the weekend, where I find most temptation.

I was a heavy alcoholic from 25-28. Broken bones, 5 days awake, holding cells, hallucinations, hospitals. Hardest time of my life. Two years clean. Edit: For those asking how I was awake for 5 days when alcohol is a sedative, I'll explain. Alcohol works on your gaba receptors depresseing you CNS. To compensate your CNS becomes very exited, and as a result if you stop drinking you can be in a sitaution where you can have seizures (i had preseizure symptoms). I saw flickering in my eyes for almost 7 days. No sleep and walking up and down my hallway (a condition called akethisis), before I finally went to A&E (that id been rejected from the first time). I only drank, nothing else. I'm 3 years sober now, and life is gift.

I figured this might be a good place to share my story... Hope this helps someone I grew up in a drug infested home with parents that abused substances including alcohol. I left home at a young age and ended up joining the USMC. I experienced a lot of traumas in the service and when I got out, I started to self-medicate with Alcohol. As soon as I started to abuse Alcohol my entire life seemed to halt. Things that were very important just didn’t matter anymore. Goals I had seemed distant and out of reach and overtime my life started to spiral out of control. When I abused alcohol, I also seemed to abuse everyone close to me. My marriage struggled, other personal relationships struggled and overall, my life became a struggle. This, combined with the PTSD I suffer from was almost too much. It wasn’t until I was arrested for domestic violence that things started to get better. I had to hit rock bottom. The courts ordered that I got treatment for my PTSD and that I had to quit drinking. Because I didn’t want to go to jail, I was forced to do this. My life began to change for the better almost INSTANTLY. My interpersonal relationships were able to be repaired. My marriage improved and my overall happiness improved. The goals that seemed so distant now seems just right out of grasp. I was able to refocus my life. I went from living paycheck to paycheck with severe depression and anxiety to making over 200k a year. My mental state is overwhelmingly joyful. It seems to me that Alcohol took the place of everything that was important in life. Once I removed that, it was almost like this fog was lifted and I was able to step back and evaluate what was happening. I have not had a single drink in 9 years.

I got sober at 37. Hit 3 years this January. My favorite part of sobriety, in all honesty, is experiencing emotion. Sometimes when an emotion hits me, I realize that it's the first time in my life that I've felt that way about that circumstance - it's like I am child experiencing something and learning how to cope for the first time. And I know that all the emotions I feel are mine. They aren't brought on alcohol. That's a miracle to me.

That was a genuinely fun conversation to see. Jordan is often portrayed as an angry man, so it was nice to see him shown a lot more light hearted here, while still being thoroughly accurate and thoughtful with his words. I can very much align with the feeling of needing Alcohol to be able to socialise. That feeling is not so great anymore but through my university days it was probably a rare occasion to see me sober and with friends. So this conversation really was a great insight into this area.

Im 6 days away from being 5 years sober. These are 2 of my favorite people and this video is 4 years old. GOD IS GOOD!

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.

Im 5 years sober after I found true passion in areas of my life I cared for. If you drink alcohol you acknowledge that the other things you could be doing aren't worth more to you than that buzz from alcohol.

Notes on Alcoholism: - Some people were just born with a predisposition towards becoming an alcoholic. Don't blame yourself if this is you. - When you drink throughout your life to the point where it is no longer fun anymore, it will never be fun again. - The last stop for everyone on the alcoholism train is vodka. Be careful. - Learn to be bored. This would cure a surprisingly large percentage of the alcoholic population.

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.

Nice to see a video of Jordan having a fun time talking with someone. He's usually in a constant state of defence when he's on a podcast, but here it's more casual and lighthearted.

I got clean after i was diagnosed with Leukemia. After being declared cancer free last month i can't even imagine going back to drinking again

Grow some tasmanian and gigantheum poppies and have a poppy tea every once in a while. I would also save some for emergencies like the flu or cold.

@@frankrodgers7524 I'm interested in this. Can you buy the seeds anywhere? I have a green house and grow all kinds of natural remedies. I'm really interested in natural things that help you sleep. I've had chronic insomnia since my 20's and doctors don't see it as a health issue. I do. I have all kinds of stomach issues that go away after I get a decent night's sleep.

Thank you for this. Needed it more than even I knew. Thank you.

What a blast to see Jordan laughing so much! He's usually interviewed on such heavy topics and so serious. Great discussion!

Almost two years without meth and weed. Plus no alcohol.

It warms my soul so much to see Jordan laugh like that, knowing that he can be very very emotional at times.. May God bless this man ❤

I really needed this. Thank you.

I was a social drinker and gave it up completely this year. I noticed how much pressure there is to join in especially when dating. This decision has helped my clarity and discipline which makes me feel better about myself.

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?

@@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.
