I stopped my 27 years of heroin and crack use through meditation and spirituality,of which Advaita vedanta helped most,through teachings of Ramana Maharshi,,,,,Who am I?🙏,..And watching Carl Jung interview when asked,do you believe in God,,no I don't believe,,I know,,,that just resonated with me and is always in my mind,,that was when I was still hopelessly addicted and desperate for a way out,,watching that Jung interview was the beginning of my recovery,, I'm now 54 and happier healthier than I've been since I was a teenager,,I now have good close relationships with my parents all my children and their mams and my grandchildren are amazing and I am so close to them..And,I now,like CGJung,I know too❤🙏

It indeed does. My mother couldn’t get past her trauma Iin life so she covered it with alcohol. It was miserable for all of us. And she really hurt my brother. I never understood her but she was hiding stuff that came out on her deathbed- like my grandmother denying her to speak the truth about being sexually abused. It made her die of throat cancer. When I was six years old I had a prophetic dream about my mom choosing the wrong door in life. I woke up frantic and sad and never knew why it affected me until the year before. She was under influence and never overcame in life. Very sad. But I found peace with my sovereignty from within. 💕

**Whispers of the Hungry Ghost** In the quiet halls of self-discovery's maze, Lies the seed of addiction, a smoldering blaze. A thirst unquenched, a ceaseless addiction, The hungry ghost roams, a tale of affliction. Drink, sex, drugs, in the dance of despair, Hungry ghost, hungry ghost, a soliloquy of care. In desperation's grip, we continue the fight, Rebirth fuels the energy, through day and night. Death claims the body, but not the craving, In addiction's trap, it's the soul we're saving. Changes beckon, compulsion's tight grip, Drink, sex, drugs, in this endless trip. Transcend the physical, break free from the cage, Enter the spiritual dimension, the true sage. Manifestation of will, the soul's earnest plea, From sickness to health, let the self be free.

I'm ready to be freed from my addiction please pray for me.

1 month 16 days sober from meth, fentanyl, heroin and cocaine. Life is beautiful. This feeling I'm feeling is what I was trying to smoke my way to. Great creator thank you 💘

I have recently kicked a habit of drug and alcohol benders which have been the story of the last 25yrs of my life. So many regrets and shame have surfaced after facing the feelings i couldnt face for so long. The most shameful and hardest for me to rid myself from has been gambling which brings me the most shame, regret and anxiety of them all. Ruined relationships through lies and financial ruin are a heavy burden on me. The reality of my actions now i am clean seem alot clearer, but it has been difficult to live with. I thought i would be feeling on top of the world getting clean but the reality of my past actions weigh heavy on my mind. I pray in time i can feel proud again and feel happy of who i am. My thoughts and understanding are with all who suffer from addiction hatever form it may be in. I hope u may all feel free again someday soon.

God’s weapons for victory WORD FOR TODAY Wed 3rd July 2024 ‘I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men.’ 2 Corinthians 10:4 TLB Before doing battle with Syria, Joab told his brother, ‘If [they] are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you’ (1 Chronicles 19:12 NKJV). If one was overwhelmed, the other could step in and help. Spiritual warfare is different, however. We’re not wrestling with ‘flesh and blood, but against principalities…powers…rulers of the darkness…[and] spiritual hosts of wickedness’ (Ephesians 6:12 NKJV). And wrestling is a one-on-one struggle that means getting up close and personal, going toe-to-toe with your opponent. When David faced Goliath, the giant was so sure of himself that he announced to all Israel, ‘If he kills me…we will be your slaves. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves’ (1 Samuel 17:9 NLT)! Think about the long-term implications of this. If Goliath prevailed, God’s people would spend their lives serving the enemy. The stakes were incredibly high for Israel - and they are for you too. Satan is out to defeat you, and if you wrestle according to the rules of the flesh, you will lose. Just like professional wrestlers have rules they abide by, there are fail-safe spiritual rules designed to work for you. Paul says, ‘We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds’ (2 Corinthians 10:4 NLT). The only hope you have of defeating Satan lies in prayer, Christian fellowship, God’s word, the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus. These five things top the list of powerful weapons given you to defeat the enemy. So use them today!

I personally believe there are aspects to awaken and lessons to be learned during an addiction process. It allowed me to develop love , compassion understanding and the loss of any judgment towards my brothers and sisters, allowed me to have no choice but to rebuild my broken self in full spirit. Thank u God , source, universe the lessons

We can liken the mind to a ball of clay. And addictions as impressions into it. When we meditate and grasp the eternal beingness and dis-identification from mind, the ball of clay is restored to its original shape. May all beings be free.

The solution to any addiction is the same and can be a great gift. The addiction is only a symptom, the problem is ego centricity. The solution is ego deflation which is what every spiritual practice is about. Less ego-more soul-god-love. The twelve steps are to save one from oneself, twelve traditions from each other. Meaning, one’s ego and group ego. The steps open the door and also point one to continue with prayer and meditation.

They deserve an award for the closing lines. People fight or criticize addiction as if it was a “Lack” of willpower yet it’s often the opposite. I have been and work with e know many addicts and boy! … addicts are SuperHuman no shit.. we do and survive the craziest things Ever . The thing is the divide inside the inability yet insistence on wanting to “feel” how I want when I want to above all else and getting cyclically clutched on it… Learning to connect and surrender live in tune with a Higher Power, I call it Holy Spirit yet call it what you will has been essential to me… nothing has been more annoying and profound than overcoming my own mind and how I set it up.. knowing I’m not alone or judged internally has made all the difference.. recovering and becoming free of oneself is pretty much the last and ultimate ride… in my opinion people with severe addiction are sort of trailblazers once everything’s been burnt down yet you don’t give up, as one keeps looking sincerely for a “better way” in my opinion only meeting God (call it what you will) is left

Addiction is an unwillingness to feel pain, seek discomfort. The idea its a disease that one is an addict can only manifest more symptoms. 12step modalities saved my life, the truth though is this. 12 step modalities cause more addiction symptoms...

interesting article and one you probably don't want to hear: WE DON’T MENTALLY GROW UP Our bodies mature with age but, (and remember there is always a ‘but’ or an ‘if’), our minds don’t “grow up”; (grow up defined: to gradually become an adult (adult defined: a person or animal that has grown to full size and strength:) AND, as you can see, neither word/definition has to do with the mind, and if you say, “Well, that is understood,” you’re wrong simply because that does not define what the mind does, or in this case, doesn’t do and if you still believe that you will have to try and defined why it’s ‘understood’. Be my guest, enlighten me. Experience is a teaching process, not a mentally maturing process. Experience simply teaches us what and how we can “get away with stuff”, and that’s all - and if that is not so, you have learned nothing. And not knowing that, how mentally mature is that? If physical maturing was also mentally maturing we would have benevolent rich people and we would not have to be “baby sat” therefor, no governing organizations. There would be no police or armed forces (“peace keepers” is a fancy title for one country to direct and control another country) or hunger or wars and way less crime and drug/alcohol abuse and way less abuse of any kind - think about it...but our minds don’t grow up, we just get new and bigger toys with the same irresponsibility of a 4 year old- that’s it, that’s all-period. All we do is get better at hiding behind labels and using them as excuses and alibis and until we learn the difference we will remain irresponsible. Also see "trigger warnings" and what's with this new proposed Canadian law call "Online Harms Act"? Online?? You got to be kidding!! Just further proof of our mental stability and do people really believing this crap OR is this just another way for governments to control us? How mentally mature is that? (today is April 2024 - The Online Harms Act, introduced formally as Bill C-63, will result in the most significant expansion of Canada's hate speech laws and create one of North America's most rigid regulatory environments for media and social media companies.) Bottom line: Humankind does not "grow up" emotionally. We'll leave morality alone because that is tied to religious/superstitious and area customs; way too many deviations. Just another area where we “grow up” physically not mentally. Any ideas out there? Outside of a cattle prod, frankly, I have none. Bottom line, we lack self discipline and as long as we have greed and ego we will never grow up. re: and we hire people and expect different actions from politicians and are surprised when they behave like the "common" person... (Self-discipline is the ability to control yourself and to make yourself work hard or behave in a particular way without needing anyone else to tell you what to do. Exercising at home alone requires a tremendous amount of self-discipline with the right goals in mine.)

What’s the opposite of addiction? Connection. Real addiction aka insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome, has an opposite. And that is connection. Connection is the solution. Look into what the wealthy and celebrities use to get themselves out of the grips of an addiction. Ayuasca. It’s illegal in the US, hmm I wonder why. Because it would heal almost all of the dis-ease we see today. We need an ego death. Our pride and ego is what stops us to see the truth and the reality of our issues. This video is so true.

True..its consumption of information .anything that is a pleasure not self generated by action but coming from consumption is addictive

Great content. However, Bill Wilson never directly communicated with Carl Jung. It was another early AA figure, Rowland Hazard, that directly met and was under the care of Jung. Hazard then carried the message of spirituality to another pre-AA member, Envy Thatcher, who then brought it to Bill Wilson. The concept of spirituality as a last resort, non-human based answer to addiction was embraces by Jung due to his exposure to the concepts in the book "The Varieties of Religious Experience" by William James. Either way, it eventually reached Wilson which is the important part. God bless everyone. AA works and all things are possible with God.

Since my awaking four years ago I’ve been doing daily meditation, fasting , semen retention I’ve quit my whiskey addiction and social use of blow @ the weekends prior to that I also kicked a massive Diazepam addiction which was absolutely HELL to go through also kicked a huge hooker addiction too but there’s just one last substance left that I’m hopelessly still addicted too and it’s Codine my last remaining friend I have to use chemists in a 8 mile radius as I’m doing 6 boxes a week as the doctor scrubbed my strong 30/500 repeat subscription…… I know it’s holding my new lifestyle back and affects my intuition greatly but I just can’t seem to break the habit of popping a load of pills in the morning and again at night but I have quit the middays hit so maybe I’m making progress, great video and really encouraging to see others winning their addiction battles…… thank you ))

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable knowledge. I wish you the best of luck further making great content, if that is what you will do! Also: have a good day, sir. 🇳🇴

What a wonderful video on a topic that is near and dear to my heart and that is, addiction. I'm definitely going to be sharing this video and you now have a new subscriber.

Every second of video is fully enjoyed. It sounds different when first experienced, been explained. It's crystal clear and fully understandable. Can assume that all awakened can agree that experience give all answers. And thank you for remembering.

This is deep! Im experiencing this ATM. Its amazing! Set me free spirit of truth❤

As an active addict I must say, kind sir, this is The Most Accurate and Profoundly informative description (that I have found,) of addiction as a process and adaptive reasoning symptom I’ve ever heard. I am aghast at how precise this description is. The need to separate oneself and ironically the feeling of being separate IS the root cause of all addictive behavior, wether from the memories or the current perception of self. You are now placed in direct competition with Dr. Gabor Mate’ for the next Nobel Peace Prize🫵🏽🫶🏽🌹💫 What a gem! liked, shared nd subscribed

Asangoham, your channel brings me enormous richness and nourishment (not to the point where I am addicted BTW 😀). I just wanted to write thank you. Like nearly everyone I have battled with addictions and just when you have overcome one, you spot another. The mental addictions are probably the most subtle, like e.g. wanting to be right, or being constantly or always the victim. Work in progress. I truly enjoy and love learning from your channel. There is always, a phrase or a sentence that inspires me.

As a ex heroin addict I don't agree that alchohol addiction is worse or more fatal. I don't think your life can grasp opioid addiction especially fast acting such as Fentanyl and Heroin. I've seen people die right in front of me, it's the organ failure.

Wow, right on point! You should look into Naturopathic Medicine if you haven’t already. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, but it’s definitely part of the future of a functioning healthcare system. If you like botanical medicine as well as eastern and are trained in allopathic medicine already you would probably really vibe with Naturopathic Medicine. In my first year of practice as a resident rn. It’s hard but much more rewarding than what my friends in the conventional model describe.

1:02 in India in Hinduism I think bengalis also belief that , the hunger is the reason of attachment and the ghosts are basically those creatures who died with a deep attachment in their hearts.. But the things doesn't die.. They continue to roam in the mortal plains with no end.. Only when the family of the ghosts do perform some rites like free service to poor or blood donation or volunteering or gita path and kirtana the soul gets released and finally leaves the mortal plains for longer journey..

I can't even remember what it's like to wake up and just be and not have to rely on drugs or Suboxone just to feel normal. I've abused my mind to the point that I don't feel real happiness nor can I feel real reward when I accomplish anything in my life and I've overcome a lot to be writing this to u all but yet I feel enormous change within myself that I am fearful I'll never be able to feel these things normally ever again not without my own induction of these old hateful patterns of using. I just recently gave my life over to God for real life change. I want myself to be who God intended me to b not what my will created bc my will being done has led me to do these things and I don't want to live this anymore. I have not done any pills for nearly a month which is great yes cause it's an exhausting expensive behavior that gives me nothing in return not even the momentary false peace I once felt from these pills. I refuse to level up and move onto the next great thing on the streets which is the fentanyl and the tranq these pushers have made up in their basement bc I know I will die and I've got grandchildren that love me to pieces this world will take if I'm not around to stand my granny ground with them watching over them when the parents are can't. I wanna show my family and my friends especially God that I am what God says I am not what this world says I am which is nothing much past a degenerate drug addict with no worth left. I am worthy and so r u whoever u r. Jesus saves God never caves turn to them and be shown mercy and grace.

AA reminds me of the church that passed these flyiers on Sundays with spiritual advice among which there was this one point that> masturbation causes blindess. Pray your addiction away boy coz we are apparently still in the midlle ages

For me addiction is a way for me to suppress my inner being because If I was to speak my own individual truth and expose some of the things I believe that have happened to me would upset certain authorities and because of the power of these authorities I would be shut up in an instance. Active addiction for me is the only thing that makes me feel safe because of the belief my head has created, I believe that me using is teaching the world how the mind of an addict works therefore because I believe my addictive behaviour is being monitored and scrutinized and controlled I genuinely believe I am doing good for others whilst having no love or empathy for myself. Some people call it justification but I believe addiction is a created behaviour because it suits an establishment and is a form that is needed to control the world in a way they want it to be , basically a scapegoat

So many stories 🙏

Great video. I've always had an addictive nature which manifested through alcoholism.

Im trying everyday is s struggle even when clean I want to obsess over caffeine or something to get that euphoric boost of motivation i remember what feeling well full of vitality and just a thrill of life felt like and been chasing that. I know theres natural supplements, amino acids and things boost dopamine acetylcholine serotonin and I just need to decide, have the funds together to purchase the supplements a nutrition replacement is good if your gonna withdraw hard then i need someone to handle my affairs first a few days while i lay in bed begging mercy from my higher power. But you have to change not only who you are but more importantly who you want to be and totally identify with being a non-user period. Not an addict trying to quit or coming clean, your still putting yourself in the addiction narrative, step completely out, Im a tee totaller, non substance using abusing fanatic and thats me Bill no pill Doe

If it was just making a decision, anyone could get clean anytime anyone gets clean it’s because of grace something more steps in and helps you along the way. Otherwise anyone could get clean anytime how many times have you tried and failed and tried and failed I made a decision I made a decision. I made a decision and fucked up again again Jane says, I’m gonna quit tomorrow. Especially now with the fentanyl people go to detox just to leave crying in pain because they have no idea how to treat it but they still take your money Ativan. That’s the best way four times a day. I know what to do you know what to do There’s so much information. It’s just hard to do. I’ve prayed and asked for help for some other being spirit God to step in and help me get there to my spiritual, authentic self. I know I’m on the wrong side of the fence and I know I will probably become a ghost if I die in this condition, and that is scary as fuck. I know that addiction was given to me because I was a pretentious bitch who hated Ale addict because my mother was an addict. And yeah, I got my ass handed to me but it’s been 20 years now. I don’t judge anyone just myself I wish you the best of luck and all the grace to guide you on your road to recovery we can do it.❤❤❤
