Here’s someone who was able to overcome addiction, start his own business, and his life is now thriving! A Story Worth Telling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je4AFh-plfA&t=199s
New AOD counselor. Need some visuals to present to my process groups. Something to backup what I say. Some in my groups are skeptics. (Denial)
Thanks! Helful video!
I can never get addicted to anything since im too lazy so ill always just be like “eeeeh ill do it later”
I wonder how many marriages have ended because of this? Do these people see their kids later? Do their kids even want to see them?
Can this lead to induced brain disease? What happens when your synapses essentially get blown out? What happens when the party stops?
They eventually won’t be able to feel anything pleasurable. Everything will be just be blah and be unable to cope. They are sacrificing daily partying, for the health and well-being of their future. And they won’t even be able to enjoy it even when something pleasurable is there 🤷
While they’re going through this addiction, I wouldn’t recommend people engaging in intimate relations with them.
Be careful when people are engaging in risky behavior. You don’t want the same side effects they would be getting. And I don’t mean stuff from the brain. There’s societal side effects and such.
An-Nur 24:24-24
(24) يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
(24) On a Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.
i have a friend who use to abuse mdma, speed and 2cb. she still smokes weed and drinks alcohol but she has stopped doing those dangerous drugs. i sometimes wish she wouldn’t even touch alcohol and weed again because her brain has got fucked up bc of drugs and so have her lungs from smoking weed and nicotine as well.. i sometimes worry for her, but im sure she’ll be fine
is love also a kind of addiction? Cause every times I thinking of somebody I love, I feel the pleasure and weakening strongly.
love is one of the most powerful addictive things, you can find videos with all kinds of addictive actions and their level of power
@A squirrel also the withdrawals you get from doing something like that to me feel like my body telling me “don’t do that if you don’t want to feel like crap” so I wouldn’t feel much of a desire to redosing personally with something like that.. I’ve heard very different things from other people tho.. interesting stuff imo
She’s not fine and won’t be if she feels the need to do these things. I’m not one to have a say in other peoples lives but get her help before it’s too late and if not oh well it’s not my life so I really don’t care but I’m just tryna help
Welcome to the world of drugs, a very dark slippery slope.
can you pls open the option for translation?
Hi, can you please open the option to translate
thank u for this kinda information.
What like? Genuine question
@ironboy junior I would just be there for her. Trying to get her to quit the alcohol and weed will only make her resent you (besides you said she was only smoked three times a week so I wouldn’t worry too much). Ask her how her day was, go out for coffee, and just be a friend for her. That will go a lot further than trying to help her because people can really only help themselves.
Quite a few years ago there was a BBC lunchtime news feature on a trial to cure chemical addiction. It was reported to be +90% effective in the trials so far.
It worked by measuring the frequency of the drug and then passing electrical current of the same frequency through 2 electrodes the patient held in their hands.
This caused the body to quickly start to excrete the substance out through the skins pores.
The clinic room even had an en-suite shower to wash it all off.
I forgot all about it for years and now can find no mention of it on the net.
I wish I had recorded it but I had missed the very start of the feature and thought I’ll just record the evening news and get the whole thing. It wasn’t on the evening news however.
Me rambling here and posting what I want to say. Well, I’m addicted to swimming 🏊♀️ I smoked a cigar from my cousin and was never ever interested. I been drinking wine on occasion but quit cold turkey and never went back to it again. Instead, I bought some grape juice and put that in a wine glass and treat it like wine. 👍
I’m that way with weed I didn’t smoke mine for the past few days I was too lazy and in bed lol
Lol thats not how addiction works
@Perrie Styles not getting the joke be like
kinda yes, kinda no¿
love is a kind of addiction, if it’s bad it just depends if it goes from that to obsession, or if that love is not healthy
It is important to mention caffeine (coffee), video games, social networks. These are also addictions.
True I damaged my brain due to uncontrolled use of social media and playing video games. My will power is weak like hell now. And I can’t do a thing. Wasted a lot of time and energy. And I have a huge depression and suffering from OCD(still on medication for OCD)
Everything like depression OCD increases after addiction.
If this continues I’ll probably waste my life
I use to take drugs 2years and now I have stop using it then to I feel like I am in drugs all the time my brain doesn’t work as it work like before time when I don’t use drugs
What
@Rampart Hmm3 thanx bro.
Also did you just write all these just for me? Really appreciated.
I’ll try to improve. 🙂
@sigma swan yes, why not. You’re welcome! I suffered and had similar problems with nerves, or as they say, mental disorders. I want to share my experience in solving it and I’m glad if that could help to someone, although we are all different. Try not to make changes too quickly and sudden, but more gradually one by one.
Thanks for the video.
“Addiction is not due to weakness, or a lack of will power.” Why do addictive substances affect people differently? I had a couple of surgeries a few years ago, took opioids to handle the pain. When the pain was tolerable, I stopped.Taking the pain meds felt really great, but I also knew in my mind thru common sense that I couldn’t take them forever without negative effects. Why was I not “hooked?” Please advise.
This is more of a psychological thing. You stopped after the drug did its purpose and was no longer necessary, even if it felt great. Many people, who are addicted to pain killer or opoids, don’t stop at that phase due to a different mindset such as “it feels soo good, I’ll continue to take it”. Then starts the addiction.
Its great that you stopped before it was too late, but as the video states, its not a lack of willpower or anything. You approached the drug and viewed it as it was prescribed to you: a drug that will make the pain more tolerable. Addicts view the drug through a different light: a means of earning happiness and that “high” that, although lasts for temporary moments, gives them a great deal of satisfaction.
I hope you understand now. Godspeed to ya.
Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
