Your channel update now ❤

What a great conversation. Miss you my friend :-)

It's hard when they see the boundaries as a game of challenge

I did set boundaries, even as trivial as I'm going to bed early they would intentionally call 45 minutes to 2 hours after knowing I was asleep. Then later use it against me. If I didn't mention a bedtime. No phone call

Hello Madam, I recently came across your TH-cam channel and was impressed by the quality of your content. I noticed some areas, like your thumbnails and tags, that could be optimized for better reach. If you’re interested, I’d love to discuss strategies to enhance your channel's growth.

If only I knew how easy it would be, it’s been over 2 years and I don’t have any cravings at all, for me the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal, not even within the first 30 days after go’ogling and following Steffon Barkload’s advice and quitting because I just wanted to.

Exactly, it's a fact that quitting booze not only makes your world a better place to be in, good things start to “magically” happen and the energy is insane! Steffon Barkload's latest work, that’s the best shortcut I go’ogled that took less than a week to work without suffering withdrawal.

I had forgotten what real energy felt like, yeah, it’s been over 2 years and I don’t crave the stuff anymore, surprisingly I didn’t suffer withdrawal and that was key, not even within the first days after go’ogling Steffon Barkload’s latest and quitting because I wanted to with no pressure or anything.

IDK if I was lucky, but it’s been over 9 months and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal after go’ogling and reading Steffon Barkload’s stuff, not even within the first 30 days after I quit and told no one, did not need AA meetings or meds either.

I am so glad this episode popped up on my algorithm list tonight. Im a divorced, 51 yr old recovering addict, and proud father of a 14 yr old daughter. I have 6 yrs clean and sober. I can't wait to dive into more episodes.

There is no up close support! You can pay thousands of dollars which no one has these days; or get stuck with very scary people

That was then

Loved this and can relate one of bills friends 21 years

I think addicts do choose to relapse. “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”-Rush By failing to choose, each and every day, to make choices that support recovery, addicts choose to slip back into old patterns of behavior, thereby deciding they are willing to lose their sobriety. And addict who isn’t prioritizing sobriety is an addict not in recovery. It’s a choice.

It was awful!!! It was hard! I needed support and so I bit the bullet… I literally have a strong stance that no one will really get well with AA. The person on the phone was like… are you drinking? Nope. But are you drinking? Still nope… but are you drinking? I literally looked at my husband like what the actual hell is happening right now? Do I need a blood test? Urine test? I said no!

I am with you, feels like a wilderness period . My anxiety as your client is that everyone I know drinks. I even one night reached out to AA which is the worst mistake! I don’t want to disparage anyone going to AA. I am in a place where I need a buddy when it gets hard so you have a place. I made the call because we had a death in the family and I was sick. I just needed up close support

I am going to spend the day with my hubby who has supported me through this journey

Not everyone is on FB

Glad you finally did this❤

chill and get out of my damn face

I’m going to school on valentines day and spend my day with my friend and do what makes me happy❤

HOW DOES AN ACTRESS WHOSE A SEX ADDICT NOT HAVE REAL ORGASM ON CAMERA LIKE IN DEADLY ILLUSIONS

How I became the stop drinking expert was firstly I went to rehab and whilst in there getting a bit of time up without using any drugs or alcohol I realised I can actually live life without this crap and a dam good life also. No more hang overs feeling like shit having to apologize to everyone for my behaviour the night before no having to be around people that use abuse lie steal and cheat of you.. Thank God.. I don't even do meetings because there is too many dickheads in the rooms.. You can do this also don't give up.. Peace Freedom Love..

I was told by my doctor paws lasts in months the years you drank up to two years . So if you drank 20 years paws can last 20 months

Awesome interview with Amy Dresner. Amy reminded me a bit of myself. Yes, I am buying her book.

How can I get the workbook

Great video. I really needed this. I have been in a continual war in my mind to break my sobriety. To make a long story short. My girlfriend who is a diagnosed scitzophrenic placed herself into a mental hospitol with saying a word. I found out two days later. Three weeks have since passed. So i have been all alone in this. The cravings have been very intense. I have been sober over 20 months now. I plan to keep running everyday which is helping me through.

I loved AA in my early 20s (am 41), struggled through my 30's, have had years before, went back and forth, eventually got to the point I can no longer relate to drinking and just stopped the older I got but still following some kind of spiritual solution (meditation, prayer, self talk, cold showers, etc). Recently went back and left after about 3 meetings because one person I knew for 10 + years, I went off on him. His mother abused him similar to how my father abused me, and I told him this big epiphany (as I was sure he would understand and possibly tell me "yeah I could have told you that"), it was about why there are things about me I hate and how I have been treating myself like my father treated me, I was asking him if he ever did that mimicking his mother (this is stuff you learn by inventorying stuff btw) and he told me to "quit over thinking it". He told me to "shut my brain off" which infuriated me because that is EXACTLY how my abusive father has ALWAYS thought (and he is a sociopath). I went off on him (and I was respectful, think of standing up to a co worker firmly without causing too much of a scene). Then another person and him ganged up on me, they are obviously less mentally balanced than I am which is sad. I cornered them verbally with facts (I have been a Big Book thumper in the past, got to know the literature REALLY well to debunk BS like that) and told them I am not overthinking a damn thing. So you tell me out of one corner of your mouth to work the steps, then out of the other not to work the steps...what in the hell do you want? I walked out, tired of these types of shenanigans and games (there are other things this guy has done that were petty high school things concerning me trying to be friendly towards him and he is an old timer when I was calling just to say hello sober but not going to meetings). I am in the process of joining the Catholic church and if people are actively practicing those teachings, they are working the steps. That is the point of the AA program, not mindless meeting attendance, trusting in God somehow and living in accordance with His will.

I was very interested in Jenn and her sober minded after listening to this podcast. She only talked about herself and everything she knew. It seemed like an “I” conversation. Kind of a let down.

I love the point made about being a selfish person with an addiction and remembering who you were before you were an addict. I truly believe that people who want to recover make the mistake of believing that they were never a good person and then resort to using again because they feel defeated in their mind.

"he will be at your funeral because you died of a heart attack thinking you could have done something" Most profound statement!

All makes so much sense, alcoholism was a symptom of an underlying problem now being addressed :)!!

Quit weed 63 days ago to find PAWS is real. A lot of what you said is the same for ex weed users as well. Just got through 3 days of severe paws. I quit drinking 14 years ago and didn't suffer PAWS as bad as I am now with quitting weed. Thank you for your insight it does help!

I left aa 8 months ago. Thank you for sharing your story. AA definitely got me sober, but I was ready to grow as well.

Enjoyed this conversation. I’m feeling burned from AA but finding myself isolating and frustrated when my AA friends seem to be putting my meeting attendance as a contingency on our relationship. I love how both of you spin everything positively. Thanks
