I used to watch your content as a skater Then I watched for you photos Then you disappeared for a while and appeared again one day…. My mom just hit 1.5 years sober and it’s changed her life. She did most drugs in the book, and I’ve been through some evil things…videos like this help her, and other people looking for sobriety. I’m happy for you George, this is radical
Hey George, I have been following you since I was in middle school. I was 13-14 years old when i had found your channel. All of your skate vids were such a vibe and would watch them on repeat. You were such an to my skating journey. I am now 21 years old and got this video in my recommendation. I am very proud of you brotha, and glad to see youre doing well. I never thought you would be the type of person to smoke(which is by no means bad). You are the best man, we all have love for you.
Congratulations!!! 1 day is a big accomplishment, 90 is a miracle. Long time viewer, starting back skateboarding, having life set up to where i could do these things is all because i was able to find sobriety. I don’t know if you’re engaged in any of the programs, groups, or 12 step fellowships but I encourage you to explore and enjoy it my man. If you slip up don’t trip just keep it moving one day at a time.
i feel like this is reaching us at the perfect time... beginning of the pandemic, I tried so hard to meditate everyday but the only time my thoughts arent racing is after having some weed (oof) and trying sobriety has been such a challenge. my new therapist has changed the way I see mindfulness and acceptance and I feel like this is the first time it's starting to click. meditation is damn hard! but I'm trying to accept the heavy fleeting thoughts. i feel like this shift in your life will inspire others to try and look within, see how we're filling the void and how to adapt without substances. thank you for sharing these insights, I really feel like you're going to help people like me with your growing knowledge on mindfulness. I've been getting into ram dass, and it's changing everything for me. thank you for being you man
Also a quote I can’t remember the source, but the greatest desire should be to not desire with the absence of desire, addiction, cravings, and wants flee from you
90 days is an awesome step. You have proven you can operate without drugs and alcohol. So now there is just the truth left. If you go back, it is because you chose to. Not because you needed it but because you chose it. In 2017, I found myself drinking as an activity. So, I stopped making it an activity. I may have a craft beer once a month, but now it is a beverage and not an activity. It is simply about choices and understanding that you don't need to meditate and depend on your strength alone. There is ever-present help always available. Psalm 46:1-7: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." 1 Corinthians 10:31: Do everything to the glory of God, whether you eat, drink, or do anything else.
90 days if a big achievement, i cant get past 100 days. I recently fell off and i am back to the monthly binge cycle. Every time i get too comfortable with my sobriety i mess it up.
@georgepoulos I really don't know how many more times I can tell myself it's only once a month, it has ruined my life for nearly 20 years now and I'm still going back to it every time I'm feeling good. It feels so backwards. The support groups here are not so good, and I'm so very lost right now
I haven’t drank in like 15 years or more. I can’t stand the way it feels or that my sleep sucks when I drank. I swear alcohol is poison, not for human consumption. I do smoke weed though. Most people consider being sober as in they were on hard drugs. Hard drugs is a lot worse. Glad it’s just weed and alcohol could be worse.
Thank you for sharing your experience :) Opening space for creative freedom and presence is a beautiful perspective to lean on and I’m grateful for your insight! This is exactly what I needed to hear now 🩵

Much love friend. Really appreciate the comment! Sounds like you’re on the precipice of a beautiful journey.
Also, I love Ram Dass. Discovering him early on in my mindfulness journey was also hugely impactful.
Tnhanks for sharing your thoughts; keep going strong!!
Whats up dude, we used to play MW2 together in the mapso days. Been enjoying your contributions to the internet. Talk soon
Wow cool - good to see you here!
Good job mang!
I’m happy I watched this
Was baptized Sunday and I have had the growing urge not to alter my consciousness ever since
There’s something beautiful about a pure and unaltered consciousness.
Been considering sobriety for a while, thanks for sharing
Love you man been watching you for a minute
Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats! You should try fixed gear!

Thank you. It took me many tries to get here. Hey, There’s no shame in starting again🙏🏼❤️ sending you love and support my friend

@@Squirrel_Warriors Have you got a meditation practice?
@georgepoulos I have a very simple breathing exercise I do, but not I don't have a proper meditation exercise
@@georgepoulos I can't switch off from the world to be able to get any benefit from meditation. The stress is always there.

Appreciate you!
You need to start a yap streak. Consider today day 1.
Oh I think daily yapping in 2025 starting now is a real possibility.
