Multiple levels in this thing we call life and you have so much strength in your soul keep creating because you are helping those who put up this fake guard of toughness and “I got this” that we all hide behind break free and be transparent and open to love. I have my own vices in life and I battle those daily and hope to be free one day but I want to allow myself to see my inner super hero to inspire others and help those in need
I didn’t realize how bad my drug habits had gotten until I got kicked out of school and had to move back in with my parents. It took me so long to accept that I had become an addict but after watching you and others I’ve realized it isn’t something to be ashamed of and I’m doing much better today and I’m back in school and working. Thank you for all you do
Great video, I’m actually in pain because my brother is an addict and the drugs he uses causes him to have mental illness and schizophrenia. I just found out what he was doing and it broke me however I finally realized that I was in denial for years and I’m angry at myself and my family. I feel like we all failed him. I’m now seeking counseling and treatment for my anxiety and depression. After I realized what he’s been doing i had panic attacks back to back for 4 days straight. I really love my brother and I just want him to have a better life and be happy healthy and safe. I just want my big brother back. 🥺
This hit me be ause I'm an addict got hooked on codeine after an operation at 16 where I was put on a morpine drip and then it escalated to using codeine daily, illicet morpine and heroin. I got onto a methadone programme a few years ago lost even more weight, no motivation, interest in anything but getting the next fix you know the classic cliche. Then I entered a Christian rehab with over 30 other addicts and spent the best part of a month withdrawing from the methadone... The Insomnia was the worst didn't sleep for the best part of a fortnight. But yeah I got through it and eventually had a great experience working at the rehab landscaping, woodwork etc Then I made the rash decision to leave after three months (recommended a full year) And low and behold I got back on the opiates and I'm now still on Subutex 16mg (Buprenorphine) prescribed although I am tapering down slowly but surely. I'm struggling with Benzodiazepines particularly atm Etizolam being the main one it takes away the anxiety, depression I feel daily. Obviously isn't the answer I know... Anyway.... I just wanted to say that your words really touched me. I'm the older sibling and my sister couldn't be more different from me tbh and I worry about the effect my addiction has had in her particularly aswell as my parents and friends. Thanks for sharing 🙂
@@johnbambrough3189 thank you for sharing also ❤️ I dedicated many years of my life working in drug addiction treatment and mental health trying to understand people outside of the “basic” stigmas and I believe it was the best thing I could do to try to understand, so I totally get how hard it is to have an addiction and how easy it is to get sucked in. Many people have different reasons and I don’t judge any of them, life is hard and so is addiction it is a disease. I’m really glad you are concerned about how it affects your sister many people don’t think about how much affects their loved ones. Always remember before you try to get clean for anyone do it for yourself. Self love is very strong. If you love yourself you can love others. I wish you the best on your journey John,, you never know how your journey helps others in the smallest or biggest ways!
Hi Jack, I'm watching you right now all the way from Nairobi, Kenya. Got linked to your channel after coming across your insightful, inspiring and most eloquent interview @CG Kid's. I see great things ahead for you my brother, be blessed...
Super Hero Mentality got me in trouble when I was trying to help people with problems larger than my own. Choosing my battles and having a support system around me is something that has helped a lot! Family, Community, Bonds, Books, Information, Advice, self reflection and hindsight, all helped me talk and understand myself, my actions and my surroundings better
@@Wandering841 we are never rendered useless. People are places in our lives for a season and reason. We don’t get to choose how long the season last nor what that reason was for. What we get is a chance to suit up and show up. Keep suiting up and keep showing up you are needed
Everything you just said is what makes you a super hero. Knowing how to use everything in your super hero tool belt and when to use them is what makes you a SUPER HERO
@@PEER2PEERWHOLEWELLNESS i agree, I just believe that not everybody has access to these tools I have. I myself didn’t have access to all of this at the same time like I do now. Being born into poverty, being born with exterior disadvantages that inhibit the capacity to be able to recognize, be motivated or even TRY to better yourself to become a super hero. I believe we all have that ability, it’s a matter of the system not being there for us, but I’d like to change that and have government take care of our communities to make more super heroes instead of more victims to crime, poverty, drugs, police and depression.
These videos just keep getting better and better. You have been through so much that you sound like a real life Superhero to me! The more I hear of your story, I am amazed at how much you continuously give back to your community. You are so inspiring and interesting..I could listen to you talk all day. I wish I could be as mellow and chill as you are. My depression and anxiety get the best of me. Sadly I was not blessed with cool genes. 😎
