Man, I appreciate how you are simplifying but letting us know it isn’t the whole story. Also I appreciate your connecting neuroscience with Big Book. It is the depth and weight the big book talks about.
Thank you for referencing Dr. Johnson's book. Your presentation is informative and comprehensible. I appreciate your easy to listen to delivery of a difficult to live through process. Valuable, welcome, and helpful. Thank you.
You can't fix health anxiety. You just have to deal with it and accept that most of the time most people are very healthy. people don't need as much medication as they are taking.
I will say this. The FIRST step in recovering from addiction is learning to forgive YOURSELF and understanding that only GOD can take away the shame and guilt that is associated with an addict. An addict can hide and deceive and fool everyone, including himself, but God sees ALL things. No matter how hard you try to deal with the emotions of shame & guilt it is only when one comes to the realisation that God TRULY has FORGIVEN you that you begin to get well and allowing Him to be in control will keep you clean. Self forgiveness THROUGH Jesus is key to a clean and peaceful life.
Amen i'm on this same path.. if i use now its the guilt and shame what brings repentance , i lose the loveing pressence of the Lord. Jesus bends and twist us and gives us enough sight in our conscious to see our wrongs the Lord gives enough love to no what we are missing, but only from us addmiting our wrongs can we get on the right path..not doing the denying thing. For me its still a battle if i use though i then have this guilt thing so i repent' my time useing has more a less stopped now and there is other stuff i need to work on this video is a blessing" of more beleavers in the Lord got together and addmited there sins and wrongs and we had them values the world would be a much better place..Gods face isn't turned from us as long as we admit and stay out this denying that we are capable on our own without God i'm just an animal eating the grass of the field. God bless brother ❤
Addicts say 90% of their regrets come from their addiction? Fallacy. Dangerous fallacy. We ALL have regrets. Addicts want to be special. You are not. Your regrets are my regrets. And once you quit drugs you will see those regrets are still there and still piling up. Do not expect that getting clean will make much difference in your life. You will be disappointed. There is also no external prize for kicking your habit.
@mistafi100 No resentment. I'm trying to help by lowering expectations. You see, addicts believe that our lives will be perfect if we can just quit drugs. No. Life is suffering, as Buddha taught. The way out of suffering is to release your attachments. Drugs is just one attachment, of many.

very interesting
What about if the shame is useing the drug
Without mental defence. The addict needs repeated structure of meeting which over years of practicing steps and structure you can stop using period.
Decisional balance will help start illiciting the negative consequences from the clients' experience with addiction.
