USE THIS SECRET To Free Yourself From ADDICTION... | Russell Brand

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ธ.ค. 2019
- This is Part 2 of a two-part series on recovery with Russell Brand.
Very few of us are free from some form of addiction - alcohol, sugar, sleeping pills, sex, Instagram, co-dependent relationships, the list goes on. Russell points out that all our addictions stem from a common problem: spiritual disconnection. But when we admit we have a problem, believe in real change, accept help from others, and hand over our will and control to a higher power, we can begin to find freedom from our addictions.
Listen to the rest of this episode on the Commune Podcast with Jeff Krasno. To hear more from Russell, sign up for his upcoming Recovery course on Commune (onecommune.com/recovery) or check out his Luminary podcast, Under the Skin (luminary.link/russell @hearluminary).
ABOUT RUSSELL
Russell Brand is an award-winning comedian, actor, author, public thought leader and a passionate activist for mental health and drug rehabilitation. He is one of the most recognizable and best-loved comedy performers in the world, with a series of sold-out tours, best-selling DVDs, and a number of major film roles to his name. He is also the author of seven books, including Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, and Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped.
ABOUT JEFF
I have had a lot of jobs: co-founder & CEO of Commune, co-founder and co-CEO of Wanderlust, board member at Pure Edge. I have authored of a couple of books, built a big wellness studio, developed a retreat center, brokered large-scale brand partnerships and created VOD platforms. Oprah even selected me to be part of the SuperSoul 100, a group of 100 top entrepreneurs.
Aside from being a dad to 3 horrible-adorable daughters, there is no job more humbling than hosting the Commune podcast. Every week, I interview people with esoteric expertise who are 10 times smarter than me. My nightstand turned into a tower of books as I cram for these interviews, learning everything from the fundamental nature of reality to the neuro-chemistry of the brain. It’s been an incredible challenge to deliver transformational content every Tuesday (and not embarrass myself). I hope you enjoy it!

Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they help you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of Dr.benfungi. Did straight shrooms in few days. Left me like a blank slate after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. Shit saved my life, all thanks to Dr.benfungi
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your friend decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
As someone with 20 years of hardcore substance abuse I've finally seeked out help, therapy and came out to my family about needing help/genuinely wanting to stop for the first time. Almost 2 weeks clean now which is huge for me. Thanks for sharing this 🤙great convo!
That's HUGE! Congrats to you. We're rooting for you!
@@OneCommune I appreciate it my homie. I was doin coke and speed at age 14 graduated to heavy opiates. Been clean of the hard stuff for years but i had been struggling really hard with the bottle and kratom the last few years. It feels good to feel more normal. Only stuff i take is caffeine and kava nowadays and im feeling so much better already. I feel much more accountable having spoken up and being dead serious about my addiction. Ive been arrested, gotten a dui, been in fights, been a borderline abusive jerk...enough is enough. Im nice and very productive normally until the bottle touched my lips.
I am rocking this. I'm fighting an addiction right now.
Good job. I am battling abuse, it's been too long. Keep going;)
Hope you’re still doing good guys x
Keep it up - Same boat right now - 30 days
I’ll have a year on March 25th. I’ve lost so many good, good friends to addiction! I feel like I’ve made it out somewhat intact. I’ve taken the steps, made use of therapy, and immersed myself in a fellowship of recovery. I live in a recovery house (Oxford-there’s probably one near you). I’m learning how to live without shame. I just hope that you never ever give up on yourself, that you never stop trying. We can make it through this day
@@michaelsalehi2702 That's awesome. Stay strong guys.
Russell Brand isn't on something, he's onto something
Being someone who is battling with addiction and relapse and witnessing the difficulty first hand at accessing the appropriate help, this man just naturally connects with fellow addicts and non addicts alike. actually feel like i can do this.
Russel is a Legend!
Well said Ben. I’m in the same battle with you bro. We’ll overcome this. How’s your addiction going these days? Mine is still pretty intense, lots of relapsing.
Fighting a pain killer addiction now , hopefully get some help from these videos
You can do it.👍☀️
Hey Scott, how are you doing? I’m in recovery myself and would be glad to connect with you if you’d like.
@@andrew2732 cool , how u getting on man
Just keep studying NA, self help, psychology maybe. People that have been there basically and know what the feck there on about. Its that important mate, you either get with this and look for another way to do things, or keep looking at things that will kill you, or just as bad take everything you own from you and show you absolute hell on earth with no joy around anywhere.❤
@@smokey3570 Did you get help ? Its the first step, even if its a maintanance chemical help. There's no shame, use the time to form a plan. The human body is amazing, it will heal and joy can return. But when your grateful for joy and been able to smile again its so much better.
The two of you are beautiful together. It's also interesting to me to see that when speaking with Jeff, who speaks slowly and calmly, Russell appears to speak in a manner that is slower and calmer than his usual self. This is actually wonderful for those listening to the conversation because Russell is a brilliant man with with incredible knowledge and facility of expression, but not everyone can process the information as quickly as he delivers it. And some of the information can therefore be missed on the part of the listeners. I don't know if Russell is making a conscious effort to speak calmly and more slowly but I can definitely say that when speaking with Jeff, this side of Russell comes out. Thank you both for your wonderful work and God bless! You are both beautiful in all possible ways!
I Love Russell Brand’s vocabulary as much as what he’s saying. Gracias Russell 💜
Father God thank you for Russell keep teaching and using him to help others
In Jesus name! ❤
I just woke up this morning (shall I just leave it there?) and thought, my life is fucked and is damaging, not only to me but those around me through addiction and unfulfilling activities. A lot of what that Russell Brand character guy says really resonates with me. I was a good person once, and can be again maybe? I'll watch some of his stuff as he's clearly spent a lot of time experiencing similar shit to me. Well, here I am and thanks. I think I might try and enlighten myself. I'm not at all academic but I understood every word of this conversation, and all of it makes sense.
Jordan peterson has some great videos on getting your life together. His appearances on joe rogan's podcast helped me a lot- maybe give them a listen if you haven't heard of him
You are like clay, moldable always. Keep Going.
Greg Smith it’s impossible to get clean alone. As Russell has said previously, his best thinking got him to the state of rock bottom. Drug taking is a symptom of a spiritual malady. The 12 step programme offers a solution and the fellowship of NA or AA offers a wealth of support and guidance on tap, all free. I wish you well 🙏❣️
Check out Joe Dispenza too!!!
Of course you are that person already.. It is your true essence..
Hope you have found some answers..
It is always good to reach out and express
I have struggled with addiction since poppas passing. Thank god for for the heroes like Russell Brand, Lynsey Lohan, Robert Downey Junior, George Carlin, Matthew Perry, Robin Williams, Dr. Mate and others that have helped me along the way.
His breakdown of the cult of "science" was.... brilliant. Fantastic. Spot on. Perfect
I want to join Russell's self governing comune!
I love the way he grabbed his hand and put it straight back on his foot 😅
It was the best thing I ever did was to receive treatment from addiction did AA and NA went to detox twice and rehab for 3 months and now I'm a year sobriety
I never thought I'd like so much coming from Russell Brand! Just finished watching both part 1 & 2 after a friend in AA recommended them and I'm about to watch another RB video!
Sitting down with people who have lived experience as been a life changing for us on our channel. Addiction is tough, but I believe we need to do better as a community and ensure that we defeat stigma, as well as support people so that less and less people turn to addiction.
@16:40 The interviewer Jeff made an EXCELLENT point about applying the 12 steps to a country and using step 5 to be accountable for the harm caused by that country. Brilliant! Unfortunately, I think Russell missed the opportunity to explore what he brought up, and instead went on an adjacent point for whatever reason. I was truly surprised because I really admire and agree with 95% of what Russell says. Oh well, at least Jeff brought it up.
If you read this comment, please consider your country's need for atonement in order to truly resolve the spiritual/emotional/psychological issues it has that are probably the symptoms of not addressing those imperialist/colonial/capitalist wounds.
they start talking about it again later in the video 23:23
Work on yourself first
I’m hurting for my brother who is an alcoholic
Your grace is giving me some relief as hope from the pain of feeling helpless
Thank you Russell Brand. 4 days completely clean and sober since about 10 years old. I am 69. In a wonderful 24/7 AA women's group with women all of the world. Have a great sponsor who I promised I would push a peanut up a hill with my nose if she asked me too. Meant that. Call her every day and we are working the steps. I, of course, still love your politics, your meditations, well everything about you. We are very similar in many ways. I have been famous for a minute, on the front page, and of course not for good behavior. Ha! Respect you, adore you. I'm a lesbian, have no teeth etc. but would shamefully throw myself at you if I close enough to it. Thank you for e3verything!
Russell what a beautiful articulate soul you are. Thank you for being here in the most passionate, graceful and honest way. You are such an inspiration. Love you. 💗🙏
What little gems are here,listening to my mate Russell or at least he feels like my mate because he talks so honestly and openly and that is something which seems to be hard to find in everyday interactions sometimes.
Such a beautiful conversation and message for humanity.
💛🙏💛
The caveat (asterisk) with these kind, wise and generous videos, is that most people who suffer from addiction aren't rich, handsome, charismatic celebrities who can start on the road to recovery by spending three months in a luxury rehabilitation facility receiving daily therapy and quietly contemplating their beautiful surroundings like Thoreau at Waldon pond.
@Juji-Gatame yeah more social pressure.
There are twelve step programs for poor, ugly, unpopular people too. The programs are everywhere and for everybody.
Thank u Russell, ur amazing and I 100% support your views... Love you for just being u and speaking ur views which I believe are totally the truth. God bless u xxx
I am going to rehab in an hour. Been planning for about 2-3 weeks. Doing it for myself first and foremost, but my family as well. I am terrified. Wish me luck.
Thank you Russell
Everything what you say comes so much to the essenz of the cause, the emotions the feelings the experience, the vision to free ourselves from this addiction,is so close so near, i am working still a little on the cigarettes, but meditation Prayer, Kundalini help a lot.Thank you so much. ❤🔥
Magnificent stuff ❤👏🙏
Very good! Awesome ! You are a beautiful man , man ! Always inspired by you Rus , thanks more than i can say for being you ! Namaste 🤗
Absolutely beautiful
Awe, the way Russell grabbed his hand in the beginning
God is found in silence & this world is full of noise so it’s important to take time for silence every day
Amazing 👍😊
Silence for me is nothing but ringing I my ears
Try using a fan or some other kind of white noise. I have ringing in my ears too. And a small industrial fan works for me.
I'm gonna do this ✊✊✊
Yes Marashi
You are
god/tao/love
there are no flaws!
You are both beautiful!!!
A lie straight from Satan in the garden of Eden "ye shall be as Gods"
Brilliant! As real as a dollar bill.
Yup. Extremely fake.
I see you both have your Matrix plug-in points directly behind your heads.
#haveanice
Me.. an old serial relapse alcoholic..now having one more try to stay sober ..
“They taste with their feet”
As Russell grabs his foot while drinking water.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Day 2
Yes u are 💯they are too rich and to powerful. Big pharmaceutical, power companies and more. Keep their foot on are necks.
Sounds like Wayne Dyer asking Russel Brand questions
He is a Handsome Man, Smart just Amazing 😻 I wish they made duplicates of him in a “Gay model” can you imagine having a lover like him, Mind-blowing🤯 and he is Spiritual too😇
You have missed the whole point...
How did u know
Marishi taught me
12 steps about the "NA" Program ...
I feel really stupid listening to you, but I'm grateful. My dumb ass will get well. Fuck help me God
im addicted, to porn, weed, hmmmmm lying to myself, what else, i like to smoke and then eat, thats a problem. porn thing is just crazy but have to kick that to. Those are my battles.
The 12 step programme advices us not to have opinions on outside matters. Russel is entitled to his opinion but not as a spokesman for AA or NA.
Where’s possible get information about the 12 step programme? Thank you 😊
@@rita338 Find an AA meeting near you. And get the Big Book.
Russell never mentions AA or NA by name.
He mentions 12 step programmes constantly. The core tennet of these programmes lies in that all actions are undertaken in the spirit of anonymity, principles over personality.
jennifer raynes
Thank you 😊
Addiction haa nothing to do whit freespm as u describe
It has more to do whit damage of pain receptors (opioids
I LOVE TO BE KURWA NOT EGGZISTED
Chesty advice... that guy is king with a beard
Am allowed comments coz I'm not allowed
Hey Russell ;). please try. . . . . . origami! ! ! ! ;). a n d Don't give up! Your brain will develop new clean pathways, and you will sharpen your intention. . . . and have fun! everything goes away, only the flower or the dragon or rat or a fifty nine step YODA remains. Same thing with beading, and yes men bead, well native men do, and you don't hafto be ndn just enjoy creating, weaving, drawing and painting, sculpting... Maybe you already do, I don't know, I just know these exercises are what saves my self and helps me be happy, later love you!
Load of crap.
Ew.
Feet.
Man bun.
Self conscious affectation.
