Don't let go. It is worth it, you are worth it. My DOS is 11/14/04. Get to a meeting or go to zoom meetings online. Make contact with other people that are trying to stay clean as well. One day at a time.
I love it when men have open dialogs like this, it validates me as a women, when I hear men admit their weaknesses and it is so amazing when they reach a point of maturity and seak out other men to grow with. ❤❤ and men are so funny about it too. 😂
Yea I get that. The 24 seven access to social media, porn dating website, and the ability to just swipe left is ruining people when it comes to social connection.
I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Alcohol and cigarettes addiction destroyed my life, i suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife 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.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
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 helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. 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. I will pray for you all.
I love Theo, he's so honest with his addictions and downfalls. He's so genuine. It really helps people relate and know that they're not alone with their addiction to porn and the way it affects your life.
is porn an addiction per say. i mean is masterbating before bed an addiction no most would say its healthy . yet if your single do you all think its healthier to think about past ex periences? cos guys dont imagine things like women
@@aarondavid5866porn can be an addiction. If you’re spending all day thinking about when you’re gonna watch porn and what porn you’re going to watch, you’re addicted. It also can ruin sex in a relationship because sex becomes more of a performance and you want to recreate what you see in porn. I quit 3 years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done
When Dan explained the "same feeling" he got when doing the "house tour" as waiting on his dealer to "give him a bump" I completely resonated with that. A scenario I was familiar with was waiting to be served at a bar. That impatience. That frustration like hurry up. In my opinion he was practicing some form of mindfulness practice like meditation at that time of his life when he had the "house tour" to have conciously realised that same feeling / connecting the trigger dots. Inspiring and informative. Thanks for uploading this.
@@getstuk87I'll chime in my 2 cents (+25 yrs) everybody is struggling in one or more areas of their life. Sometimes it can't be seen from the outside. One of the advantages of going to 12 step meetings is you can hear about others, some with significant clean time, and the challenges and solutions they have found, in many different areas of life, spiritual, physical etc..
8 months on the 10th of April went to the hospital in western Canada to get into rehab early. Asking begging to help turned away security broke my back. My days r over never fuken use again! Lol
@@getstuk87The brain uses drugs for a reason, and it's terrified to be off of them for that same reason. I'm sure you've experienced the crazy leaps of logic it will come up with to justify "what about just this once" a hundred times. Your question sounds like a brain terrified to face sobriety, which is super common and nothing to be ashamed of, but it's scrambling to come up with a justification on why you shouldn't try. And it decided on "maybe it's impossible, and it could never work for me, so it would be a waste of time" as its reason. But that's just fear; it's a way of delegating authority and saying "Ah, okay. It's because I'm Type F, or whatever, so it's not my fault. It's out of my control, and not my responsibility to improve". Let's say you're never 22 years sober. Let's say every three months you fall off the wagon. That's still 3 months of not using! Over a year that's still three quarters of a year you're clean! Spread out further, that's three quarters of the rest of your life that's yours. That's way better than zero! You should try, because even moderate success is worth it. Find a group to support you, try a different one if the first doesn't work for you. Trying and failing at three systems and succeeding at the fourth is still success, and you never would have found the fourth without the first three attempts. It's all part of the solution, even the failures along the way.
@@getstuk87greatest quote ever: Whether you think you can or cant, youre right. You can do it.... fear, doubt, worry, are negative states of mind that can be overcome no matter who you are.
Loved this. Theo is reuniting the world. Just went through a rough breakup and seeing these two collab was the first moment of joy I’ve had since then.
I just went through a bad breakup and I got 5 years sober off alcohol and 6 years clean of drugs I got a badass mountain bike and I'm huge in the mountain biking I do 20 mi a day but it gets better man it gets easier 8 days before past Christmas was when my ex up and left😢😢❤❤❤
6 months sober, I didnt know theo or dax suffered with the disease but tits great to see some faces of entertainment openly talk about recovery. love this
unless youre religious AA pretty much is a joke cause #1 is to give yourself over to higher power they told me to pray to my coffee cup if nothing else..... like who the fck says shit like that.. AA thats who
dax is such a big inspiration for my sobriety, hes one of the few who are dead honest about relapses and falling off the wagon here and there, because so many people and groups and treatment centers make you feel BAD for making a mistake as opposed to asking why and just accepting it was a mistake, i know from experience and as time goes by Dax looks healthier, sounds healthier and seems to be in a great place again. Its awesome to see
@@EvadingmotoOh hush, it’s harm reduction and not nearly as destructive as alcohol, cocaine, etc. The reason people refuse to get sober is because of behaviors like yours.
I put nicotine on the same level as caffeine. Maybe not for everyone, but for me it was. What made nicotine so harmful was the fact that the tobacco industry mixed it with carcinogens. In vape form its much less harmful.
5 years sober. This is exactly what I'm going through right now. I couldn't imagine having money and some fame. On top, my issues…sheesh… Thanks for sharing DAX, I needed that. I've quarantined myself until I figured this out lol right now I'm single, and I accidentally slide too much lol,
Dude 12step programs I feel in my opinion is only way to go to become fully recovered from a hopeless and helpless state of mind and body. Love this episode! This was great.
When physical pain and mental health collided I needed peace that was lots of drugs and alcohol!! I remember very little of my childhood and the parts I do REMEMBER I WISH I DIDN'T!!! TRAUMATIC IS A VERY POWERFUL WORD!!
Ya nothing wrong with that. I’ve learned that I have to let my addictive side out otherwise I’m back on the o’s and the b’s in no time. I don’t have another OD in me so I’ll just keep playing video games lol.
Dax is right, you can tell the most insane shit in a meeting and no one is shocked. They smile and shake their heads. Hard to find that outside the rooms.
@@Largetalons It is, but man I’m talking awful shit and no one is remotely shocked. The hand of AA is always there…doesn’t matter what anyone has done. 👍
To all yall trying to get or maintaining sobriety, i appreciate you. Dont give up, youll feel better long term. A lot of us know how hard that shit is, and we got a mile of respect for you.
Santa Marta , Colombia..stayed there in ‘91. Big courtyard in the middle of the hotel with tables & chairs plus a bar serving drinks on the honour system( just mark down what you drink) As soon as the main doors were locked at 7pm, the lines were drawn on the tables…totally mind blowing
addiction is brutal. Im a sugar addict trying to stay on carnivore. The cravings are intense and can even hurt my jaw at their peak. Its woth trying to push through your addictions and be in a better place.
Same. Sugar addiction and caffeine. I myself couldn’t go a day without sweet tea or cola. I only remember just feeling irritated or feeling like I’m missing something when I didn’t make a gallon of sweet tea. I was tricking myself by thinking in my head, I’m not putting tons of sugar, so I’m doing good👍🏼. Except I’m drinking sugar in high amounts regardless daily. I started sweet tea to stop my cola addiction. But ya basically just substituting one sugar addiction for another.
“Like a collective sigh” and “I know what it’s like to fuck up in that exact way” almost made me cry. Real connection is what helps us. Sometimes I’ll wake up from a flash back type nightmare to the worst days of my life, and sitting in bed alone for the next 10 or 20 minutes is so hard to decide alone, I’m gonna get up and ignore the fact that I’ve fucked up before. Even if everyone does it being in your own head and feeling alone is so hard.
When that swell of craving hits me it's torture. It usually stays with me for 2 days or so and I can't stop thinking about the drug even though I don't want it at all. Sober for 2 years and it still hits me hard.
That’s what sucks the most. Today I was jonesing hard… so I made some food, sat down to eat and stumbled across this video. Theo could help a lot of people if he brought on sober addicts atleast once a month
The first thought will come; that is natural. If I don't water the thought I can think about something else and it passes. HALT. Hungry, angry,, lonely, tired. Drink? When was the last time I've eaten?
I'm seven days in. I've been on and off through this whole year. I turned 31 this year but all my 20's were shit faced most of it. I didnt struggle with my dad being a shit faced drunk or occasional and truly gave an example to not do it. I've come to realize that him having 3 male kids, down the line they would become fathers and role models so he laid a truly foundation for us to stay down that line. I became a dad on my 28th birthday with a beautiful daughter exactly on my birthday, we share the same exact date, Im not going to lie that ever since she's being on this earth Ive dranked and I realize I cant no longer go down that route anymore. I now have a calendar in front of this computer labeled each days and every day it says do not drink. I checked every day and just remind myself that only for today I will not drink. Im now committed and I don't want to throw away all that effort. I listen to theo, rich roll, Jordan Peterson. I don't have any drug addictions. I just need to break free from this chain. stay strong fellas. do something else.
The way theo describes the group dynamic in recovery is perfect. Its such a weird feeling. Especially if youve never experienced it before, which loads of us havent.
I love the connection I feel to these men in this conversation. I've been addicted to alcohol weed nicotine and porn for 30 something years now and I'm finally realizing the pain involved. It's a multi faceted pain. Mental emotional, physical, spiritual. I asked myself how much pain can I withstand so I can feel awesome for a little while. It's just not worth it. Besides, sober joy is so much better and there's no hangover. ❤
I love listening to Dax talk about those self-awareness moments where he realized the exact same sensation in a different behavior. It's so familiar and relatable. The brain is such a tricky clever bag of meat to find creative new ways of getting us to that dissociation through other means. Theo, what you said at the end about the inability to see into the future really clicked to me and reminded me of the time blindness of ADHD that comes with executive dysfunction. Makes me wonder how those things are interacting in our brains. The science of that stuff is really interesting to me.
These conversations are wild. I’ve never taken any drug but do have a caffeine addiction and am embarrassed by that. I couldn’t imagine openly talking about this stuff.
I'm starting say 1 again......😢. I'm going to be dead soon if i dont get back on the recovery ride . Needed this video this morning. Thank you for being honest about yourselves and in a funny way, win win 🥰💜🇬🇧
My god… struggling with this one rn. I tried quitting a few months a go and gave up after around 2 days. This one will get ya and will disguise itself as harmless
@@MultiPuppypuncherfeel you on this. Taper is good option if life too crazy for inpatient detox then sober living. Decrease dose 20% every 5 days. You can do it.
I ain't hating. I'm 40 now and I take it. Fuck it. I'm not a competition lifter I'm not a fitness influencer. I'm an old man thats earned a shortcut at this point. Trt it up fuck it.
Theo's podcast is like Alcoholics Anonymous for people who don't wish to remain anonymous. When Theo first asked Dax to do the pod, Dax said, "Go away. I'm baitin'!
Great points here, glad they're talking about it because nobody really knows that orgasm is a drug, Marnia robinson teaches karrezza sex perfectly, the simple brain chemistry behind it- more than one orgasm per week diminishes dopamine production just like any other drug, causing any and all brain reward deficiency syndromes like depression, anxiety, OCD, ADD, addiction, etc.
14:31 i feel so much despair in my toxic behavior, and recognizing the pattern only to come to accept that i have a toxic addiction, an addiction thats killing me. The truth hurts, but it'll set me free.
Really love this openness and down to earth vibe. I've been struggling feeling like I just take subtle and not so subtle punches from people all day, simply because I'm a straight (half) white male in 2024. I just want to meet people where they are and move forward as unified human family, but everyone wants a war. Good to remember that life isn't about people pleasing, it's about going through whatever is going to happen and channeling it into your masterpiece.
Alcohol and its grip on my life ruined my relationship at the time and any future with the woman who I thought I was going to have a family with. It left a lot of trust issues and trauma in its path. I've been sober for a little over 4 months, while I can't say being sober is easy; you do learn better coping skills for when your having cravings or when your suffering mentally. I know my sober date but I try not to count the days because its just one more thing that makes me think about using. It's cliché but it really does get better
Addiction is addiction, no matter the vice. But also, every thought is not your own. That automatic turn around, that compulsive NEED, is how the demons trick you. Then you give in and because they thirst and cannot drink, hunger and cannot eat, and CRAVE but cannot fulfill...when you succumb to those cravings, THEY get high, or get sex. And continuing that addiction keeps them around. Thus the spiritual battle continues.... repent (turn away from) and rebuke...life gets good again! The term battling your demons is much more real then most people understand...
Damn I can relate to dax story about being at dealers house and them lollygagging and you just want to rip the shit out of their hands and do some and then like he said “I’m all ears”!!! God what a feeling of powerlessness
Yup. I used to have a plug who would make you wait an hour, listen to his whole day and drama about the past week before he'd serve you. It was fuggin terrible. I swear he got off on it or was too high to notice lol
It really bothers me how many people who are both celebrities and or at the peak of their career in the US who are/were addicted to substances and there's a "war on drugs". We are all just broken squishy people 💔.
lol no... 99% of entertainers start off as broken people. that's why they need attention from strangers . like crime statistics, the amount of entertainers who come from broken family units is most likely off the charts
@@Brandon-tk2rw is this something you have looked into? You started off with a statistical number and ended the paragraph with most likely. I’m genuinely interested to know how factual this might be.

Hearing Theo say "Binaca" makes my day, because NOBODY where I'm from remembers that shit and they always look at me like I'm crazy if I reference it.
I have always liked Dax Shepard. I respect him for being so open about his issues.
Just got to 1 year sober!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
When that swell of craving hits me it's torture. It usually stays with me for 2 days or so and I can't stop thinking about the drug even though I don't want it at all. Sober for 2 years and it still hits me hard.
That’s what sucks the most. Today I was jonesing hard… so I made some food, sat down to eat and stumbled across this video. Theo could help a lot of people if he brought on sober addicts atleast once a month
@@Notchworld I always try to get to a fantasy video game and try to just disappear in it for a while. Works best for me. Thank God for video games.
The first thought will come; that is natural. If I don't water the thought I can think about something else and it passes. HALT. Hungry, angry,, lonely, tired. Drink? When was the last time I've eaten?
Clean since 2018
Let's hear it for trading one addiction for another!! It's the small steps.
I'm seven days in. I've been on and off through this whole year. I turned 31 this year but all my 20's were shit faced most of it. I didnt struggle with my dad being a shit faced drunk or occasional and truly gave an example to not do it. I've come to realize that him having 3 male kids, down the line they would become fathers and role models so he laid a truly foundation for us to stay down that line. I became a dad on my 28th birthday with a beautiful daughter exactly on my birthday, we share the same exact date, Im not going to lie that ever since she's being on this earth Ive dranked and I realize I cant no longer go down that route anymore. I now have a calendar in front of this computer labeled each days and every day it says do not drink. I checked every day and just remind myself that only for today I will not drink. Im now committed and I don't want to throw away all that effort. I listen to theo, rich roll, Jordan Peterson. I don't have any drug addictions. I just need to break free from this chain. stay strong fellas. do something else.
The way theo describes the group dynamic in recovery is perfect. Its such a weird feeling. Especially if youve never experienced it before, which loads of us havent.
I love the connection I feel to these men in this conversation. I've been addicted to alcohol weed nicotine and porn for 30 something years now and I'm finally realizing the pain involved. It's a multi faceted pain. Mental emotional, physical, spiritual. I asked myself how much pain can I withstand so I can feel awesome for a little while. It's just not worth it. Besides, sober joy is so much better and there's no hangover. ❤
Fantastic back and forth. Thanks for sharing.
I love listening to Dax talk about those self-awareness moments where he realized the exact same sensation in a different behavior. It's so familiar and relatable. The brain is such a tricky clever bag of meat to find creative new ways of getting us to that dissociation through other means. Theo, what you said at the end about the inability to see into the future really clicked to me and reminded me of the time blindness of ADHD that comes with executive dysfunction. Makes me wonder how those things are interacting in our brains. The science of that stuff is really interesting to me.
Dax and Theo thank you for this as an addict!!!!!! Love u guys
Whoa. Divine timing. I had no idea about Dax's experience. Both gents get my respect for honest transparency. It makes our own easier.
These conversations are wild. I’ve never taken any drug but do have a caffeine addiction and am embarrassed by that. I couldn’t imagine openly talking about this stuff.
When Theo does that coked up teeth grinding while he's talking I lose it! 😅
This is one of my favorite interviews he's done
Such an underrated actor man. Great comedy outta this guy. Congratulations on your Sobriety Dax!!!
Did not know this is what I needed to hear today, keep talking Dax
“Make coke great again” Theo is one of one😂
These two are so self aware. I wish everyone was like this.
I'm starting say 1 again......😢. I'm going to be dead soon if i dont get back on the recovery ride . Needed this video this morning. Thank you for being honest about yourselves and in a funny way, win win 🥰💜🇬🇧
his interview on the off camera show was a huge influence on the path to recovery.
90 days off Kratom. If you are struggling with this mostly unknown addiction you are not alone.
My god… struggling with this one rn. I tried quitting a few months a go and gave up after around 2 days. This one will get ya and will disguise itself as harmless
One of the worst
@@MultiPuppypuncherfeel you on this. Taper is good option if life too crazy for inpatient detox then sober living. Decrease dose 20% every 5 days. You can do it.
This is my favorite theo and guest moment ever
I have been clean from vaping and Zyns for 8 months. The hardest part is when I am around friends doing it. That's the only time I think about it. 💯
Dax Shepard hitting that TRT
TRT IS KING
And heavy amounts of adderall
I ain't hating. I'm 40 now and I take it. Fuck it. I'm not a competition lifter I'm not a fitness influencer. I'm an old man thats earned a shortcut at this point. Trt it up fuck it.
@@MickeyKearney-bj7bcNothing wrong with TRT.... Keep those levels up.
@@MickeyKearney-bj7bc Im not hating either, I’ve used steroids as well. Not sure why weak men think an observation is hating
Brilliant analysis towards the end by Dax.
Theo's podcast is like Alcoholics Anonymous for people who don't wish to remain anonymous.
When Theo first asked Dax to do the pod, Dax said, "Go away. I'm baitin'!
This is great recovery talk. I benefitted. Thank you!
I like Dax, I’ve never experienced his personality. He be great to have a conversation with him
This is really insightful. Great convo. Some hilarious parts in it too
Great points here, glad they're talking about it because nobody really knows that orgasm is a drug, Marnia robinson teaches karrezza sex perfectly, the simple brain chemistry behind it-
more than one orgasm per week diminishes dopamine production just like any other drug, causing any and all brain reward deficiency syndromes like depression, anxiety, OCD, ADD, addiction, etc.
14:31 i feel so much despair in my toxic behavior, and recognizing the pattern only to come to accept that i have a toxic addiction, an addiction thats killing me. The truth hurts, but it'll set me free.
Dax looking GOOD! 🔥🔥🔥
Really love this openness and down to earth vibe. I've been struggling feeling like I just take subtle and not so subtle punches from people all day, simply because I'm a straight (half) white male in 2024. I just want to meet people where they are and move forward as unified human family, but everyone wants a war. Good to remember that life isn't about people pleasing, it's about going through whatever is going to happen and channeling it into your masterpiece.
This is a 12step meeting in a pod.
Real people! Nice and refreshing. Hello fellow humans brothers and sisters!
Two of my favorite people!
Alcohol and its grip on my life ruined my relationship at the time and any future with the woman who I thought I was going to have a family with. It left a lot of trust issues and trauma in its path. I've been sober for a little over 4 months, while I can't say being sober is easy; you do learn better coping skills for when your having cravings or when your suffering mentally. I know my sober date but I try not to count the days because its just one more thing that makes me think about using. It's cliché but it really does get better
You're on your way!
Bro just explained something to me about validation and confusion and feelings shit
when Theo said he’s been down some wormholes I felt that in my bones 😅
@1:52 “cause I do- what I wanna do” lol oh man can I relate to that… that when we’re in trouble.
almost 4 years sober! thankful every day for it
Dax always looks like he's a second away from crying.
How can you not like the guy? I didn't know he is in recovery,that's awesome. I like him more lol.
God damn Dax is JACKED - he got that red turkey balls neck.
From androgen use my guy
@@Kgsoloman-ou6wm who gives a f***, he's almost a 50 year old man
Damn now I know why my old supervisor in the AF had a red nexk
@@EncrypticMethodsyou’re talking to someone who has also used steroids. Im just stating the cause, not hating, little man.
@@Kgsoloman-ou6wm you trying to talk down on everyone doesnt make you "big" little bro
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
If I could have theo von and dax effing Sheppard in my recovery community, i might actually have a successful recovery lol
Don’t ever think there’s a reason outside of yourself for your recovery- it’s all you and God (who is always with you, inside)❤ you got this!🎉
@@earthboundserafine2972spot on
People who quit drugs in Hollywood are always so comfortable in their own skin and have their legs crossed all the time 😂
Roids are a drug. Mind altering
wow...i needed to hear this...thank you
Addiction is addiction, no matter the vice. But also, every thought is not your own. That automatic turn around, that compulsive NEED, is how the demons trick you. Then you give in and because they thirst and cannot drink, hunger and cannot eat, and CRAVE but cannot fulfill...when you succumb to those cravings, THEY get high, or get sex. And continuing that addiction keeps them around. Thus the spiritual battle continues.... repent (turn away from) and rebuke...life gets good again! The term battling your demons is much more real then most people understand...
Damn I can relate to dax story about being at dealers house and them lollygagging and you just want to rip the shit out of their hands and do some and then like he said “I’m all ears”!!! God what a feeling of powerlessness
Yup. I used to have a plug who would make you wait an hour, listen to his whole day and drama about the past week before he'd serve you. It was fuggin terrible. I swear he got off on it or was too high to notice lol
Dax is a beauty. Wish I saw him in more stuff, funny and genuine can’t be matched
Dax and Theo seem like such sweet dudes. Both in like the kind sense and also pretty cool or whatever.
It really bothers me how many people who are both celebrities and or at the peak of their career in the US who are/were addicted to substances and there's a "war on drugs". We are all just broken squishy people 💔.
lol no... 99% of entertainers start off as broken people. that's why they need attention from strangers . like crime statistics, the amount of entertainers who come from broken family units is most likely off the charts
@@Brandon-tk2rw is this something you have looked into? You started off with a statistical number and ended the paragraph with most likely. I’m genuinely interested to know how factual this might be.
We got this guys! I have my first 24 hours down. The begining is the worst
Relate to Dax more than I could imagine
I ❤ Dax! Dude, Employee of the Month!!!! 😅
Hahah. I sooooo know that feeling he’s describing at 11:20
Binaca I'm 39 and remember that shit thinking I was cool now I got 5 years sober off alcohol and 6 years clean off drugs ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great interview Theo!
Dax is the fucking best... such a cool dude.
'you strike me as a pro' lolol
"Tom you were a boy scout once"
"No .....but i ate a brownie once"
Underrated line lol
