Everyone is addicted to something. What are we addicted to that is used as a means to cope ? What are we coping with that creates this addiction to something ? Even as i type this now i am overwhelmed with a more clear perspective on my own addictions. What you are saying is helping me now. Forgiveness is important towards letting go. The only way to beat this addiction is to live. These addictions cannot tell us anything about life.
Thank you, just helping me stick to my stop smoking . Love listening to you, sounds autentic .No congratulation cause it wasn't a good idea to follow in the first place...like that and now I forgive it to That which is already and always sane, sober, happy needing nothing to reach that ☀️🙌🙏
This is a great video, I'm 7 years sober from weed and 10 months from booze... But I'm 25 minutes sober from nicotine, (it's just after midnight) which has proven me to be harder to quit with vapes/pouches. I'm going cold turkey, so wish me luck and I'll stay sober with you today.
Generally with addictions… for me if I’m talking myself into doing it or justifying it, that is a bad sign. Not just drinking but many habits in general. On the path of awakening, it is crazy how many habitual things we do on a daily basis which are basically addictions and fly under the radar. I feel it needs to be said also to always be watching that addictive side because it will be always trying to find a weakness, something else to sneak in that you aren’t watching for. I have had this manifest in desires, pleasure, destructive relationships, pursuing anything it can grasp onto rather than just being as is.
Regret, recognition of having gone wrong, made mistakes and willing to make amends, repair rather than shame or guilt. Both of those are useless imo. Otherwise great talk. Appreciate your sincerity.
Thank you for this feedback, I have taken it on board and will integrate this, I recognised after filming the word 'shame' wasn't correct in my usage here and yes the 'guilt' part needed further extrapolation to the effect that you have described - Appreciate the comment :)
Love it. Returned to this video because it just popped up. Watched the end part again an.. Get sober, stay sober and you can now, right now is so important to people. Words like "just quit". Yikes! To "it" that sounds deadly. Addicted people don't see the "freedom" they only see the "can't have" Exactly "it" is the illusion in that case. Where is "it" in the case of awakening and who is "it"? Where is my "it" now in the awakening process? Is it the same as chemical addiction as we have experienced?
@@corinbryant I've thought that way for long time. Doesn't seem to work the same but has same tactics. Bait and Switch is one of them. How else does it hide? How to separate rational thought from illusion? Body/mind is laughing but doesn't know why. It is being cornered via letting go.
Been a AA reject and a AVRT informed for years. I never drink right now and of course has been effortless once learning AVRT. So angry I lived in purgatory for so long. I don't live "in recovery" either. I live in the freedom of knowing I just don't have to fight that fight anymore. I have felt misled, very alone, disrespected, disregarded, dropped on my head and finally rejected by people who support sobriety but just not in that manner (just quit). Now I would really like to entirely LEAVE the recovery bullshit mentality. So angry huh? Gun shyness I suppose. Now as in exploring my true nature and non duality it just doesn't sit right somehow to use label like "I'm in recovery". I'm not! Appreciate you video and definitely the subject of AVRT. Something feels sticky about this subject and I don't know why. Work in progress. Thank you.
Sounds to me like you have a good grasp on it all, the anger subsides after a while I had that too. Stay confident in your intuition, you are right you are not in recovery you are recovered, the more confident you are the more you will leave the purgatory behind. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
@@corinbryant Anger about deception about addiction and finding out just how easy if one is allowed to be honest is/was over hot and dusty anger for sure. The anger that is now is about suffering, normal everyday suffering. Since July and shifting and shifting back to suffering it feels like emotions are raw and explosive.
I can see a direct link from AVRT to NON Duality. Have put that two and two together for years, put it together before "awakening" was seen as "non duality". When I learned of AVRT I saw the similar qualities of ego/mind hijacking true nature.
Isn’t sobriety a super power?! You’re able to speak off the top of your head, on message, for a 1/2 hour, in one take. I’ve realized that I just might be the first sober male in my entire family lineage. And, quitting caffeine did more to stop the anxiety than the booze.
Nope! Too much bullshit getting through bullshit to find people who have moved past it but still are in "recovery" What are you recovering from? Not drinking?
Blessings Corin n fellow A.V.R.Ts. The mind can be a cunning adversary !! *Shine On*

So heartened that this has been helpful for you, thank you for these words and so glad you have stopped smoking :)
Congratulations (not for beast ears)
Spot on. I've fallen for all the traps! Re-committing to total sobriety, no cheat codes to speak of.
No cheat codes! You've got it :D

Good luck, if you can get off that other stuff you can get off nicotine too no doubt about it, wishing you all the best x

Great question - Treat all thoughts in the same way you treat the addiction in AVRT and you will be awakened RAPIDLY.

Messages I sent 10 days ago are obsolete already. Finding more of "just this" instead of "what was".

Yes, I have an upcoming video on AVRT being the most powerful meditation there is
