Thank you for your content ❤ This was a good episode on health and starting healthy habits. I love mind pump and you guys did a great job.

Good advice also bad advice. Don’t rush a sponsor. Make certain to talk, but be very picky when asking.

I’m guilty of being lazy when it’s time to go to meetings or do the work. I’m glad this was brought up

Hi, I Just got out from prison, and I want to thank you guys Tom, Ben and Dr T for the podcast, it was and it's great listening to you!!!

My "alternative" to alcohol is monster energy lol I don't drink it all the time, but I enjoy them most when I go for scooter rides or sometimes before work. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I love my monster. I slam them 😂

This is a profound truth of God's love. Humble and surrendered. . The Best Podcast so far! What the book?

I think we can recover and still use marijuana in moderation, for those whose DOC isnt marijuana. Everyone is different and ive met many addicts who pick up keychains and are still using nicotine either by smoking or vaping

Huge fan.....just a few things...Kratom is not an opioid, it does act on your receptors, it is 120x less strong than morphine, it uses alkoids to give energy but is not...I repeat no even close to the effects of an opiod....I lost mobility in Iraq to my arm and pain in my back went to using kratom, it saved my life from using pain killers. Thank you for everything yall do, here from Texas much love

Heard you say this in a video yesterday and i couldnt agree more. Fentanyl has destroyed my body and since getting clean ( 113 days) ive decided to be responsible for the body ive been giving hell the past year. I feel so much better and i look better, so i do better.

Hey, been watching your content since yesterday. I am in love. Keep up the good work! Everytime my current home group goes into total church mode ( a bunch of new folks who are excited about their relationship with their lord and savior and they end up holding the meeting hostage with Bible stuff for almost the whole meeting. Talking about the devil as if someone's higher power can't be the devil ...basic disrespect for other religions) So Everytime this happens I just leave and put in some of your stuff. Keeps me in the focus. Maybe you have some answers for this? Should I try to just accept something that is pushing me away from the group, find a new group, or make an announcement about the religious stuff? I'm not anti religious...exactly, but Im not there to hear Bible verses and go to church. I'm afraid this will end up making me the black sheep and become shunned from the group...I like it here but these new folks are kinda making it difficult to stay.

It actually worked for me. It was super nice to pick a scene to meditate in. I think its more self care focused snd i get diwn eith that especially if youre antisocial like me. I struggle with certain meetings because recently its been devolving into "JESUS CHRIST IS MY LIRD AND SAVIOR AND IF YOU DONT BELIEV YOURE GOING TO HELL!" and i have left early the past three days because of this. I think ill surf the web for a zoom meeting and try those out. Virtual reality is super helpful. Theres lessons and shit we can pick for different topics and we can watxh them while sitting on a couch in a lovely room...the VR thing i went to for study was awesome. But virtual meetings have definitely helped me. Also side note. Maybe try getting some sober celebrities on? Im sure there will be some people who are willing to sit down for a little while and speak. I just heard you guys are in southern Florida and theres hella people there. You guys are doing good imo.

This also works for dating women in general

It seems by the comments it's only men that are the problem 😂

I walked away from my best friend of 10 years, one year ago this month. I got tired of being her mental and emotional punching bag, all the drama, hearing she cheated on her gf and the constant worry she was going to hurt herself or others by her reckless, irresponsible behavior. I broke up verbal fights before they went physical on two separate occasions. I still love and miss her, but my own mental health is all the better. It’s hard to stop enabling an addict but it is a MUST! AL-ANON and watching utube videos like this can be so valuable! She went to rehab 3 times. The last was almost 2 years ago. She paid $4,000 out of pocket and had another excuse for why she left the next day. Inside, I was livid but was still trying to be hopeful, positive and supportive. However, it also did something to me and it was the start of the end because as soon as she got back home, she returned to her usual drinking. One day, she wanted to meet for dinner and I said I couldn’t go, but I’d take a rain check. She then left a string of nasty calls and text messages a few days, even saying she wasn’t drunk this time. I ignored them (to this day I never read them all). I’m still in contact with her gf, but not my former bestie. Do what you need to to protect yourself. It’s not being selfish or doesn’t mean you don’t love them, but you MUST love yourself first or they’ll drag you down right along with them!

How many milligrams per day suboxone is you on ?

They dont give 2 mg to people that has never tastet it before

You have nedver been sick a figuerd that out from my swlv

Beacouse xanax help against pannick attack....and a have it

This is so awesome to see! My treatment recovery journey began at Boca with Nikki, and I was fortunate to complete that phase at Rock. I am deeply grateful to have been connected with these two remarkable organizations that have been instrumental in my path to healing.

It felt like a huge betrayal of their trust & when i took those actions it felt like i was taking strategic aim at their demon of addiction. I told their family members who were fooled into believing their lie that they were clean that they were not clean and so do not provide resource, dont give money but take them to buy things. My addicted boyfriend didn't think that was the right thing to do & that i was disloyal to him & he dismissed me when i said that i was just trying to starve that demon to death; not ruin his life. He claimed he couldn't trust me & we eventually broke up. I can't trust him at all, cuz everything he put me thru with his addiction. I ONLY clued them, his family, in because the addiction to crack had gotten so severe and i was afraid for his life. He od perished and was brought back the first time he did fentanyl & it just seems like all hope is lost for every person I've known who went from meth, crack, or heroin to fentanyl. Did i do the right thing by telling his family? I feel like i need to get that really figured out in case I'm in this situation again... because it feels like i lost the relationship because i approached addiction like war and there are no rules, so shared his secret. So I'm really asking. Also i felt bad like i was lying to them just by my God clean Christian self being his girlfriend, cuz that helped maintain the lie that he was clean. But they were witnessing him nodding out & asking me with such pleading if hes ok. If that was the right thing i really wanna be sure.... cuz what it cost me to just maybe get him clean, losing him, i know im gonna want to keep my mouth shut next time.

THATS MY MF SPONSOR!!!! Great episode

Everything Kieth said about his upbringing is 100% true. Probably the toughest most resilient person I have ever known. My good friend. I thought I lost him to drugs and could only remember ALL the good times we had growing up in north end of Providence. I can tell you what happens when smart kids get together with no guidance, but few would believe me. Now we are grown, I have never forgotten my brother. I found him in this age of the internet and cried for about a half hour. I love you

Kratom allowed to remain sober when my life fell apart due to unforeseen circumstances straight after 7 months of rehab, a relapse, another month of rehab. Then I discovered kratom and ive been able not to go back to drugs and alcohol even tho I lost everything that counted for. I recovered from those traumatic life events since then, and after a 2.5 years daily use with almost no side effects, i currently use it sporadically when i have the feel for it. And im an addict. So kratom is a lifesaver, the best harm reduction tool there is because it works for every DOC. I was addicted to alcohol , meth, crack, coke, speed and others. But no opiates or opioids, and kratom worked for me. And never i am high on kratom because perception and judement isnt altered. You dont know what youre talking about and you even claim during that vidéo that you dont know what kratom is. Get informed. There s tons of success stories out there.

Once an Addict is not always an Addict. It is as much as saying once a good person is always a good person. Once a good friend is always a good friend....

But you can be knodding off on suboxone in a meeting and that’s considered clean?

This title is very misleading, she was on other drugs and Suboxone. When you do sub treatment you have to take the amount that makes you feel comfortable 1,2,3 pills per day and NOTHING ELSE, specially Xanax or alcohol. Suboxone changed my life completely for the better taking 3 per day until I felt I had control over my life, then decreased it after many years. 85% percent of people relapse after rehab. I had 100% success rate with Suboxone. Doctors don't tell a heart patient "you know eventually you have to stop taking these meds" so this idea that a person should not be on Suboxone is wrong but I understand it kills your profit like, if it wasn't for Suboxone I would had to go to Rehab 3 times these past 10 years and lived a hellish life. Suboxone saved my life, sure it's better not to take any meds. I get the feeling you'll delete my this comment.

❤ loves these two!! Oh and you too, Tom!! Thank you!!!

Excellent topic!! I was one of those parents! Did the contract, the constant worry and trying to control. Nothing worked!! Until I listened to you guys and I LET GO. DETACHED WITH LOVE. Thanks again because there are times I still fall back into that pattern of worrying and trying to fix things for my son. Once I step back and just listen and let him figure stuff out, it always works out for the better!!

🙏

Some of these comments kind of upset me. I am an addict, just got out of rehab 2 weeks ago. I understand all the trust we break and turmoil we cause. But my way of thinking has changed, i def did this behavior in my addiction but its different now. I want to make these changes but my ex refuses to give me any time. Ik i caused this but she doesnt want to see the changes she would rather run away from the relationship. She only remembers the bad parts of our relationship. Without my addictions in the way the relationship was really good, if im willing to go through recovery why can we not get back to old times

Sober 1.9 years and damn do I miss it but never going down that road again 😂😂

I apologized for something I didn’t even do when he blamed his bad behavior on me for a fight that he started !! something he made up in his head and then wouldn’t talk to me about it !

Perfect episode for me! Listening while at the gym. I also have a secret seperate dessert pocket 😂😂 this was really helpful Thank you!

❤ thanks for all yall do! New sub. Hi from New Zealand.

2.5 yrs clean. I love the gym but i also probably transfered my addiction back to food so working on that.. got big biceps though 😜 love a good hike too, more relaxing than the busy gym. Deal with anxiety, hopefully therapy helps more soon haha its a long road.

People are So Imperfect! Your first opportunity to do the 12 steps and Forgive the idiot! 😊❤

I have a little over 13 months clean now!! This story really resonated with me. The Lie is Dead! We Do Recover! Just for Today!

This young lady needs to write a book! Her story is so encouraging! I have a loved one at Rock Recovery now and these stories make me so thankful he’s there! Thank you Tom for turning your own mess into this message! ❤

Such an important share and to hear from both AA and Al Anon sides! It can be done!! Thank you for this!! ❤

🎉🎉

Amazing bro. Love you m Glenn Siesser

Great podcast but I realized I kept getting distracted every time Ben checked his phone/watch. 😂

This rabbi guy totally fucks yo

Amazing Story Jimbo.

Great job Jimbo

Sooooo true! Tom, your complete candour at first was a little much, but then it was comforting. Made myself and my husband feel confident we were sending our son to the correct place. Ben, a great listener and your approach is softer but firm. Thanks guys!!

Agree with everything just don’t like when people say it’s worse than heroin . It’s not worse than heroin . It’s a much cleaner drug a safer . And easier to come off. It makes ppl not wanna get on MAT saying stuff like that. It doesn’t sound good to people that are actually trying to get off heroin it will put them off to MAT.

It also causes extreme seizures from abuse. I started at 13 and trust me, it’s so hard to imagine feeling any type of emotion off of it

It's true. 7 years ago rock bottom and 2 seconds from dancing with a train was the only thing that brought me to my revelation. Life is wonderful now. There is hope

Hello! I just had a using dream of having a using dream at the rehab I am at. Either way it was still real, I felt like I got high and everything.
