"I can stop anytime I want!"

Hello, I'm a detox nurse and it's extremely important for alcoholics know a particular detail about withdrawal; it has a tendency to raise the blood pressure to extraordinary levels. If you have high blood pressure, you are at a much higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke, especially if your family has a history of these things. Also, high blood pressure happens more frequently in African Americans, and in men more than women. If you are at risk for any of these conditions, it is urgent that you do not try to quit drinking without medical supervision, seek help especially in a *medical detox.* If your drinking has been a problem for years, *please* consider this advice and seek medical help and advice when quitting drinking. *Do NOT go cold turkey if you get the shakes, rapid heart beat, heavy sweating or a feeling of panic. These are symptoms of an acute withdrawal condition and should see a doctor or seek help in an emergency room immediately. For your life and safety.*
Huh. That’s good to know.
Aight
Wow I didnt know that people would have heart attacks if they stopped drinking. (Sometimes)
No 🤑🤑🤑🤑

Stop separating alcohol from other drugs, a big reason that alcohol addiction is so prevalent is because we don't treat it as a drug. Its just another drug.

Learned something new today. "Like all addicts, they don't see something wrong with their habits".
This was super interesting to me. Maybe that's why I don't see anything wrong with self-harm.
Well for me I see the problem, im a p addict, and I know I should stop it now but I cant. well actually I was near stoping it, this MIGHT sound crazy but lately i saw this show called my little pony and I was so into it I actually stopped doing "that" for a long time, i think i was wasting all my free time just watching my little pony, I literally just watched 228 episodes of 24 minutes in 1 month, and some of the movies tho.

The religion part was clearly written by an athiest. I am an atheist, but trying to argue that a religious person "getting upset if they cannot perform their religious rituals" is a sign of addiction is crazy. That's like saying "a vegan that refuses a steak is addicted to veganism".
@@Boomui7755I think people mistake "addiction" with "ideation". They aren't the same thing. Focusing your thoughts on something or someone for extensive periods of time is not an addiction...
i feel like it depends on what he meant by rituals, but i am no longer too deep in religion as i had left christianity.
@@-ddict- Even if the rituals refered to literal human sacrifice, that doesn't make it an "addiction". He is just smeering every human behaviour with the word "addiction" where it isn't applicable. Addictions revolve around the intake of drugs or the engagement in behaviours that release unregulated neuro-transmitters. Even though he said "they can literally feel tingles when performing them", he didn't provide evidence or proof that this has a neurological connection.
@@Handles_AreStupid thanks, i had struggled to understand because it didnt seem like an addiction. it just felt like faith in a way of higher connection. i was skeptical about what he claimed was religious addiction and even more in the explanation.
No this guy actually has a point about religion addition. And trying to argue that a religious person "getting upset if they cannot perform their religious rituals" is not like saying "a vegan that refuses a steak is addicted to veganism". Because a vegan that refuses a steak is just not eating it, and therefore not doing it. I can't believe I have to explain how those two are not related.
i have a self harm addiction. please, quit before it's too late. i'm thirteen, and i've been placed in a ward three times, i've needed stitches for my self harm seven times. and no matter how deep it is, it's never enough. i'm so desensitised to gore and what not because i experience it daily when i cut open my body. quit while you can

Thanks for your comment, you are very young but you understand deep things and have learn important lessons from life that others won't or will never understand.
I started at your age, I'm now 32. I still struggle but I'm in a full treatment with medications, therapy and support from control appointments with my psychiatrist. My meds were recently adjusted and now I'm seeing a slight improvement in one of my conditions, which is mayor depressive disorder. I have other psychiatric conditions roaming around, reason why I'm under a strict regime of meds. Therapy and a support network (even if it's just your doctor) is very helpful.
I don't know what you're going through nor I need to know in order to empathize and understand, but I want to tell you that you are not alone, a stranger in the vast internet is very proud of your efforts.

What about internet addiction?@@lfocoap4950ajf8
For food addiction, id like to add that one reason so many people struggle with it is that unlike taking drugs or drinking alcohol you CANNOT not eat. You have to eat. So every single meal, every single day, youll be tempted again.
Thats why if you are addicted to food, operations like a bypass dont work long term unless you combine jt with therapy, to develope a healthy relationship to food again.

Thank you for talking about self harm addiction (and the other addictions for that matter) in an informative and nonjudgmental way. I was in really deep at one point in my life. I couldn’t go more than a few hours without causing myself some kind of pain. It was terribly hard to quit and I had a few relapses in the process but I’m at a place where I don’t feel the need to rely on it anymore.
To anyone going through something similar, I urge you to ask for help. It’s a slippery slope and you can so easily cause severe damage. I can’t guarantee happiness but I do know that there’d be a really big void that you fill now and there’s no one else who can be you better than you. If you can’t live for yourself, then live out of spite and to outlive your enemies! Take care of yourself. You’ve got this. ❤
Lock in
Personally im addicted to existing
Ehhh it's overrated
Proud of you!!!
Then how come this is my first time meeting you?
GG
dont worry, it took me a long time but im 4 years clean of existence. i had to talk with alot of people and take alot of meds but what really helps me is dying on my bed. and now i dont even have urges for it.
0:00 is me I’ve tried quitting so many times but i relapsed yesterday and nearly relapsed again today. It’s also depressing to know that i won’t have a usual attraction to men (I’m a woman so it’s harder for me to find help aswell).
I downloaded ‘I am sober’ which is a tracker for when you have a relapse and keeps a streak of how long since your last relapse. For me, I’m 2 hours away from 2 days since i relapsed on Saturday. It has really great support and motivation and reading other peoples stories is really helpful knowing your going through the same thing or if you have no one to talk to so I would highly recommend the app.
if anyone’s going through an addiction:
If you want to achieve something you’d have to suffer for it but *never* give up
I totally understand you are going through I once was addicted but thankfully I got over it but if you need to talk to anyone I’m totally open!
Hey I kind of get where you are, I’ve got a similar addiction and I’m really struggling with it. We’re here for you ok? We’ll all figure it out
I don’t really comment, but I’m rooting for you! You got this!
I had that addiction and I quit from it. I tried gaining more self control, I even participied on NNN, JJJ and other silly challanges to do so. The other factor that made me completely quit it was converting to christianity. If you want to do such act, switch your desire to another that is better, for example, you want to m-, then think about drinking water (and do so) and try to forget about your thoughts. It might be hard, but I think that will work.
hey? most addicts relapse not once, but several times, don't worry
Religion “addicts” are just devout believers, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.
Depends... there’s just being a devout believer, and then there’s:
- Forgoing important tasks (such as eating or medical attention) in favour of religious practices or because of religious rules
- Getting involved in cults or dangerous practices
- Frequent, extreme worry about following the religion properly, or worrying that religious figures are angry with them for various reasons
- Trying to force their religion onto others, such as attempting to pass laws based on what they think is right or refusing to interact with those with other beliefs
- Being unable to “”quit”” the religion or look into others due to fear of consequences (such as believing you’ll go to hell)
no
Point is that it's about reward centers and seeking reward over other behaviors. If your religion is your life and you have and engage in little else, that's probably not healthy.
Now, I dislike all religions and find it enormously creepy to believe in anything, religious or otherwise as the term means to think or treat something as a fact regardless of information to prove validity or even in the face of something that disproves it. But no one regardless of anything should have only one thing be there thing. Be it a relationship, a hobby or anything else.
@@mochamonster6956
1. Fasting is done for for self denial and spiritual growth, obviously we’re not starving to death but I would reject that forgoing food is necessarily negative
2. Everyone passes laws based on their belief system. The ironic thing is, if your worldview doesn’t include God, you actually don’t have any justification for the existence of objective morality- you can’t justifiably tell me that anything is wrong.
@@vixxcelacea2778every worldview has something thats “unprovable” by empirical means, including atheism, so you don’t actually escape your supposed concern by not believing in a religion. In fact, atheism can be disproven in what you could call a meta-logical way. I would encourage you to look up the Transcendental argument for God if you’re interested

@@Ratfkr steps:
1.Get p addiction
2. Feels guilty so you tried distracting yourself with foods, drugs, etc and develop their addiction
3. Step 2 didn't work and you got more addiction instead
4. Try to find god and get in touch with religion and pray to get rid of these addiction
5. Didn't really worked out, instead now u got another addiction and feel more guilty
6. Yknow what, lemme just forget my guilt with self harm (another addiction)
7. Got bruising from all those self harm so you tried plastic surgery to fix any part of your body to make them perfect ( made it worse, now you have body dysmorphia and developed plastic surgery addiction)
There we go, achievement unlocked.

If you do a part 2, shoping addiction would be good to cover. Im glad you also brought up food addiction. Im recovering from a combo of coping with a food addiction and an eating disorder, and i think many people dont recognize it as a serious addiction and that the people with food addictions enjoy it. I was misrable at the peak of mine, im much happier now that im moderating what i eat and trying to become healthier
As someone who in the past has suffered from extreme self-harming habits. I really appreciate the way you described self-harm addiction, without judgement. I've been clean from self-harm for almost a month at the moment, but even still the urges are insanely strong.
When I was twelve, I randomly started self harming. I still can’t answer the, “why” question I always get from people as I still can’t understand my own actions. I was addicted for several years and even ended up in the hospital, lost friends, hurt my family, traumatized myself, and even got expelled from school because of it. As it says in the video, my normal self harm at the time was giving me less and less of the feeling I was craving, so I went to more extreme lengths to feel it again. I don’t want to say anything gory, so i’ll summarize by saying i’ve gone to dangerous depths and have permanently scarred my body with wide, noticeable scars.
When I was unable to self-harm (Either having taken my tool away by a parent or losing it) I would use whatever I could. I would ask friends for razorblades, use rusty blades, and even once used sharp glass pieces I found outside a dumpster. These times were when I was around 13-14 and it was the worst it ever got. There was also a certain spot of twitter that I won’t name that worsened my addiction, as well as people who also had the same addiction that were encouraging me. These were my friends and I don’t blame them for their actions as we were in the same boat.
I’ve been recovering from it for about a year now and have mess-ups sometimes, but it’s a lot better than how it used to consume every minute of my life. Not a lot of people, like my parents, didn’t quite understand how bad self-harm can escalate. There were even times I almost lost my life, on purpose and on accident.
If you’re struggling with self-harm, please do whatever you can to quit. It’s scarring mentally and physically, even if you may not realize it yet as I didn’t back then. If you read all of this, then hi 👋 thanks for listening. ❤️

I can relate. I fought on-and-off with an s/h addiction for seven, almost eight years now and I'm about a year into recovery. I still slip up from time to time but I'm about two months clean. I'm glad you're still around and that you never lost your chance to recover like you deserve. 🩶
I was here when you were at 1k subs, and I love your content, keep it up!
Really great video, and I loved the summaries, wasn't aware of a relationship addiction being a thing but based on previous experiences I've had, I'm definitely aware of people who have very similar symptoms to what the video described.
This channel is absolutely incredible! So glad we found you early on so we can be along for the ride!
Addiction has the same core drive. You lack. You end up picking one thing or sometimes two that are main drives to fill the lack. A balanced human experiences lack, but has far more things to fill the lack. You have hobbies, relationships, favorite foods, physical activity, perhaps meditation or relaxing things you do. You don't have all your eggs in one basket and only rely on a few or less avenues in which to delve emotional/physical well being into.
Everyone lacks. Lacking is a part of how our brain simply works to always strive for more. it's how we improve and change as people. But when it's so severe or when a hobby/substance/activity is found that really takes away that feeling, it's very easy for it to become an addiction. This is also why people who are poor, struggling or otherwise feel disenfranchised are more at risk for gaining an addiction. There has been a ton of studies on this and more often than not they find that the mental component is just as much if not more of an indicator and also when it's helped and feels secure, usually the addictive behavior reduces significantly.
Insecurity is the biggest drive for addiction. Feeling a loss of control, feeling hopeless, feeling unfulfilled. You fill it with something. Often if it's only one main thing, that thing isn't healthy. And this can extend to literally anything. Games, internet, fitness, diet, porn, animals, a singular hobby, being a parent. Anything can become that filler. People who make that one thing about them their entire personality are usually in this kind of boat, possibly addicted to the thing that they think characterizes them as a person.
A good sign of being an addict is, can you not do x or y for an entire day or even a week? And I mean the specific thing you tend to do. Media consumption is more wide spread, as would reading books be. The idea would be can you do something different for a little while and still feel okay? If you scroll on the phone or watch youtube videos everyday and can't go with out or you feel irritable, annoyed or sad, then you might want to check if you're becoming desensitized to the stimulation you tend to seek out.
Seeking stimulation is fine. Brains need it. Just shouldn't have the same thing over and over, especially not if that thing has proven scientific evidence to cause issues, like social media can or various other addictions shown in the video.
Single handedly the most informed comment here, and I seriously hope more people see this!
so you're a addict if you actually believe your religion and aren't playing pretend? im not religious, but holy fucking shit.
The guy who made this video is a jackass who doesn't know the difference between ideation and addiction 😂😂
Yeah, I don’t think this guy understands religion. The idea behind it, is at its core “a belief”. If you believe in something, you stick by it.
@@youngjohn3902 Exactly I for example am an Orthodox Christian but Ill take others as an example just to show that there are many similar examples besides Christianity.
In many religions they believe in a or many God/Gods so powerful that can obliterate their life by just existing. If they truly believe in these Gods they will obviously peform rituals or whatever to please/build a bond with the belief of their God and by that belief ,anything in the physical reality doesnt matter as that God is ultimately more powerful than any life force/weapon on earth. This guy is simply an atheist and simply pushes his views of being religious as an addiction because he comes from an atheist viewpoint. This is why people like these shouldnt put out any misinformation if they dont know anything about the subject they are talking about. This is why after the religious section i immediately denied the credebility of this Video as I could have consumed misinformation on parts I dont have experience on.
These people need to stop putting out harmful misinformation as that could shift many individuals into the delusion of believeing something false.
@@CronusROM ХРИСТОС ВОСКРЕСЕ!
I use to have a horrible addiction to self harm and I about died. Watching this video really gave me a better understanding why I gravitated towards self harm as a coping mechanism. (Note: I've thankfully been clean since Jan 2024 )
with the drug addiction segment, that is so true. eventually it's not even about being high/on the drugs anymore, it's about avoiding the sickness that comes with withdrawal
This is why I always take a break from substances or behaviors when I start to feel a tolerance to them. 🧘♂️
Gambling is not an addiction its a passion
I know this is likely a joke, but honestly, the addiction of gambling has destroyed so many lives that unless the joke is actually a interesting insight, I don't agree that it's much of a joke here. It's too depressing.

Is getting a warm feeling when practicing a religion really a sign of addiction?
No bro its so stupid the way he described this, everyone is addicted to something whether they realise it or not, like some people are addicted to the gym, work etc. but we dont mention is because its productive, so unless you find yourself preparing to end someones like for your religion, or doing something for “religion” then its fine, if you are happy and not hurting anyone then it is fine and dont worry about it
I've used a lot of drugs to excess, once had an alcohol problem that caused me to develop pancreatitis at only 21, and I can confidently say that self harm was by far the hardest to quit, and definitely had the biggest hold on me. Opiates came close, but I cut that off before it became a problem. People really have no idea how all-consuming self harm can be.
Thank you for this video!!
Another video!!! 😺 Let's goooo. Love your informative videos 😀!
I love how RIGHT after the alcohol segment youtubes own addicting algorithm gave me an ad for jack daniels. Maybe I need fufillment outside of a screen after all
Thank you for the disclaimer about Self Harm 😊
Lots of individuals like me have thoughts about it or even do it on a daily basis because it's the new normal for them and it shouldn't be 😢
your bit on religious addiction is actually very intriguing to me. it almost reminds me of the obsessions and rituals of ocd.
P-addiction is just a form of opioid addiction.
You see, the feeling of coming is just release of large amounts of beta-endorphin. Endorphin is endogenous opioid.
The P helps us to produce more of it, so it is basically the same as doing fent, but without physical addiction, because organism produces endorphin by itself.
Great explanation
I had a self harm addiction for a fair amount of time. These days I still get the desire to when I experience strong emotions. Haven't done it in a long time though.
I got the food addiction and I can confirm the withdrawals are annoying but thankfully I'm managing to lower my compulsive eating
I've been struggling with self harm for close to five years now and I had no clue that it caused your brain to release opioids.
SAMEEEE, idk i just dont have anyone i feel confortable talking abt it, almost none of my friends know i do this shit.
i wish both of you well in quitting your addictions, i had used to self harm but im around 4 years clean. i understand the amount of struggle it takes to quit any addiction but especially self harm. i hope you both get the help you need. i havent really been focusing on mental health so im bad at this and im sorry for that. i wish you both well in life.
@@foxxdgd443 a few people I know are aware but as far as they're concerned I stopped over two years ago. When in reality my last relapse was like, a few days ago
I'll share a bit of my story and what's behind self harming. (Long comment, triggering topic)
First of all, if you read this and you are thinking about trying it:
⚠️ STOP RIGHT NOW⚠️ Talk with someone, play some music, get cold water in your face or hold 2 cubes of ice with your hands, go to walk, do jumping jacks, call a emergency hotline, whatever it takes until your brain is distracted from the idea of harming yourself.
Your own endorphins are helluva drug and your body will keep releasing them, it's free and at your reach 24/7. You see what happens with people that have a substance abuse? they need to get the substance, that implies money, time, availability, a place to buy it... Yet they go to the moon and back to get the substance and have their fix, now imagine that your body gives you all the "fix" you need for free and at any time... Nope, you don't really want to depend on this.
I know that life is hard, there's a reason why you are considering that dealing anything you're going through with self harm will get better. Believe me, it won't.
I started at 13, now I'm 32. I saw it on tv in a medical series and thought "well this seems extreme but the character is going through a lot of emotional pain and distress, so am I, why not trying?" I came to a point to know how much I needed to cut to go to sleep, to deal with the afternoon when I was back from school, before a test, when I was close to an anxiety attack... the need of feeling something or disassociate from something it's so strong that doing it every day isn't enough. Then you start to need it more than once per dar, then you find more small triggers to "calm down" or "get control over" a situation with your self harming behavior.
It's also important to notice that not all self harm is just cutting. There's a lot of self harming behaviors and sometimes more than one is used as a coping mechanism, one behavior may be used in public because is more discreet than the other. Restrictions in basic physical needs are also self harm and it's really common to see a person that's using more than 1 self harming mechanism.
The addiction comes as a vicious cycle of doing the act, then feel ashamed and guilty, then disappointedor angry at yourself and then needing to harm yourself. This cycle of emotions is so strong that you need to "unplug your brain" from feeling the pain and emotional distress, so the self harm comes in to numb you. In other moments you are numb way too much and there's a huge feeling of emptiness, like if you had a void, self harm comes and "awakes your mind" from that numb state. Rinse and repeat the cycle of shame > guilt > punishment.
Not all people that harm themselves cut, some hitting themselves until they break bones or disjoint parts, others burn, and the most known one, the sharp-cutting type of pain. In my case I respond to the sharp-cutting type of pain more than anything. It depends of the type of pain your body reacts to and releases endorphins.
Relapses can happen but all your work staying clean is still worthy of your pride and accomplishment.
Keep the good fight. I'm proud of every effort you do. Don't think about being clean for one month, 6 months, a year... Do it one day at the time, fractions of the day at the time, you'll see how time flies. You are not alone, you are not disgusting, you are not less than others because you deal with this struggle. You deserve love, respect, patience and compassion. ❤

I’m proud to say that I have gotten rid of my self harm addiction… I once cut myself with scissors and small knives… and I also had suicidal thoughts to overdose on my medication… I’m so happy that I’ve gotten rid of it.
You got self harm addiction completely right. When I was having withdrawals from it, I would feel deep, imaginary cuts all over my body and this would go on for over a week after having a period of greater reliance. Currently I’m 3 months clean and finally intending to keep it that way :)
Serious question how do u even start hurting ur self and also if u like stub ur toe or some shit on accident do u like it?
you like chicken?
I guess
love it
Are you trying to give me food addiction? 🤨
i like chicken when its not dead
@@havenshaw7856HAHAHAH
great vids as always
Appreciate it!
Relationship addictions are more common for people with BPD, and can be with friends, parents, kids, or anyone they depend on for validation. I have a favorite person and a lot of what you described falls under that dynamic. Very codependent and hard to live with, but when they’re your everything, you rather die than lose them. But your codependency can push them away, which ends up hurting you anyway. It’s a struggle
I had self-harm addiction, but I managed to quit it. But sometimes (once per month) I do it a little bit, so still working
As a kid i had a strong masturbation addiction and it fucking sucked
The main reason is because i somehow found out about it it at a VERY young age (i think i was 4 or 5) and it was really hard to overcome, despite the many times I've tried to quit
If you've neber masturbated before, don't start, just wait until you have sex to feel the pleasure
And everyone thinks it's a joke when you mention it so you can't really talk about it with anyone
Bro really started edging in kindergarten
Samee
How did you quit I'm trying
@@imisaneread the easy peasy method bro, im now 19 and after many years im one month clean!!
Had no idea such things as religion addiction existed, great video as always!
Really? It's the same as a cult addiction. For instance, take maga republicans. They cannot, WILL not listen to anyone else or even consider that someone else may have valid opinions, despite not agreeing with them. They are head-over-heels in love with 45, even comparing him to 'Jesus.' If that's not an addiction, there ain't no such thing.
Being addicted to religion is the best thing that can happen to you
Because it doesn't exist. Most of the things he said like "hanging out with people in your religion only" Isn't an addiction and its a good thing
@@gamingwithmeobviously5753 thats being closed minded brother lmao
@@dado1208Do you spend time with people who share your hobbies and interests more often than those who don't? You have "Friend Addiction." Do you spend more time with your spouse than other people relationally? You have "Marriage Addiction." You spend more time asleep than any other recreational activity in one sitting? You have "Sleep Addiction."
Your definition of addiction based on normal patterns of community as close mindedness eliminate the meaning of the concept of addiction in the first place.
wdym bro, 99% of gamblers quit before their big win, you're lying bro
2 years clean from self harm :) I struggle with codependency as well but am slowly getting better and better
Well done!❤
Good video. Best one i seen in a while, even
So I'm addicted to caffiene (consumed through coffee, tea, soft drinks, and energy drinks) and eating gushers. With caffiene, I can go awhile getting small amounts through chocolate and soft drinks like coke zero, but I generally consume 120 mg to 300 mg on a normal day, but the dosage is broken up so I'm not going crazy and can focus. When it comes to eating gushers, it has to do with the flavor and texture. Now, these addictions aren't interfering with my life. I just consume those things mainly for the taste.
Do you have ADHD?
Oh you're not addicted, Karen.
Ive had a relationship addiction and it was awful. If you find that your losing yourself to be your partner or all you happiness relies on your partner, please end the relationship. Once I did, I was so much more happy, and i felt like a pressure had just gone off of my chest.
As a muslim praying gives me an amazing feeling and comfort
Yup prayers are mandotory and are higher priority than work and our desires
If you pray regulary and dont miss you are muslim not relegiously addicted
And tbh its the only thing that keeps you feeling free even if you don't have many options in life or are stuck
Its like rest
While being actually addicted is exauhsting
Btw when i saw relegious addiction at first i thought he meant relegious scriptrue collectors
Yep, that's addiction.

Have to disagree with religious addiction. Religon isnt something to be measured by "other people." Religion actually calls for the opposite of moderation. People who are "moderate" often do religion because their friends and family do it.
People who do substances often do so because they were influenced by family and friends who also do substances.
Religion like all things doesn’t have to be an addiction. But MRI scans have shown that religious activity can stimulate the same parts of the brain as heroin. Religious addiction can lead to violence, extremism and alienation of ‘blasphemers’ even if they are family or friends.
Extremism is really the wrong definition to use in regard to people who hold the "incorrect understanding" of that religion that leads them hurt others. No religion advocates hurting people. The MRI scans don't tell the whole story. When I was a fanatic Christian years ago, I was being harrassed at the same time by my coworkers because I had anxiety along with being a fanatic. Harrassment and fanaticism together can definitely lead to negative results.
@@Harmonyoversegregation-gq1qd"No religion advocates hurting people"
That is right, however, they (can) justify it. As addiction like drug, alcohol addictions make addicts' life revolve around these substances, religion can do the same. And only CAN. Like with everything there is a healthy amount. Same applies to religion. But fanatism leads to extremism and vice versa. That's not healthy, and in fact, is dangerous.
"Can" is the right word. However, in the realm of practicing religion, the professionals in the field would be priests, nuns, monks, etc. Anyone outside of that really has no say of "religious moderation." A medical doctor cant tell thier patient "You're being too religious, you need to tone it down a bit for your health." They can only say something like, "Since you're a vegan for religious reasons, you need to eat more beans and nuts to accommodate your lack of eating meat for your health. That is why religious addiction shouldn't be a thing. It is not like alcoholism, substance abuse, or other addictions that actually physically and mentally harm your health.
Great work sir!❤❤❤
I did selfharm for 2 yars but I've managed to stop, didn't realise it was an addiction tho, sadly to this day I have to live with the scars, people are often judgemental about them in the few occasions where I can't hide them
could you do skin conditions pls?
Hey!! Can you do one with more rare medical conditions? I have MCAD and I would love too see it explained clearly, I struggle to clearly understand MCAD and what it really does thanks! ❤
I seriously appreciate that the self harm addiction was mentioned
Got a jack Daniel’s ad right after the alcohol addiction segment
LMAOOO
I've been through a P- Addiction until I dropped it because my partner at the time said she was very upset with it. How it damages both men and women.
Other than that, I am not even addicted to Caffeine. I have no addictions.
How did you stop it
@@yahiaeslam9900One day I woke up and said to myself "This is it, I need to stop it now." I was going to work and then just deleted all my photos I saved, deleted my Reddit account, blocked all the spam emails, etc. I went into work and powered my phone off. After I got into my relationship I told her and she was proud of me. Ever since then if I happen to peak at anything out of curiosity, I don't get a reaction from my body. It's about discipline. Good luck.
It surprises me about how difficult it is to regain confidence after letting go of things even before they truly become addictions.(i hope that makes sense)
After taking part in a little bit of each of these things it took me 9 months to feel in control of myself again. I noticed myself becoming consumed in constantly wanting to be drunk after being drunk only 4 different times- and it took 9 months of holding myself back to feel okay with myself (I hope that makes sense). And sometimes with things like sh I'll relapse because of something triggering.
Can you do a part 2,,, video game addiction, cell phone/ social media addiction, home improvement addiction
Drug and alcohol as 2 different topics is actually insane😭
I mean it makes sense to me, they have completely different places in society, and need to be approached and understood differently. I can’t just go to a Chili’s and order heroin with my meal. Alcohol consumption is very normalized in our society, readily available at restaurants, stores, and events. I have a lot of family who’ve struggled with alcohol (ex. lost my father to it last year) and drugs (ex. my aunt is a recovering addict) and they are very, very different.
@@Saintcynicaltrue but they should instead call it easy drugs and hard drugs, because alcohol is a drug and ecstasy is too theyre just on different levels, edit: nicotine is also an easy drug
@@Saintcynical yeah tbh they should just be labled as legal and illegal drugs. I think that wouldn't be such a bad idea
@@tobisasam3904 yes that’s a good distinction to make, I agree 🤝
@@guestTGX I’m not sure if you mean easy to obtain or easy to recover from (comparatively), but either way everyone’s experience with addiction is gonna be different. I kinda get what you’re saying tho 🫶
Religion addicts: I can stop praying whenever i want
One crucial addiction should have been added to the list. Mindless scrolling addiction. It is one is the most common addiction these days. People just cannot stop picking their phone and start scrolling TikTok, Instagram reels, UA-cam shorts etc. giving a false sense of knowledge because their minds are used to absorb new information in 2 minutes, shortening the attention span and creating a craving for “new information “ that they don’t actually receive. And now, with the targeted content based on consumer’s profile, it has become like a informational pandemic.
I'm a relationship addict, tried to fight it my whole life. Lost 15kg after the breakup, worked on myself and thought it was finally over until I loved again. The same toxic cycle is still repeating itself. I need help
...so my gym addiction is basically just healthy self-harm
Yup 🤠
So glad ppl have started to recognize self harm as the addiction it is. Like unironically it got so bad that thinking about cutting would make me salivate and flustered.
One thing I struggle to understand with pain addiction is how it starts, like where does the idea of hurting oneself come from.
The Relationship addiction and explanation hit me hard
4:40 "Oh, so you doin' the bending?"
Even with his monotonous voice, I could still tell he wasn't having the best time making that first one.
My father has a relationship addiction to his former(now late) wife. She divorced him almost 15 years ago now and he still hasn't gotten another wife or girlfriend. This also isn't for lack of interest, he's been propositioned by co-workers and my older brother set up at least one date which he refused to go. He just stubbornly refuses to move on, even 15 years on and nearly half a decade after her death.
I dont see a lot of people talking about relationship addiction nor have i heard of the concept before but it makes sense, as someone who was majorly bullied throughout middle school the first real relationship i had i got extremely addicted to, even though she was toxic as chernobyl i said id rather change myself to be more like that than to leave and not have anyone again
In the end keeping contact was much worse for my mental state than being lonely was and with help from my mom i finally escaped that addiction
I have the same problem right now. We broke up last month because he cheated but the funny part was that he broke up because I'm still wanting us to work :,)
Lil bro, why would you quit gambling, its literally free money, the casinos are so generous
😂
Per religious addiction: I haven't noticed a fixation on ritual in itself as much as a compulsion to try to rationalize its doctrines & defensiveness/projection/hostility regarding any perceived dissent from those doctrines.
Quick tip for those with self-harm addiction….Hit the gym. I had some problems with that stuff cuz of anxiety, and I gotta say, pumping the iron and feeling muscle hurt gave me pretty much the same euphoric feeling at a way healthier price.
Do phobias next
Dude made addictionballs 💀
A quick explanation like this is good for an internet primate like me, I watch too much UA-cam 😵💫
