It really is hard to believe that its even possible to be happy without meds when you cannot remember what itslike or even if you ever were happy without meds.
@@SAMEntalhealth of course I've learned, "happy" is a relative term and few people if any can truly say they are, "happy" I think it's best to just be satisfied with who you are and help others when you can.
Yeah all the videos like this are based on the assumption that you were happy before you started using. Which often isn’t true.
Ryan you're extremely aware of the way opiate addiction affects the mind and body. I'm amazed at what you say because it's like you're reading my mind. I'm doing the running, lifting in the gym, writing my music but there's still days I feel moments of just no passion for anything and my kind keeps telling me you should just pop a Roxy and stay cool but I know I can't. It's very frustrating. Not only is this a process of recovery but a process of discovery. I'm learning how strong my mind game is and starving out that voice of deceit. I watch you brother when paws hits me. Thanks for making videos. I'm 7 days today , feel good but now it's the mind game. Thanks for reminding us how strong we really are bro.
RIP Ryan
I'm 35 days clean and still getting watery eyes, sneezing, and unhappy as hell. I can't stand living like this, and it never gets better for me.
one day at a time .. you can be happy again and if the depression is acute .. you can seek medical support -- but things will get better .
How you feel now ???
how are you now?
Man before my addiction I used to love going to the gym. I would honestly go to bed thinking I can't wait for tomorrow to see what I can do next. I was steadily improving. Since my addiction it's like it's a job. I have to drag myself to the gym. I've gained 30 lbs because my diet Isn't right even though I do still workout. I believe the stuff slows the metabolism down or something. Day 3 baby and I'm going to the gym right now. Drops the mic :-)
danny lewis It does slow down your metabolism as my doctor confirmed!
Day 2
Brother,..Thank You for these vids. From ALL of us. We are NOT alone. We all feel like this. Keep doing what you do. Again, Thx and more power to you!
How can you not be happy with a beard like that?!
Hi Ryan,
Been battlong afdictiond for years alcohol,opiayes,adderall,benzos I have been n trmt programs,AA,NA....ECT. I dont know how i got so messed up but i also have bipolar depression. O cycle from opiates withdraw then nacl to addetall. I feel so detached now its just numbness. Saw your video and it really hit me what you said. It gave me hope and so enlightening! Thankyou
It's kinda cliche but the grass is 100% greener on the sober side of the fence. I'm a recovering IV drug user and never thought I'd make it; pushed my body to the brink of death but I'm here and grateful for everyday. What Ryan is saying is 💯: happiness will come.
Thank you for your videos my friend. They give me hope & strength.
Oh yeah thanks for sharing your videos I will be sure to share them with my S.O.
Hey Ryan,i jeep watching your videos even at this advanced state of recovery(3months now!) And i would like to suggest you to make a video on when ppl stop getting this strong natural highs that they used to get at their early recovery and when life starts to be like it used to be like before drug usage,thats when most of people who made it succesfully through the first weeks/months of recovery begin to have fears of relapce.
Anyway thanks a lot and god bless you.
Pink cloud syndrome I just had it the other day
my name is Angela I have been in rehab and been clean almost a month and the anxiety is crazy I cry all the time for no reason
Day 2 of tapering, no sleep no energy. Anyone help with ideas? I want to feel again.
hi ryan,im a 10 year heroin addict,now I have been on methadone for another10 years so thats a20 year span of opiate addiction,I am starting to taper my methadone(in Ireland we call M soup).I was on 90 mls for years and have got down to60 mls,am reducing by 5 mls a week,I tried cold Turkey 3 times on the heroin and failed miserably,ended up in hospital and as soon as I got out I Immediately had a turn on and was back to full on heroin addiction,any ideas on how to kick my soup addiction?
Hey Ry.. I have been watching your videos ever since you posted your first vid when you were doing just Free From Hell. I found those videos at the perfect time in my life, because just like you I was at my highest on 500mg of oxy and just so low at 29 yrs of age. My brother tried to help me and i would get clean for weeks at a time but always relapse bc I just couldnt cope. I am a musician and even music which I love more than anything except my friends and family I couldnt play or didnt feel good playing without being on oxy or heroin. I was lying to my only brother and things got really bad when my mother found a bunch of pills in my apartment during a casual visit and she had been suspecting for a while cause I had $19,000 in my savings account before I started using and blew every penny and then some. Borrowing money from my parents and friends and it was becoming obvious something was up bc I was so good at leading this double life. Long story short I finally was able to get honest with myself and I knew it was either jail or death and I looked in the mirror and knew I wanted a new life and actually save my life. Your videos and inspiration were so integral to my sobriety and I just wanted to say thank you. You are doing such a great thing for people and have given me inspiration to help others, just like how in a round about way you helped me. So I just wanted to say that and hope your life is as good as mine. I cant stress to others how much exercise plays such an important role in recovery. Working out, MMA training and music saved my state of mind in terms of feeling like my old self again. So keep keeping on my man and with more people like yourself we will be able to beat this thing of addiction. Take care

Exactly. Thanks again bro I really appreciate everything you do for alot of people that really dont have a voice or even someone to listen.
Rip bro
Thank you - 5th attempt in 2015 ... day 1 on Nothing today.
those little victories!!!!!! heaven!!!!
Thanks, this helped alot!
I'm so gonna try harder!
Psychedelics too! Yippie :)
Thank you for sharing....
it's all in your head. once the meds are completely outta your system, it's like starting over again. .ftw
i don't See why people try cold turkey and suffer. . just tell your doctor you wanna taper off your meds. but if your just buying them then good luck with that
Say not Never be happy...but for me, never pain free...once it stopped working for pain relief - tolerance - no choice but to quit..a week ago now, no desire to go back at all, well ok, am I happy? I'm still mobility challenged & still have the on-going pain. Don't have the depenency which is good, but don't have the pain relief either on OR off it now, so....
Hi Ryan,tim from ireland again,as well as opiate addiction I am also bi polar so am on lots of psych meds,venaflaxine,mirtazapine,olnzapine,promethazine,zopiclone and seroquel and methadone,I am afraid of slipping into psychosis when in methadone withdrawal,should I do my withdrawl in hospital or try it at home,I have had several suicide attempts,cut my wrists,deliberate od;s and I even jumped under a car,broke my leg and shoulder,I am so afraid of withdrawl sending me over the edge as methadone has me tranquilized to such an extent that I think I will have psychotic episodes once its gone.Any advice would be much appreciated,
@helium30.. I no it’s been a while and hope ur doin good but just wanted to say that if u didn’t die then then there’s something greater much much greater for u.. don’t give up.. weh the time is rite .. you’ll no.. jus sayin if ur still on all those meds still try detoxing in a safe environment.. hospital !! 🙏
2 weeks seems so lonf
It's been about a year since I've taken any opiates, I used for more than a decade. I went to a methadone clinic for about a year (still using for a while when I began). I had held onto a stash of suboxone while I was going to the clinic in case I needed it coming off methadone. I've been away from the clinic since October & taking as little suboxone as possible to keep from getting sick. I don't have users in my life, basically my mom, son & boyfriend are the only people I interact with. Anyway, I've been proud of myself, but this happy thing is becoming something that makes the urge to use stronger and stronger. Everyone seems tired of me lying around being depressed most of the time, I'm tired of it too. The urge is coming from that, I could happily clean the house, have fun, be affectionate if I had an opiate or even methadone maybe, still mostly counts as an opiate though doesn't it.. I'm thinking of trying NA but I'm afraid it will be the same crowd as the clinic, people selling drugs in the parking lot. Any advice on that or any of my situation? I went through severe boughts of depression before I was an addict also and should begin seeing a psychiatrist within the month, but I'm not going to start bk on anti depressants so idk if it'll do any good to see one.. Anyway, thanks for all the videos you've made. This is my first time checking them out, it's a good thing you're doing here
Ur a great dude.
Thanx, 3 weeks.
J P I'm 5 days in feeling surprisingly good. What should I expect in week 3? I know everyone is different but you know what I meen.? Thanks.
I'm still trying to get my energy and motivation back, im eating and excersizing like suggested. I'm still sneezing though, my emotions are starting to level out. It seems to get a little better everyday.
I am.16 days clean now, it is still hard but worth the hell. Life is better without the opium/ oxycodon/ fentanyl. Hang on and keep the spirit. Big love from Holland.
please some one tell me after how much time i can get sleep i am getting mad this is the fourth day i havenot slept for single hour in this 4 days please help me god i am an heroien addict for 1.5 years please some one help me
Monka manoj how are you doing now? Are you still clean? I’m 24 days off Subutex and it does get easier .... sleep will not be easy for quite a while. I dream/ shake and sweat (waking throughout the night). Try and find a doctor if you are not sleeping to give you something non-addictive to help you sleep. If you 2 weeks in try cardio and weights (exercise). Try and tire yourself out. I hope you are doing well Manoj. God bless
Day #4 there's nothing about this I will miss. I have pain but I'd rather ache then be empty. I can't anymore! I refuse!
Sheree Robinson it's get better it took about 20 days for me to feel completely normal. God is with you
Hi everyone im at day 13 and i feel soo good. I started riding and going for walks i cant agree with you more Ryan. Exercise is key to recovery and i know im in the honeymoon stage atm but its great. I can achieve anything i want now. Thanks mate.
Thankyou so much Ryan u saved my life. Thats no shit. I tried by myself for ages with no luck. Ur videos helped me and let me show my family what i had been doing cos it was my little secret. Im exercising everyday with my mum and contacting my real friends again. Things are so much better no everything is better. All the best from Australia. Ur a champion.
I forgot to say which is really important. If you need help promoting ur calm support or just helping people here in Australia i will do anything needed to make this Global. Im inspired big time. Let me know if this interests you. All the best bro. Cheers
on day 8 should I be feeling happy? I've got through physical withdrawal now it's a lot of mental and emotional. I'm just wondering if I will feel happy again and when.
just reading your post and was wondering how you are doing?
eldorado verizon how are u doing now?
I'm not in recovery, but that's not for lack of trying. One of the main things that stops me from staying clean is the very context of this video. Im clean 4 days. Sick as hell. There is no "zest" here and it's killing me.
+Sebastien Barker I am with you ,Brother!
+Sebastien Barker its very hard I have been 2 days and feel like why ,,when am I going to happy or just wanting to get up dressed and go feeling when?????
***** I do know what it's like. I would be lying to talk about the light at the end of the tunnel. I am not there. Not even close. After years of binging and detoxing, I haven't committed to getting right. Mine is mostly mental. I have dealt with physical symptoms,,it's the craving that brings me back. I don't pray alot but I am asking the Universe to lead you and everyone to peace and calm, and life without this need~
thank-you I got my pills today so im all good--not!!I take has precibed but some months I take a few more than run short ,but most times don't..I take 40mg norca.I was out for two days than .now all is ok.
***** My friend, I too do more than prescribed. And I go without. It's then,,,at my lowest, I say I'm not gonna give in to this crap. But then I do. Good to hear you are feeling better.
I love your vids. I'm in the in between, wanting to let go and clinging on. My path is a very long one. 20 yrs ago it started with a parent (I was a wee child) and I watched how they got completely out of control and then one day just randomly I found myself in the pill bottle. Trying to juggle school and recently getting over a heartbreak I needed an escape and alcohol wasn't allowed for me so getting into those beautiful orange bottles of hell were an alternative. It didn't occur to me that I was an addict til I was and I went through my first withdrawal. Nearly ten years later I'm still on the roller coaster ride from hell. When I lost the love of my life we had both gotten clean and on a good path but he was convinced by his own drug addict mother that I was a gold digging whore and blackmailed him into breaking up with me. I have never been so broken. Ive been trying to put the pieces back together but it's hard to do when you are right in the trigger zone (my parents home) and you are in the realm of where you couldn't give two shits.
I just read your post four years after you wrote it and I truly hope life is going well for you .You seem like a great person and yes I know ADDICTION IS HELL
Big beard 😩
You look like lanka his car very messy not wash
