Don't blame drugs and alcohol blame yourself be a man be a woman for once in your life
@@paullujan5656And yet... here you are, blaming men and women. Thanks for the laugh, slick 😂
The one thing I've learned from Steve-O is we must evolve as people. This guy is the living embodiment that it's never too late to make a change. Most people reach 40 and think it's over, when it's really not.
Yea man. He’s inspiring. Addiction is a serious battle. When you think you beat it and it’s in your past, is when it comes storming back
Same goes for brandon novak or matthew pritchard (from dirty sanchez) that man did so much more then steve o, got sober and now does iron mans, even double iron mans.
Maybe it is over. Once you lock into a family and a career that takes all of your time. It is rewarding but you can forget about your dreams of adventure.
@@scottashe984 incorrect. Don’t mean to be insensitive but the business of life keeps you busy yes, but addiction is a day at a time battle. There is a reason alcoholism and drug addiction is considered a disease…
@@scottashe984 I'm guessing you're young? All a family does is create more stress. Now you're looking after others, not just yourself. Some people use that to better themselves, others crumble.
Some would also say it's a different kind of adventure.
Just playing devils advocate.
I’ve battled with addiction . I’ve learned to have 1-2 beers and call it a night, but I can’t have weed, or cocaine without it immediately becoming a 24/7, life destroying habit. I miss the fun times I had when I first started, but the fun is gone and it’s just sad.
I’m sober from drugs now (coke 4 years, weed about a month) but now I’m battling food addiction pretty hard.
It’s tough not being addicted to anything, and Steve-O’s story gives me hope that one day, I too can be a wild old man without a vice.
Let’s hope I can beat my habit before I’m 400 pounds.
I gotta find a healthy thing to get addicted to in place of everything else.
Exercise can be very addictive. I don’t recommend this to people with normal testosterone levels, but if you are aging and your levels are low I think it is absolutely worth it to go on TRT. The side effects of low testosterone in men are extreme (depression, weight gain, certain cancers, etc). JRE is probably a large part of why it has become somewhat de stigmatized in the last few years.
I was really fat as a kid and teenager, spent years working the weight off, now as an adult my appetite fluctuates with my activity level, which makes “intuitive eating” much easier. I think that term is silly, but the results are real.
Nearly got the same thing, just with alcohol. If I even take a little sip of a beer I already know its gonna go, maybe a few days. But quitted smoking weed and coke years ago. I even can take a hit of a joint and just leave it. But alcohol... Damn.
Fairly similar bud, you ain't alone nor are you weak for admitting your addiction, it's literally the first step to recovery.
I'd done a buncha blow in my 20s, almost always at a party, I was lucky it didn't grab me, booze tho ... Man. I know I shouldn't so I usually don't but when I do... It's a void, throw any and everything you can Into it.
Then the struggle w weight began.
Giving up booze will help ALOT. but! Alot of your gut weight is escaped liquids from your liver from drinking,that's gna take some time to wick away but ! Keep goin brother.
Try an adderall addiction, it’ll help you lose weight. Or nicotine, somewhat harmless.
Go t9 the gym.buddy. you will get the dopamine and so.many benefits. Thats what I did and it works.well for.me.
Addiction sneaks up on you it's so strange how you don't notice.
I find I have to replace addictions with positive addictions like lifting weights
@@tiamut4817 Exactly! Rly good way to look at it
Same
@@tiamut4817 great representation.
Its what ewan mcgregor said in trainspotting 2: you are an addict, just be addicted to something else!
Now imagine you cant do it because your shoulder is fucked and you need surgery. And at the same time you know training your body will replace that and you did that in the past. And at the same time you just found a job you would love but you get the information that you need surgery the week before you start the job - and the surgery will make you not able to work for 3 months. Fuck life
I love Steve-O so much! I lost my dad in 2020 to a lifelong addiction to drugs. Steve was someone my dad and I could enjoy. We loved him so much in jackass. Steve is a living legend and I’m so hyped for him. He’s giving people like myself a reason to stay clean and focus on my mental health
I met Steve O... saw him jump off a roof in Albuquerque way back & will always have his back, admire him, whatever. What a trip that we are both sober now! Thanks Steve! Thanks Joe!
Does have your back? Or even know you?
He jumped off a roof omg sweet memory you clown lmaoo
jfc what is wrong with people
i’ve never seen anyone be praised for simply not being a scumbag as a grown adult before
like cool bro you used to be a scumbag now you’re not as much of a scumbag. that’a like the bare minimum and somehow this dork has fans bc of it lol
brain dead out here for sure
@@abrahamtirado5264 always gotta have that one hater
@@wagwon1297 party poopers lmaooo
Fascinating to hear everyone's stories about addiction. If you're in a dark place, keep your head up, time heals!
I love you Thankyou for that i hope your channel grows quickly !!!
@claude ok mister macho man. Shut up.
If time had healing power it would be out to charm you
Iam 27, when i was in last year of high school depression stopped by, and i went down hill from. I started to do meth a lot.. I disconnected from everyone besides my family , and not because i acted them nicely. One LSD trip spent talking with my friend , and therapy sessions made it for me. I know spent 3+ hours a day studying math, during job. And i plan to go college next year. If anyone who can relate read this, dont give up. Its not going to be easy, but it will be so much worth than being old drug junkie left even by closest ones. :)
What Steveo said at 1:55 is so true. Doesnt matter as much as to what caused it, it matters what ur gonna do to take care of it.
Ehh, finding the cause is the only way to assure you don't just start another fire... Putting out the fire is just the first step.
To be more literal, detox and sobering up means nothing if you jump right back into our habits that led you there
@@gamingphone7201I agree. That was actually a severely naive comment by Steve. He’s not only been a drug addict but a food addict, sex addict, attention addict etc etc so there’s something within him clearly “lighting these fires” after he puts the last one out
"how'd the fire start? Who cares. Address the fire." Wise words.
I’m a LCDC and for us The key is not finding something else so much, but is to find several something else’s. It’s finding the balance in life between work, home, school, fun, sex, exercise, etc. Living a balanced life, so that the behavior of the substance use disorder doesn’t translate over to something else, and the cycle can continue.
Edit: also there are many factors that play into substance use disorders, it can be nature and nurture, who you put yourself around or remove yourself from. Environment can play a roll, but at the end of the day we all have choice, and our choices are what define us.
I've been trying to quit drinking this entire year. It's so hard. The worst part about it is the anxiety and panic when I stop. It has almost made me faint several times. All I have to do to get rid of the feeling is to drink again. Finally I will be sober for a week or two and the pink cloud will wear off, and all I do is stare at the wall or floor before going and getting alcohol again. Vicious cycle, but at least I'm fighting.
You're not alone I just had my own epiphany, sadly it took my probation officer coming to check on me and finding me completely drunk out of my mind im only 163 lbs 21 years old and I blew a 3.9 completely lucid but I've been told at this rate alcohol will kill me...its been three years drinking every weekend benders for days and then work and repeat the cycle must and will end...its all mental fortitude. You're not alone friend its possible I wish you well on your journey its the hardest thing I've had to do but it'll happen eventually with time. Head up
@@jackhammercombo Thanks for the words man. I wish the best for you. You're really young, I envy that you're mindful enough to realize how bad at is at your age. I've been a drinker for 18 years. This past year I wanted to quit because the hangovers started to get too intense. So it's been a battle of roughly 2 weeks on/2 weeks off. Every time I get back on I hate myself. I'm 3 days off right now and feel great. Going to try a medicine to curb cravings this time.
Keep fighting bro
Benzo and alcohol are the worst. I've been on benzos for like 20 years. It's terrifying to try to stop I've had at least a dozen seizures trying to stop. Both alcohol and Benzos are the only 2 things that you can die from by going cold turkey. Keep fighting. it's the GABA receptors in the brain
@@hyvsan9425 Took a week off, had to get a 6 pack. Light stuff. Had to.
2 sons grew up with an alcoholic father. 1 grew up to be an alcoholic and 1 grew up to be tee total. When they were both asked what happened they both had the same answer, "I watched my dad"
That’s so deep. But yet so simple.
I could literally listen to Steve-O tell stories for the rest of my life. Listening to him tell a story is like reading the best book and watching the best movie at the same time and idk how to explain that lmao
My dad was an addict but i never had problem with it. I smoked and testet some drugs. But i easily quit that as soon as I wanted. That was like 14 years ago. I am glad that i could do this.
I can’t stop replaying 00:32 and listening to Steve-o just crack up
My father's side had many addicts. He was able to avoid it...myself, not so much. I hate how much I've hurt him and my mother
I hope you’re able to heal all the relationships in your life, your parents will always love you ❤
@@LijE945 I never screwed anyone over or stole or robbed anyone or anything like that, but I hurt them and I hate myself for it.
@@TheRealBDoubleI’ll be praying for your relationship with them🙏
I'm in the same boat man. Hope that one day I can forgive myself for the pain I've caused my fam. Wishing you the best.
@@zacharyh6361 My mother keeps telling me "one day you have to forgive yourself". I know I do. One of these days
Sober alcoholic, a hellacious ride... Educated and sober now I see how the "switch" got flipped on the first time I drank... Led to a horrendous series of choices and events all fueled by my addiction that spanned almost two decades.
Life is better without it, lucky to be alive
So glad for you brother, iit is a hella disease./ Meg
I used different drugs for like over 11 years, and im only 27. In February it will be 5 years without drinking. In May I will be 2 years sober from Oxycodone, Suboxone and Fentanyl. But Unfortunately I couldn't kick Cocaine, Xanax, Klonopin, and Adderall until a few months ago. Addiction is serious. But I'm finally getting better slowly.
God bless you my man, you got this
proud of u bro
Thanks Steve-0 for mentioning the smashing machine documentary. I'm about halfway through it right now.
So many people refer to addiction as a solitary struggle but, in my experience, surrounding yourself with good, clean, knowledgeable people is just about the best way to sustained success. In AA and NA they encourage you to seek out a sponsor, someone to speak to regularly who can give you honest advice as to your behaviors. Call you out on your B.S.
You don't have to go the 12-step way but you need good people in your life.
Lawrence...Sounds like it is working for you, thanks for your experience, strength and hope. Meg
A.A. never worked for me. I did the whole program. The 12 steps, etc. I did the program for 2 years but, quit for 10 years and something made me want to start drinking again.
The fellowship of AA has been life changing for me.
@@disorderly_mama I am not in any way ashamed to admit that reaching out for help and looking to others for honesty and fellowship has saved my life. I went to in-patient treatment for 60 days and learned how to get started on a new life. I put in the work and remain humble as I strive for just one more day of sobriety. AA might not be for everyone but the program, and the many wonderful people I met along the way, have contributed to 14 years clean and sober.
One day at a time, disorderly_mama!
@@carmenbrown3437being an addict is for life . Stay connected
Steve-O is legit how he talks about his last so amazingly
Yup that’s me. Battled severely with addiction. Sober for twenty five years. Workaholic. Study then own business. Same obsession. Much better life though.
Props to steve o, he made a positive change and is still very relevant
I am a "professional addict" myself. Through many many 28 day vacations I was surprised to find out that gambling addicts are at the highest risk of suicide over all addictions. It can be very progressive. You can lose everything in seconds where other addictions can take years.
great point! unfortunately the host of this show believes you should just not do it and get your life together. all the while the people he defends are force-feeding gambling addicts at every turn in order to rake every penny they can squeeze out of man..nice advice Joe.....
@@conservaliberalNot at all what he said
hence the great point! pot calling kettle black was the point. ill make sure to reiterate next time around.......................bag of nickels!!!!@@Digital_PeterGriffin
Cant believe Steve is still here. Has so many hits on him
Steve o is the fuckin man it's hard to stop any drug once your deep in it..and he came out alive..bigg respect
Fitness was always with me through my addiction to alcohol. I guess it kept me alive. My new vices are playing the drums and art. I have no clue how that last one got into the mix. 😂😂😂. It just turned out to be something that I was pretty good at.
My grandad was an alcoholic and my mum, sister and brother are alcoholics, and my other sister had a problem with drinking and drugs when she was younger. I barely drink at all and cant stand to be around drunk people
I lived with a alcoholic father and was told stories by addicts, and knew where booze and drugs lead. Education is the answer.
Education could definitely help. You are very correct on that.
I’m in my last year of college at a fairly prestigious school and I’ve seen innocent tame individuals go to full blown alcoholics in a matter of a year or two. Education helps but it’s not the answer.
Same. But i think alcoholic mother is 100% worse since i have no empathy for weakness of men but for women is other thing.
@@duncancatley5806 not education as in the act of going to school/university, but learning the journeys of others. There is only so much room for clarifying in a post.
School is an easy place to go off the rails if not properly grounded in knowing what is right or best.
The interview or doc or whatever with steveo where he describes being up for days in some shitty hollywood apt with all the curtains closed doing poppers and coke. When the shadow people got so real they sat next to him on the couch and then walked through a wall was some of the most disturbing drug shit I ever heard.
Currently fighting my hardest battle with addiction. Ketamine, it's fucking rough
Drugs all through my family I’m 23 living away from that now but it definitely affected me and I’m still learning to cope with the trauma it caused i because susceptible to gambling just kicked the habit 1 month clean 🎉
The sad thing about generational addiction is it doesn’t stop until someone gets help and stops itn
This why when ppl say there to far gone or they'll never change,it's not true,there tonnns to ppl out there who you would never think they would change or get clean who do,Steve O's a prime example of that,
Love your honesty Steve-O
DMT, LSD and psilocybin containing mushroom are just amazing with so many health benefits. Psilocybin mushrooms treatment saved my life honestly from addiction and depression. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Yes! Very sure of Dr.alishrooms
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.
How do i reach out to him? Is he on insta
Man Stevo is a walking trainwreck. I'm glad he's woken up to his addictive personality He's been clean for a good while...good for him.
The nature nurture debate is wild; but as someone with a long history of addiction (I've been addicted to every different drug, tried nearly 350 different drugs), I must say the nature side was waning in my mind. None of the rest of my family, both sides, have ever had drug problems, alcohol problems, gambling issues etc. For a long time I thought I must have been adopted because I'm like an alien in my family but now I see it's just a gung ho attitude that I've inherited. A lot of my family have this and I now see that it was more that I wanted to be the best drug addict I could be and I was. Now I'm clean 6 months, it was surprisingly easy too!
What I seen is that some people have an addictive personality and when u know u struggle to control yourself it’s sometimes good to stay away from things that can become easily addictive
Funny how low regulation and costs were in the 90's and how few alcoholics people considered themselves despite by todays standards almost all 1990's drinkers would be considered alcoholics by today standards. It used to be pretty easy to get wasted by alcohol considerably in the 1990's.
.
Craft beer is making it comeback though with 11% lagers becoming the norm ^o^
@@Tom-sm8fw pretty sure it's got mostly to do with your liver
Steve o and mike Tyson are two people who I thought would’ve been dead by the time I turned into an adult. They have both evolved into pretty decent humans.
man ive been on benzos for 6 years. steve o made me sure i can get over this stuff
As someone who's never really been prone to addiction and has done many addictive things, I wish I could understand addicts better.
Addiction literally grabs you by the balls and won’t let you go . You have to fight it off with everything you have . You find out about your determination when you are in that situation.
We just don’t have control over our actions, at least in active addiction. I remember driving to my pill guys house, internally screaming “wtf are you doing?? STOP, GO HOME”, but I just couldn’t turn the car around. It’s like the drugs took control of the wheel, and I couldn’t stop. Even when I knew it was literally killing me, I just couldn’t stop.
I think addiction is hard to see because it's rooted in denial. I didn't think I was addicted to anything until I tried reducing my added sugar intake and struggling hard to stop binging on chocolate and jellies.
apparently dr Joe knows all about it. you just do what he says. since all of you have the money, opportunity, assistance, and time. hahaha. this is the epitome of how far rogan is disconnected from reality
You think u different huh? 🤣🤣
The story behind why people do drugs and abuse substances is not as easy as wondering if it's nature vs. nurture in origin.
I have addiction issues too, but I'd never define how it's effected me versus other people who deal with it.
Genetics might play to the role of predisposition in addiction, but that's not why people get attached to these behaviors. It's a routed idea that let's you enjoy pleasure when you can't find it anywhere else. A pleasant lie of happiness is always going to be more appealing than a promise that always breaks.
This was beautifully wrote
Damn, thats poetic
@@triscuit2314 You think? I feel like it could have been better. Then again, I'm not trying to achieve a reward for speaking my mind lol.
@@lemonglataitor2123 Really? It wasn't my intention. That's just how I express myself lol.
@@atthecore4560 Yeah, I feel people with deep issues such as addiction tend to be accidently the most introspective poetic mfers by accident, my dad is like that.
My mate was a serious gambling addict to the point that when he won big, he’d be disappointed that he never put more on and would chase those extra winnings till big win was spent and then some, my jaw was on the floor when he told me that
I saw my uncle sit down at a blackjack table with $80 and turn it into $80 thousand and then blow it all and end up $18 thousand in the hole in one night. I remember begging him to walk away. Not gonna happen.
6 years sober from booze! Addiction is real. But it can be beat. It was a struggle but I won! 🤘🤘💪💪
Just seen his Bucket List Special and had a chance to talk to him for a sec, such a crazy guy 🤘
Lucky bastard!
I could listen to Steve O for hours but that voice got me for 10 min.
8 years sober!
I still can't find when he was on Howard Stern before 06 sometime...he was saying PCP saved his life and stuff...before the full intervention times
Joe makes a good point here. Gambling addicts tend to celebrate a win like it’s the greatest thing that ever happened to them.
I went to a small casino on my 18th birthday (only slots no tables) it was my cousins treat and he gave me $40 to gamble with, not even kidding 3 spins in I win $200, my cousin was next to me and was like "Dude sick, lets cash out and go celebrate!" .... to which I said "hang on I'm up $160 maybe I can win more". Needless to say 10 min later I was down to $12.50 and cashed out with that and learned from that day on that I cannot trust myself to go to casinos and haven't been to one since. (I'm 34 now) It's only gambling too, I have no issue drinking or toking socially so idk why gambling was so much different for me.
My advice for what it’s worth, steer clear morning drinks. It was the accelerator of my alcoholism. You will be treating withdrawal symptoms all day/night.
Ayee Steve O said his dads dad was in WWll , so was my great grandpa. SALUTE .. makes sense from the age generation difference lol
Where can I find the full version?
I have two months sober. Thanks for all your advice Steve-O.
Drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, food, shopping etc. it all effects the same part of the brain. The instant gratification is a huge part of what brings us back. That dopamine overload physiologically becomes the addiction. Our brain stops naturally creating it or makes it minimally and depends on the substance or action.
We teach ourselves and create these behaviors when we’re feeling like shit we turn to whatever our addiction is to cope and it acts as a reward. How do we feel when we’re rewarded.?.?.happy. So we create these negative thinking errors and negative behaviors subconsciously that we’ll feel happy when we feed our cravings or pain to get that reward.
Love Steve-O
I had an addiction to fentanyl and other drugs but I’ve been clean since June 6 2018
As a gambling addict, can confirm that there's a bug rush when you win.
All but one uncle in at least three generations of men of my pops side are all addicts/alcoholics and majority also being a dual diagnostic mental health / substance addiction. It’s possible four generations of all the men but we don’t know that far
I met Steve-O in an AA meeting a few years back. (He's open about AA so I'm not breaking his anonymity) He was the speaker with over ten years and he seems pretty normal like anyone else although NO ONE in AA is normal anyway. 😂
I’m just addicted to feeling different
Shout out to whoever made the thumbnail. He knew exactly what he was doing with that face.
SteveO is really one of the few ppl, ill believe when they talks about drug problems being genetics!
and since he mentions gambling too, i would guess that the "reward system" in their brains might have a deficiency! that would explain, why so many would go for "replacement" feel-good things in his wider family! and why such things are "stuck" in the family trees.
often times generational curses pass addiction down
I could listen to Steve-o forever because he is a very wise mothafucka and obviously experienced shitloads of different and interesting things in life!! Steve-o and Joe in my opinion are one of the best human beings on this planet!!! Love you guys!! 🙏🤙🤙
My family is the opposite, my dads family is the wild bunch and my moms family is the brady bunch.
Steve-O gets his intelligence from his dads side of the family and his crazy bipolar addiction from his mothers side!
Which over all makes an amazing human being!
although genetically intelligence goes from mother's side, from the father of the mother of a person
Both of these guys are just awesome. Just do your sht and coast.
I got caught smoking weed when I was younger because my screen saver was Steve-o with a ton of weed in Africa. (What we now know was just Cali)
Africa > California
I love how much Steve0 has grown
Steve-O looks like a wise Japanese anime character sharing his wisdom and life expierences in this interview.
How could anyone ever talk shit on steveo? He’s the fuckin man he’s so cool and inspirational. Yeah Dude!
Xanax addiction was the hardest thing I ever overcame.
Yes sir, took me a year to wean off it with a doctor. Was terrible.
I honestly think, like Thomas Sasz, that what many people attribute to “gens” and “physical diseases”, is largely a way to try to get rid of your own personal responsability.
Remember i used to live near a guy who didnt work and was on benefits. The country im in have these slot machines in suoer markets. Every month he'd go straight to those machines and gamble til he lost it all. He'd come back so depressed. Then one day he came back and he was skipping. Totally over the moon. I asked him what happened. Said he won €40...
Never mind the €600 he spent to win that 40
1:29 - Being a drug addict is pretty close to playing Russian Roulette w/ a semi automatic.... No one wins and it's gonna take a death for people to step back and look at the situation and most people, including myself, have continued to play knowing the consequences. 😩
gambling is one of those things tat doesnt thrill me at all and its wild how something that isnt itself a drug gets a hold on people.
I could use a pedestal right now but matters of saturated ideals material witness programs keep me posted
Man Steve o is correct. I’m dealing with cocaine alcohol weed. Percocet. On both sides of my family my parents died of liver failure.
Amazing he got sober after all the stuff he did, much props to Steve-O
To get an interesting perspective on addiction check out Joe's relatively recent podcast with Dr. Gabor Mate. He goes into his book The Myth of Normal a bit in that one. Observe and learn about thyself -no judgements. Cheers
I'm so mad at tar from weed and cigs for giving me kidney cancer. I still vape canna flower and feel it in my lungs but I can't stop yet. I hate cigarettes so much I think I'll never smoke again but the high from edibles makes me feel anxiety but not vaping flower.
Everyone has an addiction something that makes you feel good it gives you endorphins the pleasure chemical ... It's when you become a junkie and make it your purpose your life everything that you have a problem.Anyone can become a junkie for anything and it's sad. But everyone has an addiction.
The problem with addiction is you can't just ditch addiction. You have to trade it for another one. There's unfortunately no way around this and we are all subject to it, there is absolutely no one who isnt past or present and anyone that argues against this is completely full of themselves
Its our reward centre.
Constantly seeking whatever the reward is. That’s neurological. NDT thinks we wont need mental health professionals anywhere near as much in the near future and id agree.
Neurology and neuropsychology are the game changers.
In 50 years, fingers crossed, addiction will just require a little neurological tweaking to address.
In the meantime, I still believe addiction is, for all intents and purposes, a disease.
It has all the behaviours of disease which includes the nurture debate.
I just watched Spotify version of this, it's unbelievable that Joe Rogan would say that that shot helps you a little bit, he knows that it's killing massive amounts of people what a shame what a shame
Addiction in my mind is primarily genetic and then all it takes is one bad day for you to be tempted to take something and now its all over, at least that's how it is for me.
I couldn't agree more. You shouldnt make something illegal just because it has the potential for being misused.
I like Joe's opinion.
Its silly to punish the good responsible people because of a few bad apples.
Thats why Im not a big fan of prevention because it harms everyone ( but mostly good people).
Fun fact: nobody ever wants to make fast food illegal even though it causes more damage than alot of illegal drugs...
Fast food doesn’t lead to violence, robbery, murder, or physical/emotional abuse.
@@703kwood703 true but it still kills. Alot...
Being an addict was part of his identity
I never really gambled much at all the one time I did and I hit that bonus on the machine it was like I hit some crack or something my heart started thumping instant pleasure. I won $400 then lost 200 on top of the four and that was the lowest I felt in a long time I almost got evicted from my apartment for that dumb mistake. I'll just smoke a j and I win a little bit every time 😂
My family is a mixed Bag too...I have total alcoholics, and its the WORST living with them........then I have family members including myself that can smoke or drink for 4 months straight, then Quit for a Year or whatever, many people have this gene in my family, of being able to completely switch it Off......it's really weird, but it's like "enjoying" the substance kinda heavily, but then being able to say I'm DONE, that's enough, and just walk away and focus on something else, it's weird to describe, like a switch....I have many family members that smoke cigarettes, then quit cold.....then 1 year later smoke for 1 month, then quit no with drawls, like it's no big deal.
Hey Mike...We call this type of addiction Episodic. Help is available....most people get worse as they age. Meg
i think its choices. people do tend to fall in line of what they see tho. monkey see monkey do
Joe, keeps doing you! Love you for that!!!!
The most enjoying sober person ever we get it man talk about some new shit
I wonder is Steve o, like anyone else, can change his voice on command to either higher or lower. I’d like to see him try.
I think its been proven that its nature and nurture. Genetics certainly play a role but so do environment upbringing and the amount/degree of daily stressers. A person with no genetic history of addiction is still at risk if they had a miserable childhood and or a miserable adulthood.
Errors unfixed from one gen tends to transcend the other by shame and influence.
