IKR😅
Incredible. Russell is amazing!
I’ve always admired him because I watched his self-help videos for addiction. He’s in the news today for raping two women. I am now disappointed. Yes, people can change, but to get better. You have to admit the fault that you’ve done in your life -,he did not admit his.
Gosh does the dude breathe, he speaks so fast
❤️💯👌
Guy gets more inspirational and authentic every time I see him next
If this man can get off drugs then so can you
Russell Brand Knows exactly what he’s saying 👍 addiction is a very Bad illness, l know what I’m talking about! I am suffering from this illness and fighting against it All my life!! Thank you Russell for getting directly to the Point, well done 👍
"I know what i am talking about!"
Russell Brand is someone that I admire.
Heroine addiction is a different devil to get over. Any opioid addiction is. It entails both physical and mental health assistance.
I love his book my wife has never been a drinker and has never used drugs. My self I started drinking and using pills smoking weed at 13 on to nitrous oxide and huffing everything that messed me up by the age of 15. By the time I was 20 years old I started using meth and was addicted to violence I got clean at 25 on my own and met my wife soon after I have done everything books, therapy etc. His book helped me learn about my self and I keep learning about my self my wife loves his book because she has a technology addiction. Great book for any one even those who live with an addict and are trying to understand and/or help them.
First 4 steps are almost exactly like 4 noble truths in Buddhism
Murad Bagirov :)
He does such a good job of speaking so quickly and distilling the concepts down into soundbytes, well done.
Wise and insightful man...
Shame that it is often only pain that teaches us what we need to learn... 😒
Anyone else catch the frauduan slip at the end? “I’m not happy unless I feel like I’m worth something…err, doing something worthwhile for other people”. I have a friend who’s very similar to Russel personality wise, in that he seems to have almost an obsession with saving everyone else. He’s been a huge support in my life, but after losing my husband a few years ago, I couldn’t handle talking to him because he wouldn’t just let me grieve and be sad. He started to grow embittered and angry with me because I came to realize that his confidence and high self-esteem were based on other people, and he needed to be there for me so that he felt better about himself. What’s hurtful is that I’ve to realize that over the past 25 years he’s also been more or less treating me as if I was an inferior human being who he took pity on. For a long time I was so grateful. But now thinking back I remember that he really kind of contributed to me feeling like a rejected outcast. Whenever I would be feeling mentally well, and behave more like someone who had healthy self-esteem, I remember he would get mad or make fun of me. Not all the time, grant it, we were true friends, there’s not denying that. I love him dearly. I just, I sometimes worry he might be a true narcissist, and that he only likes me when I play a role as an insecure underdog who needs his help, or that will listen to him talk about how amazing his life is. But deep down, I don’t think he’s really happy. We’re not as close because I am more guarded as to protect myself. So anyways, when Russel said he only feels happy when he feels like he’s worth something, it reminded me so much of my friend, who happens to be a big fan of Russel, lol. I feel bad saying this about my friend, cause I still think he’s a great person, Russel too, and if they’re helping people, that’s more than I can say for more self. Both he and my friend are 2 of the funniest people I’ve ever encountered. Could be I’m just wrong too.
I love that shirt he’s wearing, I gotta have one.
Thank you, Russell for putting me on this path of recovery. It truly is better on the other side without being religious.
Totally agree with u . 😊
Maximum respect for Russell Brand, it’s so hard
Thanks Russell for sharing your truth.......You are an inspiration.
Love you Russell
The men listening to RB at the start seem detached and clueless. Shame they are the ones in power with making decisions to help or not.
What I don't get is he smoked crack and heroin but doesn't come across like he did. I'm so confused. He's so in tune with reality
Vickram Chuni not all people who have taken those drugs are hopeless idiots. You’ve seen too many anti drugs propaganda. Yes they’re bad, but if you don’t go too far ie injecting was my no no, you can be ok. Quit before you’re 30 or 10 years, whichever comes first. That’s what I did and I’ve always been quite functional. Yes, I’ve dealt with a lot of death of acquaintances. Russell quit in his twenties, over 20 years ago. Ex addicts tend to work on fitness and health to get clean, then to make up for the bad health, then cos it feels good.
@@Dude0000 ur bang on there
He’s brutally honest. Even he knows he could lash out still. Refreshing others feel this way too although I think we are all this way. We just need to realize things will get rough because thing Ls will be good. You cannot have one and not the other.
Shoutout to russell
So, true my friend...so true. Keep putting it out there Russell we need more people like u.
Russell Brandt is just magnetic and has such intelligence.
I dont feel happy and connected
Amen Bother
Well done Mr Brand, as a die hard Junkie myself loving to hear your well and I will be taking your advice to live, love, learn, grow and as always be good...loving you always Miss Delaney xxx
I got his recovery book because I usually like his input. I was discouraged to learn that he’s a 12 step enthusiast. I’ve done AA before and it didn’t work for me. He’s a great person though and I admire his eagerness to help.
Make sure you find whatever it is that works for you :) I’ve accepted 12 steps doesn’t work for me, doesn’t work for a lot of people! But other stuff will, it’s just a case of finding it.
I’m a heroin addict and trying to really kick it for good. I’ve gotten it down to the point where I’m now working full-time in a manager role and my life is vaguely stable (except money is still an issue, still get behind on bills and stuff cos of using) but I’m hoping to continue improving and soon will be at the stage where I stop completely.
Good luck to you xx
fucking brilliant in your face shit.... and so true....
He went bat shit crazy on the 12 steps , thats what he did.
Which is an addiction with itself
I dont feel any value in my life unless i produce something that others can enjoy.
The dude right in the beginning looks so pompous
getting bored get addicted and now try to recover from it and now you not bored unless you recover fast then try again ...
Sir, you've come a long Long way! And now you're really helping other as well. Good on you!!!
I only feel when I feel I’m being worth while to other people’s
Im glad.i watch this
I need to sort my shit out !
He's a real embarrassment to people in recovery
Great man
The great Tupac Shakur? So thugs are our role models....lovely....
Like RB now...he's grown I suppose
Spiritual malady -- listeners: "WUUUUHH!!?"
Can ANYONE answer this question? Why has Chicago Fire tv series been suggesting that Fentanyl be given to first responders' patients? I'm a fan of the show. I feel like I ABSOLUTELY have to say that. My questions keeps getting taken down by other websites, such as Quora and Reddit. Is it really this taboo to as a question about NBCUniversal or Comcast? Are there questions that citizens are not permitted to ask? I'm looking all over the internet with not even a single article written about the topic. I wonder why is that? I'm positive I'm not the only viewer to notice it. What is the connecting between Fentanyl and the Chicago Fire tv series???
2pac lyrics .... you wanna know who's my role model it's in a brown bottle lol. Good song of the pac life album.
Good move.
Whacky Brand was relatively.... sober in this video! :)
I know the news can't really promote drug usage..but it's a serious issue going on in the world... so regardless I think you should promote it as a warning for under aged viewers... rather then try to avoid it
At the end of the day, this exercise teaches us that, in many cases, looking trippy in public isn’t as bad as we believe. Sure, we might get some looks and giggles, but these don’t hurt, now do they? The Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope used to sleep in a barrel on the streets, walking around in ragged clothes, ‘pleasured’ himself in public, and tripped balls with people who walked past him. He fucked what people thought of him. Therefore, no one was able to hurt him.
"Encumbered by the burden of abstinence"
actually you dont need pain for opioids to feel good. they just feel sooooo good.
Chick in the white looks like she did a line right before filming this 😂
The comment that everyone is some sort of addict is an insult to my own addiction. Lol. That is minimizing the entire outlook on what it means to be an addict. Yes you can be addicted to anything and everyone can be an addict. But to be an addict means to continue to use a substance or perform a behavior even in the presence of a vast amount of negative consequences. Having someone compare let’s say a coffee addiction to alcoholism or taking to many Ibuprofen to drug addiction is ridiculous. Unless you are spending your entire paycheck on coffee or Ibuprofen I would not put you in the addict category. We need to focus the help on those that truly need it and putting everyone under this umbrella category of addiction makes people with real problems seem less important.
Only difference is substance, he's referring to principle in the brain.
Wild to see this and then his brand of dabs in a smoke shop.
Very articulate man
For how long.3 days?
I just simply love him. Have forever now

Same here David 😂😂😂😂😅
Only issue with Brand is that he repackaged the 12 steps of AA and resold it for profit. That is throwing AA under the bus and betraying the very thing that freed him- its an expression of extreme egoism, which does not bode well.
I’ve been thinking this too. I love what he says and how he thinks. But I’ve been asking myself how I feel about him using the 12 steps for profit. And how does this relate to the tradition of “ personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and film.” I think he’s helping many people but I he’s just retelling what Bill W brought to fruition.
I wonder whether his book and all his TV interviews, and the exposure he has give the 12 step programmes, are all a giant Step 12 for him. It is good for people to know about the 12 step programmes and that recovery is possible. But yes, as per Melissa below, he has not maintained personal anonymity, and he has profited financially from the programmes. He should have donated the profits from Recovery to charitable organisations.
I'm addicted to learning about addiction therapy thank you Russell.
Amen brother
Love u Russel keep at it
I love him so much
"I'm only happy when I feel being worthwhile for other people"
I think he is addicted to attention and likes to think he's some spiritual hobo edge lord
@melly mel sharing your experiences is not helping anyone but yourself. Especially if your a celebrity.
@melly mel this man has millions, maybe he can use those to make much more of an impact and "help" than trying to capitalize off of vulnerable naive people.
@melly mel it's all a bunch of bollocks. This man is a fraud, and extremely pretentious, self-motivated and sporadic. I sense a very toxic violent vibration around him, he appears unstable and hopelessly untrustworthy. I dont honestly know why women are defending him- hes the worst towards women.
Pip Mordo yet you’re here watching his videos... someone’s miserable
Most the point..Look past his looks
I watched this two days ago. I went to my family with my Fetynol and drug problems in the middle of watching this. I am only 2 days sober. I'll never ask for a Blue again, without remembering this pain and what it took, what I had inside me and doubted, the whole time. This video is a curse...it is a timid idea...it is a thought a "program" that if you can pull even a couple of good things from this program, maybe not even the whole 12, you can fu***ng quit drugs. No, I am not using MAT treatment. Cold turkey...legs won't stop moving and doing a jig for hours on end, bloody, fearful New Mexico-bred withdrawals. ...okay, with a grandma to feed me and not treat me any differently and an aunt who gives a shit enough to accept me. And a cousin that hopefully thinks of me simply as "her cousin"
This is the kindest thing I have wrote in years. Be kind, people. There's a wealth of common sense and peace it's really just right..f*****ng there. Just right in your very own mirror. Jesus "what had I become" (t. reznor.)
