alcohol kills more people than fentanyl, but we have a fentanyl epidemic.......like....
I've taken Heroin a number of times and it's only in higher doses that you sink into the sofa. In lighter "normal" doses it makes you very talkative and feel really good about life. Take the dosage higher and you will start nodding off.
You're also forgetting tobacco. My stepdad nearly died last year from multiple heart attacks linked to smoking, but yet both of my parents are still smoking despite everything I've told them about not being ready to lose my parents, despite the disgusting coughing fits where they're struggling to catch their breath...no matter what I say to them they still carry on paying to slowly kill themselves even though they know the risks involved. I've said to my mum "You dont like me using Amphetamines which I only do occasionally to give me the energy to get shit done because I often don't have much energy, but yet you're inhaling tons of different chemicals that you've never even heard of!"...they still refuse to quit because "I don't like the person I am when I don't smoke" 🤦
...sorry, I've ended up almost turning this into therapy. It was only an hour ago I had my mum coughing and struggling to breathe down the phone to me. I gave up smoking and feel soooo much healthier and don't ever want to go back to how it made me feel, but despite nearly dying they still refuse to quit. Tobacco is one of the most addictive and socially acceptable drugs on this planet.
nah dude you are right about the trauma bond. being dependent on another human is very rough and extreme.
No caffeine???
People are massively underrating benzos in terms of their potential to ruin lives. Not only can you die from the withdrawals like alcohol, benzos also destroy your short term memory, sometimes for the rest of your life. And even a couple years of frequent use them can cause irreversible damage to your prefrontal cortex. They also make you a lazy unmotivated asshole who doesn't give a fuck about other people. And they give you insomnia, anxiety and tremors after a while. They seriously give the worst withdrawals ever. Fuck that shit, I'd rather go through heroin or coke withdrawal any day
At 22, I got in a relationship with a woman that was an alcoholic that had BPD. First month was fabulous. Second month was great too, head over heels. Going on trips, making memories. Showing me more love than I had felt in years. 3rd month, the devaluation started. I came to her vulnerable, telling her that something she did wasn’t okay, trying to se a boundary, wanting comfort and an apology. (She had gotten drunk and said some off the wall hurtful stuff) So she turned it into an argument and me being the problem. . And then soon there after, more lovebombing. Telling me how she’s never loved anybody this much and how I mean the world, said she’d litterally kill me if I broke up with her. (Was joking apparently but, was a little unsettling). I took it as words of love. Then, I had something traumatic happen to me, I needed her, she distanced herself. 3 days after that traumatic incident I went through, another one happened, where she (5’ 2” female) was drunk and hit me ( 6’ 200lb muscular dude) HARD. (It was 3am and I took the bottle away). And this was in front of a whole room of people. (I stood there speechless, nobody did anything. They were her friends and just said “no don’t do that”) she stomped away, I WENT TO COMFORT HER. (Wtf was I thinking). And she punched me in the throat and I fell back into the shower….nobody was there for me, except her. I was embarrassed and didn’t tell my friends. Long story short, i stayed for another 10 grueling months. Trying to reach that high I once had with her. I should have been strong enough to leave before it got
Like that. I’m a handsome, driven, and smart guy. I’m an engineer as my profession. Make great money, ect. I STILL let this happen to me. Trauma bonding, is no joke at all. This shit is real. 1 8 months after ending it with her, I still have flashbacks to every scenario where I was gaslit and emotionally abused, screamed at ect. That trauma bond, broke me down and turned me into an unconfident, she’ll of a human. Started therapy while I was with her, because she said I needed it. (Oh boy, was she right, I was gonna). After a year of therapy and being around my friends, living life ON MY OWN. I finnaly have begun feeling like myself again. DO NOT, let this happen to you. Stand your ground, be confident in who you are as a person. And love yourself.
Hey man, you got it good don't worry, slowly but surely you will surpass this fully. Bad things get the best people. I'm also studying engineering, mechanical. Yours?
Hey man, just wanted to say, as a fellow man who has been through the same emotional and physical abuse, it does get easier. I never did therapy and fell into drugs and spiraled out of control for about 4 years - but I'm coming up on one year clean and sober next month and honestly, I rarely, if ever, think about it any more. Time heals all man. I would say after a few years I let go, and after a few more I actually forgave her for my own sanity. But I am still paranoid it might happen again with someone new and I'll fall back into the same pattern of letting someone trample all over me for the sake of "love" - anyway, just wanted to say stay strong. I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm just starting to search for a therapist now because I am an excellent procrastinator so good on you for being vulnerable and handling that shit like a man. Peace
@@LuisC7 mechanical engineer as well, with some electrical background. Good luck to you man!
@@masongoad1142 oh wow good! So you'd say it's a good way to follow? Any tips you can give me? And remember, you're not alone. People out there want to help you too!
@@Jack-ud3vz inspiring to hear that. I appreciate you sharing, and good on you for keeping on. It takes a lot of strength to pull yourself out of that. Proud of you forreal
Ive been watching you for years and just wanted you to know i admire you and your content. Youre an amazing person making a lot of progress with himself. Same goes for anyone else reading this. Youre amazing, and you're doing a great job. If no ones told you recently, im so proud of you. I love you and keep your head up. Things get easier
Thank you
The food names got me, and I stand with this message. Hope you last much longer than on my table 😊

You too mate
@John Titor explain
Man I’ve never heard anyone so eloquently explain what a trauma bond is. It is a hell of a drug, and I’m convinced at least half the population is strung out on it.
For me, it's cigarettes. I've done and been addicted to a dozen substances, but squares are the hardest thing I've ever tried to quit. Weed? Nothing. Alcohol? Was nothing to me. Opiates? Bad withdraws, but it usually only lasts 4 or 5 days. But cigarettes? Man... They'll kill you slowly, don't get you high, have absolutely no positive effects, yet for some reason I can't put them down. It reminds me of this one commercial I saw where a dude is literally being attacked by a shark, but his brain is just like "cigarette, cigarette, cigarette..." and that's pretty much how it is. You could have a shark hanging off your arm and you still would be thinking about those squares in your pocket.
What helped me quit was a got a refillable vape and put a low concentration nic salt in it (1-3%, the standard is 5%). I Hit that for a few weeks and eventually my cravings went down enough to where I could just put it down. I was also smoking about 4-6 cigarettes a day which was doable to quit. If youre doing more than that then I imagine it would be a lot harder, but if you resolve to smoking one less cigarette every few days over the course of a couple months then you can definitely do it
@Ryan Lucht I switched to vapes... and I'm much much more addicted to nic then ever before.
Why would you have cigarettes in your pocket and a shark hanging off your arm? Did you go in the ocean with your cigarettes in your pocket? Well no point in thinking about those anymore. Or is there people near you that just walk around with sharks
@@ryanlucht6625 I tried vaping. It's just not the same. I smoke just under a pack a day though usually, so probably anywhere from 14-18 cigs a day. I'm 30 now and I've been smoking that much for about 10 years straight, and started smoking when I was 16. It's the only thing I haven't been able to even slow down on, let alone quit altogether. My family also has a history of addiction issues so it's also probably genetic, as well as me suffering from things like depression and chronic pain (hence why I take certain opiates on and off). But I know people who can put literally anything into their body, as much as they want and as long as they want to use, and not go through withdraw when they stop. It honestly just depends on the person I guess. I envy people who can quit that easily lol. It's definitely a struggle, but I'm still trying.
@@tasteslikepennies2549 If you read my comment, I said it was a commercial. Look it up, it's on UA-cam.
I feel like trauma bonding is also a big reason gambling is so addictive
for sure! degenerate gambling can be compared to this
Didnt think about this, but as someone who was briefly addicted to gambling, it seems like the same thing
as someone who doesn't know anything about gambling addiction could u explain this?
@@sierra_frum_seattle gambling is comparative to trauma bonding, because when you're addicted to gambling, you become addicted to the sensation of winning AND losing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Its similar to an abusive relationship, since you're "willing" to look past the fact that you're losing a shit ton of money, just in hopes of winning big this time. It creates a mindset where you dont care that you're doing harm to yourself, knowingly or unknowingly, by staying in that relationship (with gambling). Imagine gambling is your partner, and sometimes they hit you and treat you like shit (like losing money), so when they treat you good and pay attention to you (winning), you feel SO good and you never want it to end, and the cycle continues. Pretty much exactly like a trauma bond/abusive relationship.
As a 6 year sober alcoholic, actually surprised it was only 4 on this list. I never got to the ruining my life stage but I could see it coming.
same, im 38 days sober for the first time in 7 years. kratom helped me personally
@@Boojyman
Make sure you know the risks that come along with Kratom. It’s good to be educated so you know what you might be getting yourself into. Kratom wasn’t good for me. I had to many bad side effects. Of course everybody is different but good to know the possibilities
Yeah I tiptoe back and forth often and could see the potential for life ruining, But I haven't gotten close enough in years to really scare me sober yet.
i have adhd and i’ve been addicted to WEED and nicotine for 4 years, so i refuse to ever drink a single drop of alcohol, knowing i will probably get severely addicted if i ever chose to try it
@@memeperor_ It's all in the brain.. you just need to find the power to overcome it. I was hooked on nicotine for 8 years but one day, it was messing with my acid reflux so bad that I had had enough and just quit cold turkey. I had tried to quit prior but couldn't.. but once I found something that really made me *want* to quit, like the reflux.. it was easy.
As someone that used a lot of drugs and never got addicted to none of them, i have to say you are absolutely right on the first place. I suffered domestic violence and still have ptsd and the trauma bound still strong even after a year of treatment
I think benzos should have been on the list, potentially even at #1. Benzos have the worst withdrawals, more dangerous than alcohol, and depending on how long you've been on them the withdrawals can last sometimes months.
True
They don't have any euphoric effects
Thanks for bringing all these into perspective Adam. Personally from my experience alcohol completely took over my life for a number of years starting from the age of 13. I completely depended of it to quell my anxiety and social anxiety and it made me feel normal compared to when I was sober. Alcohol is to be taken with serious precaution and it can become the most important thing in your life, even more important than family and friends. Be carful y’all and remember there are always better alternatives to your problems than substances. Find love y’all and people who care about you that’s what’s important in life.✌️✌️✌️
Trauma bond addiction is interesting and horrible. This is why you should stay away from relationships with persons who have borderline and narssisitic personality disorders. They WILL mess you up and you will regret ever letting them get close. Nothing they can offer is worth the damage they will do to your mind. And as Adam is telling us in the thumbnail, avoid at all cost is so very true. No contact is the only solution to have any possibility of healing.
Thank god i'm immune to all the types of relationship addictions.
god did i learn this the hard way. wish i knew then what i did now about personality disorders could of saved myself a lot of pain
People with BPD arent evil... such a cruel thing to say, these people should just be doomed to be alone because of something outside of their control? Why do you think they're abusive?
@@JazzerciseJustice Their mental ilness is just an explanation for their actions, not an excuse.
@@JazzerciseJustice No one said there are evil. And there exist therapy for them but most of them are not willing to do the work to change. It is just like you said you called it something outside there control. Only a borderline person would call it that. Any other would say they don't want to do the work needed to change. And whatever made them that way, doesn't change that they destroy healthy people with their extreme drama. And no one deserves to have a partner. First you work on yourself so you have something to offer. And borderline persons only seem to destroy.
There are a lot of women that psychologically abuse men in relationships, it's not just a one way street.
Thank you Adam, for #1. This is a reality, and people of the world need to know this.
holy cow adam i never knew what a trauma bond was and wow that is such a real thing, so many things make more sense to me now.
the most addictive is smartphones in cobination with social media, then smoking nicotine, then heroin & cocaine imo
Smartphones and social media are fucking addictive, most of us dont even stop a minute to think about it, about how we have spend the majority of the day in a cycle of continuous dumb distractions to not think about, anything. Even with other drugs, you are drinking? You are probably checking the phone, you are smoking? Heres another distraction because with overstimulation even weed becomes boring, everything becomes boring, it fucks your attention spans so you simply cant stop and listen that beautiful music savouring every note, you are no longer able to savour things with the attention required because you dont have that attention capacity anymore. you get to a point when you simply have to put down that fucking phone because social media is dumb and boring and your brain is suffering from the online dementia and exhaustion wanting only to stop and think, just a little bit, listen to a fucking song with attention like you used to
man i love dougs 😆 such a good explanation of trauma bonding though, it really is addictive. unfortunately so many of us don’t realize it until after the relationship is over. healing is hard but it gets easier in time, and as we learn the ‘red flags’ we can do our best to avoid repeating the relationship. sending all the love, Adam! 💚
It's amazing that you can become aware of it throughout the whole relationship. Like your gut is telling you something but you still try and hold onto it. It's so hard to let go, you become so addicted to those highs that you feel it's the only thing in your life worth living for. I gave up everything for it, my life just fell apart. Everyone tried to warn me about it but I always cut them off or was in denial about it.
Trauma bond is so real man , its crazy
You look so much healthier and happier now bro, proud of you for keeping it together and staying on your grind 💪💪🤍
Trauma bonds make you do things you never thought you would otherwise, especially if there's other substances involved, or if they're a gateway to those substances. Makes sense why it's number one, substances on their own can be bad, but add people that don't care about your well-being on top of that and it gets really confusing. I tend to isolate because I don't know who's gonna come along and do this to me, it seems like most people are nothing but trouble.
I'm surprised benzos weren't on this list, maybe it should have been your number 5.
Alcoholism runs bad in my family and ive always kept away from it until recently, (i drink only every few months), but hes exactly on the dot, i never understood how to explain why it made me happier while drinking, because it would help my overthinking, make me forget anxiety when socializing, and everything, so shout out for helping me understand more on alcohol, and why i should keep it limited! big W
Yeah humans need to once a month at most to reset brain I. A nap. If u ban it peolle go mad. It's a med not a drug. Weed is a drug and med to be used every day. Alcohol just hurts body so peolle can't abuse it safely
break the generational curse, you can do it
Thanks for kicking your knowledge as always! Your channel has really helped me out for years. I’m experiencing life without heroin for the first time in 10 years (which probably means 15) & it literally feels like relearning basic human behavior… powerful, fucked up stuff. And the withdrawal!!! THE WORST pain, physical & emotional. I feel like you’ve maybe had a similar experience? Anyway, lots of love & thanks man!
wow. sounds like trauma bond is a literal human manipulation hack. its like legit mind control.
My dad quit drinking cold turkey bc he realized that he wanted to be sober to witness our childhood but he quit knowing that he could have seizures from going cold turkey but he ended up being fine and he’s coming up on 7 years in a few days
I never really made the connection between abuse and drug addiction, but it's so spot on. I can imagine it being applied not only to romantic relationships, but also to parent-child relationships, and certain religious organizations or cults, or other abusive groups or people.
Herion is most addictive, makes u feel like ur free falling backwards through cotton wool
That doesn't sound pleasant at all.
You are absolutely right about the number one. By far the most difficult thing in my entire life to end. I felt physically I’ll at times and like I’ve lost my mind. I’ve taken many other substances throughout my life, some for very long periods of time. None of them were even close to being as difficult to give up.
Appreciate all your harm reduction tips. I made it my mission to personally abuse every drug there is and write a detailed description of effects, Heroin and Coke IV I was able to tell immediately that this was going to ruin my life. Tried them separate and mixed. I've been sober but it's very scary because that first IV rush from H or the speedball is still a daily thought in the back of my mind. It quickly got out of hand when speedballs started. The IV coke only lasts maybe 1-3 min max and you are craving more all day intense mental cravings/lethargy/depression after shot wears off. The thing with meth and whatnot is you don't have to be doing it constantly all day long or scared shitless you might run out and be sick as a dog
For me it was the first time I tried oxy. Licking the coating off the tablet and crushing the hcl salts between my fingers and racking up a line like I was getting ready to do coke or meth, but got something totally different instead. I genuinely hated coke and speed the first few times I had tried them, but with oxy there was no anxiety or body pain like coke and speed. Just being wrapped a tender and loving embrace.
I was in a trauma bond with some friends, now I never realized it until I watched this video, hell I never knew it existed. This lasted approximately 8 years, and I come out of it less then a year ago. I got in such a depressed state that I lost my job and didn't really care about anything, basically put everything on the side (I wasn't suicidal). I was unemployed for 6 months struggling to understand my situation, then I snapped out of it got myself a job and slowly recovering from the mental games. Through those 8 years I got myself in a 10k debt which I'm going to have to crawl out of in the next few years (well, that is the plan anyway). All in all I'm glad I watched this video, at least I know what the fuck happened. Thank you! :)
Man I had this 6 months relationship with a girl and it was so crazy, then she had severe problems herself with borderline or whatever and when she broke with me I felt horrible. At the beginning she was super happy and everything was cool but when the manic phase wore off she would feel severe depression and she would not talk to me for a couple of days properly, because she was at home sleeping to avoid feeling bad herself and then I started becoming anxious as fuck due to this situation but I was so in love that I couldn't see how harmful it was being to me.
Borderline i. e. being a crazy chick. Yeah, it's kinda hot at first.
fr the withdraws from fent is a living hell been clean off fent for a week now
rooting for u bro🙌🏽
Keep it up bro, if you can do one week, you can do two. If you do two, you can do three. If you slip up, it’s normal, pick yourself back up. Good luck to you mate
You seem different, the writing too. Like you've leveled up. Thank you for talking about trauma bonding!
On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.
im addicted to water. i cant even stop because ill die. any advice please!?!?
the sudden Epiphone that my feelings of hurt an pain for the last 17 months from my cheating ex whos a narcist and has ASPD is really my trauma bond to her being the hero and the villian, truly feeling like this stupid immature girl is the one i want to be with through everything. now it wasnt abusive she didnt yell or hit me or anything. she TRIED. but not enough. in the end, she was just a shitty partner and i dont believe it was ever malicious. I never would've given up on her...not ever. but it has taken so long just like my last relationship to see that its not good for me, no matter how good of a partner i was how hard i tried how open i was how deeply i loved. none of that mattered. i leanred alot. and i really loved that girl....its still hard. i was so very happy, but that 7% of the time she made me feel like shit and couldnt care to do anything about it, or even notice it. never picekd up on my emotional bids. couldnt communicate or open up. shut down when i tried to get something out of her ( with nothing but compassion and patience)
Love is one hell of a drug friends.
if you feel like theres something wrong. there probably is.
i will forver cherish my time with her as the most beautiful 8 month experience of my young life (23 rn)
but she fucked me up something fierce i cried every day for 8 months, and its still hard, i catch myself missing her still all too often,
we will be okay friends
Coke is actually one of the rare triple reuptake inhibitors, so, serotonin is also affected, that's why it's so much more addictive than ritalin
after hearing number 1, I have gained so much respect for you. you are a true genuine source of information. keep making good videos
a trauma bond is crazy shit, truly
where's nicotine? or tobacco
Grow up
@@robnorthrup753 someone's addicted
Been in a trauma bond for a year. Drained me for far more than i can imagine
I was addicted to shooting dope for 12 years hot clean and got into a trauma bond relationship with a narcissist and i will tell that was 1000 times harder to overcome and almost killed me!
Thank you, the one about trauma bonding is so important!
And it is definitely a real thing. We get addicted to our own bodies spikes of different chemicals, as dopamine and stress hormones etc. It's not strange at all, it as logical as getting addicted to any other substance.
Peace and blessings
damn i didnt expect #1. you're absolutely right.
You’re honestly right about the last one. I was in a relationship like that and what you said is very accurate, especially after the final separation it felt like withdrawing from the person, who was like a drug that was bad for me, but I really only realized it and was honest with myself about it after being separated for good
bro #1 is actually crazy true, my brother is at a clinic rn because he is completely delusional, he once loved a hooker he wished to marry, then wished to kill, then started loving her again, got around a bunch of bad people (gang members) who threatened me and my family, we had to move houses and multiple stuff because of it, im actually shocked how this #1 felt so personal and real to me (my brother became actually psychotic and is going under treatment rn).
Really awesome of you to go in depth on number 1 like that, much love 🙏❤️
Who else was waiting with bated breath to hear that Adam's #1 was kratom? I was thrown off when he didn't say it lol.
Quitting coke kinda sucked.
Quitting meth REALLY sucked.
Quitting my abusive relationship was completely soul-crushing and the only time I've ever had to be hospitalized for 'psychosis.'
My addiction to coke screwed with my health, social life and employability
My addiction to meth screwed with my health, social life and employability.
My addiction to my ex DECIMATED my health, reduced my social life to ZERO and left me as such a shell of a person I couldn't even leave my apartment never mind hold down a job.
wow honestly good on you for describing the trauma bond. people think its about over-sharing
Love you man! Been watching you for years and I have never been disappointed, keep doing you
Putting heroin and fentanyl in the same bucket its really ignorant.
I've been sober for almost 5 years now...and I was STUPID and quit cold turkey. I had a couple of seziures and I almost bit my tongue off with one of them. I woke up all the way across the room from where my bed was. My legs were bleeding at the shins,and I was all black & blue. I STILL have no clue to what happened? I DID then go into rehab and for me it was a success...If I HAD to go thru' this again...I WOULD NOT go cold turkey!!!!
You just blew my mind...
No 1 was what I needed to hear atm
The trauma bond happens with drugs too. You get to love the high and the low
I think any addiction especially ones that grab you from young probably have that level of trauma bonding to them. You're in an emotional relationship with the buzz you're chasing.
Lots of addicts actually are in love with the chaos and illusion. They don’t want to feel good and be clear headed. Something missing so they wanna over do it until they aren’t fully in reality. Once read a quote I forget, I’m gunna butcher it but it said something along the lines of all addiction comes down to the person wanting something not currently available. So the drugs make them believe they can skip what actually has to be done and just teleport to that world they want to create.
By the end it’s like they use drugs to create new problems so they don’t have to work on their real problems. It’s always self centred. That’s why they say quitting your addictions isn’t helping yourself, it’s helping others.
Abusive relationships definitely go both ways. The woman can be the abuser as well
Dude your smile makes happy, happy man, happy vibes. Love it, keep going. Coke is nice on partys, always coke on partys haha... Alkohol and coke is one package. Once you try he combination you will instantly love it and will never look back. Just keep a line ready for the next day and you are good to go. The comedown and the bad feeling go away much smoother. I never go alkoholic because the comedown the next day feels so destroying, ofcourse you can keep going and feel better but thats not the way to go.
the video quality/production upgrade is amazing
#1 definitely shocked me, not clickbait at all. Unfortunately I wound up in the same position and probably won't get out being that I have a child on the way 😮💨
If you truly are trauma bonded - get out. It doesn’t matter if there’s a child on the way. It will only get worse.
Awesome! I love that you included alcahol, as its the most widespread addiction
I agree with #1 more than all even though I have been addicted to everything you had mentioned in the video and still am to especially alcohol and cocaine luckily I did get away from the relationship I love your videos man get me through long bad nights. Hope someday I can get to a festival and have a good time like the good old days keep on doing what your doing bro 💪 I hope people watching these videos take these things seriously you don't want to be 29 living in the same place you have been your whole life with no real way out and half your friends dead.
im an alcoholic and a stoner i can quit weed to get a job but i cant seem to shake the drink..acid reflux is a big reason to quit alcohol tho
thanks fir another great video, still hope your getting through your shit and getting the help you need
Ahh, the Ritalin Coke part just explained so much. I did coke once and I just became very mellow. Now I know why.
As a 6 year sober cannabis, adderall, whatever addict, i can totally vouch for humans being number 1. People don’t always look at codependency as an addiction, and trauma bonds are even worse. Even as somebody who avoids unhealthy relationships, people can still be addictive because human connection still causes dopamine spikes.
Herd that me and my dad lived together my whole life we were so tight but we had issues too but when he passed away October 2022 it sucked bad still not over it at all
i sat here for months thinking i was the abusive one in my trauma bond. until you said they value and then devalue you, and then once you said you feel like they're the only one person that can pull you out of despair, it really clicked. i'm the only one that went through this intense pain when they left my life, i'm the only one still crying and wishing they'd come avenge me 3 months later.
thank you for waking me up.
wow, i found the end to be incredibly good and it kind of opened my eyes to stuff in my past
My uncle is getting to the end stages of alcoholism and it's really sad how bad it can fuck you up. He gets confused all the time, angry easily. Tells you stories hundreds of times, but it's like the first time for him every time. Doesn't remember important events or birthdays. It's sad to watch man
completely agree with number one being humans and the trauma bond
Please no cringe clickbait thumbnails I have always enjoyed this channel Please don't go down that road. You will lose subscribers who don't buy into the tiktok mindset.
I was in a trauma bond and didn’t even know until now that I’m seeing this video luckily I’m out of that now but still haunts me to this day
I was able to cold turkey whiskey and cigs after 30+ years of abusing them, I think because I was finally ready and tired of feeling shit from them . Losing a long term relationship took over 15 years, a lot of good weed and shrooms to get ok with it . Feels good to be mostly at peace .
shrooms always make me wanna quit alcohol but i never do when im not trippin
How are your lungs do you cough a lot still after quitting?
My dad was an alcoholic for around 15 years he realized it was ruining his life so he quit cold turkey and didn’t have to go to rehab and he’s been sober for 7 years coming up in may
No.1 was so unexpected, yet so logical.
Beautifully said. Makes so much sense. Here’s to breaking the cycle.
Putting alcohol before coke gave me an idea that your point of view of drugs is already distorted.. i was an avid fan and trusted you for several years. Thanks for all the education tho.
#1 should of been it's own video.
avoid people...just run!
Trauma bond ... Maybe a lighter version is the chasing dynamic between anxious and avoidant attachment type, which is a lot more common.
I used cr@ck for a few months, living in a place where everyone did. Glad to say that I quit cold turkey and never went back, I know many never do. Getting away from those people and that environment certainly helped.
I've had alcohol enough to feel it a few times, and luckily for me I just get kinda giggly on it and am more inclined to tell random nonsense jokes, but I already kinda do that frequently anyway so it basically just exaggerates it a little. Kinda boring, not really interesting enough to do it frequently. I've actively tried to get more drunk a few times but I've never really managed much with it.
wow you really did a mike drop on that last one mate, cheers and thank ya
If I had anxiety and If I had depression.. that actually sums it up pretty well. Drugs don’t cause addiction. If you are prone to addiction then you are getting your dopamine one way or another.. but still some are more dangerous than others
I've tried (in this order) Caffeine(coffee), ritalin, alcohol, tobacco, xtc, weed, speed, LSD, 2-CB, DMT, shrooms. The only things I got addicted to the most are weed and cafeïne. For weed, I've made myself the (scientifically informed) decision to only smoke 2-3 times during the waning crescend moon phase since this would be the time the weed will work the best (science shows you sleep upwards of 30% less well in terms of REM sleep during a full moon) and then during the new moon I enjoy microdosing a bit of shrooms before bed to get even more vivid dreams. This consumption pattern leads to the most vivid, wild dreams you could possibly imagine, while also keeping in mind the recovery time your brain needs in order to continue functioning to it's greatest extend. For caffeine, I got addicted at a very young age (as a toddler I used to like drinking the last bits out of people's mugs secretly), but I do try to drink less coffee during the larger moon stages as well since your brain will naturally be in a more erratic mood (science shows getting less REM sleep will lead to an impairment in decisionmaking). Everyone is different, and I'm sure other people will struggle with some of the other compounds I mentioned like smoking; I just don't get addicted to that for some reason, but I think sticking to schedules and routines can really really help against abuse, even when you do have an addiction.
man where was this video a few years ago before it was too late
right? Never would've thought meth was so fun😢
The use of alcohol has increased dramatically since the ban on pain killers!!
Thank you for speakin knowledge an trying to keep others safe lookin good brother ❤❤❤
For me it hash and tabacco its awful i need to quit pray for me and everyone who goes trough addiction
Weed should be on this list.
Just for the sheer numbers of people addicted.
It's shocking.
I know some friends who kicked the heroin with the Kratom powder! They swear by it! They said they had minimal to no withdrawals 🤯
coke was best worst thing i’ve ever done
Your number 1 choice wasn't what I thought at all but it was something that was interesting and really needed and helped me with prospective on my ends of life
I have to agree with number 1 my ex was verbally abusive and it caused a trauma bond and I still miss her over a year later it's caused so much in my life to go wrong and it's why I love amphetamines now but I am trying my hardest to stop I'm quitting smoking today aswell so I hope some joy can come back to my world
I was addicted to meth for 6 years I've been clean for 3 but I used to go days on end without sleeping the longest we did was 6 days
Another one a lot of people miss: food (or restricting/purging food in some way, or often some combination of multiple or all 3). Eating disorders affect 9-10% of the population, with BED (overeating disorders/food addiction) being the most common and anorexia/bulimia being the most deadly. Very common reason people are morbidly obese/underweight (though I should note: most people with EDs are normal weight or at least not at an extreme weight and they can be just as sick as people who are at an extreme weight). I've been struggling on and off with a restrictive ED for 6 years. Hardest addiction ever.
Did meth once mixing it in water. I was fucked up for a week. Never even going near it again. Just the thought of meth gives me chills
Just recently quit cigarettes and I can attest that the trauma bond I went through for 2 years was easily worse. I was so addicted to this girl that I was willing to give up anything for her she didn't like my friends so I ousted them, she rewarded me and the next day she punished me for some small thing I did.
But knowing that I was finally able to get over my trauma bond that I could get over any other substance and it wouldn't be as bad or destructive
Oddly enough I've had coke multiple times but I've never felt like wanting to buy it or have it particularly often, I've only ever had it if its been on offer but I've never found it actually does much to my mood only gives me a boost of energy
i think Benzos should have been #2. For me personally it is the most addictive drug but everyone I know who tried Opis and Benzos would always choose opioid over benzo addiction if they had to.
Bro needed to get out of the chest. But it's the truth, I have been in a toxic relationship last year so I can say for myself that it's the worst addiction, it's only destruction and you think that's gonna be worse of you get out of that.
