    Returning for the second time, the first time I listened was my first day of sobriety, your words provided some much needed stability amidst the frequent panic attacks and feelings of despair.

      A lot of ppl make the mistake of reaching X days and then beat themselves up about a slip up. You might slip up, and that's ok--try again.
      For me what helps is to focus on today. Today i clean, didn't that feel good? Remember that when you're triggered to use DoC, think "this too will pass" and use whatever is in your toolbox to get over the 90secs of craving. The craving fades over time, but each one is like 2min. You can do ANYTHING for 2 mins, right?
      Good luck to you. You're sober for a good reason, remember that reason. You can do this. 💙

      I've seen Rogan have guests on who worked for years on a book, and rogan didnt read a single page. And not only that, he immediately demands answers that come at the end of the book. I agree that you can tell Theo has put a good effort into trying to see what page Rainn is on right now in his career. Another comparison that comes to mind is tom segura having Quentin Tarantino on to speak about his new book. He didnt read a single page and barely even broached the subject of the book. He only had questions about his films. It would be like Theo having Rainn on and only talking about the office.

    • @mikejames7684
      @mikejames7684 Рік тому +3

      ​@@codirennke1109 I like Theo, he's entertaining, but I just can't get behind the idea that he's some profound interviewer. These episodes are 99% comedy in my opinion. For example, the John Mulaney episode was okay, but Theo didn't seem to know anything about him besides the fact that he was a former addict. At times it felt forced and awkward in my opinion.
      Also, claiming to have read something doesn't mean he actually did. In fact, I think the only specific question he even asked about the book was literally on page 1. Rainn called him out on it.

The only thing controversial I might be saying is that rogan is over rated as an interviewer. And a comedian. 😬 but that's off topic.

    The way Rainn describes his anxiety is exactly how I feel about mine. It is manageable but it’s a daily commitment to meditation, journalling, exercise, and staying in touch with loved ones that keeps me afloat.

Being funny but still struggling with things on his own but you would never know. We need to protect Theo at all cost

      1:28:34 did u catch theo saying he's a cradle ripoff after raine kinda throw his limb analogy under the table which I thought was actually really deep through this whole podcast felt like I was in a room with 2 close brothers and as u know if u had sorry for assuming but u will no brothers wrestle and I don't mean fight which they do but like in the movie Exodus gods and kings when Moses, Cristian Bell is told by Ramsey's,Joel Edgerton that Israel light means one who fights with god and Moses corrects him and says one who wrestle with god there's a difference end quote but it was that moment 1:28:34 was a lil uncomfortable but to see how rains resopnded with sometimes end qute shows if he did get the meaning of theos analogy he understood how much it meant to T and thats what's called overthinking please tell me I'm wrong..... Ps ik my spelling fucked and no punctuation but I'm from that Cormic McCarthy cloth of course he can spell and I have auto correct just to rebal

    You can tell Theo really learns a lot from his AA meetings and his internal work on self happiness. When he talks to Rainn about Rainn’a failure in his movie film and how Rainn always wanted more and what he had was never enough. The advice Theo gives him sounds like it came straight from an AA meeting about finding happiness and accepting yourself.

      @@chriswest7639 absolutely! Its worth trying it out sometime if you come across a problem you're having difficulty with. The other aspect though, is the fact that society doesnt really hold much in the way of moral values. For me, this meant that when i got clean and became a decent person i was seriously let down because i was under the impression that most people were as well adjusted as people who've worked a serious recovery. The truth is, thats not at all the case. Most people i encounter seem to have backwards morals and no desire to improve themselves. Its like a race to the bottom, and personally i strongly dislike it

    I love Rainn. The philosophy of boredom is one that I love talking about. Being a baby millennial, growing up without a phone, terrible dial-up, land-line phone, and pagers. I spent more time outside, drawing, reading, and running down the street to bang on my friends door. When I didn't, I usually just sat in my room playing with toys, or just being bored in general. But with the introduction of the internet readily at our finger tips....I have so much at my leisure to stave off boredom so when I am bored, it brings anxiety when it never did. Its sad. I've done so much to just...be bored. Sit there and just be. I wonder if my adhd kind of makes it harder to just sit and be bored with my mind, but I don't think so, maybe a little, but with social media and the dependency of it makes it hard to put the phone down. The Social Dilemma is my favorite documentary and interesting, highly recommend. What's even more sad, is it took me October 2023 to finally pick up a book again, when I haven't read in like 15+ years. I did it for fun. I feel for the younger generation not having a single moment of boredom, of silence, to just process the day and weigh their thoughts healthily. I empathize with both those who never had internet and then got it at the turn of the century, and then the ones younger who are 'ipad kids' and have brain rot. Being stuck in the middle gives me both perspectives and its interesting. Also the song Bored by Deftones is my favorite, so I use that as a device to get me hyped on just being bored. lol

      So true. I am 68 years old a little while longer 😆 🤣 😂 😹 I feel so much younger than my friends and my family members. Mentally I feel 20 years younger than my husband. My elder sister has dementia and my younger sister has betrayed me one too many times. During the worst of the Pandemic I lost 4 beloved elderly pets. Then too many friends passed over such that I stopped counting. I am a trained Marriage Family Therapist with a terminal degree. I would love to sit and chat with Theo, like many of us struggling to be better humans. I am really new to Theo but I am quickly becoming a big fan. Love this synergy between these 2 lovely humans. My favorite episode thus far. Thank you both for this deep sharing. Both voices are so soothing.
