    Thank you for these videos Amanda. I was 7 years sober before relapsing and going on a 4.5 year run. Alcohol and cocaine are my drugs of choice. I am currently 35 days sober and between AA, therapy and these videos, I have even better sobriety than I did before I relapsed. I also have my own channel, Dissapointing Your Demons, where I'm telling my story of my life long love affair with alcohol and drugs. Thanks for making these videos. They help immensely.

    Amber is absolutely a calming sense of possibility and encouragement to the fallen.
    She is so right, many many people recover and you don’t always know who they are. Some of the most admirable people, I’ve met so many successful people that are smashing life…sober

      Most parents that I have spoken to describe their children as loving sweet creative talented and the same with my son . I believe many are very sensitive and chose a road of addiction to console something inside of them. When they become sober they shine and become what the world needs because they are so beautiful

    My son told me the other day he would rather take his life than go through detox. I asked him what if after detox you get to the other side and it made him upset as he said that’s what everyone thinks and it’s not the way it works .
    Ironically I missed the live chat because I was with him . Thank you for all you do for all of us going through this

The two ofthen go hand in hand with trying to stay functional enough to pay rent, or finish moving, or any other difficult thing i have to do.

YOU! yes YOU ! are are worthy of happiness and love .

    I was sober for 8 years… husband than started going to al-anon because I was realizing our marriage was over. This made me go out. We’re now divorced and I go back and forth with alcohol. I have a lot of anxiety in general and know alcohol is not the answer. Kids are out of town right now was my excuse last night. I hate the cycle of feeling relief only to hate myself.

      I'm not the drinker, it's my son. So so heartbreaking. I'm doing better since listening to put the shovel down. I always used to try and convince him to quit drinking and did everything for him. I have learned to stop cleaning his room and doing his laundry and just let it all play out (whatever happens) he got out of detox about 4 weeks ago and has relapsed. I've also learned instead of lecturing him about it to except that it will probably happen at least 4 more times. He's doing exactly what you said they would do. ( Oh it's not gonna be like it was, I can control it now) thank God for your insight and podcast put the shovel down. So I'm not freaking out.

    I have a adult son in rehab (2weeks) drugs and alcohol. He says he is determined to stay away from drugs but hasn’t mentioned alcohol. Do you think sober living after rehab is a good idea. He is in another state far away from home and his children. he is divorced . I’m sure he is homesick. Would it be a bad idea to let him go visit children for few days and then go back to sober living ?

    Hi Amber👋 you wanted ,, triggers / craving, cause for relapses,, my partner would tell me ,,,,,,”””IT NEEDS ME “””,,, I think this is a woman’s thing maybe ,, as her corrupted , delusional reason for drinking had developed into a maternal / protective & religious/faith combination. This I think reduced her guilt and shame . It was like something out of science fiction,, she’d found the the holy grail on a super market shelf between some beer bottles .She needed to be bathed in its light, in return she would protect and nurture it faithfully . Spiritually for alcohol ,, getting closer ,to neat ,, spirits.

    Would the mind set you are talking about in this video be applicable to eating addiction? 😳

    • @tinaperez7393
      @tinaperez7393 Рік тому +2

      I imagine any addiction. This channel is geared specifically toward alcoholism but Amber has said many times that the concepts, tools, and strategies taught here apply to all addictions.

    • @tinaperez7393
      @tinaperez7393 Рік тому +2

      One difference is that people with an eating disorder not only need to still use the thing they have addictive behavior towards - the "substance" - daily, but multiple times a day (and in a healthy / normal way) versus substance addictions like alcohol where the goal is to not use the substance anymore.
      I'm guessing one key would be to determine what eating healthy / normally would be (for basic meals, hunger, nutrition), and what and when and why food is being used addictively and figure out the things that contribute to wanting to use food that way / what the reasons are and what to do instead.
      You probably know all that, but yeah, because there are some differences, it's probably helpful to find some good food addiction / eating disorder resources on the web and UA-cam.
      But this channel definitely has plenty of info that can apply and is useful too. It's a great resource on alcoholism recovery but also addictions in general.

    Maybe I was lucky or happened to do it right, it’s been over 9 months and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal after go’ogling and reading Steffon Barkload, not even within the first 30 days after I quit and told no one, did not need AA meetings or meds either.
