      I've been an alcoholic since 2008, until 2012. Alcohol is useless. You cannot sleep? You drink and you sleep, but you'll be tired. You don't like or you can't stand your life? Alcohol won't solve this.

So 30’s were way different than 20’s (for me) make sure that if your relationships change, let it be in a good way and if someone is no longer good for you, let them on their way. I know you didn’t ask but I hope it’s helpful. Have fun!

      Wait, soooo, was she just wasted in the ironic video, seeing a bunch of hallucinations of herself, and after her car died and she pulled off the road, she was immediately arrested for impaired driving and this AA or NA meeting is part of her sentence? And of course, it makes sense the “You outta know” Alanis is there too, she must have finally been identified as the person caught on camera blowing a dude infront of a packed theatre full of families watching the Lion King!!

    “I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit”
    I’ve been sober for six months now and this is a brilliant song. It describes exactly how for me drinking is a way to hide/run away from stress and trauma. I also love how she sees herself in everyone in the circle. Addicts and alcoholics may have different stories, but the core feelings are usually the same.

    I'm named after Alanis Morrisette. And i'm very proud of that. She's so brave to put herself on a plate and say this is who i am you can like me or you can hate me either's fine but i'm still me regardless.
    I'm now clean and sober.
    1 year and 4 months clean from Cocaine.
    4 months clean from self harm.
    3 months sober.
    2 months clean from purging.
    Very proud. It really is one day at a time.
    I use my addictions to escape the world. To escape reality.
    To feel happy i used coke.
    To feel release from the pressure of everything weighing me down i cut.
    To escape reality i drink.
    To feel control i throw up.
    But i'm learning that i can be happy without coke. That i can find ways of release that don't hurt me. There's ways i can get release without having to escape from the fact that that's one of my coping mechanisms. I can have ways of escapism that are productive and helpful. And i can build a life that i don't need to escape from. And that throwing up happens because i can't control it and i can have more control by not doing it. There's a lot i'm able to control and when i control my food and eating i lose control in so many aspects.
    I'm very excited about the life i'm building. One where addictions aren't something that control my life. I've had to draw the line at any use of these substances or methods because for me there isn't a line after that, i'll just keep doing it. I can't have one drink, i can either have no drinks or as many as possible until i'm unconscious.
    Thank you so much other Alanis for giving us this part of you.

    So caught up in helping others that you almost aren't even allowed to face your own demons or cry out for help so instead you turn to vices. That's the message I get from this video and good god it hits home. I imagine this is the four Alanises from the Ironic video, who at the time represented the fun, youthful, and daring sides of a girl trying to navigate the world, but have now morphed into the person she has become: the stressed out mother, the nostalgic woman wanting to cling to her past/youth (dressed as the driver from Ironic), and the dolled up celebrity who can't get a word in without the media and fans bombarding her, yet all we are allowed to see is the cleaned up woman too busy being everyone else's therapist.

      I want to amend one part of my comment. When I said the version of Alanis dressed as the driver from Ironic was her trying to cling to her youth I didn't mean in a vain or beauty oriented way. First off, Alanis hasn't fucking aged in almost 30 years. Secondly, I meant she's longing to be the person she used to be, the person trying to navigate the world which we only do when we feel like we have something to offer the world and the world has something to offer us in return. She no longer feels like she does. She feels like she's slowly losing that part of herself and she's struggling to come to terms with it, hence why that version of herself keeps looking back at someone dying and can't even bring herself to acknowledge it beyond an occasional glance. She feels done, like she and the world have nothing for each other anymore and that's not exactly the best feeling in the world or an easy thing to embrace. I have to say I disagree and can't imagine a world without Alanis's music and even her mere presence, but this is just how I'm interpreting her feelings through what I'm seeing in her video.

    this song is so current. the beat, the tempo, the chords, musically- this is so grounded in relevance. but the lyrics... a timeless issue, speaks to all ages- i've been addicted to at least *something* ever since i was a little girl.
    sex masquerading as love, love masquerading as validation, cigarettes masquerading as a breather, weed masquerading as clearing of the mind, food as a void filler, booze as a showcase of everything i could be but am not because of all these demons.

    To: ANYONE battling any addiction or knows SOMEONE who is, which with that now includes EVERYONE, Alanis deserves a Nobel Prize for this song. She not only shows the courage to speak from the heart, but has her finger directly on the pulse of how it feels to be gripped by this heinous affliction that destroys so much without prejudice. This song should be an anthem to recovery and she has won me over as a fan for life. Keep it real, Ms. Morissette and THANK YOU!!!

      There is a double meaning in the song lyrics made clearer by the visuals:
      “These are the reasons I ( medicate with xyz crutch)” is the personal story each support group member tells each other to identify into the grp. We see their backstory acted out around each of them.
      But then the meaning changes when she is interviewed
      She points to the PEOPLE and says “these are the reasons I don’t even think I could quit” ( the recovery support group members are the reasons now). Tellingly, the news crew isn’t interested in that part lol.
      The meaning of the lyrics have changed:
      “ Here we are: nothing could give respite like THEY ( the group members) do. “Cant function without it ( recovery).”
      Also though
      The priest actor portrays a “13th” step* attempt in the group ( adding unspoken sexual addiction shame to the long list) and the recipient portrays the discomfort and the internalized social pressure on targets to not set boundary limits directly.
      . (*There are only 12 steps.)
      There is also double meaning as parts of her life are portrayed in each character, of course, as many fans recognize. The empowerment from the recovery group itself is the underlying message, which is ultimately rejected by one of the members who leaves them. Not everyone is capable of sharing vulnerabilities or of identifying with others vulnerabilities. Not everyone makes it.

    These are the reasons I drink
    The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not
    These are the reasons I overdo it
    I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits
    Now, even though I've been busted
    I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep
    And nothing can give reprieve like they do
    Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do
    Here we are
    I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
    One more hit
    It feels so helpful in my need for respite
    And here are the reasons I eat
    Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated
    And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini
    To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry
    Nothing can give reprieve like they do
    Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do
    Here we are
    I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
    One more sip
    It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
    And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit
    And these are the reasons I can't even see straight
    And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
    And I am left wondering how I would I function without it
    Here we are
    I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
    One more rip
    I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit

      Nik Stamps... You may have heard it said that drugs and alcohol are not your problem they’re your solution. PLEASE don’t do like me and wait your entire life to address the source of the pain that makes you feel the need to escape. For me it’s been FEAR. Every poor decision I’ve made has been based in fear. And it all stemmed from what became stored in my subconscious from infancy. Some pretty deep stuff...proceed with caution. Learn all you can but be sure and take action to change your thinking I never would that’s why I stayed stuck. Good luck to you and yours.
