As a clinician I have constantly challenged the narrative that addiction is a disease. It is not a disease - it’s the symptom.
Disease =dis ease. Disease=have compassion like you would for an illness.
Recovery messages are rooted in deep reflection and seeking truth. Rather than challenging them, perhaps accept them and share your perspective as an added insight.
no it's not a disease like auto-immune disease or something but it is a dis-ease and it is more mental and emotional and the hardest thing I've ever tried to overcome and even after being completely clean multiple times and twice for 2 & 3.5 yrs I still relapsed and had every intention of staying that way but somehow ended up relapsing and can't seem to shake it off for good because like Teal says ...I can't find the root cause for my addiction!!
@@indigogalstarseed7544I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling. For most, relapsing sets off a second bomb on top of the using: massive shame and if in a group or program, being "othered." That's also triggering for anyone struggling with addiction. If you aren't already, I suggest seeking trauma- focused therapy like EMDR or Somatic Experiencing. And to start digging for early core wounds, deep Shadow Work. It took me a few heard of solid work to get down to things I blocked out from childhood. But it's worth it! And so are you. Keep at it, you have people rooting for you🤍🙏
The result of dis-ease…
Irrespective of the substance, discovering the cause and effect of WHY… has helped significantly in unpacking, unlearning and breaking through each addiction.
I hope all who experience this find purpose in their pain and your uniqueness in understanding 🫶🙏🫶
I can attest to this by experience, when you pop out of the addiction, 1 moment is enough and that's when life truly begins.
Beautifully explained!
I agree & it will be 9 years for me on 11/23/23 from that exact moment I was done! 💜
I had a sleeping pill addiction. I watched my supply dwindle. Spent a solid week of next to no sleep. I remember that first night I slept through until morning. I knew I’d never touch them again
and never forget, it is cycles as well, it is not linear, you will relapse into coping mechanisms over and over again, and the moments of relief will stretch with every single time until from a hourly struggle it becomes a daily, weekly, monthly and then once a year relapse into thought patterns and coping mechanisms... but while living with the addiction for the rest of your life, until we decide to acknowledge this life long process of becoming better than we were the day before, it will be painful, it stops being as painful when we decide that this is actually crucial to growth, the opposite of being stagnant, and you will be able to serve others with the mess you were in becoming your message ❤️

Life existing walking laying down commas seeing smelling thinking it all hurts all the time with and with out so what so what
@@KJSKKNPwow. Wtf
The energy that comes out in addiction recovery is all the life force energy that was suppressed by the addiction. I know it's painful but there is pleasure in it even though it's scary. And I don't think you have to understand the pin or intellectualize the pain. By accepting it, it gets integrated and in time you will know what it's about.
The accepting of the pain is the hardest part. What do you do with it once you accept it? How can I prevent the pain from overwhelming me?
@@mominator69 I can't help you with that because I've never had that problem
@@mominator69why op is claiming to know then not know?! Confusing. I think then accept the overwhelm? Stay present. Know it will pass also. Just keep frickin at it and know you can do it, even when you don’t believe you can, you can
@@mannutdutd I'm autistic and experience pain in a completely different way than most people. I don't find emotions overwhelming because to me it's just physical sensations and I can control them with mental energy if I need to. I can be totally calm and cold under pressure. I can let my emotions out later when I'm alone and it's not as overwhelming. Or I can just cry or be angry in front of people whether they're uncomfortable or not. Thats not how most people experience acceptance.
@@jnl3564 that’s potentially helping with what you said you couldn’t help with… can you expand? How do you use mean to energy? How do you bring back up the emotion later?
For trauma without a drug or alcohol addiction subset this is also true.. Finding that broken piece at your core and ripping it out is extremely painful and difficult. Sheer will to go on must be at the forefront. Heal that part of yourself and you can heal it all.
Opiate and Xanax addiction almost killed me. God saved me. I promise it works. If you struggling, pray. What could it hurt? I've found a peace through prayer to my heavenly father and I don't understand how it works but I promise it does. Better feeling than drugs ever gave me. Thanks Teal for your videos 💫
Comments like these always break my heart because why does God answer everyone elses prayers except for mine 💔 been praying for healing or just some help since I was 9 and I've just gotten worse. Pray for me, since God apparently answers your prayers, let him know I'll take some of that help, too, whenever he feels like bothering with me 💔💔💔
@@kayleematthews1658Hello Kaylee.. God listens, he sees you and cares deeply for you. I’m certain he has answered your prayers in more ways than you even realize. I’ll pray to him (for you) and ask him for a clear manifestation of his healing power in your life. I pray that he answers you in such a way that you are able to see and feel his answers to your prayers. Don’t give up on him. He’ll come through as he always does❤
@@kayleematthews1658God hears you. His path might be different from the one you would like to walk. He hugs you tight and wipes your tears and says: " my beautiful child trust that everything works for your own good, one day you will understand the why of all this". Carry on praying and asking to be made His wish . Then rest, trust and let go in His hands.
@@kayleematthews1658
@Angelight505 I'm sorry you are having a rough time I do understand how you feel. Once I started having gratitude and counting my blessings and looking at my life in a deeper way by realizing that the bad things that were happening to me was because God wanted me to move out of those places not to be happy with those negative people and places ...he wanted me to work to get out. I wrote down on paper one day all the things I wanted for my life. I wrote down how I'd feel if my life actually was happy and what that would look like. 2 weeks later I met my now husband who helped me get off drugs. Some people call it a manifestation letter. So my advice is to continue to pray , have gratitude, and write to the universe what you want in your life. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU because I love you ...we are connected...we all are and all that matters is love. I hope it helps .
@@kayleematthews1658I'll pray for you, stay strong and keep your faith
May you all feel stronger every day!! 💙
God Bless You. Thank you.😊
@@errollharper2061 Thank you too ! May the Lords light shine eternal on you ! 💐
How did you get off the benzos I take subutex and a benzo 😢??
@@kluv420 Hello. I've never had problem with or partaken in such substances. 🙂 Have good day! 🌈
Regression and hypnotherapy pulled me out the other side and when I saw what the "thing" was doing 'for me' it's true intention and was able to negotiate a healthy alternative to the program I was running that no longer worked... Let's just call it my second life. The dope-man can hide in your pantry and fridge, at the mall, in your trauma-familiar surroundings, and even self loathing... but once you realize why he showed up... a whole new world 🌎
I never knew you went threw this Teal. Your so strong for getting threw that
Gosh I love her, such an intelligent well spoken woman
315 days sober off meth and everything else. I'm working a 12 Step Program and I love it and I'm really enjoying life for the first real time ever in my 37yrs here. If I can do it I know you can too, no matter how far down the scale you have gone
Good job! You are doing great!
Who did you seek out to get help starting
@@jodiehabchi4890 just look up AA meetings in your area and go to one, introduce yourself when the secretary asks if there are any newcomers as "hi, I'm "so and so" and I'm an alcoholic, addict, or both. I personally prefer AA vs. NA in my area(Sonoma county Ca) even though I was more of an addict in my last 7yrs but you'll find what you like if you give it a shot. Btw...it's not for people who want it, or need it, it's for people who do it. I'm totally down to catch a Zoom meeting with you sometime or give you my personal contact info if you want to here more of my experience and if you think it would help you feel more comfortable trying out this great recovery thing
@@cynthiaw1763 thanks ! 😊
Massive congratulations 👏👏👏 This is amazing to read, friend. Keep climbing that mountain with confidence and determination! Woohoo may life bless you always 😇🎉
oh Teal. this is heartbreaking but beautiful. you've changed my life & the lives of so many. I hope you know how damn important you are. thank you.
@@gingersnap7202 got a link? Cant find it. Dont believe it.
The suffering of the addicted. The suffering of those who love them. You have helped many. Strength and peace to you Ms. Swan.
It’s all about the choices you make once you’re on the other side of it! This is so true!!
What she means is when you get to the root of the addiction your still tempted by the addiction for ever? Yes like the pull towards addiction isn’t as strong but there always the temptation I have this with smoking. Is this right? Thanks
Love Teal. She just chatting with her comfy clothes and mic on ❤
I would listen to this girl all day all night
Yes.. grief feels like this too... its all initiations ❤
We can do it.
Embrace the pain and it will build you into a beast. I told myself my life starts today (15 years ago) instead of giving up. No excuses, just lets get going. After the first 5years I built what I needed. Today I’d gladly go through it again to be where I am now.
Metacognition is the answer to everything.
Thank God we never lost you Teal.🌹💕🌹💕..your amazing
Thank you for saying this. That this is going to end.
Teal points out the most important thing is it’s not the drug, it’s the wound underneath that’s making you take the drug. Often forgotten by many.
this is making me cry. 18 years sober here and your description is perfect
Long term recovery. Not only gave me a life. Gave me the gift of helping others have a life worth living.
I love how Teal never raises her voice. Even when she uses an expletive, she whispers. It has a reassuring effect, and you listen to her.
So brave to share this.
She's so right. I'm 31. I spent my entire twenties as an addict. I'm a year and a half sober now and it's the most relieving feeling ever. There's nothing harder than facing the truth and starting the journey to better yourself but my god does it make you stronger. Anyone pushing for a better life just keep going
This is so perfect!! I want to hear more about this. I think I can do it, become sober, if I had a person helping me w words like hers.
Stop drinking alcohol...voila, you are sober. That's how it works.
Praying for your healing ❤
@@worldofameiso5491wow so intelligent
Shes absolutely mezmerizing
Teal is the wisest person i‘ve ever heard with my own two ears
Work through the 85%. It’s worth it
A walk on my farm with this woman and her telling me everything about herself. The perfect date.
Thank you Teal for talking about this.
It’s also about support. Having people care enough to just.. be there with you
Matt, thank you sooo much for all the videos you've been posting for us!!!!!!!!!
It feels like we're getting downloaded with all love & transformative vibes from Angel Camp 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
💐💐💐💐💜💗🌸 so grateful, thank you
I can’t imagine what it’s like coming off opioids in 2023 - the stuff circulating anymore is garbage and detox is exponentially worse than drugs out years ago. My heart goes out to anyone struggling - you can do it but it’s wise to suck it up and get yourself to a detox facility who can safely monitor you. ❤
You are so brave to speak & share this ....ty Teal ❤🎉❤
100% true. I'm 11 years sober and it took about 5-7 years to actually change who I was. It's not about the drug. Sobriety is about see what ur life can be sober and chosing that over drugs. If u get sober n ur life sucks, it that much more difficult to stay clean. I was homeless n addicted to opioid pills. Now I have a beautiful home in a private community, a good savings account, my health n I love my life. And one thing I learned, that money isn't real nor will it make u happy. I have my life back, and there's nothing money can't buy me to replace that. And I always thought if I got sober and save money I'd be happy. And here I am sober with money and not a damn thing do I desire to buy, it's almost like a curse that led to a lesson learned
so true. thank you. made the same experience. I know now that I can face everything.
Thank you for this..much love
Thank you, Teal. I really needed to hear that right now.
I’m there now. Miserable. Loneliness. Sad
Same. I think my wound is the isolation/loneliness…I’ve tried everything to connect with ppl but when you are a certain age ppl literally just don’t give af anymore..and THEY don’t see a problem with it because they all have their family and solid friends…but some of us just weren’t dealt those same cards..it suks! My addiction is the only thing that gives me a tiny amount of happiness…it’s miserable but without it even more miserable 🤷🏻♀️
♥️🙏🏻.
such a beautiful human
Oh god i feel this in every cell in my body.
And i know what wounds are underneath. 😢
i just relapsed with amphetamine the day before yesterday, and that after having been clean from drugs for almost half a year (while only drinking alkohol sometimes) i was just so angry and sad that i needed something to help me feel better, and im really doing great, according to staying clean, i just dont feel good, and i used to be strong in staying happy kind a all the time, even when i was sad. i didnt knew that you knew was being addicted feels like, i also just want my body sometimes to just break, although i in reality just want to just be able to thrive, i just dont seem to be able to
Try changing your perspective on things. While its hard, there are things that can make you feel better, like backing out of social media, finding a better diet, exercising, etc. all these things can tremendously help you, but you got to push through your feelings, its all in your hands. You got this!
but smiling does produce happycells, so one can find a way to follow those patterns, and be strong in following happiness, whatever the situation with autentic happiness whatever the mood
@@HEXCD4D04
Problem is, it's instant gratification from daily stress
YAAS IM BACK 🙌 EVEN FALLEN ANGELS NEED LOVE ❤️ TOO!
I would even say that it’s not the wound, but rather, the “payoff” you are getting from the addiction. The ego must be feeding on the addiction in some manner, if we can starve what’s feeding the ego, you can end the addictive cycle
I miss my best friend , Zee ....lost her last year to heroin. Still hard to believe...
Its stunning how she thinks saying something very basic from Gabor Mate’s phenomenal addiction speech is something new to us. Seriously. She seems to just be a summarizer of other speeches.
Self control gets you sober but self awareness keeps you sober.
HOW RU DOING THAT, you always pic me up, wherever I stand...
Watch this helped me give up smoking pot thank you very much
Teal for me, it's absoulety about a unmanaged mind and the utter maddness caused by it ; which then had me rolling around in lifes Muck. Me taking drugs was just a small sliver of what was / is actually happened/ happening to me.
I do a lot of this specific work with my clients. Addiction isn't about the drug, and it's NOT a disease. It's a symptom of a much older dis-ease. If we tackle that, then we can actually get the addiction out by the root. I'm 7 years clean tomorrow from heroin, so I can say with real certainty, you absolutely CAN get out, and almost everybody who has *actually* gotten out, knows the way. (If you're still thinking about using all the time, you're not out)
Addiction is classified as a disease (by health care professionals) because it changes the brains structure. The brain stops producing neurotransmitters such as endorphins naturally. When stopped, withdrawals occur (which can kill in some cases). Its a very crippling experience. It's primary target is the prefrontal cortex, which can be responsible for certain impulsive behaviors. Also, addiction can be hereditary. Some are more susceptible to drug use than others, and a lot of it depends on circumstance and enviroment. The best way to beat addiction (statistically) is to ween down. Opioids in particular have a 90% relapse rate when quitting cold turkey. Not trying to say its completely impossible, but the most effective way to get off drugs is to ween off. We do this with medications, and even some tobacco related treatments. MAT programs (for opioids) are the most effective treatment to date, but replacement therepy is often times, more challenging to get off of. I believe more research needs to go into ibogaine. Talk therepy is great, and it should be incorporated into a treatment plan. However, there is more happening on a cellular level that needs addressing. With opioids, it can take up to 9 months for the brain to fully recover. That's almost a year. Some say that with methamphetamine, it's 2 years. I think we need to reevaluate treatment plans. Talk therepy is and should be a key part. But its more than just willpower. Things are things happening on a cellular level, and more research needs to go into neurotransmitter restabalization, nutrient loss during withdrawals that contribute to it, weening drugs that aren't enabling or long acting (a temporary replacement) ect. More needs to be done chemically to make these replace rare percentages decrease.
Best therapist goated
You are so strong talking about it ❤❤
Please!! A talk with Dr. Gabor Maté and Teal Swan 🎉
Thank you. I needed this!
Thanks. Speaking on how to get through hell
I feel this way right now I feel tormented. I have not used in 1 year 5 months. My wounded soul weeps 😢
That's why I trust her because she's been through it
Thank you Teal❤❤❤
Eloquently put, thank you.
😢 I have this on repeat...Thanks nice video 😢🙏👍❤💐
Thank you Teal.
That’s currently how I feel and it’s like I just want it all to end but it doesn’t
I love how dysfunction is spelt with Father's Y n not the egotistical I as in dis-ease.. therefore leaving me with the intellectual appreciate for both meanings
I have done this. My life's mission is to meet one other person who has done this and is healthy. I have yet to meet that person
I needed to hear this
It's not the drug in and of itself that we get addicted to but rather the experience and the effects of what that drug provides for you that becomes the addiction.
I thought that I couldn’t be in my own skin. I felt like I was too much for myself and everyone around me. my drug would lesser that. But then I started to lose myself and sanity itself so I decided to quit. And it turned out that I have no clue how I functioned all the time while being high, and now I can prioritize my hobbies over the constant need to stay high
Love u Teal..right as always❤
Yes.
True
Teal Swan. Impressive.
Real experience and, more importantly, Real insight.
Even more fantastic; this also applies to those
"Lightly" addicted or just being continually Unwise(myself).That one glass of wine every
single night; that box of chocolates...
Selah.
@gingersnap7202 ??? Is your comment in the right place?
Edit: I see now. You are in disagreement with my comment! OK. WHY WOULD I CARE?
I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN YOUR VIEW.
IT IS NOT SPECIFIC. SO WHY NOT PLACE IT IN THE GENERAL AREA. Frightened?...
Brave AF is right!
Amazing explanation
I’ve been through WAY too much to try to begin to figure out how my addictions started..
I felt that with my addiction to masturbation and corn. I then realized that i was dealing with 2 problems at once. So i stopped watching, then all i have to deal with was masturbation. I didn't control myself so much cuz that's where i would fail, but i will try to do it once a day. Even then, i already started to hate the act because i wanted to change my self-image. All of the sudden, one fine day, i never felt the urge to do it again. It's has been going well for 2 weeks.
Thank you! 😊
I love what you do
❤❤
Thanx
YOU can do it 6 years off tobacco - 60 plus a Day , 15 years off the booze and DON'T miss either , you can be a QUITTER for the right reason ! pro tip - do it for YOU , the one in the mirror brushing your teeth .
Thank you
Smart. I did what everyone, even my psychologist told me not to do, isolate and live off in the woods with the animals. Animals cant hide what they are.
I know what it feels like and on the other side there’s more of the same. It’s not constant but it recurs.
Amazing!!🧠
“It’s the dysfunction… underneath the addictions-it is NOT about the drug…” 🎯 26yrs free of alcohol, thanks to AA and rooms full of drunks loving me until I could love myself. It was hard af and only by the grace of a power greater than me, after finally surrendering to it, that I became teachable. Later seeing how small i’d gotten, shutdown. Seems most of us are overly sensitives in need of better tools. For living heavy upper-level-course lives.🐝💪🐝✨❤️🌎
Narcissists have serious addictions
Please consider educating us on the concept of "patience."
I got out of a strange abusive home and now they are breaking in my home repeatedly
Former substance addict here , I was on ampethamines for over 15 years, I’m at a place now I don’t even think about taking drugs
You remind me of someone that is not from here and is beautiful ❤
💯 how very true
Sending strength to all of those of you who are struggling with addiction right now 🤍
Great stuff ..Awesome woman;-)
I love you
I'm just so glad y'all know me
Where can we find the full talk about it? 🙏
On her channel 😊
@@dawnypie1 titled? :)
which talk is it from?
I totally get that it's not about the drug it's about the pain i am trying to cover/deal with
Opiate addiction is being willpower and awareness, not saying it is impossible but dam.i have so much admiration for those who have walked before me
