To all of those struggling, I pray for you and hope you can find your way to yourself again, this World can feel abusive, but there is always something you can hold on to, you are not alone.

I will start meditation 🧘‍♂️ to stop addiction

Marijuana saved my life. She was there for me when no one was.

porn can also be an addiction not just drugs.

(Banana man song) Do you see banana man?

To anyone out there struggling, there are many in your circle that are hopeful that you’ll recover. best of luck.

So only unhappy people become addicted

Sometimes it's the people around us that can be helpful.

God love u guys , whatever your addiction ❤️

WOW!!!! Thank you so much for this powerful video. I came accross this video searching for a good video to show to a group of Teens in transitional housing. God bless you and confort ypur hearts!!!!!

Bullshit. And why drugs ? Why not speak of those addicted to money and power ? There are addicts out there who do far, far more harm than drug addicts. Let's talk about our collective addiction to fossil fuels.

Y’all talk about narcotics and alcohol, which I never had problems with, and still, I’m being completely misunderstood when I talk about my own addiction: food, and more precisely, sugar. And I’m not alone, I’m sure. Many people just won’t see it because it’s also kind of “eating”. And eating is considered good. But it kills us even more than your average drugs. It leads to obesity which leads to an array of following diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes and whatnot. What you described in this video about childhood and the causes that lead to it, it all matches up my description and yet, my genes or habits are also part of the problem and it’s been this way since my early childhood which means I became addicted long before I even learned this word and knew that such things exist.

i thought emotional addiction

Good work

All of the cool kids did and do drugs, most of the people who do drugs nowadays seem to do fine

Poor copping skills! Negative self image! Brain chemistry! Genetics! Say no to drugs my friend say no💲😂✌️🙏

HOW?!!

I have some pretty severe ADHD and went through an extreme depressive episode not too long ago. People with ADHD (in very simplified terms) produce less dopamine/serotonin than the average person, and thus find it more difficult to finish tasks, feel satisfied, and even get through the day. I've been struggling with it for years- ever since I was in preschool. But, because ADHD is genetic, whenever I complained about my symptoms to my parents, they saw it as normal behavior and told me to suck it up. I had heard from drug awareness websites (that my school gave us, ironically) that there were drugs people used to "get smarter" and make work easier. I also knew that people abused over-the-counter meds like adderall, which is also used to treat people with ADHD. Admittedly.. I was tempted. I fantasized about how easy it would be if I took those drugs. How my life would change, how great my grades would be, how my parents would finally be proud of me... I almost didn't care about the addiction. But, I was also taught from a young age that drugs harm the body and the mind. I was level-headed enough to never ask anyone for drugs or go near them (thank goodness). In fact, to try to combat these thoughts, I started drinking coffee instead. I'm in a much better place how, and am understanding how to navigate my ADHD unmedicated, but I realized just how easy it is to get addicted to drugs. My heart aches for all the addicts out there but.. some part of me understands them too. You feel so helpless, so empty... Nothing helps. You have no one. Except for drugs.

Alcohol is also a drug

Not the drugs are bad. The addiction is the problem. I know what type of drugs are dangerous and which is the "never category" (like heroine, meth, cocain) being a drug user doesn't mean you are bad. Just use it like a human and not like a stuck addicted robot. Dont be stupid my fellas... (:

We send peace and love to all who have commented and to everyone who is struggling with, and whose loved ones have been affected by, addiction. Our son, Alex, died on his birthday, a few days after Christmas. While the holiday season can be difficult, it can also be a season of hope. You are not alone in your pain. Find positive connection online, in the gym or in other activities, by talking to a counselor, or, by sharing what you are going through with a current friend or immediate or extended family member. Perspective on what you are experiencing and Connection are the keys. Don't beat yourself up. Let that go and take some positive steps. We send you hugs, and joy.

As a 17 year old whos been smoking weed for 4 months almost everyday i wanted to say thank you for helping me think more clearly. My friends have lately been telling me that im smoking too often and that i should stop but i always shut them off because i thought its not that serious. I smoke weed because i just like the euphoria, not to necessary escape my problems. Or so i thought. Through this video i realised how fucked up my life actually is and started crying, i checked every box you said about the reasons as to why i might be addicted and its actually true. I always say i feel disconnected from everyone when im high and i love that feeling. I guess thats the pause i crave from the endless stress i have going on, my coping. Thank you

They already have subconsciously.

I wish I'd seen this 3 years ago

Act now? Professionals? They cost lots and lots of money that most people don't have. Even if you can afford it, there are not nearly enough practitioners to help everybody so you may have to wait months or years to finally get to see one. And many areas don't have a professional within a hundred mile radius.

Sorry for Alex, thanks for being so brave and helping others in Alex’s memory ❤❤

❤❤❤

The true image of every addicts is showed here ,big support to"" how addiction happens""" ,God bless you as because you doing a godly work by spreading awareness of addiction ,👏👏

Amazingly smooth animations, but the subtitles think addiction is 3 separate words

I've read comments from so many whiners who don't use cannabis call using cannabis an addiction. Such from those who don't bother trying to understand the difference between an addiction and an indulgence. But I do believe that if they study hard, say their prayers and eat their vitamins, they can one day learn the definitions of these two words.

People who are just growing up but don't carry responsibility end up doing addiction or spoiled or damaged , it's not always parent fault. Children should also cope with parents and know there boundaries. Why are you always creating a video blaming parents? Show both children and parent fault in video from next time. Just being grown up doesn't mean your matured. Sometimes even childrens don't understand and sometimes parents also dont understand, it both side fault , you can just keep blaming each other , rather than blaming why don't you find solution and sort it out make a good living. Or dont't even get invovled in those sort of stuffs. Physconautical. People who don't care about will also not care about ownself. So is that parent parent or whose problem is it ? It is fucking own problem , why the fuck on earth cannot you solve it or you can ask for advice then sort out , see if it works out but misguiding wint help at all. 😤 And you never even share at all , so that other would care , some people have selfish intent too , even try to use you and hurt your sentiments , bully you , offence you. Your destroying and ruining your own life by forcung yourself in thise sort of activities rather than searching and seeking for good associate or company.

John 7: 37-38 KJV

i don't think people deserve (or have the "right" to be happy); happiness resides in choices we make

I was prescribed a cocktail of narcotic drugs as a teenager from adderall to vyvance, usually 3 or more at the same time. If youre reading this, please don't do that to your kid.

im in this. Weed. Got no one to talk to, just myself. I just dont care it is what it is, i feel nothing, its hard for me to feel joy or happy. All i do is work, go to school or just sit at my desk. For hours at a time, just sitting at my desk overthinking my life and tearing up every time im thinking about what my life should have been or what it can be if i just could vent my feelings to someone. My parents you may think, no. They dont listen or take it seriously. They think its a thing that will pass on its own but they dont know i am struggling for over 6 months now and its only going downhill. They know about my cannabis use. I have no support but myself, and weed. The addiction helps me with feeling more joy. I know thats how i got addicted, but im in it now. I just cant do it, i cant talk. It feels like no one cares, or they dont show like they do at least. Now i got the gift that i kinda love myself, in the way that im looking after my comfort and health when it comes to hurting myself or even suicide. Im not suicidal. Its just an endless loop with no escape. the tunnel keeps going and im looking for the light

This realy hit me, especially the end because i have the same name

I don't know what dimension you live in, but I was taught from a young age that drugs are a dead end.

Ооо, это так пошло и глупо. Кто вообще поверит в это «You are not alone» или «You deserve to be truly happy». Мы же все прекрасно понимаем, что это ложь.

There's always a druggie in high school and university who just messes your school performance

for me it's music and video games

I got addicted to games because my family fought a lot so I distracted myself from the fights because of that, I got video-game addicted

This is such a misrepresentation of a lot of addictions. It's not just coping. The substance is ACTIVELY the issue. Another major cause is lack of self awareness. This is why so many people people relapse even when things are going great in life. One day everything is going super duper good. The next day, you just suddenly relapse.
