Stopped listening when you said “gender is a social construct”.

Thanks for the but to be honest too much hand movement really distracted me from the message

Yes. The answer is yes

I was a heroin addict from 1990 on. I remember my first bag of fentanyl. My dealer gave me a bag of white powder and I thought he made a mistake and gave me cocaine. When I did it my whole body had pins and needles. I loved it. Shortly after that I stopped using. You know how from early elementary school until adulthood you pretty much have your great friends and then people that you know. I am one of 11 people. They are all dead. I am still here. I don't use everyday. When I do I sniff it. That doesn't make it any better but I will never use a needle ever again. Again I'm not minimizing it. I'm just telling you what is. I don't need it but I do it every once in awhile. I also know when you do it once in a while your chances of overdosing are much higher. That is why I go very slow and do very little. The last time I did it was 15 days ago. This is the longest I've gone in a long time and I think I'm going to continue because I don't want to be a statistic. All my friends are gone and I have a daughter so I don't want her to have a father that died of an overdose. God bless sick and suffering drug addicts. God bless the families that have lost people. God have mercy on the souls of the people that have passed on. This is a whole new animal. It's very difficult to get off. I believe a lot of the difficulty to get off comes with the cut. The propofol the xyloxine and the fact that fentanyl is one of the strongest opiates on the planet. It is torture. When I had a habit it took a long time to feel normal when I stopped. It made heroin look like a cakewalk. Now that I don't ever have it like I said I do it once in awhile and that's ending now

Yep , dealers know that floods of humans will always gush in to get more drug even tho most die from it. Scads of people would rather die than deal with the shyst sandwich served to them by their wonderful political elected officers.

I have this... i have to go to therapy for it. Lol i also think of the movie with jim carrey " the mask"

Coming off fentanyl is the same as withdrawal from any other opioid. It's all awful.

It's not that fentanyl causes an as you say an "intense euphoric high that makes other's seem basic", it doesn't. Fentanyl and it's analogues are crap compared to the euphoria of morphine/Heroin, oxycodone and other opioids. It's not that euphoric to be honest, it's very sedative, a lot more potent than other opioids and generally has replaced heroin/diamorphine on the black market. So user's not only have no choice to use other weaker and safer opioids because they're not as available but also because they hae a short half-life and because of tolerance too they can't. If user's had the choice between pharmaceutical grade heroin/diamorphine or fentanyl, the vast majority would choose the heroin because it's a far more euphoric warm high and lasts longer. Relegalise, regulate, tax and educate!

Thank you for this information. A great deal of is new. Thank you to everyone. In the comments. I learned a great deal.

I think they just accidently mix it up/mix it in there. A drug lab is not the most organized facility.

I thank you for creating this great piece of advice related to shame. I do have a question about step 3. What are the steps to achieve self-compassion? It is a good that you say to practice this but how does one go about doing that?

You didn't have to add Cheech and Chong 😂 I'm also 29 addicted for 16 years. I know all about it. I'm going rehab soon. My mental health is ruined. Whatever you said is true. My life is ruined because of addiction personality and mental health. I smoke 15 joints a day

only reason i'm not living at home anymore is that my parents both died. i still struggle with this issue and will turn 34 this coming weekend. gonna get black out drunk and eat cheesecake all alone and try to forget about how useless i am in this world.

I had it in the hospital and it did nothing for me. It didn’t take away the pain and it didn’t get me high.

Aim a day and half in Thinking of going back on them😂

In my opinion , when we switch or me specifically, it doesn't feel like anything. It's just one moment we acting like on person and the next like a different person. Sometimes we don't even realize when we switch. Sometime I even forget I have this disorder because I just switch so smoothly.

Because once addicts know the shit is killing people they flock to the dealers house cause they know they gonna get fucked up

Hey

You can’t speak during a shame attack it is like everything shuts down completely. This is very informative and exactly what I have on a daily basis and I have an ocd cycle about shame which makes it worse

Everyone is different, but can confirm no more severe PTSD or crippling anxiety. Also was an atheist all of my life before it so there’s that 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah… I don’t think you’ve ever tried it

The ease of the addiction?

This is me

please stop

.. 🎉😊😮 . . M .. . ..hajj jungle kj Y😊😊😢g K C Ej😊😅

3 months sober

Clearly America has a moral crisis in its quest for highs.

It's too bad I don't feel I can set a quit date this year. :( We'll see what happens 2025 I guess.

RESTLESS LEGS 🫣

I think anyone caught dealing that garbage should be charged with attempted murder My former fiancee somehow got some crack that had been laced with fentanyl. ONE use took her life

Appreciate the video but this nice delivery just doesn't work when talking about fentanyl. Don't sugar coat it. You'll be addicted, physically dependent, considered a junkie and probably behind a Wendy's somewhere. One hot bag and it's game over.

i was just watching south park 😭🙏🙏

I have ADHD

Dopamine Detox: Fact or Fiction? Short answer: There's no concrete scientific evidence to support the concept of a "dopamine detox". Here's a breakdown of why: Misunderstanding of dopamine: Dopamine is a neurotransmitter essential for various brain functions, not a toxin to be eliminated. It's continuously produced by the brain, regardless of activities. Lack of scientific research: No rigorous studies have been conducted to prove the effectiveness of dopamine detox in improving mental health or well-being. Potential for harm: Abruptly cutting off pleasurable activities can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and even withdrawal symptoms. What might be beneficial, however, is a temporary reduction in stimulating activities. This can help you: Identify unhealthy patterns: By taking a break from constant stimulation, you might recognize how much time you spend on certain activities. Improve focus and attention: Reducing distractions can enhance your ability to concentrate on tasks. Prioritize other activities: You might discover new hobbies or spend more quality time with loved ones. Remember: It's essential to approach any lifestyle change with caution and moderation. If you're struggling with addiction or mental health issues, seeking professional help is crucial.

Gets them addicted when its mixed with other stuff - the start of my horror story Sober only by the Grace of God ✝️

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. I'll take a heroin high over a fetty one any day n it is cheaper n can be made that is why u can't find heroin in a lot of places anymore. His logic makes no sense. U would lose all the coke n meth addicts immediately to overdoses n that isn't the high they want so no one would come bk n as far as the opiate users go they coming bk regardless n tolerance happens anyway but the withdrawals have the same symptoms for either. If u haven't been through or lived in it, don't speak on it!!

I think this video just changed my life.

What would you suggest instead of a treatment facility.

Thank you for educatiing me and others about how our brains work. I agree with the treatment topic and appreciate you for the work you do. I wish I could talk to you one on one.

People are crazy for even deciding to try it. Hopefully we see the user rates slow down due to the awareness out there.

For me it is very have depression and also do dialisys in hospital. And have hard to walk

Also a synthetic version of a drug Is a lot cheaper... Every microgram has a price. If you can add weight and strength to the product to make it spread more, you get more profits..

“Addiction is the loss of choice” One of the most counterproductive things to an addict’s recovery that they can do is to blame external reasons for their addiction Recovery begins with using the right language. You didn’t lose choice, you gave it up

Fentanyl has a very short life, which means you have to take more and more to keep high. This means high profits. Also, Fentanyl withdrawal (day 2) always made me go into Dry Heaving. That will make you seek relief cause you think you will die. Especially if you are older!
