  • Hi friends! So today's video is a little different from my normal ones. I am definitely a little bit biased in this situation as I have had personal interactions with Chris that were less than positive. I truly am so sick of everything happening with him and I would love to know your opinions on it! I love you guys and I will see you in the next one!

      So he did work as a counselor / group coordinator at the inpatient rehab I went to a few years back, but as a health care professional, you’ll know more than I do about what is any credentials are required to get that position. I know the BHTs don’t need any type of degree, and I know the therapists that do one on one sessions and make the ‘treatment plans’ with us have full degrees and credentials. So I’m honestly not sure / don’t remember what his education was. It would be kind of messed up to charge our insurance companies the tens of thousands of dollars they did, to put us in groups led by people with no credentials, but it honestly would not be that surprising honestly. A lot of those places, as I’m sure you know, are for profit (almost exclusively) and you kind of have to just take what you can from the groups.

    Addiction runs in my family (father a recovering alcoholic, mother currently an alcoholic) and taking the non addictive anxiety meds is so hard. I dont want to take things that could possibly make me addicted, but you are right, they dont work as well. So I will never shame somebody for not wanting to deal with anxiety, because even with non addictive meds, its draining and crippling at times. Hearing Chris just absolutely shitting on people who take meds and relapse is so angering to me. Not taking meds doesnt make you any better than somebody who does. Relapse is hard and such a sensitive time. You have every right to be angry!

      I’m a recovering meth addict & alcoholic. I am prescribed Valium, 10mg a day for my anxiety. My anxiety is CRIPPLING. If I don’t have my Valium on hand if I need to leave the house or if I’m having a panic attack then I’m just totally unable to do ANYTHING. I stick to my dose, sometimes I only take 5mg a day if I’m feeling okay, sometimes I take half that even... sometimes I take the full 10. It depends on how high my anxiety levels are. I check in with my doctor regularly and make sure I’m being cautious with my meds. I’m still in recovery... it doesn’t mess with your clean time if it’s prescribed by a dr for legitimate reasons and you stick to how much is prescribed. Only you as an individual know if you’re being honest in your recovery like... I could be just saying all this about my Valium but behind closed doors I could be popping pills left right and centre. Who knows... I know and that’s enough. We should never put anyone on blast and undermine their recovery it’s gonna do more harm than good!!! No one’s ‘opinion’ should matter like the only one who knows what’s going on is the individual and nothing anyone especially not some knob on the internet says will change that... I hate people who shit on others in recovery cos they take necessary prescribed medications. Without my prescribed meds I would relapse - I know that. I take mood stabilisers for my bipolar and I NEED anti anxiety medication because my panic attacks are so bad if I don’t keep them under control I can’t function - and the way I do that INCLUDES taking medication. I see it a lot in the NA community - people shitting all over others who use subs etc to help get clean. Like bitch why are y’all mad?? If there was drug replacement therapy to help get off meth you bet I’d be on that. I’m quitting smoking rn and I’m using patches... I’m still calling myself a non-smoker but ooh whoops I guess I’m not really cos I’m still dependent on nicotine. Ugh. If it makes it easier and you’re honest with yourself in your recovery then there is absolutely no harm with using medication to help you in different areas of your life.

    The brain injury things is just bonkers.

Saying some one's brain doesn't function the same as other doesn't mean they cant function in society.
    And on the medication thing. Yes there are addictive medications and yes you should avoid them if you possibly can but there are going to be situations where it may be unavoidable. Unless you are this person's medical doctor you shouldn't be commenting on their medication.

      He wasn't this insane at first. I, sadly enough, was a person who actually enjoyed his videos at the beginning. It was decent stuff. Then he let his true colors shine. I unsubbed and don't even look at his channel anymore. He has an addict, and unfortunately found social media and drama as the next thing to be addicted to.

Pretty much when it wasn’t real people he was picking apart lol. I just looked at his channel for the first time in nearly a year and he is off his rocker now for sure.

    I actually work in a psychiatric facility. Our patients with TBI have completely different treatment plans as their counterparts with similar diagnoses (such as bipolar disorder). This is because treatments plans are NOT one size fits all, and this concept called trauma informed care is incredibly important. You cannot effectively treat someone without being fully aware of their TBI because their TBI often affects every aspect of their life.

    I’ve commented before after being in a 12 step program for 6 years. I’m only half way thru this video and I just can’t help but think that this is such an unhealthy way to navigate your sobriety. The biggest enemy to an alcoholic or addict is EGO and this guy is nothing but EGO so that translates to me that again, he’s not in a healthy, sober, productive 12 step program and he has major EGO issues which is not the way a person in true recovery and struggling to work the steps handles their sobriety and mental health.

    To be honest I was a supporter and a patreon of Chris’ for almost 6 months. However, after the threatening videos he made towards drama channels (where he called Dustin Rich Ashlee etc out) I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. The quality of his content plummeted and I unsubscribed and I started seeing why people dislike him. So sad because deep down I do believe he has good intentions, I’m afraid his ego and the “fame” of youtube took over.

      I have no horse in this race but I will say, he did work at the inpatient rehab I went to a few years back. But again, this doesn’t prove sobriety (currently, they did or said they did test their employees randomly I think). It also doesn’t prove credentials as I have no idea what they require for his position as a counselor / group coordinator. I do think he started out from a good / well meaning place. He was great at teaching us the curriculum the rehab was require to follow to be part of the network they’re in, which was informative. But it wasn’t always information he sourced.

At one point I was taking 25 pills a day and smoking heroin when I couldn’t get any. I feel zero need for that now. I don’t take my anxiety medication as directed - I don’t take it as much as I’m supposed to - bc of people who say taking benzodiazepines is drug abuse. I have so much anxiety about taking my anxiety medication that I find myself white knuckling through life paralyzed by fear.

    I have 12 years in recovery, and the idea of shaming someone for a relapse is the exact opposite of what the recovery/12-step community is about. And you’re right, doing so as a method of portraying yourself as “better than”, and profiting from that is so fkn gross - so thank you very much for calling him out on that. Same with the Med-shaming. And pretty much everything else you said. What he should be doing is acknowledging how relapse is often a very normal part of recovery/addiction and giving as many helpful examples as possible in ways to avoid it, while also giving kudos to anyone who is able to be honest about, and come back from, a relapse because it’s incredibly difficult to do, especially if the person has significant recovery time.

      He's mostly respected among the m'lady types.
      Very bootstraps, it fuck your context it's all your own deep seated character flaws.
      Soooo there are a lot of people who are unsympathetic to him checking in to rehab because he fanned the flames of the idea that you should be ashamed for needing rehab and "starting down that path" in the first place.

    Thanks for sharing that you’re sober. I am too, it’s been 2.5 years since I’ve been clean from opiates. Love your channel! 👊🏻

    The video ‘I need to apologize’ made me angry because he talked about spreading false information and I just thought and commented about how he spread false information about at least Gary from Bipolar Corner (Chris called Gary a pervert and a sex addict) in his book. And his response to that comment was ‘I’m sorry you believed him’🤦‍♀️. Gary disproved those claims in multiple videos such as the one on his second Gary UnFiltered (I would recommend watching that one), Chris had no evidence for his claims other than his own words. It makes me so angry.
