That line Joey said about "There's some nights about how I didn't even want to do it, or need to do it some nights but still did it" is the most true line about addiction ever spoken.
Alex Adams that line can be applied to anything even sex. I’ve always said that I’m addicted to everything that’s why I can’t stay addicted to just one thing. Money, pride, and sex are my top three which makes it difficult to stay addicted to coke, weed, alcohol etc.
moneyhafimek everyone’s addicted to those tho. Those are just the basic addictions lmao real addicts are the ones that branch out & get tied up by the drugs, gambling & other shit
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with OCD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
Any addict living in recovery has my respect. I know that a random person's respect doesn't mean much, but just wanted to put that out there. You deserve all the support possible!
Did coke 2 months straight and the comedown was real hell for me. I really started understanding what "Coke is a hella of drug" meant. 2 weeks of cold and warm sweats, insomnia, cravings, depression, anxiety, fear and tears. Worst experience in my whole life. Today is my third week of sobriety. Never even try that devils powder.
I wish I could be brother with my 🤪 ass stories lol bruh I wanna just be free to tell these stories as well!! Ima start a Channel & see what happens when i post
I can tell about years and years of chaos and destruction if you pay me 10% of what this man is making and it will be more real, raw , and uncut then this PG 13 shit
Kevin Weed please do some more research on xan addiction and going cold turkey. You can literally DIE by going cold turkey from Xanax. You need to ween off of it in order to stop safely and there are some serious withdrawal symptoms
@@Stlucifertv he means being addicted to benzos. Not just taking a little bit to sleep. Benzos withdrawal sucks & it's similar to opioid withdrawal & you can even die from it.
I've been clean off coke for almost 2 years now. No rehab, no relapses, no cravings and I did it all by myself. I had no choice but to quit. To get my life back together again.
yeah dude if you do blow like that in serious amounts youll absolutely feel like that. if I did a g or split a half g on the weekends sometimes id feel like a degenerate.but just htink about how much more everyone else is doing lmao
DJEmonTV well I do over a gram a day up to 3 grams .. I only do it at night and get the cravings at night . My body never aches but i always get a adrenaline rush at 8-9 cause it's about that time
"You're used to fucking up, so fucking up isn't an unusual feeling" never a truer word spoken about cocaine addiction, first couple of times u fuck up trying to quit when u end up back on it you feel remorseful, when u have fucked up multiple times it becomes the norm so you no longer feel guilty about it
I’m 29 and it ruined my life. I don’t wish that addiction on anyone. When you feel great all the time, it’s a hard, rough road when you snap back into reality after 7-8 days of no sleep and four 8 balls later. And you think you’re smooth and people don’t know. They know. When you’re disappearing for 5 minutes at a time every 30 minutes, you’re not exactly being sneaky. I hope anyone struggling can find their method of leaving it behind.
@@Gorilla11Savagethe high doesnt last long, so typically people will do a few lines a night. Paired with it already being highly addictive, repeated times, it becomes a habit.
The best way to quit cocaine is to stop drinking alcohol period I used to do coke every weekend then it became an everyday habit once I stopped drinking alcohol I stopped doing coke and so far I’ve been 11 months clean from coke I still don’t drink alcohol I’m afraid that if I get drunk my first instinct is to call my dealer (alcohol is the gateway drug and it makes you do dumb decisions like I did)😔
That was the reason I had my first relapse.....thought I could have a few beers. The problem is we're not addicted to whatever substance, we're addicted to the serotonin, dopamine etc our brains release when we do our drug of choice. Drinking keeps addiction alive. That's also why the "marijuana maintenance" program doesn't work
I've been clean for 12 years but I had tried for 3 years before that and it wasn't until I quit drinking that it actually stuck. The booze and blow just went hand in hand.
There is great wisdom in this and many will not understand it! Drugs, Alcohol, Porn, Eating too much, Gossiping.. All escapes from something. When you are spiritually sound, have a clear conscience, None of these things will be a problem. We are creatures of habit and get ourselves into bad habits, but when you create good habits. Then your life will change! Too many people now live off their feelings. "Feelings - good nor bad, you just have to live with them" Just make a decision and go with it.. Don't live off your feelings, listen to the inner voice and it will lead you in the right direction.. Peace and good will to all!
I literally woke up one day and looked around my decrepit bachelor pad feeling like absolute garbage after 2 hours of sleep/not sleep and said that was it. I'm done. 6 years addicted. 10 years sober. I'm so glad I made that decision.
Damn, the line where joe rogan said “Wanna know why you keep fucking up? Because you are used to fucking up And it comforts you. “ that shit hit different
The worst thing about cocaine addiction is when you loose a bag and you spend 5 hours going through the same pocket and you think It will magically apear. 😂
I remember being in day 2 of a bender had one Gram left in a baggie. Was lying in bed smoking cigs drinking beer and doing lines.. anyway i lose the bag. I spend two hours turning the room upside down, I then place my hands on my hips as a "well that's that then" and the bag had been stuck to my back the whole time where I'd been sweating out the binge. Never been so relieved or embarrassed with myself at the same time.
Exactly. The way I hid my heroin below my mattress before sleeping just smirking and thinking as soon as I open my eyes I'm gonna take it. Fucking heaven
You know, listening to Joey talk about how he beat his cocaine addiction is really fascinating from a behavioral analysis perspective. He kind of accidentally stumbled upon a principle called behavioral extinction. Basically, you remove yourself from a novel environment (he went to bed before 8pm) which is typically associated with the addiction and simultaneously create distractions to fill in the gaps. It's a textbook case of how to beat addiction. When I say textbook, I mean textbook. They teach this stuff in college level BA classes.
I was battling booger sugar addiction and when Joe said all this right here at 6:42 it really hit home for me. I remember fully submitting to the life I was living. I had found a new comfortableness in my sinful decision making. I had accepted that that’s who I was destined to be. Little did I know that I would overcome that hurdle and adjust for the better to seek greater beginnings. To all the men and woman battling addiction out there, it’s important to keep that lil bit of hope that’s caged up in your brain. Remain positive and act on the energy that gives you light, don’t let your inner demons control your mind.
Back in 1978 my friend Joseph started doing cocaine and weed when he was 25. And in 1981 he quit when he was 28. I would see him around town tweaking. He never told us about it till 1982. After he got outta rehab. He was also an alcoholic and he started drinking when he was 20. He quit when he quit coke and weed. because he was doing so much cocaine and weed that he knew he could overdose. He's 69 and I'm 72. God bless you Joseph
Trust me I was hooked for 10 years and lost ten years off my life. I'm clean for over a year feels good and now live my life to the fall. Getting help was the best thing I ever done
Sobriety is the best. I'm two years with no drugs or alcohol. I eat vegetables and fruit, meat and dairy, nothing processed, and I feel happy and great.
I’m currently battling addiction here’s to hoping I beat it this time. I got to the very bottom a few times I can’t afford to go there again I have to win this time I’m determined, god willing!
@@jamesspencer925 Says the little shit who clearly has never experienced an actual addiction. Speaking of growing balls, I bet yours have barely dropped you pathetic cretin.
If ever I feel bad about my coke use or I get too jittery and anxious and think I’m gonna die on coke, I come watch Joey Diaz videos. Actually helps a lot. Hearing some of his stories makes me feel like a choir boy, and I’ve done a lot of coke. Good stuff.
My friend just got sober, I showed him Joey and he loves that someone can make him feel like they understand, Joey knows what it's like to suffer from drugs
Did he fail a drug test??? People used to think I did it because of certain behaviors I had. I’ve never done it. Joe talks about other drugs he’s done, he talks about jerking off, why would he lie about it?
@Paul, Why would he lie about it? Honestly, Cocaine is another type of perception people can have over you if everyone found out you did it. If he were to come out and say he's tried it, that will draw a certain type of attention to him not to mention he's denied it plenty of times so admitting it now would be putting out another fire he wouldn't want to. The perception of him doing coke and lying about it comes from the way he describes certain things about coke in passing. Things only coke heads would know or have experienced. If he says he hasn't done it, i'll believe him but I don't put nothing past anyone nor will I be surprised if he ever comes out and says hes tried it once or 100 times.
What made me stop doing coke was after months of constant use, one night I blew a fat booger which turnt out to be rotten flesh, I now have a perforated septum and even though you can’t tell from looking at me? I have pretty much one big nostril on the inside. That night I did my last bit of coke and ever since then I’ve been clean but the inside of my nose is forever damaged and I feel really bad about it at times. If anybody is going thru a cocaine addiction please stop asap… it’s not worth the damage or the money you waste for it. I pray to god you get the help you need, because god has literally saved me from killing myself. I will forever advocate against cocaine use, not all of us get a second chance to make things right, not all of us stop right on time before the nose collapses. God bless you, you’re only human. Don’t feel bad about it, just stop now and move forward. There’s a better life unfolding for you.
I really love how inclusive Joey is in his speech. The way he just casually talks to Jamie in between in his stories, really makes such a subtle but profund differences and it really makes him resonate a conscious inclusiveness to the audience. Its probably one of the reasons, why he is one of the greatest and most authentic comedians that ever lived on this earth.
Thats why joe rogan likes about him, he has done some ruthless acts but there is no doubt that he has a strong personality has a lot of experience and is just real
Bob Cratchit it’s just a saying round my way, I gave it up easily and heroin, vodka is what I struggle with, I never took crack though that’s a different thing. I used to have a gram a day up the nose not smoked
“You could be telling me the most important fuckin thing in your life & I would be watching you but I wasn’t hearing you” I felt that man. It’s not just with addiction. Also with depression & anxiety. Your minds racing so fast with thoughts about something else you could be doing something or talking to someone and totally tune them out. Not even hear a word they say. That shit is real
Been clean from heroin almost 3 years . January 9th is my sobriety date . Shout out to Uncle Joey for the inspiration to finally decide I could get clean & actually do . Thank you brother 🙏🏻
Man, I’m so happy I don’t have to listen to birds chirping and the sun coming up while I’m high as a kite with mates , sitting in a room filled with cigarette smoke and dreading the hellish drive back home, then get home and not sleep one wink until later that night, and the whole time crying at how much I’m fucking up.. Last time I did that was almost 3 years ago and it was absolutely the best decision I’ve ever made in my life..
LMAO spot on. I had nights like that. The drive back home, sunlight, birds chirping, was so depressing to me. My friend just went on and on but I didnt like it. Felt so depressed as soon as the nights over and the sun comes up or when you dont take the next bump fast enough. And I wasnt even addicted, just did it recreational.
Man you nailed it. Honestly reading this would have helped me out on a couple bad comedowns when I thought it was just me going through this. The worst would be when I was walking home, passing happy couples and families out strolling and being wholesome. I felt like such a POS.
worst part about drugs and the one they never tell you about is how high functioning you can actually be as an addict, and that will keep you making excuses for yourself
I did cocaine for 12 years off and on. Never got physically addicted to it but I will say that the psychological addiction to it was quite powerful. Driving to go get it is indeed the best part of it. The excitement you feel when your plug comes through and calls you to let you know he’s got it, speeding through every red light, rolling through every stop sign. Then when you finally open the bag or the paper fold the cocaine is in the smell of it hits your nose and the exhilaration heightens even more. Then your first line hits and it is all downhill from there. The high is powerful but the comedown is miserable, it far outweighs the high especially as time goes on. That’s basically what caused me to quit it. That and numerous instances where it felt like my heart would give out at any minute. It starts off as the best drug you’ve ever done and quickly becomes the worst drug you have ever done. Incredibly flawed substance.
had coke for over 25 years but it really got a grip of me just over 10 years ago and controlled my life - lost everything i had through it - now 1 year clean and slowly getting my life back together - horrible drug
Everything joey is saying is exactly right, I went through the same thing and had the same feelings as he describes. It’s a crazy thing, there would also be nights/times I didn’t even need or want to take it, but I would just because it was there
13yrs clean.I was a coke head. I can relate to everything being said about it. Everything.The tingle feeling. The piece of mind knowing I had coke at home waiting for me.All his stories.
Last year around this time I decided to quit the addiction. I was super depressed and just going through a really tough time cocaine gave me that happy good feeling I was desperately dying for. Little did I know it was probably one of the worst decisions of my life!!! I had done coke before and used it for work the gym and everyday function and it was just fun but was never dependent on it. This time it was different I was using it to self medicate my pain and create this great feeling that life was not handing me in my time of struggle so coke was a great temporary comfort. Woah woah woah but once it got a hold on me there was nothing else I wanted besides it ... goals family friends food hygiene and everything else disappeared it brought out the worst in me days without sleep horrible nights full of paranoia voices and seeing and hearing things that's weren't there and unspeakable acts of my doped up brain . I would do it only at night and would go in until the birds would chirp then it turn from night to morning to afternoon to all day long. When it was finished I would spend hour looking for crumbs I might have dropped and just have a uncontrollable urge to get more . Ugh what a horrible thing cocaine can be I lost my physic that I had been working on for months I lost hard earned money I lost relationships and over all self respect. I became a zombie like human whos survival instinct were taking over and just this horrible human being, In only 5 months of use. Thank God he pulled me out, the road to sobriety it tough and I relapsed multiple times before making any true progress but I kept fighting trying not look back because if it did that to me in 5 months imagine years of addiction. To anyone trying to quit their addiction to narcotics weather it's downers or uppers just know your not alone. We recovering addicts are with you but most important of all God is with you and he will never abandon you, even if everyone else has abandoned you and looks at u like a worthless human being we aren't our mistakes. So if anyone sees this video looking for ways to quit like how I was when I first considered quitting you are strong you are powerful you are worth everything and more, most of all your worthy of living a better life. Though u might try relapse , try relapse and u keep falling time after Time after Time keeps trying keep fighting and keep being strong . There was a time when I thought I would never be sober yet a year later after many stumbles I am still here healthier happier, still fighting and still breathing. Being a better me and not the me that I was in those awful times so I pray you persevere and overcome anything life throws.. you got this and you will beat it Amen 🙏
@@philbisbo859 to be completely honest alcohol but pretty soon i pray i can eliminate every foreign substance from my life but the other stuff is long gone and for god in jesus mighty name !!
I kicked the addiction myself last year and felt great for it. After a recent separation and selling my home I built myself and the break up of my family, I relapsed and I'm high right now which I'm completely ashamed of. It was the stupidest thing I could of done. Now I have to put myself through that hell once again. That's why I'm looking at positive videos about kicking it. I've just flushed a teenth down the toilet and manning up. Luckily I haven't completely destroyed my life yet, but if I touch that poison again I will. If there's any kids out there reading this? Stick to the Beer and Weed if that's your thing. Coke is pure poison and changes you. I hate the person I've become. But I will be my old self again soon enough.
You can do it lad, it’s in there! Draw that strength from its hiding place and use it, you can own it instead of the other way round. I’ve been in a similar position so felt compelled to message to tell you it can be done.
Good on you for quitting the coke Joey. I quit drinking alcohol 6 years ago because it was destroying my family and I've never looked back. You just know when you have to quit something or lose everything.
The thing about any substance use, including even cigarettes, is that ignorance is bliss. Once you know what something feels like, you might crave it, even if you beat the addiction. But if you don't know, there's nothing to temp you. My advice from my personal experience to everyone who hasn't yet done hard drugs : curiosity is much easier to control than temptation. Stay strong folks.
Coke comedown is fucking hell on earth . If you have some personal stuff the high is good but when Its over darkness falls i hate that feeling . Pure depression
@@indiaxlovee impossible, you're probably drinking coffee or energy drinks regularly even tea. We all have habits sure some are better than other but yeah no one is truly sober
That’s just how people his age talk man, my parents and grandparents would always socialize during holidays and the icebreaker would always be “did you see that episode of wheel of fortune a couple Tuesdays ago? I can’t believe he blew it” or something around those lines lol
Man, I know what addiction feels like, coke didn’t do it for me in the end. I learnt how to cook crack and became addicted to that. I’m 40 now sober for 5 years. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Few nights ago, I got wasted with my friends at the bar and I was thinking should I get a bag of coke and party all night? I was so riddled should I do it or not. At the end I decided to leave the bar and just go home. Even though I was drunk as hell, I was so happy that I didnt do any coke. I was smiling on my way to bed realizing that I will be able to fall asleep right away without my heart pounding through my chest, without paranoia or anxiety. I woke up early for work in the morning, I didnt even have a hangover because I was so happy that I didnt do it
You choose the right move not to mix uppers with Downers. I did the same thing, but had a prolonged seizure that lasted a hour also, lost my arm because of compartment syndrome. Because I’m an alcoholic and used to use weed for medicinal purposes. I wasn’t able to quit until my last seizure though.
If your heart is pounding out of your chest you did way too much. 4 months of doing it and my heart only pounded like that twice I blame that on it probably being cut with caffeine
@@Unmaleable My amount record for a night is like 2 grams max, after that I cannot do it anymore. Since I am from southeastern Europe, its getting mixed with bunch of pills and who knows what, maybe thats what causes all the sweating and pounding
Joe is spot on at 6:30 about addiction in humans. we love to have a routine that helps us disconnect and forget reality. often this manifests as becoming a workaholic or a perfectionist. this is par for the course.
Yo i quit 18 years ago, but if I had some in front of me, I would totally do it. Bottom line, it is awesome shit. Like chiva, if only we could control it. I think I could do some now and quit again.
Man I can’t wait till I can say it’s been 10 years I’m struggling with coke right now it’s horrible getting help soon tho came out to my family and have huge support was really hard to do but Joey Diaz is a huge inspiration to me if he can do it so can I
Got a year now of sobriety from coke. It's fun to reminisce and tell stories of the drug but to actually think about going back to using....the misery that comes with it, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
Stories like this helps people in this position whatever the drug of choice is. I hope anyone that is struggling and wants out, to find a way to stop and to better their life without heavy drugs.
Probably one of the best conversations I’ve heard from you joe, you guys hit the nail right on the head. Coming from someone who’s been struggling with dependence’s for years now. I really couldn’t have said it any better
I relate to Joey's drug use so much. I was the same way in active addiction, I kept coke for so long, hell I've had a line left and saved it for days, it was like a safety net, and when it was gone I did crazy shit trying to get it. I'd drive for hours after work, doing 7 12s, just to go back to my hometown or somewhere I knew I could get coke if I was on the road and ended up somewhere dry. I've been off coke for a couple of years and I gotta say I'm still so addicted. It terrifies me thinking of never getting that feeling back. Absolutely terrifies me.
Most importantly, never give up trying. Also try reducing the amount you take in. Instead of a 40 bag, get a 20, then drown out the WDs with beer. Know yourself when high.
I used to do coke x3 per week for about 5 years. I stopped. I decided to get a job in anouther country and quit drinking alcohol also. for a while I had to avoid places where people do coke but now it doesn't bother me.
The thing with molly is that you don't feel good at all after it and the high is good but not worth the low. With percs you just wake up and take them the next day
In my life I had to quit numerous drug addictions including coke. Coke wasn't that hard, I went broke. Poverty is a great motivator. Vicodin, was another story. Very painful withdrawal.
One thing I noticed myself is that at some point you start to feel like drugs and fucking up and being an addict becomes part of your personality and identity. It's like the drugs, be it weed, alcohol, coke or all of those at once become part of what you are, or so you think. So it feels like you're being yourself, and you get comfortable with that idea. You want people to know that you do drugs, that you got the plugs, that kind of stuff. And that's addictive as hell itself, let alone the physical and psychological addiction you have to the high. And I started to feel like if I were to quit, I wouldn't be true to myself, and I'd stop being cool and having fun and feeling bad ass. If that makes any sense. And I'm not a bad ass at all, in fact I'm just a nerd who wants to look like a bad ass. And then you try to quit, but it's like you have to find out who you really are, because you feel like you just lost a big part of your identity and now you have to figure out how you're going to be perceived by others if you're not doing drugs anymore.
I love Joey Diaz. To be so open about your battles with addiction can't be easy. I applaud his transparency. So true, so honest, and so funny! Thank you Joey Diaz!
It’s crazy how an addict will go from sick to fine just because they know they’re gonna get drugs or when they’re on the way to get some or get High. It’s def a mental thing to an extent.
It would be intresting to find a monk that is willing to get addicted to x-drug and see how he would come out of it. He who smokes, is stoned Hasheus 4:20
Great explanation by Joe. I've been in the struggle for 25 years. Heroin literally controlled every decision I made. Like Joe said. You know your life is insane and in chaos but Ive spent most of my life in a chaotic state that it's not uncomfortable. I wake up and feel sick, I know I have to mrr meet my connect, I know I haven't showered in 2 days, I know I lied to 3 people by 9 am, but it's normalcy. Before I get the dope I won't turn on the radio, I won't talk much at all but when I get it, I turn on the radio an I'm whaling out paradise city at the top of my longues and I'm chewing peopled ears off. When I was 21 and I woke up and didn't have any Heroin and I was sick, I called in to work. At that moment I Said to myself that I'm a Heroin addict. I'm a junkie. That wasn't supposed to happen to me! This was not the life I was meant to live. But I ended up living it regardless. An I can't begin to tell you how much I lost. Active addiction is a life of torment and hopelessness. You live with a grey cloud over you. You don't laugh n I mean really laugh! Your not interested in anything. You don't have things to look forward to. Happiness seems like it's not meant for me. I really hope people start to see the hell your in for if you use hard drugs. So many amazing beautiful souls have left way too early because of it.
I had my fun with coke. Haven’t done it in over a year but I quit because of a story my dad told me. He works in a hospital and a patient came in that was a daily coke user for 30 years. Dad said the patients heart was 3 times it’s normal size from swelling. Over working itself. He died
Had a massive coke and alcohol addiction. Along with depression and anxiety..did shrooms once 🍄 changed my life forever. I still do it but like once or twice a year I’m still battling my demons and childhood traumas but thanks to shrooms I became a better person and I will one day beat it all.
everyone says this and I see how it could help addiction but the next day after the shrooms are out the system im always right back into the same addicted mindset. So I dont think just 1 shroom trip is goin help all that much during the trip yes but after ur right back
@@zyback a bad trip can save your life. Do some LSD or alot of shrooms and open a bible. Become too aware, so that you can become at peace with your sober state of awareness, and want it back. Ego-death, it's complex and terrifying, God will walk you through it though
@@baneoftheoppressor5880 I really like how u just said that bro cuz that’s what a bad trip is and what it really means. Becoming way to aware that u freak out. No one really admits that happened to them. One time I was so focused on my heart I thought I was going to die for like 5 min. Iv had bad trips but I guess I always come back to see if I overcome it the next time and I normally do. Lol.
I've bought coke a handful of times and it's so strange, I would be 10 minutes off of a line and be plenty high from it but still if I looked at the bag it was almost uncontrollable, I would just do another line for no reason, and 3 or 4 hours later the bag is done. So glad Uncle Joey turned around man, and even more so these days he's infinitely healthier than he was in this podcast.
Coke is definitely one of those drugs. You just chase it harder and harder, even when you are already high. It’s crazy stuff, and I’m grateful I never fell in love with it like all my friends did. It’s a devil of a mistress.
I remember walking on a sidewalk and picking up a little white stone and inspecting it to make sure it wasn’t coke someone had dropped. I realized at that moment I had let this drug take over my mind. I had to move across the country and restart but I’m 22 years sober now
Yup. Found this out yesterday. Had a gagger and got a drip and was thinking "fuck I wish I had a beer". But for me, it's pretty easy to see that I've hit a peak and to walk away. Especially when it's schplack I bought/dropped on
Thats honestly the best way to stop. For me that is. Knowing its there, but not taking any. I stopped cigs and weed that way. Some people just get rid of everything they have in a hurry, only to buy again. They dont realize its comfort to have it and not taking. Its a good trick. If you have self control..
@@Stanna44 facts , like quitting smoking, a doctor said dont stop buying cigarettes, have a pack available, just decide to not smoke , basically face your enemy instead of hiding from it
I quit coke two hours ago best decision of my life

That line Joey said about "There's some nights about how I didn't even want to do it, or need to do it some nights but still did it" is the most true line about addiction ever spoken.
My drinking habit in a nutshell. "once that shit grips you that's it"
I can relate if the subject was masturbation
Alex Adams that line can be applied to anything even sex. I’ve always said that I’m addicted to everything that’s why I can’t stay addicted to just one thing. Money, pride, and sex are my top three which makes it difficult to stay addicted to coke, weed, alcohol etc.
moneyhafimek everyone’s addicted to those tho. Those are just the basic addictions lmao real addicts are the ones that branch out & get tied up by the drugs, gambling & other shit
No pun intended ‘line’
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with OCD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta

"You're used to fucking up, so fucking up isn't an unusual feeling" never a truer word spoken about cocaine addiction, first couple of times u fuck up trying to quit when u end up back on it you feel remorseful, when u have fucked up multiple times it becomes the norm so you no longer feel guilty about it

So true I’ve said fuck it so many times but no more
I’m 29 and it ruined my life. I don’t wish that addiction on anyone. When you feel great all the time, it’s a hard, rough road when you snap back into reality after 7-8 days of no sleep and four 8 balls later. And you think you’re smooth and people don’t know. They know. When you’re disappearing for 5 minutes at a time every 30 minutes, you’re not exactly being sneaky. I hope anyone struggling can find their method of leaving it behind.
Everything about cocaine is evil.
Your life sucks eh. Grow up get clean
4 days in the now, work tommorow, doing 3x the size lines as when i started and barely keeping my buzz going. such a waste but its insanely
@@urmumsballs69 you can do it bro
@@Gorilla11Savagethe high doesnt last long, so typically people will do a few lines a night. Paired with it already being highly addictive, repeated times, it becomes a habit.
The best way to quit cocaine is to stop drinking alcohol period I used to do coke every weekend then it became an everyday habit once I stopped drinking alcohol I stopped doing coke and so far I’ve been 11 months clean from coke I still don’t drink alcohol I’m afraid that if I get drunk my first instinct is to call my dealer (alcohol is the gateway drug and it makes you do dumb decisions like I did)😔
That was the reason I had my first relapse.....thought I could have a few beers. The problem is we're not addicted to whatever substance, we're addicted to the serotonin, dopamine etc our brains release when we do our drug of choice. Drinking keeps addiction alive. That's also why the "marijuana maintenance" program doesn't work
JesseLimones🙃 keep it up!
I've been clean for 12 years but I had tried for 3 years before that and it wasn't until I quit drinking that it actually stuck. The booze and blow just went hand in hand.
Amen so true after a week or 4 it gets better
I know a lot of people where the drink and sniff go hand in hand but for me it was purely the sniff I don't even drink.

The worst thing about cocaine addiction is having a cocaine addiction
I remember being in day 2 of a bender had one Gram left in a baggie. Was lying in bed smoking cigs drinking beer and doing lines.. anyway i lose the bag. I spend two hours turning the room upside down, I then place my hands on my hips as a "well that's that then" and the bag had been stuck to my back the whole time where I'd been sweating out the binge. Never been so relieved or embarrassed with myself at the same time.
Lmao I felr that
Yeah lose it up your nose lol
You have to take the baseboards off.
I hope everyone struggling with addiction right now can find the strength and motivation to get clean and stay clean

You know, listening to Joey talk about how he beat his cocaine addiction is really fascinating from a behavioral analysis perspective. He kind of accidentally stumbled upon a principle called behavioral extinction. Basically, you remove yourself from a novel environment (he went to bed before 8pm) which is typically associated with the addiction and simultaneously create distractions to fill in the gaps. It's a textbook case of how to beat addiction. When I say textbook, I mean textbook. They teach this stuff in college level BA classes.
Nice love hearing stuff like this
Moving out of my hometown is the only thing that helped me its interesting that they teach that in those level classes I never knew that.
How do you beat food addiction?
@@Yeah_na build a house without a kitchen? Haha
@@dezzahayes6492 ahh yes, or turn the kitchen into a drug den...
I was battling booger sugar addiction and when Joe said all this right here at 6:42 it really hit home for me. I remember fully submitting to the life I was living. I had found a new comfortableness in my sinful decision making. I had accepted that that’s who I was destined to be. Little did I know that I would overcome that hurdle and adjust for the better to seek greater beginnings. To all the men and woman battling addiction out there, it’s important to keep that lil bit of hope that’s caged up in your brain. Remain positive and act on the energy that gives you light, don’t let your inner demons control your mind.
It’s all within the mind. We have the power to stop. We just need to find the want.

After he got outta rehab. He was also an alcoholic and he started drinking when he was 20. He quit when he quit coke and weed. because he was doing so much cocaine and weed that he knew he could overdose. He's 69 and I'm 72. God bless you Joseph

Joe "I've never done cocaine" Rogan
BC C joe “I’m a goddamned liar” rogan
Did he fail a drug test??? People used to think I did it because of certain behaviors I had. I’ve never done it.
Joe talks about other drugs he’s done, he talks about jerking off, why would he lie about it?
What a pussyyyyy
@Paul, Why would he lie about it? Honestly, Cocaine is another type of perception people can have over you if everyone found out you did it. If he were to come out and say he's tried it, that will draw a certain type of attention to him not to mention he's denied it plenty of times so admitting it now would be putting out another fire he wouldn't want to. The perception of him doing coke and lying about it comes from the way he describes certain things about coke in passing. Things only coke heads would know or have experienced. If he says he hasn't done it, i'll believe him but I don't put nothing past anyone nor will I be surprised if he ever comes out and says hes tried it once or 100 times.
The Truth he’s mentioned several times on podcasts that he’s never done it. He’s also mentioned people on the internet always accusing him of it.
What made me stop doing coke was after months of constant use, one night I blew a fat booger which turnt out to be rotten flesh, I now have a perforated septum and even though you can’t tell from looking at me? I have pretty much one big nostril on the inside. That night I did my last bit of coke and ever since then I’ve been clean but the inside of my nose is forever damaged and I feel really bad about it at times. If anybody is going thru a cocaine addiction please stop asap… it’s not worth the damage or the money you waste for it. I pray to god you get the help you need, because god has literally saved me from killing myself. I will forever advocate against cocaine use, not all of us get a second chance to make things right, not all of us stop right on time before the nose collapses. God bless you, you’re only human. Don’t feel bad about it, just stop now and move forward. There’s a better life unfolding for you.
Currently going through it. How did you end up stopping? Just by keeping clear of everything or did support groups help?
Respect but bro! Hard thing to kick
@@M0r3cheese69 the internal damage, and just reading peoples testimonies online helps. Do what you need to stop
I really love how inclusive Joey is in his speech. The way he just casually talks to Jamie in between in his stories, really makes such a subtle but profund differences and it really makes him resonate a conscious inclusiveness to the audience. Its probably one of the reasons, why he is one of the greatest and most authentic comedians that ever lived on this earth.
Thats why joe rogan likes about him, he has done some ruthless acts but there is no doubt that he has a strong personality has a lot of experience and is just real

He-Mans Furry Trunks bruh you just said cocaine isn’t addictive in another comment

Man, I’m so happy I don’t have to listen to birds chirping and the sun coming up while I’m high as a kite with mates , sitting in a room filled with cigarette smoke and dreading the hellish drive back home, then get home and not sleep one wink until later that night, and the whole time crying at how much I’m fucking up..
Last time I did that was almost 3 years ago and it was absolutely the best decision I’ve ever made in my life..
LMAO spot on. I had nights like that. The drive back home, sunlight, birds chirping, was so depressing to me. My friend just went on and on but I didnt like it. Felt so depressed as soon as the nights over and the sun comes up or when you dont take the next bump fast enough. And I wasnt even addicted, just did it recreational.
I can totally relate. Well said man. Sober since Jan2-2015
Man you nailed it. Honestly reading this would have helped me out on a couple bad comedowns when I thought it was just me going through this. The worst would be when I was walking home, passing happy couples and families out strolling and being wholesome. I felt like such a POS.
just reading this give me shills, its like hell on earth, never more.
Man. I felt this comment so much
worst part about drugs and the one they never tell you about is how high functioning you can actually be as an addict, and that will keep you making excuses for yourself
I did cocaine for 12 years off and on. Never got physically addicted to it but I will say that the psychological addiction to it was quite powerful. Driving to go get it is indeed the best part of it. The excitement you feel when your plug comes through and calls you to let you know he’s got it, speeding through every red light, rolling through every stop sign. Then when you finally open the bag or the paper fold the cocaine is in the smell of it hits your nose and the exhilaration heightens even more. Then your first line hits and it is all downhill from there. The high is powerful but the comedown is miserable, it far outweighs the high especially as time goes on. That’s basically what caused me to quit it. That and numerous instances where it felt like my heart would give out at any minute. It starts off as the best drug you’ve ever done and quickly becomes the worst drug you have ever done. Incredibly flawed substance.
I agree especially when you start smoking it. Whole different animal. Cocaine is great until the comedown or you can’t afford it anymore.
had coke for over 25 years but it really got a grip of me just over 10 years ago and controlled my life - lost everything i had through it - now 1 year clean and slowly getting my life back together - horrible drug
Everything joey is saying is exactly right, I went through the same thing and had the same feelings as he describes. It’s a crazy thing, there would also be nights/times I didn’t even need or want to take it, but I would just because it was there
“I was at peace knowing the coke was already home” man that’s the truth
add take a dump
So true. Just knowing you have a gram at home makes you feel better vs knowing you're dry
same as weed, just knowing you run out is enough to make you "queasy".
Them stomach rumbles
I don’t know how much anxiety I had just trying to get it and once I had it I will put it on the counter and not do it for hours

He is telling the truth about those surges you get in your nervous system. Especially trying to sleep. It’s hell.
Last year around this time I decided to quit the addiction. I was super depressed and just going through a really tough time cocaine gave me that happy good feeling I was desperately dying for. Little did I know it was probably one of the worst decisions of my life!!! I had done coke before and used it for work the gym and everyday function and it was just fun but was never dependent on it. This time it was different I was using it to self medicate my pain and create this great feeling that life was not handing me in my time of struggle so coke was a great temporary comfort. Woah woah woah but once it got a hold on me there was nothing else I wanted besides it ... goals family friends food hygiene and everything else disappeared it brought out the worst in me days without sleep horrible nights full of paranoia voices and seeing and hearing things that's weren't there and unspeakable acts of my doped up brain . I would do it only at night and would go in until the birds would chirp then it turn from night to morning to afternoon to all day long. When it was finished I would spend hour looking for crumbs I might have dropped and just have a uncontrollable urge to get more . Ugh what a horrible thing cocaine can be I lost my physic that I had been working on for months I lost hard earned money I lost relationships and over all self respect. I became a zombie like human whos survival instinct were taking over and just this horrible human being, In only 5 months of use. Thank God he pulled me out, the road to sobriety it tough and I relapsed multiple times before making any true progress but I kept fighting trying not look back because if it did that to me in 5 months imagine years of addiction. To anyone trying to quit their addiction to narcotics weather it's downers or uppers just know your not alone. We recovering addicts are with you but most important of all God is with you and he will never abandon you, even if everyone else has abandoned you and looks at u like a worthless human being we aren't our mistakes. So if anyone sees this video looking for ways to quit like how I was when I first considered quitting you are strong you are powerful you are worth everything and more, most of all your worthy of living a better life. Though u might try relapse , try relapse and u keep falling time after Time after Time keeps trying keep fighting and keep being strong . There was a time when I thought I would never be sober yet a year later after many stumbles I am still here healthier happier, still fighting and still breathing. Being a better me and not the me that I was in those awful times so I pray you persevere and overcome anything life throws.. you got this and you will beat it Amen 🙏
Thank you.
Thank you

I kicked the addiction myself last year and felt great for it. After a recent separation and selling my home I built myself and the break up of my family, I relapsed and I'm high right now which I'm completely ashamed of. It was the stupidest thing I could of done. Now I have to put myself through that hell once again. That's why I'm looking at positive videos about kicking it. I've just flushed a teenth down the toilet and manning up. Luckily I haven't completely destroyed my life yet, but if I touch that poison again I will. If there's any kids out there reading this? Stick to the Beer and Weed if that's your thing. Coke is pure poison and changes you. I hate the person I've become. But I will be my old self again soon enough.
You can do it lad, it’s in there! Draw that strength from its hiding place and use it, you can own it instead of the other way round. I’ve been in a similar position so felt compelled to message to tell you it can be done.

Good on you for quitting the coke Joey. I quit drinking alcohol 6 years ago because it was destroying my family and I've never looked back. You just know when you have to quit something or lose everything.

The honesty of these podcast are healing alot of ppl the more stories the more ppl saved and I truly want this nobody is alone
The thing about any substance use, including even cigarettes, is that ignorance is bliss. Once you know what something feels like, you might crave it, even if you beat the addiction. But if you don't know, there's nothing to temp you. My advice from my personal experience to everyone who hasn't yet done hard drugs : curiosity is much easier to control than temptation. Stay strong folks.
Coke comedown is fucking hell on earth . If you have some personal stuff the high is good but when Its over darkness falls i hate that feeling . Pure depression

I was so riddled should I do it or not. At the end I decided to leave the bar and just go home. Even though I was drunk as hell, I was so happy that I didnt do any coke. I was smiling on my way to bed realizing that I will be able to fall asleep right away without my heart pounding through my chest, without paranoia or anxiety. I woke up early for work in the morning, I didnt even have a hangover because I was so happy that I didnt do it
You choose the right move not to mix uppers with Downers. I did the same thing, but had a prolonged seizure that lasted a hour also, lost my arm because of compartment syndrome. Because I’m an alcoholic and used to use weed for medicinal purposes. I wasn’t able to quit until my last seizure though.
If your heart is pounding out of your chest you did way too much. 4 months of doing it and my heart only pounded like that twice I blame that on it probably being cut with caffeine
@@Unmaleable My amount record for a night is like 2 grams max, after that I cannot do it anymore. Since I am from southeastern Europe, its getting mixed with bunch of pills and who knows what, maybe thats what causes all the sweating and pounding
@@marlboroman2601 my limit is like .2 a night...strong stuff here.

Don't u mean '2017' bro?
Shh, don’t tell him. Now he won’t experience 2020 until 10 years! :) jk
Joe is spot on at 6:30 about addiction in humans. we love to have a routine that helps us disconnect and forget reality. often this manifests as becoming a workaholic or a perfectionist. this is par for the course.
The comment about how calming it is knowing its at home waiting is 💯 spot on.
Even if its not session night its still comforting!
Joey Diaz "There were nights I didn't want to do it...but I did it" real talk 3+ yrs
this is the best, most honest conversation about addiction ive ever heard.
Yo i quit 18 years ago, but if I had some in front of me, I would totally do it. Bottom line, it is awesome shit. Like chiva, if only we could control it. I think I could do some now and quit again.
Except for the part where he claimed he had a "sixteenth" of oxycontin, which doesn't even exist. Credibility: ZERO-POINT-ZERO. 😉
Man I can’t wait till I can say it’s been 10 years I’m struggling with coke right now it’s horrible getting help soon tho came out to my family and have huge support was really hard to do but Joey Diaz is a huge inspiration to me if he can do it so can I
Stay strong brother. I'm also struggling
Got a year now of sobriety from coke. It's fun to reminisce and tell stories of the drug but to actually think about going back to using....the misery that comes with it, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
As someone currently going through addiction recovery, this video honestly helped me. Joey a proper realist!!!
Andrew Watson go head andrew 👍🏽
Yea man hows it going? Hope youre on a better road in life.
Respect, stay focused. Make small goals
Never did hard drugs. It was pretty easy to look around and see the waste cases. "Just having a good time" turns to shit pretty quick.
ikr. Hell, weed withdrawals were enough of an eye opener.
Great interview 👍
Stories like this helps people in this position whatever the drug of choice is. I hope anyone that is struggling and wants out, to find a way to stop and to better their life without heavy drugs.
This is honest therapy for those addicted. Thanks Joey Diaz This is truth and no judgement for those going through hard times.
Probably one of the best conversations I’ve heard from you joe, you guys hit the nail right on the head. Coming from someone who’s been struggling with dependence’s for years now. I really couldn’t have said it any better
I relate to Joey's drug use so much. I was the same way in active addiction, I kept coke for so long, hell I've had a line left and saved it for days, it was like a safety net, and when it was gone I did crazy shit trying to get it. I'd drive for hours after work, doing 7 12s, just to go back to my hometown or somewhere I knew I could get coke if I was on the road and ended up somewhere dry. I've been off coke for a couple of years and I gotta say I'm still so addicted. It terrifies me thinking of never getting that feeling back. Absolutely terrifies me.
@Castlo Carlos nice try FBI
Damn bro I feel really similar to weed. Stay strong
I love joey Diaz’s stories the guy is a fountain of knowledge
There’s nothing worse than losing control. The feeling of helplessness is hell...I haven’t been to hell in over 7 years.
I always found the first 5 days after the weekend the hardest when I was addicted to coke.
Lol
Yup same here weekends were party time well the rest were down days
Dude when he talked about the spine pain... that shit brought back some bad memories.
Been trying to stop drinking and doing coke... been 2 days.. one day at a time..... prayers for anyone else trying to make positive changes 🙏
im right there with you, you got this
How are you getting on?
Most importantly, never give up trying. Also try reducing the amount you take in. Instead of a 40 bag, get a 20, then drown out the WDs with beer. Know yourself when high.
I used to do coke x3 per week for about 5 years. I stopped. I decided to get a job in anouther country and quit drinking alcohol also. for a while I had to avoid places where people do coke but now it doesn't bother me.
Robert Taylor I never gonna stop
@@Bekltuvanetko You can stop man, if you want to. Believe in yourself man, try to avoid places and things that lead to it
Congratulations!
@Neurolicious Shit dude. Stay away from that shit. For me I had to quit alcohol too.
Took a perc 30 once and realized right there I don't ever want to see that shit ever again because it was the greatest thing I've ever felt in my life
had this experience with molly.
@@sanderson9635 Indeed, you are doomed to Always compare Everything Else with the High of molly. And Nothing comes close
i used to take 2 back to back but after i did em so much, i got sick of em.. been months and i dont even think about em
The thing with molly is that you don't feel good at all after it and the high is good but not worth the low. With percs you just wake up and take them the next day
@@missythestaffy9785 facts
It took me my friends grave to quit drugs. 5 years all clean, Life’s never been better.
This video should be titled... "Trigger to buy an 8-ball"
Brian Gallas if u can’t control urself at all
Facts hahahahaha
Or, reasons to QUIT.
Sobriety is for quitters 😎
Rehab is for quitters
In my life I had to quit numerous drug addictions including coke. Coke wasn't that hard, I went broke. Poverty is a great motivator. Vicodin, was another story. Very painful withdrawal.
GOD BLESS ,, he speaks the truth!!!!!! 10 year's big hug from a common nurse... From Michigan
One thing I noticed myself is that at some point you start to feel like drugs and fucking up and being an addict becomes part of your personality and identity. It's like the drugs, be it weed, alcohol, coke or all of those at once become part of what you are, or so you think. So it feels like you're being yourself, and you get comfortable with that idea. You want people to know that you do drugs, that you got the plugs, that kind of stuff. And that's addictive as hell itself, let alone the physical and psychological addiction you have to the high. And I started to feel like if I were to quit, I wouldn't be true to myself, and I'd stop being cool and having fun and feeling bad ass. If that makes any sense. And I'm not a bad ass at all, in fact I'm just a nerd who wants to look like a bad ass. And then you try to quit, but it's like you have to find out who you really are, because you feel like you just lost a big part of your identity and now you have to figure out how you're going to be perceived by others if you're not doing drugs anymore.
I love Joey Diaz. To be so open about your battles with addiction can't be easy. I applaud his transparency. So true, so honest, and so funny! Thank you Joey Diaz!
It’s crazy how an addict will go from sick to fine just because they know they’re gonna get drugs or when they’re on the way to get some or get High. It’s def a mental thing to an extent.
Cocaine is all mental, I'm coming off it now.
It would be intresting to find a monk that is willing to get addicted to x-drug and see how he would come out of it.
He who smokes, is stoned
Hasheus 4:20
Thats not how withdrawals work tho
@@h3ck774 rehab confirmed. Because it’s ritual effect in the brain from going to get drugs vs not.
Technically its physically and mental
Great explanation by Joe. I've been in the struggle for 25 years. Heroin literally controlled every decision I made. Like Joe said. You know your life is insane and in chaos but Ive spent most of my life in a chaotic state that it's not uncomfortable. I wake up and feel sick, I know I have to mrr meet my connect, I know I haven't showered in 2 days, I know I lied to 3 people by 9 am, but it's normalcy. Before I get the dope I won't turn on the radio, I won't talk much at all but when I get it, I turn on the radio an I'm whaling out paradise city at the top of my longues and I'm chewing peopled ears off. When I was 21 and I woke up and didn't have any Heroin and I was sick, I called in to work. At that moment I Said to myself that I'm a Heroin addict. I'm a junkie. That wasn't supposed to happen to me! This was not the life I was meant to live. But I ended up living it regardless. An I can't begin to tell you how much I lost. Active addiction is a life of torment and hopelessness. You live with a grey cloud over you. You don't laugh n I mean really laugh! Your not interested in anything. You don't have things to look forward to. Happiness seems like it's not meant for me. I really hope people start to see the hell your in for if you use hard drugs. So many amazing beautiful souls have left way too early because of it.
I had my fun with coke. Haven’t done it in over a year but I quit because of a story my dad told me. He works in a hospital and a patient came in that was a daily coke user for 30 years. Dad said the patients heart was 3 times it’s normal size from swelling. Over working itself. He died
Had a massive coke and alcohol addiction. Along with depression and anxiety..did shrooms once 🍄 changed my life forever. I still do it but like once or twice a year I’m still battling my demons and childhood traumas but thanks to shrooms I became a better person and I will one day beat it all.
Psychedelics can give that mental reset you need, they’ve helped me. Best of luck man, you’ll beat it
everyone says this and I see how it could help addiction but the next day after the shrooms are out the system im always right back into the same addicted mindset. So I dont think just 1 shroom trip is goin help all that much during the trip yes but after ur right back
@@zyback a bad trip can save your life. Do some LSD or alot of shrooms and open a bible. Become too aware, so that you can become at peace with your sober state of awareness, and want it back. Ego-death, it's complex and terrifying, God will walk you through it though
@@baneoftheoppressor5880 I really like how u just said that bro cuz that’s what a bad trip is and what it really means. Becoming way to aware that u freak out. No one really admits that happened to them. One time I was so focused on my heart I thought I was going to die for like 5 min. Iv had bad trips but I guess I always come back to see if I overcome it the next time and I normally do. Lol.
@@zyback ego death changed my whole perception
I've bought coke a handful of times and it's so strange, I would be 10 minutes off of a line and be plenty high from it but still if I looked at the bag it was almost uncontrollable, I would just do another line for no reason, and 3 or 4 hours later the bag is done. So glad Uncle Joey turned around man, and even more so these days he's infinitely healthier than he was in this podcast.
I had the same experience.
@@24flyingcats84 Very easy to see how people with lots of money can get so far into an addiction with it.
Coke is definitely one of those drugs. You just chase it harder and harder, even when you are already high. It’s crazy stuff, and I’m grateful I never fell in love with it like all my friends did. It’s a devil of a mistress.
The last line and the come down afterwards is so depressing.
Yeah I'm the same, just one after another
I remember walking on a sidewalk and picking up a little white stone and inspecting it to make sure it wasn’t coke someone had dropped. I realized at that moment I had let this drug take over my mind. I had to move across the country and restart but I’m 22 years sober now
Congratulations on newfound sobriety 🎉stay strong, focus on your goals and you’re set
Not turning over a stone for drugs 💀
Been there
Damn bro
U was finna try that mf 🤣😭
Joe roagan can adhd meds like addreall have an affect on like socail devoplment and socail skills ?
I love doing cocaine but only when I drink. Coke on its own sucks but with some beers it makes your night fantastic. Until you run out
I totally get that. It’s hard to stop once you’re on the train.
Bobby Hill yes it is lol. You just don't want the fun to stop.
Mitch Butcher no tnx I have plenty of fun without a fictional wizard in my life
Luke Stakelbeck lmfao I know right.. spot on
Yup. Found this out yesterday. Had a gagger and got a drip and was thinking "fuck I wish I had a beer". But for me, it's pretty easy to see that I've hit a peak and to walk away. Especially when it's schplack I bought/dropped on
" I didn't have to do it , I had peace KNOWING it was at the house." Perfect example of true addiction, i know trust me.
I heard that. Shit hit home honestly
Yup
Thats honestly the best way to stop. For me that is. Knowing its there, but not taking any. I stopped cigs and weed that way. Some people just get rid of everything they have in a hurry, only to buy again. They dont realize its comfort to have it and not taking. Its a good trick. If you have self control..
@@Stanna44 facts , like quitting smoking, a doctor said dont stop buying cigarettes, have a pack available, just decide to not smoke , basically face your enemy instead of hiding from it
Same
