As a former heroin addict (13 years) this is completely correct. Having meaningful work is so ridiculously important most don't even know. This video is very on point. Nice job.
Opiate Kitten I don't understand the difference between meaningful work and sculpting yourself. What is the difference? They are so similar
Opiate Kitten what's the difference between meaningful work and sculpting
Why are you still >dooming then
@@SJ-dp3zm meaningful work is when you have a job that you love and it brings you happiness and sculpting is when you work hard to improve different areas of yourself like revising or getting better at sports etc
Really glad you came out of it. Hope you're doing well these days.
"To their surprise, not one rat died from cocaine overdose"
Now, that not a sentence I thought I would ever hear in my life.
not all heroes wear capes.
thanks improvement pill
Did you just assume he doesn't wear a cape?

Why run away from reality when reality is so awesome!

Sometimes its hard for me to click on the videos because I know im going to hear the truth. I hope this channel will last for as long as possible. You already helped me a lot :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Robin, 18 From France
You and Practical Psychology are on the the most value offering channels. Keep up the good work!
I am happy and sad at the same time when i see them posting.Happy cause they post usefull stuff and sad because they post so rare.
Project Better Self ... I think they teamed-up for one of their videos.
Improvement Pill is actually a really active poster in my opinion
Project Better Self I would also recommend black white guy in America

Dude, honestly, I don't even care about the content; your voice and style of presentation alone make me really motivated. Glad I found your channel!
I was embrassed to admit his voice and the way he explain step by step gave me life
There's a big problem with this method. When bad things happen in life you will go back to your addiction
I hate hearing how I need to make friends to be happy. I just hate having to rely on others for happiness. God. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage.
Manny Singh you my friend, need to make some friends
SubjectSwag i know but once you embrace the freedom of solitude, you realise how much work it is to make friends let alone keep them
Dude I get where you are coming from. I hate people (well not hate, but I do like my solitude) I myself spend my job speaking to randoms on the phone and when I come home from work the last thing I want is to deal with is more people.
I had pushed away my friends over the last few years and I set myself an amazingly difficult task of re-connecting and I have actually seen an improvement in my happiness and self appreciation.
I am happy myself with my own company and find great joy in doing things myself but even having one day a week that I make an effort to hang out with a friend the change is actually fun.
You don't need other to feel happy, however we are biologically tuned to need other people, on a scientific level we are motivated by our biology to seek social interactions because on a base biological level the pack survives better than the lone wolf and it's more than a little impossible to re-produce on your own.
We as a culture are so good at going against our base nature and sometimes it is for the best but a lot of the time we make life more difficult.
Mate find self worth in your personal alone time, but I challenge you to take just a few hours a week to make an effort to connect with old friends or to try and make knew ones and see if it has any difference =)
P.S. Nice reference with the lyrics, made me laugh =D
Michael Graves well im glad i gave you a laugh lol. and thank you for the words. i suppose this lone wolf mentality is the direct offspring of a past of countless rejection and loneliness. it almost like ive grown accustom to the fear that engines my misery. i suppose challenging my self doubt, and trying to reconnect with others would be a great next step for me. thanks
Manny Singh I'm glad my words helped =) I can empathize with the fear of rejection and it definitely is easier to build up the walls than keeping on trying and getting hurt, however it's like what he said in the video we can so often run to the things that give us comfort and avoid the real world, however when we face the world and change all the little things in our lives we start to realize we don't need to run, because we have made the real world somewhere we love.
I am definitely not there myself yet and I have a long way to go, but it's good to help each other out =)
And the more we feel confident in ourselves (and that confidence comes from actively changing our lives for the better) the more we will be able to go into social situations confidently and as they say, confidence is attractive to others =)
But let me know how you get along =)
Wish you all the best out there in the big bad world =)
i cannot agree more, i was literally nodding my head throughout this video, i am going for it guys, wish me luck :)
The Bible is right when it says to "Flee (run away from) temptation" . - 2 Timothy
When temptation arises, put yourself in a new setting immediately and then meditate and pray to the Father in that NEW setting .
amen my friend
Oh yes, prayer & reading is helping with my gambling problem💖
Definitely need to get out of my parents house. But rent is too expensive so I can't.
@@lauraswihart8018 Hope you overcome your gambling problem
Improvement Pill, I can't express how thankful and happy am do you have access to your videos! Your work is incredible and if for any reason you ever doubt yourself, just know that you ARE deeply helping so many people. Thank you so much for everything!
So, what I need to successfully get rid of my addiction is first change my environment, focus on other better activities like cooking, reading etc.
My goals for 2017: Quit smoking, quit porn and work out every day.
Obliviens how's it going so far
Obliviens well, there are my goals for 2013,2014, 2015,2016, 2017 and finally 2018 too
ho?
So how did it go? 😁
Did you do it?
Holy mole... I literally felt is you were speaking DIRECTLY to me! I spent ALL DAY yesterday making schedules to taper off certain habits of mine because I knew that taking small steps would ultimately lead to a better outcome and without less disappointment. So I have all this in my mind when I wake up, I go to youtube, and THIS is literally the FIRST video that's suggested to me. I think the universe is conspiring in my favor lol :)
I found your channel just one day ago and subscribed after watching the first video. Which I never do. This is truly the most practical advice I've ever come across on CZcams. There's something about your work that other self help videos are missing. I'm so curious as to how you started and what brought you to where you are with this.
Improvement Pill Great idea! Might not be long to wait, haha :)
Improvement Pill and dont forget to put in 'the sixth Tibetan Rite' in the program.I just dont know why the no fap community doesnt know or talks about it when it can be so helpful in quitting fapping.
As 21heartsong said, your channel is really unique and amazing on addiction issues because you quickly and simply get into PRACTICAL strategies and solutions.
This video is 100% true and helpful. As someone that has been overcoming addiction for a year and a half, these are the things that absolutely work. It isn't easy at first. The exact opposite. It may, at times, feel like it is a futile thing to do. If you take it day by day, as well as finding something you are passionate about, then it will get better. I was told something that I still hold on to: "Every day, you wake up an addict. What you do throughout the course of the day will determine if you go to bed with another day of sobriety under your belt or in the midst of a relapse." One day at a time. That's all you can do, so do it the best you can.
This is so true...
I've been doing all three before watching this video and haven't been tempted to addiction....
You're so awesome Improvement Pill, thank you for the videos!
Wow, some really powerful knowledge dropped today. Thanks for sharing man
take me to Rat Park senpai
Go outside and child.
You have no idea how much this video has just impacted me.
I just randomly came across your channel and I gotta say that your videos are truly amazing and inspirational.
You got yourself a new subscriber !
Your channel is one of the major reason why i even come to youtube. You are the ray of hope man. WE all love you.
3 - Areas to overcome addiction:
1. Deep Human bonding (focus on real life interaction - not social media)
2. Meaningful work (do something meaningful fx. helping others)
3. Sculpting - work on yourself (sacrifice desires to sculpt a better life fx resist eating a snack)
-- Keep improving these 3 areas and it will become easier to overcome your addiction - Create a positive feedback loop by doing this
Thanks it means a lot I thought I was alone great to see a fellow Inteligent being lol.
This channel is pure gold.
The best self-improvement channel on CZcams, keep it up!
PandaSamurai98 look at practical physiology
Just thank you man this is easily my favorite channel on CZcams
People might not say this often in comment section.. but we are very grateful for the work you put in this challenge. You really inspired me to work on myself
I want to start by saying that I do like this video. It addresses the fact that quitting "cold turkey" doesn't deal with the underlying issues. However; it is a very basic introduction into addiction. The flaw lies in assuming that someone in addiction can just start changing. I tried the gym, I changed jobs, I moved, I found new friends and yet I kept going back to drugs. Addiction is much more than just changing the surroundings. Most addicts have deep seeded mental, emotional, and spiritual issues. Yes, creating a deeper bond with another human being is important, but it doesn't help address those issues. Some people need professional help. Myself, I started going to 12 step meetings. Some of the principles do relate to the three things you mentioned in your video. Real change comes with more than just changing the surroundings, or the "rat park". Maybe I am not the most qualified person to address this topic, but with over 10 years clean, I do know a little bit about it. I'd like to see you do a video that touches more on the emotional, mental and spiritual change that needed.
Please don't take this as a negative rant. The fact that you understand addiction and put it into a light other than criminal and degenerative helps fight the old adage that says "once an addict, always an addict". With that said, thank you for this video.
Thanks. I'll start putting these tips to use to quit my CZcams addiction, which eats up hours of my time each and every day.
i gotta say this is the best video ever, other ones usually tell you to buy a cd or a book to find out or just doesnt get to the point but this is the complete opposite, thanks improvement pill
You know you really like a channel, when you like a video before it even loaded.
You are one of two channels where I do it.
Recently found your channel, I love your work man. I see so much goes into developing each video. Your method is by far the best one I've heard so far and I've heard a lot before. So I will definitely put it to practice. Thank you and please continue to inspire us 👊
I absolutely adore this channel. Improvement Pill you truly are... Improving this world.
I fucking love you man. It just shows that you actually care about people. I'm looking forward to the addiction course! I signed up!
This was the perfect new year video. Such well rounded advice and in such a logical sequence. Very well put.
You sir, just earned another sub! I've been coming back to your channel for a few weeks, I've been getting into self improvement, so I just subbed
This is one of my favorite channels good work bro
I’m here trying to break a trauma bond. It’s so hard to get over this addiction, but I got this!
Quarantine has pretty much
Messed up a lot of people's happiness and sanity
Best informing Channel i've ever found 10/10
I'm going to try out all these tips from your Videos
i just wanted to say thanks
ill start sculting my self to be a better me.
the person who i am right now is only a shadow of what i was before, the videos you produce help me get back there
thank you
all of your videos are life changing, man
awesome mate! you deserve hell lot more views
I am trying to quit drinking. All my friends drink and are unsupportive. Sooooo….no friends and I've never felt better. I'll make new friends soon, but for the moment I am enjoying being on my own with no outer noise. Except youtube. Thanks for the video!
this is excellent advice. most people don't really talk about this strategy, they just discuss techniques to stop yourself from having setbacks instead of replacing the urge itself with alternative sources of happiness
Dude, u have a really beautiful voice.
Thanks for your videos so much!Thanks for aiding and helping us in fixing and making ourselves better!
man i hope you to become a big huge channel, because i want to share your vids with my friends but with actual spanish voice acting, im from Venezuela and not everyone knows english but maybe this comment if you get to read opens up your dreams and motivate you to keep doing these videos and helping people all over the world with different cultures!
"A person who has little friends" lol my friends are all dwarves
Good advice, keep the good work up dude. Thanks for posting. Peace
I'm a new subscriber. I'm so happy I stumbled upon your videos! Very great help for me
OMG Thank you so much, finnaly I know now what to do. :)
thanks improvement pill, you're really realistic with how I can overcome my goals.
it makes sense,people have nothing else to do so they obviously have no choice but to keep "doing thier addiction". You just have to keep yourself busy and do other hobbies. My friend addicted to porn stopped being addicted when he found a girl he spends his time with and stuff. Another friends of mine addicted to drugs stopped his addiction when he was in boot camp ,a whole 90 days of no drugs and just constant pain and exercise
they drug test you before you can even go to boot camp
my friend stopped his drug addiction when he started cadets. It all makes sense.
39genies lol there are ways to pass buddy
Ritlan yep
frank Rambo what is "boot camp"? i searched for it in google but it says it is an app,
Just stumbled upon this channel, immediately subscribed... so much good life impacting advise and lessons on here

Wow! The very first video I watched gave me incredible motivation!💪🏽💪🏽

Hey, I have to say that is the most helpful and positive view on overcoming addiction I have heard, Your videos are amazing! You have such a clear and confident manor that you present your material in and you can tell from the way you present your videos that you actually do it to help others improve their life. Your doing amazing work ans I thought you should hear it again as I am sure so many others have said it before.
I also can't wait to put in some of the hints and tricks that I have learnt from your social interaction videos into my contact center job ^.^
Im so happy I stumbled up on your channel

This might be the best video about addictions i have seen in my life, straight to the point no bullshit. Love it! I have quit cigarettes, alcohol, LSD, magic mushrooms, shopping, mdma, hashish, sugar, benzodiacepines with ease however porn seems to be most difficult and hardest one to overcome its literally a challenge, specialy if you were expose to it at young age. MUST NOT FAP!!!. I do smoke Ganjah like once every 2 weeks it relaxes me but i am proud i am not the heavy smoker i used to be. :)
Thank you man. Love your vids.
Great work buddy
You improve my life 😊
