Im over 30 days sober. No marijuana, no alcohol, no drugs of any kind. On a whole foods plant based diet, and im excersozing everday. ❤ Ive never felt better. I did not start on the 1st of January. I started 1st of june. Start when you feel sure of it and push yourself. The detoxing will turn you in a crazy moody person and you will question everything. Just be kind to yourself and do it. Do not slip up.

I cant believe I'm about to write this. I just got 100% clean (it's been 1 year) after 45+ years of daily active addiction. It's possible.

[evanandevergreen]

I love your eloquent use of the word “Fuck.”

[JessicaLorie-ftiq]

I listen to you every single day your literally are saving my life in many topics I can’t afford therapy but this is better than any part time therapist i can always pick a topic im frustrated on when ever and that’s amazing dont stop doing what your doing 😊

[JoyceMartincream]

I have decided to do the opposite for 75 days, wake up when I want, eat what I want, stay up all night, not answer the phone, unless I want, no schedule, no explaining, no forced family events, exercise when I want, clean when I want, I do not drink, but if I want one I will, it's just me & the dog. Have never had time to find myself, to be home, enjoy myself, watch the birds, OMG, I get to read, listen to the music I like, been loving this time just to think & do what I want.
It's been a struggle but I am doing this.
High fiving myself also. 🌈✌️💞 🖐️

The disease of addiction is NOT A HABIT. When you're new in recovery you have no business even going to a party where there's alcohol. "For some reason I wanted to drink"...things an alcoholic would say😂😂 When I was a drunk, over 27yrs ago, before I knew I was an alcohol, I was court ordered to go to AA meetings. I remember sharing in a meeting that "I don't think I'm an alcoholic yet and I don't want to be one because I REALLY LIKE DRINKING."😂😂 The whole room cracked up laughing😂😂😂😂 I didn't have a clue why they were laughing but I enjoyed the attention. I grew up with a Narcissistic mom who never listened to me so it felt good to have a room full of people listening, hearing and seeing me. It took me 2 DUI's to start thinking I might have a problem and 3 DUI's to finally get help. The hangovers, being raped when passed out, black outs (not remembering everything that happened because I was drunk, throwing up etc wasn't enough to realize I have the disease of addiction. So many alcoholics/addicts die because the symptoms of the disease of addiction aren't taught in our society. There's only 3 types of drinkers. A social drinker is one who has 1 or 2 drinks and goes for months without a drink without thinking about it at all. A drunk is an alcoholic who doesn't know they're an alcoholic. And the 3rd is an alcoholic. And then there's people like me who when I learned I'm an alcoholic I chose to go to a recovery home and now have over 27yrs sober...1 day at a time. I'm not using all this time to write posts because I feel like it, infact I'd much rather be doing something else right now. But I'm so greatful to be sober I need to share how I got sober in hopes to save someone elses life. While your in a recovery home you will also be going to 90 meetings in 90 days. The success rate of going to a recovery home is the highest. Just going to meetings isn't enough!

Love you Mel! It's like you read my mind... Source does a great job connecting me to your videos right when I'm needing that particular message.

Lately, I've been feeling lost. I just sit and feel stuck, I feel like I have no passion, no motivation, just numb. I have spent the last 6 years rewriting my story after an extremely traumatic and poverty stricken childhood. I'm so appreciative of people like you coming in to my life and helping guide my path. ❤

[MovementForLYFEwithShawnRobin]

Wow! I’m only half way through listening and I just have to THANK YOU Mel & Louis & all the others for sharing your personal journeys and knowledge. Today’s podcast resonates to my core and is a phenomenal resource for my personal healing and provides clarity about my path of how it is that I can impact others in their healing journey to live their best life physically, mentally, spiritually & emotionally. I recently became my own student by applying what I have been teaching others for decades, now to myself as well as seeking out teachers like you and my appreciation for your work is deep beyond measure. Have a blessed & beautiful everyday!

All day I have been trying to wash up and have a bath. So far I have cleaned the bath. It's 5.37pm and I got up at 8.45am. I self sabotage on a daily basis. :( Thanks Mel. Your perspective is very appreciated. x

[Akimin]

Thank you Mel, I am working on myself for few weeks, and today I had fuck up moment. I was definitely angry at myself and thinking: Here we go again. I did run away again. :( So I needed this episode! ♥️

[Newlaw]

"What am I going to do when it really gets hard?" Yes, I think that everyday.

[jralvarez]

300 days that’s so awesome. Something to feel very proud of. Do it again

[LH-yomq]

Thank you Mel. I’ve realized I need to change my thoughts, my thinking and especially the way I treat myself. Everyday I learn a little more. I’m truly grateful and I will definitely high five myself and appreciate how much I’ve come. ❤️❤️❤️

You amazing human. So so grateful for this. I experienced an amazing moment a few days ago.
I SAW myself (face) for the first time in 64 years. I could see my nose or eyes etc but never saw my whole face.
It was like meeting a new friend. I was so happy to meet myself.
I was Shame walking from a very young age and as I have worked over the years, I became aware that envisioning a better future has gotten easier and nicer( instead of triggering) and I now see my entire self. Not always nicely but at least I am no longer a Wraith. I have substance now.
The military has said this for years. A reason they are made to Make the Bed. Gives the brain a task oriented sense instead of, rest and relax.
For me the trick has been to get to the point that I actually mattered enough to try and Heal.
I look forward to High fiving myself.
When you described your past self, Isaw me and I have so much respect for you that I am inspired again.
Namaste ❤

Hello Mel. Thank you for going there. I had a spiritual awakening and self love is exactly what we are ALL doing whether we know it or not. I am in the works of being a speaker to get this out like you are doing. I am passionate about healing myself and helping others. You are doing divine work. Thank you. I am grateful ❤

[dvzhwxs]

I love how you just put things out there! You talk about following the dreams that I have. When I try, I just see nothing, no dreams. So I feel like a spinning top at the end of each day. I'm going to continue to listen and I plan on finding my dreams. Keep talking to us. Thank you! ❤

[ArtByHazel]

Thank you Mel! You’re definitely the sister from another mister.

Listening to your podcast while high five-ing myself for choosing ONE decision to create a happier, healthier, and wealthier life with purpose.

We’re totally capable of reinventing ourselves now in 2023.

Blessings everyone! ❤🇨🇦😊🎉

Mel I was driving to Santa Monica it's almost Xmas my Mother passed last year in December - my life went crashing down....because of you and Teal Swan I'm above water - so I dragged my dog Louie to fulfill my day because I'm very lonely he's 15 years old and health not the best - we get out to the promenade my poor boy just simply too out of it to walk and I get irritated. Here's the thing I always needed people and NOW Im seeing my poor dog to fulfill my loneliness because of my dreaded fear of just being enough with myself but also taking serious steps to heal that part of me I find every way to avoid it. Mel I put this video on at random on my drive home in the traffic WHEN WERE OPEN CHANGE CAN BEGIN Mel your single handedly saving my life and I'm sure countless others - also your honesty is so damn refreshing and you do make me laugh because OMG yes I relate - we all do. I actually said the following at the end of this video...."Thank you Mel don't you ever leave me" lol see how desperately I need to work at myself and be whole just having myself It's because of you I now know I have a serious issue to face.
