I’m going into rehab today pray for me and my family

[ExquisiteTouch.M.M.P]

March was 4 years clean from 30 years of drug/sex abuse.

I learned a lot in inpatient treatment but even more in outpatient. It’s really important to keep it continuous and surround yourself with supportive people. Also, don’t beat yourself up if you relapse, just get back into your sobriety path right away.

[radrichardsontwo]

The first step has always been wrong, admitting or acknowledging you are powerless never did me any good. You have to ACCEPT that you are powerless. Huge difference in my recovery when I realized that. I admitted it 20 years ago and continued to drink, I didn’t accept that fact until 2020. Been sober ever since

[stevencurtis]

So lost right now. All makes sense but actions are challenging day to day. We have to want it for ourselves and our family… much love

1 month clean and I'm already a different human. I'm about to take over

[tomtheaddict]

“you’re in trouble and it’s serious” that hit hard

[MarioGomez-ndmx]

Did 3 months in rehab now I'm in RBH ( sober living). I'm 6 months clean and now I'm working and go to outpatient groups, I feel so much better and look forward to the future.

[GaahlDukat]

I will never forget the exact moment that i said "i'm so tired of this, i'm just done with it"

[hassasinali]

I realised I was powerless so many days ago.
I thank god for it.

Awareness -> Acceptance -> Action

[spencergill]

I am a buprenorphine addict, I have suffered with addiction since early teens. (glue, aerosols, then moved onto alcohol and now opioids and nerve damage pain killers) you have helped me in ways you could never know Jordan Peterson ! We love you.

[kencress]

Breaking addiction isn't only knowing it's doing it's all in the doing that breaks the cycle, into action, Mega respect for both of these guys, prayers over anybody struggling in active addiction

[neneybop]

I believe only you can fix it. Talking from vast experience here. If you feel humiliated the problem will only be worse... never bad from others about what you do to yourself, just makes it more addictive

[cheesecheese]

I LITERALLY AM DOING WHAT HES SAYING LATELY AND JUST SAW THIS

[irenasmart]

Nice to see Dr Peterson with our lovely Russell Brand has been bad and good and sad and happy in a mix of times and now he has sorted himself out coupled with maturity I would think plays a part...Dr Peterson would know instantly what Russell would like their conversation how to start proceed and end... This is what Dr Peterson life is all about....non-judgemental and the offer to guide.... That's why many people worldwide love Dr Peterson... 🤗❤

I also agree the first step is realising it is a problem and admitting to yourself you have a problem. However, it may be quite some time before you attempt to change the problem you recognise. The problem is normally very serious before you make any changes. So you may be sick of your life and the constant hunt for the substance, but you will live in that state for quite some time. He is right learning. People with addictions have the repetitive cycle of doing this harmful thing and never learning. You need to be ready to learn and accept the big changes that need to be made. Nobody else can make you learn- absolutely nobody but you. You have to be your own saviour when it comes to escaping the self destructing illness that is known as addiction. It’s very hard for whatever reason to learn from previous bad experiences- and sometimes it seems you never learn. you just cannot link destructive behaviour with this time. This time is the all and now. Nothing else even mattered. Its grip is so powerful.

[JenB.]

This is so true. I wish more people in the world could hear this message and embrace it.

Just to let you know, even if you are taking drugs at this very moment reading this comment, you will get there… be patient the result is fantastic ❤️

Just lost $4000 gambling last night and I see this as a 26 year old man it’s the most irrational form of addiction around work so hard just to give everything I earned up but I called for the first time to today to get to a meeting tn as humiliating as this is I already did it I can’t take it back so therefore just fix it or as Jordan said I’m willing to learn to fix it is where I am at now good luck to everyone with there own personals issues I wish you the best and a lot of love!
