People come to Theo because he's funny. They stay because he's real and people can relate to him.

I’m sitting here with just over 5 days sober. I can’t sleep because of insomnia. This really hit me where it needed to. This is the longest I’ve been sober in over ten years. Here’s to day 6 tomorrow.

[ryanmullins]

10 months no alcohol 16 days no weed and I’m going to keep going. I need my natural dopamine back, we all do.

“It’s not about stopping what you’re doing. It’s about starting something else that’s more fulfilling.”

Six needs:
- comfort/certainty
- variety
- significance (i.e. sense of purpose)
- connection & love
- personal growth
- contribute beyond ourselves

Importance of replacing bad habit with a healthier one

Stages before people transform their bad habits:
- satiation (repetition makes something not as satisfying)
- dissatisfaction (previous bad habit doesn't even feel good anymore)
- threshold (you're convinced it will continue not feeling good from now on)
- insight (the "truth", you realize you can make some lasting change)
- stepping through "the opening" (others can push you through, but you choosing to enter it yourself gives a better chance of long-lasting change)

Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

It's easy to keep a bad habit bc the reward is immediate and the consequences aren't. With good habits, the rewards aren't immediate.

[RippinPacksyou]

This is so true...Im a 22 year addict, but now 3 years sober on March 12....it's hard to break the routine, but can be done👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[TroskotSkot]

As a guy who stopped smoking 3, 5 years ago, the hardest and worst thing about stopping is the realization that cigarettes crawled themselves into so many nooks and crannies of your life. With coffee, after a meal, with a friend, smoking break, with a beer, when drinking, when sad, when angry, when happy etc. You just realize how much of your life is dictated by a tobacco stick. Not to mention the money you always find for cigarettes, but always don't have for healthy options in your life.

You have to distance yourself from the habit for an amount of time to realize just how much damage it does to you, because when you're in that "toxic relationship" with it, you can't comprehend it and that "illusion that you have it under control" is preventing you to accept that you have a problem and stop.

Great guest, Theo.

[jackadams]

Theo, you saved my life today. You ask the questions I wish others would ask to the high level coaches. Thank you my friend

[lukemsilver]

Tony is legit, they had a good back and forth in depth conversation.

[thedevilstrigoi...]

Theo is one of the most honest people online.

[hayes]

Theo is so in touch with himself that he helps me analyze my bad habits and behavior that I commit without thinking deeply about. It’s like a therapy session listening to him open up

[MrMickthemonster]

Tony Robbins is the only motivational speaker with anything real to say i really like him

[swirvin_]

Running really does change peoples lives. It allows people to reach a state of mind and be deep in their thoughts. It’s like therapy.

[Inziagold]

The desire to change has to be in the heart and mind. The mind can want all it wants but until the heart fills up with desire to change, it's an inner battle. Not demons, just a disagreement between the heart and mind.

[C.Fecteau-AU-MJ]

Man Tony hit me hard here.

I'm trying to get myself clean from a six year relationship with a woman who had a narcissistic personality disorder... I didn't realise at the time how she'd got me addicted to her, or rather I'd allowed myself to become addicted to her and neglected almost everything else in my life to get my fix from her.

I'll get through it, I'm learning to replace it with healthy things... but after six months of hindsight and working hard to keep her away from me, I can see I shouldn't be angry at her and the way she handled things (which was hysterical to say the least). She's mentally ill and has a much bigger challenge ahead than I do. I just hope she gets better some day, but I'm done with being responsible for that. Figuring that out helped A LOT and reminds me that even if we were bad for each other, there was love there.

[blainesgame]

This made me realize I was wrong about Tony Robbin’s, and I understand why people follow him now. Wise man.

[petejunior]

Just like how I got addicted to smoking weed everyday, I got addicted to exercising! You have to really try and reprogram your mind. Once you feel good from working out you’re gonna wanna feel it again, just like chasing a weed high but now instead your chasing the good feelings exercising gives you.

“Do you have variety when you run?”

“Yeah sometimes I’ll go around the track this way & sometimes I’ll go around the track this way”
