Ughhhh this portion spoke to me a lot. I had my first real drug craving on Monday night and it kicked my ass. I felt so sad and hopeless.

I am having a really hard time working the NA program and I need to get a sponser ASAP. I want the beautiful life that they talk about. I want to stop puking and hating my body.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Hugs, I want to say I'm so sorry but now that I think about it - sorry isn't the best word, it just implies sickness, I think PROUD is more like it. I am so proud of you, why? because you are aware, acknowledge and ARE actively SEEKING help. Horray. Listen baby doll, the best way to get a sponser is to use that riot voice and fully sseert in meetings that you need one. Also, write it on the phone list "NEED SPONSER!" Have you done either of these 2 things before?

[mcehoffman]

Tonight at the meeting I am going to throw it out there, I think.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Good for you. How many NA meetings do you attend a week?

[tsavina]

I stopped counting after 5.... lol

I have addictive genes and although I kicked booze and a 9 year stint with Oxycontin and Oxycodone on my own....

The damn cigarrettes have me in a 35 year stranglehold that I can't kick. Even after loosing half a lung the bastard's still have me..

Hugs!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

1. Celebrate your nine year sobriety, that is amazing work. 2. If you can kick that, you can kick anything. Don't give up hope, give up control (when you are ready to do this, I understand it's not that easy - I'm just punching logic into the paragraph) HUGS. I am so proud of all your progress.

Although I've watched these videos before and all of your others..I decided the time was right for me to do this test. It came out that I checked nearly all of those boxes. I'm glad you made this video because it is being blunt and getting to the point at which showing the addicts there IS something wrong. Thank you Johnny..once again <3

[jdpasino]

this is so insightful thanks so muc johnny!

[MrTsBastardChild]

Wow, how insightful this was! I have been trying to quit binging and purging, but I fail because I am apparently full of excuses! This is crazy, but you are pretty awesome.

[MrTsBastardChild]

I used to go to NA. It was great. It helped me in all aspects of my life. Keep it up!

[miya76]

16! lol well i had 4 eating disorders and self injury 2 count for. mostly counting self injury cuz the ED's r more minor problems. they havent quite devolped enough yet, except 4 just 1 that i have been battle all my life. anyway ya self injury is huge 4 me i guess. i don't think i do it enough and i dont want 2 stop and i dont see a problem with it so idk wat 2 do and if i really need help. its true i would have died without it cuz it releases suicidal feelings that would have become attempts

[BloodyThriller]

Wow I didn't know I had that many excuses, Well out of that list.

I had 15 of the *Insert number of excuses here*

Good job on the video! Hah love the Hello Kitty pad!

[peppernme]

If I started, then I can stop too? Logic says yes, of course, but I lack the action/ change part. As you know, I've been waiting too long for this to "go away."

[Limabean120]

i got a lot out of listening to what the "addiction" vs. "logic" were saying. i realized I listen to the "addiction" more than I thought. the list was eye opening for me. thx for posting this! much luv <333

[boondoggle89]

strange how i can listen to these excuses, in full context with your vids and still go along with my excuses...

what you are saying is getting through to me though!! im calling them excuses for a start lol. amazing vids
