My ex was a functional alcoholic. He could go even a week without a drink but when he did drink it was to get drunk or he would go on benders. He was emotionally and sometimes physically abusive. It was a chaotic 4.5 rollercoaster until I completely lost myself & didn’t know who I was from all the abuse and back and forth emotions with him. After I finally left for good he used to hoover me back in by saying “Guess what I don’t drink during the week anymore.”. Without fail he would get drunk texts Tues, wed etc. He would say well so and so bought me a drink or I had a bad day etc Always an excuse. He rationalized because he works hard and has his own business it’s not a problem. After I got over the anger and blocked him for good I’ve come to realize he’s a very sick man. I also learned he had to save himself. No one else can do it for him.

If you don't mind me asking, what were you addicted to and what made you finally decide to get clean? I'm only asking cuz my son is on fentanyl, living on the streets and I THINK he's getting closer to wanting off the stuff, although everytime he almost goes to detox, the fear takes over and he doesn't do it. I'm just curious what made you decide you finally had enough?

Great content. My spouse made the decision to go sober from drinking 4 days ago after a Cirque du Soleil level crash/burn episode. He is usually super reluctant to watch any videos like these because the truth scares him too much. But this time he watched 5 and said they really resonated with him. I caught him watching them on his own too which was really promising. I had to leave for a few days to clear my own head and your videos really helped me get through that. I actually would fall asleep each night watching them so, thank you. My anxiety has been next level but your videos really help. Do you think you'll make a video that I can share with my 13yr old about understanding addiction, and why addicts act a certain way towards step kids? It's been a lot of rejection and poor role modeling from my partner towards my son then resentment when my kid has no respect for him. Then a back and forth resentment cycle between the two of them ensues. This has been since my son was 8yrs old. I teach compassion and empathy but my son doesn't understand the disease.

False beliefs: 1) I'm sick of (blank) always trying to control me. That just distracts you from fixing the thing that really controls you - your addiction. The addiction is the ultimate abuser and abusers want to make you and get you alone - alienate everyone in your life and you'll be all alone and the addiction has you all to itself which is what it wants. 2) I can fix this WITHOUT (xyz) - you want the easy way out and not take the big step you need to take. What's that one thing you're resisting that you're going to have to do? 3) somehow things will be different tomorrow, Monday, after Christmas, etc etc just like magic. There will never be a good time or convenient time. The longer it takes, the longer it takes. If you hike 7 miles into the woods you have to walk 7 miles out. 4) I can't because (xyz) - the excuse version. 'When was the last time you couldn't USE because of that reason - you could always find a way). Just like you had to work at your addiction, you have to work at your recovery. The difference is that work put into your recovery makes it easier. Work put into your addiction makes it harder. 6) that won't work because (xyz) - the "yeah buts" - are you being honest or just automatically saying no, etc? 7) you don't want to get sober - this means you fear something - what are you fearful and scared about stopping or that stopping will have to make you face or live and cope with? 8) it's just not fair - woe is me self pitying. Here's an antidote - why NOT you? Also, somewhere along the way, you DID make the choices all along the way that got you to this point. In order to recover, you've GOT to get honest with yourself. Basically what do want to put your time, energy and efforts into - your addiction or your sobriety? It's either one or the other. Only that sobriety WILL make it easier and life better. Addiction, just the opposite. Lets make a strategic decision to put the time energy and effort into sobriety instead of addiction.

Someone close to me needs to watch this - and a few of your other videos - but I’m sure she won’t, but would be angry with me if I shared them. I’m currently taking the blame for “trying to control” her and I hear the “I’ll never make you happy” comments regularly. She’s full of excuses. I’m done. It’s toxic and I won’t participate any more. Thanks for your sharing your wisdom Amber. While I can’t help my friend, your insight has helped me.

Amber, you are awesome.. so helpful giving me insight as my love one is addicted to alcohol...it's giving me a better perspective as to what she might be thinking in her head of not wanting to quick drinking. She's at the end stage of cirrhosis of the liver. She could have died from internal bleed, she ended up in the hospital for 4 days. The first thing she did once discharged from the hospital was to buy a pack of six apple cider.

Amber, I wonder if you can cover addictions for things one needs to quit but also still needs to do and use - like (some) social media, the internet, KZitem, watching shows, shopping / online shopping even, etc. I'm definitely starting to have a problem with KZitem and the internet but there are practical things I genuinely need to use those things for too. Maybe your points in all your other videos apply to these things as well. I guess I'm just wondering about the things one can't just quit 100% for practical and even for work reasons to some extent even though that's not for personal reasons / use.

What could you suggest for an addict that is stuck in a pitty party mode? 3 weeks clean & he’s struggling with the emotions whilst oxytocin and dopamine levels adjust. I’m worried his pitty party will be his downfall to relapse. 2 weeks until his rehab check in!

Amber, I’ve been reading the Grant Amato trial transcripts, searched for videos on Amato, and found you. I watched your Amato analysis and subscribed to your channel. I really appreciate your presentation. I understand English, but I have to use captions because your accent, whilst lovely, is foreign to me. Do you mind telling which region of the USA you are from? If not, that’s understandable.
