  If I had not already forgiven my mother, I would forgive her after watching this. She was trying to survive and thoughts of hurting me were not in her mind, she was suffering. May she rest in peace.

  The whole "They have to hit rock bottom" thing is predicated on the notion that addiction is a character flaw, a moral failing.  And unfortunately, that kind of old-think stills seems to dominate the rehab-recovery industry.  Its so refreshing to hear some more enlightened voices, like this gentleman here.

  Almost 3 months sober from alcohol, and this is the first time I've seen this extremely relevant and comprehensive video.  Thank you for this wisdom!

  The first part of the video, where he explains dopamine, is also truly helpful to understand ADHD and the "laziness" that comes with it. People with ADHD have a much lower baseline of dopamine than others, which makes every mundane task extremely difficult to do.

  The expression, “this man knows this to a science” really applies here. I am an addict. Understanding the science is the first step to mastering the problem. Well said Doctor Cory Waller

  I'm a substance addiction counselor and my clients have continually gained deep understanding from this video.  Thank you and please keep making these highly informative, shame-reducing presentations.

  Because of your video, I've received so much closure! I was able to apologize to someone for how I've treated them because of their addiction along with forgiving myself for being an addict. I'm grateful

  I work at a rehab, and one of my jobs is to teach classes. This video is a staple of every single cycle of my curriculum. It not only helps the addicts understand themselves better, but it gives them a way to verbalize what they go through to their friends and family in a way that helps them understand as well. Thank you for this.
