Listen to Dr. Gabor Mate speak about addiction. There is a good interview on the Tim Ferriss podcast #298.
His premise is addiction is a coping mechanism to alleviate pain. Recognizing and facing the thing(s) you are numbing yourself from can be quite painful at first, but is one way to find some peace.

This is the money right here. *** Recognizing and facing the things you are numbing yourself from is the key to healing and peace. ***

Every morning! Day doesn’t start until the workout is complete. Heavy deadlifts and squats this morning. Trying to get to 405 deadlift before end of year.

Chris, did you look up AA or NA meeting times and places?
Chris cares or he would ghost us. Trust me, here is a good place for him to check in. Keep coming back Chris, we check in everyday to hear you. You know why? We freakin well care, if I was closer I would give you a hug, and take you rec climbing with some bling. Bigb spreading white oak or a large ass Sycamore.

@climbingmonkey24 dude, you do care. And we do too, if your looking for me to fly out and pack you up as carry on luggage sorry mate..
If we were in the same city you’d already recognize the sound of my knock on your door.
Circumstances suck, my life is upside down at the moment. My own personal drama, and huge risk taking because I have my back to a wall. I’m seriously dealing with a fucked position and taking a 50-85 grand risk. Let alone the use of my right hand. Don’t let this fool you, it’s not mobster/gangster shit, however the end results are the same plus having no idea how to keep a roof over my wife and kids heads. But do know it’s not a exaggeration in the least. I’m still taking the time to check up on you, and your still taking the time to post here and more so on your thread.
I know you care and seriously you need to see this thread and whole fucken subject as you caring too. We have chatted a little and I’m more than happy for more. It tells me you do care. BUT please if I don’t take the time to respond think for a second it’s because someone out there isn’t thinking of you. Just got a hot steaming pile of shit on my plate, but still thinking of you at the same time even if I’m a little slow to get back.

Comfortable to share the situation evo? Totally get it if not, easier to post some stuff for whomever to read but not everything. Sending good thoughts your way.

I will soon. It’s complex and requires some context that is a bit to write about.
It’s just one of those potential ‘perfect storm’ situations. I also don’t want to make this thread about my current situation and keep it on focus.
Will share soon though.

Some Sunday afternoon thoughts.
One day, one hour, one minute at a time. That’s all we can do. Find the source of motivation that keeps the fire within you burning and harness it and hold on for dear life. At times it may feel like all is lost, but you have to hold onto that WHY and that thing that keeps the fire burning

What does that mean? You're going to bed at 10?
Whatever you're struggling with, many here have offered you their love. We've given time, heartfelt responses and listening ears.
I hope you find the chance to trust another person and share what is eating you up. Mr Rogers really was right, if you can talk about something you can manage it

A milestone maybe? 1 week of healthy living?

Seems like upside-down is a way of life these days, I keep smiling most of the time but similar here. In every day there is hope, it is tough though to endure heavy challenges ongoing. It makes us more like every other living thing on the planet, the fight is real and yet trying to maintain equilibrium at the same time. At any rate I (and I'm sure "we") hear you.
