This video should be mandatory for all health care workers

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.

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

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.

Thanks for this very sensible and warm stance on the topic. Exactly what is needed within the discourse on dependence and the way we act upon it politically and culturally.

I absolutely love this video and I think everyone should watch it so they can understand what addiction is about and why it's so hard for addicts to not use.
