Jack is one of the BEST!!!!

Type 2 diabetes is a choice brought on by bad diet choices but that's still considered a disease. Calling addiction a disease isn't saying there was no choice, it's saying that it's more than just choice. It's a combination of genetic factors, environment, trauma and choice. Nothing is ever absolute. We aren't robots, but we are guided by whatever capacity our brain has to function.

Also, in my experience the only"test" for addiction was a short questionnaire given by some office person at a detox facility about past use history and they just look at the numbers you put. Thats some diagnosis right there. I love how there were no doctors and there was no actual test ran on my brain. Then i get whisked off to rehab and get told how much of a disease I have, and that if i disagree with that, or any of the 12 step dogma, well, im just trying to poke holes and be too critical. Fascinating.

Bullshit. If people didn't have a choice to stop, then nobody would ever stop. But they do. Whether they go about it through rehab, or by themselves, or family or whatever it is, a choice is made at some point. Whether one gets some help, or the method of help, it doesn't matter. There is still a choice made that, I want to stop, I'm going to do what is necessary in order to make that happen. Shame on this presenter for saying otherwise. But it doesn't surprise me because he's speaking at a rehab and I guess it's good for business if they push the disease and powerless model.

Usually they don't want treatment. The person with BC does.. are we supposed to strap them down and drag them to rehab? People have their own problems and are barely surviving themselves. No one has a life time to commit to addicts and fixing them.

This is my brother! I watched him and lived with him through his recovery. His recovery is beyond anything “I” believed would happen. I prayed for him, I ENABLED him and I cussed him out. None of that worked. It was one of THE MOST horrible things I ever witnessed. BUT…he finally got it. He was blessed with an incredible mind and loads of compassion. Look at him now. He not only understands the science, he has lived the process! Please hear him and if you have to watch this over and over? Do it as many times as need be! Love you Jack. ❤

Excellent lecture! What about the power of spirituallity...? Can it help with addictions?

Very informative!

Mass production of tobacco started in america in the 1920s.

60 percent of people are gonna die because they smoke cigarettes

I will make more money in chemical engineering if I lose weight.

I will make more money in chemical engineering if I quit vaping.

If there was hope for the future and we could successfully deal with childhood trauma addiction wouldn’t be a problem

Promo-SM

This is not a disease for any other reason than for funding purposes

I"m not sure why he's boasting about having "gotten his brother" with a dart gun as a child! as someone currently considering The Ridge, that comment is a real turn-off.

Momma said my brain was in between her legs momma oiled my head up and pushed my head up to my neck inside of her it was hot and wet in there milk gushed out i could not breath

Some of the most sucessful and rich individyals ever used drugs

There ia nothing nor special about drug use.Onoy the americabs wanted to bann something as natural and normal asdrug use.Humana uaed drugs since dawn of 5heir existence and whole cultures were based in it U should teach responsible drug use rather than banning everythint

this is very good

I've been in 9 different treatment centers and none of them ever went this deep into how the brain changes in addiction. This is great stuff.

Brilliant

Hot hot hot hot hot hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This video has been a most eye-opening lecture series.

Thanks a lot

Fantastic

Look, my understanding of neurophysiological A&P leaves much to be desired. With that said, can't the brain use ketones as an energy source as well; hence, what is claimed to be a cognitive enhancement, such as ketosis? Or are ketones assisting glucose and not replacing it?

This is absolutely invaluable. What a tremendous resource, and what a gifted lecturer Dr. Carran is. I have learned so much.

You usually grow out of Mary Jane. When you hit 40 you're tired all the time and you end up not wanting to be tireder. (I understand that's not a word). Especially the longer you smoke cigarettes the more mj hurts your lungs and throat. You can only handle 1. Usually cigs are the keeper because you've been doing it longer and it's almost impossible to quit.

It is astounding that professors are lecturing opinion as fact. His logic is flawed at a glance. He talks in scientific terms and mixes legitimate neuro-anatomical terms in, but his premise is incorrect.

Right off the bat-- his first point is wrong. You do have a choice. The disease concept is useful and it clearly is correct to borrow from the medical model, but it doesn't tell the whole story. I wish he were right but he's wrong. His first criterion for meeting the disease definition falls short of the mark. It's not the substance or process that causes abnormality-- it's the patient's personal choice. If you extend his logic to guns: people don't kill people, guns kill people. People must exercise personal choice to become addicted and people must exercise personal choice to recover. Don't confuse the difficulty in exercising personal choice with the inability to do so.

Excellent talk Dr Carran I'm Dr Aamir Mirza a recovering addict from Pakistan

I imagine a ton of people who didn't feel comfortable with themselves don't have addiction. People with addiction don't realize the people who don't have addiction feel this way also. I don't really agree with this premise that people without addiction are comfortable with themselves or feel better or any of that.

This series and information has been very helpful. That this quality content is available for free blows my mind. I genuinely thank the poster for making this series available. It’s been more helpful than I care to detail here. But, needless-to-say; It’s been a huge help in my personal life. Thank you!

run that math by me again...?

I have been off cigarettes for 16 years and I agree with everything you say. Even now 16 years on, I am suffering from COPD, which limits my exercise ability and is a damn nuisance. Since you are an obvious life-long non-smoker, I would like to suggest some points that you might want to bring up in future presentations. No one forced us to smoke. We LIKED it. The nicotine rush is all good. It clears your mind, focuses your concentratiion, and is a great cure for sleep deprivatiuon. The problem is that it is accompanied by pure smoke, and I don't have to explain that drawback to you. Alas, cigarette smoke DOES taste good and does NOT smell bad - unless you are a non-smoker.You'll hate me for saying this, but it was a pleasure. Whenever I felt bad, Marlboro Red was by my side, and he was good company. I think you should bring up in your talks that the end of smoking was not that the smokers were against it, but that all the OTHER people hated it. When I began, in my youth, it was a socially acceptable thing and we all did it. To hell with the Surgeon General. What broke us was the girls who wouldn't go near us, the jobs where we couldn't smoke, the armed forces making it practically illegal, and the whole society beating us up for it in general. In short, it simply stopped being cool. I think when you list all the things that decimated cigarettes, you missed the most important point: It was the the ENVIRONMENT that squashed the habit. Not the tree huggers, the social environment. I bet if you have the data, you'll find something interesting. Hard liquor has gone out of style; wine is the new alcohol. To me (old guy) wine was for girls and I could finish a bottle in one dinner. I went for the hard stuff (I still do, but I've paid for it.) Please give it a passing thought that the cure for alcohol is not therapy, but society. Intoxicants are stupid, and we have to get that word out. Thanks for a good presentation. Please feel free to re-publish this as you please, though 'll withold my last names. All my friends are going to know who I am anyway. 1.

Have been working on my issues for years. This was the clearest, most articulate presentation I've ever heard. Finally, I've gotten the whole story. Thanks, and try to teach someone else your talent for lecturing before you retire.

Again…thanks for sharing ✌️

Outstanding presentation…learning and growing I am. Thanks for sharing ✌️

Hello everyone, I’m here to share my great testimony on how I got cured off my HSV2 with the natural herbal medication I ordered from Dr Igudia on his UA-cam channel

Excellent series. Each lecture was very educational. Thanks for sharing, and I hope it helps many.

Large group, maybe a majority, die during a relapse. It would be interesting to study the brains of those who must interact closely with addicts: family, lovers, roommates. Our brains work together. Dealing with addicts is stressful and there is no chemical there to lessen the effects. Exercise is one key to recovery, not just in the gym, but everywhere, however in my experience addicts never want to exercise.

It's pretty optimistic to believe the majority of your clients will die of a tobacco-related disorder. With substance abuse recovering rates being alarmingly low, it's much more likely their drug of choice will be the cause of their demise. That's why tobacco lectures in treatment centers usually fall on deaf ears.

While I love this explanation, for those who aren't addicted and don't understand it... this has made it harder for me to stop using. I'm no longer sure if I am making the choice to relapse. I don't know if I'm choosing to use and using this fact as an excuse to justify my using, or if I truly don't have a choice.

Thanks for all your work , this videos are helping me to understand what is going on my body , I quite smoking tabaco few days a go and I will not smoke ever again.

How do we set up an intervention

I will watch your video every day until I am totally done with smoking

Simply excellent job thank you

i knew about this. my rehab gave us lots of lectures on it. being now 20 years clean I am forced to attend zoom meetings and I am astonished by the amount of addicts vaping, simply substituting one drug for another. that is not being clean, smoking is a mood-altering substance and used to hide real feelings. the opposite of the 12 step program. SAD.

My mother and father were addicts' all my life, so I have been dealing with addiction issues since the age of 10 years old. It is very hard to accept this disease. I had to learn how to deal with a person stuffing from this illness. This disease ripped my family apart for two generations. I am thankful for the one to be able to break an ugly cycle in my family.
