This show its nice to see people relate but its not the answer everyone is different we all need help one way or the other anyone who says different is Perfect. I have been a drug addict for 23 years and I will be for the rest of my life. I just choose not to get high today. Is what I have been telling myself for the past year and a half.

You need help neil. You make me want to relapse from having to listen to your shit over and over. You claim to be a treatment counsilor AMD work the program. But you go against everything they teach in the program with almost every comment you leave. You sound so knowledgeable with your two one liners. I'll tell you with the experience you claim to have you sound completely opposite then someone who truly lives what you pretend to be for attention. Your to busy trying to run someone else program or sound like Mr knowitall. Not once did you offer any helpful advice which is what someone who truly does what you claim would do. I am in a program right now that 250 people just spent an hour and a half discussing your actions on this website as we have been following it in one of our campus groups and discussions. And of the 9 licensed professionals running this group not one of them commends anything you say. They use is as an example on how not to act in a program. Stop working so hard on your 13 step neil clearly you can see your doing more damage then good on here and you get excitement out of it. And then people who say what you are pretending to know how to say you chime in going that's what I have been trying to say.

Methadone saved my life as well as I can't stand the stigma around methadone and the clinics! It pisses me off because if society would take this shit seriously and end the methadone stigma, mad lives would be saved if the stigma would be erased. The methadone clinics work if you work them! Don't make friends (cuz NoONE IS YOUR FRIEND there or on the streets), keep your head down do your iop groups get your dose and get the f*ck out!

You're acting like someone fully obsessed: sitting at their keyboard, smoking meth and just waiting for ANYONE to make a post here so you can ramble word salad and cliché platitudes at them. And trust me, the "at them" is the major thing here because you don't sound like you're willing to listen or understand, you only want to talk about yourself and be the center of attention. You're not willing to entertain the idea that different things are going to work for different people and only they know what makes them feel complete when they're not using. You say you're experienced in the life of both active addiction and rehabilitation but your posts remind me of someone who's newly 30 days sober and just can't wait to tell anyone with eyes and ears about how you've got it all figured out and if someone's struggling, you'll figure out their life for them as well. Your dedication COULD be admirable but it isn't. No one cares about how knowledgeable you are when you come off so grating and holier than thou with your messiah complex, telling people there's only ONE WAY to get sober and it's NEIL'S WAY. If you truly knew as much as you say you do, then you would know the quickest way to get someone to shut down and ignore anything you have to say from that point on is to forceful is this uniquely annoying way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676550240235939148.post-90625531180634979112018-11-15T14:39:52.949-08:002018-11-15T14:39:52.949-08:00PLEASE DELETE ALL POSTS MADE BY "NEIL GUTTENB...PLEASE DELETE ALL POSTS MADE BY "NEIL GUTTENBERG." His comments are bringing down everything the show, Frankie, and Allie are doing. CJ Gronner, you have helped shed light on a complex and catastrophic problem in our nation. I'm not sure what it is you do behind the scenes, but your passion and dedication is reflected by the quality of every episode. I very much hope there is at least one more season of Dope Sick Nation, and that you three ANGELS are again involved. Before watching the show, I'd never taken the "addiction is a disease" thing that seriously. I always saw it as a junkie's way of ducking accountability for their actions. But now I look at these drug addicts as I would a cancer patient, with less judgement and more compassion. That's a big deal.

It’s not my fault that you still haven’t made a commitment to getting and staying clean. When i was new I didn’t tell people who had 30 or 30 years of recovery how to recover.
