1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: And welcome back to George Norry along with doctor Donna Marx.

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 2: Our books are called Healing, Moment, Exit Amaze. You've got

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: a live Facebook program you're working on, Donna, don't you.

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 3: Yes, we are going to be launching on a course

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: live on Facebook, a three day challenge to help people

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: embrace their miracle moment or their New Year's resolution, however

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: you want to look at that. And we also are

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: going to be offering an online course for people who

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 3: want to stop a particular behavior or start a new one.

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 3: So we are here to help and support people who

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: are ready and willing to transform themselves.

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: What are some of the great points for people to

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: keep their resolutions?

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, make sure that you're ready to

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: do it and to be committed. That's the biggie. And

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: as I said earlier, to make sure that you're specific

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: about what you're going to do. You can't just say

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: you want to save money. How much money do you

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: want to save every week? And where are you going

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: to put that money? So it's not easily accessible and

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: you can just justify spending it. So you have to

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: really have a concrete plan, don't get distracted. It's so

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 3: easy to listen to that part of the mind that says, oh,

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: I don't really feel like doing that this week or today,

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: I'll do it tomorrow, I'll do it later. That is

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 3: a killer because it will not work. You have to

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 3: do it now. You know that expression do it now.

29
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: Don't even listen to the part of the mind that says,

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: do it later. Later doesn't exist. We don't know that

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: we even have it later. So doing it now is

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: very important. And then getting support. If your family isn't

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: going to support you, find people that will so that

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: you can stay on track. And the biggest thing, the

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: real biggie, is that you have to be willing to

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: be uncomfortable. Whenever you make a big behavior change, you

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: get uncomfortable just thinking about doing that thing, but there's

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 3: no growth in staying the same. You have to be

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: willing to be uncomfortable to experience the miracles that come

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: from these New Year's resolutions, or any type of resolution

41
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 3: anytime in your life. It's not comfortable to change. It's

42
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: not comfortable to feel like you're giving up something that

43
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: you like doing, even if it's not good for you.

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: So when you're willing to be uncomfortable, you've taken your

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: power back. And that's really the key here is that

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 3: you're willing to have your whole self, all of yourself,

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: and your brain, which is your command center, is now

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: under your control instead of something else that's not good

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: for you.

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: Donal Why is it easier for some people to change

51
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: and to commit and others have a difficult time doing that?

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: Well, some people enjoy growing. Some people really get excited

53
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: with making us kind into changes and they like, this

54
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: is what happens. Most people do not understand what self

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: love means. So once you start saying, once you start

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: claiming your power and you claim that you're going to

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: make some changes and then you succeed, you feel better

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: and better and better about yourself, and that builds an

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: internal momentum that makes you unstoppable. So you have more energy,

60
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: You feel positive, you feel connected, You go out into

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: the world on fire like you are. George. I hear

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: it in your voice on your show and you're just

63
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: doing your thing and you're bringing in all these amazing subjects.

64
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: So people that are embracing that life never stays the same.

65
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: And I want to keep growing and changing. They do

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: much better than someone who's like, no, no, no, that's

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: not comfortable for me. Yeah, maybe that kind of thing,

68
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: and the negativity, the fear based people, the people that

69
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: live in fear, they aren't willing to be uncomfortable. They

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: aren't willing to step out of what they're doing all

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: the time. They're in patterns. They're comfortable enough, and so

72
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: they settle for less and they never really achieve that

73
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: level of self love that makes life a wonderful, exciting,

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: fiery turned on experience.

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: You're on with me in April of twenty twenty three

76
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: talking about your book Healing Moment. But tell us again

77
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: about that title, Healing Moment. What does that mean.

78
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: It's when the light bulb goes off in the mind.

79
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: It's when you are thinking something's not right here, or

80
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: something terrible has happened to you. Maybe you're going through

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: a divorce, or maybe you had an accident, or maybe

82
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: you lost your job, or you had a bad breakup,

83
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: and the light bulb goes off and you see something

84
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: totally different than rather than seeing it from a place

85
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: of fear and sorrow and grief. This amazing insight comes

86
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: to you that you're going to do something with this

87
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: and it's going to turn into a miracle. And that's

88
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: the healing moment where instead of being a victim of

89
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 3: whatever happened, you become empowered and find meaning and purpose

90
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: in what happened and turn that into the miracle. It's

91
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: all about learning how to love yourself, how to love

92
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: other people. That's the only reason we're here.

93
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: You find that most people can make these things happen

94
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: by themselves or do they need this outside help?

95
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: Well, I think that the biggest support is internally and

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: then that need and then we need reinforcement from outside

97
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: because when we are trying to since we're talking about

98
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 3: New Year's resolutions, if someone's been smoking cigarettes for thirty years,

99
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: they need support. Very few people can just make just

100
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: swear off a habit and feed. Maybe one and ten

101
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: million people can do that. Those are not very good odds.

102
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: Plus the fact that it's so much it's pleasant to

103
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: have a support system and to have encouragement and the

104
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: add of boys and you're doing this and that's great,

105
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: and to be able to talk about those challenges emotionally

106
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: from change, so that when we talk about being uncomfortable,

107
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 3: you don't have to be uncomfortable because when you share

108
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: that discomfort with other people who've gone through That's why

109
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: twelve step programs are so powerful. You have the support

110
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: of people who are on the other side of the discomfort,

111
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: and you're seeing their joy and happiness, so you know

112
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: that you can have that too. So internally, to listen

113
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: to that little voice that says you can do this,

114
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: and you have that light bulb moment and you have

115
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: that breakthrough, and then take that and go get the

116
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: support that you need to be able to maintain that miracle.

117
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: What creates an addiction, Donna, Well.

118
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: That's a very good question, and I think that it's

119
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: created externally. I believe that it's nobody's fault as they've

120
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 3: become addicted. The first time I slept a cigarette, I

121
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: couldn't wait to smut finish the whole pack. I mean,

122
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: it was just unbelievable. Things are made to get us addicted.

123
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: It's intentional. People study behavior, they study the brain, and

124
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: then they invent things in order to get people addicted.

125
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: Whether it's cigarettes, whether it's alcohol, whether it's pornography, whether anything.

126
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: Sugar is like crack cocaine in the brain, we now know,

127
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: and then they refine it now and high fre those

128
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: corn SUPs, so it becomes more and more addictive. So

129
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: what happens is the brain wants more the minute that

130
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: the person's exposed to whatever they become addicted to, and

131
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: then then they truly are a victim of what happened

132
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: to them. I want people to take back their power

133
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: and control. If we never start these things to begin with,

134
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: and we won't ever become addicted. But now we've got

135
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: a whole new movement in addiction that's telling everybody that, oh,

136
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 3: do you have a brain disorder and you've been born

137
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: this way? Well, I think that we do develop a

138
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: brain disorder. I certainly developed a brain disorder from torturing

139
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: my brain with substances and alcohol and nicotine and all.

140
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: It became disordered. But it's perfectly fine now that I'm

141
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: abstinate and that I'm healthy, so I don't need to

142
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: take more drugs to deal with the drugs. It just

143
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: makes no sense at all. So many mental health disorders

144
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: are diagnosed prematurely, and people are put on drugs that

145
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: alter their moods forever change their moods. And I'm not

146
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: anti medication. There are people who need medication, but it's

147
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: way over prescribed, and we have become a very addicted society.

148
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: And I think that it's time that we begin to

149
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 3: raise our children, to teach them to love their brains,

150
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: to love their lungs, to love their hearts, to love themselves,

151
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: and to know how to eat healthy and how to

152
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: play outside, and how to talk about their feelings in

153
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: healthy ways and not act them out. It's really easy

154
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 3: to raise healthy children. It just takes a little bit

155
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: of effort to teach children that they deserve to treat

156
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: themselves with love and to be loved. And so once

157
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: we have that kind of consciousness, we don't really want

158
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: to put poison in our bodies. We don't really want

159
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: to damage ourselves, we don't really want to disease our brains.

160
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: We want to feel good about ourselves. And so that's

161
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: what I really teach people when they come to see

162
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: me and they have call it bad habits or addictions,

163
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: I don't care what you call it. They had behaviors

164
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: that aren't serving them, are making them unhealthy mentally or physically,

165
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: and they want to change. And so those people that

166
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: I work with are willing to be uncomfortable and go

167
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: through those steps that will help them to be free

168
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: and reclaim their power and learn how to replace those

169
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: behaviors with self love.

170
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: Last week I had Howard Reebeck on he's an expert

171
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: on addictions to gambling. Is there a difference between an

172
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: addiction to a physical thing like a drug or an

173
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: alcohol as opposed to something that's more emotional.

174
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: Well, it's all emotional, and it's all giving me that

175
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: same hit, that dopamine hit, that adrenaline, and not charge,

176
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: So it doesn't matter what it is. Gambling has become

177
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: a really serious problem. Pornography and gambling are really at

178
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: the top of the list right now. Sex addiction as well,

179
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: because people since the book Fifty Shades of Grade Tea

180
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: were coming more and more into more and more things

181
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: to get more and more turned on, and course, just

182
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: like any addiction, the more you do, the more you need.

183
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: Pornography has become for young men, a very very serious issue.

184
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of young men in my office

185
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: that cannot sustain a relationship with a partner because they've

186
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 3: become so addicted to pooring that they it's almost impossible

187
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: to learn how to have healthy intimacy and gambling. Because

188
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: of the phones and the laptops and the iPads, and

189
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: that it's so accessible, people are just simply become addicted.

190
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Then they get financially in trouble before they ever even

191
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 3: realize it, and so then they get that cycle. I'll

192
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: gamble my way out of it. That's like drinking your

193
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: way out of alcoholism. It just doesn't happen.

194
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Does the addiction somehow start when you're a kid, Now,

195
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: not necessarily pornography or anything like that, but something within

196
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: the human body to create the addiction.

197
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: Well, that's the current theory is that children are born

198
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: with this brain disease. But I don't believe that there's

199
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 3: hundreds of millions people with addictions. So I don't believe

200
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: that the babies are born with that many babies are

201
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: born with brain diseases. I think that there is a

202
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: genetic factor that if you have addiction and your family

203
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 3: you are probably more likely to develop an addiction. But

204
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: there's no gene that says you have to smoke, you

205
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: have to drink, you have to watch porn or gamble.

206
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: There's no gene that dictates that you ever start doing that.

207
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: That's why we need to raise our consciousness to a

208
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: whole new level. Maybe some of these aliens that are

209
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: coming here are trying to deliver that message to us

210
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: that we need to start loving ourselves instead of medicating

211
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 3: ourselves so much and really take our power back.

212
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 2: Are the parents responsible for this?

213
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: Well? The family environment has a lot to do with

214
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: a child's mental health, of course, and so when children's

215
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: needs aren't met, if they aren't held, nurtured, fed, cuddled,

216
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: affirm that they're wonderful and fantastic, and given structure and discipline,

217
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: then they do not understand self love because they didn't

218
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: at it from the person who's supposed to love them. So, yes,

219
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: there is there is a role there. But it's not

220
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: like parents intentionally want to go have babies so that

221
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: they can turn them into addicts. It's just that as

222
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: a society we are evolving and understanding the factors of

223
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 3: raising a mentally healthy child. I was recently speaking at

224
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: a for a group and they were talking about children

225
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: and what children need to do, and what I finally said,

226
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: I can't take it anymore. It's not what the children

227
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: need to do. The parents need to be the healthiest

228
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 3: version of themselves so that they can raise healthy children.

229
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: You can't just expect the children to be healthy while

230
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,359
Speaker 3: you're doing all kinds of unhealthy things around them.

231
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: I was born in Detroit, so I'm a Detroit fan

232
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: for sports, and my son was born in Saint Louis,

233
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: but I taught him to like the Detroit teams and

234
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 2: loves and he loves them.

235
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: Well.

236
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 2: He's got a thirteen year old daughter, my granddaughter, Charlotte.

237
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: We call her Charlie. He's got her turned on with

238
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions football team, and so every Sunday when

239
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: the Lions are playing, she'll watch the game. She'll put

240
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: her Detroit Lions jersey on her hat. She'll be at

241
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: home sharing, sending me text measures Papa, Papa, they're winning, Papa,

242
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: they lost. They're playing pretty well this year.

243
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: By the way.

244
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: But I mean, is that an addiction? What would you

245
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: call that?

246
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: I think that's a wonderful family tradition, and family traditions

247
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: are important. She's not out smoking weed with her girlfriends.

248
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: She's at home with her family. She has an interest

249
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: and she's sharing that with you and her father, and

250
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: that is a wonderful, enthusiastic, passionate moment for her. To

251
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: be able to do.

252
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: That, But is it an addiction.

253
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: I would not call that an addiction. Addiction is something

254
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: that you continue to do despite harm to yourself or others.

255
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm not hearing any harm in what you just said

256
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: describe to herself for others. I'm hearing sharing a loving

257
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: experience and exciting time which is going to be in

258
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: her consciousness and in her template and will and fill

259
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: her heart with warmth and joy the rest of her

260
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: life when she thinks back on those moments.
