This Funny Reel Made Me Rethink Everything About Recovery
I saw this reel the other day — a group of guys in the mountains, probably from Pakistan or Turkey, just vibing and mimicking what they think American English sounds like. No real words. Just vibes. It was hilarious — but also kind of mind-blowing.
someone said, “That man was searching between AM and FM”😂
It hit me: we communicate vital things every day, but how it lands depends entirely on who’s listening, where they’re from, and what lens they’re using. What sounds totally normal to you might sound like absolute gibberish to someone else.
And that applies to recovery, too. If you’re struggling with substance use right now, imagine this:
You somehow run into your younger self — 10, maybe 15 years ago.
The you who didn’t know the pain yet. The one who still had curiosity in their eyes.
What would that version of you think?
Would they understand the pain you’re in now?
Would they try to save you from it?
Would they believe you’re worth saving?
Now flip it:
What advice would they give you?
Would they tell you to stop chasing the high?
To call your mom back?
To go to that meeting?
To choose something different — before it’s too late?
Perspective is everything. And sometimes, the clearest advice doesn’t come from doctors or therapists — it comes from a version of you who still believed.
