This is Part 2 of a two-part series on recovery with Russell Brand.
Very few of us are free from some form of addiction - alcohol, sugar, sleeping pills, sex, Instagram, co-dependent relationships, the list goes on. Russell points out that all our addictions stem from a common problem: spiritual disconnection. But when we admit we have a problem, believe in real change, accept help from others, and hand over our will and control to a higher power, we can begin to find freedom from our addictions.
Listen to the rest of this episode on the Commune Podcast with Jeff Krasno. To hear more from Russell, sign up for his upcoming Recovery course on Commune (onecommune.com/recovery) or check out his Luminary podcast, Under the Skin (luminary.link/russell @hearluminary).
ABOUT RUSSELL
Russell Brand is an award-winning comedian, actor, author, public thought leader and a passionate activist for mental health and drug rehabilitation. He is one of the most recognizable and best-loved comedy performers in the world, with a series of sold-out tours, best-selling DVDs, and a number of major film roles to his name. He is also the author of seven books, including Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, and Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped.
ABOUT JEFF
I have had a lot of jobs: co-founder & CEO of Commune, co-founder and co-CEO of Wanderlust, board member at Pure Edge. I have authored of a couple of books, built a big wellness studio, developed a retreat center, brokered large-scale brand partnerships and created VOD platforms. Oprah even selected me to be part of the SuperSoul 100, a group of 100 top entrepreneurs.
Aside from being a dad to 3 horrible-adorable daughters, there is no job more humbling than hosting the Commune podcast. Every week, I interview people with esoteric expertise who are 10 times smarter than me. My nightstand turned into a tower of books as I cram for these interviews, learning everything from the fundamental nature of reality to the neuro-chemistry of the brain. It’s been an incredible challenge to deliver transformational content every Tuesday (and not embarrass myself). I hope you enjoy it!
ABOUT THE COMMUNE PODCAST
Hosted by Jeff Krasno, the Commune podcast features thoughtful conversations for modern times. Not always comfortable but definitely needed, we explore both humanity and our human-ness. How can we live healthy, purpose-filled lives and be in service of something bigger? Guests include spiritual teachers, poets, scientists, philosophers, and activists for food sustainability, functional medicine, mental and physical health, and collective healing.

As someone with 20 years of hardcore substance abuse I've finally seeked out help, therapy and came out to my family about needing help/genuinely wanting to stop for the first time. Almost 2 weeks clean now which is huge for me. Thanks for sharing this 🤙great convo!

@@OneCommune I appreciate it my homie. I was doin coke and speed at age 14 graduated to heavy opiates. Been clean of the hard stuff for years but i had been struggling really hard with the bottle and kratom the last few years. It feels good to feel more normal. Only stuff i take is caffeine and kava nowadays and im feeling so much better already. I feel much more accountable having spoken up and being dead serious about my addiction. Ive been arrested, gotten a dui, been in fights, been a borderline abusive jerk...enough is enough. Im nice and very productive normally until the bottle touched my lips.

I’ll have a year on March 25th. I’ve lost so many good, good friends to addiction! I feel like I’ve made it out somewhat intact. I’ve taken the steps, made use of therapy, and immersed myself in a fellowship of recovery. I live in a recovery house (Oxford-there’s probably one near you). I’m learning how to live without shame. I just hope that you never ever give up on yourself, that you never stop trying. We can make it through this day

I just woke up this morning (shall I just leave it there?) and thought, my life is fucked and is damaging, not only to me but those around me through addiction and unfulfilling activities. A lot of what that Russell Brand character guy says really resonates with me. I was a good person once, and can be again maybe? I'll watch some of his stuff as he's clearly spent a lot of time experiencing similar shit to me. Well, here I am and thanks. I think I might try and enlighten myself. I'm not at all academic but I understood every word of this conversation, and all of it makes sense.

Greg Smith it’s impossible to get clean alone. As Russell has said previously, his best thinking got him to the state of rock bottom. Drug taking is a symptom of a spiritual malady. The 12 step programme offers a solution and the fellowship of NA or AA offers a wealth of support and guidance on tap, all free. I wish you well 🙏❣️

The two of you are beautiful together. It's also interesting to me to see that when speaking with Jeff, who speaks slowly and calmly, Russell appears to speak in a manner that is slower and calmer than his usual self. This is actually wonderful for those listening to the conversation because Russell is a brilliant man with with incredible knowledge and facility of expression, but not everyone can process the information as quickly as he delivers it. And some of the information can therefore be missed on the part of the listeners. I don't know if Russell is making a conscious effort to speak calmly and more slowly but I can definitely say that when speaking with Jeff, this side of Russell comes out. Thank you both for your wonderful work and God bless! You are both beautiful in all possible ways!

@16:40 The interviewer Jeff made an EXCELLENT point about applying the 12 steps to a country and using step 5 to be accountable for the harm caused by that country. Brilliant! Unfortunately, I think Russell missed the opportunity to explore what he brought up, and instead went on an adjacent point for whatever reason. I was truly surprised because I really admire and agree with 95% of what Russell says. Oh well, at least Jeff brought it up. If you read this comment, please consider your country's need for atonement in order to truly resolve the spiritual/emotional/psychological issues it has that are probably the symptoms of not addressing those imperialist/colonial/capitalist wounds.

Thank you Russell Brand. 4 days completely clean and sober since about 10 years old. I am 69. In a wonderful 24/7 AA women's group with women all of the world. Have a great sponsor who I promised I would push a peanut up a hill with my nose if she asked me too. Meant that. Call her every day and we are working the steps. I, of course, still love your politics, your meditations, well everything about you. We are very similar in many ways. I have been famous for a minute, on the front page, and of course not for good behavior. Ha! Respect you, adore you. I'm a lesbian, have no teeth etc. but would shamefully throw myself at you if I close enough to it. Thank you for e3verything!

The caveat (asterisk) with these kind, wise and generous videos, is that most people who suffer from addiction aren't rich, handsome, charismatic celebrities who can start on the road to recovery by spending three months in a luxury rehabilitation facility receiving daily therapy and quietly contemplating their beautiful surroundings like Thoreau at Waldon pond.
