Addiciones y espiritualidad, mi historia | Luis Iberri | TEDxAvDivDelNorte


to be able to talk about addictions is
necessary to put emphasis
in which the person who suffers it is not
no vicious
not a trickster does not even have a
moral weakness addiction as such
a disease constitutes a disease
that has signs and symptoms that are
detectable and are also preventable
a disease that is bio psychosocial
biologically in the addict you see
committed the gratification system
and rewards
the way the brain produces the
happiness
psychologically there is a pain that the
addict needs to relieve that pain can
have been caused by multiple things
as abandonment
violence
abuse and so on
and socially the way we
we affectively link people
can play a fundamental role in
if it can be a risk factor
to fall into addiction or a
protection factor to avoid falling
it is also important to realize
that social relationships in the addict
are distorted one of the most
great researchers on the subject of
addictions
Dr. Gabor Mate says he is
impossible to understand an addiction
if we first ask
what relief does the person find in the
drug or what hope is
I was born in the year of 1979
first son of a very young couple
my mother was 19 years old
my dad 21
thanks to your efforts could the
schools to schools worried
for my physical health for my health
emotional
and I can tell you that from bb to
my 8 years old my life was honey and sweetness
he was never a well-behaved child
I always had behavioral problems
I was doing very well in school but always
he had reports he always had complaints and what
explains very well my father
when at the age of five
write a poem that he named small and
Enabled is short I’m going to
claim says
little devil that runs and that flies
demon that breaks restlessness and glasses
that every morning crying to school and
I always wait for you stretching my arms
scourge of the entire school district as well
prohibit scolding and screaming the day you
you pass with sticks and pitchforks and you get to
house with a hundred little friends aquila calls you
your maternal grandfather for fame that has
since tremendous child more nothing in life
It makes me so happy to have you by my side
ti josé luís
as you can see
very well explains my father really
behavior problems but also
explained that situation that I was very
loved very dear very careful
when
he turned 8 years old my younger brother
carlos de 3
my parents start a process of
divorce
when this happens
we even notice we gave them
they were very careful not to
we noticed the fights or the
discussions were very careful in
that part at the end of the process
divorce we stayed to live with dad
the first years we live in my house
grandfather of my maternal grandparents
friend for what you followed
but my mother left the country
It was little I had physical contact
with her and eventually by phone
by letters
here is
a situation that as a child I do not
I understood reasons I did not know why my
mother was gone and I did not want
understand it the only thing I knew was that the
the person I loved the most in the world
it was my mother was not by my side and that
it hurt me
and finished high school
and I start to consume eventually
marijuana at the age of about 13
years
the smoke with some kids that were going to
wash cars to the colony they rode
by bicycle and I liked to ride in
bicycle and in the first the first time
that I had contact with marijuana I felt
what was for me
filled a void or some situation that
It made me feel very good but I still do not
I knew what the addiction had to me
prepared
step high school my consumption of
marijuana becomes habitual
and I start to try other substances
alcohol cocaine pills
and I begin to lower my notes
I still finished high school I left
to study in Guadalajara
and that’s where I really
my drug use became a
true problem the partners with
those who lived and I daily
we used all kinds of drugs
especially cocaine for any
thing at any time I had
become an addict
I remember once I felt so big
an existential vacuum that I did not know that
I had gone through my life
to telephone my father
tell him how I felt and I think he
I notice such bad and the next day he already
I was in Guadalajara looking for help
to treat my addiction
my Internet
and it lasts some clean time I came home
I set out to finish my career in a little
time to enter the university of
return relay
but this time the fall was spiraling
I started to substitute cocaine for
crystal methamphetamine
I started selling drugs to be able to
solve the expenses that my addiction
produced
I started having many ducts
antisocial
we started my friends and I to
relate to people
who were engaged in drug trafficking and
they convinced us to take drugs to
Foreign
I obviously fell prisoner
I was arrested
for the cargo transportation charge
and attempt and distribution of cocaine
at the moment that they put me
handcuffs on the hands
I knew that a long time in prison
I expected
on my way
from detention to the penitentiary tied
of feet and hands I could not I would not
I could stop thinking about what
spent with that child
I wanted to be a marine biologist
that he was noble educated loved as he had
ended up being a convicted felon
abroad
inside prison
I was involved in gangs in quarrels
I was even in a year in confinement
lonely in a cell two by four
for a fight
by the end
my sentence and leave prison I
I promised and I swore not to use again
but a month after my release I already
I found myself back in the same hole
in a free fall without a parachute
again selling substances to be able
pay
I consume my consumption patterns
I started
to work in a company of a
my family but it was a short time because
they returned me to intern in a center of
the rehabilitation in which I left and last
three months it’s clean and I very came back I went back to
relapse
and my whole family was tired I was
desperate that everyone put
on his part for me to become
in a better person for me to leave
the drugs and I could not find the
internal resources to be able to do it
it was practically impossible
I remember one day that was in my
room watching the photos fascinates the
my daughter’s wall
in a deplorable state
with an inconsolable crying I started
feel that I really could not continue
A) Yes
I needed help and I talk to my
father on the phone and he with all the
doubts of the world says I’ll help you and
a rehabilitation center takes me
again it did not last long in the center of
rehabilitation at the first opportunity
that I had to escape me escape so that
I know I did not want to repeal but neither
I wanted help
it is an incongruity
that also characterizes this disease
it’s like when you go like going to the doctor and
tell the doctor what you want
I prescribe you
my father addresses me and he says he hears me jose
Luis, what do you want to do?
It makes it very difficult for me to help you when
you do not want to let your hand and I
speaks of a rehabilitation center
which is called this treatment base
addictions advanced and I accept that
take you there
and there I began to really understand what
It’s what happened to me
and there were many people
who was committed to helping me in
make me feel that it was worth seeing my
front work my flaws in greens
virtues in healing my wounds and living
my spirituality
there I met
to two ladies who have a heart of
giant gold so giant that we can fit
all addicts in the city
my godmothers martelly threepalacios them
they invited me to stay to work this
it was very moving for me because some
people who did not even know me
they had confidence that I could do
things well
and they began to train me and they sent me
to conferences to workshops to courses
and I started to feel good by serving
helping others and well remember
because in my rehabilitation process
I read a prayer from san francisco de asís
who said that sometimes to meet
oneself it is necessary to get lost in the
the rest
and it was like that
how I was working my spirituality
when I speak of spirituality
personally
I’m not talking about the acceptance of
a god that can be religious without being
you can be religious or not and be
spiritual as long as you’re based
under its principles and which is as
honesty like honesty the
compassion
to be grateful
and that ‘s the way I see my
spiritual my spirituality and it is very
curious to try to live the most
stuck to that is very curious because
When I was a boy
in a rebel a rebel without cause what
best
and the funny thing about this is that when
I start living under principles
spiritual
guiding me by what I was taught so
that I was inculcated
constitutes for me today a true act
of rebellion because because we see in
out in the streets a one veneration
to recover all the kids want
be hit men at least the ones that many of
those who arrive at the centers of
rehabilitation
there is a
an identification with the characters of
the narco series then something is wrong
really in our society
then it constitutes for me a true
act rebelliousness to live in the
circumstances that society is under
spiritual principles
I urge you
to analyze the efforts that
are doing to combat this
disease
in political matters, addiction is a
public safety issue
when in fact the bottom of the problem
it’s a health problem it’s a situation
of health
clear that it violates the security of
people but it would be like attacking the
symptom and not going to work the
disease
so
there are civil organizations as is but
who they have many years working in
addictions
that I believe
The time has come when our
leaders
come and listen to what it is that
they have to say about this
matter of addictions to address it from
a more effective way
thanks to all the efforts of these
people
who engaged in me
rehabilitation
that child who wanted to be a marine biologist
that derailed was an exconvicto the
Today, it is being prepared in
a specialty in clinical psychology and
I dedicate myself
help people who have been in
the same situation as me thank you very much
