Dallas Bragg talks about watching content while using meth and hiding it, then reflects on recovery. Both speakers explore how sober people feel urges to cross moral lines but choose not to, framing it as universal human experience rather than moral failure.
I'm not saying me, but, you know, while I was high on meth, I watched that. Okay. I didn't get caught with it. I didn't, you know, and now I'm in my, I'm in my recovery knowing that I watched those things and I liked it.
Yep. You know, and in a sober state, in a rational state, they recognize where the lines are. And they feel with every ounce of their being, like they want to cross that line, but they recognize they cannot and will not. So, and again, some people don't, but I think I would put it in a category of if you're human, you've had urges to do things you shouldn't.
Hmm.
And so regardless of what that shouldn't is, I think you're walking next to somebody on the street who also had an urge of something they shouldn't do. Now, what is more socially acceptable to admit versus what is more socially acceptable to not admit? Okay, that falls into another bucket. But what I would say is, in a clinical context, you can be open about those urges, you know, and say, I don't like this about myself, and I want help to try to build structure and accountability around it.
