In this brief video, Dallas Bragg addresses individuals struggling with crystal (methamphetamine) addiction. He emphasizes that a person’s identity is separate from their addictive behavior, urging listeners to stop labeling themselves as "addicts" or "failures" after a relapse. Bragg frames addiction as a maladaptive pattern or trauma that can be observed from the outside, and encourages viewers to recognize their authentic self underneath the addiction, which needs love, help, and compassionate self‑talk rather than self‑stigmatizing language.

Guys, if you're struggling with crystal addiction, I have a message for you this morning. You are not your addiction. You are not the things that you think, say, and do while you're on crystal. I want you to stop saying, I am an addict, I am a failure when I relapse, I this and I that. You're identifying and attaching with a pattern and a cycle and a trauma and a maladaptive behavior that is not you. Separate yourself from your addiction, and then you can start observing it outside of yourself. But somewhere deep inside, you know there is the real authentic person who just needs some help and needs some love and needs you to stop calling it an addict.
