Dazed and Confused: Coping with Stress - Part 2

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Moshe Chaim Katz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

uh some of the problems of smoking pot yeah it came for a good class so one of the things also is that in our generation is a lot of very addictive personalities and people use things as like a crutch and a way to just cope with things so a lot of people say like I don't use it all the time just when I get stressed out so I just gotta you know smoke a blunt and then I'll be better so what do you say about that Robbie like what's wrong with that it helps me so the response to that person is you know life has challenges Hashem will continue to throw things in our way in order for us to show up to life in order for us to rise to the challenge of life so now let's say somebody gets married and something's happening you know they have a child nazotov and something is happening in the in the life of the child and maybe something not very good is happening foreign tells the wife and she says you know I really need to talk about this thing like there's something really important going on we got to deal with this and he's like freaking out oh no this is feeling stressful it's feeling stressful so he's built neural Pathways in his brain as soon as he feels stressful just you know roll up a blunt and get high so now he tells his wife he's like just give me 10 minutes 15 Max I'm gonna go to my room get high and then we'll talk all about it she's like you don't understand like I need you now I need you to show up to life right now and he never learned how to just meet life in a real way so that's a very big concern
