Keenan is here from a very
devastating opiate addiction
563
00:27:52,963 --> 00:27:54,513
that started when
he was a teenager.
564
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:58,926
He got into the opiate world
not by choice,
565
00:27:58,927 --> 00:28:01,887
but because a doctor
with a prescription pad
566
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:04,179
wrote him a script
for Percocets,
567
00:28:04,182 --> 00:28:06,102
and at 16 years old,
568
00:28:06,101 --> 00:28:08,651
there's no way he had
the personal skills
569
00:28:08,645 --> 00:28:13,025
to deal with this thing
called opiate addiction.
570
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:17,195
But at 24, I think
he really has a firm grip
571
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:20,485
on where this opiate addiction
is taking him,
572
00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:23,660
and it's taking him
to a 6‐foot hole.
573
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:25,500
And he doesn't want that,
574
00:28:25,495 --> 00:28:28,785
and that's going to be
his biggest saving grace
575
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:31,460

690
00:33:51,905 --> 00:33:54,655
The real Cheri is
very vulnerable at times,
691
00:33:54,658 --> 00:33:56,698
and I feel that we're going
to have to touch
692
00:33:56,701 --> 00:33:59,791
her vulnerabilities
to let her subconscious mind,
693
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:03,578
her inner child, know
it's okay to hurt,
694
00:34:03,583 --> 00:34:06,383
but you don't have to suffer.
695
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:08,628
Now I would like you to
look at that woman in the mirror
696
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:10,760
right there, all around you.
697
00:34:10,757 --> 00:34:12,837
This 7 months that
you've had in sobriety,
698
00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:15,102
if I asked you
what was the one thing
699
00:34:15,095 --> 00:34:19,675
that's the most positive thing
from it, what would you tell me?
700
00:34:19,683 --> 00:34:21,273
Clarity, I think.
701
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:23,978
I think being able to see ‐‐
to see things,
702
00:34:23,979 --> 00:34:27,819
to just be able to see the world
around me intensely
703
00:34:27,816 --> 00:34:30,736
and to actually be able to look
people in the eye more...
704
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:32,855
‐Okay.
‐...and really be with people
705
00:34:32,862 --> 00:34:33,912
in the moment.
706
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:35,195
When I first made the commitment
707
00:34:35,198 --> 00:34:37,658
to start to get sober,
708
00:34:37,659 --> 00:34:40,289
I remember I was talking
to the therapist, and he said,
709
00:34:40,287 --> 00:34:42,907
"You know, the person you need
to meet is in the mirror,"
710
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:46,044
so it's kind of ironic that
I'm actually seeing my real self
711
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:47,672
how everybody else sees me
712
00:34:47,669 --> 00:34:49,799
'cause it's not the girl
I see every day.
713
00:34:49,796 --> 00:34:51,006
[ Laughs ]
714
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:52,466
Which is beautiful.
715
00:34:52,465 --> 00:34:53,965
‐It's a‐‐ It's ‐‐ It's ‐‐
‐It's not ‐‐
716
00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:54,927
That's what this is about.
717
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,216
Yeah. I love that.
718
00:34:56,219 --> 00:34:57,969
That is amazing.
719
00:34:57,971 --> 00:34:59,471
What do you do
for a living?
720
00:34:59,472 --> 00:35:00,852
I clean houses.
721
00:35:00,849 --> 00:35:03,689
‐Okay.
‐And I hate it. [ Laughs ]
722
00:35:03,685 --> 00:35:07,185
You know what? Learning what
you hate is the first step
723
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:09,818
to finding what you love,
724
00:35:09,816 --> 00:35:13,486
and, you know, you've been
making this work in your life,
725
00:35:13,486 --> 00:35:15,486
and you been doing it
out of bravery
726
00:35:15,488 --> 00:35:19,118
and courage for your children
and for all the right reasons,
727
00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:22,247
and I want you to recognize
that about yourself.
728
00:35:22,245 --> 00:35:25,615
I want you to recognize
that every painful day
729
00:35:25,624 --> 00:35:28,634
doing what you hated when you
come home and hug those boys,
730
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:32,087
that's why you were
cleaning those toilets.
731
00:35:32,088 --> 00:35:34,548
If they were here, they would
hug you if they ever knew
732
00:35:34,549 --> 00:35:37,639
what their mother went through
just to put food on their table
733
00:35:37,636 --> 00:35:41,806
to make sure that they were
safe and taken care of.
734
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:44,766
Just because you've had
a couple slips and falls
735
00:35:44,768 --> 00:35:47,648
in your life does not mean
that you're a loser.
736
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:51,066
There's only one rule to being
a winner in this life,
737
00:35:51,066 --> 00:35:54,896
and that is you get up one
more time than you fell down,
738
00:35:54,903 --> 00:35:58,453
and you're doing
that right now.
739
00:35:58,448 --> 00:36:05,288
And that is beautiful.
And that is courage.
740
00:36:05,288 --> 00:36:06,918
In the moment, it was actually
741
00:36:06,915 --> 00:36:12,205
really hard for me
to see myself.
742
00:36:12,212 --> 00:36:13,762
It was just powerful.
743
00:36:13,755 --> 00:36:16,415
I just kept looking into
my own eyes and smiling,
744
00:36:16,424 --> 00:36:17,934
and I just ‐‐
I felt so good.
745
00:36:17,926 --> 00:36:19,676
It was okay, and, like,
I looked,
746
00:36:19,678 --> 00:36:22,348
and it was like I could see
a beauty inside of myself
747
00:36:22,347 --> 00:36:26,227
of everything that they said,
and I could see.
748
00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:30,356
I could see me
for the first time.
749
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:32,145
Then, the next thing I know,
I'm ‐‐ I feel like
750
00:36:32,148 --> 00:36:35,318
I just sat straight‐up.
751
00:36:35,318 --> 00:36:38,358
And I'm just, like,
looking around, and whoa.
752
00:36:38,363 --> 00:36:40,123
Like, that's when the fear
and loathing
753
00:36:40,115 --> 00:36:42,655
of Las Vegas
started to take over.
754
00:36:42,659 --> 00:36:45,289
Suddenly, I have
no concept of time.
755
00:36:45,286 --> 00:36:47,866
Everything felt upside down.
756
00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:49,082
I think you're familiar.
757
00:36:49,082 --> 00:36:51,332
Mm‐hmm.
758
00:36:51,334 --> 00:36:54,254
So, like, what I'm saying
is, if I focus on you,
759
00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:56,554
it brings me back to what
I thought was reality.
760
00:36:56,548 --> 00:36:58,338
Mm‐hmm.
761
00:36:58,341 --> 00:36:59,681
Because everybody else is
participating in this journey.
762
00:36:59,676 --> 00:37:00,676
Yes.
763
00:37:00,677 --> 00:37:02,097
That seems a little weird
764
00:37:02,095 --> 00:37:05,345
because a minute ago,
it felt like days ago.
765
00:37:05,348 --> 00:37:07,178
Teri had came over,
and all of a sudden,
766
00:37:07,183 --> 00:37:09,523
as I'm talking to her,
767
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:13,359
her face just suddenly
just got way different from me,
768
00:37:13,356 --> 00:37:16,186
and, like, the sides of her face
began to be wavy
769
00:37:16,192 --> 00:37:17,742
like lines and the colors,
770
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:19,566
and it was just like
a kaleidoscope,
771
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:22,701
and you just watched,
but yet she was speaking to me.
772
00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:24,029
This is so fascinating.
773
00:37:24,033 --> 00:37:25,663
It is.
774
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:27,910
But you get it, so I'm not,
like, the only one.
775
00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:29,252
No, you're not
the only one.
776
00:37:29,247 --> 00:37:31,417
Like, that's all
I want to know is,
777
00:37:31,416 --> 00:37:35,916
is everybody in the same thing
with me, right?
778
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,510
The feeling of knowing, like,
the thoughts I would have,
779
00:37:38,506 --> 00:37:42,426
and then suddenly it would
go from just a concept
780
00:37:42,427 --> 00:37:45,807
to I would have
a deeper realization.
781
00:37:57,859 --> 00:38:00,489
You know, the biggest baggage
weight aside
782
00:38:00,487 --> 00:38:02,657
from just day‐to‐day living,
783
00:38:02,655 --> 00:38:04,525
I think some of the most
damaging stuff
784
00:38:04,532 --> 00:38:09,292
Mother Aya took from me,
and I felt like I just ‐‐
785
00:38:09,287 --> 00:38:10,867
I just had such a sweet peace.
786
00:38:10,872 --> 00:38:13,332
I can't explain it, and ‐‐
787
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:15,083
But, yeah, no.
It was beautiful.
788
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:17,714
It was exactly the way
it was supposed to be.

Keenan: You want the bag here,
mama bear?
792
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,060
Leaving here, I got
a lot of things
793
00:38:33,061 --> 00:38:36,771
I want to tell my parents,
my mom in particular.
794
00:38:36,773 --> 00:38:39,613
However, I think I'm just
going to have to show them
795
00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:43,199
that now I'm able to live
in the present,
796
00:38:43,196 --> 00:38:45,026
make the right decisions,
797
00:38:45,031 --> 00:38:47,991
not be caught in this cycle
of shame and guilt,
798
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:53,122
and my word will start
to have merit again.
799
00:38:53,122 --> 00:38:56,172
I'm on a slow road
of rebuilding this trust,
800
00:38:56,167 --> 00:38:57,997
but I think it will come,
801
00:38:58,002 --> 00:39:00,552
and that's an amazing thing
to be able to say out loud
802
00:39:00,547 --> 00:39:02,127
and to be able to believe it
803
00:39:02,131 --> 00:39:06,891
because I have never
believed it before.
804
00:39:06,886 --> 00:39:11,266
When I showed up to Aya Quest,
I felt pretty sure of myself.
805
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:14,766
I felt really confident and, uh,
806
00:39:14,769 --> 00:39:19,819
just kind of, like,
a little badass,
807
00:39:19,816 --> 00:39:22,736
I guess, like I was just
going to rock it,
808
00:39:22,735 --> 00:39:25,605
and it turned out to be
more difficult
809
00:39:25,613 --> 00:39:27,453
than I thought
it was going to be.

how's everything

00:39:28,533 --> 00:39:29,993
feeling for you
this morning?
812
00:39:29,993 --> 00:39:31,913
I'd say I feel
really good.
813
00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:35,711
Like, mm, definitely,
like, um, clearer...
814
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,627
‐Okay.
‐...I guess, lighter.
815
00:39:37,625 --> 00:39:39,835
Okay. She gave you kind of
a gut check there.
816
00:39:39,836 --> 00:39:41,626
Yeah, big ego check.
817
00:39:41,629 --> 00:39:43,259
And that's beautiful.
818
00:39:43,256 --> 00:39:45,086
That's part of transition.
819
00:39:45,091 --> 00:39:47,341
Just recognize you're never
going to kill that ego.
820
00:39:47,343 --> 00:39:49,353
‐Mm‐hmm.
‐It's you.
821
00:39:49,345 --> 00:39:51,345
That's a part of you,
but you can make ‐‐
822
00:39:51,347 --> 00:39:54,847
help it transition, and that's
what you're doing now,
823
00:39:54,851 --> 00:39:56,481
and I applaud it.
824
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:59,017
Those weren't easy things
to hear from me.
825
00:39:59,022 --> 00:40:02,032
Those weren't easy things
to hear from the other side,
826
00:40:02,025 --> 00:40:03,395
but you took it.
827
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,701
You were open
to all communication,
828
00:40:05,695 --> 00:40:07,275
and, man, I applaud that
829
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,660
because that's courage.
That really is.
830
00:40:09,657 --> 00:40:11,447
Cool.
831
00:40:11,451 --> 00:40:13,371
Steve: Mother Aya,
she needed to take his legs
832
00:40:13,369 --> 00:40:16,409
slap out from under him
and roll him on the ground
833
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:19,794
spiritually, if you will,
to get him unstuck
834
00:40:19,792 --> 00:40:23,002
from the muck of that crap
in his mind,
835
00:40:23,004 --> 00:40:26,304
and let me tell you,
you make Mother angry,
836
00:40:26,299 --> 00:40:28,969
don't think
she can't touch you.
837
00:40:28,968 --> 00:40:30,758
Good to see you all again.
838
00:40:30,762 --> 00:40:32,562
How are we feeling right now,
pretty good?
839
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:33,885
‐Good.
‐Wonderful.
840
00:40:33,890 --> 00:40:35,520
Excellent.
That's good to hear.
841
00:40:35,516 --> 00:40:38,186
Well, you all have had
some intense experiences.
842
00:40:38,186 --> 00:40:41,266
I'm impressed with the bravery
and the courage I seen
843
00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:43,362
from everybody in this group.
844
00:40:43,358 --> 00:40:45,358
You all went deep
as you could go.
845
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,610
You tried to do as best
as you could,
846
00:40:47,612 --> 00:40:50,492
and really that's all you
can do in life and a journey.
847
00:40:50,490 --> 00:40:52,740
When things are becoming
painful,
848
00:40:52,742 --> 00:40:54,832
and you're feeling
a little bit of resistance,
849
00:40:54,827 --> 00:40:58,077
I want you to step back
and examine,
850
00:40:58,081 --> 00:41:01,331
"What am I doing?
Am I allowing things to develop,
851
00:41:01,334 --> 00:41:03,804
or am I trying to make
something happen?"
852
00:41:03,795 --> 00:41:05,245
and 9 times out of 10,
853
00:41:05,254 --> 00:41:07,224
when you look at it
through that lens,
854
00:41:07,215 --> 00:41:09,875
you were trying
to make something happen
855
00:41:09,884 --> 00:41:13,354
rather than trusting
the universe has your back.
856
00:41:13,346 --> 00:41:15,716
Let the universe
just let it unfold.
857
00:41:15,723 --> 00:41:18,273
Let the spirits
flow through you.
858
00:41:18,267 --> 00:41:22,267
Ayahuasca is, like,
an outside force
