Well done stay strong you’re an inspiration to all people to get off the poison that is alcohol.

Hare Krishna good sir. Please chant Hare Krishna mantra, read Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, and learn how to control your mind. We are not these bodies. We are pure spirit soul

Enjoy your videos I'm still drinking I want to stop I have meet someone u explain things so well

Hi Steven, great video. Thanks for your continuous support to us all that follow you. Hope you're well

Great message Steven! I'm with you. We can't have enough people like yourself speaking these true words.

This has inspired me to quit drinking, thank you from the u.s.

Glad to hear you are better, but I think it's OK to drink in moderation.

Recognisable.... Thankfully I never reached that level of illness, in fact that's my biggest motivation, I am aware that point of irreversible damage may just happen, even hardly noticeable because let's face it, we're in denial most of the time..... I know the Freeman well, spend time there with my son for his lung transplant.... As for friends dropping like flies? Yeah, about 6 between Oct last year and May this year, and Ducie was the last one of that whole batch of old friends, and it hit me hard. 6 weeks ago my brain finally switched around, finally realised nobody is going to help, nobody can take the pain away, and I stopped drinking and I know I won't again! ❤ The struggle is always an individual one though.....

Just don’t over do it mate 🤘

Thanks Steven for this excellent video, much appreciated. The community appreciates all your help and leadership. A+

I started drinking on the weekend when I was 17 and by my mid 20s the good buzz was not there so I drank more til it became a daily thing, the cycle escalated now to the old hair of the dog, not knowing til my 40s that my body did not produce dopamine and the tolerance level just grew to chasing that alcohol high was not coming back but in my mind I insisted on getting it back so I kept drinking. coming up on 15 months sober with damage to my health with significant improvement by one day at a time. We must realize there is no cure and I will not graduate from recovery for that moment of instant gratification to relapse, just for today is all we can do and find purpose.

🙏🙏

Very nice man .

Do you drink zero percent beers still? If so how many would you have

Another sobering post...no pun intended...but you are keeping me motivated Steven🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You are spelling out the raw truth of prolonged alcohol abuse so eloquently Steve. Thank you for putting this video together. I'm convinced it will help many people who are struggling

hi steven my brother inlaw has been in hospital 3 weeks now all of a sudden he got up and said he can not walk and is feet swelled up hes been drinking vodka for years every day lost is long time job and most of is pension after having to have a breath test at work so now was drinking more saying he was depressed he is 62 he is still hallucinating and been told he has servere neuropathy has a servere bladder infection and nearly lost him last week it all came on him overnight thats how quick it can get you the drink when he comes out hopefully will be showing him some of your channel clips to show him it can be done keep up your good work in trying to help others you should be very proud thank you

I quit by myself. 13 years ago September 17 2011. I knew I could do by myself and I did. My family are so proud of me. It was so easy to quit because I couldn’t stand the hangovers anymore!

I'm still drinking I'm not feeling well 51 now have everything.my boys and job why am I doing this

Thank You For That Thought!!!

Thanks Steve, I want to say you were a lucky lad to survive. But luck has nothing to do with it. Alcohol addiction is a hard road to travel and your story back from near death is a testament to the will to survive. I read your posts every morning in NZ. It gives me just another reason to stay sober. Thank you.

You sir a remarkable person,to change your life around.its hard temptation for booze ( ethanol) runs airplanes .Only 1 winner Alcohol . determination will power & remember how ill you were . keep strong and do it life will be better .thank you for your videos they keep me strong

Post some before and after Steven

you are an inspiration

Your a brave lad! Now your helping people all around the world with your message of hope in recovery..❤from 🇨🇦

It takes courage to change your life around from such a strong addictive drug like alcohol well done

I think these men have "given up" on life and don't care because some have nothing to live for, maybe their marrages have broken down or they are retired or on the dole and they see no future

That's me as well.... And yes, I'm getting a bit fed up with it being everywhere! At the same time though, I'm starting to get the odd messages from friends who admit they feel they should be doing the same and stop after seeing one of my diary installments.... We can only inspire, not force ❤

The other thing with drinkers I have noticed is they tell themself everyone is doing it. I’ve seen it with people on TH-cam who should be cutting down and they know it, but the suns out and they take the opinion that everyone else is out having a drink in the pubs or in their garden, so they should too. They don’t see the wider picture that the vast majority of decent working people do not drink heavily on a daily basis. Sure there’s some that will have a bottle of wine a night and go to work next day, but those are not the majority. The majority might have a few drinks at a weekend and that’s it. When you start to drink daily or most days, that’s when your chances of serious health complications shoot up. It’s not normal to drink daily, even if it’s a few cans. I’ve seen stories of blokes who allegedly drank 2-4 cans of lager a night for decades then one day out the blue they become seriously poorly. Rarely will there be any going back at that point. Daily drinking is not normal.

We ignore the education and warning because we get instant gratification from drinking. You get something from it, in the moment, or at least at the start of the night. Your then chasing that same feeling all night, and those who become physically dependant well then they are just chasing feeling human because at that point they are fucked.

Alcohol is the most deceptive drug, the most noxious of poisons. It lies, convinces you it's a best friend, then stabs you when you're most vulnerable.

You Rock 🎸 Steven Curry. A+

Thanks Steven for this very good post, much appreciated. Today was trash day and I remember having to pick up and gather and toss out all the empty bottles and cans after a binge. It was embarrassing. Love ❤️ your excellent channel mate 👍 👌

because not everyone who drink are alcholics

A big factor is the constant marketing showing drinking alcohol as something that will enhance mood, contribute to positive emotional experiences, friendships etc..

Those that I knew that died of drink, never thought it was bad enough to die…until it was too bad and too late..

Steven, your truthful and frank talk on booze is helpful. It helps me to say no to the free cocktails after work, the prosecco celebration after another successful meeting, the "Local for one large?!" to talk something through with a troubled colleague, the dropping by the shop for the one extra glass of wine when you get home which ends up being the bottle, then the WFH when the tiniest touch of pressure sends me to the shop for 2 large Morettis...the average 1 bottle of wine a day, the lack of a proper hangover just hints of memory loss causing embarrassment and blackouts, and brain fog, the weight gain, the poor sleep, stopping excersise because I'm chilling with a vino in front of Netflix, yet despite all this, I find solace in wasting money on it daily, after all...a new day, refreshed body...alcohol isn't that harmful is it?! I feel it taking grip. Please keep your posts coming, I MUST find it in me to get out of this trap X

I read an article about Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols a while ago and read with interest his experience of recovering from alcohol addiction. He said nobody sets out to be an alcoholic, it creeps up on you. I can identify with that as I was a moderate drinker before the pandemic. When I started working from home I didn't have the same disciplining forces compelling me not to drink during the week (mostly I can't drink as I might lose my driving licence which would mean losing my livelihood). I don't have these forces now as I still WFH. 3 days not drinking last week. 4 days this week. I wanted to completely abstain but with alcohol so woven into the fabric of society I'm thinking that you are always going to relapse at some point. I'm starting to think that I need to learn to live with the conditions I find myself in and hold off drinking 3 or 4 days a week, which is probably not the best thinking. Really good that you are doing these videos but also keep yourself on track too and walk away and think about your self if people's tales of woe get too much. I will say though that tonight is the first time I've thought I don't like the feeling of being drunk. Progress maybe.

Hi Steven, another great video. Do we think it won't happen to us? I won't be the one that dies!! ignorant to all this when we are young, as you said when a doctor actually sits you down and says " if you dont stop you will die". Alcohol is so powerful to the addict they don't really care " in the moment". Hope you're well
