วีดีโอ

Hi Stephen, your channel has helped us enormously, taken on every bit of advice. My Husband was alcohol dependent, you know the very wobbly hands in the morning, a shot of something before he went to work! He works full time and takes any bit of overtime he can. I drink too but not dependent. As he was so bad I rang the doctor for an appointment for him. Just for those of you out there that are nervous about going to the doctors, don't be, the doctor was fantastic so understanding and kind. He put us in touch with an addiction clinic, who were also fantastic. I had to control how much he drank i.e. lower the amount every four days. Now he doesn't have wobbly hands in the morning. i am drinking about 1/4 of what I was and feel brilliant. The end goal is for us both to stop completely, which is not far away now. Loving the stories too! My husband is not a horrible drunk, never aggressive or anything like that but he did do stupid, clumsy things, like loose the bank card, thank god it was in the day before contact less!!! So relate to the stuff people do under the influence!!!

Yup, i dont care to talk to my son. My daughter, wife drop off food for him at his dorm. I didnt even look up and he didnt say anything either❤

Thanks for this excellent motivational post Steven, much appreciated. Congratulations 🎊 on 5,000 subs! Your awesome channel is growing fast 🏃‍♂️ 👍

Aye I did 53 days off then drank last weekend. Wasn’t so fun to drink as I thought. My emotions were up and down I’m not stable enough to drink - like I won’t go mental but it’s just not good for me. 54 off 3 on.

Had my own battles with the bottle after my Brother dropped dead suddenly at 45. I sought refuge in alcohol which lasted for two years but my wife tired of my drinking & suggested we move to another Town & start again, it worked. That was 30 years ago & i still miss him badly but i have learned to remember our good times together and that helps.

Top man,your honesty is first class.

Hi I’m a 56 male, I’ve drunk alcohol since I was 14 my dad was a big drinker. I have drunk every night all my life except when I was in the prison service and had a weeks of nights which never bowered me. I’ve now escalated to starting at 16.00 with 4 cans of bud followed by 3 or 4 ciders then a bottle of wine mixed with cider to make it last longer. I’m getting worse any advise?

I really enjoy your videos 👍

Loved this but oh dear on a wing and a prayer there

Took me 18 years to beat my drinking. I rarely drink now.

Hi Steve thanks. For the videos

I just subscribed. What would you say is the thing that helped you the most in turning your life around?

Think smoking's more of an addiction than drinking.

I’m 44 and drink 100 units per week and have done for 15 years. I don’t want to stop. How can I stop if I don’t want to?

Hi Steve, another great adventure!. The unnecessary panic we cause ourselves when we drink!. Hope you're well 👍

Don’t think I can do it

many thanks

You gotta have a reason as you’ve said in previous vids Stephen but I’ve not got a good reason this year alone I’ve lost my best friend my close auntie my nanna my uncle who was like a brother and my lady I’ve got nothing left Stephen glad you have take care god bless ❤️

I had to chuckle when you said your Land Rover was a bit heavy on the juice! I enjoy your vlogs, they keep me in check… thanks

What's up, Steven. I wish I could get back every dollar I spent on alcohol. It would be substantial.

Thanks for the video Steve! If I'm honest, i found you a bit dry in the first videos I watched. I'm absolutely loving them now. I actually laugh when you almost crack a smile! 😅

Takes a lot of courage to over come your issues and then post those stories online if your still in the north east I hope to shake your hand one day.

Thank you for your channel. I've found your videos to be far more illuminating and relatable than I expected.

Love your videos Steve. Thanks. I find your voice very easy to listen to

It must be exhausting being an alcoholic, Surely at some point the body tells you to stop drinking?

Alcohol? Makes the fun times even more fun, and the boring times far less boring. Sorry sounds like I'm trouble making, but as I've said before, there are exceptions, rather like gambling, exercise, shopping.. Addiction is within. It's like a bad back, some people are just prone to it. Many are not. I for one found the 90s and 00s bang on. Have some superb memories and all involved the beer. Take the youth of today? Miserable sods in the main. Go to the gym, there they are swinging their water bottles en route to the gym. Then maybe a coffee afterwards. What are they going to have to remember when they are my age (52)? Not bloody much that's for sure!

EXACTLY..........IVE LEARNED......MY RELAPSE WAS A MISTAKE...MY SCORE NOW...82 OFF......1 ON.........LOOKS AND FEELS BETTER...IGNORE THE ONE 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Steven thanks for your channel my friend. If you have time have a look at the short film in the link. The vid is called The Pour and its's about giving chronic alcoholics an hourly dose of wine - a bold but controversial way to deal with alcoholism. Mark Kelley visits an Ottawa treatment centre to meet the residents and the care workers involved in a program that has attracted attention from around the world. Whats your thoughts? th-cam.com/video/3KleSSdjqX0/w-d-xo.html

I'm a binge drinker with a lot of regrets from alcohol. Your videos have inspired me to quit. 7 days now and going strong.

You are so brave telling your story it’s heartbreaking i wish you all the happiness thank you ❤

Great message Steve. I think if you had to sum up how embedded alcohol is in our everyday lives, Christmas is the only example you need. The endless adverts telling us Christmas isn't Christmas without sherry, champagne and brandy. And the pressure from colleagues to 'join in and don't be a party pooper'. If you're an off-licence or supermarket it's a gift from heaven, but for us it's a nightmare. I think a lot more thought needs to go into media output at this time of year - it's become a marketing circus that accentuates loneliness and isolation. If you're lucky enough to have a big loving family around you and a nice place to live, then that's great, but for those less fortunate it can be a very lonely and difficult time of year.

going on 5 years sober and still don't allow myself into bars unless I have a very good reason

Im really grateful for your videos Steven. Since coming across your channel , it seems you appear in my feed at just the right time lol so thankyou. Im 43 days sober today , i have decided to engage in my group therapy and keeping a structure to my days. This is far the time i have tried to get soberm but i have never given up. I feel i hit a rock bottom that i didnt realise just how at the bottom it was. At the moment im too scared to even think about the possibility of consuming alcohol today. I can relate to alot of what you say about a lack of hygene (that rarely entered my thought pattern, i couldnt allow it to), my home was as chaotic as my mind, I couldnt eat , i lost the art of chewing and it left me with an eating disorder, which i still struggle with to this day. My body was so depleted of nuterants, vits and minerals , that i was terrified of takoacidosis , i was dying. Sorry that sounded depressing but i feel i had to type this today and maybe come back and read it, when im not feeling as strong as i do today .. Thanks again for your content , its so relatable. Addicts are very much more alike , than we are different

Hi, Steven. I randomly came across your videos and this is the second one I've watched. When you knew you were an alcoholic, did you still actively enjoy the taste of alcohol, or was it purely down to chasing the physiological effect it had when it entered your system?

Your skin and eyes look pretty good at the moment. Did you ever have jaundice? I can tell the alcoholics in my local because of it. Yellow skin and the whites of their eyes the same.

Thanks for sharing Steve I watch your videos daily mostly 😊 very good info you put out there ❤

I can relate to your story thanks for sharing

So true Steve you walk round some shopping centres now and there giving away free samples I remember arguing with my girlfriend last Christmas I was chasing her round like a kid trying to stop her going back I ended up walking out left the trolley full of shopping

I'm 41 now, and stopped drinking in my early 20's. One of the best decisions I ever made for health and wellbeing.
