I love this!

I had always assumed everyone "wanted more" after the first 2 drinks. Now that I look back on it, no one else around me was doing what I was doing. I was taking down shots of vodka like every 5 minutes until someone would take it away from me. I also didn't think anything of "having a problem" because I wasn't an "every day drinker". I was just someone who "binged" whenever I did drink. I also falsely believed, as most people do, that the dependency is what makes you an alcoholic. When in reality, it's the other way around. The dependency just happens as a result (but not guaranteed that it will). You see, for the alcoholic (it's a disease we are born with, in MOST cases) there is this abnormal reaction our bodies have to alcohol (Dr Silkworth referred to it as a "physical allergy"). When we take one, we literally crave more and more. No matter how many we've had, we're almost never satisfied. I say "almost" because there are exceptions. Once I started drinking every day, I did have a limit. But, at that point, the dependency had set in; and this "limit" was still well above the average drinker. I recently went through detox and that was NOT fun. And by "NOT fun" I mean a living hell. I'm still dealing with lingering withdrawal symptoms. I recall, during detox, I got on the floor curled up in a ball (I felt like something in me was trying to burst out of my skin) and I was crying and screaming, "Jesus, please take me now". I felt like I was in a dream for a week. I even had this crazy notion of taking the light switch plate off in the bathroom, standing in salty water (high conductor of electricity) and then grabbing the hot wires. When I couldn't get the plate off, I thought of doing it in the laundry room on the 220V dryer outlets (oddly enough, they let us in the laundry room by ourselves). I felt "trapped" that I could not get a drink. Thank Jesus I didn't do that, but it was rough for those few days.

I only drink during the night and dont really obsess about it in the daytime. However, I feel like it's a compulsion for me because once I do drink, I want more and more. I'm trying to tapper so I can one day be alcohol free. Christians, please pray for me. Thanks in advance ❤

Nah.

This guy talks a robot ... fucked his brain from booze .can't listen to his word voice.

When you come home from a night of binge drinking if you're seeing people in your room and your talking to them then it's a problem because those people aren't even there. It's your brain playing tricks on you. I stopped drinking after 25 years of this terrible stuff. I was fed up with Endoscopy, s ulcers in chest, panic attacks, I was even more miserable, lost my job and family everything. I'm a totally different person now and I'll never touch that poison again because that's what it is!!! 🤮

Love you Paul. Love ya Sam. Happy Easter!

Damn started out banging for first time .. 😳 all in

Is she old or young I can't tell? Coke is dumb AF unless as u got a ton of it cause it wears off so fast. 😂

My addiction started with a high dive also. 13 yrs old, I was smoking cigarettes and I’d smoked weed but nothing hard not even alcohol. So 2 days after my 13th birthday I shoot up heroin. That was day one of 29 yrs of chaos and Hell. Today I have 5 yrs clean-ish. I still smoke weed. I know what clean is to me and I do consider myself clean just not sober.

Oh silly Lisa you were supposed to dabble with drugs as a kid/teen and get it out of your system by the time you have kids

It is not a disease. It is a self-imposed, chronic compulsion. There is, I believe, a genetic factor. But we KNOW when we start out that we don't handle it the way normal people do, yet the feelings from drinking keep pulling us back to it, despite knowing better. It is the pit we find ourselves in when we made a choice and, despite knowing its downside, we kept digging the pit.

His story helps me understand or see from another perspective so to identify the problem. This is true of all addiction, even food which may just take longer. As a Health Coach, and one on my own journey, this truth sets freer and freer.

Oxy what's that

good story wish it was longer kicking is the hardest thing to do its so uncomfortable 😖 but when you get right the pain all gos away😅.

Sober since August 2022. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell.

The only failure is failure to succeed

You should be ashamed of yourself ... You are a thief...

I’ve had the same problem for years im finally able to stay sober. An finally figuring out how to see value in myself, u stay strong brother

This has nothing to do with the current video however I had the thought that the old ad campaign for Snickers bar about being hangry was simply describing the withdrawal symptoms from a sugar addiction.

I drink once in a blue moon. But this helps me want to clean up. I'm trying to quit smoking too, and it's hard. I need help with something though. I'm trying to get in the military and it's been more than 30 days and my body will not detox. Has anyone had this issue. Please 🥺❤

I really like your information. Thank you and God bless you Sam!

😂🙏🏻God bless

I don’t know how anyone can live without drinking. Life isn’t any fun anymore. Without alcohol everything is just a grind. I went sober for four years, and I hated every minute of it. Sure, I get in trouble from drinking who doesn’t,. But without drinking life is just an empty desert, the land of thirst.

Heart disease, liver and kidney disease, pancreatic issues, cancer, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, psychosis...list goes on. Alcohol SUUUUUCKS.

374 days today and enjoying life. ❤

I tried to be a alcoholic but my body doesn't let me🤷🏿‍♂️ I don't know how people become alcoholics..

I quit drinking some amount of years ago. Six maybe? I never really set a date but I just kindof didn't want to do it anymore. I have friends who are struggling and I wish there was some magic thing that I could tell them to help them quit, but it's different for everyone. My life has gotten unexpectedly better without it.

Hey guys someone need's I'll help will ull be able to his a kid 14 years of age watch's a All ur videos

You do you and we’ll do us ! It’s our life to live it how we want , big whoop you recovered . Stop preaching it’s boring as fuck

I don't get angry that others can drink just one

I’m sober 14 1/2 months after I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach and liver cancer. They tell me I’ll be dead in a few months. Unfortunately I’m still a loser, I’m still fat and I still have no interest in living. I definitely recommend quitting but dont be fooled it’s some sort of miracle cure all.

Thank you. I needed to hear this

This guy looks native

The Devils elixir. Alcohol is an awesome drink! Unless, you know other people, NEVER exit your dungeon, walk, talk, have children, have a wife, have a relationship, have a life, see, smell, taste, have feelings, or generally, have a pulse. Oh, and if you do, well, you won’t for long. 🤮🤢🤢🤢😵‍💫

5months sober now, longest ive gone in my life, im nearly 56, would drink vodka neat for breakfast, did it so far by myself, totally different person now for the better

I disagree with the notion that you are powerless against alcohol. Don't stop fighting for your health and for yourself and one day you will be triumphant over your addiction! Believe it, and you can achieve it! I did it 15 years ago and you can too

I am 52 yrs old, I have been drinking alcohol since I was 15 yrs old.I no longer have the desire to drink anymore mostly due to the fact that I know if I don't stop my health will suffer.I have many friends and family members whom have died from alcohol addiction, sadly a few of them were suicides.

👍🏾

Thank God you did and anybody with a lot of time but a short date that's even more impressive to me because it is so hard to quit booze I I quit booze very easily but I'm a drug addict I just replaced booze with Xanax which is not really a good idea but there is a little bit of damage control I am convinced that this medicine is not good for me but it's I would be dead if I kept drinking. But the problem with all these addictive substances pills and alcohol particularly is you're either completely inebriated or you're sick there's not much in between now there is a short period in the beginning where you're going to function and have less hangovers but or just be more tolerant to Hangovers but again there's a point where you're either completely drunk because there is a point where the allergy kicks in and having the booze in your system puts your brain in that comfort zone making you dependent another observation I had is since alcohol has such a short half-life that's one reason why it was legal over cannabis. Anyway another thing I wanted to say is yeah just like this guy explained how he had a sober time and then when he started drinking again it was just the same like he's bottle after bottle that's another thing I've had two or three years off of pills and yeah at one point found a bottle of pills and I'm not too ashamed of myself I did take the pills that were like 90 Percocet and at one point in my life 90 Percocet would have lasted a month and a half maybe and that was partying by the end of my by the time I checked into treatment 90 Percocets would barely last a week and that's just being comfortable and not agitated. I've never laughed so hard then my first day out of rehab and it was like a tiny little cat picture and I swear I laughed out loud for about 5 minutes and I realized that is my true brain I felt like I was 12 years old. Find something that makes you happy and then that will help you find somebody you love. And don't count on your family they don't even know what affects you and they could have good intentions that affect you negatively. I love my parents but they're just as screwed up as I am except they had their shit together when America had a functioning economy.

The WHY is key to shift to inner, powerful motivation to change, do hard things, choices.

I truly appreciate you making this video on your check-in. What topics should we expect? I’m impressed, I liked this video and subscribed!

Yep, we have the Marchman Act here in FL too

Idle hands are the Devils playground for sure

Ive had to do the same exact thing to a cpl ppl..... Soon i was the person to come to with ODs.... That wasnt fun

It’s not a disease. Stop playing the victim. I understand addiction but it’s not a disease z

Speed it up peppi...

Each cell of our body vibrates on a certain frequency. Drinking alcohol reduces the body's vibration to a lower frequency. Your thoughts are made up of energy. When your mind is functioning on a lower vibration. Entities of low vibration can make suggestions to your mind. Thus the term "stinking thinking." This is why they call hard alcohol Spirits.
