This changed my opinion of him. He is a good bloke! The booze is an amazing but very dangerous liquid.
7:50 is that Turn by Ein Astronaut??
Skinner tries to convince us that in a couple of years of drinking he ended up going through delirium tremens. What an absolute pratt!
You aren't stopping long enough to ever get sober a d get sick .
Definetely alcoholic.
Guess what you can pretend to drink and no one will notice you aren't drinking.
3 summer passed, no drinking still
Start using the body it is built for -MOVE!!!
2 weeks sober, ive tried to quit so many times but i had enough two weeks ago because ive had a 2 day full blackout and i cant remember the event of those two days i binge drink. took me almost 30 years being alcoholic, started when i was 13. broke my back motorcycle accident 2004 drunk driving, slept on the wheel. hope its not too late for my health to recover..
Simple cure ..get your liver function tested .GLA That ll put you right plus brain damage and cancer
Drinking regularly when your over 50 years old a high stakes gamble with your life not to mention that occasion cigarette you have too ;) Once a month will do. Like all things in life, do everything, but in moderation. Good Luck! 🍀
The ‘handrail for your social life’, hits hard.
39:20 The arrogant "therapist" calling another arrogant.
Alcohol is a strong depressant. I am a 100% sure, his Depression would heal significantly or even fully, when he would quit. At least my anxiety and depression was gone, when i stopped.
English people drinking "13 units" a week or whatever would be a cultural disaster. Either become a Calvinist and quit or be hard drinking fat lads head butting each other at the game as is traditional. Oh no it might take a year off your life: what kind of prune faced church lady do you have to be to think it's desirable to have an extra year of being in a hospital bed ****ing yourself or having a drink with the boys.
retired Mark is the parody of himself. And cant see it
GREAT PROGRAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!! watching from HOUSTON. TX 😄😄😄😄😄😄
The answer is: weed 👍
The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death.
All those moderation rules... Sounds easier to just not drink
It is and its a better life without alcohol 🙏
I use to work in the Czech Republic which had pubs everywhere and we would all go out after work everyday. I really enjoyed it. However, now that I'm no longer at that company and in the US there is no pubs like that here. I don't like the bars here at all. I'm actually relieved by this fact because I finally woke up to how bad alcohol is to our health. I miss the European pubs but I am happy not to be tempted by them. They were a major trigger.
This guy made a full documentary trying to convince himself he’s not an alcoholic 😂😂😂
I was a scotch drinker for 18 years. I quit a year ago due to afib and it was literally one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health. And I’m perfectly happy getting together with the same drinking friends, just not as often or for as long. The thing is, you really can’t gauge how much better it is until you do it. And for myself, there was no “ moderation” option. Abstinence was the only option because the saying is true: the first drink is your choice, after that the alcohol is choosing.
Alcoholism isn't defined by how much you drink or the frequency. It's defined by how much it ruins your life. When you start losing friends, family, and jobs and you can't reign it back in....that's when you know.
I gave up my weekend drinking which was at least 60 pints. I stopped that 11 years ago and when I did it was after an ultimatum. Since then I can honestly say I have had about 6 pints of shandy. If I had a good drink now it would probably kill me because of my mental illness, it would make me prone to an overdose with my medication. So it’s life or death for me.
"For a man that can pull off 20 pints in one sitting ... you are quite the metrsosexual" 😆👌
I've been sober now for 10 months having been a heavy drinker all my life. I'm now trying to find an alternative to the "pub" lifestyle.
sport or hobbies. I started long walks since I'm injured, when I'm healed I'll go back to cycling, swimming and climbing. Climbing started out of boredom, btw. go build stuff or volunteer, but make sure there is no alcohol culture, which was an issue at my hackerspace.
this just made me want to go to the pub
Want to look 10 years younger? Stop drinking and exercise every day instead.
I was drinking less than him, and, looking back, I'd describe it as alcoholism, but I got bored and fed up, actually in the same way I had heroin before it! I want actually enjoying it, I'd just drink 8-12 units any night, almost exclusively at night, when I couldn't think of any better thing to do. But my head feels clearer without it and I have a child that I've had to take full custody of alone, so too much to do, I have never once thought that I'd rather be having a drink, don't miss it! My head is clearer, no headaches, no heart-burn or hangovers, more money as I'm not wasting it on alcohol, takeaways or impulse purchases (I've been able to redecorate my whole flat), my house is cleaner, I have my son, I set up a large aquarium in the living room for us and a smaller(though still quite large) one in my son's room and they are thriving, got my balcony garden and houseplants under control, I'm going out more- cycling, swimming- I'm for and stronger, I'm happier, I have more energy, I've lost weight. Alcohol was worse for my overall quality of life than heroin, with heroin it was the withdrawal and the cost and lifestyle that resulted from that. If heroin were cheap and legal, like alcohol, I think I could have functioned, as I used it to cope with anxiety, the high could be nice, but I used heroin much like he did alcohol, I wanted to feel relaxed and opiates did that. The cost and legal trouble and the word underworld you had to deal with and it's dangers were more harmful than the dependence. I just decided when they were giving me a week's supply of methadone at once that I was going to reduce, stockpile then stop going for it. It's a trap, you start doing it out of habit and it's hard to stop. Like a coke binge, you spend all your money chasing this feeling that is actually very unpleasant when you analyse it objectively, cocaine being like a gambling binge, it's superficially rewarding but it is actually shallow, repetitive and boring, why would I put myself through that again? I have better things to do than take hard drugs like alcohol, heroin and crack. They are horrible drugs! I don't even like caffeine, I only use it if I really must be alert! Cannabis occasionally and mushrooms very occasionally. But alcohol is the most dangerous, stupid, insidious, poisonous and boring drug there is! Mushrooms are more interesting and fun, like being a child again! Everything feels big and significant and novel, colourful, exciting and you just feel an overwhelming sense of wonder, you get all the good and bad of being a child though, unable to regulate your emotions, but you actually feel good afterwards. Cannabis can be a problem for some, but I see it as a far less harmful drug than any alternative!
30:20 here you can tell very clearly he is in fact a real alcoholic. The realisation, the anger. It's so relatable.
I started watching your vids in 2017 & found them fascinating & helpful. I still to this day wonder how u are doing.
Adrian is bloated he would lose weight if he reduced his drinking
I'm a non practicing alcoholic. Hard drug to give up. Giving up drinking is easy I've done it lots...
This guy puts away 5-6 pints and 5 glasses of wine in 2 days and yet he´s shocked that he is over the recommended limit. Ladies and gentlemen, this is England😁😁😁
it is not easy when it gets you. one bad choice has derailed my life. i wish everyone the very best xxx
All the best Benny
this was such a ride watching this.
Just reading the phrase ‘back to day one’ helps me stay sober.
You give people hope. Your honesty keeps me sober, we all slip, but i believe once your on that sober path, you truly want to stay on it. Every thing you say i can relate to. All the best mate ⭐
FEAR, that's what i struggled with. Fear, expectation, anxiety and responsibility. I'm sober now, but i still struggle with FEAR. Good luck.☀️
Yes...I understand you way too well ! I've been alcohol free for twenty four years now...I'm still scared, anxious,shun responsibilities and can have unrealistic expectations.Those issues haven't killed me yet.Best wishes to you on your journey ! 🐞
Done 5 detoxes next one in may
Listen
When you have been sober for a long time and drink again , you realise how utter shit it is. It never does what you think it will , it lies.
It is no fun trying to enjoy yourself and vomit into the toilet bowl at the same time..
Can't get anybody drunk, can't get anybody sober. The first nine steps will get you sober and the last three steps will keep you sober. It can be done.
RIP Bilfan Potters. Died Sept 23rd 2018 from alcohol poisoning.
Thanks for sharing It help s to talk and listen to others with Alcoholism
I am glad you got some sobriety under your belt. Five months is awesome. I recently started a recovery channel "Shades O' Clarity" - mostly to help myself, stay in check, and attempt to help others. I don't think you should quit. Making videos about this shit is therapeutic. Hell man, they lowered the monetization sub level to 500. You are close to 1,000 now. You ought to come back with a report on how you are.
Thanks for the inspiration, i hope you are still sober today.
I feel like I'm living through a Groundhog Day at the moment. I'm hoping that I will be sober one day.
