The DSM-5 is not a medical publication. It deals with mental health, so it's not surprising that it would create a definition of "disease" that reflects it's own interests. You should avoid cherry-picking definitions that fit your feelings. By your logic, we all have a sugar disease.

One question to ask yourself is do you WANT to drink 1 beer like a normal person? I know I didn’t. I wouldn’t have been me if I did. Start from who you are.

You should cut the bullshit. I have been observing you for months now. As far as I can tell, you are just using your alcohol drama to gin up views. You don't seem serious about quitting booze.

I had the brilliant idea alcohol would help me sleep through the leg pains that I get when I lay down. Ha. Total opposite. Made me more awake and made my legs feel worse. Gave that up real quick.

Magnesium can help you sleep for real and it's good for you. 400 - 500mg magnesium oxide or magnesium glycinate take about 2 -3 hours before bedtime. Magnesium helps your body make it's own melatonin plus it relaxes your muscles. But it can lower blood pressure some so don't take if on blood pressure meds.

Related to the other comment I made on the hospital video, have you talked to a therapist about getting to the root causes of your anxiety/panic attacks? As you've mentioned, alcohol has been used to get those things out of your head instead of working on them.

I’ve been thinking about you man I hope you are doing well all this is a nightmare but I hope you are doing okay take care of yourself be safe

Top man love your banter..👍👍👍

OK, so yesterday I had only watched that one video. I've watched several of your videos now and I understand why you threw the hat away. Especially from this video, I guess that a negative association was formed. Do you have a video where you go through the different skills/behaviours suggested during therapy (and possibly medication) that you've done (and/or taken) and talked about how successful they were?

Don't compare Alcohol with good things like Shrooms ,Cannabis or Peyote !

Slaayyyeeerr! Im sorry i missed this! I didnt see it pop up in my notifications! I've told you before about my nightmares and the sleep paralysis I experienced, but the insomnia totally resonates with me as well! It took a little time for my sleep patterns to fall back in order. Chamomile helped me a lot. I hope you're doing great. Sending tons of love and well wishes from NY, my friend!! ❤️😊❤

I usually drink a spac a day.. usually want to stop after dat cus I don't want to get drunk jus buzzed think pot helps me wit stopping after a spac and thank goodness I have control of it cus alcoholism runs in my fam 🙏🏻

Glad your home. Gratitude is something i need to practice as well. Keep up the good fight.

My brother was a week shy of his 29th birthday and was a HEAVY drinker. Case a day. We went down to visit my dad and he was shaking the whole drive down to MO. 6.6 hours. Soon as we got there he collapsed and had a seizure. Thankfully he was as okay to the point he got to the hospital. No joke though, the next day he was back to pounding beers. After we begged him to go to the hospital and get checked out he was fine bloodwork wise but the doctors said he would have issues if he kept down the same path. Well… about 3 months later he committed suicide. So as far as the demonic aspect, I believe that totally. He lost his mind and I miss the heck out of him. Be strong everyone

Fucking feel you dawg. I remember earlier this year I woke up went straight to the dispensary bought a strong edible and the high wasnt good enough so I drove right back and bought a cart and I lied to the person working saying I lost the edible but in reality my tolerance was so high I needed something stronger and got a live rosin cartridge which is the strongest shit they have

I had sleep hypnosis ever since i was young for years and before i was heavy into drugz and drinking

Just gonna say this : forgiveness. Forgive yourself, but forgive others to. I know forgiving others is hard, but its something we must do. Im not in your shoes and I dont know the full story, but give it a try. It might help.

Damn I knew alcohol withdrawal was bad but I watched a few if your vids and I had no idea it was this brutal good shit on a week sober. I'm dealing with a very serious weed addiction and this last month the weed alone just hasn't been doing it so I've been drinking some alcohol before hand before I smoke and man that feeling of being cross faded is something else. Im a real lightweight so I'm not drinking a lot just enough to get a nice buzz but I think finding your channel is a sign that I need to quit before I get too deep into it I got a real addictive personality

Love you brother. Im in the grips of stuff too. Youll fight through. Keep making content. Youre doing a great service!

Good too see you Slayer, one day at a time 👍👍

These terrible hangover nightmares... I dreamed of spiders on the walls, small worms crawling in my mouth, some old people, gypsies, cats, flies - and all this at the same time like a terrible crazy kaleidoscope - I sometimes woke up with a wild scream turning into a howl , all wet from stinking sweat in a bed that smelled of spilled beer, cigarette butts and dried shit...

Smoke 🚬 😶‍🌫️ some weed ❤

It’s ok you are awesome and the fact that u got help is amazing to me I have been sh ing for a year now and the only one that knows is my best friend and you guys now I hope u r doing ok I’m glad you’re still here with us

Bro….Brrrrrother……Brosiff!!! The road to sobriety is paved with speed bumps,that’s all! I understand you feel low but ya gotta keep going and keep trying!! I was in detox or the hospital 5 times in about 2-1/2 at one point, and In a couple months I’ll have 3 years sober. Never give up!!! We’ll all pray for you because you’ve reminded me how lucky I am for where I’m at so thank you!! God bless!!

Thanks for sharing. Takes a lot of humility to be honest and share this. And humility is in very short supply.

You do look good with that hat on! Didn't quite get why you threw it away, but perhaps next time you could store it and use it again after x months of being sober or something like that (or at least give it away at a Googwill or similar).

I seen that head shake and I felt that. I have been in the ER for drinking 1 time and they took my trash can away because they said suicidal.

One day at a time Slayer , your videos have really helped me with my path in Sobriety. Much love from the uk 🙏🙏🙏

Hey Slayer ! Good to hear from you.. glad you’re doing well?? Best wishes for you. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🙏🙏

Do you have any thoughts on xxx videos ? I’m been struggling with pron and alcoholism and they both seem to put me in a “lower vibration” where I have horrible dreams and such. I feel a lot of the spiritual stuff you say, I feel demonic

Look up a video called "Trainspotting Withdrawal scene" It's from a movie, but man I had the hallucination of a baby on the ceiling once, it was horrifying.😂

Bro, sometimes it's like I'm rewatching myself, listening to myself on these videos!! 😂 Just being honest, My late 20's and early 30's was mayhem. These videos bring flashbacks. You are on the right track, at least you acknowledge you have a serious problem that's life or death. Keep fighting! And, thank you for This video, as it serves a reminder to someone older like me. 🙏 God Bless #Gratitude

the sleep stuff is really the worst part. At least it does get better relatively quickly

Hey man, I posted this on another video of yours but thank you for sharing. As a former alcoholic that has been where you are - have you ever given Kratom a shot? Like really given it a few months while you're sober from everything else? I never had any addiction to opioids but Kratom has been instrumental in keeping me sober from alcohol for 3 years now and I never thought I'd be able to crawl my way out. For me, my compulsive drinking was stemming from the feelings of wanting to quiet my mind and take the edge off after a long day and I found that Red Maeng Da Kratom (I take the capsules instead of the powder) scratches about 80% of that itch. It's not quite the same as booze but for about 80% of the effects it's infinitely cleaner and much less destructive for you and I found myself taking about 5g-10g a day (after working my way up over 2 years). It's been a miracle for me and as long as you do your research (i.e. order from a trusted AKA approved vendor, make sure they lab test - no gas station/smoke shop bunk) it's a much healthier and functional addiction for me. I don't get hangovers, it doesn't impact my bloodwork (which I test 4-6 months), it doesn't fuck my liver up. If you're in this kind of way please consider giving it a shot instead.

5 or 6 days is a vague number. Personally I would know the exact number ! At least you got your own room, You wouldn't get that in Blighty's (envy of the world ) the NHS .

Is not a: "it might kill you," IT WILL.

Bro, watched your prior video and now this one and Im not trying to be critical of you, but it sounds like you need a different approach. All these videos are filled with metaphors (definition of insanity blah blah), and then you mention things like God, demons and the devil. Maybe you need to stop making these videos for a while because they clearly arent helping you and you might influencing others to relapse as well. The hat is the issue now? Maybe you need to hit up an actual church and seek God. Without Him, the devil has already won. You will have bad days, crap days, it’s about changing behaviors. The power and strength you need is there. It is Jesus Christ. You need spiritual guidance and the influence of people in a church setting. You have bad days? Anything like what Jesus went through?? You are forgiven if you ask. Your debt has been paid by Him and you have to forgive yourself.

That’s once physical sign of why alcohol is a poison. It horribly interrupts your sleep, which is the main thing you absolutely need for a healthy brain, energy for the next day, and to regulate your body and emotions. I mean, Im almost 5 years into sobriety, and the moment I think about alcohol and drinking, I immediately think about the hangover and anxiety, and how my sleep use to be terrible. And I immediately get turn off by alcohol. I can’t believe I had traded my health for alcohol all those years! Once you get years of sobriety, it’s way easier to stay sober. You just have to enjoy the benefits for a long long consistent period lf time to know you never want to drink again. And Now, my head can hit the pillow sober and Ill be dead asleep in 10mins👌

feel free to tell me I'm wrong but maybe there is something going on with your home life / social that keeps coming up and contributing to your relapses... Have you thought about moving out or maybe working a seasonal job somewhere? maybe starting over somewhere out of state temporarily could help you alot - it helped me. there's recourses out there like coolworks and shit that can get you a new job and a place to stay. something to think about.

Your crazy dream reminds me of this story by MrBallen. Do you know about MrBallen? He's a great story teller. But the story is called "What I saw in my room still haunts me." Check it out if you want.

Congrats on your sobriety. Good lord those were some nightmares. Sleep aid >>> Maybe Try a banana and 2 kiwi -- makes me good and drowsy --- Valerian root Tea will make ya drowsy too but speak to an MD before trying Valerian. I hate to see you start sleeping pills TBH bec then we may tell ourselves we can't sleep without pills. That's a loss of freedom. -- walnuts I think will make you sleepy too. **Exposure to EARLY morning sun, directly into your eyes is supposedly good for re - set of circadian rhythm & supports normal sleep. Can relate to the sleeplessness --- horrible. Loads of info online about sleep issues. Great Vid kiddo --- Thank you

Longer the better. I save a bunch of your videos to my watch later and listen while doing stuff. It is a big help. Thanks, Slayer. IWNDWYT.

Insomnia is the number one reason people give up on quitting. ❤

I love your topics and areas you discuss things! They're so helpful and down to Earth! I mean...alcohol literally saved lives back in "olden" times because it was the only available source of liquid that had been distilled to the point of killing bacteria and other things. You'd rather have a pint of beer than a pint of water because the water would literally destroy your insides because it was just gathered from a shit-infested river.

Trying to stop the drink its got a little out of hand when i retired..only had a couple of drinks over the last thee weeks and weekend only but man my sleep is horrific during the week i just cannot sleep and when i do the dreams are never happy 😱
