I lost my job today and I have health issues because of alcohol and have severe anxiety and depression and not spending time with my family and just lost money to gambling also. Someone did tell me today that if I stay sober I will get my life back. Wish me luck because I’m ready for change. Day 2
@@Ditto463 thanks for asking. I had bad relapses but on New Year’s Eve I hit rock bottom because of health issues and now I’m sober almost 5 months. I’m definitely doing much better in life now and it’s a long Journey
@@davida7559 I’m sorry you had to hit rock bottom David but well done for getting back up there! I’ve stopped since New Year’s Eve too. It is hard sometimes isn’t it? But every single morning I wake up and think ‘ I’m so glad I didn’t drink yesterday’. What an amazing achievement! No matter how tricky it gets, nothing but nothing can be as miserable as daily heavy drinking is. Keep going! 👍👍
@@Ditto463 I agree ☝️ it’s just not worth it. Most people are miserable at this bars and Waisting their life’s over a bottle. It’s good to wake up in the morning and not feel sick and feel like crap and start drinking right away so you can get well. I look back now it gives me goosebumps. How pathetic was I to do this to my self. I’m way better then that
21 years sober one day at a time. My desire to stay sober consistently outweighs my desire to drink and continue ruining my life. Everyday sober is a successful day.
5 days sober , in 2021 I accepted that I was addicted , the longest i went without drinking was 6 days and that was 1 time. It’s Jan 5th and it’s my 5th day sober , today was very hard but I’ve made it through another night sober ❤️♥️
15 days sober and felt like giving up today. Thank u for sharing you story.I have put this addiction above everything myself my career my family. I’m taking it one day at a time . Hoping to make it past my last 83 days sober. Every relapse gets worse.pray for me to make it my first goal of 90 days
When the strong feeling of quitting any addiction comes from within you, not only you’ll quit the addiction but also never relapse. More strength to you and love and support!
Relapse is the worst thing, After 3 months of abstinence, I somehow find myself in this dark place AGAIN, all that trust built with family and friends diminished in just a few days, it really sucks beyond anything, may God help us.
I’m literally in the exact same boat man. I’ve been dancing with the devil again for 2 months after 5 months sober. I’ve completely became undone in 2 months... the disappointment is almost to much to bare. Hang in there and god bless
I’m 33 years old and I’m a recovery alcoholic. I love alcohol and I been sober for 3 years I’m going to make 4 years on February of next year. Being sober is one of the hardest thing I have done in my life. Going to be honest with you I hate it because nothing good I have got out of it!! NOTHING! The reason I’m staying sober is because I want to show people that the only way you stay sober is if your happy if not then go back to it. There’s three things I go for with my life 1) there’s no God 2) no friends 3) no family in this all those three things will drown you! Especially God he’s after you he’s ready to drown you to the ground!
October 30th, 2021 Is my sober date (72 days - Sober from Alcohol), Addiction is powerful and the fact it doesn’t care or have any preference is scary, it needs to be lived through and then transcended. I’ve been trying to go back to when I was a kid. Back to the roots to have the strength (vulnerability) to be who I am today, without guilt and shame weighing me down and drowning everything else in alcohol. No longer am I trapped inside a bottle. 🙏
You can do this! A strong feeling from within that alcohol or any addiction is NOT helping you in any way helps you quit. It helps you not only quit but never relapse. The feeling should be genuine and from within and then you can do that! More strength to you and love and support.
I went to rehab last year and still had some relapses (just had a 5 day bender after 8 moths sobriety. 4 days sober again as I write this). Understand that this shit is a lifelong disease that will never get better no matter how much you want it to. It will just get worse and worse as time goes by. There is no moderation, and that little evil voice in your heard will try to convince you that you were not that bad, that you have changed and can handle it again. Do NOT listen to it. It's your chemically altered mind telling you to drink again. Be very aware of the 3 stages of relapse: emotional, mental, and physical. I have tested the moderation BS and now I know it will never work because it always turns back into relapses and benders eventually. Once you get to the stage of going to rehabs your alcohol days have to end permanently. I learned that the hard way. Good luck to you with your sobriety. It's the hardest shit I have ever dealt with.
oh man, 2 days sober for me now.. got fired for being an incoherent drunk 2hrs before my shift ended. A celebratory drink is not possible for addicts. Goodluck on sobriety and regaining employment.
Everyone who is an addict doesn't wake up and say hey I hate myself so much that I want to be an addict. NO!! We addicts are all the same Its our stories that are different. Im so proud of you man. Keep fighting the hard ass good fight my man. Love and best wishes.
Thanks Rodney, I know how you feel. I am struggling so much at the moment and feel so alone. It's hard to see a way out. Keep up the good work my friend. 111 days clean and sober is awesome xx
Best story i ever heard. Thank you sir. Well spoken and clearly explained. I too was in that pit. But not anymore thanks be to the Lord. Rodney im standing in with you
I hear and feel you brother. Im an alcoholic, I lost EVERYTHING. Alcoholism sucks, we are all different, but we are all the same. Much love bro, Im so sorry you went through that.
Thank you Rodney…your story made me cry…we as we speak are going through this with an adult child…they’ve been drinking since their early twenties…now 38…this adult child admits out loud that they are an alcoholic…but the beast is taking them down a rabbit hole fast…we have tried and tried to help in anyway we can…being supportive…but in the end we know they have to be the one…so painful to watch…😔…but thank you for your experience your story…how are you today? Take care…
Thank you! I see this similar behavour again and again, especially with male friends. Instead of hiding behind pain, that becomes anger/sadness, let it out!
August 9, 2022 is my recovery date🙏🏽 I’ve lost so much due to drinking after being introduced to a alcoholic my life has been in shambles, i pray for healing, support, and happiness.
I am in my 60s now a retired nurse, my father was a drunk he kicked the shit out of my Mother I hated him left home went into the world, I got a call from him I had just qualified he did not know my birthday or age. Mum left him and made her life anew. Sorry but as a kid growing up I hated his guts. It is the ruination of families. Massive respect and love to anyone who can kick this vile habit. Blessings to all. My dad never gave it up it gave him up, he died horribly. I found out a year after he had died. My mum took his mother in she was broken poor darling, she always defended him naturally. But I was happy to spend time with her he stole of her and abused her but she still loved him. I respected her so much. Drink spreads its poison to not only the alcoholic. I pray for anyone struggling keep at it.
The las toast hits home for me. I just got in a fight a couple of nights ago and got jumped. Someone stepped in and stopped them, but man I could’ve been far worse than I am now if this angel didnt have a good heart. I’ve been drinking for 14 years now and it’s getting bad. This video made me tear up because this is where im heading and im a little scared. I need to drop all of my walls and let the little kid in me grow up now.
Rodney, I understand your pain. I immigrated to NY from Ireland when u was 8 yrs old. Unfortunately I fell into acholism like many of my family members. We can do better! I'm 4 months sober and struggle everyday bc of my bi polar and schizophrenia but with treatment and the will to move on we can make it. Much love from uptown Queens ❤
I Love You Rodney brother and I have the most respect for your vulnerability. I am my self going through my denial stages. I’ve done ALOT of wrongs in my life. Hearing Your testimony caught my attention….. 💯
I stopped drinking best thing I ever did… I hid a lot of problems from myself… quitting was very difficult because I didn’t wanna face my real day-to-day problems. Everything from slight anxiety to high anxiety to hyperactive. The list can go on and on but alcohol exacerbated everything once I quit alcohol alcohol everything was manageable. It was quite amazing and that’s what they promised. I asked for help and I got freedom from bondage. Couldn’t believe it.
Hats off to you. Hope you are okay. Life is strange. The more we are hurt by others/parents, the more we hurt ourselves as adults. We believe we are not good enough. Heartbreaking.
Jesus will save you if you cry out to him there’s no better feeling than the love of of Jesus his love is beyond human understanding it is better than any drug or material in this world I hope you find Jesus ☺️💯
It's rough! I lost my wife and kids year's ago. My older brother is a bad alcoholic and so am I. I was clean for about a year because I got a DUI. I felt so great and met a woman but after about a year I started back because I couldn't deal with her stress and drug usage. We split up and ever since I can't quit drinking because I gave her my heart and found out a lot of stuff about her later that was evil to be honest. But I am going to clean myself up and stop drinking once and for all!
This man is incredible. Such an impactful story and such a sad one. I am very late to this story I hope his is positive this far along. He is inspiring.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am dealing with alcoholism and can relate to your story completely. You have encourage me to change and take the next step. I myself have created 3 personalities and can relate 100%
If you have to go in debt to save your own life. Do it. If you need to go to rehab or get away for a period of time. Do it. But one thing i ask is tell at least someone close your situation. Itll put yours and your families mind at ease
An update from me 9/29/20 I’m 14 days sober but I ended up losing quite a bit including my job and a lot of respect from my peers feel like an idiot but all I can do now is hold on to my sobriety... so there is hope just quit while you are ahead and if you are past that point it could always be worse don’t go that far into it ... much love
@@22ron81 What a co-incidence. M also 14 days sober. I was amongst the best sub-editors in my town, earning respect and fame. Gradually I fell prey to alcohol. Gradually lost all the respect I hardly earned. We are so stupid
@@rakeshlourembam145 You're not stupid, many people struggle with this. It's just the way it is. Whoever thinks you're stupid, let them try to fight their way out of alcohol and they'll learn to respect you because it is simply not as easy as it looks. Keep you head high! (pun intended lol ;)
Rodney, your story is a very strong message my friend. So much of your story is so familiar to my own. I have a story that I know could a lot of people, at least, I pray it could. I just don’t know how to get it out there but I know telling my story would help my own self even more. I’ll give you much respect my friend.
Your story is yours. No one can take that away from you, but you chose to give it. The impact is real because you are, bless the people whose lives you can save, because you chose to save yours first
My Dad just had a grand mal seizure from his alcoholism a month ago and is back pounding the brown liquors again. I don’t know what to do. Plus he has terrible PTSD from his contractor days and Service time. I feel lost and helpless.
Hello guys I'm an alcoholic and I'm only 25...i need help to quit I don't have money for rehab and I drink maybe once a month and when I do drink I lose my belonging and sleep in the streets please help
I had to go to Detox to get clean of alcohol the cleaning didn't last long I relapsed shortly after detoxed again this time accompanied by homelessness living in a shelter was no a safe and stable environment it is what it is third time around I detoxed and took it serious these aids put themselves out there to help and I had to do my part too. So I surrendered to my addiction detoxed did the 28 day and went to extended rehab I'm now grateful and recovering.
It's hard to explain the literal hell of having to drink to stay alive. Drinking, passing out, puking, drinking again over and over. No hope. Praying for death. Now when I see them buying booze in the morning with that look, the look I suffered with. I want to hug them, pray with them, give some type of help. I cried when I watched this. It takes a big person to make a change, to turn it over to God. God bless you Rodney.

"Strength" is NOT required to get and stay sober. That's why so many people fail. Recovery is dependent on "Surrender", and "Willingness". Peace! Mark

Hopefully won't tomorrow either.

My Dad just had a grand mal seizure from his alcoholism a month ago and is back pounding the brown liquors again. I don’t know what to do. Plus he has terrible PTSD from his contractor days and Service time.
I feel lost and helpless.
Call out to God plz!
Take him to rehab and pray to god

I had to go to Detox to get clean of alcohol the cleaning didn't last long I relapsed shortly after detoxed again this time accompanied by homelessness living in a shelter was no a safe and stable environment it is what it is third time around I detoxed and took it serious these aids put themselves out there to help and I had to do my part too. So I surrendered to my addiction detoxed did the 28 day and went to extended rehab I'm now grateful and recovering.
It's hard to explain the literal hell of having to drink to stay alive. Drinking, passing out, puking, drinking again over and over. No hope. Praying for death. Now when I see them buying booze in the morning with that look, the look I suffered with. I want to hug them, pray with them, give some type of help. I cried when I watched this. It takes a big person to make a change, to turn it over to God. God bless you Rodney.
Thanks Rodney helped me alot.
Well Done Rodney
