I agree with both things you said haha, booze is definitely way worse than weed and yea 18 does seem to young bro. Appreciate your comments brother always, be easy my friend.
Gotta understand that alcohol is something that shouldn't be put inside the human body if you smell liquor it burns your nose. Love you man you don't need this shit ever again in your life when you step away from it long enough just the thought of it may even make you feel sick 💯 you got a higher purpose bro you got this, I know you can come to the realization or already have 💪
Cool man on the month. For me, I'll have 60 days on the 23rd. If Slayer says he's an alcoholic. He's an alcoholic, people. Only the alcoholic can make that decision - or a doctor. Is Slayer's brain a human brain? Good. Because his brain, no matter his age is just as susceptible to being addicted to alcohol because alcohol is an addictive substance. Sorry to hear about this young guy. I'd say I didn't become "alcoholic" until I was 34.
Hey thanks shades!!! I appreciate this comment brother!!! Thank you for saying it how it is. Y’all always understand me, it’s a really cool thing. Congratulations on almost two months man, that is a huge milestone and something you should be incredibly proud about. Keep the momentum, stay the pace and so will I. One day at a time man, god bless.
Hi Slayer! You’re not too young. As a nurse I have encountered young patients with liver cirrhosis in their early 30’s. And I have seen them pass. It’s extremely sad . They started to drink at a young age. Young kids have access to alcohol. I have been asked to buy alcohol for minors at convenience stores! Tragic indeed. Poor young man slayer I’m happy you have achieved 30 days sober. Congrats it’s not easy ! You mean a lot to us. Good to see you tonight. Big hugs from TX 💚🤟
Hey Mona!! You are 100% right! It seems like people are getting younger and younger developing those problems. It’s insane!! I appreciate the kind words, god bless you!! Hope you’re doing well!! 🙏🖤
What an important topic, Slayer!! And such a sad story. I'll be praying for that boy...🙏🙏 Congratulations on 30 days!! Im glad that being busy is helpful, but make sure not to burn your candle at both ends, my friend!! ❤🙏❤️😊
Appreciate those prayers Amanda 🖤🙏 thank you so much. I think prayers have power. Also thank you!!!! 🙌 you are definitely right about the candle Analogy though. It needs to be a fine balance, because being too busy can be a negative and send us into possible relapse. So far it’s working really well for me, I still have some free time and I know that the IOP is 16+ weeks long but eventually that will come to an end. Just trying to go with the flow and stay positive 🙏 Much love to you Amanda!! Hope you’re having an amazing weekend!!
@Slayer-7373 exactly, Slayer!! And I get that. You're taking advantage of the IOP while you have it, and for that, I applaud you!! Im sure it's been helpful!! Well, I'll be thinking about you, sending that young man prayers, sending you prayers, and just rooting for you!! Send some prayers my way, too!! My new (3rd) job officially starts on Thursday!! If it works out, then I'll be able to start looking at my cards and shifting them. Much love right back at you, my friend! ❤️😊🙏❤️
How Horrible! Didn't have my 1st drink until 19. Drank for 34yrs before finally quitting 3yrs ago and I am still here. Life very often is truly unfair.
It truly is horribly Richard…. 😔. Congratulations on the 3 years though my friend, that is pretty incredible and something that I look up to!! Life can definitely be unfair at times….. crazy world we live in man. God bless 🙏
I lost my best friend to alcohol they found him in his hot car after about two weeks with a empty vodka bottle in his hand after two weeks in a hot car in 100 degree weather they would not even let us identify the body it was so bad they just showed us pitchers of his tattoos I still think about him all the time and the way he died to alcohol very sad. he was only 28 years old with a 2 year old child.
I'm recalling docu's from 20/20 or Frontline, where they followed ppl trying to some degree to recover from AUD, some of whom were in their twentys, interviewing them. Then at the end of the program, there'd be an update saying that so-and-so died a couple of months later, failing to stop. Pretty graphic!! Slayer , so glad on the 30 days, and this video...stuff very few talk about!!! Be well man !! ✌️ ✌️ 🤘
I became a alcoholic at 20 years old . I drank for a year straight until I got pregnant & stopped then I started drinking again on the weekends for years . Ended up getting pregnant again 4 years later ,After I had my baby I was in a relationship that had me depressed everyday & i had to deal with him so I drank to even be around him . Then from one day to another I started drinking everyday, everyday that passed I said tomorrow I won’t drink after 9 weeks straight I lost count & started getting sharp pains in my stomach I started to get worried , that still didn’t stop me . I prayed to god please help me beat this addiction I can’t do this alone no matter the pain I still drank . I ended up finding out that I was pregnant with my third child , that helped me stop and I had no problem. I know it would be wrong to drink & I wouldn’t dare . If it wasn’t for my baby I probably still would be drinking and be deeper in my addiction thank god I’m sober & i don’t remember how alcohol feels . I Can be around it & im okay .
Congratulations on 30 days! Glad you are especially trying to reach younger people who may think their bodies are bullet proof from the effects of alcohol just cuz they’re young. Great work!! 😊👏Prayers for D that he gets a second chance. 🙏🙏
Hey thanks so much Kathryn!!! 🙏🖤, you are 100% right about the bullet proof comment. I definitely thought I was for a long time. Alcohol is not only physically dangerous in the fact that it’s poison, but it’s also so dangerous because so many drive drunk, including young kids. God bless you and thank you!!! 🙏
Man this is crazy. I started drinking at 18 too. Im 26 drank more than people I know around my age in my town that died of alcohol. I can't help to think maybe there was some underlying health issues with this kid if its not then that's more insane and tragic. I want you to give an update on this young man. When you know I hope the best for him 20 is to young to go. I'm so incredibly lucky to be alive there's definitely a reason for it take care man
Hey man I know right?? When I heard this it blew my mind. I will definitely give y’all an update bro don’t even worry. There is definitely a reason you are still here!!!! God bless and thanks man. 🙏💯
My first encounter with alcohol poisoning was shortly after I turned 19. I'm sure there are many people who skirt that edge around the same age, maybe even younger, but it can happen to anyone. I'm genuinely lucky af to be alive. I don't even know how I lived through it when stronger, smarter people than myself died much younger. I wish the best to anyone who sees this. Alcoholism and/or drug dependency is Hell. I would actually wish this on my worst enemy, but that's because I'm hella vindictive lol and I know the struggle.
This comment is powerful bro lol, but so true. It trips me out thinking about that type of stuff. I think about my good buddy who died some years back on his bike. He was a good dude, 22 years old. The world is a strange place my friend…..
longest sobriety for me was 2 days... congrats all of you guys for going 20-30 days, that is so great - i am just reading on internet now that it takes 4 weeks for the liver to recover fully and probably even more for the brain to reconstitute function which was lost, like i can my speech abilities diminished after half year of drinking..i want to fully stop also, drinking pepsi instead, sugar and caffeine are not good but not as worse, later will drop pepsi too; i was fired for alchool, a first and i hope/plan the last. cheers to all
Hey that’s okay, don’t beat yourself up. I completely understand I was like that for YEARS. I couldn’t go more than 1-2 days without going right back to the liquor again, I drink soda as well it helps with the cravings. Some times a medical detox or rehab is necessary for you to break out of the vicious cycle. Don’t coke turkey if you get horrible withdrawal. Just know you can do it!!! You just need to map out a plan and stick with it, it starts with what do I need to do to stay sober today?? Then tomorrow you ask yourself the same question and do whatever you have to. God bless you, keep me updated 🙏
20 days is incredible bro!!!! 💪💪 If no one else has told you let me say I’m proud of you!!! I know how hard that is, you are on the right path. One day at a time my friend!! God bless
Hey thanks so much datone, my brotha!! 🙏 7 months is absolutely incredible man, I really mean that. I’m proud of you 👏 keep doing what you’re doing because it’s working bro. God bless.
Hey Richard that is absolutely incredible brother!!!! If no one has told you yet let me tell you I’m proud of you man! I know it’s not easy, it’s extremely tough. Stay the course soon a week will turn into 2, then a month and so on. One day at a time 🙏
Slay the other day I said to our almost 20yo I think your generation as people look back on it as the “lonely generation” He agreed. First gen to grow up with literally the internet. He’s an old soul
100%, I feel like I grew up in the last generation that still somewhat cared about going outside. I definitely played tons of video games as a kid but it seemed balanced with that and going outside and actually being a kid. Nowadays kids have phones when they are 10, it’s crazy! It’s definitely lonely.
@@Slayer-7373 yeah … it’s good that “R” had lots of both… inside & out Friend group good but then u can raise a model student, athletes it’s the luck of the draw
“R” learned addiction thru me. I brought him to my meetings when he was geeze Idk 10yrs old and higher. He lost his Uncle/ my bro to addiction. I’d like to say I broke the generational curse.. ends with me. We drink water We are so lame It will take me again if I’m not diligent. Yeah if my drug was alcohol I’d be dead.. to easy to get That’s me with koke scared af I think the same way Slay Pot fd my brain up!! Look how much $ Matt Perry spent on K
Some people have really bad liver genetics. Its sad, most guys can drink for 10-20 years before developing serious issues, but a 20 yo with liver failure just sucks man.
Yes that’s often the sad reality of stories similar to this one. It’s really hard to say a lot the times what kind of drinker you are till it’s too late. Appreciate the comment my friend, thank you and god bless 🙏
Lil bro.... great job. Super proud of your progress. Keep it up!! Remember me in your prayers please. I haven't had any success lately. Maybe a day or three at the most. I know I have to get rid of the old habit. I don't want to die early. Again thank you. Keep up the good work..... peace.
Hey Jerome prayers out to you right now brother……. 🙏 just keep trying brother, just keep trying. Don’t stop, don’t give up and you will get it! I promise you man. It’s a battle, a real battle. Please keep me updated man, god bless. 🙌
My son RON started drinking around age 16. He got his driver's license and turned to a wild man. Deceased at the age of 40. If I was a betting person, I'd bet your sisters' friends dad was likely never in the picture. If so, perhaps inconsistently. Most responsibility piled on the mom.....which led her to alcohol and the ball started rolling. Purely a guess on my part. I wish you success going forward. It truly is hard to give up. You really have to Choose sobriety. Prayers for D.
Ron’s story truly hurts me 💔 😔 I’m so sorry Ron’s mom. I appreciate your comments always!!! You always uplift me!! God bless you and thank you for the prayers 🙏
Many parents introduce kids because they want a “partner” to use with. My uncle who is closer to me in age than my mom introduced my brother & cousin to Koke, pain meds. Who does that?
Your never to young to be an addict. I've been drinking 30 beers a day for 4 years. Day 2 sober I just had to quit, in benzo detox, I was, dying alcohol neuropathy that hurt so bad in arms and legs and feet going numb, if i kept drinking I would be in a wheelchair soon unable to walk. Fully done with this poison.
Absolutely kuhzzy addiction does not care about your age. Congratulations on the 2 days brother!!!! 💪 if no one else has told you yet man I’m proud of you. I’m extremely proud of you, take your life back. Remember where that poison leads you, every single time! Keep the course my friend. God bless
I was a fullblown alcoholic at 15year old..i drank aftershave and frontscreen cleaner when i couldn't find anything else..my parents was in total denial and also tought someone so young couldn't be an alcoholic..So they didnt act on it..Guess it's sum kinda self defense parents does..They look back just as confused as i was now.
This is a powerful moment bro, damn I’m sorry you’ve been through that chaos. I can totally relate to the thing with your parents, mine were in denial for a long time as well. God bless you bro.
Congratulations on 30 days brother.. Great work! Addiction doesn't have an age.. A close female friend of mine died at 31 years old from alcoholism. Organs failed.. Kentucky Gentlemen Whisky constantly. She would not accept help..
Hey thanks so much bro 🙏💪! I’m sorry to hear that man…. Alcohol is just so f^*ked up….. unfortunately that’s not such an uncommon story. God bless you brother, hope you are doing well man. 💯🙌
Humbly crying out to Jesus is the ONLY way to be completely s free from addiction. Addiction is NOT a disease. It is a stronghold from Satan in a persons life. Jesus can and will set the captive free indeed, no matter what the addiction. Jesus heals completely and gives new life to those who call on him in sincerity and complete surrender. You can trust Jesus, who alone is faithful and true, only believe.
I would binge drink to the point I would poison my brain from being able to send a message to my heart to tell it to beat, it's called Super Ventricular Tachycardia. That was 35, it took another 7 years before a mental diagnosis at 42. I would recommend everyone having a problem with drinking to read/listen to as many topics on psychology as you can. For instance, if you have low self-esteem, there's a process called 'internalisation', that occurs in childhood where the parent 'projects' negative attributes or maybe gets excessively angry for no reason. Learning these key words then gives you the ability to identify the process/program that is unfolding as it's happening so it doesn't trigger you to then go have a drink but to realise 'oh that's why I feel like shit, then you understand clearly whats happening with your emotions. I'm now 48 with alot of these issues worked out and my emotions in control, I'll have 4 standard drinks in a night once a week instead of 30 or 40 every other day.
Thank you so much for speaking on young alcoholics, makes me feel like im not alone in the struggle. It's a bigger problem than people often seem to think. A while back, I had a revelation as to why I drink like I do. I had a dream that it was the day of my wedding and I was nervous to go through with it, but then in the dream my fiancé noticed I was anxious and held me, when she did I could feel a full body euphoria similar to when I get drunk but it came from a natural source. It was profound. That day when I woke up I realized that the reason I drink is because somewhere down the line I lost the ability to feel loved like I did in the dream, despite having all the love in the world from the people around me and instead of accepting that I am capable and worthy of love, I turn to the bottle as the solution to myself. Stay safe, stay sober ✌️
Hey bro of course 🙏🙏, you don’t have to thank me and I mean that. I’m glad to be here and to help. You are NOT alone, trust and believe me when I say this!! Your revelation is fascinating man. I can relate to that in some ways, i might have to make a video on that. True happiness comes from peace, acceptance and god in my opinion. That buzz from booze is just a temporary high that fades away and stings us on the way out. Stay on this community bro!! Reach out at any time!!! God bless you, keep your head up.🙌💯
Hey Slay, that’s completely devastating, I’m sending prayers and healing energy to D. I hope he gets better and has a chance to make some changes to be able to live. I agree 💯 drugs and alcohol do not discriminate and once its hooks are in you have to fight with all of your being to overcome it. On a positive note, I’m so proud of you for staying focus and being louder than the voice telling you to drink when you know it will destroy you once again. I’m sorry you’re dealing with some health issues. Things will turnaround do everything to address your health: body, mind,and soul. Hope is a very powerful thing we can never lose. It’s Saturday morning and I’m watching you send the message out touching so many lives. Thank you thank you!! Take a moment to admire the beauty that was put for all of us to enjoy. I’m a grateful for another day. Take care my friend. Much love 💜 always!
Hey micru!!! 🖤👋 I hope you’re having an amazing weekend!!! I appreciate the prayers so much thank you! I think prayers go a long way I really do. Thank you so much for the positive words micru 🥲, your comments often times keep me going. Much love 🙏🖤
Don’t be a people pleaser. Strive to please God only. The naysayers on this channel need prayer not attention from you. Prayers now for 20 year old salvation to know Jesus. Check on that if you can. Salvation influence is most important thing you can do with your channel.
Or like me...people pleasing CAN be constructive not destructive. I am a Teacher w a degree, PSS , Recovery Coach certification AND cashier/customer service. I give my self an outlet as customer service as pleasing people. I love making pple happy to a faught....door mat, punching bag blahblah THAT is what we need to avoid. It is okay to like to make others happy, better, what have you....we all need some thing.
@@Onelethalangel69 loving and serving people is different than people pleasing. Look up the concept of people pleasing and see if that helps you see what I was trying to communicate.
Hey Slayer, I’m so grateful I found this video. I’ve been really mentally struggling lately and drinking as an outlet. On my second binge in a row. You always bring us back to reality. God bless you bro 💪🏾😢😢
Hey hvndred!!! I’m grateful you found the video as well man. This is exactly why I do these videos, when I read comments like these it shows I’m helping. It helps me just as much to know I’m helping y’all. You are not alone my friend!! Just get back on that horse, don’t ever quit quitting. Keep going you will get it one of these times!! The only way any of us are “failures” is if we completely give up. I’m on your side brotha!!! Keep your head up!!! Keep me updated. God bless 🙏
Hey brother for the cirrhosis symptoms I would check out LD’s channel, liver disease channel. He has cirrhosis and speaks of the early symptoms. He does not have kidney failure though so I googled kidney failure and this is what I found. Whole body: fatigue, high blood pressure, loss of appetite, malaise, or water-electrolyte imbalance Also common: kidney damage, abnormal heart rhythm, failure to thrive, fluid in the lungs, insufficient urine production, itching, kidney failure, severe unintentional weight loss, or swelling. I hope this is helpful my friend, god bless. Be safe 🙏
You are right sir, addiction knows no age. I'm currently 54 and I have liver cirrhosis from drinking. I hope this does not happen to you. It is hell once you get to this stage, and I wish you the best of luck
Absolutely Paul, age doesn’t matter to alcoholism and addiction!! I’m so sorry brother that you have cirrhosis. It’s so common it blows my mind. Thank you so much for this comment, keep your head up my friend. God bless 🙏
Dude. I didn’t do a drug till I was 37. I still haven’t smoked weed. I’m 45 and I’m an addict. Opioids. Haven’t done shrooms, LSD or coke. Just painkillers. It wasn’t till uncorked everything with therapy I was an addict when I was 20 addicted to proving people wrong. Addicted to working out. Addicted to traveling (65 countries & 1st time I left the country was 23). Had a girlfriend addicted to feelings. She couldn’t handle normal. Hope you see this. Coffee, sugar, phones., religion. We all have this empty hole inside us. I hope you find that thing that fulfills that hole. It’s the only way out. Purpose. Find your purpose I really hope u see this. I was addicted to winning over girls. See how many girls I could bring home but wouldn’t have sex. I just wanted the ego boost. You’re gonna be ok. Your mind is open. Just don’t start making deals with yourself.
@@Snikliw you’re 100% spot on and correct man. Powerful comment right here and I can relate to a lot of what you said. Thank you for this wisdom my friend!!!! God bless you!
I have so many things to say but I just want to say I love you and I have your back even though I don't know you. We are on the same path and it is fucking hard. Thank you for posting because it is helping so so much. Stay strong 🖤
Just take responsibility for today. Worry about tomorrow when it gets here. I started drinking at 14, I was an alcoholic by 16 when I was 26 I decided I would just take break, that was almost 8 years ago... And I'm still on break.
Congratulations on your 30 days!! 🎉 So proud of you! It's not easy but it's so worth it. I can't believe the ignorance behind the comment "to young to be an alcoholic." I started at 15 and was absolutely an alcoholic from the first time I got drunk. I qualified for my seat in the rooms by 25. Unfortunately I needed to demonstrate my own powerless for many more years before I finally made it. Sounds like these parents have an addiction themselves possibly. It doesn't excuse their behavior at all but they have a disease as well and this cunning and baffling disease will trick it's host to where you don't even know you have it sometimes. Think about how sick they must be to reach for alcohol while it kills their child. You know the powerlessness. It's maddening. I grew up with addicted parents and I never wanted to be like them; but I ended up that way anyways. There is a genetic component to this disease. I used to feel resentment towards my parents but through working the steps I've come to empathize that they too were sick. They did the best they could but they had an untreated illness so their best just wasn't good enough. It's a sad fact. I am forever grateful to have found recovery. I wish that for every alcoholic and addict who still suffers. Just some advice on your alcohol obsession. Try to stop the fantasies. Especially ruminating on taste, sound (yup, the sound of the bottle cracking or the pour ect), smell, tactile, and the feeling of being inebriated. It's only in your head now but it actually strengthens your obsession and brings you closer to a drink. I was taught early on to catch myself and counter with the reality. I would think about what it was really like. Those horrible moments where you are shaking and drinking straight liquor just to try and stop the withdrawal. Those horrible moments where you are not longer able to move but your brain is perfectly sober. My sponsor always says, play the tape. Also, asking God, the universe, a higher power or whatever to help remove the obsession did work for me. Eventually the obsession becomes occasional intrusive thoughts that can easily be shaken away. Rooting for you every step of the way! ❤
Brother your honesty with this is helping me a lot and will hopefully help my girlfriend a lot when I show her. We’re struggling rn. Congratulations on your sobriety. Please keep making videos and thank you
Hey brother 👋 I’m glad I’m helping man!! That helps me to know I’m helping other people out there. I understand that struggle bro all too well, please keep your head up. Remember no matter what your addiction is putting your through right now that there is always a way out if you want it enough!! I believe in you and your gf, y’all can do it!!!! Reclaim y’all’s lives again because you are worth it!! God bless man and keep me updated 🙏
Take essential fatty acid. Fish oil, etc. That is necessary and has a bonus of reducing all manner of cravings. Stay hydrated. Address thirst and hunger before they become imperative. ~😎 🔴🔵
I spent five years in the hospital setting and saw ages 20 - 35 coming in all the time with cirrhosis of the liver and died in the hospital. Very sad I left the hospital and started working in trades cause I was so depressed watching young adults be taking to their grave way too early. Milk thistle and dandelion root on top of a carnivore diet might help, just depends on the circumstances
❤ You are an awesome person. Age is but a number, and as you said… the addiction doesn’t give a shit to what number you are. great video slayer. Prayers to that young man in hospital. Thankyou for being you! 😊
My is is almost 8. I was one who could dabble with alcohol and didn't get trapped in it. My husband was much less fortunate. It got him. And he died. Part of his death was related to addiction. I have impressed upon our son since he was 5 the dangers of alcohol. I regularly sit down with him to watch TH-cam channels that interview addicts and alcoholics so he can see what can happen when "the fun" is done. The point is, I'm teaching him from knee high to a grasshopper. You have to talk to your kids because if you don't, the media will train them up to embrace a lie. And the thing is, fructose is metabolized in the liver like alcohol and excessive consumption can cause non alcoholic fatty liver disease. 30% of kids aged between five and ten are affected. So, if you grow up pigging out of fruit juice, it's just like alcohol to the liver, and then start pouring alchohol on top of it in your teens, it's not hard to do. Edited to add: Alchohol in my home is limited to wine for the passover, a small amount that on purpose is absolutely disgusting, and whiskey for medicinal purposes: hot toddy for severe viral infection to lessen the risk of complications. My son has grown up with the understanding that alchohol is gonna kill something: you or germs. The small amount we consume for passover is a sacrifice. Not a pleasure.
I admire you for this!!!! We need more parents like you!!! It’s time to change the way we view that poison! Because that’s what it is at the end of the day is straight poison. I’m so sorry about your husband 😔, unfortunately that’s a sad reality of this disease….. it’s brutal and doesn’t care. God bless you, one day at a time. 🙏🙏
I do it from time to time but I try to keep it an bay nowadays. I use to be a giant pot head, weed advocate. All day every day smoker, I have no problems with anyone who smokes or uses 🌱 to get off booze or other hard drugs. I keep it at bay now because I know my personality and most times anymore when I smoke it’s so intense that I don’t feel any need to do it again. I’m definitely open to implementing green back into my routine again. If green completely takes over your life and consumes it then I definitely think it’s a negative. If you can’t function and blow all your money it’s problem. But If you smoke from time to time to chill out and relax, who cares? God bless 🙏🙏
I met a guy, like 22 and he had cirrhosis. He lived on an Indian Reservation, and had some historical ancestors. It is a common thing on the reservation to die young from trauma, and addiction.
Wages of sin is death man. But before death youll be absolutely miserable. An if you die in your sins youll burn in a lake of fire for eternity. Scary thought.
I think when people say your to young they probably mean you have your whole life ahead of you and alcohol has gotten a hold of you which means it will steal your future ! But no alcohol and drugs do not discriminate
i partied end of highschool and into college but never drank by myself or even really cared for booze. if it was there id do it but thats it.. then i started working at a liquor store getting everything at whole sale prices.. within 2 months i was an all day every day drinker. i would get 151 rum ron carlos for like 6 dollars for a liter and that became my personal demon. all day every day.
I’ve heard this story before in meetings brother, someone gets a job at a liquor store. They start getting great prices even some drinks for free. It’s so hard to say no to that type of stuff and then next thing you know like you said you are drinking every night. 151 rum, 100 proof soco and whatever else that will send you into oblivion. Glad you made it out of that mess. God bless 🙏
@@sumshine928 that is so awesome!!!!!! 👏🙌good on you for taking that step for yourself. If no one else has told you let me say I’m proud of you!! Congratulations, keep pushing forward. Take it one day at a time!! Much love!! 🙏
I don’t know your situation brother but I’m sure not all of your family hates you, they most likely want you to be sober. They just want who they know you are deep down inside back. That’s how my family was for years, they just wanted the real slayer back. At times I was 100% convinced they hated me, looking back it was me who hated me. God bless bro, keep your head up. All things are possible through Christ 🙏
@@jacobgarner5593 hey bro it’s alright man, it happens. Don’t beat yourself up, you are already one step ahead of the game. You are seeing it’s a problem, you are seeing it’s depressing you. That’s a start to sobriety bro, turn those 4 cans to 3, then 2, then 1 then maybe just have a regular size beer and then cut it off. I believe in you bro, you can do it.

Doesn't matter the age I was definitely a alcoholic in my mid 20s I quit n been sober at 28 and been sober for 5 years now but it took a told on my health..surgery and all. I mean man I needed a new liver and got 1 but itt change me forever.. Good luck on your sobriety it's possible
I 100% blame the parents of that poor 20 year old, he must have had so much alcohol accessible as a child but didn't understand the consequences. Those parents are killing their son, makes me so mad.
Hey jennine I totally understand. The weekends are rough, I made a video about staying sober on the weekends that you should check out!!! You’ve got to put something positive and fun on your weekends that isn’t drinking. I stay extremely busy on the weekends on purpose, it doesn’t give my mind all that time to wonder and think about drinking or think about how people are out having fun. Sobriety can be fun you just have to fun your fun. God bless, hang in there 🙏
This is awesome man!! I’m glad it gave you some different lenses. It’s hard to see when we are wrapped up in the chaos just how bad it really is for our body and minds. God bless 🙏
I have a saying get sober before your life is over, and it’s for reasons like this, I pray that D is going to be alright, because I believe that it’s not entirely his fault that this happened to him. Alcoholism is scary and it creeps up on you, just like any drug addiction, they’ve done studies and even people that vigorously smoke marijuana have similar withdrawals that alcoholics do, it’s more rare but it still exists. My point is that sobriety is an invisible gift that we’ve been deceived to despise, and we’ve been deceived to despise it because there’s evil people in this world that don’t want other people to be successful and from my experience most people that I have met that have suffered from alcoholism have been very intelligent people. I don’t think that alcohol should be banned, but I wish I knew what I know about alcohol before I turned 21, I’m 29 now and I’m thankful that channels like this exist, because people need to get informed on how bad alcoholism is and how bad it can get.
That saying is excellent man!!! I agree with pretty much everything you said in this comment brother. I’m thankful that it’s helping people, it’s a beautiful thing. God bless you my friend 🙏🙏
Thank you. Thank you for being on youtube. I really needed to hear this today. I feel so bad for that poor young man with organ failure. I have liver disease and chronic inflammation and today I was literally in tears of frustration because I want to walk that 10 minutes and grab beer. I've been physically feeling better and my family are trusting me in their lives again. I have many blessing but this is hard. I'm crying. But I needed to reminded of what could happen to my health if i do pick up-and it happens to me real quick. Keep up your hard work. You actually helped me not walk out that door. I'm nervous to tell AA members how I really feel in case it upsets them so i go on youtube to watch videos like these. I'm 47 days sober and go to meetings 4 times a week. They do help too. God bless you! I believe alcohol is demonic too.
Hey Lynne!! Let me say this I’m so proud of you!!! I mean that I’m extremely proud of you. I know how hard it is especially when you’re struggling like that. I’m so sorry you’re going through all of these problems physically and mentally. I always tell myself when I’m struggling back that “all things are possible through Christ Jesus” remember god is on your side no matter what you’re going through and so am I and this whole community!!! Don’t feel nervous or embarrassed to tell your AA members, if they judge you for being honest then that’s not where you want to be. Do yourself a favor and find a new meeting. You need a place you can be 100% honest, I’m glad you have this community and the very least 🙏🖤. God bless, keep your head up and keep me updated please! 🙏🙏
i’m more than worried about my girl . she has sores on her face now . when she passes out she gets fits in her hands and face . then the next day she drinks again. this is daily . she was 440 when this started now 48 . took 8 years to become a chronic alcoholic. also repeats the same stuff over and over .
I’m so sorry brother that you’re going through this still!! Sometimes someone’s binge lasts years…. There’s only but so much you can do for someone sadly. Please don’t give up on her but don’t waste your life and energy 24/7 on trying to repair someone who doesn’t want the help at the moment. Keep your head up brother, god bless you!! 🙏🙏🙏
if you cant drag her to rehab at least put her on a vitamin B complex with vitamin B1 in doses of 100mg daily. Im kinda worried about her nervous system with those symptoms :(
@@TheSaival unfortunately i sailed to another country as her drinking and behaviour was confronting. but i do care for her and are in contact daily . she tried rehab twice but only lasted weeks and would hook up with guys there . which was heartbreaking but they went no where . all low level shit . she has a place to live in now. but as her drinking continues she either dosnt pay or makes problems
When parents have a drinking problem alcohol is more important than their kids. That’s what happened to that guy. They probably were his drinking partners.
You're doing great things with these messages you are putting out. Keep up the good work I can guarantee you that you are saving lives.
Hey thank you so much Richard 🙏 I really hope so brother, I really hope so. God bless
Addiction is addiction no matter what, at my 20's i realized i am alcoholic, now i am 32 years old recovering addict.
💯facts.
Thank you brother for the comment and for the understanding.
@@TheSlaissi My friend Ernie Villanueva use to say, "Addiction is simply never getting enough of what you don't want."
Booze is way worse than weed. People dont get high and go assault someone etc. The drinking age here is only 18 and that feels too young.
I agree with both things you said haha, booze is definitely way worse than weed and yea 18 does seem to young bro. Appreciate your comments brother always, be easy my friend.
Gotta understand that alcohol is something that shouldn't be put inside the human body if you smell liquor it burns your nose. Love you man you don't need this shit ever again in your life when you step away from it long enough just the thought of it may even make you feel sick 💯 you got a higher purpose bro you got this, I know you can come to the realization or already have 💪
Love you too brotha 💪💯 you are 100% right. These types of comments keep me going. I appreciate that more than you know.
I really hope he can pull through. Could you keep us updated? Two people died near my apartment building from alcoholism it hurt a lot of us here.
Absolutely I will Lynne 🖤🙏, I’m so sorry to hear that as well…. That’s absolutely horrible. Alcoholism is a cruel disease, it really is 😔
Cool man on the month. For me, I'll have 60 days on the 23rd. If Slayer says he's an alcoholic. He's an alcoholic, people. Only the alcoholic can make that decision - or a doctor. Is Slayer's brain a human brain? Good. Because his brain, no matter his age is just as susceptible to being addicted to alcohol because alcohol is an addictive substance. Sorry to hear about this young guy. I'd say I didn't become "alcoholic" until I was 34.
Hey thanks shades!!! I appreciate this comment brother!!! Thank you for saying it how it is. Y’all always understand me, it’s a really cool thing. Congratulations on almost two months man, that is a huge milestone and something you should be incredibly proud about. Keep the momentum, stay the pace and so will I. One day at a time man, god bless.
@@Slayer-7373 Thanks, Slayer.
Hi Slayer! You’re not too young. As a nurse I have encountered young patients with liver cirrhosis in their early 30’s. And I have seen them pass. It’s extremely sad . They started to drink at a young age. Young kids have access to alcohol. I have been asked to buy alcohol for minors at convenience stores! Tragic indeed. Poor young man slayer I’m happy you have achieved 30 days sober. Congrats it’s not easy ! You mean a lot to us. Good to see you tonight. Big hugs from TX 💚🤟
Hey Mona!! You are 100% right! It seems like people are getting younger and younger developing those problems. It’s insane!!
I appreciate the kind words, god bless you!! Hope you’re doing well!! 🙏🖤
What an important topic, Slayer!! And such a sad story. I'll be praying for that boy...🙏🙏
Congratulations on 30 days!! Im glad that being busy is helpful, but make sure not to burn your candle at both ends, my friend!! ❤🙏❤️😊
Appreciate those prayers Amanda 🖤🙏 thank you so much. I think prayers have power.
Also thank you!!!! 🙌 you are definitely right about the candle Analogy though. It needs to be a fine balance, because being too busy can be a negative and send us into possible relapse. So far it’s working really well for me, I still have some free time and I know that the IOP is 16+ weeks long but eventually that will come to an end. Just trying to go with the flow and stay positive 🙏
Much love to you Amanda!! Hope you’re having an amazing weekend!!
@Slayer-7373 exactly, Slayer!! And I get that. You're taking advantage of the IOP while you have it, and for that, I applaud you!! Im sure it's been helpful!! Well, I'll be thinking about you, sending that young man prayers, sending you prayers, and just rooting for you!! Send some prayers my way, too!! My new (3rd) job officially starts on Thursday!! If it works out, then I'll be able to start looking at my cards and shifting them. Much love right back at you, my friend! ❤️😊🙏❤️
@@amandaflaherty7528 prayers being sent your way now!! 🙏🙏
@Slayer-7373 thank youuuu 😊🙏❤️
How Horrible! Didn't have my 1st drink until 19. Drank for 34yrs before finally quitting 3yrs ago and I am still here. Life very often is truly unfair.
It truly is horribly Richard…. 😔.
Congratulations on the 3 years though my friend, that is pretty incredible and something that I look up to!!
Life can definitely be unfair at times….. crazy world we live in man. God bless 🙏
I lost my best friend to alcohol they found him in his hot car after about two weeks with a empty vodka bottle in his hand after two weeks in a hot car in 100 degree weather they would not even let us identify the body it was so bad they just showed us pitchers of his tattoos I still think about him all the time and the way he died to alcohol very sad. he was only 28 years old with a 2 year old child.
😭😭😭😭
This is absolutely horrible, I’m so sorry brother. 😔 brutal…….. sad.
@CalvinMorris-cf8jk oh my word how sad poor guy
I'm recalling docu's from 20/20 or Frontline, where they followed ppl trying to some degree to recover from AUD, some of whom were in their twentys, interviewing them.
Then at the end of the program, there'd be an update saying that so-and-so died a couple of months later, failing to stop. Pretty graphic!!
Slayer , so glad on the 30 days, and this video...stuff very few talk about!!! Be well man !! ✌️ ✌️ 🤘
So sad Craig!! This disease does not care, it’s brutal!!
I appreciate the uplifting words and comment brother!! Thank you, god bless.
I became a alcoholic at 20 years old . I drank for a year straight until I got pregnant & stopped then I started drinking again on the weekends for years . Ended up getting pregnant again 4 years later ,After I had my baby I was in a relationship that had me depressed everyday & i had to deal with him so I drank to even be around him . Then from one day to another I started drinking everyday, everyday that passed I said tomorrow I won’t drink after 9 weeks straight I lost count & started getting sharp pains in my stomach I started to get worried , that still didn’t stop me . I prayed to god please help me beat this addiction I can’t do this alone no matter the pain I still drank . I ended up finding out that I was pregnant with my third child , that helped me stop and I had no problem. I know it would be wrong to drink & I wouldn’t dare . If it wasn’t for my baby I probably still would be drinking and be deeper in my addiction thank god I’m sober & i don’t remember how alcohol feels . I Can be around it & im okay .
I’m glad you go sober 🙏🖤, I know how hard it is. You’re a warrior!!
Congratulations on 30 days Slayer.Thank u for posting this. I'm sure it will help so many who watch it. Take care 🙏🙏
🖤thanks so much Debbie!!! I hope you’re doing well!!!
Congratulations on 30 days! Glad you are especially trying to reach younger people who may think their bodies are bullet proof from the effects of alcohol just cuz they’re young. Great work!! 😊👏Prayers for D that he gets a second chance. 🙏🙏
Hey thanks so much Kathryn!!! 🙏🖤, you are 100% right about the bullet proof comment. I definitely thought I was for a long time. Alcohol is not only physically dangerous in the fact that it’s poison, but it’s also so dangerous because so many drive drunk, including young kids. God bless you and thank you!!! 🙏
Man this is crazy. I started drinking at 18 too. Im 26 drank more than people I know around my age in my town that died of alcohol. I can't help to think maybe there was some underlying health issues with this kid if its not then that's more insane and tragic. I want you to give an update on this young man. When you know I hope the best for him 20 is to young to go. I'm so incredibly lucky to be alive there's definitely a reason for it take care man
Hey man I know right?? When I heard this it blew my mind. I will definitely give y’all an update bro don’t even worry. There is definitely a reason you are still here!!!! God bless and thanks man. 🙏💯
Sudden death in young people has skyrocketed in recent years
I started drinking at 13 years old!! It’s not about age. It’s about accessibility. It can literally happen to anyone!
I’m keeping D in my thoughts and prayers.💞🙏
@@CMoore8539 For real.
Absolutely Cindy!!! Spot on!!! I appreciate the prayers and understanding. 🙏
My first encounter with alcohol poisoning was shortly after I turned 19. I'm sure there are many people who skirt that edge around the same age, maybe even younger, but it can happen to anyone. I'm genuinely lucky af to be alive. I don't even know how I lived through it when stronger, smarter people than myself died much younger. I wish the best to anyone who sees this. Alcoholism and/or drug dependency is Hell. I would actually wish this on my worst enemy, but that's because I'm hella vindictive lol and I know the struggle.
This comment is powerful bro lol, but so true. It trips me out thinking about that type of stuff. I think about my good buddy who died some years back on his bike. He was a good dude, 22 years old. The world is a strange place my friend…..
Hi Slayer! Congratulations on 30 Days! Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.❤ Keep On Keeping On! You got this.
Thanks so much Cindy 🖤🙏💪!
longest sobriety for me was 2 days... congrats all of you guys for going 20-30 days, that is so great - i am just reading on internet now that it takes 4 weeks for the liver to recover fully and probably even more for the brain to reconstitute function which was lost, like i can my speech abilities diminished after half year of drinking..i want to fully stop also, drinking pepsi instead, sugar and caffeine are not good but not as worse, later will drop pepsi too; i was fired for alchool, a first and i hope/plan the last. cheers to all
Hey that’s okay, don’t beat yourself up. I completely understand I was like that for YEARS. I couldn’t go more than 1-2 days without going right back to the liquor again, I drink soda as well it helps with the cravings. Some times a medical detox or rehab is necessary for you to break out of the vicious cycle. Don’t coke turkey if you get horrible withdrawal. Just know you can do it!!! You just need to map out a plan and stick with it, it starts with what do I need to do to stay sober today?? Then tomorrow you ask yourself the same question and do whatever you have to. God bless you, keep me updated 🙏
Congrats man ,I am day 20 can't wait to reach day 30!!
Huge milestone.
a month really is a huge milestone.
20 days is incredible bro!!!! 💪💪 If no one else has told you let me say I’m proud of you!!! I know how hard that is, you are on the right path. One day at a time my friend!! God bless

Slay the other day I said to our almost 20yo I think your generation as people look back on it as the “lonely generation”
He agreed.
First gen to grow up with literally the internet.
He’s an old soul
100%, I feel like I grew up in the last generation that still somewhat cared about going outside. I definitely played tons of video games as a kid but it seemed balanced with that and going outside and actually being a kid. Nowadays kids have phones when they are 10, it’s crazy! It’s definitely lonely.
@@Slayer-7373 yeah … it’s good that “R” had lots of both… inside & out
Friend group good but then u can raise a model student, athletes it’s the luck of the draw

Some people have really bad liver genetics. Its sad, most guys can drink for 10-20 years before developing serious issues, but a 20 yo with liver failure just sucks man.

My son RON started drinking around age 16. He got his driver's license and turned to a wild man. Deceased at the age of 40.
If I was a betting person, I'd bet your sisters' friends dad was likely never in the picture. If so, perhaps inconsistently. Most responsibility piled on the mom.....which led her to alcohol and the ball started rolling. Purely a guess on my part.
I wish you success going forward. It truly is hard to give up. You really have to Choose sobriety. Prayers for D.

Humbly crying out to Jesus is the ONLY way to be completely s free from addiction. Addiction is NOT a disease. It is a stronghold from Satan in a persons life. Jesus can and will set the captive free indeed, no matter what the addiction. Jesus heals completely and gives new life to those who call on him in sincerity and complete surrender. You can trust Jesus, who alone is faithful and true, only believe.
Absolutely purebride, amen 🙏 all things are possible through Christ Jesus right?
I would binge drink to the point I would poison my brain from being able to send a message to my heart to tell it to beat, it's called Super Ventricular Tachycardia. That was 35, it took another 7 years before a mental diagnosis at 42. I would recommend everyone having a problem with drinking to read/listen to as many topics on psychology as you can. For instance, if you have low self-esteem, there's a process called 'internalisation', that occurs in childhood where the parent 'projects' negative attributes or maybe gets excessively angry for no reason. Learning these key words then gives you the ability to identify the process/program that is unfolding as it's happening so it doesn't trigger you to then go have a drink but to realise 'oh that's why I feel like shit, then you understand clearly whats happening with your emotions. I'm now 48 with alot of these issues worked out and my emotions in control, I'll have 4 standard drinks in a night once a week instead of 30 or 40 every other day.
Thank you so much for speaking on young alcoholics, makes me feel like im not alone in the struggle. It's a bigger problem than people often seem to think.
A while back, I had a revelation as to why I drink like I do. I had a dream that it was the day of my wedding and I was nervous to go through with it, but then in the dream my fiancé noticed I was anxious and held me, when she did I could feel a full body euphoria similar to when I get drunk but it came from a natural source. It was profound.
That day when I woke up I realized that the reason I drink is because somewhere down the line I lost the ability to feel loved like I did in the dream, despite having all the love in the world from the people around me and instead of accepting that I am capable and worthy of love, I turn to the bottle as the solution to myself.
Stay safe, stay sober ✌️
Hey bro of course 🙏🙏, you don’t have to thank me and I mean that. I’m glad to be here and to help. You are NOT alone, trust and believe me when I say this!! Your revelation is fascinating man. I can relate to that in some ways, i might have to make a video on that. True happiness comes from peace, acceptance and god in my opinion. That buzz from booze is just a temporary high that fades away and stings us on the way out. Stay on this community bro!! Reach out at any time!!! God bless you, keep your head up.🙌💯
Hey Slay, that’s completely devastating, I’m sending prayers and healing energy to D. I hope he gets better and has a chance to make some changes to be able to live. I agree 💯 drugs and alcohol do not discriminate and once its hooks are in you have to fight with all of your being to overcome it. On a positive note, I’m so proud of you for staying focus and being louder than the voice telling you to drink when you know it will destroy you once again. I’m sorry you’re dealing with some health issues. Things will turnaround do everything to address your health: body, mind,and soul. Hope is a very powerful thing we can never lose. It’s Saturday morning and I’m watching you send the message out touching so many lives. Thank you thank you!! Take a moment to admire the beauty that was put for all of us to enjoy. I’m a grateful for another day. Take care my friend. Much love 💜 always!

hi ...what are the first symptoms of kidney or liver cirrhosis
Hey brother for the cirrhosis symptoms I would check out LD’s channel, liver disease channel. He has cirrhosis and speaks of the early symptoms. He does not have kidney failure though so I googled kidney failure and this is what I found.
Whole body: fatigue, high blood pressure, loss of appetite, malaise, or water-electrolyte imbalance
Also common: kidney damage, abnormal heart rhythm, failure to thrive, fluid in the lungs, insufficient urine production, itching, kidney failure, severe unintentional weight loss, or swelling.
I hope this is helpful my friend, god bless. Be safe 🙏
You are right sir, addiction knows no age. I'm currently 54 and I have liver cirrhosis from drinking. I hope this does not happen to you. It is hell once you get to this stage, and I wish you the best of luck
Absolutely Paul, age doesn’t matter to alcoholism and addiction!! I’m so sorry brother that you have cirrhosis. It’s so common it blows my mind. Thank you so much for this comment, keep your head up my friend. God bless 🙏

Dude. I didn’t do a drug till I was 37. I still haven’t smoked weed. I’m 45 and I’m an addict. Opioids. Haven’t done shrooms, LSD or coke. Just painkillers. It wasn’t till uncorked everything with therapy I was an addict when I was 20 addicted to proving people wrong. Addicted to working out. Addicted to traveling (65 countries & 1st time I left the country was 23). Had a girlfriend addicted to feelings. She couldn’t handle normal. Hope you see this. Coffee, sugar, phones., religion. We all have this empty hole inside us. I hope you find that thing that fulfills that hole. It’s the only way out. Purpose. Find your purpose I really hope u see this. I was addicted to winning over girls. See how many girls I could bring home but wouldn’t have sex. I just wanted the ego boost. You’re gonna be ok. Your mind is open. Just don’t start making deals with yourself.

I started drinking at 14, I was an alcoholic by 16 when I was 26 I decided I would just take break, that was almost 8 years ago...
And I'm still on break.
8 years is incredible man, that’s a huge achievement and you should be proud. I like thinking of it that way, I’m taking a break.
God bless bro 🙏
Congratulations on your 30 days!! 🎉 So proud of you! It's not easy but it's so worth it.
I can't believe the ignorance behind the comment "to young to be an alcoholic." I started at 15 and was absolutely an alcoholic from the first time I got drunk. I qualified for my seat in the rooms by 25. Unfortunately I needed to demonstrate my own powerless for many more years before I finally made it.
Sounds like these parents have an addiction themselves possibly. It doesn't excuse their behavior at all but they have a disease as well and this cunning and baffling disease will trick it's host to where you don't even know you have it sometimes. Think about how sick they must be to reach for alcohol while it kills their child. You know the powerlessness. It's maddening. I grew up with addicted parents and I never wanted to be like them; but I ended up that way anyways. There is a genetic component to this disease. I used to feel resentment towards my parents but through working the steps I've come to empathize that they too were sick. They did the best they could but they had an untreated illness so their best just wasn't good enough. It's a sad fact. I am forever grateful to have found recovery. I wish that for every alcoholic and addict who still suffers.
Just some advice on your alcohol obsession. Try to stop the fantasies. Especially ruminating on taste, sound (yup, the sound of the bottle cracking or the pour ect), smell, tactile, and the feeling of being inebriated. It's only in your head now but it actually strengthens your obsession and brings you closer to a drink. I was taught early on to catch myself and counter with the reality. I would think about what it was really like. Those horrible moments where you are shaking and drinking straight liquor just to try and stop the withdrawal. Those horrible moments where you are not longer able to move but your brain is perfectly sober. My sponsor always says, play the tape. Also, asking God, the universe, a higher power or whatever to help remove the obsession did work for me. Eventually the obsession becomes occasional intrusive thoughts that can easily be shaken away. Rooting for you every step of the way! ❤
🖤🖤🖤beautiful comment with amazing advice. Thank you, god bless
Love you so much ❤️
Hey I love ya too seg 🖤🙏, hope you’re doing well!!!

Take essential fatty acid. Fish oil, etc. That is necessary and has a bonus of reducing all manner of cravings. Stay hydrated. Address thirst and hunger before they become imperative.

Will do brother 🙏 thank you and god bless.
It killed my dad almost killed me and is now killing my son. Thank you for your sharing your story. Btw my dad was 36.❤
😪😔this is heartbreaking, I’m so sorry
I spent five years in the hospital setting and saw ages 20 - 35 coming in all the time with cirrhosis of the liver and died in the hospital. Very sad I left the hospital and started working in trades cause I was so depressed watching young adults be taking to their grave way too early.
Milk thistle and dandelion root on top of a carnivore diet might help, just depends on the circumstances
@@TheCherokeeKidd it’s so sad 😞, but it’s a reality and comments like yours shows it. God bless
Congratulations on your sobrity! Thats major! I have an ex gf who passed away from drinking at 30 years old! 😢😢
😔so sorry to hear this…
❤ You are an awesome person. Age is but a number, and as you said… the addiction doesn’t give a shit to what number you are. great video slayer. Prayers to that young man in hospital. Thankyou for being you! 😊
@@Soberrealitykiwi awe thank you so much Kirsten!!! This is an awesome comment. Much love and god bless!! 🙏🖤
I'm an alcoholic sober now 8 years. Best choice I made in my 42 years on this fucking planet.
That is amazing brother, congratulations my friend. 🙏🙏
My is is almost 8. I was one who could dabble with alcohol and didn't get trapped in it. My husband was much less fortunate. It got him. And he died. Part of his death was related to addiction. I have impressed upon our son since he was 5 the dangers of alcohol. I regularly sit down with him to watch TH-cam channels that interview addicts and alcoholics so he can see what can happen when "the fun" is done. The point is, I'm teaching him from knee high to a grasshopper. You have to talk to your kids because if you don't, the media will train them up to embrace a lie. And the thing is, fructose is metabolized in the liver like alcohol and excessive consumption can cause non alcoholic fatty liver disease. 30% of kids aged between five and ten are affected. So, if you grow up pigging out of fruit juice, it's just like alcohol to the liver, and then start pouring alchohol on top of it in your teens, it's not hard to do.
Edited to add: Alchohol in my home is limited to wine for the passover, a small amount that on purpose is absolutely disgusting, and whiskey for medicinal purposes: hot toddy for severe viral infection to lessen the risk of complications. My son has grown up with the understanding that alchohol is gonna kill something: you or germs. The small amount we consume for passover is a sacrifice. Not a pleasure.
I admire you for this!!!! We need more parents like you!!! It’s time to change the way we view that poison! Because that’s what it is at the end of the day is straight poison. I’m so sorry about your husband 😔, unfortunately that’s a sad reality of this disease….. it’s brutal and doesn’t care.
God bless you, one day at a time. 🙏🙏
10:54 When did you give your opinion about marijuana? I've always been curious about this
I do it from time to time but I try to keep it an bay nowadays. I use to be a giant pot head, weed advocate. All day every day smoker, I have no problems with anyone who smokes or uses 🌱 to get off booze or other hard drugs. I keep it at bay now because I know my personality and most times anymore when I smoke it’s so intense that I don’t feel any need to do it again. I’m definitely open to implementing green back into my routine again. If green completely takes over your life and consumes it then I definitely think it’s a negative. If you can’t function and blow all your money it’s problem. But If you smoke from time to time to chill out and relax, who cares?
God bless 🙏🙏
I met a guy, like 22 and he had cirrhosis. He lived on an Indian Reservation, and had some historical ancestors. It is a common thing on the reservation to die young from trauma, and addiction.
I’ve heard about these things, very sad. 🙏
Wages of sin is death man. But before death youll be absolutely miserable. An if you die in your sins youll burn in a lake of fire for eternity. Scary thought.
Definitely scary….
I think when people say your to young they probably mean you have your whole life ahead of you and alcohol has gotten a hold of you which means it will steal your future ! But no alcohol and drugs do not discriminate
The his is a great point kelli 🙏 god bless you and thank you.
i partied end of highschool and into college but never drank by myself or even really cared for booze. if it was there id do it but thats it.. then i started working at a liquor store getting everything at whole sale prices.. within 2 months i was an all day every day drinker. i would get 151 rum ron carlos for like 6 dollars for a liter and that became my personal demon. all day every day.
I’ve heard this story before in meetings brother, someone gets a job at a liquor store. They start getting great prices even some drinks for free. It’s so hard to say no to that type of stuff and then next thing you know like you said you are drinking every night. 151 rum, 100 proof soco and whatever else that will send you into oblivion. Glad you made it out of that mess.
God bless 🙏
I've been drinking since 13
That is very young my friend.
good to see you back Slay
Hey 👋 it’s good to be back Julio!! God bless man!
My mom went from donating to MADD, to becoming an alcoholic that drinks and drives. Needless to say, she no longer gives a DDAM.
That’s sadly how it goes a lot of the times my friend.
God bless, keep your head up man. 🙏
Congrats on 30+ days! Right here with you man!

The nightmares out of this world, pure hell

My family hates me
I don’t know your situation brother but I’m sure not all of your family hates you, they most likely want you to be sober. They just want who they know you are deep down inside back. That’s how my family was for years, they just wanted the real slayer back. At times I was 100% convinced they hated me, looking back it was me who hated me.
God bless bro, keep your head up. All things are possible through Christ 🙏
I’ve still been drinking bro ! But I’ll only have 4 tall cans at the most ! But honestly it’s been extremely depressing me broooooo
@@jacobgarner5593 hey bro it’s alright man, it happens. Don’t beat yourself up, you are already one step ahead of the game. You are seeing it’s a problem, you are seeing it’s depressing you. That’s a start to sobriety bro, turn those 4 cans to 3, then 2, then 1 then maybe just have a regular size beer and then cut it off. I believe in you bro, you can do it. Remember praying to god always helps as well man. The most high can do anything, god bless 💯🙏

Congratulations on your sobriety 🙏🖤, I’m sorry you had to go through that pain, but hey you are here and that’s what matters. God bless
@@Slayer-7373 Thanks 🌹
A male is still developing at age 20. So sad. :-(.
😔I know right grace?
You are not too young to be a alcoholic young man.I'm so proud of you! 😊Please don't let friends sway your sobriety!
Appreciate this Rebecca 🖤 thank you so much. God bless
I 100% blame the parents of that poor 20 year old, he must have had so much alcohol accessible as a child but didn't understand the consequences. Those parents are killing their son, makes me so mad.
It definitely seems that way unfortunately…. Makes me mad too man trust me.
God bless 🙏
I'm having a hard time not drinking on the weekends
Hey jennine I totally understand. The weekends are rough, I made a video about staying sober on the weekends that you should check out!!! You’ve got to put something positive and fun on your weekends that isn’t drinking. I stay extremely busy on the weekends on purpose, it doesn’t give my mind all that time to wonder and think about drinking or think about how people are out having fun. Sobriety can be fun you just have to fun your fun.
God bless, hang in there 🙏
I'm 57 now and have gone round and round with it
A vicious cycle.
Good job on 30 days brother keep it up!
Hey i appreciate that brother thank you!! One day at a time man. 🙏
Congratulations dude 🤘🤘🤘🤘 u got this good sir
@@scottnum hey Scott thank you brother!!! 💪
This gives my current run of sobriety some more motivation, thanks. I’m an older guy thinking jeez am I still okay if he was only 20!
This is awesome man!! I’m glad it gave you some different lenses. It’s hard to see when we are wrapped up in the chaos just how bad it really is for our body and minds. God bless 🙏
i have high liver enzymes hepatomegaly and hepatic steatosis
Im so sorry to hear this brother….. alcohol is just so destructive and damaging on so many levels….. keep your head up 🙌
Or he's had hepatitis at some point in his life
You never know, he definitely could have. God bless
Congrats on your clean time! 🎉
Hey 👋 thanks so much kassie!!!! God bless!

I was 18!
If only u could see my face after u said 30
Slay u need to do you!!!!
U tube 2nd or 3rd
I appreciate the understanding Kristen!!! Thank you !!! 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 smile from ear to ear
I have a saying get sober before your life is over, and it’s for reasons like this, I pray that D is going to be alright, because I believe that it’s not entirely his fault that this happened to him. Alcoholism is scary and it creeps up on you, just like any drug addiction, they’ve done studies and even people that vigorously smoke marijuana have similar withdrawals that alcoholics do, it’s more rare but it still exists. My point is that sobriety is an invisible gift that we’ve been deceived to despise, and we’ve been deceived to despise it because there’s evil people in this world that don’t want other people to be successful and from my experience most people that I have met that have suffered from alcoholism have been very intelligent people. I don’t think that alcohol should be banned, but I wish I knew what I know about alcohol before I turned 21, I’m 29 now and I’m thankful that channels like this exist, because people need to get informed on how bad alcoholism is and how bad it can get.
That saying is excellent man!!! I agree with pretty much everything you said in this comment brother. I’m thankful that it’s helping people, it’s a beautiful thing. God bless you my friend 🙏🙏
@@Slayer-7373 Thanks man! And it is a beautiful thing brother, and god bless you too my friend 🙏
Thank you. Thank you for being on youtube. I really needed to hear this today. I feel so bad for that poor young man with organ failure. I have liver disease and chronic inflammation and today I was literally in tears of frustration because I want to walk that 10 minutes and grab beer. I've been physically feeling better and my family are trusting me in their lives again. I have many blessing but this is hard. I'm crying. But I needed to reminded of what could happen to my health if i do pick up-and it happens to me real quick. Keep up your hard work. You actually helped me not walk out that door. I'm nervous to tell AA members how I really feel in case it upsets them so i go on youtube to watch videos like these. I'm 47 days sober and go to meetings 4 times a week. They do help too. God bless you! I believe alcohol is demonic too.
Hey Lynne!! Let me say this I’m so proud of you!!! I mean that I’m extremely proud of you. I know how hard it is especially when you’re struggling like that. I’m so sorry you’re going through all of these problems physically and mentally. I always tell myself when I’m struggling back that “all things are possible through Christ Jesus” remember god is on your side no matter what you’re going through and so am I and this whole community!!!
Don’t feel nervous or embarrassed to tell your AA members, if they judge you for being honest then that’s not where you want to be. Do yourself a favor and find a new meeting. You need a place you can be 100% honest, I’m glad you have this community and the very least 🙏🖤.
God bless, keep your head up and keep me updated please! 🙏🙏
Dying of alcohol and not even being old enough to buy it yet. I get angrier the more I think about the "parents"...
Same here brother, smh…. 😔
Very good point about the internet. Love your videos. If only there were more like you.
Hey thanks Harry 🙏! That’s really awesome of you to say brother. God bless
i’m more than worried about my girl . she has sores on her face now . when she passes out she gets fits in her hands and face . then the next day she drinks again. this is daily . she was 440 when this started now 48 . took 8 years to become a chronic alcoholic. also repeats the same stuff over and over .
I’m so sorry brother that you’re going through this still!! Sometimes someone’s binge lasts years…. There’s only but so much you can do for someone sadly. Please don’t give up on her but don’t waste your life and energy 24/7 on trying to repair someone who doesn’t want the help at the moment.
Keep your head up brother, god bless you!! 🙏🙏🙏
if you cant drag her to rehab at least put her on a vitamin B complex with vitamin B1 in doses of 100mg daily. Im kinda worried about her nervous system with those symptoms :(
@@TheSaival I agree bro, scary stuff!
@@TheSaival unfortunately i sailed to another country as her drinking and behaviour was confronting. but i do care for her and are in contact daily . she tried rehab twice but only lasted weeks and would hook up with guys there . which was heartbreaking but they went no where . all low level shit . she has a place to live in now. but as her drinking continues she either dosnt pay or makes problems
When parents have a drinking problem alcohol is more important than their kids. That’s what happened to that guy. They probably were his drinking partners.
It very well could be a possibility… sad enough to say….. 🙏😔
@@Slayer-7373 yes very sad. They never get a chance of a normal childhood or healthy guidance.
great video slayer!
Hey thank you so much my friend!! 🙏🙏god bless.
