I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got addicted to alcohol. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Been waiting to hear from you. You’re a brave dude putting this shit online and as someone who struggles everyday with the same problem….. It helps me. ❤
@@cheenbean keep it up. Your life will get so much better! Don’t look back. Consider going to AA. It really helps plus you’ll have others supporting you.
Something that has always stuck with me, You don't have a problem with alcohol, you just have poor coping mechanisms and in yours and my case alcohol is that mechanism, all the best
Hey bro always good to see you upload. I am still in the alcohol circle myself too but I love your content and you're a really amazing guy. I'm never gonna judge anyone for drinking because I lean on it too but wish you the best buddy and I appreciate your honesty 💖
Glad to have you back! I recently discovered your channel and it’s been super helpful. What a ride you have been on. So many can relate and I admire your ability to put yourself out there for all of us. Keep at it man. Do it for your beautiful girls, but you already know that. You are on the right path and will eventually get there. You have to, and have no choice!
Firstly, alcohol is poison. I don't recommend alcohol for anyone. Anyone who drinks should probably quit. Of all the drugs to do, alcohol is not a good one. Remember that...drinking is always bad. Secondly, you might be dealing with depression/anxiety problems. You may do well to see a therapist and/or get on medication. Thirdly, you need to get a life. Hobbies, relationships, exercise. You life consists of working, drinking, and not-drinking. You need to get a nice life you enjoy.
If you watched the whole video, he bought new shoes and re-ignited working out again. I think he's well aware that he needs to "get a life" as you crudely put it. And obviously alcohol is not recommended. lol No one needs a youtube therapist like you stating such. And of all drugs to do, alcohol is not a good one? lol Then what drug, praytell, is? 😂
@@lovethybunnya mood stabilizer would help him a lot. It is not a narcotic not makes one euphoric. The other person’s advice was spot on. We recovering alcoholics know a tremendous lot about this disease. You should apologize for your ignorance to the person you were so judgements to. They are correct. You are not one bit. . .
Good to finally hear from you was really plzd to see this video. Good to see you in good spirits. Just so you know, just six months ago I’d think it was totally impossible to quit drinking I’d rather die an alcoholic. I’ve been off the drink 46 days now and honestly i miss alcohol but life without it for now is better. It’s not so hard to stop now. Stay strong. You’ll likely be able to eventually quit, don’t pressure it. Will happen in good time if you keep trying
good to see an upload from you bro. just know that some random ass texan has occasionally wondered about the wellbeing of a rando aussie, connected by our desire to slay the inner demons that push us to our poisons of choice.
Your transparency and insight is wonderful...I relate to the struggles...And omg the Schizophrenia of trying to control it all is a full time job ++. I'm happy to see you back. I learn from your videos. Elaine
God bless you brother. I know the war you are going through. Just know God loves you, your fellow alcoholics support you and you will be fine. So happy you are back.
I enjoy your candor, stranger. I am shocked you're able to even sustain and handle an 80 hr a week job! Hell, even 40 a week is tough, especially if you're drinking at night. Dropping the 2nd job def saved you some. Your body would've given up, whether you were drinking or not. Nobody should be working that many hours a week. I was wondering if you HAD to work that many for survival. I'd rather level down to cheaper way of living/survival, than work that many hours. Not worth it. As for the night drinking, I can totally see why you felt the desire and need to, after being exhausted and your brain fried from working. A lot of people also have the motto: Work hard, play hard. Some feel they "earned" the right to drink because they worked hard. My ex was like that. He even had a life outside of the work+drinking. He was in top physical condition (fit-wise), even smoking as well. But I knew it'd catch up to him. I haven't seen or heard from him in years, and I have little doubt his body is breaking down from everything. My view is, if you are OK living your life with the partying, etc., then so be it. Everyone is different and it's their choice. People are gonna judge no matter what. But it's your journey, and your goals you wanna achieve. Just sometimes drinking or other habits prevent that, so those forks in the road are your choice to decide. Thanks for the invite into your life some. It was interesting to watch.
Im 6 years sober now after 20 years of trying. I had never managed to stay sober for more than a few days (4 weeks once). Despite going meetings etc from time to time, I always failed. The difference this time for me was Acamprosate (for about 18 months along with meetings). Really made the difference for me. Don't know if you've tried it? Good luck mate
Thanks , just focus on the solutions , not the problem. Be positive , it does get better and different, I got to the point anything ...and I mean anything ! Was better than drinking . That got me through alot particularly in early sobriety. I wish you well I really do . Hope you find the answer and hang on for dear life . ❤
Great update video. Congratulations on being in a good place financially, to quit your second job. It is awesome with your new situation that you do not crave the Alcohol to survive. Best wishes to much success going forward.
He will crave it again sadly. And possibly fail again. Gimmicks don’t work/ gym, jogging. You have to want to stop 100% to put the plug in the jug. He’s not there yet. He just thinks he is. I wish him the best but know the journey personally . I got sober and stayed sober. You must be ready to abstain for life. One drink is too many and 1,000 are not enough.
Its only ever one day at a time. In your position, I would arrange to go into rehab and then live a sober life. I don't know how it's possible to work two jobs. It an amazing achievement to get a property for your kids.
When do you see your children? I would have rather had a present father than one who worked 16 hour days. I never knew my dad and my life has been hell to this point. I’m 35 years old.
Good on you, sounds like 5 months of honest graft, you got the resilience pal, just got to be truthful to yourself day in day out and you can do anything.
Working 16 hours days is a real sensible choice for someone with your anxiety levels. You need to start making better life choices. You try to make out in this video that drinking is your only option for dealing with stress and anxiety and boredom. There are a million other things you could do to manage stress other than drink, and no pay check in the world is worth sacrificing your health.
With a number of sober years now I must be honest. I feel you suffer from a mood disorder. Many alcoholics have one. I’m not a doctor but suggest you see a PHD psychologist for an assessment. your highs and lows are telling signs. Perhaps a mood stabilizer prescription would help you stay sober and more mood balanced. I’m aware of the signs because that was the root of my alcoholism. You mentioned you’ve got rid of the trigger. Only part way cause your moods are triggers too. If you have liver damage you don’t want to do more harm to your liver. It’s a painful death. I’ve lost friends that stopped drinking too late. The damage can’t be reversed if you continue drinking. Your elevated enzymes indicate there’s already damage.
@@LiClan not true, not true. They merely affect how the brain’s chemistry consistently works. They are not only not addictive, they are not narcotic. Google it if you question me. Put in “mood stabilizers”.
Have you tried weedmaxxing? I know its more expensive down there but it can be a good pressure release valve for those “i cannot be 100% sober today” days, without hangovers
I watched your earlier videos as I was starting out. The change in your mood and how you went from rambling to succinct inspired me to keep going. Day 43 for me now and am feeling so much better. Hopefully you find your way back to happiness.
Even law school was forcing me in this, i have decided to take a break , better iam a year late with my degree than enter the work field with alcoHELLism, may he soend a few days with the fam, cheers mate
And honestly what ur doing listening to the TH-cam podcasts on alcohol this is the exact same thing I did before I stopped like u been to brainwash urself to stop. I still fall asleep most nights listening to sobriety videos. Ur happier without it or I am now but still u need to watch the videos ha. Even if y do drink keep posting we don’t judge it’s very hard to stop most important is to try
I'm on day 6 and being in a fasted or ketosis state has eliminated my urge to drink. What this tells me is that it was a sugar addiction, because being in ketosis eliminates all desire to eat sugar. Don't downplay the addictiveness of sugar, just look around at the people's terrible bodies in society. Sugar, which is what alcohol turns into, is the most deadly addictive substance on the planet and nobody ever talks about it. I think you just have a sugar addiction, even though you may not look like it physically.
Sugar is fuel. You crave it because you need it. Ketosis is a state of stress. Beware it may get look for alcohol eventually all the why you needed sugar, regular meals throughout a day.
Strange i lean into working extra hours when im craving a drinking session, less free time makes it un-appealing and literally impossible with my line of work. Hopefully you can manage your spare time well and not fill it with drinking.
Mate you are fine with grog... ive been going since 17 off over uni years 4 and back on doing what you do up until near 48. Its only a problem when you arent in control of it but obviously you dont even want it to get close to that... you are all good though... stay positive and its all about balance! You dont need to fully quit it like so many new age men do.... thats my advice and keep up the the vids!
Man, your priorities are all wrong. Yes, you've bought your kids a house, but their dad is an absent, depressed alcoholic. There will always be a reason, a trigger to drink, but you need to demystify it. Get yourself to an AA meeting and work it otherwise you're going to spend the rest of your life on replay. I hope you manage to break the cycle. Good luck.
You have double that if you say what you’re saying. We all know this. Alcoholics lie. You lie. Be a father and raise your kids. Be a husband. You won’t ever get those days back. You will cry yourself to sleep and on death bed if you keep doing this. Kids deserve more. Hope your wife meets a real man. Sorry. Tough love.
Sounds stressful man , stay strong man . The problem with booze it just taxes your good energy . So what do we do , fck this crap feeling lets have another drink . I find I drink less now because of playing the guitar . Good stuff man keep it up . Nothing like a new pair of shoes I have so many pairs lol . I have so many I don't need to buy any for the rest of my life . I miss running and skateboarding , my right knee is rather fckt these days . Still get on my mountain bike tho . Nice to see another video from you man . Kevin is so cool . th-cam.com/video/bv0tmJl0EYY/w-d-xo.html

Good luck mate, best way to break a habit is replace it with a positive habit, so just focus on gym and fitness for now
It’s been refreshing to watch your videos!
I don't know how much you drink but if if it's serious your number one priority must be sobriety. Houses and all that can be replaced you can't !

Hi bro good to hear you.
This is bad on so many levels. Why so many hours of work?
On top of that alcohol.
A recipe to get sick mentally and physically.
How is your cat?
Love bad country. What a voice!!
Oh man, do you drink during work hours? Sounds like it… That’s tough.
My battle is here
What's the name of your 'main' channel?
How are you not getting fired drinking a third of a bottle of whiskey on shift at a call centre?
Think he said he drinks it when he gets home
