This is so great. Thank you. 40 days sober today. The craving or desire for alcohol has been removed. Thank God. I cry every day. Not all day, but still. It's like WTF? Feel like I have the emotional maturity of a 10 year old and I'm 46. Grateful to be given an opportunity to become a better person and to grow, but it sucks right now. Anyways, love your videos and content! ❤
So much to reflect on! This popped up on my feed- I barely drink alcohol but I have been struggling with nicotine and cannabis abuse. Addiction is addiction. I never had a strong enough 'why; but you put it into words perfectly and I'm now fired up about emotional sobriety. I'm tired of numbing!!
I’ve seen quite a few “you must stop drinking” videos. Aside from the obvious physical benefits of sobriety, this video expresses exactly what the real issue is with staying sober; that is, the emotional component. That really is the bottom line. This articulates that better than anywhere I have seen. Thank you…this has been very helpful. I have subscribed.
Stopped drinking for 10 weeks, noticed a sudden sugar craving, urge to overeat and watch endless social media i.e. shift to other addictive tendencies less harmful but still potentiually problematic. Undrrlying ussue is aversion to Silence
Similar..did 12 weeks off it from 1st Jan this year and then slipped and been off the wagon the last 5 months. Have done on average 10-12 weeks at a time on a handful of occasions in recent years before folding and going backwards but I always simultaneously go on Keto diet too so from a physiological stand point I do end up feeling better but the cravings for anything comforting do me in eventually. However the underlying issue is not Alcohol for me cos even when I drink I never drink at home. My underlying issue is the severity of loneliness from isolation and never ever spending time with a single soul in any meaningful way..i live completely alone so it's me and the four walls and that's it. The Pub is the only place to ever experience company so if you take that away what are you left with? If i ever find a good Woman to share my life with I believe I can turn this round but if not I feel it will be a perpetuating cycle of on the wagon/off the wagon
@@endevourdaze I hope you can start to find other ways to have meaningful company with others, it is so crucial, I'm in similar isolation boat but due to health problems CFS & diabetes etc, from years of food issues, not alcohol for me, never liked pubs, tho I've been codependent 20yrs with a reclusive home-drinker cptsd alcoholic. So, needing more support, TH-cam helps! Videos such as this, & encouraging myself to find more actual people too: how about walking groups, volunteer with animal rescue, carpentry class, community gardening, a choir, cooking classes - such a useful skill which i don't have! - I'm on keto path as well these days trying to rescue my health. Outdoor survival training always seemed a valuable skill, book clubs.. local church.. a local cafe.. yoga class... Zoom groups.. breathwork.. & along the way meet a good woman to be happy together 🎉❤
@@manyBlessings2allThank you for all your suggestions and effort put into your response to me post. You are going through a lot of things too it seems, I don't know about you but I feel that my in ability to heal or get better from a chronic psychological breakdown at 20 years of age is at the root of my inability to have made any progress and it had only led to more ill health in the years since rather than any long term healing. The town and city I live in is not conducive to healing from my fragile standpoint so seeking out groups or that would still require me to navigate through this unsafe place just to get to them as I don't have a car and would need to use public transport which at best is very stressful. I need to find a new place to call home, where there is a small local and supportive community to build relationships with cos where I live there are only low vibrational people that are more likely to cause physical harm to you than anything else. It's a living hell right now and i need an escape route out of here soon!
Excellent points. I am positive that is what keeps me returning to beer. 40 years of drinking really has not equipped me with handling my emotions. My career was very successful in spite of drinking. But it was my daily go to for relief. Thanks

What resentment work? You told but you didn't explain. Are you hoping that we will sign up on one of your courses in order to learn what you're actually saying because I didn't get anything from this😮 You told us WHAT, but you didn't tell us HOW. 😢 EDIT: Ohhhhh a '' master class '' of course!!! Pfffft
Wow out of all that good content, that's what you came up with ? You need to stop focusing and stating to the world every little thing that bothers you. Now post a few positive things from the video and see how that feels.
Every person I’ve met who became sober claim their life has only improved. No regrets. 🎉🎉🎉

Have a look at the book Solitude by Netta Weinstein and 2 other authors. This book fits so well with this clip on emotional sobriety
So right my friend

Renting space in your head doesn’t make sense. “Living in your head rent free-AA,” does.
She needs to learn how to use the word ‘etc.’
