    My drinking didn’t start until my thirties…oh the alter ego kicked in full throttle! I was known as the wild, fun, life of the party girl. It was all fun and games until my family started being hurt by my actions🎉, I literally was acting a fool! It took me 18 years to realize what I was doing to myself and my family 😢 God bless you for sharing your story and helping others 😊

    Man... our stories are so similar it's almost freaky. When I was 16, I first began experimenting with weed and I loved it. From around 18-20 I smoked weed all the time. Sometimes it was literally all day everyday. I didn't really drink much, mostly because I was shy and reserved like you. I didn't go out to parties much, it was mostly just kicking it with a group of close friends, getting high and messing around. Then around 21, I started drinking more. Just a few beers on the weekends here and there, nothing crazy. But I fell in love with it. That warmth you talk about, a level of relaxation I had never felt before, the social anxiety all went away. I could talk to girls easily, make friends easily, it just made my life way better. I also got a ton of energy and euphoria from it like you. It really turned me into a different person, someone who was way more sociable, loud, would do and say stupid shit all the time, was always up for anything, but I guess that was socially acceptable for a 21 year old. I also worked in the restaurant industry at this time, in FOH. I made a bunch of new friends who liked to party, go to bars, etc.
    When I was 22, it was NYE and I actually lost consciousness and threw up all over myself in public. I thought it was just a blackout, but looking back it was probably alcohol poisoning and I just didn't realize it. Then around 23 I started to drink by myself. Not even a whole lot, just 1-2 IPAs a night. But soon enough that turned into 2-3, then 3-4, and on and on. I would do this 2-3 nights a week, then party Friday/Saturday which was god knows how many drinks. By the time I was 24, I was drinking every single night. I remember I would get a 15-pack of IPAs, and I would try to make it last three nights. But after awhile, that 15-pack was only lasting two nights.
    From 25-27, I drank basically every single night for three years. 6-10 IPAs, sometimes a little liquor. I'd have nights where I'd try to take it easy, but I was drunk basically every night. This is when I knew I had a problem, but just didn't want to do anything about it. It was still fun honestly. Wasn't day drinking much, but then around 27/28, that started happening. I didn't even want to really, but the hangovers/withdrawals from that much alcohol just got out of control. I started drinking vodka in the morning, drinking at work, I had to drink before any social engagement of any kind. I was hiding liquor, sneaking shots in bathrooms, in my car, you name it. I would even sneak drinks in my own home when friends were over because I knew people would comment on how fast and how much I was drinking. This is when my drinking really got out of control and wasn't the fun that it used to be. I would have periods where I got out of the morning drinking and went back to my nighttime only drinking, and then I'd go back to the morning drinking, then back to the nighttime only, rinse and repeat. I'd even have periods of full sobriety for a week, two weeks, a month, longest was about 35 days, but I always went back to it and it got out of control really quickly.
    I've heard a lot of people talk about alcoholism. Famous people, people on social media, people in meetings, friends, family, I've probably heard thousands of people talk about their alcoholism. But your story is the one I can relate to most. It really did turn me into a different person, a person who for awhile I really liked better. I could finally socialize the way I wanted to, I loved the euphoria it gave me, the relaxation, the relief. I've done other drugs, but alcohol was always my drug of choice. It was like I had an alcohol shaped hole in my brain that I didn't even know about until I started drinking.
    Anyway, just wanted to share my story. 10 days sober now. Hopefully my last sip of alcohol was on February 5th, 2024, but I'm just taking it one day at a time. Your videos really help me a lot.

      Wow! Thank you for this! You are not kidding, our stories are almost identical! Everything you said here was exactly how my alcoholism became what it was. I started out the same exact way, started smoking, moved to booze but just a little and it escalated slowly until I was drinking alone and getting blackout drunk everyday. I really appreciate you sharing this. These are the types of stories that others need to see so that they know that they are not alone.

    I was nice in the beginning and then after some years I turned into a complete idiot to the point I was compared to Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde 168 days sober in recovery out patient Telehealth now. Therapy is nothing to be ashamed of I’ll admit I was just lying to myself until I faced the truth and I’m still paranoid about my health I see so many accounts of people who quit and years later their liver just went my advice to those people is please see the forest and love the trees. That little voice inside is telling the truth the easiest thing to do is listen and then you will learn how wonderful life is. Thanks my brother for making these videos! Look up the Starfish Poem.

    Vicodin ES made me feel like I was superwife. I’d clean, cook, go out run errands, talk more, I thought I was fun! I’d be picking weeds with a flashlight at 1am.
    I became outgoing.
    I’m quiet now, I’m too vulnerable.. I like to stay in the yard with Goose or stay inside.

    I have definitely run into the "angry drunk" before on occasion. But, I never understood it. The last thing I want to do when I'm enjoying a few drinks is get in an argument or fight with anyone. I do understand that it's just how some people react to alcohol, though.

    I find your brutal honesty to be very cleansing, even though it is not my exact experience. I romanticized the heck out of drinking. Like you said, it's part of our ensemble. It's a great time until it isn't. Anyone who drinks on the daily is a breath away from it becoming a problem.

    Hi There! Right before I quit drinking six weeks ago I had gotten to the point I was too sick to get high from it anymore. I just felt disgusted with alcohol so I quit. I’m still very very sick. I suspect pancreatitis but I still need more tests to confirm it. It’s very bad. There’s a thin line with alcohol.

    I am reading a book now about the dangers of using alcohol. And why “some” can’t drink, and some can? And how they use advertising makes it look so good. Winston cigarettes they showed him on a ranch riding a horse looking so handsome & rugged… it’s crazy how they don’t tell you how dangerous smoking is or over drinking is… not to mention to your health??? The book is called how to quit like a woman. Its good. Just wanted to say thank you so much for what you are doing. And your videos. I don’t have a high tolerance for drinking, so great full, I get sleepy when I drink. I don’t drink anything hard, just wine. I am very OCD about everything, and tend to be an over thinker…. I don’t like anything that affects my mind, I like to be in full facility.

    I would probably have to make a video of why and how I drank but long story short first came anxiety than came OCD. I started self-medicating with anxiety when I was younger and would fall off on benders when I got older after having mental health crisis’s somewhere along the way. But therapy and especially medications have been a big help. One year sober and feel great. Labs and health are good. The OCD was the worst of it, I felt dead inside for 4 ½ years from being in constant fight or flight. But things can change for the better and they did. Wishing everyone well.

    Such true words you spoke. Alcohol is the lubrication to social interactions - love that. It’s so hard to not beat ourselves up for the mistakes we made in the past. Dangerous mistakes. Forgiving ourselves fully feels impossible.
    Speaking of that, a few times recently you’ve mentioned that you have to learn to love yourself in order to heal and move through recovery. Can you talk more about that? I understand self-acceptance and coming to terms with the core characteristics of yourself that you really can’t change. But what actually is self-love? I don’t think that’s possible for me who struggles with deep feelings of worthlessness.

    I understand you completely when you feel like the life of the party when you’re drinking. It’s definitely a social lubricant like you said. I’m naturally a pretty reserved and standoffish myself. Introverted even. So alcohol became extremely addictive for me because of this reason. Since I got sober 6 years ago, I had to retrain my brain to be comfortable at social gatherings and over time it got a little easier but honestly it’s not half as fun as I know it WOULD be with alcohol. However, I definitely had a dark side to me when I drank. My friends no longer wanted to go to bars with me anymore because I used to always like to fight when I got drunk. That’s not who I was as a sober person but alcohol just made me get in lots of fights. Whether inside or outside the bar. I would also get verbally abusive. Just a bad person really. The best decision I ever made in my life was to get sober. I can’t stress that enough.

    My husband isolated himself and me by default because he was so hard to get along with. He lost all of his friends. When he died, I spoke to all of them. I made a point to reach out. They were all sad but had to get away from him when he was so bad. I understood and wanted them to know he had died. Many of them came to his services. He wasn’t the person he really was inside for the last few years of his life.

    Hi from Australia! I've just discovered your channel and it's definitely had an impact on me. I have a controversial question and I apologise if you've already discussed it. This question is NOT my opinion or what I think; in fact I've been on the receiving end of it. Alcohol has been (and still is) a painful struggle in my life.
    What would you say to people who believe that you don't deserve treatment, care, compassion or understanding because you 'chose' to drink and make yourself sick?
    Once again, this isn't my view - but many ignorant people - dare I say even hypocritical - have this viewpoint. I'd be really interested in hearing what you think based on all of your experiences as a drinker and as a medical patient.
    I'll finish up by saying that you're an inspiration and I am in pure admiration of the courage - beyond belief - to put yourself out there like this; to try and help people. Sometimes the common methods to quit drinking become stale, and an honest, health based perspective like yours is truly needed. Trust me, it's working and you're making positive changes in people's lives all around the world. Thank you & Bless.

      At the moment there is genocide and then fascism, it’s not for nothing that a conference is being held in Germany for security (implies the destruction of people and security for the authorities where the pocket of money is. And now they are preparing for the Cold War to take over Ukraine for Poland, it’s the fascists who conspired with Trump, it’s a mess. The 18th century and The 21st century is a more sensible person and knows that nothing good will come of it. Where they bring the game to spite the people and destroy it so that not many votes are collected and it is President Zelensky who remains in power. Fascism and earnings, in Russia 10 ml people are taken into account..
      ///////////////////////////))/))))))))))))
      Everyone throws one thing at another and nothing will change, and everyone will remain in power. It’s not the politicians, but Germany, not Germany, Trump is so to blame and in the end, participation is the dream of destroying Russia, forgetting the kindness of Russia and the Great Patriotic War (full of films in Russian )
      ////////////////////////////////))))
      The International Court of Justice is looking at Israel, where the struggle for independence and life in Israel is constantly ongoing. And the fact that they are preparing for the Cold War and will they continue to remain silent on the part of the International Court of Justice😢
      .............................. ......
      They tried to squeeze Russia, and now There is no point in politics and they decided as a second option to carry out the Cold War on the part of Germany 🇩🇪 where they are determined to engage in the near future. The information war did not help to impose a war and now they are replaying it.
      The information war did not help support from the people, now from Navalny where young people are part of the truth and there is no information about the salaries of officials in Russia. Half of the population is happy, some are not, the third are stolen from abroad. And the tax is not overflowing and no one paid before the war or less. And now Are Navalny also being treated as sanctions? As a citizen and a person, I do not evaluate and give a negative answer regarding the accusation against Russia

    In the UK, alcohol is available round the clock whenever stores are open. There are no restrictions and no distinction between beer and liquor. Alcohol is alcohol and even with inflation it's still cheap to buy in supermarkets. The beer I drink has been the same price for 10 years. It's just impossible to avoid alcohol here, it's everywhere.
