My dad was a raging alcoholic all his life, used to drink 2ltr bottles of whiskey a day at one point. Never really had any health issues at all, up until one day back in 2015 when he started with mild abdominal pain. Went to doctor, who sent him to a&e. Turns out he had alcoholic pancreatitis. The drink was masking his early symptoms. Was put on high strength iv antibiotics and admitted into ICU. That night he fell into a coma, was put on life support and died the next day from multi organ failure. From feeling abdominal pain to death in just over 24hrs. He was 58. I hope someone suffering from alcoholism sees this and learns from his mistakes.

Wow. I am 58, been drinking 45 years, regularly the past 40. I'm sorry to know it went that way and sorry you lost your dad. Hits home, really. I wish you peace
It's amazing how few people make the link between going to a doctor or hospital, and sudden death! I mean no disrespect whatsoever - respect to your Father, and I'm sorry you lost him. I'm serious though. I've been doing a lot of homework on this. I'm not saying there wasn't health issues there - but you have 2 possible analyses here. 1) As a total coincidence, this person, in this case, your Father; goes to see a doctor with 'mild abdominal pain', and it turns out, he was destined to get extremely sick, to the point of death, the next day or so, because of an already 'hidden' health problem, with no side effect, at all, from the treatment given, which turns out to be 'high strength iv antibiotics' - of which allegedly did not hinder his health, though also did not save him in any way. If he didn't go to the doctor, would he have died the next day or so anyway? 2) There were some mild health problems, (not ruling out the beginnings or later stages of a serious health issue) A level of indication from this persons own natural defence systems, of his own body, of mild pain. He goes to a doctor/hospital, who immediately hooks a line directly to his veins, with 'high strength iv antibiotics', and he then, we are to believe, coincidentally, falls into a coma, is put on life support, and quickly dies - after high strength drugs are injected straight into his vascular system. The question is, if this treatment failed in not only aiding his health, but didn't even aid his health enough to keep him alive for more than a day, after having 'mild' pain symptoms - should the treatment be questioned as being harmful? If you look into 'antibiotics', you'll find they're not the panacea they're made out to be. Look up a book called 'what really makes you ill' by David Parker and Dawn Lester - you'll find everything you need in there. Also look up Dr. Paul Byrne. I share this with respect, with an intention to point out the con that most people are not aware of.
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
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.
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
I stopped consuming alcohol 20 years ago. I am 60 now. Without any doubt, the single best thing I ever did. Here is the kicker. There is more fun without alcohol, than their ever was with it. I was a daily drinker. Put myself in rehab and fought like heck. Fight for your right to live without this crappy drug.

This is the time. 72 years old, drinking for 54 years. January 2024, BP 186/135. February - March stopped for 40 days. Daughter gave me “Outlive,” science and art of longevity, by Dr. Peter Attia. Stopped for 2 weeks June 2024. Slipped up last week, 10 drinks. Last time August 1st. Have lost a few pounds, eating healthier, BP now 131/86. Blood work looks good, but time to let my liver and kidneys do their best. Today same weight as when I left the Army in 1980, 184 pounds. Goal now 175; BP , 125/75.
My father passed away from cirrhosis at 70, his brother passed away from cirrhosis at 42. My brother has issues with his liver after years of heroin addiction and contracting hep C. He still battles alcohol addiction. I figured it was a matter of time for me, if I didn't stop. I am proudly, 19 months sober and couldn't be happier in life. To those who battle everyday, don't ever give up.

The cumulative effects we don’t think of, it’s a day-to-day thing, like stacking sheets of paper. One day you look and the stack starts to get some considerable height to it. Pouring the drink down the gullet day-to-day is just a full-frontal attack on the liver, one day things start to go south. Another thing people don’t realize is that as time passes, we consume more and more. The day I quit drinking was a huge turning point in my life. I feel a lot better, it’s been four years now, I’ll never go back. Thanks for sharing this, if one person learns something you’ve done them a huge favor and it’s worth it.

Thank you Steven, I’m now 10 years sober, anyone watching your videos who is a self proclaimed alcoholic will identify with your wisdom on alcoholism and recovery, we all go through the same chapter turning process, chapter one being the most painful, realising and accepting that we are alcoholics, only then can recovery begin, fellowship with an alcoholic in recovery is essential, one lesson I learned is that your testimony can never shock an alcoholic, a recovering alcoholic is the most non judgmental person in society, if your struggling there are thousands of us to talk to, the joy of your sobriety is shared with all of us, it might sound cliched but we are a worldwide family and we all rejoice in your sobriety, we all fight against the same demon, thus unifying us all xx.
Alcohol has destroyed my life….. I got into trouble with the police when I was younger, I’ve now lost the love of my life when my partner broke up with me in September last year. Alcohol dulls the pain and anxiety in me but it’s 100 x worse in the morning. I’m determined to work on my inner self for so many reasons. I turned 40 yesterday and been drinking heavy since my late teens. Thank you for the video and another wake up call.

I'm 14 months sober but I had head and neck cancer (in remission 3 years now) that was the most grueling treatment ever.

Tbh, when I look back, I can honestly say drinking was never as great as I thought it was going to be. Most of the injuries, arguments and falling out with people (if not all) happened after a few drinks. I had that dull ache on the RHS under the ribs. I had blood tests and ultrasounds and they couldn't find anything. I would start drinking again and the pain would come back. It has been nearly 7 months now and that pain has gone away. Listen to your body.
Drinking hammers the liver. Your liver sits on the right hand side just by and under your ribs. Your liver can swell sometimes after drinking especially if you have been a heavy drinker and cause alcohol related liver pain. Well done being off it mate and hope your well. Not saying it is that but it's a coincidence it happens when you drank.👍👍👍👍👍
I havent touched alcohol since 2003. I was 27 when I stopped . what put me off drinking was seeing old men who drank their life away and had never left or ventured far from the pub. I think for many of us we simply get bored with the same old ,same old. for many the body and mind tells you to stop in the way you behave after alcohol . If I was drinking I wouldnt have seen the world , travelled and appreciated many good things in life such as being a good son and caring for my late mother , and being the best Uncle to my nephews and nieces . Nowadays a cup of tea or a can of fizzy drink on Saturday at the game is my go to

Using alcohol to dull the pain also stops any growth in your mental Health-my sister was an alcoholic her whole life (she passed a couple of years ago at age 50 from alcohol) what I noticed when she would get sober was her inability to cope with any type of stress-the smallest of strife and she was just beside herself. She was very immature in dealing with stress because alcohol was the way she dealt with everything. You MUST be very patient with yourself-learning how to navigate life by actually feeling pain, loss and forgiving yourself (very very important). Hopefully you have a community of people to help you. Blessings and prayers to you. 🙏🙏🙏

I wish I'd had that conversation with myself when I was 17, 40 years of heavy drinking later, in hospital with bladder failure and poorly functioning liver and kidneys, in there for 5 weeks, had a liver scan 3 weeks ago, everything is now OK, now 9 months without alcohol and don't miss it in the least, it's like a door in my brain has been closed (or more like bricked up). We have alcohol in the house, but I have no attraction to it anymore, - I went to a dark place for 40 years, but thankfully came out the other side.

I drank myself into a stupor every night of my life. Still worked full time in the building trade. Had my first pint at eleven, then took to it like a duck to water. I come from a family of heavy drinkers. About five years ago, at about 73, my wife and I both went cold turkey. I got the shock of my life, if I had known it would be so easy, I would have done it decades ago.

For me the drinking problem in the later stages was a nostalgic problem, needing to let go and move on from many things, many ways of thinking, appreciating the sober now even "more" than the previous thinking.

I never liked the word "Alcoholic or Alky" as i think its a demeaning term, " oh that blokes an alky" or " that blokes a druggy" I tell people quiet openly that I have an unhealthy relationship with Alcohol. Most people who have our issues are good honest people and don't deserve to be tarred with the gutter aspect that folk see all Alkies and druggies as no good layabouts. I feel not guilt but some sadness of the relationships I've let go of because I couldn't see the issues at the time, now I'm using that feeling as one of the tools to make sure I don't make those mistakes again. Thanks Steven.
I come from a line of alcoholics, My Father, His Father and so on, Ive struggled with Alcohol all my life, over the last 2 years(im in my early 50s) Ive managed to stop 3 times, 7 months 5 months and 3rd time now coming up for 4 months sober, Im starting to struggle, Im so glad I found your channel Steve.

Hey Jamie, funny coincidence. Exactly like you, 7 months, 5 months and now on my 3rd term (65 days in). I was so sickened by the drink and very ashamed that I allowed myself to get to the point where I wasn't eating properly and not looking after my hygiene. In my younger yrs I was very strong and disciplined but as you get older (53) it gets much harder. I really don't have any answers or tips but only to say how much I hate alcohol and how dare it take so much away from me. I am determined not to allow it to take anymore time from me. And I can do it, you can too. All the best to you Jamie and kind regards brother. 👍
its a miracle that i made it to my mid 30s alive. I'm 58 now. I started to fight (and fight its been) against alcohol 25 years ago. My old life with all my drinking pals and hobbies built around drinking had to end. This life is totally different.

I stopped drinking when I got drunk to the point of alcoholic delirium. It cannot be described in words - the worst nightmare of my waking life.

You get to the age of 40 and think to yourself, what the feck am I getting out of this now, only a terrible hangover the next day with anxiety and depressed mood into the bargain. The older a person gets, the less well they metabolise alcohol, it’s par for the course. Alcohols negative effects are far worse the older a person gets. You become way less resilient to its effects. I’m not arsed with it anymore, aged 41. Much prefer to keep myself physically fit by running and what not. Drinks a complete waste of time and energy.
Hi what an excellent message & spot on, it’s all too much as we get older I was 8 years sober then relapsed due to a “ new relationship “.. which was doomed anyway.

My family on both sides had alcoholics going back generations. My one sibling, my brother is 59 and has been drinking, heavily at times since his late teens. He never allowed me to broach the subject without anger and denial until a few years ago when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure. He’s now just been diagnosed with diabetes and cirrhosis. His “solution” is to cut out the distilled liquor and keep moderately drinking beer. All I can do is keep trying to steer him in the right direction and be realistic that I’m not going to have him much longer.

Christmas Eve 1996:- at my sister’s house for Christmas, I was 27. We started drinking various alcoholic drinks, I can’t even remember them all - Pernod, I will always remember it because of the name, and some others, not loads, a few, and also a sweet sherry at the neighbour’s house. Fine on Christmas Day, enjoyed it and then got up Boxing Day to go home, my sister and her husband were going to work and took me back, felt sick before getting in the car, feeling worse as we neared where I lived. Stopped the car literally in the road where I lived - I was sick in the road at 6 o’clock in the morning and had a migraine for I think two days after that. Never drank alcohol from that day to this, and I am now in my fifties. I wish my sister and her husband had told me you should not mix alcoholic drinks, it would have saved me all the palaver, I was a very light drinker, didn’t drink much until that occasion. I now drink Diet-Coke or Lemonade, or an orange juice, or my beloved tea. Very occasionally I have an alcohol-free glass of white wine or Nonsecco at my sister’s or the former when I am at mine, in the evening with snacks or dinner. That’s it. You don’t need alcohol in social situations, in spite of other peoples’ judgements.

My brother died of Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis this year.. he was only 49. He had it back in 2020 but recovered from it. I guess this time his body was not strong enough to fight it. He wasn't an alcoholic.. but he had a drink problem while holding down a long term job. His poison was all those cheap ciders.. all need banning IMO. Personally l think he suffered with depression and anxiety.. but he would never tell anyone if he did. From diagnoses with cirrhosis of the liver.. Decompensated.. he lasted 12 years. Decompensated is very bad because it's progressive like a cancer. He died while unconscious in hospital. My dad warned him years ago.. but he never listened . He was the type of guy who was gonna do what he wants to do.. unfortunately.. that stubbornness killed him.

My dad is 84 and just lost his wife. I spent a week with him. When I arrived it took him 5 minutes to get off the sofa and come to the door. He was wearing nothing from the waist down. Within 5 minutes of me being there he fell over and I had to pick him up and get him into his pyjamas. The local shop told me he has been coming in for a 500ml bottle of vodka a day plus 2 L of light beer. He improved a lot while I was there but I have no idea how he is going to get dry from where he is. I am going in a few weeks to spend some more time with him.
@@stevencurry215 He improved last time I went for a week - however - one night I went out with a friend and when I got back he was asleep on the sofa. In the morning he was in a bad mood swearing etc and saying he feels lousy. I found an empty 1 litre Smirnoff. He had been out to the local shop. They know not to sell him the hard stuff "he said it was for someone else". Idiots. I had to tell them not to sell him vokda whether it is for someone else or not. It seems a lire of vodka makes him feel normal for 1 day and then he feels worse for 2 days after. He has improved the last week though and is on 4 cans of stella artois a day.

Im seven months sober. And Im going to share something that people may not like. Im at AA have a sponsor, attend meetings. All of my socialising involved alcohol. It became a major problem. Arrested, criminal record at the age of 54. Almost lost family, home. But sobriety has been a very difficult journey for me. My life now is vapid and pointless No excitement nothing to look forward too. Yes I know the benefits. But these do not counter the fact that I would describe my life as purgatory. Alcohol is death by the quick route Sobriety the slow. In many ways being sober has caused me more pain than when i drank. Im caught between a rock and a hard place. Life awful when I was drinking Even worse when sober Ant p
Hi Ant thank you for your story it’s an unusual take o alcohol however I do see where you are coming from because you have lost your social life. I was the same I lived in the pub all my days & nights revolving around drinking when I retired Mine was a forced sober because I had medical issues but I’m well and fit now & would not like to return to drinking.

just take another kind of stimulant bro, literally everything is better for your health than alcohol. there stimulants which can even replicate the feelings of alcohol without the hangover ;)
@@stevencurry215 its Not a theroy its a fact even the hard drugs are less physically damaging than alcohol depends by route of Administration. of course you will stay addicted you only replace what ur addicted to.

I’ve been drinking heavily for 14 years (started at 18) now that I am 32 I’m really noticing a bad turn in my health. I had to go hospital because of severe heart palpitations and severe breathing issues. I quit for a month then started again, had a 3 day bender on the weekend and haven’t felt the same since. I’ve quit since, the last 2 nights I’ve had severe withdrawals and it’s unbearable. I’m getting body shakes, random body twinges, restlessness and the inability to drift off to sleep because it feels like my heart rate won’t go low enough to let me as there’s probably still alcohol in my system. I’m not going to give up in giving up but this withdrawal process is truly so hard, I’m dealing with this on my own as well. I’m now aware that I can’t ever drink again as how I’ve felt lately has scared me, I’ve just cleared my whole house of alcohol and I’m so ready to be the healthy young lad I once was. I miss feeling normal 😢

@@stevencurry215 Not a doctor mate, hospital accident and emergency. Like I said, you're a long term drinker, but you've obviously never had it bad enough to go through severe withdrawals. Read his message with care you patronising git. He said he'd just been on a 3 day bender. You're in this just for clicks obviously.
@@stevencurry215 what did that guy say? I think they deleted their comment, I saw your reply, I have managed to cut down alcohol entirely and I feel incredible. Getting past the withdrawals was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I didn’t even think it was possible for that to happen to me, very surreal. I have been truly humbled by it. My pains have completely gone and I’m breathing way better now. Alcohol is literally poison, people don’t realise the effects it has on the blood etc. Very scary that it’s so normalised

18 months ago I met the woman of my dreams and fell head over heels for her. Then every few weeks she would get nasty with me, usually over the phone (she’d been drinking) and in the following days she would apologise and tell me it’s just something she did occasionally and she would stop it entirely as she didn’t want to lose me. Things got no better and every few weeks she drank several litres of vodka in a few hours, get nasty with me while still able and usually end up in hospital. I’ve tried with all my heart to help her with doctors, alcohol groups etc but the best she’s achieved is about 6 weeks. It’s just happened again and I have not spoken to her in a few days now, I’m so utterly exhausted and in despair from it. My head says walk away but my heart wants to keep trying. I just don’t know what to do or if it’s even possible to ‘fix’ her?
Hi there sorry to hear about your dilemma here . She really needs a personal reason to want to stop drinking at such dangerous levels …I have an e book out I will send you the link it’s very informative and tells how I was on deaths door because I couldn’t control my Alcohol consumption.

The alcohol industry likes to mask the concept of alcohol related medical problems at an older age. Just look at drink ads. Its ALWAYS younger folks. Nobody is over 30 and everyone is looking sexy. Walk into a pub or bar sometime. Heavy drinkers dont look like models! Its a great mental exercise to do if you want to cut down or stop for good. Anytime Im playing gigs at bars, I dont drink because I want to observe what booze really does to people with clear eyes. I also dont drink during performances because Im an acoustic solo act. So my voice and fingers need to be 100% for a good show. But Im no saint. I will make a few celebratory drinks post show once at home. Wouldnt mind trading those harmful drinks for a relaxing epsom salt soak post show instead. Im 31 and not getting any younger. Plus Ive seen relatives drink at older age and that just doesnt seem to fit with my life goals of being able to write, record, and peform music live til i drop dead. Not to mention I love to do a lot of outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, kayaking, and frisbee golfing. Those are hard to do when nursing a hangover or having serious medical issues.

And its not beer they're having, its strong liquor, almost every day. I tell'em it will leave to dependency and god knows what damage they're doing to their bodies that they'll need medication and hospital visits for when they become older. Addiction and alcoholism is no joke.

Hi steven .thanks for posting.. ive been sober now for ten/10 years..was put on a community detox programe back in 2014.for one year.

4 years AF. Willpower will only get you so far, it has to be a complete mind shift of telling yourself that your relationship with alcohol is over. It is hard, your habits change, the way you socialise changes, probably the hardest part is that your previous social circle will disappear but in time will recognise this as a major positive. Life gets better, healthier and more congruent with who you really are. If you are struggling just try and keep going because it will be the single best thing you ever do for yourself and those who stick around.

To stop totally I left my area and went to live in different part of Dublin and found it easy as knew no one.. so no one calling to get me to pub… Am 64 now… I counted 17 people I knew, now dead.. I know there are more.. If I can stop.. most can. Just be totally determined, I was… local tryed to get me back by offering me free drink.!! That’s what really made me determined.. they wanted my hard earned cash.. I had the last laught.🧐🇮🇪🇬🇧

@@stevencurry215 yes, but does have to be increased to get benefits. Alcohol and drugs just masked everything and when I stopped drinking, all my issues were unchained. I would never go back to alcohol though. I don't trust myself to have 'a' drink.
Saint Augustine - the worst of revellers and sinners - eventually came to this realisation: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you". Try reading his book "Confessions"; there is help for you, indeed.
I’ve been a binge/heavy drinking for 15 years since I was suffering from anxiety/bipolar. Done a few detoxes. Done rebab etc. 50 now and just gone back from hols and was not feeling well. Put it down to normal hangover etc. BUT for the first time ever I have stance/numb feeling slow my right ribs. I stopped then. This was only 12 days ago and it is improving as is everything else. Pain has gone but it frightened me!!
Hi there best to get a check with your Dr to rule things out maybe, a lot of symptoms go unnoticed please subscribe to the channel and let me know how you get on I also have an e book just launched today the link 🔗 is on my profile page 👍
Great insight. I had two pub friends both die before they were 50 with liver cancer. I’ve been a on and off drinker all my life. Currently only drink here and there. I’m 17 months clean and sober from drugs, a shackle I ‘ honestly’ never thought I would be able to break. The trick was to dump all my friends except the non drug using ones. Pack up and move interstate to live with supportive family. I’ve done a complete 180. I think this is the same method or similar at least that would be needed with alcohol. Do what Steve has done. Change your life, habits, friend, diet, exercise regime, healthy like minded people in your life, no booze, and you will no longer be chained to the bottle. I feel great drug free and simply amazed at how in the very end when I had to.. knocking on the door.. had to, I was able to pull through and cast the demons back to hell. Thanks for sharing Steve.

Tremendously brave. Your opening piece could be all of my friends and I. I am 59 now but have never liked being drunk however, I joined a bank in 1985 and the culture was one of going to the pub after work, and during lunchtime etc., That feeling of being able to speak freely to people after a drink, being amiable and good company is a real lure. I am ordinarily quite introverted so drinking felt like emancipation. However, it is like making a pact with the devil. He gives you sociability and takes your health in return, silently. This is especially true in the UK as we have a greater responsibility to look after ourselves, given our stretched NHS resources. Were we all rich we could afford the battery of checks money can buy in the US. Thanks.

My dad was a raging alcoholic all his life, used to drink 2ltr bottles of whiskey a day at one point.
Never really had any health issues at all, up until one day back in 2015 when he started with mild abdominal pain. Went to doctor, who sent him to a&e. Turns out he had alcoholic pancreatitis. The drink was masking his early symptoms. Was put on high strength iv antibiotics and admitted into ICU. That night he fell into a coma, was put on life support and died the next day from multi organ failure. From feeling abdominal pain to death in just over 24hrs. He was 58.
I hope someone suffering from alcoholism sees this and learns from his mistakes.

Wow. I am 58, been drinking 45 years, regularly the past 40. I'm sorry to know it went that way and sorry you lost your dad. Hits home, really. I wish you peace
And to think in New Zealand we used to hand out knighthoods to booze barons. What a joke.
It's amazing how few people make the link between going to a doctor or hospital, and sudden death!
I mean no disrespect whatsoever - respect to your Father, and I'm sorry you lost him.
I'm serious though. I've been doing a lot of homework on this.
I'm not saying there wasn't health issues there - but you have 2 possible analyses here.
1) As a total coincidence, this person, in this case, your Father; goes to see a doctor with 'mild abdominal pain', and it turns out, he was destined to get extremely sick, to the point of death, the next day or so, because of an already 'hidden' health problem, with no side effect, at all, from the treatment given, which turns out to be 'high strength iv antibiotics' - of which allegedly did not hinder his health, though also did not save him in any way.
If he didn't go to the doctor, would he have died the next day or so anyway?
2) There were some mild health problems, (not ruling out the beginnings or later stages of a serious health issue)
A level of indication from this persons own natural defence systems, of his own body, of mild pain.
He goes to a doctor/hospital, who immediately hooks a line directly to his veins, with 'high strength iv antibiotics', and he then, we are to believe, coincidentally, falls into a coma, is put on life support, and quickly dies - after high strength drugs are injected straight into his vascular system.
The question is, if this treatment failed in not only aiding his health, but didn't even aid his health enough to keep him alive for more than a day, after having 'mild' pain symptoms - should the treatment be questioned as being harmful?
If you look into 'antibiotics', you'll find they're not the panacea they're made out to be.
Look up a book called 'what really makes you ill' by David Parker and Dawn Lester - you'll find everything you need in there.
Also look up Dr. Paul Byrne.
I share this with respect, with an intention to point out the con that most people are not aware of.

Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Thank you Steven, I’m now 10 years sober, anyone watching your videos who is a self proclaimed alcoholic will identify with your wisdom on alcoholism and recovery, we all go through the same chapter turning process, chapter one being the most painful, realising and accepting that we are alcoholics, only then can recovery begin, fellowship with an alcoholic in recovery is essential, one lesson I learned is that your testimony can never shock an alcoholic, a recovering alcoholic is the most non judgmental person in society, if your struggling there are thousands of us to talk to, the joy of your sobriety is shared with all of us, it might sound cliched but we are a worldwide family and we all rejoice in your sobriety, we all fight against the same demon, thus unifying us all xx.

Alcohol has destroyed my life….. I got into trouble with the police when I was younger, I’ve now lost the love of my life when my partner broke up with me in September last year. Alcohol dulls the pain and anxiety in me but it’s 100 x worse in the morning. I’m determined to work on my inner self for so many reasons. I turned 40 yesterday and been drinking heavy since my late teens. Thank you for the video and another wake up call.

Tbh, when I look back, I can honestly say drinking was never as great as I thought it was going to be. Most of the injuries, arguments and falling out with people (if not all) happened after a few drinks. I had that dull ache on the RHS under the ribs. I had blood tests and ultrasounds and they couldn't find anything. I would start drinking again and the pain would come back. It has been nearly 7 months now and that pain has gone away. Listen to your body.

Drinking hammers the liver. Your liver sits on the right hand side just by and under your ribs. Your liver can swell sometimes after drinking especially if you have been a heavy drinker and cause alcohol related liver pain. Well done being off it mate and hope your well.

I havent touched alcohol since 2003. I was 27 when I stopped . what put me off drinking was seeing old men who drank their life away and had never left or ventured far from the pub. I think for many of us we simply get bored with the same old ,same old. for many the body and mind tells you to stop in the way you behave after alcohol . If I was drinking I wouldnt have seen the world , travelled and appreciated many good things in life such as being a good son and caring for my late mother , and being the best Uncle to my nephews and nieces . Nowadays a cup of tea or a can of fizzy drink on Saturday at the game is my go to

I wished I would have been that smart at 27
Using alcohol to dull the pain also stops any growth in your mental
Health-my sister was an alcoholic her whole life (she passed a couple of years ago at age 50 from alcohol) what I noticed when she would get sober was her inability to cope with any type of stress-the smallest of strife and she was just beside herself. She was very immature in dealing with stress because alcohol was the way she dealt with everything. You MUST be very patient with yourself-learning how to navigate life by actually feeling pain, loss and forgiving yourself (very very important). Hopefully you have a community of people to help you. Blessings and prayers to you. 🙏🙏🙏

I never liked the word "Alcoholic or Alky" as i think its a demeaning term, " oh that blokes an alky" or " that blokes a druggy" I tell people quiet openly that I have an unhealthy relationship with Alcohol. Most people who have our issues are good honest people and don't deserve to be tarred with the gutter aspect that folk see all Alkies and druggies as no good layabouts. I feel not guilt but some sadness of the relationships I've let go of because I couldn't see the issues at the time, now I'm using that feeling as one of the tools to make sure I don't make those mistakes again.

In my younger yrs I was very strong and disciplined but as you get older (53) it gets much harder. I really don't have any answers or tips but only to say how much I hate alcohol and how dare it take so much away from me. I am determined not to allow it to take anymore time from me.

I stopped drinking when I got drunk to the point of alcoholic delirium. It cannot be described in words - the worst nightmare of my waking life. Cockroaches and ants were crawling over my body and I was trying to get them out of my mouth - while screaming in an inhuman voice in an empty apartment littered with empty bottles and garbage . I quit drinking a long time ago, it’s like I was born again...

You get to the age of 40 and think to yourself, what the feck am I getting out of this now, only a terrible hangover the next day with anxiety and depressed mood into the bargain.
The older a person gets, the less well they metabolise alcohol, it’s par for the course. Alcohols negative effects are far worse the older a person gets. You become way less resilient to its effects.
I’m not arsed with it anymore, aged 41. Much prefer to keep myself physically fit by running and what not. Drinks a complete waste of time and energy.

My family on both sides had alcoholics going back generations. My one sibling, my brother is 59 and has been drinking, heavily at times since his late teens. He never allowed me to broach the subject without anger and denial until a few years ago when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure. He’s now just been diagnosed with diabetes and cirrhosis. His “solution” is to cut out the distilled liquor and keep moderately drinking beer. All I can do is keep trying to steer him in the right direction and be realistic that I’m not going to have him much longer.

Christmas Eve 1996:- at my sister’s house for Christmas, I was 27. We started drinking various alcoholic drinks, I can’t even remember them all - Pernod, I will always remember it because of the name, and some others, not loads, a few, and also a sweet sherry at the neighbour’s house. Fine on Christmas Day, enjoyed it and then got up Boxing Day to go home, my sister and her husband were going to work and took me back, felt sick before getting in the car, feeling worse as we neared where I lived. Stopped the car literally in the road where I lived - I was sick in the road at 6 o’clock in the morning and had a migraine for I think two days after that. Never drank alcohol from that day to this, and I am now in my fifties. I wish my sister and her husband had told me you should not mix alcoholic drinks, it would have saved me all the palaver, I was a very light drinker, didn’t drink much until that occasion. I now drink Diet-Coke or Lemonade, or an orange juice, or my beloved tea. Very occasionally I have an alcohol-free glass of white wine or Nonsecco at my sister’s or the former when I am at mine, in the evening with snacks or dinner. That’s it. You don’t need alcohol in social situations, in spite of other peoples’ judgements.

My brother died of Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis this year.. he was only 49. He had it back in 2020 but recovered from it. I guess this time his body was not strong enough to fight it. He wasn't an alcoholic.. but he had a drink problem while holding down a long term job. His poison was all those cheap ciders.. all need banning IMO.
Personally l think he suffered with depression and anxiety.. but he would never tell anyone if he did. From diagnoses with cirrhosis of the liver.. Decompensated.. he lasted 12 years. Decompensated is very bad because it's progressive like a cancer. He died while unconscious in hospital. My dad warned him years ago.. but he never listened . He was the type of guy who was gonna do what he wants to do.. unfortunately.. that stubbornness killed him.

@@stevencurry215 All good, mate. A bit fresh this morning, here in Melbourne, -1*, but good to be alive!!
My dad is 84 and just lost his wife. I spent a week with him. When I arrived it took him 5 minutes to get off the sofa and come to the door. He was wearing nothing from the waist down. Within 5 minutes of me being there he fell over and I had to pick him up and get him into his pyjamas. The local shop told me he has been coming in for a 500ml bottle of vodka a day plus 2 L of light beer. He improved a lot while I was there but I have no idea how he is going to get dry from where he is. I am going in a few weeks to spend some more time with him.

Sorry to hear, hope you all are ok
@@stevencurry215 He improved last time I went for a week - however - one night I went out with a friend and when I got back he was asleep on the sofa. In the morning he was in a bad mood swearing etc and saying he feels lousy. I found an empty 1 litre Smirnoff. He had been out to the local shop. They know not to sell him the hard stuff "he said it was for someone else". Idiots. I had to tell them not to sell him vokda whether it is for someone else or not. It seems a lire of vodka makes him feel normal for 1 day and then he feels worse for 2 days after. He has improved the last week though and is on 4 cans of stella artois a day.

Im seven months sober.
And Im going to share something that people may not like.
Im at AA have a sponsor, attend meetings.
All of my socialising involved alcohol.
It became a major problem.
Arrested, criminal record at the age of 54.
Almost lost family, home.
But sobriety has been a very difficult journey for me.
My life now is vapid and pointless
No excitement nothing to look forward too.
Yes I know the benefits.
But these do not counter the fact that I would describe my life as purgatory.
Alcohol is death by the quick route
Sobriety the slow.
In many ways being sober has caused me more pain than when i drank.
Im caught between a rock and a hard place.
Life awful when I was drinking
Even worse when sober

Hi Ant thank you for your story it’s an unusual take o alcohol however I do see where you are coming from because you have lost your social life. I was the same I lived in the pub all my days & nights revolving around drinking when I retired
Mine was a forced sober because I had medical issues but I’m well and fit now & would not like to return to drinking. Please subscribe and keep watching there are some interesting people on here with vast knowledge 👍
just take another kind of stimulant bro, literally everything is better for your health than alcohol. there stimulants which can even replicate the feelings of alcohol without the hangover ;)

I’ve been drinking heavily for 14 years (started at 18) now that I am 32 I’m really noticing a bad turn in my health. I had to go hospital because of severe heart palpitations and severe breathing issues. I quit for a month then started again, had a 3 day bender on the weekend and haven’t felt the same since. I’ve quit since, the last 2 nights I’ve had severe withdrawals and it’s unbearable. I’m getting body shakes, random body twinges, restlessness and the inability to drift off to sleep because it feels like my heart rate won’t go low enough to let me as there’s probably still alcohol in my system. I’m not going to give up in giving up but this withdrawal process is truly so hard, I’m dealing with this on my own as well. I’m now aware that I can’t ever drink again as how I’ve felt lately has scared me, I’ve just cleared my whole house of alcohol and I’m so ready to be the healthy young lad I once was. I miss feeling normal 😢

@@stevencurry215 Not a doctor mate, hospital accident and emergency. Like I said, you're a long term drinker, but you've obviously never had it bad enough to go through severe withdrawals. Read his message with care you patronising git. He said he'd just been on a 3 day bender. You're in this just for clicks obviously.
@@stevencurry215 what did that guy say? I think they deleted their comment, I saw your reply, I have managed to cut down alcohol entirely and I feel incredible. Getting past the withdrawals was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I didn’t even think it was possible for that to happen to me, very surreal. I have been truly humbled by it. My pains have completely gone and I’m breathing way better now. Alcohol is literally poison, people don’t realise the effects it has on the blood etc. Very scary that it’s so normalised

18 months ago I met the woman of my dreams and fell head over heels for her. Then every few weeks she would get nasty with me, usually over the phone (she’d been drinking) and in the following days she would apologise and tell me it’s just something she did occasionally and she would stop it entirely as she didn’t want to lose me.
Things got no better and every few weeks she drank several litres of vodka in a few hours, get nasty with me while still able and usually end up in hospital.
I’ve tried with all my heart to help her with doctors, alcohol groups etc but the best she’s achieved is about 6 weeks.
It’s just happened again and I have not spoken to her in a few days now, I’m so utterly exhausted and in despair from it. My head says walk away but my heart wants to keep trying.
I just don’t know what to do or if it’s even possible to ‘fix’ her?
Hi there sorry to hear about your dilemma here . She really needs a personal reason to want to stop drinking at such dangerous levels …I have an e book out I will send you the link it’s very informative and tells how I was on deaths door because I couldn’t control my Alcohol consumption.
It’s heart breaking when i hear of partners trying to help.
Try and talk to her about the benefits of long term sobriety and health benefits.

@@BRIANDER100 Hi. It varied to be honest. Being scientific. 150-180 units of alcohol per week typically or 12-14 bottles of Prosecco and a lot of gin and tonic mixers. Then pints of beer at weekends. Basically a lot and every day without fail.

passed away. And a Chap I went to School with was the Best student ,Best job but then his girlfriend took off,
and he literally Drank his life away , went to his Funeral 43. ( I heard Guilt and Loss are behind Alcoholism too).

The alcohol industry likes to mask the concept of alcohol related medical problems at an older age. Just look at drink ads. Its ALWAYS younger folks. Nobody is over 30 and everyone is looking sexy. Walk into a pub or bar sometime. Heavy drinkers dont look like models! Its a great mental exercise to do if you want to cut down or stop for good. Anytime Im playing gigs at bars, I dont drink because I want to observe what booze really does to people with clear eyes. I also dont drink during performances because Im an acoustic solo act. So my voice and fingers need to be 100% for a good show. But Im no saint. I will make a few celebratory drinks post show once at home. Wouldnt mind trading those harmful drinks for a relaxing epsom salt soak post show instead. Im 31 and not getting any younger. Plus Ive seen relatives drink at older age and that just doesnt seem to fit with my life goals of being able to write, record, and peform music live til i drop dead. Not to mention I love to do a lot of outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, kayaking, and frisbee golfing. Those are hard to do when nursing a hangover or having serious medical issues.

I was a hard core alcoholic, but quit cold turkey in 1991. Quitting alcohol was the easy part. My thinking and value system had to change completely, that took some doing. I’m 66 years old now and look ten years younger. You’d never think I had a drinking problem. But to get this lucky took some work.

And its not beer they're having, its strong liquor, almost every day.

Hi steven .thanks for posting.. ive been sober now for ten/10 years..was put on a community detox programe back in 2014.for one year.

4 years AF. Willpower will only get you so far, it has to be a complete mind shift of telling yourself that your relationship with alcohol is over. It is hard, your habits change, the way you socialise changes, probably the hardest part is that your previous social circle will disappear but in time will recognise this as a major positive. Life gets better, healthier and more congruent with who you really are. If you are struggling just try and keep going because it will be the single best thing you ever do for yourself and those who stick around.

Anyway I stoped when I got barred from local..
Suffice to say most I drank with long dead. Even my local now a tesco…
Nearly died from liver cirrhosis years later, do had hepatitis c without knowing it..

@@stevencurry215 done..just strange sitting in on a saterday night but loving it.
Once chains could not hold me from going out.!! But the morning after was hell, especially after whiskey and beer.. the sweats and headaches, the feeling. The day after ruined too.
Love now the fresh feeling each day and last thing on my mind now is to hit a pub or buy drink..
To stop totally I left my area and went to live in different part of Dublin and found it easy as knew no one.. so no one calling to get me to pub…
Am 64 now… I counted 17 people I knew, now dead..
I know there are more..
If I can stop.. most can.
Just be totally determined, I was… local tryed to get me back by offering me free drink.!!
That’s what really made me determined.. they wanted my hard earned cash..
I had the last laught.🧐🇮🇪🇬🇧
Managed to quit in 2017, drugs n smoking. Now diagnosed with OCD, major depression and anxiety,.taking 3 different mental health medication and no longer working.
Hi sorry to hear about your health issues, are your medications helping at all ?
It may sound stupid or boring but if nothing else is working try plain old regular exercise.
It helps with both mental and physical health
@@davidhiggins3986 100 % agreed… exercise is so vital for general health, please subscribe to the channel your comments will always be welcome 👍
@@stevencurry215 yes, but does have to be increased to get benefits. Alcohol and drugs just masked everything and when I stopped drinking, all my issues were unchained. I would never go back to alcohol though. I don't trust myself to have 'a' drink.
Saint Augustine - the worst of revellers and sinners - eventually came to this realisation: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you". Try reading his book "Confessions"; there is help for you, indeed.
I’ve been a binge/heavy drinking for 15 years since I was suffering from anxiety/bipolar.
Done a few detoxes. Done rebab etc.
50 now and just gone back from hols and was not feeling well. Put it down to normal hangover etc. BUT for the first time ever I have stance/numb feeling slow my right ribs.
I stopped then. This was only 12 days ago and it is improving as is everything else. Pain has gone but it frightened me!!

Great insight. I had two pub friends both die before they were 50 with liver cancer. I’ve been a on and off drinker all my life. Currently only drink here and there. I’m 17 months clean and sober from drugs, a shackle I ‘ honestly’ never thought I would be able to break. The trick was to dump all my friends except the non drug using ones. Pack up and move interstate to live with supportive family. I’ve done a complete 180. I think this is the same method or similar at least that would be needed with alcohol. Do what Steve has done. Change your life, habits, friend, diet, exercise regime, healthy like minded people in your life, no booze, and you will no longer be chained to the bottle. I feel great drug free and simply amazed at how in the very end when I had to.. knocking on the door.. had to, I was able to pull through and cast the demons back to hell.
Thanks for sharing Steve.

Tremendously brave.
Your opening piece could be all of my friends and I.
I am 59 now but have never liked being drunk however, I joined a bank in 1985 and the culture was one of going to the pub after work, and during lunchtime etc.,
That feeling of being able to speak freely to people after a drink, being amiable and good company is a real lure.
I am ordinarily quite introverted so drinking felt like emancipation.
However, it is like making a pact with the devil.
He gives you sociability and takes your health in return, silently.
This is especially true in the UK as we have a greater responsibility to look after ourselves, given our stretched NHS resources.
Were we all rich we could afford the battery of checks money can buy in the US.
Thanks.
