    I have watched so many of your videos this week. I have had a drinking problem for a while, I tried and failed so many times to quit. I finally broke down and told my boss about it. She has been amazing with me. I was embarrassed and ashamed but I needed someone to know. Since then I have found so much comfort and help in your videos. I just want to say a massive thank you, your videos are saving my life ❤️ thank you

I'm grateful to have stumbled upon this channel when I first wanted to get sober. I'm so much happier now, never believed I could be until getting off the booze. To anyone still struggling, you CAN do this, it's just going to be hard at first but it gets easier and it will get better ❤

    Day 46 clean of alcohol since coming out of self admitted medical detox.
    I was completely lost and drinking anything from 16 to 20 units of beer every night and my liver has been slammed for it.
    The simple thought of the fridge getting low would cause anxiety and made me an ugly person.
    Long way to go still in my recovery, but I don't want to ever look back.

    Alcohol pretended to be my friend for 25 years. It lured me in with false promises.
    In reality it was my master. I was being dragged on a leash towards my next drink.
    The only thing that alcohol brought into my life was immense suffering.
    I am so grateful God released me from the obsession to drink.
    As of today I am 4 years 8 months and 25 days sober. 🥳

    123 days sober and I usually don't even think about drinking. BUT, when I see videos like this, trashing alcohol, I suddenly get an urge to DEFEND it!!! "WHAT ABOUT THAT BOOZEY, COZY, PEACEFUL FEEEEEEELING?!?!?!?!" LOL. it's weird for sure. But one thing I DEFINITELY can say is that I constantly felt mad, or guilty, or ashamed, or depressed about myself when I was drinking, asking "Why aren't i strong enough to CONTROL my drinking?" and "How much damage is this doing to me?" "Why aren't I stronger???" My self esteem and my sense of power have definitely increased and these feelings have positively impacted my health, my house, my job, my insights about my problems., and THAT is freaking priceless. I have HOPE now. I LOVE having hope.

    This video was a wake up call for me, I did 5 months sober not long ago but had my first slip up in February this year, that 5 months was easily the best 5 months of my life, after my first slip up I fell back into doing it every weekend and I’ve become that anxious unconfident version of myself I was before I went sober, I’m 3 weeks sober now and I can’t wait to get back to that point only this time I’m never going back. I learnt so many lessons about myself during that 5 months, I was mentally bulletproof, beaming with positive energy inspiring those around me, shocked at the new version that I’d become. I’ve slipped back into my old ways but I know what it feels like to be 5 months sober, and that feeling is the best feeling I’ve ever known, time to get my life back, my happiness back, and get rid of this crippling anxiety and unstable emotions❤

    On day 129 with one hiccup (*). Two weeks ago I went to an out of state wedding and had a couple at the reception. The next day feeling shards of guilt and disappointment, I watched the relapse video and processed. It really was like a brief encounter with a toxic ex, and while you think if things might be different, eventually the baggage overcomes the nostalgia. Even at the time I wondered if I really wanted this, which is probably why I had a couple and not six times a couple, as I would've in the past. Strangely, it reinforced not wanting to drink, though I'm glad I don't have anymore weddings on the horizon.

    I'm in a toxic relationship with an alcoholic in denial. She often says I'm the addict and she's not when I'm sober and she's drunk. I'm not completely sober but not alcohol dependent currently. She covers all of those points that you covered big time. Unfortunately I can't kick her out as I'm not in the business of putting vulnerable females on the street. She often threatens suicide when I try to hint at making an effort to move on... The bumber is I've never been so motivated to give up this poison.

    Four days in after a three week off and on bender. I’m 23 so I’ve only been drinking for the last not even two years, and I’ve had my fun in those times but just seeing how bad it can get hit me. I never went particularly overboard (my worst was like 12 drinks/shots a night over a two day weekend) and perhaps some day I will come back to the elixir but for the foreseeable future it was just better to quit while I was ahead and give myself a good break. The first night was pretty bad and restless, but now much of the anxiety has gone away already; just feels strange to be so energetic lol. Your videos have been a great help, and for that I thank you.

    Ive been a binge drinker on and off for about 7 years now, never really drank everyday but there were many weeks when that was the case and when i do drink the moment that first drop passes my lips it feels like im incapable of stopping. Early on it did feel like it helped ease some of the anxiety and pressure in my daily life but the last year or so more and more often its become clear that it only makes it worse. Ive quit what feels like a million times and i even spent a full year sober in 2020 but ive been struggling ever since i started again. I recently moved away from a toxic living situation and im better off financially as well. And I think im finally in the right head space to quit for good now. 3 days sober (again) currently and so far so good, im fighting some cravings and my sleep has been rough the last few nights, but i know it will get easier with time.

The peer pressure was nasty, and even though I know my family loves me, I don't think they really understand the conviction I'm trying to make. But I'll start again, the hangover won't be so bad this time probably.

That will be a huge milestone in my journey of leaving my old bad habits in the past. I hope all is well and I'll catch up with you guys soon!

    Good stuff! 15 days and feeling so much better. Steady drinker every night for 19 years. The first week was savage! Love the analogy of the ex. I’ll use that when someone offers me a drink. Looking forward to checking milestones. TY

    Love your input. Fun fact: when I was in a relationship that wasn't right for me at all I hadn't been drinking except some rare occasions and those were my early twenties. Started drinking regularly around 28 drawn into tasting craft beers and it had grown into addiction pretty quickly, probably reaching its highs when I was 31-33. The middle of May marks seven months without alcohol, my goal is to make it to one year and summer may be tough in this regard. I can only tell that it doesn't improve my social skills at all.

    Im ready to break up with alcohol. Thank you for this video. Im 37 and have been drinking hard for 20 years. Ive never looked at it as a toxic relationship before but wow what a change of perspective can do! Its been very painful to admit im addicted to alcohol and its been a very toxic way of surviving trauma and fear but its necessary! Everything i want and need is on the other side of sobriety! Im so glad i found this channel. Ive tried numerous times to stop drinking but i dont think i was ever fully invested...or i would just run back to familiarity to numb myself for the 1000th time. Im ready to commit to myself and give myself some love and grace. I just pray this time i can succeed and be proud of myself instead of despair. ❤

      The best way to succeed at sobriety is to work intensely on changing on your mindset and your habits.
      Half hearted trying does not work.
