Thank you! I am 54 and stopped 3 weeks ago😊 You said it so good: stop or die. So I must continou this path! I ' ve tried many times... I will watch you a lot in the future, love your channel❤ Thanks
It’s worth it❣️. AA didn’t work for me and I white knuckled it! Mine was Chardonnay or pino Grigio and I’ve only recently realized that I was bad for 6 months! I can tell the exact day I quit because my dog tripped me going UP the stairs and I broke my left humerus into a million little pieces, as described by the orthopaedic surgeon! Due to having to wait for nearly3 weeks for surgery it had tried to heal so he said it was like a giant jigsaw puzzle! Turned out that I was severely osteoporotic and my bones were like glass. I am finally undergoing counselling with the correct type of psychologist and have been sober 12 years, yay me
I appreciate how open you were about AA and how people hit on you. I’m trying to go sober currently and I have men trying to “swoop in” and talk to me about it. And I always get irritated thinking how often this happens.
I'm coming up on 6 years sober from heroin, crack, benzos you name it and I hated meetings. I just felt I don't want to talk about 4 years of my life for the rest of my life and some of the self indulgence and excuses really annoyed me. I went to a woman's only meeting amd that was worse some of the stories I heard made me want to go out and use they were so horrific and iff meetings help those women all power to them but its just not for me. I went online and tried to find a recovery group that wasn't based in religion amd there's none. I might start my own you can be a great, kind lovely person and not be a "christian".
People need to be careful with alcohol withdrawal. My son was abusing alcohol and had seizures during withdrawal. He’d never had a seizure before in his life.
I was an alcoholic, 2 months sober here in Australia. I wish I could say it was my decision but I drank a bottle of vodka a day for 3yrs after losing my mum and ended up in hospital with pancreatitis and now if i drink i risk losing an organ that stopped me!😊
Great that you realized that and quit when you did. I'm not a drinker (have other issues though), but I do wish every alcoholic could see themselves drunk like everyone else who lives with or spends time with them does. Many times they like like totally different people. I lived with a relative who drank hard, and did amphetamine, simultaneously, for 14 years. It was a nightmare. I watched him go through rehab at least 10X and would enjoy a few weeks or months of this other person. But then, back we go. He continued to drink hard over another 20 years before quitting at a low point. Shock he was able to quit. His own dad died a horrible alcoholic, literally in a gutter. My family member is a writer, too. Still is. Amazing how many writers, are alcoholics. We watched many family friends drink themselves to death. It takes a real special person to get out of that hole. Congrats. So glad you had the strength to save yourself. I'm sure you really made your family and real friends quite happy and relieved as well. I like your videos so much. We have a lot in common, even if not the drinking. It's hard not following the normal getting married, having kids path sometimes. Leaves us with many more decisions.
I’m 63 and I relate to you in so many ways. I came back from a vacation and I drank 3 bottles of liquor and several bottles of wine and I had to drive back 500 miles with the shakes . I decided I needed to do something. I have been sober 10 days now and I do feel better. It doesn’t help that my husband is an alcoholic also and begs me to drink with him
Yeah AA never been for me! 45 now & trying for the 3rd time in my life to stay off the vino (red) for me! So hard though. Managed 6 years before & well life did not exactly improve so find it weird how life can get so much better for some once sober but not always the case. Got worse for me & I relapsed when lockdown hit. Trying to find reasons to sober up again. 😢
Bravo for your courage and tenacity! Alcohol is the worst addiction there is because it can be found everywhere. My family was also affected by it which is why I always stayed away from it.... I love you! Keep going! You are so inspiring!
I love your attitude! I'm 53 and grew up with an alcoholic parent. He never got help.😢 You were aware and now you can enjoy life!! Proud of you for looking after #1. ❤
