EAT!! Alcohol is pretty useless on a full stomach.
That’s a good one too!!❤
I had that on my list and forgot to say it! Thank you for adding this! You are so right! God bless❤❤😊😊
I’m 7.5 years sober and still get cravings. Mostly at restaurants. Italian food seems to require wine. I didn’t go out for a long while. I distanced myself from all drinking friends which were the only people I hung out with. Still don’t have a lot of friends but I’m ok with that. I live with a big drinker which can be difficult but he drinks beer which doesn’t tempt me. What I thought was boredom was really just peace and learning to be alone.
About 2 years in I started exercising every day. God is good😊
Exercise is very Good!!❤
Kerry, I am right here with you. I was just talking to my wife about how I still have cravings everyday. I. Am. An. Alcholic. Nothing had ever made me feel the way that alcohol does. I'm so happy for you! 7.5 years is a long time!!!! Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉 God bless❤❤❤❤
Amazing, Kerry!! God is good! Congratulations on 7.5 years!!! ☺️❤️🎉🎊❤️
Your videos are really helpful. Thanks.
Thank you so much for saying that and you are so welcome! God bless❤❤❤❤
Today i have 30 days sober! 🤗 06/07/2024
wow
Wonderful!! Congratulations!! ❤
I’m 13 Days sober and You are a Huge Encouragement to me!!❤ Congratulations to you and thank you for commenting!!😊💞
Wow!! Good for you!!!
Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊
Great words! My idea was not to STOP something but to START living healthy. For me that was exercise, a good diet and generally just a whole new lifestyle that didn’t involve drinking. Drinking just didn’t fit into my “new” life so I left it behind. Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you jeff! I love your outlook!!! Keep up the great work! God bless😊😊😊
Great advice LD! I have several projects i need to start. Right now my anxiety is way up. I think working on a project could ease my anxiety.
Thank you Angela! I am so sorry that your anxiety is up right now. Anything I can do to help? God bless❤❤❤❤
LD It’s such an Encouragement to see all these people watching your video on a Saturday Night!!!❤ You are a Huge Inspiration to All of Us!!!❤
Thank you so much cindy!!!! It's crazy to me, I never thought I would be able to quit. Let alone be doing videos on quitting!!!! Life sure is strange! God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm on day 5 sober and feeling grateful this day is over. I'll wake up tomorrow knowing i didn't blow it❤
Congratulations!! You can do it!! 👏❤
You Got This and you will start feeling better and better real soon. I have 13 days down and I’m hanging in there with you. Stay Strong! & Reach Out if you feel overwhelmed.😊💞
That's so awesome to hear melanie!!! Congratulations on 6 days now!!!! You have the right mindset!!! Keep up the great work! God bless❤❤❤❤
Amazing, Melanie!!! You've got this!! ❤❤🎉🎉 Congratulations on 5 days!!! ❤️🎊
Melanie, I remember just waiting for the day to be over so I could just go to bed and have another day down. Just go along ,one day at a time. Don’t look in the future. It really is just today you have to think about. Not much better than waking up not hungover. I’m still grateful for that after 7 years. You can do it
I was in depression and drank heavily for 2 years straight. Just stopped one day because I turned 30 and couldnt fall asleep
I'm so sorry. Depression sucks. That's so good to hear that you quit though! That's so awesome to hear! Thank you for watching! God bless❤❤❤😊😊😊
I'm so glad that you pulled yourself away from coping with alcohol. How are you doing now? Wishing for you only the best. ❤😊
A craving mentally lasts 15min.
My psychologist told me that one. Get busy for 15min after that it’s willpower
Exactly Kristen!💞 I’m staying super busy. It feels like I turned into a different person.❤
@@CMoore8539 Awesomesauce !!!
I stay super busy too… mine busy is different these days though.
Proud of ya ❤️🫶🏻🙏🏻
You are right. They don't last long. Find something to get your mind off of it for a few and they go away. Thank you Kristen! God bless❤❤❤❤
Love this!! I just learned something new 😊❤️
@@CMoore8539I get this, Cindy! It's crazy how many hours you realize are actually in a day when you're not losing so much time drinking! Haha
Very good topic LD. I love Topo Chico in the bottle with lime. ❤👌🏻👌🏻 happy Saturday to you and everyone. Please take time for self care love and hugs 🤘🏻💚💚💚💚
Thank you mona!!! I love topo Chico myself! First time I ever had it, I was in the hospital. I will never forget that. Happy Sunday to you! God bless❤❤❤❤
A Fresca or a LaCroix is awesome to drink to beat a craving. Espom salt bath has magnesium sulfate in it that relaxes you by helping your circulation and blood flow. It's a great sleep aid and helps lower your blood pressure.
Oh my gosh diana! I love fresca!!! I really enjoy Epsom salt baths too! Thank you! God bless❤❤❤❤❤
Omg!!! I forgot about fresca!!! I have a BBQ at the end of June and you KNOW what I'll be filling my cooler with!! As well as seltzer lol ❤
@amandaflaherty7528 Yes, Fresca is better than seltzer.
@DianaCarolinaGirl22 I like both for different reasons, but Fresca is super refreshing! I actually just picked some up today haha
Thanks LD! Very important topic. Hope you got some well deserved rest!❤ Beautiful day at your place! Have a good weekend.
You are so welcome! I did!!@ i hope you did too and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! God bless❤❤❤❤
Really appreciate your caring, loving attitude. That's your channel's "secret sauce." We love you so much back!! Thanks for all your hard-won, caring advice! 🙌❤🌷❤
Thank you Kathryn! Hahahaha!!!! I love your analogy!!!! " secret sauce" !!!! They used to call me the sauce boss back in the day.... just kidding!!!!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂 hope you are having a wonderful day!!!! God bless
At this point in my sobriety I still have the thoughts about drinking but I quickly remember what booze did to me . Booze is poison . Find a support group.
Alcohol 🍷 really is a Drug and it really is a Poison ☠️. They say that alcohol does damage to every single cell in the body! It makes me wonder how it can still be Legal and Socially Excepted…☠️ I almost killed my own self with it!
Thank you for sharing! Great advice! God bless❤❤❤
Totally agree.I'm so glad you're sober! You've got this and I'm wishing for you only the best! 😊❤️
So right LD.
Once my “zipper” healed (a cpl of weeks ago) from having two masses removed from my pancreas caused by chronic pancreatitis, I was climbing the walls. Being recent empty nesters w three “empty” (no. Occupants lol) bedrooms, I decided to tackle one room at a time. I have a long way to go, thank God, bc as you said- time passes sooo fast. I’m “rehabilitating” from surgery, and years of being laid up! I’ve lost SO MUCH MUSCLE MASS- but imma get it back! Having that sickness out, and taking pancreatic enzymes w every meal has me feeling like I can accomplish anything! In time….. 🙏🏼.
You’ve been through a Lot.❤ I was in the hospital too. Alcohol is a poison ☠️ and it destroys everything it touches. I only have 13 days. I’ve been home from the hospital 1 week and I’m cleaning every single thing in my house. I’m even starting a little flower garden 🌸🌼🌺🌻
I think staying busy is Key. Take good care of you and keep us updated on your progress. ~Cindy 💞
Pancreatic enzymes? Are they a prescription?
@@CMoore8539 GMTA- and I’m feeling accomplished! Please let me know how progress is coming? ❣️
@@christycomer373 yes thee are, but they do have OTC, too. I lost 1/2 my pancreas and enzymes help my body digest and absorb nutrients from the food. I’ve been malnourished to the point of hospitalization before so hopefully they keep me outta there! 🙏🏼
I am so happy to hear this!!!! You really have me intrigued about the enzymes now. They keep talking about putting me on them, but haven't pulled the trigger. What have you noticed that is different since taking them? I am really interested to hear back from you!!!! Whenever you get a chance. Thank you so much in advance! God bless❤❤❤❤
I feel like if you truly want to give it up that the last thing you’d want is NA beer.
I never drank for taste so I don’t have any use for NA beer either.👍💞
I agree Christine, it's like playing with gas and matches. Something is going to happen. Thank you! God bless❤❤❤
Well Ron and I bonded over sports and Captain Morgan. Would watch here at home or at the local club. Now that he's gone I can't stand the wide receiver not being there near the end zone. I start yelling at the TV and get all hyper intensive. For now, no sports...enjoying listening to Christian music helps ME.
Music 🎶 Is real good as long as it’s positive and doesn’t trigger us.😊💞
I completely understand, I am so sorry. I'm sure there are so many things that you guys did together that you have a hard time with now. I hope you are having a great day! God bless ❤❤❤❤❤
Great advice LD❤👍👏🫂🙏. Thank you 🫂
Note to self: do not attempt to watch LD video while babysitting your 4 year old grandaughter. Yell, scream, grab phone, throw it. I try again later.
😂😂😂
Hahahahaha
That’s great that you’re spending time with your grand. You’re building beautiful memories with her.💞🌹
Hahahahaha!!!!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊😊
Hahahaha I hope your phone made it out okay 😂❤
Thank you So Much LD for making this video!❤ 13 Days alcohol free and so far so good but I have been concerned about my birthday next week. I may struggle on my birthday but I Shall Not Drink!! I have a sober family member who I will be spending the day with. They have been sober for 11 years and really really Hate alcohol so it should be helpful. I’m staying super busy too.
I would like to give you a few tips to help, if only on the day/night of your birthday ( if you get through that day you will be so proud of yourself)
1. Your birthday is really just another day. Don’t play it up in your mind.
2. Eat plenty. Treat yourself to as much of your favourite food as you can.
3. When you see people, family and friends drinking, imagine the poison sign ( skull and crossbones) on their glasses and bottles. Don’t envy them drinking, feel sorry that they don’t know what they are doing to their brain, liver, pancreas etc. they will be having to process all that toxic liquid the next few days. You will wake up feeling great.
4. Treat yourself to a nice gift for the next day! It doesn’t have to be big. A plant for the garden, a special food you love… Wishing you all the best for you and have a fab sober, healthy birthday that you will remember with joy!
Sending love from England. ❤
You are so welcome cindy! I am so happy to hear that you are staying busy! It helps so much! And you are starting a flower garden too!!!! That's right up my alley! Everyday you water them, they have changed just a little, it's so much fun!!! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help for your birthday, I know how tough it is. Congratulations on 14 days now!!!!! That's so awesome! God bless❤❤❤❤
@@jackie-be-aliveI love these ideas! And I love the idea especially for treating yourself the next day. It's like a treat for doing good stuff for yourself the day before, and it's a nice way to come down from the excitement of the day before. 😊
Congratulations on 14 days sober, Cindy!! 🎉🎉❤🎊🎊You should be so proud of yourself!! I hope you have a great week and I'm sure you'll have a great time with your family on your birthday. To them on 11 years!! 🎉🎊❤️
What's your favorite meal and your favorite dessert? I hope you feel get both if those things on your birthday 🎂🥳
I haven’t been out to eat in 15yrs lmao!
I realized I’m not fun to live with.
I’m prickly like a cactus 🌵
Nope not going too busy
I can make it better lol
Wow!!!!15 years? Really? Why don't you go out? Is it a trigger for you? Thank you Kristen! God bless❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I don’t know LD. I go out just not past say 2.
I am safe at home. Too many people, not enough patience, I’ve always only gone out if I needed something.
We used to take “R” to movies, out to eat, events, we’d go to football games but now that he’s out & 19 idk. Ok so 15 yrs was a bit of a stretch.. I don’t know what it is.
OCD… negative intrusive thoughts?
I’ve become extremely rigid after my surgery to save my life. We moved here in 2011. I was living, thriving & then BAM 💥 life happened and once again outside wasn’t safe.
I run out but straight back.
I’m stuck in the “freeze” response.
Fight, flight, fawn or freeze. Surgery triggered something I can’t explain it.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk Now that I think about it I think it comes down to trying to control my anxiety, rage or any other negative feeling I’d have in response to other people.
I know I can’t learn anything if I don’t go out. (Therapist in my head)
I’ve become a recluse lol!
I didn’t go out much back home either.
❤❤ love you, Kristen!!
Just fast forward that drink in your mind. Is it worth it?
You are so right! Thank you! God bless😊😊😊
I have to say being sober for as long as I have I’m kinda over feeling like an “addict” going to the pharmacy to get allergy med. like come on already. Pseudoephedrine is controlled ? I can do self checkout no prob but asking for allergy med makes me feel like an addict all over again.
I know exactly what you are talking about! That's the only stuff that works. They make meth out of that stuff I think, that's why they ask for ID I believe. I'm sorry that you went through that Kristen. Hope you are having a good day other than that. God bless❤❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I know lol!
Yeah don’t have a meth lab .. it’s just stupid, idiotic & meth is already on the streets. Lmao! I have to laugh or I’d cry. It’s ok I just dont like it.
Ty LD for posting this … I did ask about if you still got cravings & how you dealt with them.
My birthday is coming up as well in about 3 weeks…. Right before the 4th of July.
You gave me a lot of good ideas.
I worked in a restaurant as well for many years until covid forced us to close our doors…. Very, very sad.
But TY for all your tips.
Have a good day.
You are so welcome christy!!!! I hope that some of these ideas help! I'm going to put your birthday on my calendar so I can remember to tell you happy birthday! God bless
Hey LD just catching up with this video. Hope you’re having a nice day. My journey started with you popping up in my feed randomly. I wasn’t even searching or watching videos on alcoholism or AUD…and there you were in November right around thanksgiving. I didn’t start this journey thinking I had an issue; however, after watching your daily videos and really taking a hard look at myself i now realize I do have a problem. I’ve been quitting since January just on my own as although I binged and would slam drinks like you explained I managed never to go too far off the ledge but boy was I close. LD I continue to quit, I know it will stick. I struggle on the weekends and celebrations. Well I owe you so much for just opening my eyes and so many others. When you’re still functional it’s easier to manage and hide but I recognize that will change at some point if I continue. So today I’m not drinking. Thank you LD and everyone on here that show love and shared their stories. It’s helped me so much.
I had almost a year sober. I started drinking on saturdays again and im VERY sick. Take it from me its NOT worth it for anyone who is thinking about having a drink. Its a beautiful day today wasted because im sick. Thanks as always for the video! Im going to walk instead of drink next saturday when I will prob have cravings again. I love walking. I'm back at day 1 no alcohol.
Great job getting back up Visam!! You've got this! I'm sorry you got sick..I believe in you! I hope you have a great week! ❤️😊❤️
@@amandaflaherty7528 Thank You so much!! ☺️❤️
Hi Visam I’m sorry you’re struggling but you’re taking the right steps to get back to quitting. I have done the same thing over and over again. It’s ok no worries, just keep resetting and get back on it. It will stick, that’s what I’m hoping for as well.
@@Micru866 Thank you very much! ☺️❤️
@@visam28absolutely you got this. Just focus on today, even if it’s one hour at time. Don’t look too far ahead is what helps me.
❤ heb water
Hi Kristen, what is heb water?
@@Mmoose712 HEB is the grocery store here in Texas.
Woah it’s awesome!! They sell there brand fizzy water 33.8oz for .78 now.
Used to b .50 all flavors
Crab raspberry, peach, lime, orange 🍊 you name it they have it.
HEB supports all our sports teams.
I can only go at 7-8am it’s too stimulating for me then add all the people. Woah!
Krogers is always dead. lol
I replied huh don’t know where it went. HEB is our grocery store.
36oz of water like “bubly” just .78 cents. So good. All flavors
Don’t know where it goes replied 3X now… just a fizzy flavored water here in Texas at one of our chain grocery stores
This happens to me all the time and I'm never sure if the person I'm commenting to ever saw my comment haha
I am 51 my bro would have been 49 for some background. I’ll never forget the day he decided it was “ok” to drink one of my dad’s non alcoholic beers.
I want to say he was under 17. My dad lit into him good.
My dad screamed at him saying “just because it says no alcohol are you 21?”
“Don’t you ever touch my stuff ever again! You aren’t allowed to drink that period.”
I am so sorry Kristen. I know how much you miss him. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rk that obvious?
He is always on my mind always
@@liverdisease-qb6rk it’s only here I feel safe enough to share & allow yall in. ❤️🩹
Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.❤
Thank you Cindy!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ God bless😊😊😊😊😊
Ya man I think you gotta get that carbonation high. Anything with carbonation helps.
Hey man! Thank you! Hope you are having a great weekend! God bless 😊😊😊
You’re right, it's a fact that quitting booze not only makes your world a better place to be in, good things start to “magically” happen and the energy is insane! Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever, that’s the best shortcut I go’ogled that took less than a week to work without suffering withdrawal.
On being occupied.
Movies " any horror "
Doesn't = a catheter .
Have been convinced
Of 2 duis
×15,000
But... if i were to x the times ive drivin
Black out drunk....
...and not remember how i got home...
Im just very glad i didnt kill any innocent travelers....
what works for me is warm of hot liquid, especially when it is like a soup, from an instant knorr or something, it has a good taste, and calms down the stomach especially when it is irritated and bloated from alchool...calms down also any nausea and opens the body to having more soups during the day... so the best that i did over the past week is just drinking alchool in the morning on an empty stomach, though i try to sneak in some water too, and then once i have eaten for the morning i try to keep clean for the whole day. I have a rehab in a week, i will be 7 days in there, no access to devices, no going outside, it will be very unusual to me but they have good reviews, there will be people with me, with same problems as me as well as carers, and i will have an ebook, there will be a medical detox, although my alchool consumption was not that high but was almost every morning..i hope for the best to keep my sobriety once out of the rehab, and this video and the ones like it are the ones that are helping me, thanks guys
The sparkling water is amazing for replacing beer. I have about a six pack a day sometimes, they are delicious. And also consuming copious amounts of sobriety community content like yours, LD! I have worked really hard to just reframe what alcohol is to me (or rather reminding myself of what it actually is in reality: straight up poison and such a stupid destructive activity).
Please speak on how alcohol can be a "gateway "
...i had to buy a German shepherd......to help find my pot.
Im still a burner.
The difference is... pot is not sold on every..street corner.....legal.
...
Iv never heard of someone robbing for thc.
❤❤❤
