One year alcohol free. I stopped on memorial day weekend last year. Cravings, thoughts, self talk, sneaking around, hiding stuff, has fade away. How? My mother in law, sister in law, and her son . All moved out. I have the house back. The energy bill down. Peace and quiet. No pills or therapy help. Just peace and quiet and my house back. Update: still havent a drop, no cravings, barely a thought,
@Lacking_something How will this sip help me? What is my wife and daughter see me putting this bottle to my head. How will this liquid affect my lover, my heart, my brain, my actions, and how my family will think about me
Ten years sober, well done everyone else. Thing is, when I was drinking I'd have avoided this like the plague, because I knew. The shame was excruciating.
If you can go two full days without any alcohol then you definitely don’t have a physical dependence yet. Which is really good because that’s when it gets really dangerous. Once you physically need alcohol to function is when you might need medical care to stop. If you’re noticing withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop or cut back then you know you’re addicted physically. Withdrawals usually start within 6-24 hours after your last drink when stopping or cutting back. That’s all not to say you don’t have a problem with alcohol when you do drink though. If it’s affecting your life negatively when you do drink you might have a problem. If it’s affecting your work and social and family life. If you’re drinking and driving. If you’re engaging in other dangerous and risky behavior. That is to say doing things you wouldn’t do sober. When you do drink if you can’t stop once you start drinking or you’re drinking high amounts in a short period of time, which is called binge drinking. These are all signs that it is an alcohol abuse disorder now.
@@slickone777 ok we are getting somewhere but which one? All day IPAs? Sierra Nevada hazy little thing? Which ipa? I’m trying to figure out your base daily average of drinks.
I have been alcohol free for 28,105 days. To those who been able to completely stop drinking I say well done. For those who haven’t you know exactly what’s coming yet you won’t stop. More and more people are stopping every day because the science has been testing and finally they’ve determined that NO ALCHOL IS SAFE TO DRINK!! “Moderate drinking“ is no longer considered safe and there are no benefits either.
There has never been any correlation between binge drinking, daily drinking and alcohol dependence. If you use alcohol as a crutch then you need to get help for the underlying issues. Quitting drinking will not help you do this whatsoever and will ensure that you relapse.
Crappy video. Like most on the internet. 1) It’s dangerous to talk warning signs. You might not get any. Might just get severe brain damage sneak up on you. 2) It’s not really expensive at all. At least in the US you can get drunk for $5. 3) The suicidal ideation is usually nothing to do with mental health, it’s outright brain damage. Trying to quit and not being able may also be brain damage. In the frontal lobe where your decision making and executive functioning should prevail. Personality changes.. also brain damage 4) Why justify “social drinking as ok?” If drinking alone is bad then the shit must be toxic. Nobody cares if you smoke cigarettes or even weed alone. Why is it so ok to get brain damage with others around but not by yourself?
www.youtube.com/@joesacco9832 Thank you for your comment! It’s clear that you have some strong thoughts on this topic, and we appreciate the chance to engage in a meaningful conversation. Let me address a few points: On Warning Signs and Brain Damage: You're right that alcohol can cause serious damage to the brain, and in some cases, it may not always present obvious warning signs. Alcohol use, especially heavy or long-term, can affect brain function in subtle ways, but that doesn't mean that all alcohol consumption leads to brain damage. However, it is definitely important to acknowledge the risks, especially when it comes to chronic use. On Cost and Accessibility of Alcohol: You bring up an interesting point about how alcohol can be very cheap, particularly in the U.S. While cost is certainly a factor in alcohol consumption, the price is just one element of a broader conversation about the health and social impacts of drinking. On Suicidal Ideation and Brain Damage: There’s a growing understanding that alcohol use and mental health are deeply interconnected, and that alcohol can indeed contribute to brain damage over time, affecting both cognitive function and emotional regulation. However, it’s also important to recognize that mental health issues like depression or anxiety can also lead to suicidal ideation, regardless of alcohol use. In any case, seeking help from professionals is crucial for anyone experiencing these thoughts. On Social Drinking vs. Drinking Alone: Your question about why drinking with others is seen as more socially acceptable than drinking alone is a thought-provoking one. Social norms around alcohol often downplay the risks, especially in social settings where drinking is normalized. But you're right-alcohol is toxic, whether consumed alone or with others. It’s important to challenge these norms and make informed choices about consumption, whether socially or solo. Ultimately, our aim with this video (and others) is to raise awareness and encourage healthy decision-making. We encourage viewers to consider the potential consequences of drinking and to make choices that support their mental and physical well-being. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts-this is definitely an important conversation to keep having!
I'm watching this, in my car parked in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I'm going to sleep here for the 3rd night in a row. We got in another fight. Not over my drinking per se, but I know my drinking was a catalyst to it. I sit here, with $160 in my bank account, a few more white claws in me (I'm not driving anywhere. Camping out. One of thing I don't do is do is drink and drive), having to work at 7AM, with no shower or anything available. I need to admit the truth. To myself and to my family. I'm just so scared of what that looks like.

How will this sip help me?
What is my wife and daughter see me putting this bottle to my head.
How will this liquid affect my lover, my heart, my brain, my actions, and how my family will think about me
63 days of no alcohol for me
So happy for you, I pray you have continued sobriety! God bless you.
👌 👏 Awesome.
Well done!
Cool 😊
You ll soon realize you don't need it and stop counting
At least it happened to me
Pray for you!
Ten years sober, well done everyone else. Thing is, when I was drinking I'd have avoided this like the plague, because I knew. The shame was excruciating.
once you resist the temptation a few times, the cravings get weaker.
I quit when covid-19 hit...I figured a couple of weeks should do me good...3 1/2 years later covid is still around and I feel great!
I have gone 90 days without a single drop of alcohol.
Brilliant!
One day sober and I trying really hard I’ve lost good jobs and people in my life because of alcohol

There may be a psychological addiction.
I drink 3 tall cans everyday should I seek medical help when trying to quit?
@@slickone777 three tall cans of what? Budweiser, Heineken or something stronger? 24oz or less?
@@james_daniels IPA's and it's usually less than 24 oz cans (19.2 oz)

Thanks, good advice, I will cut back on my consumption,

@neil_down_south No typo. I’m 77.
Red spider capillaries on your ankles is a sure sign you're over doing the booze, seeing pink elephants is end stage alcoholism.
20 years for me 😊

I only drink on the days that end with "Y" so I think I'm ok.
I have been dry 10 years. I have HEPATOSPLENOMEGALY. I would love nothing more than a pint of liquor . But I'll wait & have it tomorrow 😢😊
AA programme of living sobriety rocks,
I can’t understand what she’s saying. Personally, I believe any amount of alcohol has been proven to be very dangerous for every human being!
DON'T DRINK - PERIOD
Backround noise is distracting.
Where was this filmed? 🤔
TRIGGER WARNING: It'll take 3 Long Island Ice Teas (12oz.) to get through this video. Good Luck!
much you drink a day?
@@billyb4790 I ask the questions.
@@gildedage88😂🤣😂
With regard to this lady's accent, she is South African
I have a serious alcohol problem, i need help. Just chugged 6 pack of stella.
Are you trolling
Google alcohol treatment center, they have some day programs, half day program. Some provide pick up and drop off. It's been a great help. Good luck.
Sounds to me like your biggest problem is drinking crappy beer!
I struggled to understand the lady's accent and with the audio/visual being slightly out of sync. I had to give up after a minute or so.
Eyebrows?
She's been drawing round a bottle cap.
😆😆😆
She is trying to help people. That is uncool to throw personal insults. What are you two doing to help humanity?
