I'm an alcoholic. I now have almost 10 months clean. The process is simple but not easy. Let the man up stairs control your sobriety and keep you sober. Whoever sees this you aren't alone, I'm here ❤
I've dabbled with both. The hard was by far the worst for me. I drained my mothers bank account in no time at all. I was hanging out with random homeless people blowing the boulders. 🤣 A.A has saved my life and it's continuing to do so. I'm still working through the steps and it's painful but completely nessecary
@Humble-Savage Thank the Lord Jesus for not drinking anymore and ask Him to forgive you and to keep you sober. He will. The Lord Bless you and He keep adding more days to your life.
I survived the alcohol addiction - it was like walking through a tornado and then swimming through a hurricane. 2.5 years SOBER. If you're reading this, you can do it. I love and support you - hope is never lost. It can be done and you can do it. GODSPEED.❤💪
Two more days and I’ll have stopped drinking alcohol for a year, it’s not easy but oh so worth it God Bless yall and 12 step programs work if you work em
Im day 3 quitting alcohal weed and edibles, i havent slept Ive barley ate Crazy aniety i never had before Hot and sweating Brutal man I drank everyday and smoked and 500 mg edibles and 1200 DAILY Keep it up, lets get out of this You're all awesome
Kxxr...will do... you are still goin' through the heebie Jeebies (detox) Set a goal for 90 days and go to a 12 step mtg every day for 90. Get a sponsor, eat and sleep well. gNever go down the alcohol aisle in a store. ONLY hang with sober folks. Yes you can, darlin!
Good for u!! Theres a whole world of people out there that lead full , exciting and happy lives....without alcohol. Find those people, adopt yourself into their groups and activities and just surround yourself with the kind of people u want to see in yourself.
I started drinking years ago as a teenage, got addicted to alcohol. Spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I remember always being the last person at the party, the last person still sitting there awake and alone. It was such a miserable time, and I kept doing it. I am now 6 moths sober, I am still lonely as hell, but I am alive and fighting one day at a time. I don’t miss those nights at all. The worst was seeing the twilight as the sun came up, no sleep, those were the darkest of nights. I now wake up at 5 am sober and it is so different to have gotten sleep. I still don’t have motivation to do anything, but I know it’s 100 times better than if I had drank or did drugs. I just have to remind myself of the horrible times on drugs and alcohol.
Good for u man for real!! I know that feeling of a constant lack of motivation. I've been off alcohol for about 5 weeks now after 20 yrs of drinking every single day. In the end I was drinking a Sleeve of Fireball shots everyday and some days 2 sleeves. Thats 10 to 20 shots everyday. I cant believe im still upright tbh. However, im 42 now and physically my body was shutting down. Thats what made me stop. My stomach was so big from bloat and probably acites that i could barely move, tie my shoes or even bend over. Yet i kept on drinking. Im so Blessed to still be here and I wish u all the best my friend!
Last Saturday I got really depressed and drank so much that I found myself lying in the bathroom floor in a pool of my own vomit. No more. I quit for 2.5 years and this was the worst relapse I’ve ever had. Time to stop drinking.
This is YOUR moment! I believe in you❤❤ I quit drinking almost 5 years ago after sitting on the side of my bed on a weekday, puking what looked like a week's worth of food all over my bedroom. I was so ashamed of being in that state of living that I just had to quit. Not a single drop of alcohol ever since. I wish the same for you.
Today is a great day to start the great journey of being clean and sober again. I know the struggle all too well, you can do this. I’m 363 days sober, clean too
I was a hopeless alcoholic for 4 years, uncontrollable, then i found Oxys , then heroin for 4 years.. left that addiction behind in 2010.. Picked up the bottle for another 7 years.. Fall down blackout drunk. Jails rehabs and managed to stay out of prison somehow. June 10th 2024 was my 7 year date. Im a single father and business owner these days. Life is hard but i choose this hard because its rewarding and fulfilling! Anyone struggling just know THERE IS HOPE AND THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!!!!
Thank you. All I know is that I will NEVER give up. I accept that as soon as I consume something that affects my bio chemistry,? I will be fucked and suspended in depression
Yes, I've had a few "wake up" calls over the last few years. Embarrassing incidents such as yelling at my next-door neighbors in the middle of the night, falling out of my chair at a wine tasting a different time. I live in a three-story house and I fear I'm going to fall drunk down the stairs if I keep it up.
@@Noworries35.36 Yes Rubber band of anxiety with drinking. New way of thinking is to guess what you could do if you did not drink instead of backward-thinking.
I am an alcoholic,it took me 42yrs to become sober,so there is hope. I now have 10 years sober.For the past 2 years, l am now on Dyalis, but alcohol caused my acute pancreas due to alcohol, l am looking at major surgery, which they don't give me 10% survival rate.This is such a true and true ,accurate message.God bless you and AA.SOOO TRUE
It’s tough to do. Rehab is expensive and a lot of us out here had to go it alone. Some of us come from family dynamics where everyone is an alcoholic. Our friends are alcoholics. I’m not saying it’s easier to quit when you come from a nontoxic family, but it is easier to relapse when you come from the bottom. Good luck out there. Sobriety is beautiful and worth the effort.
Thank you for the motivation! I've had some near-miss wake up calls that are screaming at me to stop. Like screaming at my next-door neighbors in the middle of the night. So embarrassing the regret and shame I go work out in the evening (two different gyms), and each of them has a liquor store right next door I just need to keep walking and plan something to do at home that's enjoyable besides drinking alone. Due to your inspiration I will give my body a chance / give it a rest for a while because I feel so beat up the next morning.
I used to drink almost daily between ages 17 and 27. Then, I quit cold turkey, and I haven’t had a single drink in about 5 years. Today, it’s not that I have to try not to go back to drinking; my body and mind completely reject even the idea of drinking. Being sober for so long, I now understand how dangerous and poisonous alcohol is, even if you drink 'just one glass of wine' a week and think that’s normal or acceptable. It’s not. 🚫 Alcohol brings nothing but headaches and unexpected pregnancy (I learned that the hard way😂). To everyone struggling out there: take it from someone who HAD to have a buzz at least once a night to cope with life. It’s been almost 5 years since my last drink, and alcohol means NOTHING to me now. If I can go from being a loser with no career, money, hope, and dreams to who I am now, you can absolutely do it too.
Thank you for the inspiration; I appreciate it very much . When I'm honest with myself, I have had a problem for decades . I am shy/socially awkward and know I need to learn how to be social without the "help". With friends like alcohol, who needs enemies, right?
I suffer with alcoholism.... its an awful disease.... I have a physical allergy to alcohol as craving and a mental obsession with alcohol. 8 months sober now, happy in sobriety . No restlessness, irritatibility or discontent... AA and the 12 steps was my saviour... I'm eternally grateful 🙏
Binge drank all weekend Didn’t go to work Monday and Tuesday and I kept drinking I’m now at work Wednesday with the shakes and hating life. I’m ready to stop this vicious cycle
@sendit3251 I know the feeling mate..that terrible guilt of knowing people around you probably know you weren't of sick and doing what to them would mean partying..but the truth is far from it.
I’m 3 years sober. I’m soon to be 54 and drank for 36 of those years. Came close to death a few times. Spent 5 days in intensive care suffering from DTs after having a psychotic episode in my 3rd rehab stint. I watch videos like this periodically to remind myself where I came from. I tried AA a few times but it just wasn’t a good fit for me. I finally had a spiritual awakening and stopped for the final time on June 25, 2021. I’ve been searching for the answer for years and finally realized the answer is inside all of us. Look deep inside yourself and you will see the strength you are seeking.
The fact that someone like Donald Trump has never drank has been motivating for me. Clearly a guy who has always attended parties all over the world for decades, and says “if you don’t drink, you don’t miss it”. Bill Burr too, huge sports fan, goes to games in every city etc… like all the time, and doesn’t drink. Those examples have really helped me to continue my social life, and not drink.
It is a spiritual war in us We need to dig deep into God's word 💯 he will save you just dont give up on him we all do when we're suffering with these awful additions:/ we need God 100% he is the peace and healer of all hurts❤❤❤❤❤i pray for all of you feeling stuck 🙏 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
I am now 34 days free from alcohol, had a health scare, straightened me right out! My poor step daughters have just learned their mum is v poorly with cirrhosis, I have had a lucky escape, I hope that she too can stop while she has some time left ❤
Quitters never win. I quit, therefore, I lose. So many brave men and women are making up for my losses everyday. I envy those who can weather the storm and live the life of a true alcoholic. It takes work, persistence, and boldness.
I use propel packets in my large water bottle and celcius also has a powder form packet to put in your water which is more affordable than buying the pre-made 6/12 packs. It's a bit of nice flavor without sugar; also some vitamins.
If alcohol was an actual person, I'd be in prison without remorse. It has irreplaceabley caused so much damage to those I've loved. It's caused soooo much pain to them and everyone around them. I loathe it from deep in my soul, as much as I loathe satan himself. I see no difference between the impact of either.
Same. It's such a cruel drug because it's legal, relatively inexpensive, very easy to get anywhere. Heck, I've even gotten it delivered same day right to my door. I need to find things I like better than my serious hobby of drinking I have ruined friendships and even some family members don't want to be around me. I get aggressive and don't know when to stop; like an angry "switch" goes off and it scares me the next day.
Im coming up on 3 days I used to drink a handle a day and tapered down to about a pint or two of pure liquor but i know now im just making excuses and going to be on this train forever if I just don't completely cut it out. Pray for me to get through this tough withdrawal phase and stay clean. God bless!
I had problems with drink and dont drink anymore . Its amazing to see how people look at me crooked when I say im hitting the gym on a friday evening instead of home to bottles of wine like them
This video is absolutely wonderful. It’s good to hear other people’s perspectives who know exactly how I feel. Alcohol has ruined (and ended) so many people’s lives and so many families.
never was a daily drinker or had a physical need for booze. was a 10 times or less monthly drinker but too much when I did . 30 days sober today one day at a time. ❤ 30 days sober today.
No one can make you get sober. Whatever higher power you claim to believe in isn’t going to save you. It’s up to you. I’m so tired of hearing god will lead me away from my addiction. Take some accountability and fix it yourself. Stop relying on someone you can’t see.
That's so true. You need a purpose that's big enough to actually stop drinking. For me that purpose was to honour and serve God. I will never want anything more.
My uncle was a chronic alcoholic which resulted in his brain being diagnosed as a wet brain? Why does no one talk about this horrific consequence of alcoholism?
I got into vaping three years ago and quit with nicotine lozenges. I buy the mint from Walgreens and just a suggestion to get away from the smokes. How are you doing? I'm making myself watch these videos for inspiration to stop the chain behavior I have After I work out, there is a liquor store directly next door (two different gyms/same thing). This evening I'm making two goals / enjoyable things to do when I get home besides drinking alone.
If you want to stop drinking call out to God and develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. All things are possible if you have a relationship with God who created you.
BE NOT DECEIVED,,,,, IT IS GOD WHO SAVES, ANY OTHER ATTEMP IS FUTILE,,, I KNOW I HAVE BEEN THERE, " BUT" GOD PULLED ME OUT OF THE LITERAL GUTTER AND HE WANTS TO DO IT FOR YOU -SEEK HIM NOW!!!! ALL GLORY BE TO GOD
I just recently took a shot of captain Morgan straight.2 weeks ago.And I take cancer medicine 💊 And certain drugs for anxiety levels and depression. I'M FORTUNATE THAT THE CAPTAIN Morgan didn't interact with my meds. AND I NEVER DRINK ALCOHOL AND I THINK I JUST WANTED TO FIT IN.
I know at least 2 people whose lives are halted, on hold, by their alcohol use. They are enslaved by their constant need to consume. I can't make them stop. Their immediate relatives are harmed, by their inability to act as adults, as they should.
I was sober 20 years and my best friend died and I’m finding drinking to be very very helpful and this time. And ice cream. And eating out. I know it’s not sustainable but a six pack is only about $9 and dinner is easily $30, so it’s even cheaper than eating.
Sara your best friend has moved on she still exists. She’s grieving seeing you drink and using her as the excuse. Live , live, live! Liver disease is insidious and waaay more expensive than $9
One difference in heroin/opiate abuse and alcoholism is ....in my experience...when you sought treatment your peers were actually happy for you and did not try and normalise or drag you back into it
Real talk to pandemic f****** sucked. Thank God I had plenty of beer and weed to get through it but I wasn't going to use vodka or any heavy alcohol because I knew it would harm my ability and health and I was worried about my vocals too
Sweetie..do not kid yourself...beer and pot will continue to damage your brain cells. Best to stop allmoodalterating substances. In a year (sober) many of us become fresh and new...s uplifting.
just how i did with cigars... one day i said i'm done and just stopped... the reasons were i felt my health was going down because of them... cigars for 10 years and booze for 20
When I finally beat smoking, I cut back on coffee and alcohol as they could make me crave a cigarette. I felt so much less stress after quitting smoking and then I began to lose my taste for alcohol. I don't understand how someone could drink heavily everyday and stomach that. But then again, I used to stick disgusting and deadly cancer sticks in my mouth and light them up for years on end and am not sure how my lungs managed to put up with that abuse.
i want to say its possible to do anything alone so if you have no one who can help you don't just use that as an excuse I am working on my PTSD almost all alone and I have come a long way... do your best and get help if you can but never give up .. don't use it as an excuse ... therefore I don't agree that you cant do it alone no you can do your best until you find help sometimes you have to do your best just to be available for someone to help you later...if you give up now totally that one person or group or whatever might never come.
Try again. Be ready to quit. Please try, I lost my dad to alcoholism, I couldn't even find him when he needed my help. My brother got sober at 24, I got sober at 26. Drank for about 4 - 5 years, but it was a bad time. Get a good sponsor, they're hard to find, but a good one will kick your ass, and pick you up at the same time, because they've been through it. Peace and love to you, and no, all women aren't catty men haters. One of my very best friends for the last several decades is a man, and he's like a brother to me.
Ready to reclaim your life? Dive into the most eye-opening 60 minutes of motivation to quit drinking! Break free from the grips of alcohol and unlock a brighter, healthier future!
I have no illusions or delusions. I neither see myself as more elegant or sophisticated when I drink. W.T.Heck.?? I use alcohol for my Essential Tremors and when I want to Paint or need to Write. Because of other limiting factors I cannot and do not want to take pharmaceuticals. That don't work in my system in the long run. I don't like them. They don't work because they cause bad effects in so many other medical Conditions I am experiencing. Alcohol works quickly for what I need and clears out of my system quickly. I am persistent in daily practicing healthy wellness lifestyle and dietary behaviors in caring for my body mind and being and consistently track my liver and all organ health.
I really want to stop. I've been drinking daily since 2013-14 I switched from opiates like Vicodin, morphine etc as I have had arthritis since 19 and diagnosed at 21)well, I'm self medicate now and am SO RELIEVED to be off of opiates but....yeah I'm 53 and I'm scared if I quit I'll die
Of course there are SEVERAL factors that "justify" my stress/pain but the pain is the major factor. 4 kids, an AASdegree, a divorce and toxic relationships didn't 'help' but I'm tired of the aftermath and the financial burden. I've been to rehab once and they didn't want release me due to the toxic relationship I left...then I went from bad to worse. I should say I don't drink to get drunk all the time but I'm at and have been at a pint of vodka (100 proof) a day. For the last 3 years.
Why do some people get angry or start fights when drinking yet other heavy drinkers are nice and generous. I've never figured that one out. Is that caused by long term heavy drinking because of changes in the brain or malnutrition or is it genetics? I know everyone is different but what are the main reasons for that angry reaction that some drinkers get after even their first drink?
What about once or twice per month you get very drunk at home in a safe environment. Sure, hungover the next day but then you go several weeks with zero alcohol. What category does that fall under and is that dangerous?
I usually drink beer on Sunday. Today i decided no alcohol. Watching this video makes me wonder if i should stop completely. Several years ago i stopped for 6 months because i was involved in sports. I remember having more energy and being more positive during that time.
I'm an alcoholic. I now have almost 10 months clean. The process is simple but not easy. Let the man up stairs control your sobriety and keep you sober. Whoever sees this you aren't alone, I'm here ❤
Absolutely. What's your experience with crack cocaine or meth?
I've dabbled with both. The hard was by far the worst for me. I drained my mothers bank account in no time at all. I was hanging out with random homeless people blowing the boulders. 🤣
A.A has saved my life and it's continuing to do so. I'm still working through the steps and it's painful but completely nessecary
I was cured by Allen Carr’s “easy way to control alcohol” audiobook.

Thank the Lord Jesus for not drinking anymore and ask Him to forgive you and to keep you sober. He will. The Lord Bless you and He keep adding more days to your life.

I suffer with alcoholism.... its an awful disease.... I have a physical allergy to alcohol as craving and a mental obsession with alcohol. 8 months sober now, happy in sobriety . No restlessness, irritatibility or discontent... AA and the 12 steps was my saviour... I'm eternally grateful 🙏
Binge drank all weekend
Didn’t go to work Monday and Tuesday and I kept drinking
I’m now at work Wednesday with the shakes and hating life. I’m ready to stop this vicious cycle
@sendit3251 I know the feeling mate..that terrible guilt of knowing people around you probably know you weren't of sick and doing what to them would mean partying..but the truth is far from it.
I’m 3 years sober. I’m soon to be 54 and drank for 36 of those years. Came close to death a few times. Spent 5 days in intensive care suffering from DTs after having a psychotic episode in my 3rd rehab stint. I watch videos like this periodically to remind myself where I came from. I tried AA a few times but it just wasn’t a good fit for me. I finally had a spiritual awakening and stopped for the final time on June 25, 2021. I’ve been searching for the answer for years and finally realized the answer is inside all of us. Look deep inside yourself and you will see the strength you are seeking.
The fact that someone like Donald Trump has never drank has been motivating for me. Clearly a guy who has always attended parties all over the world for decades, and says “if you don’t drink, you don’t miss it”. Bill Burr too, huge sports fan, goes to games in every city etc… like all the time, and doesn’t drink. Those examples have really helped me to continue my social life, and not drink.
It is a spiritual war in us
We need to dig deep into God's word 💯 he will save you just dont give up on him we all do when we're suffering with these awful additions:/ we need God 100% he is the peace and healer of all hurts❤❤❤❤❤i pray for all of you feeling stuck 🙏 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
I am now 34 days free from alcohol, had a health scare, straightened me right out! My poor step daughters have just learned their mum is v poorly with cirrhosis, I have had a lucky escape, I hope that she too can stop while she has some time left ❤
Quitters never win. I quit, therefore, I lose. So many brave men and women are making up for my losses everyday. I envy those who can weather the storm and live the life of a true alcoholic. It takes work, persistence, and boldness.
I like the way you think!
@@gigi9301 i do too
The problem is that many people give up alcohol and switch to sugar-containing drinks, which is another social and health problem.
I use propel packets in my large water bottle and celcius also has a powder form packet to put in your water which is more affordable than buying the pre-made 6/12 packs. It's a bit of nice flavor without sugar; also some vitamins.
If alcohol was an actual person, I'd be in prison without remorse. It has irreplaceabley caused so much damage to those I've loved. It's caused soooo much pain to them and everyone around them. I loathe it from deep in my soul, as much as I loathe satan himself. I see no difference between the impact of either.
Same. It's such a cruel drug because it's legal, relatively inexpensive, very easy to get anywhere. Heck, I've even gotten it delivered same day right to my door. I need to find things I like better than my serious hobby of drinking I have ruined friendships and even some family members don't want to be around me. I get aggressive and don't know when to stop; like an angry "switch" goes off and it scares me the next day.
“2 words… perspective and attitude.” ❤❤❤
Im coming up on 3 days I used to drink a handle a day and tapered down to about a pint or two of pure liquor but i know now im just making excuses and going to be on this train forever if I just don't completely cut it out. Pray for me to get through this tough withdrawal phase and stay clean. God bless!
Thats crazy, Im glad i never started.
I fn hate alcohol.
No more drinking, I feel like drinking always part of my life now I’m done I hate being drunk I want to stop completely!
I had problems with drink and dont drink anymore . Its amazing to see how people look at me crooked when I say im hitting the gym on a friday evening instead of home to bottles of wine like them
This video is absolutely wonderful. It’s good to hear other people’s perspectives who know exactly how I feel. Alcohol has ruined (and ended) so many people’s lives and so many families.
never was a daily drinker or had a physical need for booze.
was a 10 times or less monthly drinker but too much when I did .
30 days sober today
one day at a time. ❤
30 days sober today.
No one can make you get sober. Whatever higher power you claim to believe in isn’t going to save you. It’s up to you. I’m so tired of hearing god will lead me away from my addiction. Take some accountability and fix it yourself. Stop relying on someone you can’t see.
That's so true. You need a purpose that's big enough to actually stop drinking. For me that purpose was to honour and serve God. I will never want anything more.
My uncle was a chronic alcoholic which resulted in his brain being diagnosed as a wet brain? Why does no one talk about this horrific consequence of alcoholism?
I'm very depressed 😔 and tired I'm searching fun in alcohol and smoking
I got into vaping three years ago and quit with nicotine lozenges. I buy the mint from Walgreens and just a suggestion to get away from the smokes. How are you doing? I'm making myself watch these videos for inspiration to stop the chain behavior I have After I work out, there is a liquor store directly next door (two different gyms/same thing). This evening I'm making two goals / enjoyable things to do when I get home besides drinking alone.
Start walking just 10 minutes
@@Ps51clean After working out for 90 minutes ? Thank you for being helpful, though and appreciated
If you want to stop drinking call out to God and develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. All things are possible if you have a relationship with God who created you.
It is hard to maintain soberity am trying to get my life together
Recovery happens only if you have a relationship with God....God makes recovery all the more definite.
Watching in oct 24. RIP Matthew Perry. That clip was chilling.
This kind of anti-alcoholism videos should be much more viral to help alcoholic
I just drank for a month straight lost 15 pounds and completely devastated right now
I hope you’re doing better now! You’re not alone!
l AM FREE FROM ALCOHOL.
BE NOT DECEIVED,,,,, IT IS GOD WHO SAVES, ANY OTHER ATTEMP IS FUTILE,,, I KNOW I HAVE BEEN THERE, " BUT" GOD PULLED ME OUT OF THE LITERAL GUTTER AND HE WANTS TO DO IT FOR YOU -SEEK HIM NOW!!!! ALL GLORY BE TO GOD
I just recently took a shot of captain Morgan straight.2 weeks ago.And I take cancer medicine 💊
And certain drugs for anxiety levels and depression. I'M FORTUNATE THAT THE CAPTAIN Morgan didn't interact with my meds. AND I NEVER DRINK ALCOHOL AND I THINK I JUST WANTED TO FIT IN.
I know at least 2 people whose lives are halted, on hold, by their alcohol use. They are enslaved by their constant need to consume. I can't make them stop. Their immediate relatives are harmed, by their inability to act as adults, as they should.
I dont get to judge another addict. Remember...when I am bust pointing a finger at somene, three fingers are pointing back at me.
I was sober 20 years and my best friend died and I’m finding drinking to be very very helpful and this time. And ice cream. And eating out.
I know it’s not sustainable but a six pack is only about $9 and dinner is easily $30, so it’s even cheaper than eating.
Sara your best friend has moved on she still exists. She’s grieving seeing you drink and using her as the excuse. Live , live, live! Liver disease is insidious and waaay more expensive than $9
One difference in heroin/opiate abuse and alcoholism is ....in my experience...when you sought treatment your peers were actually happy for you and did not try and normalise or drag you back into it
I'm happy to be sober.
Real talk to pandemic f****** sucked. Thank God I had plenty of beer and weed to get through it but I wasn't going to use vodka or any heavy alcohol because I knew it would harm my ability and health and I was worried about my vocals too
Sweetie..do not kid yourself...beer and pot will continue to damage your brain cells. Best to stop allmoodalterating substances. In a year (sober) many of us become fresh and new...s uplifting.

I was cured by Allen Carr’s “easy way to control alcohol” audiobook.
just how i did with cigars... one day i said i'm done and just stopped... the reasons were i felt my health was going down because of them... cigars for 10 years and booze for 20
Thank you for this. I have got a litel bit of insight and inspiration.
This moster inside me.
Thank you!
Needed this
I keep saying I’m quitting and then back to drinking. I’m not winning the battle at all
7 YEARS SOBER NOW MYSELF .... SALUTE 🫡 💯👍🏾
Congrats! Good job!
What ...a medal
It's awful. Glad to have sober years. Drinking years was ygly in every sense.
I am alone because I had a social phobia during my school years, at least social circles don't prevent me from stop drinking.
Excellent video. Really eye opening and I needed this.
Powerful video, listened to it twice and makes me think, thank you
Great video
When I finally beat smoking, I cut back on coffee and alcohol as they could make me crave a cigarette.
I felt so much less stress after quitting smoking and then I began to lose my taste for alcohol.
I don't understand how someone could drink heavily everyday and stomach that.
But then again, I used to stick disgusting and deadly cancer sticks in my mouth and light them up for years on end and am not sure how my lungs managed to put up with that abuse.
Nothing ruins a documentary faster than subtitles
i want to say its possible to do anything alone so if you have no one who can help you don't just use that as an excuse I am working on my PTSD almost all alone and I have come a long way... do your best and get help if you can but never give up .. don't use it as an excuse ... therefore I don't agree that you cant do it alone no you can do your best until you find help sometimes you have to do your best just to be available for someone to help you later...if you give up now totally that one person or group or whatever might never come.
To anyone that's detoxingfrom heavy drinking, yall have crazy ass fever dreams? Mine are super realistic
im drinking right now, think its starting to become a problem
I no I'm sorting it out. Stoping after my birthday to day last day thanks 🤔👍
I ve tried and failed. Not sure it matters in this world that hates men. Thanks
This is one woman who doesn't hate men, I love our differences! I had some great men in my life, can't imagine a world with out them😊
Try again. Be ready to quit. Please try, I lost my dad to alcoholism, I couldn't even find him when he needed my help. My brother got sober at 24, I got sober at 26. Drank for about 4 - 5 years, but it was a bad time. Get a good sponsor, they're hard to find, but a good one will kick your ass, and pick you up at the same time, because they've been through it. Peace and love to you, and no, all women aren't catty men haters. One of my very best friends for the last several decades is a man, and he's like a brother to me.
@@kenallensworth5408 Same here; my problem is picking drinkers like me, and good men who don't drink drop me
DON'T ASSOCIATE WITH PEOPLE WHO DRINK.
I ( my story) learned in AA- “ if you think you Might have problem with alcohol?!- You Do!!!”
So True; and when you Keep Asking yourself the Same darn question, it's beyond time to clean up
Ready to reclaim your life? Dive into the most eye-opening 60 minutes of motivation to quit drinking! Break free from the grips of alcohol and unlock a brighter, healthier future!
I have no illusions or delusions. I neither see myself as more elegant or sophisticated when I drink. W.T.Heck.?? I use alcohol for my Essential Tremors and when I want to Paint or need to Write. Because of other limiting factors I cannot and do not want to take pharmaceuticals. That don't work in my system in the long run. I don't like them. They don't work because they cause bad effects in so many other medical Conditions I am experiencing. Alcohol works quickly for what I need and clears out of my system quickly. I am persistent in daily practicing healthy wellness lifestyle and dietary behaviors in caring for my body mind and being and consistently track my liver and all organ health.
Two days sober 😂
You are mad let's do it ... Read my message... I am 2 days sober as well .. keep it up man
The cold and sweaty shakes are the worst.
I think that's alcohol neuropathy, which is nervous system damage from alcohol. It goes away when you quit entirely long enough.
I really want to stop. I've been drinking daily since 2013-14 I switched from opiates like Vicodin, morphine etc as I have had arthritis since 19 and diagnosed at 21)well, I'm self medicate now and am SO RELIEVED to be off of opiates but....yeah I'm 53 and I'm scared if I quit I'll die
Of course there are SEVERAL factors that "justify" my stress/pain but the pain is the major factor.
4 kids, an AASdegree, a divorce and toxic relationships didn't 'help' but I'm tired of the aftermath and the financial burden. I've been to rehab once and they didn't want release me due to the toxic relationship I left...then I went from bad to worse.
I should say I don't drink to get drunk all the time but I'm at and have been at a pint of vodka (100 proof) a day. For the last 3 years.
Harder to stop with no friends //
go to12 step meetgs and ask for phone numbers and call folks...it works!

Why do some people get angry or start fights when drinking yet other heavy drinkers are nice and generous.
I've never figured that one out.
Is that caused by long term heavy drinking because of changes in the brain or malnutrition or is it genetics?
I know everyone is different but what are the main reasons for that angry reaction that some drinkers get after even their first drink?
YOUR L❤VE IS BETTER THAN WINE.
SOBERNESS OF MIND
DO NOT GET DRUNK WITH WINE.

You are tooooo good
What about once or twice per month you get very drunk at home in a safe environment.
Sure, hungover the next day but then you go several weeks with zero alcohol. What category does that fall under and is that dangerous?
WHY would you?
U can not call out anyone an alcoholic
6 yrs sober 38 yrs not so much
How come it repeats film footage through this video?
I love beer. It hurts, even today, maybe the srhoom thing will work cause, i am oops :P
ALWAYS BE SOBER MINDED
STAY AWAY FROM ALCOHOL.
It gets easier but it never gets easy
Yes it does get easy. I've been sober for almost ten years and I'm not even remotely tempted to drink anymore.
Nobdy talks about the hallucinations...Really, it is dire!
DONT LET ALCOHOL TEMPT YOU.
SANE AND SOBER MIND
I usually drink beer on Sunday. Today i decided no alcohol. Watching this video makes me wonder if i should stop completely. Several years ago i stopped for 6 months because i was involved in sports. I remember having more energy and being more positive during that time.
Your fine bro.
Wild Bill..while you still have a choice...put your best Wid Bill into it! Blessings.
I agree 👍💯💯
l DON'T NEED THAT.
l AM ABOVE THAT.
