I got out of medical detox 2 days ago. It was hell. I was vomiting blood and the DTs were awful. I nearly fried my liver completely. I went on a 3 year bender and drank roughly 12 beers every single day. Occasionally liquor. I voulnteerly checked myself into detox once they told me if I continued drinking I would develop chriossis within 6 months to a year. I just turned 27 not long ago. It will catch up to you quick once it becomes a daily habit.
I’m trying to quit right now, I have 4 days, I always end up back drinking again though eventually, I’m pretty much feeling hopeless now, awesome story, and I’m glad you got sober! 🙏😊
My father lost his battle at age 57 April 8th 2023. I am currently attempting day 2 of sobriety after binge drinking vodka and wine for over two years. Im only 4’11 and his has already affect my heart health and mental health. I will get through this. One step at a time.
Back in the day I hung sheetrock with my father in-law. No joke he got directions over the phone for upcoming jobs starting at the packy in the town we went to work in. We drank beer in the truck on the way home. Muffler fell off one time with three of us in the truck and a Statey pulled over to check on us... beers and open ones everywhere. We told him we were just going to tie it up but we need to sit and let it cool first. He said ok I'll swing back in a bit to make sure you got rolling. The ice cold beer is a reward at the end of the day ya maybe 6 of them not 30 plus. Ouch best of luck.
God bless you brother. We're all in this thing together. Please don't ever feel alone again. We all gotta be there for each other. Your art is beautiful.
Àlcohol addiction lives only in the head. You turn away and you don't go back. It's simple. It's that or you have to admit it's nothing more than a place to hide and deal with it. Irrespective of excuses it's an easy drug to dump.
Well, either way, his vocabulary is expanded, his critical thinking skills are greater, his interpersonal communication is way better, and his creativity is thriving. Thank you for watching.

This is great. I've been sober for just over 4 years, and one of the greatest things in the recovery process is exploring and finding new outlets. Amazing how those prone to addiction are many times very creative as well. Appreciate your story!
I got sober in 2016 and seeing this is bringing back so many of the painful memories of what life was like during that point in my life. I am eternally grateful to myself for finding the strength to get better. It was really bad. My life is totally different now, for the better. Cheers and good luck to anyone struggling. The power to quit is in you if you really want it!
Great story. My dad also quit drinking later in life, was an iron worker, and drank PBR. If your dad has never been, you should check out Lakenenland. It is a sculpture park, near Marquette, MI, made by a fellow ironworker.
I drank cases of beer everyday for almost thirty years until I tried psilocybin therapy, I couldn't be a happier more productive person than I am today haven't had a drink since April 2023
I appreciate you commenting but I'm not really following what you're trying to say... But I will say if you listen to my father's words, he blames his choice to drink the way he did, not the beer itself...
I used to drink every night for many years. Not beer though... I was drinking tequila and rum and sometimes whiskey. I finally got so tired of feeling crappy waking up the next day I just quit. I think the fact I am a stubborn person helped. In my brain, I just have to be more stubborn than my craving. And I am apparently. It's been 2 1/2 years. Best decision ever
im having real trouble quitting. this is why im watching this. i feel so much shame because i cant seem to stop. i have good woman that loves me. so im very lucky. just cant seem to stop. i do want to. im just weak and so very very sad.
So sad. His alcoholism could have been avoided. He was using the wrong substance. Various herbals could have relieved his stress without the bad side effects of alcohol.
