4/30/2020. I recently asked my brother what his date was, as he was forced to stop recently because his skin turned full yellow & bruised, yellow eyes and a strange beach ball stomach he had to get drained every week. He's 38. He told me Jan 13 2023, Because I recently posted on FB how my wieght is now back to 125lbs (2020 was 94lbs) and a motivational post. I noticed the people who did not bother to give it a like when I only post 2 times a year photo or something. Those people showed thier true colors , so that's why I asked my bro he was one of them who didn't care. I feel when his comes up in Jan I will take him to dinner because I know how crappy it feels to not have support 💞 I came here to say, I think we should be allowed to report all these alcohol ads on youtube to hold them accountable and be fined every time we should be allowed to report as 'harmful' for those in recovery. My best advice was go on as many nature hikes as possible. Know your triggers!! Mine recently Over the holidays Was my BF mother and sister (his mom in her late 60s always wants to party with 19 and 20yrs Olds his sisters friends) would be HAMMERED all the time, I started limiting my time 2 hours for say birthday, and go home in a separate car. They apparently said it was rude that I didn't stay the full 8-9 hour party but me controlling my triggers, they need to know they are affecting others with thier behavior. We all have triggers, it takes time to get over that "Its OK it's not bothering me that you guys are drinking, I'm strong" facade... I kept doing it and it took 4yrs to finally realize that was my trigger. Thank you for this video! 🫶
