Proud of you, Tim, and thanks for your candidness. I related to everything you said. That desire to feel better and the "cure" of a drink can be so overwhelming it's impossible to describe. You are right, we have to confront and lean towards healing those deep wounds in our soul. It's what leads us to take that drink in the first place. Bless you and take care.
We're at a similar age. I'm a little over a month in after 40 years of being a "functional" binge drinker. I find your videos and stories (although quite horrendous at times) to be thought provoking, honest and inspirational. Perhaps your survival from this crucible was meant to be to ultimately help others who you will never know or meet?
Hi mate thanks for sharing your story here, just come out of a rock bottom moment myself yet again! This video has helped me realise i must find help cos i cant do it alone no matter how many times i try to. Thanks ,stay well, all the best.
Oh that damn voice….the mind is powerful. Glad you made it through, sounds like you were in a nightmare. It sucks that it came to near death, but I’m so glad you are still here with us! You have so much wisdom to share.
And,the mystery of all addictions,is that when the moment is in perfect synchronicity with what we endure,a video like this one arrive and boost our willpower to succeed at the end,but,of course,carpe diem!!!
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for your videos Tim. Obviously you won’t know this but your content has been there for me when Ive been drunk and wanting to quit, before and during withdrawals and now when I’m sober and maintaining sobriety. Earlier in the year I had 4 months sobriety(longest ever) and in a moment of weakness in July my brain convinced me to have one drink. Long story, short I ended up staying in hotels for 10 nights.Drinking vodka and red wine morning till night. I wasn’t eating, my family, work etc didn’t know where I was. I was drinking, sleeping and throwing up. I was a complete and utter pathetic mess. Ended up in hospital with severe withdrawals for the 4th time. I know what you mean when you say you haven’t got another withdrawal in you. The withdrawals plus guilt and shame are a hell that I can’t put myself or family through ever again. I think your content helps so many people as you really do speak the truth and from the heart .
Hi Tim ive been through what you been through. I can see ane feel the sincerity part of you when telling the story. Sometimes horrible experience brings you the best recovery. Much love brother 👍🏼
Amazingly powerful telling of what happened to you Tim...A major blessing in disguise I would of thought and blessed to have such supportive & loving daughters; like they're dad I guess. I've broken 2 ribs after 2 cans a few days ago & my life has ground to a halt. I will never give up the fight for complete abstinence from my various substance issues and happy to say, w support & hard work, & some tradegy my life is incomparable to chaos it once was and I will get there. Carpe diem indeed. I'm only a tad younger then yerself but found it funny & relatable your need to choose the most challenging & difficult Campio de Santiago route! I always tell myself & those around me to 'keep the faith'. TU & when I get a few euro tomorrow I will happily donate. Clare☘️💪
