When I was younger I heard the saying "the devil is in the drink." I chuckled and didn't think twice about it. As I got older into my late 30s and early 40s I began to drink a little heavier. My personality and appearance started to change. Lost motivation and the drive to live. And on top the weird sleep pattern, weird dreams, and hallucinations at night. So yes, the devil is in the drink. He slowly takes your soul away one year at a time.
Ex-alcoholic here. It's evil stuff. I did jury service a few years back and 90% of the cases were all alcohol related. I haven't touched alcohol in 10 years. I don't miss it one bit. Reclaim your lives and ditch it.
Depression anxiety I drank to get a few hours peace turned into a horrible cycle I stopped 7 years ago I am now leading a normal life you take care stay strong anyone can stop alcohol you have to be 100 per cent determined it gets better
The last time i drank, it was on my days off of work I drank a 750ml two days in a row. Nothing bad happened. No sad emotions. No real pain. No consequence. But i woke up the next day with no hangover, had the last shot in the bottle and told myself "welp...that was unhealthy" and just stopped. Iv had much worse battles with alcohol. But that was the calmest and most accepting I have been to stop. I do two HIIT workouts a day. Every day. I pursue my passions, and take care of myself diet wise. You don't have to hit rock bottom. You just have to know enough is enough and decide to change.
Barely 4088 🤔 thank you for sharing the way you describe that sounds so true and simple the number of times we have to learn a lesson differ from other people, but I wish my # number was now - like you say when enough is enough💀 and you- + we are ready 2 stop
Was at the beach in Michigan july 30 2023. Watched a guy get drug out of the water. They worked on him but he died. Scene right out of a movie. That was the last thing i needed to see to understand i was going the wrong direction. I quit drinking that day
I can imagine how hard and worrying that experience must have been for you.. and for your family. You have progressed so well from that time.. and on a journey of healing from it all ever since. Great to see!
Thank you for sharing your story.... My husband DOES THIS EXACT THING.... Just ignores his body and drinks more alcohol! I hope he will take a lesson from your experience before it's too late for him. Thank you wish you the very bEST ❤️
I hope you are all right and there is help for you if you need someone to talk too and try and get your husband to go doctors because they can help and refer him to other organisations and give him some guidance 💙
Thanks for the story dude. Had a similar issue with my liver. Ignored signs for years but now am taking care of it finally. Good health to you and good luck man. I look forward to more videos of your journey.
I am with you. I am an alcoholic. It does awful things to society. Often ranked as the number one problem in the world. (By C.Everett Koop, past US Surgeon General)
if you want a good tip on addiction, go away somewhere for at least three weeks where you have no access to any drugs whatsoever. the first 14 days are the hardest and then you start to function again as a human. I went to an island where i had no access to anything bad. Another thing i found helped me when i got off stuff, was getting to bed really early (when my girls were going to bed and getting up early and making sure you exercise like a motherfucker during the day and stay active, this is key. i always found the demons come and get you in the evening way more -- if you are knackered in bed asleep you avoid them! Best of luck mate, you need to do it for your family and yourself/
Seems like we are both still here thanks to our amazing crew we have at the NHS. People slate off the NHS and i dunno about you but i simply would not be here to type this message if it wasnt for them. :-) We're still standing :-)
I’ve had a Pneumothorax back in 2020 spent 4 days in the hospital with that stupid chest tube. I don’t think Alcohol had anything to do with it but I am a smoker
It wasn't the alcohol that did it or smoking. I had basically a perforated lung (pneumothorax), but because I was drinking and ignored the pain / short breathing, it fully deflated so I needed op and 15mm of my lung cutting off where the hole was.
There’s no help in Essex tried seeking last year and was left so I’ve turned to drink to cope wish I could end my life but keep trying n to much of a coward so I’m just stuck in a room don’t go out eat take care of myself I look a mess and have become so skinny
I'm sorry to hear that. Please dont do any harm to yourself. If you feel like that, go to the doctors and explain it they will help refer you to the right people. Also, this is the link to AA groups in Essex RM16/14 SS9 and SS0 etc I was unsure about it at first but I promise you there are people who are in similar situations definitely worth the try. www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk/AA-Meetings/Find-a-Meeting/essex I hope this helps you. There is a saying it is , just for today. Take it day by day, and best wishes to you take care.
I am so sorry to hear that and please don't end your life go to doctors and ask them for some help or guidance and try and eat a little bit because that's better than nothing and try and drink plenty of fluids and also try and go out for some fresh even if it's only for 10 minutes I hope things gets better for you 💙
