@markdoolittle7183 Год назад

Painful to listen too. But I’ve been through it myself. Worst episode I had full on dts on a fishing trawler in the Bering sea. Used to stay drunk between fishing seasons living in the Philippines. Learned the go to sea and sober up habit from my Navy days. I’m still alive brother and so are you. Sober now four years. Second go at it. Damn life is a trip.

Awesome man I am 29 and been a once a week binge drinker for 8 years. Ready to make a change. 3 days sober today. Thank God I never was a daily drinker so I don't ever get withdrawals. The hardest part will be rejecting those thoughts of "oh it's the weekend go have some fun and get drunk." I am beginning to crochet to pass the time on Saturday nights!

Next day is wtf did I do or say last night? Never got to your level but I suffered like a bitch for years in that pattern

@sugashakeshakeshake852 Год назад

This is what my life was like for last 5 years. Not relapses but 2 to 3 week binges every 1 to 2 months. Over a litre of vodka every day. Now 38 and not teetotal but I just don’t drink or get drunk. I’ve had wine and champagne at weddings but I just sip it like others and doesn’t bother me. Being that drunk was an awful existence.

@timothyslaughter476 2 года назад

The road to alcoholism is a very similar road for many people. I don't belittle the stories because its important to the process but its just so repetitive and common among alcoholics at its core that its almost universal. The road to recovery is what fascinates me. Everyone it seems used a shovel to dig their hole. Shoveling is just a routine act that requires no thought, or serious ability of any kind.. But people need to be very clever and resourceful and imaginative to get out of a hole. Most often they will need help depending on how deep the hole is. Once out they need to fill that space with things that can make sure we never get onto that hole again. We just needed a shovel to get in that hole. But getting out and staying out required more. Much more.

@archangel_josh 10 месяцев назад

What a story, thanks so much for sharing. My wife and I never drank during the week but had huge binges on weekends that eventually turned into benders that eventually turned into being weekend alcoholics. I remember the pain/fear/anxiety/sweats/shaking/depressive thoughts/suicidal thoughts/no food/no water/no energy/can barely move from bed every single Sunday and it was TORTURE. Monday and Tuesday I'd be functioning but with no joy in my life, completely depressed. Started to feel normal around Wednesday and then back to it from Friday 5pm. I can't imagine living that lifestyle 24/7. You poor thing. I'm so happy you're sober. My wife and I are 14 months sober and absolutely thriving, it's been easy, no cravings whatsoever.

@TEXASLOYAL 9 месяцев назад

I can relate, weekend drinker here, beer, never hard liquor though, I'm ready to give it all up, I have 3 day weekends, off Saturday, Sunday and Monday so it's 3 day binges for me, I hate it

@archangel_josh 9 месяцев назад

@@TEXASLOYAL 3 day weekend must be hard...so much time to get drunk. All I can say is if you want to quit, you can. It was something I thought I'd never be able to do, it was tied to who I was as a person, my identity etc. These are just lies the alcohol tells us. We're not how much we can drink. Wishing you luck my man.

@chope9262 2 года назад

Thank you very much for sharing your story. It is helping me to see things better. I noticed that you said your trigger was stress, for me it’s boredom. But the ironic thing is for both of us, the cognitive dissonance, you drink to relieve the stress which just caused you an additional amount of lifetime stress, when I drink when I’m bored, people will call me to do things but I turn them down because I’m drinking by myself. The one thing that we turn to to help us with our triggers, keep us from living a full life. God bless you and everyone watching this video.

@valeriewilson54hydroplaneracer Год назад

Thank you for your share, I too believe that if I ever drink again I will be 6 ft under as i should have been. I remember standing at the gates of hell ready to walk in, but if it weren’t for a loving God that somehow spared me and gave me another chance at life, i wouldn’t be here. I too was in Detox’s and emergency rooms multiple times. I got really involved with AA, and the 12 step program saved my soul. I still can’t believe it I actually have 12yrs sober this past Feb. I was having a bad night and somehow I suppose God lead me too hear your story, thank you for being so vulnerable!

@x10x11x12 3 года назад

@@megaclips.1 my addictions are pornography and technology use. It's just as damaging mentally and spiritually as alcoholism in my opinion. I've gone to inpatient in 2017 and took recovery seriously. Over time, stress got to me too and I find myself in a year's relapse. It's much more subtle than alcoholism but I had a panic attack on march 2nd of this year, and I hadn't had a panic attack as bad as this one was. So I can relate to having to go half a block for food because I was so anxious and scared to leave my apartment. I've been to the ER over panic attacks because of my addiction manifesting into so much fear. The dangerous thing is that I still think "one more time won't kill me" but truth is, each acting out kills me mentally and spiritually and there's no bs'ing about that. So I am grateful that you shared your story because even though I don't relate with the alcoholic in that sense, the unmanageability and powerlessness I definitely can in my own way.

The doctor prescribed two medications that have completely killed all my cravings for alcohol. I can't even stand to snell beer or liquor anymore! I'm coming up on 80 days clean and I'm never looking back! I wake up every morning with so much energy and I feel great. I don't think I can feel any better than the days before, but each new day has me feeling that much greater. Life us so wonderful now!!!

Hi friend!❤ I am so glad you got some relief from an illness many people experience. I took a 23 and me gene test, and found that alcohol intolerance is genetically based. I myself can’t drink without vomiting, and that’s why I never judge those that can drink without getting sick which leads to,addiction . Another example is that drug sensitivity in another species (dogs) can vary up to 400 times. Addiction is an illness that needs to be medically managed, not stigmatized.

I mean people that are addicted to smoking are never berated this way. I preferred the online zoom ones personally however they are all similar. I have quit drinking for 100 days so far.
