Bert does look so healthy here!! You can tell he’s happy, more clear headed, and just in a better mood here. I like this Bert! He’s so positive and just has such good vibes in this.
Yesterday I got finally was cought and confronted on how much ive been drinking for years.... Today is my first full sober day and this just popped up. Makes me feel better.
Maltese Cross How is it so far? I've been looking for advice all over the place. I dont think I would've ever even tried to quit unless I was cought red handed. It actually felt like a huge weight lifted when it happened... yesterday.
Logan M I've only been sober for around 30 hours after drinking 2 pints and 3 nips. Today was alright. I know I'll want a drink tomorrow. I'll smoke some pot to take the edge off. I'm determined to be this under control.
I'm sure this is a joke, but incase its not: you can. I promise you being sober is possible. You can either slowly ween off or go cold turkey. I come from a family tree of addicts so it was difficult. But try 1 day. Just one and see how you feel. And if you feel good, go two days. I'm 2 years sober from some stuff, a couple months off another, and only 1 week off my worst addiction. You can do it. And once your sober your life begins. You can live a life that's not controlled by substance abuse. And its the most empowering feeling. I hope this helps anyone who needed to hear it
I've got 23 months sober from alcohol meth and morphine and I feel a thousand times better and if your struggling with addiction get help trust me you can do it if I quit anybody can
Validation statement. Typical addict behaviour. Not judging you, I am a recovering addict. Keep your sober time in the rooms or in private. Would you tell your sober time in a job interview
@@Dewitt-b8n Mine are probably are two of the absolute worst addictions. Opiate/opioid addiction combined with benzodiazepine (Mostly Xanax). I've tried multiple times but both are HORRIBLE withdrawals, the opioid withdrawal is incredibly painful and taxing, benzos are more jittery and twitchy and tense, but also more potentially fatal from what i've learned. And honestly i've gotten over the mental addiction many times, what cripples me is the dependency aspect, the withdrawals are what in my opinion separate addiction from dependency.
I know, I seen it. Thank god my body had no real serious withdrawals. I been on benzos and Vicodin for years. I always take a 2 week taking nothing for my pain except Cannibas. All I got was the shits for a day. I take valium with I think issafer than Xanax imo @@grndmst9
grndmst9 dude. I’ve been on opioids for almost 2years due to chronic pain and was stupid to think I can just quit like it’s nothing and I stopped like from one second to the next and after 2 and a half days I was in hospital on IV morphine. It was so fucking bad it scared me. It was like my body shut down. My dads a doctor and when he found out what happened he was glad I called the ambulance Cus it can be very very bad (of course not as bad as heroin withdrawal etc). Anyways if you give keep taking morphine but less and less everyday, it’ll be nothing. Like you’ll think wtf it was this easy? That’s what I thought anyways. Edit: oh yeah I forgot to mention the reason I was able to get off morphine was because I was and now am prescribed ketamine which 1 helps way better with pain plus you can’t get addicted to it like you can with morphine (your body doesn’t get hooked and you can simply stop without any withdrawal. I think however there are other effects with are not the best eg taking a lot can cause liver problems etc etc but in regulated doses it’s fine, can take it for years without issues).
If you are a drunk and want to quit drinking, find a channel called juvenilecomedy and get sober with him, he makes videos from last day drunk onward each day sober. Really helped me, figured I'd share.
@@auralplex when you're prepared to live with the concequences of what you do no matter who it effects as long as you can feel whatever you get from what it is you do.....thats the definition of addiction really mate...
Bert if you ever read this, you are 1,000x more interesting and greater to listen to when you are like this. I like your other side too, and have never had a problem with you but I think you are much more one dimensional when you drink a lot, you only get 1 side out of you. This seemed much more relatable and had more depth, I was more interested to listen for the full 3 hours. If/when you do go back to drinking, remember this month and even though there are some downsides to not drinking as much, you won't be able to give people in your professional and personal life the *full* Bert Kreischer unless you let this side out of you too.
I dunno about that. I was just listening to one of Stanhope's podcasts where he said that it's gotten to the point where there's no way he could quit booze cold turkey because he would die. He'd have to taper off. It didn't sound like he was joking, either.
I was drinking nearly every day for 10 years. I quit drinking January in 2010 and haven't drank since. I exercise almost every day for the last 12 years, been vegan for 5 yrs and only eat wholefoods. I'm 46 now and fitter, stronger and healthier than most.guys half my age. Identity is not a fixed thing, it's in a constant state of flux and can always be changed into something remarkable with vision, desire and discipline.
Being from 5 years in the future, I feel joy when seeing how thin and normal the person named Brent looked here, yet sad when remembering what he turned into
@@jothepro1013 Bro my tip is Like when you tell yourself oh shit I want to hit this really put that shit away and think about it and if you do want to do it do that shit tomorrow because you have time to think on it don’t be spontaneous and ruin a three day break because then it would do nothing 2 weeks to a month is ideal to reset tolerance relativity so I pray for you bro 👍👍🙌
I'm 4 months clean and sober and feeling great without it. Didn't find it hard telling others that I'm not drinking any more. Go to meetings to keep me inspired by the other long term non drinkers. Alcohol is a poison to the brain and body and soul. 5 months sober now....
"Many meetings, many chances. Few meetings, few chances. No meetings, no chance! Live in the problem, or live in the solution, sobriety is as simple as that!
This is such a fantastic look at how guys can go seamlessly between genuinely encouraging each other and talking about real shit, AND busting each other's balls joyfully. Makes me want to hang out with these guys even more.
Dude ive stopped drinking and smoking going on 3 weeks now. The dreams have become so fucking vivid lol i wake up feeling like the shot really happened
Bert sounds a lot like my dad who definitely drinks too much. After my dad's second DUI he went a few weeks without drinking (had to because of court ordered tests) and he was saying all the same shit Bert is saying--"I feel so much better! I sleep better, I have more energy, I feel rested in the morning!" As soon as the court tests were over he went right back to drinking, just like how after sober October is over Bert went right back to drinking. Nothing was learned, nothing was gained, right back to the bottle.
Bert "I've always been very measured with my drinking" Kreischer hiding in airport bathroom stalls with his giant foam cup so he can pour in the 8 shots of liquor he's brought with him
hahaha, maybe he meant "measured" as in "now i'm going to the bathroom to take my *measured* 8 slugs of liquor medicine that was prescribed by Dr. burnt chrysler M.D, to help me function in difficult situations"... lol
I'm from Australia. I'm 10 months sober. I'm 43 and was drinking in my work breaks and first thing in the morning. I'm so happy I quit, I will never drink again.
I'm a lead welder. I work 40+ hrs a week. Rarely call in. Never missed an order. I get high every morning,noon, afternoon and evening. Zero injury reports, zero tickets,.. it's not hard to smoke weed and enjoy life day by day.
Bert needs to worry about the relapse in November and not about the shakes from getting sober... that cruise makes me worried for him for real I hope someone tells him not to go all out those first few days
"no such thing as moderation with weed you're gunna do it everyday" Speak for yourself. Thats like an alcoholic saying its impossible to drink occasionally. Fatuous.
I used CBD to kick alcohol. And dear god is it one of the best things I've used. My brain was firing clear, instant REM when sleeping, getting into a workout routine was easy because of the anti-inflammatory benefit, and for some reason allowed me to bypass the withdraws I always experienced.
I wish I knew about CBD for past withdrawals, as I've had some very rough ones. I only just recently learned about CBD for that purpose, I've used it for ant inflammatory purposes mostly.
First time I tried quitting drinking I got audio and visual hallucinations. Turned into full blown psychosis, and I got arrested for vandalism. Never gotten arrested drunk before, and get arrested trying to get sober. Ironic.
The reason your dreams go crazy when you stop smoking is because THC blocks your REM sleep which is the stage at which dreaming occurs. Once you stop your sleep schedule changes and you take in a lot of REM. This disturbance of REM also negatively effects memory because a lot of encoding takes place during REM.
bnose202 I think you guys are showing your own issues/problems, many people have a nice glass of wine with dinner?... alcohol doesn’t have to be something you drink for alcohols sake....? Pair it with food and it becomes a dimension to enjoyment
I drank beer only daily for 20 years. Became very ill n stopped drinking which threw me into alcoholic shock,seizures, went black. Woke after 3 days. Two months in hospital,lost all muscle,bed riddn..horrific..long way back but made it..bout 9 years sobor now!
12 days in and walking on sunshine waking up feeling incredible! He must have felt like absolute shit before in order to feel so fantastic so quickly. Good luck to him though. I love Bert.
@@flynnwarde962 considering sleep is vital to your bodies recovery, depriving yourself of rem sleep chronically probably isn't ideal, plus dreams are sick as fuck
The lucid dreaming Bert is describing literally is alcohol withdrawal. Its a short step before hallucinations. Hes fortunate that his were "pleaseant and fun."
The crazy lucid dreams after quitting weed are real. Im a month in the Pause and for 3 weeks I'm dreaming tenfold of normal every night. This night i had like 6 different dreams one of them was me as a little boy just waiting til it's my turn on the bullriding rodeo and I was so nervous but I never made it. The best kid before me had 1:30 minutes on the bull so there was no way in topping that anyway.
Quitting weed too. Have a same dream 3 days in a row about aliens taking over the world but they are like clones , hive, can communicate with each other and me trying to figure out how to distinguish them from normal people and how to beat them. I think it's just my true self trying to beat a guy with addiction in my dreams. Still didn't figure out in my dreams.
Thanks for the inspiration for #soberoctober. I'm on day 12. Getting up in the morning is easier and I've had compliments on my appearance..... Still INCREDIBLY tired though.
