Just hang in there no matter . You're head is spinning you can't think straight. The guilt is overwhelming I know, been there. The things going on in you're mind will stop. What ever happened to get you where you are need to be put aside right now. You are important to yourself and deserve the respect you need Think that the pain you're going through IS YOUR BODY RETURNING TO HOW IT SHOULD BE ! THINK THAT THE PROCESS IS HAPPINING ! Each day as hard as it is will get slightly better. I know ! People are so busy with their problems that they are not noticing what you feel. Let the guilt be pushed aside for now and respect yourself . God didn't place you here without a reason. This will work out and your suffering will have meaning You'll see it down the road. You really will ! Realize your mind can only be an one thing at a time. You control it. Think of not one day at a time , but one hour at a time. If you don't think you control your mind , tell me who does. I want you to get a bucket and fill it with all the stress you have. You can't since it's all in your head. Relax your mind by walking in a few days of a hobby because if your mind is on the hobby or activity it cant be on drinking. Things will get better not drinking. Then you can slowly start the recovering of the things in your life You are important and deserve respect and will return to the person you know you are. Love yourself , things have a way of working out.
@@revolverdon thank you for that. Just really does suck, pushed a girl out of my life who really cared about me because of my self centered alcoholism. But I guess what Evers meant to be is out of my control.
@@sebz1390 You really don't know that right now. Same happened to me 35 years ago. After taking care of myself and getting my self together I met a beautiful 29 year old flight attendant. Been married 36 years she still looks great and she's a terrific wife ! You're girl may still be interested in you after this passes and life stabilizes. And it will. Promise. It simply a matter of time Everytime I see a bottle of alcohol I look at it and see it as my enemy ! I say no way get away , I'm not going to let you control my life ! It will pass and you'll be the victor ! Again and again Remember the bucket .... it will pass and you'll wake up the next morning proud of yourself ! After a while the craving will stop.
Good on you for getting sober but if you want your channel to grow write a script so you do not repeat yourself over and over for 16 minutes. Ur channel is new and your are barely figuring things out but this is a small thing that will go a long way for the quality of ur channel
This channel isn't actually my main focus and is just something I come onto where I wing it. I have other channels that I put my energy into. But thanks for the advice.
@@David.Masson idk you have a good message tho there are a lot of young people that go through addiction and depression its just ur content will get lost
I think the message is a good one and nothing wrong with repeating it. Same or different angles, maybe just one of them will hit home for someone. Not everyone is using social media to make money. Also worth noting is how much books like Allen Carrs, or like Richest Man in Babylon, repeat and repeat the same message. Yet they are considered classics.
your words are tying together so many things i've been reading lately. i really appreciate you sharing! i'm 25 days clean from my drug of choice today and i feel like this time, i'm never going back. i'm too excited about being clean & sober!! life is 1000000000 times better. so grateful for another shot at life.
When one cannot accept themselves or the abuse from the world or their bad decisions and unguidance. It is so available I never heard it that way before. Like many I started with weed and became dependent. I grew up around extreme alcoholics and a very sad childhood
30 years sober but I drink in moderation Psychiatric medications were my loss dead years. I quit psychiatry. I got some organic natural health. They almost killed me. That is a bad system of escape. Learning to mindfulness and dealing with your problems is good psychology.
Great stuff man. Anyone ever tell you you look and sound like Shia Lebouf? Anyways. I have been in and out of recovery. The longest stretch ivebhad was 7 years. I was ( and currently am) in AA. When i worked my program I did great. But the biggest game changer for me has been getting into therapy. I was the kind of guy who was adamant about not doing therapy, that it was all a bunchbof nonsense. I tried it a couple times at other people's requests but never stuck with it. I had a couple of really terrible therapists. One even fell asleep while I was talking. Anyways. This time around I figured I needed to do something different. I found a great therapist and have been really giving it myvall and doin the things she suggests to try and clear the horrors of my past. And it works. Thanks again for the content. It really helps.
Dave, I gotta disagree with one thing; I got over my stuff and feel like I will continue, but still find these videos helpful, as insight into the whole thing, and way to connect with others’ ideas and knowledge they acquired, and to stay focused on my ongoing happiness (sobriety). I always learn something from your videos. Thanks!
I love listening to you. I have saved and listened to all your videos.I agree with your theme of doing what works for you.I love AA. But for some it takes therapy and AA. Alcohol was not the problem. It was the garbage inside that kept me from the Higher Power that holds my moral code that is unique to me.
I was thrilled to see you made another video. I was a stuffer of emotions and feelings. I agree with you and say therapy is good if you are honest with a therapist. I am a big believer in AA. You are doing the key thing in AA trying to help others what works for you. I like where you say this is my experience not something that you have to do.Thank you
