Lost 15 pounds...but....I'm back...had to gut out a rough workout! Sweat heavily...4 days sober...Love ya brother... God bless you

I went back and listened to your story. I swear, I’m you in your early 30s. I’m 34 and my story is so close to yours. I have told my wife what my life could look like if I drink the way my addiction wants me to drink, and it’s you. I say that with love, no disrespect. I feel like you and I are so similar, you’re just ten years in front of me. I’m currently on day 14 of a full year alcohol free. I’ve committed to myself to do this year, hoping it can turn into forever. I know people say this all the time, but what you’re doing here is so important and you’re helping so much.

I heard your story on hard Knox.. ty for telling my daughters story because I'm still healing from losing her to a horrible disease. She did live many yrs after the first time the Drs said she wouldn't make it but for some reason she never stopped , maybe the mental and physical pain was more than she could bear, only God knows , I do know God gave her many miracles . I wanted to tell you I'm gonna lift you up to God in prayer because I do know nothing is impossible with God. I'm believing you are healed in Jesus name and he will use you to help others bringing all the honor and glory to his name. God bless you. I'm not sure how I came across the other video because I only watch preaching . Jensen Franklin is a wonderful man of God. Maybe you can listen to him too..

I just watched your interview with Hard Knox talks. I was in tears and saw a different side of you. I could sense that you had some kind of church background but wasn’t sure until I watched this. I want to tell you there’s a reason why God has brought you this far to this point. I will continually pray for you and your family and that you will receive complete healing in your liver, pancreas, and spleen. Love you friend.

Your channel is helping me tremendously!!

You are doing great

Just saw you on Hard Knocks Talks and it's amazing because I was following you before I even started listening to their podcast. What you are doing helped save my life and I know you're helping many others. Thank you. Seriously making a change in this world. God bless.

You speak wisdom man, it is very inspirational and you have a very good way of communicating. We are blessed to have your channel and your frequent posts

Keep all the great content coming, LD. You are helping so many immensely and I’m sure yourself at the same time. Putting these videos out is another project for you.

Hi LD and all of my fellow subscribers. Happy Tuesday to y’all. 🙂 I just finished watching the Hard Knox podcast. You are such a great speaker and I truly admire your strength, honesty, and matter of fact way of sharing your story. You are making an enormous difference in so many people’s lives. Thank you! 🙏

I think it’s wonderful that you frequently make “tailored” videos to help particular individuals who are seeking information or are struggling. How great is that!! I bet you’re the only RU-vidr who makes videos “to order.” This just shows your huge devotion to your viewers and is one reason for their great devotion to you. This is such a special, warm, supportive community and it is this way because you have set the tone. You are really awesome, LD!!!! ❤😊❤ P.S. Today Sept. 17 is China’s Mid-Autumn Festival, a time to connect with friends and loved ones by all looking at tonight’s full moon and eating moon cakes. 🥮🥮 Happy Moon Festival!! 😊❤

Thank you been needing this

Watching you every day is like therapy to me. Thank you!!

Hope you're doing ok man 🙏

Thanks awesome video!🙏🏻

Soooo true. I was always an artist. When i drank my love of art faded away. All those years painting, sculpting. I just stopped.

LD is blowing up !!! Thank you for what your doing!! His seriously saving life’s !!

I found your videos 11 days ago and have been sober ever since. I can relate to many things that you've said about drinking and sobriety. I really appreciate your videos and the honesty you show in them. I'm going through all your backlog now and am pleased to find that you did a series of interviews with your wife so have just started on those as I was interested in her side of things. I hope you live for a long time as you are helping many people. All the best for you and your family for the future.

Great advice, LD. I love your recycling idea. That’s awesome. Sorry you had such a tough night. Low blood sugar is no joke. My late significant other used to bottom out some nights. Thank God he would wake up(no alarm) but it wiped him out SO badly. I hope you have a better night tonight!

I used to eat. About 6 years ago is when I decided eating was f'in up my buzz.😢

So helpful - thank you ❤

Topo Chicos are fricking amazing during sobriety. It gives you the same “burn” as drinking while having 0 alcohol

Just fyi, each time you have apologized for the wind, I haven't heard any disturbance at all : ) Thank you for another great video! RU-vid videos are my counselling sessions now, lol! It really does take time to build ourselves back up in so many ways. My son was released from jail last week and his new, strong desire to be sober made me support him in building self-care again (prayer, food, vitamins, exercise, water intake, suggesting creative outlets, etc.) which was a good eyeopener and reinforcement to practice what I preach!!! I hear ya on alternative drinks... having a Death Wish Tea with me when around family that had beer really helped this weekend, again! My son was able to witness how well it worked to have an alternative, and that I didnt drink a drop of alcohol, even though drinking is a "normal" activity for family gatherings. In the past I ALWAYS gave in, so he never saw that til now (he's almost 25)🙏❤️ I just gotta prepare to take care because noone else will. My brother even asked me to take a sip of the beer, saying it tasted funny! Thankfully, there was no issue when I explained that I will NOT EVEN take A SIP, which my son also witnessed❤ Then I enjoyed my tea : ). Regarding Valerian, just a fair warning to anyone interested, certain forms smell awfully close to dirty socks, lol. Thank you, again, for your service to us all, LD! GRATITUDE and BLESSINGS🙏

Hey LD - hope your having a great day and feeling rested. I know it’s tough sometimes to get the food down when your stomach hurts. I’m hoping you’re doing better. Well my friend another great video. I appreciate the reminders you offer it really helps more than you know. I just watched the podcast @hardknoxtalks and wow it was literally captivating from the very beginning. I could hear your story a million times and will never be bored. You are an example of a miracle. You should be so proud of all you have accomplished and continue to achieve every day. May you continue to shine LD.

I've been watching/listening to RU-vid videos as a good distraction. Also, what you said about feeling so creative and inspired, like when we were kids, i felt that exact way after no alcohol for 30 days!! I was looking forward to not drinking later in the evening! So cool to hear others share this feeling!

Thank you brother

I just finished watching your interview! Excellent Interview!!♥️ & Very Powerful!!💯 I was already subscribed so I shared it out too. We had a flood here today! Now I’ve got to have work done on my roof. Thank goodness, the rain finally stopped.😊 Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.💞

I just watched your interview on hard knocks like I had never heard your story 😂 never gets old. You are so easy and interesting to listen to.

It seems most of us alcoholics are creative and anxious by nature?

That “dream state” that you sometimes wake up to happens to me as well. I sleep with a sleep tracker and have noticed that it always happens to me when I wake up in the middle of a REM cycle.

I tell everyone about the carbonated water. It reminds me of beer since it’s carbonated and not sweet. No body believes me though.

I’m sharing this video with my son.🙏

I haven't been on recently as I've had so much going on with property and work. Anyway, in all that time, I haven't had a drink, so I wanted to stop by and say that you've done a brilliant job. Obviously I'm not saying I'm cured as i still get the urge for a glass of wine but you've really given me the tools and mindset to manage that feeling! DonnaE

Hey G. What a great video for those out there that are new to this journey and for me also I'm still going through it. When you touched on not making yourself feel so bad when you relapse, I just wanted to share something about me relapsing. Because of you I thought I would get serious about sobriety on March 11th of this year. I relapsed 3 * 2 days each time. I beat myself up so bad he came into a bad depression. Reason why when I relapse I kept thinking now I got to start over again day one. I couldn't put all that pressure on myself anymore. That is why I don't count these anymore. I say I tried to quit March 11th and relapse three times for 2 days. I can't start counting here's day one again. I felt like I had to give myself credit for all the weeks and months in between I didn't relapse. I remember the first AA meeting I went to and they were so stuck on counting the days for the rest of your life. I hope you understand what I'm saying. I don't count every day. I know I tried to stop in March 11th. Relapse three times. I have to think about all the weeks and months in between the relapse I should be proud of.. just putting this out there because it works for me. I have enough going on positive in my life right now that I can't start asking off days on my calendar. Hope I'm not putting out a negative vibe. It works for me. As always a great video love you so much❤❤❤

The subscriber should watch your “It get’s easier with time “ Video

Hi LD, great to see you.

Thanks LD! Did you quit smoking when you got out of the hospital the first time?

Try eating some protein with your carb, eg a piece of cheese on a piece of bread. The sugar tab will give you a quick boost but it disappears and you’re low again. The protein will help your carb last a little longer.

Not that you need to hear it, but this is all so useful. I especially appreciated all the advice for sleep. That's really good advice for anyone!! As well as nutritional eating. Anyways, have a wonderful night, and god bless you!! 😊

Great advice as always LD!

You absolutely have to do it for yourself and you also have to be 100 % ready or it won’t stick…I wish the beginning didn’t suck so bad 😔 Another great video.

Don’t put too much pressure on you. You don’t need to upload a new video every day. 🙂

The triggers i cant watch most shows

You're right about those traffic triggers!! Also the alcohol pushing, even very nice ppl at a restaurant ordering another when you haven't finished the last. Do you have those issues with your pump very often? Thanks LD !

Can’t hear the wind.

Low carb, low sugar, low fat

Still in hospital. Sorry you’re having hypo’s. They’re keeping me in for the opposite reason, as my blood sugar is high for me (About 280), and my heart rate won’t come down. It’s not stupidly high - about 120-130, but they want it to come down. I hope that you get a better night, and that your blood sugar stabilises. I really can’t stand having pancreatitis. Sending my best wishes to all. Adam

Very interesting informative video Sir! Im interested in this Valarium Root! Im imagining its like a capsule you buy at your local health food store? If anyone knows anything lemme know thanx 👍

About what time should you consider yourself out of ‘active addiction’.

❤😊😊

❤

Great message brother!

My problem is doing anything without alcohol how can be replaced

Cbd not my thing. I love Polar selzers. Fizzy. Sleep, ugh, for me i have to get up, stay busy, and wear myself out to sleep. It's a process an not easy.

No shade but are you on disability now or how do you pay your bills? Curious about the financial aspect. You don't have to answer if you don't want to bud. Take care.

How about linking all the channels you watch? Unless you have already done it ❤

❤👍👏🫂🙏

Just wondering do you have an accountability partner? If not, I would be more than willing to be one. Just saying.

❤
