I just hit 2 months clean from Fentanyl. The first 3 weeks was absolute hell like having every ailment and symptom of sickness you can think of x10. I feel so much better now and im starting to live my life again.
I also owe Jesus Christ tremendously I couldn't have done it without him. I'm not here to preach or bash anyone who isn't religious just part of my testimony.
I was an alcoholic who popped vicodin and snorted coke almost every day. 28 years old. No kids, no home, no job, no car, and no self respect. My dad came home from work one day and saw me passed out on the sofa at 4:30 pm. He slammed his lunchbox and hat on the ground. Got in my face and said _"You have TWO WEEKS to do something with yourself or you are out of my f**king house! When I was your age, I had a job, a wife, kids, a house and 2 cars. YOU Don't HAVE A GODDAMN THING TO YOUR NAME!!"_ Well, I ended up joining the Navy. Dad and my sister didn't believe I would go through with it, so had to prove them wrong. Flew out of New Orleans a week later to bootcamp in Great Lakes, Illinois. It was basically a forced detox I could not back out of. Insulted right to my face while having cold sweats, forced to exercise, run, etc. In the end of it all, dad showed up to bootcamp graduation with pride and ever since then he was really cool to me. Now I have a car, a home, a wife, an 8yr old son, and dignity. RIP dad, thanks for setting me straight.
I quit cold turkey, no meetings, no fees, just the voice in my head and the “want to”. I knew for 6 months I was going to quit, just had to take the step. 4 years 3 months ago. 👍
How much were you drinking? Because i know a lot of people who "want to", but the issue is, they drink so much that quitting cold turkey would literally kill them from DTs.
@@tinybadastronaut I was drinking 6 airplane bottles (shots), of Tito’s and a bottle of Cabernet every day. On a good night 2 bottles. 42.00 per day x 7 days x 52 weeks. (15,288.00 per year), and that doesn’t count what was spent in restaurants or bars. Once you get through the first couple of weeks it gets easier.
@tinybadastronaut that's my issue right now. The "want/need to" voice is screaming at me. Problem is, I'm drinking shots of 80 proof vodka basically every single day. If not that, than multiple beers. I need to quit, but if go cold turkey, I absolutely will die, as I've been drinking this way for damn near 5 years, daily. A fifth or more each day. I have no excuse, just a lack of self control. All I see is, tapering off, but it's easy to get caught up drinking more than a couple beers until I decide that I don't need it, or I'm no longer dependent upon it. It sucks, but I did it to myself, so I must fix it.
@@chrisbeck6281 I would wake up on the couch with a half glass of un spilled wine in my hand so I would go ahead and finish it and it made me feel better. So ya, you can quit too. 👊💪, there is something about being the guy who abstains from alcohol that gives you a sense of accomplishment and freedom. Good luck!
I quit 24 years ago. I went to a doctor told me I had about 6-8 weeks left. I told him I drank a case of beer a day and he laughed when I said what if I quit ' he said if you are that severely alcoholic you will never quit.' Life continues to get better all the time. Like anything in life it's attainable if you want it enough...
@Christopher-hg2yi and I have gained almost 50 lbs. In 4 months since I quit drinking! I'm in a year long rehab currently. Just hope I can find something to keep me busy all the time so I won't go back to it
That doctor knew what he was doing. A case per day is honestly mild in the world of alcoholism where severe cases are drinking the equivalent of like 5 cases per day.
Don't forget Ebby... Oh an the Washingtonians .... for good measure & MOST importantly... The Traditions and their singleness of purpose !! The Traditions protect us from the internal and external forces that could destroy us... They are truly the ties that bind us together it is only through understanding and application that they Work. Arguably a combination of some of the most healing words ever assembled
My name is Bill was one of my favorite flicks with James Woods and James Garner. Its the story of how AA got started. I had to watch it at a PC1000 class. (Court ordered). To this day, I dont care what anyone says, NA and AA are one of the best tools in fighting alcohol and substance abuse. To me, it gave me a sense of power to say, " naaa, I'll pass, thanx".
Hilarious how your comment gets very little love in comparison to some who went into more detail and haven't even been sober for 25% of the time you've been sober. That's incredible dude. People hate hearing about how God saved them when they're living in their own self made hell, blaming anything but themselves. God bless ya 👍
People just don't understand what free will truly is. We have the free will to die a painful slow death from drinking, because we're too stubborn to put in the LEGIT effort to quit......and we also have the free will to stop if we TRULY IN OUR HEART desires it. It's our choice in the end. They started calling alcoholism a disease to further keep us enslaved to ourselves. If it's a disease it's not our fault but if that's bs, and it is, then that means the responsibility is back on us. People hate admitting they messed up though.......but they did. And facts are facts.
10 days in detox followed by 21 days rehab.. they wanted me to stay 3 months but I had to go to work or lose everything. After detox, it's all in your head and is easily beatable with discipline. I'll be 5 yrs sober July 19th.
This Sept will be 4 years clean for me & you’re absolutely 100% right about a lot (not all) of it being in your head which at times is the worst part….congrats,what you’ve accomplished is no easy task 👍🎉🕺🏼
I’ve worked in the rehab industry, it’s intended to keep you coming back and to not actually help you. The longer you can bill them the better, thankfully I no longer work on that industry.
I could feel my days were numbered. I was a month from retirerment & changing locations to be closer to my sons & their kids. I knew if i kept on drinking i would not live much longer, but most of all i didn't want to embaress my kids. All i had to do was take one step in either direction. I ask God to help me to quit drinking. That's all i said. Please help me. August 1 2013- I am still alive & have 3 new grandbabies. God will never leave you.
God never tries anybody with Evil. God never Forsakes those who put their faith and trust in Him. God gives those asking Him the Strength and Endurance to withstand pain and overcome their demons.
2 years 2 months sober. I was a massively heavy drinker, for more than 20 years. I didnt set a date, or make a resolution. I just hit ultra rock bottom, and just decided that i didnt drink anymore. No AA, no rehab... the 2 things that i do is not hang out with others who drink, and I watch cop body cam videos of drunk idiots embarrassing themselves, then getting hauled off to jail. Works great for me.
You were lucky. Look, if you're deep into it and you quit cold turkey, you could be looking at seizures or worse. You could die. When you're ready, do it under medical supervision. We all want you to survive and have a good rest of your life. God Bless.
30yrs for me, and I just decided to quit. I had to. AA was ridiculous, most were court appointed, had coolers of beer in the parking lot. So.... just slowly did it, till 30yrs alcohol free.
I was a drunk drug addict for 27 years - from 14 to 41. I'm now 28 years clean and sober. All it takes is a spine and a LOT of humility. Someone else doing it FOR you may help in the short run - but it's YOU that has to quit.
My 45yo brother lives with my 75yo parents. I think he's using both pills and alcohol and had been for years. He's on the verge of being kicked out. He wont admit he has a problem. He's barely living. How can we help him admit he had a problem??
@@_sowhat_ an intervention. Don't have to use a special place, but they do have people to help with one. It does help to convince people. Just get everyone together first , explain what you want to do. Follow the outline of the show. Everyone say their peace and let the person know, they're not welcome back home or even talking to you etc unless they agree to go to rehab. The end. There's no negotiations, that's it.
@@chikinamask that was a long time ago. I don't even remember his name, but I do remember the couch in his garage. I was living in Redondo Beach at the time.
@@twofarg0ne763He’s in redondo? Can you share any details? It’s rare to hear of gifted healers. I went to the late Gene Edidio. He had a healing center in Santa Monica, and also Escondido. He “jump started” your own body’s ability to heal itself. Good man. The real deal.
My trick to quitting drinking is hatred. I hate that my mom was a chronic alcoholic. I hate that my brother died drunk driving. I hate that so many relationships I've had have been broken because they can't not drink. I freaking hate that shit. Has kept me sober for over thirty years. It has also brought me immeasurable peace and happiness.
That is sort of what a hypnotist can do. During a quit smoking hypnotist, they asked each person to think of the most disgusting, awful thing. Toilet seat covered in vomit or whatever it is. To keep that focus and go into your cave, your safe place. It's been a long time ago. But I came out of there after smoking for over a decade, and went to the bar. (the quit smoking thing was in a hotel that had a bar). I was two hours in, drinking, when I noticed I hadn't once lit up a cigarette or needed too. The next day, I ate breakfast, ate my meals... nothing. If you know anything about smokers, is that after eating, it's smoke time. There was no desire to do that anymore.
I think witnessing what alcoholism done to my Maternal Grandfather(it killed Him) and other family members on my Father’s side, is why I don’t drink. I hated not getting to know my grandfather as a sober man, He was always drunk, the most time I spent with Him was before He died, His mind was gone from years of alcoholism. Drug addiction was also on both sides of my family, lost 4 cousins from it. Addiction runs on both sides of my family, I am thankful it did not take hold on me.
Regardless of how he quit, I've had the privilege of seeing him on stage, and I was truly scared he may pass before I got that opportunity. God bless you Ron.
I don't drink anymore. Of course, I drank enough in my teens, 20s, 30s and 40s I'm covered for a couple lifetimes. Lol. I had allot of good, crazy times. But looking back, wish I was clearer back then with my thinking and choices. I enjoy not having hangovers now. Life is so so very much better now. God bless everyone one their journey to getting sober. 🙏
Reading all the comments and I’m so happy that so many people have been able to beat their addiction. I don’t know what it’s like to go through this but from what I’ve read it’s horrific. To each and every one of you keep up the good work 👏👏👏👏
I just got my 25 on the 20th of January... ...and NOW they inaugurate the President of the United States on that day! Go figure. Yep, that's right. I haven't drank this millennium. I missed Prince's party: I was at an AA dance that night, partying like it was 1999. What a way to start a millennium.
Don't get me started Mr. White. I spent 14 years in a facility. I didn't need to be in. God straight up visited me and save me. He is the same yesterday and forever for anybody that would call upon him.
I hear you because my Higher Power was the one who gave me all the strength to get help. I detoxed, 5 months in an Intensive Outpatient Rehab program and graduated, go to AA and NA meetings. have a sponsor etc. Just made 1 year sober February 7th. Thank you Heavenly Father and all of my supporters. I will be attending meetings every week of my life. It's a lot of work and it's worth it.
To those of you who are still going through the early days/months of quitting, keep going. People are proud you are trying. You will have naysayers, prove them wrong and keep going. To those of you on the edge of relapse, don't fail yourself. You are stronger than you give yourself credit, this is a hard moment, a hard time...but it does pass. You have been through a lot, what is one more day of suffering compared to years of it. You got this. To those who have stayed clean, fuck yeah. Good for you. Keep going and keep living.
I love Ron White. I saw him at a solo show in an Oklahoma casino almost two decades ago. By the time he was done, he was wasted and really struggling, but he was still hilarious.
I worked as a nurse in a rehab facility in the early 80's. Detoxing for people who drink heavily for years has to be done under a doctor's care. The 3rd day is usually when seizures start. Dilantin is usually given to stop them. For anyone who thinks they can detox at home, I would say it's a bad idea and a horrible experience. Delirium Tremens are serious and scary. I'm kinda hesitant to believe in hypnotherapy, but I don't know a lot about it. Whatever works and keeps you sober.
It really depends on the type of drinker a person is. If someone drinks daily very heavy amounts of liquor for a long period of time, withdrawals might be there. If someone drinks from the time they get up to bed time, they will definitely be at risk for seizures and delirium...on the other hand, there are some alcohol abusers who only drink every other day or several days a week heavily and quitting can have mild side effects. The main thing is mental for them. I agree ppl should discuss it with a doctor regardless.
@@Ghers401 I had a close friend in a 12 month rehab, couldn’t go a day without alcohol or he’d have a seizure. But there was something special about this place. It was a faith-based rehab called Teen Challenge and he didn’t have any problem- literally nothing, no seizure, no headache, no throwing up. The Lord was VERY present there. This was a common occurrence for everyone there- whether it was heroin, crack, meth, etc
I’m 3 years sober. Drank heavily for about 15-20 years. I stopped when I realized why I drank, and the reason wasn’t an issue in my life any longer. I’m glad Ron got help. It’s a horrible addiction.
Clinical hypnosis is incredible for so many things. We had a great medical doctor who practices medical hypnosis in my area. He treated addiction. The courts would send him people to treat. I learned so much from him. He taught me that there are certain people you can’t help and don’t deal with them. I saw him kick a couple out of his office one day. I had two friends go to him (not for addiction) and I was amazed how their lives changed. He had me speak at one of his medical conferences (I’m a nurse).
Shit I quit drinking again 3 months ago then tobacco a week later you don't need nothing but desire, I detoured myself with no drugs I just sucked it up it's a mind game
No. Not true with alcohol and benzos. If you are bad enough enough Into it both of those will literally kill you. Seizures , Cardiac arrest.. it's very NOT something you can just do IF YOU HAVE A BAD ENOUGH HABIT. my stepdad had a stroke. Don't give advice you don't understand
Wow. RU-vid deleted my comment informing y'all that alcohol and benzo withdrawal will k!ll you if you are bad enough off. Seizure, cardiac arrest and stroke are just a few of the side effects of those two drug withdrawals... You HAVE to be hospitalized if you are in that deep and it's not as much as you think it would be. My stepdad had a stroke when he quit drinking and had to go on Ativan for 15 days to get through it. You can't just tell people stuff like what your comment says because it could end their life. Don't give advice you don't understand
I was a deputy working in the hospital @ Mens Central Jail in L.A. in the '80's.I figure I tied down well over 300 alcoholics. They would have died w/o medical intervention. Some died anyway. These were the worst of the worst, many with chronic liver disease, horrible abscesses, parasites & completely disoriented. The protocol required them to be medicated, usually with Librium & other drugs. Most heroin addicts got very little in the way of detox drugs, sometimes muscle relaxants. Alcohol was the WORST drug to detox from with the crack epidemic in full roar by then. Horrible. In about '80 we started being buried with PCP cases & AIDS patients, in addition to the routine suicidal & pschycotics-gallons of Haldol, Cogentin, phenobarb., Thorazine & a few others. I recall Qualudes causing severe problems for inmates addicted to it. Bad times.
@@mesalily-TeHWoRld Yes. To differing degrees. Hypnosis is a natural state that everyone experiences. Some people are more hypnotizable than other though. The more hypnotizable you are, the more effective the session will be.
I had an entrenched sugar (food) addiction for decades. I went to 2 sessions with a hypnotherapist and it fixed it. She downloaded the sessions to my phone. Now i go to the supermarket and not even tempted, it paid for itself. That recliner sounds awesome.
Why quit now? He don't have much life to live anyways. Look at his face he won't live to much longer. His face says it all. Says i drank everyday all day long for the greatest part of my life. What else i got to live for!!!!!
I went to rehab January 2019.. for 30 days.. then I had to stay in a sober living and continue iop for 6 months.. I’m still making monthly payments today to cover the 124k
Very honest of you and commendable. Most people would just keep that secret so they could take the easy road and continue their very tough struggle. I have to fight through real structural nerve damage and daily remind myself not to take that extra one. And sometimes I forget. However, the next day I'm stronger. Tough keeping narcs etc . In check. Just remembering Jesus is there for us really helps!
For a minute I thought I was watching Deadliest Catch. With that white hair looks dead on to one of the captains. Can’t remember the captains name though.
My husband had tried everything he could to quit drinking but nothing ever took away the cravings. He hit rock bottom and then asked the Savior to take his addiction away. He felt a massive weight fall away and from that moment, never a single craving. 100% truth. We have followed Christ ever since.🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏿
@@YouAccount222 thank you for your your warm reply. To answer the question yes it is better then fixable to the participants who want to end their dependency. For the ones I've worked in the past we identify any emotional issues that need repaired and then they are taught a method to replace the need of the drug for their body to release those good feeling pleasurable natural chemicals in the body to allow the brain at will to experience a euphoric State without the need for outside drugs.
@@user-ht9go4yg7w that's a very limited approach meaning your accumulated knowledge comes from business or corporations or religion and knowledge from these sources limit you ability to proceed into what is truly "possible" It reminds me of my mother who is a die-hard Jehovah's witness she went through 4 years of chemotherapy also she suffered from deep depression and hypochondria she is a perfect example of someone brainwashed by the system. Even though I offered her help in the beginning her teachings throughout life from made her think maybe I was a quack maybe I was doing something with the devil etc whatever. We will fast forward it to the point that she had a rupture in the lining of her stomach and began to bleed out internally due to treatments drugs and more they Corsed the leak but she had less then 4 hemoglobin and would not accept blood So she went to the hospice to die with an estimated 2week to a month to die. One of your "impossible" situations. So even though I went to Arkansas pretty much to watch her die for a year when I finally learned she only had a couple weeks left I planned my return back to California. But on her second week of being in the hospice and bald as an eagle chemotherapy..... She was abandoned by medicine refused blood transfusions and I offered her a choice do you want to heal or are you ok with dieing my life path let me be ok either way. She was at that pivotal point over some people do end up and she said screw it. I re-adjusted her neck and back like a chiropractor only I learned thru the healers approach and not the 6 month of you paying me approach from universities.... Changed her water gave her one vegetable juice smoothie every 2 days 3 times total and then had two conversations with her that recalibrated her subconscious for living to put it in short so the subconscious could heal I left as planned on the 2nd week ok get better bye. A month later she was released from hospice healthy / very stable 2 or 3 months in assisted living non of us are rich lol not everything is greed. And that was the end of 2017. Since then cancer free lowers depression even with her horrible thought on relationships decided to remarry after 20+ years of celibacy. Which is my favorite success story for the ignorant not my best story by far I've had people in wheelchairs repair and walk I have muscular dystrophy and can do hard labor the list goes on and on. True she went back to being brainwashed by her religion still and I most likely will not be able to help her on another situation which she undoubtedly will find herself in as is the process of mental input. It's limiting though when you say that it can't be done or it is impossible that only means that someone's going to have to wait till the day that you have no other options from the people teaching you that it is impossible and pray that someone is there that day that can fix you before you die. So let's just start off by saying there's a lot you don't know. Your knowledge of life in this body starts as a full-grown baby to death my knowledge of this life started at the size of a semen and an egg less than a grain of salt. You see any screen and the picture on it. I see the binary 01001,00100,00 that create everything you see and just as mysterious as people see that code and call it DNA lol lol still have no clue how to interact with the programmer. My process is to interact with the programmer. Hypnosis is only the toe in the door and a big toe it is. To sum up you should look up the below statement. Then PLEASE REMEMBER YOU APPEAR IGNORANT AF WITH YOUR SHORT STATEMENT OF IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. SAY I DON'T BELIEVE ITS POSSIBLE SO OTHERS KNOW ITS BASED ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND INTERACTIONS AND READINGS AND FINDINGS THU WHO YOU CONSSIDER CREDIBLE. Even a trusted source is still a opinion driven statement. In the very first hypnotism studies I'd gone thru we learned about how hypnosis was implemented in the battle field for amputations. No meds. P. S I had plenty of people come to me when I had my last place of business for people who needed to heal to come to and these people wanted to believe it was impossible I offered a guarantee to my services does your doctor offer one.... And even though their intent was to prove me wrong when I finally said are you willing to give it a biased opinion and not focus on improving me wrong but correct your problem they would end up bringing me more people.
He looks better than he did. Color pink hot sallow, theres light in eyes. Yes the hair silver most people by 50 are. I dont know how to explain it other when your are in addiction you start to look dead.
Good luck ! Whatever way works for you is what works. I did and continue to do sober recovery and attend a meeting every morning to kick off my day. I came into recovery a day at a time on December 23, 1978 and very grateful ! Thanks for sharing !
Rehab being 90k in places like California is why we have a fentanyl (and other drugs, too for that matter) epidemic. Although I’m sure there are more affordable options, a lot of these places are shady. The Sacklers should have had all their assets seized and sold to pay for rehab for every opiate addict.
My grandfather R.I.P he was a great old school guy never thought he'd be the type to try hypnosis but he till his last day swore it's what got him to finally quit smoking
My husband came from a long line of alcoholics and he quit and stayed sober for 16 years. He was never able to break the cigarette habit though and died at 58 from cancer. He said alcohol was easy in comparison.
Quitting smoking is tough! I was dependent on pain meds after a lengthy hospital stay and went through the whole withdrawal and detox process. Couple of weeks and I was really okay. But smoking? I quit 5 years ago and still fight that demon. Very sorry for the loss of your husband
I smoked for 25 years and I went to a group hypnotist at the red lion in Modesto California. The room was full and this class was a 99% success rate so I figured well let’s give it a try so two hours later a bunch of people probably around 100 of us walked out of there, breaking up and throwing away what cigarettes we had brought with us. I was thoroughly convinced that I could quit smoking this time with a little issue. And I did the first two weeks were rather hard but I was able to do that, my insurance also gave me a rebate on the class, so I was not out of pocket. I’ve now been clean for 28 years with no relapses and it’s the best idea I ever had. I had tried cold, turkey I tried cutting back I had tried acupuncture. Hipnosis was the only thing that worked for me.
My dad smoked cigarettes for 40 years! Went to a large auditorium where there was about one thousand people. This man comes on stage and says, 'So, if you really believe that you can't STOP 🛑 smoking, please get up & get your full refund now.' About 50 people left. The guy told everyone to begin smoking 🚬 and really enjoy it .... a lot. The man had a gas mask type thing on his face/head. What happened? My dad never smoked another cigarette again. Never. I find that amazing. That man's entire 'process' was about 45 minutes. Dad loved telling us how much 💰 money he had saved, year to date, every month. If someone REALLY wants to 'quit' anything, those guys have about a 94% success rate. (I'm happy for you, Ron!)
Man he looks Totally Different ! He is handsome. He cleaned up. Every time I saw this guy he was drunk. Great on stage funny as hell but so drunk. Man look at him now. That was seriously no small feat. I am 32 years sober through the help of AA. I ve seen it , the transfermations , so much there. Good for Ron ! I am so happy for him.
Eleven years sober! I left rehab a week early because it dawned on me, I will never be able to drink like normal people… ever. I can’t have it. I never ever wanna be like I was ever again. God Bless all of you struggling. But you’ll never be done with it until you’re DONE with it, period. 🇺🇸
I drank 1.5 gallons of bourbon per week. I had a cardiac event. Got it fixed. Doc said "quit drinking or die inside of 5 years." Haven't touched a drop of alcohol since. Ya either want it; or ya don't
God Bless you, Ron. When I say that I really mean that I'm so happy for you and wish all good things upon you. I'm 57 yrs old and, ive really fought for my life a thousand times but NOTHING even came close to clawing my way out of hell which was substance abuse. You have all my respect and really? You have your own now too. 😊
I know a dude who tried to quit drinking and smoking, rehab was a bust and a waste of money so they went to a hypnotist and after a few sessions for a week they completely stopped both habits and been sober for 15 years. The mind is a power tool if it can be unlocked and used correctly.
5 months sober. All my health issue reversed and I’m in the best shape of my life at 41. I’ll never touch it again. Zero desire for a drink. It can be done people. Stay mentally strong and my key to success was physical workouts everyday.
Congratulations Ron for taking whatever steps you've had to. My heart goes out to you and everyone who suffers from addiction. Thank you for sharing, you never know how many lives you may save with your honesty. Hang in there!
In the 80’s I could drink a half pint of vodka and go to the gym then run 3 miles. If I wasn’t exercising I could drink much more than that. If you didn’t know me well, you wouldn’t know anything was wrong with me. I rode around for much of the 80’s with pot in the car. Open container, buzzing my ass off. I got one speeding ticket in 1984 when I was sober. I drove like an old man in the Walmart parking lot when I was drinking and smoking. I stopped all of it in 1990. No relapses. Sober 34 years.
For everyone in the comments. How ever you get clean, sober up, is the right way. If it works for you that's all that matters. It's awesome hearing from you!! 15 years sober for me.
Why is addiction such a major problem that the government promises they're trying to combat but yet all cures to addiction are so expensive why yet the chemicals that cause addiction are becoming cheaper and more accessible
Yesterday was my 1st day not drinking. I started drinking when I was 17 years old, I'm 40 years old now. I came from a trouble home, so I would use alcohol to cope with stress (very bad, I know). Taking it 1 day at a time, joining AA meetings, working out, & getting back into painting/drawing to fill my time that used to be spent drinking. My advice to young people is to stop while you're ahead, especially if alcoholism runs in your family. Alcohol takes a toll on your body. By the grace of God, I had brains enough to never drink & drive, & never been arrested (knock on wood).
I'm inspired by all the people in the comments who are sharing their sobriety stories. It's a tough gig. I've been a detox nurse most of my life and I've seen it all. I've seen them come and go and succeed and fail. But everyone needs to remember ONE THING. That urge _never_ goes away completely. We had a drug and alcohol counselor who had been sober for 39 years. One day, I came to work to find him in a bed as a patient! I said, "what happened?! You were just about to hit your 40 year chip!?" He looked straight at me and said that he had the worst fight with his wife ever (at Christmas) People, just stay focused and _never_ let your guard down. You'd be shocked at how long some have gone without, only to land back in the shit face first. _Stay true to your loved ones if you can't stay true to yourself!_
My friends husband is 1 and 1/2 years sober after 30 years alcoholic. He goes to AA. And is now going into jails and rehab facilities and other places to share with those needing sponsors . It works for some ❤🎉
I drank heavy for 30 years. During coved I was drinking a whole box of wine a day and a pint of tequila. I hurt my back after falling down drunk one night. A friend suggested Kratom for my back pain. It worked but it also stopped all desire for drinking. I'm sober 3 years. I'm no longer type 2 diabetic, my blood pressure is down and I lost 80 lbs. I save about $600 month.
