@@darylmixan8170 seriously. It’s been great. One of the best things I could have ever done!

Keep up the good work

This hit hard for me rn

1 day at a time, friend.

Holy shit....thats deep 👌👌👌👌

I feel you... know that you are worth indeed

A few months into my 2nd try with sobriety. I have a craving.bad. Not physical obvie but mentally. Trying not to give in.

Its ok man. You got this. I was sober every time one of my buddies were deployed and jumped back on the wagon many times. Now that I have children I know they will do what they see and not what I say. Their future is way more important than my temporary fulfillment

You think weed caused your relapse? My family uses it - I hope they never go back to the bottle. Good luck on starting over. You've got this.

Much love brother x

Not that you abuse alcohol however my Nephew did big strapping guy over 6 ' died from it though sepsis from his liver sweet man The things we aren't as usual told you know take care oh he was labeled Covid Ugh still waiting for political advisers to get a little smarter because I can see China here and not for tea something like that?

Started smoking weed after 6 months sober

34 days sober now, feels good to keep going

I’m starting today. Not drinking today.

Don’t worry mate pay day soon

I AM PROUD OF YOU~I believe in you 🥰

Another 25 days and you'll.wonder why you even drank. 😊❤

Happy Birthday!!!👋🙂

How long did you drink for..?

Goodlucj buddy

Good luck. I quit drinking at 41, more than half year ago, and I feel great about it.

God willing 🙏🏾

Still going strong! Hope all are well.

Way to follow your instinct.

@@highsierrasun Thank you very much Miss Linda ☺️🥰😚

I’m trying to permanently cut so much stuff out…booze, cocaine, gambling…basically a fucking degenerate that needs to sort himself out

Good lad

Did the same thing (kind of). I remember sitting at the bar hammered. My stomach felt awful, my brain was buzzing, I looked down at my gut and remembered how skinny I used to be. I suddenly felt this absolute and visceral feeling of disgust with myself wash over me. I slid my cocktail that wasn't even half empty away from me and walked out of the bar. That was my last drink.

GOD BLESS YOU! AMEN

Omg two weeks congrats i pray 🙏🏽 i can too I’m praying for u and me today starts my new journey

Im proud of you. I can not even go 48 hours.

After day one. I am breaking. Sorry i am on my husbands account.

I feel you girl. This is me.

Congratulations!

I hear you brother. I turned 30 in '21 and for most of the decade I was playing in bands, addicted to Heroin and Coke, managed to kick both but was stuck with booze which became a bit of a problem. I'm drinking less and less as time goes on but theres something about being an artist in any capacity which seems to make intoxication quite difficult to avoid. Not saying that's the case for everyone in that position. Turns out weed is helping me cut down on booze.

I feel you man. Two of my bandmates are big drinkers and were always playing bars. I've been having a much easier time dealing with the scene and abstaining during the shows but it's not fuckin easy by any means. It's nice to hear someone else has this same problem👌

That's kindof interesting, which is rare for anyone talking about music

I've had the same problem for all my life. When I was 16 my band mate made bray at our rehearsal places boiler room. And drank. Well when I was twenty I started to be a heavy drinker. I drank basically everyday at least some amount (except in army for a year). I never thought I was an alcolic but a casual drinker. For 10 years I always had an excuse for my drinking.. when we reheased with bands I've been in I always drank. I felt it gave me more inspiration in making music. Didn't feel right to play if I wasn't at least a bit drunk. On gigs I drank and drank a lot. Felt sober after 6 pints, but thinking afterhand I wasn't as much as I thought. Some of the gigs started to go wrong and I wasn't keeping time as a drummer should. Got fired from couple of bands and just starting to realise that it was cause I always drank and was drunk. Some gigs I did with just two drinks and then made a limit that 2-3 is the max. Well it was good life but lost my fiancee, job and much more. Don't care about the money. I was always drinking. What ever the occasion was.. X-mas with family - what ever. Gradually the music started to fade from my life and found myself alone drinking. After covid realized I drink a 18 pack every night home alone. Some years ago without beeing playing drums for 3 years I went to conservatory in helsinki to play with a group of people and drunk again obviously and realized that the drinking had really taken a toll.. Now I'm trying really hard not to drink, but feel it quite hard. Feels good after a day or two beeing totally free of it, but it comes back. I have realized that I can't drink at all. Spent over 20 years of my life loving drinking - now I hate it. I wish tomorrow is again a sober day and I'll find some power to resist it.. Thank you from your story mate!

You got this .​@@gringostarr69

Excellent. As a grandma. I'm thinking of going cold turkey from my glass or two of wine or margarita several days a week just to help me age more gracefully and help my body be truly healthy. Not because I'm addicted or abusing it. it's like at the first sign of a cold my body doesn't want it at all for the entire duration that I feel crummy so I know I can do it. I plan to perfect the mock tail because I do love the taste of lime! Ha. Kudos to you for just deciding to be healthier for your child!! 💪🏼

Congratulations. AA IS VERY TOXIC 😢

Thats amazingly awesome

That's wonderful : ). It didn't work for me. Saying,"I won't drink today" made me feel like I was saying it's ok to drink sometime and an urge would come because I couldn't wait... I'm sober now, though.

@@AgeismGoesBothWaysHa! Me too, AA when I would go would make me think how fun all the other people would be to party with, that definitely didn’t help! It is nice to hear other people have the same struggles and overcome it though.

Easter bunny and a unicorn told me the same thing

That's exactly the verse that popped into my head when I watched this. Praise be to Yeshua ❤️

INTERESTING!

I had My first drink @ (9-years old).

I HOPE YOU'RE WELL.

You are not alone!! You can do this!!!

I thought I couldn't either. But did. You can do it my friend. I highly recommend watching Jordan Peterson and Theo Von talking about quitting.

I feel you fam. I've never hated anything more than alcohol

​@@sumofit4475look up Dr Berg here in YT. You'll probably need to replace minerals, vitamins etc destroyed by alcohol ie Thiamine, Potasium, Magnesium. A probiotic will help heal your gut flora which has probably been damaged and this helps with anxiety as the gut feeds the brain.

Go to an AA meeting

To all of you, I BELIEVE IN YOU, YOU CAN DO IT.

My Nephew died from sepsis from alcohol only 33 big guy too sweet man Also Virus Mania they never isolated a virus to make one in the book ugh they labeled my Nephew as covid by the way lies

TRUE!

Awesome! Keep up the good work

PRAISE the LORD!

Friends don't ask that. You're still hanging out with the drinking buddies.

Find new friends Martin. Sounds like they were not your friends in the first place.

😭😭

Yeah I get the... oh he's doing his not drinking thing again 😞

Don't be dissappointed. You still accomplished those 30 days, and that means you can do it again. 😊

It feels fucking good to get drunk after 30 days lol

I know this is two years later but... There's nothing weak about 9 years sober (11 now?)

@@le13579 I'm still at it. How about you? I know you got this.

It is extra strange for all of us - so in the hour you are in right now - look around and think just of it .... is it tea time in your best cup? Or is it stretch time? Is it time to watch a new movie ? Just don't do evil out of despair - and hang in there - I have lost my energy - but will encourage those who still have it - maybe we will be around for the next stage (feudal, industrial, capitalist) and then we can benefit from being good people.

Melanie, ask yourself do you need it or do you want it??? If you don't need it then you never wanted it. And ask yourself, would a drink help?? We both know it wouldn't. It would only create more problems if not bring back any old problems. Be 100% honest with yourself. If you fall off the wagon, get up and get back on the wagon . Never stop trying, never give up. You can do this, keep the FAITH.

Often it feels like it does good though, like you know it’ll take your pain and your thoughts away and at that time, that seems good, like the very best thing. That’s why it’s so hard to fight it 😢

Can you get access to a support group or some kind of help? So you aren't doing it completely alone.
