Very good video I used to have vivid drinking dreams

Agreed we have to realise that the alcohol controls us great advice

Very good information thank you 🙏

U stop drinking......u guys love drama

My best friend is an alcoholic. She Went into liver failure at 35 (5 years ago). Hospital gathered us to discuss end of life care as they had tried everything they could. We had her medivac'd to The Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA USA and they had ONE last trick they could try to save her and by a miracle of God, it worked. She was in hospital for 6 months. Had to re-learn to walk, eat etc. Today, she is still alcohol free. Her liver has repaired itself. She has a lot of memory problems. I would advise everyone to quick and quick today. Seek help and do whatever you have to, to stop. Good luck to all.

Currently at 42 days. Couple of nights ago I had a dream where I asked for a glass of water and someone gave me a really weak gin and tonic. I remember feeling distressed that this meant I’d have to go back to day one, restart the clock…and all because I had accidentally drunk a gin and tonic. What was even worse was it was a very weak, watery gin and tonic. I could barely taste the gin. It seemed monumentally unfair that my hard won five weeks was blown and the drink wasn’t even a good one. Then I woke up. Relieved that it hadn’t really happened. Thanks for making these videos. I’m finding them helpful. Ron

Elephant and the ants never heard that one before but it makes total sense to me,,, Good video and snd advice ps glad you're cats ok

Very helpful video Frank! When you get addicted to alcohol a lot of things change and a lot of strange behaviors become normal to you. Drinkers think about alcohol all the time. If they aren't drinking the stuff they are planning when they can next. Addicts are constantly risk assessing every situation in life to make sure alcohol will be available should they want to drink. Thoughts of wanting to drink are nothing to be ashamed of. As a matter of fact, it’s a natural part of quitting drinking. However, when the idea cannot seem to leave your mind, telling someone about it can help open you up to receiving the love and support you may need. Just ask yourselves: Do I want to give up one thing to gain everything, or do I want to give up everything for one thing?👋

Wow.

🤩 Thankyou

Drink???? One sip and i already know where im going. It hits different with me. Im an alcoholic. No way or straight to hell.

Imagine if the depressing truth is that you are born an alcoholic with the genetic set up to make it inevitable . . . .

Im an alcoholic and an addict. I have battled this for 34 years. I had 7 years of sobriety at one point but flushed it all down the toilet when i got a case of the fuck its and moved down to the caribbean in the us virgin islands. After a 4 year bender i am happy to say that i now have 45 days clean and sober. I dont know what you do, but i am in AA i have gotten into therapy, i watch videos about recovery and have even started my own youtube channel where i tell my story and talk about diferent topics of sobriety. My life has never been better. And its all because i dont pick up the bottle. But for the grace of god go I.

What was that, just after 6:50 ?! You look like we lost u there for a minute?! Mini fit, brain fart? Tic? Was freaky for a minute?!

I was a heavy drinker for 40 years and I quit. My secret? I stopped buying alcohol and pouring it down my throat.

Sorry to hear about your lovely cat; extremely traumatic very anyone to witness. In high stress I used to turn to alcohol. In AA it's addressed as a drink is never going to make a situation better. I disagree slightly. I believe if you have an underlying disorder such a panic disorder/ASD/ADHD related then you'll see the pattern in yourself turning to something that knows works. Sure the anxiety comes back thick and following hours or day later. I think mental health in this country is severely underfunded and some of us with AUD are not being taken seriously. It's great you got rehab funded through work, but for most of us we probably won't have that open to break out of addiction (other than self will, reading, or AA which I've tried and therapy )

Demons and witches along with wizards..casting spells and rituals on people.

What do you do to stop the inner chatter in your head? That’s my biggest issue

So sorry about your cat 😔 glad he survived

Super helpful video, Frank! Some people give in to cravings, temptation or peer pressure, some are triggered by stress or emotional trauma and some are terrified of being sober and having to feel their emotions for the first time. Addiction is a lifelong battle and sobriety is something addicts must practice everyday for the rest of their lives. Relapse can be part of their sobriety process, so you have to remember how far you fell, before you can get back up. 🙌❤

I was in a place for people with substance abuse. I was drinking just once a week. The people I went to this place with tended to keep being derogatory and homophobic towards me, one day everything seemed not real, someone said one thing and I left and went back to far more binges. I was isolated before joining that place, and what I feared came true,

Happens every effin time... Uncanny. After about a month of sobriety I start feeling good then I think to my self: 'Let's go restaurant/bar/patio and enjoy myself with a 'few' drinks. I got this; I've been good.' Then after that second drink something in my brain light up and I'm gone; which leads to about 5 days of binging.

I don't know haw people drink the alcohol i try different drink then never drink after that the test wos horrible

You’re courageous for talking like that 👏🏻👏🏻

I think you'll make a very good counsellor

Thank you so much! What U said is pretty much what I’ve been thinking, but more eloquent and with some experience behind it!!

I tried alcohol in my early twenties but, try as I might, I couldn't get addicted to it. It just gave me headaches and made me want to vomit. That was enough for me!

Alcohol ruined my life bigtime lost it all because of it..Mrs went my kids home car the lot went I was in a cycle I fort I could never get out of ..ended up doing time in prison because of it and it was the best thing that could of happened to me...as I have now completely turned my life round been sober for 2 years now and it's good to feel human again 👍

You don’t have to lose it all to BE an alcoholic.

Keep it up mate, anytime I ever think about having a drink I just remember the horrorshow my life was when I drank, it stops any temptation instantly.

Coming to the UK for the first time from NZ I was surprised to see that hard liquor is available at corner stores and even at petrol stations.

“How do we get sober?” Abstinence, ridding ourselves of resentments and making amends, avoiding people, places and things associated with drinking, belief in a Higher Power who will guide us to recovery, acceptance of what we are and creating life changes. Living our sober life one day at a time by not projecting into the future but in the NOW. I’m 35 years sober by following the listed guidelines.

I’m not an alcoholic, but I did stop drinking two years ago. Basically, medical and personal reasons just kept stacking up to the point where it didn’t make sense to drink anymore. I noticed something weird though that I think you might be able to talk about. A lot of the people used to drink with don’t seem to get the message that I just don’t want to drink anymore. They seem to think getting drunk is the problem. That leads to a whole lot of conversations like well you can just have one or you don’t have to get drunk. It’s hard to explain to them. No, I don’t want to drink at all.

“Denial” is not a river in Egypt.

A normal self centered person!

Unfortunately some people don’t realise they are alcoholics until it’s too late. Thank you for your testimony 😊 take good care!

Don't drink no matter what... Put everything into healthy vs unhealthy category.. Get rid of unhealthy... Take care of yourself and others... Let time take time... Do not engage in other addictive behaviors... Meetings are good too...

Bless you ❤

Too true ❤

My sister passed away due to ALC abuse Alone . Pray for delivery

I find your videos valuable as I try to come to terms with my own alcoholic addiction. I’m 25 days into my 2nd try at total abstinence. Kept trying to manage my drinking, but I must be an alcoholic because limiting my drinking seems to be beyond my abilities. Abstinence is hard, but stopping at 1 or 2 drinks is much harder. Ron

They lie at the side of the pavement and pee themselves! 😂

I have been drinking heavily for 35 years and put drinking before everything even if it meant being on the street. I can easily drink 20 beers a day and realized I have a problem decades ago. I literally had nothing to lose other than possibly my life. Tried Vivitrol, Naltrexone, Treatment but I was dedicated and didn't sincerely have the drive or ambition to stop. Change only comes when you believe you owe it to yourself.

Peace and love brother ❤️ you spoke the truth......I am battling my demons...... your video was fantastic x

I stopped abruptly in jan 2023, after watching Hubarman's 2 hour youtube. I drank 35 years 1 to 3 drinks a day.

Well done on making the videos and your fortitude in stopping , it’s good you had the emotional intelligence to stop 🛑 it’s not easy at any age I’m 53 I quit at 48 , the earlier the better says I !

I was a one night a week Alcoholic binge drinker I could drink normally most of the time but when I went out on a Saturday night I’d get hopelessly drunk, so it was all or nothing for me I had to quit , there are different forms of alcoholism different layers to it and they can all kill you or mess up your life in so many ways !

❤ Such a great honest share ❤ I need to sort my toxic relationship out with alcohol out & really deal with past trama, instead of helping it makes anxiety worse. Good luck everyone ❤❤❤
