Yeah isolation has been a huge issue with me and addiction. I started loving going to my job that I use to hate and not wanting to leave at the end of the day because at work I knew I was safe and the people were familiar and were the closest thing I had to family

Great job, great decision! I have same relationship with alcohol in the past. We had to break up 18 years ago and I don’t miss her

My channel is all about this. The anxiety went away when I got sober and when I got some help with medication. Great video!

Great podcast! Issy is so inspiring 😊

Such a mature beauty

Wow!!! She is so me. I can’t relate sooo much. Fortunately for her, she got out young. I’m 34 and have been an alcoholic since 16 years old and still struggling. Finally put myself on the waiting list to go to rehab, it’s my last resort

28 years old and I hit rock bottom. I knew where my Grandpa's shotgun was and I knew how to load it. My sobriety date is December 15,1981. Grateful to God and AA 🙏❤️🙏

It makes no sense to run a pub knowing the damage it does, and knowing that the majority of the revenue you get from the pub comes from problem drinkers. I am actually disgusted by this man

Co owns pubs!!!! Wow thats an evil twist

I worked at a brewery for 10 years. They gave employees 6 cases of free beer a month and we were also allowed to drink beer on the job. Good/bad job.

If we drink a highly addictive drug every day it’s not hard to work out that we become addicted but the forget to put this in there bull shit alcohol advertising 😥😥😥😥😥😥

We can function for a while but it’s far from high functioning alcohol is a highly addictive drug no different to all the other drugs it kills more people than all the other drugs put together 😢

Fantastic I can relate to so much I had so many Christmas days like you

Great interview Oliver. Kelly is amazing.

OCD is so misunderstood. More professionals and ideally everyone should be shown how it can manifest.

I’m on day 6 … for my desire to leave my life of pain and trauma … alcohol and weed really worked … but because of my deep spiritual beliefs… Choosing the exit button on your own that’s not an option… Otherwise I would’ve done that… So I was just trying to exist until I could get out… But then the divine powers that be kept giving me messages, so if you want to get out… The way is to overcome the tribulation hero to earth and then also find some heaven on earth being in the state of joy, happiness… And when you get time is it worse, you get it to elevate… So… That brought me too… The reality of I’m not gonna find any joy to drink… I’ve been doing that for Long enough … and it only was bringing me down and pushing joy and happiness further away … I don’t what even got me to take on my day 1 … then finding all these videos .. and realizing that it might just be the alcohol .. as I had so much going for me … why could it not happen again .. and it could .. but not with alcohol in the way .. in the few days of cutting it out … I have been blessed in little in big ways .. and that’s the God and divine in ourselves giving confirmation we are pointing onwards and upwards ✨❣️✨

I have 6 beers on a Saturday afternoon .I don't drink at all the rest of the week. Do i have a problem with alcohol ?? It's just a routine, and I enjoy it. Do I have a major problem???

Hang-ziety lol

Relate a lot to this. Vodka in smoothies suited as a covert method but red wine in a water bottle sounds pretty risky business. Good video thanks 🙏

Thanks, Rupert, for saying it's never just about having a good time. I believe this is one of the places that it hides. Therapy will help a lot.

Thanks mate, useful stuff. Eight weeks in and a lot of this resonates, so very helpful, cheers.

Awh I love issy Hawkins - great sober tiktok content!

Amazing guys!

Very inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing❤

Those who come from nothing usually become something 🙌

the way I try to explain it is like a big fence or wall, and it’s tall and you can’t see over it or what’s on the other side, so you can’t conceive climbing over it or understand why it’s worth the effort, but once on the other side you understand feeling joy again. The giant wall also has doors in it, but they might only be evident after you reach the other side.

Needed to say that the help he is taking about is alcoholics anonymous ,look for your local meeting s and the help is available. Thanks

I grew up with a functioning alcoholic father, who was a successful engineer. When not at work he was drinking, to blackout. I hated it, it ruined our childhoods. He retired and was at the point of drinking himself to death. He went into psychiatric hospital (on nhs in the days they took you as an inpatient) he had alcoholic psychoses and would experience delirium tremens if he went without drinking and have full blown non stop seizures. He was treated and went through detox and was discharged after 2 months and never touched a single drop again to the day before died. Hair of the dog, means you are basically an alcoholic as you are drinking to stop the withdrawals and are constantly drunk or constantly intoxicated - you then as he says are trapped in addiction. If you are drinking because you're are dependent on alcohol people around you know you are an alcoholic they just don't tell you that they know. If you are able to construct your day around drinking or not being able to not drink - you're probably in a social/career role where there is more reluctance to call it out, particularly if you don't mess up say at work. It's a lot easier to call out and sack the guy who passes out at his desk or is abusive or has numerous sick days and absences. Also people just can't be bothered if it's not close friends or family it's too much hassle. I avoid heavy drinkers and alcoholics like the plague and growing up with one I can spot them a mile off. In the UK it's incredibly easy to be alcohol dependant and carry on, it is everywhere. Pubs, bars, hotels, sports clubs, gyms, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, most shops sell it, social events are defined by it, drinking after work and at the weekend is a national pastime. Go to a kids party and you get offered a drink, even a church event will have drinks on offer. Some careers are geared around drinking, journalism, creative jobs, pr, events hospitality and drinking is normalised.

How cute is this misses?!❤😊

Joining in from Australia. I have been mostly alcohol free for a couple of years, with two occasions this year when I drank. Didn't enjoy it at all. I'm done. I used to drink very heavily in my 20s and 30s. What a waste of time that was. My mental health was destroyed, I struggled with everything in my life. I'm so healthy, anxiety free and happy now. Alcohol sucks

I’ve been alone for 16 years! I think that’s long enough To be lonely !!! I’m a sex and love addict SLAA has helped me through the last toxic relationship Now I’m in another one and it hurts even more Well, we broke up now 😢💔 My ex partner is a sex addict probably love addict And alcoholic & very needy and emotionally unavailable so he’s an avoidant Don’t know where to go from here I did reach out to my SLAA sponsor today AND THAT GAVE ME SOME HOPE BUT THIS REALLY SUCKS ! I would like a healthy committed relationship I have been recovering for several years even though I have recovery, the loneliness got to me and I needed attention. Therefore, I got into a dysfunctional toxic relationship.😢

I had forgotten what real energy felt like, yeah, it’s been over 2 years and I don’t crave the stuff anymore, surprisingly I didn’t suffer withdrawal and that was key, not even within the first days after go’ogling Steffon Barkload’s Quit Drinking Forever and quitting because I wanted to with no pressure or anything.

I am 2nd day of being sober its just a start please pray for me 😞

When you look at the red background for long enough and then close your eyes it turns blue

To anyone reading this who's only just quit or thinking of quitting, that bit about the stigma of being seen as a 'fuck up' for needing to quit will pass fairly quickly. It's uncomfortable telling people at first but it definitely gets easy after a short while.

Thanks for sharing this! My favourite podcast!

I started to think it would be easier to kill myself than to quit drinking, and that would be the best way to stop. That actually scared me into going AF. 500 days AF and not really been tempted to drink again. I closed the door and nothing would give me a good enough reason to open it again.

WHY the CAPTIONS?

that is hell on earth- holy smokes.
