Drinking used to be normal!

- In this video, I share my journey from thinking that getting drunk every day was normal to living a sober and fulfilling life for the past 8 years. My old normal was insane - constantly expected to be drinking and bringing back up drinks for others. But now, my new normal consists of getting outside, doing things for others, and finding joy in watching my father-in-law. Join me as I reflect on the transformation from a destructive lifestyle to one filled with purpose and gratitude.

Thanks for sharing this; it made sense for sure. I feel it's really hard to live the exact opposite of my old norm from active drinking, but i'm trying to make that shift. Thanks for continuing to support the community by sharing

Wayne, Doors open when you want to visit Fort Hood Texas.
3:56 That's a perfect description of an addict's mindset. Just total obsession over their drug of choice.
Heey wayne, sadly drank again last saturday.. a lot of bad stuff happened again but im back at day 8 starting treatment this friday (just therapy no rehab or anything) and im confident it will stick this time my friend. Looking forward to your stream again :) Day 9 today
Congratulations on day 8.. do you mind saying what you think led you to a drunk?? I know you can do this! We are not super heroes..only human, so remember progress not perfection.
@@1Sober2Another Mainly the stresses of work and just building it up too much and needing an outlet really. I can easily go a month without every thinking or needing a drink but once in awhile a switch turns and i need an outlet which drinking ofcourse is the easiest. I become very dark and almost suícidal when i have a binge session which happened week ago too. I come from drinking every weekend so this already feels like im winning this battle with alcohol.
Thanks for the video man :)
@@1Sober2Another Also struggling on the weekend usually because i either was always drunk or hungover all weekend up until wednesday and then friday id go all out again, but ive done that for so long i struggle to find outlets to let my frustrations out. I know what i need to do but i just cant, its weird.
@@Tenenwasser my friend, I completely understand..I was on that vicious cycle for decades! What I did was (not saying it is the only way) I went to AA meetings to occupy my time and be around people who knew what I was dealing with, I found outside activities, I did everything I could think of to let that 15 minutes of "a drink would be nice" to fade away. I also know pretty much what will happen if I do drink.
@@1Sober2Another Hey thanks for the comment, cravings arent too bad for the month but then suddenly i think "hey i havent had real "fun" for awhile and pickup 2 beers and 1 beer already sends me into full blown crazy alcoholic mode. Im starting therapy this friday, 4 hour intake already and see where it goes from there. Its not that i like or think a lot about alcohol its more that my head gets full and i need a drink to empty it and it always goes wrong.
Struggling atm I can't seem to stop its killing me this disease
hey man how are you doing, you drinking right now?
@@Tenenwasser just stopped about 3 hours ago but cos I've lost everything job / girlfriend / family etc I'm trying to find a reason to stop all together wouldn't wish this disease on any one
@@johnfeehan7502 Hey man, good stuffs you stopped drinking man. Gotta do this for yourself brother. Gotta have a plan ready or a goal to achieve, seems hard at first but once you get going it will be much easier my friend. Everything can be gained back, your life is not over. Just keep checking in and watch some youtube videos aswell.
Can always talk to people on this platform if needed my man
Life does for sure get hard sometimes, but look at what you do have, cant change the past anyway so no point looking back. This mindset can change your life.
@@Tenenwasser thanks for your advise thats true gonna try my best to stay positive and get sober
Hey man,
Nice talk! At what time is your livestream tonight?
