I’ve been studying alcohol both from a spiritual and scientific perspective. Essentially, the more you drink, the greater the risk of alcohol hijacking your brain’s reward system. It tricks your brain into believing that the source of happiness is alcohol. It’s crucial to stop before it reaches a point where it becomes very difficult to quit. The more frequently and intensely you drink, the deeper and harder the impact becomes to reverse. You need to reprogram your brain to recognize that alcohol is harmful and that the happiness it provides is deceptive and temporary. This might help someone out there. Also, praying and fasting can be incredibly supportive. Stay strong, everyone who’s struggling!
@@CraigFox-lt6lt Changing habits like drinking can be really tough because our brains get used to certain triggers and patterns. But with time and effort, it’s definitely possible to shift these habits. Discipline helps, but so does asking for guidance and clarity from God if that’s part of your belief system. And IMO it is harder the first weeks, then gradually gets easier. Identify your triggers and see how you can work around them
I couldn't imagine being in this position. I really congratulate LD for doing what he can to steer people in the right direction 👍🏾 No matter how late in the game it may be, it's always the right time to do the right thing
Right??? What LD has been through truly blows my mind. It should be a reminder To all of us of where we can end up. God bless my friend hope you’re well!!
Got the same news 15 months ago Slayer, and L.D. tells the same story. I deeply feel for this man as we are the ones who live with this guilt and shame. It's a lonely place
@Slayer-7373 no worries bro I've learned to live with it and count it as a blessing my life now is far better than when I was a drinker and look forward to everyday I got left. God bless you Slayer
I don’t drink, but I have friends that do and friends who have passed away from it. I miss the friends who have passed from alcohol. Good caring people. I’m proud of you and LD for fighting this demon and not giving up. I’m subbed to both channels. Keep up the fight my bro, you’re doing amazing and winning. Again, I’m proud of you bro! 😎💯
God bless you man, thank you for being here. I’m so sorry to hear about your friends 🙏😪 this disease is treacherous. They are at peace though now, no more addiction. Much love to you my friend
Honestly I have had no reason to live since I was 41 and I still dont. I I understand being an addict is extremely hard. But the way I feel every day with my mental health issues is terrible as.well. I have absolutely no good days ever. Nothing to be alive for. Yet I'm stuck in this life. When I was told.I had ovarian cancer many yrs ago I was glad.. But it was only sta ge one and I had surgery and was cur ed. Now I'm just here for no reason. God Bless u Slayer. Take care, Deb
@debbieporter6581 depression is hard to overcome and I understand how you feel. However there are ways to combat this affliction and you should seek advice from professionals and get free of that lonely place
Debbie please don’t say this, you absolutely have purpose and I understand exactly how you feel. You’re not alone, people do love you and so does god. With the lord you are never alone. I live in constant anxiety most days, i understand but you have to see the beauty in life too. Even with all my problems I can still see the beauty in life and that we all do truly have a reason to be here. Please keep your head up and remember you have a community here. God bless 🙏
Glad you are still here, LD. Hope you get to see your grandkids. I know you are taking care of yourself and you do look good. All the best to you and your family.
Hope you all get better and you can make it. It's all different for me, as i am old, struggle with bipolar disorder and i'm already past the point of no return with alcoholism and drugs. But that's the way it is. But it's not the same like with others, got no family, no wife and kids, nobody will grief when my end comes and it shall be this way. I'm fine with this.
Hey Jack 👋 I’m sorry brother to hear this. Do you mind me asking what’s going on with your health? It’s horrid the damage we do to ourselves. God bless you my friend. 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 Thanks. Had already some talks with Bat Country about this. It's too late for me, but this should mean, it's not too late for others like you, so you can get through this and recover from alcoholism. The worst thing is that bipolar disorder makes life so bad, that it is just not worth the fight. You fight all these battles, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose but... there's no cure for the disorder around. It will always come back, you can't get rid of it. With mania comes relapses and with depression comes suicidal thoughts, it really sucks and it's very difficult to live with bipolar. After a 30 year long struggle, i saw it all.
LD is an awesome dude, thank you for commenting on his channel. Also don’t blame yourself, all we have is the now, the moment and the present. Do whatever it takes to find that peace that you deserve. God bless and thank you
You are not alone luke!! But I know the feeling you’re having all too well!!! It’s horrible I know!!! But there is light at the end of the tunnel!!! God will get you through.
@@Slayer-7373 I do really feel like this wasn’t his fault ‼️‼️‼️‼️was it eves fault when she got deceived in the eyes 👀 of the most high 💯 then Adam got deceived 💯 I don’t really feel like it was 100 percent your fault either slayer when you got your hands 🙌 on your first bottle of hard liquor 🥃 from your parents 💯 this fallen angel that got kicked out of heaven is trying to pull millions of souls to hell bro 💯💯💯💯 it’s so sad to because he’s doing it 💯 millions dieing from fetenal ‼️ goooosh !

Hey shades!!! Thanks my friend!! How are you doing man? We definitely need to sit down soon and make our video man. I need to check out your new video as well!!! Appreciate you brother, be easy.
Never take that first drink slayer because it's all over after that , kindling is real and im seeing things that arnt there 3 hours after my last drink
It's crazy how a doctor/nurse just saying a person has "X" amount of time can sway him to live a completely different lifestyle. I don't agree with it at all and I think it is medically unprofessional...but hey, I guess it gets people to change and that's the point of the scared straight method. I had a doctor tell me if I used opiates again, I'd die again. Was literally using opiates the next day 😂. That went on for another 6 years then I just decided I was done with it. Been clean for like...i don't even keep track. About 15 years. I just find it disingenuous for a medical professional to assign a timeframe on patients whose habits, lifestyles, and situations can drastically change at any given moment. I'd understand, "You're cutting your life short," "You're going to be facing more tests soon," "Your family needs you, you really should just stop." What I don't agree with is, "You have 1 year to live," because assigning a date is far too structured, exact, and lacking the information needed for anyone to determine that ✌️. It's basically BS with the hope the patient has something to lose that's valued greater than the habit. Excuse my bit of a rant.😅. Lovely shared session and great collab!
Alcohol wants me to suffer today and I want to inflict the pain on to others I feel numb and confused I feeling orf nausea and doom , the withdrawals are in the post its going to be a bumpy ride, play stupid games win stupid prizes
Hey Luke I’m so sorry brother that you’re going through this hell. I know the gloom, the doom the whole 9 yards. You WILL get through it though and you will be alright. You are not alone, if need be take yourself to a hospital. Keep us updated Luke, also keep your head up 🙏🙏

This helps intellectually. ..I just need to put it into action.
Love this, agreed.
@@strategicavocado I always felt quite innocent, though deep down was questioning my own daily behavior. I fell prey to the "tricking " you mentioned.

Slayer is right. This is really powerful testimony and ppl should listen up. Ty guys for doing this service. Blessings to you and the community 💚🤟💪🏻
Thanks as always Mona 🙏🙏 I definitely think LD’s story needs to be heard by as many people as possible. It’s extremely important. God bless
@Slayer-7373 did anyone find LD'S podcast? He played it down quite a bit. I haven't searched yet. Hope it's a great day Mona and Slayer!!! 🙏
@@CraigFox-lt6lt I have not seen his podcast Craig, but I definitely look forward to checking it out.

Great vlog gentlemen! Family is key to quitting. You show your love for them by being there for them.
Hey thank you so much Richard 🙏 also 100% correct on the family thing man.
Slayer you are so right. This is really powerful information!! Thank you so much for this video. ❤

I feel so alone 😭😭😭 why does this evil substance exist why does the human brain torment with constant anxiety and why , fuck everything
You are not alone luke!! But I know the feeling you’re having all too well!!! It’s horrible I know!!! But there is light at the end of the tunnel!!! God will get you through.

Be safe!!! Seek medical attention if need be brother!!! 🙏
Really cool stuff you guys. I can't imagine the doctors telling me that either.

One drink will forever be too many for an alcoholic. One leads to 5, 5 to 10. I know all too well my friend. Please hang in there

Amazing how much alcohol can fuck up your insides.
