Currently an alcoholic in the phase of wanting to stop but the urge to drink resets every day and it’s like clockwork that I can’t stop. Have only been drinking heavily for a year but it’s a minimum of 6 beers a day, yes it could be worse, and sometimes reaches 12 in a day. It was easy for me to quit smoking weed in college when I began to feel this way, like I’ve had enough, but with drinking it’s much harder to curb the urge. Im not making this comment for sympathy, I just ask if you see this to pray for the courage to fight the urge each day as it seems to reset. Thank you.
I’m experiencing the same at 24, I just started binge drinking on an off in 2022, but exercise an reading information about why people drink, philosophy stuff like that, help you look at your self and figure out why your drinking, reason we drink is because we are tryna suppress something , breathing exercises help , use to think they didn’t but if you actually apply your self they can help you find a sense of calmness and balance when your in need of a drink or craving a drink
I've been sober for 7 weeks, 29 yrs old. One morning I woke up and went to an AA meeting instead of going to the gym. It's been great. Some of the people can be intense but it really does help create a foundation to find sobriety. Alot of older guys in the program are Eagar to help newcomers.
I was just sober for almost 2 years and fell off. 2 pints of vodka a day. The shaking and inability to function makes it so hard to quit. It truly is probably the worst “legal” most dangerous drug there is
When he mentioned that alcohol can make you alert because of this supposed "opiate" response, that hit me, im like this. I can stay up for hours just drinking and pacing myself and feel so energetic but when im sober i dont feel the same way
Same I can work an entire day shift, and go to the gym. Come home be tired as hell and get drunk and all of that flies out the window I can stay up until 3-4 am already having been up since 6am. No wonder my body is struggling the day after.
Stopped drinking two months ago and gave in today and drank again I feel like the scum of the earth. I wish I wouldn’t have drank again and I hate myself for it.
What you need to understand, is that practically everyone falls off the horse. What's most important, is that you focus on what you accomplished. You have 60 days of sobriety versus one day of falling out of control. 60 to 1? Big deal. You've absolutely got this. Keep focusing on the things that got you to 60 days, and keep pushing. Much love, and take care.
@@saddlar5786 That is a good point. Some people can't even do a week. That means there is strength. Cutting out people in one's life also helps if that is the case as well.
Once you get traction it gets easier. I did a sober October challenge last year and it felt like an eternity, but I really got a lot out of it. Did sober October this year and I walked right through it. Long story short I went from drinking everyday and not knowing how I was ever going to stop, to now twice a week with my goal once a week anyways that thirty day challenge opened the door
@@user-nd6ih7uq3j I did sober October this year too. But technically I did 30 days alcohol free from the end of September through the end October, because I wanted to be able to drink on Halloween lol.
it's easy when you remember someone who died from it due to psoriasis of the liver. You have to know and remember from personal experiences to not want anything to do with it but be humbled of people who choose it . Stay far away from one's who are violent with words with it as well as the physical destructive people. Young people will make mistakes it's okay. Some people may self medicate , well okay . When you choose to deal with your own emotional pain alone. You realize when you see how much better you look physically and you were never a heavy drinker . Months will go by and you encounter others as they fall apart . Giving up alcohol completely saves you money. So I tell myself the same things over and over. I will never associate with someone who has no self control in friendships or romantic because I see what it does to people.
It's so much easier to do if you live somewhere with a lot of outdoor activities and where weed is legal. I'd rather be a chill stoner than an obnoxiously loud alcoholic
One important thing when trying to cut out is to not hang around people who are drinking. You have to separate yourself until it's manageable. Now I can be around people friends/family who are not drinking. Im no longer tempted after some of the amazing results after only 2 months in.
Not for me, honestly. My body looks the greatest it ever has right now partly because I exercise daily, but I also have been starving myself and just drinking to give myself an energy boost and not having to think about the pain I’m feeling when I’m working out. It’s a good idea, but for me it only made me want to drink and numb myself more.
Alcohol stole my teenage years for me. The opportunities and memories and relationships and parts of yourself that it steals from you are way way way more valuable than the feeling it gives you.
Used to be a light drinker. But the Consistency of Drink Everyday like 3times a day , for more than 5 years went unnoticed by me. Didn't noticed I was Addicted to drinking until one day my new roommate saw me drink bottles of Soju, Sake and Beer during my final exam and called me "Amazing.". (To which she said and wonder how my brain still can absorb what I'm reading and doing while I drink ) . (I have a habit of whenever a difficult question /task come up, I will automatically drink for each question and for each answer I typed). Took my exam without anyone in exam hall noticed that I drink before the test. Never have I ever thought I was an alcohol addict. Thank god to my roommate that make fun of me, (while ask me to treat her beers and alcohol) I did finally realized that I need to stop. (Noticed also it can influence others to pick the bad habits) Few months in trying to stop my alcohol addiction, I was diagnosed with Pre Diabetic which maybe cause from my unbalanced eating diet and drinking problem. It truly became my motivation to quit drinking. When I first start, the first few months is the worst. I almost feel like want to just punch everyone in the face😂 or spit at them, but soon later on it became better and now I'm clean. It took me almost 1 year half to stop. FYI: Sometimes light drinker can turn one to be an alcohol addict even though you're tipsy drunk every day 😩 I thought it was normal because even in some cookings, sometimes we also put alcohol in our cooking recipes. Like traditional alcohol for cooking.
Well, that explains why after seven years of heroin, I immediately went to alcohol, and now I struggle to stop that. I legitimately got fired today because they found my bottle in the trash after I was in the bathroom. I got to get my stuff together or else I’m gonna end up dead. Please pray for me.
Jordan , Thank you for your pov. My biggest setback is hearing that I could die from withdrawal. So I keep trying to drink a small amount to ween off , then I just say " f it , I'll do it tomorrow " it's been 3 years since then. I'm so lost and don't know where to start. I guess I'll just stop and pray I don't have adverse effects from stopping

This should be shown in schools, he literally just told the signs of people that might get addicted more easily to alcohol than others, kids should know that before they start drinking… alcohol is the biggest evil there is!
I think it depends. I’ve definitely had wholesome, fun times while drinking, but that’s only when I’m with people who I get along with and love. When I’m not with those people, I tend to get a little demonic. But hey, who doesn’t like dancin with the devil and learnin some cool new moves? 💃
I like the. Tell yourself “I’m Not drinking .. Right now“ method.. and put it off for 10 minutes.. then 30 minutes.. then an hour… until your “just not drinking , Today” small victories.
yeah but that the big question isn't it what more important then drinking when you have nothing to look for or live for that will make you want to change?
Man, on google when you search up the reason for the creation of alcohol, it says it’s fun, and helps you calm down, not for me, 3 years ago my parents split up because my dad was an alcoholic, and just now, it hit me, I’ll never be able to have a family dinner again, or be able to not stress about who’s house I’m going to for Easter, or who’s house I’m gonna go to when I’m celebrating Christmas, and that I’ll never get to spend a Christmas morning, or an Easter Monday, with both of my parents.
There's nothing more important than alcohol. Without it, I miserable. Not going to worry about it any longer. Wine women and song is always been my motto and will be till the day I die
So Jordan is right, you REALLY MUST play the tape all the way through man. You should go to an AA meeting and do 90 meetings in 90 days, and do service work, like make the coffee for the meeting and clean up the whole meeting. Also you MUST get A sponsor. But this is all if YOU really think that you are an alcoholic and admit that you are one, then after you stop drinking, admit that you are powerless to your addiction, and fully surrender and let God take the wheel.
The lockdowns and dva really got me, I have my kids as a reason to quit but they are also a trigger , I’m trying and trying but I fall once or twice a week
Honestly, I don’t think alcohol’s necessarily the problem; but a symptom of a deeper issue. That issue most likely being pain and sadness/depression. Fear and anxiety as well. I’ve noticed that when I drink alone or with people who I can’t really connect with on a real or deep level, then I become fairly “evil”. But when I’m with people whose company I enjoy, I am usually able to see the good in myself, others, and the world at large. I wish we could all just come together in harmony, respect, and love, but for some reason we can’t. Maybe it’s supposed to be this way. 😕
Ive tried everything I can think of even been to rehab quit 4 years got gallbladder removed and got colitis ive been trying to quit drinking for 7 months i will do good for a while colitis flares up and its been what ive used to kill pain ive cut down to few days a week just had 30 days sober and i started back drank for a day and quit for a week im trying but just can't stop im even taking vivatrol now its sapost to help all its done so far is slow my drinking down and make me feel funny like im drinking when I'm not
I think this video would be much more effective without the images of the woman drinking wine in the second clip. Pictures like that will trigger an alcoholic. I know because it would have triggered me to drink, never mind that the video is about not drinking. Images are powerful triggers for alcoholics.
Anybody else out there that doesnt drink if they cant due to work, driving or in my case when I have my daughter (im divorced)? But when i can i tend to. Its stupid but i just find myself sitting down having a beer!?
I don’t drink a lot only at family parties or with friends. When I do drink I hate the feeling of having to reprogram myself all back up. I loose focus on the goals I have for myself. What’s worse is that drinking is the only way I numb myself and can tolerate my husband when he’s drinking. I have no patience for when he drinks. So I drink to be at his level and to make him happy.
In this world- if we had people who cared- a lot of us wouldnt have addiction problems even though we still get a lot done. Yes we could get a lot more done, but at the end of the day we are alone and you come to be sick of not having any fun at all. At the same time the after effects make the temporary fun never worth it- hence the vicious cycle. Never in my life did i think id suddenly not have a social life and it would become permanent. Have you seen the people out there?
I used heroin for ten years stopped heroin by drinking now I'm struggling with drinking ...I have got myself to a point where I'm not really drinking but I think about it dream about I don't want to. The people who made this shit must know what it's doing
I need help and I don't know what to do.. a few hours into to dragging myself to work, I'm shaking and freaking out. I don't have insurance.. I want to stop but I don't want to go to the ER
If it's that bad man try to get some professional help. I know you may not be able to afford it , hell I can't either. I think that's why we drink is because we are tired of the way life has treated us but we must understand that drinking isn't helping it's just making life worse. I drink about 4 shots a day and I'm gonna try to stop. How much do you drink
The withdraws will stop after a few days . Rest as much possible. Taking vitamin C,D,B12, exercising can help to get your brain in balance I used to drink so much ! Reading the Bible being connected to the church and Asking Jesus Christ for help receiving Him as My savior saved my life ! I am praying for you . Be blessed. IT IS WORTH It !!!
@@confusedguy7696 only people who have never been addicted say ignorant things like Farid here. Let's see him drink over a pint a day (of liquor) for a month and see if he can just stop
That's exactly like telling a depressed person to just be happy. Alcoholics drink for many reasons, it's a deep rooted issue that affects each person differently, some even drink it to self harm, telling yourself to not drink is never enough when your mind just decides life isn't worth it anymore.
I never met people or went anywhere growing up. Didn't leave the house till I was 23. I didn't even realize how many humans there were i was super surprised. My dad gave me a beer pretty much everyday after i turned 14. No vacations, no toys growing up, no cable or internet. Just alcohol till i was old enough to figure out i could leave. Now im 29 & im basically starting from Zero. I dont know what humans are im not familiar with all their culture and customs everyone just seems to be very wealthy. Even the poorest Americans seem like really wealthy rich people to me. I dont even understand how to properly buy things. I rarely spend money on anything other than alcohol because it makes me feel confused & guilty. Eventually ill quit but for now i literally have to figure out what the hell the world outside my door is. Its a strange place and no one seems to talk to me unless they want me to buy something.
Its not how to stop drinking, its just don’t drink and you be okay next week trust me just stop and thats all it takes, just because you asking how to stop doesn’t mean you want to stop lol. If you would want to feel okay and healthy and not having any alcohol then just stop saying yes to alcohol and simply don’t drink 🚱 we all as man feel need for relaxation but hey sometimes man work harder and don’t even drink. 2 days is enough to quit my mans
One of the most sinister things about this hell of alcoholism is I always feel like I could actually be sober and happy right as that first drink kicks in. How cruel and ironic is that?
I live alone and I have a hard job my comfort is to drink anything from vodka and coke between 50ml to half a liter on bad days I have tried to but last a couple of days as sad depressed and no one to turn to I did before but got on graided for it I try to not be reliet but after a hard day it helps me sleep and stops my anxiety
That dosnt work, if your an alcoholic you don’t care about your future. Telling an alcoholic to look at there future when they don’t care isn’t doing anything. You should go to AA meetings truly they help, 2 months sober and I wouldn’t be if I just “thought of my future”
You really really should not think about 5 years from now. You should only think about today, right now. AA has helped more people get sober than anything. You need a complete psychic change. Stop hanging with people who trigger you. Change daily habits, and clean up your environment.
The reason I added the skeleton in In my comment this what will happen to people that does not control it , down the line has time goes on they would meet deaf in 5 years or less cause its truely vicious .
And why do alcoholics feel enthusiastic and energetic when he or she is drinking alcohol? Is it failure in their life so to get happier? Is it fear or being tense in their life? Alcohol is harm and HARAM said Allah and prophet Muhammed in their quran when prophet Muhammed was with us in our world. With all do respect and to your fellow audience, alcohol is not a medicine and you are not a doctor.
It’s an addictive drug. Alcohol soothes the nerves and provides a comforting effect for some people. Anxious and fearful people are prone to self-medicating with alcohol because it’s relatively cheap and easy to obtain. Nearly every convenience store in America has alcohol readily available and easy to steal. They don’t see a therapist for their issues because they can’t afford it, they’re too prideful to confide in family members or ask for help. Alcohol is an easy solution for their problems which unfortunately becomes a bigger problem, and they dig their own grave over time, as if taken over by demons. People with low self-esteem and feel like failures don’t see any way out of being failures. They hate the way they look, where they’re from, who they’re related to, that they don’t have this or that, and find comfort in alcohol. They feel braver and more at ease while intoxicated. Even when they get into fights or be a jerk, they wake up the next morning and forget, which makes it easier on their conscience (until they accidentally kill someone while drunk driving or getting into a fight). Even then sometimes it’s not enough because they’re so addicted. American alcohol corporations has brainwashed the population, telling us it’s hard to quit, when it’s not true. They just want us to think it’s hard so people give up. Also, addictive personalities get hooked easier. They don’t want to face themselves. They hate how they feel sober. And often times they’re insufferable people because they don’t work on themselves, don’t have faith. So they just resort to cheap thrills. I’m so glad Islam forbids alcohol. As one or two religions on this planet does it right and cancels that stuff out.
Alcoholism is hell. Stole twelve years of my life.
Agreed, it took pretty much all my childhood away, and split up my parents.
Still taking mine
Yep
How are you doing now ? I hope 30 years of hell
Funny how I used to think I was better now I’ve become. This shit is no joke. I’m so lost.

You should go to an AA meeting and do 90 meetings in 90 days, and do service work, like make the coffee for the meeting and clean up the whole meeting.
Also you MUST get A sponsor.
But this is all if YOU really think that you are an alcoholic and admit that you are one, then after you stop drinking, admit that you are powerless to your addiction, and fully surrender and let God take the wheel.

Thank you❤
What I can I do to help my son?
The lockdowns and dva really got me, I have my kids as a reason to quit but they are also a trigger , I’m trying and trying but I fall once or twice a week
I think i need this guys help. I used to smoke the good stuff felt great. Now i drink. Its ruined me crushed me.
Seek god thats the only way
Two years sober now best thing I’ve done. I’d say find a hobby & work on personal growth. A life of drinking stunts maturity.
Watching this after having a few drinks on Friday night and essentially going on a vicious alcohol binge and spending half my salary
Honestly, I don’t think alcohol’s necessarily the problem; but a symptom of a deeper issue. That issue most likely being pain and sadness/depression. Fear and anxiety as well. I’ve noticed that when I drink alone or with people who I can’t really connect with on a real or deep level, then I become fairly “evil”. But when I’m with people whose company I enjoy, I am usually able to see the good in myself, others, and the world at large. I wish we could all just come together in harmony, respect, and love, but for some reason we can’t. Maybe it’s supposed to be this way. 😕
Ive tried everything I can think of even been to rehab quit 4 years got gallbladder removed and got colitis ive been trying to quit drinking for 7 months i will do good for a while colitis flares up and its been what ive used to kill pain ive cut down to few days a week just had 30 days sober and i started back drank for a day and quit for a week im trying but just can't stop im even taking vivatrol now its sapost to help all its done so far is slow my drinking down and make me feel funny like im drinking when I'm not
Say I don’t know!!!
Hi sorry what do u mean x
I think this video would be much more effective without the images of the woman drinking wine in the second clip. Pictures like that will trigger an alcoholic. I know because it would have triggered me to drink, never mind that the video is about not drinking. Images are powerful triggers for alcoholics.
Limit yourself to drinking 18 year old single malt whisky only. If your income grows, switch to 21 years old, etc.
Anybody else out there that doesnt drink if they cant due to work, driving or in my case when I have my daughter (im divorced)? But when i can i tend to. Its stupid but i just find myself sitting down having a beer!?
HEINEKEN 0.0
it's helping me right now two days strong....I did ginger rail soda caffeine free but that had soo much sugar!
I'm burnt bruh
I don’t drink a lot only at family parties or with friends. When I do drink I hate the feeling of having to reprogram myself all back up. I loose focus on the goals I have for myself. What’s worse is that drinking is the only way I numb myself and can tolerate my husband when he’s drinking. I have no patience for when he drinks.
So I drink to be at his level and to make him happy.
Yep I need the help but it’s on me and it’s crazy hard
2 weeks sober. Alcohol is hellish. DT's don't mess around.
I didn’t know, or maybe I just forgot that alcohol touches opioid receptors. Makes more sense now
What's the point of quitting if alcohol intake keeps you calm and maintains your creative state of mind. Better this way than benzo addiction
Lol that's the kind of logic alcoholics use when they replace booze with weed
still an option@@fauvecorrigan1233
You do not make sense at all
Had no idea alcohol could produce an opiate response! I am one of those alcoholics unfortunately.😢
In this world- if we had people who cared- a lot of us wouldnt have addiction problems even though we still get a lot done. Yes we could get a lot more done, but at the end of the day we are alone and you come to be sick of not having any fun at all. At the same time the after effects make the temporary fun never worth it- hence the vicious cycle. Never in my life did i think id suddenly not have a social life and it would become permanent. Have you seen the people out there?
Wow, thanks a lot for this ❤
I cant drink anymore
The most intelligent thing JP has ever said 😅
I used heroin for ten years stopped heroin by drinking now I'm struggling with drinking ...I have got myself to a point where I'm not really drinking but I think about it dream about I don't want to. The people who made this shit must know what it's doing
Duh! We’ve all thought about that. Still here now aren’t we?
I need help and I don't know what to do.. a few hours into to dragging myself to work, I'm shaking and freaking out. I don't have insurance.. I want to stop but I don't want to go to the ER
You feel better now bro?
Na.. still going at it
If it's that bad man try to get some professional help. I know you may not be able to afford it , hell I can't either. I think that's why we drink is because we are tired of the way life has treated us but we must understand that drinking isn't helping it's just making life worse. I drink about 4 shots a day and I'm gonna try to stop. How much do you drink
The withdraws will stop after a few days . Rest as much possible. Taking vitamin C,D,B12, exercising can help to get your brain in balance
I used to drink so much ! Reading the Bible being connected to the church and Asking Jesus Christ for help receiving Him as My savior saved my life !
I am praying for you . Be blessed.
IT IS WORTH It !!!
@@joannakijowska3420 glad you recovered
Don't start.
I'm 53
Dude just tell me💁🏾♀️
How to stop, just stop, dont do it, dont buy it, just stop.. the secret how to stop is just stop.. dont make it complicated.. just stop..
It's not that easy if you are a big drinker. Stopping suddenly can cause seizures and death. You need to get medical advice.
@@confusedguy7696 only people who have never been addicted say ignorant things like Farid here. Let's see him drink over a pint a day (of liquor) for a month and see if he can just stop
That's exactly like telling a depressed person to just be happy.
Alcoholics drink for many reasons, it's a deep rooted issue that affects each person differently, some even drink it to self harm, telling yourself to not drink is never enough when your mind just decides life isn't worth it anymore.
Prohibition doesn’t work. Willpower is a finite resource.
You can’t “just stop.” You hit rock bottom, then you face the crossroads. Your choice then decides if you’re gonna stop
I never met people or went anywhere growing up. Didn't leave the house till I was 23. I didn't even realize how many humans there were i was super surprised. My dad gave me a beer pretty much everyday after i turned 14. No vacations, no toys growing up, no cable or internet. Just alcohol till i was old enough to figure out i could leave. Now im 29 & im basically starting from Zero. I dont know what humans are im not familiar with all their culture and customs everyone just seems to be very wealthy. Even the poorest Americans seem like really wealthy rich people to me. I dont even understand how to properly buy things. I rarely spend money on anything other than alcohol because it makes me feel confused & guilty. Eventually ill quit but for now i literally have to figure out what the hell the world outside my door is. Its a strange place and no one seems to talk to me unless they want me to buy something.
Says a painkillers addict, that spent 6 months in a hospital that still pops pills
Its not how to stop drinking, its just don’t drink and you be okay next week trust me just stop and thats all it takes, just because you asking how to stop doesn’t mean you want to stop lol. If you would want to feel okay and healthy and not having any alcohol then just stop saying yes to alcohol and simply don’t drink 🚱 we all as man feel need for relaxation but hey sometimes man work harder and don’t even drink. 2 days is enough to quit my mans
@Arkeves well and it means they are drinking everyday then.
One of the most sinister things about this hell of alcoholism is I always feel like I could actually be sober and happy right as that first drink kicks in. How cruel and ironic is that?
yes true
Your drinking is bc it's a waste to study pay 😂
Naahh that won’t work, I’ll pick up a 5th an come up with a bettah plan then that !
I live alone and I have a hard job my comfort is to drink anything from vodka and coke between 50ml to half a liter on bad days I have tried to but last a couple of days as sad depressed and no one to turn to I did before but got on graided for it I try to not be reliet but after a hard day it helps me sleep and stops my anxiety
That dosnt work, if your an alcoholic you don’t care about your future. Telling an alcoholic to look at there future when they don’t care isn’t doing anything. You should go to AA meetings truly they help, 2 months sober and I wouldn’t be if I just “thought of my future”
You really really should not think about 5 years from now. You should only think about today, right now. AA has helped more people get sober than anything. You need a complete psychic change. Stop hanging with people who trigger you. Change daily habits, and clean up your environment.
all you have to do is not get the psyc degree what kindd of job did you thought you would get anyways
Better stop now or u waste ur true potential 😢
Its simple you go to russia and get coma treatment
I honestly hate it ruined my life disaster
I’m 26”
Yeah right 🍆
The reason I added the skeleton in
In my comment this what will happen to people that does not control it , down the line has time goes on they would meet deaf in 5 years or less cause its truely vicious .
You're 26. Go party 🥳
And why do alcoholics feel enthusiastic and energetic when he or she is drinking alcohol? Is it failure in their life so to get happier? Is it fear or being tense in their life? Alcohol is harm and HARAM said Allah and prophet Muhammed in their quran when prophet Muhammed was with us in our world. With all do respect and to your fellow audience, alcohol is not a medicine and you are not a doctor.
It’s an addictive drug. Alcohol soothes the nerves and provides a comforting effect for some people. Anxious and fearful people are prone to self-medicating with alcohol because it’s relatively cheap and easy to obtain. Nearly every convenience store in America has alcohol readily available and easy to steal. They don’t see a therapist for their issues because they can’t afford it, they’re too prideful to confide in family members or ask for help. Alcohol is an easy solution for their problems which unfortunately becomes a bigger problem, and they dig their own grave over time, as if taken over by demons.
People with low self-esteem and feel like failures don’t see any way out of being failures. They hate the way they look, where they’re from, who they’re related to, that they don’t have this or that, and find comfort in alcohol. They feel braver and more at ease while intoxicated. Even when they get into fights or be a jerk, they wake up the next morning and forget, which makes it easier on their conscience (until they accidentally kill someone while drunk driving or getting into a fight). Even then sometimes it’s not enough because they’re so addicted. American alcohol corporations has brainwashed the population, telling us it’s hard to quit, when it’s not true. They just want us to think it’s hard so people give up.
Also, addictive personalities get hooked easier. They don’t want to face themselves. They hate how they feel sober. And often times they’re insufferable people because they don’t work on themselves, don’t have faith. So they just resort to cheap thrills.
I’m so glad Islam forbids alcohol. As one or two religions on this planet does it right and cancels that stuff out.
@codecornman7348 great comment 👍 ❤
Addiction is just a weak kind lmao. I was spending like $400+ a week on Whiskeys and just… stopped. Can’t stop? Weak.
Ah shit that’s what I’m like when I drink and I drink a lot and I’m 34. Time to look in the mirror
