It took me 2 years to finally get off the poison. It took multiple relapses, six detoxes, rehab, and many different medications, but I've now been sober for six months, and am so grateful. Your videos are really helpful because they make people realize that they aren't alone in their journey.
I can totally relate to that struggle my friend, also dude congratulations on 6 months!! That is absolutely huge!! 🙌🏻 keep kicking this things a%% brother. Seeing comments like yours saying that my videos help remind me exactly of why I started this channel. Y’all are helping me just as much trust me. Keep going strong my friend!!! Keep me updated 🙏
Relapsing is a normal situation on the ultimate road to sobriety. Not to be ashamed. Learn each time. Just be careful because the longer a person is sober the bodies tolerance goes way down quickly. But in our minds, it's still herculean feats of strength with the booze if we start back up. Seriously it can be fatal. Sobriety isn't a hobby folks. Take it seriously.
Thanks for sharing this video!! I am 2 months sober from alcohol as of tomorrow and your videos have been helping me a lot and I had some similar struggles as well and am taking it one day at a time. Keep up the good work bro
Your doing a good job Slayer I’m proud of you taking these giant steps on becoming the best you ever now you are a wise young man helping all of us , Thank you very much sir
The thanks goes all to you guys my friend, y’all really do help me just as much. A lot of the wisdom and knowledge I get is from you guys. God bless man 🙏
I just got out of detox in Houston. Im bsck in school now. I'm in a good place now. But I know I have to keep my guard up because I know a relapse is as easy as blinking. The lord has blessed me for now for removing the temptation. I completely relate with everything you said here in this video. I remember relapsing so much and wanting to stick a gun in my mouth and ending it. Stay in the fight and dont go 6ft under until God decides it's your time. Glod Bless man you got this brother 👊
Welcome back brother, salute to you for sticking it out and staying!! Like you said my friend keep your guard up, in a lot of senses the true test starts now. Let’s both keep going strong 💪💪 we’ve BOTH got this. One day at a time. Much love man, keep me updated!!
Hey Shotinthedark! Congratulations on your sobriety!! 🎉🎊 You should be proud of yourself for what you've done for yourself! Definitely reach out if you ever feel alone in that again! Wishing you only the best and sending big love from NY!! 🙏❤️
While I was never a alcoholic but I was a drug addict and I remember waking up from a week long coma after probably a decade of abuse and I said to myself that I surrender to god and I’m finally willing to listen to whatever advice doctors would give me.
I’m glad you are using this platform to help others. That’s very selfless, kind and inspiring. This needs to be discussed. So many are struggling. I’m glad you didn’t end your life. God has other plans for you Slayer. Blessings to you sweetie. Mona 🤘🏻🤗💚
Thank you so much Mona, as always your comments are so kind and come from the heart. It’s awesome of you to say that because that’s the exact reason I started this channel. I just wanted to help others with this disease. I felt like all the bad things I did while drinking, all the regret if I could just help a few people out then in a way I’m giving back. Now that’s my mission, helping others stay sober and with that comes helping me stay sober. I’ve said it before but y’all really do help me so much. Much love 🙏🖤
I really appreciate you telling this story, man. I regularly self harm but sometimes i would think about going as deep as possible to "get it over with." Sometimes I would and the bleeding was way too much, "I really did it this time, huh?" I'm here so I obviously survived but I realized where my need to drink TRULY comes from. It comes from the fact that I've always hated myself so of course I'll drink, do drugs, cut, etc. Being sober is easy compared to finally being able to love myself. But until I finally do, i know my sobriety will always be on the rocks. Thanks for sharing this story. This one really hit close to home once you got to the part with the knife, as morbid as that sounds.
Powerful comment right here my friend, prayers and love go out to you. You are not alone in that thinking, I’m glad that this video could maybe give you a little peace of mind about those things. I understand how low this addiction takes us. You’ve been here for months and i appreciate that brother, we really are on this journey together. Keep up the good work, much love 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 Peace to you too man! ❤ Recently, I've been reconnecting with my Mexican Catholic roots and *"The Lord's Prayer"* in your video, really inspired me to read the Book more. Love to everyone though, whether they be Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, atheist, etc. I just hope they join us on this journey to get sober and live their lives to the fullest! Without booze, drugs, or ANY addictions, we are TRULY capable of living out best lives!!
Hey Afterhours, I'm so sorry for all that you've been through. I'm so glad you are now able to love yourself! I really appreciate all the positive and kind things you said in both of your comments!! We are all brothers and sisters, and I wish the best for you just as much as you wish the best for any of us. Thank you for being a part of the journey!! ❤🙏
Day 40 sober for me. I’m 26 yrs old and after drinking almost daily since 14 this is the longest stretch for me. After hitting rock bottom so many times I feel as if I don’t have any more relapses In me . weird thing is after drinking more HEAVY 12+ drinks a day some days for the past few years I did not have ANY withdrawals. Thank god. Love the vids man I’m ridin wit u. Rip dirk
40 days is fkin incredible brother!! Congratulations!!! If no one else as said it let me, I know how huge that is. I can definitely relate to your story being around your age, im glad you’re going the sober path my friend that’s so awesome. Pretty crazy you never had withdrawal but I do hear of the rare stories of heavy drinkers who really never suffered from withdrawal or detox which is good! I’m riding with you as well my friend, we are in this together 🙏 rip Dirk.
I relapsed 2 days ago and your videos are keeping me focused on something positive thankyou so much for your existence. It gets worse and worse that's a fact, body eating spirits 😭 thankyou fpr your content Slayer, I get a sense of joy when I see a new upload from you. Peace
Luke, man you really are the reason I make these videos. Seeing comments like these remind me exactly why I started this UA-cam channel. Thank you man, I really mean that. You’ve got this man!!! I believe in you!!! We aren’t alone. Peace to you as well my friend. ✌🏻💪
Thankyou Slayer im still in active addiction and it's just pure pain and terror , I wish this cruel world helps you some how because it feels like we're currently in hell , pease out Mr Slayer
@Slayer-7373 Slayer's prayer 🙏...the Lords prayer ...offers hope to all that suffer cruelty in this messed up world! God's name is a "strong tower" and the Kingdom will come and bring peace ,and "Slay the dragon " PEACE!!!
Hey thank you my friend!!! You are here and alive, that means there is another opportunity. Start tomorrow any day is a good day to get sober, just don’t quit quitting!!!! Much love!
@@Slayer-7373 you’re welcome man! I just came across your channel yesterday and I really loved your content, it’s very inspiring man! Keep up your content I’ll definitely keep watching! One day at a time brother! ✊
You had me worried with the title, but I get why you titled it in order to help people who feel that way. Never quit quitting. You hear stories about people who have hit rock bottom, been to rehabs 30+ times and on the 31st time it clicks and they get sober for life. Every single time you dust yourself off and try again might be THE time you get sober.
Exactly josh!!! Don’t quit quitting, never! It’s like you said brother it might just be the time you get sober and put that demon behind you for good. Much love man 🙏
I'm here with you buddy, I got fired from my job cause I went on a bender for a couple days. I cant imagine a life where not drinking is possible, especially being around people who constantly shit on me for doing it, and do the same if I don't. I just know I have absolutely no other choice because I have a house, truck, and other shit to pay for, and I need to get my shit together to keep my shit together.
I completely understand brother and can totally relate. Your mind is in the right spot, you are thinking about it more and more. That’s really where it starts. Keep me updated brother 🙏
True. This moment, this now is all we have. There once was a sign hanging up on the wall in a bar that read "Free beer tomorrow." But there was no free beer because tomorrow never comes. It is always the now. Our minds may wander to past memories or future plans or ideas but it is always right now.
Absolutely datone, we must focus on the now and what we have power over. Take it moment by moment. I appreciated your instagram comments as well brother!! I’m glad to see you have a great taste in humor my friend. Salute 🙏💯
What’s up hunter 🤙!! This is awesome man thank you 🙏 , also congratulations on 2.5 years bro that’s pretty amazing. Y’all inspire me to stay sober. God bless 💯
You can do this slayer! You are a strong tower. You are the head and not the tail. You have the mind of Christ. You are a winner and more than a conquerer!
It’s one of my favorite prayers, also I would be honored myself to do that Robert!!! That’s awesome of you to say that and if I’m ever in Wisconsin I will 100% get up there and read it out loud amen. God bless you my friend 🙏
I was drinking heavily most nights for the past 15 years ( and moderately for another 8 years prior to that). I'm 42 years old now though and quitting drinking has been very easy, as to be honest I'm completely bored of alcohol. I began the daily evening drinking for the enjoyable feeling and release from everyday stresses, but towards the end I was just drinking purely out of habit, and not gaining a single element of enjoyment from it. In fact, with that duration of drinking, coupled with my age, it just drained me of energy and motivation for life each day and made any problems seem 10x worse than they were. So it was easy for me to quit and not crave it, I mean why would crave something I had effectively made feel utterly boring. But, you are a young man, and I can see why you find it really hard to abstain from alcohol. There is no way at your age I could have just said 'I'm not drinking ever again' and meant it, that is unless I had some sort of allergy to alcohol itself. If you do manage to kick the booze at your age, then I will envy that, because I wish I could turn back the years and do exactly that.
Congratulations on kicking booze out of your life, that’s absolutely awesome. Also yes that is definitely something that eats at me and has led me back into relapses is my mind telling me “oh you’re young still you can do it” when I know where it would lead to and that’s nowhere good at all. I really hope I can kick it being somewhat young still. You’ve got to want it, you’ve really got to want it or it will never work. Thanks so much for this comment and god bless 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 That's exactly right, you have to want it. I personally feel that you have to either despise it or be very scared of it (whichever comes first), such like long-term tobacco smokers that suddenly quit when they get a health scare form a visit to the docs. In my case, I came to despise the booze. Assuming entirely, but it's unlikely that at your age you will have irreversible liver damage from the alcohol, especially with your recent break-offs from drinking, giving your liver time to repair. You're in a position to either gradually learn to moderate alcohol consumption (i.e. drink sensibly) in which case you would not need to quit drinking (I've seen many of my friends do that, where they were all-out boozers for some years but now they can just go to the pub on a weekend and have one or two pints then call it a day). Or if moderation is just not possible (such as is the case with myself), then quit completely and you'll escape any permanent damage. That's a good position to be in, so make sure you harness it my man 💪
@@well0so0they0say beautiful advice and wisdom right here brother thank you 🙏, y’all teach me so much. You guys have really guided me in the right direction and when I say you guys I mean the subscribers who are sober who have “been there done that”. I appreciate these comments so much!!! Y’all are saving my life!! 🙏💯 I will keep everything you said in mind.
Hey sober bro. Glad to see you’re back. Remember, it’s called “recovery” because we’re never truly “cured”. It’s a daily adventure to live our best life. Things happen but getting back on the path is always the hardest but best way.
Never really thought of the recovery word like that but yea you’re 100% spot on brother. It is a daily adventure/battle that we go through. It is the hardest way but once you can get through the other side you start to se the light again. I always enjoy seeing your comments my friend, thank you. 🙏
Found this newest video...missed you in my feed!! Worried, wondered what happened!! I know you've been busy working nights . Keep inspiring ppl...like me!!😂 r💪 🙏
88 days is amazing man!! Congratulations, if no one has already said it let me say it. I know how much of an accomplishment that is, keep up the good work. Like you said even if these videos can help just 1 person, my mission is complete. Much love man and keep on the path you’re on!!!
Its fucking hell on earth dude! Constant ups and downs. Your inner dialouge is so much louder. Its like a perpetual motion wave machine. Im here for you guys. The worst place you can be is alone with your own thoughts. In here if you need me. Give a shout out. Life is so hard. Im so fucking tired.
You put this really well, 100% accurate. I’m here as well brother, this channel has a beautiful community of people just trying to help one another on this crazy journey. 🙏
🖤🙏 hey Melissa first off I’m so sorry you’re going through this, you aren’t alone I know what you’re feeling. Second that is the absolute best thing you could possibly do for yourself!!! That is huge!!!! Take that first step, go get yourself well and bounce back stronger than ever. Tons of love and prayers sent your way!!!! Keep me updated please!!! 🙏
I can relate to you for sure....I too looked up to Dirk....I have spoken to him by email and over the phone a couple times....I talked to him by phone a month before he died and he told me if I didn't quit drinking I wouldn't be around in 3 months and then he died a month later....I have to stop I just feel lost....I need support and love.... please pray for me ❤
That’s so sad, please don’t give up!!! Keep going for Dirk and for yourself because you are worth it!!! You have a community here on this channel. We are all here for one another, much love!! Keep me updated!
Good morning slayer, what a great way to start the day with hearing such a strong and inspiring message from you. We all have baggage but drinking will not change that. We need to forgive, not for those who have hurt us, but for us. As for dirk, it saddened me to hear that he passed. I hope it wasn’t related to this disease but chances are it was even if he never touched the ☠️ again there are possible secondary effects of drinking heavily for many years. Actually nowadays the message is even a little can affect our health. It’s baffling how something that kills so many is glamorized. I wish the industry would treat it the same way as cigarettes. There’s no need to have commercials and billboards. I know it’s up to us but it makes it that much harder. Thank you for supporting this community. Let’s kick this thing in the face. We can do this!!!
Hey micru!!! Thanks so much as always 🙏🖤. Also yes it’s absolutely insane how the deadliest drug on earth is glamorized and normalized, but the alcohol industry is a lot of 💰. They don’t want to lose out on that, they rather make their money and watch us 💀 sad enough to say. I’m with you tho micru let’s kick this things a%#!! We are worth it!!!!
we love ❤️ you bro . we need you. o struggle with my girl as she is drinking herself to death . now she is talking to a meth addict that she met at rehab. he is 35 she is 48 . i’m 60 so i can’t be part of this dysfunctional stuff anymore.
Much love brother, i appreciate your comments man I really do. Also I’m very sorry to hear that my friend, I’m not telling you to do this but sometimes we need to step away from certain people and things for our own sake. As an addict I know there is only but so much people can do for us, we need to want it. Maybe if you stepped away it would wake her up and realize what she will lose if she keeps down that path. Prayers go out to you both man, please keep me updated!!! 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 it’s looking this way as she always throws a guy into the mix . 2 and half years listening to the rants for hours while she is drunk . it’s be overwhelming and heartbreaking to say the least . but i may have to cut ties . i was going to fly her to the boat but while she still drinking this is not a good idea.she spends what $ she has on booze and cigarettes. i will yet the meth addict take over
@@Slayer-7373 thankyou for your gracious help . i know you are busy responding to lots of messages. your channel helps me process stuff . if you could please do a video on loving a alcoholic and the behaviours that one will encounter. maybe from a make prospective.
I picked up the bottle when my boyfriend left me. Never used to drink, but I took to booze very strategically. I knew it would numb me. I still can’t get over it after more than a year. It hurts so freaking bad. I’m dying from a broken heart, I really am. And booze will totally make it happen. No hope for me.
@@josephinenapoleana738 there is always hope. You can make the choice today to save your life. My ex ran away with my brother, trust me I know the pain of an ex more than most. It’s almost killed me but I’m not letting that take me out. You can’t let your ex take you out!! You’re worth more than that!!! Reach out and get the help you deserve. If you are laying in a hospital bed with 3 months to live you will 100% regret your decisions and your view, trust me!!!! It all gets real when the doctors tell you if you continue to drink you really will die!!! God bless you Josephine, you have a friend in me and this channel. You aren’t alone, feel free to message me any time. 🙏🙏 good luck and be safe, keep us updated!
Ya know what really works too is the serenity prayer. Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths. In through the nose and out through the mouth. God Grant me serinity to accept the things I can not change. The courage to change the things that I can. And the wisdom to know the difference. Thank you for replying to my comments btw. It means a lot :). Thank you.
I say this prayer often, it’s beautiful and really does help. Also the thanks goes to you!! I feel like I owe it to y’all to reply and I really enjoy talking to you guys. Much love!! 🙏
Whats up Slayer! Whats up everybody! Thank you for this video. Im on day 28 off off weed. Im on this journey too. Fuck this video is so powerful! Thank you. Love you everybody! Thank you!
What’s up man?! That’s absolutely incredible!!!!! If no one else has said it congratulations bro that’s huge. Thanks for the awesome words my friend!! Much love 💯
@@Slayer-7373 oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this 😓 I hope it's ok to ask here, was he on morphine for pain while in the hospital or anything? I have no doubt that his work on UA-cam has helped countless lives!! 👥💞
@@stepha3003 that I could not tell you, I never knew Dirk personally. Just from the article that I read that’s what it said. I talked to him a few times in the UA-cam comments but it wasn’t long after that, that he passed. 🙏
You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with , nothing to with all your strength!!!! ... Don't worry I'm gonna tell you where they are ...both of them , and that's the point , youl have to choose
Slayer, this video made me cry for so many reasons. Because of the sadness behind it, because of the hope behind it and the powerful message of love behind it. I'm so glad you didn't hurt yourself. It's sad enough to lose people for reasons outside of what you were describing, but so sad to think of you feeling that level of despair. I watched all my siblings grapple with those same feelings for different reasons, so I know what it looks like. You obviously made the right choice. But I'll tell you what i told them, that when moments like that arise, reach out to someone and just hear what they have to say. Or let them just sit with you in your hurt until it passes. I hope anyone here who may sit with feelings like that will reach out. I hate the idea of anyone not getting the opportunity to experience the good that may be sitting right around the corner waiting for them. That's also what compels this community to support each other. Because we want everyone here to live. I love everyone in this community and I truly hope we all get to enjoy our lives fully and for as many years as we can ❤ thank you, friend for your care, your compassion, your love and your prayers! We're all in this together! ❤️ let's keep enjoying this walk
Hey friend, this comment made me cry too. You’re such a kind person and give the best advice. Thank you for regenerating my belief in humanity. There’s so much hate in this world that I understand why some could feel so lost at times. I can’t watch the news…the loss of hope, respect, and empathy it’s too much. Thank you for being a kind person.
@@Micru866 I could and will say the same to you, Mic (about regenerating faith in humanity)! I get it! That's why communities like this are so great, because we're in a weird spot in this day and age. There are plenty of people who have a hard time looking outside of themselves. But I know a lot of people that are just like all of us. I agree. Turn off the news. It's mainly garbage anyways. I'm really glad I met you all in here. I look forward to talking and sharing with you guys. It's refreshing! I hope you're having a great week so far 😊❤
I really couldn’t have said it any better than micru, thank you for letting me see that there still are good people out there. Both of you are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met!!!! It opens your eyes to see that the world isn’t just bad and evil, there are plenty of great beautiful souls out there. Much love Amanda thank you!!! We are 100% in this together!!! 💪💯🙏
I've been trying to think of interview questions! So. 1: did your family ever try to confront your drinking? How did you react, and how did that make you feel? 2: did all of your friends drink? Did you have any friends that didn't really, or any friends confront your drinking? If so, how did you respond and how did it make you feel? 3: what was your first hobby that you used to distract yourself when getting sober? What are some of your hobbies in general?? 4: what were some of the first changes you noticed when your sobriety started to stick? Healthwise, energywise and/ or mental / emotional? That's all I've got for now!! I'll keep wracking my brain, but i also need to think of some interview questions for LD's wife hahaaa
I appreciate that man, you guys really are my homies and I mean that. Also that’s actually a really good idea!! I should make a discord for us to all chat on that would be dope. Much love brother, thanks for this comment!! 💪
Imagine being clean off several different things and completely sober then relapse on alcohol.... Kinda seems like the best option. I've been fighting it my whole life basically since I was 15 I'm 32.
you scared me 😭 but I understand why. In way the title still makes sense, we cant stop drinking so we quit trying to make drinking “work” in our lives. Did you ever try to put rules on your drinking? hahah only on weekends or only this type of liquor. 😂 yeah right. Anyway, Im glad you’re feeling this passion you have a wonderful way with words and I’m sure this video is going to help a lot of people.
I’m sorry y’all!! 🤣 I didn’t mean to scare you guys. Also absolutely lol, pretty much any rule you can think of I tried to set it for my drinking. You know I’ll only drink beer, I’ll only drink on the weekends, I’ll only drink one day a week, I’ll only drink when so and so is here, Ill only drink if it’s a holiday lol. Of course I never followed these rules smh. Thanks for the kind words as well, I hope so that’s my mission in all of this. Hope all is well sage!! Much love. 🙏🖤
You should be a friend to yourself at first,if you're an addict,especially to alcohol.And learn from your mistakes and such channels No need to aim at the top instantly,just start thinking and learning
Wow Slayer ! I didn’t know that you were that bad? I did see your videos with LD . I guess you didn’t talk that much about how sick you were?? Thanks so much for sharing your experience! And your videos! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🙏🙏❤️🩹❤️🩹
Hey 👋 thanks Jackie, unfortunately sad enough to say I was that bad at one time. Some things are hard to talk about I’m sure you know how that goes, but I know these stories will help someone and that’s what this is all about. I just want to give back a little for all the chaos and destruction I caused while drinking. If I can just help save one persons life my mission is accomplished. Much love and thanks for all the sweet comments 🙏🖤
Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out But that is click bate. 😊❤ Then again it will get attention. I was just very very worried about you immediately. Please don’t scare me too badly!😊❤
Hey I’m super sorry about that!!! 🙏🖤, I won’t do that again. Like you said it’s to get the attention of someone out there really struggling. Much love.
Hey brother 👋 I’m doing alright thank you. The only reason I’ve kept my job is because I’m real close with the bosses, if it wasn’t for that I would have been fired by now sadly. I plan to sit down and film a video tonight actually!!! I’ve just been crazy busy!!! It upsets me that I haven’t been uploading more, much love my friend!
My father waaaas a drinker and a friend. And one night he goes off crazierr than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen k kfe to defend herself, he doesn't like that NOT ONE BIt... Soooo me watching he takes the knife to her , laughing while he does it. He turns to me and he said WHY SO SERIOUS. Sticks the blade in my mouth LETS OUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE . rip delirium Dirk

I’d pray brother, I’d really start to pray. Realize you are still here and alive so that means you still have a chance at turning this around. Take yourself to the hospital brother or take yourself to a detox, get yourself out of that hellish cycle. Once you come out of the darkness you will start to see the light and you will be so thankful you did. Keep your head up man, much love and prayers to you 🙏
Interesting that you ask this because I’ve been debating this in my head for about a week. I don’t know how I feel about identifying as an alcoholic. I might change my intros up I’m not sure. I think to some degree calling ourselves alcoholics perpetuates that mindset but idk good question my friend. Also thanks brother, i appreciate that. 🙏💯
You need Jesus Christ!!! You need the gospel and you need to be born again of the Spirit of God Almighty!!! Because the enemy has power and alcohol is a spirit!!! It's demonic!!! I pray that you will seek God Almighty!!!
What has helped me: *Listening to Craig Beck (The Stop Drinking Expert on youtube) and also listening to Annie Grace and William Porter (both also on youtube). These folks got my thinking straight about alcohol. They solved my alcohol problem when AA couldn't. *Cannabis and kratom (keep the kratom dose low and never mix with alcohol). You need to never drink alcohol again. Period. No matter what that takes. Before you try that first drink try the following (assuming you don't harm others): *Cognitive Behavioral Therapy *Antidepressants *Exercise *Avoid exercise *Meditation *Porn/Masturbation *No fap *Video games *Cannabis *Kratom *Magic Mushrooms *Abstaining from ALL drugs *Screaming out loud *Shitting on the living room floor for kicks *Cleaning your house *Destroying your house *Eating Healthy *Eating a gallon of ice cream *Join a cult like AA *Quit AA *Go to a Pentecostal church and speak in tongues *Join the Satanic Temple *Become a Buddhist Monk--join a monastery *Become a die hard atheist *Get your chakras cleansed *Go for a walk/run/hike *Journal *Quit your job *Deflate your ego *Build up your ego *Join Scientology *Cross-dress for fun *Join the circus *Adopt an extreme diet *Adopt a healthy balanced diet *Sleep all day long *Don't sleep at all Basically what I am saying is that (almost) any idea (no matter how wacky) is better than taking that first drink. Obviously don't harm others or yourself and your choices still have consequences, but you see what I am saying. You are dealing with hospital-level alcohol problem here--damn near anything is better than taking that first drink. Stay away from the hard, really bad drugs like alcohol, cocaine, meth, heroin, fent, etc. I have no problem with someone trading a life-threatening vice for a vice that won't kill you any time soon as a temporary measure (or even as a permanent measure if you find you just can't do better no matter what you try). *Claim "Teetotalism" and that you are a "teetotaler" rather than "sober" if you abstain from alcohol but not other drugs. If you claim sober and do other stuff, people will give you shit for that.
Very interesting comment, a different view on addiction. I agree with a lot of this actually, it’s the number one destroyer in my life. It’s the number one thing I need out of my life so maybe temporarily or like you said possibly permanently as long as it’s not causing you are others a lot of harm might be necessary to SAVE YOUR OWN LIFE. I’m battling on the daily to stay away from that demon alcohol, but I know in my heart it’s the best thing I can do. It’s what I need to do to save my life. Thank you for this comment and different point of view, I really appreciate it.
@@Slayer-7373 And most definitely do listen to Craig Beck, William Porter and Annie Grace on youtube. I cannot emphasize that enough...especially Craig Beck www.youtube.com/@Stopdrinkingexpert. Get Craig Beck's info drilled into your head. You are still referring to alcohol as a temptation--it's not a temptation--you just perceive it to be because of your mindset (which can be fixed, Craig Beck "red-pills" us so-to-speak about this whole alcohol thing).
It took me 2 years to finally get off the poison. It took multiple relapses, six detoxes, rehab, and many different medications, but I've now been sober for six months, and am so grateful. Your videos are really helpful because they make people realize that they aren't alone in their journey.
I can totally relate to that struggle my friend, also dude congratulations on 6 months!! That is absolutely huge!! 🙌🏻 keep kicking this things a%% brother. Seeing comments like yours saying that my videos help remind me exactly of why I started this channel. Y’all are helping me just as much trust me. Keep going strong my friend!!! Keep me updated 🙏
Congratulations to you!❤ That’s Awesome!!!

Thanks for sharing this video!! I am 2 months sober from alcohol as of tomorrow and your videos have been helping me a lot and I had some similar struggles as well and am taking it one day at a time. Keep up the good work bro

Amazing job with 2 months of sobriety, pokemonmaster!! 🎊🎉🎊 You should be so proud of yourself!!! Keep it up, friend. You've got this!! 😁
Thank you for your kind words!!@@amandaflaherty7528
Very powerful. I hope this gets to somebody who needs to hear it.
Thank you grace 🙏🖤, I hope so too I really do.
Your doing a good job Slayer I’m proud of you taking these giant steps on becoming the best you ever now you are a wise young man helping all of us , Thank you very much sir
The thanks goes all to you guys my friend, y’all really do help me just as much. A lot of the wisdom and knowledge I get is from you guys. God bless man 🙏
I just got out of detox in Houston. Im bsck in school now. I'm in a good place now. But I know I have to keep my guard up because I know a relapse is as easy as blinking. The lord has blessed me for now for removing the temptation. I completely relate with everything you said here in this video. I remember relapsing so much and wanting to stick a gun in my mouth and ending it. Stay in the fight and dont go 6ft under until God decides it's your time. Glod Bless man you got this brother 👊
Welcome back brother, salute to you for sticking it out and staying!! Like you said my friend keep your guard up, in a lot of senses the true test starts now. Let’s both keep going strong 💪💪 we’ve BOTH got this. One day at a time. Much love man, keep me updated!!
I’m in H town… if you ever need to talk I’m here. Prayers and best wishes for you. 🫶🏻♥️
Been here… done that at one of the best places
Hey Shotinthedark! Congratulations on your sobriety!! 🎉🎊 You should be proud of yourself for what you've done for yourself! Definitely reach out if you ever feel alone in that again! Wishing you only the best and sending big love from NY!! 🙏❤️
@@amandaflaherty7528 thanks for being so supportive Amanda!! 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 I should say the same to you, Slayer! Now it's time to turn in haha have a good night
While I was never a alcoholic but I was a drug addict and I remember waking up from a week long coma after probably a decade of abuse and I said to myself that I surrender to god and I’m finally willing to listen to whatever advice doctors would give me.
I’m glad you had that awakening my friend, that’s what we all need. 🙏🙏
Thank you for posting this… I am also struggling to stop the poison for good 11 days in a row trying for a good stretch this time!!
Keep going please!! Stay strong 🙏 thank you for this comment and for sharing what you’re going through, that’s what this is all about. Much love.
I’m glad you are using this platform to help others. That’s very selfless, kind and inspiring. This needs to be discussed. So many are struggling. I’m glad you didn’t end your life. God has other plans for you Slayer. Blessings to you sweetie. Mona 🤘🏻🤗💚
Thank you so much Mona, as always your comments are so kind and come from the heart. It’s awesome of you to say that because that’s the exact reason I started this channel. I just wanted to help others with this disease. I felt like all the bad things I did while drinking, all the regret if I could just help a few people out then in a way I’m giving back. Now that’s my mission, helping others stay sober and with that comes helping me stay sober. I’ve said it before but y’all really do help me so much. Much love 🙏🖤
I really appreciate you telling this story, man. I regularly self harm but sometimes i would think about going as deep as possible to "get it over with." Sometimes I would and the bleeding was way too much, "I really did it this time, huh?" I'm here so I obviously survived but I realized where my need to drink TRULY comes from. It comes from the fact that I've always hated myself so of course I'll drink, do drugs, cut, etc. Being sober is easy compared to finally being able to love myself. But until I finally do, i know my sobriety will always be on the rocks. Thanks for sharing this story. This one really hit close to home once you got to the part with the knife, as morbid as that sounds.
Powerful comment right here my friend, prayers and love go out to you. You are not alone in that thinking, I’m glad that this video could maybe give you a little peace of mind about those things. I understand how low this addiction takes us. You’ve been here for months and i appreciate that brother, we really are on this journey together. Keep up the good work, much love 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 Peace to you too man! ❤ Recently, I've been reconnecting with my Mexican Catholic roots and *"The Lord's Prayer"* in your video, really inspired me to read the Book more. Love to everyone though, whether they be Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, atheist, etc. I just hope they join us on this journey to get sober and live their lives to the fullest! Without booze, drugs, or ANY addictions, we are TRULY capable of living out best lives!!
@@afterhourscinema782 this is a beautiful comment man, I’m super happy to hear this. 🙏
Hey Afterhours, I'm so sorry for all that you've been through. I'm so glad you are now able to love yourself! I really appreciate all the positive and kind things you said in both of your comments!! We are all brothers and sisters, and I wish the best for you just as much as you wish the best for any of us. Thank you for being a part of the journey!! ❤🙏
Absolutely man !! We are behind you, Slayer, Amanda, all of us !!
Day 40 sober for me. I’m 26 yrs old and after drinking almost daily since 14 this is the longest stretch for me. After hitting rock bottom so many times I feel as if I don’t have any more relapses In me . weird thing is after drinking more HEAVY 12+ drinks a day some days for the past few years I did not have ANY withdrawals. Thank god. Love the vids man I’m ridin wit u. Rip dirk
40 days is fkin incredible brother!! Congratulations!!! If no one else as said it let me, I know how huge that is. I can definitely relate to your story being around your age, im glad you’re going the sober path my friend that’s so awesome. Pretty crazy you never had withdrawal but I do hear of the rare stories of heavy drinkers who really never suffered from withdrawal or detox which is good! I’m riding with you as well my friend, we are in this together 🙏 rip Dirk.
Amazing job, Brent!! 🎉🎊🎉 40 days is fantastic!!
I'm not sure 12 drinks per day would cause withdrawal. People are usually drinking at least double that, often times triple.
I relapsed 2 days ago and your videos are keeping me focused on something positive thankyou so much for your existence. It gets worse and worse that's a fact, body eating spirits 😭 thankyou fpr your content Slayer, I get a sense of joy when I see a new upload from you. Peace
Luke, man you really are the reason I make these videos. Seeing comments like these remind me exactly why I started this UA-cam channel. Thank you man, I really mean that. You’ve got this man!!! I believe in you!!! We aren’t alone. Peace to you as well my friend. ✌🏻💪
Thankyou Slayer im still in active addiction and it's just pure pain and terror , I wish this cruel world helps you some how because it feels like we're currently in hell , pease out Mr Slayer
@Slayer-7373 Slayer's prayer 🙏...the Lords prayer ...offers hope to all that suffer cruelty in this messed up world! God's name is a "strong tower" and the Kingdom will come and bring peace ,and "Slay the dragon " PEACE!!!

The thanks goes all to you my friend!! Y’all help me just as much. Much love 💯✌🏻
Thank you for the encouragement man! I’m trying to get sober 0 days so far but I’ll just keep on trying!
Hey thank you my friend!!! You are here and alive, that means there is another opportunity. Start tomorrow any day is a good day to get sober, just don’t quit quitting!!!! Much love!
@@Slayer-7373 you’re welcome man! I just came across your channel yesterday and I really loved your content, it’s very inspiring man! Keep up your content I’ll definitely keep watching! One day at a time brother! ✊

🙏thank you so much my friend.
Celebrate living, guys. 🎉 Every day counts.
Absolutely brother!!! 💯🙌🏻
Amen!! 🙏❤️
Amen to that!
It’s one day at a time, that’s all. Take care of today because it’s literally all you can control in the current moment.
Thank you for taking us on the journey! You are helping so many of us!❤❤❤
🖤🙏thank you Angela.
Thank you for the video we need more like this
Thank you!!! 🙏 I will make more like this brother. One day at a time.
I definitely needed to hear this 🙏
🙏🖤, you are the reason I make these videos my friend. God bless.
Inspirational af.
Thanks man, that’s awesome of you to say. Much love brother 🙌🏻💯
You had me worried with the title, but I get why you titled it in order to help people who feel that way. Never quit quitting. You hear stories about people who have hit rock bottom, been to rehabs 30+ times and on the 31st time it clicks and they get sober for life. Every single time you dust yourself off and try again might be THE time you get sober.
Exactly josh!!! Don’t quit quitting, never! It’s like you said brother it might just be the time you get sober and put that demon behind you for good. Much love man 🙏
Very powerful inspiring video! ❤
Thanks Jennifer 🙏🖤, awesome of you to say that.
I'm here with you buddy, I got fired from my job cause I went on a bender for a couple days. I cant imagine a life where not drinking is possible, especially being around people who constantly shit on me for doing it, and do the same if I don't. I just know I have absolutely no other choice because I have a house, truck, and other shit to pay for, and I need to get my shit together to keep my shit together.
I completely understand brother and can totally relate. Your mind is in the right spot, you are thinking about it more and more. That’s really where it starts. Keep me updated brother 🙏
True. This moment, this now is all we have. There once was a sign hanging up on the wall in a bar that read "Free beer tomorrow." But there was no free beer because tomorrow never comes. It is always the now. Our minds may wander to past memories or future plans or ideas but it is always right now.
Stay on @Slayer s " journey " ...as he says "you WON'T regret it!!"
Absolutely datone, we must focus on the now and what we have power over. Take it moment by moment. I appreciated your instagram comments as well brother!! I’m glad to see you have a great taste in humor my friend. Salute 🙏💯
@@Slayer-7373 Thanks man! Amen
hey slayer. im 26 and am 2.5 years sober now but god damn i relate to your entire story 🙏🏻 binged all your videos! keep it up man
What’s up hunter 🤙!! This is awesome man thank you 🙏 , also congratulations on 2.5 years bro that’s pretty amazing. Y’all inspire me to stay sober. God bless 💯
You can do this slayer! You are a strong tower. You are the head and not the tail. You have the mind of Christ. You are a winner and more than a conquerer!
Your comments always make me smile and always lift me up…. Thank you so much. God bless you my friend 🙏🖤.
Well said!
The Lords Prayer, how beautiful. If you're ever in Wisconsin, I pastor a small rural church. I'd be honored to let you read it aloud.
It’s one of my favorite prayers, also I would be honored myself to do that Robert!!! That’s awesome of you to say that and if I’m ever in Wisconsin I will 100% get up there and read it out loud amen. God bless you my friend 🙏
I was drinking heavily most nights for the past 15 years ( and moderately for another 8 years prior to that). I'm 42 years old now though and quitting drinking has been very easy, as to be honest I'm completely bored of alcohol. I began the daily evening drinking for the enjoyable feeling and release from everyday stresses, but towards the end I was just drinking purely out of habit, and not gaining a single element of enjoyment from it. In fact, with that duration of drinking, coupled with my age, it just drained me of energy and motivation for life each day and made any problems seem 10x worse than they were. So it was easy for me to quit and not crave it, I mean why would crave something I had effectively made feel utterly boring.
But, you are a young man, and I can see why you find it really hard to abstain from alcohol. There is no way at your age I could have just said 'I'm not drinking ever again' and meant it, that is unless I had some sort of allergy to alcohol itself.
If you do manage to kick the booze at your age, then I will envy that, because I wish I could turn back the years and do exactly that.
Congratulations on kicking booze out of your life, that’s absolutely awesome.
Also yes that is definitely something that eats at me and has led me back into relapses is my mind telling me “oh you’re young still you can do it” when I know where it would lead to and that’s nowhere good at all.
I really hope I can kick it being somewhat young still. You’ve got to want it, you’ve really got to want it or it will never work. Thanks so much for this comment and god bless 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 That's exactly right, you have to want it. I personally feel that you have to either despise it or be very scared of it (whichever comes first), such like long-term tobacco smokers that suddenly quit when they get a health scare form a visit to the docs. In my case, I came to despise the booze.
Assuming entirely, but it's unlikely that at your age you will have irreversible liver damage from the alcohol, especially with your recent break-offs from drinking, giving your liver time to repair. You're in a position to either gradually learn to moderate alcohol consumption (i.e. drink sensibly) in which case you would not need to quit drinking (I've seen many of my friends do that, where they were all-out boozers for some years but now they can just go to the pub on a weekend and have one or two pints then call it a day). Or if moderation is just not possible (such as is the case with myself), then quit completely and you'll escape any permanent damage. That's a good position to be in, so make sure you harness it my man 💪
@@well0so0they0say beautiful advice and wisdom right here brother thank you 🙏, y’all teach me so much. You guys have really guided me in the right direction and when I say you guys I mean the subscribers who are sober who have “been there done that”. I appreciate these comments so much!!! Y’all are saving my life!! 🙏💯 I will keep everything you said in mind.
Day300 was the turning point for me. Once there I knew I was going to finish the year. Next week I start my 3rd year.
Congratulations brother, that’s what I like to see. 🙌💯💯
Love you slayer 💪 keep going strong
Love you as well Jeff!! ✌🏻
Hey sober bro. Glad to see you’re back. Remember, it’s called “recovery” because we’re never truly “cured”. It’s a daily adventure to live our best life. Things happen but getting back on the path is always the hardest but best way.
Never really thought of the recovery word like that but yea you’re 100% spot on brother. It is a daily adventure/battle that we go through. It is the hardest way but once you can get through the other side you start to se the light again. I always enjoy seeing your comments my friend, thank you. 🙏
Found this newest video...missed you in my feed!! Worried, wondered what happened!! I know you've been busy working nights . Keep inspiring ppl...like me!!😂 r💪 🙏

@@mellissahoyle5594 awesome, Melissa!! Keep it up! ❤️🙏 Have a great day!! 😁
I can relate to you for sure....I too looked up to Dirk....I have spoken to him by email and over the phone a couple times....I talked to him by phone a month before he died and he told me if I didn't quit drinking I wouldn't be around in 3 months and then he died a month later....I have to stop I just feel lost....I need support and love.... please pray for me ❤
That’s so sad, please don’t give up!!! Keep going for Dirk and for yourself because you are worth it!!! You have a community here on this channel. We are all here for one another, much love!! Keep me updated!
Good morning slayer, what a great way to start the day with hearing such a strong and inspiring message from you. We all have baggage but drinking will not change that. We need to forgive, not for those who have hurt us, but for us. As for dirk, it saddened me to hear that he passed. I hope it wasn’t related to this disease but chances are it was even if he never touched the ☠️ again there are possible secondary effects of drinking heavily for many years. Actually nowadays the message is even a little can affect our health. It’s baffling how something that kills so many is glamorized. I wish the industry would treat it the same way as cigarettes. There’s no need to have commercials and billboards. I know it’s up to us but it makes it that much harder. Thank you for supporting this community. Let’s kick this thing in the face. We can do this!!!
Hey micru!!! Thanks so much as always 🙏🖤. Also yes it’s absolutely insane how the deadliest drug on earth is glamorized and normalized, but the alcohol industry is a lot of 💰. They don’t want to lose out on that, they rather make their money and watch us 💀 sad enough to say. I’m with you tho micru let’s kick this things a%#!! We are worth it!!!!
Thank you.❤
Thank you!!! 🙏🖤
we love ❤️ you bro . we need you. o struggle with my girl as she is drinking herself to death . now she is talking to a meth addict that she met at rehab. he is 35 she is 48 . i’m 60 so i can’t be part of this dysfunctional stuff anymore.
Much love brother, i appreciate your comments man I really do. Also I’m very sorry to hear that my friend, I’m not telling you to do this but sometimes we need to step away from certain people and things for our own sake. As an addict I know there is only but so much people can do for us, we need to want it. Maybe if you stepped away it would wake her up and realize what she will lose if she keeps down that path. Prayers go out to you both man, please keep me updated!!! 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 it’s looking this way as she always throws a guy into the mix . 2 and half years listening to the rants for hours while she is drunk . it’s be overwhelming and heartbreaking to say the least . but i may have to cut ties . i was going to fly her to the boat but while she still drinking this is not a good idea.she spends what $ she has on booze and cigarettes. i will yet the meth addict take over
@@andreflavell3453 I’m sorry brother, I can feel your pain with your words my friend. Stay strong, do what you must. Take care of yourself!!! 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 thankyou for your gracious help . i know you are busy responding to lots of messages. your channel helps me process stuff . if you could please do a video on loving a alcoholic and the behaviours that one will encounter. maybe from a make prospective.
@@andreflavell3453 yes brother, I’ll make a video on that for you man. 🙏
Don't let the demons get you bro. You are better than that. That was the demons talking.
I was gonna tell him this as well
It definitely was plan-c, I believe that 100%. Much love as always my friend! 🙏
I picked up the bottle when my boyfriend left me. Never used to drink, but I took to booze very strategically. I knew it would numb me. I still can’t get over it after more than a year. It hurts so freaking bad. I’m dying from a broken heart, I really am. And booze will totally make it happen.
No hope for me.
@@josephinenapoleana738 there is always hope. You can make the choice today to save your life. My ex ran away with my brother, trust me I know the pain of an ex more than most. It’s almost killed me but I’m not letting that take me out. You can’t let your ex take you out!! You’re worth more than that!!! Reach out and get the help you deserve. If you are laying in a hospital bed with 3 months to live you will 100% regret your decisions and your view, trust me!!!! It all gets real when the doctors tell you if you continue to drink you really will die!!!
God bless you Josephine, you have a friend in me and this channel. You aren’t alone, feel free to message me any time. 🙏🙏 good luck and be safe, keep us updated!
Ya know what really works too is the serenity prayer. Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths. In through the nose and out through the mouth.
God
Grant me serinity to accept the things I can not change.
The courage to change the things that I can.
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Thank you for replying to my comments btw. It means a lot :). Thank you.
I say this prayer often, it’s beautiful and really does help. Also the thanks goes to you!! I feel like I owe it to y’all to reply and I really enjoy talking to you guys. Much love!! 🙏

Sad that delerium durk died as well...he had been through it all and still succumbed. Grim reaper got him

Do you know if he passed from alcohol complications? Had he been sober for awhile? May he be free and at peace ❤🥀💔🕯️🕯️🕯️

Stay on the path
I will brother, trust me I will. One day at a time 🙏
Slayer, this video made me cry for so many reasons. Because of the sadness behind it, because of the hope behind it and the powerful message of love behind it. I'm so glad you didn't hurt yourself. It's sad enough to lose people for reasons outside of what you were describing, but so sad to think of you feeling that level of despair. I watched all my siblings grapple with those same feelings for different reasons, so I know what it looks like. You obviously made the right choice. But I'll tell you what i told them, that when moments like that arise, reach out to someone and just hear what they have to say. Or let them just sit with you in your hurt until it passes. I hope anyone here who may sit with feelings like that will reach out. I hate the idea of anyone not getting the opportunity to experience the good that may be sitting right around the corner waiting for them. That's also what compels this community to support each other. Because we want everyone here to live. I love everyone in this community and I truly hope we all get to enjoy our lives fully and for as many years as we can ❤ thank you, friend for your care, your compassion, your love and your prayers! We're all in this together! ❤️ let's keep enjoying this walk
Hey friend, this comment made me cry too. You’re such a kind person and give the best advice. Thank you for regenerating my belief in humanity. There’s so much hate in this world that I understand why some could feel so lost at times. I can’t watch the news…the loss of hope, respect, and empathy it’s too much. Thank you for being a kind person.
@@Micru866 I could and will say the same to you, Mic (about regenerating faith in humanity)! I get it! That's why communities like this are so great, because we're in a weird spot in this day and age. There are plenty of people who have a hard time looking outside of themselves. But I know a lot of people that are just like all of us. I agree. Turn off the news. It's mainly garbage anyways. I'm really glad I met you all in here. I look forward to talking and sharing with you guys. It's refreshing! I hope you're having a great week so far 😊❤
I really couldn’t have said it any better than micru, thank you for letting me see that there still are good people out there. Both of you are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met!!!!

@@Slayer-7373 💜 you’re awesome slayer and helping so many. I’m so glad you realized in that dark moment that you deserve love!!!
I've been trying to think of interview questions!
So.
1: did your family ever try to confront your drinking? How did you react, and how did that make you feel?
2: did all of your friends drink? Did you have any friends that didn't really, or any friends confront your drinking? If so, how did you respond and how did it make you feel?
3: what was your first hobby that you used to distract yourself when getting sober? What are some of your hobbies in general??
4: what were some of the first changes you noticed when your sobriety started to stick? Healthwise, energywise and/ or mental / emotional?
That's all I've got for now!! I'll keep wracking my brain, but i also need to think of some interview questions for LD's wife hahaaa
Awesome questions Amanda!!!!! Thank you. 🙏
@@Slayer-7373 of course!! 😁😁
Thank you ❤

What a great idea!
Billions of galaxies and hundreds of billions of stars ,and we're a speck on one. That's us lost in space , the cop , you me ? Who notices
Very true my friend.
Imagine being clean off several different things and completely sober then relapse on alcohol.... Kinda seems like the best option. I've been fighting it my whole life basically since I was 15 I'm 32.
I can totally relate to the struggle my friend.
you scared me 😭 but I understand why. In way the title still makes sense, we cant stop drinking so we quit trying to make drinking “work” in our lives. Did you ever try to put rules on your drinking? hahah only on weekends or only this type of liquor. 😂 yeah right. Anyway, Im glad you’re feeling this passion you have a wonderful way with words and I’m sure this video is going to help a lot of people.
I know right sage 😅 he scared me at first
Oh, there you are sage!! Need to find your channel too!! I'd like to start one!!! Spread the WORD!!!
I’m sorry y’all!! 🤣 I didn’t mean to scare you guys. Also absolutely lol, pretty much any rule you can think of I tried to set it for my drinking. You know I’ll only drink beer, I’ll only drink on the weekends, I’ll only drink one day a week, I’ll only drink when so and so is here, Ill only drink if it’s a holiday lol. Of course I never followed these rules smh.
Thanks for the kind words as well, I hope so that’s my mission in all of this. Hope all is well sage!! Much love. 🙏🖤

Slayer is inspiring!! Full of ENERGETIC ENTHUSIASM!!
Hey 👋 thanks Jackie, unfortunately sad enough to say I was that bad at one time. Some things are hard to talk about I’m sure you know how that goes, but I know these stories will help someone and that’s what this is all about. I just want to give back a little for all the chaos and destruction I caused while drinking. If I can just help save one persons life my mission is accomplished. Much love and thanks for all the sweet comments 🙏🖤

How my friend? How? How were you able to keep your job through all this shit? My job was the first thing I lost.
Hey brother 👋 I’m doing alright thank you. The only reason I’ve kept my job is because I’m real close with the bosses, if it wasn’t for that I would have been fired by now sadly. I plan to sit down and film a video tonight actually!!! I’ve just been crazy busy!!! It upsets me that I haven’t been uploading more, much love my friend!
Everyone is trying to make me go back to being a drunk
Don’t listen to them Doug!! Not worth it at all!! 🙏

I’d pray brother, I’d really start to pray. Realize you are still here and alive so that means you still have a chance at turning this around. Take yourself to the hospital brother or take yourself to a detox, get yourself out of that hellish cycle. Once you come out of the darkness you will start to see the light and you will be so thankful you did. Keep your head up man, much love and prayers to you 🙏
Do you think identifying as an alcoholic is useful? AUD makes more sense to me as everyone is different.
Killing it btw bro.
Interesting that you ask this because I’ve been debating this in my head for about a week. I don’t know how I feel about identifying as an alcoholic. I might change my intros up I’m not sure. I think to some degree calling ourselves alcoholics perpetuates that mindset but idk good question my friend.
Also thanks brother, i appreciate that. 🙏💯
Saying aud is also softer on the ears and less offensive I would say.
@@Slayer-7373 alcohol use disorder is on a spectrum, so its "alcoholism"
@@Jimlifts1 agreed
Depending on the time she could be in one or several places 😉
Hey what’s up Luke, who is she? Brother sorry I’m confused. Haha
@@Slayer-7373hey soooo I’m dying here to solve the riddle. These lines are from one of my favorite movies, the dark knight. Joker said it. lol
@@Micru866 ohhhhh 🤣, that’s right. I was so confused. Thanks for letting me know micru!! 🙏
@@Slayer-7373Luke gotcha good lol. I’ve been laughing all day. 😂it’s great to laugh my friend.
Bruh you not suppose to drink the day after drinking
You need Jesus Christ!!! You need the gospel and you need to be born again of the Spirit of God Almighty!!! Because the enemy has power and alcohol is a spirit!!! It's demonic!!! I pray that you will seek God Almighty!!!
Amen.
What has helped me:
*Listening to Craig Beck (The Stop Drinking Expert on youtube) and also listening to Annie Grace and William Porter (both also on youtube). These folks got my thinking straight about alcohol. They solved my alcohol problem when AA couldn't.
*Cannabis and kratom (keep the kratom dose low and never mix with alcohol).
You need to never drink alcohol again. Period. No matter what that takes.
Before you try that first drink try the following (assuming you don't harm others):
*Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
*Antidepressants
*Exercise
*Avoid exercise
*Meditation
*Porn/Masturbation
*No fap
*Video games
*Cannabis
*Kratom
*Magic Mushrooms
*Abstaining from ALL drugs
*Screaming out loud
*Shitting on the living room floor for kicks
*Cleaning your house
*Destroying your house
*Eating Healthy
*Eating a gallon of ice cream
*Join a cult like AA
*Quit AA
*Go to a Pentecostal church and speak in tongues
*Join the Satanic Temple
*Become a Buddhist Monk--join a monastery
*Become a die hard atheist
*Get your chakras cleansed
*Go for a walk/run/hike
*Journal
*Quit your job
*Deflate your ego
*Build up your ego
*Join Scientology
*Cross-dress for fun
*Join the circus
*Adopt an extreme diet
*Adopt a healthy balanced diet
*Sleep all day long
*Don't sleep at all
Basically what I am saying is that (almost) any idea (no matter how wacky) is better than taking that first drink. Obviously don't harm others or yourself and your choices still have consequences, but you see what I am saying. You are dealing with hospital-level alcohol problem here--damn near anything is better than taking that first drink. Stay away from the hard, really bad drugs like alcohol, cocaine, meth, heroin, fent, etc. I have no problem with someone trading a life-threatening vice for a vice that won't kill you any time soon as a temporary measure (or even as a permanent measure if you find you just can't do better no matter what you try).
*Claim "Teetotalism" and that you are a "teetotaler" rather than "sober" if you abstain from alcohol but not other drugs. If you claim sober and do other stuff, people will give you shit for that.
Very interesting comment, a different view on addiction. I agree with a lot of this actually, it’s the number one destroyer in my life. It’s the number one thing I need out of my life so maybe temporarily or like you said possibly permanently as long as it’s not causing you are others a lot of harm might be necessary to SAVE YOUR OWN LIFE. I’m battling on the daily to stay away from that demon alcohol, but I know in my heart it’s the best thing I can do. It’s what I need to do to save my life. Thank you for this comment and different point of view, I really appreciate it.
@@Slayer-7373 And most definitely do listen to Craig Beck, William Porter and Annie Grace on youtube. I cannot emphasize that enough...especially Craig Beck www.youtube.com/@Stopdrinkingexpert. Get Craig Beck's info drilled into your head. You are still referring to alcohol as a temptation--it's not a temptation--you just perceive it to be because of your mindset (which can be fixed, Craig Beck "red-pills" us so-to-speak about this whole alcohol thing).
