I've been sober for 8 months so far and I feel great ! My wallet has gained weight in that time also . Sobriety is life changing in a stupid cool way !!!
I got tired of asking my wife why she was so mad. It was always, don't you remember what you said or did last night? She's still by my side thank God. I spent a week in ICU. Back to drinking in a week. That was about 5 years ago. Well, this summer I was back in ICU. This time I saw the devil. 4 year old daughter asking what and why. I found my 19 year old son. I have a lot to live for. If I drink now, it will kill me. My life is great looking through sober eyes. My wife is still with me. I am blessed.
As the years passed, the happy buzz from drinking gradually diminished making way for anger and depression. It's a painful fact to acknowledge but necessary nonetheless. The idea of staying sober is terrifying . I'll try to do a year and see if my quality of life improves. A clean diet , fitness regimin and guitar will be my focus from hereonin .
Thanks a lot, it did help me to understand better! I've been drinking for 7 years now pretty much every hour while awake. I take a shot at work every hour, I work at Wendy's. The thing is I like to be buzzed, I just don't like to be drunk, as a matter of fact I actually really don't like to be drunk. I did quit for 4 months just to see if I can do it, no problem. Also, I just don't see any problems drinking to the feeling of being buzzed every hour, the only thing is I had to sell me car and ride a bicycle, but it doesn't bother me. I don't think I'm an alcohol, it's gotta be some kind of alcoholic gene to be one. I just don't like drunk feeling, but love the buzzed one.
That crow sounded like a badass! Haha. 27 years of abusing alcohol enough is enough time for a new life I'm ready for some clarity... some high-definition life.
Please tell me this website is still up and running!!! I actively searched this topic and you were one of the most real and genuine people in my search. Can someone help please?
So true. I am a foodaholic and I can relate to what you are saying. On the converse alcohol and drugs are like punishment to me, although I have never tried drugs not even cigarettes and in the last 20 years I don't think I consumed more than 750 ml of alcohol and I think that number is an exaggeration. I just can't drink but food is my weakness. I am 60 pounds overweight
Very interesting! thank you for sharing...however high functioning alcoholics often joke or find excuses whenever you address this topic...they make you think that you are just a control freak...they associate the best moments in their lives with times when they where drinking and consider a party without alcohol impossible...how to deal with these attitudes?
...was cut off. Don't we watch these videos for encouragement and hope? Every good wish you all who posted remarks. Shame and blame are easy. Acceptance and self-love are so hard to achieve.
Find a local behavural health program and take the first step of speaking to a counselor. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired got sober and am still working to stay that way.
I wanna let you in on my terrible story I'm 21 years old, and in December I got a DUI nearly almost killed my self or someone else which would've been horrifying, so ya think id quit drinking for a bit after that right? nope I go back to school the very next week and go downtown get a public intox. I have a problem with binge drinking man, I drink so much to the point where its scary and the next day I sweat it all out and smell horrible the very next day, drinking so much water so I don't dehydrate, but I'm so glad these this made me realize I have a problem, like I said I don't drink every day but when I do I feel I have to get drunk I cant simply just have a beer, its gotta be 2 pitchers shots and its outta hand, I'm looking to get some treatment very soon because not only have I let myself down but my family.. and they do everything for me and I am supposed to be graduating from college here next semester but I have this shit over my head now, I have been drinking since the moment I stepped into high school and never looked back, I just have got to get a handle on this, I know I'm not ever not going to have a drink again, but I cant do it every single weekend, and my body man is just not the same.. I have noticed I am very shaky nowadays, uncoordinated & very clumsy it scares me.
I wish everybody the very best in their pursuit of being sober, but I think it's important to point out that the information described in the description of this video is excessively unscientific. I think there is a certain accidental irony in your username Will. In any case, best wishes to all. Life without alcohol is beautiful. Mind over matter.
Cunning and baffling . I drank only on the weekends and sometimes only one night . Cause I would have a bad hang over and depressed for a couple days . So not one form of alcoholic
Erica V Thats ok- thats why the universe passed the law of probability - probability in the fact that the more times you try, the more chances of success.
+caesar349 thanks for that :) yeah it doesn't make me a happy person at all very depressing feeling but gonna try again for my health and mindset. thanks for the comment.
If you drink you are an alcoholic. It is that simple. The human body was not meant to ingest, metabolize, and process ethyl alcohol as a waste product. So any amount of alcohol consumption falls within the continuum of a harmful, progressively damaging, and life threatening behavior.
Scott Harvie your mistaken, many people drink and they are not alcoholics , its a matter of how your frontal lobes react to the drug that determines if your a alcoholic or not
I was drunk every night for 11 years. i've been sober one year and my income has doubled, i feel great and 10 year younger. Best thing i ever did!

Scott Harvie Is it?

Buying a 6 pack of beer every night after work; alcoholic or not. I don't do this but knew someone who maybe still doesm
