    I ended up in jail at 20 years old (didn’t learn my lesson) and at 21 i was taken advantage of by two people close to me while i was in a blackout. I went to rehab TWICE. I drank and drank and drank until I blacked out and I didn’t know when I hit my limit. Here I am, 29 years old and after years of trying to make alcohol work I’ve come to realize it’s never going to work for me. Here’s to sobriety and the rest of our lives! thank you for sharing your story 🤍

    It takes alot to discuss this journey publically. I admire the strength you have to vent this and I'm proud of how you're continuing to show that strength with your current sobriety. You got this

    18 months sober yesterday. I always say that everyone should do the 12 steps. It truly just reveals so much to you about yourself and teaches how you to lead a better happier life.

    It’s been a struggle for me to raw dog life after my sister died, I was spiraling into alcoholism… my dad was an alcoholic my whole life til I turned 30, and it runs in my family heavily. The trauma of my sisters unexpected and sudden death set me off. I was so depressed. I’ve had a few minor relapses where I’ve started dipping my toes in it again but I’ve been lucky enough to be able to pull back. Been sober for several months now and my physical health has gotten so much better it’s hard to imagine putting that toxic shit in my body again. I know it’s embarrassing to talk about but babe, so many people battle alcohol addiction- it’s so readily available and socially acceptable, you can die from withdrawal, it’s so hard!!! Thank u for sharing. Ur not alone ❤

    I can relate. Been sober for 9 years and attend an AA meeting weekly. It really is a guide for living a positive and fulfilling life. Take care. Hugs and kisses from Minnesota. 😘

    This is so interesting to hear. I’ve been trying to be sober even though I don’t have an addiction to alcohol. It’s crazy how tempting it can be when in social settings and seeing it all over tv. Tv shows and movies there is usually a lot of drinking. NA beer, wine, and sparkling waters have helped. I have so much respect for the sober life

    Your honesty and vulnerability is so inspiring 🩵 I’ve had a questionable relationship with alcohol through my 20’s and I wish we would all be more honest and vulnerable as young people about why we chose or feel like we need alcohol and party culture, so much love🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

    Understand. I'm sober over 7 years now. Would never wish alcoholism on anybody. DON'T GO BACK TO IT. You are too beautiful and too intelligent. You clearly know you are done with it.

    My friend is an alcoholic and used to be a “fun” drunk in high school+ early college, but slowly she became very mean. She’s sober now hoping for the best for her

    I've noticed that a period of abstinence can actually build its own pressures. You are so worried that you will let yourself down and it adds to the other pressures which never went away. I've had several periods of abstinence and then periods of drinking. Everybody is different but I do feel I am gradually moving toward a life without alcohol and the ups and downs have given me insights into why I drank and how I can deal with it long term. So people shouldn't see relapses as failures.

    AA being linked to religion has always given me a bad vibe. like if you don’t believe in a higher power you can’t even complete the steps “correctly” if at all. it really needs to be revised. it prevents non spiritual alcoholics from having a safe space to heal

    I am 58 it will be 30 years for me in August. Alcohol is an insidious disease. I had to tell my self that alcohol is poison to me it is an allergy my body can’t fight. I shudder to think what my journey would have been if I didn’t take the steps way back when. I know it’s hard as a young woman to never be able to drink what I call the devils juice ever again. But honestly…I see you wanting this and you are a success always because you SEE. 😘

    i hear alcoholics talk a lotttt about alcohol being “poison”. and like if that’s what you need to believe to get sober and healthy, go for it! but it’s more often than not y’all put it on EVERYONE else. no, not everyone has the ability to become addicted. no, not everyone has a problem or needs to rethink their relationship with alcohol. YOU had a problem, that doesn’t mean everyone else does too. keep it on you and your journey

      Alcohol IS poison. The definition of poison is a substance or compound that the body rejects. The effects of alcohol come from the body attempting to reject it. And yes everyone has the ability to become addicted. Just because some people don’t wind up addicted doesn’t mean they don’t have the potential to. You are free to do whatever you please with your body and mind. She’s stating her opinion and her experience and i don’t think she was trying to say that everyone needs to be sober or avoid alcohol.

    • @carly7879
      @carly7879 7 місяців тому

      @@sydneyjacobson9833 so by that definition we ingest poison every day, in multiple ways. lmao like are we gonna stop driving cars bc they release toxic gasses? and no, by definition, not everyone can be addicted. coming from a psych student who literally studies addiction, it’s not present in everyone. it’s a mental illness. you can have outside factors that worsen your chances, like depression, anxiety, npd, etc. but it’s something you’re born with. the minds of addicts are vastly different from the minds of normal ppl
