    Hey Slayer, I hope you're feeling better today. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's dog. I've had quite a few dogs in my life, and it never gets any easier to lose them.
    As a fellow alcoholic with a PhD in self-deception, I know very well how easy it is to create excuses to "just have one, one more time". Just don't do it, man. Remind yourself of how terrible the withdrawal process is. You don't want to go through that again.

    In my experience, resisting the urge to drink gets easier the more you do it. It’s like starving a demon that craves alcohol. The more you refuse to give in, the weaker it becomes. Every time you don’t drink when you want to, you’re taking power away from it. Keep going strong, and starve that demon into submission.

    Hey Slayer, I’m so sorry chancie is not doing well and has a host of health issues she’s facing. Please remember that they are not meant to suffer. As an animal lover, I too have been faced with the tough decisions to say goodbye when it’s time. I know it’s painful and unfair as we want them here with us but chancie knows how much she’s loved. Your mom and all those that surround her gave her an abundance of love. If it comes down to it and her little body can’t take it, you swallow that knot in your throat, let her see the love in your eyes and you tell her it’s ok to let go. She will cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge and will play with all the other 4 legged family members that are there. I have four that have passed…it doesn’t get easier.
    As for that awful little voice, you have to allow it to come through and then shut it down. I know I know easier said than done. But it’s possible you’ve been doing it for 41+ days. You have to associate ☠️ with the end of your life. Period! The health issues will subside, take the medication, ☠️ will not fix it. Im so glad you jumped on and put your thoughts into existence. Today is a new day and I have faith you remained sober. If you didn’t, then you start again and keep trying. There will always be bad shit that happens and the ☠️ creates more bad shit. I’m here if you need anything. I’m 💯 behind you. Much love always my friend 💜 💜 (sorry for the long post)

      I’ve said before don’t apologize for the long comments!! They are very often needed for me. Your comments always get me thinking and lift me up. Give me hope. Everything you said about the animals is true. They will see one another and be at peace! 🙏
      💪I did not drink, i can’t do that. Like you said I will overcome these things, we can get through anything and that’s how I have to view it. Like you said the there will always be stuff that happens, problems because that’s life but drinking wouldn’t solve any of them and most likely make them worse.
      Much love to you as well!! 🙏🖤 thank you micru as always!!

    Hey Slayer, im struggling with you. We owe it to ourselves to fight. Three weeks ago my dad passed and I wasnt able to win against the temptation to self-deatruct and now I am picking up the pieces from a relapse. Truth is there was no answer in alcohol, no healing; nothing but more pain and now I am far worse off than before. Now ive gotta slowly crawl my way back. Lets always remember, alcohol is a liar.

    Brother Slayer, it may help if you can determine why you keep relapsing and reaching for the bottle; is it boredom, anxiety, life-problems / sadness, habit or is it a physical addiction? It can't be physical addiction as you have good bouts of sobriety so it has to be something else. Keep fighting Slayer and I am always in your corner.

    I’m so glad you made this video instead. I pray that you fought this all the way until bed. This IS the battle. Reaching for help, praying and asking God, reaching out of people when you’re tempted to drink IS the hardest part. It’s taking action in the moment to do something differently than to give in. To play the tape all the way through and bask in the moment of knowing how NOT WORTH giving in is, like we watched you do in this video. 🙏🏽🙌🏼 I’m almost 2 years sober and I remember exactly what your night felt like lastnight Slayer. Don’t give up, I’m so sorry about your doggies. But you’re right about them not being in pain anymore. And you will heal from losing them. I’ve been there. I have stories and stories lol I’m praying for you in Jesus’s mighty name! Reach out if you ever feel the need to!

    It's weird you mention the heart rate thing because I have the same problem. I fucked myself to the point (along with being an ex-coke head) to where my heart is constantly stressed and I think, *"If you drink, your heart rate will go down"* I know that's only a temporary fix, but it's SO tempting just to get that slight bit of relief. I know in the end, it fixes nothing but I don't have much in the way of advice either. Except for, Chancie wouldn't want you to do it. I know she doesn't have much left but live the way she would want you to live and make her proud ❤

    My health anxiety used to be huge also, the heart rate thing definitely freaked me out. The thing that fixed this for me was to excersise cardio. I started very slow. I just do shadow boxing following along with”precision striking” on UA-cam. But now, I can crank my heart rate way up for 1 hr boxing seshion. So when I get worried about my heart when I’m not excersising, I know that whatever happens it can handle it, because it will never beat faster than my workouts. I’m sorry you’re struggling, wishing you the best.

      I’m actually happy to see people are able to relate to the health anxiety. Because mine is bad man, like really bad. I’m the type of person who needs to know what’s going on with me 100% to be feel comfortable. Or I completely ignore the issue entirely and act like it doesn’t exist, going back to booze thinking it’s helping a health problem. It’s total insanity but that’s what alcoholism is after all.

    I had an intense feeling last night my time that “I wonder if Slayer is struggling? I wonder if he’s messaged me” and I checked Instagram…how spooky is that? The struggle demons will happen thick and fast in the early days, you did the right thing making a video. As long as you see a drink the same as a loaded gun you’ll be ok. Unfortunately pets will die, family members will pass away and partners will cheat on you. Are you going to shoot yourself every time that happens? As in, one drink means death, like I’ve been saying you’ve pushed your luck for so long. One drink = shooting yourself in the head. I know you know that but addiction ruins our logical thinking. You stayed strong though! You DID it! And each time it will get easier, it’s like a muscle.

      I think you know as well as I do once you get to a certain point with your drinking it’s extremely dangerous. Now I don’t know if I would die if I drank again but it’s very possible. It’s a roll of the dice, a gamble each time we jump back into that crazy world. It’s just not worth the risk.
      I’m glad I didn’t drink last night, it would have solved nothing and most likely I’d be on a binge doing god knows what. Y’all really have helped me see things more clear as well. This community is awesome man. Thanks josh, hope you’re well brother.

I had been quit for about 25 days (couple days before August) then the evenings of Aug 21,22,23 I had strong massive physiological (physical) withdrawals and I gave in, I said I can just do a little pint, did that, then ran out n went n got another pint next day then next day a 5th, then after 2 days a Handle, I'm on the last of the handle tonight hoping I won't want more thru the nite or tmrw. It's a real F'n battle!!! I quit my job in May been living off credit cards n savings I'm not getting anything done drinking except chain smoking (I make my own cigs, cheaper) n eating n sleeping. I pour about a shot n half cheap whiskey in a mug n fill with water until palatable n drink every time I'm awake. I swore to Jesus I never want to put another drop to my lips yet here I am. I hope to quit again when this handle runs out. God give me strength and will! I want to be sober like when I was a kid n didn't know the substance. Right now I've got 2 drinks left n I know I can motor to the nearby drive thru liquor store that closes at midnight, it's 9:52pm Colorado, I hope I will choose to sleep and choose to quit, again.

We therefore must distance ourselves from the HOUSE, from the Casino. It's a place of Loss for us. I suggest you relax and get a Quiet, NON - grasping MIND. This is anxiety and Tension. I am so sorry about the pups. Heart breaking. I too am glad to see you come here instead of isolate. Good job Slayer. IF your Body- Mind receives the endorphins that exercise ( a WALK - glad to hear you walk ) releases, you will feel much, much better. I promise. Whenever you get wound like this, a suggestion is STOP and find a way to do a 30 minute ( at least ) power walk. YOU can so find the time amigo. Walking will lower your racing heart. I have that too. Walking brings a quiet mind and focus. Walking puts a calming shield or buffer around the head for hours and hours. I hope it's ok I made this suggestion. The anxiety will flatten if you get a walk in everyday. Head phones -- pod casts, spiritual stuff, music, Relaxation talks. Another benefit -- Vitamin D from the sun. Early morning sun is best -- right into your eyes. Will help sleep too. My counselor used to leave me in another room as I had a panic attack before the session started. Love your panic - allow it. Embrace it. The folks in my stop smoking group who developed a daily walking practice, guess what they did? They Effing quit killing themselves with the cancer Stix and protected their quits too. Walking puts us in a better, very chill mood. And who knows, you might meet a new friend on the trail. Walk a moderately good pace if you can. OR work up to it. The First step is the hardest. Slayer guess how I coped with panic ? WALKING EVERYDAY -- walking is the GURU

    Absolutely spiritual warfare. How are you doing now Brother? Did you end up drinking? If you did no not fret.
    You are correct, God will not tempt but He will test you.
    The devil will tempt you, he knows your every move, and familiar spirits have watched us our whole lives. You’re dealing with a fallen angel, and the flesh. But we also serve a God who is much bigger than lucifer.
    Your content is amazing Brother. I had a slip just recently also.
    When night hits - everyone’s in for the evening with their Families - you have that free time and that set of keys to run up to that liquor store. That first chug & release? Brother I completely UNDERSTAND.
    so I know the absolute hell a lapse causes. Especially when it’s invaded a structured routine you’ve been working so hard to keep on tacked.
    You got a beautiful soul Slayer. Keep up the good work man - and just know if you did slip, Gods mercy exceeds our understanding and He WILL lift you back up. Just like an eagle man.
    Love you Brother!!

      I did not drink thank god 🙏, I’m not out of the woods yet though. Like you said god doesn’t tempt you, that’s exactly why I said it the way I did, but the devil on the other hand that’s a whole other story. I’m definitely still being tempted with everything going on man.

      @@Slayer-7373 so good to hear man, you got this. You don’t even understand how happy I am for you.
      You’re over a month, hold onto that & keep that in sight. Keep it sacred.
      I would give anything to be where you are right now - though no fear, I will be completely sober. Claiming this in advance, in Jesus Name.
      I broke a 147 streak October last year and that was heart wrenching to say the least. I’ve been “looping” ever since.
      Absolutely, Brothers in Christ 🤙
      There hasn’t been a single thing you’ve said, that I haven’t related to. People who have never been through alcoholism will never understand the depths of hell it can bring you into.
      No fault of their own, and I would never ask for pity in any way, shape or form. It’s simply unexplainable though, and confusing to loved ones as to why you just don’t “stop”.
      Bro, I’ve been fighting damn hard, just like you have been also. I will not let this substance take my life.
      I’m getting sober for me first and foremost, and my loved ones.
      and remember … keep the streak you’re on sacred. You are in such a good space right now. You’re distanced from that snake. If you have to - fall to your face if that craving comes on and it’s too much.
      Fall flat on your face and scream for God man. Open the Bible in that moment. He will give you exactly what you need, if that moment arises. Many times, I only wish I would have done that.

    James 1:12-15. 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
    13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
    14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
    15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
    1 Corinthians 10:13. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
