I’m quitting alcohol starting today. I hate the way I act when I’m drunk. I want to get rid of it for good and start working on myself for better mental health.
im gonna join you brother
@@Gtslmfa0 I’m a female, yes let’s do it.
Good luck man! I'm 11 days sober myself. Check out Fit Recovery here on UA-cam. It's a great resource.
Hi, friend. I hope you succeed on your journey to kicking alcohol. I'm 21 months sober. Started drinking when I was 16 and finally decided to quit when I was 31. It's definitely been a journey but well worth it. I wish you the best.
@@robbyb6380 Thank you 😊. I’m 12days without alcohol now, it was a little different the past weekend because it was my first weekend without drinking. But also the best weekend, I got to wake up with great energy and managed to do some activities also being present with my loved ones. It feels good without it and I’m excited to keep going.
Today is my first day without a drink.
How are you now?
Mine too
Also me
I quit alcohol. I had to ask my roommate to move out because he didnt want to stop drinking and I wasnt strong enough to quit when he was drinking around me. I quit cold turkey. It was hard for about a month, and it got easier and easier. The biggest deterrent for me to find an excuse to drink again is I just didnt want to be that person anymore. Its been almost 2 years I've been sober. Coincidentally, I stopped vaping at the same time. Somehow with the grace of God, I was able to quit 2 major things together.
This is awesome, keep it going and God bless !!!
Way to go! Praise God!
Is life better?
This was me.... Pounding them back and having that burst of euphoria.. Never could stop... 5 years sober ❤️❤️
I’m proud of you. God bless I am fighting myself
12 years myself, a day at a time,😄
Going through my own journey now. I love seeing the comments from people who have been in, and through recovery :-) it's very encouraging to what a person is capable of.
I hate how accepted alcohol is.. I have quit multiple times buy I always start again 🤦
Y'all some stong mfers... Cudos to you guys who can be strong and smart enough to overcome 💪.. I hope to find the strength one day 🙏🏽
5 months ago I was watching this video in my bathroom on the floor drunk as hell crying my eyes out after realizing all self respect was long gone. I thought I couldn't stop, that the people who could had something special about them. I'm 4 months clean now through naltrexone and counseling, and I feel great. it really is a decision you won't regret, once you feel the benefits, you rarely miss being drunk
Going on 3 years now sober from alcohol. I’m telling you friends it is worth it, you have to want it and you have to get angry at it taking control of your life. Health is better, relationships with loved ones and family is better, and the general quality of life has sky rocketed. Stay strong and get away from the bottle, it’s the best thing you’ll ever do for your life.
Way to go!
This explains a lot. I’d wondered how I’d I have shots or drink beer fast then I feel euphoric and can’t stop but if drink slow it does nothing but make me tired
Yep. Know what's crazy?? They don't tell you that in AA or rehab.... at least not in the ones I've attended. Jordan doesn't beat around the bush, this dude is a life saver.
I did this too and before I got really bad I would use a shot gun glass of wine or beer to get through stressful situations but it eventually got to where I had to keep going and going and going so I finally got sober. Occasionally I think I can have 1 drink and then I remind myself of why it's so addictive for me.
@@tashalodge1340 congrats on your recovery!!!
I’m fighting this now by tampering. I’m watching this daily to fight and motivate. Thank you. God bless all in this world and in recovery.
I cannot be another statistic or another dead husband.
65 days clean and sober today
103 today
@@Jupiter1423 badass bud, keep it up!
@@Jupiter1423 WELL DONE.
I'm at 31 days today
gj dude im 1 day
Alcohol works as a stimulant for me and once i start i cannot stop, now 3 weeks clean aint thought about or looked at a drink since i completed a 12 step recovery program
How you doing brother?
Attempting sobriety post covid lockdowns and isolation. 5/20/21. Lets go
Yes!! How are you doing!?
Good luck
One of my biggest triggers is a hard day of work.. I find this extremely debilitating when it comes to quitting. How do you get past feeling left out and like you'll never just get to let lose and enjoy your life rather than work constantly?
27 struggling to deal with it, I said no to it once but came back to it 😞, this will be my second attempt
I'm attempting a few months off. I'm 36. I read that if you take at least one month off, you are less likely to continue drinking as much as you used to if you pick it up again. Prof Peterson also said that if you are looking to quit alcohol, you should find something better to replace it. I've yet to find that. I've been enjoying hikes/walks lately but they're not as fun as tanking up. I guess it's just one day at a time, keeping the future and my health in mind. Good luck.
27 also, a week sober & found I was 100% the last one drinking, sometimes 3-4AM, I tried the moderation thing but I couldn’t control that so going cold turkey, pray for me
Hope your doing well just planting a little seed for you if your still struggling give AA a go worked for me 12 step program for clear clean living
Stay off it man! NA Beer, HAMS, AA, work out til you're exhausted...whatever it takes.
Fight like hell brother! We can do this!!! I’m fighting with you.
I'm an alcoholic and I don't want to be
I feel for ya. So am I. Don't wanna be but I keep doing it.
Me 2
I think a great place to start is by talking to your doctor. Don't feel ashamed. We all do stupid and hurtful things while drinking. But, there are medical consequences to drinking. You might need to taper off or have a medically supervised detox. Plus, there are effects on your liver, heart, and brain. Alcohol use should be as important to your doctor as your blood pressure, diet, and exercise. Hopefully, your doctor can help you figure out the next steps. Good luck!
@@resilientrecoveryministries you are right! I'm on day 6 alcohol free. Sick of it
Alcoholics Anonymous works. I'm 7 years sober thanks to the program, spent 10 years in active addiction and so lucky to be alive.
The Anger IS the Disease.
Three weeks, body feels good. Mind not so much.
How now
Religious conversion as a treatment is so true. I did not have a single drink in the last 6 months.
The first alcoholic type he described was definitely me.
That’s exactly how I drank.
2 years sober. AA works
This is very interesting, I hate booze/alcohol. It has caused so much misery.
I agree, Micky, but its when this *Booze* interacts with a so inclined soul, does it takes on the truly devastating resulting misery. A famous quote by *Bill W* of Alcoholic Anonymous says a lot. *_“Almost without exception alcoholics are tortured by loneliness”_*
@@DadsAmazingAdventures I actually feel very sorry for alcoholics, they really need help.
Appreciate the comment and well done on lessening the drink and taking the time to care for yourself. Loneliness is a difficult issue to deal with and as you say, finding someone you trust is important. I would encourage you to keep reaching out, maybe to a local mental health community and see if there are any groups in your area. Take the step out and see if you can connect with people with like minded interests. Its a brave step to take, but eventually it will bring a positive result not only yourself, but those that you interact with and will enjoy your company. Remember. You have to be out there to really connect with someone. Take care of yourself and keep working on yourself. :) ua-cam.com/video/mRVELBc5xGA/v-deo.html
Take care..:)
@@DadsAmazingAdventures Yes sir I agree.
I re watch this video monthly. Just to remind me. I am one of these people. Its all or nothing for me when it comes to alcohol. Its either an entire fifth and some beers or nothing at all. Ive followed Jordan ever since i saw this. Hes very accurate
I'm 44 hes on the mark, had a 23 relationship, broke detox because of that ( trigger love ) I had a great job no criminal record. It consumes you massively. Pls take care.
So do I. I like his style of speaking in such an easy relatable way. He tells it like it is.
I’m desperate to change but I keep going back. Been struggling for 16 years.
I haven't been at it that long but I'm in the same boat. Currently working on changing it.
I can relate.... 11 days sober today by the Grace of God. There is a solution....
The best advice I can give you is to go to an AA-meeting, or at least call them. I am a newcomer myself, but I have realized that I am powerless against alcohol. I've tried to change the way I drink a thousand times, I know now that I am not capable of doing this myself. I need to go to the meetings, call my AA-buddies whenever I feel that I'm in a pinch. There is no judgement, and trust me whatever you've been through, they've been there too and will always support your journey towarda sobriety. ❤
AA works while you’re working it
Same here, I’ve been off and on the wagon all through my 20s and now I’m 30 and back on a relapse it sucks
Yup. Im one of those people. Trying to quit at the moment. Going to speak to the doctors about Naltrexone tomorrow.
Its been a game changer for me. Good luck man!
I'm trying to quit smoking, drinking and cocaine. All at the same time, good luck for us bro, i know we'll make it
I’ve been using Naltrexone on top of rehabilitation and education, it’s finally working. I wish you the best
I'm doing naltrexone atm and been clean for a few weeks, working good. How's it goin for u?
It absolutely works , been on it and sober over 2 years.
TY 4 POSTING THIS CRITICALLY INSIGHTFUL INFORMATION
5 months done.... Things are clearer. 👍
Thank you
What lecture did the first JP video come from? I really want to watch the rest. The link in the comments only matches the second half of the video.
Jordan NAILS the hangover! He understands completely how it feels.
20 days
This 1000% percent applies to me. It’s not normal to consume a pint of smirinoff 100 nearly every night and be fine. I’m afraid if I keep up I’ll develop the shakes
that transition at 5:44 LOL perfect
I LAUGHED SO HARD
Seemed impossible, but it’s been over 7 months and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the KEY difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal, not even within the first 30 days after I actually applied what I talked about. No need for AA meetings or meds either, I just luckily go’ogled Steffon Barkload’s latest, man, wish I had done it sooner.
How are you coping now since making this comment?
AWESOME SNIPPIT DUDE!
this came up when I typed in JORDAN PETERSON DRINKING ADVICE. I wonder how effective it would be to have a tripping party with with the specific intention of addiction recovery. Hang regalia, meditative preparation, scheduled thought exercises for the whole duration, agreed upon prior, laid out...for however long the doses effect lasts...hmmm
This video made me cry when he said hereditary
It’s true. My father died of alcoholism and I’m a POS functioning alcoholic disappointment to my wife myself
Smart guy makes sense
This is how it affects me and over the course of just a few quick years (I'm 33) it has absolutely laid waste to my life and reputation. Don't even touch the stuff, it's a beast of a drug to try and fight.
Same bro
Why doesn’t he talk about the link between Alcoholism and trauma.
I'm sure you can find plenty of other lectures where is discusses that link. Keep searching.
The stimulant effect I totally understand - that’s why i drink and pro my why I can’t stop
& hope your well. I’m tapering off now. I’d love to support you if I can. It’s not easy but together we can do anything.
God bless and I wish you the lords strength and peace.
If you can't quit read Alan's Carr Easy way to quit alcohol and you'll be sober before you know it
JBP _knows_ what alcohol is!
While at McGill University and the Douglas Hospital, he conducted research into familial alcoholism and its associated psychopathologies
Im super nervous, I have had a tough job for 25 years now and I'm thinking about work every second of my life, even when doing sports (walking 20k, running). Not in a suffering manner, its more "and if I do this this way, and if I do that, tomorrow I need to close this and that" etc. I never stop thinking except after my first pint. Not only do I stop thinking but I also feel much better (no more back pain). It also makes me much nicer with people around because I'm relaxed and happy, I stop behaving like the cartoon Tasmanian devil making everybidy nervous. But the day after I'm feeling totally depressed so I try not to repeat this more than 3 times a week (which is already a lot). It's a drug, it's a real drug, it kills you, slowly. Stay away from it as much as you can. If you can't, get help (I'm monitored now and my consumption is 1/3 it was 2 years ago, although I'm not clean yet).
Sounds similar to Heroin when rapidly administered. It has a paradoxical stimulant effect, which gives IV users a 'rush'
I respect this guy, might even say I'm a fan of his, but I don't believe it's ethical to deliberately find people you know are highly susceptible to alcoholism, and get the significantly intoxicated, even repeatedly.
It's called scientific research homie.
Yeah, did seem to be a dangerous experiment
They’re gonna be drunk anyway. Might as well study them if they’re willing.
Def me.
I need help
Keep admitting it and asking for help. Look for a teen challenge in your area. It’s not just for teens as the name implies
Go to a Virtual Zoom AA meeting. The Stories told are enough to scare into not drinking
@@gianni2625 the stories are not enough, it's not an addiction if a story will get you off it. Cigarette packets have necrotic lungs and feet on packets and it scares noone away from their nicotine addiction.
OP needs to get to a meeting and do the work, discuss, read the literature and work on it.
Go to an AA meeting
Hey brother let’s do this together! Fight like hell! We can do this. Let’s not be another number or disappointment. I’m starting to taper effective immediately
I’m one of the dudes who can’t stop 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Same here. Do you WANT TO stop?
Fight like hell! Let’s quit together! We can do this
Me too! I went from beer to a bottle of tequila a day, now it's every other day. Such a waste of money, i hate it
There is a solution fellas. A solution that’s worked for people in WAY WAY worse situations than you
I'm not necessarily a big jordan peterson fan, but I don't get why he gets a lot of the hate he receives.
I think it mainly comes down to how much of an emotional person he is, and how unhinged some of his fanboys can get. Those two things make it easy for people who are broadly opposed to the side of the culture wars he represents to paint him as a villain amongst their own. Personally, I like imperfect, romantic, even quixotic figures like Peterson who really seem to care about the state of humanity. I believe Dr. Peterson is both an intelligent and well-meaning man. At the same time, I recognize he has a depressive, melancholic personality which lends itself to impolitic emotional outbursts, something which seems to have been compounded by a somewhat tough upbringing and the terrible illnesses of the two people his type of man would naturally fret over the most (wife and daughter). Then you have people who treat him as messianic figure, people who tend to have far more extreme views than the professor does, who virulently decry any critique of him -- albeit not his fault, these followers do not help his image.
The hate didn’t start until he stood firm against the LGBTQ push on the use of pronouns, when Canada was looking at passing legislation. As with all the cancellation, they then hate everything the person says afterward.
@@MootingInsanity I wouldnt say JP is idealistic, he is very pragmatic especially his message about meaning.
It's because he makes people on the left look stupid.
His psychology discussion is good. Politics non.
8:08 the allergy of the body & the mental obsession
6:28
6:33
I'm one of those. That's why I don't 👍
I had a irregular heart beat without a pint.
Soon as the Pints went to work it's settled down to normal after a day of putting up with everyone else 😎☘️
How come Peterson is an authority on almost EVERYTHING! I wouldn’t be v.much interested having a few pints in an Irish pub: he’s such a kill joy.
Very educated insightful man✌️
He's talking about alcoholism, not non-alcoholics whom are capable of drinking responsibly.
5:42 he just pounded a Guinness
😂😂😂😂
Naltrexone
Yes but you have to battle addicted mind that wants the high and actually take the meds. Also you are masking the issue with naltr3x9ne
ne.
The Sinclair Method
@@sarahsmyth5383 not vivitrol. Naltrexone and naloxone (suboxone) are WAY different in the fact the later has bupenephrone which is a synthetic opiod.
I wish JP was American🤷♂️
Okay but why🤦♀️🤣
He should know.
Kratom
Kratom kept me sober for about 6-7 months and I was grateful for that. Sadly, the effect didn't last and I'm about to try Baclofen starting next week. Hoping for good results!
Until you get horribly addicted/physically dependent to Kratom, go through one of the worst withdrawals of your life, and then have your alcohol cravings return with a vengeance. That was my personal experience, anyway
@@MichaelWilliams-fs5tm if using kratom to get over it, shouldnt you only use it for the first few days of quittinh to get past the worst? Idk much about it
I guess kratom might be okay from a harm reduction standpoint, but if you're an actual alcoholic you most likely will go on with Kratom much like the alcohol. Ask me how I know. Im an adict through and through. I have tried the using drugs to get off drugs thing more than once. Getting off drugs has been the only effective method for me. Good luck
Is he talking about himself?
He's talking about you.
@@Photosynthesislove maybe all us. Why you watching these vids?
@@Photosynthesislove are you drinking right now?
He talks about his struggle with alcohol in some of his other videos. So he's probably talking to everyone including himself.
If he was and found a way out and now sharing with us his experiences, I am happy he is talking about himself then
Can’t ignore the irony of a pill addict talking about alcohol addicts. You can’t make this stuff up.
Yeah, you can. He's trying to help people and you're trying to be edgy in the comments at your old age.
Well said. "The phrase "an empty vessel makes much noise" means that people who are not knowledgeable or do not have much substance tend to talk a lot in order to compensate for their lack of depth or substance. It is often used to refer to people who are loud and talkative but do not have anything meaningful to say"
