The TRUTH about my DRINKING PROBLEM | How far is too far?

- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Hey guys! This video wasn't the easiest to make. It's never easy to talk about your struggles and your weaknesses but I do believe it's worth it. I want people who struggle with the same things I do to know they're not alone. We are in this together and can GROW THROUGH what we GO THROUGH. We need to understand first and foremost that we aren't strong enough to do this alone though. We NEED to rely on God for strength if we want to be successful and that's what I am here to share with you today. How God is changing me from the inside out.

I had a gastric sleeve in 2011 . After that I became a daily drinker and I also regained the the weight I lost. It has been over a year since I have had a drink and I have lost weight again. I can’t have one drink because I realise it may not be the first day or even the first month. But I will go back drinking and getting drunk. I have been to AA and I love the program. Turning my life over to a higher power. I finally have freedom. This is just me . But never be afraid to reach out.. good luck 💜
Aww thank you! So happy for you!!!
Thank you for sharing. It helps for sure!
I will overcome! Thank you for being so transparent about your struggle with alcohol. I'm right there with you. The struggle is real. I'm also thankful that God is so patient with us and tolerant😊 I'll be praying for your continued success with overcoming❤
Thank you! Praying for you too!
Congratulations, and continued success with understanding and dealing with your problem❤
Thank you 🙂
Wow!! What a confession that you shared. Thank you for this. I need to hear it . While I don't drink my addiction is junk food a little here and there.
God has been putting signs in my life too but I have been ignoring them. Listening to you has given me the courage to listen. I hear myself in you many times and I thank you for making it real.. may God bless you on your journey and give you the strength to tackle your burdens..
Amen!! We got this!!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I'll be doing the egg fast Thursday!! Thank you for always sharing your personal experiences. You have no idea how much you've helped MANY of us ❤
Aww thank you! Your support means everything!!
You've got this! Thank you for sharing, it is so difficult to come forward with our personal shortcomings. I understand that the food addiction area of the brain are the same as the substance addiction area of the brain. They are related, so I would guess that the same comfort that we get from eating food would be the same reason you may drink. .....you are strong and you will overcome! PS....I started my egg fast on Monday and I have lost 3.6 pounds so far! Phew!
Thank you!! Appreciate your support! Congratulations!! That’s awesome!!
I know that struggle, I went through it as well. You can do it! It gets easier for some and others struggle longer but you have the love and support of your family, friends and God! Lean on them when you need to.
Thank you!!
This is why we all love your channel... you are open and honest and make us all aware that we have issues but are not alone.
Thank you ❤️❤️
I speak from experience. I stopped drinking 30 years ago. I have an additive personality. I believe you are trying to replace your food with drinks. (I did the same.) When I finally crashed from losing weight and not drinking I went to therapy. The first question the doctor said to me is why to you want to punish yourself? I learned to write things down when I left this way. I too run away from things or hide. Being abused does that to you. I am only sharing my experience maybe something I say can help you. God Bless.
Thank you so much for sharing! We are not alone ❤️
So happy for you!!
Thank you!!
I will overcome!!! Stephy I am also conquering my drinking problem and today is day 60. Leaning on God and his strength is how I have come this far. I am so proud of myself and proud of you for changing these habits! Sending so much love ❤
-Tiffany Colson
So proud of you!!!!
Thank you for sharing this with us, Stephy. I am a prayer warrior and a believer, like you. So I will be praying for your addictive personality. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for convicting Stephy and helping her realize the importance to overcome this habit. Sharing this with us was a step in the right direction. Realizing there is a problem, asking the Lord to help you with it and give you strength through temptation. You are an amazing woman, an amazing wife, an amazing mother, and an amazing Friend to your UA-cam world! Thank you for being there for us!
Aww thank you so much!!!!!
You are doing amazing Stephy. Awareness is the first step.
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for saying that we're not alone. I can really relate to a lot of what you said.
We are all in this together!
Pefect timing....Thanks for sharing. I am on day 1 of the 5 day egg fast. YOU got this Girl!!!
You too!!!
What I noticed, and a lot people do this, we try to trade one addiction for another. So from food to alcohol and from the alcohol you were looking for something else. Doing just what you did and sitting through that uncomfortable feeling was the right answer. Thank you for being so brave and vulnerable with us. I can understand why you did not mention it upfront. We truly are on a journey with you. I pray God continues to strengthen you and conform you to His image. 🙏🏽💪🏽🙌🏽♥️
Thank you so much! I needed to hear that ❤️
❤❤❤❤
I will overcome. It takes a lot to share such personal trials. I'm glad I found your video. You've got this!
Thank you for your support!
Thank you for sharing this story. It's very powerful.
❤️❤️❤️
I will overcome, prayers headed your way. We got this, with God all things are possible 🙌😊
Amen!!
Amazing job for sharing this and great job at trying to get it under control. You've got this girl! 💪🏻🧡
Thank you!!
Hi Stephy, I am so proud of you for making this video. You are Brave, beautiful, and gifted. Please remember to always be true to yourself and this will make you complete and happy. 🤗 💕
Thank you so much!!
Stephy... thank you for your honesty and being so upfront with us.
Seventeen years ago, I noticed my hands having a slight tremor when I tried to light a cigarette. Fifteen years ago, I tested estrogen positive and had a double mastectomy but my hands still trembled. I discovered that if I had a glass of wine or two when I got home from work, I could make dinner and not drop anything. And so my life of drinking started. I became a very functional drinker and also the trembling started getting worse. I was up to a bottle and a half by the time I was diagnosed with "essential tremors." The doctor also informed me that people with this condition DO drink a lot to settle down the tremors. Then covid hit us all and I had to wait for surgery. I was so depressed that my GP didn't hesitate to get me on an antidepressant. I finally had successful brain surgery July 2022. 😃 Daughter got engaged the following year and the wedding is this August. I've not only been trying to lose a bit of weight on Keto but also quite smoking. As for drinking... sometimes I'll have just a couple of sips, sometimes I'll have a glass and sometimes I actually forget it's even there and I'll go days without. Happy, happy mama here. ❤🩹
Aww thank you for sharing! Your strength is inspiring! ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your struggles and how God is helping you along with growing your relationship with him. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
What a wonderful testimony! I am sure this message will impact many. It impacted me as well. I suffer from a condition called Dermatophogia which means I comfort myself by picking at my fingers to the point of them, bleeding and having open sores. I believe I inherited it because my grandmother on my mother side did it as well as my mother and daughter do it. it happens more frequently when the weather turns cold and dry because my fingers will crack and flake, which then causes me to try to fix them. After while, if my hands are not busy doing other things, it just becomes habit. I have invested in cotton gloves that I wear at night which helps greatly. But it is something that can be an embarrassment out in public. Once you do something enough times, it becomes habit and becomes all the more difficult to stop. So my heart goes out to you and I will be praying for your success. Thank you for telling your story!
So true! Thank you for sharing yours as well!!
You can do it, Steph!!! You will!!🙏🙏
Thank you!!
I will never judge you for drinking I just hope that you are doing better now. There is help out there if you need it. I appreciate you and your transparency
Oh yes, I’m doing great thank you! 😊 feel so much better without it!
I will overcome as are you! I wondered if you had tried the chocolate LMNT variety pack with hot water or almond mild or a splash of HWC - delicious. Something to sip and enjoy! And thanks for your transparency! God is at work in you and it shows!
Thank you!! No I haven’t tried it yet! Sounds interesting!
Ok, I’m glad you are trying to get a grip on your alcohol addiction. It’s not an easy addiction to kick. From what I hear is that your drinking problem is far worse than your food addiction and this is what you need to focus on first!! Not food, food is your second issue please don’t lie to yourself and talk to us to convince yourself. I really love your channel, and when you reveal this info, I realize nothing is what it seems in life. It all looked good and perfect. It explains some of your stalls. No judgement here, I care!! I’m not going to sugar coat this issue and say, you got this! Because honestly, this will be a tough road. Get yourself into some treatment program, please!!! ❤❤❤❤ praying for your strength!!
I appreciate your concern and your support! I’m actually having no issues at all without alcohol. Haven’t physically craved it once. It’s just creating a new norm for me at night. Getting used to it. Doing something different. I’m not lying to myself or anyone. This was a behavioral issue. A bad habit that got out of control that I finally chose to stop and obey God. And I’m doing that 😊 I wanted to share this because I know others struggle with the same thing. Bad habits! We can overcome
I will overcome! Sending love and strength to you.
Thank you!
I hear every word you are saying, its our routine, our nightly habits, but to face these emotions, that is the hardest for me. But I love my confidence now! Its crazy, I feel so good, and strong. And feisty! Lets continue! I stopped on December 29th, best decision ever. Thank you for sharing this, you are not alone
Yay!! Awesome!! Proud of you! We got this!!
I WILL OVERCOME!
Yes!!!
I Will Overcome
❤🎉Thank you 🎉❤
This is something I really needed to hear today. Thank you, God, for sending messages loud and clear.
Hugs❤
❤️🙏🏻❤️🥰❤️
I stopped drinking 10 years ago…best decision I have made ! My dad had pasted away in 2014. I just knew a had to do a cold turkey! To feel better in the morning & know I need that sense on betterment. It just felt right , especially at the time. Glad you are feeling better! Smile & cheers to you & your family! 🥳👏🏻
Thank you so much!!
Let’s overcome! Thank you for your honesty.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this raw and honest video Stephy.I used to drink a bottle of wine every night for a year, then realized that I can't lose weight so I stopped. Talking about withdrawal the worst one for me was when I tried quitting coffee, it just didn't work for me. I had severe headache I couldn't even drive and I realized that I will continue drinking coffee.
Congratulations, you can do this💪
I definitely get coffee withdrawals! That and sugar! They’re the worst! Can’t give up my coffee though!! 😋
I needed that encouragement tpnight Steph...10 years ago my husband left me for another woman after 34 years of marriage, and I starterd drinking red wine just to fall asleep, then the Lord made me realized that i was relying on the wine instead of relying on Him and so I stopped and He took care of my nights :) so the drinking is not the [roblem but my eating is...I do good many times then the carbs and sugar take over and the temptations happen so fast, I dont take time to pray...so yes as like you I have to maker a change and surrender it all to my Lord and Savior, He is SO able to help us thru all of this !! and like you, He brings little scary things in my life to help me to make a much needed change ...so thank you steph :)
Amen! God is so good and so patient with us!
Great job! Proud of you! Chamomile Tea very relaxing!
Thank you!!
I will overcome❤ God bless you Steph

Hello
Thank you for your honesty. I read Allen Carr books. One was The easy way to stop smoking and I stopped smoking after 19 years. Then I read his book The Easy Way to Stop Drinking and I was able to stop drinking after daily drinking for 19 years. His books are worth a shot for someone trying to quit drinking or smoking.
Thank you again for your amazing videos... God Bless.
Awesome! Thank you!!
Thank you so so much for this video.
❤️❤️❤️
Welllll... You just told my story, just substitute dark chocolate for alcohol! God has been "talking to me" about this for 18 MONTHS! Honestly, this video is my line in the sand! Ty for your vulnerability and listening to His voice... You are not alone ❤
We’ve got this!! ❤️❤️
Read your sign behind you “ Love never fails” God will never fail us!! WE need to continue to lean on him always! I (WE) will overcome ❤️🙌🏾
Amen!!! 🙏🏻❤️
Even if the drinking didn't seem to bother your weight loss, you will probably find that you will lose more without the alcohol, because your body burns the alcohol before the fat so good luck with this next part of your journey and yes you're right you can do it with God's help.
Amen!! ❤️ I’ll definitely be and feel so much healthier without it!
Hi Steph, I have a Soda stream and make my own sparkling water, GAME CHANGER! No flavour, just sparkles!
Awesome!
I WILL OVERCOME... AND SO WILL YOU!! 😊
Amen!!
What a great video ❤
Thank you!
You are right it is a mental challenge but yes indeed God is the answer in helping us in this journey
Amen!!
I started my first egg fast yesterday!
Woohoo!! 🥳
I will overcome!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
I will overcome ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I Will Overcome
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Gid I need your strength with this food addiction.
Amen!!
I have never done an egg fast before… I will join you starting Thursday… Not exactly sure what the rules are other than eating eggs… I heard somebody say four eggs, an ounce of cheese and a tablespoon of butter per egg… If that’s the rules, that would be very easy for me to follow… Are you doing three day… Or five day egg fast?
Do you gain the weight back when you go off the egg fast?
I am over 60…
I have a playlist of all my egg fast videos you should check out before doing it! The rules are at least 6 eggs daily. 1oz healthy fat per egg (I don’t follow that to a tee) and up to 4oz of cheese daily! It’s important to know what to do after an egg fast too so you don’t gain your weight back. I have a couple videos on that as well in that playlist!
@@IncredibleShrinkingStephy thank you… watching them now…
@@IncredibleShrinkingStephy is there a limit to how many eggs you can eat per day?
I haven’t seen that stated any where…
@@go6clark191 I usually eat around 8 to 9 eggs daily however I recommend checking your macros (Carb Manager) and following that as far as protein goes to see how many you should eat 😊
I will overcome
🙌🏻🙌🏻
What alcohol were you having?
My drinks were vodka mixed with crystal light fruit punch and a splash of diet ginger ale
❤
❤️❤️
Have you looked into Celebrate Recovery?
I think it would be beneficial for my food addiction actually. I haven’t had any issues not drinking. But my sugar addiction is real and it’s fierce at times. I’ve heard of Celebrate Recovery but haven’t looked into yet!
Just start reading the word of God in the Bible ... and a dictionary and start studying the word of God in the dictionary and it will make you feel like a million bucks 😉 trust me😊
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Where is your husband when you were drinking?
No judgement.. just a accountability
He is here with me. We hang out, play games. He is not a drinker.
I will overcome!!
❤️❤️❤️
I will overcome ❤
Yes you will!!
