I don’t think alcohol is the only reason your life is unmanageable. A 16-hour work day would break just about anyone. What a crazy way to live.

We each have to figure it out for ourselves. But what it sounds like, just throwing this out there and you will make your own decisions of course, is you’ve been trying to do anything and everything to keep alcohol in your life. You’re doing everything except quitting alcohol and staying quit, including a geographical and working 7 days a week (which is not sustainable as you now seem to appreciate) and now even thinking of buying another home. You don’t need to do all this. You just need to stop drinking. You can stay your whole life in this bargaining mode, trying to keep alcohol in the equation and you can announce you’re quitting as many times as you wish, or you can genuinely start to put some sobriety time together and see the changes that that brings. I was drinking a big bottle of Smirnoff a day by the end. Rolling around in bed or my flat on my own, being sick, hallucinating, barely hanging on to the contract job I had, saying horrible things to the people I loved. Now I have my partner back and can spend every day present with our beautiful son and my career is getting back on track. Most of all, I don’t hate myself when I wake up in the morning. I’m starting to feel like me again. Whatever short and small buzz alcohol gave me is nothing compared to a life I’m proud of and being close to people I love who are proud of me too.

Working 75 hours a week is not going to help you or your family in the long run, your kids need you more than they need a house loan, how are you expecting to get sober when your expectations are so unrealistic? I think one day when you look back at this video you will see the chaos we see ❤

After watching a few of these vlogs I would seriously suggest you consider psychotherapy. It is evident that it is not just alcohol that is causing your conflict ; it is merely one of the symptoms. Best wishes.

I do sense that you need a psychologist. Your thoughts are haywire and please take things calmly. Life is good and you will be fine

You know whats a sure way to send you back on the path of alcoholism….trying to work 75 hours a week

You can’t fix a broken mind with a broken mind. Stop drinking, get a sponsor and work the steps. You already know this.

8 years ago today I had my last drink. I know where your mind is and I commend your honesty to put this on the interwebs BUT BRO you WILLLLLLLLLLLL fail on all your goals until you get help bud. Good luck!!

Tbh most of these things are surface level and the over work is also surface level. Until you gonna deal with the real reasons why you are doing this to yourself and stop the trying to bargain your way out of it without doing the hard psychological work I fear it is going to be roundabouts for you. Wishing you the best though. This whole video is you convincing yourself of something so you don’t have to deal with the real deep issues. You are bargaining with something and it is all the wrong things. Best of luck!

Out of interest how long do you plan on working 75 hrs a week for because even doing it sober there is a limit to how long you'll last before burning out, becoming depressed etc and what will likely happen once that kicks in is another relapse

Every time this channel pops up your back 🍷 Ng again saying I'm gonna stop it's been going on for years to round and round in circles

The way that you've set up your life sounds eerily similar to how people set up their lives near the end. You can't micromanage your way to sobriety. You can talk all the plans and never accomplish anything.

I was like this, got worse. Went to Mexico and did Iboga treatment. One week there and haven't drank in a year. My life has been so much better over the past year. I'm so glad I stopped drinking, my life was slowly going to shit, health and everything else.

22 Days Alcohol 🍷 Free!!!💯. I’m so Happy to be Free from it! Just Don’t Give Up ⬆️ If someone falls down 7 times, They Must Get Back Up 8!!! You are a very intelligent young man and a very hard worker too! You have two beautiful children and a Beautiful Life ahead of You!!!♥️ Don’t throw it all away. I know you can do this!💯 You Deserve To Have A Beautiful Life.👍

Your young, keep it up, I'm 44 and it gets worse,never let those "yets" stop you either like,"at least I never had to...and least this didn't happen ext...'' as those things will happen eventually, whatever they might be.

I see my reflection in your videos. My life as an addict is complete chaos too. I understand you well... Greetings from Poland.

Alcohol is ONLY a symptom of something much deeper. You're pissing in the wind, my friend.

Short term pain equals long term gains! I'm still on day one, folks,no matter if you just stop,use AA,go to detox or make a plan to stop, let's start getting our lives back together!

Your not providing a stable home if ur a drunk. Please get a grip. You can do all the above. It may take a couple more years to achieve it without working 7 days a week but you will be healthier and a better person and your family will be happier long term.

Putting the drink down is sadly just a beginning. If you are one of those real alcoholics, you need to change your thinking. Nothing I say will change your view, so I just hope one day you’ll find a great recovery path. In my experience money didn’t buy me happiness, recovery did. Best of luck 🎉

I'm 7 years sober, one day at a time. I could not have done this alone. I doubt whether you can either. Recovery is a right now task, not a tomorrow task. The addict is on the never never.....

It’s all about making KZfaq videos about alcohol becomes a bit of an addiction I would imagine

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Don’t you see your life is unmanageable because you’re not treating your alcoholism. Putting down the drink is not treating your alcoholism. You are a chronic alcoholic and you need to go to AA.

It's the First Step. I have been there. I quit having hangovers a long time ago, but because of my kindled brain, the withdrawal is horrible. And, it's kind of regardless of the time and amount of alcohol. Good luck on the sobriety. Always remember: It never gets better, only worse, I have some videos on that.

Sending love, you are doing amazing. You are inspiring me to look at my life and seeing how I can better myself, I feel like that is when you know ❤

You don't bsbe a hangover because you are dependent. Please slow down. Do one job, save up a bit slower, lead a better life. I genuinely wish you the very best sir

The first few days and weeks are easy to stop I have found...then I get bored and drink. Recovery groups and AA have not been very helpful long term either. Alcoholism is a real MF'er.

Day 12 sober for me, we can do this ❤

Thank you so much for your honesty...your helping me so much to be honest with myself...

Step 1 - We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable. Please please listen to what others are saying. Stop everything you are doing and get yourself to a meeting. Your focus is on all the wrong things my friend, I know because I’ve been where you currently are and before you know it the drink will slowly start stripping away everything you love one by one.

Wishing you all the strenght to do this ,Proud of you, but more important , be proud of Yourself!

I relapsed and lost my job

Hello from the USA. I’ve never been in your shoes but I understand it’s very difficult to get over alcoholism. Just wanted to wish you all the best in kicking the addiction. BTW, I’ve been to beautiful Townsville Australia many years ago. I hope you find the perfect property for your children and their mother. Good luck!

I relapsed many yrs ago in part from working far to many hours! Chasing money if ur really an addict never ends well!

I say this in love: Dude, get your head out of your ass. Stop babbling and making empty promises and trying to stop on your own. IT HASN’T WORKED. YOU SHOULDN’T EXPECT IT TO WORK.

You only stop drinking one day at a time. You have to fight the day you are in. it's not possible to look into the future to give up. It is good to fucus on why you dont drink and to do it for others, If you keep re lapsing get Ito rehab to learn how not to drink. I have my fingers crossed that your plan works,

I'm totally praying for you in my own way. Keep stepping forward You know what you have to do, and let's be real only you can do this Stand strong and small steps, sweetheart Don't overthink Before you know it, you're helping yourself in a good way Things will get clearer virtual hug mate

Good on you for putting your kids first. They are lucky to have you as a Dad and an ex. I didn’t have that and brought up three kids without that support. All you can do is keep trying and be proud of your efforts even if you occasionally slip up. Good luck with the efforts - you just have to keep going. You are setting yourself up though for a dramatic fall working that hard. I know because I also work that hard and have done for years. It will take unrelenting focus and some physical exercise which will help calm your mind. Good luck wish you the best.

Alcohol makes you feel depressed

Love the nails,Im a 35 year old male,Alcohol consumed my life for almost 15 years. Im almost 5 months sober wishing you the best. All I can say is you really have to want that change I believe in you mate I know its a struggle. Also have you looked into kratom it saved my life from alcohol but you gotta be careful as it can also be addicting but way less harmful than alcohol.

You are headed towards complete burnout if you plan on working that many hours. It will consume you and you will end up consuming even more alcohol. You need to unplug and care for yourself! Money is not more important than your well-being…and if you go down you won’t be able to provide a stable home for anyone! Disaster is just around the corner if you follow this path.

You can do it man💪

00.00 BAC since 30 Dec. '22. 🙏

Hi Jake, just want to say that I wish you the best to leave Alcohol out of your life and work hard to provide for your family and have a secure place for them to live productive and enjoyable lives.

I am not saying you’d need to do AA forever but what if you just hopped onto one zoom AA meeting a morning or evening just to gain some support during that tough span of time? its a place to find some of best support for people who have drank too much alcohol. You can hop on zoom meeting for free from the comfort of your home! You don’t even have to talk if you don’t want to. You could just listen in most meetings

Your working alot and your brain will say 'you deserve a drink tonight'. Only you know why you drink too much. You may know the root cause or.....the alcohol is hiding it away from you. It's very clever. Either way, you have to confront whatever it is head on. If not..... you will lose EVERYTHING.

You sound a lot better and a lot more motivated since your last upload. Got a good feeling about this one. Keep on keeping on my friend. Much love from the States.

I think you should try cutting back before going completely sober so it’s not so hard on yourself. Like say your having 8 standard drinks every night then just try and get that number lower every couple days until you’re at 0.

Rooting for you, mate. I’m new to the channel, but have gone back and watched some of the history. My dad was an alcoholic. It’s more than a mindset. It changes the way your brain works. Reward centres are rewired. Try and remember that when you are struggling. It’s not your fault, it’s an addiction. Don’t get the shits with yourself. Just keep pushing. The work weeks do sound a bit much…. Don’t burn yourself out. Just concentrate on getting this monkey off your back

You got this Jake

Talk is cheap. Go to AA, do a meeting each day, get a sponsor, work the steps. You’re ahead of yourself. Sobriety comes before everything…a job, a house, etc. Interesting, when you’re going to find the time to work out?

You have made your life unmanageable, not alcohol.

keep fighting buddy!

good on ya

Allen Carrs easy way to quit drinking, read it

Bravo. Stay locked in. David Goggins videos for 3 mo’s bro. Listen to positive people only for the next 3 mo’s. I am at day 101 today. I feel your emotions, i have been there. Please pray and ask ask for strength . Your babies will be so proud. Daily mantra helps too. Mine is “stay locked in” Dont focus on what you are giving up focus on Gains!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Annie Grace's The Alcohol Experiment. Alcohol is a depressant and increases anxiety.

Bargaining phases can last years and years and years and years and……..

we are done if we dont

Maybe replace drinking with a hash cookie or go for a walk or something. Working all the time isn’t going to achieve anything

I believe in you! I worked 60-80 hour weeks for many years. I think a good way to keep you motivated on staying sober would be to watch your older videos where you are doing really well. It will show you that you can and have done it before. Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦💚

You have a goal. I think the long hours and working 2 jobs is too much. You might end up fatigued depressed even, if you can't sustain everything!! Can your partner not help - Does she work?

I work a lot but you can't work that much. Better to earn more per hour. I hope you make it

Persevere please brother 👊🏼

love you...pray for you....Eileen in Missouri.

I know first hand how addictiin ruins your life. If you carry on down this road you will lose everything!

I say this from experience. You need to stop worrying about your ex wife and kids. As harsh as that sounds you need to focus on your recovery, you need to focus on yourself before you help anyone else. Good luck brother addiction is a monster. As cliche as it is the saying really is true that when the plane is crashing you have to put on your respirator before you help anyone else.

"Hi guys! this is it! it is Day One! it is final! yes I have said it a 1000 times. But this time it is different! Day One! again" bla bla bla))) you seem to be tryng to quit on will power, which you have a very limited supply of. As I said before you need therapy first

You have made big moves. Good for you.

in the ame boat not easy

Don’t run before you can walk mate sort the untreated alcoholism out before 2 jobs house and guna conker the world 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Did you quit, was your last drink on 15th?

I hope you can stop..I keep going in circles and it drives me mad

You need to find a group or a sponsor. I have seen several of your videos and you keep failing. You're clearly not strong enough alone, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. Please find help instead of trying and failing again and again.

I get that you think the jokes on us because you're secretly really rich witg all your working, but it's your health mate. I wish you the best anyway, and I hope u get out of the chaos.

Have you considered microdosing psilocybin?

I wouldn't even try to get a loan, until I've been sober for , at least , a couple of years, if I were you.

r u together with the other parent?

Whats better than waking up with the stomach in the mouth. Not Drinking BTW ...Go easy on yourself

Put in some q 10 and selenium and so on and see if this get it into a better balance, because all this drinking could have led to deficiencies a vicious circle, theese selenium and so on give a better sleap and fix up much and then exersise every day if a opportunity.sveating out in a sauna etc. I have newer drink like this, moore a occationally week end .once a mounth, but i tryed one year total sober taking up theese tablets as i used before as "a hobby" that is a gamechanger, sleap is like in the 20 s and i just quit even the week end drinking, i go out sometimes but drink alk free beer. I should not promote but Pharmanord is good in this. "Hit hard " on the q 10 150 mg in start and down to about 100 . (Even 1500 is not dangerous) but you should not hit to heavy on because it start step by step doing it,s job.

Reach out for some help, bro. Get your ass into treatment or at the very least a therapist. Your thinking has become quite cloudy right now. You cannot provide while you’re broken. Stop being so proud. Sorry if I came across blunt but we care about u bro and lots of us have been in your shoes before and see ourselves and recognize some stuff. Also buying a house in this condition is a recipe for disaster, your kids and loved ones need a healthy you, not some house.

Don't over-analyse and make unrealistic goals. First you've got to be off it for a few weeks to find some clarity of thought. You might then see a good path forward. Making pledges whilst you're on alcohol is not going to convince others of your sincerity.

You can't overcome alcoholism with workouts and energy bars. You need professional help. I was an alcoholic for years until I asked my GP to refer me to an agency to help addicts - I am now sober for 10 years.

Eh sobriety comes first so the things that matter dont come lasy

Correction, YOU have made your life hard; stop blaming drink

Did u paint ur fingernails pink

Um maybe you need to see a psychiatrist as I don’t think doing this by yourself is working . Your lifestyle is not sustainable. I see this as just another clip of saying new day, new me. It’s getting a bit repetitive and pointless at this stage. Sorry to be harsh but you really need to seek professional help.

You might have bipolar? You seem like you get down for weeks then up for weeks? Just a thought.

Why don't you do 12 months in AA, look at the hole in your soul (we call it a spiritual malady) then come back and do a video? alcohol is a symptom of the problem you're the actual problem as you're the alcoholic - alcohol - ism the ism means '''In side me'' you MUST understand your illness you have no idea brother. I know you have good intentions but you're not getting sober any time soon.

Why don't you jump back on the bong? It's a lot healthier

I don’t totally understand your situation but why do you feel the need to provide for your “family” who don’t seem to be willing to contribute as well? What kind of work are you doing? Menial stuff or are you qualified in something?

Maybe the pink nails is the problem no the drink

You are a word salad , lots of words but no content ? ! You talk too much , just save your energy for quiet change x 😅

KZfaq money wont be enough dude, get a job,

Find another alcoholic to talk to. And I saw in another video of yours that you don't believe in the word alcoholism. Probably time to rethink that too. You aren't thinking yourself out of this addiction. Take it from me- someone who did the same shit you are doing. (I just didn't post it on the internet). Put the internet down. Go get face to face with someone who has gone to the depths of hell with alcohol and connect with them. Not trying to be a dick or anything. Sometimes the truth hurts. The algorithm brought me here bc I occasionally watch videos related to alcoholism, and you live On the other side of the planet, but I feel your pain and talking to the internet isn't going to fix shit. Good luck.
