The new year is like an alternate universe compared to where I was at the start of last year. Y'all stay safe, remember to love yourself and that you are enough. Good news: I got my drivers license.

By the time i reached 28 years, i was drinking 2 bottles of Scotch whiskey a day. I did give up and after a week, i was in a mental hospital, because i was hallucinating and was a danger. I only stayed in for 3 weeks, and was deemed safe to go out. I had to have liver function tests every 2 months, as my liver was damaged. I would then see my GP a week after the tests to get the results. After the third sets of tests i was told my liver had repaired. My GP then told me i could drink beer as this was not addictive. 3 years later i was drinking 24 cans of Special Brew, a day, a type of lager sold in the UK. Hideous drink, my weight had dropped to 91lb, because i was just not eating, and had become extremely ill. With the help of my wife i managed to get a home detox, and by the Grace of God, i have now been clean and sober for the best part of 35 years. I know how hard it is to stop drinking, hardest thing i have ever done for myself in my life, so for those who are struggling to give up, best wishes, hope you all achieve sobriety and may your Gods watch over and Bless you.

@araxxi27pogo865 ай бұрын
@@oldmanhendo7183 that's what I am trying to do this time around also. It's disturbing to think that an addiction can be SO powerful that it actually takes you to these extremes and depths before you actually make the decision to stop and EVEN THEN there's no guarantee that you won't go back to it.. it's actually horrifying!! Like I have been in some extremely dangerous conditions and in and out of hospitals and I've lost SO MUCH through my drinking and it has done A LOT of damage and then I'd quit and manage to stay sober for a few months and I'd feel way better and begin to regain some health and wellness and I'd think that I'd like to stay sober for good and then seemingly out of nowhere I'd just start drinking again.. it's sinister the way that it works on your memory to suddenly warp your perception of how bad things actually were and what made you stop in the first place.. suddenly it seems like "oh, it wasn't THAT bad.." etc. and it creeps up on you like some sort of twisted "dark nostalgia" (as I like to call it) that messes with your head and starts making you miss it and feel like somehow like you are almost.. lonely(?) without it.. and memories of good times are altered to make it appear as though they were only a good memory BECAUSE of the alcohol, when in actual fact it would've been a good memory either way.. it didn't require alcohol to make it good.. but that's another one of the insidious traits of addiction.. That's why I can't handle people that have never experienced addiction firsthand blaming and criticizing us and calling us weak or accusing us of behaving this way on purpose and all the rest of it because WHY would we want to subject ourselves to all of that sufferance and place our lives in constant danger for f**king fun!? And because THAT is what we want!? It's a ridiculous claim to even make. I'm sorry to hear that it got that serious and bad for you and I wish you all the best in your life and your ongoing journey of sobriety!!

About 13 months ago i went through horrible withdrawals. I was waking up with the shakes for about 2 weeks and still drinking every night. It was my darkest time of drinking going a half gallon of crown a night. I woke up one morning and started getting hot/cold flashes and shaking/sweating like crazy. Then I got horrible anxiety that'd hit me in waves. Some hallucinations. Worry of having a seizure. It scared me so much I made it 103 days with no alcohol. Then I started drinking 1 time every couple of weeks for a couple months than once a week. Then twice a week. And the last couple of weeks I've been drinking a 24 pack 5 nights a week taking a day off after 3 nights of drinking and I'm worried I'm falling back into the hole again. I want to get better and I know I shouldn't keep drinking. Withdrawals are the most horrifying thing I've been through and don't wish it on anybody. I'm just ranting now but sobriety is a good thing and I hope everyone can find their way out.

I care about you and I want you to get better so you can get on with living your life! It gets SOOOO EASY after awhile.

I’ll hit 5 years sober this October 18th. At my absolute worse I was drinking a liter of vodka and 2 40s of Mal Liquor a day. I remember literally having to keep a bottle hidden under my bed because I couldn’t even get out of bed without a huge gulp of vodka. Those shakes are the absolute worse. For those wondering how serious alcoholism is during Covid a worldwide pandemic Liquor Stores were considered essential because alcohol withdrawals can kill you. Alcoholism cost me everything but at least I’m sober.

I was alcohol dependent until I developed acute pancreatitis and ended up in an induced coma and on life support for a week.. Spent 2 and half weeks in hospital total, lost 10 days of my life because of the coma and concoction of drugs I was on and overall it was a seriously traumatic experience, delirium is no joke.. 4 weeks sober, detoxed me in hospital, no cravings, no thoughts, nothing.. I think trauma of going through what I went through in hospital flipped a switch in my brain.. No matter what happens in life I’ll never touch an alcoholic drink again.

He said his liver was bad and he was going to have surgery and get better so he could go home. His wife and 12 year old son came to visit and that broke me in half to see this boy looking at his dad in the bed, knowing there was no liver surgery and his dad was going to die. My husband was sent home on Wednesday and the man died acouple weeks later. His wife was the manager of a store in town and she offered me her husband's medical equipment for my husband 😢 She was absolutely devestated as she told me about the alcoholism. He wasnt ever violent, just self-medicating for depression and he wouldnt go seek help. His son was inconsolable. So sad and preventable!

@Meowsweoq Hey thanks for sharing. Yeah that's exactly it, withdrawal tremors. It's horrible. People will go into seizures sometimes as well. Certain hospitals and detox centers have some good ways to help monitor your health and provide medications to assist you through detox. It's very difficult and alcohol can be dangerous to detox off. It sounds like you have a really strong mindset to quit. I just had someone in his 60's drinking 2L of vodka everyday. He soon coded (heart attack) at the hospital soon after getting him there. He didn't make it. The reality is brutal, but it's hard seeing people go through that. All his family left him. He was living on an inflatable mattress in an apartment and not getting up to use the bathroom. Empty bottles everywhere. It's tragic that people go through that. His neighbor called 911 because he was the only one who cared. Whatever you're going through I hope that you find the strength to quit. Fill your life with awesome adventures and great people. You can do it!

Definitely. I was there myself. I'll tell ya, if you wanna know if hell is real, keep drinking. It gets way worse than this. I somehow survived, (yes, I'm sober now and in my mid fifties) but I was in and out of the hospital 5 times over a two-yr period. I was so bad that I had to set the alarm every 20 minutes for a sip or all hell would break loose. I was not just shaking, but my head was pounding, my thoughts were completely haywire, the upper right quadrant of my gut was tbrobbing - the liver - and the pancreas (acute hepatitis and pancreatitis). I'd crap myself because it was just all black liquid that I couldn't hold in, I had constant nosebleeds (platelets), I would keep a pale nearby because I often threw up while trying to force vodka down my throat... The last time I went to the ER and my BP was 190/120. I needed friends to take me because I couldn't walk. How I survived, I have no clue, but it took those 5 hospitalizations, losing my job of twenty years (of course), several stints at the local psych hospital and a very expensive rehab to get sober. My doctor said I am a walking miracle. It may be a behavioral problem to start with, but once you start getting nervous (at all) without a drink, you are officially physically addicted - that's your nervous system overcompensating at lowering your GABA level because the chronic consumption of alcohol has artificially raised it - a change that will never reverse because your nervous system has a "memory" called longterm potentiation - so, once addicted, always addicted. There are no exceptions to this rule. It can take decades like it did with me or just a couple of years like it did with a friend of mine - who was so bad she jumped off of a bridge to be free of it. Yes, she's dead. Some people - perhaps the majority can drink socially, but anyone who abuses it long enough is guaranteed to become addicted. Glad these warnings are sinking in. And also, thank you for making me feel compelled to tell you my story - I still need to remind myself. Stay well, my friend.

My husband has been sober for almost 4 years and I understand how difficult it was for him to chose his family over addiction as he tried but failed before and already lost his family once; his first wife and daughter due to alcohol. We are in love and he constantly tells me he is the happiest he has ever been even though it’s sometimes still hard to stay sober. I love him so much and I am so very proud of him. Every time we are in a social setting that he turns down a drink or just asks for something non alcoholic he looks at me and winks and mouths I love you. I nearly tear up every time. He’s even gone out alone and he’ll text me I love you and sends me a pic if his non booze drinks when he does that and I am not there to see it. Even his first wife is so grateful and happy because he knows he’s a better dad to their daughter. Stay strong and know that every single minute is a huge win.

My dad died last year in June from liver cirrhosis. He was sick for a long time. He would drink every night after work, but he had been doing that his entire life. When he retired at 63, he was sick with bad migraines every day caused by a severe eye injury he got during eye surgery a few years before he died. So, he was drinking more and more to help with the pain. He told me and my mom that he didn't want to go to a doctor because he didn't want to end up like his parents or his older brother, where they drag your life out for potential years of misery just to have more time. He had made his peace a long time ago and just wanted to go at home with all of his family around. So, that's what we did. About 2 years after he retired, he died, and the way you explained it in the video is exactly how it happened. I remember lying beside him and trying to breathe at the same time and the same way he was breathing, and it was almost impossible. It hurt so bad. So, the best decision you can make in life is to just stay away from alcohol. Also, my dad was a high-functioning alcoholic, and nobody that visited ever even knew he was drinking. I never saw him drunk a single time, nor angry. He was an amazing and loving dad.

I hit the bottle hard for 14 years and I've been sober 4 years and life is definitely starting to get harder and suck now. I miss being able to turn to alcohol for emotional comfort. I see it as a test of my sobriety. I'm just taking it one day at a time. If I have to go to bed early and cry myself to sleep I'll do it but I can't go back to drinking myself to death.

Must be rough, brotha. I’ve been blessed with the exact opposite of you. Done my fair share of recreational drug abuse over 20 years ago but was able to just get up one morning and walk away from it all just because I was sick of it. Never looked back or had a second guess about it. Guess I’m VERY lucky in that aspect. Stay strong.👍🏻👍🏻

I am a recovering alcoholic, currently 7 months sober. And I just want to say to anyone battling alcoholism sobriety is worth it! It’s hard at first, but once you get sober you’ll see just how worth it sobriety can be. I don’t miss hangovers, nausea or IVs.
@theinfiniterabbithole1969 Жыл бұрын
I ended up in the hospital a few times because I would go on 3 day binge drinking sprees without eating anything. My problem is the next day when I wake up from a night of drinking is that I won’t eat any food and I will keep drinking more booze, it might be a blessing in disguise because it starts making me shut down.. I am currently trying to work on my sobriety, the last episode was 3 weeks ago. The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem. I will pray for all the people out there with the same problem that I have, may god bless your soul.

Sounds stupid but it gave me somthing to do with my hands etc. And the process of makeing it the rituals

I've been sober for 5 years. I was a binge drinker. I'd go on runs of 4 days and take 3 off. I was 37 and had nothing no job, no car living in public housing. I remember at just 37 how bad the hangovers used to be. On the 4th day, I'd stop, and that first day was terrible. And by the third day, I was ready to destroy myself all over again. Get sober folks find that higher power ask for help choose life.

The hardest part about trying to quit is the hangover. To absolutely cure a hangover take a Percocet or lortab. Maybe need 2 or 3 per day. Do it for 3 to 4 days and you should be dried out and not addicted to opiates because you only took them for 4 days. The problem is getting your hands on the pills. But they ARE the hangover cure. Another helper is maybe a low dose Klonapin for a while. You have to go to a certain kind of Doctor to get them(psychiatrist). For anxiety. You can do it!!!!!!
