Hitting rock bottom and losing the one you’re incredibly in love with. The struggle of losing everything and beginning a journey to sobriety.
I’VE HIT ROCK BOTTOM. ALCOHOL HAS DESTROYED MY LIFE
I’ve been a super heavy drinker since my teens. I’ve almost lost my job, I’ve lost my fiancée, and I’m going to college full time and support my two kids as a single dad. Enough is TOO MUCH! It’s time to stop the booze for good! Join me in a journey to sobriety!

All these comments gatekeeping rock bottom. Ill do you all the favor: you don't hit rock bottom till your dead. There, so unless you are dead you can't comment on rock bottom. Obvious hyperbole aside, can we please stop focusing on the nuaunces and give people who are struggling some empathy/sympathy.
Same age as you bro , same situation , sober 4 days now, getting blood work done and I’m scared of the results
Pint?
@@hmq9052 came back mostly clean, a bit high cholesterol tho
@@mattbrick1246 No I mean do you fancy a pint?
@@hmq9052 no sir
I've never been addicted to anything and I've always tried my best to be a decent person and no person has ever wanted to date me, yet even someone like you can get further than me. This world is unfair for sure
Unlike him you are just unaware of what you need to work on and unwilling to take on the challenge.
@@333Ulysses unwilling? I tried for 20 years to be the best I can be
@@joshb7326 sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine what that feels like. Why do you think no one wants to date you?
@@retrocessionworks Because I tried my best for 20 years and it was always a mixture of the girl liking someone else imstead or the girl saying "youre a nice guy but just not my type". Every experience I've had has always been rejection
@@joshb7326 Understood. I don't know you, so nothing I'm saying or asking is a judgment. Also, I'm not bragging. Seriously trying to help. I was extremely skinny, shy, and awkward for my first 27 years of life. I've definitely gotten better looking with age, which isn't saying much! But even during my least attractive, least secure phases, I was able to date because I was interesting. Being passionate about life and constantly improving my communication skills was what helped the most, I believe. And I'm not talking about putting on airs of confidence and trying to dominate conversations. It's about active listening most of all. Asking questions, being genuinely interested in the response. Not thinking about what I'm going to say when someone else is talking. But it's also about not being passive and trying to ingratiate myself with women. Women aren't looking for a "nice guy" first. "Nice" is the bare minimum. It can't be the focus, and it doesn't win any brownie points. Being interesting is the key, but not faking it. Being deeply passionate is what it's about. Can't fake that for long. Sorry to go on for so long, but I really feel for you. Of course, you're free to ignore, and I don't know you, but I believe you can find your match. You've probably just been going about it the wrong way.
Wonder if this guy is still alive
Sadly it’s a tale as old as time. Loses everything and wants to make things right with his finance. Makes a bunch of promise and rides a pink cloud until life shows up and he drinks again. Hopefully I’m wrong but I’ve been through it a bunch.
Sounds like you quit because of yours fiancé and things didn’t go the way you had hoped. Hope I’m wrong brother. 8 years no booze here. It’s a one day at a time deal. Go to AA and raise your hand
Alcohol is the leading cause of depression. It gets worse if you continue to use
I was about to get married.alcohol destroyed my marriage. Everytime I drink something bad happens in my life. Insanity is real. 😢
A year ago today this vid was made. Hope you've found peace brother.
Join the club. It has definitely ruined my life. & it still is & im much older ugh
Allow me to explain "rock bottom". It is a moment of unadulterated honesty with ourselves that we have reached the end of our endurance, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Followed immediately by the willingness to do exactly as we're told, by people who have been there. Which means actually PHUCKING doing it!
Stop. The Rock bottom crap. U have a roof over your head
You are not at rock bottom. You miss your fiancee for all the things she did for you. You feel like you are doing, by "planning". You have not taken ownership of your behavior or situation, it's clear you are still excusing yourself and deflecting blame based on the language you are using.
Cool hat!
Its been 11 months. How about an update?
He is here under my bed in Tadzikistan.
Look your 38, and yeah, youve lost some and realized your behavior with alcohol is causing it. Now it may FEEL like rock bottom at the moment but I caution you that you CAN lose more if you dont get straight. There is NO way but the HARD way. I too have had my life messed up from alcohol but you CAN stop it. Go see someone at an AA meeting and they can direct you to resources. You will have to lose "friends" and change your lifestyle to survive this. Its worth it. Do it now. Ask for help.
Every drink is borrowed happiness from tomorrow!
The problem with that statement is the idea that drinking brings happiness at all
@@badgerd327 well it does but it's fleeting hence it's addictive.
I have a sneaky view your privileged and making you tube videos so 1day at a time theory
You have a roof over your head and camera that's no where rock bottom,try being a man stop sooking😢
You are aware that rock bottom is not a physical destination right? Meaning, each individual CHOOSES their rock bottom. It can always get worse than where you’re at. But if you’re tryna say he’s not at rock bottom cuz a roof over his head and a camera, you are ignorant my friend. You’re projecting so strongly it’s visible thru a comment thread.
any updates?
Sold the house for a bottle of vodka.
One day at a time dude... 1 year of sobriety would be great but all you have to do is not drink today. Get some help and support.
15 days is pretty good - very good actually - when you’re deep into the drinking life. Most people have to quit many times before achieving sustained sobriety. My main tip: Eat healthy food - in moderate amounts - in restaurants that don’t sell alcohol.
How are you doing?
Milkthistle is great for the liver. Thats the hardest hit organ when drinking.
One day at a time Brother 😊
All power to you, but be careful brother. You still have a house? Goomg to school, have your kids? There are bottoms , way below where you are at. Hopefully its enough. Stay strong.
Nah, this ain’t rock bottom. That’s when everyone stops talking to you, you’re unemployed, homeless, and hospitalized for various reasons.
That's one person's rock bottom. Not everyone's. This shouldn't need to be said. Use your head.
@@twassell25 There are psychological differences and subjective interpretations but there is most definitely an objective rock bottom. Hopefully this is as far as he’ll go. However, I’ve seen far worse and known people that continue to degenerate. Use your head pal.
@@Gordy-fj1jytbh I agree with you. I think his fiancé gave him an ultimatum. He can only do it for himself not because someone else is attempting to “force” him. I wish him the best.
your are/were doing this for your wife, not for yourself. This usually leads to failure, although I hope you succeeded!
Is he back on the booze?
Surprising amount of negative comments here. It's not nice to see.
Alcohol hasn't destroyed your life, you did. No one put it in your mouth but you. Take personal responsibility for what you do.
Sounds like an informed response from a real genuine person lmao. Alcoholics are fully aware who out it in their mouth you absolute idiot. What a dumb comment this is. Just woke up and decided to attack a guy suffering… top notch human for sure.
You clearly have zero understanding of Alcohol Use Disorder. Even though the reams and reams of research that completely contradicts your ‘advice’ is literally at your fingertips. Such ignorance is a thing of the past my friend, maybe it’s time for you to catch up? Or shut up. One or the other.
@@pennyfleming3006 Catch up? How does one "catch up" to ones self? As a recovering alcoholic, it wasn't until I learned about Buddhism and it's philosophy about our existence that I realized that we are the authors of our own life story. Getting to know your true self is, I admit, very difficult but doable. After that, the rest is easy. I have the utmost compassion for those addicted to anything, be it harmful or benign. Addictions are merely the worst manifestation of desire. When you say "such ignorance is a thing of the past", I think it's self contradictory.
@@niemi5858 It seems that your compassion isnt well worded. It ultimately doesn’t matter what philosophy aids a person to recover from addiction. Its the recovery that matters and I commend you on yours. It’s certainly a process that’s not easy. My disagreement with your response is that you are using what works for you as a tool that will work for all and, as the last decade of multidisciplinary research clearly shows, is that that is simply not the case. You would know that traditional ‘rehabs’ have an abysmal success rate. Still only 2-4% after only one year. AA also has similar success rates over time. I would not be surprised if that knowledge is what drove you further afield in your own journey to sobriety. But in addiction we now know that one size does not fit all and it’s clear that its more than helpful to not try to show any addict their way to sobriety. It’s clear that a myriad of options, of paths if you will, is showing far greater statistically outcomes.
@@niemi5858Get outta here with that garbage 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video isn’t for us. He was speaking to the fiancé. I wonder if it worked.
Your name reminds me of a quote: "Enough is a feast."
Exact same thing happened to me. Been to rehab. Going to AA. Been sober for a year. My girl told me same thing. But sadly she just disapeared more the more sober i became. I said so many mean things too. I guess she thinks i really meant all the mean things i said. Anyways im feeling real good anyhow. Just got to accept things the way they are. Good luck to ya.
love you man. we got this
he dead
Pulling for you, man - I've been on my own journey last couple years and it's totally worth it. One foot in front of the other!
Let's hope he is waiting for the one year mark to surprise us all with his new and beautiful alcohol-free life. I can already picture it.
He died. RIP.
There really is no room in today's society for any kind of addiction. I quit alcohol and drugs. I recently quit refined addictive sugars. Let's all try to heal.
some news ? did you succeed to stop alcohol, or reduce at least....give us some news ! courage my guy,you are not he only one in this situation,
Had Philo beer last night.8% wasn't bad.
When you make rock bottom videos and you’re anything but, you make alcohol look much less dangerous than it actually is.
Do you not understand everyone has a different rock bottom. I think making a personal video for his own therapeutic purposes (not for you, me, or anyone else), to try and grow and improve one-self to become a better person is an admirable thing.
Losing the love of your life qualifies for rock bottom to myself personally... Hang on in buddy...
I wish my boyfriend would think like that 😢💔
@@vixter28 Frankly...how low can you go from there?? I still have mine Thank God
Your kids need you, seems you're the only one they have left.
It doesnt look rock bottom
I know rock bottom is different for everyone but this is pretty light. You’re lucky.
Everyone's rock bottom is different but the feelings are the same , nobody is lucky to reach their rock bottom. Have some empathy this guy is at his personal bottom he doesn't need strangers saying he should be worse to be validated. Shame on you
@@adamkenny1705 Shame on you. I disagree. I don’t think a guy hitting rock bottom should be sending strangers videos so he can “make money.” Also, I didn’t say he was lucky to hit rock bottom. I commented that I didn’t think his was that bad. Come on, “my gf that broke up with me who still talks to me,” is a pretty good scenario. You are a dunce.
Great video
I'm 6 years sober now. I Binge drank for 6 years straight after my divorce. Had 4 Dui's. I totally understand what you're going through. Stay strong bro.
Psychedelics saved me from an alcoholic death. If nothing else has worked for you (anyone reading this) then try some mushrooms.
Too hard to acquire.
THis is really great to hear!
