Wrong I'm a drinker and earn a comfortable living, a loving family and everything a man needs Don't paint a broad brush because of a few bad actors out there you sound foolish 😂
So true. And it robs you of everything. If someone dies- remember them with a drink. If aomwone gets married- celebrate with a drink. If its rainy, or sunshine, and so on... there always is an ezcuse. You think you are not hurting anyone else, but you are. I know. As i sit here. The absolute last member of my family, the last member who holds the last name before extinction. I buried 8 family members. The last being my 45 year old brother. Who depression of our Moms death caused 6 months off binge drinking, leading to multi organ failure. I was 38, alone after taking my Dad off support, my brother off support, my Mom dying in an accident (the only one not alcohol related) 3 cousins, 1 aunt and 2 uncles from cirrhosis. Its an ugly death. Brain damage from liver and kidneys no longer able to filter the poison... causing very scary hallucinations. Just to fall into a bottoming out blood pressure sleep from the dialysis taking out as much fluid as possible but not enough... and your body cant handle any more. All with no pain killers- because you cant filter them. I sit here at 43. Lonely. Sad. Grieving. And im angry. Because even if its an addiction, it made me feel so used and abused by the people who i tried to care for and begged for to stop. Alcoholism changes rhe brain composition. Mean things said, things they would never have said. Things they forgot... echoing in my mind. They were all broke too. No jobs. Just enough for the booze. I went into debt burying them, lost my car and apartment. Moving into a friend's home... And all i have is a room in a basement, shared with boxes FULL of non valuables, stained clothing and junk, with a rare sentimental item here and there. Don't waste your life. Or others. Dont take your life or health for granted. Dont ignore you are not only hurting yourself, but your family. But i havent let this lead me to booze. Never will. Dont leave them alone like mine did me.
Seems like rough existance,. My heart is there with you I felt every word you've written. Stay strong and take it easy on yourself don't tourment yourself cause life is suffering after all. Love ❤
I have recently given up. Your story has brought up feelings for me to stay strong from this pain that it’s brought me. God bless you and I hope you heal from Your trauma. ❤
Congratulations!! I’m on day 3 it’s hard I’m watching all these videos hoping the craving goes away.! I passed so many stores on my way home from work and kept telling myself keep driving you don’t need it keep driving!!
@@wandaoutlaw12 On RUclips you'll find a guy named The stop drinking Expert. Just continuously watch all his videos. He has a totally different approach than to quitting drinking. You can do this. I promise
I always drank and went to Partys until a friend of me died and allot of other things happened and I didn’t quite know how I should deal with it and that’s when I started drinking to forget I drank very often alone till i didn’t even knew what was happening around me 18 days ago I was so hurt I drank so much alone I started vomiting on myself in the bathtub wich was the wake up call I joined the anonymous alcoholics and I’m clean since 18 days now it’s a tough battle but I hope I can stay sober stay strong out there guys alcohol is a dangerous drug
I'm 20 M, I live alone and constantly think about my dad who passed away 7 years ago and my gf who lives in another country. Alcoholic is my only comfort, I've never done any drugs or of the kind. Matter of fact I'm 5 drinks down right now. What do you guys think. Is it okay for me to be doing this?
Sorry about your father, but it’s Not ok brother. You’re just physically and mentally digging yourself a deeper hole everytime you drink just to numb the pain. I Can tell you had a great father, and I know this is not the way he would want you to cope. God bless and keep strong
No brother evry drink is one step closer to your grace take it from a 24 years old who barely started binge drinking at 22 works out and eat healthy but now got all kind of weird health shit he is barely just recovering from

Hello to everyone , for me ... Intellectually I understand the value of moderation , however once I put that first one in all that self knowledge is completely useless.
Imagine if the companies that make alcoholic products actually listened to this. Alcohol just like everything else only becomes bad when you overdose on it. Just take in moderation
@@Katherine_xsNo they are not, all intoxicants are forbidden. Even cigarettes are forbidden because it harms you’re body, anything that harms you’re body is forbidden! That doesn’t mean that Muslims don’t do it, some Muslims smoke drink and take drugs, they are not following 100% of Islamic way. If you follow 100% Islamic way, and be a proper Muslim and be obedient to Allah (God in Arabiac) you will stay away from everything that harms you and distorts you’re mind like alcohol drugs porn etc!
All the above and then some, almost hit rock bottom some years back. It's tough and sadly, not everyone will succeed, I'm the lucky one, 16 years zero alcohol.
I’m almost at rock bottom now and I’ve decided to do something about it before it’s too late.. I’ve embarrassed myself enough blacking out and not remembering how dumb and crazy I looked .. change has to happen now
@@daviddawes293 Good luck David, I wish you the best, it will be tough, but you can do it, stay strong, its mental strength. Part of the path to succeed is letting go of the bad apple's in your life who drink with you, encourage you. I know you can do it. Cold turkey and positive people around you will make it possible. Stay safe and stay strong David.🙏🙏👍
@@rubendelara861 thanks so much.. it’s been helpful talking to people in the comments.. my family finally saw me at blackout worse and I don’t want anyone to ever see me like that again.. you’re an incredible source of support.. thx 🙏 again
Awesome advice, but I don't get it. I'm drinking this shit thats killing me, but it gives me some sort of ego till the hangover kicks in which is horrendous. When I get off it I feel great physically for a while and thats when I meet the sober me again. And he's a lame boring awkward douchebag, I tried to kill with booze 20 years ago. Only all of my friends have moved on, gone through that stage of thier lives. I realise I've been drinking alone for ten years. Its pretty fucking terrifying
Corrupt and stupid doctors in the 1980s and 90s said a drink a day was actually good for you, which is of course total nonsense. That's what his comment is probably referring to.
I don’t know why I like drinking so much how does someone figure that out? I can already see every time I ask my girlfriend we should go get something to get drink she get This annoyed or idk some face cause she know I’m gonna finish the bottle

How much cash you saved?
Loving it 😐
Congratulations 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Well done
Full of regrets during hangover is what made me stop 🛑
Yooo goin thru it rn 🤦♂️
Alcohol takes the pain away till it becomes the pain that can only be eased by drinking alcohol.
So true
Perfectly said. I told myself it was "relieving stress". But now IT'S the stress.
So glad it only took me 45 years to say NO to alcohol!
I can so relate!!
😂😂😂 it’s never too late ….you know if you stop drinking. ❤❤❤
I’m 39 and still struggling to say no.
Try marijuana….

Hard to except, hard to change...sadly
Drinking ruins your life if you don’t have the ability to control yourself.
It’s entirely possible to be the seldom glass guy.

so good to c well known faces showing the world that nobody is exempt from addiction and that no matter what there is a way out..great vid
It's interesting how many people who look like they are living the most desirable lives are suffering incredibly.
They speaking nothing but facts.
I want to be free from everything especially Alcohol starting tomorrow for sure...
This is like early stage alcoholism. Late stage is antisocial, drinking a half gallon a day, running from withdrawals, until you hit the grave.
2 1/2 years sober ❤️
Crazy hear alcoholic stories. I drink one or two times a week, sometimes none for weeks.
Day 1.
Good luck my brothers and sisters
77 days my life butter not in the gutter 😊
