I knew I was an alcoholic soon as I started liking it so much I couldn't stop at 1 or 2 . When I began drinking it was to get drunk not to just feel good & stop . There was no denial maybe because my parents drank & called themselves alcoholics . Most have to reach rock bottom , some find their bottom & decide to die there . Cold turkey for me after drinking a 12 or 18 pack of beer a day . Working on 5 years sober . When people ask me if I drink I tell them " Not any more I had my share & a little of someone else's too lol "
When i quit. It seemed like it was everywhere! On television. Everybody on tv was having a great time with a drink or beer in their hand! Commercials always had people drinking. Even shows or movies. I was listening to a talk show on the radio. And John Entwistle from the Who was on. He made alot of sense when he said, people have to realize, not every day is gonna be a big party! Normal people drnk once in a while. Not every day!
I'm taking care of a dying ex who has stage 4, it's a freaken nightmare!! I call him Mayhem because that what he is. I wish this on no one, there should be a place drunks can go drink & pass on together. This is too much, Lord have Mercy 🙏
this is hard for me , im 22 yeras old , and never realsied i have a problem , this helped me alot , i have drank my half bottle of rum and would normally go get more , but i FINALLY STOPPED MYSELF and i have never been so proud in myself
Thank you for all your comments, particularly the honesty of many of you.
It's a terrible decease. One day at a time I'm making ammends to my Family. My kids. I used to bargain with myself saying if I would only drink lager. I reached my rock-bottom. Bad as it was,. I hung around AA for years without a drink feeling miserable. Lying about how good I felt. It wasent until I found a wonderful sober Sponser that I was finally forced to look at me and not others. That was the most sobering experience for me, going through the 12 steps and working them on a daily basis. Yes I did have all these conflicting emotions and so much fear. When I faced my demons head on, I was free.. Good luck mate. Rooting for yer.
this is good practical advice. try to sit it out.
Thank you so much this channel is awesome God bless you I pray for nothing but the best for you and for your future
I knew I was an alcoholic the moment I stopped drinking !!!
I am saving this video and re-watching it every step of the way. Thank you.

The biggest mistake people make is thinking they have to BATTLE alcohol. They don't, they need to understand themselves. The problem is in their mind, not in the bottle. How do I know? i once drank 2 bottles of spirits a day, plus methylated spirits, surgical spirits and more.... I am now 20 years sober. Join me at
It doesn’t matter if people “only” drink beer. Alcohol is alcohol. Alcoholics makes so many excuses for themselves, the denial state. I’m glad to see so many alcoholics here, means they know they have a serious problem. Also glad to see so many wanting to quit. I hope you all reach out for it, quitting needs a special support system. I wish the person, I’m strongly considering to leave, will reach out and get help. I know I can’t help him when he doesn’t want help. He lost his job, now me and only drinking friends that he rarely sees, and a very enabling mother who just makes it all worse. If he keeps drinking then I’m not sure if it’s him or his mother going to die first, and that is a tragic thought to have even to begin with. The person I’m talking about drinks 6-8 (most likely more) every day, smoke weed and is now also on prescription pills as beta blockers and anxiety pills, heavy cocktail. It’s slowly suicide.
I used to drink a fair bit but I consider it a lesser method of intoxication. It makes you feel heavy and tired and then shaken up when you wake up. Yuk, I’m happy with a pint of cider every few days, if I want to have a good time I use stimulants. I am not saying I won’t destroy myself with the odd line or two, but I am sure I’ll never go to oblivion with booze because real life is preferable to excessively drinking. Stimulants are no fun in excess either but I don’t think people are aware enough of the negative effects of withdrawal and tend to medicate that with more of the same. One has to mix the pleasures up a bit so you don’t get too clobbered by any particular one. Moderation in all things.....
I really like the purple lamp in the backround.
There is absolutely nothing a person can do to help or convince an addict to quit. We beg, we pray, we offer tough love, advise, and anything at our disposal. But the true addict or alcoholic must drink to live at a certain stage. Horrible. Divine intervention is probably the only way of help
Excellent, I just sent this to a friend in need. Clear and concise information. Right now my friend has relapsed after a year and is depressed. I believe this podcast can remind him, that he is not alone and he can do this. Thank you so much. Love and light to all those who are, have been, and are on their journey, God bless you, you can do it. Much love.
I've heard it many times and I've said it many times : Alcohol is the worst of all drugs.
I don't know who I am anymore
Brilliant. Thank you.
