Our 2nd born son was so successful in college. He made great grades and met the love of his who became a dentist and very successful! He was in a hunting accident and became addicted to pain medication.. It has destroyed us as parents! Our heart breaks and my tears for any parent who has to go thru this !
I had a 30 pack of beer and half gallon in a cart at Walmart today... ran through my mind how this purchase was going to play out... thought about the last hangover (lasted days) after my last bender... I walked out of the store w.o. anything... took a lot to make that decision but I'm glad I did.
I just relapsed after a few months sober. Starting over again. My millionth attempt. Maybe one of these times it’ll stick. Not giving up giving up. Edit: thank you everyone. ✌🏻it means a lot to me. 🖤
You have to hit rock bottom to the point where you can’t go on anymore and then you need to decide whether you want to live or die I wanted to live I’ve been sober for 19 years and all I did was drink straight vodka all the time so it is possible to recover and I’m so thankful I did good luck to you
Just keep trying Daniel, it took me 10yrs of trying to finally quit. not many ppl quit first try, eventually you will have enough of what alcohol has done to you and you'll stop.
God bless your soul ma brother thank you for your service I got shot as a child and been there because of traumatic experience but I managed to quit when I found christ🙌‼️
Congratulations, Tristan, on one year sober. I remember how it felt to get my one year medallion in 1994. You are happy and humble. Keep coming back. ❤
i just turned 31 yesterday.. literally. now i’m getting ready for work this morning, watching Tristan’s story .. i too am an alcoholic who’s hurt close family with my addiction.. close family @ that… this one touch me.. i told myself year 31 i’m making a change!
Please stick with this. I had to drag my mother to rehab. We are all going through it together. I pray that you find the strength to be free from this stronghold over your life!!! There are rainbows and butterflies on the other side!!!
I hurt my family too. At some point I wrote down my core values and one of them was humility. I apologized from the bottom of my heart, tearing up. I didn't get an apology back but that's okay. I'm going to act according to my values and not expect anything back. I'm also an addict. Let's defeat this thing.
The recent hurricane ruined my house, still without power after a week. This is the most I’ve been tempted to drink since I finally successfully quit a year and a half ago. This video was what I needed to remind me that it’s never ever worth it
I'm so sorry for what you're going through! Sending prayers to your family and I'm SO PROUD OF YOU for staying sober. Your future self will thank you ❤🫂
God bless you Katie! So sorry for what you’re going through. I’m all the way up in Toronto, Canada but I have been horrified by the lack of response from the government for what’s happened. Stay strong💞Thinking of you!
I don't know you and probably never will get the opportunity to meet you.... But if you haven't heard today that someone loves you just know God loves you...
I dranks the same amount if not more for years! I was going through a handle a day (which is 1.75 leters). Wish him the best! Its a sad life! I know cause i lived that life for so long. Ive been sober since November 2023!
You’re not alone. MANY struggle and stay silent. Sounds like you’ve already taken a good step toward recovery. Fall in love with the idea of a healthy you! You CAN get there and you WILL
I’m six years without alcohol, I had a spiritual awakening in rehab listening to a speaker. Ever since that awakening I never stopped counting each day as an achievement! I am so proud of this man it takes so much strength and bravery to create a new path for yourself and accepting help! Much love ❤❤
My ex boyfriend drank that much a day, plus 6-12 beers. He just died from cirrhosis at the age of 31. One of the youngest cases the doctors at that hospital had seen. It can and WILL happen. Please get help.
That's how i lost my best friend of 32 years- he died November 2022. Watching him die was harder than when i heard he finally died. It was brutal to watch
There is an episide of intervention from years ago where the person died of cirrhosis it was a brutal watch, you knew the man was dying yet he would not change. I broke down crying after the episode.
I used to be an alcoholic and vodka was my drink of choice. I used to drink it straight from the bottle before work and drinks after work. Just looking at him guzzling the vodka made me sick to my stomach. I was hospitalized a few times and after my last hospitalization, I decided to get sober. I feel amazing and living a healthy life now.
I last drank the week of September 16th. I was working 2 jobs. 1 of them was as a campaign organizer for a political party. I showed up hammered and blacked out . I don't remember anything other that I was fire. Embarrassing. Last day I drank was the 20th of September. I manged to rebound fast with my abilities to hustle and communicate I found full time employment again with a much higher pay. I believe thus is my last chance to get it right.
Whoever is watching this right now and is struggling with an addiction I am praying for you. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be but you are strong and I know you can fight this
He reminds me of me. Very quiet but tries to do the right thing. I wish we could have known what hurt him so badly… for me it was losing a loved one and then when I expected family (I was very close with him) I was treated very badly.
I think he was sexually abused at a young age by a trusted person and is so kind that he doesn't want to hurt his family because the person is still in their life. Let's not even talk about how he might have been getting money. I just hope God blesses him with a safe sober life because he deserves it.
When I lost my mom I started drinking a lot and overeating. Although my drinking wasn’t this bad, I gained 50 lbs in less than a year from the overeating. It’s been 4 years and I had to go through a lot of therapy to get better. I’m not all the way there but somewhat better.
What a NICE human being Tristin is. I feel so sad for him, as obviously something happened to him at college and maybe when he was younger too. The same thing happened to a family member of mine at college and it messed them up for a long time. Life can be so hard but there IS hope. I found my hope and healing in Jesus. Hes been there for me when no one else was. I truly wish Tristin and his family all the peace, and happiness in the world. What nice people they all are!
I hope in his facility they have great therapists that can get his story. A lot of times that pain can’t be addressed until you can talk about it with someone you trust. Whatever it was had to be terrible
I was there, Vodka as well. Chronic pancreatitis at 31 and didn't quit until I was 33, i'm 36 now. It's no way to live and I'm happy i'm alive today and escaped a decade of misery
How are you doing with your pancreatitis?? I was hospitalized twice. I’m managing pretty well as far as pain management but I wonder how other people’s journeys are.
@@teddycarter396 Unfortunately even with my laundry list of hospitalizations, pain management clinics wont help me. If I have a flair up, it's sitting in the ER for 20 hours before I get relief. Luckily it's only been once in 3 years after stopping drinking but the pain still comes and goes. I usually sit in the shower for 3 days until it passes
@@teddycarter396 I was in denial for awhile and relied on pain management and taking medication when I had a flare up....because I was still drinking. The only thing I use now is Creon if I feel like a flare could happen but I don't need it daily.
I’m rooting for you to stay sober, Tristan!!!! You’re a gentle, sweet soul…..most likely an empath. Embrace it & dig deep to learn how to deal with it. You can do this!!!!! You’re SO WORTH IT!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm 33 I was a very bad alcoholic. I drunk me everyday. And my days off I would get shots in the morning soon as it opens. But one night it all changed. I was hurting very bad. Like my body was in crazy pain I never felt ever. Mainly in my stomach region. I swore I wouldn't drink ever again after that. I swear that pain hasn't been back since. And I haven't touched anything since. Man my body feels great
Sober since 2006! You can do this just make your mind up to do so in anytime it waivers yell at yourself. You have to depend on yourself. Once you love yourself, you will see love comes to you very easily for those around you. Stay strong everybody.
Like all drinkers there is something deep down that's bothering them and they think that drink helps!!! It only separates your mind from reality temporarily... You will go straight back to those problems but feel worse because your not mentally fighting it. that change can happen and is easy but it starts from YOU telling yourself today is the day and drumming it in your head that you are the one that's in control NOT alcohol. You feel so much better when you quit an addiction. Don't give up, do it for all those close to you but mainly do it for yourself 😉👍
No its not that, people just really really like alcohol in general even the gods liked alcohol and thats why alcohol is legal im not even an alcoholic i just drink everyday for fun.
After my military career I drugged and dranked for years. At some point you have to want to just STOP, I came to a point in my life I just didn’t want to be drugged out and drunk anymore. I pray he finds peace because addiction is definitely a DISEASE
This was so horrible seeing the pain the whole family were suffering but such a relief he got all the wonderful help & pray life treats them all well 🙏 🫶 💕
I drank from 16 years old to 27 , 5 DUIS , four rehabs & dozens of ER visits. I am 2 years and 5 months sober today. If I can do it , anyone can do it. You just have to trust the process after you put the alcohol down. God does the rest. God bless everyone , and I pray that anyone who is dealing with this demon can find the strength to put it down.
My mom passed away from alcoholism at 51, my grandparents had to watch their adopted daughter wither away and I didn't grow up with a mom because she was so deep in her addiction. I didn't even see her before she died. It's an awful disease.
I'm 9 months sober and is been the best months in a long long time. I pray everyday for everyone struggling with this horrible addiction to find hope and peace. ❤
I was so happy when he said yes. Alcoholism is absolutely the most horrific addiction you can have. Not because it does the most damage, but because it is so hard to escape. I pray that Tristan stays sober for himself and his family!
9:27 wow that hit hard I don’t drink a lot but there’s been plenty times where I drink and my anxiety goes away and it makes me feel so good to not feel all that anxiety and fear I feel all the time
I felt the same. I’ve been sober 50 days now and that’s has completely changed. I no longer need that shot or 2 before going grocery shopping to feel like I fit in.
I was this guy, though I was drinking a box a day along with a 500ml of whiskey. I quit on my own and had 2 seizures due to going cold turkey. I got through it though and now 296 days sober. My mate went to a recovery place and they fed him benzodiazapines to withdraw, he then had to withdraw from those meds also. The benzodiazapines he said we're to stop seizures and take the edge off. He then explained benzo withdrawal was 20x worse.
Aww. Hes such a sweet soul. A sensitive soul. You know it broke his heart and shattered his world to see his father abuse his mother and feel helpless. Thats serious, can be lifelong, trauma. Im praying for this young man.
I realized drinking everyday is not conducive towards any goals in life and have dramatically reduced my drinking , nothing good leads from being drunk everyday and I’m glad I’m not dead from it.
So glad he got help and helped himself!!! Im a year and a few months a non drinker. Its amazing . Its tough but the reward is immeasurable every day. Living clean!! Its the new high!
Don't know what to say other than, I can relate and it saddens me to see other souls suffer and drink themselves into the grave. I personally stopped drinking not too long ago (3 months). I feel great and bad at the same time. I feel like a disappointment when I reflect on the past and the things I have done. I am working on myself everyday to stay sober. I wish the best for Tristan, the fact that he is honest and cries, shows that he wants to change. I am the same way and recognize that glimmer of hope. As long as he has the desire to change and has support, he will be solid in his decision to stay sober. Also, when he picks up being creative again that will keep his mind busy, which is extremely helpful and imperative.
This episode broke my heart and reminds me of my past.. . It’s the most difficult, horrible disease that you can ever suffer from. Vodka is the devil too ❤😢
Alcoholism is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, drinking is so normalized. Everywhere I go there’s alcohol. The store, the movies, dinner, family events. You really have to be a strong person to avoid it.
I knew before the interventionist had even asked, he was going to say yes. He’s a good soul, and a beautiful human. He just wanted to make his family happy. I hope he finds his peace 🖤
May God bless Tristan and anyone else in the comments that is struggling with alcoholism🙏🏾 if you relapse just try again everyday is another day for chance and opportunity ❤️never give up on yourself❤
I drank more than that bottle a day. Needed that much to survive at one point. Now I’m almost 7 years in recovery. Work for the state of CT as a mental health worker and published 2 books. We do recover
I hope for strength for all addicts. Tristan worries me because alcohol is so accessible, and its use is generally approved in most of society. If I had the craving to abuse prescription painkillers again, I would have no idea how to source them because I cut ties with those suppliers so long ago. Fortunately I don't crave them. But it's so easy to pick up a bottle; I congratulate anyone who gave up alcohol and is managing to not take that first drink. Support in recovery is critical, and Tristan's family seems very close.
Been alcohol free since August 6th this year. I decided for my birthday that I was gonna stop drinking, I have realized that I have over time lost interest
Good for you, that is a great achievement. Not trying to be rude but 25-30 drinks a week is NOT much at all to an alcoholic, most can drink that in one day..
@@xxxnyb im drinking my last drink as we speak iv drank 12 to 14 plus beers a day for 15 years straight now my Dr says ill die if I dont stop I could be dead in weeks now im just gonna smoke weed and hybernate on the couch or bed watching movies and youtube to help get me thru it
I drank just like you and eventually even worse for almost a decade i drank, in the final 6 months of my drinking i was drinking a litre of vodka straight probably 5 days of the week eventually i couldnt hold it down anymore and i would puke blood, my blood presure was through the roof and i was utterly at the mercy of this evil stuff! I was lost and didnt know how or what to do to get off until one day i woke up and just said to myself im tired of this bs. I am now 32 years old and 1.5 years sober. I guess my point is you really have to eventually get sick and tired of it to have the strength and motivation to stop! I hope you find that motivation soon like i did brother! I will pray for you 🙏
@ElliceP Yeah the tolerance you can grow with alcohol especially the hard stuff is insane! A semi alcoholic just on the verge of dependency could drink an amount that would usually kill the average drinker. In my last days it would take almost a quarter of a litre before jd really feel the effects! Very dangerous.
So glad he is sober!! Such a talented young beautiful boy, this one was painful to watch when he was gulping that pure vodka down.. hope he never goes back to that person because now he’s a shining star of light! Yay 🎉 ❤
"we did it we did it we did it" no. He did. HE chose to go. You could never ever ever make someone get sober. I'm sorry, it's just not within our power.
very true but its also couldnt have been easy for them to say how they felt especially the sister. that takes alot of courage too they deserve a little credit for that💕
@@tytiana9979 Of course they do, and as someone who has had family members with addictions, it's extremely painful to sit there and bare your soul to try and convince them to accept treatment. But...at the end of it all, it's also not their choice to accept the help. It's solely the addicts' choice. Thankfully he accepted the gift of treatment.
I'm an alcoholic and it sucks, believe me. I relapsed after like 5 years sober when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, haven't been sober more than 2 months since.
You can still get clean. I know how hard it is for you (seen family members go through it) but I believe in you. A relapse is not a fail, it just another step closer to being completely sober. Xx
64 ounces is a half gallon. That's a lot of vodka. How does a person not get sick to there stomach and pass out? My sister just needed to go to rehab last month. She was isolated and felt lonely and turned to alcohol. She is doing so well, her clarity is restored, her boundaries are stronger and she is participating in the sober living activities. They keep her so busy that she now feels like a part of a community of people who are struggling too. No one has to feel hopeless and alone.
I drank very heavily for a decade. My boyfriend died in 2018 and I just derailed so bad. My life fell apart. I tried being sober. Failed. I’m 10 months sober now and I dunno. I miss not having to think about how my boyfriend’s dead. I have even more trauma than that but that was the worst. R worded, abused, abandoned by my birth mother, and the list goes on. But I won’t go back
It’s very hard to quit. I’m kinda sorta in the process. I use to drink everyfucking day 7 days a week. I have reduced my amount, i’m taking baby steps. The days i didn’t drink i used to process the WHY. For me definitely the loss of my grandma, dog, and working in a toxic environment. Luckily i quit that job, and I’m learning to process my grief without alcohol. Letting myself cry and acknowledging i miss them 😔
Two small shots of vodka has me laid out asleep. I love their accents. I really hope he releases this alcoholic demon and becomes a healthy and happy person. His face reminds me of Pat D Lucky.
Yeah I couldn’t understand how anyone could drink 50 oz per day when I saw the title. That’s enough to just die same day. I couldn’t understand how they’re defining “drink” since I think of a drink as one 1 oz at least
tristan i don’t know you personally and i don’t know if you’ll ever read this but a lot of what you shared i can relate to. growing up i was always seen as very sensitive as well. i’m sorry that you’ve struggled. i hope that you can achieve your aspirations and find comfort in your being. you’re a beautiful soul and you deserve to find peace. i know that life isn’t always a straight path but i hope that regardless of what obstacles you may encounter you still try to not fall into old habits. continue making art please, continue to express yourself in healthy ways. you’ve got this. you’ve motivated me to make a change in my life, thank you

What else have you accomplished in the 400 days?
Awesome ! I'm 6 years sober and so thankful keep going and growing
Congrats!
Yah ok. I doubt u drank a 60 everyday.
You can do it Tristan. You can tell that he has a kind soul.

@@teddycarter396 Unfortunately even with my laundry list of hospitalizations, pain management clinics wont help me. If I have a flair up, it's sitting in the ER for 20 hours before I get relief. Luckily it's only been once in 3 years after stopping drinking but the pain still comes and goes. I usually sit in the shower for 3 days until it passes
I just started drinking at 32 so im hoping i have some yrs to enjoy my liquor b4 im forced to stop
@@teddycarter396 I was in denial for awhile and relied on pain management and taking medication when I had a flare up....because I was still drinking. The only thing I use now is Creon if I feel like a flare could happen but I don't need it daily.
9 months sober yesterday, after about 5 years of similar antics... best decision ive ever made! I have freedom & control of my life again.
That’s so awesome good for you congrats!!!❤
177 days sober.. it can get so hard.. but I don’t want to go back to who I was 👏🏾
I’m rooting for you to stay sober, Tristan!!!!
You’re a gentle, sweet soul…..most likely an empath. Embrace it & dig deep to learn how to deal with it.
You can do this!!!!!
You’re SO WORTH IT!!!

50 vodka drinks per Day!!! That’s absolutely insane, I’m surprised his body can handle it (barely)

7:15 he says he feels like trash yet i think he looks good there,love that it only got better from there on
I'm 33 I was a very bad alcoholic. I drunk me everyday. And my days off I would get shots in the morning soon as it opens. But one night it all changed. I was hurting very bad. Like my body was in crazy pain I never felt ever. Mainly in my stomach region. I swore I wouldn't drink ever again after that. I swear that pain hasn't been back since. And I haven't touched anything since. Man my body feels great
He seems like such a sweet soul, I really hope he's doing good and staying sober
Sober since 2006! You can do this just make your mind up to do so in anytime it waivers yell at yourself. You have to depend on yourself. Once you love yourself, you will see love comes to you very easily for those around you. Stay strong everybody.
Congratulations 🎉
@@sandrashevel2137 thanks
Congrats! That’s a long time too!

Like all drinkers there is something deep down that's bothering them and they think that drink helps!!! It only separates your mind from reality temporarily... You will go straight back to those problems but feel worse because your not mentally fighting it. that change can happen and is easy but it starts from YOU telling yourself today is the day and drumming it in your head that you are the one that's in control NOT alcohol. You feel so much better when you quit an addiction. Don't give up, do it for all those close to you but mainly do it for yourself 😉👍
True ❤
No its not that, people just really really like alcohol in general even the gods liked alcohol and thats why alcohol is legal im not even an alcoholic i just drink everyday for fun.

I thought the grandma sounded scandi but couldnt place it for sure
No one really asked or cares
I was curious about her accent, thanks
@@MarynaOL then ask her dude
@@lamyaandtyanasupershow3269no one cares about you, it's obvious.
After my military career I drugged and dranked for years. At some point you have to want to just STOP, I came to a point in my life I just didn’t want to be drugged out and drunk anymore. I pray he finds peace because addiction is definitely a DISEASE
This was so horrible seeing the pain the whole family were suffering but such a relief he got all the wonderful help & pray life treats them all well 🙏 🫶 💕
I drank from 16 years old to 27 , 5 DUIS , four rehabs & dozens of ER visits.
I am 2 years and 5 months sober today. If I can do it , anyone can do it. You just have to trust the process after you put the alcohol down. God does the rest. God bless everyone , and I pray that anyone who is dealing with this demon can find the strength to put it down.
That's not very long to be honest.
Not many families can afford 1 rehabs yet alone 4.
Stop with the “if I can do it” keep it relatable rich boy
My mom passed away from alcoholism at 51, my grandparents had to watch their adopted daughter wither away and I didn't grow up with a mom because she was so deep in her addiction. I didn't even see her before she died. It's an awful disease.
When I saw what alcohol did to my beloved grandmother I swore off alcohol as an adult. I seldom, if ever, drink alcohol.
@@nettricegaskins1871 Same !!!
I'm 9 months sober and is been the best months in a long long time. I pray everyday for everyone struggling with this horrible addiction to find hope and peace. ❤
Seeing him at the end?! He's so gorgeous and full of life
I was so happy when he said yes. Alcoholism is absolutely the most horrific addiction you can have. Not because it does the most damage, but because it is so hard to escape. I pray that Tristan stays sober for himself and his family!
Tristan, we're rooting for you. You're clearly so intelligent and kind, you got this
I'm on day 2 pray for us all
Well done on day 2 1 day at a time know what its like stay strong❤
This is so sad.. i feel their families pain. Alcohol is a horrible demon. :((
9:27 wow that hit hard I don’t drink a lot but there’s been plenty times where I drink and my anxiety goes away and it makes me feel so good to not feel all that anxiety and fear I feel all the time
It makes mine worse the next day
Yeah I tend to drink at social events for that reason, intense social anxiety
@@pollyanna5354 same here it’s what keeps me away from drinking constantly and so much.
I felt the same. I’ve been sober 50 days now and that’s has completely changed. I no longer need that shot or 2 before going grocery shopping to feel like I fit in.
I used to be there! It got old, and I was able to just stop one day, and how my life has changed. I'm glad you got the help you needed.
God bless you, Tristan. you are not alone in your struggles.
Oh man, the burps from that cheap vodka must be brutal. I haven’t drank like that in years, and I can taste it right now.
I was this guy, though I was drinking a box a day along with a 500ml of whiskey. I quit on my own and had 2 seizures due to going cold turkey. I got through it though and now 296 days sober.
My mate went to a recovery place and they fed him benzodiazapines to withdraw, he then had to withdraw from those meds also.
The benzodiazapines he said we're to stop seizures and take the edge off.
He then explained benzo withdrawal was 20x worse.
Two years alcohol free. It’s possible ❤️
Aww. Hes such a sweet soul. A sensitive soul. You know it broke his heart and shattered his world to see his father abuse his mother and feel helpless. Thats serious, can be lifelong, trauma. Im praying for this young man.
I realized drinking everyday is not conducive towards any goals in life and have dramatically reduced my drinking , nothing good leads from being drunk everyday and I’m glad I’m not dead from it.
So glad he got help and helped himself!!! Im a year and a few months a non drinker. Its amazing . Its tough but the reward is immeasurable every day. Living clean!! Its the new high!
I just wanna hug him. 😢
Me too
Perverts
Don't know what to say other than, I can relate and it saddens me to see other souls suffer and drink themselves into the grave. I personally stopped drinking not too long ago (3 months). I feel great and bad at the same time. I feel like a disappointment when I reflect on the past and the things I have done. I am working on myself everyday to stay sober. I wish the best for Tristan, the fact that he is honest and cries, shows that he wants to change. I am the same way and recognize that glimmer of hope. As long as he has the desire to change and has support, he will be solid in his decision to stay sober. Also, when he picks up being creative again that will keep his mind busy, which is extremely helpful and imperative.
This episode broke my heart and reminds me of my past.. . It’s the most difficult, horrible disease that you can ever suffer from. Vodka is the devil too ❤😢
Alcoholism is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, drinking is so normalized. Everywhere I go there’s alcohol. The store, the movies, dinner, family events. You really have to be a strong person to avoid it.
@@nikirrae8495 yes and you have to want to quit for yourself. I’m actually a substance-abuse clinician lol
He’s in a lot of Mental Pain😢 I know the same Feeling
I’m so proud of you Tristan sending love from Maryland!!!!!!!
I stopped drinking spirits and found the HOLY SPIRIT
I knew before the interventionist had even asked, he was going to say yes. He’s a good soul, and a beautiful human. He just wanted to make his family happy. I hope he finds his peace 🖤
Looks so much healthier .
His hair was thin and skin extremely pale. It’s amazing how different one can look with self care
Everyone looks great in good health
@@fatimadavis90 often times you do not get to see the comparison.
Congratulations Tristan on your recovery ❤🙏❤️
May God bless Tristan and anyone else in the comments that is struggling with alcoholism🙏🏾 if you relapse just try again everyday is another day for chance and opportunity ❤️never give up on yourself❤
I drank more than that bottle a day. Needed that much to survive at one point. Now I’m almost 7 years in recovery. Work for the state of CT as a mental health worker and published 2 books. We do recover
I hope for strength for all addicts. Tristan worries me because alcohol is so accessible, and its use is generally approved in most of society. If I had the craving to abuse prescription painkillers again, I would have no idea how to source them because I cut ties with those suppliers so long ago. Fortunately I don't crave them. But it's so easy to pick up a bottle; I congratulate anyone who gave up alcohol and is managing to not take that first drink. Support in recovery is critical, and Tristan's family seems very close.
Alcohol-free since August 2022!
At my highest I was going through 25-30 drinks a week
Life is good with no addictions
Been alcohol free since August 6th this year. I decided for my birthday that I was gonna stop drinking, I have realized that I have over time lost interest
I drank 12 to 14 beers a day from 2015 till now im quitting drinking starting tomorrow my Dr said ill be dead in weeks if I keep drinking
Good for you, that is a great achievement. Not trying to be rude but 25-30 drinks a week is NOT much at all to an alcoholic, most can drink that in one day..
@@xxxnyb im drinking my last drink as we speak iv drank 12 to 14 plus beers a day for 15 years straight now my Dr says ill die if I dont stop I could be dead in weeks now im just gonna smoke weed and hybernate on the couch or bed watching movies and youtube to help get me thru it
That's not much at all. Especially for your highest.
I drank just like you and eventually even worse for almost a decade i drank, in the final 6 months of my drinking i was drinking a litre of vodka straight probably 5 days of the week eventually i couldnt hold it down anymore and i would puke blood, my blood presure was through the roof and i was utterly at the mercy of this evil stuff! I was lost and didnt know how or what to do to get off until one day i woke up and just said to myself im tired of this bs. I am now 32 years old and 1.5 years sober.
I guess my point is you really have to eventually get sick and tired of it to have the strength and motivation to stop! I hope you find that motivation soon like i did brother! I will pray for you 🙏
@ElliceP Yeah the tolerance you can grow with alcohol especially the hard stuff is insane! A semi alcoholic just on the verge of dependency could drink an amount that would usually kill the average drinker. In my last days it would take almost a quarter of a litre before jd really feel the effects! Very dangerous.
So glad he is sober!! Such a talented young beautiful boy, this one was painful to watch when he was gulping that pure vodka down.. hope he never goes back to that person because now he’s a shining star of light! Yay 🎉 ❤
"we did it we did it we did it" no. He did. HE chose to go. You could never ever ever make someone get sober. I'm sorry, it's just not within our power.
very true but its also couldnt have been easy for them to say how they felt especially the sister. that takes alot of courage too they deserve a little credit for that💕
@@tytiana9979 Of course they do, and as someone who has had family members with addictions, it's extremely painful to sit there and bare your soul to try and convince them to accept treatment. But...at the end of it all, it's also not their choice to accept the help. It's solely the addicts' choice. Thankfully he accepted the gift of treatment.
I cry every time I see these people heal. How wonderful! 💯🥰
I'm an alcoholic and it sucks, believe me. I relapsed after like 5 years sober when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, haven't been sober more than 2 months since.
You can still get clean. I know how hard it is for you (seen family members go through it) but I believe in you. A relapse is not a fail, it just another step closer to being completely sober. Xx
@roserose8282 thanks, I appreciate the words of encouragement.
Rooting for you! All the best.
64 ounces is a half gallon. That's a lot of vodka. How does a person not get sick to there stomach and pass out? My sister just needed to go to rehab last month. She was isolated and felt lonely and turned to alcohol. She is doing so well, her clarity is restored, her boundaries are stronger and she is participating in the sober living activities. They keep her so busy that she now feels like a part of a community of people who are struggling too. No one has to feel hopeless and alone.
Congrats Tristan! You are such a refreshing person when sober, I truly hope that you can stay on this path.
❤❤❤ i pray for him. You got this Tristan
There is always hope. Keep going Tristan. You are a beautiful human being.
I drank very heavily for a decade. My boyfriend died in 2018 and I just derailed so bad. My life fell apart. I tried being sober. Failed. I’m 10 months sober now and I dunno. I miss not having to think about how my boyfriend’s dead. I have even more trauma than that but that was the worst. R worded, abused, abandoned by my birth mother, and the list goes on. But I won’t go back
10 months is awesome !! One day and one step at a time is all you can expect or yourself . Keep up the good work
Everyone has trauma
@@megalou6567 thank you💞
My heart breaks for him. Wishing him the best. He’d be an amazing therapist.
It’s very hard to quit. I’m kinda sorta in the process. I use to drink everyfucking day 7 days a week. I have reduced my amount, i’m taking baby steps. The days i didn’t drink i used to process the WHY. For me definitely the loss of my grandma, dog, and working in a toxic environment. Luckily i quit that job, and I’m learning to process my grief without alcohol. Letting myself cry and acknowledging i miss them 😔
Good job Tristan.....As a stranger I am proud of what you have done....Wish I could do the same....
What a beautiful boy your life is worth living
God bless you brother. We are all proud of you. 🏁🏁🏁
Wow, keep going man 👍
God I hope he stays sober. He has so much to offer this world
Two small shots of vodka has me laid out asleep. I love their accents. I really hope he releases this alcoholic demon and becomes a healthy and happy person. His face reminds me of Pat D Lucky.
"I have such a Great amount of Hope" Love to hear that ♥
A fifth isnt 50 drinks. Its 16.667 as a shot/drink of hard liquor is 1 ounce.
Poor guy, hes so sweet, something happ not his fault. Hugs. ❤❤
Yeah I couldn’t understand how anyone could drink 50 oz per day when I saw the title. That’s enough to just die same day. I couldn’t understand how they’re defining “drink” since I think of a drink as one 1 oz at least
tristan i don’t know you personally and i don’t know if you’ll ever read this but a lot of what you shared i can relate to. growing up i was always seen as very sensitive as well. i’m sorry that you’ve struggled. i hope that you can achieve your aspirations and find comfort in your being. you’re a beautiful soul and you deserve to find peace. i know that life isn’t always a straight path but i hope that regardless of what obstacles you may encounter you still try to not fall into old habits. continue making art please, continue to express yourself in healthy ways. you’ve got this. you’ve motivated me to make a change in my life, thank you
