I had to quit or die, so what I did was ween off of vodka with beer, and after a few weeks of beer I stopped Cold Turkey and had the D.T.s from beer.Now its been 18 years ago and I never looked back!!!!
Don't Drink...Just for today!!!!!
Absolutely!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you bigsarge! I hope all is well in Florida!!! God bless❤❤❤❤
Exactly, Bigsarge!!! That was my first thought, too!! ❤️😊❤️
Just for today Brother!! God Bless!!
I found you a few months ago. Your story is so similar to mines it’s scary. Brave shit you’re doing here and I promise you it’s super damn important! Thank you.
3 years zero alcohol on November 18th. After 20 years of every day drinking and the last 6-8 years was a bottle of vodka a day.
Thanks for sharing. Did you develop any major health problems ?
Hi Matthew.
Best on your 3 years ....and yes it's a brave, and must appreciated daily mssg. !!
Hey G. I can relate to everything you talked about today. I use to even get pissed off at myself for thinking " this is the last day" . I physically still have nots in my stomach trying to get through each day of sobriety. This is by far the worst addiction I'm trying to overcome. !! Thanks sooo much for this video. Love ya ❤❤❤
Didn't know it was still such a daily struggle for you Cheryl (JG)!! Prayers for you 🙏 💙
@@CraigFox-lt6lt thanks for the prayers Craig. It's been since March with 3 relapses. When I don't have my grandson to watch, I think boredom is my worst enemy 😭
I’m proud to announce I’m 24 days alcohol free!!
Congrats!! I'm rooting for you!
Took me a long time to realize alcohol is a depressant, a vicious cycle of trying to feel better. Thanks for helping people get drinking out of their lives. It ruins so many families.
Do not let tomorrow be your fate . For it might be too late . Remembering 9/11/2001❤🙏
We covered some of the same stuff. I spoke about getting help from your primary care provider in my latest video. 9/11 was terrible. I remember where I was when somebody told me to turn the TV on. God bless those victims of that terrible tragedy. Great message, LD.
You really nailed it with this video. Especially all the procrastination justifications. The "tomorrow" mindset is a very seductive and powerful enemy.
I was in Spanagdalem, Germany on 9/11. I was set to return home to Japan on 9/12. I went from packing bags to fly home to generating A-10s for combat in the blink of an eye. I'll never forget the amount of flowers and candles the local Germans were placing around the base entrance. That memorial grew larger and larger each morning as we drove into work. I'll never forget the love and support they showed us!
Cheers mate! Love the new sounds, it's a killer upgrade!
You never know when you will finally make that difficult decision to stop . Stopping addictions is not easy. Just for this moment, I can say not right now.
Your story is our story. Thanks for what you are doing. Someone needs to hear this right now.
Sending thoughts from the U.K on this day remembering an awful event that resonated around the world. I do remember the day, as I had a film & video production office in the building, and was the only person with several monitors/TV’s, so people from the other offices came in to watch. Strange to realise this was before most people had smart phones… Makes me feel old!
A great message as always, and sorry that you seem to be suffering with some nausea.
Check with your doctor first, but I find ginger shots (ginger mixed with apple juice in a small bottle) can sometimes be more effective than the usual prescribed anti-nausea meds.
BW to all.
Adam
You too Adam!!
I’m on shift work so I’m sober for a few days and I’m drunk for a few days, I feel great when I don’t drink for a few days but when I feel good I want to get wasted. This has been my way of life for about 15 years. I can’t do this anymore. Thank you for these videos
I had to have a medical detox twice before I finally quit for good. I thank God that I didn’t do a long-term damage to my body. Ativan was a lifesaver for me in the hospital. I’ve been totally sober now for over two years, and plan to stay that way. You’re absolutely right. Life is so much better now. There was a time that I couldn’t imagine my life without alcohol. Looking back I realize how crazy that thinking was. Thanks for all you do Liver Disease. I’m a faithful follower of your videos. God bless you and your family ❤
New setup rocks dewd! I turn your vids on every morning. I’m from New Mexico. I’m Only 21 but I’m definitely a problem drinker. Luckily it was only a problem for around a year and I don’t drink much these days. I can only drink 2 beers at a time and I allow myself only 6 a month. I can’t drink hard liquor anymore, I lose control too fast. Every time I do I end up driving drunk or messing up relationships bad. Luckily I can control the beer well. My biggest problems now are kratom and weed, mostly the kratom. Shit is addictive, definitely not as bad for you as alcohol but still not good to be doing everyday.
Prayers for you! Is the kratom for an opioid addiction?
@@Mmoose712 no, I just tried it and got addicted.
Hey peter!!! Thank you for watching everyday and I appreciate you saying that!!! I was wondering if it really did or if it was just me. So... thank you!!! Good job on getting control of the alcohol man! Kratom is very addictive, I know a lot of people who are really hooked on that stuff. Take is slow man, don't try to quit too much at once. I'm praying for you my friend! Congratulations on what you have done so far my friend! You are making such a good decision and at your age, that's so smart!!!! Thank you!!! God bless ❤❤❤❤
Only 21.. I wish.. If only I had the wherewithal to realize what my life would be 20 Yeats later.. trust me when I say that you need to start changing those neural pathways early on so it's easier to battle the addiction into your later years... when you go hard like me for 30 years it's so much harder to reroute those mental pathways that control your behaviors.
@petergriffin680 Hey. Glad you're learning your limits. Takes some of us decades. Just want to say, careful with the kratom. I think it works on our opioid receptors and withdrawals can be wicked. Some states have banned it due to the dangers. I say taper off if able. Also, in case this helps you or anyone else, buying drinks from the grocery store for the week helped since it meant I was less likely to be at a register where it's sold! The powder drink packets like Emergen-C was helpful too. You're not alone!🙏🍀❤️🔥
Thanks for all you are doing man. Thanks for helping all the people you are helping.
I remember this day like yesterday, an attack on north American soil that killed 3000 of my American and Canadian brother's and sister's. God bless America 🇺🇸
Thats the worst thing is lieing or letting yourself down you begin to stop trusting yourself!
That's very familiar, the anticipation of some future event and being afraid of how to function.
You're right tomorrow never comes - - - just slow down TODAY!! 🙏 🐐 🍒 🌴
Been on and off trying to sleep and binge watching your videos and nodding off for very little time 😢
then back up watching your videos like 10 times so far
Praying for you ❤

Your story is so REAL and raw and I relate to you!!! I’m going to therapy this week to help stop thank you for your story!
Thank you LD another great one hit home big time . God bless you my friend .🙏❤
My daughter’s 21st Birthday today. You always remember where you were at that time.
God Bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Well said, Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey LD, I’m watching this video on Thursday morning. I too remember where I was on September 11. It was a devastating day, with so many lives taken and we were changed forever.
As for this video, the I’ll quit on Monday or tomorrow or whenever has played out in my head many times from the start of this journey. I never saw it as my last hoorah so I didn’t increase in volume, maybe because I never believe it will be the last time. When you still have control over it, it’s hard to stick to it. I have poured out alcohol when I have given in but weeks later found myself right back. Quitting is not impossible but it is a change of mindset. When you were speaking I saw how difficult it became and the emotions built up. It’s completely ok and more so shows how painful that situation was. The prize of giving up the poison ☠️ is the memories you’ve made with your family and friends. The thousands of people you have touched and impacted by sharing your story. The prize for me is hopefully avoiding any negative consequences and just living a clean life. Clear of toxins that were never meant to be ingested but somehow is so normalized that it makes it easy to purchase and consume. Anyways, LD keep stacking up that time, one day, one hour, one minute at a time. Hope you and everyone has a peaceful and beautiful day! Much love my friend!
Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.❤
I remember 9/11 too. It was so horrible. So sad.
Yes, i think the one day at a time regime is THE way to go for 99% of people trying to quit. I always used to say to myself ' i need to stop smoking weed' AS i was rolling a spliff, every day. Good video man, Love from Liverpool x
Just got caught up on yesterday's and today's videos!! Sorry im late. I'm struggling a little to adjust to the new schedule, but it will sort itself out eventually! First of all, the audio quality is awesome with your new mic!! Im glad that this podcast gave you a reason to treat yourself. It's so cool! I couldn't agree more with your sentiments on growing into the best version of yourself after giving up alcohol. I like to think of it as we're going back to the people that we were before drinking, only now we're much wiser, motivated and empathetic. As for this video, I started checkong out the comments, and bigsarge said it perfectly. Don't drink...just for today! I used to have a lot of the same triggers and excuses. But if we're willing to recognize that giving into the trigger of just for today is going to aid us in extending our use for way longer, maybe we can start replacing that just for today i will drink thinking with just for today i will not drink. I used to use the same excuse as you. Not wanting to waste money. When i quit, i stopped worrying about how much money i was throwing away by throwing away helf full bottles. In fact, i not only threw them away, but i treated myself to dinner in the moments where throwing it away was particularly hard. I turned the situation around from a feeling of wasting money into an investment. Sure, ill never see those few dollars again, and now at times im spending more money. But I'm investing it into my health. Into extending my life for my family and myself! and eventually, the investment pays for itself. You are free, you are happier, healthier, your family gets to keep you longer, so do your friends, you're SAVING money overall and you're so much more productive. I can attest to all of this. I hope everyone here has had a great few days. All my love to this whole community ❤❤❤😊❤❤❤
Love the content LD! Your latest video just come at the right time for me today… I am on Day 5 and some of the self talk started in my head… put the pods in and just got walking (and listening). It was the circuit breaker to get past the moment
9/11/01
I had worked nights the night before at the hospital.
I remember the phone would NOT stop ringing.
I finally got up to answer & it was my mom. She told me to put the tv on. I’ve never felt such fear, unsafety for fellow Americans & genuine deep sadness.
I remember asking my mom if the Marine Corps could call my brother back up. She wasn’t sure. My brother served 4 or 5 yrs & that August he chose not to reenlist. The military ended up calling my brothers old pack up to go over. All were in a Hum V & hit a roadside bomb. All his brothers died in that explosion.
I believe we were all impacted wether on the day or years later from ptsd & many other ways.
I had lost my brother in 03… he had to attend everyone’s funeral.
I can’t imagine the weight of it all on his heart.
My brother hung my moon in my eyes. I lost him due to a od in a motel all alone on 1/20/18. I miss him. I carry a lot of ambiguous grief.
Thanks LD
God Bless our troops ❤🙏🏻
I’m so sorry for your loss.💔🙏
@@CMoore8539❤ thank you 🙏🏻 so much
Good to see you’re still going. I’m the one with Primary Biliary Cholangitis cirrhosis. Been running the hamster wheel of insurance. Finally got approval for the last of the testing. TIPS approved! Surgery on October 9th. I’ll be thinking of you.❤
I have one….
Say u don’t want to do something anything…. My sponsor would say if it was to grab a new script you’d go no problem. Your going!
Gave in because today was my birthday… disappointed. This is a battle. Day 1 starts tomorrow… again. 😔 Great vid, LD. Love the new mic! You’re a huge inspiration. Love you man!
Hang in there. It's ok. It's happened to me. As long as we don't give up, we still have a fighting chance! Love and prayers 💗💗💗
RIP for those lost on 9/11 in so many horrific ways, with some people even jumping to avoid a worse death. RIP also to all the first responders and others who died much later due to the effects of exposure to dangerous particulates in the air or depression, etc. So much suffering rippling out from that one event, including the major "ripple" of the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and invasion of Iraq, which caused hundreds of thousands of deaths (RIP), wasted trillions and didn't seem to improve anything in the end. A true day of infamy. 🙏🙏🙏
I’m there, only sometimes I’ll pour the vodka out in the morning and maybe make it a week or two until I come up with a reason to start again.
9/11/01. I was home with my 9 month old baby boy. My partner called me from work to ask me if I had seen or heard. I hadn’t. I turned on the TV and was glued to it all day. I sat there with my baby son in my arms and cried and cried. Not only for all of the people involved, but also because I was holding this little innocent baby who I had brought into this crazy mixed up world. Those were my thoughts and I remember feeling very scared for him, and for everyone. And feeling such a heavy sadness. That being said, thanks for being you, just for today. ❤️
True happiness..even with big a event that triggers you...depression and AUD, go hand and hand..just for today, one day at a time..
At what point did your sleep completely turn to normal after you quit drinking?
Hey jmn! I'm going to be honest with you. It took me a year and half before it got normal again. I don't know why. Thank you for watching! God bless 😊😊😊
I quit for a year, sleeping never got better so I talked myself into just trying to have a few to get to sleep…..guess what happened after that 🙄
I get jealous when people say their sleeping was wonderful real quick… good luck to you!
I was on meds from feb 15,2023 still am. But reduced after six months for liver issues. I would want to nap during the day but at night tossed and turned. But the nap time was not there after a year but gradually I would sleep better at night and I made sure my phone wasn't there, I would switch it off.
I wish i put the effort into other areas of my life that i put into drinking and getting alcohol,it was a full time job with overtime,i saw a shadow man who told me he was taking me to hell,that was a warning from Jesus ❤❤At the time i was praying to Jesus for help 🙏
I agree it's hard but so worth it. I didn't start drinking until age 58. But in those 8 years I drank exactly like you did. I already had fatty liver disease, but continued to heavy heavy binge drink. Then my primary doctor diagnosed me with AUD induced Hepatitis. I was finally able to just do it for some reason on my birthday back in January. There's a lot more crazy in my story but I am 9 mo sober now. Next month I have my bloodwork again to see if sobriety has made a difference in my liver enzymes. Fingers crossed. (I don't know what I'll do if it hasn't 😢).
I would often wake up feeling groggy, I’d tell myself I’m not going to drink today. I’d feel a little better by lunch time and I’d tell myself “I’ll just have a couple today” then next thing a couple turns into 10+ drinks by 5pm. I repeated this cycle for 10 years. In those 10 years I only had 3 days without drinking, and I can remember them because they were so far and few between.
Thing is I always knew I’d drink the next day because I would also be well stocked up with booze because I never wanted to run out.
I remember 9/11 as if it were yesterday! I was in my 9th grade English class when it happened. My teacher brought the TV into the classroom so we could watch the footage, and that's what we did all period. As soon as I got home that day, I rushed to the living room and turned on the TV to keep watching, it was awful! I actually went to visit "ground zero" shortly after the tragedy. My older brother was attending NYU at the time and when I went to visit him, I got a chance to see the destruction up close, it was absolute chaos down there! So sad because I used to live in NYC when I was a little kid, and I was always so fascinated by the twin towers because they were so iconic and they really made the New York skyline. I was devastated to see them go! Can't believe it's already been 23 years since that day!! The victims of 9/11 had no idea that it was their last day on earth, and those who survived had no idea that their lives would be forever changed! That's exactly why we should make the most of each and every single day because tomorrow is promised to no one. So I if you've come to the realization that your drinking has gotten out of control and you want to take action, today is the day!! Prayers to all the victims of 9/11/01! 🙏God bless you, LD and God bless the USA!! ❤
Ya I was 16 skipping school when it happened! My old high school had mad forrest behind it so you would skip the day and hang out and drink and smoke in those woods lol. I remember a couple of sitting on a rock up on a hill and seeing the whole school come outside so we were like whats happening here? I was 16 young dumb and stoned so i didnt quite grasp how serious it was till I saw the footage on tv that night. RIP 🙏
Love you ❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Day that changed my life I knew I was going to war!! May 2003 we deployed to iraq!!
So! I just got my insurance card 2 weeks early and i want to get something to help me detox at home safely.. where should i go?
Did your wife get wise to you replacing marked bottles with water?
Do you think making these videos keeps the idea of drinking in your mind? If so you might want to take a step back from RUclips. Not trying to tell you what to do but it may ir may not be good for your mental.
They found their passports??😅
