Aged 50 and after many struggles with the alcohol delusion I had a sudden epiphany a few weeks ago, gave up alcohol and no longer want to drink. I did a quick cost benefit analysis because I felt very clearly that the cost was hugely outweighing the benefit - at least 80/20. The analogy that came to mind was this. I imagined each drink as an apple. Given that I always finished every drink, I thought: if an apple was 20% good and 80% bad would I eat it? It was all just suddenly so clear to me.
HI VERONICA I LOVE YOUR SOBRIETY VIDEOS!!! I HAVE BEEN CLEAN AND SOBER FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS THIS COMING MARCH 2025 VERONICA THANK AGAIN FOR SHARING AND I WILL KEEP WATCHING!!! 🙏🏽❤️
I’m 53 from the 27th of this month. Went out on a fri after work not drunk for a few weeks , ended up falling over and smashing my eye up in the kerb , sprained my ankle, ended up in accident and emergency for hours, week off work , sick, black eye, scar.. I’m done, binge drinking and undiagnosed ADHD don’t mix.. Given it up before for s few months here and there but akk ok ways end ups back in the same pattern on s fri might or I’m holiday etc.. Niw I’m done, feel better at gym, feel better already after 20 days.. Just don’t want it anymore intact it irritates me now, complete poison that affects every cell in your body.. Just the social aspect that’s hard..
There is a lot of baggage and animosity associated with this drug. You are chained to it without being aware, so sad. Now I am a Sober person I am free from slavery of Alcohol.
While all of this is true, it won't have any impact on a chronic drinker...until the "delusion" of "I'm different" is eradicated from our innermost selves. In plain language, if we haven't been beaten to a phucking pulp physically, mentally, and emotionally, we're doomed. The great news is, if we're willing to do a few simple things on a daily basis, sobriety will take us to places we didn't even know exist. ✌❤
This is my personal delusion? My drinking brain tries to convince me I’d be giving up good times if I stop. Complete bullshit. The ONLY thing I get from drinking now is misery and despair. My drinking brain it living its best life. Lots of social events. Lots of good times. Again bullshit. My alcoholism now consists of me sitting in a room for up to a month, alone drinking morning, noon and night. Blackout repeat 81 days sober. Longest I’ve ever done. Yay to me 🎉

Very true,,The fight of moderation and cognitive dissonance is very real..

Really taking on board everything you sayx
Excellent advise …. Especially well all of it but the part about feeling a fake even if it’s only a little bit and the integrity comment too. Hi

I live in an extremely alcoholic community.... your videos have jñhelped me see just how disgusting mentally ill and broken it is
I'm so sorry that sounds really hard. Glad you are here.
Well said
Just kindly want to point out that you have a verbal tic you may not have noticed with the word “right”
That"s what you got out of this?
