    Every Day Was a Struggle, the Evenings Even More so
    At Night I Felt Isolated, Lonely & Often Thought I Would Not Make it Through The Evening.
    Sober Life Has Given me a Second Chance!

    Steve, I am in the same job as you were. Went through a tough time, started drinking and lost everything. Family, house, self-respect. I ended up living in a damp infested flat. I am now four months sober and your videos inspire me to keep going.

    Hi Steve, luckily, I stopped the booze before it got to a really bad stage. I binged a few times in the last 7/8 years. It's such a sad existence, but until we break that cycle, we don't realise the damage we are doing to ourselves & others. Hope you're well, Steve 👍

    Good video, Steven. I retired in 1996, and up until retirement, I was well on the way to
    having a problem with alcohol. I was drinking heavily every night. I used to buy a half
    bottle of Vodca and drink it at home. I was hiding these bottles before and after use.
    I decided enough was enough and stopped what I was doing. At that stage, I honestly
    didn't think I had a problem with alcohol because I was able to stop what I was doing.
    But I know damn well I had been very close to becoming an alcoholic.
    Fast forward to 2024, and I am healthy and well. I can have a couple of pints at my
    local, and not feel the need to go on drinking. I am able to have drinks with family at
    gatherings, and not need to go on!
    I just wanted to pass my experience on to others on the channel, to help people see
    they MAY have a looming problem.

    So glad you made it out of there Steve. Listening to this I can feel the loneliness and the desperation, and the sadness in particular - I don't know what it is about alcohol but when I drink on my own I do feel incredibly sad and tearful. The evenings are the worst by far - I don't generally drink til the evenings but I have so many days when I feel just awful all day from the night before. By the time it gets to about 6 or 7 I'm going out to get a bottle of wine to repeat the whole process again. Crazy making.

    He was only 20 at the time.

    going on social media like Facebook when you're feeling bad and lost in life through alcohol is more torture..it escalates the depression as you start judging yourself against others but it's true to force yourself to eat and exercise like even a simple walk every day you hear folk saying it takes months, etc to get better but it doesn't..a week of taking the simple steps without alcohol makes a massive difference
