Im the same as you man an alcoholic, i finally got help went to rehab in 2017 and stayed clean and sober over a year and then relapsed and used for about 6 months, but i got back on the wagon and have almost 2 years sober now. Life is tough sometimes but ive gotten some peace from forming a connection with some sort of higher power. I know it sounds corny but iam a bettet person now. wish you well Evan there are lots of people that can relate to you
You go pale sweat shake become sick in some cases have seizures. Apparently the withdrawal is worse than heroin and such and is actually dangerous because you can die from the withdrawal.
A personal friend of mine went through it, it was bad he couldnt dress or anything I remember having to bathe him before taking him to the hospital once.
@Ass Clown break it down into smaller chunks if you need to. Start with sober for a weekend, then 3 days then 5 days and work your way to that coveted week. Then you can work to 2 weeks and then month, multiple months, a year to multiple years and ultimately to a lifetime of soberness. You can do this! You got this!
self promises are always embarrassing to think back on when you break them. I can only imagine what it's like when it's in the form of a youtube video with half a million views LOL. I've had a drinking problem in my late 20s - early 30s and I finally feel like I'm putting it behind me. No booze for over 2 months now and no desire to drink whatsoever
Bro I'm 2 years clean off a 10 year heroin addiction and have accomplished soo much and learning to love life again! You got this man, Ive watched ur videos for years and never had any idea you were struggling with addiction. This was sooo damn powerful cuz Ive never heard someone so ready and to be able to explain the despair so well! That took an extreme amount of courage to admit that and then to do it to a damn camera and audience!! Ur a lot stronger than me bro you got this! I cant wait to see the opposite of this video soon!
Dude, you're amazing too! I've seen the things heroin addicts go through and to be clean.... That's no small thing. Not even close. Congratulations! I hope you're still going strong!
Hey man, Even if you're coming back to this video after failing, thats OK too... just try to be patient with the process. Sometimes its not as easy as "this is the day" but its certainly the biggest step. Good luck brother, we're all rooting for you
@@Shmyrk Suboxone helped me quit. I'm just over a year clean. It's good to hear he has his families help because that is huge. I definitely wouldn't have quit without my family.
Falcons8455 yea but if you’re still using subs you’re not clean just remember that bro. Not saying you are but if you are, get rid of them shits. Unfortunately I had to quit cold turkey or else my wife was out with the kids. That gave me enough motivation to deal with the pain.
"I can do this." Yes you absofuckinglutely can. You got this, dude. Keep your head up and keep looking forward and soon this step becomes a leap and next thing you know you're 5 months sober and loving it. You got this, man. I'm rooting for you.
You got this Evan!! You are stronger than you think!!!! I hope you make a great recovery, and I hope that one day you look back at this video, and realized how for you have come. Keep moving forward my dude. You got this!!!!
@@Thumbogreen I missed my first meeting today. Didn't mean to . im in the middle of a unexpected move. But I'm ten years in. Waking up hearing what this other guy did. We're in an important time and we need to be sober and vigilant
My older sister and I are fans of your content. I have honestly been drinking almost every day since last September since my beloved cat passed away and times are hard since this damn pandemic. Nothing bad to say about this. Just that is men have no other choice usually but to cope alone.
Watching this video about 11 months ago, I was not ready to quit. I was definitely %100 rooting for you, but I wasn't ready to root for me yet. What your video did was plant the seed, and its message stayed with me and grew. I'm now almost 4 months sober because of this video. "I must end the cycle, I'm doing this for me" resonates loud and clear, and was something I repeated a thousand times a day, and still do. Thank you Evan for giving me my life back.
@@OHG_Fawx everybody has feelings and emotions fear is one of those emotions if you only have the courage to share your fear that makes you more then annother
Just yesterday I woke up hungover with a phone call from my girlfriend telling me how mean I was, I've been drinking a lot lately and I'm trying to get it together. Watching this helps a lot. Been following you since vine man, thank you and good luck with your recovery.
Hey brotha. I am 2 years 2 months and 4 days clean today. I just noticed this video, and the message you have is deep. You need to know that you are not alone. That there are so many people out here that have the same disease. I’m 32 and used since I was 14. I always thought it was a normal thing to do. I burned so many bridges, hurt so many people, both friends and family, yet never realized that I actually had a problem until that one faithful day a little over two years ago. I may have this amount of time but I am no better than anyone. I fight my thoughts to use every day, every damn day, but I CHOOSE not to use ONE DAY AT A TIME. You CAN do this. Stay sober, stay safe, and live life the way you always wanted to.
Any progress is progress, doesn't matter how small the step you took it's one step closer to what you want. Just keep moving forward, don't give up on what you want.
I have always admired you, Evan. Your spirit for creative exploration and self expression is unrivaled in my opinion.. You CAN do this, and also, I’m not going to waste this day high now. Thank you for the continued inspiration. Sending my thoughts G
Well done for admitting you have a problem and you aim to make your life better, I've seen what alcohol can do, my mate recently attacked his best friend of 15yrs due to his drinking problem instead of accepting that he has a problem he blames everyone for his misfortune, so what your doing right counts for alot and not many people admit it or owe to them selves to change, good on you for making the first step in the right direction.
I don't follow a lot of your videos, but I'm already proud of you bro! Narcotics Anonymous has changed my life! There's always support out there for you man!
I'm in recovery too bro, I get it. We do recover. Find a meeting, get a sponsor, and work the steps (healing) and dont quit before your spiritual awakening and miracle(s) happen. Keep up these videos. We love you!!!
@@psilocybin097 then hopefully you'll find a "real" reason to quit. (atheist here as well). I started getting heart palpitatuons I was drinking so much. 1.75L of vodka every 5 days. That's was my wakeup call.
@@psilocybin097 its not necessarily about god. It can be any higher power. I know a lady once in recovery that had a bird as her higher power. I dont personally believe in god. I belive in myself and the people around me all as one if that makes any sense.
@@psilocybin097 The point of having a higher power in recovery is so that you can be in the care of a loving power greater than yourself. For addicts and alcoholics the substance was our higher power, so we need to change it to something positive. It doesn't have to be the God you learned about from your respective religious institution or parents. It can be anything greater than yourself which is loving and caring. Something as simple as being in a room of people who love you fits the criteria.
hey. I quit 100 days ago after years of wanting to quit and not being able to. i recommend the stopdrinking subreddit, which has been a pleasant community for me. keep going, its worth it.
I love you bro! Thanks for making me laugh when i was at my lowest. Hope you are doing better. I hope you are happy and healthy now. I came back to this video whenever I feel low. I can’t even explain why this video makes me feel motivated. It gives me a push whenever I feel low. I will end the cycle. Thanks for everything man! Stay happy!
Today me and my sister remembered you while cleaning the house, I told her your not fam anymore cause ur moves are weak and we laughed and came back to watch the video. Then I found this and I'm so sorry, be strong you are not alone. We are all here supporting you. You're a great comedian with great content and so much potential. Don't give up. Please ❤
It would be cool if the next scene was the moral conscience of a foodbank - just to be genuine. Oh, great film aswell. ruclips.net/video/s_n7o30Ra60/видео.html&lc=Ugz0WLqg2b5tYf-gUjp4AaABAg.8m_mY6_Fi7w8pmQs9OFSTi
You’ve made me laugh for years; I don’t know what I’d do if we lost you, and lots of people here think the same thing. Whenever you post a video, not only do you make us all laugh but you also say “I’m still here and I’ll be alive next year.”
I grew up with alcoholics in my family. I grew up with a fear of becoming one. I didn't have my first drink till I was 25. And I only allow myself a certain amount to never become drunk. I only drink if I'm in a good headspace. Even though I allow myself to loosen up and drink, im still so overly cautious. I respect this, and you, so much. Good luck, you got this.
I'm in the same boat. Currently 18, never drank because of the past in my family. All my friends around me do it and I've never given in to the pressure. I might do it when I'm older and my brain is fully matured
I lived the same life! I'm 29, barely drink at all. I grew up around alcoholics, grew up in a pub, saw and witnessed things caused due to alcohol that put me off for life. I smoke, but never touch alcohol unless it's my birthday or christmas or something like that.
Holy shit this is pretty much what I did when I wanted to get sober 3 years ago. One time I was so depressed while using I wanted myself to remember it so I wrote 20 pages in a notebook just how I felt and how I wanted to quit. A year of failures and getting back up and have been sober for 2 years. Best thing I've ever done and I still have those pages. Good luck on your journey, it'll be tough but I know you'll be fine.
I’ve been subscribed to you for a long time. I’ve also been an alcoholic for a long time. I’ve been struggling to get sober for a long fucking time. And for whatever reason this popped up in my recommended section today, a year after you posted it. I have loved your videos for so long, and I had NO IDEA that we shared this struggle. I’m inspired and proud of you. Thank you so fucking much for posting this.
I hope your recovery goes well. I'm 116 days sober today after using heroin and pills every day for about 3 years and I feel so much better now. You got this bro!!! Keep us updated we care about you man.
This was posted 4 months ago. I hope you're still sober and on the road to recovery. I was fighting alcoholism for years. For 16 years it gradually got worse. I lost everything. Relationships and jobs became second to my drinking. I hated it, but I couldn't change, no matter how hard I tried. I felt overwhelmingly hopeless. I couldn't see a future for myself. Once, a friend of mine told me her brother was celebrating 7 years sobriety. I couldn't imagine it for myself. I couldn't even imagine 1 year. I believed I would never see that for myself. But here I am, about to be 14 years sober. Alcoholism is no joke. People think you can just quit, but it gets such a hold on you that you can't make decisions for yourself. You end up imprisoned inside yourself having no control. You're forced to watch as your body destroys itself. I'm a testimony that a person CAN quit. It IS possible to see 7 years sobriety. Find something your passionate about and fill all your time with it. If there are still places you don't associate with drinking, like fancy restaurants, movies,...go there instead of places you'll be tempted to drink. For me, it was church. I focused on learning all I could. If the life it promised was truly better, I was willing to try. I got a girlfriend that I wanted to be a better person for. She had no problem with living a sober lifestyle. I took her to the movies and fancy restaurants all the time, because I wasn't tempted to drink at those places. She would buy puzzles for us to stay home and complete instead of me going to the bar. I kept myself busy, focusing on becoming a better person. Months turned to years and years are now over a decade. You can do it. I know you can. But the change has to come from within you. I tried to run away from it, moved to a few different states. But I kept running into the same people, drinkers. It was because I hadn't changed. I was still the same on the inside, looking for what was comfortable. Until I changed that, it didn't matter how many times I changed my surroundings. You can do it. I hope you're well and still fighting.
Getting no comments on this comment is embarrassing for humanity. Good job. I'm one month sober now. Many people out there are in the very battle every day. Its hard. Its so easy to drink everything away. But waking up wondering what destruction you've cause its incredibly hard. So you drink again. Things progress the wounds grow deeper and you grow more alone. Yup I've done it too. I'm 25 I have a great chance to change my life and I did 1 month ago now. I feel incredible now. Productive, creative, healthier and happier.
Get better my dude. Been watching for years and appreciate all the laughs. But you gotta work on you and get better and make the best life you can make.
This, what I just saw, is EXACTLY the perfect way to prove just how strong you are. Your honesty, your desire to get better, and your persistence *WILL* make you better. I believe in you man. We all believe in you.
I've made other people not okay in the process of not being okay and I'm not okay with that, OK?" Felt that. You're an inspiration and not alone my dude, we''re supporting you along the way. You got this!
Unknowingly, A lot of other people needed to hear this right now too dude. I know I did. Been clean for a while but the mind wanders when you least expect it. Keep taking steps forward. You got this.
@@studderboxx5488 I know programs help a lot of people out there, but all you need is to believe in yourself and to want it bad enough. I'm 10 years sober, no program.
handwashedstars Exactly bro. I’m 3 years myself and I was able to get through it and do it myself cuz all I had to do was believe. Gotta cut ties with all the ppl who were in the same boat with u doing and it sucks having to do that cuz it was friends who I’ve had since middle school but you gotta do what you gotta do. Idk how u feel about religion but praying and believing in Christ to help you was all I needed. That and just believing yourself like you said
@@mikeekim4702 I'm not really religious. Congrats on your 3 years though! I have nothing against religion, but the 12 steps and groups like AA and NA are basically the same thing as religion when it comes to getting sober. It comes back around to the same thing, you just gotta believe in yourself. Regardless though, i'm glad people out there are able to get sober no matter the path they take to do so.
I came to watch a classic piece of RUclips gold and left with heavy feels. I have had this conversation so many times in my past. Sober since 8/5/2019. It’s difficult but possible. You have my support.
The difficult thing with that approach and alcoholism is that you tell yourself "It's fine, I'll just drink less often. This week, I'm only going to drink 3 nights instead of 7." Then, after the first night, you're hungover and you think "It's fine, I'll just have a few beers this afternoon to help with the hangover." Then a few beers turns into 12. You're hungover again. You say "It's fine, I'll just have a few beers tonight to help with the hangover. The cycle repeats. This is what he's talking about when he says "break the cycle." It's extremely difficult to just slowly make progress when it comes to quitting. When it's gotten as bad as it has for him, best bet is to go cold turkey in rehab. Withdrawals can be deadly. However, mentally, this is absolutely true. You cannot expect complete perfection in your mental state right when you quit. That will definitely take time.
Dude, I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this. And if I were more up to date with your current affairs I would have supported you in your time of need. But I'm here now and I hope you have successfully dealt with your demons and have forgiven yourself for past mistakes. Addiction is a hard thing to battle but you can't beat yourself up for things that have happened, what you need to do is learn and grow from these experiences. I think the world of you. So much love and much support.
Dude, you can do this. So many people are behind you. Can't wait to see all that you keep accomplishing.

You CAN do this. The time is NOW. Reach out when you need support ❤️
Be careful with alcohol withdrawals, it’s very dangerous, I’m still going through it, it’s scary, but I promise you it’s worth it. I promise.
How do you tell if you're addicted? Physically? Dw if you don't wanna answer
You go pale sweat shake become sick in some cases have seizures. Apparently the withdrawal is worse than heroin and such and is actually dangerous because you can die from the withdrawal.
A personal friend of mine went through it, it was bad he couldnt dress or anything I remember having to bathe him before taking him to the hospital once.
As far as the first steps of noticing it I'm not sure just what I have observed and been told.
Seriously don’t ever go cold turkey - do it in a hospital. It can and will kill you.
Wow seems like a lot of people are rooting for you bud, good luck
Almost been a year, hope you’re doing well. Would love a follow up
he’s active on twitter, don’t know if he’s addressed this again though
@Ass Clown break it down into smaller chunks if you need to. Start with sober for a weekend, then 3 days then 5 days and work your way to that coveted week. Then you can work to 2 weeks and then month, multiple months, a year to multiple years and ultimately to a lifetime of soberness. You can do this! You got this!
self promises are always embarrassing to think back on when you break them. I can only imagine what it's like when it's in the form of a youtube video with half a million views LOL. I've had a drinking problem in my late 20s - early 30s and I finally feel like I'm putting it behind me. No booze for over 2 months now and no desire to drink whatsoever
If anyone has the M O V E S to get through this, it’s you, fam.
Awww I love this, fam.
His moves are weak
@@ctfcNIG shut up, fam only, you beach
@@ChergioPad im not fam anymore? Dad?
This is the BEST comment! He definitely has the moves lol
Was waiting for the first joke during the first 30 seconds or so... then started watching seriously. You the man Evan, you got this.
Jack Farr on god😭
I’m a week sober and man, I really want the best for myself. This is now and we are here. This is the beginning but we are strong.
You've got this. It's gonna be hard, but with help you are going to make it.
What a legend! Congrats on 1 week. Keep busy, and remember how strong you are and don’t be afraid to talk to someone if times get hard.
Good job! Keep it up
AWESOME! I'm a year sober from my addiction and life couldn't be better.
day 9 for me here! we can do it
Bro I'm 2 years clean off a 10 year heroin addiction and have accomplished soo much and learning to love life again! You got this man, Ive watched ur videos for years and never had any idea you were struggling with addiction. This was sooo damn powerful cuz Ive never heard someone so ready and to be able to explain the despair so well! That took an extreme amount of courage to admit that and then to do it to a damn camera and audience!! Ur a lot stronger than me bro you got this! I cant wait to see the opposite of this video soon!
Dude, you're amazing too! I've seen the things heroin addicts go through and to be clean.... That's no small thing. Not even close. Congratulations! I hope you're still going strong!
@@sarahmayo6963 thank you! I love the support and yes so glad to say stronger than ever!
@@euroshane Hell yeah, dude! I hope you're proud of yourself EVERY SINGLE DAY
Hey man,
Even if you're coming back to this video after failing, thats OK too... just try to be patient with the process. Sometimes its not as easy as "this is the day" but its certainly the biggest step.
Good luck brother, we're all rooting for you
Good advice
Thank you
This is nice. It applies to many, not just one.
perfect comment. Every time you try you'll get closer and understand it more and more.
2 years clean here (heroin) and my buddy who saved me is goin on 1 year from alcohol and crack. Keep it up dude, you got this.
Any pointers for H? Trying to help my brother
@@Shmyrk Suboxone helped me quit. I'm just over a year clean. It's good to hear he has his families help because that is huge. I definitely wouldn't have quit without my family.
Falcons8455 thanks man. Great job dood, keep clean!
Falcons8455 keep on keeping on man, you got this!
Falcons8455 yea but if you’re still using subs you’re not clean just remember that bro. Not saying you are but if you are, get rid of them shits. Unfortunately I had to quit cold turkey or else my wife was out with the kids. That gave me enough motivation to deal with the pain.
"I can do this."
Yes you absofuckinglutely can. You got this, dude. Keep your head up and keep looking forward and soon this step becomes a leap and next thing you know you're 5 months sober and loving it. You got this, man. I'm rooting for you.
You got this Evan!! You are stronger than you think!!!! I hope you make a great recovery, and I hope that one day you look back at this video, and realized how for you have come. Keep moving forward my dude. You got this!!!!
I'm 10 months 27 days clean after 24 years of hardcore drug and alcohol abuse. The key is to surrender and ask for help. Good luck my man!
Gusset Blaster you still blaze
@@obhex9084 is that a statement or a question?
A!aaa
I struggle with alcohol as well. Proud of you man. Keep your head up and stay strong my guy.
Same here. You can do it bro.
Brian Perkins been sober for a year and a half now go to aa
@@Thumbogreen I missed my first meeting today. Didn't mean to . im in the middle of a unexpected move. But I'm ten years in. Waking up hearing what this other guy did. We're in an important time and we need to be sober and vigilant
You can do it Evan. I believe In you.
My older sister and I are fans of your content. I have honestly been drinking almost every day since last September since my beloved cat passed away and times are hard since this damn pandemic. Nothing bad to say about this. Just that is men have no other choice usually but to cope alone.
"I've made other people not okay in the process of being not okay, and I'm not okay with that, okay?" I feel ya hard on that one. Good luck bro!
"Nobody's taken it from me, I GAVE it away"
That was beautifully profound. Put on your armor now, it's time to fight homie (you totally got this!)
It’s November 17, 2019 today. Just know I still think about you everyday and I hope you’re doing better man. We love you.
It’s May 29th, 2020. I hope he’s okay
@@meghan_. I have hope for him.. he always did have the MOVES!!
Watching this video about 11 months ago, I was not ready to quit. I was definitely %100 rooting for you, but I wasn't ready to root for me yet. What your video did was plant the seed, and its message stayed with me and grew. I'm now almost 4 months sober because of this video. "I must end the cycle, I'm doing this for me" resonates loud and clear, and was something I repeated a thousand times a day, and still do. Thank you Evan for giving me my life back.
6 months clean
@@illnation82 I’m proud of you, man. Keep on keeping on.
Accountability is an important thing in recovery, you’re making an amazing first step!
Why is it that the funniest people have the darkest shadows?
Comedy is a very effective defense mechanism. Its served me well for decades.

Just yesterday I woke up hungover with a phone call from my girlfriend telling me how mean I was, I've been drinking a lot lately and I'm trying to get it together. Watching this helps a lot.
Been following you since vine man, thank you and good luck with your recovery.
You've got this bud, I believe you can be the best you can be, and you've got this. World is yours for the taking !
The first steps to fixing a problem is admitting there is one.
Keep going brother, you can do this!
I'm two years sober now after 10 years of alcohol hell. I hear your pain mate, I know that place. Much love.
One of the most talented and creative youtubers/content creators out there. We’re with you all the way.
Your moves are strong.
Stay in there brother. I’m inspired by your courage to talk about this and rooting for you 100%.
Hey brotha. I am 2 years 2 months and 4 days clean today. I just noticed this video, and the message you have is deep. You need to know that you are not alone. That there are so many people out here that have the same disease. I’m 32 and used since I was 14. I always thought it was a normal thing to do. I burned so many bridges, hurt so many people, both friends and family, yet never realized that I actually had a problem until that one faithful day a little over two years ago. I may have this amount of time but I am no better than anyone. I fight my thoughts to use every day, every damn day, but I CHOOSE not to use ONE DAY AT A TIME. You CAN do this. Stay sober, stay safe, and live life the way you always wanted to.
Any progress is progress, doesn't matter how small the step you took it's one step closer to what you want. Just keep moving forward, don't give up on what you want.
You got this dude! It's all about progress and not perfection💙
Chloe Ryanne you know my friend bill don’t you ;)
I have always admired you, Evan. Your spirit for creative exploration and self expression is unrivaled in my opinion.. You CAN do this, and also, I’m not going to waste this day high now. Thank you for the continued inspiration. Sending my thoughts G
Well done for admitting you have a problem and you aim to make your life better, I've seen what alcohol can do, my mate recently attacked his best friend of 15yrs due to his drinking problem instead of accepting that he has a problem he blames everyone for his misfortune, so what your doing right counts for alot and not many people admit it or owe to them selves to change, good on you for making the first step in the right direction.
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BROTHER, NO SUBSTANCE CAN CONTROL YOU, YOU CONTROL YOU 🖤
"I've made other people not okay in the process of not being okay, and I'm not okay with that." ❤️
I feel you, stay strong brother.
Okay
Recovery is possible man. It worked for me. AA saved my life.
You got this.
I don't follow a lot of your videos, but I'm already proud of you bro! Narcotics Anonymous has changed my life! There's always support out there for you man!
I'm in recovery too bro, I get it. We do recover. Find a meeting, get a sponsor, and work the steps (healing) and dont quit before your spiritual awakening and miracle(s) happen. Keep up these videos. We love you!!!
What If you do not believe in god?
@@psilocybin097 then hopefully you'll find a "real" reason to quit. (atheist here as well). I started getting heart palpitatuons I was drinking so much. 1.75L of vodka every 5 days. That's was my wakeup call.
@@psilocybin097 its not necessarily about god. It can be any higher power. I know a lady once in recovery that had a bird as her higher power. I dont personally believe in god. I belive in myself and the people around me all as one if that makes any sense.
@@psilocybin097 The point of having a higher power in recovery is so that you can be in the care of a loving power greater than yourself. For addicts and alcoholics the substance was our higher power, so we need to change it to something positive. It doesn't have to be the God you learned about from your respective religious institution or parents. It can be anything greater than yourself which is loving and caring. Something as simple as being in a room of people who love you fits the criteria.
hey. I quit 100 days ago after years of wanting to quit and not being able to. i recommend the stopdrinking subreddit, which has been a pleasant community for me. keep going, its worth it.
You helped me smiling through hard times, thank you for that. Now it's your turn! Hold on to positivity and break the cycle!
I love you bro! Thanks for making me laugh when i was at my lowest. Hope you are doing better. I hope you are happy and healthy now. I came back to this video whenever I feel low. I can’t even explain why this video makes me feel motivated. It gives me a push whenever I feel low.
I will end the cycle.
Thanks for everything man!
Stay happy!
He posted a new video today! He seems to be doing great, and I sincerely hope you are too!
Today me and my sister remembered you while cleaning the house, I told her your not fam anymore cause ur moves are weak and we laughed and came back to watch the video.
Then I found this and I'm so sorry, be strong you are not alone.
We are all here supporting you.
You're a great comedian with great content and so much potential.
Don't give up. Please ❤
It would be cool if the next scene was the moral conscience of a foodbank - just to be genuine.
Oh, great film aswell.

That's exactly the same way I got here. We love and support you Evan!
I hope you keep doing well man. Best of luck.
You’ve made me laugh for years; I don’t know what I’d do if we lost you, and lots of people here think the same thing. Whenever you post a video, not only do you make us all laugh but you also say “I’m still here and I’ll be alive next year.”
I grew up with alcoholics in my family. I grew up with a fear of becoming one. I didn't have my first drink till I was 25. And I only allow myself a certain amount to never become drunk. I only drink if I'm in a good headspace. Even though I allow myself to loosen up and drink, im still so overly cautious.
I respect this, and you, so much.
Good luck, you got this.
I'm in the same boat. Currently 18, never drank because of the past in my family. All my friends around me do it and I've never given in to the pressure. I might do it when I'm older and my brain is fully matured
I lived the same life! I'm 29, barely drink at all. I grew up around alcoholics, grew up in a pub, saw and witnessed things caused due to alcohol that put me off for life. I smoke, but never touch alcohol unless it's my birthday or christmas or something like that.
Holy shit this is pretty much what I did when I wanted to get sober 3 years ago. One time I was so depressed while using I wanted myself to remember it so I wrote 20 pages in a notebook just how I felt and how I wanted to quit. A year of failures and getting back up and have been sober for 2 years. Best thing I've ever done and I still have those pages. Good luck on your journey, it'll be tough but I know you'll be fine.
Bass Bear power to you man keep up the fine work
This is the right step.. Good luck 🍀
I’ve been subscribed to you for a long time. I’ve also been an alcoholic for a long time. I’ve been struggling to get sober for a long fucking time. And for whatever reason this popped up in my recommended section today, a year after you posted it. I have loved your videos for so long, and I had NO IDEA that we shared this struggle. I’m inspired and proud of you. Thank you so fucking much for posting this.
I hope your recovery goes well. I'm 116 days sober today after using heroin and pills every day for about 3 years and I feel so much better now. You got this bro!!! Keep us updated we care about you man.
KEEP GOING BRO. I’ve got five months of H I just need to quit this alcohol now ::
This was posted 4 months ago. I hope you're still sober and on the road to recovery. I was fighting alcoholism for years. For 16 years it gradually got worse. I lost everything. Relationships and jobs became second to my drinking. I hated it, but I couldn't change, no matter how hard I tried. I felt overwhelmingly hopeless. I couldn't see a future for myself. Once, a friend of mine told me her brother was celebrating 7 years sobriety. I couldn't imagine it for myself. I couldn't even imagine 1 year. I believed I would never see that for myself. But here I am, about to be 14 years sober. Alcoholism is no joke. People think you can just quit, but it gets such a hold on you that you can't make decisions for yourself. You end up imprisoned inside yourself having no control. You're forced to watch as your body destroys itself.
I'm a testimony that a person CAN quit. It IS possible to see 7 years sobriety. Find something your passionate about and fill all your time with it. If there are still places you don't associate with drinking, like fancy restaurants, movies,...go there instead of places you'll be tempted to drink. For me, it was church. I focused on learning all I could. If the life it promised was truly better, I was willing to try. I got a girlfriend that I wanted to be a better person for. She had no problem with living a sober lifestyle. I took her to the movies and fancy restaurants all the time, because I wasn't tempted to drink at those places. She would buy puzzles for us to stay home and complete instead of me going to the bar. I kept myself busy, focusing on becoming a better person. Months turned to years and years are now over a decade.
You can do it. I know you can. But the change has to come from within you. I tried to run away from it, moved to a few different states. But I kept running into the same people, drinkers. It was because I hadn't changed. I was still the same on the inside, looking for what was comfortable. Until I changed that, it didn't matter how many times I changed my surroundings.
You can do it. I hope you're well and still fighting.
Thanks for sharing. Your story is powerful.
Getting no comments on this comment is embarrassing for humanity. Good job. I'm one month sober now. Many people out there are in the very battle every day. Its hard. Its so easy to drink everything away. But waking up wondering what destruction you've cause its incredibly hard. So you drink again. Things progress the wounds grow deeper and you grow more alone. Yup I've done it too. I'm 25 I have a great chance to change my life and I did 1 month ago now. I feel incredible now. Productive, creative, healthier and happier.
Been watching you forever and knew you struggled. Mad props yo
I've done it and it's so hard. The strength alone to do this is awesome.
how ??

I'm with you 100% I had this moment today I wasted 6 years of my life to alchohol no more I'm with you buddy you got this
Kasper you got it homie
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life
The hardest thing is admitting it to yourself and you've done that, hopefully you can allow yourself to be proud. Good luck with everything man
Get better my dude. Been watching for years and appreciate all the laughs. But you gotta work on you and get better and make the best life you can make.
I hope you are getting clean. Took me many attempts over about 3~4 years. Now, still sober for a few years. Much better to be clear headed.
Love you vids made me get through hard times get well soon
This, what I just saw, is EXACTLY the perfect way to prove just how strong you are.
Your honesty, your desire to get better, and your persistence *WILL* make you better. I believe in you man. We all believe in you.
I've made other people not okay in the process of not being okay and I'm not okay with that, OK?"
Felt that. You're an inspiration and not alone my dude, we''re supporting you along the way. You got this!
Keep checking in and I really hope you’re doing okay. I have similar struggles and I have you in my heart. Stay strong big man x
Unknowingly, A lot of other people needed to hear this right now too dude. I know I did. Been clean for a while but the mind wanders when you least expect it. Keep taking steps forward. You got this.
Hearing 7 years was crushing. You do this for you man, be the man you know you can be.
Bro I'm 5 years off heroin and my life is genuinely good. 12 step programs work for me. HMU if I can help
I really need to get into a program myself. 10 yrs is long enough
@@studderboxx5488 I know programs help a lot of people out there, but all you need is to believe in yourself and to want it bad enough. I'm 10 years sober, no program.
handwashedstars congrats brother, god bless.
handwashedstars Exactly bro. I’m 3 years myself and I was able to get through it and do it myself cuz all I had to do was believe. Gotta cut ties with all the ppl who were in the same boat with u doing and it sucks having to do that cuz it was friends who I’ve had since middle school but you gotta do what you gotta do. Idk how u feel about religion but praying and believing in Christ to help you was all I needed. That and just believing yourself like you said
@@mikeekim4702 I'm not really religious. Congrats on your 3 years though! I have nothing against religion, but the 12 steps and groups like AA and NA are basically the same thing as religion when it comes to getting sober. It comes back around to the same thing, you just gotta believe in yourself. Regardless though, i'm glad people out there are able to get sober no matter the path they take to do so.
I came to watch a classic piece of RUclips gold and left with heavy feels. I have had this conversation so many times in my past. Sober since 8/5/2019. It’s difficult but possible. You have my support.
Been sober for about a year. Best decision I ever made. Best of luck to you.
congrats to you! I am happy you are in a better place
Big respect to you for tackling your problems head on. You got this brother, seriously. You can do it.
Bro one quote that I live by “progress not perfection”. Change takes time and it’s hard to just 180 a lifestyle
Mushtop thank you

Gamer quote.
cynister big brain quote
The difficult thing with that approach and alcoholism is that you tell yourself "It's fine, I'll just drink less often. This week, I'm only going to drink 3 nights instead of 7." Then, after the first night, you're hungover and you think "It's fine, I'll just have a few beers this afternoon to help with the hangover." Then a few beers turns into 12. You're hungover again. You say "It's fine, I'll just have a few beers tonight to help with the hangover. The cycle repeats. This is what he's talking about when he says "break the cycle." It's extremely difficult to just slowly make progress when it comes to quitting. When it's gotten as bad as it has for him, best bet is to go cold turkey in rehab. Withdrawals can be deadly. However, mentally, this is absolutely true. You cannot expect complete perfection in your mental state right when you quit. That will definitely take time.
I struggled for long time as well. So, so proud of you homie. Five years sober this year. You can too. Love ya!
We're all here for you, you've got this
shed tears. we love you man. all my friends do too. you got this man.
Take one day at a time turtle and before you know it, you will forget how long its been. We all support ya
Dude, I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this. And if I were more up to date with your current affairs I would have supported you in your time of need. But I'm here now and I hope you have successfully dealt with your demons and have forgiven yourself for past mistakes. Addiction is a hard thing to battle but you can't beat yourself up for things that have happened, what you need to do is learn and grow from these experiences. I think the world of you. So much love and much support.
July 9th of this year is 2 years since my husband or I have drank alcohol. You can do this my dude.
