Drinking from age 16 to 65,been through the whole gambit. Too painful to remember. Made the final decision to quit. Did just that, at the age of 65.Guess it was that or l was on the final downward track. Now aged 93,and never looked back. In perfect health, no medication.
I totally respect anyone who can find the courage to give up alcohol. You can do this, whoever you are. Thank you for interviewing so sensitively here Tim. This is a very real huge topic. Marie-Louise
Man I've been struggling the past decade with alcoholism. I'm sure sobriety will result in many positives in my life, but the thought of permanently removing it and my ego believing I can tame alcohol, has led me to desperately wanting sobriety, but constantly relapsing. I'm on sobriety attempt #999999 and I hope I can maintain it because there's so much I want to do and accomplish which alcohol is preventing.
I am here seeking information and wisdom. My son who is 31 has had a tough year. He had been trying to get a specific job for about four years. He had been part time/ seasonal. He finally was hired with excellent pay and benefits, just as his drinking hit critical mass. He promptly lost the job and I guess it has been six months and he has been through the wringer. He recently was hospitalized for acute alcohol withdrawal with the full spectrum of symptoms including hallucinations. He says he is too scared to risk it again but I don’t think fear is the best motivator. When he was in a 30 day rehab I was shown how much alcohol is pervasive in our life I was gathering some T-shirts for him and had a hard time finding any that weren’t emblazoned with a beer logo. My thoughts are that you need to rebuild your life without alcohol being an ever present factor. Focus on learning to have fun without a buzz. Good luck.
I’m 37 and struggle with addiction. I’ve been abusing substances since I was 15. I don’t know how to become sober. I feel happy for those who were able to achieve it.
I am 5 months alcohol free today and have no plans to ever drink again. I spent most of my 30's in a spiral of depression and drinking to cope with it. I thought I could hide the drinking and boy was I wrong - got to the point where family and friends couldn't stand to be around me. I am going to be 40 next month and am so happy I made the decision to cut booze from my life for good. My relationships for the most part have started to heal, I feel like I have so much more control of my life and my entire mentality about alcohol has changed to the point where it almost grosses me out to look at it. If you are struggling please know you have the power within you to get better - it is tough at first of course and involves a drastic lifestyle change but once you want it - and want it for yourself and not just others - you will eventually find yourself wondering how you ever even lived like that. Trust me when I say I thought I was hopeless - I wasn't and you are not either.
I fortunately never been addicted to alcohol but I hated drinking and the way it made me feel… I was only drinking due to strong peer pressure… I have made the decision on New Year to stop completely drinking. I lost my best friend over this choice as she only socialise with drinking and I realised that I could not deal with her while sober…Being Sober really changed my life for the better and happier… good luck to you all and stay strong…
Alcoholics can't stand people like yo who day they hate how it made you feel. You don't get that for people with trauma it makes them feel better. Sick of reading this type of comment, nothing personal just sick if hearing it. Thankfully I am sober. But with my level of trauma it's hard. You're lucky you don't even know how lucky you are
Week 1 of sobering from alcohol and drugs 🎉 finally taking up my life head on with no alcohol especially I knew I had a problem from the beginning when I wasn’t using it for fun more so to cope with my past and my current life.
Day 160 - Dropped 15 pounds 2 ½ inches off the waist Significant improvements in: • Reflexes • Eyesight • Inflammation • Joint swelling • Sleep • Energy level • Brain functions • Articulation • Memory - long and short term • Eye-hand coordination • Eliminated the jitters Wake up in the morning with no body aches, head aches or muscle stiffness!
I’m a year late to this video. But I finally made the decision yesterday to surrender and admit that I’m powerless over alcohol. The lonely and desperate feeling is soooo accurate. And cycling back and forth between drinking and not drinking is so obnoxious: because I’d get a few days, weeks, and even months but the disease would trick me into thinking I’m better or I can a few but it always goes back to benders and feeling miserable 24/7. But going into 2024 I’m so hungry or thirsty to abstain from alcohol. I know it’s gonna be a lifestyle change from now on which is sad to me now, but I’ll thank myself later the deeper I get in my path of sobriety. Also I’m currently 26 going on 27.
I can go to the bar or dope house to try to impress unimpressive people, or go to NA, AA or healthy places where I dont need to impress very impressive people. Recovery for life.
Quit drinking one year two months ago. I never imagined being in this position, but easily the best descision of my life. Thank you, very powerful video Thanks. You can do it, One day at a time 🙏🏻 God bless
Everything he said is my exact experience at 41 minus the DUI and losing my job. So many days I missed worked due to being hung over. Letting my family down daily. Feeling like hell on a daily all trying to medicate my childhood trauma and any other depressing events along the way. I ruined my son’s birthday with my Alcoholism and woke up the next morning with blood in my mouth. This is the day April 30th I said I’m done. I cried and cried thinking of all the disappointment I have caused myself and my family and my friends. Zero recollection of what and said and did the night before. Too many nights waking up in the care of other peoples homes, cars etc. my rock bottom happened and I didn’t stop drinking. I thought to myself I’ll just manage it. Black out after black out I didn’t manage anything. Woke up after a mild event in my historic patterns and said today is the day. I will not drink anything ever again. I can’t control it and I’m not happy and everyone has had to hold so much space for me and tolerate my behavior and even try to minimize it to comfort me. Im only 8 days sober and I know this will be a journey. I’m just so thankful and looking forward to the new person I always wanted to be ❤
I work day and nights, drinking 30 years or a bit more, starting to get the mother of all hangovers, I think it's that time in life to give it up no fun in it anymore I want to be sober ,sound like I'm bitching but I know it's time might be hard to do but got to get wide
Thanks for sharing your story, there's always someone else out there that goes through far worse experiences than we do, makes you feel more human and helps process your own alcohol problems and regrets. 👍
I need to find a way to access the emotional tools that this man is referring to in his talk. I have managed to go 6 months without drinking and I am confident I can go even longer. Best of luck to all of you who are working on staying sober.
after yesrs of using i managed to get sober for 70 days, then relapesed and used for 6 months, then got sober for 40 days then relapsed for a month then got sober for 24 days then relapsed again yesturday... its a hard road to take, i guess theres progress because i keep trying and getting sober faster after every relapse 🤷♂️
I find if I keep to positive attitude every day it is easy and also I have a very interesting Hobby Model Railway’s stops my mind from thinking about Drinking I am being sober for going on 6 years now Bill
For me it’s not addiction. I don’t feel the need to have booze. I’m just stuck in routine. It’s Friday night, oh it’s a Saturday night, it’s Sunday so I’ll have some as i have work tomorrow etc etc
No one has prepared me for how hard this is would be. I’m on day 5 right now and really struggling. Luckily I wasn’t an alcoholic for too long so the physical withdrawals aren’t bad, however I feel so depressed and worthless and I know alcohol will make me feel better but I also know it’s only a quick fix. Today especially hit me hard as all my friends who I haven’t saw in a while are going on a big night out (perfect timing😅) and I told them I can’t go when deep down I really want to. I know I can go and not drink but it’s too early on and I don’t trust myself not just accepting a drink as none of my friends know how serious I’m being about this. It’s killing me. Please tell me it gets easier
Believe that you can win over this, because you can! You are so much more than that drink or fix. Have faith and remember that your higher power, that Creative Intelligence, whoever or whatever it may be to you, loves you very much and knows what you're made of! Give em hell and give yourself grace. 1 day at a time.
I've been on and off the wagon for years now. 47 now and drinking since 16 but really started heavy drinking from around 30. Started getting severe pains in my stomach and butt. Too embarrassed to see a doc since I was hiding for so long. Now my liver test results show I have some serious issues and need to get tested for serious liver disease. I did it to myself and hope I can turn this around before it's too late but it's soo hard
What it like drinking non alcohol beer I'm at the crossroads fed up with the poison and the mother of all hangovers, don't drink every day , but feed up with the same shit feeling from it not remembering how got home ,not nice feeling, would like your opinion please if you get a chance ,,,thanks 👍
I went beyond sober and awakened after seeing Mama's spirit in the light, whose womb crowned me life. Now I know I was not born in sin, I quit acting out in sin. No one can wash your sin's away but you by making a change. Truth set me free from that steely knife and the lie in Jesus I once believed. I starved out that beast 😉😜
I think Rich is great and I don't want to sound like an a** but he's very fortunate to have parents that are, apparently, well off and understand this disease. The majority of us are left to fight this on our own. Rehab costs are ridiculous. Being an addict in the United States is basically a death sentence unless you have money.
Nah, its a death sentence unless you let go of old ideas. Then, no matter what your fanancial status is, theres a strong fighting chance for an awesome remainder of your life. Addiction doesn't discriminate, and neither does AA/NA.
@@Shammy_V I get it but you can't detox at an AA/NA meeting. There are steps that need to happen before you can just jump into a meeting. The process is bullsh*t and everyone is told that rehab is the answer. Rehab needs to die. That's just a money juggernaut for pricks that don't really care. There are some counselors that are absolutely amazing but they're sucked into this fkn system. It only benefits the rich a$$holes that run the rehabs.
I totally agree. I’m trying to let go of caffeine (mainly coffee) and it has such a grip on me. Anything you feel like you can’t go without ends up controlling you. And that’s a place of imprisonment, not freedom.
@@erindavies3613 You're absolutely right. I'm struggling with caffeine myself, specifically energy drinks. I tried quitting for a few weeks, but relapsed. I swear I will beat this. I have given up alcohol since New Year's Eve, I will give up caffeine. Baby steps.
Honest and true comment! It takes hard work and commitment, you have to do it for yourself and really want it more than anything else in life. I've got 4 years sober coming up september 25th. I finally broke free from alcohol, but battling trauma's is the real though part. Healing takes a lot of dedication and patience, gratitude, self love and putting yourself first, even if that means letting go of people you love but are not healthy for you to be around. It's hard, but it's absoluty worth it. Life is beautiful, no need to numb any feelings. It's okay to feel what you feel. Acceptance, change, growth and wisdom, and getting to know who you really are is a wonderful journey. It's not about the substance. It's about confrontation with yourself and life. Hope this makes sense to you, native language is Dutch 😊
This content is genuinely superb. I absorbed a book with a parallel theme that redirected my life path. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
Who Cares about Rich Roll's opinions and comments??? I read his book, I read it cover to cover and thought it sucked. I went and I ran and ran and ran and got lost in Hawaii and then ran. Believe me, It sucked. I saw a podcast in which Roll invited Goggin's to chat about working out, running, and diet. At that time Roll was Vegan and he was trying to get Goggins to commit verbally to a vegan or veggie life style. Goggin's is Goggin's and he's like " I eat everyone man, fish, beef, lamb, chicken you need all that when you do what I do"! Roll was visibly not cool with that answer. But when you look at where Roll is and where Goggin's is, it self explanatory. In this video, I don't think Roll is committed to sobriety. His head, cheeks and neck are as red as the sun and he doesn't look confident. Just my opinion.

I never had a problem with alcohol. Caffeine is more addictive to me. Everyone is different.
Yeah but coffee doesn't destroy lives lol
Except for slave labour who pick it
@@jamesbyrne9312 It doesn’t fuck people up as hard as alcohol but I do believe that it’s a net negative
I totally agree. I’m trying to let go of caffeine (mainly coffee) and it has such a grip on me. Anything you feel like you can’t go without ends up controlling you. And that’s a place of imprisonment, not freedom.
@@erindavies3613 You're absolutely right. I'm struggling with caffeine myself, specifically energy drinks. I tried quitting for a few weeks, but relapsed. I swear I will beat this. I have given up alcohol since New Year's Eve, I will give up caffeine. Baby steps.
Do I need airpods for that?
Mam wanabe sober here
DUI laws need to change, my best two hobbies are drinking and of course driving. Can I identify as sober when pulled over?
By your judgment displayed in posting this “joke”…maybe consider following in this guy’s footsteps.
Sure you can ASK YOUR LAWYER.

Nothing about committing to sobriety. Just a story.
Honest and true comment! It takes hard work and commitment, you have to do it for yourself and really want it more than anything else in life. I've got 4 years sober coming up september 25th. I finally broke free from alcohol, but battling trauma's is the real though part. Healing takes a lot of dedication and patience, gratitude, self love and putting yourself first, even if that means letting go of people you love but are not healthy for you to be around. It's hard, but it's absoluty worth it. Life is beautiful, no need to numb any feelings. It's okay to feel what you feel. Acceptance, change, growth and wisdom, and getting to know who you really are is a wonderful journey. It's not about the substance. It's about confrontation with yourself and life. Hope this makes sense to you, native language is Dutch 😊

This content is genuinely superb. I absorbed a book with a parallel theme that redirected my life path. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
“She allowed the wedding to go through.” Such typical alcoholic behavior and 20+ years later still blaming her, also typical.
being sober sucks makes me wish I was dead sobriety is so boring omg
It can't be any worse than the living hell of alcoholism
Perhaps you’re doing it wrong.
If being sober sucks ,why be sober..hmm?
@@frankmazzie4855 luckily ive had weed to smoke this whole month but usually its because lack of weed or money or both lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are not sober if you are doing Cannabis, and Rich is truly sober.
Sobriety is not the opposite of addiction.
What would you say is the opposite of addiction? Interpersonal relationships maybe?
yes

Who Cares about Rich Roll's opinions and comments??? I read his book, I read it cover to cover and thought it sucked. I went and I ran and ran and ran and got lost in Hawaii and then ran. Believe me, It sucked.
I saw a podcast in which Roll invited Goggin's to chat about working out, running, and diet. At that time Roll was Vegan and he was trying to get Goggins to commit verbally to a vegan or veggie life style. Goggin's is Goggin's and he's like " I eat everyone man, fish, beef, lamb, chicken you need all that when you do what I do"! Roll was visibly not cool with that answer. But when you look at where Roll is and where Goggin's is, it self explanatory.
In this video, I don't think Roll is committed to sobriety. His head, cheeks and neck are as red as the sun and he doesn't look confident. Just my opinion.
