That's not terrible. I played it while rock climbing. I forgot to put my harness on because the video was so motivating. I figured I could do it without it. Long story short: yeah, I had a nice nap on the way down.
Hello. A few months backwards I left a comment on one of your videos talking about my problems with pathological lying. It was basically me "coming out" to people and trying to be as honest as possible. Now a few months later, my girlfriend and I are celebrating today. I have lived a deception free month. I have not lied for an entire month, and I'm here to thank everyone who supported my comment those few months ago. You guys have really helped me a lot and I am so grateful. Thank you.
It's amazing how the timing is perfect, I have an exam tomorrow morning but I also had a conversation with my mom about me being sad because of my studies. She knows I want to travel and sitting on a chair for hours isn't my thing. But I just have no confidence in myself and I always stay alone because everything disappoints me. But asmr videos like this one are making me feel better because I know I'm not alone. I have to stop wasting my time, you have to stop wasting your time, we have to feel alive and enjoy our existence by doing things we love no matter what. thank you so much uncle ER.
DavidMski it's not always that simple, my friend. i, for example, am not stressed because of something i don't like doing. i am studying all year long for the examination I'm taking in june, from which depends whether I'm getting in university, to study what i love. Would never give that up, no matter how stressful it is.
I'm calling it, this might end up being the greatest and most inspiring video in all of 2017. Thanks so much ER, honestly these videos are just so so wonderful and I'm really so grateful you're able to reach so many people with it.
It really seems like you dedicate your life to bringing good to this world. That's respectable. I couldn't do that this consistently. I tend to be driven by my anger and hate.
Give that anger and hate a hug and pap, tell it shh and you understand, but do not let that hate and anger drive you, accept it and let it pass...or find an outlet.
J Xx I've already given in to my hate and darkness, it's just too strong, I'm only 13, only the love of my life really makes me happy and really understands me and feels how I feel
You always inspire me. Your creativity, your messages, your gift to this world. I'm 19, I'm in college, I have no idea what to do with myself. I love dungeons and dragons and I run a group of 7 people. Your videos always drive me every time to continue with the writing of my world. It's always exciting to see when a new video has come out and I always find joy in going back to your older videos as well. I always tend to push things back and avoid school work and work I need to get done as a DM due to depression and life always falling apart here and ther. These videos always keep me going forward with it and keeping at it with my very best. Thank you Ephemeral Rift I rarely write comments so I hope this isn't too long or anything. Sincerely, A subscriber who is always given new ideas and new stories while watching your videos
Might be 2 years too late, but I do truly hope you got better :). I am a beginner DM and I already see the amount of stuff one needs to have done and in head at all times to make things work. Hope you found the balance and peace and that your life got closer to what you want it to be :)
@@manuel9689I am fantastic, moved country, nearly done with my degree, couldn't ask for more! Didnt get to play much DnD since then but that is a price Im willing to pay for a good life, I am planning to find myself a group this summer tho. Thank u so much sweet stranger for the reply. Depression is a right bitch, so just know that I love you, no matter who or what you are or how flawed u think u might be. I wish nothing but the best for you! Take care
so for years when i fall asleep my dreams are full of chaotic events (ex: death, destruction, war) but after watching this i had a dream where i was just in a field laying peacefully in the grass. it felt so surreal..it felt nice. thank you.
Dat Boi Sending so much love to you. If you ever need anything, let me know on here. Ive been where you are. I know how scary and painful those thoughts can be. I love you and I hope that you're okay.
Just found this video 6yrs later and got to say this has to be one of the best motivational videos I've watched while also relaxing me. I have started a clothing brand because of this video and I'm hoping it goes well. Tysm
I swear you have no idea how much this helped me , sometimes even if u know what to do u need someone to reassure and support u , i truly appreciate u uncle E ! Please never leave us.
I come back to this video so often. No matter how hard I try I feel like I will never be able to find love because I have such a bad image of myself. I feel like I can never be enough and therefore don't even try to find someone. I really wanna find my person, I have never felt more lonely in my life.
Ephem, you are a beautiful person. 6 weeks ago I got a very bad concussion, couldn't speak, some visual loss, whiplash, just pretty bad stuff. I had to avoid screens, couldn't go for walks without getting headaches, and I couldn't read, write, make art, or even play with play doh as an adult - it was too hard mentally for me! I'm back now, thankfully, and your podcasts helped me get through those weeks of recovery. I could play your EphemRadio podcast in the background, dipping in and out, and I don't remember what you'd said in them but I know it brought me great calm and was perfect when I was healing. Much love, and endlessly grateful.
Found this video 3 years later, in 2020, when I quit my first job because of the pandemic and have been feeling guilty because of it. Thank you for motivating me into focusing on what I need to do now to complete my degree and then focus on finding a job later.
How can you dislike someone who wants to help you? Thanks you for the video and the motivational talk. You can indeed stop any bad habit or do something you want as long as you really want it.
It's not really anything big but I wanted to share. I used to be so in shape, working out everyday. I was addicted. Since i've gotten into a relationship I have gained so much weight, I was 180lbs and now I am 225lbs all in just a year. To a lot of people that's not really a lot and it's not considered unhealthy, I mean I'm 19 so I know that every inconvenience feels like the end of the world to me when it's really not but I have grown so much hate for myself not just physically but mentally for not being able to discipline myself for so long. Today I listened to this on the treadmill and ran a mile and did my weightlifting and I just have to share how much this helped me. For the first time in a while I feel like I have earned the day and while it's not alot I can say that I worked my ass off and I am proud of myself. Thank you so much.
Uncle E., I just want to say that even though I never got a real father figure in my life, you are a very inspiring man and I hope you know that. I also hope your son knows he has the most fantastic father in the whole world. Your videos have helped me so much with sleep and motivation. Thank you, keep doing what you're doing and good luck with your quest to quit alcohol.
Thank you, E.R. I've been struggling with an eating disorder and depression which have left me unable to leave the house. I really want to change myself and return to my old healthy self and start a new chapter in my life. However, I constantly give up and call myself a disappointment. I know that the change has to come from inside but it really helps, when someone else speaks words from encouragement. Thank you very much, to a great and hopefully better year.
Positive affirmations and encouragement were just what I needed. Parenting, healthy lifestyle choices, finances, personal issues, the need to get a part time job... all of these things have been weighing on me so heavily at the onset of this new year. I CAN!
Came out of a relationship recently and been trying to meet someone and try to be happy but with my severe anxiety, I find it hard to talk to people alone never mind someone of the opposite sex, so something like this can hopefully inspire me. Thanks Paul.
Recently I started working out to tryna increase my self esteem and mental health, it’s been working, however the people next to me say it’s a useless/unnecessary thing, and this makes me feel so lonely bc I don’t really have passions, but gym became my safe place, and no one seems to acknowledge that
Its crazy because i realized today that i keep looking at the full picture and wanting to skip to the end of my hard work and that i need to be present and in the moment which i havent been clearly. (Little by little, randomly throighout the day i become aware of what km doing and wasting time with but i continue anyways) but i found this video and its like confirming what ive been thinking about
This has been released at a really bad time in my life. Thank you ER, you've helped me so much over the years, and now more than ever. I appreciate you so much :)
Thanks from this little girl with depression since 2 years ago. i am better day by day, but, your message here is SO necessary. Thanks for give all of us the advice to be more kidness with ourselves.
I needed this video to start the year, I've personally been in a dark place and this gave me hope for a new year. So thanks for the great work and being 100% honest it goes a long way.
7 years later I’m 15 doing a mechanical engineering apprenticeship for 4 years then uni prep and uni. Stress through the roof. Smoking, drinking and going out running away from problems. Stopper going to the gym. I play basketball all the time to run from issues with a sliver of hope of becoming a nba player but staying real with myself knowing I’m not good enough and I’m 5’8. I know I need to focus and study do well at work and earn the little money I make. Thank you, message still sits even 7 years later. I hope you’re doing well
touchy subject to most: but I asked God for guidance yesterday during an anxiety attack & somehow I came across this video. i kept telling myself yesterday I cannot do this, I cannot handle this life I wasn't made for this world.. your video really hit everything on my mind. you are by far my favorite asmr channel.
"No matter what time in life you're watching this video" For some reason, here in the future and floating in the middle of space, that felt heartwarming. I wonder if one day humanity will become immortal and someone will feel this way
Thank you bro the first words of the video made me tear up "How are you doing" Thats all i need really, and thats the first time someone even take a check on me thankyou bro.
Thanks E.R, I needed to hear that. I'm going to graduate college soon and that scares the shit out of me, I'm struggling to get over my last relationship, my family is slowly falling apart, and I could stand to be in the gym more often. I don't know if I can make my dreams a reality, I don't know if I can fall in love again, I don't know if I can even find a job better than the one I already quit. But I'm going to try. Thank you.
This timing is amazing, I'm going through driving lessons and they are not so bad but I get dizzy spells and random times no matter what I am doing which makes me unable to concentrate and sort of lose focus and panic on the task at hand. Thanks Uncle E this shows me that I can manage through these lessons.
this is kind of embarrassing but I have social difficulties and it's difficult for me to communicate with people my own age or befriend people, so I don't have many friends and I never get to go to parties or events because I'm never invited to anything, and I was a okay with it a few years ago but recently I've felt like I'm missing out. This year I'm really trying to get better and interact more despite struggling and I haven't grown too much but I've gotten better some amount and that's a start! I even joined theatre which was a huge start for me!! so thanks for the inspirational vid, ER!! (sorry for such a long comment lol)
I really love your videos like this where you just talk to us, where we can really see you as a human being, plus, you’re inspirational! Thanks alot for that ER
I'm about to compete on college admossion soon. I felt hopeless and fear of failure lately because I just know what is my passion not too long time and covid just mess up my whole plan. I will try my best, and will come back if I succeed and didn't forget this video
This made me really happy! Thank you, I've been trying to work out, eat healthy and I'm finding it really hard. But this has made me feel real positive and ready to continue. ❤️
Thanks ER, I really needed something like this. I turned 17 a few months ago, and I've been dealing with a lot of indecisiveness "issues". Finishing high school, driving, joining the military, are all things I want to do, but I second guess myself, overthink things, and don't get anything done. Thank you so much for making this video
I appreciate this video. I sometimes watch ASMR for a little break during the day and this kind of video relaxes and motivates me at the same time. Thank You!
Thank you for uploading this. Listening to your experiences and methods of dealing with your issues helped me feel a lot better about my own. For the first time in a while I feel motivated to make a change in my life for the better. Thank you for that.
I've been watching your videos occasionally for a few years and Today is the day I told myself to cut down on cigarettes and I stumbled upon this video, and the first thing u said is I can quit smoking. It's like fate. Thank you for this video.
thanks, ER! This is one of those videos that I know I'll come back from time to time to remember myself that despite the obstacles I choose to believe that I can. Keep up the awesome work! 😙
Simply amazing, almost in tears. SO simple, yet powerful how?! Maybe cuz it felt truly from your heart? Simply saying u can vs long elaborated video, with steps etc .. Your videos have helped me so fn much 😢, especially the late night ones! Dude your more awesome then i can describe. I found you and asmr for that matter, searching "depression/ suicide/ anxiety relief " ... thank u man 4 real
I feel so close because the first video I watched you were still blade and talking about manly stuff. this is one of the best channels on this website!
Thank you for the upload! I hope you're doing well! I'm only 17 minutes in and again, I'm not going to be able to sleep without listening to this at least one time because of the great content and ideas (by the way, you're a great speaker! Not like I'm an expert, but it's so great just listening)! I have smoked the last cigarette of my life within the past week. I'm not smoking weed again until I become more successful. The money I've been putting towards weed can go towards something more productive. The idea of "ASMR and Water" is awesome! You've already inspired me so much. I wouldn't have made any ASMR videos without you. It would be amazing to see you doing this full- time (if you want)! I support you, man! Im working a lame job right now. Trying to find my way out of that. But anyway, I need some shut- eye! Thanks again, sir! You're a great man!
I was feeling all out of sorts today about a risky (but much needed) life decision I need to make this year, and then suddenly this video appears in my subscription feed. Kismet, perhaps? Thank you so much, Ephem, for your inspirational and kind words in both the video and the description. Happy 2017!
Thank you! Really inspired me to finally start learning how to dance the can-can, because i can learn the can-can dance and soon i can say that i can can-can-dance with actual alethea.
The "getting a relationship" one isn't lookin so hot... a girl I had been talking to for about a month (yeah I know I waited too long) kinda just told me that she doesn't like me. I really fell for this girl too... anyways, thanks for the kind words. I really hope things change.
Allen Bell same boat. i t was a big stepping stone for me. I normally just leave well enough alone. but I was like fuck it. I'm gonna say something. nothing came of it. but I'm still glad I said it.
I badly want to give up alcohol but my addiction to it is so strong. When not having it, it becomes all I can think about sometimes. I'll end up feeling bored or somewhat down in mood and find those are the times I need alcohol the most and it becomes so hard to resist. I don't like the thought of admitting that I have a problem, but I really do. When I finally sober up after having too many drinks, I find myself left with regret for having done it again. I would probably benefit from being part of a support group as well as some advice and suggestions from those who have struggled with it as well and have successfully given up alcohol.
I plan on creating an entire video about the topic of alcohol soon and will try to touch on finding support and such. But good luck if you really are trying to give it up.
@Levis Madness You should consider getting involved in local AA and NA fellowships. They have really helped me, surrounding yourself with other sober people is really important if you want to quit.
Thanks for this kind of video Now Im going through lot of shit Im only 15 years old 1st time I played this, that day I cryied for like 2 hours than that night I played this and I can peacefully sleep Thank You So Much ❤️
thanks I needed this im a singer but have acid reflux due to heavy drinking I always feel remorse and it's alway uncomfortable singing but my pride has given me strength to overcome it and sing
as an autistic person watching this video i was really vibing with the achieving my dreams stuff. i hope to be successful in my career i'm trying to work towards that i went to college for, finding a significant other, etc. i did find it odd and slightly off when you talked about disabled people like their not like everyone else. we got goals too that could be just as big as everyone elses, if not bigger goals at times. i know many autistic people besides me that are struggling with alcohol addiction or addiction to anything in general. i used to be addicted to people pleasing, but then i wanted to focus on myself instead.
that threw me way off and I just hope that Rift has changed his mindset on what he was saying because it was completely unnecessary? people are dealt with cards in life but they know who they are and what they’re dealing with and to pick on “disabled” people and instantly set them aside as completely different just feels wrong, because I think I saw where he was coming from, but no matter what, people will always have dreams but not everyone can make their dreams a reality, but that could include many other factors besides whatever he was on about
Wish I could say the same. Still having trouble with the people pleasing side, it sucks because no matter how much you try to please others they will always be upset at the slightest things.
It's definitely all about what stage of life someone might be at, too. Mid-to-late 20s, beer was everything. Definitely not every day, and never 'addicted' to alcohol, but it impacted relationships, self-worth, self-image, and it started to affect my stamina and health (elevated liver enzymes). I'm 32 now, and while I still drink on occasion (light beers), it doesn't hold the same level of fascination. I've found I want to get more accomplished and learn new things that I couldn't do pissed and hungover. I think for most people, and definitely what I found, the idea of filling in 60, 70, or if you're lucky, 80 years of human consciousness is a maddening prospect - and at low points, just filling in a single day can be terrifying. Just my two cents worth, you definitely need to find a new, positive, and *productive* obsession, something tangible you can show yourself and others before dealing with something like booze.

I played this Video at the gym today to get motivated but fell asleep on the bench.
Well that happened

It really seems like you dedicate your life to bringing good to this world. That's respectable. I couldn't do that this consistently. I tend to be driven by my anger and hate.
The dark side is strong with this one..
It is indeed! But I shall not give it my full commitment!
That's a great choice. Happy new year btw

Thanks from this little girl with depression since 2 years ago. i am better day by day, but, your message here is SO necessary. Thanks for give all of us the advice to be more kidness with ourselves.
Katrana Belmont hope ur doing better.
Katrana Belmont welcome to the club, I've had depression for 2 years too. Yay. So fun. Hope you get better though.
I needed this video to start the year, I've personally been in a dark place and this gave me hope for a new year. So thanks for the great work and being 100% honest it goes a long way.
I'm glad you made this video. my crippling depression is fading away
THANK YOU VERY MUCH RIFT! You're really one person who can support me in difficult and bad situation when it really need in my life...
In a world that tells you can't do or be anything there is this man who tells you to trust yourself and that you can do big things:)Bless you man!
7 years later I’m 15 doing a mechanical engineering apprenticeship for 4 years then uni prep and uni. Stress through the roof. Smoking, drinking and going out running away from problems. Stopper going to the gym. I play basketball all the time to run from issues with a sliver of hope of becoming a nba player but staying real with myself knowing I’m not good enough and I’m 5’8. I know I need to focus and study do well at work and earn the little money I make. Thank you, message still sits even 7 years later. I hope you’re doing well
I love how the first thing you talk about is smoking, when I actually gave up smoking 6 days ago 🙌
your videos to me as a beautiful picture! very beautiful picture and nice sound!
This video helped me through a mental breakdown.
Just started designing clothes and this was a really nice motivation booster :)
touchy subject to most: but I asked God for guidance yesterday during an anxiety attack & somehow I came across this video. i kept telling myself yesterday I cannot do this, I cannot handle this life I wasn't made for this world.. your video really hit everything on my mind. you are by far my favorite asmr channel.
"No matter what time in life you're watching this video"
For some reason, here in the future and floating in the middle of space, that felt heartwarming.
I wonder if one day humanity will become immortal and someone will feel this way
Thank you bro the first words of the video made me tear up "How are you doing" Thats all i need really, and thats the first time someone even take a check on me thankyou bro.
I just woke up one day and felt like my whole world left me. I lost everything i loved can’t even laugh anymore. I’m just so depressed
Hello…I may be a stranger, but I am thinking of you and hoping you are doing okay. You are loved!
Thanks E.R, I needed to hear that. I'm going to graduate college soon and that scares the shit out of me, I'm struggling to get over my last relationship, my family is slowly falling apart, and I could stand to be in the gym more often. I don't know if I can make my dreams a reality, I don't know if I can fall in love again, I don't know if I can even find a job better than the one I already quit. But I'm going to try. Thank you.
This timing is amazing, I'm going through driving lessons and they are not so bad but I get dizzy spells and random times no matter what I am doing which makes me unable to concentrate and sort of lose focus and panic on the task at hand. Thanks Uncle E this shows me that I can manage through these lessons.
really needed this tonight. parents are divorcing and my best friend in the world left our friendship behind for a new girlfriend. thank you uncle E
this is kind of embarrassing but I have social difficulties and it's difficult for me to communicate with people my own age or befriend people, so I don't have many friends and I never get to go to parties or events because I'm never invited to anything, and I was a okay with it a few years ago but recently I've felt like I'm missing out. This year I'm really trying to get better and interact more despite struggling and I haven't grown too much but I've gotten better some amount and that's a start! I even joined theatre which was a huge start for me!! so thanks for the inspirational vid, ER!! (sorry for such a long comment lol)
hey, it's not embarrassing at all! hope you're doing better tho
My temporary seasonal retail job has ended. Now I'm searching for another source of income. Thank you for the motivation Uncle E to keep going.
Thank you Uncle E. Your videos are the best motivational videos ever.
I really love your videos like this where you just talk to us, where we can really see you as a human being, plus, you’re inspirational!
Thanks alot for that ER
Every once in a while I come back to this video and I cry
Makes me feel a little better every time :)
Thanks Uncle E. You're the best.
I'm about to compete on college admossion soon. I felt hopeless and fear of failure lately because I just know what is my passion not too long time and covid just mess up my whole plan.
I will try my best, and will come back if I succeed and didn't forget this video
This made me really happy! Thank you, I've been trying to work out, eat healthy and I'm finding it really hard. But this has made me feel real positive and ready to continue. ❤️
Thanks ER, I really needed something like this. I turned 17 a few months ago, and I've been dealing with a lot of indecisiveness "issues". Finishing high school, driving, joining the military, are all things I want to do, but I second guess myself, overthink things, and don't get anything done. Thank you so much for making this video
5 years later.. you still helping people ✌
Last time I watched this guys videos he had a buzzcut.
His new styles phenomenal.
I have a major life deciding exam in 18 days and I have no confidence. I can't sleep cuz I'm too anxious. I hope this video gives me the hope 💀
I appreciate this video. I sometimes watch ASMR for a little break during the day and this kind of video relaxes and motivates me at the same time. Thank You!
Videos like this mean more than you can imagine. Thank you.
Thank you for uploading this. Listening to your experiences and methods of dealing with your issues helped me feel a lot better about my own. For the first time in a while I feel motivated to make a change in my life for the better. Thank you for that.
Good for you, ER, focusing on your health for your family is an admirable thing to do.
*I enjoyed this! Although these are roleplays, these kind of videos really can help someone out there! Truly! :)*
Bria B ASMR VIDEOS I'm fairly certain this is not a roleplay. It's plain good advice from the man himself.
My mistake! I watch many role plays with a genuine feel just like this. Not that the meaning behind a role play ever has to be "fake"
Bria B ASMR VIDEOS Roleplaying his OC, which always reflect parts of the creator (him in this case)
Rift, thank you for such encouraging words at the start of a new year. It really motivates me to do my best this year 💕
I've been watching your videos occasionally for a few years and Today is the day I told myself to cut down on cigarettes and I stumbled upon this video, and the first thing u said is I can quit smoking. It's like fate. Thank you for this video.
thanks, ER! This is one of those videos that I know I'll come back from time to time to remember myself that despite the obstacles I choose to believe that I can. Keep up the awesome work! 😙
"You CAN quit smoking"
Me: *coughing up a lung trying to hear what he just said*
Simply amazing, almost in tears. SO simple, yet powerful how?! Maybe cuz it felt truly from your heart? Simply saying u can vs long elaborated video, with steps etc ..
Your videos have helped me so fn much 😢, especially the late night ones! Dude your more awesome then i can describe. I found you and asmr for that matter, searching "depression/ suicide/ anxiety relief " ... thank u man 4 real
I feel so close because the first video I watched you were still blade and talking about manly stuff. this is one of the best channels on this website!
Thank you for the upload! I hope you're doing well! I'm only 17 minutes in and again, I'm not going to be able to sleep without listening to this at least one time because of the great content and ideas (by the way, you're a great speaker! Not like I'm an expert, but it's so great just listening)! I have smoked the last cigarette of my life within the past week. I'm not smoking weed again until I become more successful. The money I've been putting towards weed can go towards something more productive. The idea of "ASMR and Water" is awesome! You've already inspired me so much. I wouldn't have made any ASMR videos without you. It would be amazing to see you doing this full- time (if you want)! I support you, man! Im working a lame job right now. Trying to find my way out of that. But anyway, I need some shut- eye! Thanks again, sir! You're a great man!
I really needed this right now. Thank you
It’s been a full year of me watching him he is the best
TY so much for this, i just celebrated 6 years clean and sober.
Listening to this while doing hw I should've done hours ago is actually motivating me to stop procrastinating so much :)
I am applying to a private school right now, which is a lot of work. This really helped. Thank you.
I was feeling all out of sorts today about a risky (but much needed) life decision I need to make this year, and then suddenly this video appears in my subscription feed. Kismet, perhaps? Thank you so much, Ephem, for your inspirational and kind words in both the video and the description. Happy 2017!
Thank you! Really inspired me to finally start learning how to dance the can-can, because i can learn the can-can dance and soon i can say that i can can-can-dance with actual alethea.
Watching for the first time & I smiled ear to ear when I heard “Demi Gorgon” 🤘🏽🤘🏽 waiting on season 4! Lol
The "getting a relationship" one isn't lookin so hot... a girl I had been talking to for about a month (yeah I know I waited too long) kinda just told me that she doesn't like me. I really fell for this girl too... anyways, thanks for the kind words. I really hope things change.
Allen Bell same boat. i t was a big stepping stone for me. I normally just leave well enough alone. but I was like fuck it. I'm gonna say something. nothing came of it. but I'm still glad I said it.
hope things work out for you this year :)
Allen Bell she's one out of 4 billion. fuck it.
Talking to a girl for a month before making a move isnt waiting to long. Nothing wrong with treading the waters longer before taking a dive.
*7 billion
that was beautiful. youre a great guy, spreading this message of positivity and optimism.
I badly want to give up alcohol but my addiction to it is so strong. When not having it, it becomes all I can think about sometimes. I'll end up feeling bored or somewhat down in mood and find those are the times I need alcohol the most and it becomes so hard to resist. I don't like the thought of admitting that I have a problem, but I really do. When I finally sober up after having too many drinks, I find myself left with regret for having done it again. I would probably benefit from being part of a support group as well as some advice and suggestions from those who have struggled with it as well and have successfully given up alcohol.
I plan on creating an entire video about the topic of alcohol soon and will try to touch on finding support and such. But good luck if you really are trying to give it up.
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming video! I quit all substance abuse including alcohol 6 weeks ago.
@Levis Madness You should consider getting involved in local AA and NA fellowships. They have really helped me, surrounding yourself with other sober people is really important if you want to quit.
+Levis Madness Oh dude, I feel bad for you.
Levis Madness never give up--you can do it! Stay strong and keep fighting! 💞I know it's hard, but keep fighting. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for this kind of video Now Im going through lot of shit Im only 15 years old 1st time I played this, that day I cryied for like 2 hours than that night I played this and I can peacefully sleep Thank You So Much ❤️
Sorry for my english Im not from england or america
@@jozogajvovksy6113hey im 15 too. Going through shit is hard. I believe in you and hope things get better ❤️
Motivating but gentle. Thank you, Uncle E. We love you. 💙
Love your hard work sir. A big thank you for helping me.
thanks I needed this im a singer but have acid reflux due to heavy drinking I always feel remorse and it's alway uncomfortable singing but my pride has given me strength to overcome it and sing
thank you ER it's been 3 weeks that i quit smoking. This video reminded me why i gave this decision once again.
as an autistic person watching this video i was really vibing with the achieving my dreams stuff. i hope to be successful in my career i'm trying to work towards that i went to college for, finding a significant other, etc. i did find it odd and slightly off when you talked about disabled people like their not like everyone else. we got goals too that could be just as big as everyone elses, if not bigger goals at times. i know many autistic people besides me that are struggling with alcohol addiction or addiction to anything in general. i used to be addicted to people pleasing, but then i wanted to focus on myself instead.
that threw me way off and I just hope that Rift has changed his mindset on what he was saying because it was completely unnecessary? people are dealt with cards in life but they know who they are and what they’re dealing with and to pick on “disabled” people and instantly set them aside as completely different just feels wrong, because I think I saw where he was coming from, but no matter what, people will always have dreams but not everyone can make their dreams a reality, but that could include many other factors besides whatever he was on about
Anyways I truly hope you achieve your goals!
Wish I could say the same. Still having trouble with the people pleasing side, it sucks because no matter how much you try to please others they will always be upset at the slightest things.
thank you so much for this video! I was unsure about moving to a new city and this is a sign from the universe 😁👍
Thank you for putting this out into the world. This kind of message is exactly what I needed today.
It's definitely all about what stage of life someone might be at, too. Mid-to-late 20s, beer was everything. Definitely not every day, and never 'addicted' to alcohol, but it impacted relationships, self-worth, self-image, and it started to affect my stamina and health (elevated liver enzymes). I'm 32 now, and while I still drink on occasion (light beers), it doesn't hold the same level of fascination. I've found I want to get more accomplished and learn new things that I couldn't do pissed and hungover. I think for most people, and definitely what I found, the idea of filling in 60, 70, or if you're lucky, 80 years of human consciousness is a maddening prospect - and at low points, just filling in a single day can be terrifying. Just my two cents worth, you definitely need to find a new, positive, and *productive* obsession, something tangible you can show yourself and others before dealing with something like booze.
Thanks. My PMP (Project Management Professional) exam is coming up and I needed the encouragement.
