Im 3 years sober. All i did was get away from people that created problems, Vitamins, Minerals, amino acid therapy. Been to 15 rehabs in amd out of jail and nothing worked other then that. Those places keep you in the system and drugged up ironically. Good luck to anyone out there, i feel you still after 3 years. I never forgot where i came from.
Congrats on your sobriety. I've always been envious of people who have enough discipline and desire to quit without external help (support groups, pills, etc ..). The longest I stayed sober was 8 months and that was years ago. Aside from avoiding certain people and situations, do you still find yourself actively forcing yourself to not think about alcohol and not drink?

how does the Amino Acid Therapy work ?
is it working well ? did you feel real changes ?
7 months sober for me .. longest ever in my adult life .. thank you for your insight .. you nailed it
The most I've ever gone is 38 days...does 7 months feel 700% better than one month sober?? I'd like to try for 8 months which will take me to the end of this year
@@patc8735 oh heck yeah . I went from wanting to jump off a bridge into oncoming traffic to loving life again and accepting who I am .. I spend most of my time in rehab though
Congratulations ❤
Stay healthy and enjoy your life 🌝
Your channel deserves a lottttt more views/subscribers. Congrats! Almost a year for me too. All the best to you!
Thanks for the compliment. I'm not really bothered about the numbers, just want to help people who are struggling. And congrats on your year!
Coming to the UK for the first time from NZ I was surprised to see that hard liquor is available at corner stores and even at petrol stations.
3 weeks in and committed to sticking with it. Made a list of reasons not to drink, and I look at it daily. You have to find something to replace your drinking...i do biking, painting, golf, guitar, workouts, cooking, gardening, museums, and home projects.
Your channel help me a lot in my sober journey!! Keep it Up! 1 month sober today ✌️
Thank you Mat. Well done on making a month!
Wow! That’s some journey. Thank you for honesty, insight and inspiration. Great that you’re in such a good place today. Good luck with the work on the house JCx
I was 6 years sober. My whole world came crashing down on one day. 2months now drinking worse than ever.
It always gets worse before you decide you can get to stop ❤Let this be YOUR ROCK BOTTOM!
This is your life! Recover in the best way for ❣🙏
You can do it again. Don't wait another second. Decide to do it and do it now. You're worth it.
Thank you for your story. Listening for a family member. Reminds me of the phrase “it doesn’t matter how many times you fall down. Only how many times you get back up”
Ps. New sub!
Don't drink no matter what... Put everything into healthy vs unhealthy category.. Get rid of unhealthy... Take care of yourself and others... Let time take time... Do not engage in other addictive behaviors... Meetings are good too...
After detox (many times), the only thing that keeps me sober is A.A. So they told you to come back to detox after eight weeks? I don't get that. You would be detoxed after 5-7 days. One of the only businesses that remained open during COVID in North Carolina that was kind of non-essential was our liquor stores. They saw dollar signs for the state.
Robin,
Fair play, well done. Your channel is brilliant.
I stopped abruptly in jan 2023, after watching Hubarman's 2 hour youtube. I drank 35 years 1 to 3 drinks a day.
I’m 27 and have a hard time truly believing I have a drink problem. Friday I drank a 70cl bottle and it felt like it wasn’t enough,
That's a good sign but you have to figure it out in your own time
I find your videos valuable as I try to come to terms with my own alcoholic addiction. I’m 25 days into my 2nd try at total abstinence. Kept trying to manage my drinking, but I must be an alcoholic because limiting my drinking seems to be beyond my abilities. Abstinence is hard, but stopping at 1 or 2 drinks is much harder.
Ron
You can do it!
Amazing you've worked so hard Robin, congratulations ✨💥
Hey, really like your work. Also an Alcoholic. Really good to see that you are in the right place. If you want to hear my story, and my treatment for it. Just drop me a line. All the best.
Appreciate your vids ❤️
Hey man, just discovered your channel. Im a 17 and a half year recovering heroin and crack cocaine addict. I prefer going to Alcoholic Anonymous meetings as opposed to N.A. as they're much more welcoming in my opinion. Anyway, im subscribing. Keep up the good work brother. 👍😉
Respect mate, stay strong!
“How do we get sober?” Abstinence, ridding ourselves of resentments and making amends, avoiding people, places and things associated with drinking, belief in a Higher Power who will guide us to recovery, acceptance of what we are and creating life changes. Living our sober life one day at a time by not projecting into the future but in the NOW. I’m 35 years sober by following the listed guidelines.
lucky you and well done, amazing!
@@sofiaahmed-z5k tyvm! It’s great way to live! I owe it all toGod and AA. I JUST DID THE FOOTWORK. ❤️🙏🏼🌈
Man the physical withdrawal from alcohol is horrific. I ended up in hospital detox 3 times in 4 months...
Im almost embarrassed at the number of times I needed medical assistance to detox. But we definitely aren't the only ones for who, that isn't enough to deter us from drinking!
@@ANormalAlcoholic Yes, you forget the pain drinking causes you when you are craving "Just the One". Then you have cravings for the next before you even finish the first and so on and on it goes.
Did you go back to all the people you harmed and make amends?
That's AA... U don't have to do that...
same issues except with weed not alcohol so slow grind
U stop drinking
