Yup. I did pretty much exactly what you described. Total insanity and so so pathetic and sad. Praise the Lord we can look back at it from a distance now.
Thank you!!!! You are absolutely right!!!! We can look back now. I still can't believe some of the things I did. God bless❤❤❤
God willing this will be my first father's day sober and my kids are 17, 13 and 9. It feels really good and I'm really proud of myself. Everyday is another struggle for us all but our health is worth it. We have to be around for our families.
Hey Richard!!! I know you can do it! That is so awesome!! Your first father's day sober.... your children are going to be so proud of you!!! I know that they already are!!!! Let me know how it goes please! I would love to hear! Thank you for sharing. God bless😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
I'm thankful i decided to quit before anything bad with my health happened. I still want a drink everyday but watching you helps me not give up
How long sober?
@popcornboxing369 5 years. I wont drink again but its bloody hard.
@@colinnzholy cow still craving after 5 years…..
@@Redsnapper123 not as much but especially on a hot day i think about how good a cold beer would go down
I am so thankful that didn't happen to you too! Thank you so much for saying that! Hearing things like that really motivate me to keep making these videos!!!! I really appreciate it! Hope all is well my friend! God bless❤❤😊😊😊
14 weeks sober today, and cravings have been kind of strong lately. No coincidence it comes when the stress level gets high like it has recently. I know I can’t drink though.
Hey kevin!!!! 14 weeks is awesome! That's a long time! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 I k ow what you mean, I still think about it when I get stressed too. Same here.... I cannot drink, will not drink, I know what lies on the other side if I do and it's nothing good! Keep up tge great work my friend!! Sorry you are stressed out. Hope things improve! God bless😊😊😊❤❤
Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.❤
I did the exact same things! When we Lie to ourselves, it’s a form of Disrespect. Alcohol turns our lives into a Dark Lonely Prison Cell!!! It’s an extremely Miserable Journey for those of us who have become addicted. Alcohol literally cuts us off from living Life. 14 Days Alcohol Free!!
I love your analogy!! It is a dark lonely prison cell!!!! Thank you so much cindy and I am so proud of you!!!! 15 days now!!!!! God bless❤❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rkThank you!💞🌻
@@CMoore8539 you're welcome cindy!
Still here, still watching. I never drank hard liquor, if so rarely. I guess I managed my hangovers cause they were beer or wine induced. They were never so bad I couldn't just get up, take a hot bath and get going and function. I think its a scary realm to go when people start drinking liquor everyday. I cant relate to that level of pain but I still relate on the common level of drinking too much of one thing. Thanks for the wise words and inspirational content.
Hey Andrew!!! Thank you for still being here! I am glad that you didn't get into drinking liquor like that. Things really start getting out of control, at least they did in my case. I really appreciate you being here a d watching daily my friend! God bless😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
@liverdisease-qb6rk you as well my friend ! Blessing to you and the family. Sorry to hear about the dog also🤧
@@AndrewMarloweTV thank you so much for saying that! Same to you and yours!
Hard liquor is a relatively recent invention in historical terms at least beer is close to natural processes. We’re not designed to deal with 40% + abv
@andrewp5180 very interesting. Yea even the ancient Egyptianz had beer, but im sure whiskey and wine is not super new. Old cultures had forms of it as well. But as far as drinking a lot at once yea liquor is a death trap
I am so grateful that you put in the effort to make a video everyday. You are appreciated! Probably more than you realize. Thank you for always being so real and candid!
Hey Rob! Thank you so very much for saying that!!!! Hearing that really motivates me to keep doing these videos everyday!! If I can help one person to not drink, I have done my job!!!! Hope you are having a great day! God bless❤❤❤😊😊😊
I think the "never again" starts with the first big drinking session and the first hangover. I know it did when I first started drinking, which was mainly a weekend thing with the boys. Come next weekend and I'm feeling great again, then the drinking, then the hangover, then the "never again". After a while you just accept it as part and parcel of the whole thing. It just becomes a fact of life. Then you realise that the hangover was trying to tell you something but by then it's too late. So many times later in life I said, "this is the last drink". We play so many mind games with ourselves.
This is all so true jeff!!! I have done all of this as well! Thank you! God bless😊😊
I can relate to everything you are saying 🫂🙏♥️
Thank you so much Debra!!!! I'm sorry that you can. The insanity of all of this is just crazy. God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finding you is good for me, 19 days sober, 40 years in fine dining to mining camps where alcohol has been such a huge part,even a reward, my husband died and I drank but it's over
Sometimes I would feel like I had to finish the bottle because I thought the alcohol would somehow no longer be there the next day. Like if I didn’t drink it tonight it would “disappear.” It’s like a scarcity mindset or something. Or if I didn’t finish it, it would feel like I’m “wasting it”
A porch in the rain is quite nice. At some point, we decided a Carolina room was the thing to have in lieu of a good porch. We were wrong.
A carolina room is nice..... in carolina during the summer!!!!! The sun sets on that porch and you cannot sit out there without having the sun shades down. It's hot!!!!!! Thank you! God bless 😊😊😊
Yes. I have done the same thing. 😔
Thank you for sharing Michelle! I appreciate you being here! God bless❤❤❤❤
I am surrounded by drinkers ,but I drink non alcoholic beer so I feel included, and I've gotten to really enjoy it
Hey Paul! That's awesome to hear!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I'm so happy for you! God bless😊😊😊
I didn't think about it being a trigger but you're right, I won't suggest that again
@@ShatteredFlint thats what I think would happen to me.
4:06 have you ever considered writing a book? “The addicted mind and how it works”. Could be a good title.
That's a great idea!!! I have not. I really would like to do so though! I am really going to consider it! Thank you for the idea!!! God bless❤❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rk 👍

Absolutely LD!
Good good video LD. It always nice to hear your messages! Hope you and the family are are doing good. And I hope you’re feeling well friend. Hugs Mona ❤💚🙏🏼
Thank you so much mona!!! Everyone is doing great! Hope all is well with you and your family! You and yours are always in my prayers! God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The negotiation with ourselves is straight insanity. I’m just going to drink today but not tomorrow. I never bought an excess of alcohol when it was my “last day” of drinking maybe a pint of vodka and several beers or 1.5 liter of wine in one day. I think for me it’s the never again and then a few days later I found myself in the same place. I do see where anyone’s drinking can get way out of control pretty quickly. Thankfully, I have never drank in the am. Great video LD, hope you had a nice day.
Hey micru866!!!! Today is a super great day!!!! They just set up my high-speed internet!!!! What would usually take 4 hours or more to upload, took 2 minutes!!!! 2 minutes!!!! I am elated!!! I hope you are having a great day! And you are right, the insanity of this disease makes no sense. Thank you! God bless❤❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rkso excited for you guys, I know how high speed internet saves so much time and aggravation. Watching the ⭕️ just swirling is frustrating.
@@Micru866 you aren't kidding! Thank you!!!
Yeah, would play that sickly game of “Tomorrow I stop” but I never did. Sometimes going into the liquor store I felt like what I was doing was completely automated. No feelings, just get what I needed and consume until the next trip. Didn’t even feel human.
Hi Paul I so relate to this comment. I’ve sat so many times in the car trying to make up my mind whether to go in or not. I would always go in and was like a robot or in a trance. It’s such a hard substance to beat I’m still working on it.
@@Micru866same!
I know exactly what you mean..... it's like you walk in, and out without even knowing what you are doing. The sad thing is, I didn't even have to look. I knew exactly where my liquor was in every store. Thank you! God bless😊😊😊
"Completely automated " and "didn't even feel human" like the alcoholic mind kicks you out of your own autonomy and you are just dissociated, watching yourself slowly die. Absolute pure horror.
@@blde_gryprit’s super scary…and I’ve seen the same blank stare from others in the liquor store. It’s unbelievably heartbreaking…
Negotiating with ourselves... Who were we trying to kid
You are absolutely right! No one, but ourselves!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 God bless
I think I drank the most the day after I had a "good" day... like if I managed not to drink for a day or two, then boom I drank twice as much the day I started drinking again.
Great video today LD! Super excited for you to have high speed internet! I would tell my family that I had to keep drinking and slowly cut back so that I would avoid alcohol withdrawal. I told myself this as well, and my drinking actually got worse.
Thank you angie!!! These videos will be up a lot earlier now!!!! I hope that with getting them up early, it can help with someone making that stop by the store on the way home. I know exactly what you mean with drinking more! I did the same thing. Hope your day is going great!!! God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice to see a smile from you at the end of the video!!! 🙂I guess with high-speed Internet you have something to smile about! 👍👏🌷❤
Absolutely kathryn!!!! I can get these videos out to people so much sooner now!!! I'm hoping that getting them up earlier, can help stop someone from stopping by the store or whatever on the way home. I know how tough that can be! Hope you are having a great day! God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now that I have restarted the clock, I don't want to get anywhere near this territory again.
I completely understand my friend. I'm sorry that happened. I've been there so many times. It's just part of the journey. Sometimes we need a reminder of why we stopped in the first place. Hope you are having a great day today my friend! God bless😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Chef! It’s funny or not so funny, 1 of our neighbors on her way home hit a parked car on the street. She kept on going home, she lives down the street. Her & her husband started fighting about what just happened.. the poor person’s car that she hit is an older car. He lives with his Dad which happens to be an attorney. Unfortunately she has been drinking her husband said I followed her home?? Instead of getting an Uber.. husband came over to discuss what happened and he admitted to him that yes she’s been drinking. Sad situation for sure… never a good idea to drink & drive.. can only imagine how horrible she is going to feel tomorrow??? And this is going to be an expensive learning curve.
Hey there!!! Thank you for sharing this! Yeah, I bet, they are going to feel horrible today. Drinking and driving is not a good idea. My brothers daughters family just had a loss. One of their family members was killed by a teenage drunk driver just last week. Very. Very sad. Thank you! God bless❤❤❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I’m so sorry for your loss. That is heartbreaking. ❤️🩹 I know this accident could’ve been worse. And it looks like the husband was not going to come forward and admit that his wife hit the car?? So happy that you got your high speed internet up & running!
@@user-dp1gz1vo2j thank you!!!!
What you are doing is so great.... you are helping those who are struggling - Hopefully your message touch and changed their addiction.
Putting yourself out there takes courage, so thank you. A question please, did you not see a doctor when you were vomiting every day, prior to you ending up in hospital really sick? That would scare anyone.
Hello Diane! No. I never did. I didn't even have a physical for over 20 years. I was too afraid of what they would tell me, or they would tell me to stop..... crazy! Thank you for the question! God bless❤❤❤❤
A lot of courage! LD is helping so many people!
@@Mmoose712 thank you!!!!
I negotiate the same way with cigarettes. Every week....this will be my last carton!....Nope!
I did the same thing with smokes too! And would do the same thing.... smoke em all!!!! Wake up in the morning and couldn't breathe! Hope you are having a great day today!!!! God bless ❤❤❤❤❤
Me too Ron's Mom. I have to have my smokes. I get totally nauseous when I try to quit
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤ hope you are having a good day today Kristen! Yall getting the rain down there too? God bless❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rk nope not yet… just still in the Amazon … I’m afraid this may be our new normal.
Outside temp says 100 so it feels like
107? Feeling guilt about Goose. 🪿
It’s too hot for him & for me.
Possible storms (passing drizzle) end of the week.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk not sure why my comments keep disappearing.
106 out of
0 rain
10 extremely dangerous to be outside
@Kristen10-22 oh my gosh.... that's hot!!!! Sounds like you are staying in the house today. I have no idea what's going on with your comments. That's not the first time that's happened before. I have had other people tell me that their comments have disappeared. I don't know why that happens. I'm sorry.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk it’s ok … it happens .. yeah just tried for a few minutes and oh my gosh
Dew point is 78
Normal is maybe 55-60 is comfortable..
It’s not fun lol
Hey dude. Im scott from australia. Hell yes man ive lost count of how many times.ive done that exact thing. Ive told that same lie to.myself countless times. Only unlike you ive never been able to drink the next morning so i nurse the mother of all hangovers till 3 pm and the cave in and buy some more. But the beers never fix the hangover im still sick for at least the next 24 hrs.
My friend is a raging alcoholic now. He has been fired from the past three jobs, he wakes up on the street, in parks, in hospital. His eyes are yellow and he says he has had fits. He goes to AA meetings and then drinks straight after. I don't know any of his family as they are from another country. Is there anything I can do? He knows he is an alcoholic, vows to quit when he wakes up but drinks the same day and doesn't stop until there's no money left.
Hey Andy! I'm really sorry to hear this about your friend. That's so sad. I don't think that there is much that you can do. You could offer to help him. But. He probably won't take it. It's worth a shot. I don't know what state you live in and what the laws are in your state. Some states will put people in rehab if they are unsafe to themselves, I would loom into your local laws. Maybe you could help get him into a rehab facility??? The only problem is that he has to want it for himself. If he doesn't, he is going to keep drinking. The yellow eyes is jaundice from his bilirubin levels being elevated. He already has liver damage right now if that's happening. He really needs to go to a hospital. Keep me posted on what happens please. I hope this helps. Thank you for sharing! God bless😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
@@liverdisease-qb6rk Thank you for this advice, I will try that. And thank you so much for your good work ☺
@@andymaxwell2359 you are so welcome my friend! Thank you for being here!!!
The twisted philosophy of a raging alcoholic is when you use the reasoning to drink more and all because I’m stopping drinking…
You are not kidding!!!! I did that so many times! Probably at least once a week. It's pure insanity!!! Good to see you again my friend! Thank you for being here!!!! Hope all is well! God bless❤❤❤❤
First
Whoop whoop 🎉
Awesome!!!!😊😊😊
