    If you are watching this video and you are trying to quit drinking - keep trying! Alcohol makes a hard life harder. It whispers promises of escape, distracting you as it slowly lowers you into a dark pit, which you have to FIGHT LIKE HELL to claw your way out of. The biggest problem of alcohol drinking is the whole culture behind it. It has been a fact, for a long time, that almost every social setting MUST include alcohol because people can't relax otherwise.👋

      @@goforitrazz Alcohol drinking is universally associated with celebration in all cultures, as an essential element of festivity. In societies with an ambivalent, morally charged relationship with alcohol (such as the UK, US, Scandinavia, Australia), 'celebration' is used as an excuse for drinking.

      Your withdrawal symptoms indicate a serious physical addiction friend. Very very dangerous. It can be lethal. Your best course is a medically assisted detox. They prescribe valium to stop the tremens shakes and auditory/visual hallucinations. You'll be monitored by medical staff. Alcohol withdrawal is one of the most dangerous withdrawals of addiction there is. Stay safe, get help. 👍

    Great video! My family and I were on vacation over the weekend at the beach and the amount of people boozing it up was unreal. I felt nervous at first, was this going to be the first true test for me against my cravings? Honestly it didn’t phase me. I logically started talking to myself about the damage the alcohol does to one’s body and before you know it, I was caught up in a state of gratitude looking at my children knowing that I was going to be fully present with them and enjoy this time without alcohol! It is so freeing when you can enter into that mindset. Thankful for your videos, they encourage and inspire me!

    I watch these videos just to support the channel. The reality is that you have to believe only in yourself and have self-reliance. Alcohol is a habit forming drug and it's a difficult habit to stop because it alters the brain and body chemistry. I quit when I was 35yrs old but it was first trial and error for many years, until I got it right.

    I think it’s interesting to look at why it picked up the name “spirits” or “demon” - I would have to guess this has to do with the sometimes drastic changes in character or outbursts of uncharacteristic behavior portrayed by those who have ingested it. The “demon” part might have to do with life disrupting and destroying results that its abuse sometimes engenders. I think also it might be a way of old in describing astringent qualities of it’s chemical nature. Who knows? I just know I don’t drink it anymore 😊

    • @HabitsV2
      @HabitsV2  11 месяцев назад +2

      @jennyrosd2003 11 месяцев назад +3

      That's what I've always thought as well. It's called "spirits" plural. I believe it does open the pathway to such unpredictable behavior that it resembles descriptions of someone infested with demons. Whether you believe they are demons or just a bunch of psychotic personalities , it's very much the same in someone very high on a drug.

    Bloody great video brother. Your sincerity is infectious. So, as you were sitting on the mountain surrounded by the crisp air, sharing your message, i had a vision. Now im not blowing smoke up your arse ok. I could see yourself and a very calm (because he can get very animated) Jordan Peterson discussing the 'Alcohol' issue. Within the narrow parameters of personal responsibility.
    The message of personal responsibility is the cornerstone of a life well lived. The grounding of all religious and ethical teachings, even though people tend to mystify it with layers for some qwerky self indulgent reasons.
    So, no smoke but it would be pretty cool. Onwards and upwards, dare i say, too the stars 👍

    It’s not the demon in the alcohol it’s the demon in the person.

Now if i was to quit i would be mocked for becoming sober as they all helped me become the person that i am in the first place... its a catch 22 every single day!!
    Alchohol gave me everything i had in life!!! But slowly took it away bit by bit to the point that those bridges are never gonna be rebuilt to where they once was.. just a laughing stock! Everywhere i turn!!! Mentally exhausting!!!

    I guess the demon is our “shadow side” or the “work” that needs to be faced. You can eat a whole pie then ask Jesus to forgive you. Now that’s a story you tell yourself! My alcoholic sister proclaims to all the children and grandkids around her that “fun” is the way to live life. Of course she needs alcohol and a rich husband to manifest that fun. I confront her about posting endless “fun” photos on social media, then I endure her transformation into a verbally abusive demon straight out of hell that, thank God, I can just hang up on.

    I guess calling it a "Demon" drink and identifying it as such helps the problematic drinker to associate it negatively and thus etching it more in memory. I kind of see this as important. Identifying it for what it is. Thats not to say it external at all. Like as if its to blame cause the drinker is 100% to blame themselves. But i can say the term does apply from a christian perception cause we use allour senses( Sight (Vision)
    Hearing (Auditory)
    Smell (Olfactory)
    Taste (Gustatory)
    Touch (Tactile)
    Vestibular (Movement): the movement and balance sense, which gives us information about where our head and body are in space.
    And its all we got to "take in" this world. SO i can identify but at the end of the day drinking problems arent external....they are internal. Like you said..."Alcohol isnt magic and jump from the bottle to your mouth"

      The problem with this type of thinking is it elevates to problem to something more than it is.
