I love drinking, and because I love it so much it’s a fantastic motivator. I work out hard all month long and eat right. At the end of the month I get to have some booze for a couple days. Then I start back over. I do the work I get the fun. Balance instead of excess. I used to have a few drinks every night and it just saps my motivation.
Thumbs up!...Total abstinence is for the weak and addicted. I like you, go all week and have a half a glass of Sonoma Valley White Wine, than throw the rest away. I have a bottle of $200 bottle of Glen Fiddich 18 scotch in the cupboard and once every week, maybe 10 days, I don't count, I hate counting, will have 2 sips, not gulps and get a very slight buzz, and walk away. I look forward to this as a reward..Moderation is key and best in all things in life, even drugs (Alcohol) if you are Disciplined. It's better than an all or nothing life. How boring.
@@RR-gp3qy The problem is all on your side. If you're frightened to have a drink than go hide in the corner I guess. Whatever you got to do. But no it is not a problem for me.
I can relate. My late best friend wife & I were together for 42 years. I drank & used THC on & off heavily during that time. She passed away 2/1/23, I've been sober since 8/17/21 after an intense wake up call from God.
10 years (almost to the day!) sober and I gotta say, drinking was the best of times and the worst of times. I'll eventually get around to drinking again when I've got absolutely nothing else to do in 30 or 40 years.
For me it was the failure of my marriage. My ex and I both drank to much. That all said I loved her dearly and I knew that drinking was part of my failure to be a good husband and person. AA was a great help and it helped me to become a much better person. As they say alcohol is but a symptom.
People that dont drink, that includes people that dont know WHY they drink, will never understand. Having (blank) to make yourself feel better IS addiction. Whatever that blank is. The "good" things will kill you, too.
He mentioned John Cazale at the end. All of the actors who ever worked with him agree that Cazale was the GOAT. All of the great actors looked up to him. He was the actor's actor.
@@CaribbeanMischiefhis movie track record before the cancer took him was stellar he would have worked a long time no question plus the heavyweights he worked with your 🧢
Absolutely not! That's not true at all. Pacino just said he's thinking of having a drink right now! Every single recovering alcoholic that I know has gone on record to say that staying sober is one of the hardest things to maintain; even after years of sobriety. Why? Because of the constant interest in drinking. And yes, this includes me. Not one single alcoholic loses interest. The struggle to stay sober remains because there is always an interest in having a drink. I'm not just giving an opinion. Struggling sobriety has been my life for at least 30 years. How about you? Are you a recovering alcoholic, or are you just a person with an opinion?
@innovativeprogramschool7979 I'm speaking about the fact that made a very stupid generalization. "Once you realize...." NO, once YOU realized. Don't put your bullshit on everyone else. If that's how it worked out for you, then say that was you. Better yet, STFU, no one cares about your bullshit opinion.
Do you think he meant, that he quit alcohol, but maybe he isnt ever fully sober because perhaps he does something else now? I quit drinking day after New Years' 2019 but now i smoke weed. It mellowed me out and saved me a lot of money because i stay in instead of hopping around drunk, losing money and stuff out my pockets.
You’re missing what it did FOR you that you’re unable to give yourself in sobriety. I hope you can find what you were looking for in the bottle which really rests in you!
Yeah I’m trying and this time around I stopped the whiskey first then when I got away from that I stopped the Beer-I’m hoping to do it this time but I’m not going to be hard on myself if I fail.
@backagain Agreed, taking care of one’s mind and body is so much more fulfilling. There is a liquor store almost next to my gym and I watch the people going in and out and it’s really sad. Most of the people I see appear to be in need of a fix, and it’s probably a daily ritual for many too. Alcohol has become so normalized that it’s become an acceptable coping mechanism, when in reality it’s just as harmful and insidious as any harmful drug.
I think that addiction among famous celebrities is excepted among other stars and the public . Pacino was and is a megastar so his career wasnt effected by his drinking .
Yesterday I was sober. Not a sip. Felt fine. Today I was bored and bought Lithuanian vodka. I will make about 5 or 6 Lithuanian mules. And that’s responsible by my standards. I could drink like 15.
Now you're talking my kind of talk!! Away with the white knucklers. Let them read their bible verses and declare they are too weak and have no control over anythin,g so they give over to a higher power, maybe a Rock or a bluebird named Tammy.
Didn’t have a drink problem if he just decided to stop for a couple of days . Drinking more than is healthy but it was not a massive problem, at least not at that stage
@mikeweaver7977 when you're rich it's standard.stem cells and new blood in Switzerland etc. Look at Keith Richards. As well, read the old testament. Modern perceptions of aging are sub standard to what actual human longevity once was. I believe that people can live to around 120 with more care.
Drinking was one issue. He should have quit smoking, too. This man is nearly 90, and he still smokes. Smoking ruined and took away his original voice. I wonder what I would sound like today if I hadn't quit over 40 years ago!
@@Benjamin_Gellman Yup, he still smokes. I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to pick it up again. Pacino never stopped, so he's like George Burns. His body is now dependent on the tar and nicotine and he'dprobablydie immediatelyif he quit. I was referring more to his voice. His silky original Michael Corleone voice was lost to smoking all those decades ago. I was just wondering what he might sound like today if he quit smoking right after the Godfather, or at least 50 ago.
You may be sober from substances but if you haven’t dealt with your demons,do yourself a favor and attend Al-anon… known as the graduate program of the 12 steps… Be advised…
Hughton fired as Newcastle manager. This must be from 2010. He said only as recently as 2022 that he was now off all drugs. I cant see him being a pothead and i can't imagine him doing coke without a bevvy in hand. Must have had some slips since then. He has that vigour of an addict.
