I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got addicted to alcohol. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
You're an ordinary man, which is why people relate to you. But you are a special man. Doctors and psychologists and scientists in white coats can give reasons why we should stop drinking. Good enough. You have lived through the horrors of alcoholism and came out on the other side. You have helped others. My hats off to you.
I think there are lots of small habitual and behavioural thresholds that are crossed, up to a dozen in fact red flags be it drinking in the morning, during work hours, being terrified to wake up with no booze. All major red flags but there were several incremental steps before the big ones. Then the physical dependence, drunken delusions, blackouts, loss of control of your bladder. Not eating. Depression. Being trapped in your house and wanting to go out. It’s beyond horrendous.

The horrors you’ve lived through, and continue to endure are enough to frighten me off alcohol Steve. I drink occasionally but don’t really need to at all. I am cutting down even my minimal drinking, your warnings are not wasted. Thank you for the help you provide for all of us.

Once again, you make the sensible plea for drinkers to do some honest self-diagnosis Steven. Addiction being a disease of deceit, (as it tells you what it's doing for you rather than too you) a careful assessment of what the grog has gained importance over in one's life can help greatly in adding motivation for behavioral change. The term I was taught by my patients and fellow practitioners is 'salience', how central to life drinking has become. Staying longer at the pub than planned, regularly drinking more or earlier in the day, losing interest in former enjoyed activities, being disorganised or forgetful, having 'blackouts' and to 'loving' the drink more than your wife/girlfriend/children/family and even one's own well-being or self-esteem. An honest chat with a trusted friend, a good Doctor or a person that has experienced the downward 'pathway' can be really helpful, (like the AA phone helpline in your area) before the damage is sadly insurmountable. Thank you again Steven for letting me ramble, respect from Australia. Andy. 👌

Going to the doctor only works to the point of them telling you they can’t offer detox meds and there is a 2 month waiting list for NHS rehab (how many people have died waiting) or spend £5500 min on a private detox. A 28 day program is more than most earn in a year.
@@stevencurry215 Diazepam is brilliant in a controlled detox environment and I know one of my friends that, when his alcoholism ended up with him in prison, they used it during his first 2 weeks to ease him off the drink. However, when he got out, after 2 years inside, due to the hopelessness of not being able to get work anymore with his record, he rapidly fell back into seriously heavy drinking. He's now at least is on PIP and UC disability and has a studio flat in a secure social housing project for ex-prisoners. Trouble with the diazepam is, he's found a way of getting hold of it - not the worst street stuff, but via the web. He said it was to help hi cope with the come down from a week long binge (he's a binger and heavy binger at that). Then he calls me last week and says he's taken the diazepam but forgot how many and was still caning the vodka and feeling "weird" (facepalm). Thankfully I checked him out in person and he got through it, but I told him there was no way he could take them again and he gave me the remaining pills and asked me to keep them for emergencies for him. He's on another binge at present and not heard from him for a few days but the staff at the housing place check on him every morning and night so the would have called me if anything had happened. I wrote all that because I agree that diazepam is an ideal drug from helping people who are committed to getting off the booze, but sadly in my friends case and in many cases of people he has told me about, they just take any and all drugs offered/available on top of the drinking. It's no wonder that the GPs are no longer prescribing it anymore, even in 7 day amounts like they used to, because - big surprise - addicts have bad self control. My friend, I fear is now past stage 4 and at 47 heading for stage 5. I can't see anyway - even now with a load of support on offer and legal obligations to participate as well - that he can ever give up the drink. It's very sad because, like so many people blighted by alcoholism, he is a lovely flla when sober, and bright and intelligent, and great company. I've done all I can within my capabilities to help him over many years and I was hopeful that after 2 years of enforced sobriety in prison, he might stand a chance of getting clean. Now all I can do is stay in touch and hope for a miracle, but I'm not expecting one; more likely I will get a dreaded call one day from the police or his parents :( Sorry Steve - went off track and rambled here but your channel is great for a lot of people working to overcome this monster of an addiction. Wise words again on the stages as well. Keep safe and best to you and everyone who has struggled or indeed still struggle with the demon booze.
I am getting better doctors awful and hospitals can't believe how one doctor spoke to me like a price of shit your GP refers you to addiction they refer you back to GP hopeless situation most medical professionals still fo not see alcoholism as a disease it is not seen as a drug
I'd get the "bottle flu" symptoms when I'd come off it usually on the 3rd day the depression anxiety Headaches, nausea, and aches as your immune system and blood is basically poisoned and full of toxins the thought of being in busy places like public and going on public transport or driving was nerve racking the poor sleeping and nightmares were terrible too,, the only way to cure it was to take another few drinks you're basically trapped by the alcohol and addicted
I would suggest is to seek out a AA Meeting near where you live or a smart Meeting and listen to the similarities and not the differences and you will meet some to connect with and swop phone numbers Ect also there are AA Meetings on Zoom 24/7 you can connect with , We can not do this on our own
Andrew Huberford what alcohol does to the brain and body. On you tube. It's long but for any subscribers who really want to know the chemical impact...that explains it clearly
For me the road to alcoholism began with drinking alone. That was nearly 15 years ago. It's only been in the last 12 months that I've finally conquered the problem. Alcohol creates the problem and simultaneously presents itself as the solution. It's a trap: a prison for your mind and body. It's possible to function in it for a long time. It even feels like a comfortable place for a while. But a prison is still a prison.
@stevencurry215 I've been through 10 bottles of Smirnoff in the last 5 days. It's heartbreaking, you want to just call god and say please take me now. I'm sick of being sick. I'm gonna get back to life. It's now my goal. I will not be the man that dies and has family attend My funeral. Known forever as the family alcoholic.
What are your triggers for going back to your abusive lover? For me it was being around crowds. I took my 2 weeks holiday off work and it suddenly occured to me i wasnt thinking about her. Now i realize this isnt practical for most people, but stress is a contributery factor
@@stevencurry215 A manage a trois. Most women wont go for that. Not to kiss ass or anything, but we all know about the cutbacks in social services Steve and i worry there are people out there who think they are alone in their struggle, your channel is a light in the dark.
So I don’t drink at work or during the day. Any time I go out with friends or with my partner no drink at all. However when I get home and have time it’s generally filled with drinking. Not a huge amount but add it up throughout the week and it’s a lot. It feels like going home and having time to myself it’s just drink. Luckily I have times where I can’t drink but I’m terrified that all it will take is not having a job and I’d go over the edge.
@@jekw23 Hi thank you for your message..it seems you can control your intake of Alcohol to a large degree…I’m sure you can cut down if needed Please subscribe and keep commenting 👍
Does anyone still drink in pubs these days? They’re too expensive. If you’re an alcoholic, you’ll drink at home surely. I keep in check my intake. It’s a small window., between 6 and 10 pm with a good meal in between. I don’t want to drink in the day
@@stevencurry21510 pints in spoons is gunna be £40 atleast plus you'll end up running into characters sharing shots etc, 10 pint cans will be £12 ish from Tesco, That's about 10k difference a year It's a huge difference can't see how people are affording that over an extended period
@stevencurry215 I'm good thanks, I can't drink more than 6 pints on a night because my body & brain says you can't.. so maybe that's a sign of not being alcohol dependent, but I do enjoy a few 3 times a week. I've been watching your vids for 2 weeks now.. you've done really well & continue to do so 👏 👏
I would've thought that drinking at home, alone during pub opening hours is a massive warning sign. I firmly believe that most of not all problem drinkers don't use pubs. Why would you?
Hi Steven, it sounds from your videos that you were able to retire quite young (30s/40s). Is that right? And if so, how were you able to do it? Did you have investments or stocks & shares? Did you inherit some money or property or something like that? Just curious, & thanks if you don't mind sharing some details about your retirement!
How many units a week would you of been consuming at stage 3. I can go all week without a drink but the weekends I fall down and when I start I don’t/can’t stop until early hours or I’ve fell asleep on sofa. Trying to cut down but it’s went from being a fun thing to do to something slightly embarrassing as a lot of these sessions I just do alone because “why not” then wake up having to sneakily put 20 empty cans in the bin so nobody sees the quantity I went through.
@@VictoriaPeckham1 Hi Philip no I never experience liver pain..worth you getting it checked Please subscribe & share the channel to help spread the word 👍
I would get the same thing. A pain in my right side after a big session. The doctor told me my liver was fine and that it was likely just muscular. However when I stopped drinking I never felt that pain again.
After some time I've ' forgotten ' about it ? ! I remember I was a nitemare on it n felt like death . Its just navigating life on life's terms now , kcohol makes everything g worse. Ut will kill you n you won't mind that x 😢
I haven't had a coffee or a cup of tea in probably 8 weeks now-me missus has stopped asking if I want one-I'm straight into the Thai whiskey or voddy before it's even light outside-heading for a fall for sure
I didn't reach that stage, but I could have. The fact you have messaged on Steve's page is awesome!!! We ALL know how hard it is, so please get some help. If I can do it after many, many years of drinking you can too. Good luck!!

Hi Steven, it sounds from your videos that you were able to retire quite young (30s/40s). Is that right? And if so, how were you able to do it? Did you have investments or stocks & shares? Did you inherit some money or property or something like that? Just curious, & thanks if you don't mind sharing some details about your retirement!
@@ShowRyuKen This is a private mater
@@stevencurry215 Sure, no worries.
Im six bottles of vodka into my binge. I'm trying to stop by tapering. Its the insomnia i can't cope with.
Hi ..that’s a lot of vodka obviously
How’s the tapering off going ..

How many units a week would you of been consuming at stage 3. I can go all week without a drink but the weekends I fall down and when I start I don’t/can’t stop until early hours or I’ve fell asleep on sofa. Trying to cut down but it’s went from being a fun thing to do to something slightly embarrassing as a lot of these sessions I just do alone because “why not” then wake up having to sneakily put 20 empty cans in the bin so nobody sees the quantity I went through.
I was probably doing 15 plus pints of strong lager daily ….Sounds like you have some control but not weekends..

Did you ever find you had an achy liver? I get this ache just under my rib after a heavy few days. Always assumed it was my liver
@@VictoriaPeckham1 Hi Philip no I never experience liver pain..worth you getting it checked

I would get the same thing. A pain in my right side after a big session. The doctor told me my liver was fine and that it was likely just muscular. However when I stopped drinking I never felt that pain again.
Drinking at home and most days is stage 2.
@@deantownie7441 Probably 2-3 ..👍

After some time I've ' forgotten ' about it ? ! I remember I was a nitemare on it n felt like death . Its just navigating life on life's terms now , kcohol makes everything g worse. Ut will kill you n you won't mind that x 😢
Agreed Karen ..it’s a terrible illness 👍
I haven't had a coffee or a cup of tea in probably 8 weeks now-me missus has stopped asking if I want one-I'm straight into the Thai whiskey or voddy before it's even light outside-heading for a fall for sure
I didn't reach that stage, but I could have. The fact you have messaged on Steve's page is awesome!!! We ALL know how hard it is, so please get some help. If I can do it after many, many years of drinking you can too. Good luck!!
For breakfast?

What digestive problems did you have on the road to recovery Steven? Was constipation one of them?
Hi I wasn’t too bad …for the first year I was prescribed Lactulose
