  • I tried to get sober many times. It is very hard to get sober when all you know is drink
    I thought I could get sober by doing it my way. I thought I was an expert at sobriety... however, I was only an expert at not being sober.
    I had to change my mindset. I had to treat my addiction the same way a sick person would treat their disease...through treatment.
    My treatment consisted of medical detox, rehab, and continued counselling and membership into the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.
    Enjoy this video essay!

    I’m going to attend my first meeting tonight, I’m terrified to give up this chapter of my life.

      I wish you the best my friend. I too was terrified. If you pursue the 12 steps, step 4 directly deals with the fears we have in life.

    We used to get a spiritual experience. But it was artificial, a toxic shortcut. So recovery will be how to bring about that peak experience without the use of drugs, solid or liquid as alcohol is just another drug. Step 12 tells me I will have had a spiritual experience as a result of using the 12 steps. Surprisingly, this new spiritual way of life is a natural high, without toxins without side effects and it's contagious in a good way. "Living and enjoying life without the use of drugs."

    You did two videos in you car. I enjoyed and saved them. Why did you take them down. Love all your videos

      Those videos were not congruent with the theme of this channel. This channel is more documentary/video essay style with clips and music for dramatic effect. Perhaps I'll create a seperate channel with the talking videos.

    Maybe so. Yeah, it's a fact that quitting booze not only makes your world a better place to be in, any good program or resource like Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever, that’s the best shortcut I go’ogled that took less than 2 weeks to work.

      That's the spiritual malady of alcoholism. Work the 12 steps to reconstruct your ego so you can have a spiritual awakening and be free.

      @@thesoberempire Been working like a crazy, but the intense fear of future(and possible relapse) haunts me. Four meetings per week but it still feels like i can't reach the core of my anxiety and these days just seem to be me trying to survive till i go to bed.
