Your Video makes sense, I cant stop once I start. And I drink and will drink till I pass out or something. I dont know I should quit but what will I do with all the free time. How do I meet my mates, we always drink. last week I met an old friend and I was not drinking and he said dude this is totally gay. what are we doing sitting. I am seeing a shrink now but all he does is shake me up. it's aweful
Here's a fucking good tip for all you alcoholic dependents out there (I know there are many of you) - Next time you fancy a drink, pour yourself the drink then tip it down the fucking drain. Then if the craving gets too much. Get some weed. Roll up a nice big one. And smoke it til you forget alcohol even existed. Ive been doing this for the past 2 years and Hey, guess what? I haven't had a drop of alcohol since! In all serious though, everytime you get your hands on a nice bevvy, pour it away!
Thank you so much. I can identify with everything you say and I hope to make a video like this in the future. That which does not kill us makes us stronger :)
I can say something that works for me. It wont work for everyone because our body chemistry is all different. Anyway I go jogging when i crave alcohol. Its easier for me because i enjoy it anyway.
If you dont enjoy jogging? try it anyway. Maybe the punishment your giving your lungs and legs will take your mind off of the cravings.
I tend to find that exercising and drinking are mutually exclusive in my life.
Like i said it wont work for everyone but whats the harm in trying new things?
aa wants you to believe in jesus and if you dont they follow you around and beat you up and then when you go to the police they lie about beatin you up and pretend to not believe in jesus when they really do and the police wont believe them anyway and will make aa say sorry and go to jail until they are sorry to everyone
My short stay in AA was for the most part a negative experience. I was however forced to examine what I was being told. For instance: I was raised a roman catholic who after being educated "evolved" into becoming an unconcered, uncommitted agnostic. Through the bullying tactictics of AA I am now a militant atheist. I continued my education and studied biology. There is overwelming evidence to suggest that there is no genetic link to out of control drink. There however many social implications.
well it had nothing to do with the gen, that's all bullshit, it has everything to do with knowledge, if no one know no one know, if they don't know, they can't tell you if they think it's normal, so do you, they say like father like a son they don't mean it's in the gen .
Muslims don't drink alcohol, are they exempt from that gen ? anyone can be in alcoholic by just drinking alcohol, like they say, you take a lift and you press 10 you will get to 10, unless you choose to get out. knowledge
Will omega 3 in good amounts like 10g per day help? I believe all addicts are very depleted in various neurotransmitters and once they have stopped drinking, they could get putting in 10g fish oil (omega 3 which is great!) everyday for a couple of years to help get the chemicals back up and decrease relapse rates, along with high protein, low carb diet (like the greysheet diet for alcoholics). A good B vitamin, Magnesium/calcium for nerves. Herbs for liver, Milk thistle, burdock, dandelion.
@Catherine8raw My observations have shown me that alcoholics, overeaters tend to have other similarities, e.g. tendency for some to be promiscious, deeply depressed, suicidal, distructive/aggressive. Alot of these symptoms including the overwhelming urge to drink hard or eat for hours, is related to severe deficiency of serotinin, the person has to remedy themselves because they can't bare the misery and prozac is crap! EAT FISH OIL, LOADS! EAT FISH! STOP VEGETABLE OIL & MAN MADE FATS.
i first got drunk at the age of 13 and i knew it was gona be a big problem in my life from day one and i knew id end up an alcoholic.
I spent 10 years addicted to heavy drugs but those days are now gone.
Its alot harder for me to quit drinking than stopping drugs cos bottle shops are everywhere i go...i have 3 shops only 5mins walking distance from my house so when i quit the drugs the booze was right there.
you can tell your drug dealer to get fuckt but that bottle shops always there
I just wanted to say thankyou for sharing. I watched this video about 12 months ago and am now 11 months sober.. Your story is my story and I thank you so much for your honesty.. Unfortunately however, my partner has continued to drink and we are now parted.. And I now know the joys of life, sober.. Ur the bomb grrrl..
It's cost me everything ive ever had....and yet i still drink. Its my crutch that I lean on every day. Im 31...6 years ago I had everything a guy could ask for. AA doesnt work for everyone,....why am I ranting?
I worked 7 days a week for 5 + years , drank straight whiskey and beer every night. For many years , I wouldnt mix my drink perfred it staright. But managed to work my job still drink every single night . I wouldnt get out of control drunk like i see some people i would always be able to control my limits , and not act a fool. The day came when i had to quit ciggerettes , i quit smoking and drinking same time and since then feels like i never had a drink or smoked =P. How i did it ?
@yourboycal - when it comes to alcohol problems, there are classifications
(a) Problem drinker
(B) Alcohol dependent
(C) alcoholic
The life of an alcoholic is not for sissies - very nasty, and I don't care how "tough" you think you are , alcoholism, in its advances stages will control your life completely
its been 12 days since my last drink.... been drinking heavily for 6 years... i got to say i watched all your videos 13 days ago and I truly believe they helped me get this far... so thank you
Hi Manque - just stopped by here to say hello and once again to compliment you for the great service you're doing here. You have a wonderful persona and presentation, and I'm sure you've helped many people get on the path to sobriety.
There is advice and suggestions, people share thir experience , strenght and hope ,, you can choose to ignore it all as you already know everything ,, it says on drink these days to drink responsibly
But when people get drunk where is the responsibility? ,,
Yea, my family gave me alcohol when I was young for the holidays. I thought that was fun, and I liked how it made me feel good even at 7 or 8. I loved it when my Grandma would give me a little bit of whiskey when I got sick. Funny though my Grandma never drank, but she give us alchol when were little for an upset stoamck. Maybe thats normal, I dont know, I Know I would never do that because for one its illegal and 2 I dont know how that might effect a child.
Drinking makes me feel good inside. Cant believe I havent eaten today. I get a lot of calories from beer. I dont even feel hungry. How wierd. My stomack hurts though make I destroyed my stomack.
Please visit exposeaa.webs. We are looking for peoples stories who have been forced and coerced to participate in the AA faith by EAP. We will hold the recovery industry, alcoholics anonymous, and EAP accountable for the damages they cause by promoting 12 step religion as actual medical assistance. The promotion of incorrect information as medical fact kills people.
We are also looking for persons who have been denied organ transplants for failing to participate in the AA cult.
There is only the drunken mind and the sober mind which is in the friggen bible, its due to self consumption of a rhetorical mind of thought; The reason for religion is to clear the mind of self measure and presumption and asshole who label people to make a business out of human beings....Period,
Thank you so much for having the courage to make this video. It helped me to know that I am not alone. I am the same kind of person who drinks and drinks without stopping. God Bless You.
I can relate with what she is saying in this video... I've been abusing alcohol everyday for four years. I've lost my job, and even more devestating, my family. All because I can't put down the bottle.
Just dropped by to say hello. I admire what you're doing here. You have a nice way with new people and I feel you are really helping where it counts.
Sobriety is great! Last month I had my 40th anniversary. 40 wonderful years, thanks to the people in AA. I still go to meetings regularly so I can be there to help the new person and give back a little of what was given to me.
i went on a 5 month binge i went to sleep and woke up drinking addicted to beer vodka you name it i drank it .but it was tearing my life apart my relationship i had so many nights not knowing what i was doing in the morning i would wake up not knowing how i got there or what i did but now im going on a month and a half not sober .i dont know how i did it i never thought i could go on sober for this long but its not as hard as i thought the 1st couple of day a had withdrwls though
Never drive after five was my moto. Alcolism is such a controlling disease. But at leat I'm responsible, to a certain extent. Never drive after 5pm. xx
It is so hard. Not everyone will relate. I have to have it everyday and I want to stop, I don't even like it. Why do I do it? I have a very good life, semi-professional mother of two, living in a good neighbourhood. I just don't know why?
i've been sober for one week and seems like forever lol but im planning to stop for a long time I think ima start smokin lil bit of weed they say its good for addiction and I believe it plus weed is way better than alcohol. alcohol is evil!!!!
Jacques-- Hrm, I have had some pot sitting around here that I never use. Maybe I'll try to cure alcoholism with that. I don't really like it but then again, I don't like alcohol either...
I was sober 3 days until last night-- the longest I've been sober in 7 years or more. I quit once when I was younger for a year. My mom is an alcoholic, my brother, my cousin, my uncle, my mom's cousin, myself of course.... It has been infinitely harder this time. So far, I've been trying to quit for 5 or 6 years. I fully expect to die of it. Can't afford a fancy schmancy rehab center; AA didn't work for me. Was there anything in particular that allowed you to quit? Certain habits? Etc?
Just 2.5 years of abusing alcohol every day and I developed a massive anal fissure due to the heavy, acidic runs. This S.O.B. will turn the most hardcore alcoholic bum into a sober saint. I have been off booze for 3 months, trying to heal this itching, bleeding, hurting bastard up my ass. I have even contemplated suicide because this cut in my ass itches so damn much. I just wouldn't want to have to face God and explain why I killed myself because of an itchy asshole. DON'T DRINK!
I don't drink. I get pain in my shoulders. Maybe I'm allergic, idk. Anway, I have a good time when I go out, without drinking, And I don't worry about acting like a fool cause I figure everyone is drinking and they will just think I've been drinking, too, so I might as well cut loose.
Call me a troll, but I just love laying that AA "denial" circular logic on people...
They're not alcoholic (just like you), but the more they express this to me, the more I can use it to prove to them that they are "really an alkie in denial"...
I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! My dad is/was an alcoholic, i am a metalhead, we drink alot but sometimes i drink WAY too much and too often i got kicked out of school for drinking... I prefer weed to Alc. is definitly not better but its more peaceful and less damaging on the body... WHY THE FUCK is ALC. legal and weed not? fuckin' sys. so stupid
i am off work at the moment with "depression" but i know it's alcohol...getting my first therapy session on thursday and all you have said has made sense..good luck to you...i know i can beat beat this disease
Sorry I meant to write you're a Medical Student and a future Dentist. You have a lot going for you and you can overcome this addiction to Alcohol. You have to want to quit drinking to overcome this Addiction you have first! Very good video thanks for posting manque15.
i'm 23...i am a med student...future dentist. i am drinking as i type...vodka and beer right now. i had my first drink when i was 15 but it became fun when i got into college...i've lost everything because of it...and i still can't stop. so everyday when i see my house empty....no friends...broke up with my girl....i just solve it with pills and vodka. i still can't forget...but at least i'm lost. just wanted to share.....so cheers...
im 30 years old and i dont have a job (i lost it because of drinking) i was 14 when i started drinking, it has taken so much from me. all the wasted time, heartaches, money, failed relationships and road accidents. but i still drink! im sick of drinking, my wife promised me that she will leave me if i dont fix my life. so i made a decision to quit drinking, i hope i could pull this off. pitbullsid you're stilll young, you can still make it work. never lose hope buddy.
thank you! thank you so much for this....it sounds a little....well...you know! but you and TinaM1177 trying to help has actually made me realise that only i can help myself and that i need to want it first! i know it's been a month....i didn't quit right away...but i've been sober for almost 3 weeks now....it's been hard! trying to get my life back...i am sure that you can do it too
i wish you all the best...with your wife,a new job...i hope you're doing well
Pitbulsid I used to be an Alcholic and would drink a lot at Casinos. I won't name the drinks because it would be too much of a temptation for you to read it here. It sounds like you have a lot going for you; you're a Medical Student on a future Dentist. I am TRULY sorry to hear that you lost your girlfriend and your friends. Please don't mix pills with alcohol as it is dangerous. I feel you should find a local AA Meeting in the neighborhood. I am here to talk with you.
So the gene is the problem? WTF!!!! I DON'T BLAME MY ALCOHOLISM ON MY FAMILY GENES. It is YOU who makes the choices. Every person has the empowerment to make a choice between alcohol and no alcohol. If everyone was solely determined by their genes to be alcoholic, then alcoholics can have one more excuse to blame their problem on factors that do not actually put alcohol in their hands.
I have learned that the sole provider of the problem is myself. (bringing myself alcohol) Therefore, I find no valid argument to support that because of my family genes I like alcohol.
Since I have been inadvertently drawn into a discussion about the causes of relapse, let me be clear about my opinion. Relapse, IMO, is always the result of a conscious decision. There may be outside circumstances (people, places & things) or inner cravings at work, but we always decide whether or not to react to those things. Every relapse I have ever had was the result of my response to frustrating circumstances - not to those things in themselves. People make good or bad choices in life.
Just for discussion: Would you believe in a scenario where the sub-conscious obsession of a person is so strong that they forget entirely the fact that they are alcoholic, or that their own mind convinces them that they MUST drink?
"Would you believe in a scenario where the sub-conscious obsession ... is so strong that ... their own mind convinces them that they MUST drink?" ... weinerout
Thanks for actually trying to have a discussion about this. Yes, there may be times when the emotional obsession overrules your mind. It's also possible that a person can rationalize their drinking with a lame excuse or else consciously decide that they'll try to beat the odds, knowing full well the dangers involved. Good question...
The obsession we are discussing is the "insanity" mentioned in step 2 of AA. For a person who has admitted an inability to drink safely (powerlessness), the act of drinking again is an act of insanity. WHY do we do it?
The act of drinking again is a conscious decision but it's not a clear headed decision, if you know you haven't been able to handle it in the past. I'll gladly admit to that. Why we do it is a good question. There is no rational answer because it is not a rational act. But it is still voluntary and conscious.
"You did NOT take personal responsibility for your relapse. You blamed it on barking dogs..."
This comment is either a bald faced lie or or else it is delusional. Beware of trolls who stalk those they disagree with. Personal insults are their only means of argument.
AA & NA is FREE and doesn't really demand much. Addicts are addicts and I'd rather hang with a clean addict then someone who is using. It may have saved my life. Although I no longer attend meetings and rarely go to functions, I'll always be grateful to both programs. NA/AA works if you work it (the steps). People who really work the steps are very happy. Too bad that most people don't work the steps.
A friend of mine recently got a DWI and has decided to quit drinking, which I support. He is now going to a non-12-step meeting, an atheist AA meeting and a more traditional AA meeting where members favor the disease model and talk about God. I tell him to take whatever he can use from each meeting and make up his own mind about what to believe. Neither of us believe in the disease model but support groups of some sort are still good. I've seen alcohol destroy too many lives.
" Be careful Schuster. Until you really decide whether or not you are an alcoholic you could be extremely vunerable.".
Anyone who has had problems with alcohol can suffer a set back. But if you attribute a slip to your own free will decision and take responsibility for your actions, you may be taunted in AA because you didn't attribute a relapse to your "disease". This is why I will never go back to AA. I will not set myself up for this kind of harassment.
You got it backwards. You did NOT take personal responsibility for your relapse. You blamed it on barking dogs and at a time when you were all over YouTube and 12sf sneering at AA members. In AA we take responsibility for our actions.
I don't find the self defined label of being a perpetual alcoholic useful or helpful. It's an arbitrary definition. Also, the genetic evidence is controversial and genetics never compels you to drink; it only acts to predispose you to drink too much. You were an alcoholic when you drank and you'll become an alcoholic if you start drinking again. I'd rather refer to call myself as a non-drinker who used to drink as an alcoholic.
Schuster, you'll probably be allright as long as you stay away from barking dogs. Wait! Do you have other triggers? How about meowing cats? How about church bells? Be careful Schuster. Until you really decide whether or not you are an alcoholic you could be extremely vunerable
TO ALL SEEKING HELP WITH ADDICTION: You need to look into treatment with a drug called Ibogaine. Ibogaine is an addiction interruptor, not a maintenance drug like methadone or suboxone. Ibogaine will stop your withdrawal,elevate your mood, and stop cravings. I have Ibogaine videos faved on my chanel. It is not legal in the U.S., but there are clinics in Mexico. Two I know of are 1. Dream House 2. Villa Serena. Good luck to all!!
It's very easy for the critics to say that an alcoholic is a weak individual and that A.A. is just a cult. But for us who have the disease and who work the A.A. program, it is a solution. There will always be those who must die so other may live........a very misunderstood statement for those who are not alcoholic or who are in denial of their disease.
I am also a binge-drinking alcoholic. My 4th day. I watched this because I am experiencing an extreme mental craving of just going out. I am banned from drinking in my house (my parents don't want to enable). I also relate to it 'not being the sort of person I am' I've found myself associating with people who enable my drinking: other people with problems with drink/drugs. The gene is also in my family. I started at 14,got drunk first time and every time after that. No severe life events either.
Alcohol is not the answer to your problems. Try to use will-power. If you need to talk I'm here for you. Please don't ever think of suicide. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If you need to talk I'm here for you.
i'm not suicidal when i drink just when i dont drink...its kinda like this....be depressed and dont drink which and deal with racing thoughts or drink and let the thoughts go away..you know what i mean?
i feel you. God please help. i cant stop. went to my first detox about a week ago. ativans got me throwed off.. i went to detox off alcohol, got to where im detoxing alcohol and ativan at once. im drunk now and am still jerkng in addition to shakes from wd. im exhausted. i dont even fight it anymoer. if it calls my name./..i come running. God help me. someone help ,me. i cant reach oblivion, my tolerance is too high...a liter to a !/2 gal a day and i cant get drunk.i let this get out of control
your'e fucked ... sorry i thought i was too ! just try to wean yourself from the booze and instead of drinking a 1/2gal a day, drink a quart a day, etc, etc ... whatever you do, DON'T STOP ALL AT ONCE !
a week sober now. i am nuttier than squirrel shit now.cant sleep cant eat. i am wearing my wife out, my libido is very strong. when i went to the doctor 5 days ago, she gave me a script for a few ativan. i should be out of the woods when my weed runs out. weeds easier to wd off of than ativan. still shook like hell first few days. my wife almost went to the liquor store. i told her i would pour it out. lol.
I think has to do with your definition of an alcoholic. In the English language an alcoholic is someone who is addicted to alcohol, to say that you are an alcoholic when you do not abuse the substance anymore is like saying that you smoke cigarettes just because you had been addicted to them at one point.
just listening to you talk....you seemed to be a social drinker who was addicted.....i drink alone daily from sun up to sun down.....the only way out is to end my life which i have thought of for sometime....we are of two different levels of alcoholism
I am a recovering alcohlic. Haven't had a drink in 23 years. The correct explanation of this desease is: a mental obsession followed by a physical compulsion. I have been in AA for all this time and it's the best thing that happened to me.
I struggle with alcoholism every day. Trying AA. People who are not alcoholics cannot understand the hell that comes with being an alcoholic. I can stay sober for awhile but always fall off the wagon. I like listening to you manque15.
I had a horrific childhood and it helped me deal with all kinds of negative emotions in later life but ultimately it comes to bite you on the arse. sober now for 13 weeks.
What a great person you are manque 15, it all helps.
truth is there's no such thing as alcoholism/addiction. so-called alcoholic drinking/using is just one expression of a compulsive personality. the key to lasting and satisfying recovery, therefore, isn't simply to stop drinking and using but, rather, to move beyond the entire compulsive lifestye. takes more work than your typical recovery program but well worth it in the end. anything short of this will leave you struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as relapse.
alcoholic gene? wat a load of bullshit. u choose 2 be an alcoholic, alchoholics are selfish people, they dont care what there drinking is doing to the ones who love them there screwin up every1 elses life aswell as theres - selfish and ignorant
A REPORT!!! OOOO LETS ALL READ THE SMART GUYS REPORT, WE COULD LEEEEEARN FROM THE SMAAARTY PANTS AND HOW HE COMES UP WITH A PERFECTLY RESEARCHED REPORT ON HOW EVERYTHING CAN BE BLAMED ON GENES. LET US ALL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THIS SMART GUYS REPORT WILL SOLVE ALL OUR PROBLEMS.....WHICH WE CANT FIX BECAUSE THEY ARE GENETIC OF COURSE. research some more dipstick
whoa, you ought to learn how to READ boy. i simply mentioned that there are alcoholic genes. did i blame it solely on the genes? wow i didnt know a one liner could be misread. maybe you ought to have your brain implanted with some COMMON SENSE and reading comprehension coz obviously you have none. haha loser:p read it again and again till you get it dispstick how bout you read my report so youll learn more..hmm? genetics works with the environment. the genes just makes the addiction stronger
i dont believe in that bullshit gene no matter wat ur stupid report says. i believe in a gene like the fat gene just because humans need fat and have always had it.......its natural, so i understand how some people's genes can make them more prone to being fatter. but this alcohol gene is a load of shit and another excuse, thats the point i was getting at in my exaggggggerated comment dipstick.
Oh wow. well since your WAYYYYY smarter than the researchers and scientists who confirmed that there are alcoholic genes then..damn, Youre good. not. jeez, get a life dude. I was merely saying that the genes add to addiction. Its not the cause.
sounds like you need a drink. why in the world would you care enough to even respond? why are you even watching this video? Nn alcholics never wonder if they are an alcoholic. My de fault thinking sounds a lot like yours. And I am a sober alcoholic...
I want to know how did you change. My childhood was perfect! I was adopted but I Knew both adoptive and bio parents as I grew up and both of my dads were alcoholics. I have seven brothers and 4 sisters and alcoholism seems to run rampant especially when adoption comes into play!
I am going to tell you people something! You cannot put down a drink when you have 3 torn disks near your neck and shoulders and people getting laid off at work! I do not drink at work! Alcoholism is a very difficult habit to kick! Never serve children alcohol like i was served!
I know the dangers of alcohol! I have had pancreatitis 3 times!
The AA meetings helped me for a short time then yo have big shots in the workplace stealing out of the bank account just like wall street! I relapsed because they laid off our 4 hour employee and thus added more stress to my job and I started drinking again so I am not blaming myself!
energy to go my first aa meeting. Question about aa it about complete sobrity, recon thats going to be hard one for me. cheers, (probaby a bad sign out, with subject, lol)
Hey your videos are really interesting , i try to just drink on the weekends even then it kills my funds bad, when u quit did u stop entirley or did u just cut down the drinkin? peace:)
Unfortunately there is no trying to 'cut down' for the pisshead...you either go cold turkey or not...so it was cold turkey for me...I had tried in the past to cut back but like everything in my life its all or nothing. :)
its so bad that culture is to binge drink. its like that in my town, about 60% of it is bars, if you see someone you havnt seen in ages they say "we should have a drink sometime". Sometimes i think it would have been easier to be a heroin addict, at least its not promoted everywhere you go! i sympathise with any alcoholic, u dont know unless uv been through it
AA saved my life...openend my eyes, my life was a stinking piece of crap whilst boozing, the program & it's principles gave me support in the beginning of my sobriety... now it's my choice, AA guided me what to do and what not to do...now I know how to live ''happily'' and sober. When stopping drinking one needs guidance..afterall addiction is an illness..oh & by the way I didn't have to switch to anything...to fill in the gap my AA friends did that naturally. Nice vid darling..god bless 5*
I respect you for making this. I could never be that brave. The painful part of being an alcoholic for me was having my emotional side screaming for drink and my rational side trying to pull me back, saying "stop, you degenerate". And the next day, when my head felt like a shock absorber, my rational side would triumph but it was always too late.
I know EXACTLY what you mean, I'll be on the way home from work with only so much money to last me for the week. But of course one side of me is telling myself that I can drink, that somehow I can afford it, while the other side is saying NO you CAN'T... Of course the wrong side always wins, and I regret it every morning. Alcoholism is VERY strong. I'm drinking while saying this by the way...

My short stay in AA was for the most part a negative experience. I was however forced to examine what I was being told. For instance: I was raised a roman catholic who after being educated "evolved" into becoming an unconcered, uncommitted agnostic. Through the bullying tactictics of AA I am now a militant atheist. I continued my education and studied biology. There is overwelming evidence to suggest that there is no genetic link to out of control drink. There however many social implications.

well it had nothing to do with the gen, that's all bullshit, it has everything to do with knowledge, if no one know no one know, if they don't know, they can't tell you if they think it's normal, so do you, they say like father like a son they don't mean it's in the gen .
Muslims don't drink alcohol, are they exempt from that gen ? anyone can be in alcoholic by just drinking alcohol, like they say, you take a lift and you press 10 you will get to 10, unless you choose to get out. knowledge

Will omega 3 in good amounts like 10g per day help? I believe all addicts are very depleted in various neurotransmitters and once they have stopped drinking, they could get putting in 10g fish oil (omega 3 which is great!) everyday for a couple of years to help get the chemicals back up and decrease relapse rates, along with high protein, low carb diet (like the greysheet diet for alcoholics). A good B vitamin, Magnesium/calcium for nerves. Herbs for liver, Milk thistle, burdock, dandelion.

@Catherine8raw My observations have shown me that alcoholics, overeaters tend to have other similarities, e.g. tendency for some to be promiscious, deeply depressed, suicidal, distructive/aggressive. Alot of these symptoms including the overwhelming urge to drink hard or eat for hours, is related to severe deficiency of serotinin, the person has to remedy themselves because they can't bare the misery and prozac is crap! EAT FISH OIL, LOADS! EAT FISH! STOP VEGETABLE OIL & MAN MADE FATS.

i first got drunk at the age of 13 and i knew it was gona be a big problem in my life from day one and i knew id end up an alcoholic.
I spent 10 years addicted to heavy drugs but those days are now gone.
Its alot harder for me to quit drinking than stopping drugs cos bottle shops are everywhere i go...i have 3 shops only 5mins walking distance from my house so when i quit the drugs the booze was right there.
you can tell your drug dealer to get fuckt but that bottle shops always there

Since I have been inadvertently drawn into a discussion about the causes of relapse, let me be clear about my opinion. Relapse, IMO, is always the result of a conscious decision. There may be outside circumstances (people, places & things) or inner cravings at work, but we always decide whether or not to react to those things. Every relapse I have ever had was the result of my response to frustrating circumstances - not to those things in themselves. People make good or bad choices in life.

"Would you believe in a scenario where the sub-conscious obsession ... is so strong that ... their own mind convinces them that they MUST drink?" ... weinerout
Thanks for actually trying to have a discussion about this. Yes, there may be times when the emotional obsession overrules your mind. It's also possible that a person can rationalize their drinking with a lame excuse or else consciously decide that they'll try to beat the odds, knowing full well the dangers involved. Good question...
prschuster 2 years ago
The obsession we are discussing is the "insanity" mentioned in step 2 of AA. For a person who has admitted an inability to drink safely (powerlessness), the act of drinking again is an act of insanity. WHY do we do it?
weinerout 2 years ago
The act of drinking again is a conscious decision but it's not a clear headed decision, if you know you haven't been able to handle it in the past. I'll gladly admit to that. Why we do it is a good question. There is no rational answer because it is not a rational act. But it is still voluntary and conscious.

AA & NA is FREE and doesn't really demand much. Addicts are addicts and I'd rather hang with a clean addict then someone who is using. It may have saved my life. Although I no longer attend meetings and rarely go to functions, I'll always be grateful to both programs. NA/AA works if you work it (the steps). People who really work the steps are very happy. Too bad that most people don't work the steps.

A friend of mine recently got a DWI and has decided to quit drinking, which I support. He is now going to a non-12-step meeting, an atheist AA meeting and a more traditional AA meeting where members favor the disease model and talk about God. I tell him to take whatever he can use from each meeting and make up his own mind about what to believe. Neither of us believe in the disease model but support groups of some sort are still good. I've seen alcohol destroy too many lives.

" Be careful Schuster. Until you really decide whether or not you are an alcoholic you could be extremely vunerable.".
Anyone who has had problems with alcohol can suffer a set back. But if you attribute a slip to your own free will decision and take responsibility for your actions, you may be taunted in AA because you didn't attribute a relapse to your "disease". This is why I will never go back to AA. I will not set myself up for this kind of harassment.

I don't find the self defined label of being a perpetual alcoholic useful or helpful. It's an arbitrary definition. Also, the genetic evidence is controversial and genetics never compels you to drink; it only acts to predispose you to drink too much. You were an alcoholic when you drank and you'll become an alcoholic if you start drinking again. I'd rather refer to call myself as a non-drinker who used to drink as an alcoholic.

TO ALL SEEKING HELP WITH ADDICTION: You need to look into treatment with a drug called Ibogaine. Ibogaine is an addiction interruptor, not a maintenance drug like methadone or suboxone. Ibogaine will stop your withdrawal,elevate your mood, and stop cravings. I have Ibogaine videos faved on my chanel. It is not legal in the U.S., but there are clinics in Mexico. Two I know of are 1.

I think has to do with your definition of an alcoholic. In the English language an alcoholic is someone who is addicted to alcohol, to say that you are an alcoholic when you do not abuse the substance anymore is like saying that you smoke cigarettes just because you had been addicted to them at one point.

truth is there's no such thing as alcoholism/addiction. so-called alcoholic drinking/using is just one expression of a compulsive personality. the key to lasting and satisfying recovery, therefore, isn't simply to stop drinking and using but, rather, to move beyond the entire compulsive lifestye. takes more work than your typical recovery program but well worth it in the end. anything short of this will leave you struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as relapse.

Oh wow. well since your WAYYYYY smarter than the researchers and scientists who confirmed that there are alcoholic genes then..damn, Youre good. not. jeez, get a life dude. I was merely saying that the genes add to addiction. Its not the cause.

sounds like you need a drink. why in the world would you care enough to even respond? why are you even watching this video? Nn alcholics never wonder if they are an alcoholic. My de fault thinking sounds a lot like yours. And I am a sober alcoholic...

I want to know how did you change. My childhood was perfect! I was adopted but I Knew both adoptive and bio parents as I grew up and both of my dads were alcoholics. I have seven brothers and 4 sisters and alcoholism seems to run rampant especially when adoption comes into play!

I am going to tell you people something! You cannot put down a drink when you have 3 torn disks near your neck and shoulders and people getting laid off at work! I do not drink at work! Alcoholism is a very difficult habit to kick! Never serve children alcohol like i was served!
I know the dangers of alcohol! I have had pancreatitis 3 times!

Stress is a common cause of alcoholism especially when has to do with a job loss or layoff!
Many alcoholics relapse in this case! Our 4 hour employee was laid off and more work was piled on us thanks to Bush!
You try to do the job I do and not be stressed out!
For you people who say quit drinking, I will bet you were never in the position to open the mouth!

The AA meetings helped me for a short time then yo have big shots in the workplace stealing out of the bank account just like wall street! I relapsed because they laid off our 4 hour employee and thus added more stress to my job and I started drinking again so I am not blaming myself!

Unfortunately there is no trying to 'cut down' for the pisshead...you either go cold turkey or not...so it was cold turkey for me...I had tried in the past to cut back but like everything in my life its all or nothing. :)

its so bad that culture is to binge drink. its like that in my town, about 60% of it is bars, if you see someone you havnt seen in ages they say "we should have a drink sometime". Sometimes i think it would have been easier to be a heroin addict, at least its not promoted everywhere you go! i sympathise with any alcoholic, u dont know unless uv been through it

AA saved my life...openend my eyes, my life was a stinking piece of crap whilst boozing, the program & it's principles gave me support in the beginning of my sobriety... now it's my choice, AA guided me what to do and what not to do...now I know how to live ''happily'' and sober. When stopping drinking one needs guidance..afterall addiction is an illness..oh & by the way I didn't have to switch to anything...to fill in the gap my AA friends did that naturally. Nice vid darling..god bless 5*

I respect you for making this. I could never be that brave. The painful part of being an alcoholic for me was having my emotional side screaming for drink and my rational side trying to pull me back, saying "stop, you degenerate". And the next day, when my head felt like a shock absorber, my rational side would triumph but it was always too late.

I know EXACTLY what you mean, I'll be on the way home from work with only so much money to last me for the week. But of course one side of me is telling myself that I can drink, that somehow I can afford it, while the other side is saying NO you CAN'T... Of course the wrong side always wins, and I regret it every morning. Alcoholism is VERY strong. I'm drinking while saying this by the way...
