Bad Habits, Alcohol and Social Anxiety

[Killstorm9000]

And how long did this last? 6 months?

[ConfusedAnxiousLife]

Your habits remind me of myself. I drink all the time due to bad feelings and social anxiety is a huge problem for me.

^_^ HAHAHAHA...at the beginning of video, GOOD STUFF "COKE ANYONE?"

The video start was an (eyebrow raiser), but I understand you have personal problems; hope you're able to deal with them!

[diamondfairy93]

Ewwwwwww...the beginning aha

[drunkenp0t]

i thought it was just me until i look it up and found your video post now i know i'm not alone,

idk about you guy but i get the same problem with greasy food you name it fast food fry food also from smoking weed,

but i don't do that anymore quit it about 11year now idk i'm hard headed never listen to my body even tho i know is really bad for me.

soon as i recover i'm on it again repeating cycle

[drunkenp0t]

i have this problem for 7year now, got it from heavy drinking and pain killer pill

i took 12 pill that night and drank a lot, that night my live had change i went to the er and never been the same ever since,

now to recover i have to sleep it off take about 1 whole week just to feel better.

[MrButtbanger]

After I lost my job over a year ago I fell into a bad cycle. I drank to be comfortable around people and then I started drinking alone but I can't be around people I don't know it's crippling. I don't want to talk because everything comes out wrong and sounds stupid. I have locked my self away and tried to stop drinking but I relapsed and now I really feel like shit. Job interviews make me want to vomit. Only thing that keeps me sane is the size of the universe and nothing truly matters.

[PeetuJ]

... public places is like visiting in hell. If i know i have to visit store tomorrow, i cant sleep well because all of those stupid thought in my head.."What if i start to shake again, what if i puke..." I really hate this life wrecker. But never going to give up!

[PeetuJ]

I have suffered social anxiety long as i can remember but it wasnt that bad till last summer. One day I went at the mall, had really bad hangover that day.. felt really weak soon as i step inside the mall, started to fear what if i will pass out or something..that would make me look like an idiot (or thats what i thought). When i was waiting in the line my turn to pay my stuff i started to shake like crazy, i quess i was having panic attack... but anyway, since that day visiting...

[rafaeltrejothethird]

Hey man I can relate about all of that! Its a struggle just know that Jesus loves u and can help u through it too the closer we get to Him the better we want to live!:)

[RolandRhodes1]

im in those crossroads. Cant drink anymore . Im getting nowhere

[jonesgerard]

40% alcoholism rate in Russia.

Try AA, it worked for me,

your description seems like a previous life for me, I forgot how bad it used to be, like a nitemare.

[NewDayStudios]

thanks for this, im a lone drinker outside with sa aswell, ive recently found this out but its only made things worse, its got that bad i keep waking up with footprints on my back!

[smootharse1]

Thanks for posting Dude.I hope all is well !

[hy867129]

this is why Alcohol is forbiden in islam.

[TrevoStuden]

I can relate 100% with the days after drinking. The feelings of anxiety and guilt etc. it's really encouraging and inspiring to hear others who go through the same things as myself.

[totopocha]

Thanks very much. Your video is very moving, at least for people like me, who have gone through some of the things you mention, like alcohol abuse and how that affects every other aspect of your life. I can completely relate to how you feel, it is great to look at oneself in the mirror, feeling happy about being just whom one is without the need of alcohol abuse and the YES, absolutely horrible hangovers...Thanks very much, and keep it up = )

[PwNa93]

Your vids rock, I'm quiting my bad habits andam on my way to a beter life

[DJLunasf]

sounds like you are russian. sober, happy.rock on. :)

[amberpoovey]

So would you say those behaviors caused your deppression or were a symptom of it?

[imahog666]

this video is right on, we all appreciate your video. I quit drinking for 40 days and it was very hard. the only reason i could follow through with it was because i knew that one day i would be able to do it again. now im back into my bad habits and the cycle starts again. I have to quit again but its hard

Вов!Спасибо за видео.Очень правильное оно .Для нашей страны и не только.Но ты живешь скорее всего в Штатах давно или родился там? Если есть время напиши по язык ...

[xgregg007]

i have anxiety caused by alcohol, something about serotonin in my brain-stem, any help?

[JRHartly1984]

Best video I've seen on youtube regarding this problem.

[Diazt3r]

its a vicious cycle my friend

anxiety leads to depression

thats why i try to push myself to have a healthier life. i stopped smoking weed, try to work out, etc

people think i was retarded b/c i got nervous

keep fighting it

[tomosoniq]

I'm facing similar issues with alcohol, Anxiety/Fear/Stress/Paranoia/D­epression. I have reduced my alcohol intake considerably over the last year (Once a week). My next step is to reduce it to a maximum of once a month possibly even altogether. I am now in control of my life feel and feelso much better, I attend my local gym as often as possible (I try 5 days a week). I'd recommend anyone to take action and rid the anxiety that you may be trying to conceal.

Inspiring words Vladimir, thanks

[JyaLeaf1911]

couldnt you cut out the first part?

[jdncoke2]

This video was nice to watch. I myself have started to suffer from anxiety and i even have panic attacks the day after- if i drink too much on a night out. I'm considering giving up alcahol also as it isn't inspiring to me anymore and i feel that there are more important things @ stake in my life. Anxiety isn't a nice thing to go through, and it is true that alcahol does not help in any way shape or form. Cheers for this anyway

[Piarose7]

alkohol or cigarrettes are never good. Sounds familiar with going to bed too late, but i'm also trying to get away from this habit, some workout helps also to become a little more confident. Thank you for sharing this!

[dimsdale321]

I am afraid that people will ask me what i have been doing for the recent years, and i will have to say "absolutely nothing". That will humiliate me, what do you think i should do.

[dimsdale321]

I have all of these habits except for drinking alcohol. I tries to shake them about 3 years ago when i started going to the gym 6 days a week. I know, a bit obsessive, but it got me out the house. Sadly a year later i discovered 'World of Warcraft', and my life went straight back into the same habits and i can't shake them to this very day. I am affraid to go back to the gym because overall it was getting me nowhere in life. i just don't know what else to do with myself.

[nighthawk5556]

Going to the gym for me was one of the biggest confidence boosters of my life. I spent a tiny fraction of my week doing something healthy, and it shed weight, and also it helped me make healthier choices such as not smoking. Sad thing is I injured my shoulder by benching more than I could handle, and injured my shoulder bad. 4 years later, any workout I do hurts it. I wish to God I could go back and not push myself so much. Now I'm fat with bad habits again.

MY POINT, if ur able GET 2 THE GYM

[dimsdale321]

I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to go to the gym without hurting yourself. It was for me as it was for you, a great confidence booster. I know my excuse is not as valid as yours, but i discovered a game where i could be immersed into a world, and life, which was vastly better than my own. Being an online game, i could socialize with people. No problems, no worries, and no anxiety. I regret to this day that i started playing, cause it made me stop working out, and i spent all day on it.

[nighthawk5556]

It's ok man, really all u did was find a 'vice'. Everyone has to have a place they can go to let it all go. An escape, if u will. Anything u do in WOW doesn't reflect ur real life. . . except for the time spent lol. There are a LOT worse escapes I can think of. You're not hurting yourself as long as u have priorities. I know a lot of successful ppl that enjoy the hell outta games like that. Be good at it bro. That's all. Be well

[WickedG5150]

[Cavin21]

Thanks so much! This really has helped! I thought about that it could of been my bad habits that were causing these horrible feelings but I didn't know. But I will try to change. thanks again.. =]

[butterfield98756]

Read the game

[xergr]

Doesn't help! I'll try Paxil CR and CBT combined!

[Alex0009111]

True,you got to love your self first

[normalperson09]

keep up the positive stuff! good job man

[love9boy]

thanks for making a video about alcohol abuse and social anxiety...I struggle everyday with alcohol and social anxiety. It's a topic I hope is discussed more in the SA community on YouTube. Thanks again!

[VladimirRussianDude]

yeah man, I know how strong those feelings can get. the strongest ones that I deal with are anger, grasping (for a better life and feeling better) and of course anxiety. I'm slowly learning to respond to those feelings in a positive way. I can totally see though how drinking alcohol is an easy quick fix to cover up those feelings. That's what used to do for years. However, it doesn't help long term :\

[BlackLabelSlushie]

@VladimirRussianDude Great video Ive experienced every single thing you said - serious constant drinking, sleeping 4am to1PM. bad food. No exercise. Smoke a pack. Then like u changed cigs/alc/exercise dramatically. AMAZED at how much my anxiety went down. My big demon now is still procrastination. Can you make a video on it and any tips you've learned? Plus what meditation do you do?

[knobslap]

Hi Vladimir, really really great video. Very inspirational!! Can i just ask how much were you drinking before you quit? it's ok if you don't want to answer that. Also do you take any medication? Thanks soooo much for posting these videos they're awesome

[VladimirRussianDude]

I was drinking A LOT on weekends, usually until I would black out, only once a week though, I couldn't do it more than. It was like a habit for me - have to go out and get drunk on Fri or Sat night. I'm not taking any medications nor do I want to try any, I feel that recovery from social anxiety is possible without meds and thats the route I choose. What's really helping me at the moment is all my healthy habits and meditation :)
