 Hey what's up, you guys welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, hi, hello, I'm Lydia and if you are new here, make sure you hit the subscribe button to join the growing family. Today I wanted to talk about why I stopped drinking. Now, obviously I did make a video back in December last year that I had a relapse with alcohol. I thought that I had five years sober and ruined it unboxing day. I drank an entire bottle of vodka and threw up unboxing day in front of my entire family. Me and alcohol, no mix. I did sleep well though after. No hangover for me. Let's talk about the reason why. So I was on a night out, I drank way too much, got thrown out of the nightclub. My friends came out with me. I, according to police, passed out in the middle of a stream and paramedics put tubes down my throat. So it was pretty serious really. My friends, there were nowhere to be found them. So great friends, quality people. When I came round in A&E, the doctor came in and basically said to me, if you don't stop drinking, you'll end up dead within the month. So I took his advice and I stopped drinking. That was a really scary moment though, a realisation that I could have died if I hadn't stopped and I don't want to share these details to be triggering. I'm sharing my story because I want people to avoid going through what I went through. Now, the thing you'll remember about teenage me is I went out drinking every night. If there was alcohol, I was there. My first ever night out, I, well, I heard it from other people. Apparently I did 15 vodka shots. I went out to have a light drink and spend some time with a friend. When I drink alcohol, I commit. I definitely commit. But when it, honestly when it comes to alcohol, you have to think, is it worth the damage it's gonna cause? Drinking can cause liver damage. In all honesty, I will say that I have an alcohol issue because I do. Ooh, the light's faded. And I switched an artificial light on. That's why I get to try to film a daylight. I love this chair. But drinking is something that I can't do. As of today, the 26th of February. I'm two months sober. Please just take from this video one thing. If you're gonna drink, drink responsibly. Don't go out with the... Don't go out with the intention of getting drunk. Go out with the intention of having a few drinks, meet some friends, dance, get a taxi home. Do you know how times I've walked it? Do you know how times I've walked home drunk alone? I can't count. Because my friends lived in the central heart of Preston and I lived out. Be safe when you're drinking alcohol. That's my advice. Thank you for watching this video. Like I said, if you are new, make sure you hit the subscribe button during the growing family.
