Well,i dont have a use for alcohol any more,my body and brain and thoughts are just fine now so its a good thing just to stay away from alcohol and live sober📵⚘️👍😃

Did not have those things before I became a drunk why would it after

Just because you quit drinking doesn’t mean everything’s not going to keep driving you nuts. In fact drinking was a coping mechanism for me in all of my insane jobs before I quit and just went to barber college. To me barbering isn’t a real job. All you’re basically doing is just hanging out killing time in between haircuts so it improves your patience. But my alcoholic cravings went away and that was all I could really ask for.

Great human condition observation

You really spoke to me with this video, it was excellent thank you for sharing. One thought I had to add is that sometimes healing certain aspects is only possible through a relationship or friendship, so you rightly say we cannot wait until we are this "perfect" version to seek out those human connections. I look forward to see your future videos, all the best.

Like the Bluesman down in the blues and the bottle,staying down,like Hollywood is right now,and why,when we have paradise before us.I believe you can write an extreme down n' out blues song and be totally happy!Anyway so many great points I can relate with,Thank You! tone raven-gtr/voc We Are The Black Things(Hollywood Ca)

575 Days of Sobriety...I chose to eliminate alcohol as I realized after a few extremely hard years, death of family members, beloved pets, some growth and also confrontation of abuse suffered as a child and adult that I was using...using alcohol to quiet my nervous system and anesthetize myself. I thought I was brave and bold but actually limping around wounded, suffering and creating a level of unwellness for myself that I wanted to die. Now, It is quiet...friendships altered, family relationships altered and I have cocooned myself. I believe that this cocoon phase is CRUCIAL to discovering our next level. Who are we? What do we really want? What sort of life do we really want to live? What is the healthiest shape of relationship for us as givers & receivers. What can we contribute to this world while also fostering optimal health & well being for ourselves. Thank you for this beautiful and profound conversation. Little by little we step forward, lean in, renewed in our belief of our own Beauty and all of the Beauty in this world. 💜🙏💜

Thank you for making this video, coming up on a year sober in a month, it hasn't been what I've wanted, thought things would take a 180 for the better but in reality things just got so much harder, you put it into words that I couldn't.

Thank you for sharing, its what I needed to hear. What you are saying is real. Sobriety is not enough, there has to be a goal or future aim that supersedes the dope that numbs the problems that lie underneath.

To love and to be loved. That’s what I’ve been wanting too, the reason that I keep trying to be better. Whenever I say that to my friends, sometimes I feel silly or feel that it’s too cheesy. They don’t really get it either. It’s comforting to see someone out there who feels the same way. Thank you for sharing your story and make people like me feel less alone.

I was sober for 8 years and going to meetings and learning about higher power and praying and still miserable then I finally learned the truth about God from the Holy Bible

Got sober in 2017 and i had the same exact ideas about what sobriety would do for me. Almost 7 years later, i realize that was actually true but what i didn't know was how i was going to have to go through a whole new level of hell to get there. But this is the "hero's journey". Thank you so much for this, i relate to everything you said and you have helped many people with your openness 🥰

You showed up on recommended videos! I appreciate you. 18 months sober , I can relate 🙏🏼

Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.

Great description on sobriety. I can definitely relate. The initial part of overcoming the substance passes quickly. It’s dealing with the emotions, challenges and ups and downs of life without your drug of choice. Not having an escape but having to go through them sober. Having to feel and deal with life. It’s rough but wonderful.

definately did not expect this video to be so new with so little views. i dont know how i ended up here but the stuff you talk about hit the spot. haha you articulate the thought very well. got some valuable mind blow moments for myself and seeds of thought! Beautiful!! mic drop in the end basically. best of luck to you. That was hell of a video! :)

Good to listen to u. I'm almost exactly the same. Can learn from you. Thanks for sharing. Good luck, you can do it.

I listened to this 100 times.

Fourth Analysis: The compulsion to eat ALL of the hot dogs, which includes all of humanity and the planet, must be a metaphor for the shortsightedness of the human brain. "Hotdog Town USA", and the necessity to eat all of Hotdog Town USA, is therefore a statement about climate change and human "cannibalism" of the planet and all life surrounding us. We are hotdog town, and the world is our hot dogs; hot dogs we MUST eat due to a fatal flaw in our brains. Beyond that, "Hotdog Town USA" is a statement about the inevitable heat death of the universe due to entropy. A process we cannot stop, much as the citizens of Hotdog Town cannot stop eating themselves and their loved ones.

Third analysis: It appears household pets like cats and dogs are immune to the effects of Hot Dog Town disease. And yet, they still are devoured by the citizens.

Second Analysis: This is surely the work of North Korea. Possible subliminal messages? It invokes a feeling of aggression and a masochistic lust to continue listening without end.

First analysis: If everything is a hot dog, and the only rule of Hot Dog Town is to eat all the hot dogs, is Hot Dog Town USA an autocannibalistic society? And yet, they have no pain or sadness. How is this possible? What kind of sick world is this?
