Thanks you now I know what my daughter is going through

Some days I feel like I need to save myself from my own self!

Therapy?

Hey Rich, you aren't alone ❤

Let's go Rich, you can do it man.

Coffee is also just as bad as alcohol

Its a pill. It doesnt work as what they say. It can help but also makes things worse when off it. Ur brain is listening to receive signals alcohol is in the system and chemicles start to exchange in the brain and that whole dopamine kicks in. Once you stop alot of people go Wayyy over board and are worse for it cause the brain is listening and wanting that dopamine hit alcohol gives ya that when u do drink when off it you will wayyy over compensate. I heard its horrible but ppl want to believe in pills rather than themselves. Your theory on "It works for some people" i believe is correct. I think it works on people that havent put years and years into making themselves problem drinkers. Think about it. A persons brain who started drinking for hardcore for 5 years is way different than the person who drank hard for 25 years. I think it might take the edge of early stage problem drinkers but nothing they couldnt of done without will power. The more years you do hard drinking the worse its going to be or harder. I am no AA guy never been....but i will say go see a Dr and tell them ur plans and commit to yourself on stopping. i do know AA says you "Got to want to quit" and i believe this is correct but you got to want it like you have never wanted anything more. Just my 2 cents.

I just cannot imagine ever having a drink in the morning. I have a couple drinks every night but I think I'm going to stop for a while just to prove its not owning me.

You should be proud of yourself❤

I been through the worst things a human can withstand both physically and emotionally, yet i never touched as much as a single cigarette. And beers were only reserved for bew years eve as a special treat once a year. I just never saw the point in making my situation eorse but i guess some people just decide to sink in pity instead of swimming... Edit: Odds are, if you can think of it, i have probably been through it. Everything from childhood r*pe to having no bed to sleep on due to poverty, extreme physical buIIying, chronic illness, seeing loved ones get kiIIed, and many many many other things...

congratulations to everyone who have this struggle,God bless you sir ❤❤❤❤

Dealt with this for 25 years. About to have 14 months. This literally was a typical day for me described here. 1/2 pint of straight vodka at 7 am. Another 1/2 pint at lunch, no food at all. Got off work at 4pm, buy a pint. 1/2 for the trip home and the other half for later that evening. Every. Single. Day.

Congratulations! 🎉

Outstanding! Thank you for your words! God bless you and keep it going!! ❤

Me too!

Naltrexone doesn’t speed up your metabolism. It’s an opiate blocker, many people get endorphins from food so it stops the feelings for food too.

So Man how did you quit ?

Good morning!!! Things got crazy here w an ice storm then snow, the girls were out of school for an extra week, I've waiting for things to get back to normal schedule to reach out, I'll email you soon.

Dear god stop drinking in the mic

The more you try to control the things around you, the less control you have within. Learning to accept the inevitably of change one day at a time builds tenacity.

You nailed it on the head, at least for me and my similar experience

Today is my first day on disulfiram im trying to save my marriage i hope this is at least the first step in the long process

Hello, I watched and enjoyed the video! Today is Monday Jan 20 2025. Your 24 hr. Story is all so familiar except to say it wasn’t 30 or so* beers but prolly 8-10 beers and taking up a 1/2 pint ( if I’m having a great day) or A pint of Canadian Mist, cheap ass whiskey’ish save me for the day bottle. I have been to 1 successful 28 day program( I say successful cause I actually lasted 28 days). Moving up now 17 years, I’m still here! Lucky to be alive, happy I put the bottle down ( whiskey), but still drinking beer . It might be 0 beers it might be 8. After many AA meetings and several failed attempts of rehab, I feel like I will never be truly sober.I I feel half ass great*? …. But I know that at some points I will only get worse. Thank you for your share ❤️. Tami B.

1:45 sound of the stream / everything is good from start on!!! 😁

Much respect! Thank you for sharing your journey and everything helps me a lot😊😊

Great Stream. Watching it just now! Awesome thank you Dwayne you are awesome i love your content and voice!

The comment is a bit confusing to me. It sounds like there flirting with the thought and identify they have a problem, but not yet committed fully to working a solution. It's an accomplishment to acknowledge that there is an issue, But difficult to find a working solution does take time.

Hey Bro, Sorry didn't make it. I'm trying to get my big projects completed before I take a trip to Missouri for my Birthday. Ended up doing a bit too much work and it put me outta commission for the day.

What is it going to do for me is make me feel better in the short-term in order to better hold it together long enough to spring back into a good enough spot to focus on stopping

Keep coming back One day at a time ❤

If u a drunk.get help loose u job wife etc

I found your interview with Daniel from VWA, because I was looking for where he went. And towards the end of the interview, you mentioned that you were having issues with the technology and you considered not coming back on here. Now look at you! High quality thumbnails and graphics. Salute to you for sticking to it. Props!

Where is bro at?? A lot of people care ! If you see this comment Daniel please let us know your ok we don’t care about any bs we are here for you sober or not brother ❤✌️🙏

The book refers to the time of the 50s etc. society was total different in fact, no comparison to what is going on now.😢 We have a new aa book which is compact.

Day 1 sober..and this sucks..the tremors are brutal. I tell myself every day "this is it" actually taking that first step. Getting to a meeting first thing in the morning

Wow ive never seen him before

Great vid thank you

Im on it for weightloss. Ironically, I think I think i had an addiction to sugar. Its supposed to essentially get you away from over eating, and it works for that purpose. For me, I only saw improvement for my mental health. The anti-depressant effects were something that I didn't know that I needed. So far I'm down 22 lbs, which is about a quarter the way to the ideal weight. It's only been a few weeks.

My sister is in late stage alcoholism. We've tried everything and she doesn't care. So i need to know from her perspective

Great video man, thank you. I hope this is helpful for you and others.

Makes me think, since you were in the military, "As you were". I needed this one bc i see people as they show me they are, but then i get angry about them being what they are.

This is so true. It's impossible to make deep connections when you're not entirely mentally and physically there

Great advice thanks 🙏🏻.

Bad mic cant hear it

I can't stop and im a unique alcoholic who only drinks between 11pm and 1am everyday for 12 years. You probably wonder how does that make an alcoholic you have a set time of day and time. Well I drink 1-2 pints EVERY single day always vodka. The next day for work or weekends off doesn't matter I spend the entire day anxious, shaky and sickly and I still keep going. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I tell myself this everyday and its been 12 years. I honestly hope I quit soon, but I dont know if I actually can

I was addicted to opioids for 15 years. I’ve been on 8 mg of seboxin for the past three years. My dad’s an alcoholic but booze was never my substance of choice…. Untill I quit pills. For the past three years I’ve been struggling and go in spurts where I drink a 40 ounce plus of vodka a day for months on end.I know I need to quit but it feels like my addictions are like playing whack a mole. I beet one down and the other pops up. I want to change… I’m gunna change. Hang in there everybody.

All of you out there staying sober keep up the fight I love you all

Hey I’d like to interview Daniel for my Chanel, is there a way I can get in contact with him?
