10 months no alcohol here after 17 years. Congrats brother. My takeaway from addiction is that people who never experienced that do not understand the vast mental swings and demons that takeover your mindset. 99% of my friends we're made at bars, I quit, now maybe have 2 friends. It takes time to recover and time to rebuild socially. Isolation can be extreme and it's important to have people around. I'm rooting for you 100% and here's to another 19 years!

Going on 4 years clean for me. Congrats my friend. Stay strong. I talked to a professor about my previous life when I was a drug addict and he mentioned he was an alcoholic years ago. He said addicts have a different perspective of life when they get clean because they know what it feels like to be dead inside and once you are clean you realize how beautiful life is and love every day. That resonated with me a lot.

Good on you Russell ! In my younger years I was addicted to alcohol. I needed alcohol to just function, I had a mum that was not meant to be a parent, she would come home after work and just start to scream, belt and verbally just take away our spirit. I learnt at an early age to take a drink of any liquor that was in the drink cabinet so I could feel no pain. So I became an alcoholic. I so wanted to stop drinking, but I thought if I did I would die . Then Easter 1999 changed my life. A professor that I knew noticed I was struggling and that I was a tortured soul, decided to help heal me . He invited me to his place Easter Friday and with his family they had a healing prayer for me, I have been alcohol free from that day. Amen 🙏 I have not been to any AA meetings and it feels like I have never had a problem. I thank the good Lord for saving me that day.

[@stephenmahlstedt7276]

Very inspiring, Russell. After 30 years of drinking, I finally realized that alcohol provides me with no benefits. I can, however, make a substantial list of the negative effects of alcohol on my body and spirit. Today is my 36th day since I’ve had a drop. Taking it one day at a time.

Good for you Russell! I haven't had any Alcohol in almost three years now. I stopped drinking when I realized that 99% of all bad decisions I'd made was after being under the influence of alcohol. Feels great to wake up in the morning never having a hangover. Tried weed, but never got hooked into using any drugs. I think one of the main problems with society today is the lack of community. I see people walk their dogs reading stuff on their phone, not actually being aware of the world. Others blindly go to work and acts as robots, not using their critical thinking ability and ignoring what their body and mind says. I'm in the process of going minimalistic by selling most of my belongings, and eventually moving onto a sailing boat with which I'm planning to be a net positive for the world ;) Cheers to you bro!

That's more intensive but considering what you're on...it may be necessary. Also, valerian root, passionflower, skullcap... All that works. Supplement with potassium, vitamin D C and B12. Magnesium is paramount. Eat better. Drink water. I know these sound like obvious things but most of us don't give them a good try. I was in pain management for only 6 months and it turned me into a raging junkie. After being introduced to kratom I quit going immediately.

I am 8 years clean and sober and I am so proud of myself and all those that have fought these demons, addiction and are living a successful recovery. Thank you Russell for having the courage to speak about your past and your bright future. I was severely injured in Afghanistan and subsequently prescribed painkillers during months and months of recovery and rehab. Through treatment, I realized that my youth led to my adulthood being predisposed to addiction and that I would have the fight of my life on my hands. As my life and family were being destroyed from the inside out, i reached the lowest point of my life and knew if I didn't change and get off these pills I would be broke and worse possibly dead. Through a strong support system and my determination to change my life, I've been slowly conquering my addiction and living my best life.

At one time, I would have considered myself in hard opposition to everything you stood for. That was before my enlightenment. I became a Trump populist, not because I was infatuated with giving my loyalty to a narcisistic billionaire, but because i trusted that he was the only true disrupter of politics as usual. He was not afraid to take on the corrupt system here in the states, but he was taken down by the oligarchy rather easily. I thought our last best hope was lost. I finally discovered your voice and was buoyed by your honesty and your ability to speak truth to power in a way the was truly inclusive. I feel honored to be one of the 2.4 million and I salute your 19 years of journey to self awareness. Brother, we need you. We need you on all sides of the political spectrum to bring us together to fight the current corrupt cabal.

CONGRATULATIONS Russel! A friend visited last week, a 53 year old mother of 3 children. She is a big fan of yours and saw you talking about recovery, it gave her the courage to admit she had an issue with alcohol. She studied your journey and applied it to her life, she went to AA, got a sponsor, a therapist, support from friends and family. This was a 2 years ago, and she had the courage to do it through the duress of lockdowns and madness in Australia. She held on and her life has changed dramatically. Your influence is far reaching Russell! Thank you!

July 17 1994 Alcohol was my primary choice. I never acknowledged I was addicted and alcoholic as well with a living deeper need for it, a sicker craving that kept bothering my work and marriage. It definitely wrecked me. So much about me that drove me to my knees one morning, figuritively but damn near physically, as I took my coffee outside before work one day...And I felt a spiritual moment like I had never ever had with Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, who spoke so many things with just his presence. I was moved. Inspired to be stronger, and my cravings were disappearing. I did lose my marriage and job, moved cross country, and even slipped in my recovery but since my sobriety date I can honestly say I would not change it for anything. WTG Russell and others. Self abuse is what it is. Be careful and stay sober + clean. Seasons Greetings! ❤🌲🌟
