[@weinerwagon6667]

The guilt and shame are so real! In my mind as an adult I thought I could manage the guilt and compartmentalize it all. It’s amazing how guilt and shame can eat you up inside no matter what age. Drinking is truly exhausting. Really enjoy your videos!

[@noelgibson5956]

Yes........when you wake up on Saturday morning - hungover - you rarely think you've just accomplished something wonderful or worthwhile. I always felt twenty years older, and like I'd just taken a week off my life expectancy. Alcohol is about the moment, not the tomorrow. That's what keeps people trapped.

[@pokellaa]

[@Rockyrockslost]

Have been watching quite a lot of your videos and it seems quite perfect to say that this is all a part of bad vibes and conditioning, A lot of thanks to people like you who bring the light and spark back in this world.Keep goin. 1 month sober, had tried a few things without the proper mindset and it didn't work. And now I sense that yes this is the kind of life I deserve.To everyone out there in a struggle, just keep going and don't let the substance consume you.

[@Incywincey]

Exactly how I feel. Constantly feeling guilty, full of shame every morning I drank the night before. 2 weeks today. Already feeling the benefits of not drinking. 😊

[@MJA5]

One thing I learned was that almost nothing is free. With drink you are renting a good time, the devil will be there to pick up his payment when the sun comes up. When the devil is punching you in the kidneys you just can't perform your best. Nothing is free except natural good feelings.

I went 8 weeks without drinking this year and was really starting to feel good, but I’ve been drinking nearly every day since then. I need to get back sober and stay that way. I know I can do it, I just need to finally realize drinking doesn’t have any benefits anymore. It just makes sitting on my ass fun and sitting on your ass does nothing for you.

[@floydsmithjr7999]

8 weeks is right around the time when you think “Theres no problem, Im good now” ands its right back over the cliff. Im on day 3 of my 4th attempt in the last 15 years. This is the worst part of the trip. Feeling dirty, lazy, stupid, bloated and irritated. From my experience theres no middle ground, no “social” drinker, no “weekend warrior” no “only on the holidays” drinker. You have to make a decision, am I a non drinker or am I an alcoholic? The choice is yours. I don’t care what anybody tells you, it’s either one or the other and one of them WILL kill you. Anyone who says they can handle it is either very dumb or very dishonest.

[@johnayala2540]

This is my first time to watch this channel and I'm so happy to have found it. I don't even know how I found this channel but when I click KZbin, this channel was already playing. A divine intervention perhaps? I don't know how it happened but I'm glad it did. I subscribed right away and shared it to my family and friends who are also suffering from alcoholism. I have stopped drinking because I can't look at myself in the mirror without feeling disgusted of the reflection looking back at me. I have no inhibition when I was drunk and as a result I slept with many people and I woke up in the morning wanted to kick them out and never want to see them again. Because of sexual intimacy some of them got an emotional attachment while I didn't share the same feelings with them but in few occasions I felt attached with some of them but they didn't want a deeper relationship other than casual sex. I felt filthy inside. As Christian, I believe that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and I didn't want to invite the Holy Spirit because I was so filthy to the core...not just loaded with alcohol but by being very promiscuous, I felt shame and disgusted with myself. It was so degrading to be treated like a sex object. I realized that I have to clean up my morals and body so I can invite the Holy Spirit to its temple.

Watching your videos, you've not only taught me about alcohol but you've made me realise other things as well. I have a friend that I've always had such a great time with because he always had drugs and alcohol for us, so it was always a party. And that's honestly the only reason I'd hang out with him. But I've just had a thought: take away those substances and there's nothing there. We'd have nothing to do and nothing to talk about. He wouldn't be much of an actual friend. So thanks, Leon, you've made me realise that I need to reevaluate some friendships! Regards (Charly from South Africa)

[@joycelatham6974]

Thanks Leon. I was not at ground zero. When my husband retired, I started a habit of one beer at 4 o’clock , which lead to two. I was ok with that, sort of. When it went to three... the shame and quilt happened. Who was I becoming. I read a book or two on quilting alcohol. Quit for two years. Sucked in by social pressure and thinking I could have just two. Started again , more quilt and shame. Made up my mind I was, as you say “all in” and I’m staying there because.... come on, an alcoholic drink is very unhealthy for you. I also don’t smoke or drink sofa drinks... because they are super unhealthy for you. I’m telling you. I feel so good about my decisions these days, I actually feel like I’m floating on air some mornings. E V E R Y thing you say, I can relate to. Keep up the good work and I hope people will join your program and free themselves.quilt and shame were my main reasons for quitting.

Im at ground zero right now, luckily I have managed to not completely F myself. I relate to what you said, theres things I want to do and none of them are going to happen unless I stop drinking, even just 3 beers on a Saturday night, IT DOESNT WORK! Im so physically beat down and lacking energy right now all I can do is watch TV. Im not depressed, I have nothing to be depressed about at the moment, its the physical feeling of depression with no reason for it, its the alcohol, and yes kids, even after a week of not drinking that feeling of depression still lingers. Be careful what you play with.

[@kevinwright4452]

It feels so good to wake up without being hungover. Feeling good is a trigger unfortunately.

[@brianledezma1922]

I have found that as a former drinker myself, reason why people get into drinking is because of the lack of things to do in one’s life in other words, if you are geographically isolated in a city where there is not much to do but drink in a bar like for example places in Wisconsin, and most of your friendships and most of everything that you will do after work will revolve around drinking. So I would say they cure at least for me, what’s the find hobbies to replace my urge for drinking. Except that if you find something else to replace drinking with just like you highlighted in your video, you well feel that was good endorphins kick in for much longer than if you just continuously go to a bar and order alcohol to keep feeling that good kick.

[@mariomoreno1199]

I started taking Revia (Naltrexone) it's not a cure medicine but it's slowly getting me off alcohol. Where I would only strictly drink Vodka or anything 40% now I'm down to the 8% alcohols. In my world that was a huge improvement. I'm at a point where I'm about to stop because I don't crave it as much or enjoy it as much because of the Naltrexone. Of course support from family plays a big role. Good luck guys we can do this.

My experience was slighty different. Yes I experienced all of these but I was suffering under the delusion that I had a handle on it because I was an intermittant drinker. I could leave it behind for long periods of time but it dawned on me I would only end one cycle when I way over did it. Trips to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack and the fact that it took years to realize that my digestive health was declining from it were what led me to choosing a better life.

[@norautais11]

It's about willpower and mindset, to quit this bad habit. If you have already other addictions in your life it will be more harder to stop drinking. You need to analyse how you start to use alcohol and the reason why you keep using it to this day. Usually it's starting to have a good times with friends, but growing to be a habit/part of your lifestyle. Don't be scared to lose some friendships due to the fact that you trying to help yourself. I personally quit drinking, because I have seen how alcohol was ruined so many people lifes who was close to me, and didn't want to end up like them. That was the biggest reason. Also, from partying every weekend and having fun, I started to drink till I blackout and usually was getting involved in fighting with someone. What next day couldn't even remember. Everyone's story is different but as long you trying to help yourself get back on track, sooner or later your life will get better. Stay strong friends and keep alcohol free.

And it’s really a problem when you start blacking out and blackouts become the norm to the point where you don’t remember what you did the night before or even how you got home. But I believe the idea that you’re not allowed to have a drink even socially is a misconception. After all life is about enjoying everything it has to offer in moderation.

This is where you can see the difference between physical and mental dependency. Because while it feels like you have control only doing it once a week, the fact that it’s still a crutch means that you are mentally fixated on it. It also usually ends up snowballing into a bigger issue if, like me, you have an addictive personality

[@adamklase8547]

@@rexstil Ya i should have an addictive personality and maybe I do but I hardly see it. I laid off the booze to thin up since Covid got me gaining weight. Haven't had a drink in about 6 wks or so. Haven't rly thought about it which I hear is a good sign. But my alcoholic dad always said some alcoholics like him can usually stop cold turkey.. it's when you have one you can't stop.

Everything this man is saying resonates smh

[@michaelmorse4405]

I don't believe it's a desease, for me it's a addictive personality disorder. I will get addicted to anything that makes me feel good and anything that gives me a sense of purpose like work.

Good content Leon..but your speed of speaking will only be understood by people from UK.

[@zanym8088]

I understand him.. American here. he does speak quickly, though. oh, and I was born in England lol

[@zanym8088]

lol.. when I set this to 0.75 it sounds fast. 0.5 makes him slur and sound drunk. definitely has ENERGY

[@july9566]

Eh I can understand

[@jokarr9349]

I’m American, in Virginia and I understand him fine.

[@mrmaxaxl]

You have a funny accent. You should be a comedian :-D. Maybe tell some funny stories about you drinking way too much.

[@LDW12887]

Sounds like shit, i better keep drinking and ruin my life

[@silow1474]

This guy was never a drinker

[@vangervanger6866]

[@gregkearney3537]

Very helpful but you must stop speaking so quickly. So much nuance is lost.

[@TheThesalsalady173]

You talk too fast

[@brittanykateevans]

I like the speed of his speech. Perhaps you hear too slow 😉
