Alcohol and Anxiety - The Truth About Severe Anxiety And Alcohol Abuse

[@TheMetalhead678]

Alcohol helps my anxiety temporarily, then makes it 10x worse the next few days afterwards. It's a toxic relief that is only temporary and makes things MUCH worse in the longrun. It's a horrible habit to get into, I've lost friends, I even lost a relationship. I'm alone because of my mistake, because people couldn't deal with me anymore. I can't really blame them, if I put my self in their position I'm sure it wouldn't be easy dealing with a reckless drunken mess like me.

[@mikeborchman7749]

TheMetalhead678 in in the same boat man

[@Razzy1312]

Yep. I get severe anxiety at night before sleep and have been using alcohol as a depressant to get to sleep for about 10 years. Only now am I starting to realize that it's making my anxiety during the daytime worse and worse.

[@thedude8494]

yeah me too lost friends gfs good jobs car license and self respect all thru booze im quiting forever starting today

[@tactics-mnk6084]

Same here, friends gone, gf gone, license gone. Been sober for half a year. But you shouldn’t be too tough on yourself, alcohol is a bitch addiction. People around you tend to feel helpless because they are. It’s your fight and your fight alone. It’s possible to change your perspective on it, but it’s tough. It’s about proving to yourself that you can get through bad situations and feelings without it. But ye, that shit takes time. My advice is don’t be too hard on yourself when you relapse, just pick it again and be proud of your dryness atm😅

[@KennyInVegas]

I QUIT YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tps1020]

I am 5 days sober and it's already starting. By that I mean getting stronger physically, emotionally, and intellectually. I hate this poison and let it control me when I am damn sure that the greatest chance at happiness lies without it. Depression starts to lessen without booze to fuel it. I have great respect for those that stay sober and they deserve it.

[@peterbentley5184]

are you still sober ? im sober 15 months now .....

[@BexnRN]

Holy. Crap. The statement “nobody thinks about me as much as I do” made me fall out of my chair laughing!!! Like DUH. I’ll have to remind myself of that hourly from here on. I used to be painfully self-conscious in my teens. Now it’s evolved into “just not as ‘good’ as everyone else.” Like WHO??!? Who else?? Who is everyone? Thank you so much. Hearing that statement was liberating.

[@EMMASHVILI]

Marcus, you sound like a "professional" AA circuit speaker, you had my attention 100%, good job !!

[@thomashugus5686]

Anxiety all my life since early childhood! Avoided all social situations and when older self medicating with alcohol and other drugs. Since quitting alcohol for 41 days I definitely feel more in control and anxiety has lessened somewhat! Thanks for your great presentation. I think it can help other people in my situation!

[@minnie3339]

Wow thank you for this ! My anxiety gets so bad I feel like vomiting , then I drink and really do end up vomiting. It’s a viscous cycle ! I literally paused the video at like 15:00 to subscribe to this channel because your breakdown of not living in the present and worrying about things that haven’t happened yet spoke so loudly to me . It’s so true that I’m almost mad at myself that I didn’t realize it... Thank you for what you do and I hope everyone reading this is getting better !

[@kentyiluminada7676]

OMWtoRighteousness &Glory yea and unfortunately if you notice when alcohol first start hitting your bloodstream or it gets to your head it gives you this feeling of presence and focus, that’s why a lot of anxiety sufferers unfortunately go to alcohol, the brain remembers this feeling and that’s why we go back to it we’re already trained

[@BJammin299]

At 14:00 is something I want to remind myself. I think most of my anxiety is nervousness about what others think about me. Then I come home and realize that no one really cared. I’m recently sober.

[@astraldrifter]

A bit late now but do you still have anxiety?

[@lucaschweitzer1301]

This video was so comforting to watch man. I’ve been dealing with social/general anxiety since my early teenage years and eventually started drinking about 2 years ago to deal with it and still am unfortunately. In the past 3 months I went from being able to comfortably go to work and be out in public to a complete state of utter panic at all times even while alone at my house without alcohol. This perfectly describes everything.

[@marksmith9090]

Makes perfect sense! I have been in and out of rehab for 11 years, and never heard any counsellor explain to me just why I have that eternal feeling of doom! To walk around all day with that feeling is a hell I wouldn’t wish on anyone. The few hours sleep I get are the only release. Thank-you, Marcus! At present am struggling to get sober for any length of time and have still have some major crap in my life, so I think that giving up the booze will be hard! But I have learned something very valuable in your video.

[@usefulramblings7398]

You've saved lives with these videos. I admire you. Keep up the good work and know that you're really helping people.

[@AriposaMakeup]

This really helped me a lot... dealing with this now and dad dealt with it his whole life.. very helpful

[@andypandy4078]

Thank you very much for this video - I’ve struggled with the alcohol anxiety cycle for years - I’m now 4 days sober and thinking if there had only been the internet to learn about such things when it all started going wrong with alcohol in my youth.

[@andypandy4078]

Just a follow up - npw I'm 2 and a half years sober and no longer even get the craving feelings when I'm in a supermarket and see the alcohol aisle. You can do it too. I was already in my 50s when I finally became abstinent. I'd lost many friends, girlfriends and, decades of my life and vast amounts of money to booze, For those friends who stayed and put up with my ridiculous behaviour when I was drunk thank you for doing that.

[@bobtodd6163]

I find myself drinking more now in the evening to help me relax, I hate that feeling in the morning when your high from the night before feels like a crushing low. I am going to stop and I am finding these videos very helpful. Good luck to everyone who feels like I do and is determined to change. Peace and love.

[@stanmarshall3243]

Thank you 🙏 this helps me a lot. I used alcohol to overcome the fear that i feel (anxiety) but now I’m 6 days sober and Im gonna keep on going

[@ballin-4687]

This video was extremely helpful. I feel so much relief when you said 99% of anxiety is fake and whatever the situation that’s making you anxious (future situations) you cannot control. That along with numerous other things you stated gives me so much relief and inner peace. 🙏🏼

[@mspencerl87]

I watched this over 90 days ago in active addiction. When you first said the word anxiety i had my first anxiety attack in years. I never thought it would get better. The false realities we create in our minds are insane. Alcohol multiplies these thoughts. If you even have the idea you might be an alcoholic and its not too late for you make an AA meeting or seek help from a rehab/detox! ASAP!

[@paulflint6254]

thanks for the video, im still sober, but im not anxious anymore, no bad thoughts and a clear mind its such a relief, as it plagued me for years.

[@zoe4real]

Wow..i feel way better after watching this. When anxiety hits, I will remember that none of the toughts that come in mind are real, I will enjoy the present moments and accept that I cant have control over the future..and I will put it in practice on a day to day basis. Thank you so so so much. Cant believe this information is free. Stay blessed. Subscribed.

[@dawnbroker5156]

zoe 4real you got anxiety and panic attacks from alcohol?

[@pinabarryscott]

W need to get to the root of the problem. Anxiety is increased with abuse of alcohol consumption. We all have to face life ups and down every day, turn to God instead of alcohol. It takes a strong person to overcome drugs and alcohol, with God in your life you get your strength. When we use drugs and alcohol it causes long term dependency and more problems.

[@Greenriver842]

I just quit drinking a few days and now i discovered your chanel, great info. Big Thanks 👍

[@RiskyBRiskyB]

Marcus, I found this video over a year ago, and I thought it was good but it didn't resonate. I stumbled upon it again after a tumultuous time in my life and I'm absolutely floored by this. This is unbelievable! I feel like a found a giant treasure chest ful of riches that was in plain sight and I have been walking by everyday for my whole life without noticing. It was right there in front of me! All of this makes so much sense! I am going to try and watch this video everyday for a few weeks and try and learn as much as I can from it.

[@fluberchuberayy2479]

I don’t have the words to tell you how helpful your video is, and what you outlined is exactly the reason(s) that I stopped drinking. Thank you.

[@1369brandon]

This is probably the best video I've ever seen, you perfectly described exactly what I'm going through. Thank you so much!

[@davidnorman2134]

thanks for this video, I've dealt or lived with anxiety for most of my life, and I use to find that drinking seemed to quiet my mind down enough where I could honestly and genuinely follow another persons conversation, alcohol helped me get relief from my anxiety but like your description there came a point where it was hurting me more than helping i

[@connyschaible5680]

Wow, This makes so much sense. I'm dealing with anxiety and alcohol in my boyfriend. I am here to seek a clearer understanding.

[@christschinwon]

I know for a fact I feel better on the days when I tell myself "no more, that's it". But I still slip & do it all over again. If anything it proves this thing CAN be beat with mental strength. Thanks again for addressing it because anything that provokes realization is a massive help!

[@Jhonny_blaze777]

Man I think you just saved my life. I will try. Thank you

[@grimlund]

I remember when I was about 20-23 years old. I never had anxiety the day after I drank. You laughed about the stupid thinks you don the last night. You watch a movie and ordered a pizza or something. Sometimes you felt ill because of the hangover but no more then that. Today I feel like shit mentaly only after one day or night of drinking. I´m almost impressed how much the alcohol trashes my brain. Its sick.

[@VanAngelic]

Think about the feeling compounding every day, year after year. I am glad you didn't submit yourself to that

[@nez9751]

I’m commenting on this but haven’t actually watched it yet. Let me tell you alcohol in the worst drug out there and partly as it’s legal. , it’s the best and worst friend you will ever have. It relieves anxiety and then feeds it. From experience when you stop drinking you will go into that dark dark place, I check in there around. 3am every day, it can be constant but normally starts in the early hours when your body wakes you up begging for a drink, every issue is a problem , every problem is a crisis, every crisis in unbearable , and anything unbearable results in a headline. Been there, still there sometimes, but I will win . Eventually I’m subscribing either way Excessive Alcohol does definitely create anxiety which creates depression which creates panic , I’m plagued by these issues, I don’t want any sympathy for it but it does exist . Anxiety, depression, panic are part of a roundabout that you ride until you get off, eg, stop drinking, then it gets worse and is hellish at best. Then gets better and it’s the best feeling in the world

[@SamsaLilaTheHobo]

I've been watching a lot of videos on alcohol the past few months, but this is the best articulated and easiest to listen to out of all of them. I really enjoy what you're saying and how you are saying it. Subscribed!

Never were a constant drinker beforehand until I got full blown panic attacks and a anxiety disorder to manage the symptoms.. I do not want to live like this anymore and to be honest, I'm sick of drinking. I know this is a old post but it will nice to know how you overcame it.

Thanks for the video. Very insightful and helpful. You are correct in your assertion that anxiety is not real but is in our head, Many worries we have never manifest, hence wasted energy and needless angst with retrospective reflection.

Thank you for this video! I've been off alcohol for 6 months, God willing, tomorrow and been feeling very anxious about my situation. The "what ifs" come about as I don't know where I will reside after sober living. I'm going to work on reminding myself that it is not real and that my mind is playing tricks on me to scare me. It's going to take daily practice, but one day will overcome my anxiety/fear. ***I've been wanting to drink to calm myself and would have forfeited my sobriety and the work I've accomplished. This is a journey and need to take this one day, minute, second at a time. :')

Its very rare that I ve seen a speaker at an AA meeting who has not used the word anxiety. Great advice about staying in the current I ve learned quite a bit about my alcoholism and mental illness by listening to the wisdom of Dr Gabor Mate.

[@evelynbaron2004]

Thank you so much Marcus, this was like a great AA meeting; I'm a bit stuck because I broke my leg so definitely found the right place. In the words of the late great Tom Petty, "most things I worry about, never happen anyway', bless him. And you. Sober 5 yrs and gratitude list every day. Just one more point because I don't want people to rush into recovery without protection; get a physical. I don't know any alcoholic who doesn't suffer from hypoglycemia - low blood sugar as you know -- which will trigger the jitters so eat healthy. I know old timers in the program who think I'm full of it but I stopped caffeine and desserts and as soon as I was able got back to my responsibilities -- I was lucky that someone took my beloved dog out during that period but now it's a joy and a privilege to brave the elements (in Canada I mean that literally) together with my tiny dancer who thinks she's Northern Dancer and her optimism and joy never fails to cheer me up. Tx again my friend!

Im going through that at the moment too. I was so blind, had a hunch it was the booze but never thought it was the route of the problem until i stopped drinking for a couple weeks and to my surprise i slowly started feeling better. I wouldn't wish anxiety on my worst enemy, not only does it get you down and turns your brain inside out but it can cause so many health problems and go so far to heart attacks but it can get so out of control people end up killing themselves or others. Ive had help by talking to people, taking CBD oil and quitting the booze. If i didnt do those things id probably not be here. The mind is the most powerful part of the body.. dont waste it.

Thanks Marcus for your video. I have been self medicating with alcohol for anxiety for a long time. Your video helped me to recognize this cycle.

I can see your point of view of not being able to control the everyday situations you're in, and how that can cause anxiety, but for those of us who have anxiety from past experiences, and not present/future experiences, it just does not make sense to me. I have issues with forgiving myself for things I have done in the past and because of that, I cannot help but dwell on those horrible memories every single day, all day. Almost to the point where I'm not concerned about my future, and only concerned about forgetting the past. No matter what I do, these thoughts always come back.

Really dig these videos, thanks, I have been gathering wisdom as you call if from a multiple of resources and I would say I am more confident in my ability to quit by shining light on how bad it could progress to, even if it's just or mainly because it is changing your brain chemistry, so figured best thing for me is to just nerd up, stop drinking firstly (on 2nd day after binder), and going to hang out with some AA's later, kind of looking forward to it, learning seems to give a lot more power then all the labeling I used to do about myself and my past and genetics, like all that's probably true, but that doesn't do shit for that brain reaction, so I figure focus on the brain, I like my chances, cool info. I like how I made this all about me....however I guess that's what you asked for haha, keep making them, and I will keep watching them.
