Facts....ive been a fan of Steve O since I was like 5 years old lol....when he got sober I felt happy for him. It honestly helped me with my own choices in life. Wasn't Steve-o deep but I always told myself if a guy like Steve-o can quit I definitely have to if I know it's an issue

His whole thing about losing his image is GONNA happen, he's right. He has to come up with some ACTUAL character and see if people like his actual personality.

[@adrianflo6481]

​@Wordsmith 430 "Alcoholism is, broadly, any drinking of alcohol that results in significant mental or physical health problems" You can be an alcoholic and only drink once a year. You can be a college student and drink 3x a week and not be one. Abuse is not how much or its effect but the mentality of the user and the reason behind using. What you mention is called physical dependence. There is also mental dependence aka situational dependence. These terms are separate from abuse and addiction.

[@sweetlilhifi]

@Wordsmith 430 lots of definitions of alcoholism. I personally was an everyday drinker but I know people that totally function and don’t drink as often but when they do there are bad repercussions. I’m not judging or trying to give you or him shit but I hope if he needs help he gets it. But to forgo health/living your best life because of “branding” is so dumb to me. Again though, not in his shoes. Hope he does what’s right for him.

[@adrianflo6481]

@@wiggitywhitefox you don't seem to understand the mentally of someone who abuses. There isn't a precise definition of alcoholism but one could agree that it's abuse, overuse or misuse. Tho you might define it as "physical dependency on gaba through fermented carbohydrates" (compared to the exact same affliction based on Xanax or gabapentin) I can speek from own experience than any ammount of alcohol that enters my body does so in misuse or abuse. Even tho I only drink once or twice a year. Abuse is a state of mentality. You can abuse work, relationships, sex and training. Alcoholism is loosely defined as any alcohol consumption that causes harm. Its not defined how much or physical dependency. Alcoholism is not the same as addiction. But they are very often correlated. Question: would you call me an alcoholic after a week at Sweden rock festival and having lucid dreams and shakes for 4 days after ?

@@mftoeless1687 Weed is generally, for most people, A LOT less destructive than alcohol. Though weed addiction is real and can significantly damage peoples lives. Mainly relying on weed for any happiness and just being fine watching tv all day, basically being allowed to feel ok whilst stagnating = leads to future regrets. Also, it can lead to worsened mental health for some people, though better mental health for others, so it is all personal really. Joey Diaz smokes weed a lot after quitting, I think it is fine for most people but just be wary of its negatives. A lot of weed smokers are in a cult really who think it is amazing for everyone and has no negatives, but it can.

Weed can be very deceptive, as it doesn't completely destroy your life like a lot of other drugs, but it blinds you from seeing how much it is holding you back in many ways. I don't know anyone who has quit weed and have not had their life improve because of it.

[@jasonolinger7585]

The hardest thing about quitting alcohol is that you may have to get a new social circle and that means having no friends for a while which can be very depressing and lonely for a period of time but if you stick with it long enough you will find other things that do not involve alcohol and better meaningful relationships, it's so much better but i get why it is so hard for people at first. For me, i had to get comfortable with just being by myself for several years until i found other things to obsess on that were giving me a major payoff in return and better friendships too.

There is always this massive symbolic double edged sword in most alcoholics lives. For me and most others, it would probably be that alcohol causes anxiety, but if you don't drink it, you also achieve anxiety. Bert definitely gets this also, but his fate is much more tragic because his entire career is built around being this shirtless party guy. The worst thing a comedian can do is typecast themselves and he is so deep into that character, that he will always be more tempted to go back to drinking than you or I. His character bought him a beautiful life and he probably feels like it would be selfish for his families financial success to quit drinking. He is that deep.

wow ber actually looks like he's paying attention

[@lukethornton1744]

I’m currently an alcoholic, 12 deep at 6am cause I woke up at 1pm and decided to wait a bit before getting one on today. The comments are 100% right at least for my experience. I tell myself I’m gonna quit every day and end up waking up and grabbing a beer two hours after I open my eyes. I hope he gets better, don’t wanna see Bert go down the same rode as hedberg but just with a different substance

[@calvinrivera49]

Do it slowly. And talk to someone about the shit that's hurting you.. Be real not with the person listening to you, but be real to yourself, the person listening is just there to reflect. If it's over some drinks, cool, just don't drink your feelings & getting wasted where you are incoherent in talking about your feelings but use it if you have to, to get that shit that's buried deep in you that can't get out when you're sober, and go from there

[@MrInteg92gsr]

You're currently a champ. Don't quit.

[@JackWillistone1993]

You recognize you have a problem. That's the most important step. I'm at 34 days still struggling but it's totally worth it.

Watch his special The Machine. It's excellent.

You can also watch his show The Cabin on Netflix!

Bert sounds like he’s already convinced himself. I bet he’d be hyper productive if he quit drinking.

@Wordsmith 430 ask Bert? How the fuck should I know his productivity level if the guy stopped drinking. I’m just speculating

[@lucadotti2928]

[@TheTsunamijuan]

One of the best things about Bert, is that he an all in guy. You know if he is talking about something, he is genuine. So I am sure if get decided to stop drinking it wouldn't change anything, cause I doubt its going to change his enthusiasm for the things he does and shares with his fans.

[@garbougesenior3486]

Lol we can hear it in your voice Bert that you been going hard this morning

[@MattD1911]

I think the longest I've gone without a drink in 9 yrs is maybe a month. The longest stretch of getting drunk pretty much everyday is about a month. Been to points over the years of borrowing money to drink. Planning days around drinking. Avoiding activities to drink. Then there's this feeling or sense (false sense maybe) that I honestly could stop making it apart of my life, that it's not "controlling" me compared to what I believea to be "true" alcoholics. I want to stop for the health benefits then again at times, I don't.

[@MaulerMyers]

Spent most of my 20s drinking (3 nights a week?). Never had a problem with it, just social partying ....etc. When my son came along at 28 I just stopped partying so much and I don't drink alone (wife doesn't drink) so I don't drink. Just showing that even though I was getting smashed out drunk 3 times a week it was only ever social. I never suffered any physical long term withdrawals (not counting hangovers - there were plenty of those) or mental ones. Lets not say "you can have a drinking problem without being an alcoholic" because all you are doing there is softening the language. If you are unable to resist drinking - you are an alcoholic. Be it physical or mental dependency - it is still a dependency on a substance.

[@zacharyradford5552]

Berts like a bottle of wine and a mixed drink with Xanax at night kinda guy. Not to mention the gallon of Kool-aid a day he drinks!!

[@karlosgerardogarciaplyler5908]

I don’t think this is fully acurate you can absolutely have a drinking problem and not be a alcoholic I don’t drink often but I absolutely have a drinking problem anytime I drink I drink until I pass out or black out I only drink socially but I stopped beacuse of that I can stop myself of any substances without any real problem except for alcohol and coke
