10 Things That Can Ruin Your Sobriety

[@stupensardi2783]

Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I am now 9 weeks sober. Your advice has helped so much already. My GP who didn't know how to help me anymore about my daily intense panic attacks at the time, about 10 years ago said.,"well why don't you try a glass of wine", so I did. One didn't help so I tried two...that didn't help...well I think you know where I ended... alcohol addicted WITH panic attacks. BUT I made a change all by myself. 9 weeks sober now and feeling much better ❤

My setbacks was hanging out with people who drink despite them advising me to stop-not their fault. Walking on the nearby trail, I met all my drinking friends there. Chronic pain and the CRAVINGS are so strong i can almost taste it and had bitten my lip bloody raw. Beer kills my pain but it'll come back 10-fold. Just seeing drinking on tv or movies will trigger me badly. How lame is that? Withdrawals. Shaking so violently it's hard to do anything or even open a door to get home. The rage the absolute rage, PTSD, etc. Night terrors. Thanks for your information.

We have a good restaurant in the area where I live. It's one of those where they don't serve alcohol; you have to bring your own bottle. The first time I was there (no bottle mind you) I took a look around at the other guests and not one single person was drinking alcohol. It's now my favorite restaurant.

Thanks. So thorough and clear. Just what I needed to hear. I've been slip sliding lately and working on myself toward freedom again.

Thank you so much Simon, we just completed 2 months sobriety. Can you do a video on mental health and alcoholism? It’s known that 50% of alcoholics also have a mental health issue. My friend was diagnosed as bipolar 1 and never had any clues because he was self-medicating. Thank you so much and let’s beat this disease!

Thank you so much. You are so inspiring I find Diet Pepsi helps me not drink when I’m socializing. All my friends drink. Challenging but I cannot drink. It’s ruining my life. One day at a time Thank you for all your videos !

Diet Pepsi is poison

- Regarding the places you visit - I agree, but the problem is, that for the past 8 years I have been drinking with my coworkers every other night. Sometimes having first drinks in the early afternoon. Almost every person in my family, friends and coworkers is a person I usually drink with or got drunk with regularly - my social network is a problem for me. And I dont enjoy hanging out with most of them when I am sober but they are not. Guess I am screwed and/or up for lonely few months ahead.

I had (past tense, thankfully) a friend who was absolutely horrified when I suggested she come out for a night with me and NOT drink. Just one night of about 3-4 hours max. She said she deserved a drink on her night out.

Thanks once again! The emotion wheel was a great revelation

100 days since last drink. Not a big drinker but Friday and Saturday habits. I’m already sitting here thinking of Negronis in the sun on holiday. Terrible really. Great video Thankyou.

[@Tatted_queen93]

It’s funny about that I thought that too and they say that stay away from alcohol when you first began and the thing about it is actually it made me not wanna drink watching my family drink and get drunk at the bowling alley last week and then I was drinking sprite it actually influenced me going look at them. I don’t want that to be my future cause they’re like 15 years older than me.

Great video Thanks

I'd say the top two are 1. A GF/BF leaving you, or your parents passing, and 2. Having a beer because it's kind of expected, of course everybody knows that it's the first drink that gets you drunk, but yeah, false self confidence, I can have one beer and then no more, doesn't work

[@Andromeda_M31]

Every time I binge drank was when a pet died. I would go years not drinking them fly off the deep end when my pets died. I blamed myself.

[@caylee3277]

Hey I've been 7 months sober and I'm sick of drinking water and sodas, I don't have any cravings to drink but I want something refreshing especially on hot days after doing yard work, I'm skeptical on getting alcohol free beer, do you have something else that you can recommend? Thank you

[@burn1gotbeats]

Kombucha tea is a good replacement if you can find the right flavor for your taste buds a company called BREW Dr. makes some good stuff.

[@caylee3277]

@@burn1gotbeats thank you, I'll check it out

[@AP-nx6xo]

Congrats. I would stay clear of non alcohol beer just in case the taste of it triggers a craving . Good goin!!

[@burn1gotbeats]

@@caylee3277 awsome… well stay strong 💪🏾.

[@PoodleParti]

Ginger ale (it's not ale), white Monster, Kombucha, lemon water, Yerba mate, decaf mocha. Those are my favorites.
