One of my favorite videos thank you for sharing I was an alcoholic past 9 years ago and I cannot tell you enough the harm to you to your body to your family to your love ones to your soul to your spirit The word “Alcohol” comes from the Arabic “al-kuhl” which means “BODY EATING SPIRIT”, and gives root origins to the English term for “ghoul”. In Middle Eastern folklore, a “ghoul” is an evil demon thought to eat human bodies, either as stolen corpses or as children. The words “alembic” and “alcohol”, both metaphors for aqua vitae or “life water” and “spirit”, often refer to a distilled liquid that came from magical explorations in Middle Eastern alchemy.🙏🙏💯💯🔱🔱🧿🧿

Thank you for your comment, and huge congratulations on your sobriety! The combination of root words is a powerful offering, but I think the entomologies of "alcohol" and "ghoul" are not accurate. Both words have Arabic roots, but come from different words in Arabic: "al-kuhul" and "ghul." * "Alcohol" came to be associated with the liquid in the 1540s (early 15c. as alcofol), "fine powder produced by sublimation," from Medieval Latin alcohol "powdered ore of antimony," from Arabic al-kuhul "kohl," the fine metallic powder used to darken the eyelids, from kahala "to stain, paint." The al- is the Arabic definite article, "the." Paracelsus (1493-1541) used the word to refer to a fine powder but also a volatile liquid. By 1670s it was being used in English for "any sublimated substance, the pure spirit of anything," including liquids. "Ghoul" comes from Arabic ghul, an evil spirit that robs graves and feeds on corpses, from ghala "he seized." * Credit -- The fantastic site Etymonline for their research.

I'm 13 months sober. I was a yes on all 11 questions, and the idea of 5 drinks constituting a binge struck me as faintly comedic - 5 drinks was a warm-up! 400-ish aa meetings & 12 steps later, I look 15 years younger, no longer hate myself and look forward to playing my guitar 🎸, seeing my girlfriend, making myself useful, hanging with other sober members and helping still suffering alcoholics. In contrast, a year-and-a-bit ago, I was looking forward to having the unbearable hassle of being alive taken away by continuing to drink, because I could envision no other future.

I started binging at about 24. I knew right off hand this needed to be a weekend only thing and I stuck to that. Still, drinking fairly heavy twice a week started taking it's toll and it was hard to quit. I quit for certain spans of time like when I got married but would slip back into it for a few years at a time. A few things changed; I no longer got hangovers and wouldn't ever get sick even if I drank way too much. I could drink like a fish but couldn't get that buzzed feeling anymore, instead I would pass out if I had too much. All the fun was gone. I had been praying that I could quit and God heard my prayers. He has a sense of humor you know. I crashed my mountain bike (not while drunk) impaled my leg and thought I was bleeding out. In the ER the doctors said my enzymes were high and asked if I drank. I otherwise wouldn't have known that. The good Lord got my attention about drinking and life in general ... I regret all the wasted time but glad nothing worse came from it.

I consider a binge drinker as one who goes out once in a while and really ties one on. Maybe this happens now and then when he or she goes out with friends bar hopping and such. There are no cravings involved. To me, if you start craving alcohol every 5 days or so, and you generally give in to those cravings and get toasted, then you're an alcoholic. If you drink every day and get up in the morning after drinking and start again, then you're a RAGING alcoholic.

Okay. What if I do not drink to get drunk or to get a buzz? I exercise the discipline and willpower to drink only 1 shot of single malt Scotch whiskey daily for its scientifically proven health benefits? Would you agree that this is the best "healthy moderation"?

I drank an 18 pack of natural light cans 16 consecutive days per month for 3 and a half years. The other 14 days per month were my prescribed adderall days. Got away with it for 3 years and 3 months but the final 3 months i very abruptly stopped getting away with it. Turned on me big time. Im committed to never drinking again. Ever. I accept that sometimes i have failed on that but i then try harder each time. Have been doing great for 2 months

Okay, seek professional help. Right. That costs lots of money IF you can even find a professional who can take you on. There is no money for help and AA isn't much help; it even turns some off and leaves them to drink even more for the failure.

Thanks, these are some good reminders, there’s no question that increasing your mental clarity and boosting your drive, comes with quitting. Yes, there are many ways to kick the habit, Steffon Barkload's approach is what worked for me, best shortcut I go’ogled that took days without withdrawal.

You can drink a gallon of whiskey every day for the rest of your life and you will never break my record. I retired from all forms of alcohol 7 years ago so that there would be enough booze left for you to drink. So drink heartily my friend; I will stay in the Sober lane for the rest of my life.
