I’VE HIT ROCK BOTTOM. ALCOHOL HAS DESTROYED MY LIFE

I’ve been a super heavy drinker since my teens. I’ve almost lost my job, I’ve lost my fiancée, and I’m going to college full time and support my two kids as a single dad. Enough is TOO MUCH! It’s time to stop the booze for good! Join me in a journey to sobriety!

[@jimridge2503]

Thankyou for sharing your story... I mirror many things about you. You look and sound very exhausted from your lifestyle. Instead of doing things that make us feel better, we take a short cut and drink again to do this. unfortunately drinking doesn't make us feel better anymore short term or long term . Good on you from trying to overcome your poison, instead of giving up on life.

Good job man! I watched this on my 22nd day of no drinking. I told myself no more drinks when I turned 40 so here we go! I hope you are holding strong! WE can do this!!

[@grahamherbert3612]

I had twenty one clinical detoxes, six visits to psychiatric hospitals, twelve arrests, two divorces, and lost nine jobs. My drinking was punctuated with people in uniform. Police, Nurses, Security Staff, and even members of the Fire Service. I've recently celebrated fourteen years sobriety, working a program of Rational Recovery.

[@royalsaint117]

I've hit my rock bottom, once I realized the scope of the damage I've done hurting someone I loved deeply that when I decided enough was enough. I was full of guilt, anger, fear, and loathing spiraling in depression. Then I switched gears and used all that negative energy and channeled it into fuel for discipline, motivation, drive, ambition, determination to beat my addiction. Got into fitness, dieting, focused on my financials and my career. Path to sobriety is long and the road to redemption is even longer and not guaranteed, but set goals and move in silence. All wounds will heal in due time but until then set goals and don't lose focus.

[@psychic_crab_asmr]

I was a hardcore half a handle of vodka a day alcoholic with no hope in life for 8 years. I decided one day that I had to be better, so I went to rehab. It was the best decision of my life. I have been sober for 3 years and my life has completely turned around. Life is still incredibly hard. I just lost my partner and will lose my father in 1 to 2 months. But I wont drink about it. You can do this. I highly recommend going to rehab if it is possible. Otherwise, good luck and don't drink.

[@buddyjones6429]

Everyones rock bottom is different. Mine was in January. Had abdominal pains, waited almost a month to go to a walk in clinic. They did tests, called me in and told me to goto the emergency room NOW. They did tests and told me to see a GI doctor ASAP. They told me my liver was shutting down. As of now, looks like I may have dodged a bullet. Liver is functioning but still compromised. I'm at 3 months and have zero desire for alcohol. Had I kept going they said I'd need to get on a transplant list.

[@USBP464]

Dude, your video speaks to me as if we're eye to eye. I've got a few years on ya and been booze-free for nine months, but the things you've noticed, including the pitfalls are the same things I've noticed. Man, its good to find someone who has gone through the same things I've gone through in this alcohol free endeavor. To your experiences I would add: 1) The problems I had before I stopped drinking were still there front and center when I stopped drinking. What's changed (so far) is my perspective in how I deal with those problems. 2) You can't drink and drive- your luck will run out and the price of a DUI, an accident or taking someone's like or losing your own is just too damned high. Whenever I'm bored as fuq, when there are more issues than answers and I miss that warm feeling of that first drink from my throat to my belly - I tell myself "I didn't get behind the wheel today, I didn't get a DUI today, I didn't kill someone today. I may drink again someday....but not today." Stay in the fight bruddah. Some days will be better than others, but it's worth the fight. You will be victorious!

[@robertbordevik5072]

Your silence speaks volumes dude. Hope you’re okey 🙏 My rock bottom was finding out that there are more levels down after what I thought was THE rock bottom. So when I hit the 7th or eight level beneath what I thought was rock bottom, well… it’s not looking good to put it that way. I think I past through hell years ago. Now I’m in another realm where even the devil goes: I ain’t goin in there.. But there’s always hope and there is always a way out. Well at least that’s what they say. I’ve been sober for a week. I can go 3 months without easily. Then this idiotic idea comes, maybe I can just have some wine with the food, or I watch a movie where a guy at his office pours himself some whiskey, and I think: hmm, I can do that too, no problem! and then.. hello rock bottom.

[@archangel_josh]

I got sober a few days after my 39th birthday. It stopped being fun years ago and had been problematic for years. I also never got that beer buzz in the end...I used to have 2 beers and be all like "Yeah! Woo! This is fun! Let's go and do something." It got to the point where I'd just sit there drinking, getting drunk and I had no euphoria. No buzz at all, no fun feelings at all. Currently a year and a half sober TODAY. 548 days.

Man, I have to say firstly huge respect to you for sharing this online, and for having the courage to tackle things and take stock. I honestly don't know why people would want to leave negative or hurtful comments here as you come across as a genuine, honest and decent guy, and this can (and does) happen to anyone. I struggle with alcohol myself and I know the feelings you describe very well. Your analogy of 'switching the brain off' is absolutely spot on, as that is effectively what we do when we drink. For a very brief time we feel better but that feeling of euphoria gets shorter and shorter. And then in the morning the brain has to reboot and rebalance itself, but each time you're in a much worse place than you were the night before. Huge gaps where you can't remember what you said or did, feelings of anxiety, regret and embarrassment, the list goes on doesn't it. Really hope you're in a better place now and free from it. Sending best wishes to you.

Are you still sober? I did almost a year then thought because my birthday is on Christmas I could have a day…. Went beyond a day. I feel horrible about myself…. I hope you’re still sober 🤞

[@evan2799]

It’s a difficult approach that you’re making here, but it’s good that you’ve at least given yourself a little bit of time to see some clarity. A lot of people in my life have been able to quit and remain sober without support systems like therapists, group meetings, sober friends with the same goal, and so on. My story is similar to yours- quite uncanny actually. I started drinking at the same age, played in bands, got super rowdy, and so forth. I suppose I never did say that I “hit rock bottom,” but there did come a time where I realized that I was an alcoholic and it completely fucked up a lot of things in my life. I finally quit, and stayed sober for 9 months and 2 days after drinking every day for the better part of 25 years. Life hit me really hard and all at once after those 9 months of sobriety. I convinced myself that I could handle just one beer and a whiskey on a very lonely Christmas Eve in Seattle, listening to The Pogues and ducking into a bar as the snow fell. I’m a master of romanticizing things, justifying things, and convincing myself that I’m strong and determined. The second that the IPA touched my lips, I knew it was over. I had 2 more rounds, because fuck it. “Just this one night,” I said. I was back in full swing the next day, and for the following 4 months. Destroying more friendships, putting a nail in the coffin with my relationship, making a complete fool of myself, and waking up every single day with that deep sense of humiliation and regret. I’d just drink some more. I quit again after my 4 month binge. “I’m serious this time,” I told myself. I proclaimed it as I had the first time on social media for everyone to see, patting myself on the back for my vulnerability and “holding myself accountable.” The likes and supportive words came flooding in, as they always do. “You’ve got this!” “So proud of you!” The ego boosted and the dopamine rush was real. I entered the ‘pink-cloud’ phase again (a phenomanal feeling for those who aren’t familiar), which if I had to guess is how you felt when you posted your video. I posted about my determination and I finally was going to get sober “for real” to faces on a screen, most of whom I didn’t even know, and a handful of distant acquaintances. Most of them clicked “love” and “care” and left a few motivational words. They went about their lives, and so did I. My sobriety lasted about 5 months that time, until I went on a date with a really nice gal who ordered a glass of wine. “Yeah, I’ll have the same,” I said. It’s just that easy. It was once again over for me, binging again for the next 3 months, maybe more. I’ve relapsed 3 times now, and I never thought I would when I quit the first time. It has a hold on me, as it does with millions and millions of people. The addiction is always hiding in the background doing pushups and just waiting for you to cave and convince yourself that a drink or a drug will give you some relief, ease the pain, maybe even solve some things. You KNOW it won’t, but you do it anyway. And on, and on, and on. I commend those who are successful the first time attempting to get sober. It truly is amazing. I’d have almost 2 years under my belt right now if I’d stuck with it from the beginning. There’s no right way to do it, obviously. People who tell you otherwise just don’t understand. My approach, the white-knuckle approach, hasn’t worked for me. The feeling that I had when I boasted about my goals disappeared with time. I’m 5 days sober now, and I’m writing on here because it’s somewhat anonymous and a way for me to get some thoughts out. It’s always super disheartening when I have to turn back the sobriety clock, feeling like I’m starting all over again, but I know it’s better than the alternative. Some people say there’s no shame in relapsing, but there is. At least for me. I’m using that shame for some motivation this time around. I won’t be professing this on my social media, but I’ve shared it with couple very close and trusted friends. I’m gonna try to tackle this from another direction this time around by setting up some healthy support systems. I’m strong and self-determined, but obviously not enough to eradicate the temptation when life gets so hard and fucked up, which is an inevitability. For all of us. I wish you all the best, man. Please reach out if you’d ever like to chat.

Hi. I grew up without alcohol. In college, I was bullied for not 'being able to hold my liquor.' I prayed to the heavens to have the body that could drink.

We've got to stop teaching our boys that this is normal. We talk about the tragedy and laugh about a hangover. It's not funny or harmless. This has been killing us for a long time.

Sadly it’s a tale as old as time. Loses everything and wants to make things right with his finance. Makes a bunch of promise and rides a pink cloud until life shows up and he drinks again. Hopefully I’m wrong but I’ve been through it a bunch.

Hello Brother.....you and i an exact same story ...I am a drummer and a problem drinker....I binge drink....and i am struggling everyday .....I am 44 years old now ....my girlfriend left me Dec 23..... My mom was sick and had to undergo surgery....but i drank all day ...and even said "I love you" to the lady hospital guard ..... Every time i drink i am mad .... I know alcohol is my greatest enemy .....but i just can't quit.... Now I will try mindfulness meditation and pranayam( breathing exercise) hope it will help me ..... And people say Naltrexone is a miracle drug ....so i might try that soon ....I am still researching though... All the best bro ....Hope we can make our lives better....and hope your fiance comes back to you soon 🤟

Good luck friend, the longer you abstein the more you'll start enjoying things, once upon a time drinking was all I enjoyed, everything was around drink. Now it doesn't bother me, the same will happen to you, stick with it it's a demon, best thing I ever done, drinking is a fools game - Don-England

[@LighTfromAbuV]

[@Robe_Hernandez]

As a musician I can relate to this, its hard, alcohol is all around us. Ive been sober 3 months now, and its been the best 3 months in my life. My music carreer is doing so much better, when I was drinking Inwouldnt practice or recording was a hassle, now sober Inhave so much time and recording is so easy. I have energy to get a lot done.
