Thanks for being so honest with your emotions and writing down how you felt and what crazy methods you used to try too stay “in control “ I can’t say 100% I have mirrored what you did and felt but it’s uncanny how similar I am to you. Oh by the way I managed 6 days then I’ve made an excuse up to reward myself with 6 cans of 9% beer Kapacki is poison, I’m back to square one now. And listening to this I have got to get it through my thick skull there’s no control in booze for me

I Spent 2 weeks initially in A&E, admitted me to surgical ward, 1st night had TIA, sent me next ward, my blood pressure 55 / 45, the surgical resident could not control it. ended in ICU, my body at that point was *Fairly Septic* 39.6 degrees, had scans and scans, eventually left, 2 weeks later back in for a week, they could not find infection. Even now 2 months later there is no surgical follow up, I attend AA but have to make sure I Don't have another issue. I Still have stomach issues with my gall bladder, no stones, but sludge!

Hi I’m struggling to give up , I think the availability of alcohol is part of the problem , I can remember when local shops never sold alcohol, pubs were only open so many hours a day never on a Sunday in wales, as a child no alcohol was ever kept in the house except at Christmas , Now it’s everywhere and available all hours , not that I’m using that as an excuse but I’m sure it doesn’t help . Thank you for your videos I’m hoping I can do this x

What I don't understand is this I'll just have one drink scenario, as an alcoholic myself, sober 9 years, I say to myself what's the point in one drink because I drank to get drunk? If I fancy a taste I get a 0%. I also have a part dead pancreas after acute pancreatitis and that pain should put anyone off alcohol forever! Also left me a Type 1 diabetic. Anyway keep up the fight, I think you're helping a lot of people ❤

[@richevandroo5041]

Hi Steven. Thanks for the video as usual! Havent comented in a while now, as sadly i cant lie, i did pick up a drink a couple or 3 weeks ago and listening to you describe where yours went mines going that way (not that it can end up anywhere else!) Oddly, day before yesterday i awoke and said im done, im returning to my sobriety seeing as it was the greatest gift i could ever have given myself / people around me. And didnt drink... felt amazing too mentally like "pheww were back on track no drama!" - however yesterday i had a very familiar thought process im sure many of you out there have had and that was "well one last drink up its kind of sad to let it go" and fell for it (bloody awful night awoke this morn for work like death) however a question is (if you read this overly long comment haha) in this situation, if you could have spoke face to face with an old version of you, lets say starting to get deep into the life style again when you relapsed and felt all controll was out the window, what would you say to get through to him? Or, would you just keep warning him about the horrific health consequences that lay ahead abd hope he regains that inner wise voice that wisely fears the health risks and goes all out for sobriety / health again? Ps. I already have a lot of fibrosis in my liver from years of reallyyyyy heavy drinking hence i found your channel mpnths ago whist researching the condition! So listening to you say all your stories about when you hit end stage liver disease and bounced back screams so loud to me as im like rich mate its only ending in hospital stop now for god sake before its at that horrific stage but ive lost all controll of my inner comentary i had gained when i was sober longterm nightmare.

[@Leslie55555]

@@richevandroo5041 very thoughtful and reflective questions! Please stay strong and I know it sounds like a cliche, but one day at a time is what worked for me. 5 years sober after a 30 year battle, elevated liver enzymes, horrific headaches, depression/anxiety etc. I now welcome the mornings😊

[@stevencurry215]

Hi Richard very interesting read …regarding if I could go back in time to when I lost control in the relapse I would say “ Keep going to the Drs and complain that nothing is being done to help or go to A-E and cause a fuss…the only safe way to come off alcohol is via medical intervention 👍

[@stevencurry215]

Thanks for your input Leslie ❤️

[@72steviec]

I was in exactly the same boat kidding myself this time it would be different and I would be in control. I was begging my GP within 3 weeks of drinking again to prescribe me a short course of librium/diazepam and he wouldn't do that ( I guess it has to be administered professionally in a responsible environment) he said carry on drinking and taper off and get to a alcohol support hub. Basically wait 6 months for a funded detox..thing is I know for sure I would have been dead inside 6 months. GPs know very little about this disorder imo

[@johnkerr7286]

Yes, the bastards won't give diazapam, but they they love giving the convid jab. I wouldn't ask a doctor to look after a sick cat.

I tend to agree re GPs the hospital Drs are more aware in my opinion

@@Manos-de-Piedra I started gently at first on my relapse. I would have 4 cans, then after 3 days 2 bottles of wine.

I've read about the phenomenon you mentioned wherein every relapse and detox is worse; it's apparently been termed the kindling effect. My understanding - and experience - of it is that the flames of alcoholism are always silently smouldering in us. It requires less each time to stoke the flames and with each lapse the fire burns more of us away.

Don`t get me wrong ,but being fond of a drink includes the people that can afford it as well as the less off .See how many people from the music industry and Hollywood were Alcoholics .They had the world at their feet and just continued drinking even though it would ruin their future , I know millionaires that are functioning alcoholics .
