[@Mjb23-l7w]

This is good content homey. Like you said, if your functional, all good BUT someone might need that. Same with smoking and the vapes dabs wraps.

[@xgoatface]

Yo Rascal, I’m 37, and that alcohol withdrawal is NO JOKE. I’m never going back to drinking. Thank you for your content too.

[@gnarlyvato1999]

Great spill! I also had my struggles with alcohol. I'm going on 4 yrs in feb. I couldn't stop until I took a shot in my hip. I now have clarity as they say. Sobriety is the reason I started my channel. I can't stand the old person I was when I drank. If I think about drinking, I remember all the problems I had with it. Keep pushing, Sobriety . I'm trying to get all races of homies sober.

[@peteramirez8514]

I'm proud of the fact that you're willing to share with us some of the darkest times of your life. Most content creators are too busy bragging about how bad and perfect they are. You're doing this not to look weak but hopefully to help others. To me that's GANGSTER! THANKS HOMIE.

[@HOMIEHangout]

🙏🏼 Appreciate it homie

[@peteramirez8514]

Last time I talked to him about what these KZbin creators talked about. He told me it doesn't bother him. He said," bro, the ones who know,know!" "The ones that don't, won't believe you anyways." So basically he doesn't care what people who don't know him think about him. His homies in ADX know who he really is.

[@tetumbo4290]

What’s up brother, I’m 59, coming up on one year, in February, and I’ve been feeling really good about my decision to stop drinking, best thing that happened is that I lost almost 20lbs, that really helped my overall health, i.e., blood pressure, knee pain, and just overall mood. Thanks for the info, God bless!

[@HOMIEHangout]

🫡 it’s really kinda fascinating, and scary, just how bad for our bodies alcohol is .. aside from the addiction component or people acting up when intoxicated it’s just not *good* for us at all

[@Genesis817]

Rascal is killing it lately. Saludos and blessings to you and you're family.

[@Philthy.mcguyver310]

I can’t taper off I need to do it cold turkey … problem with me is when I start drinking , I can’t stop it will turn into a whole week of drinking for me

[@DazeBagz]

Same, I can go weeks without a drink but when it’s on it’s on. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Philthy.mcguyver310]

@ yeah I get u I didn’t drink for 3 monthes , then the holidays got me ahaha

[@brettehrenhardt8275]

I've been sober for coming up on 5yrs. My life's never been better. I appreciate the content!

[@HOMIEHangout]

🙏🏼

[@mariodutra656]

Great explanation of the difference between drug dependency and addiction.Many people and some doctors still get it confused.

[@margaretvelazquez179]

Hey Josh. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I think this is something we need to talk about a lot more. I think it's important and I'm glad that you put out these types of videos. You know, my struggle. I've been out of the life 26 over 26 years now and I'm gonna sober over 19. It's a long journey and it's not easy. But I wanna let you know.Thank you for doing all of these videos.Even the one that was done today about tapering versus cold turkey called turkey ain't fun Always much. Respect

[@rileysalmon5082]

our darkest moments can be our strongest assets. as you are showing. i quit once and had a seizure scary stuff!! i’m so grateful that’s not the case today ! 1 day at a time !

[@marioaguilera4005]

I appreciate your sharing of information rascal.yiur right having a sense of community and support i think goes along way other than hearing negative and disrespectful comments to being an alcoholic,i always had that eff it attitude.just hearing two episodes of yours yesterday instead of an 18 pack i had a 6 pack.

[@frankmorris3220]

Good video Rascal! Ive been a heavy weekend drinker for many year's. I decided to not drink for the month of January. I feel alcohol is starting to affect my health and want to see how my body feels after that month.

[@HOMIEHangout]

Respect, thats what it's all about. Your body will thank you even if its just a break. and I'm curious to hear how you feel in a few weeks

[@RockyVerggon]

Mix3motionstv sent me ... Can't wait for the interview together. I'm at the truck stop watching your videos like you asked us to great job guys💯

[@sparkybuff4728]

I appreciate this content from you, Josh 🫡

[@DH702..]

I used to drink so much i was scared to get a car and get a dui. 6 hurricane tallboys a day for almost ten years. Idk what happened but i slowly and subconsciously chilled out. I babysit one or 2 for like 10 hours. I realized this a month ago and have been saving up to put a down payment on a nice car

[@HOMIEHangout]

You earned that!

[@OGgrandpaw]

Kicking alcohol is miserable. Thanks for the video

[@jesusvasquez3916]

This is one of the best topics I've heard ....since me and a lot of ppl around me are going through...I have tried tapering of and it work.i as exercising heavily drinking a lot Powerade and a lot of will power and I did it for over 2 months

[@mr.jassogrows6206]

Buenos Dias Rascal, I ve been sober for 3 years best thing that has ever happened to me one of the biggest positive aspects of quitting is my relationship with my children our kids notice every thing we all need to set a better example for the youth

[@Ts.TheMess]

A mini series would be cool. I’m interested in a similar review about tapering off opiate dependent prescriptions ie: suboxine/methadone

[@HOMIEHangout]

I'd have to tap in with someone else as that isn't something I have personal experience with - let me look around but I'm for sure willing

[@robertritchie1622]

Another great video with good information. Always looking forward to your next drop. Blessings

[@rileysalmon5082]

our darkest moments can be our strongest assets. as you are showing. i quit once and had a seizure scary stuff!! i’m so grateful that’s not the case today ! 1 day at a time ! also not to correct u but i believe it’s alcohol and benzos ( xanex) ect. quitting opioids u feel like ur gonna die but not actually at risk of dying ;(

[@tentoezdownmovement4914]

This one is hit close to home my father is going through. This right now well he is trying anyways drinks the same drinks you did and has a bad diet. I'm trying to get him on the proper new tuition as well and he is trying to tapper this helps and it's much appreciated

[@Philthy.mcguyver310]

U know what I didn’t like when I stopped drinking …. I started having like dreams and nightmares again 😂

[@Kingkong-qu8eh]

I was listening to this while sleeping and started dreaming I was drunk in a building roof and u were running this like an info class was weird and woke up right at the end. Thought I’d leave this message cos I usually forget my dreams 5min later

[@georgerogers8869boxstatebizzns]

Sup bro thanks for sharing i did a double shooter a day sometimes I would do up to 5 a day and I got tired of having headaches every morning waking up so I quit cold turkey so far it's been a year and and 2 months I have cancer so I smoke weed and take my pain pills everyday but I'm doing a lot better I don't know even crave the alcohol stay positive bro and take care of yourself much respect bro

[@travisdrury5556]

💯 on breaking down being dependent and addicted ive been on and off methadone for many yrs and they used to encourage us to taper when comfortable but not anymore its too much money

[@rileysalmon5082]

i drank 1.5 liters to 2 plus a gang of vicadin a day. talk about a tough detox ! thank god for detox facilities

[@Ern415]

Good topic. I quit alcohol cold turkey 17 years ago. Haven’t had a drink ever since.

[@RaidersRaidersRaiders]

Loving the consistency in 2025 thank you

[@JessieGutierrez-mh2db]

Good stuff bro!!!

[@blackeddie154]

I was drinking about 6-10 tally’s hurricanes 😂n about a pint to a pint n a 1/2 of vodka I had the shakes etc I went to emergency got fluids intravenously shot of adavan n got a script for the shakes n vomiting n started tapering off 5 tally’s a day 4-3-2-1 n stayed on my pills n I also had seraquel which helps also with sleeping n anxiety n I’ve been clean since thank god

[@mosethegreat7415]

Good video very informative keep pushing

[@smalltownreviews]

I’m on my journey to get sober ritenow , I haven’t stopped completely but only one drink a day instead of 10 is a start I guess lol

[@HOMIEHangout]

Absolutely it is homie - salute

[@JMTrucking1417]

Burroughs had an interesting take on tapering, of course his drug of choice was opiates but i think the opinion rolls over to any drug, he said the addict will always find a reason for an xtra or early dose . I have found this to be absolutely true for myself & others i know that have tried. That being said we now know that alcohol & benzos are xtremely dangerous to quit cold.

[@the_real_rico_mercado245]

Salute 🫡 and Respect ✊🏽

[@RockyVerggon]

Damn the youngn mix3motions is not cappin no numbers unless you speak on the SS🔵🔵🔵🤣

[@mr-oso-805]

I've been on suboxon for 3 years now. I've tried to relapse 3 times. I say tried because the opiate receptors aren't receptive. So I couldn't get high. All recommend by my drug and alcohol councilor. But essentially, I'm physically dependent on the suboxone. It's not anywhere near the withdrawal as heroine. It's not walk in the park though. They would taper me off gradually if I asked them. They leave it up to me. If we decided I'm low risk of relapse. We will. Im only mentioning this, because you mentioned people never tapering off methadone. That is different from suboxon. But, it can be used in the same fashion. So i understand the point, and am in no way disregarding it. It's a fair point. The way the clinics see it. (Unless you wanna get conspiratorial) is its safer, healthier, and better for the community. If the heroine addict is on medically assisted treatment for as long as nessasary. Rather than out chasing the dragon. I just wanted to put that out there. Thanks for sharing your story. saludos con respeto

[@HKRAQ]

I quit cold turkey, I was incredibly fortunate my withdrawal symptoms were incredibly mild. No shakes, barely sick at all, I really just felt like I had a mild flu

[@BiggYTRAIDER]

@@HKRAQ God is good

[@HKRAQ]

@ amen

[@FreeMinds]

Gona come back to this 1, I have 2,083 days as of today

[@michaelLucero-q1h]

Quitting gonna hurt. But necessary. Our bodies are not made to sustain foreign liquids so it will adapt. You have to reverse the process. Kicking heroin and methadone after a few year run was a MO FO! Didn't sleep for a month.

[@HardCandy-d9q]

Unfortunately you need drugs to get off drugs.. Tapering off is always better with the help of something else whatever that may be that’s how I’ve always done it if I partied too much and over done it with a variety of substances now I’ve been sober from everything for 15 years but I honestly feel worse and have had more health problems but being a single father I have to live the sober life..Good advice bro

[@penningtonisaac13]

Just got out the hospital tried weaning off beer every 5 hrs tried 6 had a seizure fell back busted my head it was like my 5th seizure ain't no joke

[@HOMIEHangout]

Damn sorry to hear that - hopefully you are doing better on the withdraw w/ doctors help

[@louiswilkins2034]

10 years on may 1st. Only wisdom I have is that everything you know is true when you’re drinking is a lie.

[@RockyVerggon]

Practice what you preach whiteman🎯

[@vincentsaldana6129]

I have no problem with alcohol even though alcoholism runs on both sides of my family my problem is heroin

[@juancarodriguez7922]

Also you can’t quit Xanax cold turkey, I take them and is so hard to get off them!

[@HOMIEHangout]

I don’t know too much about Xanax but I believe it - those “meds” can be brutal

[@juancarodriguez7922]

@ yeah, if I stop cold turkey, I can die just like alcohol. It sucks but I gotta stop slowly!

[@mistatk]

My family made me quit alchohol cold turkey. Intervention style, and they said cold turkey. They tried to take me to a rehab, but they took my heart rate at intake and it was already so high from withdrawals that they called an ambulance and I went to the hospital. I don't know what all they did at the hospital, they released me after a few hours after they got my heart rate down. They released me to a family members care, they couldn't force me to say. I ended up being able to get someone to sneak me alchohol, I couldn't drive to get some because I was having massive hallucinations and was flopping about from violent shakes. Do yourself a favor, get serious if you want to quit and taper off. I was trying to quit abruptly due to life complications, quitting from 1 bottle hard liquor per day, and your body just cant take going to 0. But at the same time, when your tapering off and have those few drinks your allowed, nothing seems more important than getting some more. That was quitting from 15 years daily drinking till you pass out.

[@HOMIEHangout]

Props to your family for the spirit of the intervention even if they didn't quite have the process right but most of all salute to you for saving your life.

I been stuck on the mikes harder cranberry 24s for too long. Like 2 a night. I relate like fuck. Spooked to stop to be 1000. I been plotting on the at home taper to zero for a month. That video was on time.

[@Jays2Lazy]

Aye good shit

[@Jays2Lazy]

Man appreciate this video , one of the main reasons I want to slow down on drinking , besides the damage to my body ,the waste of money and the unhealthy relationship is , I get that emotional drunk where I'm sending wild texts to toxic females that I don't like but I still text them crazy Simp shit and it's not healthy for my personal relationships or in general . I can't tell you the amount of drunk texts I've sent these past couple months to women who I know don't have my best interests at heart . Appreciate you homie !
