I'm a 48 YO veteran, cirrhosis survivor of 3 Years. I know everyone's body reacts differently so I'm gonna tell you my story in hindsight. I was the kind of person who felt normal while inebriated. I was an alcoholic in the military. I was an alcoholic after the military. I was 40 YO, when as usual I was & drunk & I noticed the top of my foot jiggling as I walked through the house. My feet were puffy. It went away, just a thing. Two years later, I had an intervention at the VA Hospital where they told me my liver enzymes were elevated, ok. Five years later I suddenly collapsed, my legs gave out & I couldn't stand for several minutes (Sarcopenia). It happened again so I started trying to exercise, wishful thinking. I couldn't stand on my tip toes. My calves would cramp along with my toes. My hams & finger would also cramp. My neighbors were complaining about my absent mindedness (Hepatic Encephalopathy) & If I scratched myself, it bled profusely (thrombocytopenia). my belly had become extremely swollen & painful (Ascites). This made me call an ambulance. I was crying because it hurt so bad, plus I was mentally insane. I got a Paracentesis at the hospital where they removed 9 liters of ascites from my abdomen. My heart was swollen (Alcoholic cardiomyopathy) I had a kidney infection & I was told that I would lose my liver but fortunately that didn't happen. After my two months stay in the hospital, I had to regularly return for more Paracentesis procedures to remove the ascites, three times a month. I was given over twenty five Medications to take home in the hopes that I could safely administer them myself, I couldn't. (Lactulose), a medication administered (50ml) 3x daily is difficult to adhere to when you are out of your mind (Hepatic Encephalopathy) so I was evicted & I had to pay $900.⁰⁰ a month to stay in a very cheap, poorly managed assisted living facility witch was actually a trap house for the mentally unstable. At least they gave me my medicine. I left that awful place 6 months ago & now I am in a wonderful apartment 400 yards from a Super Walmart. I have my Lactulose, Furosemide, Rifaximin, Pantoprazole, Propranolol & Spironolactone to keep me healthy. If it wasn't for Alcohol, I wouldn't have joined the Military. After the military, I became a government contractor that has a magnificent passport. If it wasn't for Alcohol I would have two passports, one expired & one active. Alcohol almost killed me & I'll never touch it again. I will die before my time due to liver failure but I never think about alcohol. It is a Pyrrhic Victory in its truest meaning. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am. "The only thing in this World that you can control, is yourself." PS Thank you Veterans Healthcare Administration.

L-glutamine may help provide fuel to the brain and reduce stress, anxiety, and pressure-this may help reduce the need for alcohol and sugar. L-glutamine has many other potential health benefits, as well. *Alcohol consumption can block glutamine and all of the beneficial effects that come with it* Other things can also create a glutamine deficiency, such as: • Chronic stress • Overtraining • Trauma • Chronic infection • A lack of glutamine in the diet Foods rich in glutamine: • Beef • Chicken • Fish • Eggs • Dairy • Cabbage • Dark leafy green vegetables • L-glutamine as a supplement Other things that may help get rid of cravings for alcohol and sugar: • Regular exercise without overtraining • Getting enough sleep • Reducing stress • Consuming less alcohol • Get on the keto diet and do intermittent fasting Thank you Dr Berg!! 😺👍

Dr Berg also did another one talking about kudzu for alcohol. I looked it up in other sources and found good comments about it. I passed the info to a friend and they had success with it. There's also an interesting study in mice and gaba receptors. Those with alcohol addiction seem to have this faulty pathway with gaba, but once the pathway is restored then the cravings can go away. They even changed the mice that were not interested in alcohol to get addicted by manipulating the pathway the other way. I'm lucky that I don't struggle with alcohol, but it's easy to why it's not so straightforward for some people to quit when you see the science. There's a KZbin channel called kick it naturally and he talks about the benefits of l glutamine, but has a video on who should not take it too so i think that's worth a watch Wishing you the best

Quitting alcohol was arguably one of the best things i’ve ever done. It wasn’t like it was ruining my life, bc I was very functional and would get energy, and i’d couple it with smoking (weed) while always doing something (i.e.: creating things like art, cooking, sewing, etc.) I was a whiskey, scotch, red wine drinker and had my first drink of (Jack Daniels) in 6th grade. I’m sure being an athlete at a high level most likely allowed me to get away with it for so long, but everyone isn’t so fortunate. Being sedentary or inactive + poor eating habits-coupled with poor sleep is a recipe for disaster! It did use to give me crazy anxiety, though. Worrying about things that I didn’t even feel like were necessarily big problems. Sometimes the alcohol would make it one. Quitting turns the powerless into the powerful!

The problem was all the wasted time on those nights when I wasn't drinking socially. Took me to just accept that I should never drink again and that I was not a drinker any longer and it became really easy. Don't miss it at all either. When I reflect, all of the fun was from the social activities anyway, not the booze.

There is so many good people on here i d even say all of us are. We just have a drinking problem, which doesn't make us bad or any lower than a person that doesn't drink. Its just when we are on it, it changes us...our behavior for that moment when drunk changes us but it is the alcohol (drug) not actually the real us. I believe that most of us started drinking heavy cause of stress/depression because a traumatic event or rather events took place in our lives...whether that was cause of a relationship due to heartbreak or a big injury or losing a loved one....that was our way of coping...at least for me. I m 36 now and been drinking for 7 years ( constantly)...never would i think i d take it that far but i believe its time to stop. The hangovers now take even 2 days, just in my bed all messed up...even feel pinches/tingles on my sides. Then you add the cigarettes ( cause most of us smoke) and you are really on your way to messing your body up. Anyways goodluck to us all...you/we can make it.

Alcoholics Anonymous is NOT about "not drinking", it's about "living differently". Understanding how to get to the moon, without actually doing the work, won't get you off the launch pad! After 29 and a half years of continuous sobriety, I am quite certain of one thing...the path taken to get and stay sober, and AA is only one of them, requires the willingness to take ACTION! Ask yourself this question..."How many hours, days, weeks, months, and years did I "spend" drinking"??? How many "hours" did I spend drinking at home, going to bars, parties, social events, vacations, births, deaths, graduations, and shopping for alcohol??? It's laughable to be worried about spending one hour in an AA meeting compared to the effort you put into booze. The hours I have spent in changing "ME" have been the greatest INVESTMENT I could ever make...and I have a great life to show for it! I sincerely wish you well! Mark

So I hope one day we have a study that correlates them and proves me right. 😊

Very interesting! I was a pretty heavy drinker but noticed once l stopped sugar the cravings went way down. Now that I'm keto I have almost zero cravings and they usually only come after a hard day's work when I haven't eaten dinner yet. I would never call myself an alcoholic, could say no whenever I wanted. But always felt my body was craving something the alcohol provided, never knew there actually was something, very cool!

I’ve been drinking for about 40 plus years. But since 50-60, I drink an average a bottle of wine, alone every dinner (luckily my wife doesn’t drink) I would drink any kind of wine (stronger is better, hard liquor, sake, beer, tequila) I rarely get drunk, hangover, or miss work due to alcohol. I’m now 65 and decided to slow down (not quitting). Dr. Berg Recommended supplement call Kudzu on another video and I so glad I tried. Taking 2 pills/day, now I can control my alcohol craving, I still drink about 1/8 of a glass of wine a night and that’s all. It’s been about 3 months now and will keep going.. Just want to share my experience. Good luck. Thank you dr. Berg.

I wish you all the best of luck when choosing to avoid alcohol. Since drinking is part of being sociable, you may also have to rethink your relationships, as did I. However, know that you can still have fun without indulging in a stiff drink, but don't advertise or brag about it. Just keep your cool, enjoy your alcohol-free drink, and socialize as usual, that way no one will be the wiser. There is a downside to announcing your sobriety. There will always be that one person who sees you as a challenge to get you to take 'just one drink, for old times' sakes.' 'Nobody likes to drink alone,' they'll say! Believe me, it happened to me. But, if push comes to shove, say you're following your doctor's advice. Indeed, you won't be lying. I don't know of any doctor that would recommend anybody to drink alcohol, even if they themselves do. Good luck, my friends! And enjoy your alcohol-free life!

Doc. I thought over time consumption of alcohol increases glutamate because as alcohol keeps grabbing gaba receptors the body creates more and more glutamate to maintain homeostasis. And when a drinker goes without alcohol for a period of time the body is still making glutamate. The resulting imbalance produces anxiety, shakes for some and even seizures for others. What am I missing?
