The warning signs of alcohol abuse disorder

[@Dante-tt5bz]

I'm 6 days sober so far thanks to aa. Thought I could do it on my own but man I was wrong

[@jamesturbyfill6281]

I know as a alcoholic in recovery (2 years sober) one thing that sucks is alcohol is socially expected! Ive had to explain to people why i dont drink!! A addict doesnt have to explain to anyone why they stoppped doing drugs!!

[@larryc7209]

It's no omne's business why you choose to drink or not to drink

[@motowngirl5891]

You don’t need to explain anything to anyone, never tell people you QUIT drinking they will want nothing to do with you, it’s no one’s business People think you MUST HAVE HAVE SOMETHING TERRIBLE happen to you

[@timm9842]

my late spouse was dead at 62 from excessive binge drinking, had blood pressure also. Would not attend AA. Found her dead in the house. Had a massive stroke.

[@Protogorius]

62 is pretty old Binge drinking is drinking not every day but drinking a huge amount at once 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Susanates-sz5te]

Im 30 days sober alcohol free but i need to be educated more on this and its not much out there. I need more understanding. The only way i find it is to buy Matthew Perry book. He mentioned alot of things i relate too with fight this problem.

[@BillyMobiles]

Try taking mushrooms it's the best way to avoid alcohol intake

[@BillyMobiles]

I get my stuffs from Dr bayo plants

[@brentrogers-se8kx]

@@BillyMobiles how about not trading one mind altering substance for another? Live life sober.

[@trkn5681]

Alcohol has been classified as a poison. Stands to reason it will damage anything it comes in contact with inside the body.

[@warmblood8016]

I have a close relative who is an alcoholic and I can see plainly it's affecting her memory and physical appearance. Problem is, her husband is also an alcoholic. I don't know how to approach her or if I even should.

[@samuelslater4145]

If anyone needs a faith-builder, the day I stopped drinking was the day I broke the spirit of alcoholism in the name of Jesus the Son of God, the King of the Universe and commanded it to be GONE. I tried literally EVERYTHING else, including AA, which I still attend. But without the power of the Son of God, I was never, ever able to heal. I feel like someone needs to hear this.

[@gravedigr12]

I want to stop I really do but I feel so lost and scared im not sure what to do anymore I tried talking to a counseler but he quit answering my calls I don't want to die I want to live and have grandchildren but I feel so lost and stupid.

[@stephent5021]

No counselor will help, no AA meetings or any of that stuff.. Just God The Heavenly Father. Made a promise to him to never take a sip of alcohol ever again, and that’s a promise that if I break, I go to hell. 6 months sober and I don’t miss it one bit. You can do it brother, stay strong, and God bless

[@snozzybosch7503]

Read a book called “ how to give up drinking alcohol” by Alan Carr. The best book you will find on the topic; follow the instructions fully.

[@GigaSigmaChadOmega]

@@stephent5021lmao do you even know what AA meetings are? You say that you pray to God to make you stop, yet you don’t realize that God is one of the key aspects of the 12 Steps.

If i quit drinking then what am i supposed to do about my physical pain? My emotional pain from anxiety, from being a minority? How am i supposed to cope if i cant escape?

[@Rickyspanswick]

Join a gym

[@sethkimtie2505]

@@Rickyspanswickyour comment is very underrated. Joining a gym is very important.

[@GigaSigmaChadOmega]

stop escaping and face your problems like a man

[@GodBlessedThisBod]

I agree, GYM! Take control of yourself by taking care of your body and practice healthy living.

[@blkbelt203]

Isn't easy . As the other comments mentioned training. I am alcoholic , currently trying to quit but not easy

[@brentrogers-se8kx]

I check all the boxes!

2 hours sober. Trying hard not to open this 12th beer but you know how it goes

[@grandmastermario3695]

Alcoholics often trigger me because my stepdads were abusive drunks

[@PrincessPink433]

This is a serious and important issue no doubt, but it needs to be discussed more frequently than just once a year, then maybe you’d get more views and attention on this problem. A couple things, I disagree that this is “genetic”, it can be for some but not all. There are people who grow up with alcoholic parents and have even been exposed to alcohol during birth, yet never drink. It’s about choice, you can choose not to become an alcoholic by not drinking in the first place. Also, alcoholism is indeed “a moral failure, character flaw and a weakness”, you can’t just blame it all on genetics because you need to hold people to a certain level of personal accountability and that should be the first step to recovery. As for the mental health aspect, if we’re not funding mental health institutions, it can be even harder to get support so we should start there. As Chicago mayor I’d explore prohibition again, I know it failed historically but I’d look into how I can limit the manufacturing, sale and purchase of alcohol and other types of drugs in this city.

[@valentinovamsi]

Humble suggestion: maybe setting a income limit on who can buy alcohol should regulate one part of the abuse.

[@larryc7209]

There is a genetic tendency for children of alcoholics to become alcoholics. This doesn't mean that every child will follow in their parents' footsteps. It is a disease which is better characterized as a disorder. The act of drinking and the consequences are totally the responsibility of the alcoholic who drinks. The compulsion to drink is the basis of the disorder

[@Justine-fs5ux]

Alcoholism is a symptom of severe loneliness and fear. It is desperation.

[@trkn5681]

Easier to get over loneliness and fear than severe hangovers and diarrhea.
