Waking up from the alcohol dream | Jens Wilms | TEDxBUas

[@Wildmanmercury]

Great talk. I definitely find not drinking extremely liberating. No more hangovers, no dependence on a poison, no hiding bottles, no shameful trips to the liquor store, and more.

[@jonjosyson6484]

I hope you are still in a place that makes you happy! I had 6 days off the drink but, have just buckled .. I will try again tomorrow 🙄

[@Wildmanmercury]

@@jonjosyson6484 Thanks! I got sober October 5th, 2020 so about 13 months now. There are some days I think about drinking, but so far I’ve resisted. I quit & drank a number of times before holding on this long. Keep up the good fight! Tomorrow is a new day.

[@zempirians]

@@jonjosyson6484 never quit, quitting...

[@rpgmindandfitness]

Ugh. Nothing worse than the shameful trip to the liquor store to see the clerk whose seen you come in every day of your bender. Looking worse and worse every day. Just averting eye contact the last few times out of humiliation. I remember when I got laid off from my job during the first year of COVID. I drank every day until I just ran out of money. Started at bars socially and then devolved until it was every day secluded. I put on clothes only to walk a block to the liquor store. Dark, dark time.

TV has a big impact on peoples habits. That's why I love how on the mentalist...he always drinks tea. More shows should send our kids non alcoholic messages.

[@fergusjoel6886]

Had the best sleep of my life after giving up. A proper good deep sleep, the one you wake thinking God I Really Needed That

[@rogernormile1631]

I admire you, god bless you and people like you. We need you for our young people and not so young people. Too many people suffering because of alcohol addiction. Terribly hard for people to get free of their addiction when alcohol advertised everywhere and part of nearly all social activities. Its very sad. Well done to you. I wish you great success. You are doing a great service to people. 👍

The worst thing ever was the withdrawal symptoms I suffered and did not know the severity of them, alcohol withdrawal was the worst thing I have ever experienced and I have had 3 csections........my entire body shook for almost 4 days to the point I could not drink out of a cup and even shook while I slept in detox made my blood pressure sky rocket and caused tachycardia (high heart rate) I thought I was going to have a heart attack and couldn't eat during this time as well as having to take multiple medications to prevent siezures mad to lower my blood pressure....hi my name is Amber I am 30 years old and an alcoholic.

[@francishernandez9070]

I finally admitted to my self that I’m an alcoholic I just came out of an 7 day bender my name is frank I’m 31 and I’m an alcoholic

[@alm6356]

@amber how are doing now?

[@scentlessxapprentice]

I had to be put on medication to detox from alcohol safely. I would shake, sweat, get vertigo but the shakes were the scariest part because the anxiety of not knowing if it’s the beginning of a seizure of horrible. Seven months sober here and I hope you’re doing well!

[@Melissa-bh5ro]

I wish you the best, you can do it!

[@Nat.Dialogue]

Amber.. young lady, that is as about as severe as it gets without expiring.. good luck girl and wishing you the best for a brave journey

Good video, he read Allen Carrs book.

[@amandah.5880]

🤔

[@mountaintruth1deeds533]

He may have read the book, but was likely on drugs when he did, this is superficial nonsense.

[@1Jason]

@@mountaintruth1deeds533 Looks like somebody got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning😂

[@healinginreachtarot5064]

Awesome

[@noahduffty]

ironic how he's talking about alcohol and sounds pissed while doing it lmao

[@tonymoroc]

Mmmm 🤔

[@jimmycain8669]

18 years sober and have been the speaker at lots of treatment centers, etc. and am pretty crummy at it but I’m way better than this guy. I think he needs a 24 hour chip.

[@MajorJakas]

what's "picha dood" mean?

[@jenswilms8523]

Jay schmidt “biertje doen” = do you wanna get a beer? “Theetje doen” = do you wanna get a cup of tea?

[@nickyholden861]

Am I the only one who thought he was on something? To fight his fear perhaps.

[@DerSaa]

I think he was just nervous :)

[@johncgw4011]

He was being himself. He wasn't 'on' anything.

[@adamgraham2860]

He is high.... on life. Liberation!

[@PauloQueirozJS]

Try to be sober and give an important talk in a famous show, it is free shots of adrenaline, if you can handle it you are awesome!

[@shootermcgavin991]

Seemed fine to me

[@mountaintruth1deeds533]

I think less with this guy , he is just a kid, knows nothing about the actual problem.

[@Ballcheese289]

Such a boring speaker

[@chromedomelocator4261]

COULDN'T AGREEE MORE Mr. Ballcheese.
