[@KimMorgan-d9y]

I'm a veteran, alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@hannanora9507]

I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

[@ParkBills]

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏🏻

YES very sure of mycologist benmycologys. This treatment worked for me. Helped me got rid of my life long depression and BPD.

[@iandevoy8066]

I have started my journey of abstinance from Alcohol. My last drink was 6 days ago. Sunday is a huge day for me in terms of drinking and today was horrendous. I struggle to relax and get bored easily, and the urge to go to the bar is overwhelming. I won't do it, though, and I have gotten this far. Drink has made me overweight. Friends have disassociated with me because of my behaviour drinking, and I have spent literally thousands on it. Something happened this week where it was pointed out, and it hit home. I will succeed and hope you all do too!

My wife threatened to leave me if I didn’t stop, so I did. On day 3 she was so concerned about my effects she said I could bring it back if I kept myself to 8 drinks a day and reduced from there so I bought some alcohol. But I didn’t partake, I told her if I drink now I’ll have suffered those days for nothing. My journey has begun. And here’s what’s important, she let me off the hook and I decided to quit for ME, not anyone else. Please wish me luck

If you're finding it difficult, getting bored or have cravings then take things 15 minutes at a time.....just say "no, I'm going to hold out 15 minutes and it'll go away" - that's what helps me! 👌

[@eveevolution1607]

Lglutimine also helps w cravings as most cravings come from our body seeking the sugar booze 🥃 metabolism as. Our sugar levels drop due to not boozing and your brain craves the booze that was skyrocketing these levels. It also helps the brain become more clear and most boozers lack in this amino acid and other vitamins as we deplet our bodies of them by drinking. There are a lot of thongs that help where people don’t need to drive themselves mad it’s just not discussed as much as it should be

One thing only one day of the year I really want to get hammered that’s Christmas Day..,well I’d stopped for 3 years after 2k detox In Marbella Spain It was my 50 birthday I ordered champagne for my guests at dinner and you guessed it ,….just one glass of Moët and I was full on again starting with beer 🍺 and 12 o clock hit the 🍷 Wine 2 weeks later I was back to my Routine my around the clock ⏰ drinking 5 hrs sleep 😴 then ice cold beer for breakfast , and food is a no no Cos you throw it all up body wants alcohol not 🍱 food. My Doctor once told me that only 10% of heavy drinkers suffer with hangovers the other 80% don’t suffer any thing apart from liver and the rest of your organs kidneys pancreatic burn out and as you know the only organ to recover from heavy drinking is the liver can heal and depending how badly damaged by the user can return to normal functioning. Once you cease drinking, However for some it’s two late.

Hi! I am 12 days clean and sober after drinking heavily (including in the morning to stop the shakes). I found the first 3/4 days absolutely awful to get through with moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms. I was struggling each hour not to pick up. I found talking through what I was going through very helpful. I took a sleeping aid as I was going up to 3 nights without sleep during my drinking and during the first week of quitting. I also gave a family member my car keys and bank card so I physically couldn’t buy booze. 12 days in and I feel amazing. Sleeping for 6/7 hours solid. Hardly any anxiety. My skin looks better, I have so much energy and I feel hopeful instead of suicidal. I have been through AA, therapy and rehab. They didn’t work for me, sadly. I just had to get to my rock bottom. I hope not to drink again. But I’m just taking it a day at a time. Thank you for listening.

[@charlienelson2002]

Hi James. Thank you. Today I completed day 37 with no alcohol. I didn't find alcohol till my mid 40's, and after loss, grief & PTSD, I drank fairly heavily on & off for a few years. Several 30, 60, 90 odd days of abstaining yet often some pain triggers & back I have dived down the rabbit hole. Last time I went deeper than the rabbits dare descend, I found the basement and stayed there for 15 days. It scared the living daylights out of me. Perhaps I needed to see how horrible & painful the basement was to realise that I will never return to that grim, imbibing space. Never. As you state - the first 10 days (for me) were unpleasant. Toxins leaving the body, body odour no matter how many showers, night & day sweating, irritability, nausea, foggy, lack of focus, feelings of shame, hazy non-memories of 15 days drunk to block out pain. And yes, disrupted sleep & lack of it. I drank gallons of pure water, forgave myself, held onto the fear of the basement and slowly I saw my colour returning, brighter eyes, better sleep, slow cravings for salad items. Patience and not trying to achieve too much was positive along with naps, copious litres of water, vitamin supplements until the cravings for greens & healthy foods kicked in. I'm a different person at day 37. I have support, I understand triggers, I walk, I continue to hydrate and now sleep deeply with dreams. I am filling with optimism, a hopeful promise of a better tomorrow than today, and on the journey I will remain. I confess my talk & words have been cheap in the past with relapses however I'm dedicating time each day to recovering, resting, reading, checking in with said support circle & planning day-to-day. Alcohol is poison in pretty labelled bottles. A kombucha, a switchel, a coffee and pure water serve me well and are far more prettier. Glad I have found your channel tonight...much to explore. Peace to you, James. Michael

Five years without a drink, after forty years of alcohol. Best move ever. Me reason why I stopped was. I was at a wedding and seen five x alcoholic friends having a great time dancing and singing. Me drunk thinking I was having a great time. Realised I wasn’t. Decided then to stop the next day. Happy days. Remember hardest part to stop alcohol is your friends accepting you don’t drink no more. When they do, the rest is manageable.

[@DJCypha]

I quit alcohol completely for 2 years, not one single drink. I felt exactly how he describes and then some. I was the healthiest, happiest and fittest I had ever been. I have since started drinking again, yet not as frequently and do enjoy a drink every now and then , especially with a nice meal. Those 2 years were definitely worth it. At the very least it taught me to enjoy alcohol in moderation. Obviously not everyone can do this, neither could I at one point that is why I stopped. I wouldn’t get down on yourself for not being able to quit completely. You can certainly mitigate against the worst effects of alcohol with a healthy lifestyle (food and exercise) and a disciplined approach when you do drink (don’t drink to excess or everyday for no reason). Asking yourself why you do drink is also important, you’ll soon figure out if it’s for the wrong reasons. The funny thing was when I was not drinking at all I did not miss alcohol at all, the only thing I missed was the taste of beer. So much so that I would drink the occasional non alcoholic beer to quench that desire. Spirits and everything else was so unappealing it was laughable and to an extent they still are. I like beer and good wine (the nicer kind) and the occasional cocktail but you won’t see me downing straight spirits anymore 🤮 🍷 Good luck to you all. One day at a time!

There is a "honeymoon" period early in sobriety where people feel euphoric and productive, etc. I was working out hard and eating good, etc. for a few weeks and then things slipped back to normal and the sobriety was challenged. I read somewhere that the most normal time for relapse is around the three month mark which is where you are. Just another sneaky booze devil mindfuck going on there. "The 100 day number is a nice round number in your head, a milestone really. You've shown that you've got this, you're body is detoxed, and you've gotten over this thing. Why not just enjoy a glass of wine, responsibly of course!".....that's some booze devil talk, there will be much more going forward, just learn to recognize it and don't listen.

I’m drinking everything I have left in the house tonight. Going to fall into that hangover and not go back. I stocked up on coffee snacks and cigarettes. I need to get sober so bad. This video is inspiring me to feel like crap and feel better soon. Thank you!

[@Mark-gn5rw]

[@jomaimendoza1631]

removing alcohol toxins was rough for the first few days but i feel great now, thanks

[@JamesSwanwick]

Keep the feeling. Stay AF

[@garymarkham2258]

I’m afraid of failure, like everyone I’m sure. And I’m afraid of not being myself anymore. I don’t drink ridiculous amounts anymore …. But I drink habitually, and I don’t know what I’ll be like as that different person. I don’t want to be boring etc…. I feel insecure about it all, and I haven’t even TRIED to quit yet. Thankyou for your sincere, down to earth video. It’s excellent ….

[@JamesSwanwick]

You can do this. Thank you

[@rpmcmurphey927]

It feels "boring " for a while, but picking up brand new hobbies/activities that you haven't tried before is helpful, especially since the activities we used to do usually involved being buzzed or drunk.... Finding things to do that never was tained by alcohol really helps a lot

[@joggydboss]

Sober since 07/31/2011 one day at a time…my name is Jaime, I’m an alcoholic and give my higher power credit for another sober day.

[@martboogie]

Quitting drinking is so easy. I've done it at least 100x. Here I go again.....

[@JamesSwanwick]

@Eonian Sage Yessir!

[@kateybear8323]

Day 1. I've wanted to quit for a long time but I keep making excuses. That ends today. I know I'm slowly killing myself and I don't want to die. I'm writing this as a promise to myself so I don't go back. Today is the day.

[@JamesSwanwick]

Awesome. DM me and I would love to support you start and stay alcohol-free: [e-mail]

[@RuebenBennett]

I've sobered up before with 1 or 2 month goals. My longest stretch was 2.5 months. I'm doing sober October! I'm considering giving it up all together just to see what happens. Day 1 has been just terrible as I got trashed yesterday with friends. Thanks for the inspiring video. Wish me luck!

14 days ago, I spent 2 days and nights in bed, with tremors and constant, excruciating anxiety. I thought it would never pass. I was on a weeklong binge of Vodka. I drank about 6 liters that week. Everything was dark and miserable. Wake up every 15 minutes, drink a few shots and sleep another 15 minutes. (During my binge.) I've been 2 weeks completely sober, and while I have no issues with beer, hard alcohol destroys me. I drink far too quickly, and for too long. Anyhow, every day now, I have more energy, I'm not texting old girlfriends with desperate messages of inadequacy, and I'm up doing what I love. I do notice my appetite is coming back in a big way. When drinking I'd just drink like crazy, eat and then get sick. Now I eat whenever I want, which is all the time, and I feel awesome. Great video. Thank you!

[@JamesSwanwick]

In one hour it will be 8 days no drinking for me!! feel great I want to experience life on the other side!

[@eileensnow6153]

I’m on day 8 myself right now and I don’t feel any different, but I can say at least my soul feels a little lighter. Just shedding the guilt of drinking too much is quite the novel feeling!

u still going strong?

[@laurenfarmer1981]

I've been sober almost 2 weeks, drink 4 bottles of wine a night for about 4 years and put on so much weight along with many other things. Sleep still no great, but definitely feel less foggy in the head, and some more energy

[@craigs19721972]

Wow!!! 4 bottles of wine a night!! I tried 3 bottles once only and then drunk 2 bottles of wine a day and now about 2 bottles of wine a week now. So slowly reducing it.

[@charliedillon1400]

Sounds crazy but you weren't on the liquor so that's good. Still that's a lot of gross wine hangovers I bet.

[@dannorton6611]

I quit drinking three days ago. My stomach has already improved. I had the most productive day I can remember today. I feel honest, and undefeated. Only a bit nervous at first, but that is already getting better. I like how you present your case for giving my myself 7 to 10 days. My thoughts are changing toward my drinking past every minute. Thank You. I am encouraged and aware.

[@bomgeriji8153]

I have also having huge stomach issues. Burning bloating pain its killing me..

[@georgedavila6927]

Probably the worst mistakes in my life happened with alcohol in my life, I’m a free person now and for sure I don’t want to ha a alcohol in my life again

For any of you struggling, I have to say that reading the book ‘This Naked Mind’ changed my life.

[@JamesSwanwick]

I've read this too. Yes, it is a good book. Thank you for the recommendation.

Sidney Sheldon. One of my favourite book. Read it thrice.

Great video. I liked when you said “ stay the course “ and “ short term pain for long term gain. Amen I’m a few days into stopping and it’s hard but I will stop.

[@komaedanagito4real]

I use to pride myself on my smooth, porcelain-like skin, my high energy, good memory and great mood. I need to go back to this. I stopped drinking almost a year ago and my skin became flaky. but then became smooth and springy again. My drinking problem came back after my older brother passed away though. It’s gotten worse and now that my mother just passed away a few weeks ago I know I need a new start. I MUST STOP NO MATTER WHAT. There is no upside for me consuming this much alcohol... It use to be vodka when I was young, then gin and now the cheapest whiskey I can find. It’s disgusting what I will consume in the pursuit of comfort. I’m going to stop.
