It's amazing how our bodies can recover from the poisons that we put in them. A lot of people are told by doctors that all their organs are shutting down, and when they quit using alcohol or drugs, the body starts to heal itself. My dad died of cirrhosis of the liver because he wouldn't stop drinking.

By the time i reached 28 years, i was drinking 2 bottles of Scotch whiskey a day. I did give up and after a week, i was in a mental hospital, because i was hallucinating and was a danger. I only stayed in for 3 weeks, and was deemed safe to go out. I had to have liver function tests every 2 months, as my liver was damaged. I would then see my GP a week after the tests to get the results. After the third sets of tests i was told my liver had repaired. My GP then told me i could drink beer as this was not addictive. 3 years later i was drinking 24 cans of Special Brew, a day, a type of lager sold in the UK. Hideous drink, my weight had dropped to 91lb, because i was just not eating, and had become extremely ill. With the help of my wife i managed to get a home detox, and by the Grace of God, i have now been clean and sober for the best part of 35 years. I know how hard it is to stop drinking, hardest thing i have ever done for myself in my life, so for those who are struggling to give up, best wishes, hope you all achieve sobriety and may your Gods watch over and Bless you.

Certain hospitals and detox centers have some good ways to help monitor your health and provide medications to assist you through detox. It's very difficult and alcohol can be dangerous to detox off. It sounds like you have a really strong mindset to quit. I just had someone in his 60's drinking 2L of vodka everyday. He soon coded (heart attack) at the hospital soon after getting him there. He didn't make it. The reality is brutal, but it's hard seeing people go through that. All his family left him. He was living on an inflatable mattress in an apartment and not getting up to use the bathroom. Empty bottles everywhere. It's tragic that people go through that. His neighbor called 911 because he was the only one who cared. Whatever you're going through I hope that you find the strength to quit. Fill your life with awesome adventures and great people.

My husband has been sober for almost 4 years and I understand how difficult it was for him to chose his family over addiction as he tried but failed before and already lost his family once; his first wife and daughter due to alcohol. We are in love and he constantly tells me he is the happiest he has ever been even though it’s sometimes still hard to stay sober. I love him so much and I am so very proud of him. Every time we are in a social setting that he turns down a drink or just asks for something non alcoholic he looks at me and winks and mouths I love you. I nearly tear up every time. He’s even gone out alone and he’ll text me I love you and sends me a pic if his non booze drinks when he does that and I am not there to see it. Even his first wife is so grateful and happy because he knows he’s a better dad to their daughter. Stay strong and know that every single minute is a huge win.

Definitely. I was there myself. I'll tell ya, if you wanna know if hell is real, keep drinking. It gets way worse than this. I somehow survived, (yes, I'm sober now and in my mid fifties) but I was in and out of the hospital 5 times over a two-yr period. I was so bad that I had to set the alarm every 20 minutes for a sip or all hell would break loose. I was not just shaking, but my head was pounding, my thoughts were completely haywire, the upper right quadrant of my gut was tbrobbing - the liver - and the pancreas (acute hepatitis and pancreatitis). I'd crap myself because it was just all black liquid that I couldn't hold in, I had constant nosebleeds (platelets), I would keep a pale nearby because I often threw up while trying to force vodka down my throat... The last time I went to the ER and my BP was 190/120. I needed friends to take me because I couldn't walk. How I survived, I have no clue, but it took those 5 hospitalizations, losing my job of twenty years (of course), several stints at the local psych hospital and a very expensive rehab to get sober. My doctor said I am a walking miracle. It may be a behavioral problem to start with, but once you start getting nervous (at all) without a drink, you are officially physically addicted - that's your nervous system overcompensating at lowering your GABA level because the chronic consumption of alcohol has artificially raised it - a change that will never reverse because your nervous system has a "memory" called longterm potentiation - so, once addicted, always addicted. There are no exceptions to this rule. It can take decades like it did with me or just a couple of years like it did with a friend of mine - who was so bad she jumped off of a bridge to be free of it. Yes, she's dead. Some people - perhaps the majority can drink socially, but anyone who abuses it long enough is guaranteed to become addicted. Glad these warnings are sinking in. And also, thank you for making me feel compelled to tell you my story - I still need to remind myself. Stay well, my friend.

My problem is the next day when I wake up from a night of drinking is that I won’t eat any food and I will keep drinking more booze, it might be a blessing in disguise because it starts making me shut down.. I am currently trying to work on my sobriety, the last episode was 3 weeks ago. The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem. I will pray for all the people out there with the same problem that I have, may god bless your soul.

My husband had surgery and was put into a room at the hospital. The man in the bed next to him looked 12 months pregnant. He said his liver was bad and he was going to have surgery and get better so he could go home. His wife and 12 year old son came to visit and that broke me in half to see this boy looking at his dad in the bed, knowing there was no liver surgery and his dad was going to die. My husband was sent home on Wednesday and the man died acouple weeks later. His wife was the manager of a store in town and she offered me her husband's medical equipment for my husband 😢 She was absolutely devestated as she told me about the alcoholism. He wasnt ever violent, just self-medicating for depression and he wouldnt go seek help. His son was inconsolable. So sad and preventable!

My dad died last year in June from liver cirrhosis. He was sick for a long time. He would drink every night after work, but he had been doing that his entire life. When he retired at 63, he was sick with bad migraines every day caused by a severe eye injury he got during eye surgery a few years before he died. So, he was drinking more and more to help with the pain. He told me and my mom that he didn't want to go to a doctor because he didn't want to end up like his parents or his older brother, where they drag your life out for potential years of misery just to have more time. He had made his peace a long time ago and just wanted to go at home with all of his family around. So, that's what we did. About 2 years after he retired, he died, and the way you explained it in the video is exactly how it happened. I remember lying beside him and trying to breathe at the same time and the same way he was breathing, and it was almost impossible. It hurt so bad. So, the best decision you can make in life is to just stay away from alcohol. Also, my dad was a high-functioning alcoholic, and nobody that visited ever even knew he was drinking. I never saw him drunk a single time, nor angry. He was an amazing and loving dad.

Yeah but its impossible not to smell it or see it on you especially if there not a single part of the day when he's sober. It has a very definitive scent.

Maybe people who don't take care of themselves have a distinct smell, but I never noticed my dad smelling different or weird until he was really close to dying. That's because he had become too sick to move and couldn't shower or take care of his hygiene on his own.

Like I was not having urges anymore. Started going to the gym. Started loving again the experience of sweating and perspiring. Ended up drinking last Friday night and Saturday night. This time I didn't fight over those urges or anything, but just wanted to drink and ended up getting drunk. Now fighting again. Today it's the 5th day. So far, all these months, my longest record was of 4 days. 5th day I used to have the urge and used to hit the bar. Now, I've realised that I need to keep fighting and making sure the night gets occupied with something so that I don't end up getting drunk. This realisation was as per the first time I was fighting with the "urge" and ended up breaking the 7th day streak of being sober.

Sometimes we need to recalculate, break out of the old constraints, take account, take cover, build bridges, and together we pave new pathways -and help each other get home. Much love and respect.

I’ve been trying to sober up for the last 6 months now & it’s been one of the harder things I didn’t think I’d have to fight w myself about.

[@McWeldShit]

The struggle is real. What drives you to drink?

[@jeffgreen7897]

Stay strong and keep it one day at a time. A good sponsor told me that all I had to do was make it through each day until my head hit the pillow then thank God I stayed sober for the day. When I woke up, I asked God to help me stay sober for another day, I started stopping when I was 25. I am now 59 years old and I have 17 years sobriety. If you do the math you’ll see that it doesn’t come out right. You say I was the kind of alcoholic that could stay sober for six months then I would go out one night. I will stay sober for two years and then I would go out for one night. I would stay sober for another year and go out for one night, my sponsor told me that I have some kind of reservation that if some certain situation happens, I might drink. He taught me that I can’t have any reservations about drinking every time I relapsed and drank again it was harder and harder to stop. I think God that I am so over today. Hang in there. I hope this helps.

[@leekoss7083]

I was convinced by my doc to stop drinking about 5 or 6 weeks ago- never even a moderate drinker I’d say… but sometimes daily, especially during Covid. She said that, as a senior, I absolutely had to stop. I was able to stop without withdrawals. Then about 3 weeks ago, she told me I needed cut down drinking coffee - one cup only before noon - because I’ve had insomnia for most of my life (Ironically, more or less, after I began drinking multiple cups of coffee a day.) Just about last week I totally started feeling better. My eyes don’t feel all dry. I’m more relaxed and I believe I can order my thoughts better. So now I’ve cut out coffee. Still some insomnia - I’m probably still detoxing from the coffee. Lol! Thank you for your videos.❤

@faridyazid. yah, Islam has that rule. The strictness and order involved in following the Five Pillars & the Hadíth can be very difficult for some people. But don’t throw people away: G_d is forgiving. It’s possible that a person with addiction may overcome addiction, adversity, and gain learning from that jihad. Such a person probably will help others during their struggle and/or once they win ❤️🙏

My Dads going through this currently…. He shakes, can’t talk and is short of breath. Also in complete denial that the 20 shots he drinks a day has anything to do with it…. Trying to get him treatment but the system is fucked

[@FHSBlackSwarm]

3 bottles a day at my worse but definitely can blame the alcohol for it. Been off and on for 8 years like this tho at only 27 and was told last year my liver enzymes are way too high. Most annoying issues are the itchy dry bleeding skin. Scariest issue is when I feel like I'm having a heart attack. 90 beats for me has been quite normal for a while tho

Salvation Army has a free program 💜

[@mattdad8429]

Only if you go to an insurance based program. That can get tricky; but there are rehabs in virtually any medium sized city. If he wants treatment there's not much stopping him from going. You call and ask if they have a bed available and then you check in. It's no harder than getting a hotel room.

[@yesher12]

My HS sweetheart died in February 2020 of severe alcoholism. I would talk to him from time to time and he would tell me how distended his liver/stomach area was and that he didn't think he would live past 50. He died before his 50th birthday. I live in Texas and he lived in Chicago, so I hadn't seen him in more than a decade. I had no idea how serious it had gotten. I remember asking him about rehab and in hindsight I feel as though he would dodge the question. I pray that he is in peace and that his two children are doing ok. If you are drinking or doing drugs please get some kind of help. Please.🙏🏼🙏🏼

This was horrifying, as I witnessed this hands on six months ago and it was the most frightening thing I've ever experienced. after drinking about a half gallon every other day for 15 years.i thought i could quit cold turkey lol.the tremendous shaking caused me to hallucinate the most vivid visions of someone chasing me through my house,i run out side and collapsed and thought I was dying,probably soezuring,admitted myself in the hospital and been clean ever since. Stay 💪

Lmao I'm sorry but the part about getting chased was funny. Hope those years of drinking didn't do much permanent damage.

[@carlosamador8294]

​@@maliprince7853 Alcohol withdrawal WILL cause you to hallucinate and hear things, the next step is usually a seizure.

[@kevinkeeling1990]

Thats crazy... I didn't know about hallucinations when trying to quit the first time. And was scared as shit all night. Didn't get any sleep. Kept hearing voices and fighting off in the distance. And saw multiple people enter my room at night while I slept. Im trying to ween myself off slower this time. But now I'm honestly scared for my life and want this to actually stick this time. Keep me in your prayers or just good vibes. Whatever you believe. But I need the help. I've only had 4 beers in the last 3 days and no shots. I plan to cut more and more out as time goes on until I can throw the trash out of my life... Side note, hitting some green a few times, really helped with the shakes and nausea my first go.

​@@kevinkeeling1990 you can do it. Praying when your scared helps no matter what you believe in. I used to drink so much I had to wean myself off slowly. Get your hands on some dandelion tea for the liver and magnesium also. Best of luck to you. You got this!
