FEAR, that's what i struggled with. Fear, expectation, anxiety and responsibility. I'm sober now, but i still struggle with FEAR. Good luck.☀️

hi Glenn, i could really relate to all you said. I have just under 6 months sobriety now after over 30 years of pain. I am 57 so it's never too late ,i feel and look better than i have ever done. Thank you for this reminder of where our drinking takes us. Congratulations on your sobriety,much love to you StayStrong 👆✊👊

Been through the full drinking saga, too horrendous to recall, But never touched a drop or had any desire to do so. Completely dry for the past 30 years. Now in my 90s and fully fit and active.

I have been where you are. It's a terrible place to be. 34 now and tired of it. I'm almost 3 months sober. I know if I pick up the bottle I'll be back where I was. My doctor prescribed me nortrexel I don't know if I spelled it right. It's a opiate blocker but also used for alcoholics. It calms the cravings and if you do drink you don't get the satisfaction so you drink less. I don't plan on drinking but I'm hoping this will help so I don't relapse. I've been there too many times. Thanks for your video. It helps me get through the day.

Thanks for sharing. It's an insidious problem that by the time you know it's got you it's too late. These videos help me in nearly 2 years of sobriety to make sure I never go back to drinking as I doubt my body could handle another round...

A mirror image of my story of a 30 year habit that caught up with me at aged 55, when I got carted off to hospital after vomiting blood. In hospital I started to suffer from alcohol withdrawal and was given librium, plus had an endoscopy (which is not a nice procedure). Liver function was low, thyroid function low. With medical advice, I detoxed myself at home using valium for 7 days, and then did 90 days voluntary rehab, along with attending 2 AA meetings every day. It worked and today I am over 6 months sober and fit and healthy again, and I do chair speeches at AA meetings all over London. Alcohol is the worst killer drug, by far!

I pretty much only ever binge drank on weekends but I remember occassionally I'd drink on Sundays and get wasted and I remember the fear of Monday mornings, laying there from 3am watching the clock because I was too scared to fall asleep in case I slept through my alarm but also not being able to sleep even if I wanted to. When it was time to get up, I'd be so exhausted that I could barely step into the shower and the water would sting my skin because my nervous system would be so raw from drinking all weekend. But mostly I remember the fear, that horrible dark cloud over me that made everything seem impossible. I felt like I wanted to cry the entire time and just had to push through. Walking to the train I'd be sluggish, I had a really bad feeling in my tummy that something bad was going to happen...just pure anxiety. When I got to work everything looked different, I'd feel this weird indigestion feeling in my tummy and I'd have to act like I was completely normal. My brain couldn't process anything on the screen, I'd read a sentence and have no idea what it meant (this was office work, not customer facing). After a few hours and lots of water my body would start to feel better but not amazing and I know I had the entire day ahead of me and all I wanted to do was go to bed. I'm a year and a half sober now.

Thank you for your honesty. I identify so much with what you've said. I don't know whether to feel happy that someone else has gone through the same things, or sad. Both, I think.

Thanks for sharing It help s to talk and listen to others with Alcoholism

This was a very good depiction of the madness of the disease.
-
I feel like I'm living through a Groundhog Day at the moment. I'm hoping that I will be sober one day.

It was the cover period after binge drinking to your next drink that got me. I understand that. Thank you for sharing
