Real Day in the life of an Alcoholic/Addict! Horror!!

I have had more addicted days than sober. Turning 60 this summer and I really started declining in health and withdrawal became unbearable. I was sober for 4 months last year. I detoxed Dec 18th, 2023 and haven't touched a drop. Would love to get a full year in sober.

And that drunk man who stumbled his way out of Aldi with a liter of wine is now a healthy father, grandfather and even a youtuber who gives hope to people. That's truly the beauty of life. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE! Thank you <3

Tim: Thank you for your raw, honest testimony. I am on day 13 and I feel good. I detoxed at home over a weekend (not recommended) but I couldn't take off work to go to inpatient rehab (I did that already in 2017) and I couldn't do it again. I go to meetings almost everyday and I am feeling stronger. I have a therapist lined up to help me understand my insanity. Last night, I went to my nephew's wedding and I had a GREAT time. The best part was waking up at dawn, hangover free and being able to remember ALL of it. I am subscribed.

Thanks so much for this. I'm 13 months sober and loving it. I only ever drank on weekends but at the end I would basically work from home Friday on my laptop, go to the bottleshop on my morning break and load up on beer/wine/spirits/mixers and start drinking at my laptop at 2pm. Then I'd keep drinking until about 6pm where I'd head out for the night to meet people or even just go out drinking by myself. Around 11pm or midnight I'd come home and watch youtube and keep drinking until the sun came up. It would now be Saturday morning. I'd keep drinking (no sleep, no food) until about midday when I thought I should do something with my day and would stumble to my local pub and drink more for a few hours. Then I'd stumble home and pass out Saturday afternoon. I'd wake up probably 1am Sunday morning and couldn't sleep, exhausted, shaky, sweaty, hungover. Eventually I'd crawl out of bed and lay on the couch and spend all day there, trying to stop the shakes and eat some food and try to get some sleep. I never drank on Sunday's because I had work the next day. I wouldn't start to feel normal until Thursday. Repeat the cycle for years. NEVER going back.

I recently came out of rehab 2 weeks to this day for heavy drinking the withdrawals were too much, I needed this video today as I could feel myself about to relapse last night and I didn't (thankgod) and i seen this today and it helped remind me off the horror of alcoholism 2 weeks sober today. Thanks for your videos Tim.

Wow. Thanks for this Tim. I’m a man pushing 50 and I can’t remember how it got so bad, but it did. What you just described was my horrific life. I thought I was dying every day. I was drinking 2 fifths of cheap vodka a day and existing in misery and terror. I used to be a successful, well paid guy also. Then alcohol slowly turned me into an unemployable bum. I connect with you on many levels. I’m almost 2 years alcohol free now and the whole world looks so different and full of hope for me. Everything is good. And you know what is the most delicious thing? SOBER SLEEP!!! It’s so good, Tim! Actually sleeping soundly with no sweating, no hallucinations, no vomiting, no crushing anxiety….and then waking up free from withdraws and full of energy and good cheer - it’s like winning the lottery the moment my eyes open every single morning. I am SO grateful for my sobriety. Thanks for this video, I’m happy for both of us that we are still sober today.

Newly subscribed, thanks for your sobriety, Tim!! You're helping LOTS of people. My recovery from alcoholism is ongoing, and I have to honor anyone who's working on it. Your wisdom is so useful!

Quit 2 summers ago, when i was told i had cirrosis and early alzheimer. Cravings comes and goes, but havent caved in.

Wow right on the money, the filthy sheets, sweat, drinking not to get sick, puking. Absolute nightmare.

I wouldnt wish addiction on anyone , its a circle of pain , im heavily addicted to opiates and its pure hell

I cant seem to get passed 8 months sober.... ive been drinking 5 weeks now I keep cutting down but I feel really ill im scared... I need some reassurance , everytime I cut down I feel so depressed and sick but this relapse is worse im so scared this time ... thanks for your videos

Tim, you have been an inspiration for me and I can’t appreciate your channel enough. 28 yr old here who has been struggling with alcoholism for the past 10 years. I watch your videos for guidance and strength. What you’re doing is admirable and inspiring and I can’t thank you enough.

Have a lovely time with your family. Blessings Tim ❤

My father and brother were both street drinkers (think that's what their called.) They both had severe mental health issues and they slipped into addiction. My childhood was of trauma and hurt. I was angry at them for a very long time (they both died many years ago due to alcoholism) I'm not angry anymore, they couldn't give me what I needed and that was a Father and brother due to their illnesses. I wish they were here so I could tell them I forgive them. You are an inspiration I'm sure to many people with addiction. Well done ❤

You are an amazing person!

I would have a few beers before going to work after a night of drinking. Wouldnt shower, probably brushed my teeth, but was wearing the same clothes day after day. After I got sober, a coworker told me I would smell like a homeless person

God bless you sir. Thank you for your testimony

Thank You Tim for your honest account of how an alcoholic gets through a day and the horriible feelings and experiences you went through. I think a lot of people really discount what it a really into it, alcoholism is about. Like he's just an alky it is his own fault Low life loser.. They have no idea just how destructive and serious the alcoholic condition is. l lost the love of my life to Alcoholism two years ago. He came back into my life after 20 years. He was at Stage Five and so ill, He didn't have the capacity or capabilty to get well and had given up. Beyond help. Absolutely hearbreaking You look as though you are on the mend Tim. Noticed you had a bit of colour in your cheeks as my mother would say. Sending love and big hope Tim for success in the future and your healing Your family really love you You are lucky Wish you every success Tim. 😻👍🌟 Karen in Manchester Xxx

Frank Skinner was a terrible alcoholic. He got flu so couldn't drink for a week so he decided to stop for another week and another and another. Eventually he loved the feeling so it just continued. Fun fact he stopped drinking when I was less than two weeks old.

Great Message😊
