I gave up drinking 55 days ago. I got a gym membership and started out walking on the treadmill every day for 30 minutes. I can now run again. I haven't been able to run in 15 years.

That's amazing! I know for some exercise is an amazing tool in recovery. It gets those endorphins going and combats some of that initial depression and anxiety that we feel. When we aren't used to feeling, those things can definitely feel like a ton of bricks on our shoulders. Congrats on your recovery and I hope you're still going strong.

Very inspiring video! I rededicated my life to Christ December 10th 2022 and am an alcoholic. I’ve had some slips since then but I know God is working in me. What you said about faith without works is dead hit home with me. I’ve been lax on putting in the work and only relying on prayer. I prayed yesterday for God to reveal what I was doing wrong in still succumbing to alcohol and I truly believe this is what I needed to hear.

Thank you for sharing your story. You are changing lives. Praying favor, blessing and health over you!

Good job bro. It works if you work it

Alcohol is bad. I been drinking every night. I've had enough now. I want to stop from today. Its just accepting and admitting this stuff is bad.

Very influential, we're in a battle every day

Thanx bro

What symptoms do you guys have? While drinking or during sobriety? I’m 28. I’m about a week sober. My coordination and concentration is bad off. My right side of my face near my temple gets a red line and goes numb sometimes. Have the shakes sometimes. Hard to fall asleep. Left and right side of ribs hurt. Just a lot of shit. Wondering if y’all have any of these symptoms.

How do you guys deal with the first day of withdrawals the night sweats and the nose so dry i cant even breath im recovering alcoholic im only 3 days in but im not looking back .

Go to the emergency room. For a day or 2. You need fluids. Vitamins. And valium.

Im on day 7 from a litre a day vodka but due to a very traumatic incident i slipped up 2 days not much but still. So know im at the start of day 3 including the relapse. im still having withdrawal symptoms is this normal? Thanks

Yes it is normal. I'm on day 5. And I have had seizures before......sweats. Delusional thinking. Shaking hand....tingling throughout your body....I suggest you go to the hospital for at least a day or 2. Than try to leave with a bit of valium if your lucky enough. It will still suck untill like day 30

what was the name of the book that changed ur perspective?

i really need help man. my liver feels swollen and i know something isnt right but i cant stop drinking. im only 23 years old and have drank a liter of vodka per day everyday the entire of 2023 ( usually on an empty stomach after taking my medication ) i am so worried

I don't mean any offence by this but you are never 'recovered', only ever in recovery. There is no way to be completely recovered from this disease, that is my experience and my opinion only. I think your story can be an inspiration for others. Like your T-shirt says, stay humble.

@@hugoanson2135 That's fine...I don't mind my comment being taken as strange, it is my opinion and my opinion is that no one can truly say they are 'recovered' from alcohol addiction. In the meetings there is a saying..."your disease is waiting for you in the parking lot, doing presssups, always strong enough to take advantage of you" or words to that effect. Recovering and recovery are the terms that I use about my own disease of addiction. To think of oneself as recovered is to think of yourself as immune to the disease of addiction. Nobody is immune, there is no immunity. It is a life long disease in remission. I hope that clarifies my stance.

@@hugoanson2135 My intention isn't to discourage anyone from their own journey of recovery. I think anyone in recovery is an inspiration, no matter what stage or how they are recovering. What kind of statistics?How can you measure the amount of people 'recovered' from the disease of addiction. There are plenty of studies out there on the percentage of people who relapse...that's kind of my point here. Bill Wilson himself talks about the danger of pride in one's recovery. How it has often led to many an addict relapsing. The notion that I am cured, this disease won't ever effect me again is in itself a dangerous one, in my mind.

Good video until "god" was mentioned. Downvoted it and stopped the video. 99% of the time Americans bring up, "god" they are talking about Christianity (specifically modern Christianity which has been edited and changed so far from its original barbaric origins into arguably just as insane tribalism and savagery, just with a new coat of paint for the modern world). I'm an on again, off again alcoholic. I am also a super firm Atheist and have been since about 13 years old. Nothing is ever going to change my mind on this and I have learned some of the most evil people you'll ever meet are people who claim something like, "god works through me" or that they, "follow god"... Yet there is a good 75% of those people that commit so many blue collar, white collar and predatory crimes and yet they still try to plead the case to judges, "I sinned!" as if we're just gonna let them off the hook for child molestation. I know my comment is a tangent, but these things ALWAYS cross my mind whenever I'm looking for people struggling with addiction and they instantly pull the "god" card... I will forever look down upon them as delusional. And usually I'm right on this. Just professing a belief in some wacky supernatural thing doesn't suddenly make you holier than them. For all theists who try to live this image of "purity" they are some of the angriest, vile, disgusting, cheating and above all else authoritarian people I've ever met. In groups I have met a few Atheists, which gave me hope, but then I get slapped with the WEIRDEST comments like, "I envy people who believe in god" even when I explain why its deluded they have already tuned me out. My point? If you profess a belief system, that's fine, it really is. But it should be very personal, should not cloud your day to day thoughts, and you should NEVER instil it on other people (or how the American Government is trying to do, FORCE a theocracy under their particular version of their particular god). You are the weird one, I promise you. That and, cults are powerful, no matter their numbers.

Man I wish I had your brain . I broke my ribs on my scooter and I relapsed . I can't stop it .

Ide say my rock bottom was when my best friend took his life. It was a week of straight drinking to where I was broke, wake up drink, throw up drink. I got to the point where I drank hand sanitizer at his funeral. I just didnt want to deal with it.. I wish I had a happy ending but I'm still drinking..
