Dude, I REALLY sympathize with you right now ❤ My dog of 14 years was my *ONLY* friend in the ENTIRE world. She saved me from s-cide. She saved me from c-tting myself. She saved me from relapsing.

It's absolutely impossible but I PLEDGE to make her proud and I'll forever carry my Mitzy in my heart ❤

Animals are family, too...the grief is exactly the same for me as when another family member passes. Slayer, none of us expect perfection from each other. What you did with this channel is you created a space for yourself and a large group of friends to support one another. We will never judge you for being human. We will pray for you and extend a hand if you want it. If you stop creating videos, I hope it's because you want to practice self care or are simply too busy. I can get behind that and I'd be happy to send you an email or something to check in on you, my friend!! But don't stop because of shame or for feelings of unworthiness. You are a wonderful human. Emphasis on the human. And thank you for that and for your honesty. Rest in peace, Dooby. I pray that you are with god now and full of his love. Remember the love that you showed him in life and try your best to take comfort in that, Slay ❤❤❤❤

You are a role model, for sure. And… you’re honest. Majorly respectable quality. It’s not easy to lose a friend (w 2 or 4 legs) I’ve been there to hold a couple of my pets when they crossed over. It was heart-wrenching. But I did it, bc no one should be alone when they die if it can be helped. It’s an honor really. Plus I saw the looks of trust in their eyes while being in a foreign place. I just tried to look as reassuringly at them as I could, and held them close until they were gone. Then the waterfall came. It makes you stronger though, I’ll tell you that. And yes, it will prepare you for when a family member or a close friend passes. I believe relapse makes us stronger too though. Sometimes you have to know what you don’t want in order to know what you do want. And if you’re stubborn, like a lot of us (myself certainly included) you may have a few more rodeos than other folks. It’s no big deal though. Check out any therapist channels associated with addiction (Put the shovel down is great) they will tell you that it’s a normal part of the process. Doesn’t mean any of us should get slack about trying to reach your goal, but also don’t beat yourself up either. Just keep praying earnestly, you’ll get the help you need. May your furry friend rest in peace ❤

So sorry to hear about your dog brother!! I’ve had to gone through that and it sucks!! Don’t beat yourself up over having a lapse. See it as getting off the wrong exit temporarily but then you quickly got back on the highway. I had several relapses and lapses before sobriety finally stuck and I will happen for you also. Maybe call 3 random AA hotlines a day and talk to 3 other alcoholics a day. I do that because you’re gonna find a lot of other people like you who will sympathize. Also, I’m really proud of you for going to the doctors because I have that same anxiety. It took me eight months after getting sober to finally go and get my blood work. It was one less thing I had to worry about because I turned out to be OK except that I still had a high liver enzyme count which they said could take anywhere from nine months to a year to settle down. LD is great! I’ve talked to him a few times on Facebook and if you want shoot me your Facebook handle and I’ll send you an invite and my info and if you want, I’ll chat with you. Hang in there you’re doing really good brother!! I think you’re doing better than you realize :) PS. I place music for a living and did some punk rock stuff for a skateboarding show on VICE called King of the Road several years ago and…wait for it….it was sponsored by Thrasher Magazine. ;)

Oh slayer I felt that, I know how hard that decision is but you absolutely made the right choice. That happened to two of my dogs all of sudden. Fly high Bert. He’s playing and running…care free. I have always held my dogs when I say goodbye it’s heartbreaking but I will always do that. They’re absolutely our family and they feel our love. I always say momma will always love you and I’ll see you again. It’s ok to let go. Look Slay you don’t ever need to feel ashamed for being human. You’re not a hypocrite at all. I appreciate your honesty I really do. If you decide to stop doing YT videos I understand if it’s for you to get yourself stronger in your sobriety. I’ll send you an email to check-in. I consider the relationship that we’ve built here a friendship no BS. So I will always wish you well but I get it. You need to take care of yourself first, your health, family, and career, etc. You’re super intelligent Slay, you know what has to be done you’re going to find your way. The fact that you didn’t go off the rails shows that’s these changes are helping and that’s progress. I knew you were struggling and just hoped you wouldn’t get sick. You say that it’s tough to help others when you haven’t been perfect well I respectfully disagree. I’ve made changes with my drinking because of people like you, LD, and others that are f’ing brave to share their experiences. I’m 💯 better in my journey for hearing your story. Have I been perfect?? Nope, but I get back up and so do you. I didn’t even know I had a problem until I started reflecting because of people like you. Well I’ve been just going on and on and will end with this. You have made an impact in my life and I will always be grateful that our paths (virtually) crossed. Just think about that for a sec. That’s really incredible on how many you have helped. You’ll always have this chapter in your story. As long as you want, I’ll be here to support you…on this 🚂 train. I’m sending you peaceful and healing vibes, as always Slay. 💜 ❤️‍🩹

No. I honestly don't think some realise the enormity of losing a loved pet. I lost my favourite girl (Daisy) & and I've never known pain like it. She was my best friend. I can 100% understand how it sent you under & to the point it did ✨️🙏🏻✨️

Wish there was a way to reach through this phone and hug you! I totally get it! I had to put my boxer/pit girl down on April 18th. We knew she had a huge growth on her belly but did not appear to be in pain. It finally happened though. The whole family went along to say goodbye. Slayer...relapse happens! Definitely keep the videos coming. The more you talk and communicate, the better. Yes, there are many negative jerks on the web. You are right, always gonna be there. I see so much potential in you. When you feel like a relapse is on the horizon, hop on here and talk. If LD can do it, anyone can! Its not easy I know. Deepest sympathy on the loss of your dog. I still think I'm hearing my dog in my house. Hang on Slayer.

Hello man! All I wanna say is, please don't give up on your channel. I can guarantee you are helping people all around the world. And if you can help at least ONE person, believe me it is worth it. I understand you, don't be too hard on yourself and keep going. If you move two steps forward and one back, it is still progress. It is what matters. If it takes longer, don't be afraid. It is the human nature: we all are vulnerable and weak, at times. I BELIEVE you can do it. Not sure if you are a Christian yourself but don't forget what Saint Paul said: Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I know it is a tough battle, who knows maybe it is your life goal, to be sober. If you put it that way, focus on being sober and all the rest will fall into place. I say it myself because I feel I'm on the same boat. You encourage me as well and it is good to know you're not alone, and I'm not alone. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. Remember that. I'm here for you. Cheers

Pets are family. You made the right decision on Bert's behalf. It's NOT easy, especially with all that chaos around you. Bad habits are hard to break, because they're fun, or at least seem like they're fun. Good habits, like cleaning your room, taking out the trash or doing laundry are easy to break. What does that tell you? The good thing from all this insanity is that you're cognizant of your faults, and more importantly, you're humble. Be humble, because we're all flawed.

I'm sorry about your dog man. It's hard. We recently had to put our dog down too. He was 15 years old. It sucks... It's also very hard to not drink when there is an event like the 4th of July or any other holiday where people drink. The best thing to do is to just not go to those things. But don't give up you can always start again. If you relapse just remember you can get back up and start again. You won't run out of chances to start the road to sobriety. I know you can do it.

Ps..you can't pour from an empty cup. Do you have a sponsor?

I absolutely agree, I have not yet found a sponsor and I really need to.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog. The word "pet" doesn't apply to our little animal family members...they're as equal as any member of the family. Relapse/lapse isn't good but the fact you didn't go on a bender HAS to be some sort of improvement. Like you said, you think NOW is the time you get fully sober for life...it's sort of a minor miracle that you DIDN'T go on a huge bender and use the death of your dog as an excuse because many people would feel justified. You're learning, you'll be stronger from this.

I agree with you brother, they are so much more than just pets. My dog almost felt like a son or nephew to me. I appreciate the condolences man thank you. Also honestly yea I didn’t realize that till I started reading all of your guys comments and I’m like wow they are right. I’m always very tough on myself but it is a slight miracle that I cut it off after that one night. Gotta look at things with the glass half full right? Thanks as always brother, hope you are well. ✌️

This community is the best man!

Yo whats up? I bet you felt so awful that morning after, dude, I know that sucked. Anyway, I started reading more and it really helped with my motivation in general. Do you like to read? I recommend Rich Dad Poor Dad. Its basically what we should have learned in school about how to handle money. Doesn’t have to be self-help, just read stuff that you want to learn.

I do enjoy reading man, kind of crazy actually that you bring up that particular book. My friend actually got me that book years ago and at the time I was too young to look into it, but now that you brought it up it sparked my memory. I’ll have to pull it out and dust it off and get to reading it! Appreciate this comment and understanding man.

Brother Do you have a sponsor? You trying to do these steps? I really hope you will start and finish the steps one day.

I don’t have a sponsor unfortunately, I went to the doctor yesterday and even my doctor was telling me “slayer get a sponsor already what are you doing?” I think it’s high time. I’d also like to work fully through the steps, I always have but never have followed through.

@@Slayer-7373 I just got 3 years sober a few days ago and just spoke at 5 meeting this week celebrating with my friends. I can sponsor or even temporarily sponsor you. I can give my info over email if you would like brother. Get into the steps or you will relapse: do the work so you can heal.

Man you got a lot of shame in you for some reason. Dunno if thats therapy but it is what happened in mine. I had big problems going to therapy and keeping sober for longer than week-two and it was problematic because in group therapy you always greet other people with "abstinence since X" and I always said "oh yeah I slipped on the weekend oops haha got shitfaced dummy me". Also they kinda require you to stay sober because therapy supposedly wont work if you dont, so... Dunno man, I literally felt shamed out of therapy and left it. I felt both worse than other therapy goers and at the same time I felt like I was some kind of danger to them, because it might be a trigger if you hear that somebody else been drinking all the time. But we should focus on today. Today not drinking is infinitely better than yesterday was drinking. Do as you wish and feel is best for you but if you wanna know I quite like the channel. About the dog you are right. When I buried my dog I wanted to make a small cross for him but my sister said its not necessary. Why? Because all dogs go to heaven so they dont need one 💔

I definitely do brother. I carry a lot of shame and guilt, embarrassment. I’m often extremely hard on myself, not feeling good enough. I can also relate to leaving therapy because of that, being too ashamed to admit I messed up. But we really got to just own it and be honest with not only ourselves but with others. Admitting to y’all what happened has taken this weight off my shoulders, to just get it out there to people who care. I consider you guys friends, I love replying and reading y’all’s feedback. Thank you so much. Also awe 🖤 I do believe our pups are in heaven right now, running free in an open field just waiting for us to meet them again one day. Much love

Soooo....goals??? You say lots of stuff to change. I'm gonna give you this advice.... One thing at a time.... don't move on until the change is concrete. Also don't look back over your shoulder....you cannot walk forward with your eyes looking backwards. I'm sorry about your best bud. I've had that happen also. It HURTS. I hope my advice concerning your future is more than helpful. Just do your dead level best.....stay safe and sober. Bye for now.....

You’re definitely right Jerome… I need to take things slow and not jump into 100 different things. I have goals of going to more AA/church/supportive group, I want to try and move up in my job, I want to get a new place and new car, I really want I meet a wife one day but all of these things are going to take a lot of time. In the past I’ve tried to jump into everything right away and it always backfires. I really need to take this one step at a time, one day at a time. When I’ve done that in the past I’ve felt the most confident in my sobriety. You’re so right too I’ll never move forward if I continue to live in the past. It definitely hurts about my dog, I know he’s in a better place. You advice actually really helped me man so thank you 🙏. I will continue to try my best, thanks friend take care.

I’m not trolling you here, I’m just sharing my thoughts. I apologize if this upsets you….but you asked for feedback and here it is: You said in the video that you are a hypocrite, and in fact you are. Telling others to stay sober while you are not is the definition of hypocrisy. Just stating facts here. Getting drunk is no way to honor Bert’s memory. Throwing away your sobriety would not make your dog happy. He wouldn’t understand. Staying sober is a good way to respect Bert’s memory, to honor him and prove you care. When I was drinking (and I drank like you - to total annihilation) everyday, my dog who I love so much, wouldn’t even come to me when I called him. I wasn’t a mean drunk, I never yelled at him or hurt him in any way. I was a sloppy, piece of garbage drunk, but never a mean one. I’m just not wired to be mean to animals ever. I don’t know if he didn’t like the smell of the booze coming off me or if he didn’t like how I acted strange. I just don’t know. But he didn’t want to be around me when I was drunk and it broke my heart. I’ve been sober now for 2.5 years and all my family relationships are either healed or healing. My wife had left me when I couldn’t stop drinking. She’s been back for 2 years now. We’re happily remarried. My dog smiles every time he sees me. The thing is that you know how good sobriety is. And you know the agony of active alcoholism. You are well aware of all of it. You made a sober decision to drink on July 4th, and there is no way around that fact. With a clear head, you decided to drink. I did that many times also. I’m almost 50 years old, so I’ve been walking down the miserable road of alcoholism a lot longer than you have. Therefore, you have an opportunity to get sober while you are still young. When I was your age, I didn’t think I could ever get as bad as I did. But you already know how bad it is. That’s a positive thing. You don’t need to kid yourself that it won’t be so bad. It will be. And it gets worse each time. Only you can keep yourself sober. I hope you do. I wish nothing but good things and sobriety for you, slayer.
