"I Started Drinking at Ten Years Old" True Stories of Addiction

- From an early age, Luke noticed that fitting in with others was hard. He just couldn’t connect with others, and he didn’t understand why. He just knew that was the way it always was. Friendships were difficult. Emotionally, Luke could not find that common ground.
At the age of 10, Luke took his first drink of alcohol. As that drink went down, Luke immediately began to feel a sense of relief. He no longer felt the emotional pain he experienced daily. He could forget about how much he missed his grandmother.
Once Luke graduated from high school, he began working. This sense of independence fueled his drinking. He was of age to purchase alcohol and making his own money. He still kept his drinking hidden, though.
This pattern continued until Luke found himself drinking hourly. He was consuming two pints of vodka and a lot of beer per day. He realized that he was actually trying to kill himself. The suicidal thoughts led him to put a gun in his mouth, but thankfully, pulling the trigger was impossible.
After a moment with his father, Luke decided to call the Drug Abuse Hotline. What he thought would be a short conversation was a two-hour phone call. He was told to enter rehab and where to find a facility. Luke traveled to rehab and got through the intake process.
Recovery not only helped Luke overcome his alcohol addiction but allowed him to deal with the deep hurt he felt, as well as the underlying causes of that hurt. The staff and his roommates gave Luke the support he needed to stay alive without alcohol. Today, Luke continues to go to meetings and has support from his long-time sponsor.

Wow! 10 years is quite an early age to have started drinking. Depression is a terrible condition, but I am happy he didn't kill himself and was able to overcome it. Keep being strong.
Thank you young man. Depression and Alcoholism started for me when my Grandmother died too, I feel for you man.
Sometimes evil is what makes us soilders to fight our demons
Please pray for me I overcome addiction
Hang in there doll......you will be fine

One day at a time, it works if you work it!

Depression has never been easy, But overcoming it the wrong way will much lead you to the worst. It is always nice to hear people overcoming their biggest challenge in life. Great work!
People always think that drinking provides ESCAPE but in reality it just compounds or adds to it. I have seen many who starts small nut ended up drinking all day, It does not matter what time it is if they have lives or not. That small sip or escape grows and takes over.
This video really moved me, I don’t have a bad relationship with alcohol but i do suffer from extreme depression. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I hope one day I can enjoy living again just like you❤️
Glory be to God for the breakthrough. Getting the right help when in trouble actually make Luke overcame addiction.

You should just admit it honestly in public and try with the help, they’ll give your kids back quite soon if you do well
That's an early obsession with alcohol. Its good you came here to share this awesome information reminding us the dangers attached with alcohol.
I have had almost gone through what you have buddy ! I can relate to Every word house said, I am one month and one day sober and I have belief in myself that I will not go back to alcohol again. Never ever!
All of these stories man I’ve been listening to so many and they make me cry. The nonchalant way they talk about suicide is just how I see it just something I’ll do later in life.
Dude, your life belongs to Jesus and you were created for a purpose greater than you! Suicide is not your lot! Your life is valuable! You are worthy of love. Sending you that love right now! Be strong and run into Gods arms! He’s waiting for you! ❤️
This is a very inspiring story and I'm glad that you are able to live your life anew despite what has happened to you in the past. It's also heartwarming to hear that you are now going out to help kids for them to also not stray on the same path that you experienced.
The reason why there are some people just like Luke difficult to make relationship with other actually very common. There are introvert and extrovert emotional feeling, and Luke is part of the introvert people.
That was a beautiful story. Thank you and proud of you!!
Man, that is powerful!!
Wow that was amazing. Great story man god bless!
It is very emotional story. drink and drugs are really bad thing we should stay away from it. Thanks for sharing this video.
Keeping the addictions to alcohol in private in most of the cases ruins the life more. But, it went well with him that his father knew and guided him right and he got a successful rehab then.

Oh wow. That’s a real young age to have started indulging in alcohols. Glad for the turn around.
We are so glad too!
Thanks for sharing such a insipirational story. It will help to those who get addicted in initial age.

Drinking is not the good thing, People should understand that drinking is not the solution of any problem.
That's nothing, I started breathing at 20 seconds.
