All it took me was getting violently, painfully ill for a week so my withdrawals coincided with the sickness 😂 I was always afraid about that step, but once I felt better I realized it would be a waste to go back to drinking (3 bottles of wine and blackout every night) and I haven’t looked back. June 2020. I promise you can do it, stranger!
Man good job!! The universe intervened big time with this one 😂

i have three bottles of wine a week and feel guilty
I am on the same journey. I drank heavily for half my life. I have put my self through hell. I had a car accident that almost took my life and left my skull fractured in multiple places. None of the pain I went through was enough to stop the cycle. What did it for me was watching my little brother struggle with alcohol. I could not handle that. That is when I stopped. For him, for my ghosts, and all my loved ones in this struggle. I was able to stop for them. I am learning how community is equally important to finding inner peace as the inner self. My community is my motivation.
That's exactly what I did. I was drinking every night for many years. One day after waking up feeling the hangover shit again, I just decided that day I'm not gonna do this anymore. Haven't looked back. That was 2 1/2 years ago. It's nice to wake up and not have headache and heavy head every morning.

Sorry brother - never blame yourself ever if you ever do
Alcohol often becomes a crutch to mask underlying issues that truly require genuine attention and care. Instead of relying on spirits, it's essential to embark on a profound journey of self-assessment and life restructuring-a personal alchemy that stems from authentic soul expression. This involves addressing and eliminating the void and toxic elements in life, including soul-crushing situations, toxic relationships, draining environments, and unfulfilling jobs, which are crucial steps towards sobriety.
To achieve sobriety and a more fulfilling life, it's vital to prioritize reconnecting with nature, embracing a more personal and intentional lifestyle, and gradually reshaping life into a more authentic and meaningful existence. Addressing trauma, toxic stress, and insecurities is part of filling the void left by not living genuinely and loving oneself enough to build a sustainable foundation for long-term well-being.
I couldn't have said it better ! All true !
Yeppers. Step 1, step 4, and step 5, written brilliantly in two paragraphs.
My Dad was an alcoholic. He died a little over two years ago. I think about him every day and always will.
If you are currently drinking, there's always a better way.
I'm on day 12 off alcohol. This couldn't have come at a better time, thanks Lex
Keep it up @vikinginspace! What worked for me is telling myself over and over again that I am not a drinker. And take it one day at a time- even if you have a drink today you decide not to the next day. You can also try AA if you need to talk to others who understand what its like.
@@DaveOwers Thanks mate. That's a good idea telling yourself that as it will cement it in the mind, cheers.
I went to the hospital with heart issues, and while there I went through withdrawals. DTs....10 days in ICU when I snapped out of that I never wanted alcohol again, pot too! It was like some demon left me. It's been over 2 years. I'll never drink again

Good for you! It's too easy to not realize how bad it is until you're forced into withdrawals. But once you know, you have a choice to make. Good on you for choosing life!
Thank you. Good timing.
Me: I don’t do heroin.
Other person: well naturally.
Me: I don’t drink
Other person: but why???!!!
Alcohol. The one drug you have to justify not doing.
Yep. Well, maybe. It used to be like that, not so much anymore.
Highly recommend the book The Naked Mind. Saved my life! 5 years sober this May 🍻
Needed this!
God bless you all.
Gratitude
Part of the problem is that most Friday and Saturday events seemed to be centered around drinking.
terima kasi semua ,❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I have been through two divorces. With depression and the loss of another marriage put me in a place of binge drinking. With the grace of God I am now sober and in a better place.
I’m so glad for you, brother.
Binge drinking is hard. For me, sometimes it just came out of nowhere, and now that my alcoholism has progressed so far, once started I simply cannot stop. I finally surrendered and believe in my powerlessness. I thought I had done this dozens of times before, but I didn’t believe it. I thought I’d eventually be cured after a long stint of abstinence, and could stop going to meetings and stop thinking about it. Something different happened during and after my last binge of self destructive behavior…this time my bingeing went outside its normal boundaries and was exposed to other people who otherwise assumed I was ‘normal.’ This affected me differently, and profoundly.
I will never be cured, and the only way to stop the ‘out of nowhere,’ unpredictable starting is to counter the spontaneity with meetings, like minded friends, therapy, and turning my mess of a mind, and my sins, and my addiction to alcohol, over to God. The last part, turning my sins over to God, still is difficult for me. I rationally know I must do this, but I haven’t internalized this into my psychology yet - but with prayer, meditation, therapy, study, and practice, I do know I will get there.
@@ronjon7942 Amen brother a day at a time
I have 9 years clean/sober thanks to my using taking me to a state of total desperation and living on the brink of suicide. Getting clean has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, and being involved in a recovery program has helped me make other changes that have made it easier to stay clean over a long period of time.

Believe me, your body will tell you if you're to far gone for cold turkey, you just gotta learn how to listen to it. I only know from watching my freind suffer though so ig im really talking out my ass but in my experience this is what ive seen.
Weirdly enough alcohol is the one thing i never had an issue putting down, probably bc i just generally dont like how it makes me feel past 2 or 3 drinks, but im terrified to indulge in that less it become my new crutch and vice.
I watched this 4 times now and I still didn't hear one little advice or wisdom on How to quit alcohol.Waste of time

Obviously you heard but did not listen he looked at his life after the event that happened near Christmas where he got into trouble for drinking and getting out of control and at that point he decided to not drink again….So he didn’t drink again.. end of story. If you are looking for specific advice then hear goes
1)cold turkey just stop throw away anything related to your particular vice and get rid of it, set a specific date to stop and start fresh on that day, if it’s better to be busy then do it during a work week if it’s better if you are at home then take a vacation, if it’s better to be away,then travel somewhere that would make it difficult to get back to your vice.
2) join a support group or AA . Get a sponsor to help you through the process
3)read a book about addiction to better understand what is happening and how to deal with the process
4) adopt some healthy habits IE. exercise,walking,cold showers, getting up early, not spending a lot of time on your phone 📱.
5) if you are creative then do some type of art , or a large project to occupy your time.
6)set realistic goals not I’m gonna quit forever,rather I’m gonna stop for today or stop for a hour or take a break from whatever for a set amount of time. Make the barrier of entry low and set expectations low.
6) hold yourself accountable but DO NOT beat yourself up if you don’t succeed that helps nothing.
7) stay away from people places or things that may be a trigger, if you drink then don’t go to bars, if it’s smoking stay away from others that still smoke, if it’s spending money then give someone control so you can’t access your money without being accountable for where it’s going.
Quite the topic👍 Neil sure seems to be level headed and a great personality👍 - 👍

Sad thing is, they think the drinking is the problem 😂
Got hungover off one beer at the age of 26.
I’ll have 1 or 2 mixed drinks but generally just not worth it most days
It is easy to quit pretty much anything, you just have to want to, really want to. Get a life and live it with caring for others in your heart. Easy peazy

NAD+ helped me become less “dependent” on alcohol. I’ll probably have a drink every couple of months now.

Substituting one crutch for another.
Marijuana keeps me functioning at the bare minimum.
@@TDL-xg5nn except alcohol is very toxic and cannabis is not.
Considering he said "I wasn't drinking all the time" and "I was in great physical condition for a drunk" (alcoholics often die of the effects of malnutrition) and "I just stopped" (literally lethal advise to a chronic alcoholic), this person isn't qualified to warrant a video titled "how to quit alcohol".
How to quit anything:
Stop doing it.
Easier said then done... You sound ignorant making such a statement.

Kratom contains "atypical" opioids. I hear you, really hard to stop.
@@younggarden_ were the withdrawals bad?
The best was is usually to stop drinking it.

Is this channel actually ran by Lex or his team..? In the off chance that it is I’d like to say you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself, Lex. Naming this video “how to quit alcohol” and then proceeding to answer such a question with “just stop.” I mean … ya gotta be fuckin kidding.
The beauty in the simplicity.

This guy didn’t ‘just stop’ on his own. He had severe external motivation that happened to be stronger than his desire to continue drinking. He had to stand in front of a board of colleagues and superiors, who were to decide his fate. He was HUMILIATED in front of these people, people he had interacted with in the past and will do so again in the future. This exposure would have been extremely traumatic, if he’s anything like me, and a very powerful motivation to enable his positive behavioral change. He is very, very fortunate.
I love drinking!😃🍺🍺🍺🖕🏼
Stop drinking
This is terrible advice! I tried to 'just stop's dozens of times but couldn't stay stopped until I found a community of people who were in the same boat as me

What works for some doesn't work for others. To say it's terrible advice is more about you than the advice itself. There are more people in the world than yourself.
muslim: hold my beer
What were you doing in 1792? You only live once, don't be a quitter.
Yeah this guy has no idea what he is talking about. His advice if you have a problem with drinking is to just stop and you'll feel better? Buddy I need to not exist for awhile, I'm just trying to not kill myself.
