my description of addiction and abuse. this is my story on how much I drank and how I hid it. #alcholic #alcohol #alcoholism #alcholic #alcoholfree #liver #liverdisease
Very true brother. Im an alcoholic myself. I would binge on Jameson, black out, and wake up with tremors and a bunch of pissed off people. Im so glad I dont drink anymore 🙏
Dont worry about editing your videos. Just keep telling your story, man. We're listening. I dont know what its like to have a drinking problem, but i do know what its like to light a cigarette with another cigarette, one after another. I would wake up and cough up blood, constant lung infections. Just like you ive been taking it one day at a time now for nearly a year. Man you hit home. Id be in the bathroom late night using a cough to hide the sound of a lighter spark. I cried so many nights thinking i wouldnt be around for my 3 year old daughter (now) because of my horrible health. You're doing gods work with these videos brother!
All I can say is wow! Congratulations on quitting smoking! I smoked my whole life. I know how addictive they are. Thank you for listening and thank you for the kind words. Never thought I would have such an impact on people with my story, but now I know that I can make some good use out of it. Stay tuned, thanks for watching, and God bless
Coughing up blood man? Goddamn have you been screened by a doctor? That's a sign of lung cancer and other serious diseases that don't just go away usually! I don't want to scare you but if you haven't the earlier you can figure it out the better your chances. Even the heaviest smokers I've never heard of them waking up in the middle of the night coughing up blood.. That's usually reserved for someone who's developed something from their smoking... Either way, how many packs a day were you smoking?
This is the life of my own son for many, many years. Loss of jobs, girlfriend’s a DUI. I spent all those years of his addiction sobering him up, getting him help,phone calls throughout day and night from him drunk, a constant worry of when my phone would ring and it wouldn’t be him but someone telling me he was dead. The doctors told me it was just a matter of time for that phone call to come. Years of hospitals, recovery which never helped and a cycle that repeated every 11-13 days for years on end. He finally sobered up about 6 years ago and now is a father to a little girl who is about to be 3. I still panic every time my phone rings, I still don’t sleep well and it’s always in the back of my mind what will trigger him to start again. It not only affected him but it sucked the life out of me, physically, mentally and emotionally, I will never be the same. So much of what you did was exactly what he did. So happy he made it out without too many health problems and so sad that you have so many ): Thank you for sharing your story I definitely got a insight on how much worse things could be health wise for him had he not finally quit. I hope everything turns around for you and your health improves. xx
I would like to tell my story, how I became a alcoholic after I stopped during meth, I just switched addiction, I hated alcohol until I was 27. I never thought I would ever be battling a 20 yr alcohol addiction, it's hell on earth, I hate it.
Thank you so much! Congratulations on your journey! If I can stay sober.... u definitely can. I never thought I would be able to quit or go this long. It was either quit or die. The Dr's made it very clear. Hope you all the best! Stay tuned and God bless.
No one uses that term anymore, dont be hard on yourself...Alchahol is an addictive legal substance...Its a spectrum and anyone that drinks sny ammount of alchchol is on it..Its called Alchchol Use Disorder...Obv you cam be alchahol dependant..
im coming up on 3 yrs no alcohol & your story is helpful becuz it's a reminder how much of a job it is just keeping up with an alcohol addiction, being able to function enuff to get by & the constant effort to keep up some semblance of appearances, withdrawals, DTs, it's such hell, it really is, & no matter how easy some people might make it look, if they are headed in that direction of addiction, where it goes is never easy, fraught with dread, shame & hopelessness. we are blessed if we are given the chance to climb out of that pit while we still have the strength! 🙏💜🕯️🌱🐾👣🌿🌎🕊️
I can relate so much with hiding in the bathroom! And getting off work to start drinking! I just reached the point of drinking will help hang overs. Its the day after xmas now and drinking was the only way to deal with having no one on the holidays!! Ive come to grips i have a problem. Getting help being alone and having no reason to get sober. Makes not getting help makes sense. I needed your story today. God please make soberity in my future too! 😢
I know exactly what you're talking about. If you need someone to talk to... ever, you can send me a friend request on my Facebook or my Instagram and send me a message on there. I'm here if u just need someone to talk to. God bless. Links are in the description.
It’s good to see you doing better. In the medical field, I see this a lot. It’s an awful awful way to go but I’ve seen cases where we didn’t think people would make it through the weekend, and got their health better and they’re doing treatments years later.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here! Yes, it's crazy how some can turn it around. I was there, they sent me home and told me that I wouldn't be here and needed to be with my family. Thank you again. God bless
Im a 65 year old woman that was diagnosed with Nash related cirroris in 2014 . I had 2 different doctors opions on that. I did drink for 15 - 20 years , but only weekends, just to enjoy relax with family or friends. I stop drinking in 2014 same year i was diagnosed . I never got sick or anything, it was only found through blood work , and they seen my liver was stressed, so then more tests and went from there. Both doctors agreed mine was mostly from gaing much weight , alot of over counter meds , but the drinking on weekends didnt help , plus i was pre diabetic , runs in my family. Alot of fat in and around liver, which i knew nothing about at the time, it becomes inflamation, then the real stuff begins. Thank you for takeing time to read this, and thank you for what your doing for you and all of us here. GB You 🙏 💖.
@@liverdisease-qb6rkYes, and thank you , diagnosed 9 years ago , at 57 years old, and celebrated my 65th birthday just last month. Your in my prayers for a good 2024 year ahead, hang inn there 👍. GB 💝😊🙏.
Thank you for sharing your story. Wine was what I started off with and I didn’t want my husband seeing how many bottles of wine were missing, so I bought a big box of wine and drink so much of that that I would have to fill a big plastic baggie with water so he couldn’t tell how much wine was missing from the box. I started chasing the morning hangover with more wine until I had to drink just to stop the shakes.
Thanks for putting this out there. This really is an act of service to others and brave as well. It sounds like you have become someone your wife and kids can be proud of, which is a great transition from the issues in the past. Best wishes.
Thank you. I can't believe that so many people are watching. It really felt like it was meant to be for me to do this. I really kinda feel like all the years of killing myself might actually do something good on the backend. Stay tuned and God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing your story man. I'm really struggling right now. Somehow I've managed to stick with light beer, but it's getting to where I have been drinking 15 to 30 a night. I'm 43 and I've always been big into athletics and working out, but for the first time I'm having trouble keeping up with everything. I'm scared to death to go to the Dr cause I'm sure I'll have liver problems and probably high sugar etc. Makes me feel disgusted and shameful every day, but the only thing that takes the anxiety away is more beer. You give me hope maybe there is a way out.
Go to the doctor and see if there are any problems there may not be yet. If there is the problem is going to be there regardless not going to the doctor isn’t going to change it. If you have a problem you can get to treating it earlier, and also most importantly it will give you much more will to stop drinking.
I know that feeling. I drank nightly for 40 years beer and wine. Finally the anxiety and paranoia got so bad I quit. Going on 7 months now. The book "50 days to sobriety really helped". Anxiety seems to really lead to drinking. But the drinking makes it a lot worse. Best.
There are a lot of great coaches on CZcams that helped me. Simon Chapel, habitsv2, craig beck, Sober Leon, Timothy Ward. I watch them every night. It really helped.
I started drinking when I was 14 we stole a crate from behind the local pub and I can still remember thinking this is going to be a problem! When I turned 20-21 started drinking bottles of Jack denials every evening out the freezer. Only ever stopped when I was doing prison sentences. Now 43 and messed up my body I've got fatty liver that was 5 years ago I'm to scared to find out what it's like now. When I binge drink my skin turns yellow take days to look myself again! My kidneys are leaking urine on my last urine sample. Got a torn asofacas from dry vomiting. Gout in my ankles. Trying hard to lay off it (I'm kidding myself with moderation)!! Found your videos a couple of days ago. Sounds bad but I'm watching them to try and scare myself into sorting myself out. Never think your hurting yourself at the time. DRINK IS A DEMON and that's the brutal truth. Keep the videos going mate the do help. Stay well.
Thank you so much for your videos, I to suffer from alcoholism, it is a terrible disease that destroys you and everyone around you, good luck to you and keep up the good work!!
I think you’re a very brave soul, sharing your story. Being so vulnerable with the world. I’m sending you and yours love and prayers for the strength to overcome this horrible addiction. Thank you 🙏
Hi ive just come across your video / post .can relate to everything you are saying .iam 9/nine years.6/six.months .sober.and a recovering alcoholic. Nearly 30 years drinking..so glad hi found your videos..STAY STRONG. EVERY DAY... YOU ARE SUCH EASY LISTENING ..
Hello! Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot. I didn't think this would ever be so beneficial to people, but now I know. Please continue to watch! God bless!
Everything you talked about, I myself have done in my own way. I have about two years w/o booze. Don't let the guilt tear you down. Use it to keep yourself motivated. Keep up the good work.
Damn bro we all who have problems or had problems with alcohol addiction can relate a lot to all of what my man here is saying .. amazing damn ….. great thing that you are doing great man !
So well said! I remember a time when i was bad on the drink i used to put all the empties in a garbage bag and dispose of it in the bin at our local park down the road, before anyone in my family got home. Its rather crazy when you look back on the extremities/lengths you go to when trying to hide your addiction
Hey! Thank you for watching! You are not kidding. It's so crazy to think about it now. I would do the same thing. I've gone to extreme lengths to protect my alchohol. God bless!
@liverdisease-qb6rk my oldest daughter is now 14 I have always been a good mum to my kids.. but since being diagnosed with fatty liver disease and seeing how much my kids actually worry about me and my health made me make the change. I really thought I was OK because i kept a tidy home and didn't drink in the mornings. Alcoholism comes in so many different forms though and we're only really fooling ourselves
@@chantellebjorke3310 yes.... it does. It's not a one size fits all kind of thing. I really hope that your numbers improve and you get better. Please keep me posted on how you are doing. I really do care. God bless!
Damn man...I was hiding it from my wife also...thank you so much for sharing man. I know how hard it is. I was doing the same thing. Alcohol is a poison. I wish I wouldve quit years ago
Thanks for watching! It's really is horrible stuff. Caused a lot of fights and a lot of bad judgment. I wish I had quit years ago, too. Hope all is well with you. Stay tuned and God bless.
Listening from the UK. Alcohol is the Devi, it’s everywhere. Keep up the good work spreading the word and getting well. BTW you are very lucky to have a wife that has stood by you on this journey, many would’ve left. She must love you very much.x
Thank you from watching all the way in the uk!!! Yes, you are right. I am lucky that she has stayed with me! I thank God everyday for that. Stay tuned, new video coming up today, God bless
Great content. We have very similar stories on how alcohol started to consume almost every aspect of our life. When you mentioned opening a can and trying to cough or flush the toilet to mask the noise, that was me every damn morning. Then like you, vodka was more effective and I could hide it in water or Gatorade bottles. I thought I was fooling everyone but it all caught up with me. I'm so thankful to be have a couple of years of sobriety but it's definitely a one day at a time disease. Congrats on the path you are on and a bigger congrats on having what seems to be a great wife by your side. I wasn't so lucky to be able to keep mine around not that I could blame her, I was a mess. Keep up the great videos, they're helping more people than you think. 🤘🤘
Thank you!!! These kind of comments really make my day, seriously. I feel like I have a purpose again. I honestly feel like I had to go through everything I did to be where I am now speaking on this. Thank you for watching and God bless
Thank you for your honesty….I would Love to hear your wife’s perspective and how she dealt with this. It’s a family disease in that it affects everyone in the household. Love your channel. You are helping so many people. This channel is gonna explode in time. Bring your wife on. That will reach and support the wives of alcoholics as well as the alcoholic himself. This channel has so much potential and the ability to reach so many people.
What an amazing testimony. I was gripped to your every word. Its great to see you made it out alive. By giving up alcohol you might not get into heaven but you will definitely get out of hell. Please God all of us will conquer this terrible affliction. 🙏
I think I first saw ur videos about a year ago when I quit drinking (took 7 months off). I started again like 3 months ago but just a couple beers here & there. Thanks for sharing tho, glad you’re still hanging in there.
Thank you very much for watching. I really appreciate it. Glad to hear that you were able to cut back and take a break. Hope all is well with you. God bless.
@@liverdisease-qb6rkhello..7 months off that’s awesome…maybe try non alcoholic beers if you liked the taste of beer feels good not to have that buzz..best
Thanks for sharing your story in such a straightforward, honest way. I've dealt with intermittent binge drinking in my youth and our messages to one another help us get through another day fully in control of our lives. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, and God bless you as well. It really is a demon, so many people in this world are struggling with these problems and don't know what to do to change. Stay tuned for more!
Great video. I hid bottles every single place you mentioned and then some. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. I related to your story so much. To me,a big part of recovery is talking with fellow alcoholics. I would fear just the thought of sobriety,thinking no one in the world could possibly drink like me. But listening to fellow alcoholics share their experience makes it more bearable knowing that I don’t suffer alone. Been sober one day at a time for over four years now. Thanks for sharing your story and all the best in your awesome recovery journey.
Thank you! Congratulations on your recovery! I know the feeling, never thought that anyone drank like I did, them I found out that I wasn't the only one. Makes me sick to my stomach to think about how I used to be. One day at a time. God bless
Amazing that you only have 5 videos out and already your story has me glued. You are a very talented speaker in my humble opinion and I am thankful you are here to get your story out there to people who can be helped by listening to you. After this video tonight I am going to go back to the first one to listen again.
I really appreciate that! I don't watch my videos before I post them. I'm just talking with no framework. Thank you again for watching and getting glued! I hope you keep watching. Stay tuned and God bless.
I agree completely. I've seen them all but there's something about this particular one that just kept me glued. He has a way of telling his experiences without it being monotonous. Absolutely did and does have me paying so much attention. ‼️
@@Hope...M man! This is just so uplifting to hear! Thank you for the kind words. I hope I can continue to keep everyone interested. I have so much more to talk about. I will be making way more videos here to come. Another one will be up by Friday. Stay tuned, God bless.
Thank you for watching! You are not kidding. The lies would pile on top of more lies and them you forget what you lied about. It just a circle of lying and deception. You will do and say anything just to get drunk. Tha k you for the great comment. God bless!
“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
Thank you for posting and telling your story. It’s vids like this- real people/real stories that provide support to people in recovery like myself. Doing a video like this seems very purging and therapeutic. I’d love to do one but opt for anonymity. I applaud you for putting your story out there.
Damn man, puking every morning is brutal. I had the fortune/misfortune of never really getting hangovers unless I really consumed a whole lot the night before. So I never really got "punished" per se for my usage until other symptoms arose like I couldn't drive the screws into the drywall I was putting up because my hands were shaking too much. And I never drank at work because I always found it a burden and never felt good having even a buzz at work, no matter the substance. Either way I'm coming up on 8 years of being sober from alcohol, and luckily my organs have all recovered and my liver is in great condition.
Thanks mate loved your story , I know you’ve been clean for a while now but just wondered do you ever get cravings now ? Or are you past all that because of you got so sick you would never want to drink again
Thank you man! That's a really great question! I still have nostalgic feelings every once and a while, I'll remember how great a cold beer was sitting by a big rapid on a river or something like that. I never have any real cravings anymore. I did in the beginning, but they slowly went away. I've been around people drinking and couldn't stay, I got really annoyed and had to go. I don't know why, maybe I was jealous. I'm not really sure, I just got annoyed and left. Anyway, thank you for watching, stay tuned for the next one and God bless
Wow I’m like the female 27 yr old version of you. Glad to see this content and I hope the best for you. More people need to realize how big Alcohol just wants us to blow our money while we kill ourselves with ethanol. It’s a terrible substance, and idol.
Beer to whiskey to vodka. It got rough. Your story mirrors mine. Marijuana isn’t the gateway drug it’s alcohol. I got so good at hiding that I could hide booze in plain sight. This is not something to be proud of, it’s a testament to how sick I was. If I lived in a rural area like you, I imagine I’d get very creative.
I know all about it. I would hide booze in the woods, behind trees, buried in the ground even. It's crazy to think about the lengths I would go to protect my stash. I would buy the 20oz sprite bottle at the gas station. Pour out 3/4 of it, fill it back with vodka and walk around like I was drinking sprite.... this disease makes us do stupid things. Thank you for another great comment! God bless.
Thank you for that! It really means a lot! Yes... this truly is an epidemic. All you hear about is opioid this and opioid that but opiods kill 80000 people a year. Alcohol kills 140000 people a year just from Alcohol related diseases. That's not counting all the other Alcohol related deaths. It's really serious. We don't talk about it enough... I never heard anything about it growing up, ever.
I used to be an alcoholic drunk 1ltr of spirits a day for 4 and half years now i have a drink every special occasion and the hangover so bad it puts me off drinking for months, i feel bad for people who are forever in recovery.
I'm drinking every day right now just to deal with my life problems like half or a 3/4 bottle. Just hit 42 here in July. I'm jobless, got cought on my bike dui Crashed the bike . I survived . But things are extremely hard
Man... I am so sorry. I hope that these videos are helping you. I know another person that got a dui on a bicycle. Hope things get better for you soon. Thank you for being here. God bless
When I lived in Pensacola, Fla. My car blew up and biked for getting around. Told countless others that you can get a DUI on a bike. Nobody believed me. One emotional night, drunk and upset and tried to get home via bike. Too drunk to ride and while walking it home, stepped into a huge pot hole and broke my ankle. You’ve heard the expression, drunk as a bicycle! The essence of my story is….. Don’t attempt ANYTHING under the influence! You can dig yourself out of this situation. Might be the best thing that could have happened if you can change your life. I drank because I had a problem, and then had a problem because I drank. I am rooting for you. One foot in front of the other! Hope you find a job soon! Blessings
Just a suggestion,talk about how your staying in recovery today,sponsorship stepwork,prayer perhaps.meditation,dont count the days make the days count.
The last couple of years I would have a bottle of vodka next to me on the floor by the couch where I slept. I didn't even sleep in bed. I was single, so any time I woke up, I would take a swig or two to pass out again. Working from home didn't help things as I drank 24/7. Suicidal. Kept the window shades drawn because I hated the light. Loved being in the dark. I too had heart burn any time I took a swig. I hated that the most. I was hung over constantly (obviously). That sucked. I still have liver disease which caused other complications. I have been alcohol free for a couple of years, but the health toll it took I am still suffering. When you learn "the hair of the dog" trick, that is when you get into the alcoholic loop. I have seen one friend die of liver and other organ failure. It is the absolute worst drug on Earth because it takes so long to sneak up on you until you are firmly in its grips. I wish I could tell you to never get addicted, but no one listens. It won't happen to me. I used to say that I hoped I never became an alcoholic because I enjoyed alcohol so much. Well I did.
I know all about this. All about it. Everything you say here. I completely emphasize and sympathize with. Man.... it does just that. Slowly but surely works its way into you, and before you know it, you're drinking a pint of vodka before work in the morning to make the shakes go away.... I really despise alcohol! God bless
Man.... you are right! I spent 26 years in the kitchen. Drinking and drugs were like salt and pepper, it was a requirement! Thank you for watching, stay tuned, and God bless
That's awesome! Good for you! Good thing you had it looked at! Did you quit cold turkey or use another method? Thank you for the comment, and God bless!
Hello, thanks for watching. I am still dealing with a lot of problems. I have another procedure on my pancreas in just a couple of weeks. I am much better than I was 6 months ago though. Every day I thank God for where I am. God bless and stay tuned.
@robertwilliam9558 i have not seen my liver specialist in a while. My numbers go all over the place after each procedure. I have had almost a dozen procedures since January of this year. It's really hard to say as of yet. I do know that the blood clot in my portal vien is fixed and the flow is still looking good. I just had an mri with contrast and spoke with my interventional radiologist. I do have scarring on my liver and that will be like that for the rest of my life. The tips procedure really really improved my life. Thank you fro watching. God bless
Checking out some of your older videos. Service and retail jobs can suck at times. Ask me how I know. My drinking really took off when I started playing golf. I would do that with beers. To keep that sound down I would put a towel over it. All these tricks are probably as old as prostitution.
You know.... I know... hahahaha!!! Yeah. Someone called me out yesterday on it. I told my wife that I noticed I kept saying that over and over. At least now "I know, you know?" Anyway, check out my latest video, I tried really hard not to say it this last time... think I said it twice. Thank you for watching! Please subscribe! God bless!
So sorry to hear. I hope things get better. Maybe you could send him one of my videos? The one I'm doing today would be a good one. God bless. Thank you for the comment.
Hahahaha!!!!! Now that's funny! I guess I will never be an aussie! Thank you for watching, and God bless you! So awesome seeing people from all over the world watching. Stay tuned, new video uploading now. God bless
Any addiction there are the three P’s..persons, places and things that cause most time TRIGGERS! Trauma is a big factor with most that seek out to self medicate to numb their psychological pain..physical & sexual abuse are on the top of the list for many of us. Changing old habits are tough, if. I can do it, anyone can👍👍👍👍
God bless you on your journey in recovery ❤️🩹 It takes much “ courage “to be honest with our self, others, and our God. Bless you with a long life. 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Very true brother. Im an alcoholic myself. I would binge on Jameson, black out, and wake up with tremors and a bunch of pissed off people. Im so glad I dont drink anymore 🙏
God please make soberity in my future too! 😢
Same, the anxiety of the following morning was brutal
I am glad you made it out. That shit sucks, man.
Dont worry about editing your videos. Just keep telling your story, man. We're listening. I dont know what its like to have a drinking problem, but i do know what its like to light a cigarette with another cigarette, one after another. I would wake up and cough up blood, constant lung infections. Just like you ive been taking it one day at a time now for nearly a year. Man you hit home. Id be in the bathroom late night using a cough to hide the sound of a lighter spark. I cried so many nights thinking i wouldnt be around for my 3 year old daughter (now) because of my horrible health. You're doing gods work with these videos brother!
All I can say is wow! Congratulations on quitting smoking! I smoked my whole life. I know how addictive they are. Thank you for listening and thank you for the kind words. Never thought I would have such an impact on people with my story, but now I know that I can make some good use out of it. Stay tuned, thanks for watching, and God bless
you’ve got this, one day at a time. ❤
Coughing up blood man? Goddamn have you been screened by a doctor? That's a sign of lung cancer and other serious diseases that don't just go away usually! I don't want to scare you but if you haven't the earlier you can figure it out the better your chances.
Even the heaviest smokers I've never heard of them waking up in the middle of the night coughing up blood.. That's usually reserved for someone who's developed something from their smoking... Either way, how many packs a day were you smoking?
I so want to give up smoking!
Right on!
Channels like this are worth their weight in gold. 2 months sober and ain't going back
Thank you so much!!!! That's so awesome to hear!!!! Keep up the great work! God bless!
This is the life of my own son for many, many years. Loss of jobs, girlfriend’s a DUI.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts/story,; I'm 37 years sober and it's great 👍😃 to hear from you!
I am very early in recovery and an alcoholic. Your story is impactful and it’s such a valuable share. Praying for your healing and miracles. ❤
Thank you so much! Congratulations on your journey! If I can stay sober.... u definitely can. I never thought I would be able to quit or go this long. It was either quit or die. The Dr's made it very clear. Hope you all the best! Stay tuned and God bless.
No one uses that term anymore, dont be hard on yourself...Alchahol is an addictive legal substance...Its a spectrum and anyone that drinks sny ammount of alchchol is on it..Its called Alchchol Use Disorder...Obv you cam be alchahol dependant..
im coming up on 3 yrs no alcohol & your story is helpful becuz it's a reminder how much of a job it is just keeping up with an alcohol addiction, being able to function enuff to get by & the constant effort to keep up some semblance of appearances, withdrawals, DTs, it's such hell, it really is, & no matter how easy some people might make it look, if they are headed in that direction of addiction, where it goes is never easy, fraught with dread, shame & hopelessness.
we are blessed if we are given the chance to climb out of that pit while we still have the strength!

There are a lot of coaches on CZcams that can help. Habitsv2, craig beck, simon chapel, annie grace, timothy ward, are great. They really helped me.
It can ruin people. You try to get rid of the friends. This person is not your ‘friend.’ They are trying to drag you down!
It’s good to see you doing better. In the medical field, I see this a lot. It’s an awful awful way to go but I’ve seen cases where we didn’t think people would make it through the weekend, and got their health better and they’re doing treatments years later.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here! Yes, it's crazy how some can turn it around. I was there, they sent me home and told me that I wouldn't be here and needed to be with my family. Thank you again. God bless
Im a 65 year old woman that was diagnosed with Nash related cirroris in 2014 . I had 2 different doctors opions on that. I did drink for 15 - 20 years , but only weekends, just to enjoy relax with family or friends. I stop drinking in 2014 same year i was diagnosed . I never got sick or anything, it was only found through blood work , and they seen my liver was stressed, so then more tests and went from there. Both doctors agreed mine was mostly from gaing much weight , alot of over counter meds , but the drinking on weekends didnt help , plus i was pre diabetic , runs in my family. Alot of fat in and around liver, which i knew nothing about at the time, it becomes inflamation, then the real stuff begins. Thank you for takeing time to read this, and thank you for what your doing for you and all of us here. GB You 🙏 💖.
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that you quit and are doing better now! That's awesome! Thank you for the comment and for watching! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rkYes, and thank you , diagnosed 9 years ago , at 57 years old, and celebrated my 65th birthday just last month. Your in my prayers for a good 2024 year ahead, hang inn there 👍. GB 💝😊🙏.
Thank you for sharing your story. Wine was what I started off with and I didn’t want my husband seeing how many bottles of wine were missing, so I bought a big box of wine and drink so much of that that I would have to fill a big plastic baggie with water so he couldn’t tell how much wine was missing from the box. I started chasing the morning hangover with more wine until I had to drink just to stop the shakes.
Very relatable. Identification is an important part of the journey and it's your willingness to share this that creates that opportunity for others.❤
Thanks for putting this out there. This really is an act of service to others and brave as well. It sounds like you have become someone your wife and kids can be proud of, which is a great transition from the issues in the past. Best wishes.
Thank you. I can't believe that so many people are watching. It really felt like it was meant to be for me to do this. I really kinda feel like all the years of killing myself might actually do something good on the backend. Stay tuned and God bless.
I don't understand how people can drink like this ,back in my drinking days I had to stop because of the horrendous hangovers.
Thank you so much for sharing your story man. I'm really struggling right now. Somehow I've managed to stick with light beer, but it's getting to where I have been drinking 15 to 30 a night. I'm 43 and I've always been big into athletics and working out, but for the first time I'm having trouble keeping up with everything. I'm scared to death to go to the Dr cause I'm sure I'll have liver problems and probably high sugar etc. Makes me feel disgusted and shameful every day, but the only thing that takes the anxiety away is more beer. You give me hope maybe there is a way out.
Go to the doctor and see if there are any problems there may not be yet. If there is the problem is going to be there regardless not going to the doctor isn’t going to change it. If you have a problem you can get to treating it earlier, and also most importantly it will give you much more will to stop drinking.
I know that feeling. I drank nightly for 40 years beer and wine. Finally the anxiety and paranoia got so bad I quit. Going on 7 months now. The book "50 days to sobriety really helped". Anxiety seems to really lead to drinking. But the drinking makes it a lot worse. Best.
There are a lot of great coaches on CZcams that helped me. Simon Chapel, habitsv2, craig beck, Sober Leon, Timothy Ward. I watch them every night. It really helped.
I started drinking when I was 14 we stole a crate from behind the local pub and I can still remember thinking this is going to be a problem! When I turned 20-21 started drinking bottles of Jack denials every evening out the freezer. Only ever stopped when I was doing prison sentences. Now 43 and messed up my body I've got fatty liver that was 5 years ago I'm to scared to find out what it's like now. When I binge drink my skin turns yellow take days to look myself again! My kidneys are leaking urine on my last urine sample. Got a torn asofacas from dry vomiting. Gout in my ankles. Trying hard to lay off it (I'm kidding myself with moderation)!! Found your videos a couple of days ago. Sounds bad but I'm watching them to try and scare myself into sorting myself out. Never think your hurting yourself at the time. DRINK IS A DEMON and that's the brutal truth. Keep the videos going mate the do help. Stay well.
Thank you so much for your videos, I to suffer from alcoholism, it is a terrible disease that destroys you and everyone around you, good luck to you and keep up the good work!!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I wish you all the best on your journey! Stay strong! God bless!
I think you’re a very brave soul, sharing your story. Being so vulnerable with the world. I’m sending you and yours love and prayers for the strength to overcome this horrible addiction. Thank you 🙏
Thank you. I'm realizing how difficult my son is struggling, after hearing your story. You are helping others. Bless you.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Very inspiring that you quit and definitely is encouraging.
Hi ive just come across your video / post .can relate to everything you are saying .iam 9/nine years.6/six.months .sober.and a recovering alcoholic. Nearly 30 years drinking..so glad hi found your videos..STAY STRONG. EVERY DAY... YOU ARE SUCH EASY LISTENING ..
Thank you so much for telling your story.
Thank you for sharing your story.
God bless you sir, and thank you for sharing your exsperience
Thank you for sharing it we're waiting for follow up
Love what you are doing brother! You are saving lives! God Bless you & family! One day at a time.
Hello! Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot. I didn't think this would ever be so beneficial to people, but now I know. Please continue to watch! God bless!
Everything you talked about, I myself have done in my own way. I have about two years w/o booze. Don't let the guilt tear you down. Use it to keep yourself motivated. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for what you are doing, you really are making a difference in people's lives.
You are so welcome! Thank you for being here! God bless
Damn bro we all who have problems or had problems with alcohol addiction can relate a lot to all of what my man here is saying .. amazing damn ….. great thing that you are doing great man !
Thank you so much!!! God bless
Great video brother. It's nice to see you uploading videos again. Keep it up!!
Hello Mike! Thank you for watching and thank you for saying that! I really appreciate it. Stay tuned, much more to come! God bless.
I like the way you explain/tell your story.
Thank you so much! Stay tuned.... and God bless
So well said! I remember a time when i was bad on the drink i used to put all the empties in a garbage bag and dispose of it in the bin at our local park down the road, before anyone in my family got home. Its rather crazy when you look back on the extremities/lengths you go to when trying to hide your addiction
Hey! Thank you for watching! You are not kidding. It's so crazy to think about it now. I would do the same thing. I've gone to extreme lengths to protect my alchohol. God bless!
@liverdisease-qb6rk my oldest daughter is now 14 I have always been a good mum to my kids.. but since being diagnosed with fatty liver disease and seeing how much my kids actually worry about me and my health made me make the change. I really thought I was OK because i kept a tidy home and didn't drink in the mornings. Alcoholism comes in so many different forms though and we're only really fooling ourselves
@@chantellebjorke3310 yes.... it does. It's not a one size fits all kind of thing. I really hope that your numbers improve and you get better. Please keep me posted on how you are doing. I really do care. God bless!
Such a sad story for you and your wife and family. Thank you for your honesty. Always wishing you good health ❤
Thank you so much!!! God bless
Damn man...I was hiding it from my wife also...thank you so much for sharing man. I know how hard it is. I was doing the same thing. Alcohol is a poison. I wish I wouldve quit years ago
Thanks for watching! It's really is horrible stuff. Caused a lot of fights and a lot of bad judgment. I wish I had quit years ago, too. Hope all is well with you. Stay tuned and God bless.
Listening from the UK. Alcohol is the Devi, it’s everywhere. Keep up the good work spreading the word and getting well. BTW you are very lucky to have a wife that has stood by you on this journey, many would’ve left. She must love you very much.x
Thank you from watching all the way in the uk!!! Yes, you are right. I am lucky that she has stayed with me! I thank God everyday for that. Stay tuned, new video coming up today, God bless
Great content. We have very similar stories on how alcohol started to consume almost every aspect of our life. When you mentioned opening a can and trying to cough or flush the toilet to mask the noise, that was me every damn morning. Then like you, vodka was more effective and I could hide it in water or Gatorade bottles. I thought I was fooling everyone but it all caught up with me. I'm so thankful to be have a couple of years of sobriety but it's definitely a one day at a time disease. Congrats on the path you are on and a bigger congrats on having what seems to be a great wife by your side. I wasn't so lucky to be able to keep mine around not that I could blame her, I was a mess. Keep up the great videos, they're helping more people than you think. 🤘🤘
Thank you!!! These kind of comments really make my day, seriously. I feel like I have a purpose again. I honestly feel like I had to go through everything I did to be where I am now speaking on this. Thank you for watching and God bless
Thank you for your honesty….I would Love to hear your wife’s perspective and how she dealt with this. It’s a family disease in that it affects everyone in the household. Love your channel. You are helping so many people. This channel is gonna explode in time. Bring your wife on. That will reach and support the wives of alcoholics as well as the alcoholic himself. This channel has so much potential and the ability to reach so many people.
It's not a disease. A person chooses to drink or not drink. It can lead to diseased organs though.
What an amazing testimony. I was gripped to your every word. Its great to see you made it out alive. By giving up alcohol you might not get into heaven but you will definitely get out of hell. Please God all of us will conquer this terrible affliction. 🙏
Thank you so much! That really means a lot. I have so many more stories and tbi gs to talk about. Please stay tuned, and God bless.
Appreciate you sharing. There are a lot of parallels here with my experience.
You are more than welcome! I'm sorry that our lives parallel.... but thank you for being here! God bless
I so appreciate the honesty and rawness here, ive been struggling too.... all the best man
Thank you so much! God bless
Sorry you have been struggling
Thank you for this
I think I first saw ur videos about a year ago when I quit drinking (took 7 months off). I started again like 3 months ago but just a couple beers here & there. Thanks for sharing tho, glad you’re still hanging in there.
Thank you very much for watching. I really appreciate it. Glad to hear that you were able to cut back and take a break. Hope all is well with you. God bless.
@@liverdisease-qb6rkhello..7 months off that’s awesome…maybe try non alcoholic beers if you liked the taste of beer feels good not to have that buzz..best
Thanks for sharing your story in such a straightforward, honest way. I've dealt with intermittent binge drinking in my youth and our messages to one another help us get through another day fully in control of our lives. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! God bless!
@@liverdisease-qb6rk God bless you as well and have a wonderful Christmas with your wife and children. 🎄
God bless you with the strenght to endure this demon
Thank you for watching, and God bless you as well. It really is a demon, so many people in this world are struggling with these problems and don't know what to do to change. Stay tuned for more!
What a brilliant and frank video. This will help so many people in a situation similar to yours
Thank you! God bless
Great video. I hid bottles every single place you mentioned and then some. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. I related to your story so much. To me,a big part of recovery is talking with fellow alcoholics. I would fear just the thought of sobriety,thinking no one in the world could possibly drink like me. But listening to fellow alcoholics share their experience makes it more bearable knowing that I don’t suffer alone. Been sober one day at a time for over four years now. Thanks for sharing your story and all the best in your awesome recovery journey.
Thank you! Congratulations on your recovery! I know the feeling, never thought that anyone drank like I did, them I found out that I wasn't the only one. Makes me sick to my stomach to think about how I used to be. One day at a time. God bless
God please make soberity in my future too! 😢
@@JamiisonG I will pray for you. I really hope that you can do it. It sure is worth it in the end. God bless
Amazing that you only have 5 videos out and already your story has me glued. You are a very talented speaker in my humble opinion and I am thankful you are here to get your story out there to people who can be helped by listening to you. After this video tonight I am going to go back to the first one to listen again.
I really appreciate that! I don't watch my videos before I post them. I'm just talking with no framework. Thank you again for watching and getting glued! I hope you keep watching. Stay tuned and God bless.
I agree completely. I've seen them all but there's something about this particular one that just kept me glued. He has a way of telling his experiences without it being monotonous. Absolutely did and does have me paying so much attention. ‼️
@@Hope...M man! This is just so uplifting to hear! Thank you for the kind words. I hope I can continue to keep everyone interested. I have so much more to talk about. I will be making way more videos here to come. Another one will be up by Friday. Stay tuned, God bless.
Thank you so much for this video! When I was drinking a lot, I was a chronic liar. I think the lies were almost worse than the drinking
Thank you for watching! You are not kidding. The lies would pile on top of more lies and them you forget what you lied about. It just a circle of lying and deception. You will do and say anything just to get drunk. Tha k you for the great comment. God bless!
@@liverdisease-qb6rk thanks so much for the response
Former drunk myself. Opiate addict and Xanax addiction in my past. I used kratom to get off everything. I now only drink Kava with gabapentin.
Exactly,Even tho people know, They still need to hear your words.

Haven’t had a drink in a month. I feel so much better.
I appreciate you sharing
You are so welcome
Hard to believe your wife put up with it for so long. What a patient woman.
If you create an intro thats great if you want....most will just fast forward through it. I think your no nonsense straightforward approach is great!
That's a really good point. Didn't think of that. Thank you for saying that! Thank you for another great comment! God bless
Thank you!!!
Thanks Man!

Thank you... God bless
Thank you for posting and telling your story. It’s vids like this- real people/real stories that provide support to people in recovery like myself.
Doing a video like this seems very purging and therapeutic. I’d love to do one but opt for anonymity. I applaud you for putting your story out there.
Are you still working? How do you feel about your career now? Thanks for amazing videos man
Damn man, puking every morning is brutal. I had the fortune/misfortune of never really getting hangovers unless I really consumed a whole lot the night before. So I never really got "punished" per se for my usage until other symptoms arose like I couldn't drive the screws into the drywall I was putting up because my hands were shaking too much. And I never drank at work because I always found it a burden and never felt good having even a buzz at work, no matter the substance. Either way I'm coming up on 8 years of being sober from alcohol, and luckily my organs have all recovered and my liver is in great condition.
God please make soberity in my future too! 😢
Thanks mate loved your story , I know you’ve been clean for a while now but just wondered do you ever get cravings now ? Or are you past all that because of you got so sick you would never want to drink again
Thank you man! That's a really great question! I still have nostalgic feelings every once and a while, I'll remember how great a cold beer was sitting by a big rapid on a river or something like that. I never have any real cravings anymore. I did in the beginning, but they slowly went away. I've been around people drinking and couldn't stay, I got really annoyed and had to go. I don't know why, maybe I was jealous. I'm not really sure, I just got annoyed and left. Anyway, thank you for watching, stay tuned for the next one and God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk look forward to the next video 👍 cheers
Wow I’m like the female 27 yr old version of you. Glad to see this content and I hope the best for you. More people need to realize how big Alcohol just wants us to blow our money while we kill ourselves with ethanol. It’s a terrible substance, and idol.
Do you think the ibuprofen usage had anything to do with your liver problem? I did the same thing for years.
Beer to whiskey to vodka. It got rough. Your story mirrors mine. Marijuana isn’t the gateway drug it’s alcohol. I got so good at hiding that I could hide booze in plain sight. This is not something to be proud of, it’s a testament to how sick I was. If I lived in a rural area like you, I imagine I’d get very creative.
I know all about it. I would hide booze in the woods, behind trees, buried in the ground even. It's crazy to think about the lengths I would go to protect my stash. I would buy the 20oz sprite bottle at the gas station. Pour out 3/4 of it, fill it back with vodka and walk around like I was drinking sprite.... this disease makes us do stupid things. Thank you for another great comment! God bless.
RESPECT!!
Thank you!!!!! Stay tuned! God bless.
Been there, man. Our stories are incredibly similar.
Hey. Thank you for commenting! I'm sorry that we are so similar. I really am... thank you. God bless
Your very brave more people need to talk
Thank you for that! It really means a lot! Yes... this truly is an epidemic. All you hear about is opioid this and opioid that but opiods kill 80000 people a year. Alcohol kills 140000 people a year just from Alcohol related diseases. That's not counting all the other Alcohol related deaths. It's really serious. We don't talk about it enough... I never heard anything about it growing up, ever.
God bless.
I never say aloud that I’ll never drink again. I don’t dare. Just not today.
I used to be an alcoholic drunk 1ltr of spirits a day for 4 and half years now i have a drink every special occasion and the hangover so bad it puts me off drinking for months, i feel bad for people who are forever in recovery.
Thank you for the comment! I felt horrible everyday and knew why and still continued to drink, the disease is no joke! God bless!
I'm drinking every day right now just to deal with my life problems like half or a 3/4 bottle. Just hit 42 here in July. I'm jobless, got cought on my bike dui
Crashed the bike . I survived . But things are extremely hard
Man... I am so sorry. I hope that these videos are helping you. I know another person that got a dui on a bicycle. Hope things get better for you soon. Thank you for being here. God bless
When I lived in Pensacola, Fla. My car blew up and biked for getting around. Told countless others that you can get a DUI on a bike. Nobody believed me. One emotional night, drunk and upset and tried to get home via bike. Too drunk to ride and while walking it home, stepped into a huge pot hole and broke my ankle. You’ve heard the expression, drunk as a bicycle! The essence of my story is….. Don’t attempt ANYTHING under the influence! You can dig yourself out of this situation. Might be the best thing that could have happened if you can change your life. I drank because I had a problem, and then had a problem because I drank. I am rooting for you. One foot in front of the other! Hope you find a job soon! Blessings
Just a suggestion,talk about how your staying in recovery today,sponsorship stepwork,prayer perhaps.meditation,dont count the days make the days count.
I sure will. Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate it! Look forward to that video soon. God bless
Off topic but what brand of sunglasses are those.
Your videos are very informative.
Hey, they are ray bans, I can't remember the name of them. Thank you for saying that! Stay tuned, and God bless.
The last couple of years I would have a bottle of vodka next to me on the floor by the couch where I slept. I didn't even sleep in bed. I was single, so any time I woke up, I would take a swig or two to pass out again. Working from home didn't help things as I drank 24/7. Suicidal. Kept the window shades drawn because I hated the light. Loved being in the dark. I too had heart burn any time I took a swig. I hated that the most. I was hung over constantly (obviously). That sucked. I still have liver disease which caused other complications. I have been alcohol free for a couple of years, but the health toll it took I am still suffering. When you learn "the hair of the dog" trick, that is when you get into the alcoholic loop. I have seen one friend die of liver and other organ failure. It is the absolute worst drug on Earth because it takes so long to sneak up on you until you are firmly in its grips. I wish I could tell you to never get addicted, but no one listens. It won't happen to me. I used to say that I hoped I never became an alcoholic because I enjoyed alcohol so much. Well I did.
I know all about this. All about it. Everything you say here. I completely emphasize and sympathize with. Man.... it does just that. Slowly but surely works its way into you, and before you know it, you're drinking a pint of vodka before work in the morning to make the shakes go away.... I really despise alcohol! God bless
👍🏼
Thank you! God bless
You have to admit tho that shower beers were pretty great
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you! Thank you for watching! Stay tuned... new video uploading now. God bless.

Incredible story. How is your health after this?
Hello, thanks for watching. I am still dealing with a lot of problems. I have another procedure on my pancreas in just a couple of weeks. I am much better than I was 6 months ago though. Every day I thank God for where I am. God bless and stay tuned.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk Is the actual Liver ok or No?
@robertwilliam9558 i have not seen my liver specialist in a while. My numbers go all over the place after each procedure. I have had almost a dozen procedures since January of this year. It's really hard to say as of yet. I do know that the blood clot in my portal vien is fixed and the flow is still looking good. I just had an mri with contrast and spoke with my interventional radiologist. I do have scarring on my liver and that will be like that for the rest of my life. The tips procedure really really improved my life. Thank you fro watching. God bless

This was the story of my brother but he died 5 years... i do miss him
So sorry to hear.... hope you arr doing well. God bless you and your brother.
Checking out some of your older videos. Service and retail jobs can suck at times. Ask me how I know. My drinking really took off when I started playing golf. I would do that with beers. To keep that sound down I would put a towel over it. All these tricks are probably as old as prostitution.
Im documenting a similar cause how do i get as many follewers as you friend?
I wish I could tell you. It's really been just organic. Thank you for watching! God bless
