I was drinking cinnamon whiskey 7 days a week. Drunk every time, for years. One night, while drinking, I got down on my hands and knees and asked for help. I didnt want to be sober for a year, a month, or even a week. I asked for help keeping me sober for a day. That's it. A day. When I made it, I got down again and asked for another day. And then another.
15 days sober now. I'm in the gym every day. There's a hole in my life and i'm trying to fill it with something else. Lord, give me the little extra to make it through tomorrow. I can't make my kids bury me yet.

I stopped drinking on Aug. 30 and now it’s Sept. 30. I feel good now, but during my detox smh, I was sweating a lot, I had a raised heart rate for the first week. Then came the weakness, headaches, stomachaches (worse than cramps) no sleep this was for one week. Then the heartburn came smh really bad, day and night for about two weeks. This is my third day waking up without any of those symptoms. I have adapted an healthier lifestyle. For one, I’m drinking over 1 gallon of water a day now(never imagined I’d be doing this) I’m making healthier choices in my diet. Lastly, I’m now exercising between 4 to 6 days a week. On Aug. 30, I weighed in at 260 lbs and today on Sept. 30 I weigh 239 lbs. I will stay sober and continue on with healthier lifestyle. I just wanted to share!!

I have never met a strong person who has never been thru hell in their life. Quiting alchohol is hell. I'm five years sober now.

Day 2, we’ve got this! Sending love to anyone dealing with alcoholism or currently recovering ❤️

[Trudon]

Alcohol should be a class A drug. This shit is poison.

[patrickmcmillan]

After heavy drinking every day for years I quit cold turkey. I ended up in the ICU in a 10 day coma.
Scary time for Celebrating 6 1/2 years sobriety. I'm left with cirrhosis of my liver and kidney disease all because of alcohol abuse but by still here to tell my story.

[hoeelandotorrez]

Not drinking has been my most favorite decision I done in life.

[garys]

5 months sober, it's nice waking up early everyday and not feeling like crap. I've already dropped 30 pounds without much effort. Life is so much better wo alcohol in my life.

[testaccount]

I have been sober now for 26 years. 12-12-93.

[christophermoss]

6 days sober now after chronic alcohol abuse on a daily basis - had a week from hell last week dealing with the withdrawals. Completely done with it and want to remain sober. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Stay strong people ❤

[danup]

I successfuly quit alcohol. Its 10 months now I didn't touch it and feel happy for that..

[ast-og-losta]

I drank for 30 years +. Im now 4 years sober. Greatest decision of my life. Once all the physical withdrawal are over, then comes the reconciliation of life events. Never again. Life is good now.

[ruthrose]

The only way I was able to completely quit was due to asking God. Laugh if you must, but I left a 6 year relationship and quit alchohol only by the grace of God. I couldnt of done it alone. . Believe me I tried, for years..

[brianandrew]

21 months ❤️ everyone please keep fighting!

[simisight]

The withdrawal symptoms snuck up on me. At first, I didn't know what it was. This is the worst feeling a human could ever feel. The shakes I don't miss. Over 2 years without alcohol, I am so blessed and pray for anyone going through this awful feeling.

Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my husband which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[MrOitoyboy]

1 week in. Just cannot waste another day of my life with yet another crushing hangover. It’s ruining my relationships, my job and my whole life.
I want better things than just getting smashed every other day. Good luck everyone.

I was self medicating with alcohol for 20 years. I never let a day go by without alcohol. Now I know why I had anxiety and depression so intensely. I went through acute alcohol withdrawal in the hospital and in rehab I was properly medicated. Now I am sober 1 year and 10 months and stable. No depression, no anxiety and no need for alcohol.

[anonymousche]

I see all your guys stories on here and it's helping me through, today is the day I stop. I'm only 28 and I have a problem with booze. Stay strong everyone 🙏

My father was a hard core alcoholic. I grew up witnessing everything described in this video. He would be normal for a few months and then nearly incapacitated drunk for days sometimes weeks on end. He was in the Army when I was young and they seemed to enable this addiction looking back. I remember the MPs bringing him home and just dumping him on my mother so many times. As a child I didn't understand what I was witnessing and as a teen I was powerless to intervene. Thankfully he was never abusive. It finally killed him (stroke) at 62 years old. When mom and I cleaned up his residence we found enough stashed and hidden liquor bottles to fill a large trash can. Aside from the alcoholism I loved him and miss him. Sober he was a great dad and led me into a fulfilling life. Bless my mom for the anguish she endured staying by his side for so many years. They are both gone now and I am thankful to have been their son.
