Alcohol is NOT a Coping Mechanism!

5 Reasons to Quit Drinking Today!

[missellie]

My husband's addiction to alcohol literally destroyed him. I lived in the presence of it for 37+ years. He was in and out of treatment and did well for awhile. I buried him in 2012. Saddest day of my life. To all of you battling it, stay strong!

I used to hate addicts and saw myself as better. Now a days as a man struggling everyday to recover I find myself learning humility everyday now.

[eliyahshekinahyisrella]

Relapsed many, many times. Each and everyday now I'm sober and very grateful.

I had wanted to quit alcohol for 2 years. Everytime I said I was giving it up, I truly meant it, meant it with every fiber of my being. But then my willpower would collapse almost like a muscle that I had overworked. I had read books and listened to countless podcasts, so the desire was there, but alcohol is tricky, it calls you back, and no matter how smart or strong-willed you are it can decieve you. I am approaching 6 months of continual sobriety and the only thing that helped me was a complete mindset shift because willpower will always, ALWAYS run out. I had to change my perception and look at alcohol for what it is, a branded poison that is no longer my friend, in fact it was never a friend, but rather a cunning enemy that embraced me while stabbing a knife into my back. Thank You Tim for everything that you do. Your insight into this issue is both fresh and positive. Your story is relatable and your message of mindset transcendence is powerful.

That's me I'm 53 and I had a ton of relapses. Had 3.5 years and went back. Currently only few weeks sober but I love sober life. Today I'm sober.

I’m ashamed to say after 20 days of sobriety, I’m in the midst of a relapse. I’m watching your video for inspiration. Please let me beat this disease.

I relapsed after 3 month I was so angry with myself, I kept drinking not as heavy for 3 weeks so this is my day one …thank you I needed this ..❤️🙏🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

I stopped for 6 years. Been in and out of relapses for 1.5 years. The withdrawal....pure hell. My greatest motivation to stay sober. Keep your heads up friends.

I've almost got two months clean from meth and my ex drug friend keeps calling and texting. I begged her to come over today and thank God she never showed up or I would of relapsed. I'm so scared of letting everyone down and destroying my mind. But today I wanted it. And it makes me feel so stupid

When I was trying to quit smoking I relapsed MANY times. I slowly weened down to a few cigarettes every day and then finally kicked them for good after many failed attempts. Coming up on 5 years smoke free. You can overcome your addictions but it is a process.

[un-trackable]

I failed today after 4 days. Im not worthless. Im alone in trying, but im not alone. Just no one knows im trying, because i dont trust them. When i say no, my wife says "whats wrong". No friend, "yeah right". I feel if i talk to someone outside my circle, i wont have security. I cant leave my family. But i cant live like this anymore.

[onbekendkanaaaaal]

I didn't drink for 4 days, which was probably the best streak I've had in years. I "relapsed" yesterday, unfortunately. I hope to get more than 4 days in now, it's rough during the weekend especially, life seems boring without drinking and I hope it gets better along the way of sobriety.

[Realist-Not-Racist]

I was 9 month sober when around a month or so ago i slipped up. Had an argument with my missus and i reached for the bottle.

Im now back to Day 1..

It has taught me just how easy these things happen. The fight is NEVER over against addiction, its a lifelong disease.

For all the people out there on their path of recovery or the ones hopimg that day comes i pray for each and every one of you.

❤

Relapse is absolutely 💯 a part of recovery. Don’t beat yourself up & move on 🙏🏽 X

[JorgeAlxsRod]

Dude the way you explained everything is making me actually feel like I’m embracing the process!!!! I usually tend to sweep it under the rug and act like I don’t have a problem or stay so ashamed for days so thanks you man!! Im back on day 2 of sobriety 💪🏻 I did good for a couple months so now let’s shoot for more and hopefully forever free!

[derekpap]

If you're reading this DONT TAKE ONE MORE HIT. Put it down now, face the crash and move forward

[mmmbreakfast]

You're such an intelligent and logical person and I've watched all of your videos about alcoholism and you truly have so much wisdom. I'm still struggling but I'm trying to get better and your videos really help me to think rationally about this. Keep doing what you're doing brother.

[florismeijer]

Thank you Tim! Ive been sober for about a year now from sigarrets/weed. Today i relapsed and i feel very bad :(. Youre video helped me a lot. I was already very used to life without any kind of drugs. Ive been working out for about a year, and i felt inner rest or somerhing. But i got a major setback last week and it started again.

[arizonagold]

A lot of relapses this year. ALOT. But Ima get back up 8! Today I was sober
