Real Day in the life of an Alcoholic/Addict! Horror!!

[raymondlin]

Quit 2 summers ago, when i was told i had cirrosis and early alzheimer. Cravings comes and goes, but havent caved in.

Wow right on the money, the filthy sheets, sweat, drinking not to get sick, puking. Absolute nightmare.

I have had more addicted days than sober. Turning 60 this summer and I really started declining in health and withdrawal became unbearable. I was sober for 4 months last year. I detoxed Dec 18th, 2023 and haven't touched a drop. Would love to get a full year in sober.

And that drunk man who stumbled his way out of Aldi with a liter of wine is now a healthy father, grandfather and even a youtuber who gives hope to people. That's truly the beauty of life. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE!
Thank you <3

I wouldnt wish addiction on anyone, its a circle of pain, im heavily addicted to opiates and its pure hell

[shannonbradley]

Tim: Thank you for your raw, honest testimony. I am on day 13 and I feel good. I detoxed at home over a weekend (not recommended) but I couldn't take off work to go to inpatient rehab (I did that already in 2017) and I couldn't do it again. I go to meetings almost everyday and I am feeling stronger. I have a therapist lined up to help me understand my insanity. Last night, I went to my nephew's wedding and I had a GREAT time. The best part was waking up at dawn, hangover free and being able to remember ALL of it. I am subscribed.

Thanks so much for this. I'm 13 months sober and loving it. I only ever drank on weekends but at the end I would basically work from home Friday on my laptop, go to the bottleshop on my morning break and load up on beer/wine/spirits/mixers and start drinking at my laptop at 2pm. Then I'd keep drinking until about 6pm where I'd head out for the night to meet people or even just go out drinking by myself. Around 11pm or midnight I'd come home and watch youtube and keep drinking until the sun came up. It would now be Saturday morning. I'd keep drinking (no sleep, no food) until about midday when I thought I should do something with my day and would stumble to my local pub and drink more for a few hours. Then I'd stumble home and pass out Saturday afternoon. I'd wake up probably 1am Sunday morning and couldn't sleep, exhausted, shaky, sweaty, hungover. Eventually I'd crawl out of bed and lay on the couch and spend all day there, trying to stop the shakes and eat some food and try to get some sleep. I never drank on Sunday's because I had work the next day. I wouldn't start to feel normal until Thursday. Repeat the cycle for years. NEVER going back.

Wow. Thanks for this Tim. I’m a man pushing 50 and I can’t remember how it got so bad, but it did. What you just described was my horrific life. I thought I was dying every day. I was drinking 2 fifths of cheap vodka a day and existing in misery and terror. I used to be a successful, well paid guy also. Then alcohol slowly turned me into an unemployable bum. I connect with you on many levels. I’m almost 2 years alcohol free now and the whole world looks so different and full of hope for me. Everything is good. And you know what is the most delicious thing? SOBER SLEEP!!! It’s so good, Tim! Actually sleeping soundly with no sweating, no hallucinations, no vomiting, no crushing anxiety….and then waking up free from withdraws and full of energy and good cheer - it’s like winning the lottery the moment my eyes open every single morning. I am SO grateful for my sobriety. Thanks for this video, I’m happy for both of us that we are still sober today.

I recently came out of rehab 2 weeks to this day for heavy drinking the withdrawals were too much, I needed this video today as I could feel myself about to relapse last night and I didn't (thankgod) and i seen this today and it helped remind me off the horror of alcoholism 2 weeks sober today. Thanks for your videos Tim.

I'm a 40-year drunk that finished up at a handle of vodka a day. Ended up in hospice, but I somehow survived and have 6 years sober, no relapse. It's a horrible way to die, just horrible. I lost everything I owned to my addiction, including my family. It's the end result, rock bottom and falling into a coma, coding twice. I can say it's never too late to stop drinking, I'm proof of that.

[MidnightAve]

Tim, you have been an inspiration for me and I can’t appreciate your channel enough. 28 yr old here who has been struggling with alcoholism for the past 10 years. I watch your videos for guidance and strength. What you’re doing is admirable and inspiring and I can’t thank you enough.

[trespasscomplex]

I spent years and years in various locations around the world, drinking just to survive. I cannot and will never believe I managed to survive and get recovery from alcoholism. Thanks for your honesty.

[jeremygoble]

The moment you feel physically worse being sober than being drunk its too late.. dont be afraid to reach out for help people. it saved my life and it can save yours. Thank you for your story brother.

[myredpencil]

Newly subscribed, thanks for your sobriety, Tim!! You're helping LOTS of people.
My recovery from alcoholism is ongoing, and I have to honor anyone who's working on it. Your wisdom is so useful!

[Nestor-jxnw]

I drank beer, Jack Daniels and red wine every day for years, my weight balloned, blood pressure went crazy, depression, mental issues, my marriage fell apart, my youngest son doesnt talk to me anymore, all for the love of booze. I had to admit it was destroying everything.
I am sober 2 months, 1st time ever its a new world I will rebuild myself with Gods help

Been a raging alcoholic since i was about 18 now 37 always getting in trouble with the cops for minor stupid things or falling out with friends lost so much through drinking my apprenticeship numerous jobs driving licence lost my dad to alcohol at a young age started going to AA at 19 and been in and out for years longest i ever managed in my adult life was 7 months then had a terrible relapse for a month where i was drinking 2 litres of rum a day pissing the bed spewing everywhere and blacking out for day worst part is when you're in heavy withdrawals but you just can't keep the alcohol down your stomach on fire so you just keep vomiting it back up. Anyway this dry spell has lasted 4 months hopefully ill at least break my record of 7 months sobriety

[claredooley]

14 days sober from weekend binge drinking and weekend cocaine use, plus holidays, vacations, xmas etc..I just turned 52 today finally had enough of the hamsters wheel..had few months off here and there, couple of weeks etc..But where I always had 470 or 5 days of abstinence, my brain kept telling me Idudnt have a problem, it woukd literally take me 3 days min to recover, I'd hot the gym hard to try and get rid of the chemicals...Tried AA didn't work for me, the binges.wwre getting worse abd the repercussions were getting worse with my family, friends, partner etc..Something shifted this time, despite the docual aspect and friends not wanting me to quit I finally had enough..I feel amazing at the mo..Been in this cycle for a good 35 years ...U don't really notice it when your younger..Also I'm pushing for a diagnoses for adult ADHD which takes 2 years min on the NHS in the UK 😢
