David has been an alcoholic for 25 years but hasn’t drunk for the last four. He describes how his addiction started and the effect it had on his health and relationships
Fair play to him totally!!
The thing is it also fills me with sadness because you can see when the guy is talking that there is a massive gap of 25 years missing from his life!
i just think people like this are “weak minded” end of………..it annoys me that there is a category of pity for such idiots
Yes, good job, I am 25, and I am becoming alcoholic I drink alone secretly almost every single day, I drink about 70CL of vodka almost every day, although for two days I have been sober, just giving my liver some time to repair itself, but I am really desperate for a drink!
It is time to get help, it isnt as daunting as you may think, there is a solution to not drinking, dont waste any more years than you need to, learn to enjoy your life without it. Good Luck
one day at a tyime
I have a lot of issues with alcohol too, both parents are alcoholics too. Not that Im saying thats a reason but sometimes when you need somewhere to run for solace there is nowhere to go. What I’m trying to say is that u have to find your own shangri-la… tpical responce but maybe a hobby or something helps. It did help me a little but its very very hard. I hope your doing well
To the person with the username ‘biggerandmoregirth’ I think its fair to say that every person is different and experiences different things throughout thier lives, unfortunately alcohol/drug misuse, is around in societies and attitudes liek yours will not help this problem. It is far more prevailent than you seem to care to think. Maybe you have had a good life? Maybe
topsy turvy
Good on you David
This is a superb video, I tip my hat to David
Alcholism is a disease, to some people it causes a mental obsession triggered by a physical compulsion. Once an alcoholic has had one drink, he needs more. No, one sets out to be an alcoholic it is a progressive illness.
I just think people like you are “close minded” end of………it annoys me that you exist
good for you david well done
What on earth are you on about?
Good on you david =]
