Definition of an alcoholic

Hardest part is just to accept it

Gotta stop when you're ready. I'm sober 14 years. Doesn't even cross my mind ever and im around booze alot

Been 10 yrs myself that shit is truly a demon

I drank for 28 years and life went to hell. I got sober for nearly 3 years and life was good, I started to drink again, I’m not even sure why. Yep life went to hell, again… I stopped again 2 weeks ago, I pray to God to give me the strength to stay sober.

He triggered my OCD when he didn't cross his t. Now I need a drink

This was me. I hated myself for doing this to my family. Sober for several years now and I couldn’t be happier.

I don’t like to be called out on a Friday night 😂

10/2/18 was my last go.

Glad I got sober.

Nov 19th 2018! 🕺🇺🇲

I know I am not an alcoholic; alcoholics go to meeting.

I’m a recovering alcoholic and this is by far the best description I have ever seen. I have done every single one, and it’s wild to think I went through that entire list everyday to justify my drinking. BUT recovery is possible. ❤️

I didn’t do many of those but I was an alcoholic. Sober 2 1/2 year now.

I often wonder why I walked into a room, and im stone sober

November 1st 1999 my sobriety date😏😏😏

Took me all the way into 30 day rehab to admit that. 4 years sober this past July. These types of videos still make me uncomfortable but its a reminder of what I was.

It took me a long time. I am but I am not that anymore. I took my mom in, and I drink. I drove 4200 miles in 6 days to bring her to me on my dime, I drank at the motels. I help her with what she's needs daily and only I drive for what we need, never after even 1 beer. It took a while but someone is dependant on me now. I cooked her a butter pork chop yesterday, while drinking, on my 8 times seasons cast iron. She loved it. One has to be conscience about what your doing, you cant let the beer, the weed, the pills ever get in front of that. Never forgetting what your supposed to be doing. She's the last of my family, after that..... I hope I'm just sitting next to the fire pit in the woods.

I drink alone because I have no friends.

Hell I’ve been there.

Old vid, but every single thing is true.

I have been a “heavy drinker” NOT AN ALCOHOLIC 😂 for 23 years and what he is saying is so true and funny but pathetic at the same time that’s why I quit….. alcohol is total poison now I can say it….. alcohol was x1000 more dangerous than Drugs in my case, it was night and day

I got over this shit in my 20s. Drinking starts out fun. On the weekends at parties. And then as you go through life it becomes your cope to deal with your problems and that’s when it gets you! Once it got you u depend on it. Thank god I didn’t let it win.

I was on my way to being...nope...I was an alcoholic. Somehow, I got bored with it and quit. I still have a drink every other month, but no more than one double shot of top-shelf bourbon whiskey on a big fat rock. I sip on it for an hour, puffing a delicious cigar. That's enough.

And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone—even alcohol. For by this time sanity will have returned. We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. If you’re struggling … one day at a time..Work the program and watch the miracle!

This man hits the nail on the head. Staying sober is the best decision I make every single day.

Father Martin Ashley was a great man. 🙏

7 years sober today. When I accepted that everyone knew and all the lies and bs excuses wasn’t fooling anyone but me. That’s when it hit me

I already know I am. I'll drink to that

Made me sweat watching this , now I’m a sweating alcoholic or just a guilty alcoholic

This is spot on. However, rehabs have a more broad definition of alcoholism. A drinking problem doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an alcoholic.

I can relate to everything he said; I witnessed it from the outside looking in though. 🥺 I’ve seen it destroy beautiful relationships & families. They say some people are genetically pre-dispositioned to either prefer uppers/downers. Alcoholics are insufferable 2B around.

I remember watching a whole bunch of his videos and lectures. He’s pretty good. I can’t remember his name that do any of y’all know what it is. Also I’ve been sober about three years now.

I hate being an alcoholic, but I am too weak to stop...

This triggered me, glad i got sober

Had me at number 1

Chalk Talk on Alcohol- I saw this video several times in the Navy. It was required for our unit.
