   well i think it’s a fine line. the withdrawal phase is definitely a disease caused by physiological changes in the brain. these need to be treated like other “real” anxiety diseases.

   as for long term addiction, if a true alcoholic has recovered from a horrible withdrawal, it should be enough to scare them not to get there again, but so many do it over and over again and suffer the withdrawals repeatedly. this is often a result of a true behavioral/psychological disease.

   Ive been abusing whiskey pretty heavily recently. 3-4 times a week I will have the impulse to go buy a 70cl bottle and just drink it all in one night. I dunno what that works out to in units but the addiction aspect has crept up on me recently and I have a thirst for it now. Maybe that is way too much but I seem to have a high tolerance, I can drink through a bottle of whiskey neat, like its orange juice

   I agree with you 100% on the “disease” thing. I think it’s a crazy excuse to say its a disease. Last time I checked, they don’t serve ‘disease” over the counter. Anyone can get addicted to anything they allow into their lives. Congrats to you on your sober life!

   Nice one mate. I like the ending of this vid, made me LOL.
   A really difficult part of not drinking is other people, peer pressure.

   Can anyone help me. . . . I can enjoy a glass of wine with a meal and leave it at that. . . no problem. . . I can even have a beer at home and leave it at 1 or 2. But my problem is this. I go out every 3 weeks or so and have about 10 pints. . I then generally end up insulting someone or saying something I regret. I don’t like it. . . . I would miss have a glass of red wine with a meal most if I was to quit drinking. Has anyone any advice for me ?

   Is that how it normally goes after long enough? I thought the dts only happen if you quit completely. There has been a lot of illness around where I live so I might just be sick. But on the onset of the sickness It was just like the dts, and now it’s been 4 days and it keeps happening.

    I’ve been a functioning alcoholic for 8 years. I started at 17 but wasn’t hooked till I wass reall depressed. After that I just kept drinking. Im 27 now and just curious as to why after so long Im getting this feeling every day. I never get hangovers I wake up every day and go to work after drinking a 12 pack and just feel kinda yukky for like an hour. But now it’s like im getting very mild symtoms of the dts everyday untill I go home and drink.

    Great video. I’m like you, healthy, strong, hard working and alcoholic. I quit 4 days ago and thrilled about my freedom. The only bad effect is, I’m tired and groggy, but it will pass. You’re right, it isnt a disease. It’s a repetitive choice. I love wine, but it doesnt taste good anymore. It seems oppressive, now. I wonder who I will be w/o the sauce.
    Congrats, Roy.

    @residentevil1221 honestly man, even tho im trying to quit i dont regret drinking. its an experience you need to have. just try to pace yourself better than me. i cant go out and only have 4 drinks. i can do two cuz then im still completely straight. i can also not drink at all but theres social pressure too at my age and your age. im 20. its worth doing, just keep in control if you can. i just really cant.

    im 20 years old and half scottish half irish. i want to quit drinking. but its so fucking hard at my age. every time i want to go out everyone wants to drink and i dont want to be the boring friend. but, once i have 3 beers in me i lose all self control and will end up drinking like 12 by the end of the night. it happens every single time and im a mess of an alcoholic. ive screwed up so much stuff. its gonna be tough, i think ill just have two beers and no more no matter what the circumstances

    i’m 25 and i’m Irish aswell, I definitely think it’s hard not to drink in our society because it’s such a big part of the culture. I’m gonna try though, the hangovers have just gotten to be too much for me

    26, sober for 13 months, and isn’t amazing how our stories are so close to the same. Alcoholism will kill you if you let it, and I agree that its not a diease, because we have a choice. AA is right though, Huey, once a drunk, always a drunk. You go out and have “just one. ” We’ll see you on your next video about how one turned into a several month binder. Best of luck to everyone in their pursuit of bettering themselves.

    It can be dangerous to suddenly quit alcohol if your a heavy drinker
    i knew a women 42 who quit and after a week the shock to her system made her ill and she died of Pneumonia
    talk to a doctor first
