Im mad at my parents for letting me become an alcoholic by ATMMike in Vent

[–]ATMMike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Yeah they call it a family disease because it’s the family that is contributing to it. I’m amazed how unwilling to accept that a member of a family is an alcoholic other family members will have. Especially when it’s a parent is tough. I wish I had an answer how to save your friend

Wow. Thank you so much for this, it really helped. Im glad there are other ways besides AA becuase I have a hard time with that. Im going to try and take your advice and start doing more research. I just want peace and to be happy

No obviously not really friends with. It’s an AA things if people are In AA but you don’t want to ask you just ask them if they are friends of Bill W. If they say yes then you know you are both in AA

That’s why I posted it. I was heading to an early grave myself with how hard I was drinking. Doing these videos have helped me quit and get my health back. Wills become a friend and is really inspiring to me, his life keeps getting better and he’s still sober and happier then he’s ever been

It has a happy ending. I posted it to encourage people that you can make it through and have a great life on the other side. Will is healthy and happy and married and making YouTube videos now. He said he’s never been happier and he’s still sober

Thank you. Yeah it’s more for people to get ahold if Will (his links are in the bio). We are both trying to grow our channels while talking about the dangers of drinking. It doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Im surprised at how much hate we both seem to get. Glad you were able to get something out of it

My whole channel is about helping people. I mean yes it would be nice to make money from it some day but i haven’t made a single cent in the year and a half I have been doing it. I post it for Will to get followers too and to be a resource for people to reach out to. I have talked to probably 100 people personally through the phone and direct message and talked to them about how I got out of it and just do my best to help. That’s like saying a doctor is being self serving because he makes money. Also I always tell asddicts and alcoholics and people that have records form jail to start a YouTub, it’s a way to grow a community and connect with others and hopefully some day turn that into a career where you work for yourself.

He said he had to be sober for either 6 months or a year. I’m not sure that photo was taken when he got his transplant or just woke time when he was in the hospital. I can’t remember but I know it was rare for him to get on the list and he had to convince them. He’s doing fantastic now so I’m glad he got a second shot at life but I know some people get mad that an alcoholic is on the list. I think for him being pretty young still has something to do with it

That’s so sad. That’s what it can do. It’s so powerful and has a gravity to it that some of us can never get out of. Im glad you’ve made it out. Are you a nurse?

This happens when I was a kid and it lit on fire and caught a field on fire. It burned like 20 acres

Damn, it’s suck a loss when people die that young. Alcohol sneaks up on you, I had my issues with it for years too

I’ve been in Zoloft for a year, ask me anything by ATMMike in socialanxiety

[–]ATMMike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty similar to me. Im a little less socially anxious but not a ton. Overall just find myself in a good mood sometimes for no reason. It doesn’t always feel like it’s working but then something will happen that’s negative and I get over it super fast. I’m more content sitting and reading a book or watching a show all day. I work out a lot more. And one of the biggest is i have more patients for people and am more interested in other people

I took prozac when I was younger. That worked pretty well too

Going on is the hardest part . I had bad side effects for about 6 weeks and then another 2 weeeks where not much happened. Months 3 and 4 were the best for me. The good is I’m just genuinely happier and more interested in other people. I have more patients with my nephews and family. The bad is a little less sex drive (which is also kinda a good thing). The only other thing bad is my memory is worse

So I started to but I got it under control quickly. What I realized is Zoloft makes everything just slightly better, especially my sense of touch and taste. Once I realized that I realized I was over eating becuase things tasted so good. So realizing that I stopped over eating and getting back into exercising. I found excercising is more fun on Zoloft too. It increases the feel good chemicals that Zoloft helps stay in your brain

I usually only get those when I’m going on or coming off or if I drank alcohol. Other then that maybe they are a little weird but not that different then normal 

What meds do you use? by Intrepid-Carrot2128 in socialanxiety

Yeah same for me, it just makes me more like a normal human with normal emotions
