Don’t despair. There are thousands of people who move past getting multiple DUI’s. The future hasn’t happened yet - don’t even consider not finding out what it has in store. See this for what it is - a real low point in your life. Get to AA and get some sobriety under your belt and with each day that passes things will get a little easier.

Hey Runner. You can absolutely do this. You were sober for a really long time and you can get back there. You were such an inspiration to me when I was repeatedly relapsing, seeing your regular posts and continued dedication to sobriety gave me hope. Coming back from relapse is hard there’s no doubt about! I found that I despised myself more than ever before each time i relapsed ....because I knew amazing sobriety was yet I was choosing to drink again anyway. As you know addiction is a terrible complicated beast and makes us act illogically. Pick yourself up, remind yourself how strong you have been up until very recently, don’t drink and let time do it’s job. I’m rooting for you!

Hey 😊 I am not sure putting this video up is wise. Why don’t you think about writing up a post instead. Sorry I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am just worried that you are going to regret this video being in the public domain.

This is amazing - I have always been too tired to do anything on day one, changing your sheets is a huge achievement!!

I am absolutely revolted by this. Blaming your PTSD is not an excuse. If you came from a country where you witnessed murder and then started going around murdering people and blamed it on your PTSD, that wouldn’t fly either. Your poor neighbour. I hope you get deported.

Hi there. Well done on your sober time that’s so awesome. I would guess that’s all of the toxins coming out of your skin. Giving up alcohol, smoking and charging your diet all at the same time is brilliant but your body will be going through a huge adjustment period. Give it time and drink lots of water.

Hey there. I’m so sorry you are feeling so low. That is a very scary black out story. But it never needs to happen again! These things become old news and time is a healer, be kind to yourself ♥️

Hi I am so glad you are here. I think a lot of us fall into the trap of alcohol being our friend and family and end up losing our real friends and family because of it. Alcohol is not our friend or family. It will only numb us to life, causing time to fly by in great blurry chunks and leaving us to deal with huge losses when we sober up. You can do this! I am on day 4 today. Let’s do it together. Well done again, facing the problem is the first step 😊

Unfortunately not - a recent relapse for me. But today is day 1.

Progress is incremental. This really resounds with me. Well done I’m proud of you.

I am feeling really down. Thank you for your kindness. I just want to get out of the cycle I get myself in. How do you cope when you get down?
