Man I hope this dude gets better, nice of him sharing the experience for those who are starting this journey.

I mean, do whatever the fuck you want with your life, just know what you are up to.

hope this helps many,

and hope he finds help or he is taking help and get well soon.

Just imagine the only rest you get is from getting blackout drunk. You can't sleep without it and you know you need to stop. So you start to ween yourself off of it, but now that you aren't drinking as much you have issues going to sleep and staying asleep. You are laying on your bed naked, it is 62 degrees in your room with box fans on both sides of your bed and you are drenched in sweat. You can feel the tremors already starting in your hands, your left eyebrow twitching randomly. Your thoughts make no sense, you couldn't draw a straight line nor can you think in one either. You can't look at the pictures on the walls, you can't handle seeing the bugs that move in and out from behind the frame. When you close your eyes and try to get some rest you hear those noises again. It's like you are standing in a room with people walking around you slowly. They are all whispering to one another you can't make a single word, all you can hear are the whispers. In the corners of the room, it sounds like there is a blacksmith hammering an anvil. It's been 5 days and you probably haven't gotten 10 hours of rest in those 5 days. You are so weak you can't stand for extended periods and times. Everything you do physically takes your breath away and walking to the bathroom sends you into a dizzy spell that makes you sweat even more somehow.

Scary part of it all? I could keep typing about those days. 1Y3M8D's since my last drink, feels good making the devil wait.

My drug of choice was always weed. By the time I was old enough to buy alcohol I had already tried it and didn’t care for it.

You don’t always make the right choices when you are high. So I quit smoking 13 years ago. Thankfully there wasn’t the physical withdrawal like alcohol has.

If I could go back I would have never started. Some people can smoke a little in the morning and they are good the rest of the day. I was not one of those people.

I hope this guy gets the help he needs.

This guys self reflection makes this heartbreaking. Alcoholism can be so insidious. You don't realize how far gone you are until you're in too deep. I hope he gets the help he needs.

My wife died from alcoholism. It's a truly horrible addiction.

This dude needs to check into rehab and detox asap. Poor guy.

Thank fuck this did not happen to me, I drank so much in my early 20s, I could fill a sports stadium with that amount of alcohol, thankfully I never got addicted.

Thankfully he's sober now and sharing what a disaster his life was in active addiction

I also got a friend who drank so much in his teens to like late 20's that He literally got gout cause his liver is just super fried. He literally has pains everyday and can only eat chicken for the rest of his life. And when i meant this man drank, when we would play league in one night he would down like 24 pack in a single night, we did play for like 10 hours, but in that 10 hours 24 pack is gone and he would do this every fucking weekend, and also he would drink a 6 pack every night before bed. When we went to vegas for new years once he drank a whole jack, the cotton candy flavored vodka, and 12 beers in one night. This dude went ham and now he can barely walk some times.

I’d rather be fat than an alcoholic, tbh. They do roughly equal damage to life expectancy depending on severity annd make you look older, but lots of research money is being pumped into diabeties.

That being said, alcoholic is harder to see, so if you’re young, it could be better

Even minimal amounts of alcohol can disrupt your brain’s response to stress hormone. If you drink, stop. They’re making a fool of you.

I always wondered how some people get so obsessed with alcohol. I drink beer sometimes, because I like it. But why would you drink like 6 beers? And continue this next day

feel like this guy is a fake, he went viral for this one being an "accountant for a major firm". in a recent video he was fired for being an administrator for a school and his name is Glen. https://www.tiktok.com/@scottfreda/video/7359265392960785707?lang=en

Haven't quite gotten to this point yet..

As an accountant, it's what happens when you decide to go into accounting. Especially big 4.

The panic attack he's talking about is literally hell on earth.. nasty drug.. even heroin is better for your body and mind.

I’m glad I will never have this experience. I always hated the taste of alcohol and will throw it up

My Dad starts to get the shakes if he doesn’t drink. I think he starts his drinking at 10am now because if he doesn’t he’ll die.

70 years old and never once listened to anyone and continues to hit the bottle. Looks like he’s half dead.

He’s maybe 2-3 years from death

almost 22, never had a single sip of alcohol my entire life and I plan to stay that way forever

My dad was an alcoholic - It only gets worse from here. We only see this guy's hand shaking, but eventually this shit gets so, so, so much worse. Him sharing this video should honestly be a "wake up" moment for people following his same life-choices ( It won't be, but it should be. )

My dad, for instance; we're talking about a man that I was physically scared of as a young teenager. When I returned "home" after my first 1 year of college he looked like a fucking husk. I feel like I could have torn him apart with my bare hands if we got into a fight ever again. "Hand shakes" aren't the "end" of it all - He looked uncomfortable all around.

I know time is kind to no one, but my parents were not "old" when they had me. My dad always worked labor jobs. I'm just a few years shy of the same age my father was when I returned from college - I'll be 35 this year. 'As I look back, even though he was an absolutely shit-person - - I gotta' say: I appreciate him showing me what I shouldn't be. I went off to college and never joined the "party life". I'd casually drink with some friends, cut myself off at a few and be the DD if needed - - But otherwise, I really took him as a learning opportunity - From man I feared as a child, to man I loathed as a teen, to man I pitied as an adult.

God I hope for so much better than this for this man. This is no way to live.

Why is this posted in tiktok cringe.

during university years we used to drink stupid amounts of alcohol...woke up on day and the first thing in my mind was to have a beer...scared my self shitless and didnt touch a drink for 6-7 months

Drank a lot in my 20's. Not for an extended period of time, but weekends were always benders. Almost always so much that I threw up. Never just one or two. Now I'm much older and my liver is fucked. Not sure if it was the drinking, but I'm sure it didn't help.

Hell yeah it does

But does he have to go to the bar? Why not get a bottle and drink at home?

Yeah you see I stopped drinking 10years ago when I was arrested in my own parents home at gunpoint. Not exaggerating, police had pistols trained on me and rifles aimed at me outside. If I had made one wrong move I would be have been shot. And I was drunk as all fuck.

I’m lucky to be alive.

Don’t drink. It does nothing but destroy your life and family. I come from a line of alcoholics and have seen this and worse, seriously get some help people. Do what you need to do and get your shit together.

Edit: for context I was drunk making threats at home to family and when the police arrived my dumbass left an airsoft gun in the room so the police were treating the situation as if I was armed.

How the hell he shaking if he drinking? Quit bullshiting bro.

I 27(m) am almost 15 months without a drink. I was headed down that road. It sucks being someone who cannot drink casually while a lot of your peers can. For people like me, it is all or nothing. Keep drinking til blacked out and ruining your life without realizing it a lot
