Dawg I have been there so many times, have taken LONG breaks and said to myself "well I can take breaks so I should be fine to start in moderation" just don't do it. It turns so quickly into "moderation" back into the full blown state. I'm not saying you won't EVER be able to enjoy a drink again in your life but it really just isn't worth it. The "moderation" turns so fast its kinda scary. I was always the person who could take breaks be it weeks or months but once I started I couldn't stop, if you feel the same way trust me its not worth it to start again it only hurts in the long run.

I grew up with a crazy alcoholic and I never once have heard an apology from her at all. The fact that Charlie admitted that he broke his sobriety streak and was this open and honest with his viewers about something so serious is incredible honestly. Most people don't have the courage to do this in front of a few people, let alone millions. That's crazy, honestly. Everyone relapses at some point. Some relapses are more severe than others, but the relapse itself isn't what matters, it's how you handle it and keep yourself back on track after that relapse that's important. I hope he's doing alright.

I was sober for nearly two years before relapsing a couple months ago. I haven't taken it back to the level I used to drink at and I only buy a few 50 mil bottles at once now, but for about two months I've been drinking everyday again. This was a good reminder of something that's so easy for me to forget.. no matter how much I think I am in control, I'm an alcoholic and at some point, I'm going to lose control of myself again and have more than a couple small mixed drinks at dinner.

I’ve been in recovery for 15 years. I stopped drinking 20 years ago but alcohol wasn’t my drug of choice, prescription opioids were. I am a firm believer that my addiction is still there waiting for me to slip up and while my body hasn’t been exposed to opioids in 15 years my tolerance can easily get back to where it was before and then some. I’ve seen it happen to people who have relapsed. I remember thinking that I’d never have fun again once I get sober. I have found that my life is a lot more fun and I have a supportive friend group who encourage my sobriety. It’s definitely not a boring life. I’m also not bothered by people drinking around me but I’m not going to spend my time in a bar unless there’s a reason for me to be there. Like a birthday party or to see a band play.

Eh, I wouldn't put in on that high a pedestal. Actually, I have much more respect for you. Getting through an actual addiction both physically and mentally is waaay more challenging then just giving up a bit of party drinking. Getting addicted itself is often times a genetic thing. Lots of people are susceptible to addiction, couple that with social problems it's really fucking hard to quit that then. So respect to you man. I have respect for charlie in the sense that he's making this public. If you're not addicted to alcohol, why the heck would you deserve respect for not drinking any? It's a rather simple, rational choice. You either choose to live with the crappy, unhealthy bullshit that comes along with the 1-2 hours of fun and relief or you don't and save yourself money and loads of suffering. Remember you always have a choice.

I work in the field of addiction, and I think this is a great video. Glad you uploaded it. Recovery looks different for different people, so I never fault anyone for thinking they can handle things down the line. Some can. Most can't. It's okay to make mistakes in finding your own limits, so long as you learn from it and update your boundaries. I know you didn't ask, but if you end up having this problem again, I do have a suggestion. Maybe have harder number/time/occasion limits on the "couple of drinks" rule? I find clearer boundaries help avoid slippery slope mishaps. Leaving wiggle room for this kind of stuff can accidentally complicate things. Your honesty is awesome, and this video is a great way to keep yourself in line in the future (while potentially helping others). I'm rooting for ya!

An alcoholic is someone that is unable to stop drinking, even though he wants to. Someone that does not drink, is not an alcoholic. Identification with the Problem is what makes it hard for the affected person, not do drink. If you look at the reasons that enable you to not identify with being hooked to alcohol, then not drinking stops requiring effort. Not drinking for 14 years makes you a non-drinker. It's reason enough to not identify with being an alcoholic. Stop believing you're an alcoholic and not-drinking stops requiring effort. If it still requires effort for you to not drink, then go read Allen Carr's Book "The easy way to control alcohol" I have stopped drinking last year and since then i can't count a single time where I seriously felt bad about not drinking or had to put effort into not drinking alcohol. This is the final stage. Not recovery. Not feeling like an alcoholic. It's just not being a drinker.

This is the video I'm going to share with my daughter to begin the dialog of the dangers of binge drinking. Being raised by alcoholics myself, I was stunned by the possibility that I had become an alcoholic in my twenties. I didn't consider my drinking problematic as I could abstain from alcohol for very long strenches, unlike my parents. It wasn't until I attended an AA meeting with a family member that I realized and accepted that I too was an addict and that anxiety/stress triggered my binge drinking. If I start, I can't stop and like you, the hangovers were unbearable. Unlike you, I did hurt myself the last time I binged and woken up in a hospital handcuffed to the bed with police officers babysitting me. I had been injured, can't remember how and had refused help which is why I had bracelets on. I disfigured my face and never drank again to this day. Thankfully, I didn't drive nor hurt anyone other than myself. Blacking out is very dangerous and I'm grateful for the officers who rescued me from myself. Apparently I was found bleeding on a sidewalk in some sketchy neighborhood next to a dumpster. That was 14 years ago. Unfortunately my parents never got sober, lost everything and now are paying with toll with permanent brain damage in the form of Alzehemier's Disease. Some people can drink, have fun, not get drunk and don't experience blackouts. I'm just not one of those people... sounds like you're not either. Thanks for sharing your story with such honesty and not editing out the "embarrassing" parts. Please take care of yourself. Much Respect from 🇨🇦

For instance, if you usually drink while out and not at home, maybe try using *only* cash to pay for your drinks starting with $50 the first week/month/whatever time span, then $45, then $40, etc. Keep only that amount in your wallet so you don't succumb to temptation to buy more. Hopefully, by the time you get down to $5, you'll just order a milkshake or something else instead! Godspeed! 👍

Just as a PSA for yourself and anyone else reading , if your problem with drinking its relatively severe DO NOT QUIT COLD TURKEY. Alcohol is one of the few substances that if you’ve become physically dependent on it quitting cold turkey can lead to seizures and death. If you suffer from withdrawal symptoms when you try and cut back/quit then please consult a professional or at the very least do some proper research into how you can quit safely. I have a mother who’s currently in rehab and in the months/year leading up to it she was constantly told by doctors to be extremely careful about cutting out too much too quickly. Gradually tapering off your usage in a controlled manner is the safest and most effective method if you are going to do it by yourself. Good luck to anyone who is trying to quit, I know you can do this. It’s immensely difficult but at the end you’ll never for a single second regret doing it. Life gets a lot better when your addiction is no longer in control.

To help get used to change, try with something that doesn't affect you much. If you usually get up at 7am, change it to 645am. We do best when we ease into it. Be gentle with yourself. This is for the rest of your life, it is important to let each small step be fully incorporated, then try the next. When we change too quickly, it makes a weaker foundation to step off of and, too often, it all falls down. Take care.

Don't go cold turkey if your drinking is pretty severe. That will probably hurt more than even your worst hangover. If you want to try quitting on your own as opposed to seeking help from professionals, I would suggest weaning yourself off little by little until your body becomes less dependent on the alcohol over time as opposed to just completely quitting all together. That could be dangerous.

"youtuber apology" which is to say rich children apology. They were never made to apologize earnestly once in their life, the mere concept of it is about as alien to them as quantum mechanics are to a 19th century beggar.
"which one of you cowards peed in my pants last night" KILLED ME hey man, old habits die hard. especially things like this that can just grab you and not let go. it really is admirable that you were willing to share this with the world, in as much detail as you did. take care of yourself charlie
That line was mind-blowing. I LMAO'd hard there! But on a serious note, I'm really glad that he is as transparent as he is. Charlie is like glass; totally see-through, and absolutely nothing to hide. He knows he fucked up, so he lays everything on the table. The only other KZheadr I've ever seen with quite as much transparency is Jenna Marbles.

I had a stepdad who was a terrible alcoholic, some would call him a 'professional drinker', and he never admitted or realized his drinking was a problem.

I appreciate how down-to-earth Charlie is as someone in a large position of influence. Most people get money and power and manifest a massive ego, becoming totally different people. Charlie is still very much a "one of us" kind of guy.
This why I’ve avoided drinking, and everybody makes fun of me for it. Pretty soon a few turns into a bunch. Your honesty is much appreciated Charlie. This is something many people do not talk about
It's sad people make fun of you for this. My friends don't give me a hard time for not drinking, especially since the reason I never drink is due to my family history and how I grew up. People should respect your decision to do what 's right for you. Besides, drinking doesn't do any good for our society. It's the cause of so many social and health problems. I'd say you're doing the right thing.
I respect you for sticking to your values even when people make fun of you, I know its hard!
thankfully people don’t make fun of me but they always have to ask why. they always put on this concerned face that says „but how can you have fun if you don’t drink? oh you poor thing you should drink with us“ it makes me mad even though they probably mean well in wanting me to have fun. but i always am having fun. they never understand man and obviously i don’t want to air all my dirty laundry and tell them my whole backstory about why i can’t drink tonight. i wish society would accept people who don’t want to drink more quickly and openly.
if someone's telling me they're not drinking, im just fucking right off; it's not my business unless we're somewhat close and they're comfortable with sharing the reasons. not a big drinker myself nowadays... anyways, wishing all the best to everyone in this thread!
The same people who make fun of you for not drinking will be the ones looking at you with concern when you become a daily pisshead. Not everyone can just switch it on / off. At 32 i'm glad I don't have to deal with people like that.
Mad respect, my guy. The transparency, the honesty, and the accountability. No one is perfect, but we can strive to be better.

@@aidan8092 Edge yourself to your body pillow kid
@@DrDeuteronyes, probably. Alcoholism is like smoking, it's hard to fully stop. People don't just wake up one day and never touch it again. There's usually an underlying reason why someone drinks. A lot of times it's an escape. So it's hard for people to give that up.
I’m a little over a year sober myself, and I’ve been debating on whether I should try again in moderation. This was the sign I needed to get that idea out of my head. Thank you, I genuinely appreciate this video.
I’ve been horribly addicted to weed in the past and have gone through cycles of sobriety and then falling off the wagon hard, it’s awful. I think I can control it, just a little after work, and then all of a sudden I’m high all of my waking hours outside of work. Wasting tons of money and time, self isolating, terrible anxiety. I haven’t touched it in almost two years and I finally understand I can never touch it again. Stay strong, you got it
Dawg I have been there so many times, have taken LONG breaks and said to myself "well I can take breaks so I should be fine to start in moderation" just don't do it. It turns so quickly into "moderation" back into the full blown state. I'm not saying you won't EVER be able to enjoy a drink again in your life but it really just isn't worth it. The "moderation" turns so fast its kinda scary. I was always the person who could take breaks be it weeks or months but once I started I couldn't stop, if you feel the same way trust me its not worth it to start again it only hurts in the long run.

I grew up with a crazy alcoholic and I never once have heard an apology from her at all. The fact that Charlie admitted that he broke his sobriety streak and was this open and honest with his viewers about something so serious is incredible honestly. Most people don't have the courage to do this in front of a few people, let alone millions. That's crazy, honestly. Everyone relapses at some point. Some relapses are more severe than others, but the relapse itself isn't what matters, it's how you handle it and keep yourself back on track after that relapse that's important. I hope he's doing alright.
I was sober for nearly two years before relapsing a couple months ago. I haven't taken it back to the level I used to drink at and I only buy a few 50 mil bottles at once now, but for about two months I've been drinking everyday again. This was a good reminder of something that's so easy for me to forget.. no matter how much I think I am in control, I'm an alcoholic and at some point, I'm going to lose control of myself again and have more than a couple small mixed drinks at dinner. Thanks Charlie for the little wake up call and please take care of yourself

I’ve been in recovery for 15 years. I stopped drinking 20 years ago but alcohol wasn’t my drug of choice, prescription opioids were. I am a firm believer that my addiction is still there waiting for me to slip up and while my body hasn’t been exposed to opioids in 15 years my tolerance can easily get back to where it was before and then some. I’ve seen it happen to people who have relapsed. I remember thinking that I’d never have fun again once I get sober. I have found that my life is a lot more fun and I have a supportive friend group who encourage my sobriety. It’s definitely not a boring life. I’m also not bothered by people drinking around me but I’m not going to spend my time in a bar unless there’s a reason for me to be there. Like a birthday party or to see a band play.
This is something that takes a lot to even admit to an audience who didn’t know, let alone go into detail with the story and video and still apologize for it to the people it bothered, mad respect

I'm a recovering addict alcoholic for 7 years now it's not always easy keeping those pesky little horror demons at bay ... Dude I have a ton of respect for you your definitely a power of example on what a decent human being is and what a real man is so thankyou ❤️
Have a drink
ok so I commented this exact thing on a seperate comment so I thought it would be okay if I copied + pasted it. if you happen to find the time then please lmk your thoughts! (only if you feel comfortable w doing so ofc). my reply to the comment was: “raised by an alcoholic and having my first sip of alcohol as a teenager, I automatically knew that I was going to become an addict. I’m still an addict at age 22 now and currently on the wait list for rehab. if you don’t mind me asking - do you have any recovery tips as a recovering alcoholic?”
Eh, I wouldn't put in on that high a pedestal. Actually, I have much more respect for you. Getting through an actual addiction both physically and mentally is waaay more challenging then just giving up a bit of party drinking. Getting addicted itself is often times a genetic thing. Lots of people are susceptible to addiction, couple that with social problems it's really fucking hard to quit that then. So respect to you man. I have respect for charlie in the sense that he's making this public. If you're not addicted to alcohol, why the heck would you deserve respect for not drinking any? It's a rather simple, rational choice. You either choose to live with the crappy, unhealthy bullshit that comes along with the 1-2 hours of fun and relief or you don't and save yourself money and loads of suffering. Remember you always have a choice.
Lets just say if you drink everyday make a rule for yourself to only drink day 1 then skip day 2 and drink day 3 again eventually making it longer and getting drunk once a week then 2 weeks and so on eventually you wont feel the desire to get drunk anymore@@sxhizornsmn
@@birbdad1842well thankyou I sincerely appreciate your comments....
I've been working through alcoholism over the past 5 years and it's been tough. Always feels like you'll be fine then something like this inevitably happens. My last episode made me realize how bad I actually want to stop and hope I can stick to it. Be a month sober in 5 days.
Wrong approach. You are sober for 25 days. Nobody ever told you : One day at a time!?- Take it from someone with 20yrs2months2days of sobriety.-Change your way of thinking, you too can do it!
Wishing you well. Keep at it. Forever. Work hard to become a person you are happy with when sober.
@elkevera Thanks I have good support this time around, and I made it a year and 5 months the time before this, so I'm in a better place than I've ever been.
The first month is the hardest, but it’s also an amazing accomplishment!
awesome work man you can do it! happy almost 1 month you're doing amazing!
I was an alcoholic and was sober for 8 months. I broke it just recently during a brunch, but I have never been able to moderate, one turns into two and two turns into three. The feeling of shame when going to far again is so real so thank you for sharing this, it makes me feel less alone actually to see that everyone makes mistakes even the people I look up to.
15 mixed drinks for a man of Charlie's size is insane. that's like 23 drinks scaled up to average size. Glad you're okay brother
This is the most sincere apology video I have ever seen on KZhead. Charlie's story telling reminds me a lot of my grandfather who would completely immerse me and my siblings in to his shenanigans when he was growing up, so many funny things and stuff I probably will never experience in my life. RIP Grandpa Joey. Thanks for the content Charlie and Crew, much love. Edit: thanks for all the likes! Hope you are having a blessed day ❤

As an addict who had been questioning if my sobriety is worth it lately. Thank you for this.
Its okay Charlie, I had the flu on a 16 hour roadtrip, from DC to Florida, with my entire 8th grade graduating class on a Magic Carpet Ride bus. I threw up in the bus toilet, in a large McDonalds cup (which overflowed onto the floor), inside a Golden Corral, outside a Golden Corral, outside a rest station, and dry heaved for hours into a lunch box. With 40+ of my school peers watching! How wonderful it is to have exerlasting memories of those trying times! But in all seriousness, I'm glad your friends supported you through this. Maybe the real road trip is the friends we made along the way.
Man I feel you, Getting wasted then waking up still with a massive buzz sucks hard. Especially when you gotta do things, I can only imagine the feeling of having to sit stewing in a van for 6 hours hungover LOL. God bless ya man.

As an ex-engineer at a hotel, I sure hope to god that you left a nice 13.9 Million subscriber-sized tip for those who had to clean up after your mess. We have had to literally tear up the carpet after stuff like this. It is usually a several-day job where the unit has to be taken off of the books where the hotel is not able to rent it out anymore. MANY many hotels do all of their repair work in-house. Busted pipe in the wall? Engineers. Bathtub leaking water into the lower unit? Engineers. Being forced by management to clean hazmat stuff like that makes you want to quit your job.
I work in the field of addiction, and I think this is a great video. Glad you uploaded it. Recovery looks different for different people, so I never fault anyone for thinking they can handle things down the line. Some can. Most can't. It's okay to make mistakes in finding your own limits, so long as you learn from it and update your boundaries. I know you didn't ask, but if you end up having this problem again, I do have a suggestion. Maybe have harder number/time/occasion limits on the "couple of drinks" rule? I find clearer boundaries help avoid slippery slope mishaps. Leaving wiggle room for this kind of stuff can accidentally complicate things. Your honesty is awesome, and this video is a great way to keep yourself in line in the future (while potentially helping others). I'm rooting for ya!
I am NOT a social drinker, I drink ALONE by myself all throughout the night. Its been hard for me to stop because I think I am self medicating my OCD/Anxiety/ADHD. I only feel "normal" when drinking, it slows my mind but also makes me feel good so its bad on both ends. Do you recommend anything for that circumstance?
I relapsed on drugs (not weed) recently and it felt like my world was just ending when I came down; there was just a massive void. There's a lot of guilt and shame and barfing, it's not a fun time. Whether you stay completely sober, drink occasionally, or even go back to overdoing it, I'll always support you! Wishing you nothing but the best 🩵
Stay strong gang 💪
stay strong, friend, i believe in you!
I Hope you stick around friend. Stay strong and stay alive 🤙🏻

I feel you Charlie. I opened my flood gates recently and had to admit my faults to my confidants to move past it. I appreciate you standing and dealing with your shit.
Makes you realize that staying sober is relatively easy. Whats difficult is having control and being able to keep a constant state between being sober and being addicted to alcohol that is, drinking occasionally.
As someone with an addictive personality there was never such a thing as "I'll just have one drink." I used to get blackout drunk every night and i finally seen the writing on the wall and decided to quit drinking all together. Its been 3 years and I've never felt better, good on you for having self control and drinking in moderation.
i would get close to sloshed every night when gaming with the boys, been sober for 6+ mo now so feeling pretty good, my energy and motivation the next morning for adult tasks is much better , and my house and kids thank me for it 💪
i used to be like that but i was able to set limits and either impose a number of drinks during this event or a dollar limit not going over it.
I feel you. We don't go out very often any more but when we do, it easily gets out of hand. Thankfully it's only twice a year 😂. But that is about the only time I drink anymore.
This guy is so funny 😂😂😂

I was an alcoholic for 20 years. However in the past five years I’ve had 12 beers. The thing for me is I’m near 50 years old, and I just don’t wanna go through hangovers ever again. Just thinking about what you went through made me remember vividly how it feels. Never again.
weed + alcohol is awesome but what blender cage said about hangovers is soooo true, bro I drank maybe 5 shots of vodka last night with legit a gallon of water expecting less misery the next day, nope woke up at 5 am with the worst migraine ever lol alcohol is so awesome I hate it, its weed for me exclusively(that's a lie)@@noonyabeezniss4911
This story actually reminds me of the last time I got drunk. Pool hall bar, jack Daniel's and an asshole that knew I was too dunk to say no more. I was hung for 3 days, poisoned, held up an out of town jobsite for 2 days, waiting for me to be able to move. Almost fired, never drunk again and that was 23 years ago.
That's amazing. Congratulations
I drank a half a liter of Ice 101 before a party once and the first thing I did when I got there was chug a half gallon of Popov cheap vodka for about 10 seconds trying to show off. It was the last thing I could remember and woke up with alcohol poisoning. I had white poison pockets in the back of my throat for 2 days and felt like pure death. Worst hangover ever.
That’s why I eventually stopped drinking. The aftermath just isn’t worth it especially as you get older
It's been over 7 years since I have drank and stories like this make me not miss it at all! Thanks for the reminder haha.
Stories like this make me glad I have made the decision to never drink alcohol. Stories like this make drinking sound like one of the miserable exercises you can put yourself through. So I have no desire to ever know what it's like to drink alcohol. And I am 31 at this point, so I have been saying no to alcohol for awhile at this point.
I envy charlie's ability to use the back seat as a full sized bed.
doubt it, it was probably the camera angle, we all know charlie is around 6’5
Its the camera angle,, its just a really unflattering angle that was meant to belittle the hulking testosterone titan that is charlie
I have 14 years with no alcohol and every now and again my addict brain tells me I can have a beer or two. Then my recovering brain says “no bitch! You CANNOT! You are an alcoholic and there is no safe amount for you besides ZERO!” It’s a good reminder to not fall off. Thank you for being so honest and accountable. You are a pretty amazing human
First of all, congrats to 14 years without drinking. But how the hell do you consider yourself "recovering" and an "alcoholic" if you've managed to not drink for 14 years? You're done man. You're not an alcoholic. You're just a person that doesn't drink. I mean this in the best way possible. (Sorry if there are any errors. English is not my first language.)
@bekampfemittelmaigkeit4569 I love this sentiment I think the recovering title is because with addiction, once you're addicted you never quite heal fully a lot of the time, you always have an urge to go back when things get hard, it's like a safety blanket that you turn to all the time. Unfortunately with addiction, the recovery period is the final stage, no one ever truly gets over it But I agree, 14 years is so impressive and I one day hope that I will be able to say the same, amazing work OP!
An alcoholic is someone that is unable to stop drinking, even though he wants to. Someone that does not drink, is not an alcoholic. Identification with the Problem is what makes it hard for the affected person, not do drink. If you look at the reasons that enable you to not identify with being hooked to alcohol, then not drinking stops requiring effort. Not drinking for 14 years makes you a non-drinker. It's reason enough to not identify with being an alcoholic. Stop believing you're an alcoholic and not-drinking stops requiring effort. If it still requires effort for you to not drink, then go read Allen Carr's Book "The easy way to control alcohol" I have stopped drinking last year and since then i can't count a single time where I seriously felt bad about not drinking or had to put effort into not drinking alcohol. This is the final stage. Not recovery. Not feeling like an alcoholic. It's just not being a drinker.
@@bekampfemittelmaigkeit4569Love a good bit of "literally just think you're better and you'll be better"
Proud of u Charlie! Been sober myself for almost 2 years. It’s crazy how a substance can steal your life away from you.
I watch you quite a bit for your relatable calm perspectives, call it out mentality and honest opinions on issues. I find it very strong of you to admit your mistakes by choice, even though you didn't get called out or cancelled. Also thanks for the info for others suffering or us that previously were. Huge props & thank you!
I haven’t had a drink in almost 9 years and any time I’m feeling the itch I just “play the tape forward” and think about how horrible I’d feel in every single way if I did and it keeps me on the level; stories like Charlie’s also help remind me of how glad I am that I’ll never be hungover again
I like that. Totally gonna use that phrasing. Thanks.
@@XOChristianaNicole Right on! The one that actually saved my life was, “You can’t think your way into healthy behavior, but you can behave your way into healthy thinking.”
@@DiscGoStuyeah play the tape forward was one of the most helpful phrases I’ve learned. Cause god damn getting high is the best thing ever, but it’ll kill me, ruin my life, and right after I use that regret and already going to pick up more is gonna suck
I appreciate how honest Charlie is about how bad being drunk can be - it’s fun until it’s not. It can be so dehumanising 😅
That's true for everything that can be fun tho. Getting high from drugs is fun, untill its not. Having sex is fun, untill its not(if someone has 5x your libido, it starts being a chore untill you actively dislike it). Exercise is fun, untill its not. The main problem with drugs and alcohol, is that you dont realize its losing its fun untill its too late, or untill you sober up.

This is the video I'm going to share with my daughter to begin the dialog of the dangers of binge drinking. Being raised by alcoholics myself, I was stunned by the possibility that I had become an alcoholic in my twenties. I didn't consider my drinking problematic as I could abstain from alcohol for very long strenches, unlike my parents. It wasn't until I attended an AA meeting with a family member that I realized and accepted that I too was an addict and that anxiety/stress triggered my binge drinking. If I start, I can't stop and like you, the hangovers were unbearable. Unlike you, I did hurt myself the last time I binged and woken up in a hospital handcuffed to the bed with police officers babysitting me. I had been injured, can't remember how and had refused help which is why I had bracelets on. I disfigured my face and never drank again to this day. Thankfully, I didn't drive nor hurt anyone other than myself. Blacking out is very dangerous and I'm grateful for the officers who rescued me from myself. Apparently I was found bleeding on a sidewalk in some sketchy neighborhood next to a dumpster. That was 14 years ago. Unfortunately my parents never got sober, lost everything and now are paying with toll with permanent brain damage in the form of Alzehemier's Disease. Some people can drink, have fun, not get drunk and don't experience blackouts. I'm just not one of those people... sounds like you're not either. Thanks for sharing your story with such honesty and not editing out the "embarrassing" parts. Please take care of yourself. Much Respect from 🇨🇦
Alcohol runs deep in our history of Canada. Glad you were able to get sober bud, it's very tough Ive been there too.
❤❤ never go back on it I envy you and every alcoholic on the other side of it. I'm trying so hard to get there I have a completely different type of drinking behaviour than you and many others, I drink one drink every couple hours all day to self medicate an anxiety disorder. I almost never get drunk or hungover it's just a constant dulling of the senses. Love from Ontario
I feel like lot of young people doesn´t even know that they have a problem, as you "recover" quicker....I was in my early 20´s, at college, partying multiple times a week and looking back now, I really don´t understand how I was able to live like that...if I would do that now I don´t think I would be functional human being....good think you are talking with your girl about this. I live in central Europe and drinking alcohol is always huge part of socializing. No one in my family had alcohol problem, but also no one really talk with me about this....I feel like if they did, maybe I would spent my early 20´s wiser
im just glad i was able to keep away from that aspect of my family history, i just dont enjoy even beeing mildly drunk. its a lack of controle, and it makes you feel misserable. i feel better not drinking, and i only drink one beer if i go out because i like how it tastes, luckily now they have alcohol free which is helthier.
Sorry for that bro stay safe
At least you have great friends around you. That's lovely to see. They took care of you and laughed with you and it shows so much love.
CoA here, Really proud of you for assessing your self, having the courage to be honest with yourself, and making a plan to take care of you. Seeing my father struggle with this for 35 years I know it takes a whole lot of courage and also integrity to go this happened and this is my plan to make changes. I respected you before, and I still do. To the others in the chat telling their first hand stories in your fights to staying sober, I'm proud of you too neighbours. This shit ain't easy, or pretty. Thank you for trying today.
I'm a recovering addict and the concept of being able to stop at a couple drinks is so wild to me. Not in a bad way!; I'm just not able to have a single beer without it ending in me slamming dope behind a dumpster by the end of the night lol. Moderation is a great way to go, and I'm glad it's becoming more accepted for people to not participate in drinking without being bothered about why.
Some people lose all sence when they drink. I'm glad I don't. I also don't get drunk without a lot of alcohol. That may be because I drink all the time. It's funny that I can not drink for days without ill effects. I had six 16oz Coors Banquets today and didn't even get a buzz. I sure enjoy the taste, though. Shit... make it seven.
@@xitywampas do mind, even the smallest amount of drinking permanently damages your body and brain. Doesn't matter if you feel a buzz. Even if it's little, it counts up. The only exception is when you're old, drinking 1 drink a week can have a net positive effect by helping unclogging arteries. But that's only when you're so old that you won't live long enough to experience the long term effects of alcohol.
I love your outfit and ur hair :0 kinda makes me think abt dyeing mine again lol
I'm someone who has never liked the taste or feeling of alcohol and my friends for a while would call me a bitch or a pussy for not doing shots with them. It took me getting angry with them and screaming that I don't like drinking and to stop asking/insulting me to take shots. I really hope less people in the future try to pressure others into drinking with them when they say no. Best of luck to you, I really hope your road to recovery is as healthy as it can possibly be. ❤
@@megustAslagt You're right. I should have been more clear. I'm surprised I'm not chemically dependent. I would think I would feel bad when I don't drink after drinking so much for so long, was what I meant.
This actually made me feel kind of good, not because of charlies suffering, but because I thought only horrid people get too drunk to project vomit in someones car, but if charlie has commited this mistake, it makes me feel a little less awful
We all make mistakes. We learn.
Just remember, very little things in this world are irredeemable. You can shit your pants, or projectile vomit on someone/on something as an adult and most other adults will sympathize with you.
Thank you for sharing man. I live in a country where alcoholism is such a tabboo people think when you say you are ''an alcohollic'' you mean drinking more than twice a week. While for me i go bad shit like you did in your fun night. good you realise you shouldnt drink. I have my occasional relapse and hate myself everytime for it.
I appreciate how open and honest you are
I just wanted to say that I appreciate that even when it comes to his own flaws he remains honest, down to earth, and blunt.
I like how you can see the hangover hit Charlie so hard you can't tell if the area around his eyes are pale, or the area around his nose is red.
I need this in my life. It's so wholesome yet sad to see all this goofiness yet be unable to experience none.
Thank you for talking about this it makes me feel less bad about when I threw up everywhere
Thank you Charlie. As a 33 year old. I struggle with quitting. The older i get the more it takes so long to get over a hangover. I hate the feeling, and I wanna go cold turkey so bad.
Make sure to set reasonable goals. If you try for cold turkey and fail, which is highly likely, you'll simply feel more defeated and thus more prone to giving up altogether. For instance, if you usually drink while out and not at home, maybe try using *only* cash to pay for your drinks starting with $50 the first week/month/whatever time span, then $45, then $40, etc. Keep only that amount in your wallet so you don't succumb to temptation to buy more. Hopefully, by the time you get down to $5, you'll just order a milkshake or something else instead! Godspeed! 👍
Just as a PSA for yourself and anyone else reading , if your problem with drinking its relatively severe DO NOT QUIT COLD TURKEY. Alcohol is one of the few substances that if you’ve become physically dependent on it quitting cold turkey can lead to seizures and death. If you suffer from withdrawal symptoms when you try and cut back/quit then please consult a professional or at the very least do some proper research into how you can quit safely. I have a mother who’s currently in rehab and in the months/year leading up to it she was constantly told by doctors to be extremely careful about cutting out too much too quickly. Gradually tapering off your usage in a controlled manner is the safest and most effective method if you are going to do it by yourself. Good luck to anyone who is trying to quit, I know you can do this. It’s immensely difficult but at the end you’ll never for a single second regret doing it. Life gets a lot better when your addiction is no longer in control.
To help get used to change, try with something that doesn't affect you much. If you usually get up at 7am, change it to 645am. We do best when we ease into it. Be gentle with yourself. This is for the rest of your life, it is important to let each small step be fully incorporated, then try the next. When we change too quickly, it makes a weaker foundation to step off of and, too often, it all falls down. Take care.
Don't go cold turkey if your drinking is pretty severe. That will probably hurt more than even your worst hangover. If you want to try quitting on your own as opposed to seeking help from professionals, I would suggest weaning yourself off little by little until your body becomes less dependent on the alcohol over time as opposed to just completely quitting all together. That could be dangerous.
Dont go cold turkey, this can cause depression due to the receptors in your brain. Step by step is easier
This man is a real one, he’s honest with himself and everyone else, he’s a mad lad

hearing stories like this is the only time i'm glad that my body throws up and i feel sick after 3-4 drinks. i used to be annoyed by it, but, i will never relate to, like, a completely altered state, or blacking out, or anything, because my body just nopes out before i ever get to that point
choose the top shelf stuff. brother. they always use the standard spirits in their mixdrinks and cocktails. you have to specifically request what spirit you want in those

God I hate the feeling of being drunk. You describe it perfectly. It feels like hours and hours go by and it’s only been minutes. Then you know you’re going to feel worse and worse for hour after hour.
Maybe drink with friends and not on your own so.
I don’t really drink much any more at all. Occasional glass of wine or a beer. But pretty much never more than one.
Being drunk is pretty tits. Except I can’t do brown liquor. Conveniently the last two times I drank I ended up getting extremely sick. Not cool
I wonder if it is genetic or something. I haven't had that issue lol. Worst I've ever gotten was getting more and more tired and dizzy, and then really wanting to sleep.
There's a golden zone, just before the Event Horizon where it just a blissful buzz, I swear its one shot from complete spiral into hugging a toilet.
About two months ago I went through the same thing. I hardly drink at all. But I went to the Ren fair with friends and I went out on the mead and cinders. I was destroyed. The worst I ever felt in my life. I was drunk for over 12 hours. I have the same pledge as Charlie here.
