I'm Quitting

I need to make a promise to all of you for my own good.

When I first seen the notification "im quitting" I pulled over and was worried. What would make 2 want to quit. After watching the vlog...where do I even begin. 2 gryphan, You are an amazing person. To admit you have a problem and want help takes real guts. I can only guess at the hell you been through with everything and mostly everyone raining hell on you for everything but I'm proud of you. It won't be easy though there is going to be times were your really gonna want it bad but you have to be strong and learn to better control this. We have faith in you and are here if you need the help. Your not alone in this. As a suggestion though. Rather then drink the new bottle, why not give it to a friend. Ask them for help. We don't want to see a good person like you get hurt or at worse die. The world has enough hate and death in it. We don't need one more to be added to it. I would consider you a good friend 2 and that's something I don't say much to many people. We all have your back and will try to help were we can.

It takes courage to do what you've done here. You've asked for accountability, and many of us will happily help you enforce it.

2, I'm going to give you a stern speech right now, but don't take that the wrong way. I have lived with two alcoholics in my life. My parents. My mom was worse than my dad, but they were still both people who drowned their problems with either a crate of beer or a bottle of vodka. They both died due to indirect effects of that lifestyle. My father was 52 when he died and my mother was 49. Do not underestimate what this can do to you. Having lived through that I can tell you a thing or two about alcohol, and I can tell you that you are taking the wrong approach. Why? Because even in this video you're already saying "Oh I can drink on weekends, oh I can drink at parties, I can drink at cons." No. No, you cannot. If you are serious about this, and you are serious about not wanting to drink yourself to death you will have to stop drinking entirely. Not a drop. Ever again. For as long as you keep drinking, no matter how little, old habbits will eventually return. The second your life kicks you in the balls you will reach for that bottle because "one more can't hurt" and "I really need this right now." I've seen it happen and it will happen to you if you choose to kick your addiction that way. You WILL end up right back where you started. Secondly, the strength of your addiction is showing very clearly in the video and you might not even notice it yourself. Think about this. You made a video about how bad drinking is for you, how badly you want to quit. But in that same video you actually have the audacity to come up with an excuse right there on the spot to finish two bottles of vodka you have laying around, "because you hate wasting money." That is the worst excuse I have ever heard, my friend. And if you are remotely serious about quiting you would open those bottles and pour them down the drain right now. Do not have alcohol in the house. Do not have it in your room. Do not buy it, do not drink it. Avoid it entirely if you actually want to do this. Thirdly, while I get the notion of your plan and using your internet friends and audience as a backup, it isn't going to work. Alcoholics are sneaky by nature. Believe me I've seen it first hand. I've found my mother's bottles hidden in places you can't possibly imagine and you think people on the internet, who can't actually physically check up on you, are going to prevent you from drinking? If you want to drink, you're going to drink. You're going to drink off camera, you're going to cut it out the videos and you're going to lie about it to the people you asked for help. You may not think it will happen, but it will. There's really nothing stopping you but your own pride. And that pride goes out the window real fast when you're craving a drink. That said, it's already a major step forward that you are able to recognize yourself as an alcoholic and admit to yourself you have a problem. But you don't need internet peoples to help you with this. What you need to do is ask the people who live around you in real life to help you with this. You need to talk about this with your housemates, make them understand the problem and have them help you. Have them support you. Ask your neighbors to check on you, inform the people at your local store about your problem and to keep an eye on you. Have a chat with your doctor and find help in your local community. They can all do things that we on the internet can't. They can detect a lie, we can't. They can smell alcohol on you, we can't. They can find hidden bottles and prevent you from buying new ones, we can't. Just don't go to AA meetings, that's some cultish religious crap and you know it. Get professional help from people who don't use your faith in god as a measure of how clean you are. Again, this isn't meant to put you down, this is meant to open your eyes to the fact that your subconscious is holding you back from making the really hard decisions. Think about everything I wrote here and think about it long and hard. I'm pretty sure you'll come to the conclusion that I'm right. And yes it will suck. I wish you the best of luck in getting sober, 2. If you ever want to chat about any of this or need some more stern speeches to keep yourself in check, don't hesitate to ask. I may not be able to physically prevent you from drinking, but I will verbally rip you a new asshole if I ever catch you drinking on my watch and breaking your promises. Now go pour those bottles.

You know, I never realized you were drinking vodka during your gameplay video recordings, but good for you for making the decision to quit. We're all here for you if you need to talk to any of us. Message me if you need an ear or a shoulder, friend.

I want to give you a great big hug right now. Your drinking is something I've been concerned about for quite a while so it's great to see you want to make a strong effort to quit it. Robin Franke up above has some really good advice there. I totally agree that wanting to go through the last of your vodka because you don't want to waste it is a bad idea. Give it to a friend so at least the money isn't wasted, but if you keep it around it'll be all the harder to give it up. I've known a few people over the years who wanted to give up smoking but always kept a pack of cigarettes around for "special occasions", or decided to only smoke on certain days or during certain events like conventions, or only smoke socially with others but never by themselves. It took them all many years to finally quit smoking because all the excuses and exceptions made it so much harder. Definitely give away the rest of your booze if you don't want it to go to waste. You should make this promise to yourself and do this for yourself more than for us because you're the one who's going to benefit most from quitting drinking (and because it's you who will face all the consequences if you don't stick with it). You ARE worth it, and worth caring about. We're all here for you, and the love is mutual. Please keep us posted in how you're coming along with it all.

We are all here to support you. It will be a long road with many challenges, but it will be well worth it in the end.

I agree with this. Even if you want to keep open the possibilities of grabbing a drink with fans or friends at a con, I would say it would be better to quit completely first than to try to get away from always getting roaring drunk with getting roaring drunk in certain circumstances still on the table.

2, I'm not gonna make this long winded, or I'll try not to. I stumbled across your work in my early teens when I was living at home with my two alcoholic parents. Shit was rough. In the beginning the excuse was oh we'll just drink a few on the weekend but that gradually slipped from just being a 'weekend only' thing into an every day thing. It went from beer to slipping something a bit stronger into their morning coffee every day and bottles being hidden at work desks. They'd both buy a case each of beer Friday night for the weekend and come Sunday night it'd be empty. It's a slippery slope. You're a smart man I don't have to tell you that. You know your addiction better than anyone else. You're living it. Whatever you spent on the bottles you have I don't think it's a waste to throw it. I'd say dump it. Throw it out and mark that as a new beginning. It'll better your health in the long run to stop? Money well spent in that case. I know you say you don't care about yourself. You care about us and your close circle. But I can pretty confidently say we all care about you. So I know it's hard to see it from our perspective but we care about you so you gotta care about you dude! Personally I want you on this Earth bawking for many years to come. This step you're taking is a big one and it's gonna be rough but we're all here for you.

We're all here behind you, 2. I'm here. As someone who's been a fan for many years, I want you to be around for many many more and in good health. I know you hate wasting money, but you should really just dump out the remainder of the booze, otherwise I'm afraid you'll slip back into your habit. It's not a waste if it means you starting on the road to a better you today rather than tomorrow or next week.

2! You allready broke the prommis when said "I will only drink thiss and and that bottle then no more" 2 my mom was a alcoholic and the only thing to stop is to stop totaly not yes partly. NO MORE ALCHOL AT ALL 2 NOT a single droop. AND you throw out what is left right now! If you whanna stop it total stop or nothing at all. And if you whant annyone to talk to I will gladly help. I know as I say how it affact family with alcoholism. I whant you to still do videos (even if you person will change (Just see Gorbachov)) and I whant you to keep your health up. So not a single droop from now on and go detoxing and make vlogs to tell us how it goes.

2, You are still loved. I haven't been in that situation, but I know it's gotta be hard. However, we all love to see you when healthy. I a loooong time ago you had said the same about stopping. We love you, it hurts to see you hurt regardless. If you need to have to go to a hospital, at least have a way that you are going. YOU need to care about yourself, it's hard, I have the same problem- to care about myself. Yes that is difficult, but to love yourself it helps your mental state as well. We are right with you no matter how rough or rocky that hurdle may be.
