We’re honest about a week where cravings feel constant from morning to night, even though we don’t want to drink. We talk through what helps, what feels like a band-aid, and why support matters when we start to retreat inward.
• intense alcohol cravings and mental fatigue during a stressful week 
• triggers that push us toward addiction and checking what sets them off 
• using CBD and non-alcoholic alternatives as short-term support 
• looking for practical coping strategies beyond quick fixes 
• the urge to isolate and why shutting down feels unhealthy 
• accepting addiction as ongoing and leaning on family and friends 
• encouragement for anyone on the road to sobriety

We can choose to give in to the KAOS, or we can forge a new path forward!

Friday Check-In And A Rough Week

SPEAKER_00

Happy Friday everyone. Hope you're doing well. It has been a week. How has your week been? I have wanted to have a drink so bad. It's honestly uh yeah, it's literally mentally draining

Cravings Take Over The Whole Day

SPEAKER_00

me. Um, for some reason this week, it's all I think about. So I figured I'd make a video and just chat with you guys about how do you deal with the addiction? How do you deal with the triggers that just cause you to, you know, take to your addiction and just let everything else fucking go?

Quick Relief With CBD And NA Drinks

SPEAKER_00

I find, you know, I do CBD, uh, that helps kind of calm the nerves, uh, non-alcoholic alternatives such as Corona Sunbrew and of course the undone non-alcohol rum. But besides that, you know, that's a band-aid. What do you, you know, and comment, comment on uh, comment on this, feel free. What do you do to deal with that? You know, do you go for a

Triggers, Laziness, And Daily Stress

SPEAKER_00

drive? Do you go for a walk? I'm not gonna lie, I'm really fucking lazy, so I probably won't be doing the walk. But for whatever reason, this week has just been very hard. You know, of course there's life stresses and whatnot, but uh I just find this last week has just every day, you know, from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. All I think about is drinking! So, yeah, I'm just you know, one day at a time and just trying to not obviously I don't want to drink.

Accepting Addiction And Seeking Support

SPEAKER_00

That's the thing. I don't want to drink, but how do I tell my brain that? I honestly wish that there was like a magic pill, you know, you could just take it and you wouldn't be an addict anymore. But you know, I guess some of the stuff I realized is I am an addict, and I will be an addict for the rest of my fucking life. Now I'm lucky that I have you know great support, you know, from my family, my wifey, you know, friends. Um, but uh yeah, I tend when I'm like this and when I'm dealing with this kind of you know need and addiction, I find that I I retreat inside, right? I kind of like shut myself out. And that ain't healthy.

You’re Not Alone On Sobriety

SPEAKER_00

So, you know, all I can do is just count down the hours till this day is also done. Um, but yeah, what do you do? You know, is there any special cure you can give me? Any suggestions? I will literally try almost anything except for walking. But honestly, I'd probably even try that right about now. But that's uh that's what I want to get off my mind. Uh, you know, it's Friday, so at least we have the weekend. Um, yeah, so hope you guys all are having a you know great week. Have a you know, happy Friday, have a great Friday, have a fantastic weekend. And you know, if you're on that road of sobriety or on that road to sobriety for that matter, congratulations. I'm proud of you, and you're not alone, you know. I'm sure, you know, whether you feel like you have anyone there for you, or maybe you feel like you know you're you're all alone, you're not. Always remember that. You are not alone. And you know, hopefully next week is just a just an easier week, you know. But uh, yeah, really appreciate you guys, you know, being here, listening to this, and uh yeah, we'll check you out next Friday. Have a good one.
