What Alcohol Does to Your Body

Check out all the cool stuff! beacons.page/instituteofhumananatomy

Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Having been a moderate/heavy drinker for 7 years and feeling the effects on my body and some recent health scares, this video is just that much more of a motivator to finally quit, which I'm on day 4. Wish me luck and if you're in a similar situation, prayers to you.

I used to work at a liquor store. I had to quit after about 10 months because I just couldn’t sell alcohol to alcoholics anymore. It was so so so sad to see the same people every day, and for some, several times a day. They looked so defeated. I just wanted to give them a hug instead of ringing in their purchase.

I am a retired Coroner and nothing helped learning and staying sharp more than autopsies, exposure to the real thing. Always was a honour and humbling to witness these wonders.

My Mom donated her body & her brain really helped doctors to learn more about Lewy Body Dementia. I’m very proud of her.

Three years sober from alcohol. My body has never felt better and my liver is my homie now I take care of him <3

I’m scared, I’ve abused my body so much and at 28 I feel so unhealthy. I’m two weeks sober and excited to start pursuing new interests with the hopes of feeling better.

I’m 29 and never drank a drop of alcohol my entire life. At some times I thought I was missing out on some fun, but the more time passes the happier I am of my decision to be lifelong sober.

Can we all agree that this video needs to be played in high school. So people are taught what really happens to your body. Great video!

EDIT: I didn't expect a single reply when I wrote this. I just wanted to speak about my experience and I appreciate everyone's kindness. I have reached the 2 year mark and am healthier than I every was before in my life. I have lost 40 lbs. have taken martial arts for 20 months, am fit, and have received 2 promotions at work. I appreciate you all and hope everyone has a great day. Original post: I was a heavy drinker for almost 20 years. I am currently 12 days away from 1 year sober. Not a day goes by where I do not want a drink and the struggle doesn't go away, I just continue to deal with it day by day. Kudos to anyone that continues the journey, whether it is day 1 or 1000, day 1 for the umpteenth time. Whether you are in recovery or if you want to quit and are thinking about it, know that people out there that do not know you at all are rooting for you.

A little mind trick that helps me overcome my urge to get sloshed, is imagining myself in scenarios where I am happy and also sober. I also imagine all the times I was happy and not drinking. This is essentially the opposite of what people do when they feed their urges to justify getting drunk even if it seems like a bad idea, because of all the good times they had while drinking before... This is no full proof method but it helps me. You can also watch informative and elucidating videos such as this one.

6 yrs sober today after being put in icu an diagnosed with cirrhosis. So happy and healthy today!! I’ve never felt better 🙏🏼🤙🏼 so glad to see something like this this for others to learn understand 😊

I gave up alcohol one year ago. I'm a recovering addict as well and it's a very difficult battle to win. But I'm winning it. Just went through the end of year stuff sober for the first time in 20 years. I feel a bit depressed today and watching this helped me.

Been liquor free for 4 years, cut cigarettes and vaping out over a year ago........And I dont regret a second of it. I battled with alcohol for 15 years. I have lost 60lbs, and I am back to running 3 to 4 miles again everyday and lifting weights. Health=wealth

I am a very heavy drinker who just stopped a few days ago I'm learning about alcohol help videos and happen to come across this one but the anatomy absolutely fantastic really really helps say no to when you want to have one.thks for sharing this 👍

All tearing up. Mom donated her body to Wits University for medical science. Bless her soul. I will be going the same way. So good to hear that you appreciate the gift of after life. ❤

Completed 9 months alcohol free....at times I get the urge but still managing it and going strong!! EDIT — Now I've completed ONE YEAR alcohol free. Thanks for the comments folks, it becomes easier and easier with time 🙏😀

If every college professon could teach like this, we would all have jumped out of bed at 6am to get to class by 7.

I am now an injecting diabetic thanks to drinking. Having my damaged Pancreas as the reason I quit drinking has made this time (third time) of stopping drinking the easiest of them all. I am 3.5 years sober and loving every minute of it.
