Hi, I'm Lucy | Lucy Moon

I love you and this is incredibly brave and strong. And I'm sorry we didn't understand the signs. But now we're all here for you and this helps us help you! <3

I think alcohol and getting drunk frequently is a bit too normalized in general. Probably why no one can see when there is clearly a problem.

This must have been so hard to make. Mad respect.

<3

BIG LOVE LUCY! This is incredibly brave and admirable of you. God speed <3

My mother was an alcoholic for the past few years and passed away in July. We never saw the signs. Alcoholics are not just people who stagger around and slur their words and sit in the pub all day. Alcoholics may seem perfectly fine. Alcoholism does not make sense to most people. People need support and need to know it's okay to speak about their problems.

I'm 18 and I've never gotten drunk, but I have an extremely addictive personality. I've decided that I'm just going to completely stay away from alcohol. With all I've seen (which is not even that much compared to some) I know that it wouldn't be worth it because it's ruined so many lives, and even the lives it doesn't ruin, it really doesn't make them any better. I don't judge people for the way they live but I do wish more people my age would see it the way I do: more harmful than it's worth.

Lucy this is so heavy and real. Thanks for sharing. <3

Until I watched this video I had stereotyped "drunkeds" as these 50 yr old men with beer bellies who go down to the pub and drink tons being aware that they need to stop but they dont. This has opened my mind to a whole new perspective as you are someone I admire. I hope with the support of your friend and family you can fight this. i love you x

As the daughter of a regularly relapsing alcoholic, I really appreciate you talking about this, thank you.

I'll be sober now for 37 years tomorrow. I know it can be done. well done you. happy for you

For Lucy: I'm 17 and have lived with my loving family my whole life. My father is an alcoholic and it doesn't change how I see him. He drinks because his service in the war, his mistakes, and his alcoholism. Our family deals with it well and always remind our selves its not the person its the disease. People who truly love you will stay to support you and can attend Al-anon for loved ones of alcoholics. And you can attend AA meetings. Find people to talk to about it and help you. I often hear, 90 meetings in 90 days. He can do it and so can you. and even if you fail and start over it is a life long battle and you'll have to get up and keep fighting it. Love your videos by the way, beautiful person, beautiful life. Dont give it up

This was really enlightening to watch Lucy. Being a 16 year old who has never gotten drunk (had a few 4% ciders but thats about the peak aha) you see alcohol and being drunk glorified within social media and the media in general. Education within alcoholism and being drunk is limited and lots of people who never drink alcohol go for the first time at 18 and completely black out because they have no idea what they are doing. This must of been such a hard video for you to make but believe me this was sooo helpful, thank you xxxxxx

Dear Lucy, Please consider finding a support group or an AA community. You don't have to go through withdraw and the road to sobriety alone. The rates of success in remaining sober while in a support group are so much higher than trying on your own.

I am in tears. You are the exact same as me and every time I tell my friends I'm going to stop drinking completely they say the same thing... "just slow down." I have been trying to "slow down" for YEARS but it just isn't possible. I have one drink and I can not stop for the life of me. I have destroyed relationships by becoming a monster when I drink. But I think being a sweet, innocent 20 year old girl (when I'm sober) confuses people. I know I have a problem and I need to stop... thank you for this video. I truly believe it is fate that this was on my recommended page and I wish you all the best, Lucy. We've got this!

I love you and I am proud of you. Thank you for using your voice. I support you. x

It's so hard staying sober it really is but I've been sober for 3 months now, it is possible Lucy 💓 keep strong

Brave video. Proud of you :) miss you pal, hope you're doing okay

Even though I'm 16 and technically still underage, all of my friends have been drinking heavily for a few years now, and that's the reason I've decided to be straight edge. I know I have an addictive personality, and because I've always been a little (aka a lot) insecure around people and I always want people to like me, I know that if I started drinking there's a high chance that something similar to this would happen to me. Also because of the supposed calming effects of alcohol as it is a depressant I know it would be so easy to use it constantly as a way to calm my anxiety, especially when I'm out in places with lots of people that would stress me out, so I really don't want to run that risk whatsoever. Alcohol can be a fun recreational drug that can be fun to drink in moderation, but the risk of it becoming an issue for me is too high for me to risk, and the potential negative side effects of that would be way too severe for me to risk for the sake of taking a substance I don't like anyway just because everyone else is and I want to fit in. You're so brave for making this Lucy, and the fact that you're aware of your problem and are working to make it right shows such great strength! I'm proud of you girl, keep going, if you slip up its okay, just focus on your little achievements along the way to keep you on track, and hopefully you'll be much healthier and happier for it! Much love ❤️

Your comment on your social circles loving alcohol hit home for me. I'm coming up for 1 year sober and finding things to do with friends that werent alcohol was tough in the beginning. Even now tbh.
