That's great! The book "30 Days to Sobriety" by Harper Daniels takes a mindfulness approach. Alcohol is a toxin that tricks the mind into believing its needed....there's also a lot of societal conditioning involved. I recommend the book. It's short. Pass it on or post it on social media....you can really help someone out.
Nice Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Saankramer Life Card System (do a google search)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning how to stop drinking without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy at very last got great success with it.
I quit drinking last year after being a daily beer drinker for 35 years. Might sound like BS, but the way I quit was by verbally telling myself I dont drink anymore and that "I'm not a drinker". Basically, everytime I felt like a trip to the liquor store, I would tell myself out loud that I dont drink. Sometimes it didnt work, and i would have a beer or two...but the very next day it was right back to the mantra. The verbal cue got me past the danger zone on many occasions and eventually I didnt even think about drinking. This worked for me. The BIGGEST obstacle is allowing a night of drinking to convince you that you are still a drinker. Dont let it.
I use very similar when I start thinking about drinking."IT WANTS A DRINK, I DON'T DRINK,I WILL NOT DRINK TODAY AND I WILL NOT CHANGE MY MIND"and I repeat till thought of drink passes
It's as simple as this, sometimes I don't understand why some people spend thousands on rehab (although to be fair it does work for some). An angle such as the one Steffon Barkload takes on his website seems much more healthier to me, and it's impossible to fail if you follow the steps.
This is probably the BEST video on drinking I’ve ever seen! My goal this year is to stop drinking,stop eating sugar, and to come off all my meds. I’ve drunk daily about 40 years. You are so right about the alcohol/sugar connection as well as the benefits of those vitamins, chamomile, etc. I have already adopted a new way of eating, which means very low carbs, and I look forward to ridding myself of my inflammation and desire for toxic substances. Thank you so much for sharing.
Dont forget to “live”!!! You CAN eat sugar - just not all the time but you need treats in life!!! You hate cake? Ice cream? Etc. Be cautious and do not try too much at once!! Best of luck😊
@@neighborbob3043 working on it. Since May, I’ve had several issues to deal with which have caused my dedication to fluctuate. Unfortunately some of my meds can’t be reduced, but the alcohol and sugar have been drastically reduced despite all I’ve been through.
I made it through day 6 despite a 4 hour craving. It was almost unbearable. I ran through every mental exercise I could think of, picturing the hurt I’d cause, the shame in the morning, the retching that would probably occur around lunchtime. I may be a pathetic excuse for a man, but if I can do it - so can you. You got this.
I’m on day 3 going into day four of sober life.. this has given my so much inspiration and agency moving forward in my sober lifestyle! Thanks very much!
I've been treating addicts as a mental health provider and drug and alcohol counselor for years, and what you have posted is GROUNDBREAKING! I love the holistic, natural ways you mention to repair cell damage and improve well-being. Thank you!
I enjoy your dopamine topic. There’s stats that 10-40 percent of people in recovery have ADHD….. which is exactly what you said or referred to as a dopamine deficiency….. that’s essentially what ADHD is…. Which is why we see them in recovery so much. Self medicating essentially…. At least in my experience!
If youre calmer and relaxed after drining its not a dopamine system problem but a gaba problem... Dopamine system is easy to diagnose now that we have 9ME-BC
I have just recently relapsed. Again.... I’ve been in the program for just over a year. So I’m particularly embarrassed about this relapse. I found you, and these videos today. And have been rewatching all day. I feel so excited to get on this horse again!! This information is what I’ve been missing.
Like all terrible habits - the "I'll start tomorrow" or "next week" or worse yet "next month" is the real danger. "start now" is the most powerful way to start. The reason we fail is because we put off goals. The reason we succeed is because we scratch the surface and take things on daily. Alcoholics don't give a second thought to cracking open a bottle - and this is the same power you must develop for being sober and engaging your real goals - not even a second thought, just doing them, and enjoying them - thus enjoying life.
Thanks Chris. I am 5 months no booze. Feel great. I listen to your podcast. I love it because you guys have a fresh perspective. Keep up the great work.
Financial stress plays such a MASSIVE role in over all stress. When I increased my income, it did more than diet, or being in a loving relationship with a woman combined.
I'm 55, quit for years but started up after again after divorce in 2008. Stupid!!! After covid hit, started banging 3 days a week.... This is inspiring... I'm done for good!
i know how you feel, also relapsed again. 3 -4 days a week....couldnt go to work because I felt so bad today. This substance is really not worth it. Let's quit again!
For anyone reading this and having trouble, the key for getting through is chamomile. It works similarly as alcohol and benzodiazepines on the GABA receptors and can help with Glutamate rebound. It’s a seesaw, GABA up - Glutamate down..... then the GABA goes down and your fucked when that glutamate rebounds upwards. This is what cause anxiety
Ok no joke, I've been having terrible withdrawal symptoms for the past 4 days. Worst ever. I tried chamomile tea last night because of this comment, and today I honestly feel 100 times better. I was actually able to eat food today and drink a lot of water, and actually walk around. Thank you so much.
@Dunnit Again hell yeah man I drink about 6 a day, and a couple times a week 10 or 12. But when I was 21 I spent 2-3 weeks about 23-24 beers a day that was hell I never get anxiety but when I was coming off of it it was bad almost passed out at work a couple times and I had a pain in my chest abnormal heartbeats high blood pressure etc insomnia, felt like I was having a heart attack a couple times. Woke up a few times covered in sweat I could feel my heart beating through my limbs I stopped for like a week then drank about 4-6 drinks per day malt liqour it’s a lot easier to manage no heart pains and I believe if you don’t have chest pains or pressure in your chest you’ll make it through by tapering, if you feel pressure in your chest constantly it’s prolly cut back time xD
WOW Chris!!!!! I am really proud of you for loading this very informative, evidence-based presentation at the forefront of addiction recovery using a holistic approach. Makes soooo much sense!!!!
I have a Cambridge degree ended up homeless. WTF also needed 3 mos rehab my ex always best friend. Tx for this story. I only like AA because of anonymity which allows people to be themselves. Whatever works
Wow! Ive been coming off opiates and watching videos everyday and trying everything to feel better. This might be the most helpful, most informative video Ive seen.
Great video! When I decided to stop consuming alcohol I drank probiotic turmeric shots everyday. I did not realize serotonin comes from the gut! I also took kava kava, fatty acids, milk thistle, & celery juice in the morning. It’s amazing when we start to treat our bodies right how they will start to react positively. 🙏
Thank you Chris; quite possibly the best video on alcohol recovery I’ve watched (and I watch far too many). I’ve always been interested in optimising physiology through supplementation and was familiar with many you’ve discussed here, particularly L-glutamine, but having it laid out in such a clear and concise manner and explained so in depth has given me great hope that supplementation can aid this horrific, progressive disease and may help me beat the chemically induced cravings with the help of AA and social support. Thanks again. Hope In 12 months I could reach out to you sober and offer my assistance in realising your goals for Fit Recovery George
Awesome presentation! Especially from someone who was actually addicted to alcohol, overweight and addicted to processed food and used amino acid therapy and nutrients as well as the other modalities to recover. Oftentimes the expert does not have a personal experience. 💜
@@lindalamb7512 he talks about it in this video and others. It's using certain amino acids to nourish brain and cut cravings for caffeine, alcohol, processed sugars/ foods. Look up Julia Ross The Craving Cure
Chris . I'm so grateful to have found your site in your videos it's a reflection of myself how I feel you're speaking about. Kind of like a mirror. Thank you Chris
Sober day 475 days I changed my life! Just completed my bachelors degree! And since that day I’m in the greatest shape of my life! I went from around 245 to 214 and am in the best shape of my life it’s amazing
It's great that he discusses very key points here that take the victim and the accused out of the alcoholism. I come from a family of attics, and alcoholics and I too am an alcoholic. The ideal it's not completely our fault and that the idea that we are making choices and behaviors but can't help it, really underscores the complexity of alcoholism.
My god. I have been struggling with alcohol addiction for 3 years. May-July 2020 i was sober with 2 relapses in aug-sept. My last drink was 3 days ago I bought 1/3 of the supplements listed today having withdrawals all day. Within 3 hours of taking them my brain feels great, no cravings, clarity even. This is some powerful information people with Ph.D's (phat head disease's) won't hop on board with for another decade ATLEAST.
@@jculleno You're wrong, I bought my husband 3 supplements to see if it would stop his beer drinking on weekends. That was Nov of 2020 and he hasn't wanted any since. He never knew what happened.
I've been AF for 7 years, and lately - for some reason - I've slacked off the nutrients. I'm so glad I found this video, because I'm half Scandinavian and haven't been getting quite enough Omega-3's. I've been craving alcohol for the last couple of weeks due to some triggers, although i haven't broken down and done it. Trying hard to stay sober, and this information is great!! I was really into the nutrients when I first got sober. The time is now appropriate for supplementation again (aside from Elderberry and Medicinal Mushrooms, which at least I have been taking. Thanks for the video!!
Suppliments are definitely something that should be encouraged to be used when stopping drinking. Anything to give you an edge and a feeling of well-being will give you an advantage.
Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Patlarny Abstinent Life Principle (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for getting rid of a drinking problem minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin at last got excellent success with it.
Today is my first week of being sober I feel terrible can't sleep at night only get about three hours of sleep I feel like I'm tweaking on drugs I'm getting anxiety I'm more quiet I'm not talking as much as use too I lost my goofiness like when I'm drunk make everybody laugh I feel like crap i feel like shit!!!
Your information has saved my life been taking the supplement that you posted. It like a curtain has opened up thank you very much I recommend you to anybody
Excellent Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Saankramer Life Card System (google it)? It is a good exclusive product for learning how to stop drinking without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend finally got excellent success with it.
To be honest... It DOESN'T work that way. You have to have something bigger to reach for ( goals... health)... just do something different and take it one day at a time. Peace
I've struggled with depression and anxiety for 15 years. I never touched drink before 20. It took quite a few years but I'm now 30 and the past 3 years I've ended up as a daily drinker. I have had 2 alcohol free days recently but I never last... My natural anxiety is increased now. I used to always live on edge I believe it is one of the biggest reasons I started drinking. Its very interesting the science behind the neurotransmitters and getting them back into balance. I really am interested in getting help. Like you say you don't want to simply exist as a recovered alcoholic who feels miserable.
Honest to God, I don't know if I should be more grateful or be more furious that this type of critical info is finally getting into the ears and hands of those who need it most. My fiance died at 46 in 2013 and I have been to treatment eighteen times in a handful of years. My chronic, severe alcoholism was worsened by anorexia and more strenuous exercise. I eventually resorted to drinking mouthwash, hairspray, hand sanitizer, perfumes and even rubbing alcohol. I hate the shame, blame, and criminal treatment that an ignorant, though sometimes well-meaning society places on "alcoholics" Thank you so much for your response and help and support to this tragic horror that is sweeping our country in ever increasing numbers. You are a true pioneer and are without question saving lives. God bless you 🙏😇🥰
Well said and thank you for the wise words. I’ve been on the battle of quitting alcohol ever since I’ve been 22 I am now 28 I am a father of a beautiful boy who’s about to be three next month and ever since he’s been in my world I’ve been a lot better about drinking now I am reaching a point where hes getting a lot bigger and needs a lot of my time and attention. I have been a week sober as of today and plan on going a year. Every time his birthday comes I get that feeling Of guilt, I could’ve been more compassion, could’ve woken up earlier to get things done so I could be more attentive, but from now on I’m am going to be real to myself and my son.
I relapsed again and the SAW hasnt let me sleep... ive lost weight and My head is killing me... its videos like these that Show me to work smarter. This man is saving lives. Thank you
I have a boy with autism (7 years) and a daughter with ADHD (20 y) and I drink every second day ( just in the evening 🤣) . I know if I continue this way , I will definitely damage myself more and more . Fûck ...I am broken 😭! Thx for the beautiful information and your amazing evolution.
Tried quitting drinking for 25 years, 3 rehabs, good ones but I always went back to drinking, somehow to deal with all my regrets! I started calisthenics And so far so good I do different exercises every day, it took years but calisthenics won out , ( I hope, so far) and I’d rather do burpees or jump rope than drink, drinking turned me into a pathetic mess, a lot of regret, but does anyone really care but me? We can do this, minute by minute, day by day, try calisthenics if u wanna put the bottle away!
@@ecinaz no my liver is fine I but went on benders ,I drank a lot when I did drink, and went being sober as long as I could , like 4 months at a time , give or take , but liver is totally fine
Just ordered bio rebalance , cbd oil , magnesium citrate and extra l - glutamine. I continue to fail because of the heart ❤️ racing and shaking .. anxiety ... I pray this helps .
Elizabeth. Please get his book Drinking Sucks. The more info you have the more you can understand what’s happening. He also has a course at fit-recovery.com
Please more videos like this! I’m in a rehabilitation facility as of now and this information needs to get out there to places like this. They look at me like I’m crazy when I ask for vitamins and good food but hand out caffeine, sugar, and ativan like candy! Doing my best to deal with this but the rehabilitation community needs new information!
RougeHero the rehab/pharmaceutical industry don't want their stocks to lose value... This is all about profit for them. Leave that place and fix your biochemistry and welcome back to life.
I don’t know why this ended up on my recommended list but it looked interesting. I don’t have a clue about this topic at all but I found the information fascinating. Hope there is more research into this approach for those that need recovery.
I'm going on day 3. I've had the worst withdrawal symptoms and anxiety these past 3 days. Chest pains, chills and sweats, nausea, couldn't sleep. I've had this before but not to this extent. I finally this morning was able to admit that I have a problem. I get so scared that I'm gonna have a heart attack and die. I have to stick with it this time, it's just not worth it to drink anymore.
Day 5 and I finally feel like myself again. I can eat a real meal and I've had at least half a gallon of water, some with electrolytes. I feel so much better. I'm finally gonna stick with this not drinking thing. Life is just so much better without it.
@@JeremyBarbell How you been after a month ? If you relapsed don't worry about it... sometimes relapsing is needed to realize how serious alcohol addiction truly is and why it is important to leave it in the past.
Update friend? Same boat as you. Went to er many times thinking I was going to get a heart attack but I was fine just high blood pressure from quitting alcohol, when you feel those panick attacks coming just go for a walk with a loved one and get your mind of it
@@saultorres7301 it’s been almost a year since I’ve been drunk. I have a beer or drink once every couple months if that. I no longer have cravings to drink, and I don’t want to ever be drunk again. I’ve been fully into fitness, and now I work at a kickboxing fitness gym. No panic attacks or anything. Life is so much better! I consider myself very lucky.
Well, in January, a trip to the emergency room with a serious heart arrhythmia was my wake up call. Turns out i was poisioning myself on many fronts. I was drinking 90 units per week, consuming huge amounts of sugar, sweeteners and caffine through fizzy drinks. Vaping 12mg @15ml nicotine per day. After a while the body says thats it. Although i was very strong i was also deeply unfit at the same time. Resting heart rate was above 110 a week or so prior to the arrhythmia incident. I could be sitting down and my heart would take off above 150 bpm for no aparent reason. Fast foreward to now, Caffine removed Vaping nicotine removed Sugar input through poor diet reduced 90% Artificial sweeteners avoided like the plague (Turns out the arrhythmia was Aspartame poisioning) Got back into running, 5k 16:44 I couldn't run 50 m back in January. Have i quit alcohol? NO Im have no addiction to it consume 20 units per week now. I thaught it was just the alcohol messing me up. Clearly, there's plenty of other things that are very bad, if not much worse for you than alcohol Resting heart rate typing this is currently 44 bpm.... MUCH BETTER! Regards Leo
@@xxxxjoan9559 not enough people want to put in the work. I'm a part of two sobriety Facebook groups and whenever I try to give this info out I get no response. But when someone tells them to eat 12 pints of ice cream to help with cravings they'll get tons of likes 🙄
First time I have seen this type of "holistic" approach and mentioning the gut connection too. Very well researched and informative. God bless you. I have lost too many friends and loved ones to this horrible disease. And make no mistake, it is a disease. Keep up the great work.
I know of a powerful man who can help you stop drinking alcohol without any stress or delay.He helped me.Text Dr William on WhatsApp (+1 956-531-2406). I must tell you that drinking isn't a good habit because alot of money is spent on it. Text William on WhatsApp (+19565312406) and testify.,.
I'm feeling like crap feel too scared to leave the house drinking half bottle whiskey a day down from a litre and was vomiting blood for the first time it's scared me to stop with no medication I was hearing friends voices loud it's really scary I want to start eating healthy and trying best to go cold turkey from today wish me luck
Very unique and interesting approach. I think any path or recovery plan that helps someone is good. As long as we are not hurting ourselves or anyone else there is no right or wrong way to recover!!
I'm glad I found you and your channel. I am glad to see that anyone can make a choice to stop drinking alcohol. I only drink beer and I am addicted to it to a point. I do want to stop and go back to the way I was before drinking. My question to you is: Is there one supplement that you recommend to get my biochemistry back to normal? I saw a lot of supplements but, what is the best Vitamin you recommend to restore my biochemistry. Thank you.
I would totally recommend the zero alcohol beer Heineken . It tastes the same as regular Heineken and it’s great to take to dinners or parties as you can fully participate and most people don’t even realise you are drinking zero alcohol. At the end of the evening you drive home. Particularly good after physical effort when you really want to chug a cold beer. The difference is that you can go back and keep working after a refreshing beer rather than sitting on the couch. And it has very low sugar and carbs, and it’s cheap. Give it a go.
Great program. Good info. I have been sober 29 years and it wasn’t until I started working on my diet and supplementing that I felt good most of the time. I am a little disappointed that this did not mention high dose niacin. It is one of the best things I have found for sleep, depression and anxiety.
Hi. Thank you for all the information and explanation. I am taking many of the items you presented daily. It's been five days now and I am starting to feel like getting up in the morning for once in a long while. Also, your video gave such excellent detail as to the benefits of each of the supplements. It seems that I am taking about 20 pills p/day. Haven't sought doc to help me figure out which ones I actually need and which I can forego. Planning on doing that on Friday of this week. I need referrals so I want to see a nutritionist and a dietician to help guide me. I've been a daily 16 oz vodka or rum drinker for about 35 years. Sometimes I would stop drinking for a week or two but always returned to alcohol because the side effects of not having alcohol were intense. Now, with your help, I feel terrific for the most part. Thank you again. Peace.
@@Cyko.. Day seven today and I've only really been bothered by insomnia. So, I ordered Melatonin with Chamomile & lavender to help me sleep last night and it worked quite well.
What's your favorite health podcasts? Too many to choose from. This was amazing and super informative and I hate science but I listened intently the whole time.. thank you!!!!!
Get prescribed Antabuse. For me I struggled with social drinking to binge drinking the problem would the triggers would happen at random times unexpectedly. So even if I was sober for a few weeks if just took one trigger to throw me off to a binge. When my doctor insurance covered me the Antabuse it will make u so severely ill that even if u took a sip of alchohol within 24 hours u will be throwing up and sick. So bc of Antabuse I have been sober I wake up clear headed take the pill and even if u was persuaded to drink the pill will physically reject it
Your perspective and first hand + honest and simple to understand informations are better than most others.Guess I will stick with you ! Thanks for all the effort !
This video is great! The best! I hope my alcoholic friend will watch this. I don't drink but i had a huge soda pop problem and finally quit it this year. But sometimes i have a glass or 2 liter, then I'm sorry because i get nasty symptoms. I will look for more nutrition and supplements to repair my brain and body AND abstain totally from soda pop.
Day 9 for me .. and with a health science, degree and years in the gym and many years with supplementation experimentation… Love this video, so good… I’ve only anybody in the Canadian medical system had any of this knowledge we might have some more sober people… I’m not a fan of Western medicine
It's all about money and I, and my parents who have past, wasted more than 150k on doctors and treatment centers. I'm done, just another guy getting wealthy over others desperation. 54 on a walker 10 years with no balance trying to get straight answers a mirror of America's politics. Was sober from alcohol many times over my life for 1 to 3 years. Hate my life but gifted to have it. I need a solution and just stopping drinking has not been the solution.

Listen -- know it sounds crazy == to A Song for Tom Petty great youngish band lots to say. It's not our turn.
You still helped your body by quitting for the time you did.
Im 11 months dry I dread if I relapse :-(
Remember easy does it, This to shall pass!!
Like all terrible habits - the "I'll start tomorrow" or "next week" or worse yet "next month" is the real danger. "start now" is the most powerful way to start. The reason we fail is because we put off goals. The reason we succeed is because we scratch the surface and take things on daily. Alcoholics don't give a second thought to cracking open a bottle - and this is the same power you must develop for being sober and engaging your real goals - not even a second thought, just doing them, and enjoying them - thus enjoying life.
Day one for me. I am finally ready, great video, I am tired of the habit... Tired of being over weight..... And tired of being TIRED!
how you doing you still sober ! ?
Me to. I am day 26 dry June. Hows your sobriety going?
🥳🥳🥳🥳
Good for you!!
Thanks Chris. I am 5 months no booze. Feel great. I listen to your podcast. I love it because you guys have a fresh perspective. Keep up the great work.
I’m working on day one 🤦🏾♂️😢
Day 5 for me. Had urges last night , so avoided shop.
@@demetriustrammel8230 How are you doing?
Financial stress plays such a MASSIVE role in over all stress. When I increased my income, it did more than diet, or being in a loving relationship with a woman combined.
This podcast is exactly what I needed to hear.
I'm 55, quit for years but started up after again after divorce in 2008.
Stupid!!! After covid hit, started banging 3 days a week....
This is inspiring... I'm done for good!
i know how you feel, also relapsed again. 3 -4 days a week....couldnt go to work because I felt so bad today. This substance is really not worth it. Let's quit again!
@@himawari4166 I'm with ya..
...until you start up again
@@Matt-fs1yy don't be a butthead lol
Love the line,..."I don't have time for alcohol". Thank you.
For anyone reading this and having trouble, the key for getting through is chamomile. It works similarly as alcohol and benzodiazepines on the GABA receptors and can help with Glutamate rebound. It’s a seesaw, GABA up - Glutamate down..... then the GABA goes down and your fucked when that glutamate rebounds upwards. This is what cause anxiety
Thank you!! I will try some chamomile tea 🍵
@@camisnyder3460 Me too!
Chamomile is the only think I can keep down when I’m sick as a dog . It’s a miracle tea.
Ok no joke, I've been having terrible withdrawal symptoms for the past 4 days. Worst ever. I tried chamomile tea last night because of this comment, and today I honestly feel 100 times better. I was actually able to eat food today and drink a lot of water, and actually walk around. Thank you so much.
@jdbarazza @Alexander Thank you for this. I'm currently tapering down ad 3 days away from day zero. So I'll start on the chamomile.
Thanks Chris I am going to be 3 months sober and this video was just amazing! Thank You God Bless
@Dunnit Again damn man I hope you get better how much you drink everyday I’m curious
@Dunnit Again hell yeah man I drink about 6 a day, and a couple times a week 10 or 12. But when I was 21 I spent 2-3 weeks about 23-24 beers a day that was hell I never get anxiety but when I was coming off of it it was bad almost passed out at work a couple times and I had a pain in my chest abnormal heartbeats high blood pressure etc insomnia, felt like I was having a heart attack a couple times. Woke up a few times covered in sweat I could feel my heart beating through my limbs I stopped for like a week then drank about 4-6 drinks per day malt liqour it’s a lot easier to manage no heart pains and I believe if you don’t have chest pains or pressure in your chest you’ll make it through by tapering, if you feel pressure in your chest constantly it’s prolly cut back time xD
I went on a 9 day binge. Alcohol is crazy addictive I always feel bad when I'm back at work and thinking why I did that.
I always feel soon alone in my head the next day at work. Thanks for your comment.
Cuz u have issues bro
I never wondered why I did that
I wondered whens the next one
Complete loser
Stay strong
Fuck that shit
@@jasoncarby4780 Not that practical.....
@@deepcreep98 Imagine feeling like that DAILY for many years and getting used to always having hangover symptoms... a biochemical hell.
WOW Chris!!!!! I am really proud of you for loading this very informative, evidence-based presentation at the forefront of addiction recovery using a holistic approach. Makes soooo much sense!!!!
I have a Cambridge degree ended up homeless. WTF also needed 3 mos rehab my ex always best friend. Tx for this story. I only like AA because of anonymity which allows people to be themselves. Whatever works
How are you doing now? I hope good and you are well.
Wow! Ive been coming off opiates and watching videos everyday and trying everything to feel better. This might be the most helpful, most informative video Ive seen.
Great video! When I decided to stop consuming alcohol I drank probiotic turmeric shots everyday. I did not realize serotonin comes from the gut! I also took kava kava, fatty acids, milk thistle, & celery juice in the morning. It’s amazing when we start to treat our bodies right how they will start to react positively. 🙏
This is all making complete sense now, I’m definitely starting to feed my body & brain properly as of today ❤
Very True...You Do Not Need Drugs or Alcohol to See Life in Full Color. Being Healthy and Optimal is The Way To Be.
Thank you Chris; quite possibly the best video on alcohol recovery I’ve watched (and I watch far too many).
I’ve always been interested in optimising physiology through supplementation and was familiar with many you’ve discussed here, particularly L-glutamine, but having it laid out in such a clear and concise manner and explained so in depth has given me great hope that supplementation can aid this horrific, progressive disease and may help me beat the chemically induced cravings with the help of AA and social support. Thanks again.
Hope In 12 months I could reach out to you sober and offer my assistance in realising your goals for Fit Recovery
George
WOW!!! BEST VIDEOS ON QUITING DRINKING!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Awesome presentation! Especially from someone who was actually addicted to alcohol, overweight and addicted to processed food and used amino acid therapy and nutrients as well as the other modalities to recover. Oftentimes the expert does not have a personal experience. 💜
Safiar what is amino acid therapy?
@@lindalamb7512 he talks about it in this video and others. It's using certain amino acids to nourish brain and cut cravings for caffeine, alcohol, processed sugars/ foods. Look up Julia Ross The Craving Cure
@@SafiarTaliaferro thank you! Some of what he said went over me. So much info- so I’ll replay!
Chris . I'm so grateful to have found your site in your videos it's a reflection of myself how I feel you're speaking about. Kind of like a mirror. Thank you Chris
Sober day 475 days I changed my life! Just completed my bachelors degree! And since that day I’m in the greatest shape of my life! I went from around 245 to 214 and am in the best shape of my life it’s amazing
This is so well put together - I love the science ....I’m going to try nutrition recovery
I stopped on 02/28/2018 @ age 44, because I felt like it. I do not miss it.
It's great that he discusses very key points here that take the victim and the accused out of the alcoholism. I come from a family of attics, and alcoholics and I too am an alcoholic. The ideal it's not completely our fault and that the idea that we are making choices and behaviors but can't help it, really underscores the complexity of alcoholism.
My god. I have been struggling with alcohol addiction for 3 years. May-July 2020 i was sober with 2 relapses in aug-sept. My last drink was 3 days ago I bought 1/3 of the supplements listed today having withdrawals all day. Within 3 hours of taking them my brain feels great, no cravings, clarity even. This is some powerful information people with Ph.D's (phat head disease's) won't hop on board with for another decade ATLEAST.
Which supplements please?
@@chloepardo dont buy the stupid products thats the whole purpose of this guys videos to sell u shit that does nothing to help you quit drinking
@@jculleno You're wrong, I bought my husband 3 supplements to see if it would stop his beer drinking on weekends. That was Nov of 2020 and he hasn't wanted any since. He never knew what happened.
Take a shot sweetie.
I really appreciate the in-depth presentation here. I think staying abstinent is the only way to feel better.
I've been AF for 7 years, and lately - for some reason - I've slacked off the nutrients. I'm so glad I found this video, because I'm half Scandinavian and haven't been getting quite enough Omega-3's. I've been craving alcohol for the last couple of weeks due to some triggers, although i haven't broken down and done it. Trying hard to stay sober, and this information is great!! I was really into the nutrients when I first got sober. The time is now appropriate for supplementation again (aside from Elderberry and Medicinal Mushrooms, which at least I have been taking. Thanks for the video!!
Suppliments are definitely something that should be encouraged to be used when stopping drinking. Anything to give you an edge and a feeling of well-being will give you an advantage.
Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Patlarny Abstinent Life Principle (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for getting rid of a drinking problem minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin at last got excellent success with it.
Your honesty, wisdom and genuine sense of care may very well change my life. Thank you!
Today is my first week of being sober I feel terrible can't sleep at night only get about three hours of sleep I feel like I'm tweaking on drugs I'm getting anxiety I'm more quiet I'm not talking as much as use too I lost my goofiness like when I'm drunk make everybody laugh I feel like crap i feel like shit!!!
don't give up it is getting better literally every day
@Nathan Swain its hard hope you are doing good!❤🙏
@@thomasboehm7977 thanks❤🙏
I hope the worst id over.
I added Kava Kava to my evening routine and had great results.
Your information has saved my life been taking the supplement that you posted. It like a curtain has opened up thank you very much I recommend you to anybody
Which supplement?
@@Laydene74 He has a few videos on supplements that can help those in recovery. It's a great video. I just watched it last night.
Excellent Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Saankramer Life Card System (google it)? It is a good exclusive product for learning how to stop drinking without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend finally got excellent success with it.
The sugar/alcohol intersection is so true!
oMG I'm SOOOOO glad I found this! I knew my brain , gut etc was related to my drinking cycle. I wish there was just one tablet to take
To be honest... It DOESN'T work that way. You have to have something bigger to reach for ( goals... health)... just do something different and take it one day at a time. Peace
@ Stella try, Happy Calm Focus (HFC). Google the company
I've struggled with depression and anxiety for 15 years. I never touched drink before 20. It took quite a few years but I'm now 30 and the past 3 years I've ended up as a daily drinker. I have had 2 alcohol free days recently but I never last... My natural anxiety is increased now. I used to always live on edge I believe it is one of the biggest reasons I started drinking. Its very interesting the science behind the neurotransmitters and getting them back into balance. I really am interested in getting help. Like you say you don't want to simply exist as a recovered alcoholic who feels miserable.
Try his course. It’s cheaper than a months worth of alcohol. Good luck
Its all on you brother
Find wtv it is that distracts u
Go for walks
Do house work
And tell yourself your better then this garbage
This is honestly the best thing I have ever seen.... Thank you so much!
I have never been able to explain to normal people
I’m on day 16. CBD is very helpful to me. Ordering supplements now
Honest to God, I don't know if I should be more grateful or be more furious that this type of critical info is finally getting into the ears and hands of those who need it most. My fiance died at 46 in 2013 and I have been to treatment eighteen times in a handful of years. My chronic, severe alcoholism was worsened by anorexia and more strenuous exercise. I eventually resorted to drinking mouthwash, hairspray, hand sanitizer, perfumes and even rubbing alcohol. I hate the shame, blame, and criminal treatment that an ignorant, though sometimes well-meaning society places on "alcoholics" Thank you so much for your response and help and support to this tragic horror that is sweeping our country in ever increasing numbers. You are a true pioneer and are without question saving lives. God bless you 🙏😇🥰
Try his course. Money well spent
Well said and thank you for the wise words. I’ve been on the battle of quitting alcohol ever since I’ve been 22 I am now 28 I am a father of a beautiful boy who’s about to be three next month and ever since he’s been in my world I’ve been a lot better about drinking now I am reaching a point where hes getting a lot bigger and needs a lot of my time and attention. I have been a week sober as of today and plan on going a year. Every time his birthday comes I get that feeling Of guilt, I could’ve been more compassion, could’ve woken up earlier to get things done so I could be more attentive, but from now on I’m am going to be real to myself and my son.
I relapsed again and the SAW hasnt let me sleep... ive lost weight and My head is killing me... its videos like these that Show me to work smarter.
This man is saving lives. Thank you
What a FANTASTIC video! The supplements section EXCELLENT! Thank you!!!
I have a boy with autism (7 years) and a daughter with ADHD (20 y) and I drink every second day ( just in the evening 🤣) . I know if I continue this way , I will definitely damage myself more and more . Fûck ...I am broken 😭! Thx for the beautiful information and your amazing evolution.
Think of them everytime you pick up a drink, think of how there's a chance you might ruin their youth from your selfishness. It is hard
@@unsainted2240 Thx for your encouraging words. I try ... it’s hard !
Tried quitting drinking for 25 years, 3 rehabs, good ones but I always went back to drinking, somehow to deal with all my regrets! I started calisthenics
And so far so good I do different exercises every day, it took years but calisthenics won out , ( I hope, so far) and I’d rather do burpees or jump rope than drink, drinking turned me into a pathetic mess, a lot of regret, but does anyone really care but me? We can do this, minute by minute, day by day, try calisthenics if u wanna put the bottle away!
You actually have a good attitude. Do it
For yourself and then others will
Like being with you
Congrats man
Never look back
Your in your best shape ever
Keep going !!!!
Do you have liver damage after 25 yrs of drinking?
@@ecinaz no my liver is fine
I but went on benders ,I drank a lot when I did drink, and went being sober as long as I could , like 4 months at a time , give or take , but liver is totally fine
@fleadoggreen9062 glad you're sober. How do you know you don't have liver disease? A LOT of people have asymptomatic fibrosis/cirrhosis.
I’ve watched so many of these videos and this is the best one I’ve ever seen. Comprehensive and excellent.
Holy shit thank you. I did the vitamin stuff and it worked! Then I lost focus. I can't wait to hear this. Again. In the morning
Just ordered bio rebalance , cbd oil , magnesium citrate and extra l - glutamine. I continue to fail because of the heart ❤️ racing and shaking .. anxiety ... I pray this helps .

Great. Was it expensive? How much did u spend did it help?
Hope you are doing ok Elizabeth

Thank you, Chris! Always informative; always a pleasure!! 💜
Please more videos like this! I’m in a rehabilitation facility as of now and this information needs to get out there to places like this. They look at me like I’m crazy when I ask for vitamins and good food but hand out caffeine, sugar, and ativan like candy! Doing my best to deal with this but the rehabilitation community needs new information!
Good luck. Get Chris Scott’s course when you get out. It’s great for hitting the four pillars of sobriety or as he says alcohol free

I don’t know why this ended up on my recommended list but it looked interesting.
I don’t have a clue about this topic at all but I found the information fascinating. Hope there is more research into this approach for those that need recovery.
ps swimming saved my life plus my dog
That's right brother. Mind body and sprit. Gym is very important in recovery. I put God frist. Then self care gym. Then my famliy
I'm going on day 3. I've had the worst withdrawal symptoms and anxiety these past 3 days. Chest pains, chills and sweats, nausea, couldn't sleep. I've had this before but not to this extent. I finally this morning was able to admit that I have a problem. I get so scared that I'm gonna have a heart attack and die. I have to stick with it this time, it's just not worth it to drink anymore.
Day 5 and I finally feel like myself again. I can eat a real meal and I've had at least half a gallon of water, some with electrolytes. I feel so much better. I'm finally gonna stick with this not drinking thing. Life is just so much better without it.
So glad to hear. Keep going!
@@JeremyBarbell How you been after a month ? If you relapsed don't worry about it... sometimes relapsing is needed to realize how serious alcohol addiction truly is and why it is important to leave it in the past.
Update friend? Same boat as you. Went to er many times thinking I was going to get a heart attack but I was fine just high blood pressure from quitting alcohol, when you feel those panick attacks coming just go for a walk with a loved one and get your mind of it
@@saultorres7301 it’s been almost a year since I’ve been drunk. I have a beer or drink once every couple months if that. I no longer have cravings to drink, and I don’t want to ever be drunk again. I’ve been fully into fitness, and now I work at a kickboxing fitness gym. No panic attacks or anything. Life is so much better! I consider myself very lucky.
This is so helpful and informative. It really resonates. Thank you!
Well, in January, a trip to the emergency room with a serious heart arrhythmia was my wake up call. Turns out i was poisioning myself on many fronts. I was drinking 90 units per week, consuming huge amounts of sugar, sweeteners and caffine through fizzy drinks. Vaping 12mg @15ml nicotine per day. After a while the body says thats it. Although i was very strong i was also deeply unfit at the same time. Resting heart rate was above 110 a week or so prior to the arrhythmia incident. I could be sitting down and my heart would take off above 150 bpm for no aparent reason. Fast foreward to now,
Caffine removed
Vaping nicotine removed
Sugar input through poor diet reduced 90%
Artificial sweeteners avoided like the plague (Turns out the arrhythmia was Aspartame poisioning)
Got back into running, 5k 16:44
I couldn't run 50 m back in January.
Have i quit alcohol? NO
Im have no addiction to it consume 20 units per week now.
I thaught it was just the alcohol messing me up. Clearly, there's plenty of other things that are very bad, if not much worse for you than alcohol
Resting heart rate typing this is currently 44 bpm.... MUCH BETTER!

Outstanding Video Chris! Thank you for all you do, and for the lives you're changing.

This is great information and very helpful because I’m tired of feeling like crap
I'm feeling like crap feel too scared to leave the house drinking half bottle whiskey a day down from a litre and was vomiting blood for the first time it's scared me to stop with no medication I was hearing friends voices loud it's really scary I want to start eating healthy and trying best to go cold turkey from today wish me luck
Very unique and interesting approach. I think any path or recovery plan that helps someone is good. As long as we are not hurting ourselves or anyone else there is no right or wrong way to recover!!
Love your videos bro! 🤙
Merry Christmas Chris Scott 2020.
Good stuff 👍 Could you also upload your podcasts here on the UA-cam channel?
I'm glad I found you and your channel. I am glad to see that anyone can make a choice to stop drinking alcohol. I only drink beer and I am addicted to it to a point. I do want to stop and go back to the way I was before drinking. My question to you is: Is there one supplement that you recommend to get my biochemistry back to normal? I saw a lot of supplements but, what is the best Vitamin you recommend to restore my biochemistry. Thank you.
His supplement is biorebalance which you take for a month while detoxing. It contains everything. It’s on amazon
@@xxxxjoan9559 Thank you so much for the info. I really need to stop drinking beer. I appreciate you. Ty.

I would totally recommend the zero alcohol beer Heineken . It tastes the same as regular Heineken and it’s great to take to dinners or parties as you can fully participate and most people don’t even realise you are drinking zero alcohol. At the end of the evening you drive home. Particularly good after physical effort when you really want to chug a cold beer. The difference is that you can go back and keep working after a refreshing beer rather than sitting on the couch.
And it has very low sugar and carbs, and it’s cheap.
Give it a go.
What a great video. You are a good man, Chris. Beams right out of the video. Thanks so much.
Great program. Good info. I have been sober 29 years and it wasn’t until I started working on my diet and supplementing that I felt good most of the time. I am a little disappointed that this did not mention high dose niacin. It is one of the best things I have found for sleep, depression and anxiety.
Hi Paul! I admire your courage and determination. Do you mind sharing the best foods and supplements you feel have work best for you? Thank you
Please do mention the supplement 🤔
Hi. Thank you for all the information and explanation. I am taking many of the items you presented daily. It's been five days now and I am starting to feel like getting up in the morning for once in a long while. Also, your video gave such excellent detail as to the benefits of each of the supplements. It seems that I am taking about 20 pills p/day. Haven't sought doc to help me figure out which ones I actually need and which I can forego. Planning on doing that on Friday of this week. I need referrals so I want to see a nutritionist and a dietician to help guide me. I've been a daily 16 oz vodka or rum drinker for about 35 years. Sometimes I would stop drinking for a week or two but always returned to alcohol because the side effects of not having alcohol were intense. Now, with your help, I feel terrific for the most part. Thank you again. Peace.
What side effects did you experience?
@@Cyko.. Day seven today and I've only really been bothered by insomnia. So, I ordered Melatonin with Chamomile & lavender to help me sleep last night and it worked quite well.

Get prescribed Antabuse. For me I struggled with social drinking to binge drinking the problem would the triggers would happen at random times unexpectedly. So even if I was sober for a few weeks if just took one trigger to throw me off to a binge. When my doctor insurance covered me the Antabuse it will make u so severely ill that even if u took a sip of alchohol within 24 hours u will be throwing up and sick. So bc of Antabuse I have been sober I wake up clear headed take the pill and even if u was persuaded to drink the pill will physically reject it
Great video - will you be posting the remaing videos for the rest of the hierarchy? Please do 👍

4mins in n I'm hooked
Alcohol especially vodka makes you fat like HUGE i know it's a vain response but that's the reason that made me seek recovery
Hey, whatever helps you to stop drinking is a good enough reason 👍
This video is great! The best! I hope my alcoholic friend will watch this. I don't drink but i had a huge soda pop problem and finally quit it this year. But sometimes i have a glass or 2 liter, then I'm sorry because i get nasty symptoms. I will look for more nutrition and supplements to repair my brain and body AND abstain totally from soda pop.
Day 9 for me .. and with a health science, degree and years in the gym and many years with supplementation experimentation… Love this video, so good… I’ve only anybody in the Canadian medical system had any of this knowledge we might have some more sober people… I’m not a fan of Western medicine
This is brilliantly useful.
It's all about money and I, and my parents who have past, wasted more than 150k on doctors and treatment centers. I'm done, just another guy getting wealthy over others desperation. 54 on a walker 10 years with no balance trying to get straight answers a mirror of America's politics. Was sober from alcohol many times over my life for 1 to 3 years. Hate my life but gifted to have it. I need a solution and just stopping drinking has not been the solution.
Try reading his book. He really has a different approach and the book is cheap.
Excellent presentation. Gave me a new way to look at the problem
