I worked in the brewing industry for 10 years. Free, unlimited beer at my fingertips 24/7. Just passed 200 days sober, most of that while still having worked in that industry before I quit. I can't imagine going back to drinking. Amazing how small, incremental changes add up. Keep preaching the good word, Tim. Much love.
I used to drink often and I hated myself for it because I would go until I blackout and that’s when bad things would happen. One morning when I woke up I got a call from a friend saying I was acting like a complete asshole and I made a fool of myself the night before and that’s when I realized I have a problem and have to stop. I’ve been sober for over a year now and don’t really care about it anymore, by the grace of god I just don’t crave it anymore. For anyone out there that is struggling keep the fight up it gets easier.
It's called spirits for a reason. It allows entities to take you over. The "blackout" are literally possession which is why no one has any memory of them. There's a reason many religions forbid alcohol. It's also why it's so promoted by elites to the masses.
tim i feel like this has been my exact journey. at 30 i told everyone i was done drinking and went 6 months before i relapsed. ive then spent the last 4 years back and forth on alcohol. last year i tracked over 365 days of my alcohol intake having spent 71% of that time without drinking but then i blacked out on christmas eve and missed christmas morning and my family party that night because i was miserably hungover. idk what it is, but this time it feels different. i genuinely feel done with alcohol. havent drank in 10 days and counting.
I love your take on sobriety. People with addictions shouldn’t be beating themselves up for every relapse. Instead, every relapse can be a learning experience, an understanding that there’s another trigger which needs to be reprogrammed.
Two things you've said in past videos that stuck with me because I've never heard this said anywhere else: 1) Alcohol problems generally get worse over time. 2) If you start drinking again, you're going to want to quit again. These two sentences were the nail in the coffin for my drinking (last drink Dec '22). You are truly special, Tim. Don't ever stop sharing your pearls of wisdom!
Cold Turkey can actually kill a long term alcoholic. I suspect some jail deaths are due to this factor. Some people need to wean off (if they do not want drug treatment, like me). I quit after 40 years heavy drinking, daily, all day long. I had heart palpitations and other very weird issues for about a year. Almost 8 years sober.
I had to quit for health reasons, alcohol started making my blood pressure rise so badly and was giving me heart palpitations all that shit. And I had to stop, been 4 months now and I seem to be getting healthier. I definitely still fight the urges to want to drink on weekends especially, but I’m hanging in there ✊🏼 can’t go back
I said it before and I will say it again - if you write a book on sobriety I will be sure to buy a copy!! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge on sobriety. It’s the truth!
Instead of the word willpower, discipline is a better word to use. I am still on my weight loss journey and have to use discipline everyday to tell myself no when I want to eat something I know I shouldn't. Just like you said, it takes practice to have discipline and to break the cycle of addiction. Great video Tim! Take care💕
there's gunna be a new sober wave that sweeps thru soon, whoever is sober now is gunna be at the forefront of this new lifestyle, it's gunna become popular everywhere... there's gunna be books, podcasts, shows, etc... just watch
Today is January 4th and i have two dry days and two low consumption days accomplished. I am trying *again* to stop drinking or drink less. So far I have signed up for an SQL class, I've started to work out and I have been editing videos in the hopes of starting to post again. The goal is to find something to occupy my time instead of drinking. Like you said, I am hoping i have practiced quitting enough already that hopefully i figure it out this time lol. Thanks for this video. It helps.
Tim, Thank You for speaking about your journey of Sobriety. I felt as if you were speaking directly about my life. I am in process of selling my house, i cannot afford anymore, lost my soulmate 1-1-23, have been in deep depression, when i have no alcohol, i cant even get out of bed, so listening to you tonight, has motivated me at 59, 60 in July, to get my butt up, put my furbabies in my car, pack my essentials, and go. I have no friends here, i always worked to take care if family, and then i drank until bed. The struggle is Real. Peace, Love, 😺😺😺
Good luck on your journey Catherine. I’m sorry to hear about your loss and the ensuing depression. I hope the strides you are taking will help you to overcome the depression. And it sounds like you are ready to start living for yourself now. It’s a wide open world out there, go have some fun!
This is powerful information, Tim, and can be applied to anything in life we’re trying to quit. Thanks for this. And I loved hearing the ocean in the background. I’ve never seen the beach that empty. Love it!
It’s tough not to be hard on yourself….i stopped drinking December’22 but had 1 relapse in July on holiday in Montana of all places….had fun but knew the next morning….im completely done!
6 months strong. World if difference & more coming. Easy? Nope. Worth it? Yes. Annie grace podcasts. Good food. Busy busy. Do something, anything but drink. Tons of resources out there. Thank you for your content! Great subject
HI TIM I AM SO GLAD YOU MADE ANOTHER SOBRIETY VIDEO FIRST THINGS FIRST HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊🎈 2024 I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN SOBER FOR 3 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS AS OF JANUARY 2024 I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS LATELY AND TIM THEY HAVE INSPIRED ME I AM DOING VERY GOOD I HOPE YOU ARE DOING THE SAME AND MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR UA-cam FOLLOWERS HAVE A WONDERFUL 2024 LOVE YOU MY BROTHER STAY SAFE OUT THERE 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
Hey Timothy, a big fan from Germany here 👋😄 I am seldom commenting under videos. I am following your channel since a few months now and just felt the urge to let you know, you are awesome, man! I, too, live in a vehicle and I am so happy to have made the decision to move in 1.5y ago. Best thing in life I ever did so far! I am struggling to quit w33d at the moment (smoked nearly every day for 15 years now) and your approach for getting sober helped me a lot to adjust my mind a little. It's so hard to quit cold turkey. Well I just wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Sometimes when I feel a little sad, a little lonely, or when I feel like I may need an advice, I am turning to your channel. Your voice tone and your sharp mind are always uplifting my mood immediately! It always feels like listening to a close friend. Thank you, be blessed and keep up the good work ❤️👍
Hello! Thanks for taking a moment and commenting! It’s always nice to hear from friends around the world. I’m glad my videos have been helpful to you, and thanks for remind me that I need to do more sobriety content lol. Stay blessed!
Only things that makes me drink is having to go to work somewhere indont want to be around people i dont want to be around... drink to fit in or to cope...forced conversation
Tim you got me in tears not just in what you said, but realizing the beauty of watching you excel at motivating people when that is one of your dreams.
Everyone drinks ! So blaming people for becoming addicted (mostly psychologically due to trauma ) is unfair and victim blaming. I do agree with your anti AA sentiment that it’s not a life long struggle . Alcohol misuse is not your identity and it’s not some arduous, insurmountable task to stop !! AA preaches powerlessness and alcohol is “ cunning , baffling and powerful ( how the hell are the members who hear that in EVERY meeting , able to go to grocery stores, social gatherings etc and not give into their lol “ powerlessness ?” That’s why AA/ NA has such an abysmal success rate and most members are not happy. It’s a cult , and a mind killing one at that
@@AG-xt6ei ok , but most people have been exposed to booze . It’s so much an in integral part of our society and culture. Over 90% do not become dependent on it . addiction stems from fear, and trauma or mental illness
I have a shopping addiction. This year I decided is my no buy year. I don't care if I slip once in a while, I can forgive myself and try again. It is worth trying again and again
Hi Tim I have been about 15 years sober but in sept I decided to let go and drink with my beloved for his 50 bday we had some beers down in key west …..I’m glad I did cause I had fun and it was his last bday because he just passed in may of this year . As I think about it now I have decided that I won’t do it again and that was like a last goodbye to that old life cause now that he had passed I have to remain strong and cautious …..
Almost 7 months in.Countless day 1s. Stick with it. It gets easier each time you try. Its much better on this side, guys. Trust me. My energy is through the roof and its the best thing I've ever done. Beware the early sugar cravings tho. You will find yourself downing cookies those first few weeks :)
While listening to this great video, I replaced the word alchohol with cigarrettes. It has been a monkey on my back for a long long time. Thank you Tim for your insight on this.
Hey Tim, so far i watched 2 of your videos.. the one about not wanting to have kids(lol same here) and this one. I really liked how you said the time will come as you continue to sometimes not do what you are addicted to(not necessarily always). Also , i liked so much how you said that you didn't do anything different and one day you realized that ok i guess i did quit )) . Recently i quit smoking weed for the second time in my life(first one was few years ago for 4 months and then i started because of a woman lol that i haven't seen for a long time lol and we smoked and kept smoking LOL) and now this time it's been 3.5 months now. Not saying weed is that bad, but i figured that i need to... I also drink maybe should start working on that one too .. i only drink on the weekends though.. Anyway.. i almost never put comments on youtube, but i just did ;) . Tanks for good videos i agree with you on everything i watched so far )) . Have a good one everybody
Hey Tim, it's good to see a sobriety upload from you. I've posted it a few places as it's so helpful for people especially in their early sobriety days. I really do believe that when/if it's the right time for you, it will happen. You can't do it for someone else, it needs to come from within. When it's meant for you, it will become easy, once you get in the habit of staying sober.
Thanks Tim. I always used to beat myself up a lot when I’d end up drinking again and feel like a failure but I started looking at it more like this and it’s seemed to help a lot more
Could you elaborate about when times get tough and it gets harder again? I love this, it makes so so much sense! I'm using it for other (bad) habits, too, to keep the faith.
You have help me with anxiety and help me cut back on drinking. I unfortunately still have days that I have some bourbon until I pass out. Then Im sick the next day. I've lost jobs over alcohol and relationships. I got to get 100% so her not 75% sober life
I warn sbout quitting Cold Turkey if you've drunk heavily for a long time. Your heart could stop. This is the only withdrawal that one could actually die from. I suspect some jail deaths are for this reason.
Great message pastor Tim. Whether gin or sin, the principles are the same. God gives us the strength, but we must choose to use that power to put in the work; which includes being intentional about persons, places, and things that occupy our time: the bottle or the bible, pornhub or biblehub, depression or gratitude. "Let us be growing Christians. We are not to stand still. We are to be in advance today of what we were yesterday; every day learning to be more trustful, more fully relying upon Jesus. Thus we are to grow up. You DO NOT at ONE BOUND reach perfection; sanctification is THE WORK of a LIFETIME."
Thank you mr Ward,its a important topic. Ive never had a drinking problem,i like beers but never had a problem, i smoked weed everyday for 15 years and havent smoked for a month now. The funny thing is all the "friends" who calls and want you to be hooked with them but when i ask them to come and hit the gym they get mad. Just trying to get them to see it from another perspective not trying to be perfect but as you say you have to want it yourself like everything in life,my biggest problem is that i have no goals in my life i feel this modern world is fake. Happy new years!
Tim, have you read the book Rational Recovery by Jack Trimpey. Your methods are very similar to what i followed to get and stay sober for over 5 years myself. If not check it out, you'll enjoy it. Love all your videos. Youre one of my favorites on UA-cam. Many blessings on your journey!!!
Wait until you get into 30s and everyone you knows becomes married with kids and full time jobs. You’ll no longer have people to drink with. Sunday Funday turns into going to Home Depot.
I drink when I'm doing a very boring task. I get severely depressed when I do something boring. I hate this childish side of me. Please please give me some advice. I want to to replace alcohol with something that won't cause extreme depression when I assign myself to boring chores. I have been on Zoloft for 5 months and it's working in every capacity - except when I'm confronted with a very boring chore or situation
I think staying sober is very hard but I don’t think we are powerless and have to leave it in the hands of fate. Everyone I know who is sober put in the work, sometimes over years and years, to get to that point. To say it’s fate is kind of a slap in the face of all those people.
No offense but you're not a licensed clinical therapist so you don't know the psychological reasons why people start drinking in the first place. So just use that as a disclaimer in your "sobriety" videos from now on and let people know that that's what worked for you.
I’m a sex and love addict and all your advice helps so much, I’ve been going to meetings and I have a sponsor. But even in my darkest spots in recovery your videos kept me above water it means so much to me. And I hope you know that I would wear all the WARD UNIVERSITY hoodies you make
Day 38. I'm so freaking proud of myself.
You go, Girl!
Well done!
Proud of you keep going 🔥🙏🏾
3 days sober! Ive had enough.. alcohol has taken enough of a toll on me mentally and financially. Im ready for this new lifestyle
3 days for me too! I feel the same way about it! Let’s keep it going, we got this! 🙏🏽
@dhmtube4454 yes!! We owe it to ourselves!
3 days? Make it to 300 then your on your way.

Thank you for the positive feedback. I definitely plan on making it a priority to post more sobriety content this year.

Day 74 here. And you are absolutely correct, it took a lot of starting and stopping to get to this point. Appreciate your content always!
Day 80 for me, Christmas was quite easy, much easier then I thought, just had alcohol free beer and wine.
I don't know how anybody can even afford the stuff Blessings to all
It's truly a drain financially
Thanks for the new sobriety content, Tim! It’s never too late to feel great 👍
The hangovers are just not serving us! They knock me out for the whole day
I don’t want to feel that way anymore
2024 I need to make changes

Great point that everyone who quit “cold turkey “ probably tried many times before and failed. The cold turkey was just the one time it finally took.
Cold Turkey can actually kill a long term alcoholic. I suspect some jail deaths are due to this factor.
Some people need to wean off (if they do not want drug treatment, like me).
I quit after 40 years heavy drinking, daily, all day long. I had heart palpitations and other very weird issues for about a year.
Almost 8 years sober.
3/25/93 is my Sobriety date by the Grace of God and Humility on my part. Yes I changed my Thinking, I came to believe.
Thank you so much Pamela! And congrats on 30+ years of sober living!
my date is june 30 1990
Thank you so much for this message! So much. "Every relapse is not starting over....it's growing". Thank you.
Put up a calendar. Put a big "X" on every alcohol free day. You will be amazed at how the days add up, over time....
X is a fail. Put up a ✔️ for every successful alcohol free day.
I had to quit for health reasons, alcohol started making my blood pressure rise so badly and was giving me heart palpitations all that shit.

passionate about it but not crying haha 😆
I drink when I'm doing a very boring task. I get severely depressed when I do something boring. I hate this childish side of me. Please please give me some advice. I want to to replace alcohol with something that won't cause extreme depression when I assign myself to boring chores. I have been on Zoloft for 5 months and it's working in every capacity - except when I'm confronted with a very boring chore or situation
Tramadol seems harder to quit totally.
Quitting is easy. Staying quit is in the hands of fate
I think staying sober is very hard but I don’t think we are powerless and have to leave it in the hands of fate. Everyone I know who is sober put in the work, sometimes over years and years, to get to that point. To say it’s fate is kind of a slap in the face of all those people.
nice beach where is it ?
Alcohol. The only drug people feel guilty stopping. Think about that.

This is me when it comes to marijuana😪

Congrats 🎉🎈🎊

No offense but you're not a licensed clinical therapist so you don't know the psychological reasons why people start drinking in the first place. So just use that as a disclaimer in your "sobriety" videos from now on and let people know that that's what worked for you.
GREAT VIDEO! 2YRS FOR ME YESTERDAY, & YOUR VIDEOS HELPED ME IMMENSELY! 🫶🏾
U were that friend I needed when I had no one.
I’m a sex and love addict and all your advice helps so much, I’ve been going to meetings and I have a sponsor. But even in my darkest spots in recovery your videos kept me above water it means so much to me. And I hope you know that I would wear all the WARD UNIVERSITY hoodies you make
