Nice Video! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Saankramer Life Card System (google it)? It is a good one off product for learning how to stop drinking minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy got astronomical results with it.
1 month, getting better but still having craving. Update: wow, i wrote this 2 years ago??? I quit 2 years ago. ?? At 1 time i didnt think i could make it 1 week. This is awesome!!!
Five months and counting, after not going a week without a drink since I was 18, I’m 44 now. Whenever I’m out or having a barbie I stick to water or non alcoholic beer.
I just hit my 50 day mark no Booz and it feels AMAZING! I am building out my 1988 Chevy to travel and work in film and TV and I am so ready to embrace life fully, cheers!
Lost so many friends. Moody and snappy and my character was not a nice person to know. Suddenly something happened and I found sobriety. My life changed and it’s so much better. It’s not about how long I’ve gone without a drink. It’s about finding your real self and catching up on the time you’ve lost for me. One day at at a time. Stay safe everyone.
Some awesome points - i stopped drinking a few months ago and have never looked back - your comments about the self hatred and hiding things from people i can really relate to . Drinking was like my sad little secret.
Day 1. Started watching your videos yesterday. I've tried many times over the past couple years to quit but find every excuse not too. I'm 39 and have consumed alcohol most of my adult life. I'd say it was never really a problem till a couple years ago. I use my job as an excuse. Come home from work have a few drinks to unwind and then pretty much spend the weekend drinking and being unproductive. Most parts of my life are pretty good. Have a wonderful wife and son on the way. I go to the gym regularly, but I feel alcohol is the one thing holding me back from being in great shape and just all around more productive.
I’ve just turned 26 years old and have come across your videos. I’ve realised my drinking destroys my relationships, friendships and my mental health, and now I’m going on the journey to bettering my life. Thank you :)
Coffee, Sugar and Nicotine on the weekdays to keep you awake at a shitty job, destressed and less anxious. Alcohol on the weekends to make you numb, docile, distracted and dumb.
I’ve never really drank a lot but I occasionally dip in and out and whoever I do I feel horrific the next day. Will quit I think as I can’t really be bothered anymore
Day 243 for me today. I echo your thoughts dude. Sounds cliche but I am a much improved version of myself which is really great as I spend a lot of time with me!
I'm so happy I found your channel. I thought the only way I could stop drinking was AA. After looking into it I really didn't want to join the groups. So I thought there was no other way. But now I know I have a choice. I can make decisions for myself. And thats OK. And I can still succeed today. I can't see tomorrow. But today I have succeeded.
Today is day 10 for me. Im going out in evenings with family instead of staying alone ,hiding my alcoholism. I have apologized to most of them. Saving my dad for last. I just want to make sure I'm 💯 I feel I am now but , you know how that can be. My only issue is sleeping. Insomnia. Hope it passes soon. 🙏 great info. Inspiring!
I;m happy for you. It's been 20 years for me. Gave up drinking, smoking and caffeine all in the same day. Funny thing is...I hadn't really given it much of a serious thought until that very day. Go figure.
@@murraymarshawn2175 Actually, I had no idea about video or audio when I started my sobriety journey. If you check out my latest video, you'll get a better idea of how it all happened.
Thank you so much for this ! It's so well explained. I decided 2 monts ago that I never wanted to be drunk again. That if I was going to drink, it would be only one or two drinks. Usually, I didn't have limits. I would most of the time feel really bad about myself the next morning, and I regret a lot of tings that I did when I was drunk. Since the past two months, I drank only one drink 3 times, and I really didn't miss alcohol that much. The less you drink, the less you want to go back to it. I will probably stop drinking completely eventually. During the last 2 months I realised that my health was better, my relationships were better, and mostly I was able to learn how to love myself. The #9 is so true. I'm not saying that drinking is bad for everyone, we are all reacting differently to it. Realising that it was bad for myself, was the best wake up call I've ever had. Thank you again for this video !
Always struggled in my relationships friends, partners and especially family. My family are all drinkers and I'm breaking the cycle. Hope this all improves with time and sobriety, tryna lead by example.
To be honest, number 5 is one of the worst problems for me lol.... I really get myself in massive trouble sending out stupid messages via facebook or other media to people my sober me doesn't even want to have contact with or, which is worse, to people like a co-worker... whom I actually didnt want to add to my facebook but just did so in drunken stupor... and other stuff like that... sometimes I wake up in the mornings and spend like 30 minutes just burying my head in the pillow out of embarrassment... so No 5 truly is one of the BIG REASONS!!! ^^ No 5 is the reason why I havent been able to cut ties with people for years... I actually didnt want to have contact with them, in some cases even managed to distance myself and then.... well you know the story...there were cases when I had 3 hours of text messages in my account later... and I didnt even know what I wrote...
Very very well explained brother. I smirked when you were talking about " the drunk texts" cause it's so true, then the next day you feel like a idiot. Anyways congrats on you being sober, that is my mission now too👍
Big fan of your newer stuff NO idea why this older one popped up But when it came to your part about drunk texting and calling It made me laugh a bit and remember a time LONG LONG ago i was a manager at a call center some time after i got out of the military and going to college We were playing a online game night on the weekend, and one of the people on our clan was my manager's boss, so the boss -> boss -> boss of my boss And i got TANKED that night, i was crushing it too, a bit to much to the point i started to threaten the boss, insulting the shit out of him using a lot of volgar stuff that is "Offensive" in 2023 Oh man, i do NOT remember any of this and came to work I was called into the office before i could even log in and well, him being a smarter guy than me RECORDED the 45 some minutes of me going off Talk about shame......But i think of it now after some time sober after 30 years or so and just laugh at how retar....sorry stupid i was back then when i got drunk
@@EugeneAxe a true alcoholic would look past health issues and keep drinking. @tommy Heckman. It does take time but you've got to take it one step at a time . Congratulate yourself on every positive movement. Keep trying and you will get there , its 1000000x better life trust me.
I’ll have 5 years on January 11th. Best decision I ever made. From a homeless drunk to a hard working amateur powerlifter. Lovey sober life
Awesome mate - come share your story in the Facebook community! Sounds epic: facebook.com/groups/436524337281989/

So glad more and more people waking up we were set up wrong i believe

You can never have two drinks it will accumulate and end up where you started, the best is to let them demon go once and for all

What made me quit was when I found out it was giving me a serious health problem.
