I love alcohol, but once i pick up i can't put it down. I stopped drinking for a year, once i picked it up i destroyed everything i had. almost 10 months sober, this time in recovery.
Fuc$ the mistake, just start over. All your efforts do not add up to one lack of impulse. Keep going. There are a million others, just like you, cheering you over the finish line. Chin up, bro!
Just remember life isn't boring or useless without it you got this just cause everyone else at the pub is fucked up doesn't mean you can't be there sober sobriety isn't boring or miserable
25 years ago I had quit drinking for ten months got in shape and felt great. I went out with new friends and had a light beer and got back in the habit again. I have been sober for two months now. I know that I can never drink again and don’t want to because I’m enjoying life again. You can stop again.
My wife and I are coming up on 6 months sober together. Having a partner makes it much easier as we have someone to make the journey with and hold each other accountable. Our relationship has become stronger, we’ve lost 80 lbs between the two of us, I’ve come off of thyroid and anxiety medication. Our family and son, most importantly, have seen the positive changes. We’re saving $100’s per month and have money for other things we want and want to do. We’re sleeping better, moods are better, feel better. There are no negatives of quitting; only positives.
I quit drinking over 4 years ago and i would not change that for anything.. i also quit smoking over 7 years ago.. Life is a Blessing and you need to show appreciation to life and the universe will help you manifest your full potential 💯💯💚💚
It's my fifth day sober now - almost lost my daughter. Now the authorities are involved and I am grateful as I did not previously dare to take the step to quit. There have been terrible days of anxiety when many thoughts come to mind and a bad conscience. Determined never to drink again - it has ruined so much. Thank you for this video - it is even more empowering.
Ive been sober since last October, im going to a bachelor party at the end of this month so i told my buddy straight up if we need a DD i can drive as i dont drink any more, i thought there would be some push back but hes been very understanding about it. I do have some anxiety about the party because these events are almost non existant without alcohol but im going to stay true to myself, thats power when we can say no.
Trust me I'm 5 days into detoxing from heavy drinking and it's brutal, get help if you drank heavy it can be dangerous to quit cold turkey. I finally feel better, much better than when I was a drunk. It's worth it to stop but better to not start in the first place.
Day 15 off the booze for me. Thanks for this video, I needed this kick up the ass to keep moving forward one day at a time. Alcohol has robbed me of so much time.
Your aware of it at least. That's the hardest part of the battle. Now your in the fight. Your on your journey now. Fighting the good Fight is tough but o worth it. Keep battling
27 years sobriety. 36 in/around AA. Graduated with 8 years sobriety and drank. Crawled back into program. Family disease. Just focus on the present day. In my case it was all spiritual. Couldn't have done it on my own. Sugar has a significant part to play with alcoholism.
I lost 14 years to heavily drinking every day. I'm 5 months sobber. I avoided drinking in the Army until I left 22 years later, it's a massive drinking culture there.
I've struggled with it for decades.. had quit for a number of yrs and my ex-wife got me to try wine which led me back again to hard alcohol. I still drink but I pray daily to quit. Could really use your prayers . Please help. I'm so tired of alcohol but the taste, I can taste it just looking at it
You don't need our prayers, you need to TAKE ACTION. "Please help"?...ok, here's your help. Get off your ass and get to a closed meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. Do that as many times a week as you are now drinking! If you're not happy with the results in 30 days, your misery will be refunded...in FULL!
It's just so everywhere. Every sporting event, above the scoreboards. Every game, every event. Somebody dies, we drink, somebody's born, we drink. We're happy we drink. We're sad we drink. We're hungry, we drink. After we eat we drink. It's just too much. Give it up
At this point, I prefer being alone experiencing health/peace over being surrounded by a ton of intoxicated, surface-level 'friends' to feel like I exist.
Im one month and a week sober today from alcohol and smoking and i already feel wonderful from drinking almost everyday and hard on week ends liquor and beer mix. But all credit is to my God. We all mater and we all have a purpose if we seek him. Good luck everyone. It is possible
@@angel1010gomez thats great. Your getting over the hardest part. Well my advice is make sure you hang around people who truly love you and will hold you accountable. Leave the bad friends. Also the time you would spend drinking or doing bad, replace it with good. For me i would get home from work and drink. Now i get home and i work out. So i dont get board and tempted. Seek God go to church. Last if you can find a support group. Its worked for me. Now i see how absent i been in my kids and families lives even though im the main provider drinking and drugs robs us of so much. Your worth it and your family is worth it. So let get it! Good luck. 👍
Starting around the 29:00 mark, JP talks about the Barney Gumble character from the Simpsons. I think Barney knew the cost of his alcoholism on his life. In the episode '22 Films About Springfield', where the main characters make short films about their lives, Barney makes a film talking about his alcoholism... that short piece reduced me to tears. I'm 59 and my drinking has had an immeasurable cost to my life even if I only count the lost opportunity to believe, to have faith and choose life, over running to alcohol and wasting yet another day..
I'm 18 years sober. My relationships with my husband and children was the deciding factor. Didn't need outside help. I just cut down every day until I was teetotal. It is dangerous to cut it out overnight as with most drugs of choice.
I agree!! Ok guys I’ve decided to stop 🛑 drinking!! I’m a whatabe actor!! I Love Tony Hopkins !! 😢so I’m ready to start living !! And I’m gonna go for it!! Thanks 🙏 ❤ guys for sharing!!
Most times I drink I do it responsibly. But on rare occasion I get to a point of drunkness where I cant stop and get out of control to the point where I ruin relationships with other people around me. Leaning towards stopping entirely, as it feels difficult to control myself from never having those rare fuck ups that are severese enough to justify stopping
I lost everything because of alcohol. Finally I’ve stopped drinking and killing myself intentionally. I’m hoping to rebuild my life from scratch. The years I wasted bring me to tears.
I agree to a point. I’ve never drank alone, never craved alcohol. I quit purely to eliminate hangovers. I don’t think alcohol should be vilified. I’m loving not being hungover, no anxiety, saving money, healthy relationship. Still I miss social drinking.
I thank my Heavenly Father that I have not had a problem with alcoholism. I used to drink on occasion, small amounts, still woke up with headache, this is when I quit.
The beginning of sobriety is going to be rough but it can be done. Sobriety looks different for different people. Sobriety doesn’t mean that you all the sudden become monetarily rich or other problems go away. I think that sobriety helps you deal with problems way better and of course you will feel better.
Not easy living in a cold climate and not to drink. Spend a lot of times indoors, not a lot of sunlight, heavy workload.. Jordan peterson covered this as he lives in Canada.
Except Anthony saying "keep fighting" is totally wrong when it comes to getting sober. "Fighting" is what keeps people in the vicious cycle of stopping and starting again. The basis for recovery is "Surrender"!
You just have think, "I am not drinking today". It has made it so much easier for me, I call it my superpower, it becomes empowering. The facts of this drug are just staggering.
I drink beer and whiskey 2 or 3 times in a month with sprouts and salad, sometimes don't drink for 3-4 months. drinking is not my habit but when I drink I enjoy a lot 😋.. and this routine is from last 8 years. but I saw many of my friends drink too much..
Take out the MEN only part. Almost skipped over for that but I love compilations like this. I don’t care if it’s all dudes - it’s helpful to ANY person no matter the gender.
I completely agree that this is good advice, educational, and inspirational for anyone to watch. Maybe take out “men only” and replace it with “especially for men” or “inspired by men”?
Definitely can’t sleep. Fuckin sucks! But I have to quit. I’m tired of missing out on life. Tired of lying and hiding my drinks. Also scared of getting liver cirrhosis. Half my cousins have all died of cirrhosis. One day at a time. Day 1 right now and still up at 1am can’t sleep. But i can do it
This sucks …..but I am in a program (MY CHOICE) ….and although I am still a slave to a substance…I have overcome others …I will overcome this as well ❤️❤️
@@SirLangsalotI was on naltrexone daily and missed alcohol, but used the "Sinclair method" with naltrexone and now don't miss alcohol one bit. Def recommend looking up Sinclair method if you've already got a prescription for naltrexone
What if the drinker is not getting blasted but is drinking enough to annoy and concern those around him/her.. They think that they don’t have a problem because they think of those drunks falling over as having a problem.. they’re “just fine” with a couple drinks every evening and when not drinking counting the days down until the next drink..
Michael Caine, Nick Lowe, Robert Altman, Keith Richards, & a number of geezers I've known personally, overdid it in rather epic fashion with hard liquor & sometimes other non-liquid stuff. They had way too much fun, stopped gulping the hard booze, spent a period of time not drinking at all, then returned to normal drinking, enjoying wine or beer, & carried on being quite balanced, successful people. They didn't need a "program" & they take a fundamentalist approach, unlike all the AA people I've known, who are rather ridiculous in their group-think, fear-based, secular religion fundamentalist dogma. Too many people confuse basic behavior modification with grand opera!
@@jakezywek6852 "An addictive personality" is a load of bollocks, Auld Jakezywek. Clinically, there is no such thing. Such a phrase is as much nonsense as "addiction is a disease". And the phrase "total abstinence from the addiction" is grammatically unfortunate. You exhibit muddleheadedness mixed with dogma.
I've been sober for three days. It might seem ridiculous but i'm realising that alcohol is the reason why i've been doing cocaine. I haven't done any for the last 4 days, and i feel better than ever. I've always known that alcohol and drugs was the wall between me and total succes and hapiness. I've done more thing for my work and for myself in three days than for the last month. I'm going for the sober life. I'm going straight to hapiness and success. FROM HOPELESS TO GREATNESS.
IDK if I was lucky, but it’s been over 9 months and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal after go’ogling and reading Steffon Barkload’s Quit Drinking Forever, not even within the first 30 days after I quit and told no one, did not need AA meetings or meds either.
Alcohol took every single person that was important to me except for my mother. We’ve got to use the medications that are available and we’ve got to advertise those medication‘s that work. I’m telling all of you alcoholics out there…. Your doctor has medication’s that will stop you from drinking because it’ll make you ill if you drink. My wife used it and it works. The problem is these people believe that they can’t have a life without alcohol. The best thing you can do is get rid of all alcoholics in your life. They will destroy your life eventually, or they will just not pay attention to you and all they will do is drink.
I Truly like this disclosure of lives...but the people speaking are men. As a woman, I would truly like to hear from women...why we do this, a why....we need a female host for women. This is REALLY insightful though... just more of the masculine side of this issue.
As a French I don't really get it. Does it mean that in the US you have to either drink every day or not at all? Don't you also have rituals like drinking wine with friends at a dinner or having a beer with a friend over the weekend ? This video looks very black or white to me but I also understand that alcoholism is an awful stuff. Just stick to social rituals and if you drink alone more than one drink and once in a while you have done wrong somewhere and obviously you became an addict.
As much as I like Anthony Hopkins, he is totally wrong about "keep fighting". "Fighting", "struggling", "battling", "gritting your teeth", and having a "death grip on the steering wheel", are ALL major roadblocks to sobriety! The majority of videos on YT about "not drinking" are completely focused on the wrong perspective. The goal is "SOBRIETY", not "not drinking", or trying to "quit drinking", or cutting back on "drinking". That is all garbage that needs to be incinerated. Alcohol is NOT the root problem, so stop focusing on it, and START focusing on "living differently"! Sobriety is not an intellectual proposition like a math equation. The solution is literally about how we move our feet. Some of the smartest people in the world have died drunk, because they believed they could "think" their way out of a fatal condition. It's total bullshyt! "Get busy LIVIN, or get busy DYIN". Those are your only options!
The song seems the same. And it's a good song. But where do people like I go? I want to stop just like you. But you don't have the insanity that I do. Imagine being a prisoner in your own mind. To constantly hear noises that aren't there???? A god awful ringing that NEVER subsides? Hmmm? And the only thing that makes it quiet is alcohol.......Do you think I don't know that it's destroyed(ing) my life???? Hmmm? Come live a day in my world and you just might beg for death. So my question to you is again, where do people like me go?
The trend of quick-fire words on videos (like we're all fucking deaf) needs to die. It's a 30 minute video, are the tiktok kiddies really just previewing this one on their phones? FFS.

Hello, I wanted to make a complimation of only male celebs with messages that I think predominatly relate to men, the jocko's etc. I wonder if it didnt say (For MEN Only) would the title be as intriguing for you?
@@emma.l.kinsey I think whomever is at the point of watching videos about alcoholism/addiction, isn't really judging themselves on being a Jocko/male/whatever society says. We are here because we're stripping it down. Be better. ❤️
If you're absolutely serious about stopping drinking ... then do the following - NEVER purchase alcohol. NEVER allow another person to purchase alcohol for you. NEVER set foot inside a bar. NEVER accept alcohol from anyone at all, even when it's unexpectedly offered to you. NEVER allow anyone to bring alcohol into your living space on any occasion whatsoever. NEVER put even a single drop of alcohol into your mouth. There - and I dumbed it down a bit even for all of the dummies out there.
@@aeropepe504 - Doing works. Talking doesn't work. Correct choices must be made, or you fail. That goes for everything in life, and not just for alcohol. It's a pitiful thing to release your personal power to anything bad which has an influence on you, whether it's alcohol or anything else. Very simply ... if you do the things which I mentioned up above, then you'll succeed. Dumbing it down any more than this would just prove how seriously dumb you are.
Yeah it's madness, hit an AA meeting and go into rehab if you have to. It doesnt matter if you lose your job or your house, it sure beats dying because in the end it will kill you!

I've been sober for three days. It might seem ridiculous but i'm realising that alcohol is the reason why i've been doing cocaine. I haven't done any for the last 4 days, and i feel better than ever. I've always known that alcohol and drugs was the wall between me and total succes and hapiness. I've done more thing for my work and for myself in three days than for the last month. I'm going for the sober life. I'm going straight to hapiness and success. FROM HOPELESS TO GREATNESS.
Today is 5 days for me and I feel excited about it. It will get hard but I am excited!!
Alcohol has been associated with every dumb decision I’ve made in my adult life. Day 1 is today
Great advice apart from the ginger singer.
Why for men only?
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching Alyanna!
IDK if I was lucky, but it’s been over 9 months and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal after go’ogling and reading Steffon Barkload’s Quit Drinking Forever, not even within the first 30 days after I quit and told no one, did not need AA meetings or meds either.
You should take (For men only) out of the title. This is for anyone who drinks.
Thanks for your feedback!

Alcohol took every single person that was important to me except for my mother. We’ve got to use the medications that are available and we’ve got to advertise those medication‘s that work. I’m telling all of you alcoholics out there…. Your doctor has medication’s that will stop you from drinking because it’ll make you ill if you drink. My wife used it and it works. The problem is these people believe that they can’t have a life without alcohol. The best thing you can do is get rid of all alcoholics in your life. They will destroy your life eventually, or they will just not pay attention to you and all they will do is drink.

I Truly like this disclosure of lives...but the people speaking are men. As a woman, I would truly like to hear from women...why we do this, a why....we need a female host for women.
This is REALLY insightful though... just more of the masculine side of this issue.
I’m not buying that Harry Potter had a drinking problem.
I think this is a big misconception, you dontneed to have a drinking problem for alcohol to be a problem in your life.
As a French I don't really get it. Does it mean that in the US you have to either drink every day or not at all?
Don't you also have rituals like drinking wine with friends at a dinner or having a beer with a friend over the weekend ?
This video looks very black or white to me but I also understand that alcoholism is an awful stuff. Just stick to social rituals and if you drink alone more than one drink and once in a while you have done wrong somewhere and obviously you became an addict.
Nothing wrong with it being men only. Its a good video and good video title. The complaining feminists have more than enough
Alcohol killed my father and brother been sober 4 months its Not gonna be My story
As much as I like Anthony Hopkins, he is totally wrong about "keep fighting". "Fighting", "struggling", "battling", "gritting your teeth", and having a "death grip on the steering wheel", are ALL major roadblocks to sobriety!
The majority of videos on YT about "not drinking" are completely focused on the wrong perspective. The goal is "SOBRIETY", not "not drinking", or trying to "quit drinking", or cutting back on "drinking". That is all garbage that needs to be incinerated.
Alcohol is NOT the root problem, so stop focusing on it, and START focusing on "living differently"! Sobriety is not an intellectual proposition like a math equation. The solution is literally about how we move our feet. Some of the smartest people in the world have died drunk, because they believed they could "think" their way out of a fatal condition. It's total bullshyt! "Get busy LIVIN, or get busy DYIN". Those are your only options!
Some of the people here have sadly passed on which makes their stories all that more poignant.
I spent 500 easy on booze , if no t more each Week
Why has every fuckin got subtitles??? We have ears!!!!!!!!!!!
hhaha when the videos have subtitles they always have better retention
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍
Why’s this for men only? Alcoholism is something that effects women too bruh
the low count of "likes" of this video.....but hey! at least Emma L Kinsey gets payed.
Hey Ralph, I hope you liked the video. Why do you say "at least I get paid" I dont get it?
shorty , ask why muslims not drinking it . i mean real muslims
Every one of these bums are drinking now. How do I know hang out with them and we drink together if you have a problem quit if you don’t enjoy
ok, this is not a videoclip, reported. DONT use forced captions
The song seems the same. And it's a good song. But where do people like I go? I want to stop just like you. But you don't have the insanity that I do. Imagine being a prisoner in your own mind. To constantly hear noises that aren't there???? A god awful ringing that NEVER subsides? Hmmm? And the only thing that makes it quiet is alcohol.......Do you think I don't know that it's destroyed(ing) my life???? Hmmm? Come live a day in my world and you just might beg for death. So my question to you is again, where do people like me go?
AA has changed my life.
The trend of quick-fire words on videos (like we're all fucking deaf) needs to die. It's a 30 minute video, are the tiktok kiddies really just previewing this one on their phones? FFS.
Huberman still annoys me. Such a phony
Still living da dream near La Jolla California for 29 years plus thus far..know several over the years some are old friends these celebrities however many are my fans with their own fans now..😊
Holy F#€k am I thenonly one who hates the stupid subtitles in the middle of the screen?? Cant watch it like this... I am interested to see what celebreties got to say but on this way i cant...
Why MEN only? 😂😂
Agreed! I really enjoyed this, and the title of off-putting. Excellent video compilation 🙏
Hello, I wanted to make a complimation of only male celebs with messages that I think predominatly relate to men, the jocko's etc. I wonder if it didnt say (For MEN Only) would the title be as intriguing for you?
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the comilation, I'll be putting more of these together for the future.
@@emma.l.kinsey I think whomever is at the point of watching videos about alcoholism/addiction, isn't really judging themselves on being a Jocko/male/whatever society says. We are here because we're stripping it down. Be better. ❤️
@@desertshooter007 I didn't say I was disappointed. I loved this compilation.
If you're absolutely serious about stopping drinking ... then do the following -
NEVER purchase alcohol.
NEVER allow another person to purchase alcohol for you.
NEVER set foot inside a bar.
NEVER accept alcohol from anyone at all, even when it's unexpectedly offered to you.
NEVER allow anyone to bring alcohol into your living space on any occasion whatsoever.
NEVER put even a single drop of alcohol into your mouth.
There - and I dumbed it down a bit even for all of the dummies out there.
For an alcoholic, this advice will work for about 15 minutes.
@@aeropepe504 - Doing works. Talking doesn't work.
Correct choices must be made, or you fail. That goes for everything in life, and not just for alcohol. It's a pitiful thing to release your personal power to anything bad which has an influence on you, whether it's alcohol or anything else. Very simply ... if you do the things which I mentioned up above, then you'll succeed. Dumbing it down any more than this would just prove how seriously dumb you are.
Yeah it's madness, hit an AA meeting and go into rehab if you have to.
It doesnt matter if you lose your job or your house, it sure beats dying because in the end it will kill you!
