Beginner's Guide To Stopping Alcohol: www.habitsv2.c...
26 years sober on 10/7/22.....nobody thought I'd ever sober up. You can do it!
Congratulation on your future anniversary. I have on coming up in December. Now I understand the phrase "One Day At A Time".
To those who are struggling, find some on to talk to. Find a meeting to stick with ( what ever flavor you like or can stand). It does get easier.
My alcohol problem began in 2013. Over the years I went from drinking 3-4 nights a week to every day. During some really hard times, I drank all day too. When I started drinking too much, I was a fitness instructor. Alcohol became a priority and I stopped doing the things I loved. I gained 50 pounds and came to a point where drinking was no longer fun, it was something I had to do. Both of my parents died from alcohol related reasons, yet I didn’t let that stop me. I have been alcohol free for 25 days! I joined the local fitness center & I’ve lost 11 pounds! My birthday was this past Saturday and I’m so proud of myself for making it through without drinking! My skin looks so much better and I can honestly say that I am having so much more fun now! I only had one sleepless night. I’ve been sleeping hard ever since, I can think more clearly now, and all of my relationships have improved now that I’ve removed this beast from my life!
Morning of day 9 for me, my drinkers mind has been messing with my head in the evenings the last couple days. I know I’m in control of the thoughts and I can dial the cravings up or down. I woke up this morning with a completely different mindset , happy I was sober and didn’t drink. What a mindfuck.. it’s still early in my journey and I have to be diligent .. I’ve been watching a ton of Kevin’s videos over the last couple weeks, trying to reprogram my mind..
You are getting stronger every day 👏
You can do this. It happens slowly, but the reprogramming does happen.
@INELUCTABLE Hang in there bud! I feel so much better after 9 days of keeping this poison out of me..
@@HabitsV2 Thanks Kevin, you’re doing good work and I appreciate the support
That's what I did. I watched/listened to the videos, worked, and tried to sleep for about the first month. Then, I started hitting the gym to get healthier. The days will start flying by in a little while. Good job 👏 👍
I struggle with the weekday evenings. Usually I would hit the drink as soon as I could. This has held me back a few times. Addressing this, I now get in bed for 8/9, read for a hour, sleep by 10. This has resulted in me getting up at 5/6am, out for a walk and ready for the day ahead.
I did the same when I stopped drinking. Going to bed early made a big difference in my life and really accelerated the process of changing my mentality and improving my health.
Going to bed earlier is a great way to counter cravings. Mornings are awesome sober!
Well I’m one week sober again, tired and sore, not sleeping well. Of course I don’t sleep well after drinking either, I just pass out. I cannot have alcohol in the house, or I will drink it, all of it, even if it’s “just one or two”. I’m trying to find something to replace it as a “reward”. Got a hard days work and lots of progress on the house done surely just one to “celebrate” is ok (it isn’t). I know I need to reframe all the things I relate to alcohol drinking and that the psychological aspect of the addiction is the hardest for me. I’m afraid of going to social events where I know everyone will be drinking, I usually deal with my anxiety at these things by drinking. Fear? Loss? Grief? Celebrations… there’s just so many different hooks that the substance has in me. But I quit smoking, so I can quit this too!
I have found that I am angry when I feel I am denying myself from drinking. When I realize the truth …I don’t want to drink then my angry leaves and I remember I am free❤️
If you haven't seen it, there's an excellent movie about this topic with Denzel Washington. At the end of the movie, his character (now in prison) says that for the first time in his life, he is free. My name is Ted.
Retirement from alcohol,i love that phrase.
For me, withdrawal creates deep anger. I am angrier with everything and inwardly wonder if sobriety is even worth it.
I get so angry for no reason I feel like a child that had his lollipop taken away.
same here. I feel like some unknown kinda fear has engulfed me. Can't express that moment. But it happens. Nothing short of a depression I guess
@@damianlopez7630 how long do you usually go between drinking days?
I've also found this angry feeling and also at times completely flat, can't understand why
The crippling mental anxiety/stress over every little thing was the worst part for me
Water under the bridge now, I hope
Nearly 2 months cut from alcohol coming from 5 days a week drinking multiple shots/ beers per night since 2019. The absolute worst timeframe was the first 24 hours and 7 days. Within the 24 hours I experienced night sweats and very poor quality sleep. The following 6 days I was free of the sweats but I was found myself tired several hours earlier than what was normal before.
Thankfully, the subsequent week improved and both quality of sleep and energy levels came back up. I’m now at the point where I have dreams regularly again.
The new hard part is working on the mental things that come with a sober mind but the improved quality of life makes it worth it. It also helps that the feeling I experienced was becoming bored of alcohol, there’s only so many nights it was entertaining before it became played out.
Night sweats are very common. Lasts only one or two nights. It's not a shame, it's a sign of recovery.
I quit 13 months ago. I think its true that the psychological component is probably the most difficult. surprisingly I don't think so much about alcohol now but initially I found it very difficult. Kevin's point about the mental void is very important to consider. There is no point in removing one toxic habit and replacing it with something similar.
Congrats Richard :)
Choosing Constructive discomfort versus Destructive Comfort....by staying the course on abstinence...11 days. Happy in the mornings , knowing that I survived the previous day without succumbing to the temptation. But God the evenings are terrible. 😂
The evenings are definitely tougher for most people. Doesn't last long if you work on the mindsets.
Spot on advice Kevin. It's a relearning process of how to be in the world that gets easier as time goes by. At almost 10 months into my "retirement" from alcohol, I'm loving the freedom from its grip.
Great advice! I love the comment about “Retiring” from alcohol! Today I am retiring from alcohol ~ ❤
@@katibelgrade9554 break a leg ❤️
Great to hear Letitia :)
How beautiful your nature walk so inspiring your message this morning 🌅
Glad to hear you liked it :)
drinking every night for ten years I finally decided to stop . I’m on day 9 since my last drink and I’m still having trouble sleeping,brain still foggy as heck , not hungry , but really thirsty ! And a headache that won’t go away just trying to take it one day at a time .. thank you for your videos it helps a lot especially at night when my cravings are worst
Been watching Kevin for several years now - the video quality is getting so good! The visuals are mightily entertaining just as the insights are profoundly valuable. Good on you, sir. Hope you gave the horses a pat on the head as you went by...
I stopped drinking when I realized it was hindering my performance on the trumpet and I realized I enjoyed making progress with music more than I enjoyed getting drunk. So I think it helps to have something you’re passionate about. In my case, it more than filled the “void” left by alcohol.
I am tortured by day of drinking, days of sobriety, day after day, week after week. I feel so strong at times and just give in. I'm in a most depressing marriage with my husband who had an injury 8 years ago. He constantly complains about pain ( does not drink cause meds he takes would be fatal). Each day is a struggle for me to listen to his complaints. He acts hopeless, in the kitchen especially, until he can manage to prepare something for only himself. I am miserable. Sober on nights when I have gritted my teeth and gone to bed to read...in my room. Other nights I drink until I pass out.
I recommend getting medical advice depending on the level of the alcohol dependency. Detox programs are a very safe and effective method of getting through those initial days. It may well be a matter of life or death.
I love you brother thank you so much!
No problem
I quit drinking on 10/01/22, been a full blown alcoholic for the past 12 years, it's time for a reboot. Definitely uncomfortable but eventually it will be normal.
Another great video Kevin. Nice.
So true and hard the same time - "enjoying a discomfort ". Who can learn that - will win all battles.
Absolutely
Day8 for me2day after 4atempts failed before had 2stop speaking 2certain people, the detox was brutal my whole body still aches cold goose bumps, no sleep feel weak, but sticking it out, my headaches are still here, drinking loads Warter, just want to feel well again, I know ill do it this time, just time goes so slow when your ill.for anyone else reading this stick it out things will get better eventually. Be strong and don't give up.
3 Months now.. I have ZERO withdrawal pains/symptoms, I just don't have any. I don't regret stopping drinking its been long overdue & I couldn't be happier.
I’m 4days sober from 45 years drinking… I’m 57
It's a trial and error, change is difficult, and all stimulates must be avoided Smoking, pot, junk foods. excess sugars and salts, the body responds into a comfort mode when excess of stimulates into the body is introduced. I remember a runner that said, in order for her to be normal, she had to take up a healthy alternative to drugs and alcohol as both her brothers died of drug and alcohol abuse. She chose to run.
I have been sober for 2.5 months, using benzodiazepines for the anxiety/panic attacks, and trying to wean off... but my doctor has just stopped prescribing me them and now I am probably going to start having seizures soon as a result. I am contacting a withdrawal management center to try to get enough medication to properly taper off. It is an absolute nightmare.
@@SobrietyBestie I am about 2 weeks off benzos now and no seizures but I still can't drive and now I have horrible insomnia :(
I imagine that’s a huge relief to be 2 weeks in with no seizures 🙏🏼 I couldn’t drive either (I had a freeway phobia which is why I started taking klonopin in the first place) but slowly after getting off benzos and booze my nervous system calmed and I got back on the road. I so feel where you’re at right now and it does get better, the insomnia, anxiety, etc… wishing you much inner peace 🙏🏼 and also I think you’re super courageous!
Done a month, feels like a year, at the moment l am struggling 👎👎👎
Good job done bro. Hang in one day at a time. Am on 11 days .
I'm on 11 days now myself. The longest I've ever done is a full month without booze, as I was taking college courses and spent a fortune on the classes. I remember thinking that I would ruin my brain if I drank prior to the exams that were coming up.
Anyways, congrats on the month, I would offer advice on staying on the path but I have none to give.
Not that this should encourage you to drink, but I remember being terrified to drink after the month. My friend so eloquently put it "if you drink, you drink." It sounds like downplaying what we go through but at the same time it took the seriousness out of our goal which was comforting.
I try reminding myself that I don't have a drinking problem; but rather, I have a STOP drinking problem. I don't lie to myself. I own it. I love drinking. And I can't stop. Equally as inwardly honest I tell myself that drinking is also unhealthy and poison and I'm not all about that life anymore. (Yes, easier said than done).
Cheers 😉 not gonna lie got to stop, the problem I'm finding is that I have so much anger & hate to anything & everything & that is really really not me, all I can do is a day at a time, all the best buddy
@@bacchushollywood2021 not gonna lie it's the hardest thing l've ever done & yeah my moods of hate&anger wow. Day at time cheers 😉 for all the best buddy
You can do it. It sucks just a day at a time wish you the best hang in there. 💪🏻
Strange this came up in my feed, but glad. I tried to quit about 8 months ago and had horrible withdrawals and even had a seizure from it. I fell off the wagon after three months because I'm an idiot and thought I had it under control. I am taking a different approach this time and just started weening off about a week ago. The night sweats are the worst! filling the void is even harder because I live by myself and don't have any responsibilities except for my job. I'm confident this time will be better.
I liked my drink, and I was never abusive or mean to anyone else when I drank. But as they say, a man takes a drink, then the drink takes the man. I'm not sober just yet, but recently took my first step backwards from the temptation. I smoked a pack a day for 20 years, that was harder than I ever expected to give up. This will be comparatively easy. I have a partner who is supportive, and I think that will make all the difference. If you struggle, know that you are loved.
keep on trucking fellow friend of Bill!
16 days of sobriety 💪 I'm going insane like a mad dog but Ik I can and I will make it happen this time.
You got this! You are not alone!
@@amichele66 It means a lot. Thank you from whichever part of the world you are from.
Idk if it's just me but I still have really bad anxiety and get really shaky and edgy around people doing normal things.
Like I prefer to be by myself but then sometimes that makes me depressed, and lonely.
That big drop on the lefts a bit scary Kev 😮
You need a. benzo for a few days or weeks to help you with withdrawls then abstinence that's it stop
Somehow I quit naturally. A hobby helps. Keep your hands busy.
Is there a radio transmitter up where you were walking in this video? You can here a radio signal interfering with your audio. Must be a strong signal.
Loose wire in the mic.. :) Shite happens.
Been sober for over a year now. As really hard as it was, I'm Glad I've Changed my Bad Habits. Because that's all they really are, a Bad Habit we've gotten our Brain use too.
Quick story , i use to drink very early on the weekends when I was off, say around 6AM I've always been an early bird. first thing I would do is walk to the kitchen open the freezer get the tequila bottle an take around 6-9 shots an chase it down with a beer. I still wake up at 6AM, but for the first half of the year being Sober, i would walk to the kitchen an start getting Anxiety..never realized why.. then i started to notice the pattern of my past. I still do the same things , just without the alcohol, and it's a scary mother fucker trying to teach new things to your brain ( but you can cus the brain is plastic) . Changing your habits into healthier habits will take time but it is possible. But like Kevin said , we have to be careful on what we replace the booze with, I've done It myself at the beginning, with Lots of Sugar , cus the brain is craving Sugar ,something we got it use to all these years, with the booze and other processed junks.
Sometimes I flirt with Sobriety like I used to flirt with drinking.
It's very interesting.
Can you stop after. 2 week binge?
Outstanding advice. There is one thing I must know; where are you walking? Adirondack Mountains?
He's in Andorra in Spain.
'Get rid of alcohol and everything associated with it'....does that include a spouse that drinks lol
Haha... in some cases
CBD oil helps A LOT!
I have crazy day and night sweats after drinking. How long did this last for anyone who's been through this symptom from withdrawal ( I drink a fifth and a half of vodka every other day )
hello dude
Kevin, love your videos. But Marijuana is not harmless. Continued used has been scientifically proven to cause paranoia and at worst schizophrenia. As you said don’t replace one bad habit or addiction with another.
I've never said marijuana is harmless. I see people switching from alcohol to that drug all the time. I think it's a big mistake
@@HabitsV2 maybe it was sarcasm but you said Marijuana no problem there, chocolate. Etc. I’m your number 1 fan. So no aggro here. ❤️ Your bloody brilliant. This is your life’s work. Thank you.
@@IrishInAus I think sarcasm haha
@@HabitsV2 I am Oirish to you know. Love your work. Seriously. Great job. Changing lives and history. Go you!!
Hey everyone. Just asking. I drink on the way home from work until i go to bed. On the weekends i drink as soon as im awake which is around 7am until i pass out sometime. I really want to stop this. I've heard not to go cold turkey? Your thoughts guys would be sincerely appreciated. 😢
If you're worried on that side of things, you're better off asking someone with medical experience who knows you or has access to your medical records. Otherwise any advice is pure speculation.
Thank you very much. 👍
Were those wild horses??.😀
Somewhere in Spain.
Hi mate, i'm on day 16 of sobriety after a couple of decades of abusing alcohol. I'm taking supplements like b complex, d3, magnesium and electrolytes. Everything in life has drastically improved but i am stuck on one particular issue. My tolerance for bullshit has become virtually non existent. Whereas before with alcohol i was able to avoid the confrontational aspect of relationships, now my tolerance for people's stupidity and selfishness has become non existent.
It's empowering in the sense that i've been putting up with a lot of nonsense for many years but i'm struggling with sleep and keeping my calm in the face of some adversities. What would you recommend pls?
Hello! Try 5-htp for sleep. It helps a bunch! And it’s natural.
@@amichele66 thanks. You’re right. I do have some at home and I tried it last week. It helped. I’ll try it again. How’s your sobriety journey going?
👍🤝😎😁
