I cried happy tears for him. I also really appreciate that they included his feelings of anger and failure and shame. I could palpably *feel* how upset he was, and it really helped me understand his craving for alcohol. He did an incredibly difficult thing when he chose not to drink that night and do something healthy instead, and I am really proud of him.
i can relate to that on such a personal level its honestly one of the hardest things you can overcome while getting sober but once you reach that place its a feeling you cant describe
Yeah. I went on a three-month alcohol strike last year and a few people thought I was pregnant and trying to hide it from them. They couldn't believe I was doing it because I wanted to improve my drinking habits.
My friends did that too when I stopped drinking for a short while (deffing for boxing tornament) and it's nothing to be pissed about, really. It's just a sarcastic, funny thing to rub it in your face. Alcohol in moderation is fun and healthy even. Not for the body, maybe, but it makes you feel good and it's a key to many social constructs in friendship. Having a few beers twice a month with friends makes a whole lot of difference. And if you were to stay home and eat chips instead, you'd damage your body as well. Moderation is key, and because of that, I don't really think you should quit doing anything you enjoy as long as it's not making big changes in your health.
I’m 15 days sober after drinking heavy for the last 5 years...it might not seem like long time to people...but it feels so good to me...I don’t ever wanna drink again in my life
@@benimcanm351 I relapsed at 2 months and began drinking heavily again but I am now 5 and a half months sober I haven’t had a drink since New Years Day
No one will probably read this, but I'll be 11 months sober by next weekend. edit: i should probably add an update. i did end up being sober for almost 5 years before relapsing due to some awful things happening in my life. but i'm trying to get back on track and im 4 months sober now.
He is not even my boyfriend, and yet I am so proud of him! It's so cute how Becky supports him through this and how he supports her through her hair condition. That's love ❤️
No no no that is another one of the ladies at buzzfeed, although I forget her name. :) Becky made a video abut her hair condition at buzzfeed a while back. Her hair condition is called Alopecia which is very painful and causes her to be bald, that is why she wears wigs.
This is, by far, the best, I repeat, THE BEST video BuzzFeed has ever produced. I am not someone who drinks a lot at all, but Corey was the man in this video and I am so happy for him and Becky. This just made me think and just made me feel good. Congratulations. Keep going!
I don't drink, and I never have. I'm in my 30s now, and my (lack of) drinking habits have been questioned since I was a young teenager. It's such a private thing, and many have painful reasons for not drinking, be it addiction, family history or medical conditions. No one ever asks me why I don't drink coffee, but alcohol is practically mandatory in our society.
I’m 14 days clean from any drug, stopped for my girlfriend, I used to do any drug I can get my hands on, I’m only 17, and I have been using drugs since I was 13, now I look at the pictures of me being fucked out my face on anphet, coke, Mandy, ket, I look like I was dying, I almost overdosed in my friends house, I did speed, ket, coke, LSD, and was smoking bongs, my mate brought 2 grams of Mandy, I railed about .5 and after 2 minutes I fell to the floor and threw up, my body was freezing, but I was sweating, I dropped and started having a bad trip, I threw up blood twice, and then passed out, I woke up 15 hours later, and had a depressive state for about a month, but I carried on using pills to be happy, using about 5/6 a week. I am so happy I’m starting to be clean, and I won’t stop, I’m so determined
So true man, alcohol ruins your sensitivity to the world and your energy levels in general. Also a huge catalyst for winter depressions, relationship failures etc.
These are toxic masculinity norms (where men generally "bust each other's chops" instead of emotionally supporting each other, and have to drink to talk about deeper feelings/love/appreciation with their male friends etc). It is supposed to be "funny", and the guy who doesn't just take the abuse with a smile is often diminished for that. (TW SUICIDE, MURDER) And throwing the abusive "funny" comments at them is not the same as being supportive: it is harmful, limiting male friendships, and is believed to be part of the reason more men than women kill themselves. In this society, called a patriarchy, they're supposed to be "manly", "strong", not showing emotions, and other ridiculous toxic norms, which gravely affects their mental health. There is a lot of research on this, so I am not just making it up. This is the sad truth in our society. Many men wish it was different, because there is so much they can't talk to their male friends about, so many emotions they can't express because of these toxic norms. Ridiculous people like you are defending these toxic norms, and you probably don't even understand you're doing it. Just look at your own comment supporting the facts I mentioned: "It was in a *playful* manner *guys bust each others chops* in different ways. *Dont think so deeply* lol". We all have to work against harmful norms, to stop sexualising and objectifying women, stop forcing men into the limiting box called "manly", stop seeing HBTQIA+ as less worth, stop the rising murders of trans people etc etc. And what we all can do is say no to our friends making racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist comments and "jokes".
I find it shocking how other people have reacted to me stopping drinking. People have serious issues with alcohol. It’s really pushing me to carry on. I love not drinking. It’s an issue
Its common for people to have a negative reaction to you when you tell them you are not drinking. Its the "angry jack" response. It implies you know something they dont, or you are trying to be better amd improve, implying they are lesser and are doing something wrong. So instantly they become defensive on the inside, feeling like their choice to drink is being judged. Of course 99/100 times the choice to not drink is personal and has nothing to do with them as a individual, its a natural psychological response.
Good for you Ms. Nailtheday! Only one face you see in the mirror-tho as a man w/ great family, friends since grammar school, colleagues-none of their behaviors or reactions to mine mean a damn thing 😁
You grabbed this life-changing challenge by the horns and you stuck with it, even through the hardest of times. This is a great beginning on your best version of yourself. You are doing so well, and we are so many people across the world supporting you.
I’m one month sober from alcohol today! I lost 10lbs, I’m much happier and my mind is clearer. I also been eating good and working out. This is the longest Im gone without alcohol in 3 years!
Great video. I find it hard to believe 800 plus people feel the need to give this a thumbs down. Im currently on day 14 of being alcohol free. Usually im drunk at least every night. This has inspired me to continue my quest and stick a bird up to the hatter's. Not drinking alcohol is the new cool!!! 👊
I mean I kinda get it. I can't put my finger on it but something feels inauthentic. Like a short film and they are actors. I still thumbs up because this is a very good message tho
I just want to appreciate his bartender friend, for giving him an extravagant water. & his beautiful girlfriend for staying by his side...Those are the types of people you need when you're battling something.
I really liked this video. I think it's really inspiration for people looking to quit drinking, and their relationship seems so supportive and wonderful. This is the Buzzfeed content I like
I'm 14 and both my parents are alcoholics. I think what you're doing is really admirable. I'm scared to drink because I'm scared to death that I will end up like my parents and that freaks me out a lot. I tried to help them get sober but they don't want to hear it. It's really hard because they're very negligent towards me and my little brother. I don't think it's at all the same thing with Cory but I'm glad he's trying. His family is very lucky.
Beth -182 it's hard to know if u will ever be an alcoholic. U should talk to somebody u trust about it and when u get older really decide if u want to try drinking or not
Beth -182 Oh, hon. That's a rough place to be. :( Your self-awareness puts you a step ahead when it comes to prevention, though. So many people get blindsided by addiction because it's just never crossed their mind. I have a vivid memory of being a kid and learning what gambling was for the first time. My first thought was "holy cow, I can *never* gamble, not even once." Wherever that brainwave came from, twenty years later I'm still grateful (and not bankrupt) for it. The fact that you're aware of the risk is a HUGE point in your favor. Take care, kiddo. Never be afraid to reach out if you need to.
I completely understand where you're coming from! I am 16 and my parents did drugs a majority of my life and my mother was an alcoholic. I always have had this fear of becoming like them. I was neglected growing up and it hurts to see them so reliant on something so short term. But now,I live with my grandparents because they both ended up getting in trouble and getting a warrant. Now 2 years later my dad is working and is sober and my mother is chairman at a rehab center. I am proud of how far they have come. I just want you to know you aren't alone and that I'm sure there are plenty of trusting people you can talk to. It will be okay just do not give up.
I just started my sobriety quest a week ago. I was looking for some inspiration, and I found it. I'm going to watch this vid every time I feel like I'm going through a rough patch. Thanks so much guys. Awesome stuff
You know, I'm normally not into "shipping" people or relationships, but I definitely ship Corey & Becky. Every time they do a Buzzfeed video, I learn something important from them (or I see something re-validated that I already knew to be true) and I see them strengthening their relationship.
Yeah, it was really wonderful to see how supportive they are of each other. She was so genuinely happy when his grades came in., and I have seen him be happy for her in that authentic way in other videos. t's really wonderful that they have each other.
That's a pessimistic view and I understand that everything isn't a happy ending, but there is no assessment of their relationship to make an assumption. I'd like to think the best that they are very open, supportive, and happy, especially when they have been together for so long. Also, the signs would be hard to miss, unless you are forcing ignorance or they live apart and don't see each other constantly. To OP, that's awesome and I hope the best for you two
I am 21 years old, ive lost 3 jobs and my apartment due to my alcohol addiction. Im a young pretty girl and people are so confused why Im an alcoholic. i cant explain why its just the only thing that makes me feel okay. I've woken up in the ER 4 times from alcohol poisoning. I just moved the things out of my apartment yesterday and I want to chug vodka right now but this video is kind of helping. Thank you guys for all ypur love and support! ive been going to an intensive out patient program. Ive gotten drunk a couple of times since but Im not drinking everyday. I still have a long way to go but all the replies to my comment made me feel okay. love you guys! makes me happy to know there are good people in the world
angijac18 It can happen to anyone! Addiction doesn't discriminate. Have faith in yourself and make sure you have a strong support system like AA. :) I wish you the best.
angijac18 Literally everything that you said, got the same problems. I've tried medication before but it didn't help and I went back to drinking. Every time I drink heavily, my hangovers get worse and worse, what will happen when we're 30 or older?
Stay strong angijac18, you can do this, just remember how proud you'll be once you beat it, crazy as it sound doing exercise helped me, maybe it'll help you.
I’m 31 and I knew I needed a change when it was difficult for me to go 7 days without! I recently did a master cleanse and today I’m 13 days sober. I’m so proud of myself and I’m encouraged to keep going. Not really putting a time limit on it but I’m listening to my body. 💯

Great Job!!! I had to not drink for a few days and realize I was having withdrawal symptoms. I am now 12 days sober. My goal is a moth and then to keep going! Keep it up!!
I’ve been trying to stop using alcohol as a coping mechanism and it’s been rough but manageable! Props to everyone going through any journey regarding drugs and alcohol 💕
Summer Raine AA is the only thing that helps me stay sober. I couldn’t do it on my own and made the best circle of friends I’ve ever had! Good luck to you! Don’t give up. 👍🏻✨💖
Your friends booing... whoaa, that's sad! Peer pressure is a major issue when it comes to quit drinking. It can be really devastating, ruining all previous efforts. Especially if you want to quit because it has become a health threat. Small tip: a friend will not boo you, he just won't care about what you're drinking. And if you choose to tell why you're doing it, he will support you.
Johana Dautancourt So true. I've never been a drinker. I'd very very occasionally have one glass of wine or something but I just don't enjoy being drunk and God, you'd think I kicked people's puppies. Back in the day people used to complain and try to push me into it because "it's not fun if everyone doesn't drink". Psh. If you need to be drunk to be fun, you're not a fun person.
On the same page here. I've been laughed at by my own family for not drinking enough during celebrations (1or 2 ciders), I've been told I'm not a real adult until I learn to drink and get drunk a few times by my own mother! I'm 23 btw. Where I live people don't binge drink as much as in the US, but it's more common in young people. Add to that my dislike for most alcoholic drinks taste, heavy discomfort at the very presence of drunk people and introversion and you get the result of me being virtually friendless, because i have basicly nothing in common with most people I'm around. But I refuse to change who I am or force myself into doing stuff that makes me uncomfortable for others sake.
I've watched a lot of soberity videos... and this is my favorite. You're transparency, vulnerability, and not just giving "Pro's and Con's of not drinking for 30 days" is super commendable. Proud of you man!
I haven't had a drink since october 2015 and I get asked A LOT about this, my friends call people that don't drink 'boring' and have done this in my presence which yeah, does hurt me when they say those things... this video hit home for me so thank you x good job Corey! I'm right here with you :)
Captain Bucky you gotta get new friends buddy. I’m right there with you, haven’t drank since 2015 and it’s had a really positive effect on other people in my life, they’re inspired to not drink and think it’s admirable/respectable/cool.
If they can’t support you then write them off. They’re boring if all they need to do is drink. This is coming from someone that drank a lot. I took 30 days off. Had some during December and now back on no drinking.
im going to be honest, i have a similar psychological addiction to marijuana and that this video gives me courage to do a 30 day sober period like your boyfriend. might even document it too! thank you sooo much!!!!
Topic Godz94 addictions come in all shapes and forms, knew a guy addicted to exercise and another addicted to video games. Usually anything that you use to cope/distract from some personal ailment can balloon into dependency.
I know it is stressful and it sucks when finals come around. But stress is the last thing you need. What you have to remember, is that you can always take the class again. Different people learn at different paces and sometimes you need to repeat a class in order for the info to stick.
Becky Harris Let him know I felt for him. I went through a very similar experience when I went back to school , and it is VERY easy to look for a crutch. Good to see he rebounded so quickly. He'll get his cap and gown soon enough like I did last month!!
Corey, this is amazing - well done! Having recently given up drinking myself, the hardest part by far is overcoming the social stigma that comes with telling the people you are out with that you are not indulging (or them realising yer nae and subsequently giving ye grief!). Have to do what's best for you and if that's a life of no (or just less) booze, then so-be (r) it! Much love to both you and Becky, yer great
I’m a little over a year sober and this makes my heart happy to see. I certainly hope that he will also reach out for a sober network. Nothing like having other on the same journey to talk to. Congratulations to both of you! So so happy to see this!
The friends booing got me so pissed off, what dickheads. Im glad he had his wife for support, they stay bettering each other's lives & that's the best thing 💕
I just liked ur comet 100 are you still sober today is my 31 day's i cant believe it's been this long i been drinking alcohol since I was 15 i will be 40 in 6 month's i started off with Jack until I was 24 seen a doctor did blood work he said my liver was shot so i stoped 3 months that is the longest i ever went without drinking took another blood work everything was ok so u no what i did started drinking Old English 800 2 40s a night or every other night until now 20 plus years later Dec. 11 was my last drink just decided to pray and ask the lord to take this from me i want to get sober Dec 16 i had mis beat in my heart its called A Fib i think i had it cause I wasn't drinking trying to quit cold turkey so my heart wouldn't beat normal so i called 911 they told me i needed to be put under and shock my Heart i was like What u going to do i didn't want to but they all stormed in injected some feel good juice in me then I was out i didn't think it happened the procedure my heart was beating smoothly i felt good like a fresh tune up lol it was a wake up i notice a big difference in me my face isn't swollen i don't sweat as much and my gut shrunk down and weight still Dropping tell you the truth i felt like drinking tonight but i Google this video and seen the comets so i hope that anyone struggling with this sickness ur not alone right there it's hard as heck but we can do it
Sober means not drinnking alcohol. If you're drinking alcohol then you're not sober and therefore not clean. It just means you'e not using your drug of choice and that's awesome too.
Lol i'm aware but if I drink once every few months I don't see it as an issue I know how addiction works and how the community is but I'm clean from my drug of choice and any drug for that matter I don't even smoke weed so if I have a bottle of wine with my friends or family every now and then I consider myself sober IDC what people in the community think of it tbh. I obviously wouldn't if I liked it that much.
I was just saying this to my aunt and husband. If everyone i ever knew never drank or did drugs. Life would have been lacking so many headaches and disappointments.
All this time I thought he actually worked at Buzz feed but I think it's cool they do these vulnerable life change type videos especially with those bad reactions
I'm very proud of your boyfriend for doing this challenge, Becky. My boyfriend and I hardly ever, or never drink, so I can't imagine how challenging this must have been for him
I’ve been struggling trying to stop drinking especially because I like going out with friends. But my anxiety is so bad that I never just have one drink now. Sick of feeling sad and hungover so let’s hope this sticks. Good luck to everyone going sober and to the ones that continue to do it.
I never really realized until now, that I stopped drinking about a year ago. I do still drink once and a while, where as I used to drink regularly every day, about 3-4 drinks a day. I quit due to low funds because I went back to school, so I never really paid any attention to it; but I noticed the same things throughout the year. Things just became simpler, I understood thinks easier, I stopped stressing out about things and thinking things through for myself just became easier and clearer. I've had little other lifestyle changes in the meantime, yet I feel like a completely different person now than I was a year ago. It's interesting to see someone else's documented experience through this and thinking back to myself.
I really hope he keeps working on this. It's heartbreaking to see someone *needing* alcohol. He did fail the test but he needs to realize that turning his phone off to block out his girlfriend because he wanted to drink is a clear example that he's addicted. From a household of one parent being an alcoholic, I think it's amazing he's confronting this and going through this journey. Applause to you and I hope for your success.
Sometimes, you study really hard but just don't understand the material well enough, or you think you do but the test just doesn't go well for some reason. We don't know the circumstances so let's not judge too harshly.
Why? It's just a test. The worst that can happen is that now he has to retake a class. And I am speaking from experience when I say that it is MUCH better to fail and retake a class than it is to pass with a low C and move on to an even harder course. Otherwise, you're going to struggle in the next class and you're back to square one again.There is absolutely NO SHAME in taking a little longer to understand the material.
@@chasebanz9180 Day three for me , still have beer in the fridge , just dont wanna pop it but trying to keep my mind off it i managed to quit for 2 years 6 years ago but my relapse creeped up and it began to be a every weekend thing again and then almost every day ,,
Well done and very admirable! I don't know weather he was addicted or not, but quitting something that is a big part of your life is always difficult. I quit weed about 4 months ago after being addicted for a long time, and I'm so happy and proud of myself. Pulling through with stuff like this really boosts your confidence and I hope it has for him too!
You've really motivated me and made me understand why my anxiety has gotten worse I'm actually going to start my detox tonight And push myself to not drink for as long as I can I'm trying the 30 day challenge I know it will be hard but I'm going to do it ! Thankyou so much for this video you've saved me .
There aren't very many comments commending him so I thought I'd just say I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. I know that this can be a very big and difficult step whether you have an alcohol "problem" or not so CONGRATULATIONS
3:15 the absolute worst feeling, man. You expect your best friends to be supportive & be good with your decisions, but then some of them do this crap. It makes it so much more difficult.
I have a membership to a 24/7 fellowship that gives me the ability to live “happy, joyous, and free”, no matter what. Taking care of myself physically is an important aspect of my sobriety, but my spiritual development has to come first. Alcohol is NOT the root problem. Best wishes to you.
So proud! Quitting as a twentysomething can be *brutal,* even without broadcasting it the world. Thank you for sharing this with us. A less-obvious perk of being open about it: the next person in your social circle to get sober might have an easier time. The guys who were giving you crap might think twice before making a joke of it. Sharing our stories fosters a more supportive environment for the next guy.
WOO I'M SO PROUD OF YOU DUDE!! When I saw you'd gone for a run instead of getting a beer I literally threw my arms up and cheered. Here's to you, to your determination, and to achieving your dreams!!
I love you guys :') I can relate to Corey's situation, I have chronic pain & it induces a shitload of stress which makes one prone to poor cognitive & physical performance at times, & ultimately, unhealthy coping mechanisms. However, finding alternative ways to calm your stress & manage your physical pain can be absolutely life changing. For me, it's things like doodling, playing guitar, massages, writing and being around animals & good company. Anyway, thank you so much for making this video, I wish you both the best of luck & a whole lot of happiness & serenity! Lots of love, from Egypt.
My boyfriend is 30 days sober today after drinking 20 beers a day for years and years. While detoxing he ended up in the hospital for DT and then in jail due to hallucinations from the DTs. It is currently like getting to know a different person, we've been together for six years. I've never related to a video more than this one. Congrats you guys
MAD FUCKIN RESPX BRO... IM GOING THRU A HARD TIME IN LIFE RIGHT NOW, IVE BEEN SOBER 2 WEEKS AND FEEL LIKE GIVING IN..... UNTIL I JUST RANDOMLY SAW THIS VIDEO. I THANK YOU MAN. I HOPE I CAN STAY SOBER FOR MY REST OF MY LIFE ON EARTH. ID RATHER BE SOBER AND CLEAR MINDED WHEN I LEAVE... AGAIN THANKS!!!
Louis Ruiz jr Hey my man! Take it easy on yourself. We have a predisposition to liking that buzz. But we get to admit that and work together. We aren't alone. We aren't disabled. There is recovery!
I know this video is a year old but I can relate on EVERY LEVEL. I'm 3 weeks into sobriety and I'm experiencing everything you guys talked about. Clearer skin. Clarity of thought. Waking refreshed every morning instead of like a zombie. No more random headaches. I'm so much more willing to put myself out there and smile; confidence boost. And the best part I think, is being able to actually believe that my long term goals are going to happen. No doubts about it. Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm not alone!
I'm in the same boat. I just really love beer. Not in a "I need it" kind of way. I'm not drinking for a month (13 days in currently), but once that month is up, I'd like to cut back to just casual drinking on weekends.
TR0290 In all sincerity, were you ever a “casual” drinker? (I became a daily drinker at 17.) The progression into alcoholism is not the same for everyone. I wish you all the best!
@@markg.4246 In all honesty, I was a weekends only drinker. I'm really into fitness, so I monitored myself pretty well. The holidays caused me to go on a 2 month binge, hence the break followed by a cut back. I appreciate the kind words, brother. We got this.
Wowww watching this video is so inspiring. I've had a substance abuse problem for the past 5 months... just like him I was using alcohol & weed to "help" with anxiety. But in reality it was only making it worse & I became extremely dependent on it. So I made the decision to be sober for the next 3 months. Today is day 8... even though I have days where I'm irritable & have hot flashes I guess because of "withdrawal" for the most part I'm feeling a lot better. I feel more clear headed & free. I don't feel like something's controlling me anymore.
I'm in a college that has a pretty huge party scene and I've never had a drink in my life. Sometimes the pressure can get a bit much, but I love the way I am sober, I have so much fun, I love to go out, to dance, and have a great time, and I love that I'm able to be my own happy content self without drinking
Four months sober. A full stone lighter and my sleep patterns have become enjoyable again. Feel good and cravings have just about stopped . Life is different...I like it. Stay safe everyone. 👍
I can relate to this guy on every single level. Today is Day 2 of my sobriety :). I’m so over drinking to numb myself. I can PHYSICALLY feel how alcohol negatively affects my body.
I absolutely despise Buzzfeed however very grateful for this video. I've recently quit drinking, still going through a lot of withdrawals but I am focused on feeling amazing from sobriety.
This whole video feels disingenuous though, as he just quit cold turkey and had no withdrawal symptoms at all.. meaning he could hardly be drinking much anyway.
How long does withdrawals last for alcohol..& yes I'm being serious. That's the part I think is the hardest, plus no one wants to feel like crap when your mind is saying drink just 1 beer/drink and it'll be okay
@@stephaniehayden7018 Same here. When I get up in the morning and the shakes kick in, it's far too easy at the moment to just have a couple to take that away. Speaking to my GP later on today to hopefully get a course of librium. Supposed to be excellent at taking both the symptoms and the cravings away. But as it stands now, I'm still drinking, not to get drunk, but to keep the withdrawals at bay.
So much respect to you, its the hardest thing I've ever done is stopped drinking, over 9 months on and I'm still sober. As for the "friends" booing him for not drinking, that still amazes me how many people really aren't friends, but you only notice at times like this
Him having that bad of a day and choosing to run instead of drinking is something that should be applauded.
I cried happy tears for him.
I also really appreciate that they included his feelings of anger and failure and shame. I could palpably *feel* how upset he was, and it really helped me understand his craving for alcohol. He did an incredibly difficult thing when he chose not to drink that night and do something healthy instead, and I am really proud of him.
OctoberLeong I
IDK WHY I CRIED LMAO I guess it brings back memories ...
in my country alcohol is not permitted to drink. so we got not problems XD
i can relate to that on such a personal level its honestly one of the hardest things you can overcome while getting sober but once you reach that place its a feeling you cant describe
His "friends" that booed him sound like people he doesn't need in his life.
Preach. That honestly was so disappointing
Yeah. I went on a three-month alcohol strike last year and a few people thought I was pregnant and trying to hide it from them. They couldn't believe I was doing it because I wanted to improve my drinking habits.
My friends did that too when I stopped drinking for a short while (deffing for boxing tornament) and it's nothing to be pissed about, really. It's just a sarcastic, funny thing to rub it in your face.
Alcohol in moderation is fun and healthy even. Not for the body, maybe, but it makes you feel good and it's a key to many social constructs in friendship.
Having a few beers twice a month with friends makes a whole lot of difference. And if you were to stay home and eat chips instead, you'd damage your body as well.
Moderation is key, and because of that, I don't really think you should quit doing anything you enjoy as long as it's not making big changes in your health.

I’m 15 days sober after drinking heavy for the last 5 years...it might not seem like long time to people...but it feels so good to me...I don’t ever wanna drink again in my life
Awesome man! I'm also around the two week mark and I feel like my energy is on CLOUD 9 lol
Hey, how's your journey going?
Good job man! Stay strong
I hear day 15 is the benchmark to strive for!!
@@benimcanm351 I relapsed at 2 months and began drinking heavily again but I am now 5 and a half months sober I haven’t had a drink since New Years Day
No one will probably read this, but I'll be 11 months sober by next weekend.
edit: i should probably add an update. i did end up being sober for almost 5 years before relapsing due to some awful things happening in my life. but i'm trying to get back on track and im 4 months sober now.
proud of you!
Yay!!!!👍👌
Keita Moose keep killing it
Congrats!!!! that's awesome! :)
Keita Moose please keep it up. I may not know you put please believe that I am truely proud of you😉
He is not even my boyfriend, and yet I am so proud of him! It's so cute how Becky supports him through this and how he supports her through her hair condition. That's love ❤️
Erika Rodriguez her hair condition? isn't she the one that has the vaginal pain condition ?
Erika Rodriguez oh I see now
No no no that is another one of the ladies at buzzfeed, although I forget her name. :) Becky made a video abut her hair condition at buzzfeed a while back. Her hair condition is called Alopecia which is very painful and causes her to be bald, that is why she wears wigs.
na it's the same girl... Same girl and same boyfriend.
I watched this video before I quit booze and now it's been 8 months. Just came back to see it again and say hello 🤘
Bruno Tolosa did you gain weight wat improvements did you notice after bout 30 days?
@@truckersmitty I was 103kg and now I am 87kg. I eat better, running, working out and saved loads of money :))) I couldnt sell it better to be honest
That’s good bro
ITS ALL TRUE LOOK AND FEEL BETTER
Bruno Tolosa life’s better without it
This is, by far, the best, I repeat, THE BEST video BuzzFeed has ever produced. I am not someone who drinks a lot at all, but Corey was the man in this video and I am so happy for him and Becky. This just made me think and just made me feel good. Congratulations. Keep going!
that's the problem with quitting alcohol...the culture surrounding it
I don't drink, and I never have. I'm in my 30s now, and my (lack of) drinking habits have been questioned since I was a young teenager. It's such a private thing, and many have painful reasons for not drinking, be it addiction, family history or medical conditions. No one ever asks me why I don't drink coffee, but alcohol is practically mandatory in our society.
Remember that Jesus blessed the wine ; ))
Sometimes taking care of your health means that you must swim against the cultural tide
I am 3 days sober today ☺
Still sober?
@@keeppushing91 Nope unfortunately, but I could stop heavy drinking at least.😉
@@mohammadranjbar4836 ready to try again?
@@AxynoS I'm already 14 days sober which is my biggest record lol
I’m 14 days clean from any drug, stopped for my girlfriend, I used to do any drug I can get my hands on, I’m only 17, and I have been using drugs since I was 13, now I look at the pictures of me being fucked out my face on anphet, coke, Mandy, ket, I look like I was dying, I almost overdosed in my friends house, I did speed, ket, coke, LSD, and was smoking bongs, my mate brought 2 grams of Mandy, I railed about .5 and after 2 minutes I fell to the floor and threw up, my body was freezing, but I was sweating, I dropped and started having a bad trip, I threw up blood twice, and then passed out, I woke up 15 hours later, and had a depressive state for about a month, but I carried on using pills to be happy, using about 5/6 a week. I am so happy
I’m starting to be clean, and I won’t stop, I’m so determined
3.5 years of zero alcohol. I feel like I am 21 at the age of 36. Alcohol is a waste of life
True, alcohol is so overused
So true man, alcohol ruins your sensitivity to the world and your energy levels in general. Also a huge catalyst for winter depressions, relationship failures etc.
@@XpRnz it depends on the effect
@J R but be limited
@Cam Robertson what is the point then ?
It made me mad when his friends booed him. So much for being supportive... -_-
They're not friends, they're the boys never dog the boys. YTB
Mr. A It was in a playful manner guys bust each others chops in different ways. Dont think so deeply lol
These are toxic masculinity norms (where men generally "bust each other's chops" instead of emotionally supporting each other, and have to drink to talk about deeper feelings/love/appreciation with their male friends etc). It is supposed to be "funny", and the guy who doesn't just take the abuse with a smile is often diminished for that. (TW SUICIDE, MURDER) And throwing the abusive "funny" comments at them is not the same as being supportive: it is harmful, limiting male friendships, and is believed to be part of the reason more men than women kill themselves. In this society, called a patriarchy, they're supposed to be "manly", "strong", not showing emotions, and other ridiculous toxic norms, which gravely affects their mental health.
There is a lot of research on this, so I am not just making it up. This is the sad truth in our society. Many men wish it was different, because there is so much they can't talk to their male friends about, so many emotions they can't express because of these toxic norms.
Ridiculous people like you are defending these toxic norms, and you probably don't even understand you're doing it. Just look at your own comment supporting the facts I mentioned: "It was in a *playful* manner *guys bust each others chops* in different ways. *Dont think so deeply* lol".
We all have to work against harmful norms, to stop sexualising and objectifying women, stop forcing men into the limiting box called "manly", stop seeing HBTQIA+ as less worth, stop the rising murders of trans people etc etc. And what we all can do is say no to our friends making racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist comments and "jokes".
Same here, I hate those toxic masculinity norms making men treat each other like this.
Lisa Persson - PREACH lol.
I find it shocking how other people have reacted to me stopping drinking. People have serious issues with alcohol. It’s really pushing me to carry on. I love not drinking. It’s an issue
Its common for people to have a negative reaction to you when you tell them you are not drinking. Its the "angry jack" response. It implies you know something they dont, or you are trying to be better amd improve, implying they are lesser and are doing something wrong. So instantly they become defensive on the inside, feeling like their choice to drink is being judged. Of course 99/100 times the choice to not drink is personal and has nothing to do with them as a individual, its a natural psychological response.
You’ll end up losing friends because of it..sadly.
Yeah it’s almost like ppl get offended when u aren’t drinking. Hate to say, I’ve been guilty of that reaction too.
Mellissa Conway Were they really friends?
Good for you Ms. Nailtheday! Only one face you see in the mirror-tho as a man w/ great family, friends since grammar school, colleagues-none of their behaviors or reactions to mine mean a damn thing 😁
You grabbed this life-changing challenge by the horns and you stuck with it, even through the hardest of times. This is a great beginning on your best version of yourself. You are doing so well, and we are so many people across the world supporting you.
Today is my 94th day alcohol free.
John Allport congrats!!!
Great JOB!! Keep strong. Namaste my friend
John Allport that is so awesome!! keep it up! :)
John Allport congrats!
Congrats! I'm sure it wasn't easy :)
2 months 1 week sober today. I'm having a tough day and decided to come watch this again. So encouraging! Thank you. I needed this.
Kristina Clark how’s it going?
Shows who your real friends are.

that grammar

Sebastian P. It's not grammar is literacy you fucken idiot you know the difference?
Alcoholism is no joke. His friends are dicks. And, probably alcoholics themselves.
They are such a great couple! I love how she's by his side and supporting him throughout his sobriety. Well done and wishing you all the best
I’m one month sober from alcohol today! I lost 10lbs, I’m much happier and my mind is clearer. I also been eating good and working out. This is the longest Im gone without alcohol in 3 years!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You are awsome, I am following your example
Awesome
Great job, I’m about to hit that 30 day mark and I’m excited
I have 7 years sober since May 28 2010. It is hard but totally worth it!
So proud of you, i'm 2 years sober, cant wait to be able to say i'm 7 years like you! x
Nativemoon I'm so proud of you!!! YAYYY good job!!😁💗💗💗
I'm 1 hour sober
Boooooo
Nativemoon Good for you!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 You don't know me but I'm proud of you ☺☺☺
Great video. I find it hard to believe 800 plus people feel the need to give this a thumbs down. Im currently on day 14 of being alcohol free. Usually im drunk at least every night. This has inspired me to continue my quest and stick a bird up to the hatter's. Not drinking alcohol is the new cool!!! 👊
hows that going bro ?
I’m on day 7! The longest I’ve been sober since I started drinking was 26 days. Hoping to make it 90 days
I mean I kinda get it. I can't put my finger on it but something feels inauthentic. Like a short film and they are actors. I still thumbs up because this is a very good message tho
❤👏
So, you posted this a year ago. I am currently on day 14. How are you doing now?
I just want to appreciate his bartender friend, for giving him an extravagant water. & his beautiful girlfriend for staying by his side...Those are the types of people you need when you're battling something.
I really liked this video. I think it's really inspiration for people looking to quit drinking, and their relationship seems so supportive and wonderful. This is the Buzzfeed content I like
+Becky Harris How is he doing now???
Delight Hailman i
I'm 14 and both my parents are alcoholics. I think what you're doing is really admirable. I'm scared to drink because I'm scared to death that I will end up like my parents and that freaks me out a lot. I tried to help them get sober but they don't want to hear it. It's really hard because they're very negligent towards me and my little brother. I don't think it's at all the same thing with Cory but I'm glad he's trying. His family is very lucky.
Beth -182 it's hard to know if u will ever be an alcoholic. U should talk to somebody u trust about it and when u get older really decide if u want to try drinking or not
Beth -182 Oh, hon. That's a rough place to be. :(
Your self-awareness puts you a step ahead when it comes to prevention, though. So many people get blindsided by addiction because it's just never crossed their mind.
I have a vivid memory of being a kid and learning what gambling was for the first time. My first thought was "holy cow, I can *never* gamble, not even once." Wherever that brainwave came from, twenty years later I'm still grateful (and not bankrupt) for it. The fact that you're aware of the risk is a HUGE point in your favor.
Take care, kiddo. Never be afraid to reach out if you need to.
Ainhoa Thanks
Akayla queeley-brown Thanks for that :)
I completely understand where you're coming from! I am 16 and my parents did drugs a majority of my life and my mother was an alcoholic. I always have had this fear of becoming like them. I was neglected growing up and it hurts to see them so reliant on something so short term. But now,I live with my grandparents because they both ended up getting in trouble and getting a warrant. Now 2 years later my dad is working and is sober and my mother is chairman at a rehab center. I am proud of how far they have come. I just want you to know you aren't alone and that I'm sure there are plenty of trusting people you can talk to. It will be okay just do not give up.
I just started my sobriety quest a week ago. I was looking for some inspiration, and I found it. I'm going to watch this vid every time I feel like I'm going through a rough patch. Thanks so much guys. Awesome stuff
You know, I'm normally not into "shipping" people or relationships, but I definitely ship Corey & Becky. Every time they do a Buzzfeed video, I learn something important from them (or I see something re-validated that I already knew to be true) and I see them strengthening their relationship.
They already have the best ship name too: Cocky. ;3
Yeah, it was really wonderful to see how supportive they are of each other. She was so genuinely happy when his grades came in., and I have seen him be happy for her in that authentic way in other videos. t's really wonderful that they have each other.
My boyfriend has 11 years sober! I'm so proud of him
callieforniamusic unless hes good at hiding things.
That's a pessimistic view and I understand that everything isn't a happy ending, but there is no assessment of their relationship to make an assumption. I'd like to think the best that they are very open, supportive, and happy, especially when they have been together for so long.
Also, the signs would be hard to miss, unless you are forcing ignorance or they live apart and don't see each other constantly.
To OP, that's awesome and I hope the best for you two
KawaiiContinuum thank you so much!
You should be! Good for him I think it's amazing to be healthy and challenge yourself to stop habits that society or friends drop on you.

The Dude pretty slick man
I am 21 years old, ive lost 3 jobs and my apartment due to my alcohol addiction. Im a young pretty girl and people are so confused why Im an alcoholic. i cant explain why its just the only thing that makes me feel okay. I've woken up in the ER 4 times from alcohol poisoning. I just moved the things out of my apartment yesterday and I want to chug vodka right now but this video is kind of helping.
Thank you guys for all ypur love and support! ive been going to an intensive out patient program. Ive gotten drunk a couple of times since but Im not drinking everyday. I still have a long way to go but all the replies to my comment made me feel okay. love you guys! makes me happy to know there are good people in the world
angijac18 It can happen to anyone! Addiction doesn't discriminate. Have faith in yourself and make sure you have a strong support system like AA. :) I wish you the best.
angijac18 Literally everything that you said, got the same problems. I've tried medication before but it didn't help and I went back to drinking. Every time I drink heavily, my hangovers get worse and worse, what will happen when we're 30 or older?
Stay strong angijac18, you can do this, just remember how proud you'll be once you beat it, crazy as it sound doing exercise helped me, maybe it'll help you.
Consider CBD oil.
I'm so sorry💙💙💙 i wish i could be there for you each time you want to reach for a bottle or vodka. Stay strong!!!! you can do this.
I’m 31 and I knew I needed a change when it was difficult for me to go 7 days without! I recently did a master cleanse and today I’m 13 days sober. I’m so proud of myself and I’m encouraged to keep going. Not really putting a time limit on it but I’m listening to my body. 💯
Great Job!!! I had to not drink for a few days and realize I was having withdrawal symptoms. I am now 12 days sober. My goal is a moth and then to keep going! Keep it up!!
I want to do this I'm gonna be 31 in 20 days
When she said he went for a run I started crying...idk why, I'm just happy
I’ve been trying to stop using alcohol as a coping mechanism and it’s been rough but manageable! Props to everyone going through any journey regarding drugs and alcohol 💕
Summer Raine me too, above 20 to 24 hours sober now
Summer Raine AA is the only thing that helps me stay sober. I couldn’t do it on my own and made the best circle of friends I’ve ever had! Good luck to you! Don’t give up. 👍🏻✨💖
Pray its working for me.I dont crave drugs,alcohol or cigarettes anymore.Try it!
I will be sober 33 years in September of 2020. Haven't regretted it yet.
Are you 33 years old?
You are amazing.
Must be an amazing feeling !
Keep coming back it works if you work it!
Well made and inspiring. Voting this for best Buzzfeed vid of this year. Becky knocked it 'outta the park for sure on this one.
Your friends booing... whoaa, that's sad! Peer pressure is a major issue when it comes to quit drinking. It can be really devastating, ruining all previous efforts.
Especially if you want to quit because it has become a health threat.
Small tip: a friend will not boo you, he just won't care about what you're drinking. And if you choose to tell why you're doing it, he will support you.
Johana Dautancourt So true. I've never been a drinker. I'd very very occasionally have one glass of wine or something but I just don't enjoy being drunk and God, you'd think I kicked people's puppies. Back in the day people used to complain and try to push me into it because "it's not fun if everyone doesn't drink". Psh. If you need to be drunk to be fun, you're not a fun person.
On the same page here. I've been laughed at by my own family for not drinking enough during celebrations (1or 2 ciders), I've been told I'm not a real adult until I learn to drink and get drunk a few times by my own mother! I'm 23 btw. Where I live people don't binge drink as much as in the US, but it's more common in young people. Add to that my dislike for most alcoholic drinks taste, heavy discomfort at the very presence of drunk people and introversion and you get the result of me being virtually friendless, because i have basicly nothing in common with most people I'm around. But I refuse to change who I am or force myself into doing stuff that makes me uncomfortable for others sake.
if your frnds push you then you nedd better frnds
Them booing made me a bit mad. So much for being supportive huh?
Nicole Svrčinová I feel the same way! I don't know how I'm going to go out with friends when I'm older if all they want to do is get wasted
I've watched a lot of soberity videos... and this is my favorite. You're transparency, vulnerability, and not just giving "Pro's and Con's of not drinking for 30 days" is super commendable. Proud of you man!
The last clip of you guys dancing is adorable, you guys are awesome and I'm proud of him for not drinking for 30 days!
This video is great for its message....but I'm just always happy to see a new video with you two still together cause your my fav buzz feed couple :)

how is it sad? theyre just joshing him a bit.
JRS same kind of thing happened when I stopped smoking cigarettes.
I haven't had a drink since october 2015 and I get asked A LOT about this, my friends call people that don't drink 'boring' and have done this in my presence which yeah, does hurt me when they say those things... this video hit home for me so thank you x good job Corey! I'm right here with you :)
Captain Bucky you gotta get new friends buddy. I’m right there with you, haven’t drank since 2015 and it’s had a really positive effect on other people in my life, they’re inspired to not drink and think it’s admirable/respectable/cool.
I drink and your friends are dicks. Time for new friends.
Dude, if your "friends" do this guess what they aren't your friends...
If they can’t support you then write them off. They’re boring if all they need to do is drink. This is coming from someone that drank a lot. I took 30 days off. Had some during December and now back on no drinking.
@@pepewujek4072 I'm sober for 3 weeks and my body changed
im going to be honest, i have a similar psychological addiction to marijuana and that this video gives me courage to do a 30 day sober period like your boyfriend. might even document it too! thank you sooo much!!!!

You lost your car license from seizures from heavy drinking
Your Dad 2 months for me today, started bodybuilding and clean eating, fee fantastic!
I know it is stressful and it sucks when finals come around. But stress is the last thing you need. What you have to remember, is that you can always take the class again. Different people learn at different paces and sometimes you need to repeat a class in order for the info to stick.
Becky Harris Let him know I felt for him. I went through a very similar experience when I went back to school , and it is VERY easy to look for a crutch. Good to see he rebounded so quickly. He'll get his cap and gown soon enough like I did last month!!
you drank 1-2 beers a day that's nothing and hardly even close to being a "problem"
how is 1-2 beers a bad habit
batboy It becomes a problem when you look to alcohol or any substance in any amount, as a solution. Problems cannot be solved that way
batboy if you are a person with an alcoholic body - it is a problem. For other people, it isn't
Corey, this is amazing - well done! Having recently given up drinking myself, the hardest part by far is overcoming the social stigma that comes with telling the people you are out with that you are not indulging (or them realising yer nae and subsequently giving ye grief!). Have to do what's best for you and if that's a life of no (or just less) booze, then so-be (r) it! Much love to both you and Becky, yer great
I’m a little over a year sober and this makes my heart happy to see. I certainly hope that he will also reach out for a sober network. Nothing like having other on the same journey to talk to. Congratulations to both of you! So so happy to see this!
The friends booing got me so pissed off, what dickheads. Im glad he had his wife for support, they stay bettering each other's lives & that's the best thing 💕

A few days ago I became a year sober. Not from alcohol but addiction is addiction.
Three years drug free! 2 months 1 week alcohol free! ❤❤❤ Is not easy, but worth it. It feels amazing to be sober.
Sober means not drinnking alcohol. If you're drinking alcohol then you're not sober and therefore not clean. It just means you'e not using your drug of choice and that's awesome too.
Lol i'm aware but if I drink once every few months I don't see it as an issue I know how addiction works and how the community is but I'm clean from my drug of choice and any drug for that matter I don't even smoke weed so if I have a bottle of wine with my friends or family every now and then I consider myself sober IDC what people in the community think of it tbh. I obviously wouldn't if I liked it that much.
You still sober?
This was so real. We love you Cory and Becky.
It’s quite depressing thinking of what you could of had if you never drinked ever
Kyle Campbell drank* 🤦🏽♀️
It makes me want to drink
the money I've spent in bars over 45yrs!😫😫😫.....
I was just saying this to my aunt and husband. If everyone i ever knew never drank or did drugs. Life would have been lacking so many headaches and disappointments.
It should make you excited about what you will gain when you stop. You can't change the past but you can change the future.
All this time I thought he actually worked at Buzz feed
but I think it's cool they do these vulnerable life change type videos especially with those bad reactions
I'm very proud of your boyfriend for doing this challenge, Becky. My boyfriend and I hardly ever, or never drink, so I can't imagine how challenging this must have been for him
I’ve been struggling trying to stop drinking especially because I like going out with friends. But my anxiety is so bad that I never just have one drink now. Sick of feeling sad and hungover so let’s hope this sticks. Good luck to everyone going sober and to the ones that continue to do it.
I never really realized until now, that I stopped drinking about a year ago. I do still drink once and a while, where as I used to drink regularly every day, about 3-4 drinks a day. I quit due to low funds because I went back to school, so I never really paid any attention to it; but I noticed the same things throughout the year. Things just became simpler, I understood thinks easier, I stopped stressing out about things and thinking things through for myself just became easier and clearer. I've had little other lifestyle changes in the meantime, yet I feel like a completely different person now than I was a year ago. It's interesting to see someone else's documented experience through this and thinking back to myself.
I really hope he keeps working on this. It's heartbreaking to see someone *needing* alcohol. He did fail the test but he needs to realize that turning his phone off to block out his girlfriend because he wanted to drink is a clear example that he's addicted. From a household of one parent being an alcoholic, I think it's amazing he's confronting this and going through this journey. Applause to you and I hope for your success.

I teared up when he was talking about how he failed the test :(
Chocolate Daddy i felt so sad for him. These tests matter so much more when you go back to school
He should have studied harder.
Sometimes, you study really hard but just don't understand the material well enough, or you think you do but the test just doesn't go well for some reason. We don't know the circumstances so let's not judge too harshly.
Why? It's just a test. The worst that can happen is that now he has to retake a class. And I am speaking from experience when I say that it is MUCH better to fail and retake a class than it is to pass with a low C and move on to an even harder course. Otherwise, you're going to struggle in the next class and you're back to square one again.There is absolutely NO SHAME in taking a little longer to understand the material.
lol, same profile pict.
This has inspired me to give up drinking for a while too. Thank you.

Jaco Van Heerden you got this man I don’t even think about it anymore! I started working out school work instead of thinking about drinking !
Well done and very admirable! I don't know weather he was addicted or not, but quitting something that is a big part of your life is always difficult.

junk food companies would go out of business. we have obligations mayne.
I Am Your Sandwich do you have any ham?

it's sad those 'friends' were so unsupportive!
I have a membership to a 24/7 gym with a sauna, that’s my coping mechanism in hard days/moments.
That's a great thing to do, workout and sauna! Every day that you take care of your body like that is is a great day.
I have a membership to a 24/7 fellowship that gives me the ability to live “happy, joyous, and free”, no matter what. Taking care of myself physically is an important aspect of my sobriety, but my spiritual development has to come first. Alcohol is NOT the root problem. Best wishes to you.
So proud! Quitting as a twentysomething can be *brutal,* even without broadcasting it the world. Thank you for sharing this with us.
A less-obvious perk of being open about it: the next person in your social circle to get sober might have an easier time. The guys who were giving you crap might think twice before making a joke of it. Sharing our stories fosters a more supportive environment for the next guy.
The best video I have seen in a long time. It's not easy to give up on an addiction, so kudos to you!! You look great!
I’m almost at 3 years sober. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Good for you bro🌹
the way she looked at him all throughout the video and how proud she was, is adorable!
The end is so heartwarming to see how happy he is with the changes
I’m Five days sober today. I’ve been intoxicated consistently for the past 15 years! Thank you for the inspiration.
WOO I'M SO PROUD OF YOU DUDE!! When I saw you'd gone for a run instead of getting a beer I literally threw my arms up and cheered. Here's to you, to your determination, and to achieving your dreams!!
I love you guys :') I can relate to Corey's situation, I have chronic pain & it induces a shitload of stress which makes one prone to poor cognitive & physical performance at times, & ultimately, unhealthy coping mechanisms. However, finding alternative ways to calm your stress & manage your physical pain can be absolutely life changing. For me, it's things like doodling, playing guitar, massages, writing and being around animals & good company.
Anyway, thank you so much for making this video, I wish you both the best of luck & a whole lot of happiness & serenity! Lots of love, from Egypt.
Shane from Adelaide, Australia here. Great video - thank you for sharing this. Loved it!
I love these two!!! They're so supportive of each other 💙💙💙
I'm so happy for him 😊 I was actually tearing up when he said he went for a run instead of drinking
My boyfriend is 30 days sober today after drinking 20 beers a day for years and years. While detoxing he ended up in the hospital for DT and then in jail due to hallucinations from the DTs. It is currently like getting to know a different person, we've been together for six years. I've never related to a video more than this one. Congrats you guys
How's it going?
@@1ltmcpherson595 one year sober this week 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The title should be: "Not crackin a cold one with the boys for 30 days"

Louis Ruiz jr Hey my man! Take it easy on yourself. We have a predisposition to liking that buzz. But we get to admit that and work together. We aren't alone. We aren't disabled. There is recovery!
If you do read this. I hope you’re still going strong and are still sober. Merry Christmas 🙂
I hope you're still strong! I believe in you!
Louis Ruiz jr helped me too!
One day at a time brother
I know this video is a year old but I can relate on EVERY LEVEL. I'm 3 weeks into sobriety and I'm experiencing everything you guys talked about. Clearer skin. Clarity of thought. Waking refreshed every morning instead of like a zombie. No more random headaches. I'm so much more willing to put myself out there and smile; confidence boost. And the best part I think, is being able to actually believe that my long term goals are going to happen. No doubts about it. Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm not alone!
Loved this video and how honest Corey was. Good job! you did amaizing and stayed strong. And congrats on your grades!
I want this type of relationship
22 days sober. My body feels great, but I still really want a drink.
That should tell you something! You’re physically sober, but not emotionally. Alcohol is not the root problem. Best wishes to you.
I'm in the same boat. I just really love beer. Not in a "I need it" kind of way. I'm not drinking for a month (13 days in currently), but once that month is up, I'd like to cut back to just casual drinking on weekends.
TR0290 In all sincerity, were you ever a “casual” drinker? (I became a daily drinker at 17.) The progression into alcoholism is not the same for everyone. I wish you all the best!
@@markg.4246 In all honesty, I was a weekends only drinker. I'm really into fitness, so I monitored myself pretty well. The holidays caused me to go on a 2 month binge, hence the break followed by a cut back. I appreciate the kind words, brother. We got this.
TR0290 Forgive me for asking, but how were the Holidays different this year. I’m trying to learn something.
Wowww watching this video is so inspiring. I've had a substance abuse problem for the past 5 months... just like him I was using alcohol & weed to "help" with anxiety. But in reality it was only making it worse & I became extremely dependent on it. So I made the decision to be sober for the next 3 months. Today is day 8... even though I have days where I'm irritable & have hot flashes I guess because of "withdrawal" for the most part I'm feeling a lot better. I feel more clear headed & free. I don't feel like something's controlling me anymore.
hows that been going ?
He looks like the husband/dad from 'This is Us'. (Milo Ventimiglia)
I've been getting that lately and I'LL TAKE IT!
Corey Flaspoehler I'm sort of reminded of Rob McElhenney.
Lilly Marino OMG he totally does!
literally came here to comment that
I drop from 163 to about 156 in one month without alc.
I was looking for this kind of comment. Inspiration for sure. Congrats!
The weight loss doesn't surprise me. Alcohol has a lot of calories in it. If you're a regular drinker you're also taking in a lot of extra calories.
I'm in a college that has a pretty huge party scene and I've never had a drink in my life. Sometimes the pressure can get a bit much, but I love the way I am sober, I have so much fun, I love to go out, to dance, and have a great time, and I love that I'm able to be my own happy content self without drinking
21 days sober, i feel amazing....
Four months sober. A full stone lighter and my sleep patterns have become enjoyable again. Feel good and cravings have just about stopped . Life is different...I like it. Stay safe everyone. 👍
I can relate to this guy on every single level. Today is Day 2 of my sobriety :). I’m so over drinking to numb myself. I can PHYSICALLY feel how alcohol negatively affects my body.
I absolutely despise Buzzfeed however very grateful for this video. I've recently quit drinking, still going through a lot of withdrawals but I am focused on feeling amazing from sobriety.
This whole video feels disingenuous though, as he just quit cold turkey and had no withdrawal symptoms at all.. meaning he could hardly be drinking much anyway.
How long does withdrawals last for alcohol..& yes I'm being serious. That's the part I think is the hardest, plus no one wants to feel like crap when your mind is saying drink just 1 beer/drink and it'll be okay
@@stephaniehayden7018 Same here. When I get up in the morning and the shakes kick in, it's far too easy at the moment to just have a couple to take that away. Speaking to my GP later on today to hopefully get a course of librium. Supposed to be excellent at taking both the symptoms and the cravings away. But as it stands now, I'm still drinking, not to get drunk, but to keep the withdrawals at bay.
I felt so bad for him when he failed the test oh no
Me to !
He shouldn’t have been hanging out at the bar when he wasn’t working
I've stopped drinking it's been a month I believe and boy do I notice the difference in how my body and mind feels
So much respect to you, its the hardest thing I've ever done is stopped drinking, over 9 months on and I'm still sober. As for the "friends" booing him for not drinking, that still amazes me how many people really aren't friends, but you only notice at times like this
