I gave up alcohol December 2010. I never looked back. Greatest decision I made in my life. The first 6 months was very difficult, but then your body adjusts. Then your productivity and thinking goes to the stratosphere. No more ups and downs. I'm so much healthier too.
@@Moledmc Only way out is to isolate. Discipline. Get used to not having the same friends. I say this with all sincerity. Once you hit 6 months, the demon will be removed. Then expect your life to become 100x better. No exaggeration.

Well, if youre already asking yourself those questions, theres your answer. Its very likely your drinking will get worse, alcoholism gets worse 99% of the time. So the earlier you quit the easier it will be.
And yet this video would not have been made showcasing this guy without a back catalogue and a statis he's created for himself from a time when he was drinking/drugging. Would you be holding him up based upon the music he's created post-Wildwood otherwise?
Good point. If it wasn't for his talent and creativity, no one would care what he says. But as he is admired, many will be positively influenced by his advice. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

It's excellent that you can be so disciplined. Not everyone is like that. Everyone has a different capacity for moderation and a different tendency to addiction. The only probably with being a good dribbler like you is that you make alcohol seem harmless. Your friends and family (especially children L will see how controlled you are and will think alcohol is fine. But it's a percentage thing. A small percentage will be prove to addiction. So the risk for people like you is that by normalising alcohol, the risk is that you influence someone with a greater tendency for addiction to drink. And they then develop the problem. So I would say think not only of yourself but those you may influence. Of course you may be one of the fortunate ones, whose family have similar abilities of moderation to you.
@@hugo2216 for some it's cultural. I've met many who wear a cross for sentimental reasons and say they don't believe in Christianity. Does he say anywhere he is a christian.

@@hugo2216 Here's the answer: Weller added in an interview with told The Sun newspaper: "I've had the poem for ages. I've not been able to use it even though I liked the sentiment in it. Then Steve Cradock was saying we really needed a poem on this album. Aziz just came down on a social visit and we got him to do it. It's an interesting one because he's a very devout Muslim man - it's an interesting twist." This track suggests to some that The Modfather has found religion. Weller told The Sun : "I don't know about finding God. God finds you, I think. I don't have any belief in any organized religion. I find that all very divisive. I wouldn't knock any organized religion. If it gives people faith and strength it's a good thing. But if it divides people it's the antithesis of what it's supposed to be about." Weller discussed his religious beliefs further during an interview with The Observer March 11, 2012, telling the newspaper that he believes in God, "but not in a Christian way." He added that he believes, "Some kind of force, energy," has mapped out his life. "You don't always choose the life you have, do you?," he concluded.

He did well to make his mind up on alcoholism !
A lot of us started drinking when The Jam split up.

That's amazing to acknowledge that, which suggests you realise that there is possibly a meaning/purpose to your life.
So you agree?

Well done paul weller
I had one drink months ago.....a margarita 🙄 at Puerto Vallarta but that's it.

Doesn't sound like the Weller interview I heard.

She looks rather ordinary to me
Come on ,just the one 👹
The Old Testament , inspired by God/YHWH/Allah , the Old Testament for three thousand years, did NOT ban people drinking Alcohol.
Alcohol was apparently different then and not as strong as now.
Intoxication was forbidden.

I drink a sensible amount about once every 2 months and I actually enjoy it. Drink is a night time thing.
It's excellent that you can be so disciplined. Not everyone is like that.
Everyone has a different capacity for moderation and a different tendency to addiction.
The only probably with being a good dribbler like you is that you make alcohol seem harmless.
Your friends and family (especially children L will see how controlled you are and will think alcohol is fine.
But it's a percentage thing.
A small percentage will be prove to addiction.
So the risk for people like you is that by normalising alcohol, the risk is that you influence someone with a greater tendency for addiction to drink.
And they then develop the problem.
So I would say think not only of yourself but those you may influence.
Of course you may be one of the fortunate ones, whose family have similar abilities of moderation to you.
The night-time is the right-time.
Wow, you are really disciplined. I drink once a week and currently enjoy it. If that changes, I will stop, but I feel no need to right now.
Credit to Paul,thank God he stopped. God bless him. JESUS IS ALIVE !
Paul weller is looking very old he have drink to much in his life.
Smoking and sun more than alcohol. And probably genetics.
He wears a crucifix around his neck all the time
That could mean a lot of things.
Is he Christian?

That’s because you know nothing about music
Damage is done, looks like an old granny
Or Pauline Fowler three weeks after she died 😂
No wonder he’s so miserable 😂😂
He always has been. No drinking after you’re dead he said once.
Alcohol is less harmfull then religion.
Explain how and why
