    Never touched alcohol for about 4 years and its great waking up without feeling as if a badger has slept in your mouth.

    As your body cleans itself of the booze, you will start to fell better, happier and more clear headed, as you are no longer poisoning yourself, so enjoy this as it is your bodies way of saying thank you. ;)

    Day 22 for me! Congrats on the big 30! I have found that the better I feel the more I am tempted to go back... but I know this. Don't believe the lie that says you can pick it back up for a bit. I have fell for that one many times... A made up mind is a powerful thing. I tell myself: I lack nothing. I have everything I need. God bless you and all. you love.

    I used to drink 2 bottles of whiskey a day, every day. It was so difficult getting sober, from that (and pills), but I’m doing it and have been for several years. Keep going!!! Mark.

    Well done my friend, I had this epiphany about 15 years ago, I just stopped one night after coming back from a gig, I'm a magician and used to have a fair few drinks after the nights entertainment, I have a similar path to the one you are on, it does dip a bit, because the reason you were having a drink always comes back. I hope you keep up the challenge, you sound as if you will, I take my hat off to you, it's a tough old game, and sometimes you will wonder why you are doing it, and that's when you have to be strong, I didn't have a drink problem, I wasn't an alcoholic, but I needed to stop, with me there were no half measures, all or bugger all, that's me. if I wanted a drink now, I would have one, but I keep thinking that I would have to reset the clock again, and I'm not sure that I could do it again. I know you aren't going back on this, but all the same you have my admiration and best wishes for what lies ahead. Cheers Gareth ,this is a very important video, but aren't they all. !

    Nearly 70 years old and I found I was no longer enjoying alcohol. Drinking for the sake of it. Not that I drank heavily, never binge drinking, cant remember the last time I was drunk, I would have a couple of cans of beer a night. Now I drink alcohol free beer, the Guinness is great, I feel more alert, hard to explain. Having a dodgy liver , caused by years of drinking, and medication I was taking just help me to make this commitment. Good luck, I hope you can keep alcohol free, 2 years for me now. I'm sure you can also do it.

    I don't drink because my father is a chronic alcoholic. He has had numerous wake up calls that he didn't heed. I now accept that I cannot change the fact that he will drink himself to death.

    Exactly as I felt after giving up. It's been 19 years now since I give up and don't miss it one bit. I have the utmost confidence you can do this. Congrats Gareth.
