- Welcome to It's OK to talk!
Here we talk about lots of interesting things.. (To me, anyway)
These things can include addiction to alcohol and binge drinking, marijuana/cannabis/weed addiction, addiction to sugar, processed food and binge eating, addiction to pornography and social media, dealing with depression, anxiety and panic attacks, men's mental health, personal accountability, the benefits of physical exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, challenging yourself daily both physically and mentally and much, much more.
In this particular video I talk about quitting alcohol for 365 days.

Quitting drinking is not about giving something up. It's about taking everything back. Addiction is giving up everything for one thing, and recovery is giving up one thing for everything. Alcohol truly does hold you hostage. Keep going, stay positive and have the right mindset. Thank you for posting this Jacob!❤👍
You sir need your own documentary or something with all these incredible insights.
Looking amazing mate nice skinfade haircut ❤️
You are right about what you know now at your age about alcohol - give it your all, you truly deserve this. If I get day one under my belt I'm off and feel great (have always gone back, though, up to now, but yes you do learn). I paid a lot of money for a coach - absolute waste of time and money because I do not enjoy 'sharing' very personal information with a group I do not know, hated it in fact. I can see the value in it, but it's definitely not for me' I don't think I have a tribe to follow! Got to do it myself. Good luck
I will be watching every one of your videos each day for the next year. You can do it
For that, I thank you!
your journey is definitely not a waste. as long as you keep trying its OK. and yeah, sometimes moderation is not enough. As an addict, it is almost impossible to to ourselves once we started.
I'm still trying to work out exactly what an addict is, what the word really means and what type of addict I am, but these videos have helped immensely. Thanks for the comment.
Good luck 👍
Thanks very much for the comment and coming through the channel.
Awesome dude, you should be proud of yourself. I'm proud of you as well. One day at a time. Your tribe will be solid
Thanks mate.
Looking forward to this one !!
I hope it sufficed!
Paul garrigan is at hope rehab center in Thailand . He quit alcohol at Thamkrabok Temple in Thailand, 17 years ago.
Thanks for the suggestion mate, back in Australia now.
Good work there. Please allow me a suggestion for the future. Allowing an addiction the main space in the mind gives the addiction power. An ongoing project, especially one involving other people, can counter that. An important alternative mission leaves less room for the addiction to play it's toxic games of deception and self doubt. The alternative just needs to be substantial, it could take any form. Years ago I ran a doss house for down and outs, most of who were alcoholic. One winter, a guy suddenly decided he was going to quit drinking. He set himself the task of providing fuel for our woodstove . Andy threw himself completely into the job, 24/7. Stealing timber from building sites, hauling it home, cutting, stacking it. The fire roared all day and night, much hotter than we needed. As weeks passed, Andy kept sober, partly because he had no time or energy spare to consider having another drink.
That is such an amazing story, thank you for sharing it. That surely has to get a few people thinking. He must have had such a strong mindset, prior to the drinking. And it flourished after taking it out clearly. Wow
Yes he was a very determined character, tough old Glaswegian Scot. I think finding an alternative passion can really work. Another case I came across was in the car factory where I worked .This guy, Henry , signed on at Fords soon after giving up drinking. Henry replaced his alcohol obssesion with union activity. He became the Storeman packers union delegate on the site and organised those workers into a formidable force. All day everyday Henry campaigned hard for his union members - policed health and safety issues, negotiated better conditions, ran meetings, built up a strike fund. It was another deliberate substitution for alcohol, a postive one which kept Henry dry and benefitted many workers. @@itsoktotalk
Alcohol sure does steal motivation.
It steals a lot more than that! Although, that is only when you are detoxing. Whilst on a buzz, I felt motivated af! However, never as motivated as I feel if I've had a few days off. Just getting to that point was the hard part.
Didn't drink for two days , woke up third day and was like fck it , I'm going to get some wine , ended up a real good day tbh . I was gaming online , skateboarding also took joey our huge Boxer Staffie cross for a walk in the bush , hes very power and scares most people lol . I woke up today I feel rekt as , dropped wine on my good keyboard and fcked that lol . I dont regret yesterday it was fun , but ya pay the price the next day for your actions that's for real . The skateboarding takes it out of ya that's for real . But I guess the booze was so toxic the sleep I had was terrible . Good luck man . I'm 44 now and the older I get the more I think about giving up the booze . Have tried many times to stop , it's so easy just to pick up the bottle . Drinking lots of water this morning lol . I'v got quite bit more wine left over , having second thoughts about drinking . One day of feeling like crap is enough a week I think . It's a sickness that's for real the drinking .
44? It's over mate. You've had your fun with booze, that part of your life is well and truly over, time to move on
@@HarryDuBois616 Ya probably not wrong there . Way too much fun lol for one life time . Oddly enough I'm quite happy when I don't drink .
This is a really insightful comment and I thank you for posting it. If you don't have any regrets, it's fine. If you can moderate, it's fine. If you can look at yourself in the mirror and feel proud, you're sweet. I couldn't though, but each day that goes by I'm getting stronger.
You look different bro like alcohol is killing your face and gains
Well, it could be down to getting older, but alcohol will most definitely affect the way you look. Shit has to stop!
bro, whats hurts me is that u start every video with "now im gonna do this and this but in retro" bro u cant toouch alcohol bro

I don't think anyone else or any group was every going to be able to tell me what to do, I'm pretty hard headed like that. But eventually, I simply had enough. It's a choice. To drink or not. Today, I choose to say no.
