Started being sober one day at a time, didn't worry about the next day. That was 22 yrs and 8 months ago, still sober. Never missed a day.
Remarkable 😇🙏
❤️
23 yrs and 3 days now.
Very proud of you!
Congratulations. Keep up the wonderful work 🥳👍 .
Update: just passed the 2 year mark!
4 months sober from alcohol and I’ll never go back.
Great job
Keep it up
@@tritonwater3144 Going on 15 months!!
@@denisegresio6355great job! How is it?
@@darylmixan8170 seriously. It’s been great. One of the best things I could have ever done!
Keep up the good work
I’m 25 days ALCOHOL FREE & counting! Great advice, take it One Day at a Time 😊💪🏽
34 days sober now, feels good to keep going
I’m starting today. Not drinking today.
Don’t worry mate pay day soon
I AM PROUD OF YOU~I believe in you 🥰
Another 25 days and you'll.wonder why you even drank. 😊❤
Too often I have betrayed myself, because I never respected myself enough to keep my own promises to myself.
This hit hard for me rn
1 day at a time, friend.
Holy shit....thats deep 👌👌👌👌
I feel you... know that you are worth indeed
A few months into my 2nd try with sobriety. I have a craving.bad. Not physical obvie but mentally. Trying not to give in.
I used exactly this technique and was sober for 2.5 years. Then I returned to weed and gradually to alcohol. Now I’m starting over from this January.
Its ok man.
You got this. I was sober every time one of my buddies were deployed and jumped back on the wagon many times.
Now that I have children I know they will do what they see and not what I say.
Their future is way more important than my temporary fulfillment
You think weed caused your relapse? My family uses it - I hope they never go back to the bottle. Good luck on starting over. You've got this.
Much love brother x
Not that you abuse alcohol however my Nephew did big strapping guy over 6 ' died from it though sepsis from his liver sweet man The things we aren't as usual told you know take care oh he was labeled Covid Ugh still waiting for political advisers to get a little smarter because I can see China here and not for tea something like that?
Started smoking weed after 6 months sober
I went to rehab which was the best thing for me. Sober now 9 years and this is my tenth year. Plus today is my birthday (the big 70) and I am very happy with this decision.
Happy Birthday!!!👋🙂
How long did you drink for..?
I need this.
I'm turning 40 this year and I plan on living the rest of my life sober, God willing
Goodlucj buddy
Amen!
Good luck. I quit drinking at 41, more than half year ago, and I feel great about it.
God willing 🙏🏾
Lol why🤣
I decided to stop drinking two months ago. I've relapsed three different occasions. Those occasions were losses not failures.
Just an update: still doing good. I had two more times I drank. Still sober and it's going well.
@@garystinnett8321 any further updates?
@@businessisboomin7252 yeah, thanks for asking. Still sober and loving life! Hope you are doing well. :)
@@garystinnett8321 good for you! And I'm doing fine then :D
Still going strong! Hope all are well.
I just wanted to thank everyone on here that’s giving me such words of encouragement!! Still Sober!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU! AMEN
Amazing, I gave up drinking. It just made me lose control of my emotions, made me feel so weak and lost. Now I don't drink I feel so strong! Thanks Russell!
I love this so much. I’m 2 weeks sober today and this is great advice.
Omg two weeks congrats i pray 🙏🏽 i can too I’m praying for u and me today starts my new journey
Im proud of you. I can not even go 48 hours.
After day one. I am breaking. Sorry i am on my husbands account.
I feel you girl. This is me.
Congratulations!
This is exactly how I stopped drinking-one day at a time, no support group, no AA (though I wasn’t alcoholic), no help from anyone. I’d just been blessed with a newborn daughter and I wanted to be clean and sober since I was going to be a stay-at-home father. So, no more drinking. It’s been 15 years now, and I don’t miss alcohol one bit.😁
I just cold Turkey everything.
I was looking at the crowd I was with and didn't like it anymore.
I just dumped out my cup and walked away and never looked back.
If I get the urge I exercise.
I feel so much better
Way to follow your instinct.
@@highsierrasun Thank you very much Miss Linda ☺️🥰😚
I’m trying to permanently cut so much stuff out…booze, cocaine, gambling…basically a fucking degenerate that needs to sort himself out
Good lad
Did the same thing (kind of). I remember sitting at the bar hammered. My stomach felt awful, my brain was buzzing, I looked down at my gut and remembered how skinny I used to be. I suddenly felt this absolute and visceral feeling of disgust with myself wash over me. I slid my cocktail that wasn't even half empty away from me and walked out of the bar. That was my last drink.
being a musician who for years played in bands with alcoholics and playing in bars all the time made it difficult to disconnect alcohol from performing. that is until I joined a hardcore band with straight edge members playing shows with other straight edge bands where little to no alcohol was being consumed. that was the catalyst for me to realize that I didn't need to drink, and that i didn't really even enjoy drinking either.
I hear you brother. I turned 30 in '21 and for most of the decade I was playing in bands, addicted to Heroin and Coke, managed to kick both but was stuck with booze which became a bit of a problem. I'm drinking less and less as time goes on but theres something about being an artist in any capacity which seems to make intoxication quite difficult to avoid. Not saying that's the case for everyone in that position. Turns out weed is helping me cut down on booze.
I feel you man. Two of my bandmates are big drinkers and were always playing bars. I've been having a much easier time dealing with the scene and abstaining during the shows but it's not fuckin easy by any means. It's nice to hear someone else has this same problem👌
That's kindof interesting, which is rare for anyone talking about music
I've had the same problem for all my life. When I was 16 my band mate made bray at our rehearsal places boiler room. And drank. Well when I was twenty I started to be a heavy drinker. I drank basically everyday at least some amount (except in army for a year). I never thought I was an alcolic but a casual drinker. For 10 years I always had an excuse for my drinking.. when we reheased with bands I've been in I always drank. I felt it gave me more inspiration in making music. Didn't feel right to play if I wasn't at least a bit drunk.
On gigs I drank and drank a lot. Felt sober after 6 pints, but thinking afterhand I wasn't as much as I thought. Some of the gigs started to go wrong and I wasn't keeping time as a drummer should. Got fired from couple of bands and just starting to realise that it was cause I always drank and was drunk. Some gigs I did with just two drinks and then made a limit that 2-3 is the max. Well it was good life but lost my fiancee, job and much more. Don't care about the money. I was always drinking. What ever the occasion was.. X-mas with family - what ever. Gradually the music started to fade from my life and found myself alone drinking. After covid realized I drink a 18 pack every night home alone. Some years ago without beeing playing drums for 3 years I went to conservatory in helsinki to play with a group of people and drunk again obviously and realized that the drinking had really taken a toll..
Now I'm trying really hard not to drink, but feel it quite hard. Feels good after a day or two beeing totally free of it, but it comes back. I have realized that I can't drink at all. Spent over 20 years of my life loving drinking - now I hate it.
I wish tomorrow is again a sober day and I'll find some power to resist it..
Thank you from your story mate!
You got this .@@gringostarr69
Holy shit russ... I'm currently trying to quit and can't 1 day at a time... but I will try the 1 day and hopefully keep going 😞 .... my girlfriend passed away a cpl months ago due to chirossis 😪 ... we have a 2 year old and I want to live till he's grown but I still cant... thank to you I will try after this video.. u are making a change, and I will update u or your viewers, remember me
I HOPE YOU'RE WELL.
You are not alone!! You can do this!!!
This clip and quote from Russell helped save my life and got me to sobriety. I’ll never forget this!
Thats amazingly awesome
That's wonderful : ). It didn't work for me. Saying,"I won't drink today" made me feel like I was saying it's ok to drink sometime and an urge would come because I couldn't wait...
I'm sober now, though.
@@AgeismGoesBothWaysHa! Me too, AA when I would go would make me think how fun all the other people would be to party with, that definitely didn’t help! It is nice to hear other people have the same struggles and overcome it though.
I come back to this video often. 160 days today. Feels good.
This actually gave me the hope I can quit. Thanks for being so kind and gentle.
It took me years to realise I wasn’t distracting myself enough and I lost all emotions for everyone and became a monster. I hate how many people alcohol and drugs have killed. I’m lucky to be here and have a gift of life because I know some day I’ll be free. It is hard, but a day at a time and you’ve got to rest and keep back up if you fall down ❤
Thanks for this Mate, I watch this clip 10 times a day as a reminder. It's like having a good friend giving advise and support.
This is a very forgiving and compassionate approach. This moment is ALL that we have. Commit to this moment and be grateful for life. Thank you for encouragement delivered with gentleness.
I am currently 6 months into my abstinence from drugs and alcohol and just doing it for the day I am currently in works. Thanks Russell
My Nephew died from sepsis from alcohol only 33 big guy too sweet man Also Virus Mania they never isolated a virus to make one in the book ugh they labeled my Nephew as covid by the way lies
This is incredibly comforting, thankyou Russel
17 years sober thanks to AA and 1 day at a time.
10 days sober and I do this same thing one day at a time.
Cutting down on my alcohol use recently. Withdrawal is hell I wish I would never started drinking in the first place. Good luck out there god loves you and he will help you through this❤
2.5 months sober after 2 years of heavy use still really struggling but holding on
Love this!🙌
Jesus said , ‘why worry about tomorrow? Let tomorrow worry about itself. ‘ ❤️
Dont worry about anything my love , but in everything, pray🙏❤️🙏
Easter bunny and a unicorn told me the same thing
That's exactly the verse that popped into my head when I watched this. Praise be to Yeshua ❤️
"Just for Today" is something I hear a LOT since starting NA, so it's funny hearing you say it now, since I know where you got it from.
I'm 10 years sober!!! Best decision of my LIFE!
I have been sober since November.14 2019 I have never felt better cheers 👍🏿
Awesome! Keep up the good work
I was not an alcoholic and had my first drink at 11 years old. I have lived a successful life. Stopped drinking 10 months ago for good! I’m 64.
I challenge anyone to stop and see how you feel for 6 months. It’s empowering 👍🙂🙏
INTERESTING!
I had My first drink @ (9-years old).
Yes God grace is good, one day at a time sober 11/28/09😍
PRAISE the LORD!
Twenty years sober next August. I thank God for my alcohol free life.
I needed this. I'm crying cus I can't quit
I thought I couldn't either. But did. You can do it my friend. I highly recommend watching Jordan Peterson and Theo Von talking about quitting.
I feel you fam. I've never hated anything more than alcohol
@@sumofit4475look up Dr Berg here in YT. You'll probably need to replace minerals, vitamins etc destroyed by alcohol ie Thiamine, Potasium, Magnesium. A probiotic will help heal your gut flora which has probably been damaged and this helps with anxiety as the gut feeds the brain.
Go to an AA meeting
To all of you, I BELIEVE IN YOU, YOU CAN DO IT.
About to hit 9 years and i am a weak POS, you can do it.
I know this is two years later but... There's nothing weak about 9 years sober (11 now?)
@@le13579 I'm still at it. How about you? I know you got this.
This video helped to keep me sober today. Thank you
Such a compassionate approach Russel. Thank you. I drank so much because it conned me into thinking it prevented the abyss. Recently , I only just realised it WAS the abyss !
I was doing so well day 30 and just caved in..to say I'm disappointed in myself is an understatement...I actually enjoyed being alcohol free ..damn it.
Don't be dissappointed. You still accomplished those 30 days, and that means you can do it again. 😊
It feels fucking good to get drunk after 30 days lol
It’s hard when you go out with friends and they all ask why you aren’t drinking
Friends don't ask that. You're still hanging out with the drinking buddies.
Find new friends Martin. Sounds like they were not your friends in the first place.
😭😭
Yeah I get the... oh he's doing his not drinking thing again 😞
Been doing this a while. I'm tired. Its day 5 for me and I'm just taking it one day at a time. I'm ready to see just how good life can get ❣️
Just a friendly reminder: wherever your attention goes there you flow. Sending infinite love and healing vibrations to you all.
Thank you Sir for caring about others. You are awesome and have a lot of common sense.
I been sober 2 years I don't even think about alcohol anymore .
The idea of letting go of something that does absolutely nothing good for you. I can live with that every single second
Often it feels like it does good though, like you know it’ll take your pain and your thoughts away and at that time, that seems good, like the very best thing. That’s why it’s so hard to fight it 😢
This is soo true. After drinking my entire adult life, I've been sober for 8 months and loving it. I ask God to take my hand 1 sober day at a time. Focus on the now and your little accomplishments will build up to being alcohol free! I promise, you can do it.
god you're such a gem, happy saturday Russ!
I use to drink 10 pints of beer and 6 vodkas on a night out But I just have a couple of beers now well 4 at most and don't drink vodka at all and I don't make a big deal about it I just do it As I didn't like the person I was before and I feel free n better for it 👍 Thanks for the wise words Russell ✌️❤️🌍
Thanks brother and MOST Americans need this skill and mentality. ❤🎉🎉❤❤
27 months yesterday 🎉 33 finally alive
One day at time…. 🙏🏼It’s a song 🎶
I feel inspired to focus on one day for my anxiety. I felt terrified of what could happen a month away. Russell, life is becoming extra strange. Please share more techniques for coping with the circus of this world. Thank you for your leadership.
It is extra strange for all of us - so in the hour you are in right now - look around and think just of it .... is it tea time in your best cup? Or is it stretch time? Is it time to watch a new movie ? Just don't do evil out of despair - and hang in there - I have lost my energy - but will encourage those who still have it - maybe we will be around for the next stage (feudal, industrial, capitalist) and then we can benefit from being good people.
Melanie, ask yourself do you need it or do you want it??? If you don't need it then you never wanted it. And ask yourself, would a drink help?? We both know it wouldn't. It would only create more problems if not bring back any old problems. Be 100% honest with yourself. If you fall off the wagon, get up and get back on the wagon . Never stop trying, never give up. You can do this, keep the FAITH.
2 days in and using this message to get me through my 3rd day. Thank you! 🙏
Day 3 today! Thanks for the positivity, rRs! Love ya!
Excellent advice Russel. Top it off with doing the one thing you love the most that isn't negative and doesn't involve drinking and get obsessive about it.
I can stop drinking.
But when I’m with friends or in certain environments I get easily lead.
Unless I just completely shut away from the outside world, which is impossible, I don’t know how to stop
I have a food addiction. Listened to his interview speaking about his book: Freedom from our Addictions. It Was just what I needed to hear. Gonna get the audio book! Thank you Russell! ❤️🦋🪷
I'm in AA 67 days clean. I'm having a much better time in life now. It's getting easier and easier. One day at a time all the way:)
Sending love to all struggling from rock bottom ❤
It’s a great idea to have some kind of substitute, if you really feel for drink then you might say “I’ll have a coffee instead”, or a cup of tea, or drink a large amount of water then (for me at least) the craving sort of disappears. And as soon as you start to actually experience the benefit of being sober (waking up feeling great and refreshed, not being hungover, more energy, everything just feels clearer and more positive) it’s a great motivator to keep that going. I’ve never had a problem with booze but every now and then I’ll go a week without it and I’ll participate in stuff like sober october, it really feels like a community thing with a good cause. Then having a few drinks on the first of november with friends feels great and you don’t feel any guilt in doing so.
Love this. Thank you Russell 💙😇🙏
THANK YOU RUSSELL 💜🙏💜
Gold!! Today is a gift that’s why we call it the present!!
I’m struggling constantly everyday. I can’t even keep a job cause it’s been that bad. I’m 30 and have a family of 4. I feel everyone’s pain i cried in my car today cause I didn’t know what else to do. Love y’all we gotta keep trying. It’s always good to know that I’m not the only one though.
I wake up sober and hit the gym, later on l have a meal with a drink. This is called 'Drunch', enhancing the day for everyone.
The opposite… “i will drink only for today”, will be a disaster.
Glad to have you, Russell, as a fellow 12 step member. ❤
He’s not lying. I’m one year sober. But I like to look towards tomorrow on those really sucky days. Because how I feel today may not be how I feel tomorrow. It is truly something you have to take one day at a time.
TRUE!
Goes for loneliness too ... I just need to do what I have in front of me today - just today.
Great post! It applies to everything
Praise the Lord!! I don’t find pleasure in drinking but this is a perfect advice for my self-sabotaging sugar addiction!
The whole having the support and will gets me
Thank you, would love more videos like this!!
Im a person who cant stand people who DRINK to The POINT of No RETURN as I lost all my friends to alcohol Germany has hard headed Drunks ...dont get me wrong I used to LOVE Alcohol BUT it got to the point ALCOHOL HATES ME !!
Russell, I have been going through a lot.
If you are who I think you are you know what I’ve been going through.
I needed this talk.
Very productive....
Thanks for this reminder Russell - reminds me of the 4 precepts in Reiki; just for today do not anger, just for today do not worry, just for today show gratitude, just for today be diligent and just for today be kind. Glad you refreshed my memory! 🙏💚
I keep forgetting how amazing this man is. And im tearing knowing how much i still struggle.
I love russel brand… I never would have thought this would be the dude who spoke to me the most.. wow. Thank you
I love this guy in all his movies. I really needed this.
I’m struggling with sobriety, I work in a bar as a bartender, most of the people around me drink and are in the same industry so it’s becoming a little lonely. But I feel this is the best advice I could have ever heard. ONE DAY AT A TIME. I didn’t drink for the past couple days but now I’m sitting at home alone watching videos…I guess anything helps!!
Good luck to everyone on the same journey
3.5 months sober from 13 straight years of binge drinking, my life has absolutely changed since and I'm learning to love myself for the first time.
Your book was a godsend to me Russell 🙏🏻
Felt the love, Russel. Thank you.
Best advice ever!!!
Thank you!
As an alcoholic, I could probably do 1 day... And it starts with one 🙏🙌
This helped me give up my drinking... 1 day at a time - with just this ONE minute video. I'm impressed with Russell's video, and with many thanks.
Surely some hypnotic techniques in this video? It worked so well for me. I am many days dry after watching this video, with months of relapse to daily drinking alcoholism beforehand.
I needed this in regards to smoking. Thank you!
After several days not drinking you get confidence when you do a week,then it keeps growing...You gain strength and look forward to what becomes years ..
One of the best and most important decisions I've made 5 years ago. Never again!
On my days off of work. I say , at this moment, I am not at work.. so I can drink! While I don’t drink at work. Now if I could only not drink at home.
I keep watching Russell
I just opened UA-cam shorts and this was the 1st thing I saw this and I really really need to hear this thanks Russell if nobody else got anything out of this I did
I hope the best for all of you ❤️
Today is my first day not drinking. Been drinking fairly heavily for almost 4 yrs. Went off the deep end after my divorce. Just had something happen 2 weeks ago that made want to do what I can to have a better life.... Sobriety seems like a great place to start!!
Thank you, Russell. 💜🙏🏼
My bro is in ICU fighting for his life rn. Alcoholism. It’s breaking my heart. I’m clean 10 years by God’s grace, but I never came off alcohol like he is. I hurt for him so much
Is your brother ok now? 🙏🏻
And are you doing ok?
@@krissypeters1517 thank you for asking! How touching. He passed away. I still can’t believe it. Truly tho, I can’t say why exactly but it means a lot that you asked. 🩷🩷🩷
@@krissypeters1517 again thank you so much for asking!! My mom and I attended Grief Share which has helped so much and I am pretty sure that people prayed us back to health because we are both doing much better. It was a living nightmare there for a while
Appreciate this! Starting my sober journey and want to make it for quite some time this time. Only way to get there is one day at a time!
Accepting God as a pathway to peace...thank you Mr. Russel.
My first time seeking help like this. Its time to change.
RUSSELL!!! I love your channel name and I love your voice! ♥️
After watching this many times haven't had a drink since October 2022. Miss drinking but not a hangover. Now working on the next 18 months .
This man has a kind heart
