Thanks for sharing your experience I have just hit 10 months sober and feel so proud of myself too - and the surprising thing is that I actually feel so much better physically and mentally, AND I am more confident and less socially anxious! I know what you mean about feeling smarter - it's like my brain is working as it's supposed to, rather than having to struggle to get over hangovers and fatigue. Thanks again for sharing your story! There is a pattern of alcohol abuse in my family and I feel like I have broken the chain by taking this step and that is fuelling me on ❤️

Thank you for sharing that with me! It's amazing how much clearer and "smarter" we are without that poison! Congratulations on 10 months! 🤪💪👍 Don't ever let your brain say to you, "Look how good you're doing! You've conquered this dragon. Now, you can have just one on NYE!" 👺👹😈☠️💀 That first drink is the biggest liar EVER!! Stay vigilant, my friend!! 💜

Well done! I’m on day 6 and struggling but your video is really encouraging!

Congratulations! Alcohol consumption is fun, but the sober life is a better life. I’m 1 year, 13 days out from my quitting date. ❤

Thanks, John! Congrats on 3 years! I'm 6 1/2 years now. Never going back to that awful life.

I loved vodka and I never used to drink but I began drinking two years ago. It got to the point that I lost my house, car, children, my freedom, my temper, my savings in a 4 month period. I lost myself. DRUNK DRIVER myself...thank God I didn't kill myself or anyone. I finally got sick of it yesterday......so I'm ready to be sober forever. Wish me luck

Great video, Congratulations. I am now going on 9 months. I agree, it is such a great feeling. I was so tired of feeling like crap, I just couldn't do it anymore. It was the best decision ever.

This is exactly how I felt before giving up the booze. Kept the Harley parked at home so I could get drunk and go to the garage to stare at it. Just a huge waste of time. I didn't know I could feel this good after 45 years of pumping in the poison. You are honest and very cool. Stay sober my friend, and I will do the same.

Proud of you for sharing!! Great job :)

Great video! Thanks for sharing and being so genuine. I hit 10 months this week and my experiences parallel your’s in all ways. I too started for just one month and experienced feeling better, being more productive and losing weight. This led to month two, three up to now, month ten. The first week was the hardest because the habit was so forged. Week two was easier and so on. I rarely miss or crave it and when I do, the feeling quickly passes. Anyway, thank you again and I wish you the best.

Amazing 💕🙌 I hope you’re still going strong 💪

Such a great video ❤ Just hit 1 year sober and have never felt better, quitting is the best thing i've ever done. Life is really beautiful 🎉

Emma, I am so happy for you! It truly IS the best thing you could have ever done for yourself. CONGRATULATIONS! 💃Please watch my other videos and consider subscribing. I haven't posted a video for awhile but plan on posting again soon. Stay vigilant and always know that first drink is the biggest liar EVER! Don't ever think that because you haven't drank in awhile that you can have "just one." Doesn't work and then you have to start over again. STAY VIGILANT! ♥🥰

@@RobynWingerter Thank you for your response 😁 i've subscribed and currently watching your other videos. Yes I agree about that "just one drink". I just don't make it an option anymore. I don't believe in moderation for myself, it makes it so much harder. When its simply not an option it's far more managable. It only took from my life and gave me nothing real. I value my health and happiness much more now, I see things more clearly and my decision making is done with such clarity. My circle is much smaller but I cherish the people in it. Feels good doesn't it 🙃

@@emmac7880 It has been a life game changer for me. I will celebrate 7 years this July 24 and when I first started this alcohol-free journey, I didn't know how I was going to make it even 1 DAY without my wine, but here it is 7 years later and I can honestly say I never think about alcohol ever. I am so proud of you. Moderation definitely doesn't work at all. You are going to be a true inspiration to others! Shine your light, girlfriend! 🤩

You nailed it for me. The only difference is my best friend was a 6.6 % IPA . The sleep deprivation and impaired driving , totally me!! I am on my second 30 day journey and have aspirations of making it to 90days and more. ROCK ON

Really enjoyed your video. It's honest, intelligent and optimistic. Just a video tip though... don't set the IRIS or APERTURE on AUTO -- use a manual setting and try not to sit in front of a window. So have you stuck with your no-drinking lifestyle? I am curious since this was shot a 10 months ago... Also, I am currently about 5 weeks of no-drinking... never a daily drinker but wanted to take a break...

Omg you sound just like me a 20 year bad habit of white wine drinking every night a bottle drunk texting waking up at 3am feeling horrible one time I woke up with chest pain and all sweaty that was my wake up call that alcohol was going to send me into an early grave! I too gave it up my stomach and chest pain was completely alleviated also my heart burn vanished I sleep so much better wake up refreshed... no idea why I ever drank all those years . Like you said just a really bad habit!!!

Congratulations ma'am

Beautiful...

Omg so me that is crazy thanks for sharing

Well done you.

Hi love your video was wondering are you still sober? I want to stop so bad but it’s so hard .. I too am a wine drinker

I did it !

Keep it up! Your older self with thank you

Appreciate the older perspective of this. So many ´´kids´´ on youtube talking about quitting drinking. That is cool but I can´t relate. I, too was a WINE drinker. A few bottles a week, sometimes more. Mmmmm. Merlot. Malbec. Petit Syrah. If it was red, it went to the head! Never got in any trouble just tired of feeling like shit....and the body´s warning signs acting up. I like the vibrational healing biz. I also run a weekly crystal singing bowl meditation in my shop, Crossroads in Shingle Springs Ca. Good vibes, clean chakras. I always felt like a fraud trying to teach meditation and the like while getting drunk on the regular. Fuck that noise! All senses clean, now. Good luck and keep it going!

Im in NZ, The best I have been able to do is 7 days! well done you, hope you come back. Its so hard to fight yourself, I look forward to being able to say the same one day

Hey Campbell, 7 days is 7 days! It is a one-day-at-a-time game (sometimes one second at a time) so never give up. I tried to quit hundreds of times and it finally sunk in. You can do it, too!

True Story - I bought the book Allen Carr's How to Control Alcohol.... Then I found someone had uploaded the audio to KZread. Here it is... kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqeIrs2TZ5SnfqQ.html Its 8 hours long so I listened to it in 1/2 hour segments. After 30 plus years of self abuse I stopped drinking at the 2 hour mark. I couldn't believe how easy to was….. there was no will power involved with the method. I'm done with it. And I did it BEFORE the book arrived!

Nice. How's it going these days?

I got to where I was drinking Merlot like that too, and it really is a miserable way to live looking back...Now when I smell it I gag, its like my body is yelling at me now, "don't drink that stupid!" My stomach is smarter than I am, and I'm glad for that.. :-)

So many videos like this nowadays. Great for support, advice and inspiration. Sobriety takes work. Vigilance. Reminders that your disease is waiting for you to relapse. It's like snakes and ladders. A drink can take you back to square 1.
