So let’s get into it! The 8 things that happen when you stop drinking alcohol.
1. The Truth about Withdrawal
When you quit drinking, are you going to withdraw? Well, this often puts a lot of people off stopping. I’ve heard it all a tonne of times. “Don’t you need to detox when you stop drinking?” Or “Isn’t it dangerous to quit drinking?” Well, depending on how long you have consumed alcohol for, and how much alcohol you consume, you may well have some withdrawal symptoms… And, if you are very physically addicted to alcohol, then seek medical attention.
But, for those of you that have decided to embrace those feelings…Think of it like this… The crazy thing is, if you are feeling withdrawal symptoms, this means you’re doing something right! You are stopping! Drinking more alcohol isn’t going to fix your withdrawal symptoms. It’s just going to prolong them. The reality is, most people can fight through that first bit of withdrawal and discomfort.
If you drink alcohol, you deal with withdrawal every single day. What do you think is happening in between those gaps when you’re not drinking? However when you stop, you can welcome those feelings of discomfort and think: “I know exactly what you’re doing here, body! And I’m not going to listen to you, dumbass!” If you’re worried about withdrawal, go to your doctor. But, if you’re ready for it, more power to you my friend!
2. You will get way better skin
The second thing you can expect from quitting drinking is that your skin will get a TONNE better. Firstly, any redness in your skin will start clear up. Interestingly, when we drink, there is a chemical reaction that causes our peripheral blood vessels to expand and widen. This can often cause that typical red, flushed skin. It can take a few weeks, but eventually, the blood vessels will constrict and redness in the skin will disappear.
If your surpass 30 days, this will only get better. Alcohol is also a diuretic, and causes huge amounts of dehydration. When you drink your wrinkles and pores become much more visible. By drinking plenty of water and stopping drinking alcohol, your skin will restore its natural plumpness and healthy glow, and wrinkles and bad skin will start to diminish.
Don’t be surprised if your friends and colleagues compliment you on how much better you are looking.
3. Cravings
What about cravings? Are you going to experience any cravings when you give up? Well, you know what, it’s entirely possible. Alcohol is an extremely addictive drug If you’ve drank for a number of years, you’re conditioned to think of alcohol in so many different situations. Weddings, dates, parties, whatever. And when you see other people drinking alcohol and having a “good time”, you may feel as though you’re missing out.

There are a few ideas for quitting alcohol at home Try eating food while you are drinking - this cuts down the amount you drink. Take a break from drinking. Make a note of how much you drink, then you know if you are cutting down. Set yourself goals - don't make them too difficult at first. Choose one or two days or each week when you will not drink at all. Next, try to stop drinking for one week per month. (Reference: Adoette Drink Plan site )

Count: that seems to be what works for me as well: I need distractions to steer me away from drinking. Gotta keep occupied.
I haven't been drinking for more than 10 years. First months the feeling was great. It felt like all the problems were gone. But after 6 months it started to get worse and I got more and more depressed and anxious and wanted to get drunk as never before. I felt so bad psychologically it gave motivation to work with myself mentally as I didn't want to restart drinking. Turns out alcohol was acting as kind of a safety-valve to get rid of the negative emotions. After learning how to deal with them using other methods it started to get better. After about 3 years I forgot the pleasant sensation of being drunk so there was no physical urge to drink anymore. Get ready to entertain yourself as life might feel more boring. Social events will take more effort. And after these years sober the one thing I miss the most is the drive, decisiveness, confidence and creative inspiration I had while drunk, but I chose health, relationships, wellbeing and life (as I might as well be dead by now with that lifestyle). So it's not all roses. There's something you'll have to sacrifice. So pick your priorities and good luck on your journey. Your experience may vary.

Well said Sir. However I do not want to completely quit having a drink, I say having a drink instead of drinking because drinking means you keep doing it once you have started. I personally love having a sip of whiskey from a flask when sat next to the fire after hiking many miles & camping. I may also have a cigar? However I am not hiking for most of the year & I don't wake up in the morning needing a smoke! I am doing a 8 week body challenge atm so no drinking or smoking, but I almost know for certain at the end of the challenge a cheeseburger & pint of Guinness will be had. This Christmas I had port & cheese the funny thing was it was like my body needed it as I woke up in the morning feeling amazing with loads of energy, however I do know from past experiences that if I were to drink most days & eat rubbish all the time then I would wake up feeling crap with low energy. Well it's nearly 04:30am time to get in the gym & crush a workout. Laters.

I drank everyday for 10 years, if you are quitting and need inspiration think of the worst hangover ever and how much of a tool you were as a drinker, I am 6 months sober and my life has changed so much in such a positive way :)

@steven milstead I don't have anything in my life that makes me happy, except the moments of pleasure I get from a few hedonistic vices, like drinking. I've searched for many years, and tried many, many things, for anything else, a purpose or reason to be anything other than someone drifting in hedonism. But there's nothing for me.
Today is my first day of sobriety. It’s my 5th attempt this year. Puked out some blood too, which scared me. Spent the day in the hospital, detoxing I guess. As I sat there in withdrawals, that’s when I decided enough is enough. Tmrw i will be going to AA so I can seek actual help, instead of lying to myself saying I can do this. Wish me luck folks, and prayers, I’ll gladly take this prayers. Have a good evening.

I'm an alcoholic. Yeah, all of the stuff said in this video is true. This was a good video. I especially can relate to the sugar cravings part when you quit. I am a middle aged guy who has been drinking hard for a long time. I drink hard for a few years until my body can no longer take it and then I quit for a few years. I am currently sober and I want to stay that way. I'll say this- my body still feels like hell after I quit (probably because I am getting older) but the one part I do cherish while I am sober is the mental clarity that comes along with it. I am able to think more clearly. I also act like a better person when I don't drink. When I drink I am a person I do not want to be. I am a mean drunk. But when I quit alcohol, that personality goes away. I am the person I have always wanted to be when I am not drinking. I'm a more pleasant person. I also stop being a hermit and I become a better friend to people when I am sober. So that gives me motivation to not pick up that drink.

ive been heavy drinking almost every day for the last 2 years, i finally hit rock bottom and decided to quit, im 1 week sober right now and im going to hold out as long as i can. if i decide to drink again i hope i can take a moderate approach and never go back to how i was. if youre thinking about getting sober please do, and know that you dont have to do it alone. find a group meeting, find ways that work for you. ive been doing non-alcoholic beer and "mocktails" to kind of trick myself into feeling like im drinking. 1 week in and physically i already feel better.
20 years trying to get sober. Doing counselling and got a good program now. Keep up the videos. Hearing story’s like yours very motivating.
Leon, I really like that I haven't heard you use the word "quit" as opposed to STOP🛑. (Quitters never win, winners never quit) It puts into perspective, and reminds us of the God given gift of FREEWILL. If we don't exercise our power, WE render OURSELVES powerless🤷♂️
I love how positive and optimistic you are... Watching this video has made quitting seem like it's going to be more of a fun positive effect I appreciate you God bless

Man you are so right about quitting drinking. I almost went back at the 2 year mark because I thought I was missing something; turns out life is incredibly great without alcohol. I am much more productive, healthy and happy. This August will make 7 years; I am in it for the long haul. Thank you so much for your videos, you are an inspiration.
I had on and off relationship with alcohol, I have chronic pancreatitis because of alcohol but whenever I quit I resorted back to alcohol again. but its been 21 days now and I believe im done for good with alcohol, I have lost 8 kgs of weight, my mood is so much better I have so much energy and most importantly I gained back the respect from my family and friends.
Well said Leon!
Great video. I only drank on occasions but I noticed how much I liked alcohol when I did drink so I stopped. I can go 7-8 months without alcohol and then have a glass of wine and be fine. I'm in control. Thank God.

Love this channel. Addiction to alcohol effects my entire family and myself. I never drank until I was 23 and from the first buzz and sip, I was hooked. I didn't know why, however, I do now. I have had ups and downs with it, I have PTSD due to my life and career, and alcohol was always my self medication. I currently am done and have made it a couple of weeks, but, I give in again and again. I want to stop for good. I also know that with God and supportive friends/family its possible. I know many who stopped for years now with divine help, but, still have cravings and have to pray daily. I am glad I found this Sober Leon channel. I have been listening daily. Thank you.

I'm only 2 weeks sober after 5 years of drinking daily. The first 3 days were so difficult, but each day seems easier. Thanks for sharing this and giving us motivation and hope for a better tomorrow.

Same here man anxiety depression is thru the roof plus this brain fog is killing me I dont feel right at all praying this all gets better without me having to be put on meds
Back to day 2 these videos are really giving me hope and faith that one day I will benefit & feel so much better from being alcohol free.
Good stuff.
Thanks again 👍
On a Friday night I usually start a 1litre bottle of whisky and by the end of Sunday it's usually all gone. This weekend I'm trying not to do that. It's tough but I'm trying to replace that feeling with something else more positive. Starting to really get into weight training so I feel like this will help. Thanks Leon.
I’m in my early 20’s and I’m giving sober October a try. 3 days in and I’ve finally noticed how out of control I’ve been.
Great video ka✌️

YOU'RE awesome! Thanks
I am studying jazz piano and am noticing that alcohol severely undermines my performance… drinking became a daily habit and once weekly I drink way to much… now I’m ready to stop… I’ve made up my mind. It’s my first evening in a long time without a drink… I feel rather good, but a bit restless and there’’s a strange sense of fear… I hope to get a good night’s rest and face the challenge of friday night tomorrow… I need to get healthy again…

Excellent Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Saankramer Life Card System (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to stop drinking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate after many years got astronomical success with it.
21 years old and have gotten stupid drunk every weekend and most thursdays but I am 5 days sober and I want to become a better person and never drink again. Wouldn’t say I’m an alcoholic but there are more important things in life than getting drunk

31 days sober after spending 2 decades drunk, wired and high. Currently on Antibuse (medication) which seams to be helping me along
I’m nearly 2 years without alcohol, one of the best decisions of my life. It does nothing to benefit you
Thanks for this great video. You really show that stopping drinking is just a logical common sense thing to do. The drinkers are the strange ones, not the sober. "Do to get high, don't get high to do."
thank you Leon
Cheers brother!

Great message thank you 🙏
You've changed my life bro. Thanks.
Due to Corona virus lockdown all bars and alcohol stores were closed for almost a month. And now even they're open I have not gone to buy. It's been 2 months now (4 days to go) and I feel great. I've started working out, started eating enough till full unlike before and having lots of energy and just feel great.

Great advice ♡
When you stop drinking, you find out who was merely your partner in the chemical fog of alcohol overindulgence and who is a true friend.
Many thanks love your videos. On day 2 after relapsing after 2 weeks. I must admit this has to be it, what I am finding now when I sober up the anxiety has gone super sonic!! I felt like there was no way out it was horrific! Anyway thanks again for video's and wish me luck👍

I've found the easiest way to deal with people who want me to drink is this: "I'm not allowed to drink for 90 days- doctors orders." It gives them a non-social reason that their offer is being rejected. But if you're classy, buy them a drink (and a ginger ale for yourself)

All about your mind’s strength! Absolutely, no side effects at all. My brother has started at the age 18 and stopped at 50. Now 6 years have finished without them. By the way , He was a cute daily drinker ! Never fought , suicide feeling shit or depression etc. After he quit by himself He kept whiskey, brandy , wine and beer (one bottle each) on his shelf in the dining room. Still they are all in fresh condition means never opened or touched either! He is the real man of the world with powerful mind !
24 years sober here, one thing you notice how much of the whole drinking culture was just advertising. I also remember running into an old drinking buddy that I had and we caught up on the gang. It was like "Jail, divorce, rehab, useless...but you turned out ok." I'm hardly perfect, yeah - I'm ok.
