    Hi Leon. I'm 32 days sober. In the last couple of months, I have watched many great KZread influencers give motivational talks about sobriety and quitting alcohol, they have all helped keep me grounded a long the way. I'm feeling grateful for all the benefits I have experienced in this journey. I've come across a lot of bumps (triggers) along the road of sobriety but have accepted this to be part of the journey. I don't want to go back to ground zero. Alcohol consumption of today only takes happiness away from tomorrow.

    90 days sober, went cold turkey. Felt great after day 5, getting better and better. No cravings now. If i think about alcohol now, i just fastfoward the movie to remind myself of the horrid hangover feelings. Works everytime. 55 years old, started drinking properly at 19. Moderate to sometimes heavy consumption throughout those years. Stress and anxiety all gone. Best Sleeps now.

    Day 13 for me. I was a once a week or fortnight binge drinker. At 54 I'm so sick of wasting my weekends, missing workouts and the week long recovery in mental acuity after a big night..just so over it.. so I'm making a change. First challenge will be on Day 21 when I have dinner with mates. These occasions are historically big nights. They don't know I won't be drinking yet. But to tell the truth I'm not evenly slightly concerned and am looking fwd to catching up and eating delicious food. Meditation ice baths and cold showers over the last 2 months have made sober easy so far...there will be big challenges in social occasions especially with strangers but I will get thru it or just leave after doing my best. Thanks for the vids mate!

    In two days it's going to be 3 months. I have started drinking a lot from the age of 14 until last day off 2023. It's more then 15 years of drinking. I thought I'm the best if I can drink even after everyone was done, sleeping or puking. I was always the one that can drink the most and still be able to communicate or think a little clearly. Even if I drank a lot i had just small hangovers so I was okay with it. Now I've been studying self improvement for a few months and it lead me to leave my underpaid stereotypical job in Europe and leave for one year to Australia. Here I've quit my drinking and I cannot imagine anything that would made me to drink again. My challenge is that i feel a little bit not belonging but it's rapidly decreasing after time goes. Hardest were those first two months. I couldn't stop thinking about drinking some beer or whatever. I also know that I'll lost a lot of my friends because of that but at least I know that they were just drinking buddies. I also felt like it's boring to be sober but now i know that i have even more time to think and focus on what's important. Your videos are helping me because I know just people that drink.

    It isn’t easy by far and definitely not just a case of oh.. don’t ever pick up a drink again if you are having severe withdrawal symptoms that can actually be a threat to your life! Take it from someone who was alcohol dependent and having seizures without alcohol that my 16 months of sobriety wouldn’t have happened without a medical detox! Just saying everyone is different

I noticed now it is just about the alcohol because as soon as I'm walking to the store to buy the alcohol I feel better already. So I'm not sure what to do about this.
