The lack of hangovers feels 1000% better than the temporary buzz of alcohol. I just wish it hadn't taken me 20 years to realize that.

Some people don't make it, so 20 years is better than a lifetime of no life if you know what I mean proud of you❤❤

I am nearly one month without alcohol.I feel much better for it.

415 days clean and sober and not missing anything about it, now that I'm away from the alcohol cycle it's clear that I never want to drink again.😊

5 days! Proud of myself.

@@sreyen1065 don't beat yourself up. we all make mistakes in life, and one drink is a tiny set back. live life not month to month or day to day but moment by moment. I've been trying to find a drink that will replace beer, cold and refreshing without the alcohol and sugar and carbs for weight loss. I have found Zevia sodas, and ginger seltzers that have helped a lot. you got this. i'll be praying for you.

21 days sober today for me! I’m never going back because I never found what I was looking for at the bottom of that bottle, it was never there, no matter how much I drank. Now, being sober, I found happiness and my relationship with my fiancé has never been better and I’m getting more stuff done around the house, it’s amazing what your body starts to feel like and what you can do when you abstain from alcohol as a lifetime choice.

Inspirational video! Quit drinking for 30 days and you will feel amazing! No hangovers and anxiety, your relationships will be better, your sleep will improve, you'll have more energy, more time to do things and the amount of money you will save will be insane. My best wishes to all of you trying to quit! Thanks for the motivating and helpful video Chris!❤👍

“You can’t see a jar’s label when you’re in the jar.” What a great metaphor, I haven’t heard that one before but it describes addiction perfectly.

12 days sober for me now. I spent $1300 on booze over Nov and Dec. Looking forward to staying sober, thinking better, losing weight, and saving money 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

I'm only on day 5 of my path of sobriety but want to continue on this path as long as possible, to afford myself the opportunity to notice how positive changes can occur, no matter how nuanced those improvements maybe day on day.

About 2 weeks in for sober-ish October.. my sleep is back to the way it used to be, with rich memorable dreams again! It feels like parts of my brain are unplugging, sort of the feeling when your ears pop after being plugged up!

Yes ...21 dayts Alcohol free. Feeling much better!

Made the decision today. I'm a weekend partier and guitar 🎸 is a major culprit in it. I think I need to give it up and sell them because of the influence it has on feeling loose and free while I play, but that's a ridiculous way to live.

Solid advice. 30 days is the perfect amount of time to see a real difference but not so long as to seem overwhelming.

Cheers, Steve. Wise words.

What I hate about the opiates that I used to use, the withdrawal from opiates and alcohol are benzos, you get like this type of PTSD from it, or your body starts to break out in a hot and cold sweat, and you start to think that withdrawal is right on the border, your body is so used to going through it that your subconscious pretty much puts on a withdrawal show for you when you're not even using, it's really tough to get past but eventually you train your subconscious to forget about it all, I know people tell you that you should never forget where you came from and that it can all spiral downwards again and that is true obviously, but you don't have to think about it every single day, if it comes up it comes up, if it doesn't just leave it be and stay sober❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ great video brother❤❤ I remember I used to have this weird addiction to after getting clean, the dopamine rush I would get naturally and the way music would sound again, the way I would feel, was like a whole high in itself being sober, that was one of the most beautiful things, of course it levels off eventually but man when you freshly get clean, that's where you want to really build that Foundation because you're now free and do not need to go backwards, relapse happens but don't let that phrase make you think it's okay if you're thinking about relapsing because that's what I used to tell myself, to justify my relapse but no not anymore you have to just hold yourself accountable and pretty much say yeah no this is definitely not going to work, I'm going to pretty much f*** myself if I pick up anything, some people I don't know how but they can do certain substances once in awhile but if you know you're an addict or a recovering addict, anything that involves a dopamine Rush stay away from it,

Thanks for the positive and non-judgmental video. I'm going to try 30 days starting now.

15 days today. Longest I’ve been with out alcohol in 19 years. I’ve already noticed some very positive effects.

6 days sober for me. I have capillaries in my nose and its blue in the cold

Struggling. I went from being a heavy drinker to quitting for a year and a half. Then I made that one mistake and got right back into it for a couple years. I’ve seen and felt the benefits but quitting this time feels impossible.

Dude same here. I have to give up all my guitars because come Friday after work and on Saturdays, I turn into Eddie Van Halen and the booze starts flowing and the guitar starts going. It's an unhealthy vice and hobby at this point.

30 days might not make you feel like a million bucks but you will at least feel like 500,000 ❤❤When I went on my little drink binge, I remember I would wake up probably around 5:30 in the morning even if I went to bed at 2, 12:00, no matter what time I would always wake up at that time not to pee just because I guess the blood sugar etcetera wakes me up, probably nocturnal hypoglycemia as well, it was like why is this happening? And then I stopped and it just got better day by day but it was definitely not restful sleep I'll tell you that much I mean yeah I guess but not really, now when I was like 15 getting the best sleep in my life I missed that but we also have to accept the fact that our sleep is never really going to be extra perfect that's what we always shoot for in addiction, to solve problems like sleep issues anxiety issues certain things, but it does not help in the long run, because then it becomes a long run😢

Red wine maybe rich in Polyphenols such as Resveratrol but then so are Grapes and Berries

@Lone_Star86

The ethonol destroys the resveratrol in red wine so this claim red wine is healthy is a marketing gimmick. Best way is just eat red grapes or blueberries or make a smoothie.

Allow me to add one more benefit, you will have way more energy/motivation to get stuff done.

Is it normal to get diarhea when giving up ?

Kombucha has alcohol

The red wine thing - it does contain *some* health benefits, but no more than plain grape juice. The alcohol content adds nothing to the benefits.
