It wasn't a new years resolution either. I thought I was having a heart attack the day I quit. I may have even had a minor one. who knows. But that did it for me.

I've worked out consistently for years and got in decent shape but I've never been able to take my body to the next level. Also my weekends are very non productive from wanting to do nothing but sit around and drink. Been watching a lot of vids last few days on quitting so here I go again.

Seven weeks sober and very bored and compfused. I don't know how long I'm going to do this for, but it does feel great all the way around. Getting great rest. Love those teas, sleepy time and green tea. I really enjoy guys like you sharing your experience. It tells me that I'm not alone worth this experience.

Thank you again for sharing your experience, its a big support for idiots like me. One big thing that I've been doing also that has helped me is staying in prayer. I ask for help and support from the allmighty. Best wishes to all people that are in this journey.

I’m at 40 days today! It’s like a different world that I’m learning to navigate, but I love. Everyday really is a new adventure. Thank you for sharing!

18th February 2019 the last time I touched a drop of alcohol - I never ever thought I would be able to do it. I agree with everything you say it’s about re-wiring your brain and living and embracing life without alcohol - break the illusion - and start to live - Alan Carr’s Easy way to control Alcohol saved me from my addiction.

I'm 2 weeks sober today after drinking between 221-310 units a week. I feel so lucky and so looking forward to life without that toxic stuff in it.

2 weeks in at the moment, feeling pretty rough and have been having strong urges to go and sink a beer or 10. Seeing videos like this makes me want to keep going. I'm also journaling my progress, this seems to make me more accountable to myself, I dread the thought of waking in the morning to write "Days sober: 0" and so I keep going. Thanks for taking the time to go over why it is worth continuing, appreciate this and wish you the best moving forward.

Not sure how much your intake was per day or week but you do feel better after a few weeks but your liver will keep improving over the next several months. Keep at it.

About to take the leap. This video and the comment section really gives more confidence in my decision. Thanks yall

Good luck Aaron. I'm only on day 2 after finding out I've damaged my liver after drinking for 25 years. Big wake up call. All the best to you🙂

Some days or every day make it your job not to drink . Tomorrow will always be better without alcohol and if it isn’t down the road … we’ll we know the booze will be there . But we can succeed at our job not to drink…. One day at a time . It’s a comfort to know there are many others who feel like you but they have reached many days and years free and happy …. patience with ourselves 1 hour at a time will turn into days ,weeks, and more freedom than we can know …..

Really put things in more perspective and knowing about the more in tune you get as time goes on, dead on. I’m off now and won’t be back on. Since xmas and feel beter each day

You are fabulous! I thank the universe for guiding me to you. You popped up out of the blue. I just want to share that I feel sad and disappointed at having wasted decades of my life, of my creativity, through heavy drinking. You simply won’t believe how long I’ve been drinking ...- all my life. From Irish stock and every relative drinking Guinness I started very early indeed. I’m in my 60s now! God definitely must have a plan for me because I’m still here very healthy... liver lungs heart in great shape and now my mind - so clear. I have an unshakable faith and I’m excited about finishing my creative projects and am so inspired by your naturally positive outlook and life style through your wise choice. This is such a huge step for me and I’m only on my 15th day……!! I’m feeling some incredible unforeseen benefits already. Thanks again. To your good health!

Drinking caused me to lose an amazing gf and an amazing job. My new years res to go cold turkey.

You didnt need her anyway. Stay strong brother.

The last time I was intoxicated I fell down the stairs while carrying firewood to the woodstove in the basement. I smashed my head open and totally passed out. It was January 11th 2017. I was helicoptered to Dartmouth hospital in Lebanon NH from my home in Littleton NH. Nobody thought I would survive - doctors, nurses, therapists, friends and family. I had 3 brain surgeries. I was in the hospital for a year and could not even walk. Age 56. Fortunately strong as an ox from a lifetime of heavy weightlifting and hiking in these rugged mountains. I remembered nothing during that full year and I did not even know where I lived. When I got back home I could only walk a hundred yards using a walker. Slowly graduating to using a beaver cut staff and going further. I now had epilepsy and 6 siezers. Now I walk without help a couple of miles on these mountain trails, a bit unsteady on roots and rocks whereas before I often bushwacked into remote areas with pack and rifle. I shall continue to get better. A year ago I started weightlifting again - before my injury I was very near the NH state bench press record for my age and weight. 5 years ago I had bought several hundred bitcoin at $250 each. I sold half of them for $2 MILLION US dollars after tax. Everybody meets with challenges in life - they can take you down or cause you to overcome in ways that are stronger than ever. This is me. I shall and am coming back whatever may.

@Perry M sounds like Forrest Gump

This is totally me. It makes me feel somewhat better that I'm not the only one who experienced this and actually made it out on the other side. I wanna get to the point of not drinking at all. This is day 2 and counting. I know its not much but its a start

Also you will never sweat a DUI again.

2 and a half weeks in. But I've been here and further before. It's the random euphoria, the peace and calm that comes over you. How much of a better husband and father I am.

This is the most authentic and factual account of the horror of alcohol/addiction. I say that not just from a personal perspective, simply from know 1000's of family, friends, colleagues and other people who chose the wise course to quit alcohol. "Everything" in moderation, except for addictions, there's 100's of them, we're all human. Peace of mind comes from within not from a bottle.

11 days been clean, 4 days in fallen ill, everyday gets better. Thank you for the cast.

Today is my 1️⃣ 3️⃣ days Sober... I fell a few changes in my self... The main things feel positive.

Two months sober so far. One of my best decisions ever. More clear and energy. Hitting the gym daily and eating healthy food.

I'm almost 3 months in. The physical effect is amazing but the emotional struggles are another story. I realized I was numbing my suffering and anxiety that I wasn't even aware of and that all the drinking was coming from huge childhood trauma that im trying to deal with now through therapy but that is the hardest part of it but it worths every penny and all the energy I'm dedicating to it. I believe in a better tomorrow. Reading people going through the same is helping a lot ❤

Thank you for the great video. This really hit home for me I'm going on 7 weeks sober and I can't remember ever feeling this good. I'm 45 and I feel like I have a new lease on life I don't need alcohol I'm so much better without it.

God bless man. 27 jealous jackasses that can’t respect the awesome work you have done. You have my respect I’ll tell you that much. Stay healthy 👍

Came here for research on a school project and now I want to give up casual drinking 😳

Congratulations

Love his channel. The way he puts everything in perspective and clear is amazing. I went through the same thing he explains. Seizures, acute withdrawals, pancreatitis, liver problems, months with no sleep, insomnia, anxiety issues, HBP, hairloss, deliriums, hallucinations, and also anorexia. I was an athlete and lost opportunities to be a pro and lost countless dream jobs. I cried numerous times and felt shame in my relationships and even around family.

Thanks for your summary

Every word of this rings true. Especially when he says you can’t imagine life without booze can be better. I’m not long into sobriety but my life is already better in countless ways.

I started drinking when I was 12 years old and didn't quit until 9 years ago. Congratulations on your sobriety brother.

After 20 years of drinking heavy everyday. On 19 days now. Wish me luck guys!!

Very articulate young man. I really enjoyed listening to your journey through 15 positive outcomes of not drinking. 4 years have passed since that video. I hope you are still on the wagon and living your best life.

6:27 this is so true. After alcohol I became like a child fascinated by many topics and the simplest of things and often have a sense of calm and control and warmness inside.

In my late 60s and have been on a rollercoaster ride with alcohol my entire adult life. It's a daily process for me to stay focused and keep alcohol out of my body. I'm never going to give up. I know if I do the work I will be free. Sober today!!❤

I immediately liked the tone of the video. I "stopped" 3 months ago with 4 exceptions totalling 9 small drinks. I treat them as "accidents" not "drinking in moderation" or any other kind of "management"

Been sober 2 years and this video described my life exactly how it was and how it's changed for the better, until you' have this poison out your life you can't appreciate how good life can be, look forward to more content

The best benefit of not drinking is the money you save, and also being alive to spend it on amazing things, like travel, home, pets, cars, nice clothes, good food & anything that adds to life, but does not take away. Peace and serenity to you, oh & don’t forget to breathe

Just found this video.. 5 days sober this is so relatable 🥰

41 days sober today but still need to work on exercising, I have gained weight and have not felt that good sleep yet. I am a work in progress. Lol.

I've been sober a while and I could relate to virtually every single point u raised. The fear I had to not drink, was the main driving factor behind it and now through help like this, realising and relishing the benefits of not drinking I'm building strength to ensure I never go down that road again! A very honest account of what a life without booze could be, anyone that is still struggling with alcohol should certainly take some comfort from knowing what life they could achieve by not drinking! Very articulate and well thought out thank u so much!
