..My girlfriend is 5 weeks, no booze. She is VERY tired all the time..I'd like to know when this stops..
Its not all because you stopped drinking alcohol over night. its because you became who you became overtime due to decision to stop drinking. See people dont understand that, they think it will all land on your lap once you stop.
What psychology and self help books did you read. ?
This video is so spot on!!! Like Jocko said, "Rome wasn't built Overnight ...we all Hear that...but it ALSO DIDNT FALL APART OVERNIGHT"!!! brick by brick decisions add up! Progress or Regress? Discipline is hard but what's really Hard is regret and shame and guilt...trust me, listen to Kevin!!! Thank you bro for all y'all Do to make humans reach their full Potential!!!
Only two directions you can go in life, forwards or back. You can't stay in the same place. 🙏
We should all strive to be the person who we really are....that is good enough......forget the potential ....just let go of the toxic positivity crap...just be a good person.....this will give you a chance to appreciate the world more and be in awe of the universe.
Heavy truth . I barely drink, maybe 2 beers on birthdays, and even like that i have a wasted day after that. Not worth it. Trickiest drug on the planet.
THIS SHOULD BE SHOWN IN SCHOOLS, instead of "i own the racecourse " or whatever.
Thanks Kev.
I know this feeling well. Growing up, becoming comfortable with myself and happy/proud of who I am in life allowed me to shed the need of alcohol in social situations.
Love your encouragement, love your energy man.. As old as you think you are you look strong my friend... There's a lot of us here supporting you my friend love and respect...
100k🎉😊
Not necessarily. I mean, sure, no hangovers, more money in my hands, and I got my physical health back. But depression and anxiety is worse. The exact reasons I drank are now staring at me in the face and it's so difficult when I work so hard, but other than achieving sobriety itself, my life is still shit
thank you thank you thank you~!
I didn't drink last night. And I was shockingly fine. Woke up today feeling like a new man, I really did. Got home from work and didn't even think about it and I drank a few beers. I stopped(not liking how I felt), and now I know that sobriety from alcohol is going to happen for me. 39 years old, never been arrested or anything bad like that because of booze, but I'm just fucking done with it. Thank you Kevin. I've been wanting to do this for 5+ years now. Wish me luck friends!
Definitely wish you luck 👍
@@jimconnell8994 thank you
Hey Kevin, imagine this , since I stop drinking ( 4 yrs approx) re did my roof,,changed all windows,,re tiled the entire house, resprayed and overall the car, still have savings, plus I’m in good health at last…. Thanks for the videos bud. Onwards upwards
It's so great to be free of the alcohol cycle and everything that goes with it. 16 months sober and lovin' it, I don't get cravings whatsoever and enjoy telling people who offer me alcohol that I don't drink.
Yes i am because i also drive with a car no matter how drunk i am … i feel ashamed for doing so. Luckily I never had any accidents or got anyone hurt in the process…
Congrats on the 11 years :) i am at 9,5 years sobriety and also still learning. A good motivation for me was in the first 0-4 months to make a check mark on a calendar for every day that i not have a drink, to see the progress visually is really motivating. I still have "problems" in life but i am always better off without alcohol. From day 1 i allowed myself to drink but i made every time the consciousness decision to not do it simply because i know alcohol will never be a solution to anything ever!. I love to connect to people without being intoxicated, i love to wake up without a terrible hangover, i love to not have stomach problems, i love that i reduce a lot of risk to get diseases like cancer or make stupid decisions while intoxicated.
Hi Kevin sir. Quit at 42 but now heavily addicted to nicotine. Kindly start some videos regarding quitting smoking.
Hi…. Buy Alan Carr’s easy way to quit smoking… I have quit 4 months back…. Bhalo theko
Thx for the mention Kev...I have you to thank for my new life w/o alcohol , 31 months A/F anniversary in 2 days ! 🙂👍
Great to hear, Rolland :)
awesome! Love how you write A/F anniversary. 6 1/2 mo A/F here 🙏🏻
Thank you Kevin for these videos. I’m 6 months sober now. For a 2-3 years before I quit I would often times hear a small part of my consciousness say: I don’t wanna do this (drink) anymore. Meaning a part of me had the clarity to know I should stop but the other parts of me didn’t want to.
Thank you Kevin for spreading the word about the price we pay for the abuse that alcohol does to our body and minds. I started drinking when I was 16 and did not stop until I was admitted to the hospital in Dec.2020 and had a liver transplant in Jan.2021. 44 years of drinking poison and I was a week from death. I had a job with the same company for 34 years but as I got older I could not recover and I finally had to face the music. God bless everyone who struggles with this. Please stop before its too late., I was lucky
Resolve is never greater than the morning after the night it was never weaker.
Thank you Kevin. Watch you everyday before AA.
I was very good at telling myself that it wasn’t that bad . This kept me so trapped because I believed the story I was telling myself . It took me around 10 years of bullshit , wasted time , poor decisions, blaming others , bad behaviour , and that poor old me mentality. Until I said to myself righto I’m done . It’s up to me now . I’m going to show me the real me . I’m going to dig deep and fight like hell to just be me . And , I am ! I’m doing it because I wanted something better , something to really strive for .. something to authentically live for . To just be free ! Thanks Kev , you’re a bloody legend mate .
It's a great feeling, Johnny
This is me at the moment. I’ve got sober and started antidepressants along with starting a journey in bodybuilding, but It’s just filling the time in between. I feel apathy with no desire to do anything during the day after my workout. Cravings are present telling me just go for ‘one’ at the pub, it just won’t happen.
Anti depressants are worse than alcohol. You might kill yourself or someone you love on those things
Stockholm syndrome. It makes sense to me. I had to be admitted to the hospital after another relapse. I'm not proud of myself. I have to keep trying or i might as well yive up for good. Theres only one outcome and that's deth.
Perfectly put.....speed worked better..
For me, same end result...self-inflicted fucked up in the brain.
Where is the first video you made?

Very soothing voice
So true! If I felt the need to drink to be more social and outgoing then maybe that's not who I am anyway. Im accepting I dont want to be super social, talkative and outgoing all the time. I am what I am. Settle in and make peace with that. Over 18 months sober now.
My fears are basically of failure and more importantly not being able to cope with life's problems and discomfort. I've been using alcohol for 40 years to get a relief at the end of the day.
This is the reason I started drinking in 1964, I was very shy. I was 18years old. I took a drink WOW!!! I wasn`t shy , I had found the cure. If one is shy and self conscious just let life itself and experience of living allow yourself to grow out of it. If you use alcohol as a quick fix, it is a false cure that will eventually turn being self conscious to being self loathing. Life itself is the cure , a life of sobriety is the BIG FIX!!!!!!!!! It took a misused life of misery and despair , for me to get that into my knucklehead, I was sure a dumb bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Women growing up faster than men is a total myth. I agree though as someone who was and still is socially awkward that alcohol sure seemed to solve a lot of my problems when it came to talking to not just girls but people in general.
I can only go on my own experience. I've 4 brothers and 4 sisters. The girls grew up much quicker than any of the lads. Most of the lads are still grown up children if I'm honest.
Growing up where I did and when I did my parents and friends socialised at the pub or at parties. 70s and 80s were something else. Stealing alcohol and smokes as kids was par for the course of growing up. No blame, just the way it was. Not very healthy at all 🤦
Yup I had social anxiety problems probably brought on by my porn addiction that lead to my alcoholism
This literally describes me when I was younger. I was shy so I drank to loosen up but would say and do stupid things while drinking.
My wife left me 20 years ago couldn't sleep working 7 days a week after a yeat i turned to alcohol to cope. Hes right when you've done it for 16 years its hard to see your way out qhen i quit i was so tired all the time barely sleeping. Its a terrible disease that offers no satisfaction only more hurts
I fear lil less each month. 10 years
When I quit it took 10 years to finally expose and accept that my entire family were drunks
until 43 yrs old I would have little to no alcohol. I was always the designated driver, the responsible one. at age 43 my husband passed away and I did what he was doing and went full on in a bottle of wine.why? because I could and I should... I was an adult and I can do whatever I wanted to. I made myself an alcoholic by daily doses and eventually tolerance to a lot of alcohol for my body, not on purpose but the caring went out the window for sure. so I do have the ability to know what it was like before drinking daily. over 10 months now and I still battle can I moderate? I know the answer is no. I no longer have that privilege.i am not capable of that occasional drink. thanks for the reminder
Drinking for 38 years with the last 12 years daily. A recent medical showed warning signs and a major wake up call. It's time to turn my life around. Day 1
Your videos have helped me SO MUCH.. Thank you.. you are helping many people...😊 It's really a great thing you are doing 😊 best from Nina from Denmark
I'm struggling to face the idea of not drinking socially and celebratorially, pubs, mates, parties events, the lot. I binge drink heavily when I get going tho, with days even weeks of sobriety in between to piece it all back together again, but due to other people close to me telling me directly and problems I have had due to my over drinking, a serious personal injury last year being one of them, plus as countless arguments and embarressments with people I care about, I feel I need to stop. It's strange why I find this so scary, I know I am not addicted to it, but obviously my personality and mental make up just isn't suited to this which has come about in my 30s, 20s did t present these issues. Now at the age of 37 I am hoping to make a year off the booze and see where I am afterwards, your videos have been the best I can find to make that seem managable and are filling me with confidence for this new goal. I did 3 months before with your help and it felt good but I saw it as mission accomplished, now I am right back where I started again just with a metal plate and 10 screws in my leg to underline that fact. I want to totally reform my relationship with the sauce and who knows, maybe that will be as you say something I don't miss. Wish me luck and thanks again Kevin great work
Best decision I ever made. Be aware that you will lose a lot of Friends. To continue, stay alchol free, you will need to ghost friends who are enablers. Be prepared to make new friends.
Agreed. Only regret that I didn't do it sooner.
