Nice podcast you and Matt wilpers were great !

Not drinking is one of the greatest gifts one can give themselves and their loved ones 💪✝ Keep it up Rich !

Great podcast. I am 42 with 3! boys! under 6 so I really appreciate your perspective. I'm getting back into golf and Jon's content is so helpful. Mostly for me is expectations, which I'm letting filter through to all areas of my life. Thanks for this episode.

Wine = Domaine Wednesdays. Their red tastes JUST like proper wine. Good for dinner parties when you feel you ought to drink vino. I ordered off the internet

I see this is the PG version, probably just for the weekend drinker. Well, for those of us who were heavier drinkers, you're promoting throat, stomach, pancreas, colon, and a slew of other cancers for yourself. Alcohol increases your blood pressure. It destroys your pancreas and promotes diabetes. It messes up your stomach biom and flora. Also destroys the lining of your intestines so ulcers.

I don't drink anymore. I don't watch sports. I don't consume frivolous sugar ("mocktails"). I don't eat pizza. I don't drink unfiltered water (if I can help it). I don't read fiction (this is probably unhealthy....but, it's due to my need for "improvement"....meaning: I don't think that I am "good enough" as I currently am...) As I make these good, self-care, choices, I sure do feel like I am choosing my own loneliness. I guess it's lonely at the top because no one else is willing to be as disciplined as I am. I feel better. I am more aware of myself, my feelings, my emotions, etc. I think my life has improved as a non-drinker. I work out much more regularly than I ever have. I complete tasks better. I think I'm just run down today....no real point to my writing. Have a great day!

Just finished a 00 Peroni and can highly recommend this Italian beer.

With your buddies imbibing on your stash, do you find yourself needing to make late night non-alcohol beer runs? 😅

A great interview! Love Cole’s gems 💪

Thanks for a great video Greg. I'm been sober for only 3 weeks but the changes are so wonderful. I was blowing off 30% of my workouts by being hungover, the other 70% were done in varying degrees of "not feeling 100%"....that is in the past! I'm already leaning out and my training is super focused. I'm 65 yrs old and so excited to embrace the future sober.

65yrs old here...3 weeks sober and not going back....I still (out of habit) find myself going to the bar a few days a week (I drink Athletic NA IPA)....but what I've found is most of the people there are clowns...now that I'm not drinking I feel like the only thing we had in common was getting drunk!

Thanks a lot for all this very useful and trailblazing advice!

September 1 is one year for myself, a decade of trying, I don't miss anything about drinking!they get us when we're young like McDonald's!

Alcohol! The BIG LIE- Its poison in a pretty package.

3 weeks sober. Don't like it. Would not recommend

Your an absolute idiot!!❤ If you’ve decided not to drink!🤷‍♂️ are you actually that insecure so you need to then buy alcohol free drinks that actually are marketed at people like you who obviously arnt strong enough to say FUCKIT IM NOT DRINKING!! Have a lime soda or decent juice !

I was the 365th 👍 that's God speaking to me thank you brother

Wonderful interview. Very illuminating. Thank you!

Great interview. (Please lose the very annoying music at the beginning.)

Word brah!!!

Try Vinada

Warning… You will get fat off carby non-alcoholic beverages. Drink club soda with a lime if you don’t want to get fat. You can’t outrun carbs. I work out with weights, spin bike yoga and drink sparkling water.

@denismorton my favorite ride of yours is the WHITE STRIPES ride. OMG that is freaking amazing.

Weird. Recommending not drinking but promoting non alcoholic drinks. Not good to still taste something similar and not healthy drinks either 😕 the rest was good though

If I start drinking non alcoholic margaritas or beers it’s going to trigger me to drink

Excellent video ! There seems to be a broad range of differences of opinion with drinking AF drinks. I find that really cool as it confirms we are all different .. We are entitled to have different views and beliefs ( limiting or not) so that’s great awareness of how humans operate , basically from a set of beliefs formed by experiences . For me , Alcohol free beers ( especially the Guinness zero ) has been a game changer .. As I do enjoy the “taste” of the odd cold beer but when the buzz never comes I don’t crave another one , or the one after or the one after that. Why ? Because there is no Alcohol in it and Alcohol is a DRUG which sets up the constant chase of that initial “buzz” .. However the buzz that never comes like the buzz that “does” with the one that contains Alcohol .. Absolute Game changer once I understood this .. Whatever works for you is the best and sober living is simply the best life …

“Simplicity is velocity” is such a gem!

I am sober for getting on for 3650 days and I don't accept there isn't a cost that comes with sobriety. Sober people are boring to intoxicated people - they are more cautious, more conservative, less humorous and less fun. In my experience you simply have to accept that your drinking buddies won't like the boring sober new you and once the realise there is no way you are going back to drinking - they will stop seeking out your company and inviting you to parties etc. The harsh truth is your social life takes a hit when you give up drinking. On the subject of alcohol free beers I would urge caution. Alcohol free beer and wine are great for people who are confidently established in a non- drinking lifestyle but people who are in the early days of making the transition should avoid them. If on your first day of sobriety you go to your usual bar with your usual drinking companions your first drink might well be non-alcoholic but I doubt all the subsequent beers will be alcohol free. In the early days of sobriety pubs, bars and even restaurants are best avoided.

568 days alcohol free here and absolutely thriving. I love non alcoholic beers and wines, even a sugar free Red Bull is a treat for me. My wife and I still do bar crawls but have non alcoholic beers at each one. Granted we're not out until 3am anymore, but it's still going out and you realise being around people, listening to music and experiencing the atmosphere is a big part of a fun night out and what you're drinking is actually a very small part of it.

I remember when Denis hit the studio at Peloton. Such a great guy!

Number 2 7 & 8 for me big time! Its been about 180 days for me as well. I'm loving it! Ganna keep it going!!

Golf is like football: Your Driver and your ball striking is your QB Your short game is defense and special teams If you dont have a QB, you dont have a chance. It doesnt matter how good the other stuff is.

Regarding #4. I looked back through my life and realized that I have done a lot of crazy stuff. Half of it I did when I was drunk. The other half when I was completely sober. So I am just as interesting sober as I am drunk. 6 weeks sober right now and gonna keep going.

I did two months completely off alcohol. I could definitely see some benefits although nothing earth shattering. Quitting completely forever wasn’t for me but 6 months later I drink far far less - can realise suddenly I have been going a couple of weeks without it and I don’t even notice, that would never have happened previously.

I'm 70 y.o., and not much of a party guy. I USED TO like a couple shots of whiskey or dark rum in the evening, and would drink a few beers when going downtown to hear live music. I'm now a little over the six-month mark with no alcohol. It's surprisingly easy to go alcohol-free. Your social scene changes though, usually for the better!

There is a case to be made to not drink non alcoholic beer. It’s a lot like the real thing. Be careful guys.

I find it just gets better and better. After 3 mos I started to be able to make other changes. People tell me 6 mos is special and you only really see the big picture then. If you’ve been drinking hard for many years just take the first 90days to do your one job: don’t drink. You can lose the weight or train for a marathon after than.

I’m guessing my phone saw I discovered athletic brewing company and then poof this video comes up. Day 5 of no drinking and AB is seriously making me feel that much more ready to make this a full commitment

I think it's important to understand the classification of Drinker here now I may be wrong but to me it sounds like the guy in the video is probably more of a social drinker which is a very different Drinker than someone who drinks specifically to get drunk and to escape reality like my old friend who sadly is now passed away who literally used to drink Vodka straight out of the bottle like water no mixer no beer none of that crap just straight vodka vodka doesn't even have a flavor he was drinking to get drunk

I tried many of the near beers and he's right most of them taste pretty close to beer but here's the problem and I just come out and say it I don't drink beer because I love the taste of beer I don't know anybody that loves the taste of beer I drink beer to get drunk lol to alter my reality and I can guarantee you that if you never drink the beer in your life and you drink a non-alcoholic beer you would ask yourself why and who the hell would ever drink a product like this because for the most part beer is nasty You're basically drinking wheat water

I would like to correct something you said and I've done some research on this The reason people eat on healthy food when drinking or eat. It's not necessarily because you have lost your willpower no it actually is because alcohol just like marijuana activates the part of your brain that regulates hunger so it's not that you're making a bad decision to eat pizza you are actually hungry you actually want food and if it's late at night your choices and food are going to probably limited to pizza and bar food but it's not because you just don't have willpower or you make poor decisions while drinking no it's been scientifically proven that alcohol and marijuana stimulate the part of your brain that regulates hunger so you are actually hungry when you drink or smoke pot or at least your brain believes you're hungry

I think I’m on day 146. This guys right about EVERYTHING.

So you quit drinking but now your substituting and still drinking everything else.just stay away from it.

This is bs ... if ur looking for another addiction ....ur wasting time .....🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿

I am a little over a year sober now too. I still can't drink non alcoholic beer, wine, or cocktails because it just reminds me too much of the real thing and makes me crave it. It is also kind of expensive. I choose to not drink those but quitting alcohol has been great. It took me 13 months to get back to my healthy weight after my last bender. That is how bad alcohol is for you. But, I feel a lot better now, I have more money, and I get better sleep. I also like to spend time with people instead of just isolating. AA also works for me. I go everyday.

Sincere congratulations for a year of sobriety. I quit drinking eight years ago after drinking for fifty years with the last thirty-five years drinking excessively every day. In your early sobriety you have a great insight to alcoholism. Anyone who tries to believe if they were to return to drinking and miraculously become a social drinker will shortly lead to relapsing

Never heard the term zebra stripes but that’s me right now , 70 drinking days or so since i started to quit last April. I wish I could flat out quit , this honestly has been the most solid video that hits home for me since I started. It’s just down to earth and not over the top. Thanks

I was a binge drinker for 50 years. I had the will to stop drinking but there was the annoying daily craving to enjoy some beer especially after work or at gatherings. I went to my doctor and was prescribed 50mg naltrexone. Naltrexone turns off the circuit in my brain that craves alcohol and almost immediately lost the cravings allowing me to fully detox. Weight loss has been the only side effect. 30 days later, I'm back to my former self and if I want to enjoy a craft beer at the restaurant I simply take a pill an hour before. Naltrexone blocks the euphoria of alcohol but not the flavor. I'm still exploring the zero beers but haven't found one that compares to my favorite craft beers. If you're struggling to stop drinking, I recommend seeing a medical professional.

FRE is an "alcohol removed" wine I got from Kroger.

I am on day 391. Still rocking it!
