I’ve seen quite a few “you must stop drinking” videos. Aside from the obvious physical benefits of sobriety, this video expresses exactly what the real issue is with staying sober; that is, the emotional component. That really is the bottom line. This articulates that better than anywhere I have seen. Thank you…this has been very helpful. I have subscribed.

Well said and clear 👏

For me, a sober person would drive somewhere late at night

This is so great. Thank you. 40 days sober today. The craving or desire for alcohol has been removed. Thank God. I cry every day. Not all day, but still. It's like WTF? Feel like I have the emotional maturity of a 10 year old and I'm 46. Grateful to be given an opportunity to become a better person and to grow, but it sucks right now. Anyways, love your videos and content! ❤

Pitch Perfect!!

Pitch Perfect!!

Interesting conversation. I'm 68, and recently (May 2024) celebrated 30 years of continuous sobriety. At times, I wonder how in the hell my life has become what it is...but I DO know exactly how! The two most critical events were a "surrender" of the "complete abandon" variety, and the "willingness" to resign from the debating committee. Everything since then has been about growing emotionally in sobriety, NOT "not drinking". Dr. Sarah mentioned the word "authentic", which is primarily what prompted me to respond. The gifts of the fellowship are many, and some way beyond anything I could have imagined. For the most part, I know who I am today which includes understanding that I am a flawed human being. My focus, however, is living to good purpose, and standing on "principles before personalities". It has allowed me to pass on the co-dependency, and be true to myself. It's been and still is the greatest adventure of my life! Thank you Veronica and Sarah! 🙂 Mark

How do I find the Facebook group please? I believe this is the key to my new life x

That’s a terrific way of explaining it. At one time I would have the beer/red wine AND the sandwiches 😂😂😂. Now I would give them both a miss as my body is more important to me.

Love the term; soberful/grateful! So from now on I’ll be soberful/grateful for every good thing. Thank you 😊 for this podcast, I’m on the way ❤

Since I quit there is no way I would go back for the sleep alone. I feel really strong and rested in the mornings and zero brain fog or anxiety.

Okay; my name is Joy! People always tell me I’m a joy … I do have a lot of love and appreciation for life in general but ever struggling with the desire to chill and zone out! Probably for the last 45 years on and off! This is the first podcast that has impacted me; making me that perhaps it’s time. Time to get honest and be present. Thank you both so much for the support and encouragement! ❤☺️🙏

Loved this interview

Wheres the book ?

Oh my girl. Get some counseling. Hunter is a lying corrupt Biden Regime. It’s sad that you are obliviously still in love with him He is not a good person.

Congrats 🎉so great! What did you like to drink?

So very true!!

Totally identify with every word! Sober since July 5th🙏🏻

How old were you when you quit?

Fab lady ❤

This podcast is bringing me lots of Joy! It’s like hosting two lovely and charming guests in my living room for a morning coffee. Very warm and cozy.

Love your podcasts. Bandwidth made so much make sense to me. Thank you. I’ve heard you talk about this several times

Thank you Veronica ❤️🥲

Just ordered your book. I’ve decided to embrace sobriety and I’m grateful for this kind of content!

This women is ridiculous. I know many people that drink non alcoholic cocktails. It’s a special treat for Sunday dinners and with friends. They taste great. They still have calories so not an everyday beverage France just released some wines❤ it’s instead of alcohol. They are marketing to non drinkers. She is being dishonest. No one is drinking any non or regular alcohol. She is trying to make drama

Theo Von said the same thing... drinks lead to cocaine

It’s crazy how all these things seem universal. Exactly like my alcoholic fiancé was . It made me so sad to be so helpless to help him and watch him slowly milking himself

The mommy wine culture was here in 1995. All of my neighborhood mommies did cookie exchanges while the kiddos were at kindergarten and so on. Wine was everywhere. All us yuppy mamas.

They guy really talks about sex a lot. Wonder what that’s about

American former drinker here, in my drinking days, my wife and I were in London. Stopped by a pub on the way off the subway (tube?). In the early afternoon we witnessed an Ambulance and police pull two drunken fighters out of the pub, before we actually entered, with blood everywhere. Too early in the afternoon for Americans. We stopped by the next day to chat with a South African who had only lived in the UK for a relatively short time but regaled us with storys of running into fight after fight at all hours in London. During my long drinking career not seen the like in the states, certainly not that early in the day. Lots of alcoholic pent up anger in London then.

My drinking life started like yours. I was 15 and found the magic potion to make me feel like I was enough. It took me 45 years to stop. And here I am, 4 years sober, still learning how to navigate feelings.

Sexy!!!

For some its all our nothing. If you could control it, you wouldn't be in this predicament.

"Go to meetings, clean house, and help others". Simple! The three keys to a life of abundance! Mark : )

Loved this podcast. I've listened to Veronica's podcast for almost a year, am sober for 6 months, and a recovering co-dependent. This discussion resonated with me in so many ways. Thank you, Veronica and Dr. Marchaud, and I will definitely check out the book.

I have listened to many here on here about drinking problems and trying to stop. But this video was by far the best and most complete I have ever heard. It nails it right on the head. This was me to a tee. Wow, so glad this popped up. Had never heard of you before, but am subscribing it was so good. By the way, I am now 18 years alcohol free. This explained why I felt the need to drink. Thank you again and you’re right. Life is better 💪

❤💛🧡💚💙💜🤍

My outcome = to develop skills to cope with life's crap ! 💜💜💜

Yes indeed. This is so true. I have tried to stop so many times. I have come to realize that I have to like myself first. I drink wine to be the life of the party but it is to hide that I don’t even know who I am. I am an older woman still looking for herself, yet it is easier to drink to numb myself with people or even alone. I drink regularly 3 glasses of wine a day , maybe more. I decided to stop, am 30 hours sober ( yes only that but one has to start somewhere) And I found your podcast that is really talking to me. Thank you 🙏

Young bodies can often function and drink poison. I have a similar life to Julie's, now at 68 yr. and retired from my real estate career, I'm much happier sober. I sleep better, exercise more, find myself emotionally present in my relationships, and I'm taking better care of myself. The way society normalizes drinking poison is sad... reminds me of when the adults in my life smoked in our house, car, their offices, church coffee hour... every where all the time. I use an app called Reframe. There are probably other apps but I found this one to be helpful.

1 month sober & feeling fantastic! I can relate to this!

Fantastic episode! I’m only 7 days sober and my husband is still drinking heavily despite promising to sober up with me. He doesn’t sabotage me and is supportive. Thanks for the amazing content!

When I started drinking at 15, I finally felt like I fit in. People liked me because I got to their level. I've done booze whenever I've moved, because that's what I knew and, honestly I've met great people in bars. And I agree , it's not who am. Thank you for being so honest. I have felt it too.

I’m on a new journey trying to figure out if should quit entirely or cut drastically back. My journey is unique to me but this video hits home more than all the others I’ve watched. Thank you!

Oh crap yes, fooling different groups. We are too kind

Shit, true..me too

Has anyone ever told Chip he reminds them of Alan Rick man? Great podcast.

I've known I had a problem with alcohol at 17, I'm 54 now. I've had dry spells and that's the best times of my life. But the shit always pulls me back😢. It works, as long as I'm drunk I'm not depressed 😔
