I’m pretty sure I drink out of boredom. I’m 77 limits with income don’t drive at night . Drinking is easy

Owww I know

I went almost three weeks sober now I’m drinking again. Not sure what happened.😢

Thank you!! This is so great that I had to share it with friends! 14 months sober over here and so much of what you said is spot on and extremely inspiring. Appreciate it!!

Your videos are amazing. Can't quite pull the trigger on quitting. But, I'm getting close. Thank you.

Very interesting and extremely useful

I love the focus on consistency over intensity.

I'm in my late 60s and I' ve been on and off as a ' normal' drinker in the UK and have read every book and most other big TH-camrs since 2012. I'm in the UK and am going to the group that isn't the first letter of the alphabet. I have to say that you have knocked it out of the park on this one. Best wishes Veronica!

It's great to see you both. Thank you for all of your support, wisdom, insights and advice this year. Blessings to you both and your families at this time.

Thank you Veronica. I'm on day 77 of my sobriety journey. A regular at AA meetings which are helping me tremendously. I've been bingeing on your channel which I've just discovered this weekend. I'm blessed that none of my circle of friends are excessive drinkers like I was and along with my wife are very supportive of my recovery. I never hit rock bottom, no DUI's, no jail, no rehab but I felt stressed at work and as a secretive drinker I was contemplating drinking on the job. This thought was my wake up call to finally do something about my addiction after 45 years. I'm currently working on my emotional sobriety and balance and I'm finding your videos very inspirational and helpful. Question/ is your book available on amazon as an ebook? Thank you very much for what you've done for me so far.

I can relate to Julie's story so much. I'm a 58yo male, 77 days sober. Never had DUI's, never went to jail but just felt what I was doing was wrong! Some may say I'm not a true alcoholic but I knew I had to change otherwise I was ready to start drinking before work. Fortunately I never hit rock bottom but I could definitely see it from where I was at. The 12 steps are really helping me now. It's a lot of work but I'm determined to make it as a much better, free person. Congratulations to Julie

Your content is wonderful. Kisses from Brazil

Hi Veronica, I just stumbled onto your videos as they came into my feed yesterday. Thankyou so much for all you're doing to help alcoholics stay sober. I'm on day 77 now, going to AA religiously. I'm grateful that my wife and all our friends are all very moderate drinkers who never get drunk and are very supportive of my sobriety. I don't miss alcohol at all and thanks to your words I'm now working on my emotional sobriety. Thanks for mentioning that some people will try to sabotage my sobriety as it's happening in my working life right now. I now realise that I was an alcoholic from my very 1st drink at the age of 13. It's taken me 45 years to realise I have a problem and through Gods grace I'm very grateful to finally be able to do something about it. Gonna keep watching your videos now, very helpful. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Guy in his mid 60’s here. Just wanted to thank you, ladies for sharing your stories. You have no idea how helpful they have been for me getting off of alcohol. And listening to the tales of pain and anguish, I have been able discover that…Someone understands.

All addictions (food/alcohol/drugs) are tools to deal with "Arrested Development". Think it thru follow it back and you will remember the day, crystal clear. Until you do so you will not be free of the bondage. Your learning ability in all things will be hindered.

What about you feel ok when not drinking, but drinking makes u feel even better?!

THANK YOU FOR THESE SOBRIETY VIDEOS I HAVE BEEN SOBER SINCE MARCH 6-2020 AND I STILL LOVE WATCHING SOBRIETY VIDEOS!!! VERONICA YOU HAVE BEEN ON POINT WITH ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!! EVERY TIME YOU MAKE ONE I SAID THAT WAS ME BACK THEN STRUGGLING WITH THAT POISON!!! VERONICA THANK YOU AGAIN!!!🙏🏽❤️😇❤️

Fantastic video. Day one for me.

I’ve been in no man’s land for 3 months - no booze, not craving it, but not feeling like the world is a great place without it. Sticking with it and hoping the clouds will eventually part

This resonates a lot. Please keep them coming Veronica!

This is great stuff. It's a shame it's taken me over six decades to realise it but needs must. Study time!

I cannot drink moderately! Maybe I’ll have two glasses of wine on a Friday. Then I think “oh wow, I only had two and then went home”. But then I’ll end up blacking out on Saturday because I thought I was a moderate drinker lol Your videos are a godsend Veronica! Thank you!

Admitting I was an alcoholic I experienced all the feelings you’re talking about. One of the most powerful aspects of community, like the one I found in AA, is realizing that others can relate to my experiences and emotions. This shared understanding can be incredibly comforting and validating. Sometimes, talking about them with trusted friends, my sponser or a support group can help bring clarity and relief. This is part of my unique journey, and acknowledging it is a brave and significant step.

I can't tell you how many times me and a friend or my brother would go to the bar and just say - "We're only having 1 or 2 drinks and that's it!" The whole day was blown. We would walk in at like 9am and next thing you know, it's 9pm at night.

It's a mind altering drug. You have to keep drinking it to keep the mind altering effect going. That's why it's addictive. I would find beer cans or bottles all around my house that were still full but where opened and forgotten or lost. It's ridiculous, I couldn't even guarantee my money's worth. When beer has been opened and exposed for hours on end, it goes flat, it's not good to drink. Unless if you get drunk and drink that, which is nasty and I would do that ahahaha

Wonderful, wonderful channel!

Sorry to hear about your recent troubles chip, really hope you feel better soon. I’m 4 weeks sober now after heavy drinking daily for 15 years. I found this channel 1 week into quitting and you’ve really helped me carry on and your words on pursuing a creative and meaningful sober life. You and Veronica have helped me recently get through and enjoy a Xmas work party with other heavy drinkers and a gig which I would never have thought possible beforehand. Thanks for all your work you two! Love from the UK

What's kind of funny is that when I feel lonely and have an urge to drink, it's typically around my bed time. I have to laugh it off because that is the dumbest idea but I guess that's how my mind works. The hangover free mornings is what's really keeping me sober.

Thank you

❤

The negative comments online only affect me when I'm already in a bad mood. When I'm in a good mood, they don't stick.

I was the same way. I use to take everything personal. Being sober is able to make me realize that the world doesn't revolve around myself. It ironically lefts a massive weight off my shoulder. I botched that LOL

This was so informative. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I’m four months sober and I sometimes feel like a zombie, my mood is so flat. This makes so much sense. I’ve wondered “is this my new life?” This helps tremendously

Why does Chip always agree with everything Veronica says. Does he not have his own opinions.

Thanks for putting my feelings into words. I had those internal feelings for so long aand never admited them to anyone. First living every day for the weekend to drink, then the weekend would start on Thursday, then Wednesday....before I knew it, it was hard to take a day off from drinking. Not every day was blackout drunk, a lot of them were 2-3 beers then maybe a cocktail, but it was sure enough to affect my mood, make me tired and eventually throw me into depression. 257 days AF today

Great insights and perspective. Angela is delightful.

Angela is a phenomenal individual!! Her insights are genuine. Her personality is consistent. And her desire to help mothers is refreshing. What you see is what you get.

Take the magnesium IN THE MORNING, even though you're taking it for sleep. It doesn't knock you out, it's about having enough to stop deficiency keeping you awake. If you take it at night, it messes with your circadian rhythm. Similar with vitamin D, deficiency can keep you awake so you do need it stored in your body... but in this case the absorption process stops your brain making melotonin which you need to sleep.

I have no will power and I like the taste of it. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences in life too (like many -no excuses) I want to stop and I don’t at the same time , I’m intelligent but ..

Drinking every night was normal to me. I didn't think I had an issue. It wasn't until I started to notice that friends didn't stay in my life for very long and then I started to noticed that some of them would say things like - "I can't keep doing this." That's when I realized that maybe what I was doing was not normal.

Respectfully, the number one thing is to focus on sobriety...not alcohol! STOP trying "not to drink", or "quitting", or "moderating". Those are all dead ends, in many cases, literally. The reality is Veronica, that nothing you say, or I say, is going to make any difference until the individual has had their ass thoroughly kicked, and have conceded to their innermost selves that "SELF" is the root problem. The moment that I began "living differently", was the moment that alcohol ceased being a factor in my life. All the best...✌Mark

I just avoid females talking on this subject. This video could of been just 5 minutes long. But they just seem to babble on and repeat thing 20 times

Excellent stuff...I subbed and wanna support you and I have a channel called Lovestyle if you are curious...great work❤

Very well explained.

This is what keeps me sober! I wake up every morning feeling really good!

Watched this again helps me so much 🙏👏🏼👍

6 yr sober this time. Came across your videos bc I'm trying to sponsor for the first time and I wish I had seen these before. I love how you see and explain things I couldn't verbalize myself. Been in AA for years and getting so much out of your vodeos

I really really love you!! Thank you for doing the work so your gift can be unwrapped for us!!❤
