I was always an evening binge drinker for years. What i'm loving now being sober 5 days now is the fact i can now hop in my Hyundia Tucson and go to Wendy's McDonals's for an evening treat or burger and can drive in which when i drank, i NEVER would do anything like such and that to me is a huge plus for me. Lovin' it so far. I turned 60 today and i want my old life back and not to suffer in the beasts (Alcohols) grasp it once had a firm grip on me. Hope you're all well. -Bob
I'm glad someone brought up the sugar comment and craving certain things once you quit. Make sure to have those craving backups or it is harder to quit
It I’ll get easier, I got 8 months down, now I don’t see a reason for drinking, I had almost a year of if I didn’t drink, I would get the shakes. I can’t see my self going back
It’s not easy if you don’t want to give up I know that feeling I had to really want to quit and it made it easier mostly down to doing stupid things whole drunk I literally had enough hitting 50 and nothing to show for it , maybe ur too young abs haven’t done enough stupid stuff while drunk ? Age does make you look at your life and your relationship with alcohol ….
Second of January(5 weeks ago) was my last 8 beers I drank, I've been drinking nearly every day for 14 years. I'm not desperate for a drink however it's never far away thinking about it. I'm still feeling exhausted, dizziness light heads specially in the mornings and the brain fog. The last week I been suffering with flu like symptoms.
I’m over two years sober of late I’m getting a strange longing for a drink to relax it’s very annoying I’m like oh you can now have a few drinks but I know it’s a slippery slope back to weekend binge boozing ..

The biggest issue for me is that even after the physical withdrawal has su sided, and the initial cravings have died down, you're left with all the problems thatbled you to start drinking in the first place. That's the real problem. If your life is bad then what's the point in being sober?
Hang in there. If you have a tough life and lots of problems, sinking into oblivion will only delay/worsen the problems. Best to face those issues head-on; you'll get through it. Imagine that life once you've slowly made all those amends. Then you can live with serenity. Hope you're doing well today, best of luck
@@Monkeyabroad I'm not sure. I drank because my life was bad and at least by being drunk I didn't try and self-delete. Now my life is still bad, but I'm sober. I guess we'll see what happens.
I'm sitting firmly on the pink cloud right now. 45 days sober and checked all those boxes you listed. A little concerned about the eventually fall off.
I've had trouble with sleep too. I wish I had googled things to help with sleep before I stopped drinking. I know getting plenty of B vitamins early each day helps with your nerves. And that helps with everything
Hello TS FAMILY Been Subbing for are first grade here in lake Geneva but next week is my final week so i will be back on the lives . A Big Thank you to Marcus and Terry for this awesome channel.
Everyone that has an occasional drink is not an alcoholic. Like me you guys had no self control.and alchol consumed your lives. I never got to the point where alchol affected me the way it did you guys but I quit because once I began drinking I couldn't cut it off.
I disagree too, I see an excellent evolution and refinement of thoughts as the live-streams progress, and there are only few sobriety channels on TH-cam which can match this one
Over 6 months of no alcohol for me

I got to 4 months , then ruined it with a relapse . It`s very depressing and I have to start again.
You guys have helped me so much. Thank you for your videos. From 🇬🇧

Don't try it! I've just recently relapsed after a long hard haul don't do it! I was back where I was took off.
@@itsjustme9354 that’s exactly what I’d fear will happen ..
Try a cozy early night with a great book that let's you escape from real life for a bit or a weekend away actually escaping from real life x
Wish I would have found this channel sooner but glad I finally did. Coming up on 9yrs here in North Texas. Still need to hear this material!

@@Monkeyabroad I don't think I can solve those issues, though. I don't think they're solvable.
@@someonesomeone25 Even the process of trying your best to solve them will bring you to a better place than alcohol or substance ever will

I got sober because she dumped me for it. I’m 90 days sober but she doesn’t care enough to even respond.
You choose sobriety for you.
I had a total mental collapse at two years. I eventually concluded that AA was the problem.
Thanks guys, you're so inspirational! I gave up on New Years Eve 2023, it's now Feb 20th, it's getting a little tough but I think I've got this!

No way would I pay this money. Ridiculous. I work too hard & dont spend this amount on anything.
Your talks are helpful
I relapsed on the very day I was supposed to get my ninety day chip. I rule!....NOT.
Luv chemical information. So important. Thank you.
Your website is down, are you still active? I found this very helpful.
just remember everyone it gets better just keep the poison out of your mouth !! keep up the good work marcus and terry !!
I had to go to the ER I’m glad I did cuz alcohol me loses a lot
I slept 4 hrs in 2 weeks when I got sober I quit on my own it was hell
I've had trouble with sleep too. I wish I had googled things to help with sleep before I stopped drinking. I know getting plenty of B vitamins early each day helps with your nerves. And that helps with everything
@@benbelzer8303 thankyou
@@barrytierney414 yep! Especially B1 which is thiamine, just google foods and vitamins that are good for your nerves
Magnesium is good for sleep.
@@itsjustme9354 Correct. I take that too

Geez trying to quit drinking 3 beers a day and you made it sound like it will be hell.😆
Not funny.
Give it a try now, before it gets impossible.

😂😂😂
I would argue that anyone that consumes any smmount of alchchol is on a spectrum tbh...Legal poison that affects every cell in our bodies.
Dont pay too much attention to this vid. after 90 days it gets easier.

Fellas, fyi. I feel the talks are getting too drawn out
I disagree, they are doing excellent
The longer the show on YT, is more money
@@Lovely0710 You do know that no one is making you watch, you should just move on and create your own videos and then you can make all the money
