    Congratulations! I'm 33 and just started sobriety 33 days ago. Your channel has been really helpful. Unreasonably so. There's a lot of content about being sober, but this is the first channel that actually talks about the difficulties in a way that I care about. I was having a rough time last week and listened to your playlist end to end. It got me through it- no joke. What you said about getting your feelings back really struck me. Even if I'm not all the way there yet I'm beginning - if only just beginning - to understand what that means. It's lame, but it was exactly what i needed to hear in that moment and it's hard to express how much I appreciated it.

    Thanks for this inspiration. So much positive energy. I'm 67 years old and have drunk since I was 23! I keep myself fit, and in good shape, but spend too much time with a beer or four at the pub.
    Recently noticed my blood pressure dangerously high. Going to try a month sober to hopefully feel these benefits. Did 3 months sober in 2017 and felt great then. But my mother got ill and I used that as an excuse to drink again. She is in heaven now passed this life aged 91 in July. I'm done with grieving she's telling me to sort myself out. Thank you..

      Hey thanks John! It's great to hear from you tonight.
      The Keto diet sure does seem to be helping a lot of folks. I did it myself about 2 years ago but I shortly after found out I have pancreatitis.
      Not only is alcohol and cigarettes hard on the pancreas, but so is a high fat diet, so I decided to go off of it.
      But it still seems great along with Intermittent fasting! I'm a big fan of Dr.Berg!
