I do think that a couple of drinks does make most people slightly more fun and interesting to be with, but it doesn't make up for all the downsides of drinking!
Thanks man! You were a big help to me and really supportive. A lot of people would have panicked at the idea of losing a drinking buddy but you're a true friend
I’ve watched you drink for years and get down on yourself. I always wished more for you because you seem like a genuinely nice guy. I’m so happy you see your potential and a bright future for yourself, you deserve it and I look forward to seeing what’s next. Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2024 Prozzie.
I never actually quit alcohol, I just sort of drank less and less until I realised I'd not had a drink in six months. I always said I'd probably drink now and then as, like you, I'd enjoyed drinking. After the six months had passed I just couldn't be bothered with it anymore. I've just gone over one year now and I'm very happy with where I am in my life. Well done in doing something that was positive for you.
Right on Prozzie! I’ve never drank and I’m 38. I can tell you that the comments from other people and peer pressure to drink never really goes away. People will understand, but the feeling of not fitting in at bars or parties also doesnt go away. You do you and be proud of where you’re going. Congrats 🎉
I haven't had a drink in about 3.5 years. I read the SAME book. It definitely told me some hard truths I finally was ready to hear at the time. I agree with a lot of what you said (less puffy, more money, more energy, more of a sweet tooth, people being weirded out about me not drinking), and I've had some different experiences as well. For example, I started cooking more and staying in more. Turns out I mostly wanted to go out to drink before. Another couple huge things for me early on was how good my sleep quality was, and how much free time I had to pursue other interests. Being alcohol-free felt like a superpower for that first year.
I watched your video before I felt you're so negative. But these few months, I felt you are happier than before. Good luck! I wish you and Alan happiness. And be in good health and wealth.😊
6:29 *Prositive. Fixed that for you 👍 Well done on the lifestyle change. It's a part of growing up, awesome to hear you are gaining traction and bouncing from win to win!🎉
I’m so proud of you prozzie! I know that doesn’t mean much from a random internet stranger, but I’ve seen you go hard on nights out since the days with Matt & Winston, and as a problem drinker myself I can relate to how it has affected you. I like your perspective on not drinking, and I am inspired seeing how it has changed your outlook on the future. This video was the nudge I needed to decide to cut out drinking. Maybe I’ll check that book out, I’ve heard it recommended before. Thank you, and I wish you all the best! Edit: 1 month sober and feeling great!
Prozzie, I used to be a heavy drinker. I'd go through a gallon of wine every 2 days. I stopped drinking voluntarily 2 years ago 1/1/21 cold turkey. I just stopped. I didn't want to drink anymore and I gained all the benefits that you listed in this exposé. 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦
I’m proud of your accomplishment. It’s not easy giving up any habit. I’ve cut caffeine out of my life and it’s actually quite challenging. What’s next on the agenda? Any new challenges?
no idea why but Alan Carr easy way to stop smoking worked for me. I recommend that book all the time. cheers Prozzie, nice to hear things are going well for you bro
Wow, I watched your videos during Covid I didn't know when I stopped, your video showed up on the list and I started watching. I'm glad you are sober for over a year and became a permanent resident in Taiwan. It's great to see you've changed your life style!
The return of the moto-Vlog...absolutely loved it! When you introduced the Honda I pumped the air, how brilliant is that! Nice personal review of not drinking, not preachy, but actually very encouraging to anyone who may be considering the benefits of not drinking.
You look so much healthier and younger!!! I almost stopped watching your videos last year, because it seemed so many of your videos revolved around eating and drinking, and it seemed to become quite repetitious. You made such a huge positive change in your life; alcohol is a depressant.
13:17 That's sad, I hope they can value mental interaction more. But Prozzie, I do get a sense of solitarily from you. I could be wrong, but if you often feel it is difficult to get involved in a group of ppl or hard to find a ppl who is willing to slow down to know you better. It is your feature but not a problem, so don't force yourself to do something you don't like just to blend in with the crowd. It is not necessary. And not good for both of you. Hope you can find a better way to adjust to the new normal 14:09 yeah, it shows they do not really know you. If there is a person like "nah, Prozzie is not like that, you guys are overreacting" and still feel comfortable when you are around, then he/she might be a person more willing to know others instead of himself/herself. Maybe they need some time to reknow you? hmm. I'm happy for you btw xD
Thank you for opening up. It's something I've thought about for a while. It feels like a huge commitment to make, but one thing you said that stuck with me is the "fogginess", it's real man.
Hey, just want to say congratulation on this alcohol-free journey! besides your physical transformation, you have a positive out look on life and that is a fantastic attitude to have. All the best!
Prozzie, lifetime non-drinker here, grab a pepsi or coke and "treat" it like a drink. what do i mean; you can still cheers, have something in hand, still be social in that way. it will put them at ease, remind them that you are there because you like them, are there to hang out with them. The comments probably won't go away but they will be more at ease knowing that you care about them and don't worry about the rest. You are not drinking anymore,.. because it matters to you! Don't sweat what others think of your decisions. Love the video, as a non-drinker, i think because it is such a social norm, lots of folks just can't resonate or understand the decision. Have a great day homie!
Well done on keeping it going for so long! I cut alcohol for a few months while doing keto a few years ago. It was a bit awkward when out with friends, but I went from 103kg to 80kg. Cutting alcohol definitely contributed to that! I'm on keto again (after being off it for more than a year) and had only a couple of beers over Christmas and New Year after months off alcohol! And if someone thinks you're boring just because you choose not to drink, they suck and aren't worth knowing.
Pozzie, keep it up. You've done a great job taking care of yourself. The benefits of being alcohol-free and physically, mentally healthy will keep coming your way. Happy New Year!
Much congrats, Prozzie. Very good that your friends still enjoy having you along at bars w/o alienating you. It sounds like you'll be able to continue being a "teetotaler". Personally, I've never drunk much altho I do enjoy drinking. I've always been very able to take it or leave it. For the last 12 years, I've had only one bottle of alcohol per year, a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate the new year, which I just had. It's not something that I planned, just something that sort of happened.
So proud of you, Prozzie! Very happy for you especially your outlook for life, which is the core source of energy. I have always loved food but a social drinker. Have been to 67 countries overall and 25 in last year. Never thought or been told my life is boring without alcohol. Sure your TH-cam career can take off too with the core source of energy solidified!
Nice job! Whenever I cut down on booze I always notice an improvement in overall well-being (plus my face is less likely to be a puffy uncomfortable mess). I read Alan Carr's book on quitting smoking, and it definitely worked for me - maybe he applies the same principles.
This is an extremely inspiring video. Alcohol can be a darkness for many foreigners in Taiwan. (I’m not exactly sure why). When I was younger I also had my fair share of issues with the bottle and I’m definitely going to check out the suggested read. Good on you and keep it up! 👍❤️
I think foreigners tend to drink more because there are no social barriers stopping you from over indulging like there are back home. Normally you'd have friends and family who hold you accountable but when you move abroad you have none of that, so why not drink whenever you want. I could be wrong though
my drinking habit decreased a lot in Taiwan. There are so many other things to do in Taiwan. Maybe a few beers a year in total. My drinking habit overall changed since I'm self employed, I started my own business at the age of 26 and worked toward that for ages. Now when running around with open eyes in Taiwan you have so many opportunities here ... especially if you come with "outside of the box", non regular thinking. I told myself ages ago never compete with the local workforce, wherever I am - never integrate as an employee. Even if it was tough from time to time the overall value is just great.
Congrats🎉 It seems you have gained some benefits after stop drinking. As for the negative you mentioned, I don’t think it is your problem. The purpose of going bar is to meet your friends and have a good time. As for those who think you are boring are not your truly friends. It’s just my opinion 😊
People will only think you are boring for not drinking, if drinking is their hobby. People with other hobbies don't really think much of it.
That's true but pretty much everyone I've ever known has been drinkers so part of the challenge is meeting people that don't drink
Agree, do what you love! Enjoy your life
I do think that a couple of drinks does make most people slightly more fun and interesting to be with, but it doesn't make up for all the downsides of drinking!
Yep, friendships are often based around hobbies. When you find a hobby you love, other people who love that hobby will do it with you.
get new set of healthier friends.. you are who you surround with .. @@Prozzie
Congrats man 🎉
Thanks man! You were a big help to me and really supportive. A lot of people would have panicked at the idea of losing a drinking buddy but you're a true friend
戒酒的好處真多，讓身體變好，有能力買下心愛的重機，
也讓你早上不再頭昏腦脹，最重要的是讓你的臉更帥了；
這集告訴我們，跟真正的朋友喝烏龍茶也能喊～呼搭啦；
恭喜你完成心願，買下很酷的重機，很勵志，新年快樂！👍🥰🙌🎁❤🌹🎉
Thank you! Happy new year!
@@Prozzie It is my honor, thanks to you too! Happy new year! 🤩👊
Like your changes
Become a better you
一直持續看你的影片，以前看到的你確實覺得全身浮腫，眼神渙散，心理也住著叛逆的小孩，感覺你找不到自己，（對不起，我直接的說，只是想對比你過去和現在的差異）
現在的你，是個陽光男孩，也正朝向積極的未來前進，我為你的改變感到開心
我也為你祝福❤❤🎉🎉
Proud of you Prozzie! One of the best thing you've done in life.
Thanks! And yea I'm happy with the way I feel not drinking. No reason to go back
@@Prozziedid serpentza and laowhy86 leave china ? I used to watch u guys years ago and forgot all about u - how is life in Taiwan ?

台灣男人在喝酒這方面壓力比女人大很多厚？
我不喝酒，住在澳洲16年，跟朋友說我活了50年沒醉過，大家都覺得我的人生應該很無聊😂
What a bike! Keep it up!
Thanks!
Good for you my man! I quit alcohol and illicit(?) drugs 29 years ago and never looked back. Best move I ever made.
I haven't had a drink in about 3.5 years. I read the SAME book. It definitely told me some hard truths I finally was ready to hear at the time. I agree with a lot of what you said (less puffy, more money, more energy, more of a sweet tooth, people being weirded out about me not drinking), and I've had some different experiences as well.

oh god yea I forgot to mention sleep. I sleep like a dead person now
Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊
Good job my friend with reaching all those personal goals!! Hoping 2024 brings even better stuff!!
I watched your video before I felt you're so negative. But these few months, I felt you are happier than before.

That´s amazing Prozzie!! Getting rid of a habit, that was depleting your energy really had some win-win effects for you!
Good job,well done,so glad to hear your good news .而且你戒酒之後看起來更帥氣更有魅力了😊
Keep at it! And bike vlogs are the best. Always have been.
I'll try and do more!
❤Thanks
Thank you so much!

謝謝！
Thank you so much!
Cooking at home is healthier. We should make another cooking video together.
Proud of you 👏
I've vastly reduced my alcohol intake in the past year. So, Prozzie, many of the things you say are very true. Keep up the effort!
Wow, I watched your videos during Covid I didn't know when I stopped, your video showed up on the list and I started watching. I'm glad you are sober for over a year and became a permanent resident in Taiwan. It's great to see you've changed your life style!
I’m very happy for you, doing what makes yourself happy and you are making positive changes for your social media community.
你真的變帥了，而且看起來又年輕又有精神，也很陽光很正面。
你做出的努力都沒有白費，我們也都看到你的堅持，真的很難得。
也謝謝你做出了最好的榜樣，只要願意改變真的做得到的👍 How are you?
Great job. Be positive. Support. 💪🏻💪🏻
I'm so happy for your sobriety 🌈. Gives you an opportunity to get to know how really wonderful you are 🩷

I almost stopped watching your videos last year, because it seemed so many of your videos revolved around eating and drinking, and it seemed to become quite repetitious.
You made such a huge positive change in your life; alcohol is a depressant.
Way to go, Prozzie! 💪💪 Thanks for sharing…👍👍
Appreciate it!
Good for you, take care of yourself. I had a Honda Rebel 500, loved it.😎

Very happy for you!
Thank you!!
Though I can't imagine Prozzie without a can of beer, I think the new Prozzie is better.
Keep up the good work!
兩年前有在逢甲遇過PROZZIE,那時候他手裡拿著啤酒在喝,整個好像恍神魂不在的樣子非常落魄,現在好多了
Prozzie...it brings light to my soul seeing that you are well.
Excellent, informative and encouraging video!
Good for you, you do you cowboy! 🤠🤠🤠
Thanks 👍
This is fantastic to hear, mate!
No doubt everything will be better and better to you. GOOD LUCK.🍀

Thank you! 😊
i have never heard anyone who stopped drinking regret it. most people tell me it's one of the best decisions they've ever made. keep it up, Prozzie
True , most are pleased with themselves.
12:22 you do get more positive 👍👏
Congratulations and hope things will keep going well
Good for you I am so happy for you keep it up
Thank you!!
Looking forward to your motorcycle touring!
Congrats bro!
Thank you!
It's certainly quite a different vibe comparing to the video 8 months ago. :) All the best!

很久前，
忘記在誰的頻道看到你，
覺得這個人怎麼每天都是暈暈的
看到你跟小朋友出遊的影片，
真的感覺換一個人，很有愛
Looks good on you 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations 👍👍👍
Thank you!!
You appear much healthier and happier.
Awesome dude! Congrats! Keep up the awesome content
Proud of you. Keep up the good work! Don’t gain weight back like Allen !
Thank you Prozzie! I've been toying with the idea of quitting alcohol, and your video really galvanized my will. Completely unironically, cheers mate!
Congrats! Cheers man 🍻
The motorcycle looks so beautiful. Super!

Good on you mate keep going forward keep pushing
Thank you, I will
It is one days since I quit drinking alcohol... so far so good :D
