    Quitting beer has been amazing! I wake up early every morning, I get so much done during the day and I no longer feel the need to stay up late at night, I go right to bed around 10 to 11pm and sleep like a baby. It's also insane how easy it is to plan things out in advance, you don't have to worry about driving and you don't have to worry about how much booze will be at an event, you just show up. It's like I've unlocked the easy mode in life.

    Another great video thank you for sharing. You’re helping hundreds along their journey who in turn will help hundreds more and on and on. I’ve had to detach from many friends and family that I drank with. some act very snobby and jealous and some over the top happy for me and ask me how they can do what I’ve done. Helping others see it can be done has in turn helped me and I love that. Keep walkin!!

      “Over the top” that’s the worst!!!! Drives me nuts! 😂
      It’s a common trend among us sober people, which is crazy because it shows just how toxic alcohol is

    I was an alcoholic and took opiate and smoked weed on a regular basis for 20 years .. I’ve always worked 6 days a week ..I was a functioning addict ..I kept everything from my loved ones ..moral of story I eventually lost everything my family that is ..then I reached out and got help and went to weekly groups for 5 years and took soboxzone..I am 42 and just now 6 months clean …absolutely nothing ..I don’t think some addicts realize how tough they are to get clean ..26 years 7 days a week multiple drug addiction ..I can handle anything ..

    Meghan I have a confession to make. I messed up ☹, this Saturday gone I had some. It was a beer festival I went to in honour of my friend who just passed away in July. It was his birthday last Thursday so was for that. But I kept it very minimal and didn't wake up with a sore head or any of that and will definitely stay away for a good while now if not for good.
    Hope you don't think less of me or judge me. But you're doing marvelous, so proud of you don't stop just because I did as what I intend to be a one off.

      I appreciate your honestly James. Thank you for opening up. I’m glad it didn’t take you down a rabbit hole of drinking again, and hope you are strong enough to realize that you can’t do that regularly, or it will take you back down. I don’t think of less of you at all. Your strength is admirable, and I know this was just a day, and you’ll move past it. ❤️
