- Have you ever wanted to start your own business?
How about writing a song or starting a TH-cam channel?
How about just going for a walk?
Rather than succomb to temptation this weekend, why not do something to make yourself proud instead?

next week will be one year w/o any alcohol ..thanks for your help
That is fantastic to hear. Good on you for that. Make sure you keep on going and get htrough this Christmas and then you are set for anpother year.
Amazing job!
This week was productive. We've been rehearsing with the band and this friday we'll be playing a gig,so definitely a very good start to the weekend. Have a great and productive weekend yourself!
That is great to hear Evaldas. Glad to hear there is some live gigs going on as well. Almost feels normal!
Nice idea. A Thursday pep talk is excellent for me as then I have Friday to plan for the weekend. Best wishes mate.
Thanks Francis. It would seem that most people are keen to have them go out on Thursday so that is what I will do
@@BenjaminLeeWright Many thanks. I certainly think that would help a lot of people. Kind Regards Francis
OMG . Just what i wanted to hear right now. Thankyou!
Benjamin.. I have listened to Beck, O'hara and many others, but no one resonates with me as you do.. I love the fact that you talk about issues other than addiction.. depression, liking solitude, enjoying your own company, yet being socially adapt, thinking positively, etc, etc.. you bare your heart and soul and admit to being human! I love you, man! Keep the videos coming!! ♥👍
The week has been very good for me. Been productive and listened to music to grow the nostalgia of what I loved to do. I've been walking through the park again and feel in a different place and think differently, the look of myself has been positive and getting the vibe of production going. Recording music is another part of things that gets me in a different yet busy time. It does take time but it'll be worth it.
Nice one Greg
A weekend pep talk is a great idea, making yourself proud no matter how big or small the acheivement is a good philosophy to live by. Would love a long form podcast style audio reference mental health...great idea. Keep up the good work Ben 👍
Thanks Matt. Podcast should be good to go in a couple of weeks. I will make an update when it is ready to let everybody know
Just watching and listening to you over the last few months has made it feel like someone is helping me along. 50+ days sober and that includes a birthday night out. Never before has that happened. Thankyou for sharing.
That is fantastic to hear Andy. Good on ya for that. Stick with it bro.
Start something. Gather momentum. Fall down. Get back up. Go again. Good vid mate 👍
Cheers JR
you help me... thank you.
Glad you are getting value from the videos
You literally just described my thought pattern of the week.
Monday: Not drinking again.
Roll on Thursday: it's Friday tomorrow.
FRIDAY: Well this happening again.
Saturday & Sunday: write offs.
Monday: Rinse and repeat.
Thanks for the (hopefully weekly?) wake up call buddy :)
That is a pattern that I used to go through all the time as well so I know exactly how it goes. I will do more of these videos on Thursday's to get people prepared for the weekend. I think that is the most logical thing to do.
Mantra for the weekend... Thanks Ben. I could listen to you for hours... Fascinating and compelling.. Go for it!! Day 22 and still abstaining... Thurs or Friday, either is good for me. 👍
That's the word I was looking for. Mantra! Well done on 22 days Kathleen. That is fantastic to hear.
@@BenjaminLeeWright thanks 😊
Thanks Ben, was nice surprise to see a pre weekend video on TH-cam. Like your message to do something that makes you proud this weekend, challenge accepted. A podcast would be great too, nice to have an encouraging voice in the ear out walking and doing the weekly chores. Have a productive weekend yourself.
Thanks very much. I will do videos like this every Thursday from now on and will be starting a Podcast in the not to distant future.
You are an Inspiration Benjamin. I've been following your journey since the first lockdown. Keep inspiring us!
Thanks very much. I will have a video regarding Lockdown 2.0 in the next couple of days. Stay strong!
Yes, 100% yes. This is a brilliant idea. Especially lately for myself on a selfish level I guess because your pick me up messages & funny videos do help boost me through another week mate.
Always needed and appreciated.
Its the way you word things. Hearing certain things coming from someone else talking from experience, helps put it into a different perspective if you get me?!? so thats great too 👍🏻
Thank you very much bro. It is always great to hear people appreciate what I am doing. I will do more videos like this on Thursday's and will be starting the Podcast in a couple of weeks.
Love the idea of a podcast
Every day is a good day to inspire. Just make it happen.. 👍
Wise words!
Appreciate your down-to-earth approach and sincerity, not to mention your dry sense of humour, Benjamin. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks a lot Edward 👍
Another belter mate down to earth but full of common sense. 8 days later feeling a lot sharper
Thanks Anthony. Great to hear you are doing well.
I love the Sunday ones too. I feel prepped for the week.
Cheers bro. I haven't forgt about listening to your album either. I have been very slack in this kind of thing and will let you know what I think
@@BenjaminLeeWright awesome. I should warn you though, it’s not metal.😬 it’s ambient guitar. It has darker undertones though.
@@BenjaminLeeWright still running too! I love it.
Thank you Ben, you are so inspirational I've watched all your videos and can relate to emotions and thoughts that you have or had throughout your journey. Fridays are a perfect day for a pep-talk 👍 also please do a podcast I'd love to listen to you while Im running, your the best!!!
Thanks very much Lynn. I am surprised to hear that a lot of people think the Podcast is a good idea so I will look into that and get something out in a couple of weeks. I will let everyone know when it is all ready to go.
Thanks once again Lynn :)
Definitely do the podcast Ben! Pleeease! Looking forward to hear ur chat about social media. I'm weaning myself off it at the moment. Reading more. 😊
Thanks Stef. It will be a couple of weeks before the Podcast is good to go but I will let everybody know when it is ready. Social media video will be out on Sunday :)
Great video Ben!
I pick these videos up ad hoc as you post, the messages are the important thing for me, not necessarily when they arrive.
Have to agree on the hobby/pastime/whatever, I genuinely think mine (Fishing) has saved my sanity many a time...
Cheers
Marcus
You have really helped me too. I am now on my last week of couch to 5k by just starting and then carrying on following your running vid. A podcast or audio version would be great to have whilst running about the place. Maybe also recommended music playlist for the week too as you know your stuff there. (Like you don't have enough to do already.) But thanks for doing what you do.
Great to hear that you have nearly completed the Couch to 5K. It is truly one of the best things I have ever done in my life.
I have been thinking of doing some Spotify playlists of what I listen to when I am out running. They might make good video ideas for my Music Review channel?
@@BenjaminLeeWright brilliant idea. Would really like to learn and get into more and different music.
Do a podcast, you'd be great at it :)
Will do Brynjar. I will let everybody know when the Podcast is good to go.
@@BenjaminLeeWright Brilliant, can't wait for it! Sure it will go down a storm! :)
Sounds like my week every week.im so tired of letting myself down..keep the videos coming...Its always good to hear it from somebody who knows
Cheers Rick.
@@BenjaminLeeWright your doing good work. There are a lot people that need to hear the things you speak about
I personally like the you tube videos but thats me..id like to see /hear what your goals are in your daily life out of curiosity. What plans do you have over the weekend etc..do you like to cook?gardening? Working on any projects in your studio? Just a thought...great video pal..enjoy your weekend, I've got garlic to plant, and a chimney cap im putting on my house sat with my friend , hoping to get on my bike for a nice long ride , a great activity for stress relief and exercise! Do you have a bike? Cheers
Start up a “one meal a day” plan for weight loss and feeling great. Weekends are a great time to use the time!!
Full support for the podcast and personally, Thursdays are when we start to think about the weekend. Weekends without a plan usually feel like the shorter weekends, you know?
Thanks Matthew. I will do these videos on Thursday's and will be starting a Podcast in a couple of weeks. I will do an update nearer the time to let you all know when that will be.
Always enjoyable. My week improved simply by Rosalie Cunningham announcing two sit down gigs at the start of December, live music again!
I think the podcasts could be interesting too.
Cheers bro. I have you to thank for getting me into Rosie's music. That was such a great album. Enjoy the gigs bro.
@@BenjaminLeeWright Interested to know if you'd be tempted to go to gigs in general or holding out until things settle... On Covid note my app has just told me to self-isolate for 8 days due to potentially being in contact with someone.
I would have no problem going to a gig myself. I am not sure I buy any of this current situation to be honest with you. Everyone seems fine to me.
Podcast about alcohol would be good for me
👍👍👍👍
Thanks Ken
Your funny even when you don't mean to be ha. I think Thursday is good idea as weekend coming up and that's when most people drink. So might make them think 🤔
Thanks K H. I think Thursday will be the most logical time to do it so I will do them from now on.
A podcast is a great idea buddy, I think yours would be brilliant. I’m not trying to say you have a face for radio in case you get the wrong idea 😂
Hahaha. Cheers bro. I will be starting the Podcast in a few weeks and willl let everyone know when it is ready.
My beard is a thing of beauty and Odin himself would be proud to have it!
Thursday mate. Friday will be too late, in my opinion. As in drink, will be consumed.
Thanks Christopher. I think that seems to be the most logical choice.
Please start a podcast
Will do. It might be a few weeks before the first one but I will let people know when they are ready.
Thursday
Thursday it is
My favourite part of you car videos is pretending you're in Canada and wondering why you're sitting in the passenger seat
Whatever brings you joy my friend
Thursday
Seems to be the most logical time to do it so do it I shall!
