Should you get stopped by police for a random breath test, don't give them the credit. When it comes to the festive season, they are looking to target drivers with alcohol and drugs .Keep up your productivity and invest your earnings well.
Keep reminding yourself why you hate it and what you will think in the morning when you don't drink. You will feel great and thankful that you didn't drink. It gets easier.
59 days sober...i really wanted to drink last night and had planned on having a few beers...i just kept reminding myslef "what do i have to gain by drinking?" and "if i drink tonight, it's not gonna be a one time thing, i'm gonna wanna drink tomorrow and the next day, and the next day" or "if i have 2 beers, i'm gonna want another one, if i have 3, i'll want 4, and if i have 4 i'll want 5"
Quitting is easier than moderation. I tried moderation and kept failing at it, time after time. I'd not drink for months, then think "I can have one" and I'd have three, four, five, feeling like crap the next day, also because it made me feel weak. Then I quit and I haven't had a drink in 20 years now (I'm 50) and I don't miss it. Sometimes I'll think "one would be nice", but I know my brain won't be able to stick to that when I have one, because it messes up your resolve, because of what it does to the brain. So I don't have the first one and the next day I always think "wow, glad I didn't" and you know that if I'd have some, the next day I'd feel really bad with hangovers etc. People who say you can't have fun without it are people who can't have fun without it themselves. That's troublesome and sad, that's not the kind of people I want around me anymore. They'll drag you down with them, if you give them the chance. I had "friends" that would try to tempt me, say "you're so much more fun with a couple of drinks". I left those people behind me, because it's toxic behavior, even though it's socially accepted. If people care about you, they'll support you when you try to take steps to get healthier, not try to stop you from growing, because they can't do it themselves.
You made a wise choice to quit alcohol. It's not easy to find a support group that encourages you to be a teetotaler. You don't need friends who socialise with you as long as there is alcohol.
@@julians9763 Thank you. It's not easy at all, no, which is strange to me, because why do they mind so much? Is it because they know they look so dumb when they're drunk, to a sober person, that they're embarrassed to get drunk in front of them? Maybe they need to try and turn it into that the person not drinking is the problem, so they don't have to take a look at themselves? I wonder. The friends that were the most pushy about me having to drink at their social events were also people who didn't support me when I was trying to eat healthier and lose weight. So I think they were people who really wanted to keep me at the same level as them, instead of cheering on a friend for making a good change or even saying "you know what? I'll join you on this journey!" I think a lot of "friendships" aren't really friendships, no. They're fairweather friends, people that share drinks, going out and dopamine bursts together. When one of them goes through something bad in their lives they don't have the capacity to be there for them, it's all fluff, no substance.
I am not sure about that. Yes, for sure some are. I left my binge drinking days about 5 years ago, but consume some small amount now. I had a bottle of red wine during Thanksgiving. Before the pandemic, the Costco liquor department was 'X' big. During the pandemic, Costco was deemed too important, and was left open as other food and drug stores were. The liquor department grew by 50%, and liquor was being placed on display when you walked in. Today, the liquor department has shrunk, but still bigger maybe 20% than prior to the pandemic. This tells me that liquor is being consumed more than we started, about 5 years ago now.
What's odd is that while I appreciate all of the celebs and well-known folks that have shared this information, my dog has taught me how to avoid addictive poisons. Like most dogs, he LOVES food. However, he has allergy/diet issues. After a string of different foods we tried with him, those that made him feel bad or off, he would eventually avoid eating, even though he was really hungry. He would smell it, look at me, then walk away without eating it. One would think, well duh, of course... if it made him feel bad / sick, avoiding it was the easy answer. Celebrate sober - it feels better!
Thanks for another great vid Leon. I've been sober about a year and a half I guess. I don't know, I'm not counting days or even months because I gave it up in a similar manner to the one that you teach. I have zero desire for it just like I have zero desire to eat dog sh!t. But I still enjoy the vids because it reminds me of what I left behind and that still feels great.
As the daughter of 2 alcoholics and have been one myself along with my partner YES its the worst drug yet its legal its the only drug that harms every part of your body!
I’m struggling desperately wanting to detox. My sons and employees are seeing the downside of me lately. Don’t know how to quit. My happiest days are when I was sober. I don’t know where to start without the painful shakes.
I take Naltrexone. It stops the euphoria felt by the buzz of booze. That way, if I can't feel a buzz, I don't have a reason to drink. It will almost be a year since I've touched the stuff. Binge eating is the issue I can't conquer. 😩
Seems like the majority of viewers are non-drinkers rather than... I just watched it to remind myself... Why am I actually still doing it 12 months down the road, waking up on Sunday morning at 6 am... since I don't have many reasons to stay up late on Saturday night anymore... But in the meantime, I learned about stock market investments. Getting some cash flow from dividends now. And just married a gorgeous looking girl... but my social life is pretty much dead. All my buddies are still drinking...
@@frankw9836 You need to find people to help you with this. Doing it alone from the point where you are is too hard. But I do think you want to, otherwise you wouldn't be watching this video. I drank a lot less than you, so it was easier for me, but it's not impossible. You need the right help to get you going through the first months to a year. It's hard to take that first step and ask for help, but remember it's a strength to ask for help when you need it, not a weakness. And try to find something you always wanted to do, like if you want to learn something, play the guitar or whatever, another language, or you always wanted to do tai chi, something like that, especially something that promotes calmness and a healthy body, it helps the mind. It helps to have something new to focus on and especially if you do it in a group setting you could meet different people, have a fresh start with different influences. The first beginning is difficult, but after a while it gets easier and you'll feel proud of yourself for overcoming it.
Yes you can. There are complete basket cases out there that have come back from this. AA helped me but that's just me. Speak with a doctor. There are options for you ❤
The dangers about alcohol r not spoken about to kids in school cos all the governments around the world make billions ov pounds from the sales ov alcohol
1 year no drinking. Now I think Why would I want to drink ? I honestly think society is just brainwashed I was too. Drunk people are rude crude and annoying just like I was when I drank. But I thought I was funny. It doesn’t making you funny it turn you into a monkey brain that thinks silly things are funny. Be blessed
Pple don't drink for the sake of drinking. The root cause is largely emotional pain. If you're a narcissist like trump, then nothing matters but YOU. You don't care truly about things, and things don't affect you. Trump is a dysfunctional person...an unfortunate necessary evil in these times.

The last time I got drunk was 9 years ago. I only now hae a pint or a glass of wine with a meal. Not very often
Three years sober in February. Best decision I’ve made.
I encourage you to keep improving. Take every opportunity to make the best lifestyle choices.
I’m just starting my sobriety journey. Wish me luck!
Good luck. I'm almost nine months. I am rooting for you. Don't give up ❤🙏
Good luck mate. Today gonna be my first day
Good luck you got this
God Bless you Sara. You got this! The battle isnt of the flesh. Find your faith and hope in Christ.
Best of luck and encouraging you to make the lifestyle choices that will make your sobriety journey a success.
Almost 1 year sober this Christmas I've saved over $7k this year and my productivity has skyrocketed.
Should you get stopped by police for a random breath test, don't give them the credit. When it comes to the festive season, they are looking to target drivers with alcohol and drugs .Keep up your productivity and invest your earnings well.
✨️🙏🏻💜God bless you! And may you continue to be a Warrior for your life and your family! You got this !
I've made it to almost 2 weeks, it is getting easier. Thank you
Especially when you just drink cold water

I need to quit, the universe is telling me to.
Do it ! It's worth it I promise ❤
I encourage you. You won't regret it.
It is so hard
The universe ?
@Lightningbug122 Perhaps the universe within us.
126 days sober today! And im loving it
I will never go back to drugs and alcohol.
I'm just about ready to stop them both, I've had enough now!
What drugs were you using?
If your're boozing, you're losing.
Correct. Don't drink booze and drive.
@@julians9763 I've only done that in a video game.
Clicked on this video when I had about 10 minutes left on the treadmill. Ended up staying on and watching the whole thing
So you were on the treadmill for a total of 40 minutes?
Best change i've ever made is stopping alcohol. Cleanse the body and the brain.
✅ Excellent choice.
Give yourself a raise by quitting drinking
16 months sober! One day at a time!
My last drink was May 8th 2019. Best decision I’ve ever made.

One month sober Dec 1st. Best decision I’ve ever made.
My buddy died 2 weeks ago from drinking. Had a heart attack in rehab. RIP Andrew. Lost a good man to these fucking disease.
Thank you for putting this compilation together 🙏
Good luck Frank. I hope you can find a way. I'm working on it myself. After forty years of drinking it is terrible for my mental health.
Best yet leon.
On the top of it, so much money and time are saved.
No booz for 3 years, I don't miss it at all.

Are you ok ? Do you have someone with you ?
Open up to your family and tell them how much you love them and ask them to help you. You might be surprised. Good luck.

One thing I learnt about drinking. Stay as far away from this if you lose your job and are just sitting in your home.
Moderation is fine. I work hard all week and enjoy a drink on a Saturday. Don’t tar everyone with the same brush.
Really encouraging is what i meant to write....wouldn't let me edit previous post
Day 2 sober 😊
I know a person who has drank all his life and is 80 years old and still works different for some.
He ain’t drinking a 12 pack or a bottle of vodka daily at 80 and still working
7 months sober last week
People who smoke dope are still alive after smoking dope after 50 years and more, smoke dope is it.
My grandfather binge drank like hell got up every morning 5am and ran a shop for pittance from 1945 till 1994.so
So are you saying this is all bs?
I wish i could but cant
I thought so too, Frank, but I did it and I haven't had a drink in 20 years. Quitting is easier than moderation. I wish you well.
Sure you can.
I was a heavy drinker for 30 years I am 1 year sober on Christmas day.
Just take it day by day.

Right👍
Drinkers quieting because pubs are to expensive .One pub after one is going bankrupt 😂.The market is healing in a expensive way!
Why is it than when I watch anti-alcohol videos that it makes me want to drink even more? 🤣

Y is this not shown in every school and colleges around the world it’s disgusting that the hide the dangers from drinking this shiiiiiit
🤔😐 wow.. not in their thirties or forties... but in their millions.
Laat mensen zelf is beslissen of ze drinken of niet is niet om dat gij er niet mee kunt omgaan dat iedereen moet stoppen
Yes they should ban it
I think they should at least remove it from advertising. Remove it from being everywhere all the time so easily
How did that work out last time? Ever heard of Prohibition?
1.Quit Alcohol
2.Quit Porn
3 Quit Sugar loading ...
