I'll be honest, once I hit 100 days I know I'd never drink again. The experience changed me that much. It's so powerful .
I was a moderate drinker. But, I was also a consistent drinker. Couple of beers after work every evening, maybe a few more on the weekends. Never got real drunk. One day a friend told me he was quitting drinking for a week. Said if one cannot put it down for a week, that is a sure sign you have a drinking problem. Made sense to me, so I took the challenge. Quitting drinking for a week left me feeling so much better, when the week was up I decided to carry on for an additional week! The benefits of general well being, and getting so many more things done that needed doing, convinced me that alcohol was a total liability. I never did go back to it. That must have been around 1999, 2000 and honestly I never missed dropping alcohol from my life. It wasn't that hard to do either.
Excellent
🇨🇦❤️My mother and brother were recovering alcoholics so I asked them to tell me if and when they thought I should stop drinking and my mother told me while we picked tomatoes in her garden.
It was a dramatic moment for me and I nodded and watched my tears drop down onto the tomatoes as I continued on with what I was doing. The best way to describe it was that it felt like a giant page in the storybook of my life had turned over. She took me to my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting later that evening.
Alcohol had been my “friend” for about 15 years at that point, and I didn’t have to be accountable for my actions as long as my “friend” was in my life. That meant that my disregard for my own well being was somehow justified. Essentially, I wasn’t worth taking good care of, so no harm, no foul.
Sobriety was weird at first and I didn’t like it. I attended AA meetings off and on for a year, but as an atheist, the “higher power” aspect of the program wasn’t appropriate or applicable.
I stayed sober for thirty years and the only awkward aspect was the hostility exhibited by a few of my former drinking buddies, and that was ultimately inconsequential.
After my life’s major responsibilities were completed, (parenthood, career, etc.), I decided to try a sip of wine and to my astonishment, I didn’t like it! I tried spirits, beer and as many other types of alcoholic beverages as I wanted and I had completely lost my desire for alcohol!
That was ten years ago and I’m still not interested in drinking. I have beer, wine and spirits in my home, but they’re used mostly for cooking and baking. I’d rather have an iced coffee or a glass of milk or water these days.
If I hadn’t stopped drinking, I would have died long ago.
Awesome! Great job!
134 days with no alcohol nor sugar!!! Woo hoo!! Feels great! Major lifestyle changes for the better.
That's right!
Exercise get spiritual Change all habits.
Congrats mate.
What changes did you notice?
Being clean became my new high!
I came to the point when I didn't even know how it feels not to be numb. When I stopped alcohol, cigarettes and dope I finally realised how dope it is to be clean^^ I am really happy that I realised it when I was still young. I definitely prevent a lot of damage. Good luck everyone!
Well done bro
88 days here!!!! I feel great! Can't understand why i spent so much time getting drunk?
Good going Aquil
I’m at 12 days and now drink a couple heinakin 0.0 if I want something....I have spent 25 years drinking and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Seems like a waste of time and money now
@@mattschmitz1745 you are right...get ready to have a ton of disposable income now that you've kicked that expensive habit!
Good job I’m planning on doing 90days I’m on day 17
I am now just over 60 days without alcohol after initially planning to give it up for 30 days. I was a regular (4-6) drinker every night. I never realised how bad I felt until I started feeling so good not drinking. I haven't tried a drink to see what my reaction would be but i have no desire to find out.
did you go back? i am just hitting 100 days

How are you doing today?@@reneecasselman7676
Congratulations! I never had a problem with alcohol but gave it up completely to be healthy and because of articles I have read about the bad effects of alcohol. Over a year ago I had dinner with friends who bought expensive wine and I drank some to be polite. It had a horrible effect on my brain. I am glad it happened because it solidified my commitment. I have discovered since that several of my friends do not drink alcohol. With other friends who still drink, I am the designated driver. I feel so much healthier and alive without it. I have read that one immediate effect of a drink of alcohol is brain inflammation. That can’t be good.
Totally. I used to be a hardcore weekend binge drinker, but eventually just got tired of all the downtime I was wasting on recovering from those weekend extremes (and it seems to take longer as I get older...). So I just let that habit fall by the wayside, and now I find my life generally has a baseline of more clarity, focus, and balance. I still don't think there is anything wrong with drinking, but I'm personally just not interested in it anymore. Happy that you also found new clarity and enjoyment--!
'Just not interested in it anymore...' yeah, that sums it up pretty nicely :) even though for me I've never been a binge drinker. I've become very sensitive and tuned into my brain, and I immediately feel when something is off. Just a couple of beers, or glasses of wine are already enough to get that feeling.
I think for many of us, as we get older the joy of drinking diminishes. I'm 51 and I drink far less now than even a few years ago, and its not some sort of conscience decision. It doesnt taste as good, I get hung over with far less alcohol, I hate the hangovers, I get full and tired after a few beers ect. In fact, I bought a case of beer a month ago and still have 12 of them left, just a few years ago, that might not have lasted a weekend. I have other friends that are experiencing the same thing, many experienced it in their 40s. Whiskey hangovers are too bad, for me to really drink it much any more. I still drink but its pretty much down to a few beers on a Saturday night because I dont go to the gym or work on Sunday. I just quit chewing a year ago. I think I'm becoming a mormon lol.
I've never been an alcoholic, but for a while I was having 1 drink (either a beer or a glass of whiskey) a day. For some reason, one day out of nowhere, I started on a drink at night after I got off work and immediately lost interest in it as if it just completely bored me. Poured the rest of it out and haven't had a craving for an alcoholic drink whatsoever since then. Now it's just water, tea, coffee, and carbonated water, and the clarity of mind I always have now is absolutely wonderful. I don't know what happened that last time I had an alcoholic drink, but I enjoy being sober and don't miss it.
Well done on reaching 100 days.
I am on day 83 with no beer.
Not sure how long I will stay off it.
I am enjoying the experience though!
Nice job! Hope you'll get much out of it, as I did!
The first 30 are tough, at least it was for me.
Mental anguish, and emotional rollercoaster.....oooffff. Dealing with life without the liquid sedative is a painful wake up call. But only then do we realize how sedated we really were! Good luck to anyone going through it! 🎉🎉 It will, unfortunately, never get any easier... to stop. Alcohol is extremely addictive.
Im on day 33, must keep going. 😊
I am in day 96 and hurricane Francine's path will be within 30 miles of my home. It is hitting here tomorrow evening. Please pray for me and me home.
Great video! Doing dry January 4th time in a row! Did 100 days off the sauce in 2020! Felt great! Going for 100 again, but aiming for longer 👍
I'm a week in to no alcohol. did six weeks last year and felt great. for some reason i forgot how good it feels not to feel shit every day. I'm going to do the 100 days, and over christmas and new year.
I did a year sober a while back and it was the best year of my adult life. I then tried drinking "one or two drinks on big occasions only" and that quickly went right back to old patterns.
I wasn't an alcoholic or a problem drinker, just performing consistently below what I was capable of in life. I find joy in performing well at things I'm passionate about, and even a drink or two can mess up sleep, and I can't give it my all the next day.
Back sober for 3 weeks and the benefits are creeping back in. Sleep is improving, I have more emotional control, and can focus more on things I care about.
For me, it's an "either or" scenario. Either I find joy in putting my best foot forward with passions, or I find temporary happiness in a couple of drinks throughout the week and cope with being mediocre. Tell myself it's ok.
The polite thing to say right now is "everyone is different and you need to find your own balance whatever drivel" but I don't buy it. Sounds like the excuses I made to sell myself short and drink.
Be careful with going back to "occasional drinks" - it'll catch up to you the moment you're not diligent. I hope you stay sober and keep enjoying both the non-alch beers and the piano :)
Woohoo!! Congrats on your alcohol free discovery. I’ve done a similar experiment and have found the same - my body doesn’t really like it.
Hacks?
1. Flavored seltzer, cold bubbles to sip pint after pint and the same satisfaction of going to your fridge and cracking one open.
2. Kombucha! Fermented black tea - my tummy does happy flips for the probiotics over the (typically) gluten packed beer
Kombucha and it's probiotics are tremendous. Especially after suffering from alcohol use/abuse.
What a great video. I agree, I stopped drinking for 2 months and it tasted horrid when I went back. I have decided to stop for good, I love alcohol free beer and they have got much better these days.
Great to hear you reason about this! Me and my wife are planning to minimize our consumption of alcohol as well and now I feel I have the more reasons too. I would like to add that what you mention about feeling full of energy, enthusiasm, I get that feeling also when I go for sustained periods of time without carbohydrates. I have done fasting for 4-5 days several times and most people think I'm crazy going without food but for the most part I feel amazing. Maybe something to read about and try as well? :)
Damn good timing! It was 21:40, twenty minutes before shops stop selling alcohol (and the shop is 7 minutes' walk away), I was feeling hungry and irritated, saw an old Pringles tube on the shelf and suddenly wanted some chips - so making a beer run seemed a no-brainer.
And then I got a notification about this video :-D
Fantastic video.
I’m 62 days alcohol free today and it really does feel great: however my cravings have been undulating for the past 3 Days and yes I can observe the thoughts Passing by, however just can’t figure
Out what the cravings....
👏👏👏👏👏👍
After drinking alcohol-free Guinness for many months, I tried the regular version and it tasted like the alcohol-free version.. but with added hairspray. I thought something was wrong with it at first but then I realised it's what my 14 year old self experienced when I first tried beer.
Long live alcohol-free versions 👍
I'm feeling so good this time gone back swimming , increased my walking and eating really really healthily so like you I feel I don't want to go back to alcohol again as it has no appeal whatsoever and I'm only on day 19 for this 2nd stint but feel like I've had a real change in mindset
I’m inspired. Easter was foggy in my head, the day after. I’m starting the 100 day countdown today 4/10 🏃🏽♂️
When I'm not drinking I'm so much more productive, but surely there should be more to life than crossing things off a to-do list (and I'm not sure the stuff on the list is that important anyway). I miss those lazy 'wasted' (as in wasting of time - and killing brain cells) afternoons/evenings drinking 'too much'. I wish I could find a way to disconnect and have a short break from life when sober. Mediation is great, but its hard and doesn't come in a convenient 750ml bottle. I agree the alcohol free beers are amazing, and the industry is up over 300% this year here in Australia, so I'm really looking forward to more options!
I've been off it since the pubs closed here in Scotland on October 7th. I have to say I haven't felt all that much better. Maybe it's because of the continued lockdown but I expected to feel much more energised and less anxious. The pubs reopen here next week and I'm looking forward to a few pints but I will definitely be more conscious of how much I'm drinking in future.
Love this, stumbled upon whilst doing your parenting course. I love Erdinger non alch beer, and Eisberg white and rose non alch wines, the red is ok but the Chardonnay and rose much better and moreish! Ive given up booze recently aswell. 5 months off in 2019 and going for more this year, hopefully forever. My mindset changes too when I stop drinking beside physical benefits.
Stumbled onto this. Not something that I'd usually click on, but did anyway.
I think I have a new plan for the summer.
Many many thanks!
I will stop for weeks at a time but FOMO always pulls me back for a weekend six pack eventually. It provides no anguish for me, but also no relief. Does anyone relate?
I found success using alcohol as part of my reward system. For example, I tell myself that in order to drink I'll have to eat right and exercise for 2 weeks and if I do that I'll reward myself. If I don't do that then I don't get to drink. I might be wrong but it's working for me so far
Yes. Ill stop for months. Then start again, only weekends, but it builds. Currently haven't drank for nearly 4 months, but will drink at xmas, stop in the New year. Its 9th Dec 2023. The benefits of not drinking are great, yet feel I should have a reward at Christmas, alcohol seems the one. ???
I haven’t been drinking for 1,5 years now and I am not going back to it. I enjoy it so much! Always clear minded en never hung over.
Great effort! I never really drank alcohol, except during my studying days because of peer pressure. Just never really liked it. Similar as smoking and all that. But from the socially induced vices towards an cup of tea or coffee, maybe small, but ultimately the same questions arise. There is a physical/mental reaction especially when drinking coffee that has triggered a lot of debate about it use and its health effects. The next step would be the amount of food you take, especially important in this age where so many people are obese. In the end the conclusion could be that every type off food has its effect it is possibly only the quantities you take in. Anyway, the discussion on this subject is not finished....my brain tells me I have other things to do.....
I did 100 days without alcohol during 2020 of all years to give up and like you I started back it's now 2023 I'm day 19 and planning not to go back again so hoping I'll be like you 2nd time around
I'm 59 now and quit drinking back in '98. Drinking was becoming more of a habit than an occasional libation. So I quit drinking and bar-tending and started over with a nice job working at LA County Department of Parks and Recreation at South Coast Botanic Garden. 100% change in my life and lifestyle. I didn't do the "12 step program" I'm not religious and I don't crave alcohol, I despise it because of the way I felt about myself when I was drinking. Now I'm as healthy as I ever was, and don't miss it a bit. I drink NA beer around others, mainly to make them more comfortable - I like St Pauli NA as my favorite. Heineken Zero is real good and when I was in Ireland (didn't think they would even make NA beer), but they do and I found a great one, just don't remember the brand. Lastly on this, when I quit drinking, I found I was experiencing extreme anxiety and was diagnosed with depression. Now I'm trying to get off the medication... The moral? In moderation kids, moderation. My new vice? Meditation - it works!
Didn't think we'd even have alcohol free beer here in Ireland? What do you think we are over here?
I'm 64 days sober, and I feel like shit. Dizzy anxiety is just shitty. Don't get how people feel so amazing. Not for me. I'm still going a year regardless, but this sucks. I miss the feeling of the first beer taking away my anxiety and making me feel more relaxed. Anyway, I'm sure it's healthier, just not feeling great, and I was only drinking 8 to 12 beers a week. Sometimes over the week or in a day or two. Iunno, maybe it's just me or will take more time to feel better.
18 months alcohol free - no regrets!!! Hands down best decision I ever made
Day 64!! I love it
Good for you!
Me too! Age 76.
Been there seen that done it come to conclusion no benefit to drinking alcohol stopped it five years ago,
Bonjour! je suis québécoise BTW. I was never that much int alcohol and definitely didn't need to go back to it after my 2 pregnancies and breastfeeding experiences. Life without alcohol is so great because ou have more energy and better cognitive functions to get things done with a clear mind!
interesting story. I am drinking alcohol from time to time. I'm a wine lover but there can be more than 100 days without alcohol for me, and I don't have any different taste or feeling about it after so long time. I enjoy it as always. But thanx for sharing this
Great job. I’m trying my best.
As a good Belgian, curious to know your zero-alcohol beer recommendations! I really like the Alflighem Blond 0.0% - tastes as good as the normal 6% version. Also like the Jenever Fun 0.0% beer - very crisp and dry, which is unusual for a zero alcohol. Also tried a 0.0% Guinness the other day, and that was as good as the original!
Hmmm, I stopped drinking over twenty years ago. At first, I took the traditional route. I went to meetings and subscribed to the belief systems, alcohol, lifelong recovery, and disease theory. I quickly realized if I kept thinking about drinking or not drinking, I was going to start drinking again. Because it kept the alcohol ball in play and was always on my mind by going to meetings and talking about my past and other’s struggles with alcohol. So, I stopped talking, thinking, and adapting my identity around alcohol and got on with my life. About ten years ago, I looked for answers why I didn't struggle and found neuroplasticity provided a lot of clues. Simply put, I stopped walking the same path and forged a new one. I never talked about it and lived a life without any limitations of being around alcohol and if I ever wanted to drink I would. I just haven't wanted to. I didn't drink for taste. I drank for effect. Who I am today I have no interest in affecting my reality. Have you ever read or listened to Marc Lewis?
Thank you for this! 🙏
I felt so good after a month off, I kept going and here I am at five weeks.. will see how long I go
I havent been drinking since 2021! I feel great!
98 days in for me.. been drinking Heineken 0.0 pretty often really helps and taste great to me..
Lol he spit the beer out
What was the non alcoholic beer you liked?
That's an interesting point to which I can actually really relate. I obly did a few weeks without drinking but I still had a similar experience.
I tried sober oktober the first time last year an i liked it so much that I even extrnded it to 6 weeks. Then I did dry January and I also apontaniously decided to not drink in Mai.
I experienced something pretty similar to you, when I drank the first beer with alkohol again, I ould relly taste the alkohol out. It was like as if my brain told be there is something poisenous in there. It kinda felt like my tastebuds were doing a chemical analysis and sought out the bas substance it was really weard. Especially after drinking so much alcohol free beer before (I still not quite like the taste the same but as you I drink it way more today and always have alcohol free beer at home as well).
Of course after only a few weeks without alcohol my brain was "reset to default" pretty quickly and after I had a few beers it decided that I "liked" the taste again.
The brain is a scary powerful thing in such regards...
you are conning yourself... it's RARELY the taste people are after --- > > IT'S THE EFFECTS.
Day 1 for me. Wish me luck 🍀
Thank you. I subscribed.
I love the editing 😁
2 years on, how is it going for you now?
118 days for me and our local supermarket sells Sav Blanc called Ellenvale and its delicious! Also Carlton zero beer is fantastic and also sold at Coles!
I'll have to try that. Thanks for the tip!
One month,no problem,I’m about to start reading Allen Carr’s,Quit drinking without willpower, I herd it’s pretty awesome 👍
I have lots of luck stars. One of them is, I am NOT addicted to alcohol. To hear and see people be so excited about drinking it just boggles my mind. I do NOT drink. I just don't. I have never had too, never even really wanted to. Yes, I will occasionally have some wine or champagne as a celebratory gesture, like at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Maybe I'll have a sip to help congratulate a person's promotion. To having it on my mind ALL THE TIME??? . . . .ummm- no.
Stopped drinking alcohol mainly cuz of meds but also cuz of really really bad hangovers. Used to love a cold beer once in a while but now beer tastes so horrible. Enjoying non-alcoholic beers now. Also hate the buzz if there where instances where i had have some alcoholic beverages. Life is much better without alcohol.
Well done.
I have been Sober for six years
Almost a year sober here! ....and its been horrible.
Fucking 1000 days coming up on 8/27...glad to be here!!
Good for You 🤝👍😎
Thanks 👍
The near beers have gotten really good like Athletic Brewing NA IPAs (who'd have thought!) and it never ceases to amaze me how I can just walk away sober and sharp after even 3 of them. Still sleeping sound, waking up early, full of energy, not stuck in the alcohol drunken spiral of giving up most of the day for pleasures instead. Experiencing the ability to have a beer and not have it set the course of your day is pretty amazing. Even with 0.5% abv (fruit juice levels) there's no urge to keep going. Often times with regular alcohol, especially after a few at the end of the week, there's this urge to keep self destructing... keeping going... just "sleep in" the next day but that sleeping in is sacrificing our free time and so is the blacking out. It feels fun, feels spiritual - but it's honestly limiting the fun, limiting the spiritual compared to sober alternatives. I've been to Belgium several times - insane levels of drinking with some wow. I have a friend there that's had a much harder time quitting alcohol than myself because of mixing with other stimulants to keep going (I like my sleep each night so not for me).
🤣🤣That spit great asusual👌
365 days with alcohol. Really proud 👍🏻
After 66 days in prison without tabac and alcohol, and I spend these 66 days saying to myself to never go back to smoking qnd drinking onces a free man again..as soon as I was free on the streets again, I stond in front of a supermarket. As the weak asshole I am, DID BUY BEER AND SIGARETS...after that it was as always..drinking and smoking...but i do remember the first can of beer i drank, i also really didn't like the taste all!! But I kept on drinking anyway..dumbest thing i ever did!! It is absolutely sabotage to youself, body and mind
awesome news Greg,, having been drinking non alcoholic beer for quite some time now, you learn a few things,,people respond to a person who states they dont drink differently than to someone who they think does drink,,, so I take my Hahn Zero or whatever I have that has no alcohol, and just fit in,,everyone sees me with a beer in my hand and accepts me as one of them,,,with me the only one knowing the truth of what I am drinking, unless someone asks me, and then I can tell them,it has no alcohol in it, let them try it and see for them selves that it tastes exactly the same as beer with alcohol,,, they are usually impressed and maybe down the road they will try it for themselves,,,as for the wine,,,there are some really good ones out there that have the alcohol removed and you cant tell the difference, except it doesnt have that pull to aggressively drink more,,,look for the ones that state " alcohol removed " some supermarkets have a small range, and on line you will find a range as well,,,just type in "wine with alcohol removed " , and you should get a wide selection,,, watch out for the triggers to return to the old habit of drinking alcoholic stuff and if you do, just stop again,,no need to tell you how you will feel the next day,,I accidently did it once, drank one glass before I realised, and it took three days to get over the effects of it,,never again,,ya dont need it,, oh, you will be surprised at some of the feelings and attitudes that you will have to face in the social situations ,,,as the old saying goes,,,,stay on the path,lol,,,,,
545 and still going strong.
there are tons and tons of good non-alcoholic drinks out there, some are really amazing (but yes, the wines are all awful!)
52 days completed of soberity
I'm really enjoying my alcohol free beer occasionally and loving a clear head next day
great vid
respect for 100 days alcohol free - and keep going! You know those hangovers where you swear you will never touch alcohol again? It was after my 25th birthday celebration, and I didn't drink for 10 years. I started back, and over the last years it has become a daily thing. Not alcoholic, but still too much, too often. So I am now 3 weeks into alcohol free and not missing it at all!. I set out to do 30 days free but expect I will continue as well - your video is great encouragement for that. The reasons you highlights - focus, energy, etc? Even 3 weeks in, it feels great, and i look forward to the difference 3 months in. Thanks for the video insights - affirming and encouraging!
Good luck Joanne, it's really a new life. It's been over a year now for me. It's not that I don't miss it. It's stronger than that. I'm really glad I got rid of it. Looking back, it was just a nasty little habit that was slowing me down...
I guess the bad taste is why the industry makes sweet flavoured concoctions aimed at teens.
100 DAYS AS WELL. NO ALCOHOL UNLESS IT'S A SPECIAL OCCASION. JUICE & WATER ROTATION GOT ME THROUGH ALONG WITH PRAYER & WORSHIP. OF COURSE WITH GOD FIRST OF ALL.
There are some amazingly good non alcoholic beers being brewed at the moment.....I have made the switch
Very interesting, as always!
Thank you Cara :)
Enjoyed video apart from the serious side I had good laugh.
Just did 30 days
I feel awesome
But I have occasionally and extremely powerful urges to drink
Good news is, I have conquered all.
I wanna move to 3 months, 6 months, a year, five years, and forever.
Alcohol abuse feels like a disease, like a prison
Looks like a WW2 German Tank Commander.
28 days!
A beer without alcohol isn't beer.
Nice video I enjoy it! How about weed? Would it be the same or similar?
Good question... well, this is quite controversial. A lot of scientists have tried really hard to show us the dangers of it. But what they found, was actually the contrary... Short answer: if you use it sparcely (I don't know exactly the limit, but my guess would be once or twice a month), it's actually good for your brain. Marijuana at least and Mushrooms also. They both stimulate neurogenesis and calm down the amygdala. Avoid pills in all forms and shapes (including powder). They can really damage your brain.
Brain Academy thank you for the quick response and info!
You can’t cut alcohol back you’ll just end up drinking what you drunk before you stopped drinking !!!
14603 days for me . I have no desire to drink . Have fun
Moths at a time here i hate it
Star doing sports and obsess ovet it as it can help you
I quit drinking 16 years ago. I drank maybe 10 Nonalcoholic beers after I quit. It just seemed like a waste of money to me. It is my opinion that no one drinks alcohol for the great taste. If alcoholic beverages taste so good why don’t we have nonalcoholic tequila? Vodka? Whiskey? It all tastes like garbage....
Same here, it's best to quit before you start
I bet he went back to drinking a bit! :)
Why is it zero alcohol beers is more expensive that beer with alcohol? You'd think the Government would subsidise it wouldn't you? Ah! hang on...the Government gets lots of money from alcohol duty!
Say alcohol one more god damn time…
Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
Alcohol does not ruin things, it is the excess of it that ruin things. Alcohol is a necessary vehicule in wine that transports aromatic molecules from the glass to your nostrils therefore allowing you to enjoy the olfactory and gustatif experience. Foggy feelings come from abuse obviously, maybe it is because of the abuse that people try to back up from it, just like people having issues with drugs. I believe that life would be soooo boring without the pleasure of 1 delicious glass of wine with friends and/or family. It makes life worthwhile without even considering that wine or other alcoholic beverages have been part of human civilization as an important cultural, social and economic factor, anyways, i have so many reasons for continuing drinking and discovering all the delicious wines around the world. All i am saying is extreme positions are so wrong and Good luck in your search.
And now, try to imagine getting that same feeling of pleasure, but without the alcohol... :)
@@BrainAcademy1 did you ever find a good wine without alcohol? i am finishing 100 on Sunday and am going to experiment with a delightful pino noir....strange though because i feel slightly uneasy about drinking because i feel so much better the last 100 days without it...so why even start, but like you, i am now starting to crave that glass of wine...
You sound like the devil
You're trying very hard to extoll the virtues of moderate drinking. Wishful thinking?
alcohol is a poison !! It is a poisonous chemical ! It poisons every organ in you body !! Slowly Slowly , Little by Little , Bit by Bit , Day by Day , Alcohol is killing you !! ALCOHOL IS A POISON!!!! You are willingly , knowingly sipping a noxious highly dangerous poison every time you pour yourself your necessary vehicle and aromatic molecules !!! You are pretentiously committing very slow suicide !!!
Maybe you could invent it or find some else to do it 😉
I’m looking for the 100 day bender videos not this crap
Same thing happened to me after 30 days of no alcohol. I was so excited on the last day and i wound up hammered after 3 beers. The next day i realized that the 30 days without alcohol was so much better and so i am now committing to 1 year with no alcohol
Exactly what I did and happened
This is exactly what happened to me. I drank on Friday last week after 30 days got hammered and the hangover lasted 3 days so I’m gonna go for another 30+ days again and keep it going like that
yeah, waking up "oh boy, I don't miss this one bit"
Same thing? He spit it out, he didn’t get hammered.
Why do 30 then start again, how could the results ever be different?
I've done it too and within 3 days I'm in full regret again....no more for me. 😊
I did 100 days drunked again and been in and out with addiction Don't ever start drinking again!
Try again
🙏
@@rowanfrancis9011 When I tried everything available to help me stop, it got expensive and none of it ever worked. So I got serious about God who honored my surrender and my devotion to the AA program.

Yeah. Really sound words. I almost broke yesterday after 60 days. My sponsor said to me “how will you feel tomorrow?” I thought, well, apart from anxious, sick and guilty, not too bad. So I did not proceed.
Hey Gregory congratulations and much respect for going 100 days without alcohol! I struggled with alcoholism and I am approaching my 30 days alcohol free on May 6 and this is just more inspiration, I also bought your course on neuroplasticity and I have been doing some of those exercises and it is really having a profound impact on my life thank you
Thanks for sharing Riqui. I'm glad this may help you to continue. Thumbs up!
@Nasir Ameer sad little man
My first 30 days has now morphed into over three years now. I could not be more encouraged to keep up the great work. It is so worth it! Well done! Congratulations for your new healthier and happier life.
@@Arcticnick wow that's great! That's a great goal man I want to do the same keep it up brother!
Your reaction time is pretty speedy! Another positive effect of no booze? Just kidding. Cheers! And well done. I really encourage you to consider incorporating it as a permanent lifestyle.
44 days clean. What you said make perfect sence...I have found that non alcoholic beer has the effect on me. No more cravings. I love being clean of booze...
