Your comment hit me. I stopped drinking when the pandemic started. I slowly started investing that money in the stock market and the way the money is growing I will be sober forever. I realized I made so many unnecessary purchases when drunk it doesn't make sense.
It took me months to quit. It was daily 2020. It was twice to thrice weekly 2021 it was once weekly 2022 in 2023 it was once monthly. Since April, haven’t done it. I am finally seeing results at the end of June. I lost my home, I became homeless, I almost became paralyzed, lost my ability to drive, totaled and crashed my car off a bridge, I’m a felon now, I went to jail, I lost my nursing license, I lost friends, I lost my hope….everything. Gained my health back- physically mentally spiritually. Found my soulmate 1.5 years ago. He also been through addiction. He helped me so much, I have too much to lose now. I was watching your videos even since I was drinking. Your videos helped me more than anyone. Thankful for you still being here and sharing your experience to help others. Now I know why you won’t have kids LOL, it’s your purpose is to be a figure/ mentor to thousands of people. Don’t stop Tim. Universe got plans for you.
575 days sober today. My life, by every metric, is better. I don't have any friends, and no woman, but otherwise my life is very, very much better. My health, wealth, and future outlook are all bright!
Today is day 9 for me. Feeling good. Sleeping great. Keeping myself busy with hobbies big time. Create a routine for yourself. Boring is better than drunk and being hungover. Thanks Tim. I discovered this channel because of these sober videos. You’re a Good man!
I used to drink every day. A liter a day of whisky or brandy. Now i still bench drink (shame on me) but now I take a break in between. I could bench for maybe 1 week then I’ll stop drinking for 3-6 months. My goal is to eventually quite and these breaks are helping bit by bit but recently I’ve been having strong urges to drink but I told my self I’ll take a 3 month break this time and I’m im only 3 weeks in and it feels harder then last time that I took a 6 month break. Like you said sometimes it feels everyday you have to fight the struggle and you get tired of it and you just want it to be over. That’s literally how I feel right now. 😢
Using alcohol, drugs, bad habits are copes to dwell in your misery and remain in the same spot, just spinning your wheels. Once you free yourself, you can get stuff done and live your life. Also, never fool yourself that you can treat yourself with those things when you are sober.
Gave up smoking in my late 20s when the dentist told me I'd start losing my teeth. Quit cold turkey. Quit drinking in my 30s when I started to get violent and lost a really good friendship to it. Its like the ONLY thing you focus on and runs your whole life. Discovered my artistic nature & started to write & paint. Years later I would publish a book. Gave up weed 2 years ago after my awakening. Body started to reject everything. Heart palpitations, hospital trips, etc.. So much time wasted on dealing with these vices. Learned a lot and wouldn't change anything because I'm strong now, but yeah...as hard as you can, sober up! It's amazing what you will discover within yourself. Take your life back! I love who I am now. ❤
I'm sober once again for over a month now. And I appreciate content like this to serve as a reminder of why it's so important for someone like me to remain on this sober journey. Thank you, Tim.
@@Byenia The most I've stayed sober was 3 months because a doctor said my liver was enlarged. She said if I stopped drinking it wouldn't be so enlarged. So that made me stop even though I had a 12 pack in my room that I kept staring at. To stop drinking is a harder goal than it seems. I just want to get to the point where I'm tired of it and forget about it.
This!! The way I view my sobriety now is VASTLY different from how I viewed it the other dozen times I quit. The time I quit for good wasn’t even my worst spell with alcohol- not even in my top 20 worst times of using. I knew it was time though cause I got insanely tired of the cycle and my goodness the hangovers. Celebrating 8 months of sobriety at the end of this month!! You’ve been one of the few ppl on TH-cam that has helped me a lot with sobriety and your videos on it are truly motivating and inspiring!
Trying to drop weed as we speak. That's what this video will apply to me and I already know Tim gone speak these facts! Ik I could get to my "goals" way quicker without it which is the attachment part. I'm literally only 20 and be stressing like I'm grown creating my own illusions in my head. Stay strong guys
@@SuperClare Thank you so much your comment means so much to me❤️‼️‼️‼️ wish you nothing but blessing we will achieve whatever we put our minds to 🏆 🏆❤️🔥
Thank you, Tim! I seem to relate to what you say more than just about any other youtuber who has similar content. Almost 4 months sober now, feeling great! I'm not really feeling cravings but remembering some of the fun times makes it tough. Main thing keeping me going is realizing that I'm not really missing anything 🙏
I absolutely love to watch your sobriety videos Tim, you have helped me get to this point in my journey, I was sober for 8 months and then relapses and now I’m back up to 2 months. Thank you Tim
Agreed, things get harder and worse. At least that was my experience. In October I will celebrate 4 years of sobriety. Life has NEVER been better. Sad that it took over 30 years of abusing my body, mind, and soul. Alcohol and drugs are soul snatchers. End it today. Reach out to someone who has quit. Right now. They will point you in the right direction. No, not easy. But do it anyway. Drinking and drugs aren’t easy either. I promise your life will be a celebration. Do it. 🏆🏆🏆
Just in time Tim!🙌🏾🔥 This is exactly what I needed to hear after a 3 week binge. Had some great times but also made an ass of myself several times. Staying sober is not easy because in truth, leading a happy, healthy life takes a LOT of work. I thank God for your channel as it unites all of us who are closer than we think to winning this battle. We are here, we have won.😊🙏🏾
Thank you bro for the encouragement and reminders. Always well received, needed, and much appreciated! I recently stopped drinking for 35 days, then had a few beers on a Saturday night, which only dehydrated me and made me feel groggy the next morning. I thought to myself "why did i drink last night? It wasn't even good." That was last Saturday night. Last night which was Friday, i went to the store for food, but looked at the beer for several minutes. I finally walked away without buying any beer. I woke up today feeling fresh and clear headed. Mental clarity is a beautiful thing! What do i want to do today? Good for you for taking control of your life Tim, and thank you for helping others do the same!
At 60 drank and lived life, I think about all the things I didn't do and many likely to do with nightly beers for decades. I worked, excercised and ate well and by Gods grace still healthy as the world falls apart. I did two weeks sober and cut tobacco in half, excercised daily but that anxiety would creep in, I'm having a few tonight but it's actually not helping. The improved sleep and excercise and resemblance of sanity is way better.
Last yr, I made the decision not to drink anymore. I never thought I would be able to do it. I wonder how i could function in social settings. But God helped me with those cravings and it's been a yr and some months. I'm proud of the progress I've made.
This is such an important video for me. After 40 yrs of drinking I became not such a good guy. This is one of the best videos I have seen on the subject. Every point is painfully true. You are helping people get and stay sober. Best
People need to have a talk with themselves to say that they are tired of dealing with the negative aspects of their habit. You have to love yourself more than the substance you are addicted to. Take care Tim💕
10:39 Being sober brings up such painful emotions. But, of course, they just get worse with alcohol. I am so happy to have found your channel on TH-cam.
HI TIM YOU KNOW I LOVE YOUR SOBRIETY TH-cam VIDEOS STILL GOING STRONG MY BROTHER TIM I AM NOT BRAGGING ON BEING SOBER FOR 3 YEARS BUT TIM I STOP THE DRUGS AND GAMBLING AND I AM NOT A SHAME OF IT 3 YEARS OF BEING SOBER DRUGS AND GAMBLING FREE OF THAT MESS I HOPE SOMEONE WILL BE ENCOURAGED FROM YOUR SOBRIETY JOURNEY TIM AND MY ALCOHOL AND DRUGS AND GAMBLING JOURNEY THANK AGAIN TIM FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL WONDERFUL VIDEO AND MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING YOUR FAMILY AND TH-cam FOLLOWERS LOVE YOU MY BROTHER ❤❤
Brilliant video. Thank you. You speak truth and reality of what it is liked to be in the cycle of insanity… Two DUIs, waking up and trying to piece together what I did what I said.. blackouts, shame, guilt, cancelling life, cancelling people, riddled with anxiety… over 25 years it took my life.. I fooled myself I was “functioning” I got sober 9 months ago… I hit another rock bottom… but this time… I changed my Path and I never ever in my wildest dreams thought it possible… finding your channel recently is awesome… you speak truth. Thankyou. Kia Haka (NZ) stay strong.
Love how you keep it real. Yes, quitting is hard. It’s a struggle. But like you say, continuing to drink is hella harder. It’s brutal. Choose your hard. Quitting has a much happier ending. It is the only option!
Thank you Tim, thanks to your wisdom transcending to me through your videos, I quit drinking and am free from this detrimental drug for quite a while now. Life is much better without alcohol intoxication; no matter what.
@@TimothyWard I really mean it, you have a magical way of convening what alcohol is all about for people like us: I was a party-er too and there is not much content online for folks like us despite being large in numbers. I felt like falling through all the nets until I found your channel which finally represented what I was struggling with. I too had to hear many times "you don't have a problem" or "only full blown alcoholics have a problem" or whatever. Thank you so much for your message!
@@SuperClare Thanks so much, I appreciate it. Thankfully I know in my own mind that its time. I am older and I have seen it gets way way worse with age. Time to stop for sure.
Thank u bro. This is the message I needed to hear all day especially the part where u mentioned your friends and family deciding you aren't a very good person when u are a drunk
I've had one drink in my life and discovered it wasn't for me. The older I get, the more I leave bad habits behind. I'll take your advice and not even have another drink. The way I see it, it's not something that benefits me in any way. We can do this, guys. I believe in us ❤️
I quit everything.....smoking and drinking after 25 years ....i am now 42 and love body & mind......i change my whole life radical and stopt cold turkey now for 2 years .....no "problems" at all....all mindset, focus, discipline.... happyness starts inside you 🙏
I've just discovered your video's and they're inspiring,down to earth and true. I been trying for so long to quit the booze and I'm still trying I wanna give it up before it gives me up! Thanks for being there sharing ur experience.
Preach!!! Getting healthy and sober is the only way to improve your life. I am a work in progress. I love your vids Tim they keep me in check and are great reminders on this journey.
My main struggle is having social anxiety, so unless I'm drinking I'm just always alone and never meeting people, but when I'm drunk, I get angry and violent and scream in the streets, I feel so stuck, I always quit for a few weeks or month and then get drunk again and inevitably rage out again
Thanks, Tim. I needed this. These last few days are always tough every year because my birthday is the 16th, then the next day is St Pat's and it's usually a mess I can't remember. Needless to say, as I'm only a few days sober, it's been tough and the weekend but I'm taking it a day at a time. Because it will only get worse if I don't. Be well, brother!
Things to quit: Drinking beer, wine, vodka etc Smoking weed Smoking cigarettes Taking drugs Life CANNOT be worse without consuming these things, we know this. Let's make it happen 💪
Hey, tim quitting drinking and smoking is very hard. I would advise to seek god first, for strength to stop. Then, i would suggest picking a healthy habit that makes you feel good, like working out or learning a new skill or a language. Find something postive and make it your new addiction.
I had a big problem with gin, I was drinking more and more often as winter was progressing this year especially, I just moved out of my mother's house and I have been so busy and inspired by organizing and starting new and selfcare that I stopped buying gin. Its been a few weeks only but its actually a big progress bcz I was "treating" myself bcz of boredom and the loneliness (even tho I like being alone) too much
0:46-1:12 Dude!!! You get it. I can tell you get it. I do this all the time. I swear.........At 3pm I'm like so positive I'm not drinking today. Like, god himself couldn't get me to! That's how positive I am it's not happening.........Then a couple hours later, "I kinda wanna drink." Like what the hell?!!! I'm so over this lmao.. I'm a keep the process going though. Best believe! I'm beating this demon!
For sure replacing the alcohol with tea helped me to stop and also thinking of the money I wasted on it helped after calculating 50$ for gin every week
Thanks for sharing your story. There are spirits that dwell within that we cannot fight alone. God is the ultimate deliverer. Although one may think that he or she has the will power to resist without God; the person will fall. Proverbs 24:16 (KJV)-“For a JUST man falleth seven times and riseth up again: But the wicked shall fall into mischief”. Your story is inspiring to those who are struggling with alcohol addiction. A question was once posed asking which drug is the most dangerous out there? And many folks responded with the most common ones like Cocaine, Heroin, Methadone, etc…and Fentanyl was included as well. I’m thinking that the answer would be Fentanyl. Although fentanyl is DEADLY; the most DANGEROUS of them all was ALCOHOL. Why? Because Alcohol destroys the home life. Alcohol has been the reason for so many societal ills. And it’s a drug that is SOCIALLY ACCEPTED. That’s why alcohol is the most dangerous. Kudos to you on your sobriety; but the most important thing that any of us can do to be truly delivered from (you said monkey on your back) I say demons, is Christ Jesus.
I use to work in a gas station years ago, they have a law here in AZ where you can't buy alcohol 2am until 6am. Their would be guys waiting for us to unlock the beer doors at 6am, if we were late, that was shocking to me people would buy alcohol that early in the morning!
I love dis content! 💯 Good stuff though! It be funny how you be looking at the camera telling us the truth about that alcohol addiction 😅 Blessings and Abundance to you!
Thank you so much for the great video Tim. I liked and learned so much from it I’m inclined to donate $1.99. Can you all please keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers that he will finally quit drinking? He has been doing this for 32 years now or about half his life. He can only make the choice to quit but prayers and good thoughts 💭 will help. :)
I have been blessed to have 30 yrs. sober 5-1-1993 by the grace of God one day at a time.
Quitting booze was the single most difficult undertaking of my life.
Yesterday, I celebrated my 22nd year of sobriety. Worth it.
Congratulations! And thank you letting us know that even 22 years later, it was worth it.
Amen fam 🙏🏽
Well said Tim 👏. To me drinking is like borrowing $1 today, and owing $10 tomorrow. Once you finally quit, you can finally start gaining some ground.

Getting sober best thing I’ve ever done for my health and life. Almost 7 years praise be to God.
Congratulations on the 7 years of sobriety Maribel!
Amen blessing
It’s all about cutting unhealthy relationships with activities, thinks, and people
I quit too last month. I have more patience, I have better performance at work, I lost 20 pounds and I am setting better example for my family.
More savings tho hehe

Thanks, Tim. I needed this.
These last few days are always tough every year because my birthday is the 16th, then the next day is St Pat's and it's usually a mess I can't remember. Needless to say, as I'm only a few days sober, it's been tough and the weekend but I'm taking it a day at a time. Because it will only get worse if I don't.
Be well, brother!
very well said. love it
One of your best, Timothy. Thank you.
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks Tim. I'm 2 weeks sober. Feeling great. I love these little encouragements
Things to quit:
Drinking beer, wine, vodka etc
Smoking weed
Smoking cigarettes
Taking drugs
Life CANNOT be worse without consuming these things, we know this. Let's make it happen 💪
Hey, tim quitting drinking and smoking is very hard. I would advise to seek god first, for strength to stop. Then, i would suggest picking a healthy habit that makes you feel good, like working out or learning a new skill or a language. Find something postive and make it your new addiction.
This helped me so much today❤️
Had to pause it to say the battle still Continues
Love you for this!
Thank u so much i needed to hear this
Yes, It Is!, good job
I had a big problem with gin, I was drinking more and more often as winter was progressing this year especially, I just moved out of my mother's house and I have been so busy and inspired by organizing and starting new and selfcare that I stopped buying gin. Its been a few weeks only but its actually a big progress bcz I was "treating" myself bcz of boredom and the loneliness (even tho I like being alone) too much
Tim rules ❤
0:46-1:12 Dude!!! You get it. I can tell you get it. I do this all the time. I swear.........At 3pm I'm like so positive I'm not drinking today. Like, god himself couldn't get me to! That's how positive I am it's not happening.........Then a couple hours later, "I kinda wanna drink." Like what the hell?!!! I'm so over this lmao.. I'm a keep the process going though. Best believe! I'm beating this demon!
Good luck Harry! You got this brother!

@@TimothyWard Thanks buddy!!! =D
Nice video Tim.
Thank you for this video
Where the cookies at? 😂
I feel ya Tim.
Im at 3 months.
Thanks man!
It’s so worth it
For sure replacing the alcohol with tea helped me to stop and also thinking of the money I wasted on it helped after calculating 50$ for gin every week
True that.
Thanks for sharing your story. There are spirits that dwell within that we cannot fight alone. God is the ultimate deliverer. Although one may think that he or she has the will power to resist without God; the person will fall. Proverbs 24:16 (KJV)-“For a JUST man falleth seven times and riseth up again: But the wicked shall fall into mischief”.
Your story is inspiring to those who are struggling with alcohol addiction. A question was once posed asking which drug is the most dangerous out there? And many folks responded with the most common ones like Cocaine, Heroin, Methadone, etc…and Fentanyl was included as well. I’m thinking that the answer would be Fentanyl. Although fentanyl is DEADLY; the most DANGEROUS of them all was ALCOHOL. Why? Because Alcohol destroys the home life. Alcohol has been the reason for so many societal ills. And it’s a drug that is SOCIALLY ACCEPTED. That’s why alcohol is the most dangerous. Kudos to you on your sobriety; but the most important thing that any of us can do to be truly delivered from (you said monkey on your back) I say demons, is Christ Jesus.
It is def a lonely fight 😊
I got my weekends back
I use to work in a gas station years ago, they have a law here in AZ where you can't buy alcohol 2am until 6am. Their would be guys waiting for us to unlock the beer doors at 6am, if we were late, that was shocking to me people would buy alcohol that early in the morning!
Love these videos, keep it going Tim !
I'm still drinking but I'm trying. Even got the medication to stop the withdrawals.
Keep fighting, my friend! Glad to hear you are still taking steps to further your journey!
I love dis content! 💯 Good stuff though! It be funny how you be looking at the camera telling us the truth about that alcohol addiction 😅 Blessings and Abundance to you!
Hi Tim, did you manage to get hold of any of Catherine Gray's books in the end?
Thank you so much for the great video Tim. I liked and learned so much from it I’m inclined to donate $1.99. Can you all please keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers that he will finally quit drinking? He has been doing this for 32 years now or about half his life. He can only make the choice to quit but prayers and good thoughts 💭 will help. :)
Thank you so much for the donation Praveen! And I will definitely include your father in my prayers.
@Rosalynn thank you so much Rosalyn and same to you 😊
