Yes Amalie should start her cooking channel again.
Definitely, she should reactivate her cooking channel!
I would love to learn easy, healthy receipts for daily life made from ingredients commonly available in Portugal.
Agree, she is a natural.
Please! 🙏
Joen, I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that you are making a conscious decision! I had told you my boyfriend‘s in a nursing home well that’s where he will be for the rest of his life for his alcoholism. He’s only in his 50s. I know you’re young, but you age quicker if you’re an alcoholic. I can’t wait to watch you both lead a healthier lifestyle. Find the root of your anger and upset. It should not be directed towards anybody else. Love you both.❤❤❤❤❤
Im sorry about his situation. It demands self-awareness and a true desire for wanting to change. Most people wouldn’t admit they even have a problem bc living very unhealthy is so normalized in todays world. Maybe send him my ayahuasca video? Thats what started my road to sobriety! ♥️
I am so sorry about your boyfriend. You've shared good advice.
I also know a person who ended up in nursing homes because of alcoholism. He was only in his 50's as well... in his case it caused Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is a form of dementia. It's heart-breaking to see people we love drink their lives away. My sister has stopped drinking, after 45 years of heavy drinking (since she was 13), but there is permanent damage.
Thank you for this video. Thank you for your 'honesty'. We NEED this type of exposure as well. I admire you both all the more!!!
Cheers! ♥️
I know so many people who would say they wanna stop smoking or drinking or both but keeps putting it off not realising that its their addiction (like a security blanket) that are keeping them from making a change…. So liberating when you actually do get to that point…. So much more freedom when you dont need to have a smoke or a drink to be happy!
Good for you!! I work in ICU and Man... Patients in withdrawal is one of the saddest things. Alcoholism is a disease... your body creates an awful dependence to alcohol, literally when you stop is like depriving your system of breathing. Imagine how intense it gets that you get admitted to ICU.
Thank you for such a candid honest video, so down to earth and raw. Well explained by real people. My wife and I have been following you since the beginning and really enjoy your content. The topic of alcohol is not an easy one however you both nailed it perfectly and I’m 100% positive that this video will help many of your followers who are knowingly or unknowingly going down that same slippery slope. We are also transitioning to Portugal and want to enjoy a healthier lifestyle there and appreciate all your information including this video. Obrigado Manuel and Carol.
Really appreciate your honesty in sharing your experience. And YES! please bring back some cooking.
Thanks, Maria! ♥️
Amazing! The hugging tree part got me :p I hope you keep on practicing the art of yoga !!
"Balance.....lets go have a burger" lol
Love it.
Your conversation on alcoholism was endearing and so positive.
You are an amazing couple.
Another awesome video.
I could spend hours watching you guys......!
And you guys are Classy in simple and economic options too!
PS: Yes. Amalie should start doing the cooking videos.
The meal you guys had now looked absolutely delicious
Aww, thanks so much! ❤
Please Amalia your cooking videos were so good 😊
First, yes to the cooking channel. I still use 3 of your recipes that I love!
Joen, however this journey works for you... what ever it takes... I hope you stay the course and really get to know AND love yourself deeply. You appear to have a lot of preconceived ideas around drinking... and I imagine a lot of that was what you've convinced yourself of.
Like another commenter, I know of someone who ended up in a nursing home in his 50's because of his alcoholism... ended up with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, an early onset dementia. So sad, he died far too young. We all know the stories of people who've destroyed their lives and others.
My sister is an alcoholic... started drinking when she was 13. Her body is wracked with problems BUT she quit last summer after more than 45 years of heavy drinking. She got to the point (FINALLY) of being afraid for her life. She's lost great jobs, our family cottage and many friends because she never outgrew the drinking. She resorted to stealing... I'm grateful she is doing better.
My first husband started drinking heavily and would sometimes pick fights with me when he would come home in the middle of the night drunk. One time it was so out of hand I asked him to leave me alone because I needed to sleep because I had to get up early for work the next day. He lost control and I was black and blue. The only time in my life a man has ever laid hands on me like that. I left him (of course). I wasn't going to let that happen again. I've personally seen the anger, the grief, the loss because of it and none of those things are worth it. Be healthy and be happy. No more preaching... just simply care and share. Big hugs to you both!
Congratulations 👏✊. I am also 5 years sober in October and imagine I live in Denmark 😉😁. I am so happy for my decision. One of the best decisions that I made in my life .
Respect ✊👏💪.
You two are such great personalities. Keep up the fight Joen, you are gaining on it. You will find that you can get high on everything in life without drugs(alcohol). My best to both of you.
The story of my life ! I end in yoga too... to be honest, it was yoga that realy change my life and save me from the alcool ! ❤
I ❤ your cooking channel, Amelia! You should do more of those videos 🤗
This channel appears to me right when I most needed it.
Love you two and really love your honesty and vulnerability. Wishing u clearer vision and appreciation for your life .
Thank you so much! We are moving in the right direction... We think! 😄
Really appreciate this!❤❤❤❤❤
love this video, genuine as always. I rarely drink (if I do its one drink) and my life is full of beauty, magical moments and fun!!
No judgment. It's great the you are making the effort to improve your lives.
I appreciate that!
Keep up the good work Joen. 👏🏻👏🏻. With age comes wisdom.
Thank you! Does it come automatically with age or do I have to work for the gained wisdom? 🤣
@@stayclassyvlog No need to work on it, it will come naturally 🤣.
We are so proud of you!!
♥️
Well done on breaking the habit, dude. Doing that in Portugal / Madeira is probably harder than most other places as well. I've managed to make it less of a life feature thankfully. Love the spring water idea! We distil water, re-mineralise, charge and speak some positivity into our drinking water. Though, I think it'd be good to mix that up with some spring water also. Do you have a little checklist for water source selection? As in, collecting only from springs at a certain altitude, or emanating from a certain type of grassy spring, for example? It's simple, but game-changing!
So happy for you and the discoveries you’ve made about life without drinking. It only gets better.
Please!! Yes!! I would love your cooking demonstrations!
Btw, I quit drinking for 21/2 years. I had to for a personal check.
I know, that seems silly to document as such. But if you drink or not, it’s important.
I commend you both bc it takes a good support system!
Blessings on all you do. I so enjoy your videos, & so does my Cairn Terrier. She loves seeing Lara!
went to Madeira in the end of May with my girlfriend, when we went to the Fanal Forest, right at the top, facing the ocean, we saw 2 girls doing yoga, and it looked so peaceful and calming, you should try to do it there.
What you were like is exactly what my ex husband used to do and be like. His insecurities and shyness also led him to drink in the first place. I gave him an ultimatum 16 years ago and he chose to keep drinking over his wife and child. It is tragic. Even worse for so called "functional alcoholic" which is sometimes even worse as it masks the problem to everyone but those that live with the person there is no masking it. Proud of you. Unexpected turn to your channel but I am really enjoying this new content.
Congrats on staying sober. Congrats on having such a beautiful house and such a beautiful life together. Just know you are incredibly gifted as a videographer, editor and travel host. The best of luck to you. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
Aww thanks so much for your kind words! ♥️♥️♥️
Appreciate your open conversation and enjoying slow lifestyle ❤ thank you 🙏
Proud for you both... well done 👍 keep strong and positive
Keep being amazing you two!! Love your content and openness about life. ❤
Glad to see you guys are coming to a normal conclusion about the reality of life. The simple things are very necessary to balance our mind and bodies. The toxicity of mind altering substances do not define us, but only obscure reality. Living in the moment slows things down and calms our compulsive feelings. Enjoy your day.
Good boy!!! 😂😂😂😂❤
Congratulations, Joen, and thank you for sharing your experience. We are meant to grow & develop and we cannot do that without taking a brutally honest look at ourselves from time to time. This takes courage and you have clearly taken a courageous step forward in your life.
Do you keep a journal?
I'm in my mid-50s and when I was younger I kept a diary, now and then. It's fascinating to reread what I wrote 15, 20, or 30 years ago because I am such a different person today. When I look back, I am happy to say that I have no regrets and feel I made the most of my youth - chiefly because I faced my fears.
I also liked how you thanked God for your blessings. We are both material beings, as well as spiritual. So often we neglect our spiritual self - to the detriment of our physical self.
Inspiring stuff, Joen. Keep going! Your older self will thank you.
"Be mindful. Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind." - Roy T. Bennett (Your message summed up in a quote.)
Hi Guys, love the channel
I wanted to ask you something, I remember that Amelia had done the stem cell treatment awhile back in Mexico if I recall, I wanted to know if she had positive results and would you recommend doing it?
Thank you so much
Keeping it simple is good.
Joen has all the natural framework to end up being a Viking god if he simply focused on exercising. Get some resistance bands, weights, and make it your morning routine, along with some Yerba mate and an expresso. You’ll naturally feel good! Lift weights, not glasses.
Haha! Thanks for the kind words! I will make my best effort in becoming a viking yoga god 🤣🤣! We are practicing 1h15m 6 days a week so I will get there! 😄
Joen! You are going to enjoy life to the full now..well done🏆
First thing, I am extremely proud of you for stopping drinking. But here’s the bad part. I have been a RN working in hospital for 27/yrs and caring for alcoholics. I know their struggles and I’ve seen so many fall off the wagon because of two reasons. First, once a Alcoholic always a alcoholic and it is a hereditary disease something that sometimes can be out of your control. Second, the patients who I see that successfully stop long term are people who join AA and use the AA as your support. Amelia is an exceptional support by her not drinking as well but it’s imperative you go to support meetings and have other support by the professionals. They teach you how to hopefully never to fall off the wagon one day which could be a year or two away but with a support from a AA is so important. Also, alcohol will destroy your liver and once that happens you have to detox for 6=months before ever getting on a transplant list to save your life. I’ve seen people die many times from this disease. Keep up the good work !
Congratulations on both your discipline and dedication to choosing to live a healthy life style. If we don't make wellness a priority...an illness will eventually become the focus. And Amalie ...YES YES YES ...I LOVE your recipes! And again...make food your medicine or medicine will become your food. On a selfish request...maybe you could master the art of cottage cheese (breads, wraps, ice creams, cakes, etc). Since we started replacing breads with homemade cottage cheese and egg wraps (yes only two ingredients needed) my husband has lost two pants sizes and I have lost 12lbs. It's so high in protein and very satisfying. I would love to see your spin on elevating the recipes! Oh to jumpstart our weight loss journey we did do a 3 day egg fast and it truly worked!
Drunk Joen is always my favourite Joen, but do what’s best for you!
How about high Joen? Is that something you would be interested in? 🤣
Good for you Joen, I am with Amelie its all a question of balance.
Learn how important balance is even though you go from one extreme to the other. Just be.
I love this!❤
I love YOUR videos xD
♥️🙏🏼♥️
Good job Joen! Keep fighting.
Just watched your video on your jungle house!
Wow so beautiful!!
To have Paradise and also be self sufficient.
Just wonderful!!
healthy body, healthy mind, it's a journey
Fantastic video..!!! Love the truth video...
I never was drinking in my life and when we go with friends to have dinner, often I experience that it's hard for them to accept if somebody doesn't want to drink with them. They take it often personally. I never get it!
BTW...Kombucha...why you don't try to make it yourself? My father already made it himself more than 30 years ago. All kind of stuff which you make yourself are very fullfilling. Try it!
Joen, you are so similar to the guy of Pasta&Panda on tiktok, I don’t know if anyone has told you that before but I thought it was you for a second hahah
Amalie . we are waiting for new recipes ! :)
The key word to a good and balanced life is 'moderation' whether food or drink. (and other activities)
For so many people, this unfortunately this lack of willpower is the stumbling block and leads to an unhealthy style of life.
I have to say, I am curious why Amalie stayed through all those years. She does all the cooking, cleaning, and what looks like, years of patient babysitting. Living with someone who cannot regulate their emotions/ tantrums, and who becomes reclusive without liquid courage, due to their crippling insecurity, is not particularly enjoyable. I am hoping there is some deeply romantic and generous aspect in private that balances the years of immaturity.
Being openly vulnerable and changing for the better is very commendable. However, doing things for others, and sacrificing personal comfort, is where true change resides. I always enjoy your videos, you both deserve tons of views. The colour coding and drone videos were excellent, good work as always.
I like the fully-stocked wine rack in the background ... or is that just for "decoration?"
Decor :) until we can have colorful jars with fermented foods
Usually having a kid is the motive you stop drinking and getting a motorcicle is the way you change the vices or is it the other way around? xD
Start something really hard like surfing + go out with amelia to spots where the waiters know you and know better than to offer you alcoohol.
Having a kid scares the bejesus out of us 😄
Is it Kambucha you have in all those bottles you store in your wine rack? 😁
GUYS can you show how to make non alcoholic long drinks I miss campari and soda
If you were drinking coffee at 1:30 I need to know how you do that
Please may i ask where do u guy's go to collect ur water from ? ❤
What camera are you using? Is it DJI Osmo Pocket? Txs
For this video Canon R3
I drink but i never get drunk!
The more we drink, the faster we get old and the lungs get sick 😩
Just popped by to say Hi!
I legit don’t know how Amelia dealt with you before. Kudos.
Me neither 😄
❤
PRO TIP - if you play the video back at 25% speed you both sound very drunk!
Alcoholism is indeed terrible but most men who live to be over 100 drink alcohol (in moderate amounts!) regularly, so make of that what you will
read that its very small amounts of wine though. not like a bottle
It's red wine... and that doesn't work with alcohoolics
8:23 that's a big fall
It's small... but it's not a cat
Will this urine drinking lead to the Cult of the Soma? It is in the Scandinavian genes.
Yep 😄
Need a mountain bike, got some of the best trails in the world at your door step
Lol, on Madeira? No way! We did that once and Amalie fell. She still has problems with her shoulder 😳
Haha ain't no way you didn't know about the MTB on this island
Hej ni befinner er på den finaste plats på jorden, och smarta som ni är och med bra inställning om livet, jordnära insikter och kloka beslut det är allt som behövs för att bli lyckligt jag önska er allt gott
♥️
BTW I'd do more research on the urine thing. It may just be a fad.
🤣
😎
I almost stopped the video after the first 10 seconds. that would be gross. seriously- you guys dont need to do weird tricks to improve your health. just eat healthy and rink the right amount of fluids. one think I see that you guys need to change is your consumption of sugar! the crap you were eating on your hike to the end of the world was so unhealthy! I have stopped eating sugar for almost 3 months now. so many benefits! and I stopped drinking heavily about 3-4 years ago when I broke up with my alcoholic girlfriend that I was with 5 years. now I probably have 1 -2 beers in a month at most. many months no alcohol at all. I cant even imagine having a heavy syrupy red wine now. and of course, alcoholic drinks are packed with high levels of sugar too! there's a great video on YT by Dr Eric Berg about how alcohol is the #1 thing that will prevent you from losing weight, because it shuts down the liber's ability to burn fat far 24 hours after drinking. and I have to say it does look like Joen has lost some weight over these last 4 months!
Wellcome to the path😅
I drink wine less than five times per year. I just don't enjoy the way my body feels after I drink alcohol.
Please don't belittle the condition of autism by saying we're all on the spectrum.
I was not belittling autism. It was a comparison.
learn how to have fun without drinking? I'm crazy fun with a drink and fun without one. 😂
Se calhar, dar graças devia ser o começo e não, algo a pensar.
you are caming to Vietnam ?if you pass in Ho Chi Minh gave me call
Yep. Starting in Saigon and then taking the train all the way to Hanoi
Minimo 2 days from Saigon to Hanoi
perrier is a guilty pleasure? 😂
🤣
FYI: Your videos always show up on my home page, but this one did not. Maybe because of the urine joke? :)
We are used to that. No one gets notifications anymore which can also be seen in our general views. 😄😭😭😭
That's a huge wine rack behind you for someone who doesn't drink alcohol. 1.14
I know, we talked about in our recent video. We still have guests who come and drink. Just because I dont drink doesnt mean no one can drink 😄. Also you cant have a wine rack without having wines on for decorative purposes! 🙌🏼
@@stayclassyvlog You could always stock up on non alcohol wines.
@esarempee that’s blasphemy 😄
You have lost a lot of weight, that's for sure
and looking amazing and healthy I've noticed.
You quit to drink alcohol? You must be drunk...
I'm said, you should drink alcohol :(
Get way... demon
Suggestion……build a car port where you park your car which matches the house style…
Cause…if you leave the car in the sun 24/7 the sun will will destroy it.
Congrats about you stopping drinking alchool….
