34 days Sober and feeling really good today
57, good job
You're doing great!
Great work keep it up legend
And you're never going back, right? 😊
Keep watching his videos. It will help you stay on this path.
I started drinking at 16...I'm 45 now...have been fighting this battle,,and for the first time i am a month +2 weeks sobber......
Congrats, better late then never!
Most people who consume beer, wine, and liquor, do so soberly, in moderation, without becoming non-sober,… or rarely being tipsy. Drunk is not an option, that's just stupid, generally.
Same. I started at 16 and now I'm 47. I couldn't stop. I found the Sinclair method and after 3 months on that I no longer drink. It's been 2 months since I had one. It was fairly easy actually 😃
@@bonsummers2657found the alcoholic deep in denial.
❤❤❤❤
3 days sober today, driving in my car and found my self tearing up listening to this. The sad thing is I put everyone before my self, I'd give anyone my last £10 but I realise I now have to put my self first.
Appreciate everyone of you x
I'm also on my third day, totally relate with what you wrote. Keep on going, buddy.
@xdrummer333 thankyou buddy ,thankyou for replying .!! It's Friday that means 5 days sober for me and the cravings seem to be getting worse
If you can, buy some dumbbells and a basic bench. Hitting the weights is one of the best things you can do. Stay strong 💪
@@mattgregory2669day 3 for me after drinking heavily every day (half a litre of whisky a day) for the past 3 years.
It's tough man but I'm determined to beat this shit.
Keep going you are amazing! You don’t need the shitty ethanol to have fun. It’ll steal your joy and your happiness. Keep yourself busy. Go to the gym. Get a hobby. And one day you’ll realize that you feel sorry for people who still have to drink. You can do this!!! 🎊 🎉
It does take about 6-9 months to get it out of your system. So hang in there and don’t touch that shit ever again. All the best to you!!!
I've quit drinking a little over 2 years ago and so far this is what I've learned:
1. The depression and anxiety I was attempting to curb by drinking got worse at first, but then became so much more manageable. Stick with it.
2. I didn't realize how used to being hungover I had gotten. After the first three months I started to feel like a superhuman.
3. People like me so much more when I'm sober, and one of the reasons I didn't want to stop drinking was because I thought I wasn't going to be fun anymore. Turns out my drinking actually made me a lot less fun for everybody else.
4. The right people in your life will support you, those who don't are not necessary.
5. Quitting is only going to work if it is your number one priority, there will always be an excuse why you want to drink, so your desire to quit needs to be stronger than your reason to drink.
6. Celebrate your milestones, whether it's 3 months, 3 weeks or 3 days. Be proud of yourself every step of the way.
7. Everything in my life got better when I quit drinking, that's not a coincidence. I'm a better husband, better friend, better son and better brother.
8. Talk about sobriety openly, if it makes other people uncomfortable maybe there's some problems they need to come to terms with.
You can do this. Even when it's hard and you think you won't make it, I promise you, you can do this.
Brilliant your journey! Congrats,hugs from south of Brazil.
I quit drinking 2 years ago and it's hands down the best thing I've ever done for myself. Alcohol sucks.
Porn addiction took over my soul and lead me to drinking and getting off my seadtives from mental health drs
How much were you drinking?
@@SkankHuntForty2 at my worst point, I was polishing off an entire 750 of Jameson everyday. I was drinking liquor like water.
😂 my neighbor is always muttering that phrase, “everything in moderation”
He’s a successful functioning alcoholic.
His problem already caught up with him after four decades of fooling himself but he simply refuses to address it. People that act like this remind me of that fable; “The Emperor And His New Clothes”
..lol.. 🥴
I enjoy a cold beer once’s an a while. But most of dessert .
7.5 months sober, and still going strong. These videos help me stay committed to my decision to give it up after more than 10 years of daily binge drinking. Whether you're on day one, week one, or even minute one, you can do this! You can beat it, and you can regain control of your life. Words can't even describe how much more amazing my life became once I cut that poison out of it, and I want that for you. You deserve it.
Stay strong buddy its definitely worth it 👌
Congrats! I'm on week 3 now. Longest I've been without a drink in 30 years. My brain is still healing but the worst is over and I'm never going back.
@@daerth4423 That's amazing!! Congrats on 3 weeks! It gets better. Keep it up!
Alcohol destroyed the love in our family! Alcohol brings no one a better life!
I think it proves even one sip is bad bad bad. It is a legalised drug. Mind you so are psych drugs. And food additives. Truth is needed in this. This video tells the truth. Respect your body and yr health. I'm trying to from now on.
4 years 7 months sober ❤ thank you for this video and encouraging me in a world where drinking alcohol is the norm and we are made to feel like the outsider.
34 years since my last drink. Happily married for 31 years with two adult children. THE most important thing Ive done in my life is act on the moment of clarity I had while drinking a beer at 8 am in the morning. Never looked back. Keep up the great work you are all doing.
Well said man.
Not sure how it is that my experience has been, often going back to the shit only to realize it's only going to take me for another fkd ride....
Just got sober again 11-18-2023
After drinking a bottle of wine when I told myself, "I can drink like a gentleman ",,, well, that has NEVER been true for me...
Compassion for yourself! You get to write your own story😊
@@come_on_now Congratulations! Go easy on yourself - both of my parents were alcoholics (father died from it 😢), sister lifelong alcoholic (now age 62) - has lost EVERYTHING including her mind - I’ve got the genetic predisposition. By God’s amazing Grace I am not. I’ve got other “issues” I deal with but they aren’t killing me. Be kind to yourself and stay close to supportive sober friends! God bless you ❤
Awesome 🙌🏽
Congratulations man you’ve been sober longer then I’ve been alive that’s impressive I’m 18 never had a drink and never will I’ve seen all these videos and I’m
Making sure Im informed on everything
Just went my first day without alcohol. I want this for myself because I know there’s gotta be something better for me in this life. I have many failed attempts, but not this time.
How’s sobriety going? Did you manage to keep it up
There is something better!
It's your "better" version of yourself! :) :)
🙏🙏
Keep at it! Praying for you in your new journey
You have me. I'm trying this week myself. Starting by walking every time I feel the need for a drink. I love to sit in the sunrise and enjoy ALL nature.Getting physically better slowly. Just having a bottle of sparkling wine at night before bed. Helps me sleep. I'll help you if you help me. Deal?
Everyone who is battling this I promise you the grass is so much Greener on this side keep the fight in you # Sober 1-8-21
Stopped drinking at 17. Age 32 now and haven't had a drop in almost 15 years. One of the best decisions I made.
Alcohol is insidious and has absolutely no benefits. It causes anxiety, sweats, shakes, agitation, money wasted, head fog, organ pain, joint pain, weakness, insomnia, nausea... People that haven't struggled with alcohol, have no idea how terrifying it is. Sending out good vibes to everyone who is dealing with alcohol problems! Thank you for making this inspirational video Leon!❤👍
I agree.. alcohol is some serious shit. Especially when you are passed beer. Tell u what's worse... Meth! Ask me how I know... I am literally in hell as we speak. Up for days, working a physical labor job 60 hrs a week... Feel like I am close to death or hospitalization but cannot stop. Basically I am becoming ok with just going until I likely drop at work one day.
Well said. The way it poisons your mind too, it gives your life an evil slant and is extremely subtle in effect
@ron1836 sorry to hear that... meth isn't as bad to come off though, so you're in luck. Doesn't damage the body as much, though it can be a tremendous mind-fuck, no doubt
"anxiety, sweats, shakes, agitation, money wasted, head fog, organ pain, joint pain, weakness, insomnia, nausea" Eh?
That`s called being an alcoholic..
@@user-zx4ds8mt9b Yeah meth isn`t bad at all, just rots your teeth from the inside, makes you paranoid af and makes you go on shoplifting sprees to fuel the habit lol, dafuq..
I've been sober for almost 13 years. So thankful everyday for it
It took me 10 years as an alcoholic and 4 DWIs before i turned to Jesus and got saved. I never thought i would be able to stop JESUS SAVES!
Yesterday marked 1 year alcohol free for me. 🎉 I am grateful to have found your videos last year right after I made my decision to stop poisoning myself. I only wish I had stopped sooner.
Good for you!!! I wish the same. Alcohol steals joy and happiness.
After a forty plus year career boozing, I have been sober eight months. I'll never go back, never. Life is so much better sober.
You’re amazing! Keep going!
40 plus years here too. Sober now almost 1 year.. My liver is shot now.
1 year and 7 days alcohol freeI!! I can honestly say that I was never addicted to alcohol, mostly social drinking. Saw Leon and Huberman videos on the destructive affects of alcohol on the body and decided to never to drink alcohol again. I am 64 and have never felt more free in my life and feel so much better!! I am just now telling my friends as they have taken notice of me not partaking anymore. It is interesting to see their reactions. Most of them immediately go down the path of justifying their drinking with its health benefits. Thank you Leon for your podcasts which have gotten me thru the last year. Here is to many healthy years ahead of living a life without alcohol in my life!
My wife's parents were alcoholics and it destroyed them mentally and physically ending in Cancer and heart disease. I have also noticed that alcoholic damages the brain neurons to the point that they become Bipolar like with Mania and moods of rage.
As a result of her environment my wife drank heavy for years and then moderately till age 60 and then depression set in and the weight gain caused more severe depression. THEN, I did research on addiction from meth to other dangerous drugs and found out that ECS system in our body is identical to CBD and THC. So,...... up in Canada we grew 4 legal plants of weed and cured it and daily she would have a small few puffs and the CBD knocked out the alcohol desire and the other day she tried a nice bottle of Champaign .....AND.....the CBD blocked the receptor's and it was like drinking water. She was surprised but CBD and THC block addiction .She doesn't desire alcohol at all and no AA or will power needed ......{ JUST SCIENCE }. lol I also have her on 180 milligrams of Thiamine as my wife was having deadly wet brain symptoms and damage to her memory from alcohol. THEN, we both added the 30 years of science of " SULFORAPHANE " which comes from things like Kale powder from Amazon added to Pomegranate real juice, Carrot juice and apple cider juice. With " SULFORAPHANE " it turns 42 DNA keys .......and 20 % weight loss of visceral fat which really surprised her friends and we both walk ONLY 30 minutes for health and brain health.
AT 64 and 62 we have NEVER been this healthy and happy.
Care to help a retired 69 year old? Looking for help, but doing what I can.
@@jacdragan8918 High dose Thiamine to avoid MS and other neurological disorder's ....ie ....Robbin Williams !!!!! "
Also a healthy microbiome resists' cancer, virus and inflammation so take SULFORAPHANE " which comes from things like Kale powder from Amazon added to Pomegranate real juice, Carrot juice and apple cider juice. With " SULFORAPHANE " it turns 42 DNA keys .......and 20 % weight loss of visceral fat which really surprised her friends and we both walk ONLY 30 minutes for health and brain health.
This will save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ of dollars and suffering. My gut score after 3 months of anti biotics in 1971 for brain inflammation was 1.5 /10 with IBS. NOW on Sulforaphane KALE powder and juice I'm a 350% improved healthy guy in just 3 months with a score of 9.6 /10
Oh yes! The anecdote that one glass of red wine a day is good for your veins.. from a health professional! Well one leads to two, leads to three, leads to a bottle or two! 🤨
Hi, my name is Magnus. I was sober for 1 month then i fell back. I then got 2 weeks sober and fell back again. Then i got about 3 weeks sober and i fell back again. I'm 2 days sober now. Quitting Alcohol and weed is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It's been a part of me for so long. But giving up is not an option. God bless you all🙏🏼❤️
You aren’t alone, I’m 26 days sober laying in bed depressed on TH-cam. These are the days we quit, but tomorrow will be a better day. Lock in let’s hit 30 days!
Best of luck to you, a day at a time. You CAN do this!! It's soooo worth it!!
Hi my name is Kelly hill iam one day sober I feel like I don’t want to drink anymore so I told my friend stop bringing alcohol over my house I don’t even want the company right now for about a month I notice some people don’t want you sober stay focus
@@whyme6534 I totally understand what you're saying. there is a very big drinking culture in denmark where i live. And people tent to say I'm boring and some even offer me beer and vodka when we hangout. I guess they don't really understand or know how big of a problem it can be for some people. I am definitely not as close with some of my friends now than i was(or thought I was) when i was drinking. But you can't let people hold you back because it will make them happy. If people don't wanna hang out because you don't drink. Then let them be. Find some new people to hang out with. People who will lift you up and not drag you down.
I am 39 days sober now. I sometimes still get the feeling or cravings for alcohol but i have just found a good way to not do it. I think about future me and how proud i would be to look back at this moment if i don't drink.
I wish you all the best. I will pray for you🙏🏼 i hope you come back to this video in the future and update me on how you are doing. This video is good to watch if you are feeling down or just need a little extra energy some day
I have not actually stopped drinking with conviction but I have not drank in over 2 weeks. My TH-cam feed has been pushing these videos on me for some reason and for once, I’m thankful for that. I don’t believe I will ever drink again. It has never done anything good for me. After turning 40, I don’t enjoy being inebriated. Thank you for the video!
12 years sober as of 12/17. I keep remembering stories from Aa meeting that you forget how bad it was and you think you can drink again with control only to find out you pick up exactly where you left off at your last drink. I never needed to prove to myself that I could handle it. Those stories keep me thankful for remaining sober
Just the start for me… lost my own place again this year, lost yet another job, lost my car also gonna lose my drivers license until I’m fit to drive, I’m isolated this really does feel like rock bottom after 20 years of addiction. First appointment tomorrow at the alcohol help place. Uncertain days ahead, hopeful for a big turn around.
1love people! ❤️❤️❤️
You can’t love ANYONE until you first love yourself.
People who love themselves don’t abuse themselves with alcohol or anything else for that matter!!
@@gasmith7486 completely agree!
@@RodWalker-ix9mq I’d have to say that not 1 major thing has happened in my life that sent me to drugs and alcohol, I just got lost to addiction, then after a long time I drank and used to help me escape a life that I ruined. Hoping I’ve got enough time to rebuild a good life.
you have time and yer gonna make it. The only time its too late to bring things back around is if we are bed ridden or dead. And u are neither, Hold your head up and keep fighting. You got this@@MaKdAnNy581
You are already on the right path. I can only wish that my loved one was taking your step. You will succeed.
9 years alcohol free, born again Christian, God is good !
Hey there. What caused you to feel as though you were born again?
39 years old, 13 years no drinking. There's nothing anyone can do to get me to do it again.
Day 8, I feel amazingly better. after the first 2 days my body and mind obviously needed rest. So I gave them that. No desire to ever drink again and I drank 6-18 every night since 2018. My drinking career is over. Time for a new chapter
Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! You got this!
Keep going
203 days sober. I've started to have doubts about my sobriety so have started to watch these type of videos as a reminder of how life was. Thank you for this.
Being in and out quitting for 2 years, yesterday I was drunk again but I feel this time, thanks to this video is gonna be the right time. Today I start again not drinking, for a better life, for me. Wish me luck :)
PS: Anyone reading this and struggling with that sh** I'm there with you so you reach that goal too.
87 days sober . Trying my absolute best to overcome this addiction!
If you can do 87 days, you've got this! Just do today what you did yesterday!
@@bobdigi500 thanks mate. I’m trying my best not go off on a tangent and it’s working up till now but been here before and relapsed. Determined this time. Many thanks
@jbravo0173 get past Christmas and new years and you'll smash it. I had to quit and sometimes friends can be your weak link. Don't give into the pressure of a friend asking you to go down the pub. Even for 1 drink!
Fuck the pub, fuck parties, fuck one drink because its new years eve, fuck alchol.
Don't doubt yourself. 87 days is a long time. But 1 drink can fuck it all up. Get to 2024 then keep walking.
@@bobdigi500 fantastic motivation mate. Really appreciate it. I’ll take that on board and will be staying away from pubs at all costs. Thanks again
@@jbravo0173
I’ve been in the process of a relapse for about 5 months now. Don’t even think about coming back to this garbage.
I know how to stop and after watching this video I’m going to do it again. Honestly, what really pisses me off is that I can never drink again. That’s my currant state of mind talking. I know I’ll feel better when I stop. I’ve done it before but when you slip back into it, it’s worse every time. PLEASE done slip up man. Not worth it. Your honesty is appreciated. I only commented because you sound a lot like me.
335 days. So happy to realize life functions (way clearer) without alcohol! I had stopped for a month a few different times. I didn't think socializing was possible without it, but it truly is!!! I told myself I'd go a year to see what it is like, and I already know I'm not going back ever. I'm not missing anything.
Videos like this really helped me!!! Thank you Sober Leon!!
11 years sober and the best decision I ever made. For my health, marriage and my two daughters. Alcohol is poison nothing else.
Hey man I’m 1 year 17 days no alcohol , 28 years old commenting from New Zealand cheers man 👆
Drs Peterson and Huberman are absolute treasures, they have changed my whole outlook on life and I daresay my whole life in general.
I’m 51 and have drank since I was 14. I was drinking so much for about 20 years with an occasional 30 days off of it and during Covid I was 19 months sober. On my 49 bday , around the campfire with friends , I took a shot. That put me into drinking every day for the past 2.5 years. My last drink was 11/5/23. I’m done. I gained 22 pounds , have severe inflammation and felt so guilty for letting me down as well as my maker 😊. My body was not made to destroy. Being sober is the best feeling. I’m watching an employee of mine ruin his life with alcohol and I can’t help. You have to want to do it yourself. Don’t waste your life please!!!!
Sounds familiar. Youre doing a great job.
Sounds familiar. I'm 26 days in . Congratulations for your success
same here i relapsed 2 months ago been drinking since i was 16 and now i am 32....3 times in a rehab . i am like those wake and bake person quenching my parched throat with beer at 8am..
today i will push myself to not drink. one day at a time
💪🏾🙏🏽
Exactly m8’ well done 👏🏻
Watching from the US in Connecticut. Last drink was September 3, 2023. These videos keep me motivated and focused. Thank you for what you do!
Yay CT!
@ct2co2AZ woo hoo!! ❤️ hey CT!
I consumed alcohol for 22 years and admitted to rehab for 7 times ... achieved nothing but lost everything that I had ... I have started my sobriety journey recently and pray to the GOD every day to save me protect me from this poison ...
Sober life is the best life. Sure you’ll miss out on crazy parties but you get SO MUCH in return. Peace, calm, love, eternal bliss instead of the 30 min rush from your first glass of alcohol.
YOU pulled me out of this. havent drunk since last holiday july 2023 after drinking for 10 years. Thank you
Let's goooo!
Dec 7 one year it feels great I just hate looking at the cup now
No he didn't. You did
I've drank almost every day for 40 years and never felt better it's all about how you handle the hangover which always happens and too many people just lie in bed feeling sorry for themselves thinking they are an alky.
@@user-gw3lp3lb1o cap
Almost 6 months sober. my late teens and 20's where fuelled by alcohol and drugs. 30 now and happy to be sober, even if it means being boring through the eyes and minds of most. saving cash, healing my body and making decisions with a clear mind is awesome.
Love this post. I can only hope that my loved one would be where you are now.
I'm 47 days sober. Longest I've gone since who knows when but this time it's very different. The person I've become just in this short time is all the proof I need to stay sober
6 years sober! I am Married and have a great relationship with my daughters!
This helps me hearing other people go through the same situation, ive been sober 4 months now after 16 years of drinking every single night. I was told i had to stop drinking last year but wasnt ready and struggled big time, i thought i was missing out so went back to it but this year ive realised im not missing out and im starting to take back control of my life😀👍
Upward of 2 months sober. I jump-started my life. I ran 16km under two hours couple days before. I'm doing things I never thought I would do and I feel happy. Finally I feel happy and there's still so much to do!
I'm going for it too buddy I have done with it xx
1 year completly sober.
Get rid of my PMO addiction was the key to gain control over my alcohol addiction tbh!
🙏
It's hard living sober but I'm worth it. Loving myself is something I got to learn all over again. I can't tippy toe around my addiction because the end game is death to myself or worse someone else. So I do this for myself. Thank you God for letting me live and I mean really live
I stopped on Oct. 20th 2003, I was 24.
I'm now 45.
I'm grateful every day.
11 years sober. Best decision of my life.❤
Today will be day one for me…again! I’ve repeated this over and over again for
the past 30+ years. These videos instill in me that I CAN GET SOBER AND STAY SOBER. Thank you, Leon.
From Michigan. Starting all habits age 12. Quit the month of my 35th birthday. Been sober 18 months now. Quit smoking a month later with the momentum and the immediate health impact both mentally and physically. I didnt think i could do either! Self empowerment is such a better drug!😂 Now i keep self improvement as my main drive and i am so enriched in my life in every way now!
One and a half months sober and feeling really strong rn
It only gets better I’m 7 months in and the best decision I’ve made in my life. I feel amazing body, mind and spirit. I wish I never took a sip. Next is cigarettes it’s killing my stamina and it’s a disgusting habit. I’m 44 and I wish I never started either, ironically I started 5 years ago and it was stupid. You got this and I wish you the best.
@@micaheldey1981 Just read the notification, still going strong and not even feel like wanting a drink anymore. Could you start quitting cigs? I quit cold turkey 2 years ago and still having cravings, shit's insane. Wish u the best!
12 years off alcohol. Will never drink again. It makes me sad seeing what’s happening to my friends who drink a tonne of alcohol as we all get older. Also lost one friend too lover failure due to alcohol abuse. If you’re struggling to stop drinking perhaps ask yourself “what am I hiding from?” Because of you are drinking constantly, you ARE hiding from at least yourself.
3 years 19 days sober. Went from 6 years homeless living in a tent season after season on the streets of Camden NJ. Drinking and shooting Heroin and cocaine. But the alcohol has always from the time I was a teen at parties been a problem. I was the guy at the party still up at 5 or 6am searching for the remaining alcohol. Either that or waking up and "taking the edge off" with a couple shots or a few beers. I loved day drinking. Problem was that interferes with being a productive member of society. I'd sneak drinks at lunch and soon I'd just sneak shots at work once or twice an hour. It's crazy how something that's so socially accepted and easily and legally available can literally take your life. It took my mom's when she was 33, cirrhosis of the liver. You would think that would have kept me from drinking, nope, that was an excuse. Anyway, I'm grateful today, I'm self aware today and most importantly I love myself today and know that I'm loved and special. Life is precious and a higher power is real. To all those struggling, brothers and sisters you can do it, your worth it, I love you. Keep it up! Just get through today, worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
Thank you so very much 👍👍👍❤
I’ve been sober since 2019! Never actually tried to quit or thought about quitting but I just kept saying to myself “I’ll have a beer tomorrow… or maybe on New Year’s Eve?” But then I overshot those dates and gradually it became a habit not to drink. At this point going back seems like a chore.
7 months 22 days sober. Was drinking and doing some other drugs since I was 16. I'm 50 now and never felt so good 😊
8 months sober for me and same lifestyle as you. Congratulations 🎉
Six months now😁. I am NOT going back. I drank quite heavily the best part of 25 years, up to 12 beers a night. I held down a physical job and went to the gym regularly but it was a struggle at times, my diet wasn’t the best but I did try to make an effort. Life is so much better now in every way. I eat well , sleep well and have much much more motivation, oh and a lot more spare cash( I don’t earn much). I AM NOT GOING BACK.
Good luck on your journey, we got this 👍🏻🫶🏻
Good work, keep it up..🤟
👍
Thank you for these videos!! You saved my life, real talk. I've drank Wine for 10 years, but now I see the light.
Loved this
245 days for me best decision I’ve ever made!
To everybody who’s is getting sober and staying sober I’m proud of you!
Stopped in 1988. One of the best decisions I have ever made. So happy now.
It’s been 21 days and I don’t miss it!
Day 15. Just stumbled across these videos. Really enjoying. And motivational.🙏
This is one of the documentaries I've listened to on alcohol harm. I'm 65 and I stopped drinking 100% a year ago. I'd spent a couple of years drinking very little but had a few lapses where I got drunk without that being a plan!
Since I stopped on Boxing Day 2022 everything is so much better, easier and it's impossible to be led astray.
I feel really sad now when I'm out and about and I can see in so many people that drink, it's written all over their face. I can't understand why more isn't done to help people
I regularly say "I love not drinking! ❤️"
Went 80 days than blew it, went 144 days sober and blew that, now 4 days sober and I don’t want that shit no more!!!
Yo my dude! You’re good! You only drank 3 times in 228 days! Stumbling along the way is fine! Just keep setting higher records till ITS TIME! You got this! 💪
@@Thelastetherborn Two times...even better!
@@vanillaghetto Forsooth, good sir!
Means your building up your will power! 80-144-250-500-1000
Your getting stronger 💪🏻🤍
4 days sober and stil fighting. .
I just made my 1 year. I went to AA at the beginning. I hit my bottom. I woke up literally on the side of the road. Have you hit your bottom? Are you done?
3 weeks here
Ive been sober for 30years in the past 25yrs of my life. I can tell you it has been the best life changing thing ive done
25 months sober from 34 years including almost losing my life within the last 3. The hardest, but best thing I've done since I was 16, I'm 52.
I started the carnivore diet two years ago because of leaky gut and chronic fatigue. Not only did it fix those problems quickly, but I no longer wanted alcohol. And I drank nearly every night for twenty years. I didn't go carnivore with the intent of quitting alcohol. That was never my plan. It just happened. But, to my surprise, I no longer craved it or wanted it. Even on special occasions or high stress days I found I just couldn't drink it. This happened gradually, over the course of about six months. But I've never felt better in my life and when I look at a bottle of beer or a glass of booze, I automatically see poison that doesn't even taste good anymore. Again, quitting alcohol was not my plan or intention. But I couldn't be happier that it happened.
I’m the mother of an alcoholic who was sober for 5 years and almost 2 years ago he started drinking again and he is struggling to get sober again.
I appreciate all the information. Thank you.
Very good video. I have tried to quit over and over, but didn't care if I succeeded. Not until I looked at my health. I started carnivore late January, 23 and quit drinking very easily after it. It has been almost a year. I am so thankful.
I quit alcohol about 5 months ago and I feel great 😃 I would drink 2-3 times a week so I was constantly affected by it either drunk or hungover with anxiety and stress and depression as a result. Alcohol and PTSD is a bad combination and I am happy I finally had enough
After partying for 20 days straight, I decided to got all January our longer without alcohol. I'm a week in.
I'll be 9 months Sober on the 16th of December,
Detox and rehab twice, and on day in rehab I finally said ENUF is ENUF and I started listening to how other people stay sober and I found a way to stay sober that works for me,
Find what works for YOU!
It's out there, just keep trying.
One year sober now. And it's great.
Starting my journey today.
7 days sober, alcohol has ruined life... didn't drink for 2 years at 1 point... started in the summer again, I've never been worse 💯... great video
41 days sober After drinking every night for many years...I never knew videos like this existed until I tried to stop... Thank you so much for making these, They really do help💪🏾👑💯🫡
Still waiting to be left speachless
One of the greatest video i ever Seen.
I love not drinking alcohol!
My wife and I are 14 months sober and we're SO LUCKY that it's be incredibly easy. We were basically alcoholics every weekend for years (I wouldn't even go to bed, I'd drink for 48 hours straight). Life was starting to fall apart so we decided to stop and it's be easy: no cravings, no looking back, no jealously, can hang out in a bar and drink a non alcoholic beer without being tempted.
I quit drinking near the End of High School a full blown alcoholic with a 26'r in each Cowboy Boot that were shaped like Mickeys! It was drawn out as i used Willpower, first it was getting drunk every 2nd day, then 3 day's, a week then I went 3 year's without a sip! When I'd go to the Bar, I'd have a Clamato Juice Or 7Up.
I'd maybe have a half Beer on a HoT Dusty Day, and that's all! There are Medicinal qualities to Alcohol for Food poisoning, if you Drop back some High Octane Alcohol within a half hour the offending bacteria will be crippled! Think Mexico with Water Borne diseases and Lack of Refrigeration and why Tequila is readily available!
Glad I've found this video. I was so broken, tearing up and listening to the testimonies. Literally 2days without a sip of alcohol. 💪🏾🙏🏽 .gotta be something more to my life other than alcohol addiction. One day at a time...sobriety..let's go!!
It's now one year and about five months or so with zero alcohol. I stopped counting the days , weeks, months after a year. Best decision I ever made. To all you people giving up...Keep it up, it's so well worth it.
Was sober for 18 months. Was getting paranoid about relapsing and was causing undue stress. So had a drink. And I realized I didn't really want to drink but it made me stronger realisi g I wasn't just one drink away from being an alcoholic again.
Great collection ❤well done on putting this together. Almost hitting 30 days sober.
I am 3weeks sober. It’s wonderful. I am a new human being. I really wasn’t feeling or living when I was numbing myself with poison.
It's so sad you see so many of us that struggled with alcohol, and as we quit others are just starting.
Thank you! You have changed my life, i have been sober for 11months after 15 years of binge drinking 2 times a week. I started having panic attacks the very moment i woke up after a night out. I thought i would die and get a heart attack. Now i have 5000e in investments and i am exercising more and over all more energy at work etc. Also i have grown mentally so much more than before with alcohol. Thank you Leon, keep up the great work 🎉❤
August, 26th made a year for me. I was hospitalized in ICU 3 different times for pancreatitis, and put into a coma to survive the withdrawal. After 4 years of relapsing, and the hell that comes from that I went to a AA meeting. It took the gift of desperation to finally take suggestions from people that were sober
Thanks for the good info, like usual!
i am now 4 years sober and have never looked back. just do it. BUT you have to WANT to do it, and Once you do, you will not regret it, what you WILL regret is NOT doing it.
8 months and 9 days alcohol free and the best decision i ever made. I lost everything multiple times, but thank God im not on that road anymore!
25 years, 10 months, and 12 days I live with absolutely freedom, peace, and achieve big things. Happy, joyful, and how I struggled to quit, with 6 years struggling to let go of alcohol. And then the magic happened. My desire was gone forever. Now I can't believe I ever drank, but I also never forget what it was like. AA was my road to recovery.
1 week today, thank you for this vidio!
8 days sober today, just gotta keep working on it and never give up, I want to keep feeling good like this and become the better person I know I can be
I quit drinking a year ago, and I feel amazing. For me what helped me quit was strong will power, as everyone around me still drinks. Including my husband, who drinks every day. His best friend is also a drinker. I love my husband with all my heart, he is a great husband and father. He is an amazing provider, but I know he has demons from past childhood trauma. I appreciate him so much and what he has overcome, but we have only spent the last 22 years together... I want to spend the rest of our lives together, I want him to be with me, i can't imagine life without him. What can I do to help him see? If i bring it up he makes excuses why he can't. We are talking about a man who quit heroin! Yet this drink has a hold of him so stong. I just wish he would want to quit.
Pray every day. Also keep telling him how much you care about him and that you want him to live as long as you. Don’t nag, that doesn’t work and will only make it worse. Also, get yourself into a support group with others that are in the same boat as yourself. I think it may be called Al-anon.
So. I completely stopped over 2 months ago because I saw your previous video which confirmed everything I was feeling when I had a drink. I remember asking myself why am I not getting the high that I expect . Ever since losing anxiety and depression in 2013, alcohol has become pointless activity but I kept trying it even though I felt no benefit to it. The habit stayed with me because I was chasing that incredible feeling that it gave me when I had crazy stress, anxiety and depression. Good job I watched that clip. Ofcourse it must be difficult to stop for people who experience stress.
9 years of devastating alcoholism. I've had streaks of clarity and sobriety. But now that I am unemployed and my family needs me, I need all the clarity and peace of mind I can grasp
a very well put together video
Thanks Leon! These videos are much appreciated. I need the reassurance that I’m not alone in this. I’ve been sober completely for about 6 months now. I’ve been close to drinking just last week but didn’t. Now the holidays are here which was my favorite time of year to drink for this long weekend. Need to remain strong. We got this…..
After 2 Shots of vivitrol haven't had a drink in 14 months between that and we listening to your videos I've never felt so good thank you
Thank you for this excellent service
