@@mikaela8062 No plans I am afraid
I had a craving yesterday. I was out walking and suddenly I was planning it all out in my head, "so I'll just get home, get my wallet, take the car to Spar, grab a box of Bud, then maybe get the little BBQ do some burgers. Because you can't have BBQ without beer can you?" Anyway, the craving passed by the time I got home and woke up the next day feeling great. So glad I didn't drink. I would urge people to adopt Craig's philosophy on drinking as it is the truth.
when i used to drink beer, every dude i knew said bud was the worst crap they ever tasted. they called it buttwiper. so once, i bought a six pack of bud, and man, dude, i could not even finish the first one and gave it away to whoever took it out of the fridge, uh, i think those 5 buds stayed in that fridge all summer long.......drink responsibly is their new ploy on the back of the can, ha ha ha, yeah right!
@@ronvalley1973 I would drink 16 cans. 200 calories a can, that's 3200 calories a day just in beer! Caused fluid retention around my belly, I looked like I was eight months pregnant! When I stopped drinking, I automatically lost weight in quite drastic fashion - even whilst eating MORE. Pretty cool effect.
@@petes1721 hey pete, dude, your sentence sounds like you were writing about me. wow. same thing here man. hey, what happened to craigs program where you can talk and meet people who quit drinking?
@@ronvalley1973 He does bootcamps in different cities. With Craig, his philosophy just hit home because I believe the same thing about alcohol. When you know a drug, you know what it is, "the two-faced clown". Listen to Craig.
Thank you Pete
😇 good morning from US. AUGUST 31, 2019 will be four years that I have been alcohol free. I have read your book, still watch the YT videos and am of the opinion that you Mr. Beck are “the real deal”, provide valuable information and mostly common sense. Best wishes to all. PS no more alcohol purchases means more money for travel! Bon voyage.
BDom keep it up....I guarantee you’ll look back and be so very happy and gratified of your decision. There might be time you look back and cringe, but it’s all normal and expected. I speak from my own experience only. Stay well, stick to it! 👌👍
@BDom i quit two years before i found him and the more i watch him the more i can see how stupid i was for drinking at all.
Thank you Lisa
BDom If you like to read then I would suggest, based on my own experience, read read read as much as you can and read all sorts of sources....personal accounts, texts, statistics, read it all. I have found reading personal accounts to be motivating and inspirational, truly astounding how honest some people are. Anytime you need an encouraging word you’ll find it!
I made it to 100 days then failed at a wedding. I then drank twice after and again stopped and currently back at 80 plus days (i dont count now)....I have a reunion tomorrow with friends I havent seen for 15 years and kinda know this is a huge test. Feel I will be ok but I also would rather not have to walk straight into this incoming wave of pressure. You are the guy that ruined alchohol for me and my life is changing so drastically its hard to work it all out. More time, friends vanishing, having to meet girls sober now, dating sober and the list goes on and on. I feel like you gave me the red pill when i stumbled across you and there are moments I think life was simpler when I was a weekend binge drinker and I should have took the blue one. Anyway I always buy your books to support you and your approach to life appeals to me. all the best Craig and good luck to others who are breaking free.
Think that way that is many like you,Me I've try after 33 weeks one evening bottle of rum and in the morning 500ml of wodka,after Clown said I'm here but I said no more,after evening and one night without sleep my life came back to normal,no more damage like 2 weeks without sleep etc.My conclusion is that drug called alcohol has nothing to offer accept no sleep period ,be under drug influence,making wrong decisions,poisoning my body and what is most important get me to the deep deep deep depression.Nothing to offer by this
poison rubbish chemical drug
Thank you Brian
It’s been 4 years… how did the reunion go?
36 days sober. I could have gave in tonight but I didn't.
come on. fess up. don't ever do it. craig is right. stop counting the days. set a goal. celebrate when the first year is up, toke a blunt instead.
Gave in to what??you still don't get it...you need to start again and learn what this fuckin piss is and what it does,then you'll stop torturing yourself.
Great!
i think that is great. one day at a time. if u try thinking past this moment, you are cooked meat. keep it going with the same mindset every day
@@michaeljulius5895 :-)
Been sober for 2 months now. I do feel tempted at times.
But Iam determined to quit forever
Love that
@@Stopdrinkingexpert Im on 6 weeks sober because of Craig's videos and two of his books, this works if you want it to.
@@taileatingsnake2211 :-)
I never thought I could come home from an awful day at work (as an introvert who works with a demanding public most of my days are awful) and wind down and go to sleep without massive and increasing amounts of alcohol. If I can rid myself of this beast with Craig’s help, anyone can! I understand the point about cravings, though when you are in that two week period, it’s really hard to make that distinction. I think that’s why kicking booze is so difficult. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you ST
I’m 100% committed to never drinking again. Once I made that ‘no excuses. Ever’ commitment it’s really quite easy. You just don’t drink. Simple. Everything else is just temporary thoughts. People are generally not committed enough. Weak. Just don’t drink even if you want to. Every day gets easier and easier. Then you start to see the numerous benefits. It’s great. At the start I went to a few AA meets and I can see that they benefit some people. Not for me though. I commit to taking 100% responsibility for my actions and don’t need to rely on a higher power. It’s all about self respect at the end of the day. Some days are tougher than others. So what? Get in with it.
Great mindset
Criag, I had a problem. My little sister had a problem. Your video's helped me stop cold turkey in one afternoon. We are professionals and hid it. We are FREE. I cannot look at a wine bottle, or beers the same way ever again. Abracadabra😀 We are both two months off poison and never looking back.
Love this
You really have a great way of explaining things. A light goes on in my head when I watch your vids. Your a blessing.
Thank you :-)
Cuz he was worst then all of us
Brilliant. You are keeping me sober..and alive (no biggy) thankyou, thankyou.
Love this Katy
Well done really, I've been sober for 9 years and still crave and dream about alcohol. You tought me so much more in this clip thank you.
Thank you Craig for caring to help others who suffer from this evil loop of addiction, and for someone like me was completely unaware the evil trap i was frozen in. Im happy to say im almost a month and half sober and im not sure if i could do it without support like this. Im noticing my life is improving everyday and im not looking back. I'm almost 40 and was 13 the first time i got drunk at my grandmothers wedding off champagne due to peer pressure from my older cousins. So i know alcohol very well for many years. Odley my journey into sobriety began with a fortune cookie. It read, you have a iron will wich helps you succeed in everything. And it really hit me hard, of course i was hungover while reading it but from that point on i became detrimened to battle my alcohol addiction. I have so much more to say but thanks again, i will battle this everyday with everything i got not just for myself,but my wife and kids deserve the best version of my i know i can do this!!😎
Thank you SDTV
348 days sober. I’m here in Tokyo right now on vacation. Having returned after four years was so tempted today to drink. However I held off and then two hours later after I got home I now don’t feel the urge to drink as much. It’s like you said, it’s completely psychological. This video helped me thank you.
Going to attend your webinar in the morning hoping it will help me stay off this poison for good!! This time🙈 thanks Craig
I'm trying to quit but man cravings are so strong..almost every day...feeling like cravings are just somenthing that never stops..
These videos have helped change my life for the better. 🙏 I now have a clear head to tackle life’s side balls and have a much better understanding of myself as a result. I feel people who have stopped drinking have a competitive edge over the majority of people who do drink, hence the resistance from “friends & coworkers” to stopping alcohol consumption. Great stuff!! ;)

My state legalized CBD/Hemp. Ever since I got some, I never felt so relaxed. Everyday I drive by the liquor store and beer stops after work. Been sober for 90 days. I recommend getting hemp if legal in the area.
when do you use the CBD? is there a routine or just when cravings start?
@@DrEvil-ro9dj it takes a month before you can get results. I started using it when I get alcohol cravings. They have them as gummy worms, cookies, oils, etc.
wait till a year goes by, you will feel so awesome that you wont ever want to touch that shit again. going on 3 years and i am starting to lose track of when i quit......
I have heard that but I also know long term it's not great for mental health
@@Stopdrinkingexpert Thank you sir
Thank you and God bless and protect you for helping others heal from the demonic spell of alcoholism 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent Video I am a sober woman , I have watched many people in my life struggle with alcoholism , I am at a point where i have had over 27 yrs of Alanon , but I am not able to still deal with the effects of this issue , the problem it clearly it is a depressant not something that helps when people drink. self control also plays a role in this and well I still believe there has to be some self control to be able to stop .... Awesome Video
Thank you :-)
@@Stopdrinkingexpert you are welcome , I have shared your videos , awesome help you are :) ♥
Thanks Again Craig. I mean it.
:-)
Excellent video❤️
Thank you ST
I drink 5 cans a night every night and have been doing for the last 12 or so years.... I really don't want to do the maths. I have tried so many times to stop . I honestly now know what a junkie or smack head must feel.
Growing up in Ireland certainly hasn't helped.....I once asked my local barman for a coke as I was trying to cut down. His response while starring at me with utter disgust was....' I didn't know I was working in McDonald's '...he poured me a Guinness and told me to cop on to myself....true story.
Billy Boulton.....thank you . ...I think....is that some sort of Guinness world record 😂😂
i drank 7 days a week. 6 to 13 bottles of beer a night. since 1980. wow. 39 years. so glad i quit. go back and piss on that bartenders counter top, flip him the bird and never return.
@@billy77511 steve goodman wrote a song saying he wished he had a nickel for every beer he ever drank.....
Hopefully we are moving away from those times
" Never trust a man who doesn't drink "
Another powerful message articulately delivered as usual. I really hope people do get the message by listening and digesting Craig's words instead of the poison that ruins lives along with peoples health at a hefty price that would be far better spent treating your family and friends to the good things in life. Keep up the good work Craig.
Thank you Kenneth
Was really looking forward to hearing the 4 things 🤔🤔
This channel should have tons of subscribers & views?
Thanks for the comment..
Cravings and triggers are a huge thing Craig for me atm
Day 160 and everyday i come across triggers and cravings everyday! Some days are so tough, other days I'm like meh! I got this!
20 years worth of triggers for me
I was the same, didn’t put myself in a tempting situation for at least a year or more until I relearned how to have fun and socialize without. Slowly the social anxiety goes away and new habits form. Also went back to school which gave extra motivation to stop
Brian It did for me... honestly it took about a year. I had 20 years social drinking. It’s different for everyone though. I recommend just being patient with yourself and give time to heal. Learn new ways to relax and have fun without alcohol.
Brian Good to hear! Yes, me too..no desire to get back on that roller coaster. Going back to school and filling my life with as much positive as possible. What are you up to?
Brian Cool Mate. I’m in Orlando. Yeah, I do a lot of journaling now, helps keep things in perspective
Thanks for the comment..
I like your T Shirt Craig...
38 days sober
Wonderful
Craig
U look like u were a fantastic drunk in the lazyboy in the basement pondering your failed job life and bullshit
I remember sitting along the waterfront one day during my detox and said " if I survive this , I'm gonna try n help people " .
Your doing amazing Craig
Thank u so much !!!!!
What are the 4 things? I am 2 months sober and I am fighting the addiction in my mind.....
I look at pictures my wife sent me when i looked drunk, sound drunk, and made a mess of the house
Hi Craig is ot ok to cut the Omega3 capsules and put the oil on a Spoon ? i just cant swallow them as there too big thanks
Yes no problem
40 days sober after 5-day relapse …feeling great and never want to go back to that hellish feeling . Alcoholism is utter hell .
You should come to Brisbane Australia :)
and I want to :-)
Hi Craig I love you
Back at ya
Craig! i don't want to do this anymore. I don't even enjoy the taste anymore. but i wake up with the shakes and cannot concentrate ate work if i don't drink!
Totally understand... join the free webinar today www.stopdrinkingexpert.com
Do you only do boot camps do you not have a course online you can do
I enjoy all your podcasts, but it would be really much better if you just get a microphone and in general up the input levels of your audio please.
Hey Craig just check the volume of the audio , it's way too low.
Thank you... new camera
Drugs also posion. Someone who addicted to herion for example his body really need it and his brain telling him go and buy this drug or you will die. Same with alchol maybe less strong but alcohol also effect your brain carving.
More impressed with the double glazing can't hear the traffic must be that book u have trapped in there
Lol
The semantics game is just silly. They're legitimately called cravings, as a "craving" is simply a desire for a particular thing. It doesn't have to be a desire for a beneficial thing to be a "craving".
I'd like to know what these four things are
The first step is the hardest! Take my free webinar... I won't bite!

In my head I always think my life was better when I had alcohol involved in it, now I feel like I can't go out with my friends or have a good time. Like for example haven't drank in a year, but I have cravings almost everyday. I don't know why even though I went through hell getting off alcohol 4-5 months of detox and withdrawal I just always think my life was better when I drank. :/
By the way I drank 9-12 beers a night for 3-4 years straight and sometimes even 15 beers a day.
Stay positive! Thanks for the comment..
Did anybody else think there was a guy lying on the footpath outside?
Thanks for the comment..
I need your help. Im about to go on a date with a woman who I haven't seen in 2 months. Our relationship revolved around drinking alcohol to have a good time. Ive told her I've stopped drinking and am worried she will peer pressure me into having a drink with her. Women influence me to make impulsive decisions which mostly end up being a bad one! But I always blame myself for being weak and stupid.
It doesn't sound like this is a good connection for you tbh.
@@Stopdrinkingexpert I went out. She was a little upset at first that I didn't want to have a drink with her but when I sat down with her and explained why she changed her tune. We are going out dancing next week, she said she likes to a drink while dancing in which I said I don't mind and will not judge or discriminate.
@@StephenWestSyd Great!
I’m so fucking sick of not being able to make it stick. I judge and shame myself so much this fucking problem. I hate how it makes me act and look and feel and smell.
I've stopped drinking three months ago and still have booze in the house.
Don't just snooze….Give up the Booze ;-)
👍 CB
.
Good point
When I saw many fake people and mostly are broke there , I dont have any desire to drink any
One beer a day or one glass of wine is actually good for you
Said who? Some paper you read or you did real studies and have facts with it.

Thanks for the comment..
Why don’t you just share the four things with us now? Why do we have to join something? If I knew a boot camp thing to help people, I’d just give it out for free!
To much generalization, everyone is different

Do yourselves a favor go to AA get sober and learn to release.
AA has a 8% success rate
@@Stopdrinkingexpert Surely the success rate is up to the hard work of the individual and not any program yours AA or any other. You can have the best teacher advice but if the individual is not serious and not willing to put the work in the results will be slim. " No pain no gain" it takes great personal effort and sacrifice that's what I assume must be the first stumbling block it will be of little benefit (unfortunately)
this is a advertising, I did waste 11 minutes listening to you to tell me that you're going to sell me those 4 things that are free on You Tube
misleading title he didn't give you solution how to best craving sending people to his boot camp. just advertising his self
Looking for an easy answer I see... let us know how that works out for you.
I mean know offense. I've been watching u for awhile. I feel u care more about making money then helping people. Much like late night church shows.
I am sorry you feel that
Listen to what he’s saying. It’s all true. So what if he wants to make some money. That does not negate the fact that he imparts valuable information.
@@sealisa1398 Thank you, Lisa. What people don't understand is I gave up my job to help people with this. Just like everyone else I have bills and outgoings. Sadly, so many people are so full hate that all they can see is negative
B DT Right on, baby. 👍
Stop Drinking Expert I have no issues with someone earning a living helping people. Attorneys, accountants, life coaches, personal trainers, etc. The contrast is the alcoholic beverage industry making a killing...killing.
Too bad this is nothing but a “buy my bootcamp video” little to nothing on how to actually stop cravings 🙄
