You BORE people when you take this approach,frankly they don’t give a shit so just ignore your drinking days and move on you’ve cracked it when you couldn’t give a shit and STOP TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU SOUND A PAIN IN THE ARSE ,THE TYPE PEOPLE WOULD AVOID.

Dude, dont do it!! Unless you can keep control it, it’s to easy to fall into the trap, I was a binge drinker for years, I look back and see how bad things was, also your so called friends are not your friends, I’ve learned a lot through my life, one finale nail in my coffin was living with a drunk for a year, absolutely the worst experience, living with a violent drunk and setting about me, ie punched in the face, I left her, the worst woman I’ve ever met, not been drunk since 2019, one last thing, I spent working in health and social ie trained in dementia, this is a fact, heavy drinking will induce dementia, I’m now 58 and happy, I live alone, this is not a lecture!!! Good luck for your future,

The sleep issue you yave is coffee, ive noticed the more i have in the morning the earlier i wake the following morning and most days ive had my last coffee by 8-9am

Wow thats amazing, whenever i get close to my PB i have the same calg innury and its hard to rest for more than a couple of weeks, id be happy with 3.5 hours as that would be 25 mins quicker than my previous time, good 🤞

Just had a 10 day holiday in Fuertuventura totally alcohol free and it was the best time ive ever had thete with my wife. I hit 11 months sober i.e no lint of beer and to celebrate we went to a newly foumd 80's disco bar called Back to the 80's in my new Air Jordans i wore for the first time aince reearding myself them for doung a sober Barcelona in May this year. I asked the barman for a 0% beer which he accomadated and when i mentioned my current 11 month journey he daid more people ahould be doing what um doing. We didn't stay forong but just to have a small celabration. Also while on that holiday i rode a jet ski for the first time and drove a biggy across the rugged terrain, jaut things i wouldn't have considered if i still had alcohol on my schedule. Truly hand in heart my best winter sun holiday ever. 😊

Great videos. I stopped two months ago and the benefits are big. Ill keep watching

At least 2 years no alcohol. I was also kicked out of rehab for relapsing. They told me I graduated and I'm doing well. Good luck. My wife told me eventually I was kicked out bc I tested positive for alcohol in my urine. Anyway I didn't give up..I still kept myself busy with housework, reading, walking, watching YT video for therapy. Still not drinking like I said. Just bored

No thought. No cravings. Watching video to distract, to cope, now im ok. Was i like that? All those wasted year, ruined relationships, with family, friends, jobs,

I stopped drinking alcohol four months ago. I go out to bars frequently still. Why? That is where the women are.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 nobody cares that I'm not drinking😂 i'm also saving a lot of money 🤑

Thanks for this video. I needed it.

The only drug your ridiculed for not taking

Takes a while for the head to clear lots of people been were your at f,ew say I made the right decision drinking again.choice is yours

Well done brilliant lifestyle change keep moving forward 👍

Drank 47 years and have quit since 3-7-22 and have never felt better in my life and never want to go back to that lifestyle

Top 5 Better relationships More energy Being in the moment More confidence Better overall mood

The whole alcohol being on your mind all the time thing reminds me of the theory of being a dry drunk. Maybe take a look into that. That resonates with me too

This is really helpful for me, a fellow binge drinker who has set an initial goal of 6 weeks off. I’m in week 2 so am feeling very positive about it all at the moment, so visibility of some of the stages I might expect and should prepare myself for - thanks!

Just finished 100 days alcohol-free. I just saw your 100 day video. Now i have just saw your 1 year video to give me insight to my future. Thank you for sharing 😊

What have been the biggest benefits and challenges for you since quitting alcohol? Do any of them match my experience, or have you faced different ones?

Well done such a great achievement 🎉

Congratulations on your achievement mate. I’ve followed you from vlog one and your progress and growth has been remarkable to witness. Well done you. 👏 I am also on the journey. 7 months sober under my belt and am also transforming and growing and loving this new way of life. It’s incredible. I am going on an all inclusive holiday to Mexico in April and will have 1 year under my belt by then. Planning to drink exclusively just on that holiday and I have reservations. It doesn’t even excite me and I feel I can easily go sober if I want to. Which is incredible. I have been alcohol dependant for over 10 years and would fall under the alcoholic description but on the milder scale.

Excellent, thank you for your inspiration! I'm 2 weeks in with sober October 🎃 I just need to make sure I'm getting good nutrition 🍓🥦

I heard someone say if you have to try to moderate your drinking you have a problem with drinking. So true!

Youre so lucky, you have a wife, a beautiful garden. Stay sober as a dedication to your blessings

If you need to relax, take a paracetamol and get a bath, kind of calms the nerves. I agree alcohol does switch off the mind, but us binge drinkers are too sensitive to that effect, and we need to be wise and choose not to partake.

I think there has really been a shift in attitudes to drinking, especially among younger people. Perhaps one of the reasons so many pubs are closing down.

I'm nearly at 10 months and I am very similar to you but 54 years old. I keep telling people I'm doing a 12 month challenge but deep and part of me is saying I realise now that even two pints in one sitting seems a lot to me. I've not got a money mind and always focused on my health, not a daily or weekly drinker either. My thing is when a planned event with say my Son comes along a feel I should have a drink even if it's just a few sips. I'm sure you continue to live a decent life with alcohol in your life but know your life is better without. I do feel more positive when I say to myself I don't want to drink again and recently found out I may be autistic so I'm also finding out a lot about myself so if you can offer any advice it would be appreciated. Next up, Iron Man 😃👍

Im 6 months semi sober today after 24 years of hardcore abuse. I did have beers for my 50th bday. Which was my only slip up. I puked my guts out later that night. Instant regret. What that taught me was that i was over it. In a way i wanted to test myself. Just not for me anymore. Too old to feel like dog sh*t now. Keep up the content. You help a lot of ppl out. Thank you!

Sauce aint the boss helped me

I did it after 4 months gutted isnt the word

Really enjoyed your video mate. Congratulations on achieving your goals! 4 months into my sobriety journey. Lots of what you’re talking about is resonating with me. Safe to say it’s a shared experience. If you’re looking for the ultimate dopamine hit I’d suggest going for a run followed by a sea dip, ideally first thing in the morning. Guarantee you’ll feel amazing all day and beyond 👍🏻

Well done my friend I’m 9 months now it’s so good how things seem to be continuing to get better in life, obviously we have to put the work in but it’s a great feeling, well done on the year!

You handled it perfectly. If it was me I would have said to myself " Oh well I screwed up , I might as well have a few alcohol ones now!!"

A month alcohol free and I’m struggling a little, miss the pub and miss the booze 🤷‍♂️

Only a few minutes in but your video resonates with me. 1 beer for me is pointless, just makes me groggy. I may as well have my favoured 7-10 units (about 4 pints) over 2-4 hours in an evening. A light evening to some, but its a limit I set myself a fair few years ago and can stick to. Some people cant do that. Once they start they cant stop until they go to sleep. Thats not for me either. I cant stand a hangover. Right now im 87 days into a 90 day alcohol free challenge I set myself. Im going to go for the 100 day number, then at some point after that I might have a few beers. What I have learnt is that I dont want to go back to my old pattern of drinking nearly every time I have a day off work. Between now and Christmas I will test my new relationship with alcohol, and if its a failure then I will start next year sober and continue for longer than 100 days.

I spent from 17 two 47 getting hammered 30 years I been 4 months sober it is worth it lost weight skin looks better and bank accounts healthy 😎 but yah half 2 really want 2 stop not just because some1 else wants you 2

When I was about 100 days sober I was on a ski trip and everyone was drinking beers back at the lodge, I had alcohol free beers, but turns out my AF beer can looked very similar to my friends "real" beer, we were sitting next to each other on the couch and had our beers on the coffee table in front of me, I accidentally took a sip of his beer but realised as soon as it was in my mouth, I stopped and just held it in my mouth, looked around and no one had noticed, my friend and everyone were all in mid-conversation, so I quietly got up and went to the bathroom and spat it into the sink. My reaction really surprised me, that I kept calm, and didn't choose to just swallow it anyway.

I'm 68 days sober and almost everything you said resonated with me. I could have actually made a carbon copy of this video! The hardest thing for me was the 'thinking about drinking' constantly but I watched another video where a guy said that we can have up to 60 thousand thoughts a day and we don't act on most of them, they're just thoughts and to let them play themselves out, moving on to the next and so forth. So, I calmed down about that and carried on and in the last couple of days I have noticed that those thoughts have gone down from 80% to around 10%. And i'm so pleased about that because I was worried they would consume me. I also learned that alcohol 'hijacks' the brain so hence the thoughts. I have now worked so hard on changing my thought processing around alcohol, to living a sober life and i'm really enjoying it. And now I feel hopeful that I will never put that poison in my body again. Good luck to you and all who are on this beautiful sober journey.

OK, these are some good reminders, there’s no question that increasing your mental clarity and boosting your drive, comes with quitting. Yes, there are many ways to kick the habit, Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever is what worked for me, best shortcut I go’ogled that took days without withdrawal.

If only I knew how easy it would be, it’s been over 2 years and I don’t have any cravings at all, for me the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal, not even within the first 30 days after go’ogling and following Steffon Barkload’s and quitting because I just wanted to.

I have stopped booze for 60 days so far. Combined with alternate day fasting to lose weight. This experience showed me that my particular pattern of addiction is the "fine food with wine" experience rather than just booze. Food addiction is tough because you can't completely abstain from eating. That's why I believe an intermittent fasting process helps immensely in repatterning eating addiction ( usually coupled with wine consumption) and adoption of healthy eating for good.

94 Days here -- excited to hit 100 next week and then continue far beyond that. Former decade+ binge drinker here as well. I am still in the lonely phase since there's no one I really feel I can share my success with on this. Nice video.

Brillaint progress, do you have strava?

218 days in - waiting for the benefits

I have much the same relatioinship and approach with alcohol as you. I am 35 days in and feeling brilliant, so more to look forward to. + I really like the thinking around the quitting for good. Whilst I am not saying that openly that is how I am thinking also

I told my uncle I'm not drinking at the moment and it's as though he feels sorry for me saying what if you die in six months, you ha e to enjoy life, I just replied what if you die this afternoon, why aren't you drinking now. At the moment I'm in 1 year no beer and am thinking about 1 beer and 1 glass of wine on Xmas day night and I know that would be it. Doing a 12 month coffee challenge next May and will add alcohol into that again and maybe won't drink again who knows. Good work on the running, I've ran 3 London marathons over the last 10 years, I did have 1 pint and 1 glass of wine with a steak when I'd finished as I did my first sub 4 hrs over 30 mins quicker than when I ran my first one over 10 years earlier, can only dream about doing sub 3 hours 👍 I'm 9 months off the beer so far.

Alcohol is a killing killer. It's a slow process of a poison. It will claim your life, and it will be to late when its damaged your organs in your body.

Loved this as a fellow classic binge drinker on day 18 AF!

It's Forty Years Since I gave up Dinking and Smoking. Drink does Terrible Damage to your Body. The Answer is YES, it's Always best to Give Up Alchohol. It Really is Poison !!! Substitutes are good to get off Alchohol. I used Sweets and Fizzy Drinks !!!
