[@blazerman61]

being a bartender and watching ppl go from sober to drunk and seeing the change definitely helped me quit...

[@pauljordan4452]

I know. Taking antibiotics and drinking Sprite in a restaurant with dinner while everyone else is getting wasted and having to listen to them talking shit repetitively is so boring! You can't have a decent conversations.

[@thurso1968]

Sobriety didn't open the gates of heaven and let me in. Sobriety opened the gates of hell and let me out. Great video Kevin!

[@Hendrix67297]

RobRamdisk Well put.

[@troltrolko1914]

#RobRamdisk here's several things for stopping alcohol at home Try to eat food when you are drinking - this cuts down the amount you drink. Take a break from alcohol. Keep track of how much you drink, then you know if you are cutting down. Set yourself goals - don't make them too hard at first. Choose one or two days or every week when you will not drink . Then, try to stop drinking for one week each month. (I discovered these and why they work from Adoette drink plan website

[@tgerule]

Incredible analogy!

[@ensulalachance8353]

I stopped drinking cold turkey. It was the only way for me as i am an all or nothing person. Try different things and see what works for you.

[@iraidushka]

Same was for me, Marie-Christine Lachance. Gradual quitting would not work for me. Next week will be 3 months since I stopped drinking cold turkey. I hope you are still doing good.

[@bossofallsources]

You are my AA meeting i watch your videos daily as apart of my sobriety journey to keep me on my journey. Thank you 🙏

[@enchantress7]

1 month sober. I feel so much better. I do crave alcohol in the evenings. Mostly I think out of habit because I used to get wine on my way home from work. I am easily triggered but I just talk myself out of it. I actually sleep instead of passing out. I actually dream. I love waking up in the mornings. I wake up so grateful every morning and thank myself for not drinking the night before. I'm much happier. I've mended many relationships. I feel good. I just started crossfit this morning.

[@markswift3084]

Good for you, hope you still on track.

[@sterlingwalter5971]

I'm starting to feel all those things after just 6 or 7 days, and it IS great. Going to keep it going.

[@elainecel8954]

Ty for sharing, i am on my fifth week without alcohol and I feel great too! I hope you are still doin well.

[@centurion6378]

My 2nd day sober 🎉 I'll make it

[@enchantress7]

I've made to a year and 6 months sober! You can do it!

[@jorez89]

I quit drinking and smoking at the same time, as I thought that simply one is the trigger to another :). I'm now 4 weeks alcohol and nicotine free. My motivation is if I quit drinking and smoking, then I can afford to run my dream car..

[@ensulalachance8353]

Were you able to keep going?

[@danielthompson5785]

Smoking is like a drink. Equally destructive.

[@GlassOfWater87]

I find it funny how those people who said they quit and made a comment about it years ago never reply back to the comments where people ask if they are still sober, lol. but hey, hope you are still sober and can soon b uy your new car

[@bradleyd8760]

today's my first day of my new sobriety. I can't take drinking anymore in my life. I had yesterday a moment where i realized I was a functioning alcoholic.

[@AlphaMom55]

God bless you and strengthen you. I'll pray for you. I'm cheering you on, amigo. 🙏💙

[@centurion6378]

So how are you today?

[@russelledwards5128]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world. I have been sober for 1.5 years now and every one of your words ring true to me. I thought quitting alcohol would solve all my problems. I didn't realize how much work there was to do after. Having feelings again was one of the biggest things to deal with. I wish you well with your journey.

[@HabitsV2]

Thanks for sharing Russell. Congrats on your 1.5 years...

i quit drinking like 2 week ago its hard but i will pull it through cause i almost lost my family cause of that shhh

[@mikecarr8641]

just wanna thank you for your vidz.the struggle is real

[@evelynbaron2004]

I complained one day to my sis, sober 30 plus years, that I was bored. This is progress!!!!! she said. Life on life`s terms; dogged persistence and realizing that some days are diamond, some days are rocks. Tx Kevin, your videos really help me keep on track.

[@tinysteps2330]

Wished I had your positive sharing years ago. You inspire me .. Two weeks in an eager to walk the walk of personal growth. It's onwards and upwards. Thank you Kevin.

[@cameronwood1981]

This is a great video! I quit drinking 6 weeks ago and am experiencing a few of these truths that u listed. Its extremely helpful to see this identified and explained

[@davelloyd9079]

I've had PTSD/panic/anxiety for the last 14+ years. I swear, I wish it was just this simple. I'm glad this man has had success in his approach, it's just not applicable to everyone in general. Which came first... the chicken or the egg?? Is your "struggle" worse because of the drinking???... OR is your "drinking" worse because of the struggle?? I've endured 8 life changing events that were catastrophic at LEAST in my younger years. 5 happened before age 18. But, the train kept rollin. I am an Army veteran, and THAT in itself is not grandiose, but I WOULD say doctors, family, friends, psychologists, etc, need to lose the catch all diagnosis of 'drunk/alcoholic', and start focussing LESS on the booze and MORE on what causes the booze. And doctors don't do that. They tend to hear the word "alcohol", and THAT becomes their saving grace, catch-all, diagnosis/ prescription word for what ails you. (ie.- they'll tell you "stop drinking, and everything will fall into place and be better." But again, Chicken or the egg. ?? ) It's easy to get on here and post generalized 'guru' self help bullshit, and give big advice, but human nature simply does NOT react to that. If stopping was that simple, there'd be no problem ever.

[@marilynhorne4954]

I lived with my alcoholic ex for 2 years. When I met him, I was a social drinker who drank rather heavily and while dating him I doubled the amounts until I started experiencing blackouts and decided to cut back. As I cut back alcohol we started growing apart. His best friend who I had the best relationship with previously started resenting me and even yelling at me. I tried to hold on to my ex in every way but he eventually became violent towards me. It's sad but at least I am rid of that habit now.

[@joemaralvarez9510]

i will try again... i failed😢 thank you for this video.

[@esahutske]

I’m right there with you I gotta stop

[@davidhill2507]

This has been quite inspiring to me I have realized I have a drinking problem for some time and this had made me re-evaluate my goals and I intend to start my sober journey.

[@mjstowe1]

[@primaballerina84]

I really shot my drinking to a tremendous level after my husband died and I felt entitled to do so.....but it took hold of me and I perfected how to drink instead of dealing with the real stuff.

[@jameslloyd7891]

Thank You So Much For Sharing Yr Experiences Of Quitting Alcohol With Us..

[@foxriver1978]

Great video... Emotions for me plays a big role and is one of the biggest challenges. I was so used to that in order to have fun alcohol has to be involved. So that mind changing is what I am working on...

[@evelynbaron4428]

thanks Kevin, for a spot on video. For me, the beginning was a really rough ride. I'm grateful for that, because I never want to go back to that nightmare. And I like the idea that obstacles can be opportunities; but it's going to be hard work. You've said it all.

[@christinecortes6342]

Very true , a person using alcohol as a way to cope with both good and bad . This happens so long you lose or never learn how to cope with life’s situations. You also don’t learn how to deal with relationship and so on because everything involved drinking . So as an adult later in life you still lack these needed skills and make poor choices because again these things were not learned without alcohol. It’s a horrible situation but if you look at it the alcoholic basically never grows up .

[@gererdjones3100]

10. agree, alcohol is just a symptom, a surface indicator of deer problem.

[@dermotwoods1899]

Hi Kevin - I've stopped drinking since January 6th this year so just over a month in and its getting a bit easier as i go on. My perception of alcohol has definitely changed and i think that is key. I went to a few AA meetings and took what i could that was good from it (introducing a bit of spiritual and taking time to deal with my daily emotions mainly) I'm currently reading "Wasted: A Sober Journey thru Drunken Ireland". At this time im having a lot of dreams at night or in the morning that I've drank and they kind of scare the hell out of me. I wanted to see if you have or could do a video on this topic, are these common and do they go on forever or decrease or disappear eventually. Thanks - Dermot.

[@Hendrix67297]

Well done Dermot.

[@laurahicks9558]

As a person who has been sober for 17 years, I can promise it will not be like this forever. Don't let the dreams scare you, your mind is just trying to cope with the adjustment, it is traumatic to your mind, but it won't be forever...I promise.

Dermot Woods I have had these dreams as well when I first stopped drinking. I would wake up so stressed out like oh no why did I drink but than I realized it was just a dream which made me feel relieved. Hang in there. :)

[@meghanr6a899]

How are you doing now? We're you able to continue to stay sober

[@naturallyimperfect8399]

Take it day by day people. Don't drink just because someone else is. As at party's ect. Don't just drink because you can. Knowing you really don't want to in the first place.

[@KDkatterr]

Thanks for putting in words just about everything I'm going through. Today I don't want to drink but I don't know what to do with myself so I'm just listening to your channel and doing my taxes, I'm boring but a least I'm sober and alive. I like putting my life in perspective a lot lately and if I remind myself that I have it made compared to many others it helps. Just considering health I am so grateful for mine even though I will always have problems with my pancreas that isn't much compared to someone with cancer or seeing others so sick they can't even move. I'm grateful for everything I went through and saw at the hospital, it makes me thankful everyday. I was wasting my life being wasted.

[@solutionsgirl]

Thanks Kevun..another great, honest no B.S. video 💜

[@elizabethme9632]

I loved when you sais 'your bored, that's what it's like for me. Hope you can help xx

[@Minunmaani]

I have a braindamage (from chilhood, ski accident) I have used alcohol to handle my emotions that are wierd, sorrow and anger, alien feeling, invaliditet, broke selfimage. I find your channel useful, not just quit the drinking but also to teach myself better ways to live with my invaliditet (re-programming)

[@pauljordan4452]

Do you hear voices in your head due to drinking alcohol and the brain damage? Alcohol gets into the tissue. That's my problem. Try Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris MD).

[@pauljordan4452]

Hi Kevin. I started abstaining as I said from 2nd March due to managing congenital brain damage. During a two week period in 2017 when my grandfather was dying I drank a few beers daily to release endorphins.

this would be helpful to the non alcoholic problem drinker who might be destroying their life with booze, but they can stop and rethink rebuild. I am a real alcoholic, this would not and did not work. I tried many times. if all else fails there's always AA, worked for me 15 yrs ago. good luck.

[@naturallyimperfect8399]

I get the boring card thrown at me. Because I won't take that one puff of a blunt. Also I won't have just that one shot of vodka. They always say it's just one. Then next thing known, I'm off track. Just avoid it all together. People gonna talk bad either way.

First of all Since i dont understand i want a pure conversation and serious answers. Ok 1) How is it possible to get addicted to alcohol im a smoker though but i cant understand how this works with alcohol. 2) Why addictives get drunk easier than an average guy. Since they drink longer they should be having stronger system right ? 3) How it feels to be addicted to alcohol, I mean after a couple of drinks, when you feel dizzy what makes you drink more ? i remember when i got drunk at a party but i realised i was drunk, when i got up from the couch then i stopped drinking but as the time passed by i couldnt even walk without help and i thought i was gonna die if i leaned my head back and i wanted to puke so so bad and couldn't, i couldnt see properly, i had paranoia, i had mixed feelings of fear sadness etc, i was crying without reason, i dont remember how/when i got home and i could feel my head exploding. Eventually i fall asleep and after i got up 10 hours later i was still dizzy. Well it was a bad experience i will be remembering my whole life and since then i drink a couple of drinks within 4 hours. That night i drunk almost 9 differnt drinks in an hour without food.

[@ShinyLunaToneLover]

not all alcoholics get black out drunk everyday some every other week and just happen to drink everysingle day and get that nice buzz, you build up a tolerence after awhile and can stomach more and then you start to crave that cold beer after work or margirita or other mixed drink. Just like the more you smoke the more you want it.

Clearly doesn't help with dementia. STOP just stop repeating the same thing over and over, for the love of my sanity write a script, review and edit the script then maybe ask some other people to read it and give critical feedback record it and if you say um or aaaand then start again.
