[@GettingSoberAgain]

Glad to hear...but how did you prepare for sobriety? Would you personally spend more time to go to the beach than you have to get sober? Watch episode 103 "Preparing for sobriety" and get back to me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYK4qXyNbb1omKM All of the emptiness, sadness, depression and ROOT CAUSES for feelings of inadequacy still remain. We have to BE HONEST with ourselves, cut the bullshit, and cut out ALL toxic behaviors. What's the point of getting sober if you still hang with alcoholics, or go through the same motions or still hang at the same places. ACTIVITY REPLACEMENT THERAPY!

Its still a battle but I'm down to 2 or 3 beers every other night. For me I just got burned out on drinking and still am. So when I do have a beer or 2 after that I start to feel disgusted and little by little its disappearing from my life. Compared to a year ago and the years prior I feel I accomplished alot. Its not perfect but I still see it as a battle and won't let up. Building my relationship with God and staying active has helped alot. Reminding myself to stay focus on building a better me so I can be a better person for the my love ones.

I was a heavy wine drinker for the past 18+ years. For the past year or more, I was drinking 2+ bottles a night. This past February, on my 50th birthday, I stopped drinking. No alcohol for more than a month so far. My swollen belly and concerns about my liver made me stop.Thoughts of dying of cirrhosis were really starting to get to me at night. Anyway, my swollen belly is going down, and I feel a lot better. I do miss drinking, though, because being fully aware all the time is hard. But dying with a failing liver seems like a far worse fate (although a failing liver could still be in my near future, considering how much I abused it).

Just completed 35 days on tribesober southafrica and i must tell you apart from coughing and phlegm, everyone of your points have been spot on for me. The thought of ever drinking wine again sickens me. My drinking started from early childhood traumas, but i have examined them and put them in their place. The biggest win for me has been UN-NUMBING. You rock. Keep at I am in this with you. Drinking alcohol is definetly going out of fashion like smoking. I of course used to do both. Smoked till 48. Hey i am feeling brand new. Never ever too late to stop.

Hi WIN 1558, I'm 66 and relate to early trauma/fear that has unfortunately governed much of my life. I grew up with two Jekyll and Hyde alcoholics, but am not one. My personality is easygoing, respectful, and loving of others. I think that is a partial curse to getting sober. Have tons of AA under my belt. I keep pushing and my thoughts and actions are geared to say enough...but that also means making a decision. All the best to you and your long-term sobriety.

I stopped for 30 days in Jan 2020. I felt so good, I then challenged myself to 100 days, and felt even better. So, here I am 1-1/2 years later, and I still haven’t had a drink. That small break made me realize what a waste of time, money, and health drinking is. I am healthier, richer, and I have a lot more time to be productive. Try it in small steps or challenges, and not only will you love yourself more, but everyone close to you will love you more. If you’re successful, you will realize how much better life is without the booze. It’s like being set free. I wish the best luck to all of you that want a temporary or permanent break from alcohol.

[@rwilko9525]

@@lettoturner5079 it's all in the mind. Will power and sheer determination to make the change. You CAN do it! Don't count the days, make the days count. Be aware of HALT. Hungry, angry, lonely and tired. Eat well, talk to friends, get sleep and avoid situations that will trigger anger, it's easy to go back to substances if we are angry and looking for that thing to change our mental state. Stay present, go through the pain because on the other side of the pain is pleasure. Get up early, fill your days with positive actions. Tire yourself out by the evening and drink camomile tea. Melatonin can help with the sleep. I sweated and couldn't sleep for a week. I drank 3x bottles of 700ml spirits every 2 days for a long time. If I can do it. So can you! Best of luck

Sexual abuse, abandonment, physical beatings, being locked in dark closets and my room since born. Starvation! You name it! It seems like I changed.in to a completely different person.

don't be so hard on yourself. if you didn't drink from January until July, and this, let's say, freelapse day in July was just that, a single freelapse day, you're still doing great. hell, if you had a single weekend freelapse per month you would still be doing great. keep going. see alcohol for what it is and, most importantly, for what it shouldn't be: a crutch. and if you happen to feel like having a few beers at a certain weekend withing months of sobriety, go ahead. go and come back. we are all going to die anyway, so choose to live the good life. your body is not a temple, is an amusement park. enjoy the ride.

I always said "I'm not addicted" until the day I created a spreadsheet to keep track of my daily routine and it turns out that I was drinking pretty much 6 out of 7 days a week. Last week I decided to stop and what really helped me was the fact that the following day I was in the supermarket and I said "let's buy a couple of beers". That hit so hard on me and at the same time is helping me to stay on the right path. Thanks for sharing this video and thanks for people that are commenting 🙌🏻

I am doing fantastic this past year-and-a-half since I quit drinking. My life has basically gone in a positive direction ever since I put the drink down. I have a large amount of energy for work I have a positive attitude towards my job I take care of my lady and my little doggy with pleasure and he's ever since I'm not craving or just being a drunk idiot. My anxiety level dropped to a super low level which is very exciting because I have PTSD when I got stabbed nine times and 2007 and that's kind of the reason I started drinking so hard but it's to kill my anxiety. But ever since I quit I don't have anxiety like that anymore

This is so frustrating. Some, if not most people definitely like it’s a personal attack on them when I don’t drink. It’s like I’m indirectly saying “your life choices are terrible, look how holy and right I am!” What most people fail to understand is that my choice not to drink has NOTHING to do with them. It is MY personal decision which only affects me. It seems to bring out other people’s insecurities about their choices. Not that I care. I really don’t but they fail to comprehend that

@@GettingSoberAgain Hey brother, yes I am great. Update: I quit drinking and smoking cigarettes and taking adderall and smoking weed all by the end of February 2021. I have had only small issue with tiredness once I finally put it all down. It took about six weeks for me to mentally prepare myself to put it all down and the first two weeks I was super sleepy. I believe it has been by the grace of God that I don't have any cravings for nor have I had any for alcohol since late February when I quit. With that said I keep my guard up against alcohol and I plan to never drink again. I don't hide the fact that I quit and plan to never drink again. My ex wife also told me recently she has successfully quit drinking which was and answer to prayer and I can see she is so much better too. Thanks for asking about an update. Since most people I know work remote they don't see the change that I've experienced so it is nice to share. I was going to go to AA meetings but never made it and honestly I just don't think about alcohol anymore. I've been delivered praise be to God and thank you Jesus.

@@michaelking4578 incredible! And we give god the glory, Amen! What a blessing you are. May you continue to serve others and share your light and courage to help them find their way :)

Day 477 no alcohol at all.I sleep better,i am more of myself,a happy and positive human being as i am,alcohol made me a negative person for me and my closed ones. My wallet is fuller as i was spending too much on beers and spirits.For all the souls out there that are struggling with this poison i know its difficult at first but dont give up on yourselves. You deserve better than this

This video is very inspiring and helpful! I'm on my 3rd day sober, and it feels great. I have so much more time and wake up with a lot more energy! One sober step at a time. ❤🎉

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you woke up sober day 4. The first week is always tricky because that voice starts creeping up telling us "we're fine. we feel better. you were worried about nothing. maybe drinking will be different now". Make sure to check out our newer videos, this one is over 2.5 years old! New video came out weds!

[@markdavis6835]

Having spent the majority of my adult life in the US Navy I have finally decided I have had enough. I'm on day 27 and feeling better everyday. Lost 12 lbs so far and reduced my high blood pressure now down to a slightly below normal range for my age. Still got a long way to go, but videos like this one help a lot. Thank you for making this one. All 20 things are absolutely true and I hope to continue on past 30, 90 and hopefully a lot longer.

I am on day three and I have a lot of anguish luckily I have some Xanax which I do not abuse I’ve done this before I’ve stopped for a year and backtracking a while ago and just recently in January of this year I stop for a month but went back this time I’m sick of it especially going through all of this anguish and anxiety I’m going to steadfast. How many days did it take you before you start feeling any Anguish anxiety

[@GettingSoberAgain]

@@johnannoreno07 there's definitely therapeutic benefits to Xanax. But obviously it's highly addictive. I never abused it myself but found it greatly helpful

[@kristymoore7052]

THANKS! Been on the fence… “to drink or not to drink.” I know…. I think I’ll watch this everyday for a few days and get it though my thick head.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

I'm happy to hear that you are another step closer to living your best life! This is episode 31 that you just watched. Our most popular to date! I also have another video that is similar about quitting alcohol for 90 days! We have over 150 timeless videos and a ton of helpful members in our comment section as well as trained moderators to keep us all on the right track! Make sure you properly prepare for your sober journey! Map it out, know when you rest, where there may be detours, etc… People spend more time preparing for a trip to the beach than they do for journey into sobriety... Watch these two episodes below before you start your sober journey!! This is a journey that takes 3 major things -Preparation -Practice -Patience I made an episode specifically for this! Episode 87 called "The 3 P's of Sobriety: Preparation, Practice, Patience" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJrRZIGlnrl9f80 I also did one specifically on the PREPARATION part, episode 103: "Preparing to get Sober" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYK4qXyNbb1omKM WATCH THEM BOTH AND GET BACK TO ME :) And before you forget, make sure to subscribe and turn on all notifications so you can join our livestream/chats and know when we have new episodes out.

I’m starting today quitting alcohol. My mental health has gotten worse and alcohol makes me feel worst the next day. I hate it because it’s starting to ruin some things in my life. I really want to get better mentally and physically and also able to do more in life instead of always be in bed because I’m always hangover. It’s time to quit!

[@GettingSoberAgain]

It's time indeed :):):)

[@aloha_oe311]

@@GettingSoberAgain thanks I’m 7days without alcohol. My first weekend for so long that I’ve got to accomplished some stuff that I’ve put aside in the past couple of weeks. Also feels so good getting up early Saturday and Sunday at 8am and not 4pm with no headaches.

Thank you for sharing. Been an intense addict and drunk for many years. I became ill and in more legal trouble than I’ve ever wanted. I’ve sobered up many times, only seeming to last so long before blowing my world back up into tragic pieces. Back a couple weeks on the clean program. I am so grateful.

I stopped drinking a year and a half ago after having the flu for 15 days- head ache wouldn’t go away with tromadol - 1 Tylenol 20 minutes it was gone- I drank for 53 years happy go lucky all my life - still married 53 years - I decided it was time to stop poisoning myself- I feel fantastic and my wife is very proud of me - we’re still very much in love and happy - I’m 69 next month and feel like Jack La Lane - you guys better watch out.
