Hangovers and headaches are more than enough to put me off booze

[@d.q.666]

Today marks my first year of sobriety 💪. Thank you for your inspiring video's Kevin 🙏

[@nathanhorne2208]

Its the craving that is hard to deal with because once the thought becomes strong and its like a allergic reaction,

[@mdoomsday23]

Kevin, I have finally quit. I wish I could afford to join habits but due to my wife’s cancer, I cannot afford it. These videos really help!

[@bettyboo1927]

I now find not drinking alcohol easy ( 70+days). I love ALL of the benefits and wouldn’t give them up but I don’t know how to be socially without it.I’m just happy staying in atm and leading a quiet calm life. I’m still exhausted and need lots of sleep. I’m focusing on eating well and losing weight. I find I have no interest going to pubs to see friends, i realise now what I really loved was getting drunk, not really the people i was out with. I’m discovering i enjoy the company of a very few people, that I’m not really an extrovert at all. I don’t know what to do, what to pursue, is this all normal at this stage? I drank a lot of wine for 44 years. Feeling a bit lost but strong, if that makes sense? Your video really resonated today thank you so much. Anyone relate?

[@MAC88152]

Ya, that all makes perfect sense. I'm 37 days without and trying to reestablish my identity. I loved breweries but there's no point anymore. Ive met so many people in my 25 years of drinking. I'm not sure how I'm gonna be social now but I do know I'm on the right path and have no regrets about stopping. I've never been into cafes but I've been forcing myself to get out on weekend mornings to enjoy coffee and really embrace not being hungover. I also try to walk a few times a day to break things up. Keep up the great work!

[@bettyboo1927]

@@MAC88152 thanks Nick. I’ve been giving this lots of thought. I’m coming to the conclusion that one of the reasons I started drinking was to cover an innate shyness / lack of need to mix with groups. I’ve always been happier one to one. I’m not great with small talk but I’m great at it when I’m drinking. Just going to keep going, it feels right. It good knowing you’re on the right path isn’t it? And we all knew the drinking path was wrong. Good luck on your journey, let me know how you get on 👍

[@MAC88152]

@@bettyboo1927 I can relate to how you're feeling. I thinking most drinkers can. I haven't had a drink in 6 weeks and I can honestly say that most social interactions are a lot easy and the conversations are more meaningful and substantial. Feeling a little uncountable is part of the process and working through it is both necessary as well as rewarding. If you only connect with someone when you're drinking-you don't really connect with them. Good luck man!! It's st Patrick's day and I headed out for corned beef and cranberry juice. Gonna be a unique experience for sure!

[@Hello_Ladies]

Getting started was probably the most difficult thing for me. It's like going to the gym. I know I'll feel great when I go, but getting there is tough sometimes. Being a non-drinker gradually became easier over time until I was used to it. It didn't take long before the benefits started, and I knew I wouldn't go back.

[@georgiahumphreys3881]

I was recommended to watch you today and already watched quite afew of your videos. Thankyou for your honest approach instead of being so sugar coated like many others i have watched. No alcohol today and to be honest I don't feel like any, that's coming from someone on 3 bottles a day! Thankyou for your words 💪❣

[@johngoard8272]

Great stuff Georgia I do hope you have the willpower to keep it up. I would if I were you get your general health and liver health checked out by a specialist doctor. I am of alcohol after 14 years but still have liver damage which I am having investigated just remember that this is something that you need to do as liver damage is really insidious even though you feel well.

[@georgiahumphreys3881]

@@johngoard8272 thankyou so much for your kind words and advice, I appreciate that so much to feel like someone is on my side! Well day 1 out of the way and woke up full of positivity today and I will make it day 2 also, its my mission 😅🥰

@@georgiahumphreys3881 good for you! That's exciting! 🤘

[@georgiahumphreys3881]

4 days alcohol free! 😀😀😀

[@johngoard8272]

@@georgiahumphreys3881 Good on you Georgia just remember that you still have a long way to go and I found the first three months were the worst. What kept me going was the thought that every day I was off the alcohol was great and if I went back to it then that was however much time you have been off as wasted time and the thought of having to start all over again would be terrible. So just keep in mind every day off the drink is so valuable to you and don't go wasting that time and effort.🙂

[@itsjustme9354]

Tired of these hangovers 😩 Day 1 again 🙏

[@Jonkunniminenjuttu]

It's so hard to stay away from beer as it is almost only thing that gives me pleasure nowadays. Its so impossible to get pleasure from normal things as i am person who is bad in everything and who also suffers from perfectionism. I dont develope in things i want, no matter how hard i try. I always end up hating myself so much for sucking in everything that i lose motivation to stay sober. :( It makes me lose all hope cus can't stand fighting and can't really be strong.

[@Chuckmanyoudonut]

Just had a heavy 1000 pound binge after tricking myself into thinking I could moderate, finding this very useful right now i just hate that I have to make change after such pain and was unable to do this previously, March 13th the day i got serious I hope

[@guitarreilly]

1000! wow I was the same but just a nice 350 for me and a broken nose last weekend. Going to AA Friday good luck to you

[@rachangel1951]

By not drinking, I am my true self.

[@leetarrant5630]

Rach Angel , love this, that's all I ever wanted really but believed drinking helped, it actually took me further and further anyway from my true self with each drink, now gratefully I no longer believe the lies about alcohol/poison and am learning slowly to be my TRUE SELF 🙏

[@rollandjoeseph]

Love it! "A set and forget mentality" ... simple and determined 🙂

[@aubreyj.tennant1123]

Your work towards giving people their full lives back is priceless! Great job! 🙏🏼💫⚡️✨

[@ivetaabele6181]

It very much matters! I was brought up; alcohol consumption as the “good time/ celebration”, now it’s imbedded in me/us(my siblings)- it’s like we are conditioned with the spell… We all struggle, though we all three want to be free, alcohol misery free!

[@Quazlor]

Not much to say, but, thank you

[@JanineHyslop]

6weeks in but I've stopped before for 15 months a long time ago just want to keep on top of everything and find it just holds me back no major problem no rock bottom as such just used it as most do to De stress have to find healthier ways.

[@talulatree5297]

I have 3 days. I turned 51 yesterday. Im just tired of it holding me back as well. It's beyond time to take better care of myself. 9 months was my longest. 🤗💜Good Luck to you! Im just taking each day as it comes. I love going to bed not drunk, and waking up fresh and not mad at myself!

[@JanineHyslop]

@@talulatree5297 good yes I'm not missing it in reality just the idea of it now and again but i just check myself and remind myself I'm better off without it at all. I love my sleep and much better rest yes need to look after our health best wishes

[@JanineHyslop]

Yes it's a nice feeling.

[@udoseidel3370]

Hi Kevin thank you for another great video. I have chronic Tinnitus which is killing me from within thats why I am still drinking to calm me down, Must also stop drinking Coffee

[@johngoard8272]

Yes Kevin and I find a good dose of willpower goes a long way too. I am now exploring new ways of dealing with my diet because I do have liver damage from years of alcoholism and I find the wya to do this is to read a good few books on maintaining a healthy gut. I saying that taking a good probiotic diet is helping me.

[@jadecooney1]

Check out dr Berg on KZbin he's great about the diet and liver just put in his name and your ailment he usually has everything covered he has 6 million followers I hop this helps

[@johngoard8272]

@@jadecooney1 Ok Linda I will because I am on to getting my gut health in tune with my brain and general health and am very interested in how the gut biome works.

[@dryvur]

I'd just like to know why I make excuses to drink

[@patc8735]

G'day Kevin..another great video thanks..I'm curious how MUCH you were drinking at your peak(eg: dozen beers and a bottle of wine every day).cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍

[@mountaintruth1deeds533]

Man I had a few cheap pints last night after weeks of not really missing it. God awful headache and felt rubbish, didn't even ride the bike. Can't believe I drank that rot for decades, and lots of it. Always worked plenty that I could afford it, now at 57 and healthy time to kill the dragon of addiction to poison. Folks burn the ships you came in before you sink on them.
