Day 79 no alcohol over here and I feel so AMAZING!💪🏽🙏🏽❤️

[@gwillis01]

Congrats on your sober streak

[@nextlevelsuki]

@@gwillis01 thanks so much!!

[@alancane1482]

Sometimes we tell ourselves some lies because we want a drink.

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

Super helpful video! There is NOTHING good that comes from alcohol use, EVER! Yet society makes it look so enjoyable and good! Alcohol is the most destructive drug in society, physically, mentally and socially. It's largely ignored, advertised widely, little warnings and easily sold and accepted. Never too late to quit! Thanks for the video Leon! ❤👍

[@PaulBulko-wh3gy]

You can't help but notice the obscene lengths this culture goes through to keep alcohol as its cultural social mainstay.

[@tommybinson]

Great comment. Alcohol is a disgusting substance that makes nobody's life better.

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

@@tommybinson Agree! Well said Tommy! 👋

[@Iscoileachme]

Do you keep saying this to assure yourself? Like you desperately need to believe in this idea just not to relapse lol. I understand it, but still find it hilarious😂

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

@@Iscoileachme Михаил Definitely not! I say this because as a Drug Counselor- Youth Worker and Mental Health Practitioner for over 20 years, I saw the suffering, the slow death from liver failure and the suicides of my clients.😴Greetings from Melbourne of Australia!👋

[@korniits]

Day 16 sober, feeling so much better already. Stay strong folks! 💪

[@Zumjay85803]

That's the nail on the head. They industry have convinced people that they're not selling "a drug". Thanks to the free flow of info, we now know differently.

[@hershy31]

670 days FREE from alcohol. Thanks for the videos Leon!

[@thecryingdutchman8922]

I stopped 22 days ago. First 2 weeks I was dead tired did fitness twice but was very hard. Last week I've been training everyday and I feel great already. I wasn't an alcoholic yet but the last 2 years I was going that way.

[@Richy.Boi.]

I often convince myself that after a few weeks sobriety, I deserve a few drinks for that effort, these few drinks unfortunately turns into a binge, regardless of the impending insomnia, depression and anxiety that follows the binge.

[@Adam-gn5kh]

One of the biggest things stopping me from drinking again is the insomnia. It's really bad, I'm talking drinking heavily on a Sunday, going to sleep around 9/10, wake up at half 12-1am and not sleeping again then having to go to work at 6. Absolute hell. Not a big deal after a Friday night cos can just drink again the Saturday. Thought about sobriety for the last decade but it finally got bad enough, even now I still think about a drinking a lot though.

[@miketexas4549]

Can't tell you how many times I decided to "reward" myself for 4 weeks of no drinking with a drink. The next thing I know, I'm back to drinking a bottle of tequila everyday.

[@Telepathy-cn2bj]

Leon thanks to your channel I've crossed day 300. There's even been wine in the house since NYE and I haven't even been tempted to drink it! I've been hiting the gym and increased my social life going to gigs etc where other people drink etc, I'm perfectly fine in my decision to be non drinker. Thankyou so much

[@LeonSylvester]

Let’s go! 🔥

[@wajarabapunshi638]

Day 4 of not drinking. Can already see huge changes. My mood is good, sleeping well, and my skin definitely has cleared up and my face has slimmed down.

[@hawkatsea]

Thanks for this video #4 hits the nail on the head. The idea that there is a "correct" amount of alcohol to drink is absolutely intended to put the blame on the individual rather than the beverage industry's predatory marketing tactics, very similar to the "litter-bug fallacy", i.e., disposable plastics industry blaming consumers for not recycling. In the US, there have been many, many unfruitful attempts to get the AG to change the language to reflect alcohol as a drug, but you know we had that whole prohibition thing, and the consequence has been that alcohol industries have more protection and lobbing power than ever.

[@lukerichardson7356]

8 weeks since I binned alcohol this coming weekend. I never had a problem as such , but I certainly have / had a history of mental health issues. It no longer makes sense to ingest something that may aggravate that any more. Best decision ever so far albeit small, not looking back.

[@danhuerta8488]

I keep telling myself I'm going to quit, but then I always find myself holding a beer later on the day. I stopped for 3 months but I felt life was boring. Eventually I will quit I just hope it's not to late

[@virginiashoemaker4045]

Just keep trying.. They say it only takes one time to quit for good. ( It maybe the next time)

[@gwillis01]

Some government health agencies have said responsible drinking is having only one or two servings of alcohol in a week.

[@gwillis01]

It's the alcohol sales and marketing teams that have heavily promoted the idea of moderate consumption. If you can't get the consumer to buy five units, at least get them to buy one unit.

[@gwillis01]

I believe that some people have the genetic set up to become addicted more quickly than others. However, it is a tendency not a certainty. One can mentally fight against a tendency.

[@gwillis01]

I agree that things would be different if all alcohol company executives had to work an evening shift at a.dive bar once a week.

[@scottallen2190]

Makes me insane when I hear people parroting the "in moderation" sentiment, total BS!

[@ocorley3124]

Absolutely, an alcoholic doesn't even know what that means. Just like someone that's addicted to smoking crack doesn't understand just hitting the pipe a couple times!

[@PaulBulko-wh3gy]

Yeah, they don't tell people to use heroine responsibly or moderately.

[@VesnicanMax]

One of the best episodes I've watched! Greetings from Czech Republic

[@AkS143joyful]

I love the explanation of saying you are not an alcoholic

[@ThalonRamacorn]

Almost a year without drinking and I dont miss it at all. I sometimes watch your videos for motivation :)

[@user-qv7qj4xu8y]

No moderation to alcohol , nothing like drinking responsibility

[@robbiekeith3528]

I appreciate you thinking for yourself. I do it all the time. You got some good points but I have my own way of thinking and I can't agree with ever you said as an absolute. I got off alcohol by not going to any program. I just thought the process out myself and it worked. Same with losing weight or working out. I think the process Tru myself I realise this approach isn't for everyone. Everyone seems to need the therapist. I even tried therapy once and kept arguing with my therapist picking apart what would be bes 11:54 t for me. I gave up a benzo addiction all by myself by thinking Tru the process. Again I appreciate your approach but It isn't 100% my truth. Having said that your way of thinking is miles ahead of alcoholics anonymous.. Cheers

I'm really happy to like another great video by Leon battling alcohol propaganda👍

[@LeonSylvester]

Thanks for the support 🙌

Day 20 sober, struggling with depression big time but at least I'm not numb to my emotions for once.

[@taylorsmith7582]

Alcohol provides the greatest benefits!! That’s why it’s so addictive.

[@liamwalker206]

Great video! Leon, just out of curiosity what is your accent? I’m from Yorkshire but I have never heard anyone speak like this.

[@Padge112]

Id never say AA is a bad thing but it has its road up the mountain and its tried and true. Some people fjnd tracks off the road. They are well trodden and just as good. Do a meeting and if it resonates it may help. Dont become beholden if your unsure. The best thing to have is a friend or person who wont jusge you but wont enable you either start their if anywhere. And good luck.

[@AkS143joyful]

At day 60 today!

[@user-si8hd6ix6g]

I put down a handle of vodka a day for eight years and I had withdrawals for 6 days full blown seizures and I just woke up in sweats, showered, hydrated, played back down and did it all over again. I’m alive and well man, My friends told me I’d die like my musical hero Amy whinehouse if I quit. …

[@Lance-lightning]

Most drugs including alcohol and cigarettes , have a tendency to reprogram the brain in a way that makes it difficult to process information about it in a normal rational way. I've heard some just refuse to accept facts like it is a carcinogen as well as some of the myths you have outlined here. Alcohol produces memories about the experience that will last even years after quitting but both physical and mental health will improve the longer you stay clear of it. As with any addiction , understanding what got you started in the first place will help prevent you from slipping back into the void.😵‍💫

[@casper1240]

The Alcohol industry tell the Government what to say

[@aruiztech]

To me “Alcoholic” is not a judgement, it’s a fact. If I start drinking, I can’t stop. To me that’s alcoholic. Some people can have one drink and stop. I can’t. It used to bother me to describe myself as an alcoholic. But it’s just a description of my experience. Coffee and alcohol are two different things. Alcohol destroys lives. Coffee doesn’t.

[@15bulletproof]

Alcoholism was in fact a medical team before they changed it to Alcohol use disorder in order to encompass a wider range of symptoms

Bro if your an addict your an addict. I can’t stop drinking it’s been 2 years and I’m about to die. You have no clue obviously !

18 years without it but just stopped because I wanted to save cash

When you talked about the ”coffee-holic and the other stuff” sooooo damn true and good exemple!😳🫵🏼🫶🏽 when someone stop for an example with weed we dont call that person weed-oholic and so on and so on… so really good told Leon👌

And btw the whole video really good talk Leon! Thanks alot!!🙏🏽🫵🏼

[@vadimustinov9025]

Indeed, if you think about, there's some sickly twisted logic in this mad world with alcohol - the only way to quit it is to label oneself "an alcoholic"; otherwise you MUST drink that poison. What a mess in people's heads

[@Bellan8845]

@@vadimustinov9025 exactlyyy and the ”addiction” only continue in a way that is so pointless😬🤦🏽‍♂️
