50 Days Alcohol Free - Here's What Happened

[@HarryMansell]

Back to football/Wolves videos next week but as its international break I thought I'd discuss this topic! Like I said in the video, I'm not preaching, I just felt like sharing my experience with not drinking and discussing the benefits. Cheers.

[@DaveD1985]

Fairplay mate 👍 . Same background story as me Im thinking of doing it myself the hangovers and hangsiety are getting worse as im getting older lol. Im nearly 40 now time for change out of the drinking routean ahaa

[@gman2307]

Great video really honest. Coincidentally I went to Liverpool game also and haven’t drank since! Just out of work and kids also but have been reducing the amount I drink over the last couple of years. Losing weight is harder when you’re older and the drink doesn’t help. Probably will have a few drinks over Christmas but definitely made me think twice over the amounts. Agreed with the Guinness also, tastes almost the same! 👍🏽

[@ItsMeMatt1986]

Well done mate.

[@bigwill0236]

I've cut right down and I stopped drinking lager for a while to lose weight. It's funny me and the misses got pissed Saturday night and never touched anything yesterday because we were hung over, so I tend to drink in moderation more now so I don't feel like I did yesterday. I've noticed how much better I feel though just from cutting down. So fair play to ya for knocking it on the head completely, whatever makes you happy mate is the way forward. 👌

[@kwd2047]

Well done Harry. If only Wolves had been as tough as you over the last 50 days! We are all behind you. RESPECT.

[@poztin]

Much respect for you m8. End of last year i managed 3 months without a drink. In those 3 months i had holidays abroad, wolves games home and away, weddings and came through it all without a drink. Felt amazing about myself and like you say, was sleeping better, more energy, skin felt better, had more focus with my job. Felt great !! For most of the time... But the last maybe 3 weeks of being sober i fell into a depression. Didnt want to do anything, go out, even missed wolves games because i just didnt see the point in anything. Then unfortunately... i fell off the wagon.. promising myself i wouldnt drink as much as i used to... just to try and get me out of the depression. And it worked !!! for a period of time... But now im back to square one... drinking until i pass out because i cant sleep. on a day to day basis. However... last week i had another one of my wake up calls... panic attacks constantly.. thinking im about to have a heart attack.. just not good ! And so its prompted me to try again... (5 days in) So seeing your vid has come at a great time. Well done and keep it up. I know exactly how your feeling. Keep up the great work our kid ! UTW !!

[@HarryMansell]

Can relate so much to this mate! That's the toughest part, your mind plays tricks on you and convinces you, you can drink again but be sensible with it! 3 months is incredible though and proof you can do it again! Think the best thing to do is fill the gaps with other stuff when you'd usually drink... the obvious being the gym etc... I've even started playing chess to pass time (never thought I'd say that sentence) lol. 5 days is 5 days and will be 3 months before you know it, keep going 🙌

[@poztin]

@@HarryMansell Thanks m8... gonna give it a good go. My biggest problem is sleeping. My brain is so active at night with stress about work and life.. i find it impossible to fall asleep and find myself just lay there till 3, 4 and 5am wide awake with all kinds of shit going round in my head... then feel like shit when i go to work ! So a lot of the time, i dont even want a drink... i just down a load of vodka as quick as i can about 10pm to knock myself out to get some sleep ! But we both know its not the answer. My best mate had a real real big problem.. he had to go down the AA route and struggled massively.. but he is now 6 years sober and built like a brick shithouse !! Keep going mukka !

[@barrywest2170]

Best of luck you can do this 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏽🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@TalkingWolves]

Well done Harry, fair play mate x

[@johnpascall]

Well done Harry!

[@nicktew5617]

Well done Harry, a great vlog and well worth sharing. I have reduced my alcohol intake and agree the Guinness zero is good. Will still have a couple of pints when out but can stop before it gets messy. Must say though as a fellow Wolves fan it can drive you to drink! Keep up the good work and keep sharing to inspire others! 👍👏🥰

[@123-NORTH-STREET]

Godbless you Harry you are a good man both my parents were missing heads put me off it

[@Raymond-x6k]

Well done mate, I injured myself on the piss and I have not had a drink for 9 months. I don't feel like going back to it.

[@Mouldy7890]

Keep going Harry, great choice for your kids.

[@kevinjackson6387]

Well done

[@vincentknight1626]

Well done I’m 23 months in after a chirosis diagnosis keep going there are some excellent 00 alcohol outs there

[@davidcarter3109]

Keep going mate. UTW.

[@HiggyBear68]

Fair play to you mate, fingers crossed you can keep it going! Just on the counter to what you said, about missing out on a good night out because you're not drinking. I permanently feel that I've missed out over the years, on great nights out, Because I don't drink! Don't like the stuff! Lucky for me, maybe?

[@deanmarsden1652]

Absolutely love this mate.

[@andyhinton9924]

Well done Harry 👏👏 I think a lot of us are or have been in your situation. I know I am in there for sure. Similar to you I’ve almost cut it out now for about 12 months. I only have one now and again. Great to get up the next day, remember the night before, and not feel like shit. Awesome mate 👌

[@michaelvincent8306]

My dad was a alcoholic bloody nightmare childhood if not for my mother would have been in the care system he was dead at50 anyone who can quit has my full respect as its very difficult to do I take my molinueax hat off to you harry

[@mikedavies2857]

Well done harry if you have to have a drink when you go out i think its a problem

[@vincentlewis6973]

Good for you

[@nightflyer69]

Keep it up Harry, you will look back on this in years to come and think this was the best thing I ever did, I know from experience.

[@rubytuesday7225]

Well done Harry 🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@richardmajor2563]

Well done, I have it for Lent s few times and concur with what you say. Use fizzy water to satisfy the desire for a gulg.

[@Kevmac332]

Well done Harry, 👏 Want to do it myself.

[@TomsAtticBand]

Imagine the money you’ll save- you could buy half a season ticket next year! Keep it up X

[@bryanlea8115]

Never apologise (or at least sound apologetic!) for doing something that improves your quality of life. I haven't given up the booze myself, but I only drink a small fraction of what I used to back in my 20s and early 30s and can easily go weeks without a visit to the pub and I never drink at home. Keep going!

[@chaoticrager1722]

Congratulations H! Yes i have thought about it as well but its so hard when going to the football to watch wolves at home as i usually drink between 6 and 8 pints. My mate already told me ages ago "you're not drinking?! I aint buying you pints of coke all day, costs about same as a lager!" which is very true, but i not blaming him for me still drinking at the football as i could buy me own drinks and he could buy his but lager always wins for footy. Sorry mate. But maybe one day.

[@allantaylor8449]

Well done Harry

[@OrangePopAndBirthdayCake]

Harry mate, Urs Truly havin 54yrs xp can offer this advice:- never kid urself that ul never touch a drop beer agin cos unattainable goals don't ever help, so don't feel crushed wen u inevitably fall off wagon, put it down to life xp an gaining wisdom as u grow up (P. S. I went to Redhill comprehensive in Stourbridge in the 80s wiv ur dad Clint an supported his band PWEI at JBs Dudley😅)

[@JohnSellman-c8b]

Well done mate. I gave up aged 65, - over 5 years ago, and would never go back. You are through the worst now, and apart from the benefits you shared, you've saved a fortune 👍🟡⚫️🟡

[@terence-t1k]

Well done young man

[@_js9696]

Great video, just subscribed. Wolves fan here too. I used to a binge drinker every weekend in my early 20s (i’m 28 now). Whether it be at the Wolves or out clubbing or pub crawls, i’d drink every weekend. Thankfully when Covid hit, I snapped out of that lifestyle. I think that football and alcohol/drugs just brings out the worst in people. Being sober and surrounded by a load of drunk football fans is not a pleasant experience. I’m now a keen fitness enthusiast and very rarely touch alcohol. I’ve only drunk twice this year. All the best, Harry👏🏼

[@verbeek07]

Well done! Keep it up. I just crossed 500 days. It is hard but being more present and setting an example for your kids puts things in better focus. The people that care about you will still do. I have found a lot more people wish to have your conviction to do it but never do. Good on you for sharing your journey.

[@lukebishop5219]

Congrats 50 days is a really impressive milestone 👏

[@colinpryor5875]

Keep going Harry I had a heart problem last year and stopped drinking for health reasons but feel much fitter etc…. I drink 0% now so you don’t miss out completely. You look better mate keep it going 👍

[@benjames7733]

0% Guinness and Thatchers (summer) are game changers. Keep it up 👍🏻 first few months are the hardest.

[@paulsomersetwolf5970]

Fair play Harry and well done and it will do you good in the long run particularly your health as well as your Pocket I lost my Brother to Alcohol at a young age but he was an Alcoholic in the end as he was going through a marriage breakup just a bad time which he took to drink People think we're boring when going out and not being sociable but you don't need to drink to have a good time I gave up smoking after many years which was the best thing I did can't imagine why I enjoyed it crazy habit 50 days is massive keep going mate you have done the hard part Mind you following Wolves can send us all to drink😂 Congratulations keep going 👏 👍

[@HarryMansell]

Sorry to hear about your brother mate. Fair play on quitting smoking as i know that is a huge challenge from seeing others try quitting! Yeah, Wolves don't help at all 😂😂

[@paulsomersetwolf5970]

@HarryMansell thank you!

[@adrianrichards247]

Good for you mate ….. moderation is the key ….and if you can’t ….just leave it ..just shows you are being sensible , interesting to hear your comment about having the young lad around you when you’d had a few drinks ….thats a good enough motive …keep it up.

[@HarryMansell]

Cheers! Yeah was when hungover, final straw that was.

[@jameshollyoak8230]

Well done , mines over 5 years now , hardest part is other people, eg works Xmas parties, you get treated like a freak for not drinking , I lost loads of mates due to not wanting to go out and drink and get pissed , I could never drink again , the thought of it makes me feel sick ,

[@HarryMansell]

5 years is incredible! Hats off. Yeah, that is really tough, I'm out again on the 30th for a comedy gig, will drive again.. If mates don't wana hang out because not drinking, that's fair enough I guess..

[@KitCalder]

Your eyes look a lot brighter mate, best of luck with everything.

[@andrewbrownhil2430]

Keep going mate. Not easy for a wolves fan to give booze 🐺🇬🇧

[@newportwolves1713]

Well done Harry what you have done so far. I don't feel the same about alcohol now than i did before and realised that it dont enjoy drink loads now. Like you i feel i have lost some many weekends feeling rough

[@stevecadby9551]

Bravo Harry, great vid and totally respect your candidness. Good luck with the next 50 and look forward to the next match review, let’s hope we’re enjoying the win 💪

Great effort Harry, but how did you manage that the way the team have been playing? 🤣

[@DLambysAQStick]

Mega proud you

[@narinderbasrai2367]

Well done mate. Do something nice with the family with all the money you have saved by not drinking

[@tommytaylor9164]

I stopped drinking in 2003 stopped enjoying it problem I found was people stop calling because you don't drink and people know you don't enjoy being there all day so be prepared for that long term but you will enjoy other things

[@terry5123]

Well done mate saw a film once the original true grit John Wayne plays a heavy drinker and is told why put the devil in your mouth to steal your brains which does happen I’ve been there 👍

[@waynestewart8740]

I quit alcohol 24 years ago and I've never looked back..

[@WolvesRugeley]

I’ve never met a single person that has ever regretted giving up booze. 👏
