perhaps this is anecdotal but I have seen people lose crazy weight vs. putting on weight. I look like a cancer victim after being completely healthy looking. I don't even look at my self anymore. Thans for the vids.

Sleeping better since stopping. It's ridiculous I used alcohol to knock me out but woke up 3am full of anxiety. Now I sleep so well.

Omg I would do the same thing wake up at 3or2 n full of anxiety n shame

[@rgfreese]

I’m going on 30 days no alcohol. I figured after 40 years of drinking and making numerous poor decisions whilst drinking, some of which I even remember, it was time. It’s been easy so far. I sleep better, feel better, am more productive at work, and I’ve lost 8 pounds already. It’s still early I know, so wish me luck

I drank heavily for years. I absolutely loved beer. I'm over a month sober and I have been working out pretty much everyday with a super strict diet. I have lost 17 pounds already and feel so much better

No drink in 18 days and 4 months since drinking heavily I feel amazing and have worked out more this year than the whole of last year already. Lost five pounds already ❤

I know it’s early but I’m on day 4 with no alcohol. Going to try and take 1 day at a time. I’m 41 and seems like my body can’t take the bad hangovers anymore. Been drinking since 21 pretty heavy. I like this feeling of feeling good every day.

[@hansdegebruiker1968]

I almost drank me to death last year. I came out of a very toxic relationship last year juni the 15th. Due to this relationship I lost my pension money and my life in Holland. I live now in Hungary. I started to drink extremely and every day more and more until I drank 2 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of wodka a day. I had more and more thoughts of wanting to die and being a total worthless human being living in a strange country. Until the 6th of January 2023. There I experienced a severe pain in my chest to my left arm. That day I came home and sat on my couch and started to talk to myself. After a long emotional conversation with myself I never drank anymore and also quit smoking. The next day I started sports daily and since then I already lost 8kg. I started at 114 and want to go to 95kg. Not only my body heals now but also my mind. I'm still alone but not lonely anymore. I still am broke and poor, but not in my mind. I live now for myself and my sport and will walk the earth alone till I die, free of any addiction.

[@dcbarnum]

This is an incredible list. Thank you Leon. For those who have made the decision to quit drinking I highly recommend making your own list. I called my list: “My Random Myths of Drinking 1. Reduces tension 2. Makes me happy 3. I look forward to it 4. Helps me sleep 5. Susan and I enjoy it together 6. I can cut down whenever I want 7. I can live to my fullest potential in life and drink 8. Nobody knows how bad my drinking problem is 9. I’m only hurting myself 10. Is not the most selfish thing you can do

[@LeonSylvester]

Great list David!

[@JeffNixonComedy]

2 days away from a month sober. Wasn’t an every day drinker or anything but it seemed every time I did drink it was silly. Already noticing MAJOR benefits to waking up every day with full energy. Loving it. And popping into this channel on the regular is a big help. Cheers to all (water!)

[@randomadviceguy1780]

Not going to lie... This has been the weakest day of all of 2023... What are the odds you put out one of your longest videos pounding it into my head. Not sure why I got weak it could be because I'm in Vegas... I think I'm going to go get some Blue Bell ice cream and keep listening to your video. Then hit the club tonight and drive us home sober. I going to break this old association with Vegas. We went dancing at club zouk last night and you're right I did feel sorry for people that take no thought that they are ingesting ethanol. Yeah today I woke up and had the urge, mostly out of Vegas habit. Anyway I'm counting this post as my journal entry. It's almost 6:00 p.m. and I will make it to bed tonight without ingesting any drugs or alcohol. I'm only a quarter way through the video and my strength is restored. Going back to finish the video Thank you Leon for saving my life today. A video a day keeps my old addicted brain away. I plan on watching everyday this year.. To be honest I wanted to skip today because of the craving and I knew what this would do. Thank you

[@Summerlove21]

Been just over one full year for me. Best decision I’ve made. Just wish I’d done it sooner. Your videos have been motivating and helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@LeonSylvester]

That's awesome to hear! Let's go 🔥

[@TonyRome402]

You are spot in with all 52 examples. I quit drinking 7 years ago and I consider it a greater achievement than my retirement from the armed forces and the Bachelors degree I earned during a dry period. I cannot imagine wasting another second of my life with booze. Thank you Leon for your inspiring videos; you are a credit to everyone just quitting and people who have been Sober a long time.

[@dcbarnum]

I feel like most people think of quitting drinking as a badge of shame and a failure because you are just one of those weak individuals who can’t hold their liquor or don’t know when to stop. Eventually the term alcoholic was coined and a made up disease was universally (nearly) adopted. Your positive approach is very commendable and obviously worked great for you. Congrats and great post.

[@LeonSylvester]

Glad the videos are helping you 🙏

[@Jake31136]

Got drunk on Thanksgiving. Relasped on kratom day after because of how terrible I felt. Haven't drinken sense, and I'm confident I'll never drink again. Been sober from kratom sense January 15th. Thank you Leon for your videos and helping me totally change my perception of that addictive poison!

What an excellent video , only regret is I didn’t walk away earlier in life. Thanks for all you do!

[@graazioso]

i never get wasted, but i have been drinking literally every single day without a break since i turned 21 in 2020, 3-5 8% drinks every single day and have noticed a MASSIVE decline in my mental health. i always come up with stupid excuses to continue drinking. my lack of energy due to drinking has pushed me to abuse amphetamines as well, seriously furthering the problem. after seeing your videos i am gonna let it all go. i hate living like this. thank you for opening my eyes to see my situation for what it truly is

[@peterjanssen4663]

This brings met to it, I quit today. I finally have the courage

[@Angel-il4er]

I tried dry January and since lent started in February I decided to attempt to increase my non drinking. I now will never drink again. I have to have a full blood count each month due to meds and all my bloods are perfect according to my consultant. She can’t believe the changes. My dog loves me as well because now I can get a good nights sleep and get up at 6.00 so she can go for a walk early in the morning. I have also lost 20lbs in weight without even trying. The changes are just as you say far too many to list. Appart from Having recently seen someone die from cirrhosis I never want to put anyone through that. It will forever haunt me. But the real killer after seeing how alcohol consumed this person’s body was The last words weren’t I love you or anything like that but “I want a drink”!!!!! How can anyone drink after hearing those final words from a loved one.

[@DeanCollins-qt2ht]

Day 13 & second weekend. The positives to numerous to mention. I'm on holiday week after next & thinking of the days out. & Fun I'm going to have with my wife & not what beer & wine I'm going to consume. I'm actually excited about life now & that's not being dramatic. Absolutely spot on Leon

This is always very very good. But as you have said, this is about heavy drinking. Again, I have family who would never say they’re heavy drinkers. But they drink. They maintain a great life they make money they exercise in there happy. So how do you get through to them? Because they would not listen to some thing about heavy drinking. Please help me I need to deal with those people. Thank you.

[@DeportillegalAliens]

The only thing i disagree with is that some people really do like the taste of some alcohol beverages..you may not.like it at first but people start to crave that flavor...thats what i always disagree with alcohol counselers on is they dont understand part of the struggle with quitting is craving that flavor of the drink

Hi leon. Cant stop drinking even if i am sick of it . I am followed by a social worker specialised in addiction. She want me to go in therapy. I fear that i will loose my job.

Alcohol will not help your health issue. Find something that interests you. Think of others. How can you help someone else?

[@ofcv1238]

I find value in not drinking because my good and bad days are always real - not a consequence of drinking. For some it takes a while to improve sleep & outlook. Underlying depression is often linked to drinking so consider addressing this while you build your spirit to tackle other health issues. I wish you all the best.

Didn't enjoy the taste of coffee or dark chocolate at first, pretty sure I do now. My ex was living with me she had issues with grog. I have only drunk once in the last 10 months. When she stole some of my bourbon (I don't drink but I do enjoy buying bourbon) I would open the bottle and sniff it, smells so good. The way I enjoyed smelling it she reckoned I have a problem. Maybe I don't really like the smell or taste, but I am sure I do. You get most the dopamine from buying alcohol. You don't need to drink it. Just noticed average male IQ goes from 108 at 18 to 97 at 34. It should be going up. Alcohol is having a massive impact one would have to assume. Mind you seems to be reversible as from 34 average IQ in males goes from 97 to over 110 by 54, then to over 120 by 65. It's either the grog, or university is making people dumb

I have watched a few of your video's but none of them are for me convinsing. I wish I was not alive. The only reason why I am is that the ption of suicides do not apeal to me. I am alive because if I finished my life - mum could not handle this. She is an eldery person, so once she will go away I will have no reasons to stay alive. I do not envy anyone who is a non-alkoholic. P.S. I do have an interesting job, have decent salary, but other than that and let's agree - this is nothing (nothing worth living for) - I have nothing; no motivation to be here.
