The way I beat drinking alcohol was to say to myself I am one sip away from going back there. One sip of alcohol and I’m done. 26 years on I still haven’t had a sip of alcohol. It will be 27 years this New Year’s Day 2025 without any alcohol. That’s the way I cracked it, give it a try and you will be alcohol free for evermore. Trust me.

[@stevencurry215]

Brilliant message this Thank you .. I will POST it 👍

[@anthonyharty1732]

@@stevencurry215Thanks Steven. In the end after years of drinking alcohol it wasn’t making me happy anymore it was making me ill. My eyes had no colour in them I looked terrible. I knew I had to do something about it. I went on dry spells but always went back to it. I finally didn’t want alcohol anymore and decided on a New Years Eve it would be my last drinking binge. Maybe it’s a bit of luck matched with a very strong mind I cracked it and gave up. Like I said I installed in my brain I’m one sip away from disaster and that’s what did it for me. It worked.

@stevencurry215 thank you. I lost my sister to alcohol 4 years ago. My younger sister. She'd been drinking for decades. I stopped drinking soon after. Although I wasn't a heavy drinker by any means. I drank regularly. Now no drinking since boxing day 4 years ago. I did it as a memory to my sister who couldn't help herself. And to stick a finger up to alcohol as shouting at it was pointless. Your attitude towards your life and fight against alcohol struck a cord with me. Thank you for being there for all who need a voice like yours.

[@gwynethbennellick427]

Steven, for some reason your videos started to come up on my youtube suggestions even before I contemplated doing without alcohol. I'm 75 and have drunk since I was 13. I knew I could manage with no alcohol because I had done so as a way of tackling M.E. when I was in my forties. Pity that I started again, but there you are. My daughter died in 2013 and I upped my consumption then. I was having 50-60 units a week, mostly several large whiskies every night. Then my husband died in May this year. I settled down to a gradual decline not caring about life really. Then I suddenly had a shift of mindset and saw myself, red faced, puffy, overweight and decided that was not the future I wanted. I'm today 14 days in and doing very well. I'm walking every day too and looking forward to Spring. I'll no longer be trapped in the house because I'm too woozy with drink to go.out. I'm free. I'm so grateful, Steve. Thank you with all my heart.🎉

Made no odds when I was in the madness who told me to stop made no odds how many other people died have died through alcohol abuse my priority was were my next drink was coming from ? It was only until Death came knocking on the door and I was sick and tired of being sick and Tired and get help and plenty out there if you look for it . Over the last 16 Years the vast Majority of people I have met have gone back out there but I am still sober just one day at a time and my advice is do not pick up that first drink and keep connected to other recovering alcoholics as not many of us can do this on our own

[@bobjames6622]

When you have been sober for a long time, it's easy to feel like an outsider because of how socially acceptable it is in our society. I'll never forget how awful my last drink was.

[@ForTheSakeOfTheSongs]

@stevencurry215 Thanks I'll try in my case I have comorbidity with depression (and in fact I think it was prior to alcoholism probably one cause) many drinkers have mental issues like adhd, anxiety and so on this is one reason addiction is so complex. People clearly stay too long undiagnosed with this stuff where there's stigma too... After sobering up for me what causes some kind of existential depression (the worst kind) is that I have wasted so much of my life. But I guess it's better to admit it than to deny it and continue drinking like so many do...
