“Alcohol Is Worse For You Than You Think” - The Insane Benefits Of Quitting Drinking | Andy Ramage

[@SavedbyGracethrufaith.7]

Sober and finally feel so healthy thank you for this positive powerful 🙏🏽 message

[@bryn3457]

4 months here, can seriously see never going back. My body thanks me every day, I’m sure.

[@timk7073]

Unfortunately, I had to have some pretty bad consequences to help me to quit. I am glad I did, and life is so much better

[@julianparrett9005]

Alcoholic wrecked my whole life .. I’ve given it up now at 70 ! Never too late and never felt better.

[@seriousoldman8997]

I'm 67. The beer sessions are devastating now. Throwing everything at it now.

[@SuperiorMindBodyHealth]

Amazing 🎉 great job!

[@martinaandrew7821]

I have total admiration for you

"Sobriety has given me everything that drugs and alcohol promised me" 💙⭐

[@vrajaram]

Wonderful quote!

[@ydorri2460]

Been a weekend warrior my whole adult life, now at age 46 I'm beginning my journey of sobriety. 19 days so far x

[@SallyNegus]

Such a great, helpful podcast...Love it..Especially when he said I wasn't physically addicted..Me too...I'm 12 days in from a multiple times a week..sometimes daily "habit"...I'm feeling SO much better...slept quite a bit more the first week or so...Don't want to demonize anyone else or say I will never (but that is the plan/goal)....I'm 68 yr old female, in the Holistic Health field and spent most of my 20's and 30's NOT drinking much at all...life stress, financial and relationship issues all contributed the slippery slope...I'm immersing myself in as much of these types of videos..So very helpful...Thank you😇

[@bellydancingstoat]

Thanks so much for this. I was a problem drinker. So glad I don’t drink alcohol anymore

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

Super helpful video, Doug and Andy! Excessive alcohol consumption has many negative health effects, both in the short-term and long-term. Some potential regrets people will have if they don't quit drinking could include worsening physical and mental health, damaged relationships, financial struggles, and missed opportunities. Seeking help early on is vital. The longer you wait before seeking treatment, the more damage is inflicted, not just on yourselves, but on the people around you.👋❤

[@maxsupernova]

I agree. What people don't realize is that the threshold for excessive is much lower than they think.

[@sophienavarro4317]

This was really wonderful & helpful! 5 months sober today! Grateful I have made this decision! ❤

[@paulamoors]

Nice to know I’m not a failure.

[@seriousoldman8997]

Andy's analogy of a hypothetical gym industry is brilliant!

[@clauskah8069]

Almost three years sober. I’m happy

[@larrybradley3809]

Spending time with friends is fun. After a few drinks it wasn’t about fun. It was about trying to escape my anxiety and problems.

[@antykom1]

If you need alcohol to have a fun with the friends, change the friends!

[@bryn3457]

Probably 80% of why people drink. Facing day to day reality is damn hard.

[@antykom1]

@@bryn3457 Brainwashed people are convinced that drinking helps with that, when the truth is totally opposite. It makes it worse. Understanding how it works is the key.

[@stephenwhittle7451]

7 months and feeling great 😊

[@MrBlompod]

I can vouch for more fun sober.. I quit drinking a month ago and went to my first party not drinking and I had a way better time. I was more engaged in conversation the music was better, everything was more intense utterly sober and it was awesome.. it’s own high 😎

[@erwinrogers9470]

Thank you, for sharing, your story👍

[@siobhangenders5342]

This is fantastic so inspiring😊

[@raymondlin8728]

I quit 2 memorial day weekends ago. 1year , 6months. ❤❤

[@miffy2760]

Very encouraging ❤

[@erwinrogers9470]

Great interview👍

[@creativebobbin42]

I think for me, it's not even just the fact that if your life was going well when drinking, that without it will be that much better. It's that I can enjoy every day that little bit more because I'm not tired, I'm not hungry, I want to go to the gym. I don't think I realised how tired it was making me, the difference to sleep quality when not drinking even a little bit is enormous. I used to be frustrated that I couldn't function the same after drinking even one drink in my late forties as I used to after a lot when I was younger, but now I'm glad it's been the tipping point for me to stop. Anyone thinking about it, try it, and I very doubt you'll regret it.

[@paulamoors]

90 days hm starting now.

[@CP-np4rw]

I know a few in college who had car accidents because the driver was drunk. Left life time physical damage. One was drunk and the other wasn’t. They didn’t know each other but I knew them independently from different circles at school. Sad

[@AnnabelleBeaudoin]

I've given up alcohol for over 90 days on a few occasions and I've never noticed any positive benefits you've mentioned.

[@deanleyshon6762]

Why did you give up?

[@AnnabelleBeaudoin]

To save money, to feel more in control of my life, kept hearing about people losing weight and feeling better physically, so I wanted to get back into shape, and feel happier about life, but didn't lose any weight and just felt like I was depriving myself. I've decided to give it up in 2025. I usually only drink Saturday night.

[@AnnabelleBeaudoin]

​@@deanleyshon6762I wish I could feel as happy sober as I do after ive had a few drinks.

[@AnnabelleBeaudoin]

​@@deanleyshon6762Me eating McDonald's is probably causing more harm to me than alcohol. McDonald's is something else I've been struggling to give up in 2025

[@deanleyshon6762]

@@AnnabelleBeaudoin do you have any other bad habits? Sugar? Caffeine etc

Laughing Is Worse for You than You Think--someone should do a podcast/interview on this. "What can gain by giving up laughter--don't waste your time and energy laughing."

[@loridickinson4930]

What helps with withdrawals?

[@PradeepYadav-ji6lh]

6 days

[@humminghawk]

I just got 4 weeks, I’m so happy, but I’m going to try for 2 months. And more if I can.

[@PradeepYadav-ji6lh]

21 days now

[@christinme8375]

Almost a year here’s! Keep up the momentum. It’s hard to get back … this is my 1000th time attempting to get sober and I gave up and dared to get out of Gods way and my Lord gives me the strength to. It’s great not doing everything in my strength. God gives me the supernatural strength to fight through the fleeting thoughts and temptations to drink and my faith has built up so strong that my struggles have been so much easier to overcome. Thank you Jesus . ! He gets all the Glory ❤

[@erwinrogers9470]

Right👍

[@tonygarforth539]

MODERATION IS THE KEY dad used to say best medicine is 2 pints a night he did it for 70 years died 3 years ago aged 98 never ill till last year of is life HE USED TO SAY ITS SUGAR WHAT IS THE POISON RIP dad

[@Rangitatahunter]

I haven’t drunk more than a couple of beers in the last 5-6 years - have not noticed any real difference to be honest…

Tacky to piggyback like that

[@markdoyle6141]

I've had a bottle of wine and it makes me feel 10 times better than sobriety 😊

[@tami2595]

Until the bottle is empty and your body detox's.😢

[@siobhangenders5342]

Well why are you watching this podcast?

[@ydorri2460]

Nobody's forcing you to quit. This type of video is obviously aimed at those that would benefit from quitting. If you wouldn't benefit from quitting, then just carry on?

[@hologramhouse729]

I live in the state (WI🦡) with the once again highest % of excessive drinkers. My town is very toxic!
