The only way to know how it feels to not drink is to stop.

Life without alcohol (and without tobacco) becomes normal, a life without addiction.

I know what is boring, and that’s waking up day after day full of regret and anxiety, full of brain fog and despair.

[@sonminorimitsuu2838]

My life is better, I love waking up fresh, eating good food, hiking, NO MORE HANGOVERS, or hanging out of my ass for days, more money in my pocket, better relationships with my kids, friends, work colleagues. The list goes on :)

[@rickman2267]

Thanks for that comment! Inspiring for me!

[@jakemyhill4985]

I’m currently on Day 113 and couldn’t think of anything I’d like to do less than drink another drop of that poison, and my life has massively improved since then. Your mentoring and advice have honestly changed my life for the better and I can’t thank you enough Kevin, God bless you.

Regarding boredom, there is literally nothing on earth more boring than being around drunk people when you are sober. The same boring old stories over and over again. Suddenly I have realised how boring the endless cycle of drinking was. Im 28 days into sobriety and I can honestly say that I havent been bored for a second. When I am not working I now have energy to cycle, cook, hike and read. Movies and TV are more interesting now, everything seems more interesting when I sober instead of laying on the couch with a crippling hangover, riddled with anxiety.

6 month clean from Drugs/Alcohol next week.. Please listen to this man,followed him for years but stupidly went back to the Drink after periods of sobriety. Which led to drugs.. Give your self a month or 2 and see how you feel,I PROMISE you that you won’t want to go back to that life. ❤️🙏

[@Daryl26543]

Well done on your achievement. I am in the same situation, 7.5 months free of drink and drugs. The funny thing is it was the alcohol that was the main problem, I don’t even think about the drugs until I got drunk and then you make stupid decisions like phoning up your local dealer. My mental health and physical health has improved drastically since giving up, I have lost over 17kg in that time. I intend on staying alcohol and drug free for the foreseeable future, alcohol, it’s one of the most dangerous drugs

[@craigm72]

@@Daryl26543 thanks for your comment mate. I was exactly the same,after 2-3 Budweisers I’d start looking at my phone. Before you know it the guy was outside and I’m jumping out to pick gear up. Without that first beer,I had no deep desire to use..tho it was always on my mind. Keep it up mate,we have got this 🙏💪

[@JimmyJaxJellyStax]

"There's a huge risk that it becomes the sole source of your enjoyment or relief from the mundaneness and challenges of life." So true and it's so common for sure - alcohol being a top goal for many to work towards at the end of the week - often a Thursday or Friday kickoff and into the weekend. Working towards a self-destruction that seems like enjoyment but deep down is arguably relief for them whether they admit or not (probably most won't admit it).

Cancer isn't boring either but that's a kind of 'interesting' I would rather do without! A boring person may think that the world is boring. That's on the person, not the world.

Drinking became the boring thing for me. Predictable and never inspiring or rewarding. Getting less and less bored by the day! Haa..

[@liamwald3027]

Thank you Kevin. Today I am at 30 days alcohol free and you have greatly contributed to my achieving this milestone. You have also given me the knowlege to reframe my beliefs and understanding of the alcohol habit. I am looking forward to and confident that some day I will be able to say that I am a decade free of alcohol with you as an example of what is possible. Best regards!

[@bullamarta]

I’m almost 2 years off the drink. I had a 30 year relationship with it. The last 2 years have been the most exciting years I’ve had in a long time. I’ve lost 20 kgs. I’ve been training Brazilian jujitsu for 10 months and love it! I honestly can’t think of anything more boring that sitting around drinking ethanol. I don’t need to watch these videos but I still do, just hear some common sense. Thanks for your work 👍

[@andyninja949]

1 month away from 2 years sober. What a great topic Kev So truthful I don't know how many people say to me how boring life must be without alcohol. They are the the ones who are bored with life . I felt exactly the same way when I drank nearly 2 years ago. The restrictions are so real . I feel as tho I have been unshackled from chains now . For example I can do whatever I want now wether it be blast along the road at midnight on my Harley Davidson. Life is definitely not boring without alcohol believe me. Onwards and upwards.

[@oscarcuevas7579]

Love your Videos Man. 65 days sober here. I continue watching your videos over and over again. The more I watch them the more I don't ever want to go back to drinking. I'm 49 years old started drinking at 16 regularly. Never thought I would quit. I was afraid of always being bored, or to not be the life of the party. There is so much to do when your sober. No time to be bored... Anyways thank you for making these videos.

[@obinnayoung]

Boredom does not exist. People who are bored are not creative with there life. Since I quit drugs I've found out that I have millions of things to do. Drugs are what make your life boring because you need the drug to be happy.

[@letitiarosenthal2286]

Good morning Kevin. Watching the changing light from the sunrise was mesmerising as you spoke. The more you spoke, the brighter the light got. An illuminating talk! 😀 I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. I used to think one had to drink in order to enjoy life. I'm delighted to find that life is truly better without! True joy in fact!

[@davo5809]

Hey Kevin good work mate I too drank for near on 30 years 50 % of the time I thought I was having fun 50% of the time it was a bloody nightmare lost relationships dui loss of self respect loss of respect from others not too mention the deep depression and anxiety caused by alcohol I am now 2 years sober I have money in my bank account I have travelled to the Philippines twice don't suffer from any anxiety or depression hangovers I have met the love of my life and am enjoying life to the full was it easy no it wasn't the lie that I am missing out on something rears it's ugly head but I quickly remind myself what it was like before lol never again onward and upwards I am 55 and this is only a fraction of my story I am a great believer in the idea that,the definition of insanity is doing the,same thing over and over again and not learning from those mistakes that was aleast 30 years of my life I was,basically insane pouring the poison down my throat day after day it's like hitting your head against a brick wall it's so good when it,stops,😂

[@rickman2267]

Good to read your comment, I hope my next trip to The Philippines will be better , totally sober.

[@davo5809]

@rickman2267 that's good mate 👍 stay strong I hope you make that trip sober and return sober be careful who you mix with in the Philippines they have a different relationship with alcohol it can be very enticing they love karaoke and just a few drinks lol and those of us that can't stop think we can drink the same don't fall for the trap

[@rebeccapeterson7405]

Is the Universe boring? It doesn’t do much and is pretty predictable. Are animals boring? They love to nap in a sunny spot or just sit there watching bugs and stuff. Music and dancing isn’t boring. Tending to young children is boring as hell, but it teaches us that life is not all about our wants, needs and access to instant gratification. Is a monk or “loner” bored? Or are they experiencing something so fulfilling that they’re actually ecstatic? Lots of things to find out if you aren’t habitually going to the liquor store, putting the bottles away, pondering how much money you spent (again), having a drink, and another and another, not sleeping well and doing it again the next day with a hangover to boot. I guess you can live your life as a self-centered glutton. But our poor children…

[@pamelafavel6344]

I have subscribed and watched your channel awhile now . My son challenged myself and i have quit drinking four months now . I couldnt been feeling better if i had not quit .

So glad to watch this video, thank you so very much! I cut my drinks in half in July, and started to feel so much better. Might try a sober October... I have noticed the gradual decline with memory and certain negative thoughts. I had covid in Jan 2023, and I just wonder if still have long covid brain fog that's being exacerbated by alcohol -- obviously not gonna help! Cheers, needed this today 😀

[@stepha3003]

I've been having 1-3 glasses of wine in the evenings, sometimes zero, but the total each week was still double digits. In July I got it to single digits, but started having panic attacks again, so had a glass of wine to calm down one night after a major fallout with a friend. Still gonna try again 🤞

Sounds like you are passionate about this subject, ‘Wake🎉 Up’! These videos are really helping me; and surprise surprise, my husband is joining me and listening to them now!!! What a blessing! Tonight, new month, we agreed to reward ourselves with an overnight at the beach when it end of October. Unbelievable how dependent we are on alcohol, that’s already clear. Thank you Joy

[@kkl4815]

When I first quit, I literally could not think of anything that I liked to do more than drinking. People said find something you like to do more than drinking and do that. Well, I had been drinking for so long, virtually everything I did involved drinking in some fashion. You know.... bike ride, take the cooler, horse ride, take a flask, beach.. well duh... alcohol, hike... yippie beer at the top, kayak alcohol in the kayak, bbq... tons of alcohol, shopping.... liquid lunch... diner out... rounds of alcohol, reading.... alcohol. I think the only time I didn't drink was when I was working , scuba diving or running. Fast forward, I love all things w/o the alcohol, it is so damn nice to not worry about the alcohol. *boating still trips me up but at least I can boat w/o alcohol now and not be a sour puss about it

[@mehDOGIESRATS2222]

Always considered booze just a distraction from reality . Does it kill boredom , not really . If anything it can make it worse at times . I think it depends on your mood when you drink and how much .

[@futureofmoney3527]

Absolutely. Drink dulls the senses. But more than that, it’s an opportunity cost to really open up to life and try new things. I feel so compelled to really live my life to the fullest. I’m ditching my phone as “entertainment”, reading a book instead, in natural places. I’m detoxing from the modern grime that is hyper-reality and constant dopamine hits. And all of that requires sobriety and a willingness to live…differently.

[@opencurtin]

Alcoholics can have what seems like the perfect life, fame. fortune good looks and still not be happy without drinking , it’s all about you being able to sit with yourself without changing your emotional state by taking a drug .. there are people who can sip a few drinks and know their limits! , unfortunately I’d argue they are in the minority..

[@jwcautomotiveservice5861]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Kevin. I watch your videos on a regular basis. I quit for 3 years & thought I could go back to social drinking that I could control. Well that lasted a few years & then I just went right back to destroying my life with it. Sober 6 months now & I love waking up & not having to deal with the BS that alcohol was bringing me. Had a friend say to me the other day he went away with some guys and how hard it was to keep up with their drinking pace as he once used to keep up with them. I said to myself wow he actually believes that he has to keep up! Thanks for sharing all your wisdom!

[@user-om5tx1wq8c]

Three days ago I wrote here about how bummed I was about loosing my wife two years ago and how lonely I felt and how I thought I could go to the bar just to see people.Yesterday and today have been good productive days and I just feel stoked,if I did go for my beers I would feel tired and of done nothing and maybe continued for days,Very positive feelings,stay the course.

I think its more likely people fear they are boring without alcohol. How I feel after 6 months sober is I will never drink again, but I did approach it as I won't drink for a year and re-evaluate. I did have the experience of noticing my feelings that has me want to drink without thinking of alcohol which feels like a significant milestone. Thanks again Kevin!

Dude full respect for your beliefs and your journey. I ask you a respectful question..is Alchohol subject? Meaning, I'm 65 years old, I have a wonderful family, a beautiful home and am absolutely stable and happy in all aspects. Almost every night for most of my life I dink 2- 3 whiskey..Irish only btw ;) Sometimes I will take a month off just to prove to myself I can..I recently had a MRI on my liver etc, all good, bloods all good....Of course Alchohol is absolutely not healthy but imo most people I know who drink have other problems , don't make this only about " having a drink" respect for your msg anyway but it does not apply to all
