Gave up smoking 15 years or so ago. Took me 5 attempts, cold turkey each time. I have never had another craving since. Now it’s alcohol, have done 30 days, 50 days. Now I’m on day 3 and so committed this time, helps to find this kind of support. Thank you for this great interview/ video. 🙏

I really want to quit drinking. Frankly I just feel exhausted. I just don't know how to get there. Every day I wake up and say I've got to stop, but in the evening I'm on the wine again. I don't know what to do.

That was me too. For a long time. One day you’ll just spontaneously stop. And then youll have vids like these to help and motivate. Im into week four. Yay us.

2 and a half years for me where I've been actively or telling myself I'm trying to quit. The daily loop of feeling miserable and exhausted all the time eventually has to end. I can't keep pounding caffeine to get through the day than alcohol and sleep medicine to come down. I'm 42 and have a 2 year old who I want to be around for as long as I can for. Crazy thing is I quit for 3 months last year, felt amazing and for some dumb reason started up again. I now know for sure I can't moderate my drinking. Today is day 1 again

How wonderful to hear such strength and intelligence from you both you and Clare Simon....thank you for this truly inspiring 'share'. My story so 'mirrors' Clare's story...and I hope to have the fortitude to embrace an alcohol-free life shame-free as well! What incredible 'karma' that you found each other and live on the same street! Just as an 'aside'...I would be very interested in knowing the names of/suggestions for the 'self-honouring' alcohol-free drinks one could bring to social gatherings to not feel 'deprived'...but actually look forward to imbibing! Much grace and thanks for the incredibly beneficial work you constantly offer and produce.

Well done, both of you xx I have been a problem drinker, Forever, I'm 57 now. Didn't drink every day as the hangover was so brutal That even Just the thought would make me feel ill. Anyway, I have noticed the past few years nothing really makes me happy, things That I used to look so forward to. Has this got anything to do with my drinking or have I Just become a miserabile cow?? I'm on day 8 and so determined this time❤️ would out me off for

Hi Sandra, thank you for leaving a comment. I know for me, it was alcohol that caused me to lose the love of the small things. However, I only realised it was alcohol causing this once I had completely removed it from my life and took back control. Please do keep in touch with your progress. I also have a fantastic support network on Facebook. It's a private group completely free of charge - facebook.com/groups/1960061840706240
