Read allen carrs book about not drinking. Makes u think in a different way about it

[@harmoniefaerielove]

This will be my 12th sober xmas,I didn't need an excuse to drink, but could easily give you hundreds of my old ones. I give time to help feed the homeless every year now,A hot meal ,a warm mug of tea & a friendly hug means the world to them. It also reminds me, that I am doing okay in my life.. Keep on walking your walk in life,your doing grand ..❤🙏

Boozing is the biggest thief of family time and of life in general. I quit ten years ago and would never want that in my life again, even as a social drinker.

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

You're right Billy

[@imadrunk3576]

It's good your doing these videos. I'm terribly in the addiction of alcohol I'm drunk all the time. Lost everything in my life because of alcohol. Keep posting these videos because supporting someone helps me

[@imadrunk3576]

@Dottiedolly52 interesting techniques. I can't be dry today as I'm already drunk

[@LisaJayneRadford]

@imadrunk3576 I wish you all the luck in the world if you do want to stop drinking, it's bloody hard !!! Been a drinker as long as I can remember (57 now) my parents were alcoholics which for me didn't make it easy but after horrific blood results it was stop or I was going to die and I couldn't do that to my precious children, grandchildren and husband that's all the family I have and the same for them. I do hope you have family who can help you .I'm not a religious person but I pray you find happiness and not in the bottom of a glass ..Good luck xxx

[@loopylyn6548]

You must remember that you dont need a drink to enjoy yourself at Christmas or anytime really!! Family is important to you and that is all you need!! You are doing incredibly well.... You can do it... well you are !! 😉xx

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

You're so right Lynn, booze has been such a big part of my life, adjusting is tough for me. Will crack it in time. Thanks kindly ☺️ all the best.

[@Danfrank24]

One of the hardest things about not drinking is being around people who have had a drink I find they can be quite annoying and I include myself in that as i do enjoy a tipple.

[@arthurvasey]

Some Christmas food has wine and brandy and rum in it - the cooking process usually eliminates any intoxicating effect, so you can eat as much as your stomach will let you without getting Brahms & Liszt - might get a bit windy - but eliminate anything from your diet that makes you windy, you can’t eat or drink anything at all!

[@jennymostert4030]

What an incredible gift you will be giving your wife and children this Christmas.....a husband and Dad who is there!!....present and correct!! 😊🎉.... it's going to be epic.....stay strong, know that we're here, feeling so proud of you! 😊🏆

Thank you, I will

[@GavDuggan1983]

Well done mate. You did the right thing making it public and holding yourself accountable. You’re absolutely right about your kids too and it’s a credit to you as a father that you’ve made this decision and kept to it. Keep strong

[@harleymac6308]

We love & support you Gareth. Please don't think you're being deprived or having a less fun time without alcohol. You're on a pathway to better health for you & your family. Better times are ahead. You don't need alcohol to have fun. I've seen firsthand how it can destroy lives. You've come this far. Don't look back. Look to the future with happier, healthy times with your wonderful family. You're always in our thoughts. Stay strong 🙏👍

[@robtok1968]

You got this Gareth. Every Christmas I sit at my table, thank God I'm here and sober for another 25th of December and a little prayer for all on their own journeys, and a thought for those who are struggling as well as those who are absent from their tables this year because of alcohol or narcotic addiction. You're about to give your family the best Christmas present ever. So proud pal 🫶👏👍

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Thanks Rob

[@karenclancey2557]

Your doing so well , keep on doing what your doing ! It’s working 🤩🙏🏼❤️

[@sue-boo]

If it helps you stay off the booze, you post about it as much as you want to. You are encouraging others as well as yourself! ❤

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

So true!

[@fayesouthall6604]

Damn right

[@tubbyrobbo5441]

I agree with this completely! Post as often as you feel with this topic, it will be helping those who need that little bit of encouragement to keep going 👌 The only reason people may complain about this type of video is because it holds up a mirror to their own behaviour. I've not had any alcohol since January 1st, and there's still people who frown and look at me weird when they hear I've still not picked up an alcoholic beverage! Keep up the brilliant work 👏👏

[@judithmatthews8460]

I gave up alcohol for about 9 months, because I was asking a family member to give up and said it was easy. I rarely drink, so no problem right? Wrong!!! It was dreadful. Every event you go to people tend to try and force drink on you and especially if they have been drinking it can be quite rude. I went to a Christmas event with my book club. A bloody book club!! One guy called me every name under the sun, because I wouldn’t drink the wine he kept pushing at me. I wouldn’t explain why I’d given up because why should anyone. I just said I’m not drinking alcohol I’ve given up. In the end I walked out. Nobody defended me. Next day I got lots of calls saying how wrong he’d been but by then it was too late. What if that had been you Gareth? He could have wrecked your progress. So long story but just congratulations on your progress. Stay strong anyone out there. It’s about you not them. (Never returned to the book club!!)

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Well done

[@SulfuronBGS]

Blimey you would think the more intellectual types that you'd maybe consider go to book clubs would be a bit more sensitive / understanding! Good for you for standing your ground and walking away from it.

[@DAVIDRUBY-f7u]

Being accountable..that’s the thing. I’m doing a regime which makes me accountable so you’re an inspiration mr g

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Good luck David 👍

[@johnwatson5235]

I always work on new years day and theres nothing better getting up at 6 all fresh knowing most people will be ill all day because of the booze. Christmas isn't about drinking anyway Gareth its about being with your family. Well done on 5 months 👏 keep going mate.❤

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Yes it's going to be different this year. Well done pal.

[@uweinhamburg]

I'm drinking too much alcohol and over the last 5 years or so i have introduced a sober end of the year during December and January. Only if you do it you recognize how much booze is a normal part of everyday living. I have decided that once i cannot stay away for these 2 months i will completely go sober. Big congrats to you for your success and i love your attitude towards your children 👍

[@martinjb55]

Well done, Gareth. You're doing great. Remember Christmas is a day of celebration, and this year, you'll have even more to celebrate.👍

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Thanks Martin 👍

[@scottycat6822]

Gareth this will be the best Christmas gift you’ve given yourself by staying sober and enjoying every moment with your family. I heard from a friend today her hubby has the onset of dementia due to his alcoholism I would not wish this horrible disease on anyone.

[@radio1933]

Congratulations Gaz! I am with you all the way! When my husband gave up smoking he bought a keyboard with the money and learnt to play it! Treat yourself and the family to something special.

[@typhoontim125]

@4:02...We hear ya! ..What it means to you...and why. Well done!! You will enjoy this Christmas with your family like never before ...be so proud of the change you have made this year! 👍🙏👏

[@veronica1921]

Well done, Gareth! Watching this from Oregon and more than happy to donate to Movember. You're doing a great job and you should be proud of yourself.

[@kathywolfe6606]

I tried to donate from Alabama, and it said my address wasn't valid. Please tell me how you did yours. Thanks!

[@LuvBritTV]

Congratulations! It takes great strength of character, and I honestly can't think of anyone in my family that did what you're doing. I believe this is going to be your best Christmas season EVER! Enjoy! 🎄🎁

[@typhoontim125]

You will enjoy Christmas so much more! You are an inspiration.🎉🎄👍👏🙏

[@TimelordUK]

You mentioned you are doing this for your kids. Well done you. Im 56 and my dad has been dead about 14 years now. My dad was a functioning alcoholic. He worked, but was in the pub every night,me and my brother never saw him. When we did see him he was drunk and always in a bad mood. I avoided him at all times because he was quite violent and had a very short fuse. I had no relationship with my dad because of his drinking. Christmas was always bad in our house. Me and my brother would get up early as kids do to open our presents. Mum would hear us and cone and watch us open everything. Dad wouldn't. He'd be hung over in bed from the night before. We knew he didn't even know what our presents were because mum would have sorted all that. He never ever got up to watch us open our presents. When he did get up on Christmas day morning, he'd go straight to the pub for the afternoon. We'd set the table and mum would have everything ready, but dad would still be in the pub, so she'd phone the pub and tell them to tell him to come home cos me, my brother and my mum were waiting to eat. This would ENRAGE him and i remember him coming home drunk in such a foul mood. We all ate in silence, dad would never let us talk at the table, and i don't remember who did it but words were said and either dad or mum then threw a plate of their food at the wall. Me and my brother terrified sitting in forced silence. Merry Christmas. That is an example of how some kids can experience Christmas with a drunk parent. Awful I absolutely applaud you Gareth for thinking about your kids and making a change. You are a decent man.

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Oh I'm so sorry mate. It must of been horrible. Thank you pal for your kind words at the end 👍

[@Koutsimouka]

@@TimelordUK why did your mum bother to ring him and get him to come home knowing how he would act? My dad is very similar but we were aloud to talk atleast! You all should have enjoyed the peace and had a merry time before the idiot got home

[@TimelordUK]

@Koutsimouka we did! I was always more relaxed when he wasn't there, but mum knew it would have caused even more trouble if we'd started our Christmas meal without him

[@chrisSmith-fo8xf]

Congratulations on 5months without drink you doing ever so well keep it up you got this

[@DaleBaker-e3u]

Keep going Gaz, with you every inch of the way mate. Your a great man, and give us, so much Joy.

[@openorwap5412]

You're doing so well! I can't believe 5 months have passed! Christmas will definitely be different for you this year, but you may surprise yourself and not miss the boozey form of celebrations as much as you anticipated. Plus, with fresh eyes, you may experience a special edge to Christmas that you missed when you were drinking, and that will give you something to look forward to in future festive seasons instead of the anxiety that you could be 'missing out' on something because you won't be drinking. Good luck to you!

[@danmyers7827]

It's 5 months (and counting) of being *fully* there as a husband and father. That's a great achievement.🥰

[@ChrisyC567]

You must be feeling great Gal, Well done fella... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@stevenwhitaker-jones5687]

Hey Gareth, I am now just over 600 days sober. I had my first sober Christmas last year and I have to say that it was the most difficult test and to be honest infuriating thing I have every experienced. Suffice to say that I am not looking forward to my second one. Although getting through the year is fine, Christmas is a whole new ball game because it is ALL ABOUT BOOZING! You will be bombarded from every angle and every time you use a device, watch anything on TV or even listen to the radio. I was screaming at one point and banging my head against the wall. You cannot escape it unless you abstain from all media and lock yourself in the house. Good luck, you will need it!

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Well done mate

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Feel great 👍

[@strumbolli]

Hiya mate, We love watching you review bang average Frozen Foods. We've even bought some of it after watching. Addiction is tough, I know from experience. The hardest bit for me was not day to day, but looking forward and knowing you're not going to be able to do what you loved doing ever again. Ignore the voice in your head and walk away from it and keep busy is the best way. Stay in the present moment if you can... All the best, mate

[@lind.]

Well done on 5 months off the sauce, keep going. You'll have a great Christmas without alcohol and you'll enjoy the day with your children and wife. Just tell people who you invite over the festive period that the house is alcohol free and don't have it in the house or get the alcohol free versions if you really must. You're a great role model Gaz. ❤

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Thank you, all the best 👍

Mate, I gave up drinking about the same time as you did. After 30 years, too many injuries, so many jobs I’ve been fired from. My advice is just be around people who can support you. It’ll be hard for me as I don’t have a wife or girlfriend or family and Xmas and New Years Eve will be hard, but be strong pal. You can do this! All the best mate, love you’re videos

[@Baldfoodieguylifestyle]

Christmas day will mark one year since I last had a drink. I don't even want a drink now, feel it as a pointless reset now and I know I wouldn't enjoy it. Mine was just a gradual falling out of love with drinking, until I just got totally fed up with it. Great place to be in your early 40s. Definetley haven't missed hangovers.

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Absolutely brilliant Gareth, it's a real milestone 👍👍👏👏😊. Obviously at such occasions as Christmas, family gatherings it adds to the pressure. However, with the family they should back you up and not try and force a " go on just the one" The main challenge is the friendly get together, peer pressure. But believe me my friend, your set firm on your new course, new lifestyle. I'm/we are so proud of you and the other folks you have inspired to make this journey.

You're doing great Gareth. For 5 months now you've proved you're stronger than the booze ! Never forget that your kids need the memories you create for them. How do you want them to remember their Dad ? All you have to do is refuse ONE drink...The next one ! Yes, sure it hard at Christmas time when a lot of peoples idea of "A good time" is to get drunk. The same with New Years Eve and lots of other celebrations and events during your life. Just keep as strong as you are and turn down that one next drink. Trade it in for happy memories with your family. All my best wishes 😘

[@neilmusgrove4668]

Your doing great mate, keep it up. Its not easy but will get a bit easier over time, Christmas and times of celebration are hard but so are times of low mood or boredom!

Congratulations on 5 months sober, well done! Keep going, just take it one day at a time. If you get tempted to drink at Christmas, pray about it. Think how dissapointed you would be in yourself if you ruin 5+ months of sobriety. I know how hard it is, I've got over 24 years of sobriety now, and my life is much better. Good luck. JT
