Just by you saying to be and feel like a "Happy non-drinker" created a HUGE paradigm shift for me mentally and physically. I am a Happy non- smoker which brings me feelings of gratefulness. This makes it easier and simpler to understand and to conjure up those same feelings for vino. Thank you!!!

[@rangerwhite5165]

Been diagnosed with AF, irregular heartbeat. I train a lot and am physically fit, but would drink up to 5 bottles of wine a week. Have only had a few beers in the last few weeks and feel a lot better. Sleep, mood and skin looking better. Still early days, but I'm completely moderating anything I drink now.

[@LeonSylvester]

Good to hear it

[@littlesemi]

I developed A fib from pretty heavy drinking over 20 some years. I've always trained pretty hard and kept myself in shape. I ended up having an ablation and thought I could go right back to drinking my mistake. I was Afib free for only a short time. What the doctor didn't tell me was there is no cure for A fib you can only try to control it. So I will probably end up getting another ablation and do my best to stop. Problem is I enjoy it so much.

[@rangerwhite5165]

@@littlesemi Is an ablation the electric charge they do? I've been told I need a cardioversion to reset the electrical current in the heart. I'm definitely curbing the drinking. A few beers at the weekend now. Odd glass of wine.

[@littlesemi]

@@rangerwhite5165 An ablation is a surgery where the surgeon threads a wire into your heart and either burns or freezes the miss firing nerves in the heart that caused Afib. It has a pretty good success rate. However you may require a second one. My problem was I thought I was cured so I went back to drinking soon after I didn't know Afib is a lifelong disease the best thing you can do is control it with diet and sometimes medication. So now I'm looking at another ablation. Good luck on your cardioversion!

[@gonnabeayogi1445]

Non alcoholic cold beers are a little tool to help in those moments when I miss the taste. I find just one or two fills a gap and makes it very easy to quit. I’m on week 9 after 40 years of very heavy drinking. I’m sailing through and never want to touch alcohol again. Friends are saying they want to join me after seeing how good life is going now. Good luck everyone.

[@stevenarmstrong3799]

Nearly 9 months drink free now .I though in summer I would of caved in and had drink but I never.what u need is a routine and going gym and walking helps it becomes a new healthy addiction and it's the best mind medicine .I will never drink again

[@LyliJ]

4 months completely clean, love your videos

[@dlvox5222]

Almost all non alcoholic beer has small amounts of alcohol in it. Usually 0.005%. I like Diet Dr. Pepper (1-2 a day) or sparkling water with a tiny splash of sugar free cranberry juice w/lime. It’s good. I’ve learned it’s the carbonation that I like.

[@ponce-87]

I have a couple of drinks once a week to relax. I understand it's not good for my physical health but it's done wonders for my mental health. This guys opinions are intended mainly for alcoholics, social drinking every now and then is fine and you shouldn't be shamed for it. Like everything it's with moderation.

[@nationofisrael12tribes81]

29 days no alcohol 🍻🍷

[@ajlsoundwave]

Great video. I've been alcohol free for 7 years now... the biggest or hardest feeling to fight (early on) was "the fear of missing out"... now I no longer feel that and actually feel the opposite... there is nothing alcohol can give... so I clicked on your video; curious as to what you were going to suggest and was extremely pleased to see your opinion with replacing alcohol with NOTHING. You are spot on!!!

[@dlvox5222]

You should do a video on the Kindling Effect. It is during the process of withdrawal, recovery, and relapse that the kindling effect takes place. Reason enough to stay clean. Each successive process of withdrawal, sobriety, and relapse worsens each step in the process of addiction. Every time a person relapses, they will experience a worsening of withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to quit again.

[@yummyjackalmeat]

Consumption of alcohol is "normal" in that it predates history and humans have almost always drank it. But it was a survival thing. Alcohol perserves food. THE unnatural part now is the ease of getting that alcohol buzz and the amount we are able to get very easily, and the fact that it isn't about preservation anymore, the only purpose now is for the drug effect and not the food safety.

[@themuppet8161]

Telling an alcoholic that alcohol is bad for you doesn't stop them from drinking....😂😂😂😂😂

[@SpettroFamily]

Man, i do agree with everything - but going around clubs with everybody drinking lot of beers, and spirits and you are sober...it's pretty much impossible - you feel like an alien, there is no connection - one month and half now i'm not drinking - this summer i get in very hard, some nights were brutal , after one year i didn't touch a glass - now i'm trying again - it's very hard - i'd like to stop to drink...forever - is that possible ? I don't know - it seems such a great part of the social life - also, if your're a man and you don't drink, seems like you're not masculine enough - plus. when i see one of those pint of beers....damn man - the fact is that one is never enough -2,3,4, then cocktails and then of course cigarettes after cigarettes - and you come back home you're a wreck - the hungover the morning after..is just scary - i'm sure you all know what i'm saying - clubs for " not drinkers " does not exist, they never invented, that could be the only solution

[@Barnzah]

It's the same as a diet really. It's not a replacement short term thing. It's a lifestyle change entirely. Why replace something that is bad for you?

[@tybogr2235]

The thing you said about boundaries and not to hang around people if they don't like is so true I did 30 days before I relapsed. But i feel most of the people I know drink so it's a catch 22 no ??

[@michaelmoyers5970]

Yea alcohol was my whole identity for years and when I quit, I felt empty at first then absolutely amazing and my whole life turned around, I started surrounding myself with ppl moving in the same direction instead of just fun party animals. I woke up next to my girlfriend got in the shower and had the thought if she was a dude, I wouldnt even hang out with this person, 6 months in I didnt even know her last name and a year in I didnt know she had siblings or hadnt met her parents and honestly didnt care, but because she was Miss Virginia I was about to marry somebody I couldnt even stand, sobered up and I was like what tha F am I doing? 😂 Haven't drank since, re wired my moral compass and thanked god for slapping me when he did, only problem now is my wife catches me randomly staring at her like a psycho because I am having premonitions of my shitty alternate life and then randomly saying out loud god I got lucky, I love you which married men will tell you makes her think you did something really bad but im not about to explain to her whats really going through my mind lol so if you cant drink it in moderation F alcohol nothing good comes from it! Scares the hell out of me.

I'm 4 days away from being 7 months sober. I've basically just replaced my alcohol addiction with a sugar addiction. I tried to see how long I could go without sweets. I made it 6 hours before I got unreasonably pissed off and started wanting to drink again. Addiction is fucking brutal

It wasnt normal to go space and we created rockets. We also created alcohol. We just need to have a balance and not overdue things that can harm you.

[@edie4321]

Lol, it is a disease, NOT a lack of self control. The confusing part is the Obiden administration criminalized it so that they can profit from their free labor as they arrest them. Remember crack? The CIA made it extremely addictive and planted it in poor black neighborhoods. Now they've really weaponized drugs, as almost all are experiencing excruciating pain. They should never be taken advantage of for pain, but that is how the beast works.

[@vitkomusic6624]

Best replay for alcohol is apple juice with I've cubes and lemon in it. Or redbull. But with redbull be careful because it will give you a clarity boost and you might crave more alcohol. Why these two? Because they look like brandy and rarely someone's will questions you.

[@The160879]

Jordan Petterson talked about alcohol and hard drugs and explained when you stop them you need to replace it with something as it’s addictive because it does feel good. You’re body and mind are trained to remember that good feeling and the hangover gets forgotten about every time. The routine thing seems to be the key.

[@TOSUnbound]

1:50 strawman (misrepresentation of the situation) which wasn’t necessary to make your point. First off there’s no such thing as normal only averages, second who says people are drinking alcohol to feel “normal” whatever that implies? I agree with your intention, but I don’t understand why we need to strawman to get there. It makes us look bad. I think calling it is a poison is also a tired attempt. Nearly everything we have eat today has non organic chemicals that we would be better off without including caffeine. Just say alcohol isn’t good for you because it’s true.

[@ashchaya7676]

I replaced alcohol with better sleep haha.

[@PTEC]

Flavor. What has the flavor without the damage.

[@ReeInvesting]

SO TRUE!

[@ianhobbs]

You don’t need a replacement for alcohol and you don’t need a reason for not drinking when asked. Nobody would ask an ex smoker or a none smoker why they don’t smoke. I’ve never had an issue with alcohol. I just don’t like it. As a teenager I lived near a famous footballer from Northern Ireland that lost his life due alcohol his mother also died due to alcohol. I like this KZbin there are many great videos on stopping alcohol. You don’t need it and it has no benefits.

[@superdarkenvy]

I think a big problem when you go out is finding something new to drink that you enjoy rather than trying to replace it. Soft drinks are so ridiculously expensive in bars- nearly the same price as alcoholic drinks. There's also only so much tea & coffee you can drink. I've started having soda water & lime. Find it very refreshing & it's super cheap as well so you save a fortune. At home I tend to just have water or cordial. If I'm at a party or something when there's a lot of drinking going on I usually have a pack of alcohol free guiness in the fridge. Probably the best one I've tried, tastes the same as I remember it & is a very enjoyable drink if you just fancy a beer. AF beer is again very expensive though, basically the same as alcoholic beer which I don't really understand either as you'd think there would be less tax on them. I used them more to adjust in my early days of quitting as trying different beers was something I used to enjoy so I kindof made it a new thing to try different AF ones. Though over time I think you naturally just have them less & less mainly due to the price, just as well buying a pack of pepsi max or something.

[@The160879]

I think the alternatives are so expensive as they want you to drink alcohol and keep you on it.

[@superdarkenvy]

@@The160879 it's frustrating there's nothing exciting in bars for non drinkers. Though I guess we ain't great customers as we won't go on a sesh all night & drink 10 pints of coke or something, therefore there's no incentive to look after us.
