John Mayer talks about Sobering up and not Drinking

[@afonsotatiano8239]

John is really good with his words!

[@seansmuts]

Stopped drinking and smoking 20 years ago. Best thing I ever did. My two sons have never seen me drunk and embarrasing.

[@michaelmueller8746]

I have 114 days sober and my new life is much better!

[@choomanji]

It keeps getting better too, stick with it 🙏🏼

[@austinguitarschool1432]

I completely agree with you John after turning 66 drinking was getting so old and boring I got tired of it I just quit one day it's a personal choice to stop and not start again. As for me it just wasn't fun anymore😊

[@julittok]

We could say you drank most of your life though, so not sure it counts as quitting. It's like saying well i'm 76 and I decided to stop being a douchebag and I feel great, it's time to do some good in the world.

[@austinguitarschool1432]

Well to infer that I was a douchebag until I stop drinking you obviously have nothing but hate towards anyone people have the right to drink alcohol just as much as people have the right to stop it's a personal choice I enjoyed it and then I didn't it never made me a douchebag it's quite funny when people call someone else names they're really talking about themselves😃

[@Willd-ki8ix]

Exactly, the good-time numb feeling and all that is long gone. I don't miss it at all

[@dannycossitt52]

I've been sober for about 7 years now I got high everyday for most of my teens and into my late 20s and I just woke up one day and just didn't want to get high or drunk anymore it's been the most freeing feeling in my life I'm no longer dependent of drugs or alcohol I've been able to be successful and get everything in my life together

[@Willd-ki8ix]

My parents own nightclubs I've been professional musician my entire life. I think about 20 years ago I just said I've had enough and I stopped drinking or drugging. I don't regret it at all. People say I didn't have a problem but they're not in me

[@user-wu1gm8xz9u]

People will say you have a problem when you don’t and that you don’t have a problem when you do. It all comes down to what you believe is truly best for yourself despite what everyone else is saying because like you said, they are not in you. Cheers my friend.

[@valerie4912]

I had enough 7 years ago 😊

[@debbieodonnell1010]

As a 48 year old woman, it has been shocking to me how I could offend others simply by stating, "I don't drink," when offered an adult beverage. As if I am calling them out?!? I am not. I am simply stating my preference since I know myself, and I know I do not make good decisions when I am not in my right mind. In the beginning, it felt very alienating and lonely, but eventually, I found healthier friends who love physical activities that keep me honest. I could never climb mountains hungover.

[@americanme3953]

Agreed John, great advice!

[@georgeoothoudt7358]

Every day is a great day to be sober.

[@roselynntorres8557]

Love u John...great words

[@peterjonas4971]

two years sober. Best decision of my life.

[@scottschmittmusic]

Dig it.. You Da Man John... Yep, don't miss it at all

[@asuncionohana5841]

Same. My Gram used to say “I’ve had a gentile sufficiency”😅 I sure have! It feels great to be free! Just a choice we have and a powerful one- thanks John!

[@NicholasPalance]

I had enough around this time, too. 5 years on August 3rd!

[@LONEWOLF..314-S-T-L]

[@LisaHam-kj3sw]

SUPER GREAT!!!

[@ydoicare2000]

Agree!!! That “ you have to hit rock bottom is BS!!!

[@dropclutch1]

The hamster wheel metaphor is on point.

[@wolfsvision940]

Love to have a drink so much fun.

[@underworldwarlock]

We are out here! Wasting so much time hungover gets old! I definitely had enough. Two years almost- no drinks

[@SoberisDope]

Congratulations

[@rustyreckman2892]

That’s enough well said

[@pats.p1594]

Him and Lana are a match

[@matthewberg3328]

Desperate to stop drinking. Just don’t know how to deal with the boredom.

[@SoberisDope]

Matthew, you won't be bored because you will be healthier and stronger. You will have more energy to use your creativity. You can do many things with a new sober life. I used my sobriety to start a podcast, write a book, build an art company, make music, become a bodybuilder, learn how love again. Trust yourself. Getting drunk and partying on the weekends is a toxic spiral and that creates boredom. Check out the podcast and follow me on Instagram @soberisdope. We can talk more there. You are not alone. Choose sobriety.

[@Nicholas-tboc]

Way to go John 👋

[@InSanejane-fq4ke]

I'm only an alcoholic when I go to meetings...

[@reidmcm7334]

Mr. Mayer I’m taking your advice tonight… thanks

[@shawnchaudry2126]

How do you help someone else who gets defensive when you try to help (and might not think they have a problem)?

[@SoberisDope]

Try to talk to them while they are Sober. Be calm and ask them if you can express yourself. Here is a link with over 10 tips that can help. Good luck. www.soberisdope.com/supporting-loved-ones-through-addiction-20-practical-tips-for-families-and-friends-with-healing-power-prayer-from-pop-buchanan/

[@alexanderson1193]

[@xaviergarciaGuitar]

How talks this man😮😮

[@AddieKay-cr3wc]

john mayer is ex. of a prson who wants to get sober and who an drinker

[@El_Arco_Grande_713]

Day 1

[@jebusgod]

so basically he still smokes weed....LA sober

[@tylerd1297]

10 yrs ago he also said he stopped and had no interest in it anymore

[@joemanco1075]

I bet being rich and famous helps

[@SoberisDope]

It's unfortunately does not help. It makes it worst. It created extreme isolation which is not good for recovery.

[@drewmantia]

More financial resources to spend on drugs and more pressure on your life. Yeah, time has proven that helps

[@kane6529]

Your disconnection with reality is astonishing, he has a lot of privileges but a good environment for being sober he definitely does not 😂 what about being at parties constantly and on tour would be beneficial for not drinking?

[@torduc22]

I’m not rich and famous but I’ve been sober for 502 days - not sure what your point is?

[@kgisabeast]

Probably makes it harder tbh, they have unlimited resources and access and probably always getting invited to party’s to do it

[@lol-wg6gu]

Never liked drinking it's called choice ultimately

[@davidjaylaw1920]

enough of the subliminal rainbows.. puppet
