Repsnosilbe Dirnkering - Big Alcohol Thinks You're A Fool

[@buffalobillc5639]

Kevin, you're saving lives. I drank daily from age 14 until January of this year- over 5 decades. Most of the time, I kept it "moderated", thinking I was in control. But over the years, I began noticing bad health effects. Since quitting, I am experiencing many of the benefits you've mentioned. Your almost daily videos are inspirational; they help keep me off this poison that I used to think of as normal.

[@paulwiegerinck528]

Five decades for me also,after retirement it ramped up on a more daily bases,certainly beating up the health,motivation,attitude,happiness.joint swelling,sleep,everything.

[@buffalobillc5639]

Yes, I sleep much better now than I have in many, many years. No more joint stiffness and especially more motivation and less anxiety. @@paulwiegerinck528

[@the1LASharp]

Same general story for me. Today is Day 30! First time I’ve gone this long since I started daily drinking about 10 years ago. Feeling very contented and strong. Onwards!

[@aaronhowardjudd]

Keep it going guys.. I’ve been watching Kevin for 7 years and I can categorically say that watching Kevin’s videos has saved my life. Sober for 6. 1/2 years.

[@letitiarosenthal2286]

Love the title and great video. I can't remember a single time I was able to be responsible with alcohol! Except for the last year and a half, when it has stayed out of my mouth!

[@lidi5805]

Thank you for this video. I am a mother and my first reason to change was that, I wanted to be a good example for my kids. They are teens (13 and 16 y.o) and I don’t want them to think that drinking alcohol is fun. Day 2. for me ☺️

[@lovegrows7814]

Same here!! My children are 16,15, and 13! Day 11 for me. We got this 🙌

[@HabitsV2]

Unplugging yourself from the alcohol habit is the best gift you can give yourself and your two teenagers. My son was 21 when I stopped. It's never too late to give them a great role model :)

[@beefandchicken]

Mom of a 4 and a 1 year here. Breaking the chain of modeling unhealthy behaviors. Day 22. 👍❤️

[@lidi5805]

Thanks for the kind answers. I think we all made one of our best decision in our life. Thank you Kevin, and mother fellows for your support. ❤️ (Sorry about my english, I am hungarian and live in Germany)

[@kohtime]

@@lidi5805please stick to it! I did the very same thing after finding this channel! 4 ish maybe 5 years later ( I forget as it’s relevance has been lost) life has completely changed for the better! Keep it up, it builds a sense of pride and achievement that will power your future x all the best

[@SpicyTexan64]

Almost 3 years sober after varying levels of drinking for 40 years, the last 5 of which was every single day. Life is so much better. Thanks.

[@Liesl_Cigarboxguitar]

Well said my friend!, both my parents taught me ' how to use drugs and drink alcohol ' enough said ...

[@aidenoleary7406]

Just a tip for anyone willing to try. I was a smoker for a big part of my life and I did the Allen Carr easyway seminar 2 years ago and haven't smoked since. A month ago I bit the bullet and read his book Easyway to control alcohol. I haven't had a drink since and I don't even think about it. It may not work for everyone but everything is worth a try if it can help you get out of this trap.

[@JonJones-x5f]

I tried drinking responsibly over the weekend.... It resulted in getting black out drunk, burning my hand on a hot chimney (2nd time in 2 months) woke up anxious and depressed. Day 1 of sobriety completed and I'm getting on naltrexone this week. Thanks for the video Kevin.

[@These-nutz]

Hot chimney? How did you do that! Lol I’m curious

[@paulwiegerinck528]

I’m pushing 68 and trying to adjust my attitudes and create new habits to take me away from drinking ( hand sanitizer).. The few photos our family have of Opa show him standing in a position that my father myself and my brother present to this day,I’m sure if I could meet him I would see remarkable similarities a hundred years later,I have adopted the same attitudes passed down.Our culture has us trained,my friends can not understand why I refused a drink at lunch yesterday..We are a product of our environment,unfortunately malleable and gullible.Thanks again for the video Kevin.

[@HabitsV2]

The culture is made up of it's individuals. All we can do is change the culture one person at a time. Your Opa would be proud!

[@JonJones-x5f]

Hand sanitizer is toxic also. Good luck freind, I'm on day 2of sobriety after a another big silly weekend

[@joshgreer3527]

I've seen people drink some crazy stuff in rehab seen a guy drink a whole bottle of hand sanitizer before they got it away from him I really don't know how I cant stop drinking I've never done anything like that I knew a guy who drank brut after shave and mouth wash it was crazy and I somehow can't stop drinking just came back from the doctor got a stomach infection again was wondering why my stomach hurt so much last one almost killed me colitis was so bad I went septic I hate feeling like I could die at any time no wonder I can't stop drinking for more than a month the depression and anxiety from being scared I might die in my sleep is never ending my grandmother had an aneurism when I was a kid they didn't find her for 3 days she was a good woman no one was there for her I wish she was still alive both my grandparents came home and died I miss them every day

[@gregschlatter6766]

Thank you for your dedication to helping others. I hope it is as rewarding for you as it is helpful to myself, and surely many others.

[@MargeC-o3z]

Responsible and drinking should not be in the same sentence. Nothing responsible about pouring poison into our bodies.

[@joko09010]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. They have become an important part of my sobriety journey. 💙

[@HabitsV2]

You are so welcome!

[@combatjones4832]

video quality better than ever. and great message of course

[@Ken-ol2kx]

He's right, with me it used to be once a week than twice and now it's progressed to every night. Very sneaky drug that just creeps up on you. Great videos and very sobering. No pun intended.

[@futureofmoney3527]

This is where Big Gambling says stop gambling when the gambling stops being fun. Too late. Way too late, and they know it. Disingenuous.

[@overlnder9793]

Kevin I credit you with being Sober 23 months. I relapsed Jan. 1 of this year. It was hell . Almost killed me. Went to Rehab in Feb and Mar. for 28 days. The program was 12 step. Didn’t make it past the liquor store on the way out of the door. Not their fault. I wasn’t ready to be sober. I am now though. I went to 45 Days of Treatment non 12 step that was exclusively made for Fire Fighters. I have 46 days. Ill be incorporating your program into my recovery along with AA and SMART Recovery. You are saving lives and have a true gift .

[@HabitsV2]

Great to hear that. Well done to you for getting back on it. You have to do the hard work. I'm very happy I can play a small part in your journey 😀

[@ssnabell]

Are big alcohol marketers behind wine mom culture too?

They certainly play a huge role in it.

It's much easier to go from drink three to drink four than it is to go from zero drinks to one drink.

I was an alcoholic and il never drink again. Lesson learned

[@sounddesignerinc.1770]

great work,...thank you

[@mikem3695]

The minute the booze goes in your ability to function responsibly is diminished and decreases the more you consume. "Drink responsibly" is like saying "speed slowly" or "scream quietly". It really bothers me how BA are allowed to use public platforms to keep lieing about their products when tobacco advertising is mostly banned, especially when marketed around athletics and naming sports stadiums. Such a devious way to target the young. Hell there's a MLB team named "Brewers".

[@frostfox1208]

[@joshgreer3527]

The town i live in had alot of rehabs but covid shut down a few of them not many meetings around either or at night when I work even tried zoom meetings some were hard to get through still talk to my house manager from rehab pretty much only person I see anymore sometimes I wish I had been a drug addict its not on every corner just jumping out at you but had to many friends die on drugs my uncle drank himself to death and one died from drugs I wonder how i would have grown up if i had stayed living with my grandparents they didn't drink or do drugs well the drank some eggnog every now and then but everyone else in my family did drug and drink i would have probably grown up way better if my grandparents lived longer after they died the whole family went down hill i wish when I was a kid I had better roll models

[@steph7960]

At least you have the self awareness to realise how unhealthy it is. Be the first in your family to live a sober life. Best of luck.

[@domenic4368]

I started drinking whiskey at 62-years old (four-years ago) after retiring to help me sleep. I quit for 6-weeks 4-times a year to try to prove I'm not an alcoholic. I started because my wife has health issues and her long-term survival in very much in question. I know it's bad for my health, but it keeps me from putting a bullet in my head. I'll quit soon after my wife passes and move to the ranch in the middle of nowhere Idaho and let life take its toll.

[@fatherburning358]

Thank you brother. Responsibility as a parent. Yes sir. This very word and all it means is my main motivation. Having co morbidity of chronic physical pain is challenging me at the moment. Booked in to gp today and tomorrow also for bloodwork results and mental health plan so i can see a trauma psychologist. At least in the midst of this challenge i have a clear mind and do not feel like a victim. Kevin, could you please share your thoughts on the subject of success? Onwards and upwards brother! 👍

[@HabitsV2]

Success in what sense? There's a lot of definitions out there. It's something I cover a lot in the program, for instance, but it's from the perspective of many different areas.... A very broad topic :)

[@fatherburning358]

Thanks. Yes yes of course. It's the feeling you've succeeded, no matter how trivial to others it may seem. My apologies I haven't gone back to your older videos, which would be sensible to do before asking questions with as you say a broad meaning. I've received great news today regarding my present liver and kidney function. My GP said I should be proud of myself, I replied that I was. That felt like I had succeeded, the recovery of good liver function. I did not have a big head about it though as I have when I was a drinker. It's a strange sensation being deeply satisfied with one's decisions and positive consequences. I'm bewildered, I didn't know life could be so calm when you take away the 'medicine' poison, I truly didn't. Anyway, I feel silly for speaking of my naivety. Appreciate your response. Onwards and upwards. Better start my research of your older content kind sir 🤦👍😁

[@steph7960]

​@@fatherburning358fantastic news on the liver test results. That is a Huge success and can I say I'm proud of you. I got a liver test couple weeks ago and it was high enzymes. Also said I had some thickening of heart wall which she says isn't life threatening. However, if I can get to where you are,c4 days sober so far. I will call that a massive success. Much love and best wishes for BOTH our sober futures.🤗

Amazes me about the hand sanitizer addiction that has become such a thing. The skin slurps up everything you rub into it. Who knows whats in that stuff. Just bizzarro!! Or shall i say zbizarbo.😜 Update on my journey is im now having days where beer doesnt even come to mind!! The reflex part of the habit is vanishing! Very interesting layer of the onion. Feeling great with it all and soooo thankful ive made the decision!!

[@jujumulligan43]

I personally believe that the slogan of "Drinking Responsibly"(brought to you by Big Alcohol) is dangerous. I think it tells drivers especially that one or two drinks are okay. It also conveys a message that alcohol is safe if you know how to use it. Science has proven that no amount is safe for your body ...so the message is very irresponsible!!

[@HabitsV2]

Of course. That's the irony of it. BA know that once they have you at one drink, you're more likely to have two. Once you have two you're more likely to have three... then it's a race to the bottom. They don't give a flying fk about your responsibility, your health, or how many people in your family are in misery. They only care about one thing: the contents of your wallet.

[@jujumulligan43]

Amen to that!

The amount of alcohol in fragrances that could potentially be absorbed through your skin is extremely small, and the liver wouldn't process it in the same way it does with ingested alcohol.
