I've started repeating the mantra,Stop the flow,do the work every morning first thing out of bed. Seems to keep me focused. Thank you Kevin.

[@bobmitchell9290]

This is the clearest, most sensible approach to a healthy life! Best to you, sir.

[@HabitsV2]

That's the simplest thing you can do to reprogram you're brain. Glad it's helping James.

For me i think the line was crossed when i sat down and really meditated on one drink, how it made me feel ect. All i wanted was more alcohol and i got no joy from the experience. Happy to leave it behind

[@Nickelodeon81]

With a clear head, looking back, the line for me was crossed when I drank to feel normal, not necessarily just for the buzz which took far more drink to obtain.

[@kevins2875]

One of your best videos to date. One of the most harmful things drinkers do is comparing themselves to worse drinkers. Every drinker I know has someone they point to as being more of a drunk than them.

[@James-kn3kf]

Everybody needs somebody to look down on.

I was an alcoholic for many years. Before I became one , the world was my oyster. while I was one, the world was my enemy. Now that I AM NO LONGER ONE, my brain is clean my mind is clear, my thoughts are sound. From past folly , one can become wise, shrewd even! When it comes to alcohol , the word NO!!! HOLDS SUCH POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@baldersn4474]

You werent ever an 'alchcholic' , no one is..Its an outdated term not used in science ..

[@mauimedows]

“I didn’t have to be an alcoholic to stop drinking “ !!! Perfect statement for me . I stopped drinking socially and having alcohol at home to have with guests . Alcohol always made me feel unwell after just a couple of drinks but I got in a relationship with a man who would push alcohol on me when we went out . If I ordered food and didn’t order a drink he would get upset. Like I wasn’t being a good sport and made him look weak somehow. Anyways , long story short I broke up with him because he was a “functional alcoholic “ and verbal abuse started happening, etc . I’m also a carb addict and have refractory epilepsy therefore drinking for me isn’t good at all . But I follow your videos because it helps me a lot and the landscapes on your walks are stunning. Thank you so much for your videos ❤

I’m not going back!

[@jaydee2719]

If you can't control your drinking and need it at any excuse then in my book that makes you an Alchoholic irrespective of how much in a given session. It's hard to quit for a reason. I'm only on day 14, and had a few wobblies already.

[@huwstephens1636]

good luck mate,16 days for me,one day at a time

[@MJA5]

The “stepping across the line” analogy is a good one. I think it’s the nature of it. A slow incremental advance that ends up in a bad place. We’re all habitual line-steppers, aren’t we? It’s amazing how far from your ideals the line stepping will take you.

[@HabitsV2]

Gateway lines.

Spot on. My brother is an alcoholic and ended up in prison for getting so many DUIs (5). He got out and all he talked about was how he was waiting until he didn’t have to blow in his machine 3 times a day so he could have a beer or two after working all day because he had “earned it” and having a couple beers in the evening is OK since he wouldn’t be drunk. He and i became close for the next few years while he didn’t drink. Unfortunately he was still blaming everyone for his drinking and how everything screwed him over including our mother who passed away while he was jailed. He inherited quite a bit of money from her but ihe continued to talk poorly of her until finally I snapped and said I don’t want to hear that anymore. They changed his probation now he only has to blow to drive. I used to talk to him regularly before that change. Now we haven’t spoken in several months as I’m sure he is back to moving the yardstick on what is actually alcoholic behavior. I’m guessing eventually he will be back in jail. He was so far gone and would drink a bottle of vodka by 2 pm and pass out the rest of the day and couldn’t even get up and would piss himself. It was awful. I hated him like that and yet he still doesn’t see how lucky he was to not have killed anyone while driving and also that he managed to live doing that for a couple years. Anyway, this video made me think of him. I liked listening.

[@infoManiac-rf5db]

I knew someone with an eerily similar story. The alcohol is like a demon for some people. I'll never understand myself why it takes hold on certain people. I do miss the person he was before he got to that extreme level. He was very loving and very loved. I had to accept that person had died, although he still lived in just a shadow of his former self. Broke my heart. 🫶

[@flo7154]

Thank you Kevin...(and Es) Love Lu.x

[@gregrarata1042]

That was again a good one, thanks Kevin! I also have had a lot of such bad experience with labeling myself as an alcoholic. I do not find it useful anymore, especially I have noting in common with that substance anymore! Btw., it's quite funny when some people recon alcohol as a product that can be consumable, whereas in reality it is very toxic substance, good enough for diluting some chemicals or cleaning the windows...! But for sure not to be drunk by the humans...

[@DadBodFitness01]

Thanks for the Chanel. ❤❤

[@bradpanter6559]

I haven’t drank alcohol in several years and I’ll never drink again, for the rest of my life. But I still really enjoy watching these videos. Two of my coworkers are trying to quit, so I’ve directed to your videos. Thank you!

[@jonvia]

Loving these beautiful mountain views!!!! I grew up in the early 2000s in the US and looking back, the drinking commercials and drinking on TV shows and movies were endless!!! I can pinpoint the trashy MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" for the first time I said to myself "Wow drinking looks so fun." ... ever since then, I related drinking with fun. Whats crazy is I never really liked booze. Im from the midwest and Im a musician, so a lot of my friends and bandmates over the years were really heavy drinkers which led to me drinking a good bit too. I tend to black out easy on liquor and I get migraines a lot when I drink. Lately, I dont get the same thrills out of drinking and at age 31, its time for a change. Id rather have that awkward "You dont drink???" every once in a while instead of hearing "Hope your cancer surgery goes well on Monday." .... its not a shock that a lot of ailments come from drinking alcohol but the Andrew Huberman video on alcohol really opened my eyes to the damage I was doing to myself, even when just cracking a few beers or having a glass or two of wine. Its not worth it at all and its obvious to see why big business wants u to drink. Think about all the money the HealthScare industry makes off of people that consistently drink.

[@bobmitchell9290]

Thank you Kevin.

[@HabitsV2]

You're welcome.

[@goforitrazz]

Astounded by the endless excuses some people use to try convince me to have a drink,maybe I open up to much,but no is no, any amount of reasoning about time,money health,or other consequences is wasted breath.I might be asked are you a alcoholic?Best to avoid the conversation entirely,have to drive is maybe the best F off and mind your own business.Good morning👍

[@jlcleaning.7619]

Great video Kevin.

[@James-kn3kf]

Great video, I can relate to little line barriers that were for ever increasing. Everybody needs some to down upon mentality. I'd like to see you do a video on drinking and marijuana addiction at the same time.

[@mattbrennan9675]

Love your message mate. Thank you

[@Manos-de-Piedra]

Have you gave up Matt 🍺 ?

[@mattbrennan9675]

I have. Last drink was on Christmas, a few weeks ago.@@Manos-de-Piedra

[@dwaynelasater2350]

I remember in my thirty's I would drink vodka with orange juice or whiskey with coca cola. At that time, I would say how could anyone drink this stuff straight with no mixer. Fast forward to my fifties, that is exactly what I was doing. Whiskey and Vodka straight. The thought of it now makes me sick. lol

[@michaelobrien9506]

Thanks again Kevin,great video. The analogies drawn from your own experience are very helpful to me, and each of them hits the mark,that mark that (perhaps) only an ex drinker can appreciate. Keep up the good work!

[@eriktred]

It floors me when people who drink regularly say I have a drinking problem. 😂

[@xys7536]

Im 55 with youthful tastebuds love sweets now my guts hurts i think its still some kind of blessing i come from long line of alcholics

[@pamelafavel6344]

She was judging you when she called you that . But we are all one step away from the one drink . And just because someone knew you as you did drink before its not going to define you as that person you are now .people change

[@DylanMcCallum-k4u]

Loving these videos mate. Just a quick question; are you in Ireland? These mountains are incredible.

[@HabitsV2]

Not yet. Andorra right now.

[@DylanMcCallum-k4u]

@@HabitsV2 Nice, nice. Looks bloody lovely mate. Those mountains are exactly what I need. Enjoy!

[@johnmorganjr769]

Yes, heavy drinker. Yes, highly functioning, eventually physical dependence. But 'alcoholic' ,no, Ive been a dad, provider, all the great stuff, can't stand under that banner. Just tired of the unintended consequences !! Have a good one bro. !! 🏞 🐟 🏃 🙏

[@growsinhouseherbiculturali1100]

What’s highly functioning mean?

[@chris_54]

It seems reasonable to talk about alcoholism from the moment you can't stop having another one once you've had one first drink.

[@mehDOGIESRATS2222]

You are ya own worst enemy and alcohol isn't ya friend . I never believed in calling myself Alcoholic either . I know I have a very addictive personality tho . Probably have A D D or something . Happy new yeah man , you should get a drone for filming . You can get one that follows you lol . No one likes a hypocrite . I'm just spending most of money on PC parts this year , so it forces me not to drink lol . I was telling my mum how I got this mean as m.2 drive for my PC and it's so much better now , and she's like how did you afford that . I said I just didn't buy booze with it , such a massive positive .

[@johnmorganjr769]

15 mos., no ethanol. Don't miss it. Problematic, and expensive. 👎

[@paulmarshall9189]

If you want to drink less alcohol, or no alcohol at all, then just do that. No need for any lines or idiots.

[@growsinhouseherbiculturali1100]

Thanks! 😂
