What Are The Benefits Of Not Drinking Alcohol?

[@Evankayden-z7y]

I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

[@NetaZjdb]

Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

[@Morrisbraga-jm9lc]

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

[@CathieGomez-mp8sk]

Reach out Ali shroom

[@Harris_jones]

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

I’m at 40 days today! It’s like a different world that I’m learning to navigate, but I love. Everyday really is a new adventure. Thank you for sharing!

[@elmorcielagomorcielago1146]

Seven weeks sober and very bored and compfused. I don't know how long I'm going to do this for, but it does feel great all the way around. Getting great rest. Love those teas, sleepy time and green tea. I really enjoy guys like you sharing your experience. It tells me that I'm not alone worth this experience. There was a time that my routine in the morning was to call friends and try to find out what stupid things I might have done that ofended people or friends so I can appologize to them cus I felt horrible for the stupid things that I did. Thank you again for sharing your experience, its a big support for idiots like me. One big thing that I've been doing also that has helped me is staying in prayer. I ask for help and support from the allmighty. Best wishes to all people that are in this journey.

[@aaronlee7122]

About to take the leap. This video and the comment section really gives more confidence in my decision. Thanks yall

[@nsrfreak]

Good luck Aaron. I'm only on day 2 after finding out I've damaged my liver after drinking for 25 years. Big wake up call. All the best to you🙂

[@xxxxjoan9559]

How are you doing?

[@nonameman9291]

🙌

[@bobbyjames4300]

Do it , you will love the feeling..

[@igotbandaids]

God bless those w a alcohol or drug problem. I’m blessed to have never had but I saw that curse in relatives. Hang in there and reach out to love yourself so you can see the truly wonderful person you are under all that addiction.

[@whitney8720]

Thank you for this inspiration! I am 4 days clean from alcohol today. Today I will not drink. Tomorrow is a new day and I will declare the same.

[@gregbeaumont5554]

One year ago you posted this, Just wondering how you’re doing I’m back on the wagon after drinking for one year , My best friend just died from drinking,

[@majesticcamels4198]

She's probably more than likely back drinking again, it's just the sad reality

[@AllIn1Studio]

You are fabulous! I thank the universe for guiding me to you. You popped up out of the blue. I just want to share that I feel sad and disappointed at having wasted decades of my life, of my creativity, through heavy drinking. You simply won’t believe how long I’ve been drinking ...- all my life. From Irish stock and every relative drinking Guinness I started very early indeed. I’m in my 60s now! God definitely must have a plan for me because I’m still here very healthy... liver lungs heart in great shape and now my mind - so clear. I have an unshakable faith and I’m excited about finishing my creative projects and am so inspired by your naturally positive outlook and life style through your wise choice. This is such a huge step for me and I’m only on my 15th day……!! I’m feeling some incredible unforeseen benefits already. Thanks again. To your good health!

The last time I was intoxicated I fell down the stairs while carrying firewood to the woodstove in the basement. I smashed my head open and totally passed out. It was January 11th 2017. I was helicoptered to Dartmouth hospital in Lebanon NH from my home in Littleton NH. Nobody thought I would survive - doctors, nurses, therapists, friends and family. I had 3 brain surgeries. I was in the hospital for a year and could not even walk. Age 56. Fortunately strong as an ox from a lifetime of heavy weightlifting and hiking in these rugged mountains. I remembered nothing during that full year and I did not even know where I lived. When I got back home I could only walk a hundred yards using a walker. Slowly graduating to using a beaver cut staff and going further. I now had epilepsy and 6 siezers. Now I walk without help a couple of miles on these mountain trails, a bit unsteady on roots and rocks whereas before I often bushwacked into remote areas with pack and rifle. I shall continue to get better. A year ago I started weightlifting again - before my injury I was very near the NH state bench press record for my age and weight. 5 years ago I had bought several hundred bitcoin at $250 each. I sold half of them for $2 MILLION US dollars after tax. Everybody meets with challenges in life - they can take you down or cause you to overcome in ways that are stronger than ever. This is me. I shall and am coming back whatever may.

[@kieranhimself3655]

@Perry M sounds like Forrest Gump

[@robbatayaki5505]

I immediately liked the tone of the video. I "stopped" 3 months ago with 4 exceptions totalling 9 small drinks. I treat them as "accidents" not "drinking in moderation" or any other kind of "management"

[@volodion]

I'm from Russia, Moscow. thank you for this info

[@moneybags7064]

Just completed my 7th day. Today was particularly difficult, so I am glad that I found this video

[@llgee1380]

Some days or every day make it your job not to drink . Tomorrow will always be better without alcohol and if it isn’t down the road … we’ll we know the booze will be there . But we can succeed at our job not to drink…. One day at a time . It’s a comfort to know there are many others who feel like you but they have reached many days and years free and happy …. patience with ourselves 1 hour at a time will turn into days ,weeks, and more freedom than we can know …..

[@marksmer1]

Thank you for the great video. This really hit home for me I'm going on 7 weeks sober and I can't remember ever feeling this good. I'm 45 and I feel like I have a new lease on life I don't need alcohol I'm so much better without it.

[@f_r_e_d]

7 months no alc, I feel incredible af

[@didlidoodles343]

Very articulate young man. I really enjoyed listening to your journey through 15 positive outcomes of not drinking. 4 years have passed since that video. I hope you are still on the wagon and living your best life.

[@billmoore1936]

Yes you have a better life believe you me I have been sober for going on 6 years and is fantastic Bill

[@davewicks787]

This is the most authentic and factual account of the horror of alcohol/addiction. I say that not just from a personal perspective, simply from know 1000's of family, friends, colleagues and other people who chose the wise course to quit alcohol. "Everything" in moderation, except for addictions, there's 100's of them, we're all human. Peace of mind comes from within not from a bottle.

[@victorgomes2823]

Reading all these comments gave me motivation to quit alcohol.

[@Mexicobeanpole]

Brilliant video. I’m 5 years sober. I’m no longer wine’s bitch.

[@patrickprendergast9589]

ok

[@weAreNotAloneHere]

Really put things in more perspective and knowing about the more in tune you get as time goes on, dead on. I’m off now and won’t be back on. Since xmas and feel beter each day

[@bmg2507]

6:27 this is so true. After alcohol I became like a child fascinated by many topics and the simplest of things and often have a sense of calm and control and warmness inside.

[@juliolinares6636]

Love his channel. The way he puts everything in perspective and clear is amazing. I went through the same thing he explains. Seizures, acute withdrawals, pancreatitis, liver problems, months with no sleep, insomnia, anxiety issues, HBP, hairloss, deliriums, hallucinations, and also anorexia. I was an athlete and lost opportunities to be a pro and lost countless dream jobs. I cried numerous times and felt shame in my relationships and even around family.

[@kb2825]

This is totally me. It makes me feel somewhat better that I'm not the only one who experienced this and actually made it out on the other side. I wanna get to the point of not drinking at all. This is day 2 and counting. I know its not much but its a start

[@williamm9305]

I quit the Devils piss Alcohol, month ago after drinking for years socially. Now I feel great, sleep is so good. My skin color is back to original color. No more nightmares and hangovers. I love working out and focusing on myself again.

[@nozynoz]

11 days been clean, 4 days in fallen ill, everyday gets better. Thank you for the cast.

[@jujumulligan43]

In my late 60s and have been on a rollercoaster ride with alcohol my entire adult life. It's a daily process for me to stay focused and keep alcohol out of my body. I'm never going to give up. I know if I do the work I will be free. Sober today!!❤

[@simo1747]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I especially love the part around not knowing your purpose. I think this is a massive hole in most peoples lives, including my own. I’m 5 weeks in and have already been so much more productive. I’m yet to find my purpose, or even have any idea, as I’ve always been in jobs I hate, but simply done them for a pay-check. I hope that I’ll find my purpose now that I’ve made my mind up that alcohol doesn’t provide me any benefits whatsoever. I didn’t use Will power this time, I changed my thought process on alcohol itself. It’s really made it so much easier to give away.

[@gon-bo-gabo372]

Good stuff to know, 60 dayz today, shooting for 90 and maybe a year! Wanted a change, love my sleep now, i can relate with the drinking n working out ha- now when i workout, feels great, clarity, speaking, better, not a huge drinker but started to be non productive, a few cousins n 1 friend, all around 45 46, gone from drinking? Made me think, past 50 myself, great shape though, thank u Bob - AZ

[@leecookson5922]

I'm 2 weeks sober today after drinking between 221-310 units a week. I feel so lucky and so looking forward to life without that toxic stuff in it.

[@liverightdieproud2189]

I used naltrexone to give up alcohol. I m having more and more alcohol free days. I m hopeful that I will finally give up alcohol for good. Once I give it up, I won't touch it again in my life. And I will teach my kids how dangerous alcohol really ism

[@jeanmarc5896]

Good on you mate! I'm pride of you Very clear and helpful I am now 205 days without alcohol and feeling better every day. Thanks legend

[@bobwreck3775]

Alcohol sucks because of the health issues but also because its a high you chase and chase but can never stay there. We always have to come off of the high and then face our crippled body

[@annatorres2587]

I am so proud of you and so honest. Praying my family member will quit just like you did. God bless!

[@stevemackie1755]

Well that’s not gonna work.

[@kathleenlewis324]

This video is two yrs old so I don't think anyone will read my comment. Thankyou for the honesty and I'm stoked for everyone that can quit this. I'm scared and tyred. A bit jellous of you all too. Happy holidays.

[@xxxxjoan9559]

I read all the comments. And Chris is still be amazing. His fir recovery podcasts are great.
