6 Life-changing Benefits of Quitting Alcohol 

I’m 28 days FREEEEEE from alcohol!!🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I will be 65 come this December. I've been drinking alcohol since I was 15, daily. I'm nine days free from alcohol, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel!

Thank you, Kevin. 57 days today. Every day is a battle. Went to an event last night. Nice to drive home with no worries about how much I had to drink. Thank you again for all you do.

I will be a year sober in October

Kevin, you've motivated me to stop drinking numerous times, but my idiot brain always returns to the poison. I'm currently 68 days alcohol free. Maybe this is the last time? Miracles happen.

I found I was drinking as I was lonely. I would go and sit in a bar until 5am, by myself, alone. I was percieved by people who knew me as successful in terms of money, education, etc. What they did not know is that I was lonely. I am 18 days off alcohol and I like the new me.

I must add that the 2 things I've noticed since stopping the swill , just 3 weeks or so in, is my eyesight has improved dramatically!! Things are crisp and clear and my ability to shift from dark to light is not a problem. I attribute the change to being rehydrated . I'm drinking tons of fluids now. I'm sure theres alot of reasons but it's incredible. The other thing is this physical calmness in my body. I was having tension across my shoulders and pain in my joints . It's all gone. The only way to describe it is ...smooth and floaty in my overall entire body. I think my nervous system is cooled off and relaxed. It's very comfortable and unexpected!

Another benefit Sobriety gives you is a baseline for who you really are so you can finally start working on yourself. for example in my first year of sobriety I learned how severe my anxiety is, it wasn't all the alcohol doing it. I used to miss days of work and thought it was all the drinking doing it, now I realize it's the anxiety during the workday that makes me not wanna come back, not the alcohol making not wanna go to work.

41 days. Longest streak since I took a year off in 2010. I worked in the entertainment industry for a decade. Bar scene every single night. Alcohol went from a party drug to a sit-at-home-alone drug towards the end. I went on a camping and hiking trip back in May. I asked God to help deliver me from booze while climbing Mt Marcy in New York State. Since then, every time I tried to drink, the beer tasted like absolute shite. So I just stopped. I thank God for giving me that. Bit of advice tho: Don’t worry about over eating on cookies and sugary drinks in early sobriety. You WILL have intense sugar cravings. But a sleeve of cookies is much better for you than a six-pack of Sam Adams. Give yourself some forgiveness along the way too. Its a disease.

Im an alcoholic and really struggling. I went to a meeting the other day. I will get there. Thank you for the video.. Stay strong and healthy mate.

Thanks for getting me through the first 4 days. They were really tough! I'm a week in now (7 days) You're awesome!

Spot on!! At 37 days now, and I've no intentions to go back. Life is too good this way! Thanks for the video.

Been looking for channels for advice. Personal stories and strength. Came across this channel a few minutes ago. Im 4 full days sober.

Had a sober weekend today, feels good didn’t have a hangover this week. Will keep on going sober.

I quit for a month about 6 months ago but I wanna stop for good now after drinking 7-12 fireball shots a day for a few years. On Sundays I’d drink 3-4 of those Clubtails since the liquor store was closed. Anyway I’m on day 10. My last drink was the last day of September. I really need to make this stick. My grandkids count on me. Have a great day!

220 days and i never plan on going back, i dont do casual drinking. Everything you say is correct, life has thrown me a few curve balls since but i never saw alcohol as a way to fix anything because it doesn't ❤❤

I'm 13 months clean and sober today and I don't have any cravings whatsoever thank goodness. I don't miss anything about it and I don't ever want to go back to drinking alcohol again. Once I started to treat alcohol like the poison that it really is it becomes so much easier to leave alcohol behind. I've left that chapter of my life behind and am trying to live a better life without self inflicted negatives...

I've been watching these videos off and on for a couple years now. I keep bouncing between drinking and not, but I always find myself coming back to these. Maybe one day I can stop for good.

This is pure gold, Kevin - pure gold.

Im 27 and have been a heavy binge drinker for the last 8 years. Currently in the process of shifting to a sober life, so dealing with nboredom is the hardest part 😆. I've been sober for a month now. My goal is to get past Christmas with zero alcohol.

Good words, spoken in the right form. I haven't been drinking for 14 months. The main benefit in my experience is clarity. Better conversations, clearer thoughts, better decisions, more conscious experiences. It is worth it!

I'm 74 years old and stopped drinking eight years ago. This was after drinking for fifty years and with the last thirty-five years drinking excessively every day. With expectations that certain benefits would quickly take place. One of these were I would immediately lose weight, but the opposite occurred. I literally gained around thirty pounds because of the sugar craving that started when I initially stopped drinking. Once these cravings stopped I not only lost the thirty pounds but around another twenty pounds as well. Five years into sobriety and with more time on my hands, I decided one day to calculate how much I spent drinking yearly. Which was concvertibly just over 15K. With that in mind I realized that 60K magically disappeared over that span. It apparently was swallowed up by everyday expenses or my wife has a secret off shore account in the Cayman Islands

Great thoughts kevin . I find myself wandering around the ranch here, seeing all the things that need to be done and that I've wanted to do but supposidly didnt have the time. Now all of a sudden there seems to be nothing but time! Hmmmm howd that happen I wonder!🤣 (not wasting the daylight sitting with a beer in my hand or walking back to the cooler to grab another) 👉 onwards....☝️and upwards!

Thank you. Thank you. Your message is so beautiful.

This is the best information I've listened to for quite some time, the most important thing is that I listened very carefully and I have taken it in properly. Articulate and very considered valuable information and I would like to say. Thank You .

Love this. You have such a soothing voice. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation.😊

This is the best motivation video for quitting alcohol with the music and the scenery, and just the wisdom. Made me feel at peace

Love the way you made this video. The music, spectacular views and knowledge. You was here and helped when I quit over 5 years ago. Thanks dude.

Another great vid brother. Appreciate all the effort you give to our community 👍

This is amazing. And so well done.

145 days, thanks Kevin.

Thank you! 💪🏻

Thank you for this 😊

Thanks buddy! watching you always feels like someone is by my side, talking, like a close friend.

Thanks brother. Need more people like you on Earth and the human race 🙏🙏☯️🌎

Inspiring, thank you.

Very nice kevin. Thank you..💜🇨🇦🙏

Thanks Kevin! I appreciate your good work.

Thank you brotha, I just started placing myself o. The right path to stop hindering myself by my consumption and abuse of alcohol. It's Def a challenge but I know my life is more precious then a bottle.

Great advice as usual Kev 👍

Thank you for your videos. they really help reinforce why I'm doing this now 6 months sober. I love me again.

Lovely video Kevin. So happy of joining your program and asking for help as well as working towards a better version of myself. If anybody watching this video is struggling with alcohol, please, ask for help, join the community, get out of your bubble and trust, you can do it.

This is beautiful. I've been trying for the last year and half to quit. Thank you

I've not a had alcohol in a month. I am going to be in control instead of alcohol controlling me .

Thank you, very helpful. 3 weeks.

Thank you for this video

Excellent video Thanks.

You are a gifted guide. Calm voice. No pressure. Just the conviction of experience and maybe suffering. I stopped immediately 9 months ago (2 drinks a day) after watching a RU-vid scientific video but I understand it can be harder for many...

I'm at the dangerous phase now. 50- 60 days. I feel great, so great in fact that I'm struggling to remember the feeling the lead me to stop drinking alcohol. Fortunately I've been here before and I know that if I start again, I'll just end up right back where I started..... needing to stop all over again. Not this time.

Not sure if I'm happy or sad that you are almost to 60k subscribers. It's too bad that so many people are suffering, but at least they are trying to get educated and recover... Great video, Kevin. I hope your videos are monitized and you get big fat checks from youtube. You deserve every penny! Thanks for everything. 👍❤️

This is a beautiful genuine video well done!

You have helped me loads ❤

Awesome video thank you! I’m 25 days alcohol free & counting. 😊💪🏽

You look amazing, cant imagine if you hadnt taken that fork in the road many years back. Thankyou for all your help and insights

16 days. A long hard road to get here

Thanks for your valuable content Kevin. The poison is now out of my life and I find major value from your videos which we can apply to other issues (mindset/attitude) in our lives too.

Thank you I love your videos

Thankyou kevin obviously ive just joined this ive been watching you videos on and off for a while and ive always thought youve spoke a lot of sense compared to other things ive been involved with to beat the booze i also thought it was a really nice touch with the msg you sent me 😊

True talk, facts.

I haven't drank anything in 15 months I've lost 54 lbs

8 months sober here

Great information as always Kevin, with the help and advice on your videos alone I now have 20 months sober👌oh and where abouts do you post your videos from looks great

Right on. The drinking buddies absolutely need to go. One of them died recently and I quit right away. I found out that I was drinking I wanted approval of my deceased dad (did shadow work) and I chose drinking buddies over friends. Once I did introspection, I was able to flip the switch. Didn't touch alcohol ever since.

I have just found your videos. Where do you film these looks so beautiful. Amazing words.

Day 22! Feeling great.

I envy your ability to be in the mountains and see all that amazing beauty..I live in Florida and there is nothing like that here..and what's left of my local woodlands is being destroyed to make way for more and more humans..depressing to even think about it..makes it even easier to get sedated and that's what I've done every night for 10 days while on vacation from work...got to go back to work tomorrow morning ..not drinking tonight or thru the week but damn it there is another weekend coming up..feeling sick and not feeling smart is not a good way to go through life

Stopped the booze but now too much sugar consumption (i.e chocolate) and junk food in general is an issue

If I quit alcohol I feel like I would lose all my friends and social life that's the sad thing for me but deep down i know its right...

thanks

Drink ruined my young days, all I was , was a nuisance, and missed out on great opportunities, I married an alcohol to fix him, ah ha and I not fixed myself. Love the sober life, no hang overs. Keep up the good work Thank you

I think it really takes someone who feels at the end of his ropes to be able to appreciate sound advice. It doesn't end there, though. You still have to go through the process of detoxification. Mood swings and doubt are a foot. You should never rely solely on one individual for encouragement. We humans and attitudes change one minute to the other. Maintaining relationships is a two-way street. This man expects results from its listeners. Let's keep up so that we can give him a good report at the end of the day and show him that his efforts are not in vain

Soberiety is addictive.

Seven years ago, I quit drinking after many years. This had a tremendously positive effect after a year. I lost weight, looked better, became fitter, had more energy and felt I could do a lot more and I did. However, to date, my relationships were demolished to the extent I have not one friend left now, I became very unhappy and severely depressed, extremely anxious and paranoid. Both my businesses were completely destroyed. I have lost my money, lost my residences, lost my businesses, my vehicles, my wife. Basically, everything in my life went to hell. Whist not perfect whilst I was drinking for over 40 years, this is so, so, so much worse.

4 years today I stopped drinking,feeling great I didn’t drink a lot or often but every now and then use to make me sleep so bad .

LOVE not drinking. Proved myself enough already right? Relapse is good for you for perspective but drinking can definitely let that slide. Sitting without it is nice!

AA programme of 12 steps off recovery sobriety rocks

One thing that made drinking so dangers for me is after a while I never got hangovers. I started drinking around 11 or 12...it's cool having a rich best friend but not when the money comes for his parents owning several bars. The garage basement and fridge were always full of liquor. Boxes and boxes to try. Some had been sitting years so parents never checked. On our 13th birthday we drank 13 shots and got alcohol poison. I was so sick the next morning I walked 5 miles home just to go back to bed. And ways that evolved into skipping class in highschool just to hit up the liquor store for a half pint. I didn't quit until I joined the military. Flipped a vehicle hammered drunk before going to basic. Escaped a dui. Man of course after basic...started drinking again and over the course of the next 10 years from 23 I was on and off drinking having maybe 1 to two year breaks...then when on a 3 year daily binge after covid happened. 3 weeks sober today. My mind is so much more clear. Alcohol is poison man. It's nasty stuff. If you haven't quit yet if I can do it you can too! I'm not going back this time. You need these videos...watch one maybe 3 times a week constantly remind yourself about the damage this alcohol poison does to your internal organs...don't go back!! IWNDWYT

I loved this dialog. How old are you now, and how old when you stopped drinking?

29 days sober!

70 years old and I have at least 4 drinks early evening daily. I tell myself to stop it everyday cause effects my body for the worse and not to mention my budget. Still talking to myself but no reaction yet.

Apparently and evidently, I get seizures after I stop moderately drinking. I had a seizure in front of my daughter and father! My anxiety goes through the roof, to begin with! But, I’m trying ❤️‍🔥

Thought i would drop a 2nd post on this video from a month ago. Its been 7 weeks since yesterday and im not out of the woods yet but doing better now than i was. That stuff alcohol is deadly, no good and i had no idea how bad it really was. I just kept it social at the weekends so theres me thinking I would be ok because it was just at weekends but how wrong was I! Anyone struggling during the early stages of giving up this stuff, heres some tips thats helped me. Eat healthy, so in the morning have an apple, orange, blue berries and a banana. Boring i know but mood boosting is whats needed trust me. Exercise, go for long walks even if you dont feel like it and you're too anxious make yourself do it anyway. If you cant go out then just do a load of squats indoors just any form of exercise to tire yourself out. Watch a load of breathing exercises on youtube, do a load of breathing exercises and hypnosis sessions for anxiety/depression etc. It takes multiple ways to battle this but try and make yourself do these things consistently everyday until you start to feel more at ease. There wont be instant results but results there will be at 1 time or another nonetheless.

A life beyond your wildest dreams without alcohol

I do not have an issue . I would be too terrified of the consequences of drinking ie liver disease and horiffic tests and treatments

I find it impossible to quit for long. It's not the cravings or withdraw, its the boredom. Without boize everythingnis just so boring. I hate it.

375 days

I like you!

I’m on day 10. I knew I had a problem when I would wake up early pour a drink before I even ate breakfast

I’m so interested in this videos , me and my family have always been drinkers , I’m 33 and Iv always enjoyed a beer with friends and people down the pub but wouldn’t say I have a problem at all but I do think now at my age that I need to think about money and health and learning new skills , any advice? Cheers x

Only being 21 years old, I’m embarrassed by the fact that I have years of alcohol abuse behind me. Really hoping last night was the last night I spend in a drunken stupor. Feels like shooting in the dark with it, but all the liquor and beer are in the dumpster now and hopefully it stays that way.

been off booze a month...l miss the buzz and listening to music but l do not miss waking up feeling like shit the next day. also l have more money...l was blowing about 40 bucks a week on gin. that adds up eventually. lm not saying l will never drink again but giving the body a break from booze is a good feeling.

We should be like Dogs .they just live in the moment

one day at a time.

3 weeks for me

I drank excessively 2 weeks ago from today and the anxiety has been too much. Ive been drinking since 17 and approaching 41 now. But im still not fully recovered from it. Can anyone tell me if it takes longer than 2 weeks to recover from the damage done to the brain and nerves?

Didn't recognize your face but as soon as you began to speak...

🎉❤

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

i just relapsed. shit sucks

One month off the alcohol. I would binge drink. Over a month ago i woke up feeling absolutely awful. Im done.
