In Oct 2019, this video caused me to read one of Allen Carr’s books. That book caused me to stop drinking. 6 months no alcohol today! (Apr 2020) UPDATE (Oct 2020): 1 year with no alcohol on October 11, 2020! UPDATE 2 (Aug 2023): After about 14 months without alcohol I decided I might be able to handle drinking again (Jan 2021). I was fine for a while but then slipped back into old habits. I quit again in Sep 2021 and haven’t had a drink since using the principles of this book. It will be 2 years next month.

Research shows it takes 2 weeks to make or break a habit. Looks like you've done it! Life definitely gets better but it takes time. I stopped weed and cigarettes within three months of each other. Both 20 year long addictions. My life has improved immeasurably. It's been 10 years now. I prayed to God, used the Alan Carr method and replaced the bad habits with new healthy habits but believe that everyone must find what works for them. Stay strong and vigilant. Everyone has got what it takes to stop and you have proven that by crossing the two week threshold. 💪

Had my last drink/cigarette just under 3 months ago on my 30th. I'm not looking back. All the best to whoever else is on their own journey. 💪✌👍 Update - 2 years sober today! No drink, drugs or cigarettes. The best decision I've ever made.

Yup, similar experience. Drank for much longer than the expiration date on fun had passed., years too long. Stopped the day after my 26th birthday, almost 32 now. There's nothing new to find there. Absolute zero desire to ever drink again. No struggle, no AA, just naturally tapered off over a couple of years with the growing realisation I was through with it, until it became months between drinking occasions and the final time was my brother's wedding. Not to mention all that money flushed. Life is much fuller and varied now.

I quit drinking nearly 4 years ago. Read the Allen Carr book but eventually relapsed. Best book for me was kick the drink easily by Jason Vale. Absolute game changer in my opinion. It's actually easy to quit drinking, it's what comes after which is the hard bit, you're going to have to relearn how to socialise as an adult, rethink most friendships and then find new hobbies to fill the huge amount of time you've now got because you're neither drunk nor hungover anymore. Good luck to anyone choosing this path

6:30 this was the part that got me the most. I read this book, and it did change my life, and I thought for so long that I needed a drink to "feel nice", but really what was happening was I was relieving my anxiety, and becoming less sociable, and less confident. Since not drinking, I have learned to be more confident, and not need a substance to improve my ability to enjoy myself. Loved this video, big fan of both people in it, I relate to a lot of what Nikki is saying.

I never drink alcohol until the pandemic and then I was starting drinking heavily for two years and it caused some health issues including anxiety and mild depression. I knew I had to stop and I finally quit on 12/30/22. My strategy is to watch or read about how terrible alcohol is every time I wanted a drink and it has worked so far. I love that Nikki talked about the book "the easy way to stop drinking" by Allan Carr. I've never read it and now I am curious. It is truly psychological. If you think something is easy then you are more likely to accomplish it than if you think it is difficult. This strategy applies to working out, eating healthy, starting a project.. etc.

@ I hear ya. That was my initial and long lasting crutch as well. In a social setting, I drank until fully hammered. No middle ground. All because I became talkative, social and funloving. But I guess I got lucky in that I moved and no longer had all my party friends. My interests developed in things away from solely socializing thru drinking. And was amazed how great it felt to wake up on the weekend (and some weekday) mornings without a hangover. Everyone has a their own path to walk and cross to bear. Now on the occasion I tie one on, the next day reminds me how much I don't miss that lifestyle.

The only thing I regretted about quitting drinking, was that I didn’t do it 20 years earlier. The single most important thing about the book is you have to read it from the beginning to the end. Don’t skip. It’s very tempting to want to just go to the end to find the “secret”. It doesn’t work like that. You’ll ruin your chances if you do that. Whatever you do, DO NOT SKIP TO THE END!! Also: read it with an open mind. Don’t think “this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about”. Better to think: “maybe this guy is onto something here”.

Mike amen, I’m at that point. I’d only disagree about her saying no side effects. I don’t have any remotely serious ones like DT’s but I sweat like crazy for the first 5 days and very little sleep. Otherwise it’s not bad at all, need to stick to it this time though, took 2 months off during summer after drinking heavy for a while, but took only one visit to a baseball game with friends to bring the raging 🥃 alcoholic back. Probably will check out the book and train my mind if I’m thinking of relapsing for whatever reason. This stuff sucks and is a major waste of time and money. Luckily only stay home and drink or else I’d be broke for sure

Just Another Important Person Yeah my mom died in March (suddenly) and my already problematic “habit” of two glasses or three a night went OFF THE RAILS. Day drinking, blackout stuff. But it’s so true, when I think about it logically, all alcohol did was make my mother’s death unbearable. Way worse. Now I feel sad but not suicidal the way alcohol made me. I try and keep it simple...alcohol makes it all worse. Hang in there, dude.

@@michaelj6392 It's much harder when somebody is engaged in drinking or drug use early on and then throughout their formative and "developmental" years, for sure. I don't buy into the "it's so much easier than you think, it's a mindset thing" in many of those cases, because brain chemistry has been impacted in a very real way... that being said I also don't buy into the idea that sobriety is just impossible for some people.

Well you can consider someone like joe who is very successful, multiple achievements and can exercise self control, to kind of laugh a bit at the idea. It sucks some of us need a drug to find satisfaction but joe doesn’t... that’s why your comment is a little ironic if you haven’t noticed.. joes wife said I bet you can’t go a month without smoking weed, and he did it almost immediately.

The book changed a lot of things for me. I haven't drank alone in 2 years, and I mean not even a sip. I still drink if i go out which is nowadays 1-2 times a month and the reason for that is my anxiety. Literally the only cure that i've found for it is alcohol and I love the fact that it makes me confident and social but the book made me realize there is no need for it when im alone.

@@danielgamboa3757 shouldn't. I used to drink 8-10 49.5% shots Daily on an empty stomach. I know I don't want to be in a hospital for days like that again. Basically to keep drinking, that will happen more easily and more often. Each time the pancreas can become infected or spill out an infect other insides. Basically was explained to me the pancreas began to eat itself causing the inflammation. I hope months from now I can have a casual drink. For the sake of not dying, there began a sudden stop to drinking like I used to. Very hard, but tomorrow gonna try meds to help with the craving. Odd enough most nurses said to me to smoke pot.

@@coltonblake13 what kind of meds are you talking about are they natural kind of stuff or you get by a doctor. It's been 7 months since I been healthy and now I drink a Budweiser here and there do you think that's okay or should I just leave the drinking for good?
@coltonblake13
@coltonblake13 3 года назад
I couldn't tell you. They Basically told me nothing anymore. By I was more then doubling the "weekly ok" amount every day for like 3 years. I would assume that a beer on a full stomach here and there is OK. Well naturally I've heard hard candy sugar helped people or Marijuana but either is replacing a drug with another. There's a couple drugs prescribed. Some shut off the dopamine you get from drinking, so your body only feels drunk or "poisoned" but with no pleasure in the brain. So can rewire the brain to dislike it. On the other side they can give you drugs that make u sick and vomit if you drink anything. Again Basically to tell the brain to associate drinks with negativity instead of pleasure. 7 months though you seem to be doing pretty good. It is very serious though to go back to how we got there. Like, can literally die or loss the pancreas all together. My main nurse told me he sees people come in every month for it until they don't make it. I'd say a beer maybe two on a full stomach once in a good while is fine. Just a shot in the dark though, not medical.
