Want to Stop Drinking FOREVER? Watch THIS for 2024 

I’m at 6 weeks sober today. I will not go back. No decisions need to be made anymore! Just not doing it. It feels like chains are lifted!

After "countless vain attempts" to "stop drinking", and zero success, I had a moment where I looked into the abyss and finally got honest with myself...Rigorously honest! That was the moment I began to recover. My focus completely shifted away from "not drinking", to how I was moving my feet! From the movie the "Shawshank Redemption"..."Get busy living, or get busy dying". That is the essence of recovery, and you're right Veronica about developing different habits, routines, and practices. Any elite athlete, or elite musician, or professional in whatever field, will tell you that they had to practice, and keep practicing. That is why after more than 29 yrs of continuous sobriety, I am more involved in recovery than ever. I don't want my skills to deteriorate, because the penalty for me is death. To end on a very positive note, my life today is so far beyond not drinking, that I have trouble processing it sometimes. I live in abundance by any definition of the word! Happy, joyous, and...FREE!

Freedom= driving by your old favorite liquor store and not thinking twice. I miss that...

You are brilliant. You state a fact that is so intense it needs to be posted on the sides of all alcohol bottles. I used to say I drank to alter my brain to deal with reality. And I actually thought that was okay. Since March 14, 2023 I decided to alter my reality, remove stressful things and deal with what I was running from so I wouldn't need alcohol. I no longer "outsource my problems to alcohol". Thank you!

Reading this book , 10 months sober…. 25 lbs down, 98 percent anxiety free , getting out of debt! , sleeping like a baby & getting compliments on looking great & I feel like the weight of the world is much lighter!

Thank you for your content. I need to quit drinking forever. I go for 6-7 days then I start drinking again ( about 3 days) then I sober up again. I’m disappointed in myself and I want to live sober

Agreed completely on the element of fixing the element that make you feel bad about your life …unless you identify and work on those element you are going to go back to use alcohol to forget about it

Absolutely love your comment about consistency over intensity. That has been my mantra, decluttering our home, however, it is so appropriate to stop alcohol consumption. I quit drinking for three months, January February and March then started up again until today, October 7, 2023; I'm tired of feeling lousy.

Stay full with healthy food, a sugar dip in your system will start you thinking about alcohol (it is glucose), weakening your sobriety resolution.

I'm currently reading Atomic Habits, and was thinking, wow, the idea of looking at the system rather than the outcome is so much like Clear's book! I think one thing that is shifting (3rd day sober) for me is that before, I couldn't trust myself. It was like I saw myself as this little weasel that would screw everything up if I even saw a drink. I worked to really gear myself up for dry January and I'm feeling so much more at peace and like I can stick with it, like I am not as likely to trip myself up! And I think a part of that is my focus on spirituality this time around. Love this video!

Just got my first DUI totaled my truck I’ve lost everything. I never want to touch alcohol again.

Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. I am not a big fan of AA and I like your pragmatic approach. Also, your podcast is impressive.

Oh yes. I'm so excited to find the book you mentioned, "Atomic Habits" is available at the library. I'm convinced that creating healing habits is where I have needed to focus on! Thank you 🙏!!❤❤❤

Your kids will love you for quitting! I know firsthand !

GOD WORKS FOR ME 😊

Thank you so much for this. You described me like a mirror. I tried to catch the name of the book you referenced but could not. You are so wise here and very helpful. With much gratitude.

I just discovered your channel! This is great stuff. I am going to check out more of your videos. Thank you for sharing this ❤

You're really good with helpful insights. I subscribed!

Glad I found this video.

Yes.. consistency is the most difficult aspect..

Thank you. This is the best podcast I’ve heard on sobriety ever and I’ve heard a lot! I will be buying your book! 🙏😃❤

Thank you for your work, Veronica. Can you kindly share the recording for building my sober practice. Regards

I loved listening to you! Thank you! ❤

This video is literally going too change my life

You’re awesome

I don't feel the 'more freedom" yet... I feel like I am drowning in a verbally/mentally abusive relationship and have no way out except an escape in alcohol now and then. 5 kids, 2nd marriage...how do we even begin to separate. I have failed, once again. 😢 And I was the stellar athlete, student, daughter, ..until my first divorce. 😪

Consistancy for ANYTHING we want to build. We are either building up or building down. Everyone these days wants now now now. 🐢 turtle wins the race.

How can I order your book ? I don’t see any links below . Maybe I missed it . Help please 🙏 Ty ;)

Are we live?

So many programs out there that promise you'll quit drinking from one day to the next and feel great for the rest of your life. Listen, Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever takes a lighter, safer approach which you decide to go with at your own pace. Best shortcut I go’ogled that only took days to rewire my brain to continually experience mental peace.

Off topic you look like Sarah jESSICA Parkerr 🙂

HOW TO STOP DRINKING: 1. EAT SHROOMS 2. TURN OFF RU-vid 3. LOVE YOURSELF & LIVE YOUR LIFE FREE OF WEAPONIZED CONSUMABLE LIQUIDS

I,m drinkin 2 escape, my husband is acholic,

It is a HABIT. The habit of...... Saying to Others.... I Dont Drink, CUZ it always makes me feel Badd. That's all! (and then , I Get A LOOK back, to say... What's wrong with you?)

Let me start off by saying that I wish you the best. That said, I do want to say I gave you a thumbs down because this is a boring video. Maybe you can focus on your editing abilities. Maybe have a conversation with someone and that is what you should video tape. Good luck and I do want to wish you well on your channel in the future.

Emotionele teenager is the time when i started using alcohol
