WOW! You look amazing! I am 7 days Sober now after decades of heavy drinking. I'll be 60 in early May of this year and i am so determined to get Sober heading into my 60's as alcohol has been detroying me. God bless you and i am so happy for you. God bless. -Bob
@weather bob, how's it going?
@@charliehobson33 Has a slip up, but back at it. Thanks 😊
@@charliehobson33 Still having bad cravings but doing well. Thanks.
I went into rehab right when covid hit. The center took photos when a client checks in. I was in horrible shape very close to death. Thats not my opinion its the opinion of the doctors and nurses treating me. I had just finished 5 days,at detox. Anyway I was 58 at the time and my before photo i didn't look a day over 80. Soooo bad. A wreck. Today I'm 61 and easily pass for 45. I went from being wheeled into detox because I couldn't walk to running a full marathon last October. Alcohol is poison. It can and will kill a person if they let it happen. Recovery is definitely possible. I'm proof. Help is available.
Bob, getting processed carbs out of your diet will help! Try keto, carnivore, or just low carb with whole foods. This has helped me.
Totally agree with this. When I quit drinking, after 1 month, I noticed that my face looked a lot better, and after 3-4 months, it looked like my face went back in time 8 years. I've been 7 months sober now.
Thats amazing 😊
Awesome 😁💪🙌😇😇❤️
I can't wait to hit 7 months.
@@_TheEndless_ congrats.
I quit drinking for 6 months as a precaution because I was starting to binge drink. Last year was super bad...I'd drink almost every day and once I started, I couldn't stop. I spoke to my psychologist and we made this treatment plan of taking anti craving meds and quit cold turkey and omg....I lost 11kg (24 pounds) in 3 months. YES, THREE MONTHS. My body felt so much lighter, stronger and healthier overall. My skin looks better, I'm thin again and I just feel amazing. For the first time in my life I feel pretty and happy with myself. Quitting alcohol was the best thing I've ever done.
Awesome!
I'm 62 and never drank alcohol. I do notice a physical difference with women my age who drink. I'm healthy, vibrant and active. great skin, almost no wrinkles. The most important thing for me is that I was always "present and alert" in my life. always in a state of consciousness witch helped me through so much. Life is intense enough without blurring it with alcohol. I'm happy mentalities are evolving, alcohol was over rated and glorified for so long, I'll spare you what people would say and do to get me drinking! I'm cheering for all of you and wish you a life of authenticity and 'presence'.
I work at a bar and over the years I have noticed there is a HUGE difference in appearance between women in their 60s who smoke and drink everyday, and women like my mother in their 60s who work out and eat well. Like a huge difference lol
Got to ask, why are you watching if alcohol has never been a thing for you?
Not a dig, just genuinely curious.
because I have a friend who has an alcohol problem and not that I want to solve it, but I want to support her. Great question by the way!
@@lizrock1442 Ah, I see. You sound like a valuable friend, well played. Good luck to you and your mate. 👍🏻
i love your sobriety videos, they've helped me so much. being sober at 21 is a very isolating journey and your videos help me feel less alone. thank you so much
i got sober november of 2020 and relapsed in may 2021 and now i've been sober again since july 7th and found ur videos the night i decided to get sober again it helped me realize i'm not the only one that struggles at this age
I'm so happy they've been able to help you 💓 I can definitely relate to feeling isolated...we are taking a path less traveled, especially at this age. Ultimately though, we are putting ourselves first and that's something to be proud of :)
Yep I can definitely say giving up drinking was the single best decision of my life. The benifits once you quit are crazy weight loss, no puffy face, more hydrated, naturally on a high.
Exactly!
I’m 21 months without alcohol ‘ my experience is identical to Stephanie , however I was 50 when I gave up alcohol. So happy I realised that alcohol was not my friend , wish I did it at 22 , but better late than never . So good to live without anxiety and dread. Unexpected changes like not being intimidated and sticking up for myself and others more , I really like that / thanks Steph , enjoyed yr vid
currently two weeks sober 🙌 it’s really crazy how much of a difference two weeks without it makes ! this vid is literally spot on ! so excited for this journey ! 💕
I’m 23 stopped drinking a few days ago. I would drink wine all day everyday for the past 2 years and I notice how much weight I’ve gained. My face looks so puffy my stomach is super bloated and I just look and feel gross and like a whole different person. And I wasn’t eating any differently so I didn’t understand why I had put on so much weight. After about 6 days now obviously I’m not back to how I use to look but I already can see my face and my stomach shrinking back to normal size. I’m ready to get back to my normal self and old size
Im so proud of you!!!
Im sober 11 years after drinking for 20. You are speaking the truth. The problems only get worse as time goes by.
This is phenomenal! I wasn’t drinking every day but noticed I was reaching for alcohol more. I am 4 days in. Thank you for inspiring me on my journey ❤️ xxx
congrats on 4 days ☺️
You look stunning, shocking to see how much you have changed. Was just saying to my boyfriend yesterday that more girls especially would probably quit if they knew how much better they would look after. I'm 7 months sober and haven't been this slim, or looked as good for years and I'm old. :-)
thank you so much! I knew quitting would make me feel better internally, but the external benefits are definitely a plus :) congrats on 7 months!!
@@stephmstill Thank you. xx
3days sober…looking forward to the amazing changes
How are you doing now?
I've been sober for almost 18 months. I'm so glad I do not have to plan around alcohol anymore.
This video was very inspirational❤️ I’m 1month sober and I feel great! It’s very hard because I use to look forward to drinking to feel better about myself, and now I’m doing it alone with out alcohol! So I just keep telling myself this and installing it in my brain when I start feeling a little down about not drinking to feel good”,,,alcohol is poison” alcohol is a liar” and that just makes the feeling go away and at the end it just empowers me more to continue my journey to be SOBER AND TO LOVE MYSELF WITHOUT ALCOHOL because it’s a bad bad substance that just makes you not be yourself and it eats at your brain slowly…
Awesome! I quit 101 days ago and will never go back! Yes it does take some time to look and feel your best but dont give up. Kudos to everyone who quits!
This came at the right time. Taught me a few things I didn't know. Thank you!
I love that you said it helped you spiritually. God bless !
Love the video thank you for sharing Steph! I am 2 years sober and have never looked back. I cannot believe how great I look. My hair is full again. My skin is clear and supple. GAME CHANGER total glowup!!❤
You are doing such important work. Please keep it up. Bless you and lots of love.
Congrats on your sobriety!! And ty for making this video! I am on my journey as well! 1year next month let’s go!! Love sober living!
Fantastic that you learned all of this so young!! Enjoy life!!
thanks for sharing
You look amazing 👍 love your videos , thank you. I’m 5 weeks sober and very excited about my future 😊
My attractiveness increased, and so did my mood!.
Subscriber from the UK here. From the ages of 18 to mid thirties I had a gradually worsening drink problem that had become something resembling alcoholism. I am currently on day 50 of no booze, after numerous attempts to quit. My new interests are Tim Hortons French Vanilla Lattes, and going to the gym everyday before work to try and create a healthy routine. In the past I would drink a 5 pint bottle of cider before going on a night out, or an entire bottle of port. The warning signs were buying miniature bottles of spirits from shops whilst on the way to the bars, drinking them in the street. This then became combined with having Jack Daniels chasers with my beers. I then graduated to carrying a hip flask. I am committed to forever quitting alcohol now, but it is still relatively early days as I have quit in the past.
Thats awesome 💪😁🙌 Congratulations... you have come a long way. Praying for strength for you and that it gets easier every day and moment. 🙏🙏😇☺️ Its the greatest freedom. If you need help or support always know its out there and you are not alone ☝️🙏🙏
Nice to meet you Steph! I wished I wouldve quit in my 20’s, I am 37 now. I am at 18 AF today. I did 3.5 months last year and my boredom broke me and I went back to my typical weekend night binge drinking ways lol. One other factor that led me to start again, was the lack of benefits everyone else said they had, that I didnt. Yeah i slept better and lost a little belly fat but that was about it. Never got more energy and all the other ones. I figured if I didn’t receive those benefits at 3.5 months then I never would. Maybe it just wasnt long enough since I have been drinking alcohol for a long time. Im actually wanting to be AF for good this time though, even if I dont get ANY benefits. Anyways, thank you so much for the video! Hope you are still AF and thriving!
I stopped drinking when I was 24 - thank you reminding me of those first positive feelings!! Now it's just my normal (I'm 29) but so nice to be reminded of that beginning period. I love what you said about the eyes looking like you're not in conflict with yourself ❤
Girl, making this decision at your age the chances of enjoying your 20's, meeting the better/right guy/girl and improved friendships and relations in general, sorting your life out before you hit 30, is all improved drastically! You have made a wize decision! You look great! Subbed and looking forward to more vids :)
My god, you’re so right. Appealing to my vanity is doing the trick. Keep up the good work, thanks
You look stunning! Thanks for the info!
I found your sobriety video a couple days ago the same day I decided to stop drinking alcohol. And the fact that you just uploaded today made me so happy. Cannot wait to be fully detoxed and finally fully back to myself again! Thank you for being so honest and open about your journey
sounds like fate to me ;) I'm so happy and excited for you!! you got this 💓
So happy for you!
thank you so much!!
Your amazing, your advice was really inspiring 👏
Thank you for sharing, this video is really valuable
You look gorgeous! ❤ I have been cutting on alcohol for a while and I have noticed that whenever I go out for a night of social drink, my face would have problem the day after like almost immediately, and I would have insomnia and stomach problems . I ‘ll on my way to stop drinking completely.
Alcohol is one of the worst deadly poisons out there…salute to anyone that can stay clean
You're such a beautiful person, thank you for this video, it's inspirational
Beautiful lovey good job ❤
Steph, you have taught me so much. I'm not sober but I have had a tumultuous relationship with alcohol for most of my life, I'm 23 now and just so much more thoughtful as to when & why I consume alcohol. I drink way less now and am more thoughtful about how bad it is for me and it's made it a lot easier to say no. I am sure one day I will give it up for good. Thank you so much and you are an inspiration
this warmed my heart to read, thank you so much 🤎 I'm very happy for you!
Great to see you again
☺️💓
Looking good, keep going. I just got off the sauce a month ago.
Great info!
Wow your pics were like night and day you look amazing I hope I have A story like yours . I’m just starting my journey 😊
I stopped drinking 5 years ago. I think if i continued drinking, i would most certainly be dead by now. Probably a heart attack or accident.
love your videos🥰
thank you so much ☺️ that truly means the world 💓
I'm at 40 days today and it's been haaaaaaaard for me. But I know in my heart it's a better life down the road. You look great and that's the proof right there. alcohol made me have suicidal thoughts... It's such a poison in every way. Great video,thank you
Hello from Ireland I'm 14 days off after 20 years drinking your video was very good
I really appreciate this video. Gave me some even more motivation. Quit drinking life has changed tremendously.
Amazing share! I do want to point out that if you don’t wash the entire days worth of bacteria off your face at night, you will absolutely break out. Always wash your face! ❤
what a change you look so beatiful and a lot younger now
starting into this myself - Oct 1 just shut it off - had a few since but realized I was having 2-4 a night and had to stop before I ran into health problems. My sleep has been incredible so far and I have lost a few pounds
congrats!! that's so awesome
I’m 50 days and I already look so much better. The inner critic has quieted and I’m active all day instead of being depressed. I only drank a couple times a month, usually a binge. Alcohol is absolutely terrible on all biological levels.
Happy 17 months!
thank you so much!
I have noticed skin on my face is looking brighter and around the house I can get away with a few dabs of concealer on the dark age spots although they seem to be fading too. So at aged 71 yrs to be able to show myself wearing just a little concealer is a massive change! And I wasn't drinking heavily over past couple of years just wine at weekends 1 bottle shared with Husband 0ne or two nights or one gin an tonic before dinner. However, I have drunk regularly and sometimes too heavily throughout my adult life so I am not boasting.
Nice job! 😊
am 33 years old in South Africa all the benefits you have mentioned i can attest to them i have see all happening to me
You look amazing. Well done. Keep going.
Thank you!
6.5 months sober and I’m never going back. Alcohol is a highly addictive drug, so my experience has been that trying to moderate / control drinking is a complete sham. Once I saw the addiction cycle for what it is, alcohol began to lose its power over me.
I'm into week two without. I never had a full on addiction. I think I'll smoke weed and drink occasionally. I noticed an improvement in my skin.
Hey thanks for such videos , I'm from India its my first week sobar . Help me give it up for ever .
I love this info. You’re looking beautiful girl.
Tomorrow I will be 2 months sober. I don't think I have lost any weight :( But I do sleep a bit better. Best of all I am getting out of my huge debt (also quit smoking)
I used to drink at least two bottles of wine a day for years and years. I was really hoping I would lose some weight, but no...
She looks so much better. Drinking ruins your facial looks and makes you heavier.
Love your videos!!! I’d be really interested to hear all the ways your life/mental state has improved since quitting alcohol?
Hi Claire! Oh this could be an entire video in itself! Some things I can think of off the top of my head are I feel more confident, less anxious, i have better relationships with my friends and family, more productive, feel healthier, etc. The list goes on and on!
5 month in to soberness. I remember dreams and feel better overall . The one thing i have noticed is it seems to affect my mood. I seem to get mad easier now?
Amazing 👏
I am sober day 2 I am trying get better and be healthy please tell me how you did it I want to quit drinking too I just have skin burning by drinking effects by it
you GO GIRL ....xoxoxo
D-Hydrant
it's the Hydrant my dog likes least. Mostly he prefers A-Hydrants and B-Hydrants.
I gave up drinking after 20 years. It started to affect my work, so I gave it up. I am 6 days ago. I am hoping to go 6 months. I started to drink non-alcoholic beer. Is this a healthy alternative ?
Dandelion tea helped my acne along with paleo diet
Day 5 whoop whooppppp
Could you please share your DOB and time and location, i want to know does your Birth-chart related your discussions on start and quit alchol and also life changing activities
Thank you 🙏 l
even going from a very light social drinker to no drinking has resulted in much better skin, also have acne around the mouth area
Try drinking a lot of green tea, I drink about 5 cups (decaf) a day and it has helped a lot with my face and specially with acne.
What brand do you get? I only ever see Bigelow has a decaf green tea at grocery stores.
@@SR_20248 yeah, thats the one I use.
You do look great. More importantly, you look healthy and happy!
I am! that's most important :)
i like that , thanks
anyone know how old she is on the video, I'm no a similar sobriety journey. and about the same age I think.
6:54 i swear to god i thought you said "drunk guys", took my a while to understand what you meant 😂
Lol
Wow!!!! Completely different face.🙏
Not saying this to say or to gas you but you look phenomenal..keep it up😀💪
❤
Awesome, over 7 months of no alcohol for me
I agree about people quitting drinking, but I would be remiss not to remind you to make sure that you make a disclosure that if you’ve been drinking for a very long time it’s likely that you’re going to need detox quitting alcohol if you’re an alcoholic or benzodiazepines are the only two drugs that can kill you if you don’t go through detox. So anybody on this thread who drinks to severity and has done it for quite a while just don’t stop drinking make sure you get into a detox please
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glowed
Up so much you look like the second sun
I'm quitting alcohol and just going to smoke weed instead. I wake up feeling great and chilled instead if feeling like crap.
Thanks. Yeah, it's a fact that quitting booze not only makes your world a better place to be in, any good program or resource like Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever, that’s the best shortcut I go’ogled that took less than 2 weeks to work.
It sounds like you could have been alergic to alcohol, I do think it does a lot bad too regardless of that
Im 21 and addicted
Get out of it, you will manage as you have already committed to being an addict, which is the most important step. 😊
@@elizafaulhammer9518 got out of it 9 weeks ago (:
Drugs, alcohol and tobacco definitely take their toll on your looks.
Rosacea is not caused by alcohol! It’s an inflammatory skin condition that tends to run in families. Alcohol can make it worse because it’s high in histamine, just like spinach, citrus fruits, smoked meats ect.
Drink alcohol no good
I don't really like the term "glow up" it sounds like a japanese person saying "grow up"
also in 10 year it's gonna sound so dated
