At some point the ups aren't worth the downs. 6 hours of fun isn't worth an all day hangover anymore.
Green Envy OR PROBATION
Inebriatd YOU’RE TWICE AS SMART NOW TOO
Green Envy it never was lol
Green Envy you don’t get hungover if you stay drunk
@Inebriatd hydration.
Burr lookin like a youth soccer coach
Looks like a assistent Coach who high fives Jürgen Klopp when Liverpool scores
About as funny as one too
Way to go Bill. Your son will thank you.
He looks great
Big Greasy what does that even mean
Literally one month in of being sober after drinking pretty much everyday for a year. Wish me luck all.
Edit: Thanks for all the support guys. It's been a long road but I'm still pushing and working on sobriety even now.
@@adventureswiththecrazyvet irony. You're too scared to go sober
I will start 1.mai
Atleast i know I’m not the only one
How did it go?
@@Will-xc8hg I had a couple of relapses throughout the last 12 months unfortunately. But I got the drinking under control to the point I don't think about it. Been about 4 months since last relapse (I think? might be 5). Just taking it one day at a time. It gets easier though.
I'm over a year no booze. Best decision I ever made in m life
You can see the pride on his face. And you do feel proud, and so much better physically. I’ll have one year 12/12.
5 years and 2 months, 18 days sober .
At the 5 year mark I think you can stop counting the days.
@@GreenEnvy. days are very important as is hours ,minutes. Every second an alcoholic is sober is a small victory. I know your comment was in good banter and in a good spirit
chris bepo congrats! It’s not easy. Well done Sir.
chris bepo Congrats dude, it isn’t easy
Wow, that's awesome. Good for you Chris.
11 Years and one month sober, Never missed it. Not one bit, not one time. Off the cigarettes a year .. .weed six months. It's only now that I fully realize how much of my life I wasted and how many people I hurt or disappointed. But thank God for my kids they never saw their daddy drunk.
Yeah I don’t want my daughter to associate her dad with always having a drink in his hand. Like that’s what grown ups do. She’s 9 months and I’m really trying to knock this shit off.
@@JH-in5oq 16 month son here and in the same boat. I quit for around a year but somehow found myself back at square one. Now starting again: two weeks in. Good luck mate.
Good job brother 😊
Gay
Same. Add cocaine to that.. big regrets. Trying to change my life as we speak. Good luck.
89 days sober from alcohol. Feel good. Smoke trees. Zero hangovers. Way more productive.
Good job!
Bob Jim - I agree. I think pot is a way, way safer drug than alcohol. But the fact that we use mind-altering substances regularly, if we do, means that we are in some sense, to some extent, sometimes dangerously, sometimes not, dependent.
i ran out of weed and im a recovering alcoholic. this is dangerous times
@@mrqadaffi3638we dont run out in California
cledesma135 we so in new zealand unfortunately. ah well guess ita off to relapse lol. nah kidding but really, its so stupid it is illegal here
I legit just relapsed Saturday and went on a 5 day bender of no food, cheap brandy and 5 stays at the motel 6. Only reason I stopped is because I ran out of money. Yesterday I felt like I was going to die from the hangover, anxiety, shortness of breath, unrest, no balance in my walk almost stumbling over, kidneys hurting, today is day 2 of not drinking and I improved a lot more than what I was feeling yesterday. I still can’t operate a vehicle and not even going to attempt it(my car is safely stored at my brothers house and been there since my first day of drinking). I can’t wait to feel normal again. I hit a new low but we can only do better. Guys, don’t drink and please reach out if you have a problem.
Praying for you man 🙏
@@angijac18 this guys probably dead by now
How u doing these days?
I’m not doing coke this year.
Kody godspeed dude 🤝
more for me
I prefer Pepsi myself but coke is alright too
Y Marina What happens the day after?
Y Marina once you come down it’s all downhill from there
Love these clips you are putting up lately
Next month will be a year sober for me 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Good for him. He looks less pasty and his face slimmed down
My dad gave me the best dad advice when I went to college that I think bill would appreciate. He said "you're gonna be around people partying and get hammered and blacked out drunk, but it's not about throwing back shots and blacking out, it's about knowing how to keep your buzz all day long." Great advice. I had my fun but never regretted the drinking
11 years and feeling goood
Cash Job Quoting Secrets - Pat Dundee F yeah brother. I just hit a year and know I'm done for the rest of my time on earth. Never talked to so many girls at the bar since.
@@alexdefatte5202 why are you at bars? And why are you talking to drunk women? That's some creepy shit lol
That's awesome ! 😎
Oliver Clothesoff Umm not that it's any of your business but I enjoy eating wings and playing pool with my friends and women take notice to who's not drinking and usually flock. You're the creepy one talking strangers online. Lol get a life you judgemental little bitch : )
@@alexdefatte5202 lmao did I strike a cord pussy? Because what it sounds like is your trying to take advantage of drunk women. Because your right women do notice the guy who's not drinking, and usually avoid them because they have a problem or are a Bill Cosby.
I’m on year 4.
Congrats bro!
Good shit. Keep it up.
Congrats! How do you feel
@@wigertoods8901 great. I wasn't an alcoholic. but felt I would be in 20 years. I was the typical weekend binge drinker
Brandon Erwin I hear you there. I’m that guy as well. I’m always mind blown at how much better I feel after not drinking for even a single weekend let a lone a month off. Anyways congrats man!
bill: "Death comes from the mouth" well said!
2 years. Sober October got me this far.
thank you for putting clips up near the uploading of the podcast, not months later. keep up the good work!
Lol
He's a really great person for quit drinking he doesn't fear alcohol he decides when he drinks
Currently 10 days sober and just got over DTs for the 3rd time in my life. You'd think such things would stop you from ever touching something so disgusting again but even during them, and now, I'm craving alcohol like I'm starving. I dare not go to the shops in case i leave with a liter of vodka. When i was a teenager/young 20s binge drinking i thought all these people older than me getting addicted to this degree were just terrible people who choose to be the way they are but life experience has proven to me no sane person would choose what I and countless other people go through with alcohol addiction, and it seriously is an absolutely harrowing disease of the mind AND body. 1 day at a time.
So true about “I don’t do shots”...been doing that one for a long time.
" Too much work for a shitty buzz" - Jesse Hughes from Eagles of Death Metal on the topic of drinking
That's what happens when you build up a tolerance...you now have to "work" for your buzz because it takes so much to get one.
Bill stay sober. You look way healthier.
After 10 years of hardcore drinking i walked away from it in Dec 2002. No meetings, no rehab, no sponsors... cold Turkey, just quit. Surprisingly, not difficult at all. I never once craved alcohol since i quit. I believe it's because of the absolute hatred i had for drinking at the time i quit. I had so many problems in the 10 years of debauchery. It made me completely hate alcohol.
I quit using hard drugs the same way. Did it all on my own. My biggest reason to stop was flaky dealers. I hated waiting with a passion. 4 hours in some parking lot just to get stepped on bulls h i t. A deep disdain for something is a powerful motivator.
Ur dealers had zero respect for u…ur like the fat girl that gets the 3am text. Work on that
I'm proud of BB, I'm trying to quit being sober for 1.5 months and it has been great.
you're trying to quit being sober? best of luck, man.
I'm officially 3 weeks off the booze. I was really inspired by a friend of mine who's more than a year sober. He's an alcoholic and was drinking most days. He's completely different now in the best way possible. While I wouldn't consider myself an alcoholic, I do enjoy a drink but I'm no longer seeing any benefits to doing it. It's very early days, but you've gotta start somewhere, right?
"The thinking man's drunk." Lol
Congrats! Up with Hope
Down with Dope!
May will 6 years for me, no regrets, always look forward!! It's a wild process feeling your body and brain return to normal.
They always talk about my drinking but never my thirst.
This is nice.
Wow. That's deep. Thank you. ☺
I am now 20 minutes sober
Dev 5 mins over here.
I was right there with you but I've just got another scotch and another beer... back to square one
That's an excellent way to phrase it. I'm using that one.
That's a fast half life of a drug
I'm about 12 hours sober.
I quit drinking about five months ago
Right on man. 5 years here. Keep feeling good about yourself.
Good work guys!!
Congrats man ! Hang in there and stay strong. God bless 😎
Guys, nobody likes a quitter.
It takes about 3 months to create a habit... good or bad. The 1st week is always the hardest. Whether it's getting into shape, eating healthy, quitting any substances. Look at the finish line as a goal and then you will have the power to continue.
Hard to see the finish line when you dont know what it looks like. Some dont even remember what sobriety feels like. Most started drinking because they were trying to escape something that found them in sobriety. Just my $0.02.
I agree it's hard to see the finish line. It's also hard to look from the outside in. I shamed myself into quitting smoking. Every time I would light up and would tell myself what a loser I am, and how weak I am for not being able to do it. Till one day it just clicked. It wasn't easy, but I did it. I also quit opiates, that was a hard one. I knew I didn't want to do it anymore, but the fear of withdrawal is more of a mental thing than a physical thing. Don't get me wrong, it fucking sucks! But you know in your mind there is a quick fix to feel better. That there is what gives you so much anxiety.
@@paperbox819 damn that is a good idea I will have to try that. Thank you and be proud of how far you have come. I really don’t know who I am without cigarettes.
I am addicted to Bill Burr. I see him and I click !!!
Am 23 now. Hangovers became unbearable around 2 years ago and haven't been 'stupidly' drunk since. Still drink beer and wine, but never enough to get a real hangover. Love it
Haha you ain't seen nothing yet.
Great to read below all the success stories , well done , now about 15 months for me
Excellent!
I didn't get hangovers anymore. I quit 11 years ago. I would've died if I kept going.
Congratulations! I'm at 2 years myself.
@@Matt-lu6so Thank you. Congratulations on your 2 years !
Dude , that is huge. God bless. ☺
I've only been hung over twice, maybe 3x in my life. Been a blessing and a curse to not get hangovers
Craig M you just don’t drink enough
@@brockharrison8755 you have no idea who ur talkin to kid.
Guy on the right is spot on. Yesterday I had two beers, the third I poured out, knowing it would ruin my day today, and tbh...drinking has become totally pointless. Nothing good really ever came out of it.
Yep!
U couldn’t save that beer ? u had to go all Holy Ghost on is? Fucking fuck
I don't know about that. All the funnest memories and stories involve drinking and drugs. That being said, sobriety is still great
Nice.. I'm about 95 days sober and it's so much better being present and clear-headed in my life.
Bruh that outdo scared the shit out of me
For me, the fun dwindled while the hangovers intensified so I quit too. Its great actually sleeping and not waking up with a pounding headache and riddled with anxiety. I had fun for a while...it really helps with getting laid...but it stops being fun afterwhile
"I was drinkin' this stuff called Kentucky Owl. Hoo!" :D
Love that A Train jersey chillin in the back
I'm going on 10. Good luck Bill
10 minutes? that's insane. Somebody get this guy a drink before he has a seizure
guy in the middle sounds like one of the fantasy footballers
18 months here. 👍. The key is KEEPING YOURSELF DISTRACTED. Golf, gym, fishing, jogging, being a foodie, pets, can help. But yes ,the 90 day mark is significant, God bless.
I'm not doing hookers this year
Hold your horses there now let's not be too hasty
Whoa take it easy buddy it’s alright baby steps
Blasphemy!!!
whoa whoa whoa let's not make any hasty decisions now
You a bad boy
Pffft!!....my tenth year coming up fast!! Good on you bill !!!
I haven't had a drink in a couple months after feeling like it was stopping me from dealing with my anxiety issues. I've sorted out the source of my issues, but the urge to drink hasn't come back.
KINGofGUNS Drinking eventually makes anxiety get worse
1 minute in inspired to keep drinking
Finally found the comment I'm looking for.. literally 1 minute into this video....
I need a drink Jesus Christ Almighty.
Billy's wife has him by the ballls.
🍻
I have drinking rules myself
1. No drinking on Monday( unless a special occasion)
2. No drinking on consecutive days
I need shit like this to know I’m not alone and also have such articulate cool guys say what I’m thinkin and stuff
I think you would like " Theo von : why I got sober ". It's pretty deep how much he shares.
Mark Travels thanks man yeah I’ve actually seen that a couple times haha
I will subscribe to barstool gold just for this full video. Plus extra Donnie content
Congrats Bill! 👊
Thankfully I am nearly 3 days of the drink I nearly went back on it this morning but I didn't give in I am going to do everything in my will power to get sober and stay sober fair play bill good man for giving up drinking it's a course drinking
I love quitting drinking. Ive done it many times
Love the hat!!! YNWA
8 months sober after drinking every day for 2 years straight during covid and 5 er visits. I still miss it but its been completely worth it. I tried moderately and maybe i can in the future but for now its so much better going day to day without that constant urge to drink when the slightest thing happens
Hammered!!!
I would have sworn I would never get tired of drinking. About 8 months ago it just wasn't the same for some reason. Now I really can't stand alcohol. Love the feeling but not enough to continue.
Same. I tried for a like a whole year to keep drinking even though I hated everything about it. Was in total denial and completely programmed like all the other sheep to think "it's what people do." When you actually take an analytical look at the bar scene and drinking culture you'll begin to realize what an absolute abhorrent joke it all is. They've tricked us into poisoning ourselves so that we stay fat, miserable and unhealthy in order to make money and keep us reliant on their products and big pharma. Same goes with fast food.
I'm 7 days sober tomorrow. I've drank hard liquor most days for the last 10+ years. I bought two beers earlier today because i was geeking out a little. I thought one or twl would help take the edge off a little.
They're still in the fridge.
I dont know if i should throw them out or just leave them there for "little victories" every day.
Bill rocking the Liverpool Football Club cap.
August 11th, 2019, last one. Smooth sailing now.
Proud to say I'm off the crack for a whole ass day :D
Now that’s a hell of a drug
I have been T-Total for 15 years now. The first year sucked big time. Now I don't miss it one bit.
im going on 15 months sober from opiates, coke, crake, meth... you name it... ive died four times been arrested approx 10 been to detox about 20 times... ive tried quitting million times... when the metamorphosis is complete you can feel it within you... im 32 years old and battled addiction to drugs (yes alcohol is included quit separating them). I have a brand new strategy to battle addiction and to overcome it
I have a hard time staying sober, I'm not going to sugarcoat the fact that I'm an alcoholic.
I ruined my girlfriend's birthday party by getting arrested, got beat up by family members on my side. I'm a mess when it comes to alcohol.
Bill really helps with his podcasts, and when he gets told he looks good I remember the small amount of times when I was sober for a couple of days and people told me that I look good, it's not worth it. I dont know if you guys in America have the saying "alcohol runs more things than you love". Its the god damn truth
Kids can help you stay sober, or they can drive you to drink.
Bloodjinn Rowan 100% agree. I never understood what a mother’s little helper meant until I had my kid.
😂 That’s pry about some of the truest shit I ever heard and I don’t even have kids.
I developed acute pancreatitis from alcoholism earlier this year. I went cold turkey for a month and slowly started back into an occasional beer. Every damn day is a struggle when I've spent so many years of my life perpetually drunk to the point I don't know who I am sober. I used to hate the label "alcoholic" because once you're labeled one, you're always one. This past year has taught me the utter truth to that reality. It's tough out here, but you just have to take it one day at a time. I'm glad Bill found a reason to stop drinking, though unfortunately he'll most likely get back on the wagon at some point because the truth is....you can't make the decision to stop drinking because of someone else. You have to make that decision for yourself and only yourself....that's the only way it will truly have any merit. I'm just rambling here, but for anyone who reads this and struggles with this....just keep working at it. One day at a time
Thank you
Bill still doesn’t drink, how about you?
@@TheOwenator94 actually failed sober October this year. Made it 17 days
At 30, I was working out like crazy, so my hangovers were really manageable - way better than when I was in my mid 20's, smoking cigarettes and out of shape.
But I let myself go a bit in the past two years, and the hangovers returned with the excessive fat. So I'd say worry about your shape more than about your age.
You will come back and edit your comment in 10 years, trust me
Bill with the Liverpool cap . Well done bill
Was sober for 4 days and drank last night. I’m glad I did because it reminded how much hang overs suck and how useless I was last night.
Loving billy ballbags hat
I'm 33 and I'll drink usually only on Fridays with some cocktails, beers and sometimes a shot or 2. Never rly have a hangover other than feel bleary eyed the first hour of Saturday morning.
I'd just like to stop boozing for a bit to give my body a rest since I'm not so young anymore but also to shed some lbs and also be more productive as I hear when one waits to reward oneself with booze it kinda shuts them off from using weekends for other rewards and outings.
I tried to drink moderately (less than 3 drinks per day, no more than two days in a week) but I ended up feeling sicker. So I just don't drink at all now. The whole "moderate drinking" is bs if you ask me, it just entices you to buy more alcohol per week.
@@theskiesaredark there is something to that. Like one drink is fine and my body doesn't mind. But if I have 3 its like a tease and gives me a buzz but then it's gone quickly and I feel dehydrated and tired 😪
Good for Bill.
Congrats Bill
My new years resolution is to do more drugs tbh.
I'm sober too much.
Lucky bastard. Stop bragging
If you need a sponsor to keep you on track and committed to drugs I'll be your guide
@@dadaistvenusflytrap2339 😂
@@N-e-o1 just doing my part for the community haha
I support this movement
I have too & it honestly doesn’t feel like an accomplishment. Going to dinner, weddings, family gatherings just feels a lot more awkward without drinking. Anxiety remains high in situations where a drink would have totally calmed me down. Sobriety is honestly a double edged sword, just like alcohol.
Go Billy!
Wondering if Bill ever made drinking limits (only X drinks/night or week) before going cold turkey...
CZcams suggested this video and I want my 4 mins back. The conversation about such an interesting topic couldn't be more emppty than this.
That woosh at the end scared the fuxk out of me
Jan 19, 2020 will be 1 year for me and 1st Marathon in Arizona!
being hammered all the time isnt social
the last party i was invited to. i got sober , stayed sober . i was the sensible person . until i finally got home and out drank everyone from the night before
I seem to be opposite of the normal. As I got older, I got less and less hungover. I'm 32 now. When I was 19-20, my hangovers was Hell on Earth.. Now, I might get.a slight headache. Well, sometimes, I do get fucked up, but not often. - But I'm almost two months sober now, except for three days around Halloween.
I didn't start drinking till I had kids 😂
Ivd cut down in a sense that i'll only have 6 beers each night on the weekends, and no more drinking during the week. Its the most ive cut back so far. But 6 beers doesnt even really give you a buzz and im starting to feel like it isnt even worth drinking anymore. Wish me luck!
Four years and five months (but who's counting) - cold turkey. After 40 years and never missed a day (but one). I really must get around to starting again, someday...
Only downside is I STILL have a hangover, first thing. EVERY fkn day!!!
I only drink on 2 occasions. When im thirsty & when im not.
Looked up Kentucky Owl bourbon to see what ol billy drinks...
YEP, at that price I will never know/care how good it is. Lol good god!! $$$
Gratulation Im COMPLETE SOBER SINS 4 WEEKS NOW
I am the thinking man's drunk lol well put Bill
I just can’t imagine not drinking. It’s ingrained in my routine.
I used to be the same way, now I barely even think about it any more. Sober for 3 years 8 months. Lost about 25 lbs, work out every day now, have a ton more time for my hobbies. Ask yourself whether you truly want your life to be defined by a drug.
Can tell Bill likes Big cat lot more than pft
Anyone who wears sunglasses 24/7 is shady and not to be trusted.
It’s because PFT has been riding the coattails of Big Cat since 2016
Wow I wonder why he would feel that way. It's just so funny when PFT derails an interview by referencing history. So wacky!
YNWA B!
Ol’ Billy no fun
Bill Burr is a beast!! Sun glasses indoors, wtf....
He’s wearing a Liverpool FC cap?
