Literally day 60 for me and the difference is night and day. I was a bottle of wine a day person. I’m now off blood pressure meds/ oesophagitis meds, I’ve lost half a stone but look like I’ve lost more, I sleep better, my mood is stable, outlook more positive and I look five years younger. I’ll be honest, sometimes I miss that initial buzz ethanol gave me but I don’t miss the destruction it also caused. It simply isn’t worth it. Keep going everyone!
I was in a similar situation..a bottle of wine a night..I could feel myself literally slipping away..day 11 today and i feel much better..can't wait to hit day 60 like you..
Well done you. I'm the same was a bottle of wine a night (sometimes more). Just finished 61 days. So relieved.
@@letitiarosenthal2286 well done you
@@Nicholasgeoffreycarter yay to you Nick! Keep going, if you really want this you’ll do it!
@@letitiarosenthal2286 well done!!!!
Today is day 50 for me, feeling absolutely fantastic. Anxiety, depression, bloated face, irregular heart beat, anger, etc all gone. Take the leap!
Still at it! Today is Day 136 🙌🏻 take the leap y’all.
@@JustADude1900ishawesome man. Around 22 for me. I’m liking it
Day 53 for me . Im going for 90 and who knows maybe forever.
thats how i started out. 1 week turned into 5 years. Never missed it tbh. surprising for a 30 year hard drinker like myself but i dont miss it at all
I've stopped now for 30 days after many attempts. I can't wait to do another 30 days. Thanks Kevin for being here for your friends. Onwards and upwards.
How are you now?
Month 8 here. Changes your life.
“Nothing is hard when you set your mind to it” that’s a quote I’m saying to my self one month from now when I become sober.
One week left. Hope you're doing well
I just did 59 days. For the first time I didn’t enjoy having a drink. After an hour I couldn’t even finish one. It tasted bad and the thought of drinking is still so unappealing to me. Back to better choices and being sober 👍
Smart Man Michael...U'll never miss it tbh. And u will never regret stopping it! That's 100%!
good, it means your not an alcoholic, likely.
@@LiveGoodSMW I ended up going back to moderation shortly after this comment. Realized I no longer like alcohol. At around day 10 now. I don’t think I’ll have that temptation again now that I’m sure I don’t want to drink but we shall see! I don’t have strong urges/binges. Definitely not as severe as many people have it.
@@newyorkvisionary fight the bee now or fight the beehive later...just a fyi.
When PTSD happens like with the current situation going on in the world, that little voice makes me want to drink, but I dont.
hear you, i feel it also
things seem to glide more easily, keys go I doors easier, tasks are easier, there is more understanding and forbearance towards others I have found
Agreed! Especially the key thing ;)
Frustration level go way down. Start seeing a bit more of reality is also nice.
What a great way to word it
I have 60 days sober this Sunday. I don’t think about it much during the day while working. Weekends and weeknights are still a little hard. I think of future engagements like football parties or cookouts. People say those get easier, but it really is boring. Lol! The good thing is waking up after those parties and not feeling like pure shit!!! So I think I can handle the boring! 60 freaking days. Never thought I could do it.
Congratulations!!!! I feel the same and I can sometimes dread public outings. I hate the thought of someone offering me a drink or someone asking why I’m not drinking. 😭
That’s awesome! Keep going! I’m at 30 days today! One day at a time!
Hi Kevin sometimes I think you have a crystal ball into my life when I hear your talks. I have been doing great, and then on my 59th day I had my brain fart, as you call it. I was leaving my friend's to go home, evening was falling, (my drinking danger time zone), and suddenly I was entertaining the thought of going home via the drive through bottle shop, and how wonderful, that red wine was going to be. I was fully emersed in the imaginary scenario. My "Gollum" was jabbering away at me, "Only this once, and you can get back to it tomorrow". I was so close to doing it, I was shocked and dismayed at the intensity of the desire for the alcohol. It was the worst since I've stopped. I drove home ignoring the bottle shop, ate dinner and the crisis was averted. Happily just finished day 61 and now after watching this video, I realise those little brain farts will happen, and just need to be swatted away, and just keep plodding. Next time it happens I'll try to remember to have some humour and tell Gollum to "Sod off". Plodding on now towards 90 days 😀
I'm on day 5 😢
👍🏻
Great advice. Lost my mate last week to alcoholism. I've quit permanently now.
Just hit 66 days. All okay so far - just occasional urges that I've managed to quell. Brain farts - exactly! Mostly I miss it in the evenings, when settling down to watch a movie. All I have to do is remember that I can now actually remember the ends of the movies! The benefits are psychosomatic. Just thinking to myself 'I haven't drunk for a long time, and I don't need to drink, and my body is clean of alcohol' makes me feel physically better. I don't get so tired, and whatever tiredness I have is natural. I'm sleeping better. I'm eating better. I'm not an alcoholic, but I was certainly drinking more than I should - mainly during evenings and days off. So I probably could go back to it without any really drastic consequences. But you know what? I don't want to. The brief buzzes of drinking aren't worth the long-term buzz of being clean.
Day 92 for me & remarkably easy, which really really surprised me……
I want to feel this warmth all the time
58 days, which is the longest time I haven't had any alcohol at all since the 1980s. I feel really groggy in a morning which I put down to rem sleep, I'm not used to it.
yeah that brain fog when ya wake up is the real deal. It passed for me but it took awhile
Great work! How’s it going today!?
9 weeks now. Still going strong. Things are going ridiculously well for me atm. I do have to say tho, It's a little bit of a critical period. Sometimes the thought of drinking can be intrusive, and since things are going so well the drinker brain is trying to use that as a justification to go back to my old ways. It goes something like this
"Well you've basically unf€%^ed yourself in two months, so why not just have a few?"
Gotta stay strong!
Once again, thx for your videos!
I'm on day 68 today 🙌
Day 57 no drinks here 🎉
Just hit day 60. I drank every day for years and years. The biggest difference is appetite change, weight control, less body pain, less headaches, difference at the toilet, and better blood flow
No more Hershey squirts?
@@themaestro5946haha no more
Day 45 for me. I used to avoid videos like these because I was justifying drinking and felt guilty.
58 days, lots of things happened, relationship broke, i painted all my downstairs doors. But i dont feel good more stress sometimes, sometimes very clear.
yeah...for me i think it was my brain chemistry leveling out. Def a lil bit of a roller coaster and day to day for sure. It ended
345 Days Sober Today🎉🎉🎉🎉
wow! Congrats! day 14.. for me..
Yes you’re brain does become clearer my brain is never been better going on 6 years being Sober and loving every minute of it and can do things now I could before because of the drinking try and think positive every day Bill
69 days no drinking for me. I'm only 37 and had to stop for health reasons which I'm figuring out (may have fibrosis or gilbert's syndrome). It made it easier knowing my health was on the line.
But I still think about it, dream about it. Still nervous about social events, still adapting.
I never thought I would make it this far. Didnt think I had much willpower, but I was wrong. Whoever is reading this, you are stronger than you can imagine, just give yourself a chance and stay with it. It is a great feeling, the clarity you experience from abstaining from alcohol.
Day 70 here I had to stop because of health issues too. I'm not sure if it's my pancreas or what, but I hope I didn't quit too late.
@@ReapingTheHarvest I hope you're doing well. I found it I have a fatty liver, made it 6 months, and am only drinking for special occasions, maybe once every couple months.
once i made it 3 months i was looking to making it to 6 months and then a year hit. Ohhhh the jouney and one i will forever be greatfull and proud of. All ya got to do is want it people and its there for free
Well done :)
I hope to be there
When the pain of not changing is greater than the pain of changing, then you are well and truly ready. Way to go!
@@snu3877 Alot of truth to that statement
At least a year with a single drink. 😊
Day 5 for me, not constant thoughts but I do get the idea in my mind. I am a heavy beinge drinker on my off days 10 to 18 beers. But still had atleast 5 every day for the past 8 years. I'm so done. Its already started affecting my health. One day at time. Thank you for your videos!
Don't give in, my friend.
No sir, I wont!!
Same deal, I've done several 2 week bouts of sober this year but I wasn't truly letting go and seeing it as a break - too much rationalizing just a break. Something in my soul changed this time about it and I don't know what but I feel a deep peace in the act of closing that chapter of drinking. A huge peace overwhelming the act.
I notice with persistence, the alcohol becomes more and more shameful and the mind becomes more aware of how it's no longer enjoyable but just a numbing while drinking - starts to become only poison and there's a greater awareness of all the negative effects hyper-focused among the positives that become shorter and shorter lived with an obviously greater boost from a good solid workout that lasts hours and a good rest that leaves a mind feeling grounded and capable. Good breathwork and rest and waking up to read a good book about something really meaningful we've put off, something the more authentic self lives for.
I’m just bored with life. No alcohol feels like no fun to me. I was sober for a year and just felt life was ok but no real fun. I’m trying to keep it to Friday and Saturday nights now. I don’t know. I sure wish there was a healthy substitute for the way it makes me feel. Some new drug that was less harmful but gave you the same feeling of carelessness.
Excellent video. You’ve mentioned things I haven’t heard before. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very inspiring Kevin.
Thanks for this, people like you make a difference to people like me, respect.
Glad to help
thank you so much! this really was helpful as i'm moving to 60 days!
Good Luck, 60 days today.
4 months dry woohoo!
Thank you. I needed this today.
Today is day 2. I want it to stick this time. I want to be alcohol free. Any advice is appreciated.
How's it going?
@@nigelgibson2242 3 weeks and a couple days totally alcohol free! Thanks!
@@raneylee9617 day 14 for me today... I hope this finds you having a great day... Wish me luck..
I'm 2 months in and one of the major changes is that although boredom was challenging at first the first month; the second month though is great because you just feel better and feel *more*; brain becomes just way better!
2 months for me now and I had what you call a brain fart yesterday. I was thinking to myself how it would be cool to get a very nice bottle of wine for Xmas day and for my birthday only, enjoy them and then stay off it. I went ten years without drinking in the past (age 44 to 54, I am 58 now) and the special occasions is exactly how I started again. Special occasions became every Sunday, every Sunday and Saturday then Friday nights and then back on it big time with the occasional benders that are the reason that I can't trust myself with drinking.
I'm watching this video while been intoxicated. There's no impact on me but, I've been watching the your videos while I've been sober, that's when they get some sense.
Note to myself, stop drinking to forget about your problems.
God speed!!!
Day 10 for me.
Your videos are really helping.
Thanks.
Keep at it. the hard part physically is going to be over soon. Prepare for the mental part after day 30 or so. Good luck
@n2cable thank you.. I'm determined to stick to it, its the boredom at night that I'm finding difficult and sleeping.
Glad to hear that!
@@Nicholasgeoffreycarter ohhh man - the sleep thing. Hate to sound like a broken record cause i know you have heard it before but exercise and for me I added Sleepy time herbs. Take it about an hour before my set bed time. If I had it to do all over againi think i would incorporate and learned some meditation along with quiet time wind down with a book or crafting time. It took awhile but sleep will be there...try to get in a habit and you'll get there but even though its "Tiresome"(LOL) and seems to take forever to get on a schedule you will get there. Best of luck and sweet dreams soon
@n2cable hi again. So yeh i started exercising,2 hrs walking around the mountains of where I live. Thanks for the encouragement,it really means a lot.. i hope you are doing great too!!!😊
I'm 40 days quit. Most physical stuff has re-balanced. It's now a mind game. I see Alcohol as a mate that was so needy and demanding of my time. I get the odd call from him/her (brain fart), but that time I gave is now mine again. I say to my best x drinking buddy. "Apart from those 3-5 hour mad drinking sessions as mates, everything is now better. Everything. So they had to go. And he agrees.
What I have begun to discover is just how much drinking for fun and stress relief was changing my life. You don't really understand just how much it does shape your life, your thinking, and you habits. I like the change being out from "under" the influence. And I think UNDER is a good term.
Day 56 for me .. lost the taste of it , don’t think about it daily but it did cause me to be more homebody bc dinners , sports stadiums , ect all came with alcohol .. yes I can do it without it but I just have no interest .. also I just need to get over anxiety .. always had it but the alcohol covered it up but so now I feel it more and have to rebuild sober confidence. I did lose weight and face way more attractive lol overall im just happy im
Not a drunk anymore and I know my body thanking me.
Thanks for sharing this. Homebody now and building sober confidence really hits home.
I do not showers at night but cold showers along with WIM hof breathing in the mornings
Day 35. This is the longest I have gone in...14 years? In recent years I had it under control in that I could drink one or two without the desire for more. I am enjoying the better sleep, clear skin, losing weight without trying, and having waaaay more motivation, time, and money. Tip for ya'll: 100% tart cherry juice. It's anti-inflammatory, has tryptophan, potassium, loads of antioxidants! I find drinking a glass in the evening is a good substitute for wine.
Interesting.
I’m 50 days in 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amazing work!
Day 60 yoday for me 🎉
Had a long period being alcohol free from October to late December(allowed myself just a few over Christmas)but back to not drinking now.Definitely notice a difference less anxiety,more energy,better mood etc the kick from alcohol is very short term and you pay for it in the short and long term it ain't worth it.
Just keep swimming, everyone ❤
7 weeks
Days after its the downess I suffer.. How long will it last??? I substituted other drugs for the drink.. I wish I never!!!! I want 60 days free from. Well done to all!!!
I was told 3 months 6 months 9 months an a year are all the milestones to beware of xox
I think exercise will give you that dopamine hit or sweet food
Those are all milestones but the biggest one for me was the day i said no more and stuck to my word. Keep going...U'll get there
I've noticed I drink far and away to much coffee since I stopped about 70 days back. Its crazy, anyone else?
I just hit 30 days today...but was also a HUGE coffee drinker too...like 72 oz a day ...ive cut down the coffee bigtime the last 2 weeks...doing about 15oz a day now...coffee is a hard habit to quit but thats on my list next! Good luck to you
Im 8 months sober and I seem to be drinking lots of coffee ☕
Hit 72 days sober today..... No one told me about the chocolate and ice cream craving...
Only on day 6 and it's not my coffee intake that worries me it's how I can nap after drinking a big mug of it
Yep same here .. ice cream and coffee !
Those brain farts have got me a few times, sneak attack and its easiest to say you win. 30 days 1 bottle then back sober next day...except one bottle put me back in withdrawal back to square one... i will be ready i hope for next sneak attack brain fart

What's the point of trying
Your health and freedom. Being able to become the best version of yourself. You are worth it.
One drink- one drunk 😢
Thanks for your awesome videos. I quit 33 days ago, I was drinking every other night for 8 months, I quit abruptly when I grew tolerance to it.
So 4-5 days after that I caught a fever, seemed viral in nature, had a bad throat infection and cough, 4 days into the fever, I developed a weird delirium, brain fog, strangeness in my vision, extreme fatigue.
Now that terribly disturbing thing has stayed with me ever since. MRI and EEG was done twice, first time they saw a focal seizure disorder in EEG, after 7 days, EEG was normal, MRI of the brain also came normal.
Things are getting better slowly, my memory and thinking is about 50 percent of my Norma ability now which was way worse, this is without medication, I am just taking a l carnosine supplement for 14 days now, don't know how much it helped.
Could a sudden withdrawal caused wernicke korsakoff syndrome? The first time the neurologist said my brain was being bombarded with too many thoughts, basically stress because I never told them about the alcohol thing.
Is such delirium and vision in efficiency possible from sudden alcohol withdrawal? How long does it last?
Thinking at a normal pace is really difficult now, I am just feeling lazy and feeling a lack of confidence and ambition which I was known for before, I feel very indifferent to everything, mood has been normal.
I just wanna get out of this shithole of a place I am in. Doctors here get annoyed if asked too many questions.
Your answer would be very helpful.
It's not likely. Usually that type of damage associated with long term drinking
@@HabitsV2 Thank you sir. For your response.
That's the secret.
When you go in a Pub or Bar, the people are not interested in anything but themselves.
It takes a personal change for the other person to realise that they want something of what you have.
You won't make good friends in a pub.
It's the same as if you were hanging around with lads who were all chasing the dragon... You decide to stop but you still want to go hang out with them when they're high on smack...
Sorry fellas, as noble and healthy as it is to abstain ( I want to quit alcohol forever) you won't get laid or socialize. This is a brutal truth of sobriety.
Haha... that's part of the brainwashing. I socialize far more without being medicated with alcohol than I did when I was drinking. As far as getting laid is concerned, when you're body and brain are working correctly, you'll have no problem in that department either.
That's not true. I know that it's hard to make new friends as an adult, but get yourself out there! Some women are attracted to men who are physically and mentally healthy, btw 😘
