I had strong urges to drink last night. In the past I had watched my feet mechanically take me to the door, car, and liquor store. Last night I let my feet mechanically take me home. No matter how big an urge I had to drink, the urge did not itself intoxicate me. I "kept the alcohol out of my mouth". This morning I woke up not hung over and hurting, but feeling even and good. Presto!
Good on you .. keep it up.
You never regret the drink you didn't have yesterday!
@@HabitsV2 Oh I like that. Good one to remember.
Hangovers = "wtf are you doing to yourself" - brain
Omg I wanted to pull over tonight after work and get me a cocktail in a can I’ll get two because they’re 10% alcohol and I would be twisted off two!! I thought about how crappy I would feel in the morning after the buzz wears off if I would’ve gave In to the craving so I went home and started journaling I love how good I feel in the morning without that poison ☠️
Very challenging yesterday. Been off it 3 weeks, was hosting my best friends emigrating away party. BBQ, whisky beer was flowing but I managed to resist. Ended up having a great weekend socialising and waking up feeling refreshed and clear headed today. My secret is to EAT and fill up asap then I have no desire to drink.
So many times I wished I had not drank at social events and celebrations when I was younger... So I could now remember them well, and I also would have been better behaved at them.
Well done.
Thanks for the tip! Nice work 👍
A massive well done :)
Me too, just enjoy food, as long as I'm not drinking, I'm winning.
Been a little over a week. Had a dream today i was hanging with friends and turned down liquor. I was sort of outcasted and ridiculed but decided To leave. I woke up feeling like i was having withdrawl headache and shadow boxed for 20 minutes straight. Took a shower and feel proud of myself. This channel has helped a lot.
Many addicts can't really know whey they drink. So much confusion and traumas that has happened past and hard realizing the triggers. I been now drinking more often last 4 years, but last 2 has been tough, before that I was off 7 years not a drop of alcohol and before that 7 year I was drinking age between 18 to 26, I had some break 2 years due the prison, but even after 2,6 years in prison I still went and drink the day I got out of jail, so.. It's been journey, I became believer in christ, and I think it does give me strength to fight and makes drinking sessions more difficult, coz It is more like spiritual battle we dealing with.
I got a lot from this video I'm nearly 2 weeks sober I feel great except I wake at 3 am every night but I'm working on that
My journey starts today...my partner and my family mean more!❤❤
How is it going?
Congratulations I’m a week sober we got this
I’m not sure why this particular video filled my eyes with tears but it did. I’m very afraid but I want a sober life so badly. I am very hard on myself and will try to change that. I am so grateful you will be here through this journey ❤
You’ll get there keep on trying one step at a time you fall off dust yourself off and try again!!! I’m a week sober and I feel so good my days are so much better now without that poison ☠️
The best way is share your struggle open your heart don't be ashamed. I felt so ashamed to recognise and realize I am an alcoholic.
I live with someone that is constantly triggering me to drink, I think the only way forward is to find a new living arrangement because ive been able to stay sober for long periods when im not around this person but lately the most I can manage is 2-3 days and I know this poison is killing me, thanks for the vid Kevin!
What about this person is causing you to drink do you think? Do they stress you out with their behavior?
I am living with a same person, he drink and I just stop drinking. I know isn't easy when a bottle is there. But I almost fall back drinking when he was away just because it happened to came my birthday. Comunicat is the way to stop drinking, is a hard way but all we can do it
55 days 19 hours sober here. First thing I did after detoxing at a hospital was buying beer, vodka and weed since all of them are time limited (beer sale ends at 20.00, 18.00 on saturday and closed sunday) Weed sale is open 3 hours every other day (this is in Norway where everything sucks except welfare). It sounds weird having all that available, but it gives me a feeling of control. It's like a physical evidence that all of those items are still sealed and I'm in charge of it instead of the other way around. I tend to remind myself of the negative aspects of drinking and smoking such as reduced cognitive ability, losing my license (Never driven under the influence, but laws are very strict and even doctos have to tell the authorities if you seek help) as well as saving money to buy something of real value. House, car, instruments, tools, parts for my computer...etc. Trying not to reminds myself that I will be stuck in a shitty job forever and never be able to afford my own home because of ridiculous prices...
58 days in ans the damned cravings on saturday was horrible.. nearly gave in. So glad i didn't...your videos help thank u
Thanks Kevin. Today is six weeks alcohol free for me. And I am feeling disappointed i have not become more productive. Im still tired and unmotivated. But I refuse to spend the rest of my life in a stupor. I wasted enough years.
Six weeks is no small task the motivation and productivity will come. Getting sleep and resting is the game early on everything else will come. Nice work.
Rome wasnt built in a day. It took us a lot of time drinking to get where we had been, so it naturally will take a good amount of time being sober for us to feel better. Also, as addicts we want things right away. A bottle of booze delivered feelings right away. I myself wanted life to become super productive and straightened out days into not drinking. I have to realize patience and steadfastness is what I need right now.
If you spend a long time breaking something it takes a long time to fix it . Keep at it . Time goes past whether you do something good or bad. So you may as well do something good.
Thank you Kevin. I have watched probably fifty or more of your videos in the last three weeks. I am alcohol free for twenty one days at this point and can honestly say that I am done forever.
I have learned so much from you. I now see alcohol for what it really is, what it has been doing to me, and how I need to frame things going forward. At this time I am also working through your beginners course. Again, thank you for sharing your widom. You are an inspiration and I truly believe that I could not be doing this without you.
if I get a craving my first thoughts are my multiple sclerosis and health issues .. I drink zero Gunness or a zero lager ... I've had enough of alcohol nearly 40 years .. a great video.
Well done, Jane...
@@HabitsV2your videos uploads ect are very inspirational keep up the great work inspiring and educating others.
I am on day 5, saved £35 + 1600 calories and not had x 9 plus drinks, one day at a time
Its not pain, its change.
4 weeks alcohol free, it’s not easy but I’ve lost 6 pounds.
Managed 78 days had a relapse now back on the wagon. I love your videos, thank you xxxx
He’s a nice guy the truth is we’ve bought into the biggest drug in history 😂
Well done,better than me . 38 and 32 days have been my best efforts in the last year
I'm aiming for the ENTIRE Winter starting this Friday(92 days) 🤞
Hey there, how are you doing now, I saw ur post 1 month ago here. Hope u can do it!! I have same issue, I can stay sober 2 days and then again falling, I lost my jobs swell

Good luck with your hospital detox once you get there you will ease in and the meds and b vitamin drips will do you wonders well done on the beginning of the end ☘
@@travelbyplanestrainsandcruise
Thank you for the very kind words. It is certainly very scary not knowing what will happen
HOWS IT GOING
@@jawhoney I did not stay.
@@jawhoney have to wait 30 days to try again
Trying hard to get there.
Great videos! Very helpful! Seeing you for the first time! Thank you!
Thank you Kevin.....
Loved the beginners guide👍🏻 very enlightened.
Trying to get creative....cooking or prepping vs. sitting and stewing from the day, waiting for my husband and a drink together. 😊
Thank you
Freaking great thank you!!
This made me cry. 😞
Sorry, Kate x
Not struggling that bad with cravings at mo just the tiredness and feeling shit day 18
A few days this last week I felt really tired in the afternoon. It made me feel like drinking, and I know when we are tired we can be more likely to give in to urges. I never nap, but this week on those days I took a nap when I was able to. For about 45 minutes or so. And it really helped. I know we can't always just take a nap, but if you can it really helps. One doesn't even have to sleep, just lie down and not have to do anything for a while.
@@memoryroom6388 been doing that the lack of energy and feeling rough thought I'd be a bit better by now
@@benyedder1295 Ive heard from some people it may be a couple months or more before you get through that. I had severe tiredness over the last couple weeks that would just sneak up on me. I think you have to just put up with it. I do think drinking water (especially with lemon) and staying hydrated will help.
@@memoryroom6388 thanks
First 90 days are rough. Coffee and green tea helps. Watch youtube videos about end stage liver disease. It's a wake up call
Sorry what is the link to beinners?

Tell me something do you know whats coming? I seriously doubt it!!!
please research the Sinclair Method (tsm). over time, your craving for alcohol will go away instead of relying on willpower for the rest of your life. it's working for me
