I QUIT DRINKING ALCOHOL, HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED

Great video! You have a gift in the way you deliver your message! Very engaging! I drank alcohol since I was 14. I was very good at it! I never threw up, hangovers were manageable and I loved drinking! Then it began to interfere with my life, physically and mentally! On August 13, 2020, I lost my wife , 2dogs, and a cat along with all of my possessions in a house fire. I was 69 years old and lost. I began binge drinking alone! I started realizing I was going down a bad path and began praying for help, literally. I had my last drink on December 9, 2022! Best decision I ever made in my life. The fog has been lifted from my brain and physically I have never felt better! Listening to videos like yours only reinforces my choices! Keep up the great work helping those who need it! God Bless 🙏

Two things: 1. When I quit drinking, after I hit the 4-month mark, it suddenly felt like, mentally, someone had turned the lights back on. I was totally floored by the realization that, yes, drinking does, in fact, make you very stupid if you do it regularly. 2. The quality of this video is amazing. You have skills. This is by far the most engaging "I quit drinking" video I've seen, and I've watched a lot of them.

I'm 4 yrs 5 months alcohol free after about 45 yrs of drinking. I drank daily and heavily for many years and "breakfast bourbons" weren't unheard-of. I had a true out of body experience as I was walking into a liquor store which scared the crap out of me and provided the immediate motivation to quit. After hearing a couple of radio interviews and reading 2 books I stopped drinking without any real difficulty or drama. The biggest factor in being able to stop was being able to picture my life without drinking. Life seems much more dull now but I'll never go back to that voluntary enslavement that is alcohol dependency.

Great video, and congrats! I’ve been drinking too much for years now, but after my breakup 6 months ago, I’ve been binge drinking and vaping most nights. Proud to say that, for the first time in about 3 years or so, I’ve officially gone a week without drinking or using nicotine. I feel amazing. I want this feeling to last forever.

“Alcohol is the only drug you have to justify not doing”. So true. When you tell people that you aren’t drinking at a party or some other social gathering where alcohol is served, they automatically ask you if you have a drinking problem or are religious. And they seem quite puzzled when you tell them that “no, I just don’t want to drink”.

30 days off the boose today! Feeling great! The peer pressure will be bad for upcomming events

Ive not had a drink since 31 dec 2023 and feeling a lot better. Today was the first day in a long time wanted a drink which was strange but just remembered all the reasons why i have stopped. I like the crack analogy. I have alcohol = crystal meth on my fridge to keep it at bay. Great video

Good video. Was basically a daily drinker for years. Stopped doing it and the change was pretty amazing. Lost weight, most energy, more productive professionally. Over all just feel like a new person.

I quit a year and half ago. Haven’t had a drop since. I’m so glad I did. It improved my life 100%. Very much encourage anyone thinking of doing it to quit! Stay strong. You won’t regret it.

Excellent work....appreciate all the points you made. Congrats!

great Video, 746 Days and no plan to ever drink again. Made the same experience, greetings from Austria

this is a well made video 100%

this is a well made video

11 years of continuous sobriety here. Your experience was a lot like mine.

I used to drink to kill the pain at the end of the day. It seemed like the only time I could truly relax. At some point it started to become increasingly clear that the vast majority of the pain I was trying to kill was only there because of alcohol. Drinking is the perfect solution to a problem caused by drinking. What a stupid endless loop.

Congrats!

Well done! Drinking so much and stopping is awesome! What about myself, now I just can’t drink. Not because I don’t want, sometime I want to! but it’s just not tasty. And then it is hard to do workouts normally. So I stopped. And I support everyone who want to give up drinking or doesn’t drink. Life is full of cool things that fill you up just as much as alcohol

This resonates so much… dry January in 2023, my friends called me a martyr, that I thought I was better than them. They don’t call me anymore. I feel so damn good, so happy, and I can FEEL. I admire myself every evening and never wake up hating myself. Thank you 🙏🏼

Awesome video! This the first video of yours that I watch. The self-awareness is top notch. I think that your drinking situation and results can be applied to many things that we as humans tend to overindulge in, be it video games, TV, social media, women, playing victim, etc. If we replace the word “drinking” with any of the aforementioned subjects, our results will not differ by too much, which is what I think makes your video and message very powerful. And yes, when one tries to improve oneself, the resistance and hate one gets from the outside world never ceases to amaze me. People have a problem with change, even if it’s for the better. But you gotta keep going. You can’t change people, you can only influence them by consistently being who and what you are and want to be. Consistency is key.

JONATHAN I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!
