Alcohol is ruining my sleep, my moods, my bank account, my mind, my body and my integrity.. fuck it- I'm done with it. Time to start living! ..... day 1!
Been there too long ! 30 years several tractor trailer loads of beer by now! It hurts everything and everyone. It will kill me definitely or I'll kill myself from the effects! I enjoyed the video thanks .
Thats so awesome! Congrats! Keep it up! Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!
Love this bruh... I was in recovery for a few months. I noticed small thing s happen to me. Seems as if women were leaning toward me. I waa getting job offers just from strangers. My ex text me after a year. Sleeping. Working out. Smiling more. Less guilt. Then only to realize that it was my real true self attracting these great things. Life if beautiful
That was a really great explanation of the benefits. Thanks. I'm quitting drinking again today. I had pretty much a year sober and then July 4th started drinking again. I've regretted that decision. It's very hard to stop once you start like that. And your Social Scene becomes the bar with your friends.
17 days without any alcohol & got to say I feel amazing. I was drinking a good 12 bottles of Stella a day everyday for about 5 years & wondering why I felt like shit constantly. Well now I feel fresh, happy, full of energy & not missing the booze in the slightest 💪
man i have had depression and that made me quit smoking somehow 3 months ago...a month ago i got so drunk and along with depressive thought i had no will to do anything and that included drinking...i now feel i can actually carry on n stop drinking ..feelin a little bit positive ...nice 1 👊
this is my day 11 free from drinking alcohol and man I feel pretty good generally, I've had times where I've wanted to quit before but the motivation and timing never seemed quite right or I could come into contact with people where the opportunity arose to drink and there was peer pressure and my will power wasnt that good, but this time it just seemed to fall perfectly, as it was, I wasnt really enjoying drinking anymore, and because it was around christmas, its like the thing to do, so I would do it, but I found my mind was blurred when I drank and it led to overthinking and sometimes not being present in the moment, I used to feel badly depressed the day after a heavy session or I would feel anxious in public...it is only day 11 free but Im already getting compliments saying I look well and people noticing positive changes in me, I would reccomend anyone considering giving it up to go for it, there is will power required at first but the longer I go without it, the less I want it....I feel this time I'll be successful and kick it for good...alcohol was slowly killing me but now I'm starting to get my life back
Wow thanks for sharing your story! I love this. First off, congrats on getting to day 11! You should be pretty much done with any physical symptoms of withdrawal. The anxiety and stress may take a little longer, but your attitude seem solid and it may not bother you as much. Keep going and dont give up. I will say that temptation is very sneaky and can have you on your knees again so be very aware of that! Keep in touch if you need anything. I appreciate your comment and subscribe when you get the chance!
I definitely will do thankyou for getting back to me, also my confidence and focus is better than its been for years, I enjoyed ur video and its good to see there are other people who have turned their lives around
Thanks bro 4 days in now and all ready felling great. Nice motivational video. I can't stop being productive it's crazy! I almost feel on drugs not feeling like chit. Got so used to being hungover it just became the norm. Now having a clear head who is really beautiful thing. Not going slip up this time I am in it for good.

Maiyo Herrero thanks for the replay. Back on it but really cut down only about 2 pints a night. Or none. But started going to the gym everyday day now running 2k that defentley helps. Makes me fell like I don't need a drink so much. But still struggling to quit dot good. Just need to keep busy so I don't get tempted.
Yes it can be funny, but I tend to get annoyed fairly quickly! I remain patient only because I used to be a drunk! Thanks for the comment and wish you well! Please Subscribe!
I honestly just lost all desire to go to parties. That actually happened a year or so before I quit lol. Idk why....my anxiety would just start going up...
Life In Recovery I'm going to counseling for anxiety so that it's stops ruining friendships, opportunities and my life. I also am a huge fan of meditating
+Brandon Mitchell yeah it's funny how we are ironically in a better mood when we quit drinking for a while. Thanks for the comment Brandon and Subscribe if you can!
I like how I don’t wake up four hours after drinking feeling yucky, trembly and sick. Sleep is so beautiful now. No more greasy breakfast to curb the hangovers. My tummy hurts 7 days into it, lots of heart burn:( I’m proud of myself each day I wake up sober is a huge miracle
Day 120 after 17 years of alcohol abuse (and other crap too...), definitely feel much better, but a part of me still misses drinking, I hope that eventually passes.
Sad to say drinking never helped me sleep unless I was hammered. I'm doing it now just to avoid seizures and death. I dont even get a buzz now. Start around 4 PM everyday. So I'm sure I'll never sleep again when and if i can quit.
No things def get better! Sleep will improve especially quality. We think we sleep good with alcohol.....We get horrible sleep and very little rem sleep. Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!
I decided to quit/(well cut back) a lot on drinking., when your sober drunk people get on your nerves . I. Haven't had a drink since New Years and my fitness watch said I got like 6:55hrs of sleep the days leading up to my last drink i was getting 4:55 and 3:46hrs of sleep. I would often wake up at 5a or 6am wide awake. I would often have to take a nap before work at 2pm. ( I work 5-11p) otherwise I would be dead tired by 10. now that I quit drinking I can't even attempt to take a nap... I've saved soooo much money dude. I get off at 11p and all my friends have regular jobs so since it boring I would go to bar on way home and spend 20$ 5 nights a week . When your talking about seeing things clearly, i noticed that all the people i was friends with were bar people. ( you are the 5 people you hangout with they say ) Thanks for making this video.. i was showing a friend cause he didn't believe me
+Astronomical 1 that's awesome man! First off nice shirt! Go cowboys. Gonna get that super bowl this year. Congrats on stopping. Things will only get better from here. The money will roll in and getting good sleep is gold in itself. Thanks for the comment and subscribe if you get the time!
Trey Jones yeah that was the main problem dude, when the cowboys would win we would be so happy we would drink ALOT at the bar. If they played a day game like let's say the 12pm game we would drink until the 7pm game sometime all the way through depending if they beat a real good team .It wouldn't be so bad when they played the 7pm cause I wouldn't drink until like 6pm. Now if the played the 3pm that where I really run into problem. I would get so anxious at the house and bored ( like your one of your videos said your body knows it's time for a drink ) so i would get to bar at half time of the first set of game and end up drinking all the way until 11p. Here is another thing. One Sunday this season I had to stay home ( I think it was a Monday night game ) cause I had a test tomorrow and couldn't get drunk . And dude I actually paid attention and remembered what happend in the game.amd was like wow this interesting way to watch the game. The next week i was like I'm gonna just go to bar right when the game was comming on... the bar tender was like damn you must haven't been drinking all day before the game .. I asked her why she say that ..she said because i was more mellow and less trying to be cocky and funny. When it's not football season I don't seek drinking much.. I don't even have it home . For me it's more about being lonely cause all my true friends from back in the day are all married with kids and don't want to go out anymore. So i would say the bar filled that void.. On a last note : i remember last season when we would be losing I remmeber a friend who is a cop telling me when cowboys lose the rates of bar fights , and domestic violence would go up a lot.
Today is day 4. This is my 3rd time. I've realized, I am not a person who can have 2 or 3 and stop. I mean, it starts out that way, but then I always end up overboard. No self control. I've ran out of excuses for myself. Having a shitty abusive childhood isn't a good enough excuse for me anymore. I took responsibility, and accountability for myself, and my actions. I'm about to be 30 years old, this has gone on long enough. Life has been so much better than it used to be, and I'm feeling hopeful for the first time in my life. Wishing anyone wanting to quit, the best of luck✌🏽
I'll be 30 in a month as well and after 12 years of heavy drinking I think I'm finally ready to ease up and let it go. We'll see. Day 2 at the moment. Hope you've had positive progress. If you haven't... Tomorrow's a new day, make it count. Good on ya mate.
Past 5 years I have been 3 or 4 days on the grog using it as a stress relief. My first week off it and already I notice the changes. Even when I was a gym junkie 5 years ago I always had a Saturday night piss up. If I get to 2 weeks that will be a first for me (I think). You can't be present in the moment when your only thinking about how you are getting your next drink. Great video look forward to feeling even better.
i am deciding to quit alcohol now for good, the reason for this is i reallize it just destroys my life. I am on my last day to step down of 4 days of stepping down. The reason i am stepping down instead of cold turkey i could not deal with the withdraws especially eeeextrem anxity and even panic attack. I was crying like a little baby litterally. I doing it for myself first but also for my family i am almost losing because of my drinking. Thanks for your video.
+Peter I'm sorry to hear your struggle. I hope that stepping down will down and not enable you further. Doing it for your family is the best reason other than yourself! Keep me updated and subscribe if you haven't yet!
Lisa Love oh man welllllll.....idk. It's different for everyone. Some people can handle that and others can't. If you are miserable then stay for a short time and leave. Don't give in or let peer pressure catch you with your guard down. Bring some jolly ranchers or blow pops!
Wow keep up the good work. I doing the something been doing for almost 6 years doing this every and tryed and manny times and falled and now im two days clean going on three days. And never looking back.
day 1 for me 17 years of almost having a drink a day. started when I came back from the airforce. I drank since Friday and went on a weekend bender. finished yesterday drink a half bottle of jack daniels. I was throwing up all day today and just finally had enough. of this. my heads still na bit kurry and I'm trying to fall asleep. I ran across your video and real appreciate themn
Well good job for making it 35 days. At least you know you can go that long! Keep trying Addy and do not give up no matter what! It always worth it to fight for your sobriety. Thanks for the comment and subscribe if you get the chance!
Life In Recovery yeah I subscribed. I'll probably be watching all of Your vids soon 👍 I'm glad there are videos especially from people around my age on here for motivation.
it's funny i've been drinking for 13 years, and whenever i stop i have insomnia, i get cranky and bored. i find moderate drinking is much better for me in general.
+Brian Garon yeah heavy drinking gives you the withdrawal! But luckily those withdrawal symptoms aren't too bad! Thanks for sharing and subscribe if you get the chance!
I had s slip and fall a week ago. I was drunk of course. I was rushed to the ER and kept in the hospital for a week. 1/2 my body is black and blue, one eye was swollen shut etc. The good news is that I'm detoxed now and haven't had a drink in since. I don't want to ruin this opportunity BUT I do feel like I need medication to keep off booze while I make the transition. The doctor gave me Atavan and that seems to help but I'm afraid I could get addicted to that. What are your thoughts on Atavan, Librium etc. as a tool towards a sober lifestyle?
Maybe for a week or two...but i wouldnt risk getting hooked on something else honestly. Have yo tried all of the natural ways?

Seriously i look pregnant and it wont go away, i thought i had a food allergy or digestive problem i've been on the net all day trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me then i thought about when my severe bloating started and was last summer when i drank beer heavily almost every other day.. It's all from alcohol consumption and too much coffee. I already quit biting my nails and smoking cigarettes last year, then i went to drinking heavily i guess one addiction to the next.

Trey Jones Thanks buddy.....first time it happened with me was day 3 of no alcohol.....after 6 years of drinking........... but I know now it is normal considering the circumstances.......just have to ride it out.....it comes and goes.
My parents came to visit one day and asked me how I was. I answered, well- the sun rises in the morning and it sets in the evening, everything in between is a fog´.
i done some of the craziest things under the influence of alcohol last night i drank a 12 pack and a half pint of vodka and today i want it to be my 1st day sobor i bin drinking like that for the past 12 years i lost 2 of my relationships cuz of it and almost lost my recent one because of the alcohol
I drank for 3 years. I was a blackout drunk (every single day) and boy did I fuck up my life. I would say the first week is the hardest. I failed many times trying to stop. Cravings and withdraws were just to intense. if you can get past that first couple weeks, I would say you would have a good chance getting sober. antabuse and a good diet helped me. I been sober for about 40 days now. my thinking and my view on reality changed. I'm out my drunk fantasy land. I cant tell you much more on + side effects because for about 30 days I just straight slept. I had NO energy. my body had to go into recovery mode. sad thing is, even after countless hospital visits and coming face to face with death countless times - my cravings still exist. its fucking evil. just a testimony.
Hey man thanks for your video. Actually I am very new in drinking. I get drunk with just 3 beer. I drank like 3 to 4 times a month last year(2016). Now all of a sudden I have started to stop drinking. Now I have noticed some sort of physical weakness. I am worried that its already too late and its giving me a lot of panic. Thanks.
I quit 76 days ago and holy fuck the anxiety and depression was fucking nuts at first, dreams were wild and now dealing with derealization. Starting to work out now n see what happens
Bro I been drinking to cope my anxiety I feel like shit the next day when it wears off bro I go crazy, anxious, nerves ,negative thoughts,insomina,fear of dying ..i need ur help bro
I have been there! You gotta start working on your anxiety. Have you tried tapering down instead of cold turkey? As far as the anxiety goes, make sure that you are exercising daily, eating a great diet, keeping a journal, practicing meditation and positive thinking, take a multi vitamin, work on getting 8 hours of sleep.

Man i had the same problem, but to come to find out alcohol was what was causjng me anxiety. The hangover spiked my anxiety. After a couple of weeks of sober it started to go away, now there is none. Stay strong.
Well i disagree with developing a new habit but if it helps with the serious habit which is alcohol, then yes go for it. Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!

Wow! Two months is much time. I'm on my 6th week, feeling better compared two weeks ago. And one more question, sorry. But did you too feel like your legs were tired most of the time? Thanks again
Another thing about my Drinking...It made me fat lol. within 2-3 months,i had gained a lot of heavy weight to the point i felt like a giant sack of potatoes...i was always to weak and slumped a lot,everytime i'd get in to take a shower,i felt bloated and heavy and almost short of breath a lot,stomach acid like crazy,shaking hands,my neck fattened up really bad,i looked like a balloon,it was that bad,but oddly enough once i dropped the booze,i lost that weight quicker than shit lol. at first,my stomach looked like it was going down,then my neck would skinny up and my Jawline would show again. I Found out that Alcohol (especially beer) causes your body to hold on to extra fluids,therefor causing the Alcohol bloat. It's short of water retention...but you look and feel like you ate 10 helpings of shit. I Know my body felt warm to the touch all the time,my skin was really dry,my face was puffy,my feet started to smell really bad etc. and all of that put together just sucked. I Had NO Energy left.
What did you do to quit drinking? I've been struggling to quit and want to for health reasons, have been a heavy drinker too for about 5-6 years now too.
I quit all together.....relapsed many times...finally just had enough and got to a really dark place in my life. I just surrendered the fight against alcohol! I wish you luck. Thanks for the comment Craig and subscribe if you can!
I want to ask about tampering? I have been drinking 80 ounces of beer a night.(some nights more) but now I drink 40 ounces for the last couple of nights, tomorrow night in going to 24 is that progress?
This is my 2nd day & i have a dull but nagging headache.. did you experience this? i feel much better than i would if i was drinking alcohol. just curious if anyone had this & feeling a bit anxious while trying to refrain from this poisonous drug?
am i a alcoholic i drink a 6 pack of beer daily and sometimes i drink a 12 pack with a half pint of vodka i wanna stop drinking but i cant the first thing i do when i wake up is get ready and go to the liquior store can any one help
Heya Ivan. I know from experience the first days off drinking are the worst for cravings. Thats why its a cycle going back and forth from wanting to quit and drinking again. If you can last a few days and deny the cravings it will be easier as time goes on. Also, ever try A.A. as well?
Yeah gotta break the cycle and its tough for sure! Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!
Sofuckin hard to stop. When i tell myself none for fee days or a werk that night i ususlly go out and get even more hammered without even thinking about my prior promise to myself. And then the next day waking up with so much anxiety about that i gove up that easy
I'm quitting now no more excuses I can't live like this anymore wish me luck

Today is day 4. This is my 3rd time. I've realized, I am not a person who can have 2 or 3 and stop. I mean, it starts out that way, but then I always end up overboard. No self control. I've ran out of excuses for myself. Having a shitty abusive childhood isn't a good enough excuse for me anymore. I took responsibility, and accountability for myself, and my actions. I'm about to be 30 years old, this has gone on long enough. Life has been so much better than it used to be, and I'm feeling hopeful for the first time in my life. Wishing anyone wanting to quit, the best of luck✌🏽
I'll be 30 in a month as well and after 12 years of heavy drinking I think I'm finally ready to ease up and let it go. We'll see. Day 2 at the moment. Hope you've had positive progress. If you haven't... Tomorrow's a new day, make it count. Good on ya mate.
Past 5 years I have been 3 or 4 days on the grog using it as a stress relief. My first week off it and already I notice the changes. Even when I was a gym junkie 5 years ago I always had a Saturday night piss up. If I get to 2 weeks that will be a first for me (I think). You can't be present in the moment when your only thinking about how you are getting your next drink. Great video look forward to feeling even better.
That is awesome. I'm happy for you and proud of you.

i am deciding to quit alcohol now for good, the reason for this is i reallize it just destroys my life. I am on my last day to step down of 4 days of stepping down. The reason i am stepping down instead of cold turkey i could not deal with the withdraws especially eeeextrem anxity and even panic attack. I was crying like a little baby litterally. I doing it for myself first but also for my family i am almost losing because of my drinking. Thanks for your video.

Thanks alot Lisa! Trying to anyways lol. Subscribe if you get the chance!
Gave up social drinking. Its been hard.
Lisa Love yeah that's the hardest. Most people can drink socially and it not affect them. Our "kind" however lol like it a little too much!
For sure! I'm going out tomorrow night for a birthday party. I am praying for strength not to indulge. Any tips?
Lisa Love oh man welllllll.....idk. It's different for everyone. Some people can handle that and others can't. If you are miserable then stay for a short time and leave. Don't give in or let peer pressure catch you with your guard down. Bring some jolly ranchers or blow pops!
Day 3, not feeling great and I have a headache that won’t go away, but I’ll try my best to stick with it.
Wow keep up the good work. I doing the something been doing for almost 6 years doing this every and tryed and manny times and falled and now im two days clean going on three days. And never looking back.
day 1 for me 17 years of almost having a drink a day. started when I came back from the airforce. I drank since Friday and went on a weekend bender. finished yesterday drink a half bottle of jack daniels. I was throwing up all day today and just finally had enough. of this.

it's funny i've been drinking for 13 years, and whenever i stop i have insomnia, i get cranky and bored. i find moderate drinking is much better for me in general.
+Brian Garon yeah heavy drinking gives you the withdrawal! But luckily those withdrawal symptoms aren't too bad! Thanks for sharing and subscribe if you get the chance!
All facts great video!!!!!
lmaooo the Dos Equis Beer sign in the back....great video tho, completely agree with everything
I had s slip and fall a week ago. I was drunk of course. I was rushed to the ER and kept in the hospital for a week. 1/2 my body is black and blue, one eye was swollen shut etc.
The good news is that I'm detoxed now and haven't had a drink in since. I don't want to ruin this opportunity BUT I do feel like I need medication to keep off booze while I make the transition.
The doctor gave me Atavan and that seems to help but I'm afraid I could get addicted to that.
What are your thoughts on Atavan, Librium etc. as a tool towards a sober lifestyle?
Maybe for a week or two...but i wouldnt risk getting hooked on something else honestly. Have yo tried all of the natural ways? Make sure you are exercising daily, eating healthy, keeping a journal, taking a multivitamin, practicing meditation in the mornings and evenings, practicing cbt, watch positive affirmation and asmr videos, and join online support groups!

Seriously i look pregnant and it wont go away, i thought i had a food allergy or digestive problem i've been on the net all day trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me then i thought about when my severe bloating started and was last summer when i drank beer heavily almost every other day.. It's all from alcohol consumption and too much coffee. I already quit biting my nails and smoking cigarettes last year, then i went to drinking heavily i guess one addiction to the next.
The brain fog is brutal......a strange feeling.

Trey Jones Thanks buddy.....first time it happened with me was day 3 of no alcohol.....after 6 years of drinking........... but I know now it is normal considering the circumstances.......just have to ride it out.....it comes and goes.
You are so welcome Michael!
My parents came to visit one day and asked me how I was. I answered, well- the sun rises in the morning and it sets in the evening, everything in between is a fog´.
Great video
i done some of the craziest things under the influence of alcohol last night i drank a 12 pack and a half pint of vodka and today i want it to be my 1st day sobor i bin drinking like that for the past 12 years i lost 2 of my relationships cuz of it and almost lost my recent one because of the alcohol
I drank for 3 years. I was a blackout drunk (every single day) and boy did I fuck up my life. I would say the first week is the hardest. I failed many times trying to stop. Cravings and withdraws were just to intense. if you can get past that first couple weeks, I would say you would have a good chance getting sober. antabuse and a good diet helped me. I been sober for about 40 days now. my thinking and my view on reality changed. I'm out my drunk fantasy land. I cant tell you much more on + side effects because for about 30 days I just straight slept. I had NO energy. my body had to go into recovery mode. sad thing is, even after countless hospital visits and coming face to face with death countless times - my cravings still exist. its fucking evil. just a testimony.
OMG thats an awesome story! Keep it up! Thanks for the comment and subscribe if you get the chance!!! :)
Hey man thanks for your video. Actually I am very new in drinking. I get drunk with just 3 beer. I drank like 3 to 4 times a month last year(2016). Now all of a sudden I have started to stop drinking. Now I have noticed some sort of physical weakness. I am worried that its already too late and its giving me a lot of panic. Thanks.
Great video. Much Respect. !
I definitely feel younger once I stop drinking, a 6pack a day for 15 years.
Yeah it def helps with that! Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!

I quit 76 days ago and holy fuck the anxiety and depression was fucking nuts at first, dreams were wild and now dealing with derealization. Starting to work out now n see what happens
Bro I been drinking to cope my anxiety I feel like shit the next day when it wears off bro I go crazy, anxious, nerves ,negative thoughts,insomina,fear of dying ..i need ur help bro
I have been there! You gotta start working on your anxiety. Have you tried tapering down instead of cold turkey? As far as the anxiety goes, make sure that you are exercising daily, eating a great diet, keeping a journal, practicing meditation and positive thinking, take a multi vitamin, work on getting 8 hours of sleep.

I suffer panic attacks too the hangovers made mine worse
Man i had the same problem, but to come to find out alcohol was what was causjng me anxiety. The hangover spiked my anxiety. After a couple of weeks of sober it started to go away, now there is none. Stay strong.
How do you feel about quitting drinking and strickly smoking weed.
Well i disagree with developing a new habit but if it helps with the serious habit which is alcohol, then yes go for it. Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!

I'm two weeks sober and feel great. Problem is my husband isn't. Do marriages survive one only quitting?
The statistics arent in your favor, but i wouldnt let that discourage you from trying! Have faith and keep trying. Marriage is sacred and requires a lot of work. If he loves you, he will at least attempt to get a little better and better as time goes on. thanks for the comment carrie and subscribe if you can!
Thanks for the video bro
Thank you 🙏
Quit 5 years now and everything is different I see a different word.
Thanks bud.
How many days of irritation/hell did you go through before you realized you could stay clean?
John D about 14 to 16 days really
wow wat a nice video good job
Hey thanks so much! Awesome comment and subscribe if you can!
I'm almost a month withou alcohol and still feel like being tired. Is this normal? I used to drink like 3-5 bottles of beer at night for 7yrs.
Yeah I felt the same. Congrats on a month! Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!
Thanks for replying. Felt releived. How long did fatigue last with you?
ehh 2 months or so! you are welcome!
Wow! Two months is much time. I'm on my 6th week, feeling better compared two weeks ago. And one more question, sorry. But did you too feel like your legs were tired most of the time? Thanks again
Another thing about my Drinking...It made me fat lol. within 2-3 months,i had gained a lot of heavy weight to the point i felt like a giant sack of potatoes...i was always to weak and slumped a lot,everytime i'd get in to take a shower,i felt bloated and heavy and almost short of breath a lot,stomach acid like crazy,shaking hands,my neck fattened up really bad,i looked like a balloon,it was that bad,but oddly enough once i dropped the booze,i lost that weight quicker than shit lol. at first,my stomach looked like it was going down,then my neck would skinny up and my Jawline would show again. I Found out that Alcohol (especially beer) causes your body to hold on to extra fluids,therefor causing the Alcohol bloat. It's short of water retention...but you look and feel like you ate 10 helpings of shit. I Know my body felt warm to the touch all the time,my skin was really dry,my face was puffy,my feet started to smell really bad etc. and all of that put together just sucked. I Had NO Energy left.
Chainsaw Wielding Maniac yeah weight seems to fall off if you had bad eating habits associated with drinking! Thanks for sharing and keep in touch!
That was really good

What did you do to quit drinking? I've been struggling to quit and want to for health reasons, have been a heavy drinker too for about 5-6 years now too.
Me personally, I just quit cold turkey. Force of mind is great power.
I quit all together.....relapsed many times...finally just had enough and got to a really dark place in my life. I just surrendered the fight against alcohol! I wish you luck. Thanks for the comment Craig and subscribe if you can!
I also quit cold turkey! Thanks for the comment and subscribe when you can!
Diet def helps along with an exercise routine! Thank you for the input and subscribe if you get a chance!
What? When I quit drinking my depression got worse...
I want to ask about tampering? I have been drinking 80 ounces of beer a night.(some nights more) but now I drink 40 ounces for the last couple of nights, tomorrow night in going to 24 is that progress?
This is my 2nd day & i have a dull but nagging headache.. did you experience this? i feel much better than i would if i was drinking alcohol.
just curious if anyone had this & feeling a bit anxious while trying to refrain from this poisonous drug?
i have 23 days without drinking and its feel good
What do you think about using Kratom, for three or 4 days while quitting?
am i a alcoholic i drink a 6 pack of beer daily and sometimes i drink a 12 pack with a half pint of vodka i wanna stop drinking but i cant the first thing i do when i wake up is get ready and go to the liquior store can any one help
Heya Ivan. I know from experience the first days off drinking are the worst for cravings. Thats why its a cycle going back and forth from wanting to quit and drinking again. If you can last a few days and deny the cravings it will be easier as time goes on. Also, ever try A.A. as well?
Alcohol is fuckin me up. I actually have come to notice that I hate going to bars now too.
Thanks bro!!!
Day 95!

Quit drinking and it's back to normality. Normality feels strange so you hit the bottle to feel normal. Vicious circle.
