Beginner's Guide To Stopping Alcohol: www.habitsv2.c...
Bottom line to all this, if your drinking is negatively impacting your life, then you are drinking too much. If people are starting to tell you that you are drinking too much, then you are likely in denial and drinking too much. If you show up to work hungover, then you are drinking too much. If you show up any where hungover, then you are drinking too much. As Kevin says you are diminished and why do that to yourself on purpose? Six years sober and life was never this easy and happy. Alcohol is relentless. It is pushed on you at nearly every social function you will attend. Bring your own non alcoholic beverage there. Alcohol doesn't make you sophisticated, doesn't make you an adult. There its a reason you don't smoke cigarettes, shoot heroin, smoke meth and there is a reason you have had enough of drugging yourself with alcohol. Remember that.
I have screenshot this, and will read it whenever I crave, thank you
Very well said 👌
@@TheRealAaronFinn1I've done that as well !!! Brilliant idea
You nailed it!
I think my tolerance was going down as my body was loosing the ability to digest it,some people get drunk on just a few.
13 days sober Kevin. Feeling better. I will not go back. Thanks for what you are doing to help us all. God bless.
What was amazing to me after I quit for good was how fast my mindset changed. It was almost overnight and made stopping so much easier. I am glad I don't have to battle myself anymore and every change since has been a good one. No more regret no more hangovers and no more drug abusing bullshit.
I always struggled to moderate. I used to always make the mistake of 'try to have a break, until I can moderate'.... then just go back to bad habits. This time around, I decided I just needed to quit and be done with it, period. I am on day 56, it's the longest I've ever done, but my mindset is rock solid. In my head, it's just more final than before, noticeably so. There is simply no interest. I've had plenty of opportunities to drink, including beach BBQs and family events, but I'm been steadfast. That mindset change is key, and I've been looking for it for years.
@_.alex.- Hope this finds you well my friend just keep it up.
93 days since alcohol, and it feels GREAT.
I am 25 days in. Struggling today, don't know why? So going to have a sugary NON Alcoholic drink.
@@miltonkeyneslad4702old habits die hard! Stay strong!
Thanks Kevin. Back on track. Onwards and upwards 😊
Mate I would just like to say thank you for the education the last five years I remember coming to this channel that time ago knowing I had to stop drinking as it wasn't making me happy..Tried and failed many times but after learning from my mistakes and adjusting ever time I'm now 391 days Sober..Best thing I have ever done and man as you say here what a waste of time and energy..I'm a changed man after 32 years of binge drinking..Your a legend man and all your videos have helped me so much 💪💪💪💪💪
One Superbowl Sunday, I counted the number of Imperial pints of Guinness which I drank, and it was 26. People tended to not believe me, including my doctor. In any event, I no longer drink or smoke at all, my health is good, and I am much happier than I ever was with a belly full of beer. For everyone out there forswearing the Demon Rum: Brothers and Sisters, you can do it, and you will love yourself for it. Kick that little devil in the ass!
It was never, ever enough. PS: The view is awesome, Kevin.
Kevin I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife. I haven’t heard you speak about it before, though it sounds like it was a while ago. After a lot of thought I’ve come to the conclusion that some of the difficulties in giving up alcohol lie in the fact that most of us learn to drink in adolescence, and giving up involves persuading a rebellious teenager to change his/her ways. If you remember that adolescence can last until the age of 25, and that all phases of development are present in us until death, this becomes quite a compelling argument/consideration. When I realised this it became a bit easier to curb the impulsive behaviour that leads to drinking (I’m the father of five with all of whom I negotiated adolescence) so negotiating my own return to impulsive behaviour was a bit easier. Wishing all engaged in the fight against alcohol the very best of luck. 😂😂😂
Yes. Another danger for me as a binge drinker was justifying my behavior. I would have sober time in between bouts of beer, so for years I thought I was just fine. I'm older now and finally wiser. Thank you Kevin!
For a lot of lads in the UK+Ireland, you would have to add in drugs as part of a booze bender. In fact, that is how they get through a 25 pint bender. Not suggesting you took drugs, but many do in order to be able to continue drinking. That combination puts you into a state of mind where anything can happen. It can easily go wrong in so many ways. Frightening.
spot on
Kevin. Thanks so much for this clip. Everything you said resonated so much. I'm in the early stages of my journey as my marriage, kids, life are all at stake if I continue. I thank you for your honesty. If only more people could be as honest about their relationship with alcohol ! I started dry July with 1 night where I craved and gave in. Each day I hear your voice saying "keep that sh_& out of your mouth " thank you ! I look around me now and see a huge problem esp with us mum's. 1 bottle of prosecco/sav Blanc turns into 3-4 and so on.... My vision is to never drink again ! Onwards ..
Prosecco is really nice though 😋
I find the worst thing is once ya start , ya like shit this isn't enough . I need to go down the road and get some more , 4 days later after about 3 bottles of scotch and 150 dollars gone and nothing to show for it but upsetting people and feeling like crap . Just an endless evil cycle . Best thing is not to pick the bottle up obviously , for me its my bored ego that says fck it lets have a drink . Another year goes by and ya wonder where the fck did all my money go . Cant imagine the money Iv wasted on booze over the years , not to mention the people iv pissed off .
Damn. Sounds like me. Boredom has been a long time excuse for me, but I never thought of it as bored ego! Thanks for another way of seeing this behavior now!
@@jujumulligan43 You're welcome , kinda of like the little devil in ya head more or less .
I would binge drink until I feel over
A&E was my taxi home, broken ribs, black eyes busted nose
4 months in, I'm on track never ever again, a good girl behind you makes the call
Me or the booze, SHE WON 😢😂
Understand about the inconstancy of YT but I refuse to Twit, so hope you continue for a long time on YT, Kevin. Whatever happens, you've made a permanent positive change in a lot of lives, mine for sure. Gratitude & well wishes.
Same here. Won't touch Twitter!
it starts in the early year's at church red wine the blood of christ.
Blasphemy!
Yeah bro. Thats what the grown ups did. So at 16, kicked out of home, wanted to be, no, had to be a grown up. Ill show them i can handle the drink! 85 days sober. Longest time sober in 30+ years. Wasted so much time and energy and money. Yeah bro. Onwards and upwards 👍
I was on 3 bottles wine per night, sometimes a little bit more. 5'9", slim build apart from my 'wine & beer gut'. I can pinpoint the day I started over drinking: met a girl who was finishing her PHD that drank wine every night. Even though I'd been in a band for 10 years I didn't really drink. That was 30 years ago, so I've done the standard 30 years of abuse. It shows, I look and feel dreadful.
So I've stopped. Finito, no more. I feel a bit pathetic having pissed away a lot of my life but onwards and upwards
Incredibly Honest and truthful information Kevin, much appreciated and it arrived perfectly on time for me personally, thanks 👍
I think if i had you talking in my earbud whilst at a party i could sip water and not hear the stupidity around me and have a great sober evening with drunk friends!
I was a binge drinker - weekends Friday - it became a HUGE problem - I’m happy 🙂 I’m sober -
This was years ago, I gave up going to the pub after one time, downing around 25 pints in one night. Also did 24 cans and a bottle of JD another time. Thinking about it now, I was drinking to forget. Now i just say F it to the issues
hi Kevin, I'm still here watching, haven't left many comments lately, just wanted to say hello and thank you for keeping up with your videos 🙂
Well Sir..
Been drinkin since I was 13...probably a good time to wind it down...am 63 now, 50yrs of abuse...sure as hell seems like its time to let go...yes it does...Im Irish too...what a legacy we have...you're on the other side...wish me luck...its next on my list of redemption, peace😌
25 pints is a cricket match.
My tolerance has really started to concern me now - can easily slam 16-20 stronger IPAs through the day, wake up sleeping on the coach at 2am contacts still in my eyes, laptop on my chest, full glass of untouched beer - hell of a way to wake up.
Past years my sober record was over a month, tried again several times this year - 2 weeks a few times. Still trying to figure out why I slip, there's an ironic part of how it feels very easy to just give it up - not much physical or mental pain in withdrawal - it's the "feeling like celebrating" and sometimes "peer pressure" that gets me. I need to celebrate with a good sober run and healthy dinner. Celebrate the ability to say no or "I'm (already) good" when offered a poison drink, celebrate by just acknowledging feeling good sober within and hearing the nature.
Excuses to drink ,one wont hurt,it’s never one it’s one more,I make jokes about people getting drunk,talk down abit about it but I’m one of the first to pound a six pack down,the joking is a way for me of excepting it or justifying it.Talking to a German buddy last night about this ,he does the same thing,and make lite of our excess drinking,.cultural habits.Grandpa did,my dad did it,I do it!
I was up to over 20 shots of tequila a day. I am 62 years old. I must say I enjoy drinking, but I am actually concerned that I am killing myself. So 13 days ago I threw away a full bottle of tequila and even threw away my shot glass. Quitting is not that hard with a made up mind. My trap is when I start feeling better and I get tempted to believe the LIE that I can do moderation. Why would I believe that? I have NEVER been moderate in my alcohol consumption. I don't even like the feeling of 2 or 3 drinks. There is life on the other side of alcohol. It is a different life. My hope is that you will have the strength to make the change. Just STOP. God bless you and all you love.
@@BrianVallotton I’m coming up 68 never much moderation here either,I will be killing my self if I don’t quit,started to ramp up the last few years with retirement and …
@@goforitrazz Hey brother, Yes I am an upholsterer and my shop is at my house. It started getting easier and easier to start drinking earlier in the day. I got to where I was having my first drink by 9am... and by 2 or 3 in the afternoon I was already 12 to 15 drinks in... I usually would stop around dinner. Then asleep on the recliner at 7pm sometimes. No good. I can always pick it back up again, but I am better off without it. A friend of mine always says-- No good ever came from alcohol. I have not always agreed with that... but I think he is right. I wish you great peace and great health!
It's legal where you are , it's hard to quit because your not doing anything illegal
My state legalized pot and I hope it gives drinkers an alternative for thier sober months or sober nights
I love nature the most and music
A day a whisky or two glasses of wine.
That time I didn't thinkn is too much during Easter night I have 3 glasses of whisky next morning having an accident, lost my licence, my job, money and feel alone. That time still didn't think I have alcohol issue.
Everything get clear when I wake up sitting under my kitchen table. That was my turning point, no more alcohol from that day, I know I have alcohol problem .That was the time when I recognise I am an alcoholic. No more alcohol from that day
I know of a man who drank himself into seizures and a coma. He had to have metal plates put into his skull after the brain swelling was reduced.
He continues drinking himself to death. He has no humility or gratefulness.....I am praying for him now .May God have mercy on his soul. Amen
I was a big drinker my love for my daughter helped me give up 🙏 18years later my mountain walks and my camera 📸 keeps me off the booze,where I live it's all about drinking ,I don't see any of my friends I had during my pub days ,you lose them all their lives haven't changed,ive lost a few great friends who were alcoholics
Beautiful landscape
I drank a 1.75 of bourbon every four or five days there at the end, and that was just at home. I had a hollow leg you might say 😅
My brother(53) is in hospital with liver failure , looked totally yellow ...they thought he wasn't going to live ...he still might not , we don't know. But in the end, he was on the street ,doing 3 litre bottles of cider.
All my family are drinkers, some more than others . I drink almost daily but can be just 1 tin , I occasionally do 5/6 pints of a good ale with a buddy , but its rare...I do drink for taste and enjoyment....I could cut it out ,I may well do. 🤔
don't forget truth social platform as plan b ....great message as always, one day at a time, it's the only way they come; I don't have to drink today. I got enough strength for today..been a year since last drink, feels like yesterday...I feel stronger, but can't say I don't want a cold beer sometimes, but what I don't want is how it made me feel after the buzz was gone, and the consequences I rendered while drunk; that I don't miss one bit...
I haven't drink any alcohol since 2009 and I don't miss at all. I have got better things to do than drink alcohol.
Great to hear from you learned more about alcohol from you than any as meetings witch didn't work for me. Not to say anything wrong it works for 1000s of people.
Actually the long time sobriety rate for AA is low. Don't have statistics here, poor success with program and is lousy.
@@jujumulligan43 25 cans of beer to 30 in a day
Don't go to as never again it was the biggest mastake I ever did. That's my view of it
@@jujumulligan43 this man help me to here the truit about it I drank like him 23 years drinking
Used to fly over to Belfast from Manchester or fly to Dublin and get on the Guinness.. Would drink 8 at The Crown in Belfast before even getting to the hotel!!! Now my excitment is waking up sober!
If you go out on a binge session once a month and say spend 100 quid a time and take say 2 days to recover. You are giving away 36 days of your year plus 1200quid. 10% of the year given away for nothing. Wasted time, energy and money.
i remember 1day in a all inclusive Resort in Mexico I drank about 30 pints of beer over about 16 hours. what a waste of time. I think I slept away or felt too lousy to enjoy the rest of the vacation.
It keeps going, 8 years and three months sober now, 46 years old i stopped also.
Weird how alcohol is the only drug in the world where you have to explain to people why you dont take it 😂 The number of confused faces I've had look at me from friends and family for example when I've turned down a drink is beyond me, people would pat you on the back or shake your hand if you told them you had quit heroin but tell them youve quit drinking and they just can't understand why? Haha
Thank you I will try keep trying, it is just so hard
I was drinking more than a 6 pack and going for more. One is one too many one more is never enough. I’m not a person of moderation that’s why I quit.
I drank two cans of strong lager everyday for over 25 years. On my days off ,I could drink four to five cans a day. I would drink any alcoholic drink if it was available, I was insatiable. I have stopped in the past but got straight back on it . I have stopped since the 1st of January and I am determined not to drink again. Ps I am now 56 years young 😊.
You are perfect, Kevin
Thanks for the video freind, so sorry to hear about your wife.
I do drink for the taste of it. It’s weird. Maybe it’s the sugar. I don’t get high, never did. I don’t like getting drunk ..which is rare ..because I need to be in control. For me, especially with the IPAs, it’s the taste. Especially with no eating or after a long workout. I tried non alcoholic IPA today after a long cycle ride and it was great. The placebo effect was there too as I thought I was getting buzzed after two.
I’ve been binge drinking for last 30 years. It’s effected every aspect of my life ..in a negative way.
I have never reached my potential. Ever. I’m 56 now and need to change. Immediately.
So, the non alcoholic is the first step.
Well, I guess if you drink as much non-alcoholic as you do regular (just for the taste) then you have nothing to worry about! So, test that theory, and be honest with yourself. I wish you the best my friend.
@@DougDobak I drink muck less non alcoholic. They have a lot of carbs too.
I have a question. I am 5’ 1” been without for close to 2 years… never lost the weight! Even though I am active (after the initial laziness) But struggling to lose that belly 😅
Get rid of your car if you have one. This will work a treat, guaranteed. Be well and well done on two years.
@@DigitalLazarus 🤨 not where I live… out in the boonies 😆
I will give you what worked for me: diet. Consider abstaining from any foods with added sugar, and consider seriously restricting the consumption of carbohydrates and processed foods. Intermittent fasting is also an awesome tool, even though it sounds awful, it’s really not. You gave up the sauce for two years, you can gain control of your diet, same discipline required and it gets easier. Do some looking around for info on these subjects, you got this 😊
@@MJA5 Thank you!
Try keto
Plenty of utube help & advice
I think we should track our consumption in alcohol units, I understand the idea that it's not a matter of quantity, and that anyways after alcoholism it will be zero units a day/week/year.
But for still active alcoholics harm reduction is important, so the less the better. And for sober alcoholics like you it can be useful to evaluate the stress we put on our body/the severity of the drinking.
Of course, and it's important to remind it, this is still to a certain degree subjective because different bodies handle alcohol differently meaning the same dosis will do more or less harm depending on the person.
In my opinion peaks of 25 pints is very bad but what helped you is your drinking pattern which was healthier.
I didn't drink as much on a single day but my overall pattern was quite bad because I had to take in a quite high dosis on each evening of each day of the year.
I unfortunately relapsed but due to all the work I've done I drink less now and can go with some effort back into sobriety.
This is not very satisfying but without all those efforts and watching hundreds of hours on channels like yours I would be dead now.
I'm not a drinker but my heart goes out to people who have been affected by it l carry the mental scares today because my dad was a alcoholic who would beat me at the age of 5 years old plus my mum ,then disappeared before l was 6 years old leaving my poor mum to raise 5 kids😢
I had a wine or 2 every evening. I feel so much better now I've stopped doing that.
I guess most people would feel better too, if they quit drinking a bottle or 2 of wine every night.
The more u drink, the less u started to need to get drunk
I too lost my wife when my kids were 7 and 9
i remember the questionaire on an aa leaflet. it asked you to be honest with youself so i did it.i scored 20 if i remember right over 3 was heading downhill.20 they said was alcoholic. i can honestly say that at that moment i first accepted i was an alcoholic.that was a catylist that saved me. im now one of those old farts at aa that are 17 yrs plus dry that are forever cracking jokes and laughing.you will become that old fart just start to believe it if you can..xxx
25 pints? If it wasn't for the fact that you're Irish, I would say that's a lot of Guiness to be drinking in one day.
i drink one glass a day and i think thats too much
6’2 ,never realised you are that tall , you’d have been a handy bouncer !!
Same here. The money and time I wasted in the pub from 17 to 25. Could have got myself a great education and a great career. Or maybe not 😊
But the pub didn’t help
I’d lose count on a binge night out , it could be a mixture of beer and spirits so hard to tell but I’d say on a long night out I’d drink 17 drinks
I think you are great
Been trying to quit for a while now
Being a smoker as well as a drinker makes it 100 times worse. A miserable way to go out i tells ya...
i think you need to ask yourself why you’re asking that question.
Is two bottles of red wine per week too much? I have one bottle one night and another a few days later. I drink no other alcoholic drinks.
I can only tell you from my personal perspective. I would rather run a marathon than drink a single drop of alcohol. I hate running 😀
I worked it out to be about 145000 ltrs over 40 years.
Incredible it is,the last nine day indulge,I think I had my ten a day beer, sounds ok till the math is done,
Don t think so mate.No one could drink that amount. You were probably pissed when you worked it out.
In which part of the world are walking in this video?
👍🏻💯🇦🇺
Too much and not enough.
Im gonna guess you mean beer i never liked beer could drink it but didn't like it sometimes I wonder how i can drink wiskey and not even care about a beer
I was daily, up to 4 of the 25 oz cans of ice beer and even more on weekends 🤦🏻♀️
How did you stop 😊
@@aaronholland7598 1st off, went to detox (never did- was so scared) I knew I had to be under medical supervision… stayed 4 days, went home feeling great, went to an addiction counselor once a week for about 6 months… went back to it so quit the counselor (guilt) quit many times and then….. JESUS 💫 I had a deliverance session and have never been the same ❤️❤️❤️
