It has been 8 days for me. My brain is exploding. I am determined to do this. Please pray for me!
Good start Brian. Stay strong. If you feel you need support, DM me: m.me/JamesSwanwickOfficial
@@JamesSwanwick thank you!
I sure will Brian! Me I'm at 7 days BUT my life's returning!
I 'll pray for you 💚
Way to go 👍🏻
I saw this this morning. Before I had my morning drink. I poured it out. And today starts my day 1. Wish me luck. Thanks for the motivation I needed to hear.
You can do this my freind . I got you ❤️👍
I'm going on four years no more depression
@@stevenfenton8137 keep going my freind . You are doing amazing 🤩 🙏👌🤜
Great stuff do it, I’m starting tomorrow 💪
How have you done. ?
45 days sober , never felt so good in my entire life 👍💪
Great to hear that. Stay well and alcohol-free. DM me if you feel you need extra support.
good one
@@JamesSwanwick i will
@@tasmangirl I am not willing
48th day for me -Thanksgiving day. Congratulations! We can do this. We are worth it!
I have struggled with drinking for over 20 years, It has caused traumatic problems throughout my life and I really want to live alcohol free. It is day 2 please pray for me to break this chain and live a prosperous life..
Throw in exercise to double the benefits. The hardest part for me is the same people I hang with questioning the whole meaning of it all and why I did this and why I stopped drinking. I’m being stupid shut up have a drink.
How’d you get on. Did you quit?
My advice is, stay strong and don't look back, my friend. Keep going forward and embrace every moment, and remember, nothing lasts forever.. you got this, mate! You are the special time you create and every minute counts so spend it wisely and hold on, ride the wave of life and you will land on the beach in paradise... Don't let your body control your mind. You are in control, don't ever forget that. You are in control of how you feel, how you want to feel, what you want and what you want to feel like. It's all about mind over matter. Harness your energy and stay balanced. Eat well or what ever you want anything that makes you happy besides drinking. Drink soda on ice instead. Look at youself in the mirror. Get mind strong. You are in control. Everyone is different but if you have a reason to get right do it. Goodluck ✌️
Now 18 hours without my best friend . I am shaking like a leaf and sweating like a pig . This is my seventh attempt but something telling me I have cracked it . Pray for me .
Hey Stevenson, just thought I'd check in and see how everything is going
@@emma.l.kinsey Bro probably died from alcoholism. 💀
@@JackoBanon1 that's not helpful
🙏
Pigs Sweat?
Passing the 70 day sober mark tomorrow! After 25 years of regular, social (and not so social) drinking, I quit. Cravings were intense at first but are far and few between now. Focused, driven, sleep better... yeah - best decision ever! Cheers to sobriety!
Cheers to you. Great job. Stay strong and alcohol-free.
Did you go to rehab???
It's only been two or three years for me, but I'm tired of living this lifestyle. I used to have so much motivation, these days I'm feeling lethargic and bad about myself. I want/need a change. I hope I can make it 70 days, like you.
I also completed my 21 days today after 22 yrs of daily drinking... feel excellent 👍
@@sspsp6545 stay strong, life will improve and you will fully recover and wonder why you ever bothered with something that kills your spirit and life itself x
My wife threatened to leave me if I didn’t stop, so I did. On day 3 she was so concerned about my effects she said I could bring it back if I kept myself to 8 drinks a day and reduced from there so I bought some alcohol. But I didn’t partake, I told her if I drink now I’ll have suffered those days for nothing. My journey has begun. And here’s what’s important, she let me off the hook and I decided to quit for ME, not anyone else. Please wish me luck
Best of luck! 🎉❤
You got this mate!
Well done you 😊
How are you
Tapering off doesn't work. It means you're not serious about your sobriety
If you're finding it difficult, getting bored or have cravings then take things 15 minutes at a time.....just say "no, I'm going to hold out 15 minutes and it'll go away" - that's what helps me! 👌
Lglutimine also helps w cravings as most cravings come from our body seeking the sugar booze 🥃 metabolism as. Our sugar levels drop due to not boozing and your brain craves the booze that was skyrocketing these levels. It also helps the brain become more clear and most boozers lack in this amino acid and other vitamins as we deplet our bodies of them by drinking. There are a lot of thongs that help where people don’t need to drive themselves mad it’s just not discussed as much as it should be
Awesome tip. Thank you for sharing. I'm sure a lot will learn from this.
@@eveevolution1607 I noticed I craved sugar when I quit drinking and subsequently ate a lot of ice cream and baked goods. All carbs really. Trying to do more fruit and less junk. The reality is that with sobriety it's so much more attainable to shop and cook for healthy food because you're not as lazy when you're sober.
I just tell my wife that m gonna go grab a drink, the next 15 minutes is ass whoopin time for me! 😂
I like that theory. Thnx!!
I am on day 6. Just woke up shaky and kinda panicked. Went to my first AA meeting a few days ago. I am determined to get through this for my family
Update?

Do it for you, it’s nice to do it for your family but I failed so many times untill I finally did it for me good luck brother

One thing only one day of the year I really want to get hammered that’s
Christmas Day..,well I’d stopped for 3 years after 2k detox In Marbella Spain
It was my 50 birthday I ordered champagne for my guests at dinner and you guessed it ,….just one glass of Moët and I was full on again starting with beer 🍺 and 12 o clock hit the 🍷 Wine 2 weeks later I was back to my Routine my around the clock ⏰ drinking 5 hrs sleep 😴 then ice cold beer for breakfast , and food is a no no
Cos you throw it all up body wants alcohol not 🍱 food. My Doctor once told me that only 10% of heavy drinkers suffer with hangovers the other 80% don’t suffer any thing apart from liver and the rest of your organs kidneys pancreatic burn out and as you know the only organ to recover from heavy drinking is the liver can heal and depending how badly damaged by the user can return to normal functioning.
Once you cease drinking, However for some it’s two late. They the medical experts on detox that the 3 day sober routines can kill you up to 72 hrs after your last drink ,normally as a result of a seizures due to alcohol with drawel
Currently 10 days sober from drinking & smoking! Sleeping much better, feeling Better aswell..keep myself busy has been the key! Keep going y'all! I'm rooting for all of us! 💪🏿
Yes you have to keep busy or you’ll drive yourself crazy and have lots of panic attacks Ik this comment is old but I’m 8 days sober and my first 3 days were pure hell I ended up in the hospital twice in a week

Hi!
I am 12 days clean and sober after drinking heavily (including in the morning to stop the shakes). I found the first 3/4 days absolutely awful to get through with moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms. I was struggling each hour not to pick up.
I found talking through what I was going through very helpful. I took a sleeping aid as I was going up to 3 nights without sleep during my drinking and during the first week of quitting. I also gave a family member my car keys and bank card so I physically couldn’t buy booze.
12 days in and I feel amazing. Sleeping for 6/7 hours solid. Hardly any anxiety. My skin looks better, I have so much energy and I feel hopeful instead of suicidal.
I have been through AA, therapy and rehab. They didn’t work for me, sadly. I just had to get to my rock bottom.
I hope not to drink again. But I’m just taking it a day at a time.
Thank you for listening.
giong through the same right now. a sixpack a day and last week for the first time in my life, i started to drink in the early morning... I pulled the break now. Today will be the first day sober in 2 years.
Let's chat about that. DM me: m.me/JamesSwanwickOfficial
Update?
Awesome stuff. I'm in the same boat, 4 days for me now, feel like garbage but know the time has come.
I decided to do a 30 sober challenge combined with a 20-4 intermittent fasting schedule and primarily eating vegetables and fish. I feel great mentally and physically, sleep way better, I am losing weight rapidly and my overall mood and enthusiasm is through the roof; I am on day 16 now. I have not gone even one week without alcohol since my freshman year in college and I am 52 years old. Instead of a cocktail, I now drink lemon water (1/2 a lemon per 8 oz glass).
Kind regards, Troy Duncan
I was also an every day drinker.
Congratulations on taking a step forward. Stay on track. Losing weight, better sleep, feeling great- these are just bonuses. DM me and let's chat: m.me/AlcoholFreeLifestyle
@@troyduncan1969 me too... i'm on a 30 days sober today. I feel very better and sleep better. plus: now I watch movies with my son, instead of sleeping after 5 minutes and it's so funny.
Well done to you.❤️❤️❤️
Well done! same age and same story. Same challenge.
I thought cutting back would help...NOPE it didn't!
I thought drinking only after a certain time would help...NOPE it didnt!
I also tried drinking only on the weekend would work...NOPE it didn't work.
I had to totally detox my body and just QUIT!! It was destroying my relationship with family, friends, career, health, finances and more. Just work on quiting, you will feel so much better, focused and see amazing results in every area of your life. Especially think more clearly. Good luck everyone.
Thank you for sharing. Good on you for not quitting on finding a way. Message me if you need further support: m.me/JamesSwanwickOfficial
Ya I tried the drinking only on the weekend or special occasions. Nope. Me too. Did not work. It’s all or nothing for me. All the best
I played all those games, too.
Twice!
The only way out is through.
Life's just better without alcohol, once you have realised that you don't need it anymore. Well done for getting clean, I'm 16 months sober now.
Hey Tequesha! Hope you doing well. Any updates you are willing to share?
I’ve been drinking vodka every for the past 22 years, I’m on my third day of being sober, thank you for that inspiring information
Did you drink vodka everyday? How much of it per day?
What about withdraws I thought after so many years had to slow down slowly or it is dangerous to just stop.
Bro did you quit the alcohol
Doc said for health reasons I have to quit the alcohol. It’s been 11 months, I’m 70, and I went from 245 down to 185. I never dieted, the weight loss was strictly from the abstinence of sugary alcohol. A 44 waist down to a comfortable 36. Feeling amazing!
Please pray for me.
I've been drinking so much and so disappointed in myself.
I'm never drinking again!
Prayers up for you 🙏. Just note that its a slow journey and can take months for the mind to adjust for life without alcohol but very worth it when you stick to it.
I drink everyday, this is day 1 without beer and wiskey, its already feeling hard and im trying my best because of this vid, everytime i want to drink i play this vid

Good 4 u im hoping 2 stop myself tired of it .
I started today.
I have spent months researching into stopping drinking and discovered an awesome website at Sebs Magic Tactic (google it if you are interested)
I feel awful right now from a weekend of binge drinking. I woke up this morning nearly in tears from guilt and nausea. It has been a broken record like this for me for years now. I told myself I didn’t want to feel like this ever again. I think it’s time to start on the path to sobriety.
Thank you James
Great that you've decided to go alcohol-free now. Time to stop feeling awful and time for a change. Message me for support: m.me/JamesSwanwickOfficial
I quit drinking alcohol a little over a year ago.
How? I asked myself this question: "What benefit has drinking alcohol given me?" The answer was: "Nothing, nothing at all." Then, I asked myself this question: "Has drinking alcohol done me any harm?" The answer was: "Yes it has, many times." That's all it took for me. I quit drinking that day and I went for a long walk. I started feeling better very quickly. I don't miss alcohol at all.
@@forrestb1165 absolutely!
There is ZERO benefit to drinking except a nice feeling for about an hour. For that hour you sacrifice 23 more each day in ways you can’t even see. And the negatives you CAN see get worse and more numerous.
I’m on day 24 and am sick and tired of being sick and tired-and very tired of ruining every day.
What I did was change my association with wine-which I’ve tried before but it never stuck until now.
When I think about wine I instantly feel exhausted and nauseous. Even when I see commercials with people socializing and traveling I think “ugh, how can they be like that when it’s all so physically demanding?”
I don’t know how I ever drank so much wine-never again.
I felt the same way..it’s a terrible feeling..hang in there..
Me too
Today is my first day I hope and pray I can get through it 🙏

@@davidfunchion6613 100% I'm still teetotal and never felt better and fat mass gone down, hope all goes well for you
Yeah, those sweats are annoying. It all gets better a few days later and you'll feel amazing!
Coffee, Sugar and Nicotine on the weekdays to keep you awake at a shitty job, destressed and less anxious.
Alcohol on the weekends to make you numb, docile, distracted and dumb.
Nicely said.
Seems to be a connection between caffein and alcohol for many people.

Day 5 again....I’m worried about health and losing my life over this stupid thing I’ve done to myself for 15 years. I literally don’t even want to drink and still do, I don’t understand it. I know it ruins everything and is the sole root of why I am not in a better situation, relationship, position in my life. This has got to be the one, I can’t afford rehab. Have to do this for myself before anyone else. Thanks for the video!
Great that you've realized what effects alcohol has had on you. Next step is to do something about it. Message me here and let's chat: facebook.com/AlcoholFreeLifestyle
I’ve been sober for 14 years. 8 years ago I broke out with a case of homeownership and 4 years ago I caught Businessownership. It’s worth it. Keep going friends.
I need this. I'm a drunk. And want to stop TODAY.
Message me and let's come up with a plan that'll work for you: james@jamesswanwick.com
Help me
I quit drinking 8 years now. I was addicted to alcohol for more than 20 years. It was a herculean task initially, but I kept counting days of being sober and finally, I won the battle with myself. I'm happy and elated. And proud of myself. I don't know if this might help others, but it helped me. I used to drink club soda or pop soda to kill the craving. Give it a try.
Also, I have quit smoking and it's 12 years now.
Amazing. Hats off to you. Stay well and alcohol-free.
Way to go. If I can quit smoking I can quit booze. I preferred smoking over drinking ...alcohol Is tiring me out and zapping my motivation plus I’m putting on weight. Nothing good about alcohol
@@AP-nx6xo Thanks Bro! I quit smoking by fluke. Apparently it was my friend's birthday and casually I asked what he wants as a birthday gift? He looked at me and said, "Quit smoking." I smiled and readily agreed. He knew, I was struggling with smoking addiction. Days passed by and I won. It was super hard initially, now I look back and laugh at it. Thanks.
@@manojlonar4912 ya I had a lot of withdrawals quitting smoking ie: chills, muscle aches, insomnia and on and on ....I couldn’t believe it! Now I’m ready for the withdrawals quitting alcohol . I guess they say the first week to 10 days is pretty rough but I guess it differs from person to person. I’m ready !
@@AP-nx6xo I wish you best of the lucks Bro. You will overcome and win👍🏼.
Hi James. Thank you. Today I completed day 37 with no alcohol. I didn't find alcohol till my mid 40's, and after loss, grief & PTSD, I drank fairly heavily on & off for a few years. Several 30, 60, 90 odd days of abstaining yet often some pain triggers & back I have dived down the rabbit hole. Last time I went deeper than the rabbits dare descend, I found the basement and stayed there for 15 days. It scared the living daylights out of me. Perhaps I needed to see how horrible & painful the basement was to realise that I will never return to that grim, imbibing space. Never. As you state - the first 10 days (for me) were unpleasant. Toxins leaving the body, body odour no matter how many showers, night & day sweating, irritability, nausea, foggy, lack of focus, feelings of shame, hazy non-memories of 15 days drunk to block out pain. And yes, disrupted sleep & lack of it. I drank gallons of pure water, forgave myself, held onto the fear of the basement and slowly I saw my colour returning, brighter eyes, better sleep, slow cravings for salad items. Patience and not trying to achieve too much was positive along with naps, copious litres of water, vitamin supplements until the cravings for greens & healthy foods kicked in. I'm a different person at day 37. I have support, I understand triggers, I walk, I continue to hydrate and now sleep deeply with dreams. I am filling with optimism, a hopeful promise of a better tomorrow than today, and on the journey I will remain. I confess my talk & words have been cheap in the past with relapses however I'm dedicating time each day to recovering, resting, reading, checking in with said support circle & planning day-to-day. Alcohol is poison in pretty labelled bottles. A kombucha, a switchel, a coffee and pure water serve me well and are far more prettier. Glad I have found your channel tonight...much to explore. Peace to you, James. Michael
Thank you for sharing. You're very brave. I'm glad you found my channel too. Great work on 37 alcohol-free days. DM me if you feel you need support staying alcohol-free: m.me/JamesSwanwickOfficial
Thank you for sharing your story, it just motivated ((ME ) a total stranger. So keep up the good work & God bless you 🙏🏾💯💪🏾✌🏽
My last beer was 4 days ago, I'm finding it so difficult. I can't just have one or two, it's all or nothing. I don't even enjoy it anymore. I've been ill last few days so that helps take the urge away. I gave up smoking 16 years ago, I wish I had the same willpower with alcohol.
Stay strong. Watch my new videos at alcoholfreelifestyle.com/youtube and let's get you feeling strong again.
On day one after a relapse. I am watching videos like this to help keep me motivated. I am tired of being broke and always wanting to drink just to enjoy my day.
These videos definitely help 😊
I started journaling my feelings and reactions as I started through my own personal process. One of the biggest revelations I've had is most of my consumption was driven by anxiety. As with other attempts in the past, I was also trying to cut out other unhealthy habits at the same time. Which only resulted in heightened anxiety! No wonder I could never 'win'! So I'm taking it one thing at a time now and it's working much better. Giving into that serving of fries isn't the end of the world if it helps you achieve your long term goal.
Day 7. Feeling ok about this. Had the urge earlier today but forced myself to go to the gym.
Awesome, way to go!
Day one today!
I have been drinking myself stupid for 7 years,
It’s time to give up and be happy.
Wish me luck

I love to drink, but am not an alcoholic. I don’t drink to get drunk but love a couple after work. Just had a new baby and I’m open to seeing how not drinking at all for a few weeks makes me feel as I’m now in my late 30’s and alcohol hits a bit harder than it did in my 20’s. Thanks for the video, I took it to heart.
I am 64 I gave up being a chain smoker over a month ago I was a heavy drinker for as long as I can remember But gave up over two weeks ago It hasn't been too bad too be honest Hope every one succeeds in giving up Cheers Mark

I prayed the Lord’s Prayer after an Aa meeting where a person claimed prayer has made the difference, he had been sober 17 years, I figuire I have nothing to lose because I was not sleeping and thinking I’m a be that can’t do this, I prayed the prayer that was near Christmas’s 1976, slept like a baby that night , woke up free from alcohol. Still was some tough times but sober ever since , could it of been the prayer, nothing could make me believe anything different, 73 now married 48 years 3 good kids 8 grandkid and 1 great grandchild, retired living my dream off grid in wilderness
I'm sober for 10 days.. I impressed with you and the words "short time pain and long time gain" Hope I will strive and intend to stop this toxin forever.. thanks alots for your words and advice..
Utterly inspiring, thank you James. Just day 3 now but I’m doing it this time. I’m sick of the fogginess, the sickness, headaches, the bags under my eyes. I’m feeling better already and looking forward to waking up feeling fresh. That gives me more pleasure than any drink could. Thank you again James, brilliant content.
Thank you Graham. Good start. Keep those alcohol-free days coming. We'd love to chat with you and see how we can support you. Message me and let's chat: james@jamesswanwick.com
Im on day 1 looking for some advice. History drinking 6 years started with wine progressed to vodca. Up to today 1/2 pint of vodka or a bottle of wine daily. My anxiety is ridiculous, noise sensitivity, irritable, and shaky hands. Taking dhlpa, gaba, vitamins, b12 injections, and chugging water. Everyone says "it depends" but im wondering from others real life experience when will this at least ease up? Any input would be appreciated
@@Sh-ih5vk Hey hows everything going? Still on the af path?
@@emma.l.kinseyplease helpe out i am nearly at deads end been drinking for almost 10 years right now I am 27 I don't wanna die young please help me out the anxiety is literally started to get on my nerves 😔
I’m coming up to 4 years sober. Life couldn’t be better. One day at a time.
I've sobered up before with 1 or 2 month goals. My longest stretch was 2.5 months. I'm doing sober October! I'm considering giving it up all together just to see what happens. Day 1 has been just terrible as I got trashed yesterday with friends.
Thanks for the inspiring video. Wish me luck!

Day 2 decided to do a 30 day challenge for the new year & feeling a bit anxious today last night kept waking. But I am determined it does sound beautiful on the other side and I can’t wait to experience it! I see it like this, I already know what it feels like to be drunk & hungover most days out of the week, Why not try something new like sobriety & just sit with my feelings & true self? Thanks for these videos James they really do help 🎉 cheers to a potential life changing challenge! thank you I will be watching & liking these videos as they will be my new crutch until I don’t feel the need to drink liquid poisonous drugs anymore.
Hey Raf, hows it going?
Great video. I liked when you said “ stay the course “ and “ short term pain for long term gain. Amen I’m a few days into stopping and it’s hard but I will stop.
Coming up on day 6 tomorrow, I already feel so much better, I’ve been drinking beer for years daily and I’m proud of myself that I’m finally taking the initiative to get clean.
Great job! What are you doing to stop?
Thank you for this post. I really needed to hear it today. I am now 6 days sober. I feel amazing. No plans to go back.
8 days for me today as well. The longest I've gone in 3 years. Lots of sleep interruptions like nightmares and daily anxiety. On the flipside, my energy has been better, more productivity on the weekends, and my workouts in the gym have been better than ever 💪Hoping to get my 30 day chip in AA
Great to hear! Keep it up buddy!
I’m on day 7. Spent my Saturday night with family and now playing a game drinking some Gatorade zero haha. I watch these videos to remind myself of the amazing benefits of not drinking something toxic.
Love the clarity on how one feels such the fogness, lathergic,lack motivation and marital conflicts. Indeed after 3 to 7 days, the energy and mood changes to positives. Anxiety drops 😕 blood pressure goes down tremendously. Certainly we not designed to be pouring the alcohol poison in our bodies. Thank you for your insights.
you're welcome
I just stumbled into this video and thanks for the info. It's day 7 for me. I've been drinking every day for the past 2 years. I finally dicided I don't want that anymore. Ive been feeling better this whole week. Going to the gym every day and eating healthy. I just hope I don't relapse. I try to tell myself just one more day and that's been helping. Thank you again. Wish me luck.
It was really hard the first few days, I hospilitized myself as I experienced seizures and other severe side effects. Now I am taking 1 day at a time and educating myself on what to expect next. Thank you for your video!
I'm sorry to hear what you went through. Message me if you need support: m.me/JamesSwanwickOfficial

Hospitalized myself as well for a week. Wasnt doing too well and still going through it. Hope youre well
Always be careful when your alcohol dependent. Don’t let someone tel you it’s ok to just stop it really is not.
@@ashleewainwright7877 thank you! I've heard it's very dangerous to just go cold turkey. So, what to do?
Thank you for posting brother.. I went sober for 3 years or so then went back unfortunately.. trying my BEST now to be sober once again for my 1st new born baby boy... Pray for me bc my journey begins the moment I wake up tomorrow.

I have be alcohol free for nearly a year. I only drink on high days and holidays. Half a glass of wine my birthday and Christmas and a little when I was on holiday. I’ve lost weight, sleep better and don’t miss the bad feeling in the morning. Plus I am saving loads of money. I wish everyone trying to stop or minimise their drinking the best of luck and stay strong.
I have 25 years sober (35 years if you count the 10 years before I tried being a social drinker for a few years) I’m starting a 7 day sobriety challenge with awesome speakers and I-m glad to see I’m not the only one that are starting with 7 days .good job.
Today is day 10. Gained 70 pounds over the last five years as I drank more and more. The final time drinking was a 12-pack of beer and I wasn't even buzzed.
Don't feel amazing yet, but no longer feel run down anymore. Just feeling a little better each day and lost six pounds so far. I want to have more energy, mental focus, not waste money, and shed all of the health problems I've been having over the years (fatigue, pre-diabetic, morbidly obese, depression, and hypertension). I'm looking forward to reclaiming life. All of these videos help.
You're off to a good start. The benefits will come in along the way. Patience and determination is the key. Glad to hear the videos helps. Email me if you feel you need extra support: james@alcoholfreelifestyle.com

Great video mate :) I've been off the beer / alcohol for 1 month now & yeah once you get through the first 7 days you get a entire hit of clarity and focus... Its worth the short term pain... 100%
Amazing Grant. Well done. Thank you for sharing your story.
I quit for three years. in two or three days I felt like a kid again it was amazing. Fell off the wagon though. this video is motivating me to get after it again
You can do it again. Book a call here and we'll take it from there: jamesswanwick.com/schedule
Think we always have to keep in mind that one drink is too much.
Our realities are full of good, bad and ugly. We persist.
Never hear of someone's life improving when they start drinking alcohol. 16 months sober now and I'm much happier without the poison....
Well said and well done. Cheers to you.

I do 7-10 days easy. This guy is helping a certain group of people who are very different. I salute you're effort.
Thank. Message me if you want to go further alcohol-free: james@alcoholfreelifestyle.com.
Love yourself so much that you no longer need a drink. 💗
I was drinking heavily after work, decided to quit in 09 for 10 years then had a glass of wine in Aug. of 19 I am retired now and live in by the Mexican Caribbean and after last nights drinking, I think I will finally just go alcohol free again. I have many different choices that actually taste better with no alcohol. Thank you for the post
I quit alcohol completely for 2 years, not one single drink. I felt exactly how he describes and then some. I was the healthiest, happiest and fittest I had ever been.
I have since started drinking again, yet not as frequently and do enjoy a drink every now and then , especially with a nice meal. Those 2 years were definitely worth it. At the very least it taught me to enjoy alcohol in moderation. Obviously not everyone can do this, neither could I at one point that is why I stopped. I wouldn’t get down on yourself for not being able to quit completely. You can certainly mitigate against the worst effects of alcohol with a healthy lifestyle (food and exercise) and a disciplined approach when you do drink (don’t drink to excess or everyday for no reason). Asking yourself why you do drink is also important, you’ll soon figure out if it’s for the wrong reasons.
The funny thing was when I was not drinking at all I did not miss alcohol at all, the only thing I missed was the taste of beer. So much so that I would drink the occasional non alcoholic beer to quench that desire. Spirits and everything else was so unappealing it was laughable and to an extent they still are. I like beer and good wine (the nicer kind) and the occasional cocktail but you won’t see me downing straight spirits anymore 🤮 🍷
Good luck to you all. One day at a time!
That's how it starts. I wonder how much you're drinking again now. Hope you're okay
@@Candlewick14 I’m actually 4 months alcohol free now. Feeling great
I’m on day 4. Trying to stay as positive as possible and stay the track!
How's it going? Day 3 here.
You are doing brilliant work. I am grateful to stumble upon this. Day 3. There have been many day 3s , even 40 days ...but I have relapsed . Hope to keep this longer mate. Thanks .
Great job! Stay focused, stay alcohol free.
Thank you very much for your video that was awesome you put things in words very kindly I'm excited for my first 7 days in a while thanks again God bless DJ
Tomorrow is day 7 for me. Quit smoking at the same time. He's right about the poor sleep and irritability. Gonna tough it out.
Did you feel any anxiety?
@@madd6795it’s day 5 for me, felt anxiety today yeah
@madd6795 I've always had issues with anxiety and worrying too much about stuff that always worked out in the end. But a tremendous amount of it dissappeared within a couple weeks after I quit alcohol. Been 5 months now. Most time in my whole life without booze. Everything in my life has improved 100%!!! I wish you all the best on your own journey!
Awesome! Just what I needed to hear this AM. God sent video! Day 3. I want to be happy, healed and clear👌👌👌
You got this! Stay strong and focused.
I’m only day one , alcohol has dammed near ruined my life, I feel
terrible but I will do this because I can’t waste anymore life
Stay strong. :)
It's interesting to see the commentary and I for one one two congratulate the people that are really making an effort and the speaker.. this guy has a beautiful loving demeanor and he is an asset to all of us more than just alcohol-free but an element of spirituality comes through his message! A real charisma without a preaching angle to his messaging it's very endearing and I appreciate this approach.
i gave up drinking alcohol just over a month ago,I have got high blood pressure,its scared me that much i haven't touched alcohol since.I feel so much better.I have changed my diet,stoped drinking caffine and stoped salt and sugar in my diet.I feel reborn,healthier,more energetic,no more headaches and pains in my legs.I feel so much better than I did before.
This is only day 3 for me and I'm having such a hard time sleeping. Congratulations on your journey. Sounds like you're killing it!

Even you don’t want to , still it drags you into doing It. you know our brain works in both ways, if you control this sudden strong thinking and imagination effortlessly at that time then you can able to resist yourself. And also to replace it with batter and useful one. Using meditation and self hypnosis without investing any extra time into it.

3 days from both simultaneously? Good luck.
Same :D but day 5
You can do it man.. I'm on day one!
I’m drinking everything I have left in the house tonight. Going to fall into that hangover and not go back. I stocked up on coffee snacks and cigarettes. I need to get sober so bad. This video is inspiring me to feel like crap and feel better soon. Thank you!
Hey. U can do it. Hope ur doing good.
I understand..be ok
still here. day 1 lol I need to do this. I've been saying this for a long time. Once again, thank you for all your videos.
This has motivated me to make a change! Wish me luck in my new journey. I might attempt to give it up after work today. I am tired of the stuff dominating my life.
I quit drinking three days ago. My stomach has already improved. I had the most productive day I can remember today. I feel honest, and undefeated. Only a bit nervous at first, but that is already getting better. I like how you present your case for giving my myself 7 to 10 days. My thoughts are changing toward my drinking past every minute. Thank You. I am encouraged and aware.
I have also having huge stomach issues. Burning bloating pain its killing me..
I'm at the end of day 10.. just like you explain. My sleep pattern is terrible. I am having mood swings. I know I don't want to drink but it's also not an easy ride.. I really pray this stage does fade away coz I'm feeling like a prick towards my 6yo daughter rite now.. I know she doesn't deserve this but I also know the rewards of me sticking to it will show in the long run
'Feel the way nature intended you to feel...' Such a profound statement my brother.
Thank you for this I’ve subscribed and will look daily for your guidance
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for this message, it’s been on my mind for a long time pretending I don’t have a problem with drink but I do quietly,time for a change I think
Let's get you started. DM me: m.me/JamesSwanwickOfficial
Set your quit date for 1/1/2021. That's a month from now. Don't announce it to anyone, just enjoy some final drinks and wean down. Make a plan. Get the fuck outside in the fresh air. Work out, etc. My quit date was 1/1/2020 and I am so glad I was sober during this year especially. I'm her to cheerlead for all those going for 1/1/2021!
I’ve worked in law-enforcement for over 20 years. The people that get arrested and have the worst time in jail are the alcoholics. The guys that do heroin and everything else are OK after a couple of days. The alcoholics are medicated and stay in bed for usually a week. I choose to stop drinking today. Thank you for your video.
Its day one. I just stumbled across your video. Sounds amazing. I have to quit as my liver enzymes are slightly elevated and its just time. Scared but hopeful. Older and hoping for the best. I don't see people my age quit that often. That was what I was looking for when I opened up you tube. Thanks for the beautiful video with the positive message.
You can do it! Good decision to quit. Don't mind others and focus on you. You're what's important. DM and let's chat: m.me/AlcoholFreeLifestyle
