Thank you Leon!! I am business man who drank for over 35 years and i quite 38 day ago and I thank you for helping me better understand and giving me the courage to quite. I feel better and better every day.
I’ve just had that rotten experience you talked about.I stopped last year for 135 days.Got into the comfort zone you spoke about and had a drink.Then slowly but surely went backwards.I’m restarting again today.
that is the cycle! Vicious. Once you realize why you drink alcohol, then it gives you an idea why you should quit. I like drinking alcohol because I like getting drunk. I never like having just one beer and calling it a night. To me, I would rather have zero alcohol than one beer. So why would I fight myself just to drink a couple of beers or try to. That’s when I realize I just had to quit, and now four years sober and I’ve never been happier!
I seem to notice this too. I don't necessarily want to get drunk but I don't want 1 either. I want 3-5 and then I want it more frequently. I've noticed energy required to moderate alcohol quantities on any given night and then to also moderate frequency (just one day a wk, just on weekends, etc.) is more energy than when I've just been abstinent and remove it as an option.
I have noticed the same thing about myself! Your comment has been very helpful. Thank you again. I'm going to just stop and keep pushing forward. It's hard but we cannot definitely do this!
@@patrickjulius7352 Same! I agree with you both. I'm going to just stop. I like the feeling it gives me but I know if I keep on, it'll be an early grave for me. I try and stay busy to help curb the cravings. I feel so much better when I don't drink! Here's to not drinking and never going back after today! 😊
Keep going! It's so important to! Consistency is key when overcoming addictions, even when you're having a bad day, always follow through! 3 weeks is a great milestone already! Keep it up!
Whenever I tell anyone in my family or social circle that I don’t t drink alcohol, I never have in my life, they look at me like I just told them I robbed a bank and am serial killer….
The hangover from hell!! That’s what made me quit and stay sober. I had a devastating relationship with alcohol and i know that after 33yrs sober I have absolutely won. I had alcohol poisoning that last time, and I know deep in my heart I will NEVER drink again. Why? Because I know it would kill me. The end!!
I lost my 22 year old son to suicide 1037 days ago.Quitting alcohol is simple compared to that. I parallel the two in order to put in scale of all the worst days Ive had and am preparing for better days ahead.
Thank you for your excellent videos Leon. I love your different approach and ability to communicate. It's like listening to a close friend. I stopped drinking five months ago and it's been easier than I thought, you're so right. You just have to change your mindset and make the decision. When moments of weakness do arise I just think of your videos and say to myself "well I'm not going down that road again, it's not worth it!" Keep up the good work and thank you again!
Great video Leon, I am a month without putting that poison in my mouth, I haven't been WATCHING your videos, I been STUDYING it🤫🙃. Tonight is also a big soccer match between Portugal vs France in the Euro 2024. Normally I will chill by myself on a cold day and have poison to drink to enjoy the game. But screw that, I can enjoy watching the game without drinking poison. All thanks to your videos, my mindset has shifted. When I have extra cash, I want to learn more and get deeper into first principal thinking and just learn. I NEVER ever thought, It would be so easy for me to quit alcohol aka poison. Thank you again Leon, you deserve way more subs❤❤❤...
Just over 6 months free, mood, sleep, productivity and body starting to look better due to staying on track with excercise and diet and can still see alot of room for improvement. Down side is the hype if alcohol and the feeling of being left out but the biggest win for me is my bank account 👍 pro's out weigh it all stay on track and stay strong people
Just do not drink no matter what happens. I can Promise you, as people promised me, that one day the obsession will be gone, and you won't know when that happened, One day, I was like"I haven't thought of Alcohol, and I have no idea what date and time that happened..When I quit, I was so bad, I had tell myself "I am not going to drink for the next 5 minutes" And then I am not going to drink for the next hour, and then I will not drink today, maybe tomorrow, and tomorrow reset the 24 hour clock. Trust me, Do not drink,. And he's right,, you need to do it for yourself. I am sober 13 years.
@juliealbright5191 thank you, I'm currently at a cook out. All the grown up outside eating, drinking, talking louds, etc. I'm inside with the kids, watching them play video games, not drinking of course. No craving. Noone offering me a beer or a glass of wine anymore. Thank goodness
Hey, congs and proud of you and everyone who has had managed to quit alcohol even if I don’t know you. I’ve been trying to quit on and off since January and it has been a struggle. I have tried practically everything I can. Gym, therapy, church, whatever I can think of but every month or two I drink for one night and drink heavily then go back to quitting. I feel like I don’t have the strength and I’m losing the battle. I don’t drink everyday, I don’t even like it but when I do I do it heavily. I regret the day I first tasted alcohol and wish I could turn back time. It has damaged the relationship I have with the love of my life, it has damaged how my mother sees me because my father was a heavy abuser of alcohol. I have tried but failed. I feel alone in this battle and just want to find a way to stop. Please advise how you managed because I feel helpless
Hallo, I can relate so much with your journey. I too don't drink daily and like you will drink heavily every now and again. Have also been trying to quit for the longest time. Just can't understand why I touch the poison when I know how much it's ruining my life.

@@christopherham113 don’t drink today. Stop now. Drinking today will make it harder for tomorrow. Win today and each day going fwd gets easier for me
Over a year now , thanks Leon. You must know your stuff, I stopped just of your videos. I’m not going back. Thanks again 👍🏻
Congratulations! That's an amazing milestone to hit!
3 weeks sober and still having problems sleeping but I will not give up
Keep going! It's so important to! Consistency is key when overcoming addictions, even when you're having a bad day, always follow through!
3 weeks is a great milestone already! Keep it up!
Well done mate. I'm still on the bottle!
@@robertmason6366 do you want to stop drinking
Things will get better day by day. Persevere! Onwards and upwards!
21 days sober
Me too! Stay strong
Today I celebrate 9 years of Sobriety....I am not going back!
I am tired of drinking. 3-4 four nights a week. My brain doesn’t feel good.
I was on the path to quitting alcohol. You and stopdrinkingexpert both gave me inspiration

@juliealbright5191 I'm at a cookout now. Beer, wine, laughing, everywhere. I just had food, and a diet coke. And sitting with the kids

I have actually have gotten pissed off at alcohol for screwing me I will not give in. Failure for me is not a option
It doesn't only destroys the user but also all those in the user's orbit. Partner, kids etc. Awful to do that to them when they're innocent.
True words!
Success sometimes is your biggest failure…….
Yep!
the total collapse in sex drive killed it for me. Couldn't find a way around it so went back to drinking. And no it didn't come back after a few weeks
You gotta find an attractive partner. If you need beer goggles just to do it that’s a bad sign bra. With all due respect
Stop drinking and take Zinc but not too much
This is an awesome video! Love your content.

So best thing is to stay in the pain/action phase and avoid the pride/comfort altogether.
I’d agree 100%! But the only way you can recreate pain is striving towards improvement and a goal - which is why we need a vision
Not sure if I really understand, I really enjoy going out and having a few drinks...
Check out Antony William
28 days sober today. No discernible difference in any way. Feel exactly the same.
Dude , are you copying Beckers thumbnails ? lol
40 years of solid boozing now.
If i give up I guarantee ww3 will turn nuclear 😂🎉.
Poor me,poor me,pour me a drink 🍸 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dude is a joke.
Wrong, just you, kid....
