Awesome... better relationships fat loss better sleep better mental health less chance of making life altering mistakes freedom to drive whenever you want
It is genuinely baffling how true this actually is. Literally everything on this list is true but I have one more for you. Cleanliness. Along with that free time comes more time and energy to clean. With nothing to do during those hours and having that energy it's like the perfect storm for cleaning. My lifestyle is incredibly more clean
I stopped 6 years ago drank 3-4pints of vodka and 20 beers a day and was functioning! Then I stopped on own no AA nothing just stopped! Nvr looked back!
This is my 3rd day sober I’m so proud of myself I woke up feeling so good and instead of buying a can of Smirnoff smash I went and got me a smoothie! I should’ve been did this 🎉
@@deliennemoncrieft1688 Ive noticed a massive difference - i dont feel anxious anymore, lot more calmer, Im a little restless at night but I expected that- I guess over time it will go away
I gave up alcohol and I thought I would feel more motivation and energy to become more physically active, but then I remembered that I was always unmotivated and low on energy even before I picked up drinking. So quitting it didn't change my lazy unmotivated personality. I still never went back to drinking because I'm saving money.
One important thing when trying to cut out is to not hang around people who are drinking. You have to separate yourself until it's manageable. Now I can be around people friends/family who are not drinking. Im no longer tempted after some of the amazing results after only 2 months in.
I truly wish I had the amount of motivation and or courage Youguys have .. I’ve been dealing with bipolar depression since I was 13 I’m now 22 and within the last year I’ve been drinking heavily to cope with the mental pain I truly have no clue how to escape
I'm having the opposite effect, 2 months or sober, after over 15 years of putting vodka in my coffee at 415am and over a case of beer all day long. Now I'm getting over weight, depressed, anxious. Just going threw the motions. No joy. Never had a hangover tho
I gave up alcohol 14 days ago and already feel so much better. I hike or jog 5-6 days a week. I probably won't make any physically changes because I love to eat though lol
Congratulations bro and you killing it out there in them yards and I appreciate your motivation talks as being an independent business owner Ain't Easy but if we all stick together and pull one another up spiritually it's nothing we cant do 💪
Iam so happy for you brother , I was really drunk 3 times over 5 year period, it gets easier stay sober after 1 year , but most importantly don’t visit places where alcohol that helped me a lot.
I’m going on a week of no alcohol and definitely don’t miss the groggy mornings the day after a night of drinking. I’m actually traveling and decided to cut alcohol for more energy and yeah I’m not missing it.😎
This is very inspirational. About a month ago my husband was talking about and wanting to gradually stop drinking and smoking. Always said he drank because of “something”. Before we met he was always drinking every weekend with his buds. But there’s also more drinking he was exposed to growing up. I always told anyone I have ever spoken to/known; you’re the only person that can control your life/your future at the end of the day.
I noticed absolutely no difference after 90 days without alcohol. I stopped alcohol on Jan 1st this year and stopped denying myself at the end of March after absolutely no weight loss, no improvement in mood, no change in weight, no change in physique. In fact I managed to achieve the best body I've ever had even when I was drinking daily.
Thanks bro for sharing! I’m on a break for a while too so I can focus on getting in the best shape. It’s been 15 days and I’m striving for 6 months. I might stop drinking period. It’s not a good feeling just for a quick buzz.
I broke my leg in early November and as a result of my use I had basically just ignored anything to do with my health…especially my weight. I was weighed at the orthopedic surgeons office and the number literally shocked TF out of me. I knew I was staring down the barrel of at least two full months of sitting on my ass and I knew I had two choices…stop or don’t. I could come out of this better or I could come out of this worse. I decided that this was an answered prayer and it was time to stop. Almost 3 months later and I’m 32 pounds down and so thankful I broke my freaking leg❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice one , I've just reached a month without alcohol, it's total freedom, I didn't realise how much my mental health would improve by giving up , everything has now changed , I'm definitely more relaxed and chilled out without drink.
I am a weekend binge drinker.. i am now 1 week sober.. going back to my fitness routine from tomorrow.. want to lose 15 kilos before the end of the year and also get my sleep cycle and mental health bsck on track..and sobriety is the key to it all..
Approaching my second week sober after drinking every night to ease my mind before going to sleep. Not only did i come to the realization im probably killing most of my gym gains, but the alcohol really wasnt doing much for me like i thought it did. Ashwaghanda and melatonin have definitely done me justice in my nightly routine. ✅
I just got sober again 2 days and I feel peaceful and joyful to live another day sober, Last year I had 6 months sober and I lost 40 pounds I was fit and I was running marathons, and made allot of money ,then I relapse and got fat for 6 months
I've always loved drinking. I'm very social person and know many people. When I go to a bar somebody is always there to buy me a drink. After 2 or 3 I feel confident and great. But the next thing I'm drunk. Then have a hangover, then have another drink to feel better. I'm by no means dependent on alcohol as I can go weeks without drinking no problem. But when I start to drink I find it so hard to say no. I cant imagine going into a bar and drinking coke or orange juice. I'd love to try though
I've started my no alcohol journey as of yesterday. I tallied up the alcohol purchases through my bank account and realized that I was spending over $750 a month on booze. That, and the fact that I've gained almost 90 lbs and hate the way I look.
Last drink I had was 1/1/24 and today’s 1/24!!! No alcohol and i feel amazing yes no hangovers but I’m losing belly fat and definitely less bloating!!!
Not sure if it's mentioned, but if you are considered 'relatively healthy' in terms of metabolism and quality of food intake (so you eat mostly clean, in good shape and athletically capable from earlier life exercise while doing only household/yard chores, abs sometimes slightly showing in the morning), weekend alcohol habits will result in a weekly digestion process where...by Tues, Weds and Thursday your stomach will be in tip-top shape and capable of quick digestion. But as soon as you start drinking (beer in my case) on Thursday or Friday, the stomach region visibly bloats forwards, sideways, and will stay like that until Monday going into Tuesday. When you end over to tie shoes, your stomach flab which may be minimal will feel like it's folding over itself for half of the week. And even if you are sleeping by 11pm on the weekends, by Sunday night, and even Monday night, your sleep will become disrupted by your Friday and Saturday drinking ..so your drinking actions spill over into the early workweek until Tuesday. And then the process repeats. You might be able to get away with it through the 20s, but you will occasional notice it in your 30s, and it's almost a definite repeatable occurrence in your 40s. What also happens is you end up drinking way more than what you were expecting... so 3 beers ends up becoming 6-7 beers, and it just sits in the stomach while your sleeping. Speaking from experience, it's not a very fun cycle to be dealing with.
been almost 60 days sober off weed and alcohol… only cs i ws locked up n now i’m goin to a drug n alcohol program for another 2 months, loki lookin forward to get hella fucked up once it’s over tho😭😭😭
Day 3 I'm determined for change I usually drink 4 days a week and always drink atleast 18 cans of beer each time been this way for 7 years time for change 2024 💯✊
I drank everyday for 4+ years not just a few drinks here and there but bare minimum of 6+ . Insane bad blood pressure / gained over 60 pounds my life was a revolving hangover I’m only on day 4 of recovery but I started.. currently awake at 2am haven’t slept since I quit except a few hours . Cravings horrible and my body is tweaking but I Finnaly woke up today after falling asleep at 6am and felt some what better not in a crazy fog dreading life until my next drink
17 to 27 drinking every night. Im tryna quit. I don't get hangovers. I can out drink people 2x my size and not get one. It is starting to affect my health though. I quit 5 years ago but im having a harder time now that I've been doing so for 10 years. Im 9 years clean from opiates so switching to alcohol didn't seem so bad at first honestly, cigarettes and alcohol are the hardest yet theyre still legal. 8 years off cigs. So hard when its so socially accepted compared to cannabis and psychedelics. When I quit alc before it was with psychedelics and cannabis....
Your video inspired me to start drinking for 30 days straight I have come to learn when I’m drunk I give absolutely no fucks I kinda like it hear I think after the 30 day marks up I’m start another one for 60 days in a row wish me luck and take a shot for me even if you quit one want hurt
You're young and was able to bounce back fast. Heavy drinkers that drink everyday for years have a much harder problem stopping. Going cold turkey for some is life threatening. At this level, it takes at least a week of taking drugs to combat withdrawal. 30 days is nothing. If you were heavy drinker, 30 days will still show signs of brain fog and low energy. Congrats on quitting but understand not everyone who quits feels great after 30 days.
I wish people would stop saying how wonderful they feel after quitting alcohol for a few days When I quit alcohol I ended up in Resus in hospital with the most horrendous withdrawl ...i couldnt even walk ...i thought I was going to die ...I will never drink again 💯 but 18 months down the line I am living my life in total misery 😔 I have no motivation no energy and whilst my friends are enjoying their golden years with holidays and get togethers I hardly leave my house ..my bloods are all excellent so thankfully I didnt do permanent damage ...when I was drinking I used to be able to do anything and enjoy it ....but now i live in a totally empty sad world ..how can people feel so wonderful after quitting alcohol baffles me
I am sure I suffer from a condition called Anhedonia because I started drinking to actually make me feel like doing anything. But when I mention this to my Doctor he just shrugs his shoulders as if he hasn't heard of it 😢
Positives of not drinking (for me so far)
No hangovers
Lose weight, better skin
Lot more money in bank
More energy
Eat healthier - more self care in general
Don’t put self in dangerous situations
Find out who are friends and just drinking buddies
Do more memorable activities
No more drunk messages or calls you regret
Less days absent from work and working out
Real connections with people
More confidence in day to day
No more beer goggles
More time
Less regrets and guilt
Yes !!!!
💯
Awesome...
better relationships
fat loss
better sleep
better mental health
less chance of making life altering mistakes
freedom to drive whenever you want
It is genuinely baffling how true this actually is. Literally everything on this list is true but I have one more for you.
Cleanliness. Along with that free time comes more time and energy to clean. With nothing to do during those hours and having that energy it's like the perfect storm for cleaning. My lifestyle is incredibly more clean
Also no more smelling like shit

Walking up with out a hangover is amazing man 🥰 it’s the best feeling ever
I quit drinking almost 4 years ago! Best choice I've ever made!
Congrats thats huge!
i’m struggling to quit .
@@ajk9708me too, I really need to quit
I stopped 6 years ago drank 3-4pints of vodka and 20 beers a day and was functioning! Then I stopped on own no AA nothing just stopped! Nvr looked back!

Im on my first night 😅... but my eyes are all puffed up, it keeps me awake all night....and I look like shit lol
How you doing so far?
@@deliennemoncrieft1688 Ive noticed a massive difference - i dont feel anxious anymore, lot more calmer, Im a little restless at night but I expected that- I guess over time it will go away
STOP DRINKING AND SMOKING! START WORKOUT AND LIFE HEALTHY
Nice bro! Alot people really don't realize how bad that alcohol is
For the longest time I didn’t know why my dad never drank. It wasn’t until I stopped drinking I realized why.
I gave up alcohol and I thought I would feel more motivation and energy to become more physically active, but then I remembered that I was always unmotivated and low on energy even before I picked up drinking. So quitting it didn't change my lazy unmotivated personality. I still never went back to drinking because I'm saving money.
Same. Totally me. So I don't even bother giving up alcohol.
But it gives you more time to work on being more productive and growing personally. That’s if that’s something you want to do.
That’s a healthy change for 30 days look great brother
You gain your health.
The most important thing!
Very true
One important thing when trying to cut out is to not hang around people who are drinking. You have to separate yourself until it's manageable. Now I can be around people friends/family who are not drinking. Im no longer tempted after some of the amazing results after only 2 months in.
Thank you for this , you look great! Im starting the 30 day challenge today, wish me luck.
You got this! Go crush it!!!!!
Good Luck 🍀 and Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
I went 5 days then gave in to the love of Whiskey lol but starting again 30 days let's gooo
@@alexchavez9083 Man I did 30 days and started drinking wine after work again lol. I'm going back in!!
I’m starting today
I just quit 4 days ago after heavy drinking for 7 years. Every day only gets better!!
Keep it up love this for you

Try changing your diet also, high fat low carb keto/carnivore for best results.
Thanks bro for sharing! I’m on a break for a while too so I can focus on getting in the best shape. It’s been 15 days and I’m striving for 6 months. I might stop drinking period. It’s not a good feeling just for a quick buzz.
1 day sober brother, awesome video thanks
Great video! Thank you for the encouragement!
You are so welcome! Keep pushing
You had me at day 1,dayum!
You thirstier than he was on the weekends.
But yes, me too.
Thanks man alot of people can relate I’m almost 2 weeks sober I want to go all year without drinking and all my life

Your a good role model. Bless you sir
This is a constant battle, but your story is inspiring
Ty for this video giving me the motivation I need.
I needed to see this. I just told myself I’m gonna stop drinking until new years to see how it changes my body. This is confirmation!
🎉🎉 thank you for the great vibe motivation
You are so welcome
Respect man!
I am a weekend binge drinker.. i am now 1 week sober.. going back to my fitness routine from tomorrow.. want to lose 15 kilos before the end of the year and also get my sleep cycle and mental health bsck on track..and sobriety is the key to it all..
It will be 1 year for me on January 2023. I had to end some friendships, but 2022 has been the best year (financial and health) I’ve had in a while.
ahh, i probably should follow in your footsteps. but every time i think "oh, I'll start tomorrow".... That's the hardest hump to clear for me

🎼You Look Great Young Man 🍀 Good for You 👍 Merry Christmas 2022🎄 from Susie 🌼 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA 🇺🇲☮️⛄
Strong video good stuff
The way you looked WHILE you were drinking is my goal lol
Your body looks exactly the same to me on day 1 and day 30. But well done!
It’s different. Less flab, more muscle.
Congrats! I’m in the process of trying to stop. I wanted to ask you. did you also experience weight loss and better sleep when you stop drinking?
Amazing!!!
This is great. Thanks alot
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!

Allhamdulliah for islam
I drank everyday for 4+ years not just a few drinks here and there but bare minimum of 6+ .

Cravings horrible and my body is tweaking but I Finnaly woke up today after falling asleep at 6am and felt some what better not in a crazy fog dreading life until my next drink
Yes I gained about 50 lbs.....I have 0 motivation. I have a problem. How did u stop
My friend works at a liquor store he says it’s a real eye opener 💯
Couldnt agree more
You know what’s a trip ?? The ppl that work at or own liquor stores don’t drink themselves a big majority. Drinking is just poison for us
Well dam nice. Cheers to that 🍻
I was that in my early teens friends would find me passed out in the field next to the apartment glad I got outa that
17 to 27 drinking every night. Im tryna quit. I don't get hangovers. I can out drink people 2x my size and not get one. It is starting to affect my health though. I quit 5 years ago but im having a harder time now that I've been doing so for 10 years. Im 9 years clean from opiates so switching to alcohol didn't seem so bad at first honestly, cigarettes and alcohol are the hardest yet theyre still legal. 8 years off cigs.

What about 1nce a week
7 days sober, way to go

You're young and was able to bounce back fast. Heavy drinkers that drink everyday for years have a much harder problem stopping. Going cold turkey for some is life threatening. At this level, it takes at least a week of taking drugs to combat withdrawal. 30 days is nothing. If you were heavy drinker, 30 days will still show signs of brain fog and low energy. Congrats on quitting but understand not everyone who quits feels great after 30 days.
I drink every day help me
Literally looks like the dude walked out and then walked back in. Dude looks the same in both videos
Good job bro.. (you looked exactly the same lol)
I really wanna stop drinking they said I had a inflamed liver but I can still get help I wanna get help before my liver is to the point of no return
I wish people would stop saying how wonderful they feel after quitting alcohol for a few days
When I quit alcohol I ended up in
Resus in hospital with the most horrendous withdrawl ...i couldnt even walk ...i thought I was going to die ...I will never drink again 💯 but 18 months down the line I am living my life in total
misery 😔 I have no motivation
no energy and whilst my friends are enjoying their golden years with holidays and get togethers
I hardly leave my house ..my bloods are all excellent so thankfully I didnt do permanent damage ...when I was drinking
I used to be able to do anything
and enjoy it ....but now i live in a totally empty sad world ..how can people feel so wonderful
after quitting alcohol baffles me
everything
I am sure I suffer from a condition called Anhedonia
because I started drinking to actually make me feel like doing anything. But when I mention this to my Doctor he just shrugs his shoulders as if he hasn't heard of it 😢
Day one is today, wish me luck!
