I’ve battled alcohol on and off the wagon for 30 years, I’m now sober six weeks and anytime I start to feel weak I turn to one of your videos, doesn’t matter which one, it just keeps me focused on moving forward without alcohol. You’re very inspirational,thank you.
Relapse is a part of many of our journeys. A lesson is repeated until learned as I was to find out. But with determination one day the penny drops and the obsession is lifted. There is an understanding that comes to us if we are open to this perspective. It's truly a labour of love and I wish all the very best of luck in your endeavour. It truly, truly, truly does get easier and infinitely better. Hang in there, you're all worth it.
Thank goodness
Staying focused on the here and now is a difficult thing for our minds to conceive, especially the times we live in. Yet it always is " just for today". One motivation is understanding that the choices we make today, directly affect your tomorrow. Well said Kevin. Thank you again for words to carry on!!!
You're welcome.

A few weeks ago around my 6 mo point, I started experiencing this. Walked thru store where I used to buy my beer 3-4x a week for 10 yrs, walked past the beer section 3 times total, and not once did I even noticed it. I realized on the way home when I was feeling anxious, I didn't think about drinking a beer, I thought I should meditate when I got home. Really HUGE for me, thank you so much for these videos!
I quit 39 years ago.
Merry Christmas Kevin and thank you for all your good advice. I came upon your videos towards the end of '21 when you were promoting doing 100 videos in a hundred days to encourage people to stop drinking. I jumped on board and decided after the 100 days to keep going, and make 2022 an alcohol free year by following your videos. As 2022 comes to a close, I'm going ahead and making 2023 alcohol free too! For some reason it seems easier for me to just nominate a year at a time, rather than saying I'll never drink again. Life is so much better without the stuff for sure. Thank you for your sound advice. Onwards and upwards.
Letitia
Congratulations!!
@@patriciamharris5664 Thank you 🙂
Well done Letitia. I remember reading some of your earlier messages. One year at a time is as good a way as any.
Hi Kevin. I used to be part of your group many years ago. I actually stayed sober 2.5 years but I've relapsed big time. Sat with the worst hanxiety ever, I don't want this :( a good friend said I should maybe reach out again
Hey Claire... I was just chatting with her the other day, although she didn't mention you were having problems. Do you still have my email address? Or you can go to the webpage: www.habitsv2.com - I think we've changed things up a lot since you were here.
@@HabitsV2 aw I can't believe you remember me!! I've been watching your videos. I'm 31 days today. New webstuff looks smaaaaart :)
if i “fall back from sobriety” it’s because i want to
whats the problem?
¨The effects (of addiction) cause pain, the pain gives the motivation (to stop) , but as soon the pain is gone....your motivation will follow (= relapse)¨.
I cannot possibly describe how deeply this phrase affected me - even though it will seem blatantly obvious to any non-addict.
When the real pain is gone, what do you do......??
I went sober 6 months ago through AA....did the whole 90-days-90-meetings thing and must admit it worked.
BUT....while I still attend meetings several times a week, I am starting to become conflicted with the overall philosophy.
AA as well as you are clear on one thing: the past is the past and it is time to move on.
The question remains: what do you do when the pain goes away and ¨just one drink¨ becomes a viable (yet impossible) mental thought again?
AA, to me at least, seems to be all about 24/7 remembering the pain by attending meetings with ¨fresh meat¨ (= messed up newcomers vomiting their misery) to remind them...
Addiction is defined as an emotional disease of which nobody will ever be cured.
The message is ¨take it 24 hours at the time¨ - for the rest of your life.
Do not project into the future because your future is only 24 hours.
I still have difficult moments off course, but prefer to NOT drink because of the better FUTURE I know (= already experience) it will provide me.
Seeing people being sober for 5-10+ years and still attending meetings almost every day makes me wonder....
If you are sober for many, many years.... Why do you need to keep talking/listening about the pain instead of enjoying life and let THAT be your guidance?
I quit smoking 5 years ago and KNOW that if I even smoke just one, eventually....I will be back full time.
Can´t imagine meeting with ex-smokers 4 times a week for 10-15 years to remind me of why I stopped to begin with.
Anyway, end of rant - AA DID help in the hard first months, but your approach of letting the ¨future you want¨ becoming the rule...
resonates 100%
The Sinclair method has helped me more since March then anything I’ve attempted in the last decade!
Understanding the brain is very important and people who abuse achohol their brain litterly connects drinking to a reward more dopamine flows at the 1st drink then those who don’t abuse which is why it’s such a mental game! Some can do it alone many get stuck in a loop and don’t understand why this is.
Have you heard of this method? It litterly rewires the alcoholic brain to no longer conceive booze as part a reward within the mind and it’s not promoted widely as this society loves to promote booze over health ect
All I know after 9 months the desire to drink has left my brain and I was a skeptic for so long I’m mad I didn’t go this route sooner.
If anyone wants to stop and just finds it completely impossible please research this method. Ridding the booze is the goal and this method has helped me with this issue so much it’s like I’m free from the voice that loves to drink ❤
Removing the desire to have alcohol, whatever method, is key to success. Glad this method worked for you. For me it involved changing my beliefs about alcohol, and using healthier alternatives to deal with my issues.
I agree. To start, whatever gets the flow to stop and stay stopped is so important.
This is a Meditation Theorie right?
So, you take this Meditation forever then?
Thanks for all the videos, Kevin. I have an idea for one. I'm almost at 4 years of no alcohol right now, but my wife still drinks. Groceries, gas, and everything else in the US is at all time high cost, except for alcohol. Alcohol hasn't gone up one cent in 4 years, and actually the craft beer that's always been more expensive is going down. I thought this might be a good, current topic for a video. I know how much her beer cost when I stopped. I don't go into liquor stores, but I don't think prices have gone up there either. Sometimes I pick beer up for her, and it's the same as it always was. Is there something to this?
They want you to get addicted so they can sell more alcohol.
You can compare it to the GMO foods, the fact that Cancer lives on Sugar and much of the population, at least here in the US are obese , sick and unhealthy, yet we still have companies making the crap. Sick people, addicted people make people money. Good job otherwise, and best to you.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are fat, unhealthy, and obese because it's somewhat acceptable in today's society. Years ago when smoking became socially unacceptable, and was banned in public places such as restaurants and bars, people were suddenly able to quit all together, or start vaping instead. As long as most people are doing it, they're not stopping, even if the prices did go up.
Exactly. People have this necessity in being accepted in a social enviroment They drink and smoke to feel they belong to a group.
@Freedom Over fear I'll give it a watch. Thanks
There is no better life in these times. But, find something better to do than drink. The Russians are coming.
