48 weeks sober. 2 years tobacco free. Fight depression daily.
Keep it up. Depression for me has been helped by taking a Happiness Course locally. It cost a bit of money, but it helps.
Hit some as meetings and make some friends
The alcohol and tobacco are a cake walk compared to the depression.
@@Free-bt6gn Yes that's very true. It's also a big reason we drink. Every alcoholic I've ever met suffers from anxiety or depression. I'm 250 weeks sober now. Exercise has been the key. Without it I dont stand a chance
two weeks sober now.. I feel great..
ntstudio28 keep on man I'm almost at a year
Seriously? After 2 weeks? You must have nice vitamins or you're still your early 20s.
i'm 32. and i'm extremely lucky. i have a lot to lose this time. it's been almost 3 months now and I have had my urges. but i'm hanging in. my daughter, my family, and friends are extremely supportive (and surprised). hoping for the best for everyone on this page.
im 19. also 2 week sober
5 weeks now 😶
Good morning Kevin. I have wanted to write a "Thank you" text for quite some time now. For years and years I have battled alcohol and last July (2016) , I stopped. I realized that no matter how much I drank, it will not bring my late wife back, it will not get me to where i want to be physically and mentally. My daughter and son have seen pictures and heard stories about when I trained and my love for bodybuilding. Within this last year, I went from 262# to 185#. I am 50 years old and I am leaner and stronger than i was when I was 19. The human body is amazing and I just needed to quit beating my system down. Through ALL of this though, you my friend (through videos) helped me IMMENSELY! THANK YOU SIR-
Congrats on your great achievement. I share that thought that no matter what, drinking was never going to bring your wife back. I went through the same agony and thought alcohol was curing it. It just made it worse for everyone else, my son most of all.
Frost Hammer happy for you mate keep it going
mosho sihole Thank you very much for the kind words!!
Interesting videos; I don't drink, but my years dealing with an alcoholic parent affected my life a great deal, so it helps to be up to speed on this drug. Glad I didn't graduate from Al-Anon to AA or NA and am educated enough to grasp some of the complex elements of a problem that has affected my life so deeply. Thanks for your channel.
Frost Hammer Congratulations on "Taking the bull by the horns!"
Your courarage, discipline and strength are inspirational and a testament to what Kevin is saying.
Alcohol also suppresses your body's ability to breathe. I remember when I was going through 10 day binges, by the end I was breathing really heavy and had to focus on my breathing, especially at night asleep.
It's been a path for me! Two DUIs (one was really dumb, one I deserved) and I finally have stopped. 26 years old and almost 3 months clean. Thank you for these videos sir 🙏 trying to be a light in this world instead of a shadow
1 week 2 days alcohol free loving it 🙏

You should also mention electrolyte disturbances which typically manifestd itself as abdominal pain, vomiting, gastritis, pancreatitis and muscle breakdown.
Thank you!!
5 weeks without a drink
The effects of alcohol abuse scared me enough to stop!
Alcohol gave me heart palpatations when I was falling asleep. It was very scary as I felt like I was going too die each time this happened and it would keep happening all night just as I was drifting off to sleep. Since I am sober this has almost stopped except if I am run down and over tired, then I occasionally get it. Couldn't figure why it was happening when I was drinking but suspected it was alcohol related and it was!
I had a vtach, also ended up septic with diverticulitis. I hardly drink Every time I've drink in more than 2 beers I ended up in the hospital
Alcohol depletes b vitamins that your body needs.
Your helping me stay sober and I wanna say Thank you 💕
..... I also want to say I’ve had 14 years sober before in AA and you got my attention when in one of your videos that “you need to do it yourself; I can’t remember just how you quoted yet in numerous years going to meetings I just didn’t and don’t want to live with them carrying me anymore. It’s no way to live. I’m listening to you. I’ve got my willpower back. Thank you again
I woke up in the night once after heavy drinking with heart pain I thought I was having a heart attack. Gave me a wake up call about what that poison is doing to me
it gives me calve pain,nasal congestion,fatigue,belly fat,gas,acid reflux,headache,fast heartrate,diarrhea,vomiting and anxiety.why do we go through that punishment?
Cause we have a mental disorder called alcoholism. We do recover, however.
Scott Boatright you hit the nail square on the head. I never accepted the idea that alcoholism was a disease, it is absolutely a mental disorder. I know this for a fact as I have made some of the most insane justifications as to why I needed to drink. To someone who has never had a drink in their life, my reasoning would surely earn me a trip to the mental ward.
Because it relaxes you and makes you happy. Ying and yang
Laugh now Cry later......
@@emh8861 spot on
@@DalesBadBug Most people are not alcoholic but have an alcohol addiction, I fit into that.
I'm not sure how I got to this video, but I found it really informative and well done. I won't say that "I know what you have been through." because I don't. I am a non-drinker and have never had an addiction or "habit" to deal with, but I must say that I truly admire your sage advice and information about alcohol and its effects on the body. Your lack of non-judgmental language is uplifting as well. I wish you and all your viewers the very best of luck with continuing conquering alcohol.
Never really drank before a year ago. My marriage was going down hill and I was miserable. I had been living a life I didn't want. I then started drinking.... Heavily. From morning to bedtime, at least a fifth a day, everyday. I've done a lot of self improving over the last 6 month's in general and now the same bottle will last me two days. I'm drunk as I type this, I'm going to quit I'm just worried about night time. That's when my anxiety goes into over drive, it always has. For 35 years I couldnt stand alcohol and then suddenly overnight I drank way too much amd couldn't stop, I thirst for it. All the self improvement I've done will never hit its potential until I stop. I just don't know how
I'm in a similar place in 2020. I just need to stop
We do it together before we get to that point of no return and regret it all
At least you know you need to stop. Good on you! Keep at it - any bad habit hard to cut especially with effects. It'll be worth it. Don't give up. No matter how many times trying....
How is it going now?
Just got off a 3-day binder.....
I feel like shit, emotionally and physically. I quit for 8 months last year. Now I think I'm gonna quit again, because I laid in bed all day yesterday and drank. I only came out of my room to eat, spill coffee and see my mother ashamed of me again. When im sober im angry at everyone and everything. But I think I'm gonna quit again anyway.
Edit:me
You gotta get off it mate. Your poor body.... 3 day benders, lying in bed for extended periods, not eating, no exercise, not sleeping properly etc. Read "this naked mind" by Annie Grace if you can, helped me a lot when getting off it
The anger
You know you need better. Just do it. Stick at it.
It just gets worse, I went on a 7 month sober and dropped like a rock into alcohol again, and oh my it hurts hurts so muchhh more then before. Im getting back up and going for 30 days , then push for 60 just like Kevin recommends. A day by day. We can doit.
Great video, Kevin. One other point about sleep: Matthew Walker, in his book Why We Sleep, talks about REM sleep as being absolutely crucial to our mental and emotional health. It is in REM sleep that we are able to process trauma/negative things in our life. Alcohol curbs that REM sleep, which means that alcohol is not only affecting us physically, but also mentally. As you pointed out at the end of your video: alcohol screws us up in every possible way, but the flip side is: when we quit, the benefits are felt in every single part of our bodies and our very lives. Thank you for this!
thank you i will change my life starting now I will be a better man better husband and a better father
I’m three weeks sober
Hopefully you're 7 months away from the alcohol now. If not try again
Dannn pj More than a year. Thanks bro
Dannn pj Don’t ever relax. Alcohol is waiting like a mugger for one of us to lower our guard. Keep going, man.
Thank you for your videos of truth. I'm about a month sober after many years of drinking. I'm tired of the physical damage and mental so I've decided to stop. I enjoyed watching your videos and I've subscribed. Thank you so much again for words of truth and inspiration. 😀
I feel like I just took a walk with you. Beautiful destination.
Too bad I've just been sitting on the couch. Time to get up. ✌️
I can just feel the strength from you and its inspirational 💖
Life is too long for the unhappy and lost.
Stress yeah. Its stressfull just going out to the supermarket buying a bottle of milk when your in a hangover. You can get anxiety just by passing a random person walking the street. Its fucking sick how the booze trashes your mind.
Very very good. And kevin explains a multitude about alcohol damage on the body well worth watching
Six weeks sober doc told me my central nervous system could be damaged 24/7 dull brain pain arm leg pains intermittent leg weakness fatigue dizzy lightheaded anxiety stress depression does this ever go away?
Troy brain pain seems to have diminished over past 48hrs thankfully getting better diet, vitamins n minerals water must be doing its job phew!
James Lloyd , Congratulations on your success, that's amazing!!
I am solo much happier, less depressed, (not depressed at all), since going on 3 months alcohol free.
Not gonna get any better if you keep drinking the poison is it???
Hi Kevin, unfortunately did fall on puddle again two months in a row daily free of da alcohol issue,actually ain't sure what's worse, drinking on my own or going out,prefer myself as just my auto influence to...come back to the shop...again...can at time.
Out in town could be much more dangerous, thought.
Plan stop again.
Cheers
Thank you for the video Kevin, your videos help me so much!
I can't imagine all the toxins that I ingested along with environmental toxins; my liver was not able to process because it was occupied processing alcohol.
Love your insight Kevin. It gives me a great perspective!
Makes sense to quit to help immune system
I rarely drunk I had 2 beers. I ended up severely hi blood potassium I had a vtach at the hospital. 200 beats at resting. I now have a,pacemaker. 😔
I’m a first time wanting to quit drinking. I am still drinking an watching a lot of these videos to prep me for what I really need to do. I am getting older an getting scared of my consumption is out of control, lost my father to liver cancer at the age of 69. I don’t wanna be the same sadistic. Yet... my care of my life in my head feels bleak. Possibly cause of the booze. I have no friends, probably cause I drink an won’t leave my house, can’t get a dui. Yet I hear I need to do this for myself, yet feel I still need a being to give me some reason to want to. An I feel I have none. So really find it hard to find the desire. Maybe need depression meds? Idk.

Hi Beth, I just ordered some CBD oil..many people say that it has helped them battle depression and anxiety. I'm not one to give advice because I have not followed a path of logic, but I do believe that a healthy diet, exercise and meditation can help but we must take the steps and walk the path....also there is alot of music here on YT that cam help you feel a sense of peace..just type in relaxation or meditation music..
Don't do medication. Vitamins. Sleep. Waiting once off it. Stick it out. Every time you weakly surrendered means now every time you have to be steady and strong. Same as in life - thinking strong. Important.
Thank you very much
You don't choose what you get. You deal with it
Well said!Thank you Kevin
Great message thanks
Certaing beers used to give me nastier hangovers ..never figured out what it was but probably yeast level and whatever else. Each of us are different but our poor bodies try to cope as we cluelessly but intentionally saturate ourselves with nasty trench slop.
I subscribed on my other phone "mad doggy" - thanks for your channel - you keep it plain & simple 🤪✌️👁️👁️
Incredible content. Very encoraging.
Great video Kevin! Thank you
The best way to describe damage that a have is like living with a constant hangover even though that I no longer drink at all. Headache body aches nausea tiredness no energy poor complection due to the liver not removing toxins in the body and not processing food properly absorbing minerals and vitamins needed. Brain and memory and emotional problems. All round total pain in the arse stuff but most bizarre of all I have had no desire to drink alcohol for months now a just hope that I make some improvements health wise but I will never drink again. That is a great feeling knowing that whatever happens the stuff will never pass my lips again.
For what it's worth, take a look at "Himalaya LiverCare/Liv. 52 for Liver Cleanse and Liver Detox 375 mg, 180 Capsules, 90 Day Supply" - you can find it and many reviews on Amazon.
@@markricherzhagen4026 does it work a will have a look thanks
@@craigstirling608 In my experience it does, but if you want a really impressive testimonial, take a look at the review titled "Himlaya Livercare Literal Life Saver!" on Amazon.com (US). Their father was on the verge of death. Good luck, and feel better!
@@markricherzhagen4026 thanks I will👍👍🙏
good info kevin
Good video I drink about 2-3 pints of Carling when I go into Liverpool town with my best mate.
My brother died from alchole two years ago from pancreatis no one mentions this much but i its such a major organ believe me what he looked like when he died was enough to put anybody of drink he was only 49
BRAIN FUNCTION!
I think it might be to late for me i haven't felt right for a while now
Looks like you are in Spain (the orange orchards). Favorite spot for ex-pat' Brit's. You have to go back home to see your son? That would drive me to drink. I was a single father for 20 years but it was the best time of my life.
Yes, Spain. I either go to Ireland or my son comes here. It's all good. Technology makes the distance more manageable. Two hours of flight. Video calls are like he's around the corner :)
Hi Kevin, may I ask you why you have chosen this form of hiking and talking to the camera? Subconsciously one could say that you - or we as a matter of fact - have to keep walking away from alcohol for the rest of our lives. Or did you need a new addiction?
Interesting but although I'm not a recovering alcoholic or anything and I hardly ever drink I sometimes wake with a hangover and I've not been drinking and I suffer from brain fog a lot? And I'm not in denial either.
Hangovers are caused by dehydration and loss of electrolytes. Brain fog can be attributed to many things, but inflammation is a huge culprit. Cut out carbs and sugars and you'll slowly see inflammation improve and thus brain fog. Stay hydrated and cut out the sugar and carbs and you'll probably see improvement. Best of luck to you.
Your short of breath is making me stressed
I was walking uphill. Don't get stressed out. :)
Could you not sit for a while and talk do your walk ltr my head is light now ffs but keep up the message.
Aidtom Seriously! Great stuff but I’m out of breath watching it
You're lucky your addiction was to Guinness which is one of the lowest ABV beers around. Try being addicted to high alcohol IPAs.
Those 7.5% IPA's did me in, it was only beer but i couldnt go back to piss water budlight
Me three, getting hungover as I was drinking them. Ffs man thank god I don't have to do that anymore
You know how when you're gasping for air nobody can understand what you say? Also, please put your ideas in order, there is a complete chaos in all of your speeches.
He’s a random person, putting free videos up, and providing a valuable service to people. I don’t think it’s acceptable to be so rudely critical. He obviously thinks as he walks so it’s just stream of consciousness recording. Also, I think he is perfectly comprehensible.
Cut him slack. He's great. Proud of him and anyone trying to improve life. Admitting you need better is fantastic! Well done to all being honest with themselves.
Don't forget, we all make bad judgment calls. We all have addictions and things to overcome, made harder with chemical effects..... you'll be so much better when free of it.... Just step by step, replacing old thinking (or lack of) with new thinking, wanting a better life, a better you. You'll all get there. We all need to do good habits daily, hard in this time. Just do it. Only way. Thanks to inspiring journey stories. :-)
How many times did you take this walk before you filmed? These are no shit facts. Get back to work bud.
If you are going to post a comment, please at least try to make it understandable.
