    Absolutely hats off to you both, from someone who drank 2/3 bottles of wine a night, that wasn't enough so I thought I'd hit the gin. Eventually it caught up with me. A burst ulcer and told to refrain from alcohol. 4years today I'm alcohol free. Keep going guys. Thanks for sharing Rick ❤

      ​@@ricktenerife​ Congratulations on taking the step Rick. I don't judge or preach im a big believer in things happen for a reason, my son has also stopped drinking and I've told him about this vlog today we're always impressed at these stories. He's read lots of books n listened to podcasts but he asked what book you read is it The unexpected joys of being Sober?

    Hi Rick just watching your vlog/ interview I am an alcoholic my journey caused me serious mental health issues. I am now coming up 10 years sober. I started off in AA and went for 6 years. I still practice the values I learned, it don’t think it should be taken lightly also not too seriously to become obsessed with books etc. I have autism and see life as black and white, tell it like it is and hopefully not offend people. Me and my partner Wayne visit Tenerife at least 2 times a year., we followed Shelley around all the bars in our last visit, that was hard as ideally I don’t like bars but it has proven that you don’t have to drink to enjoy yourself or drink to cope with nerves of being Autistic, Oh and by the way my name is Lee not Mike lol, so yeah really think hard if someone is thinking about it and I always remind myself of the bad and embarrassing times, thank you for your upload 😊👍🏻

      I appreciate you taking the time to comment Lee. Thanks for sharing. As you may have heard my marriage broke down due to alcohol so I am fully aware of the trauma and devastation it can bring. I felt uploading this vlog may help someone in the future who is of same mind as myself and needs a little help. all the best.

    Congratulations to Rick, Lisa, and Maggsy. In 2015, I put myself into rehab, and I have no regrets about my sobriety. Changing my habits was challenging, and it took me a long time to feel comfortable returning to a pub. Now, however, I can go out for dinner and feel completely at ease.

    Thanks for your candid vlog, my father was a heavy drinker and I witnessed the effects several times over the years, he was the life and soul of any party. For that reason I control my alcohol consumption and don’t drink in the week and can go for weeks without, unless I am on holiday. I had an interesting chat to a friend’s son who works in a casino in the US and he doesn’t drink anymore as he sees what it does to people daily! I am sure that you also see the dark side with the job you do too. Well done for your decision!

    Fantastic. Well done all of you. I used to be a quite heavy drinker myself. Darts in one hand a pint in the other etc. I was doing that several times a week. Then diabetes hit me. Since then I have changed my life style. Luckily I found giving up the drink quite easy. I do still have the odd pint, last one was 4 months ago, before that I can't remember. It is not something that is important to me anymore.

    Hi Rick we don’t drink in uk. We met you in the Garrison on the pints😂😂😂. We were heavy drinkers for years. I reckon we were functioning alcoholics. We worked never missed a day through alcohol. Know looking back our son suffered growing up and that breaks my heart. We were accomatosed most nights. Our health suffered and relationships outside our relationships were pushed to the side for alcohol. No alcohol has passed our lips for two years unless on our holidays people laugh. I say let them laugh. Hope you succeed Rick. We love our life now. Although chocolate and caramel coffee is addictive😂

    High iron levels cause all sorts of gut problems, and of course, alcohol absorbs iron. I had a similar problem to Lisa, so I had to cut my drinking right back. I never drank too much, but it was way too much for my gut. At the end of the day, your health is your wealth.

    I grew up with an alcoholic Mother, she dead of a massive heart attack at the age of 58 and i never forgive her for that and what she put me through in my younger years. I have always had an healthy relationship with alcohol, i control it not the other way round. If you ask my kids how many times they have seen me drunk, they would struggle to remember may be three times. I, as you know am a very sociable person and i have a very active social life too but i can drink or not drink on any occasion. I dont need alcohol to have fun, i dont care. You need to respect alcohol and this lesson i have passed on to my kids. It may sound strange but i drink for the flavour, Like a nice red wine, or a nice cocktail.
    Good luck with any challenge you do with alcohol.

    I have always had a healthy relationship with alcohol. A few years ago I found that after having a day on the beer I suffered terrible acid reflux. It completely put me off. I occasionally have a beer but more often I have alcohol free lager.
    However the amount of people who assume you have been an alcoholic in the past because you don’t drink now. It’s madness. I just can’t enjoy something that later hurts me.

    Replace "DRINK" with the word "DRUG" - this is what drink is. One does not have a drinking problem, one has a "software" problem, a story you have about drinking. When you change the story, you change your feeling about the substance, then your behaviour changes.
