Hello Stu, Fortunately, on a trip earlier this year from my home in Minneapolis, MN to Port Isaac, UK I didn't catch anything "long", or "short"! 🙂 Your enthusiasm for sobriety is most certainly a program of attraction! All the best in planning, and doing the sober ride next year. "We are NOT a glum lot! Mark
you sound so excited about this and that brings me joy. such a symbolic and well thought out trip. if I was in the UK I would definitely go. I hope everyone gets a meaningful experience from it!
How's your fitness progress coming along? You look like you've been staying active. What weight did you start with in early recovery and what are you now? Or if you are just into weights, hows the progress on that? I slacked a ton in August and September but I'm back in the gym full time now.. Probably packed on ten lbs which will be gone soon. went from 240lbs to 170lbs over the course of my 2 years sober up til the start of aug 2024, im prob 180 lbs or 185 now. It's my last year before I'm 30 so I can kinda get away with eating pop tarts but not the whole box.
Love this idea! I'm in Canada so can't really take part in this one but I will be spreading the message as I have many friends in that area. Keep doing it, Stu! You're amazing.
Fantastic idea stu! I’m in the north west but would like to try and make it 👍 btw I ordered your book on Friday do you have any idea of shipping time to the UK? Thanks man love your channel and what you do ❤️
Hmmm….. Sounds like fun! I’m Dutch so not sure I can make it to the U.K. and BYOB….. but but I’ll see! Sober events are needed! Nice you guys organised this!
Wow! This sounds fantastic. What great irony. If I could make that trip I would for sure. Doesn't seem to be in the cards for me at this time. Look forward to following the progress.
3 years sober. I have been very arrogant about how easy it's been. Lately I have realised that sobriety is like a tiny bird, one wrong move and she flys away. Your content keeps me on track. Thank you.
I can not get enough of your material, I'm glad I was introduced to your channel. Keep up the great work! Also: Have you ever checked out "Alcohol Mastery" by Kevin O'Hara? I believe because of the negative bias associated with "Alcohol" in the title, he had to change the name to "Habits Unplugged". English bloke and he was a major influence in my early sobriety game. I still watch his channel and support him on Patreon. Might be up your alley? Keep doing what you do, Stu! Onwards and Upwards, mate! d
I’m in the USA, and I don’t even have a bike but seriously thinking why the hell not. I’ll go get a bike and make a goal. Plus never been to the UK! Boom
Hope the bike ride goes well. You are a man with many abilities? Privately educated? Do you think you will ever drink again. I can be sober a long time then get and urge to drink and there seems nothing i can do to stop it.
Nope, state school. The posh accent is mostly an affectation, my family is Irish. And no, I'm at peace with the idea of a life without alcohol forever. Relapse is always a possibility, but I'm doing good right now. Urges are difficult, maybe try CBT and get some reframing techniques.
Wow!🎈This sounds like Fun! I wish we could all be there for it!! Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.🖤 I have a question: How did you come up with the name, “Bat 🦇 Country”. I’ve been curious since I found your channel.😊🦇🎃🖤
Great idea. I'd join, but i can't enter the UK, so it's unfortunately not possible. You know it with paperwork and "you are now an illegal alien, sir, please leave our country", haha. So i just wish you the best there that it will be a great event.
Nothing going to stop us now(song) ..artist .. starship(band). You're blowing up!! And remember...bat country is a master at krav magov Martial arts..bat well whoop your ass..😅😅
Long Itchington Under Cockwellshire By The Sea Next to Swampcrotchington.

This sounds fantastic
It'll be difficult, but all the best things are.

I know Port Isaac, I wrote Just Crazy Enough To Work in a cottage just along the coast from there! Lovely place. And thanks for your support!

Stu out vlogging. The cinema is ours. Fantastic production. Hell, I want to come to the UK anyway. Oasis or not. I think I am going to do it.
Bat ...what up??!! Jcarm in the building... brother!! Another amazing video!!! 👏👏
Beautiful stuff man. 💯
Thank you Slayer! I hope you're good mate.

Soberton. May 2025. Gonna come. Best regards from Bavaria😊🎉

If there's one thing the Dutch are good at, it's cycling. So maybe I'll see you there.

That sounds awsome stu!.. I'll be looking for your updates..im not much of a biker, but im going to make an effort to get healthier.
That's a great initiative... and btw. I lived in Atherstone from 2005 till 2007... very nice area..

Thank you! To answer your question: I listened to the audiobook, I liked it a lot. I watch him too. Thanks for the support!
Amazing, I think u have a career in soberiety no pun intended 😂
Wonderful idea ! To be sober i do believe is to be "celebrated" in some way for the soul.
I’m in the USA, and I don’t even have a bike but seriously thinking why the hell not. I’ll go get a bike and make a goal. Plus never been to the UK! Boom
Fantastic I wish I could cycle 😂 your a wonderful inspiration to all of us ❤
I’m in man. I’m close to Soberton, literally and figuratively, being based in Hampshire. What an utterly brilliant idea. ❤
I grew up round the corner from Soberton. The irony. I really hope to see you there mate!
@@_BatCountry I’ve signed up
@@gilesparker2369 hair to hear it. I'll see you there.
@@_BatCountryI’m in Hambledon, the next village to Soberton. It’s funny, listening to your podcasts I wondered if you grew up close to here.
Dude. Thats amazing. What a great idea. Wish I could participate.
Well.. probably.. should have refrained from the STD reference.. 😂😂
Genius!!!
Brilliant, It’s a shame I will be away from UK to india at that time😢

Its hard for sure when the cravings hit.
Splendid idea!
That sounds so good 👍
It'll be great, I'd like to make it annual if there's enough interest in 2025.
@@_BatCountryI've given it some thought over the last few days and I've just signed up, gunna take some training but it will be worth it
@@jamestheferret YES!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
Ain't that a Hollywood Film?
Not yet...
Great work you're doing! This Channel is going to go far :D
what an awesome way to celebrate sobriety! love it - PS - thanks so much for the book and signing it, means a lot!

Great idea 😊😊👌👌
Cool 😎
Hell yeah brother
Brilliant idea.
Thank you! Some ideas just suggest themselves, ya know?
This is incredible Stu!
Amazing idea! I've signed up, paid the fee, but get an error when submitting the form to register and join the whatsapp group? Any ideas?
Don't take a bike ride for granted, my eyesight I suspect has been messed up by drinking making things like riding a bike kinda sketchy.
Ive got the long itchington
Great idea. I'd join, but i can't enter the UK, so it's unfortunately not possible. You know it with paperwork and "you are now an illegal alien, sir, please leave our country", haha. So i just wish you the best there that it will be a great event.
Can I join halfway? Im in Bournemouth
