This is my 9th year. Had a problem and hit that shit hard, of the almost hobo variety. Quit September 2011. Best thing ever. And I'll say you have to put in the work. It's more about reference points than time. First time you go out without booze, first time you dance, approach, pull, go on holiday. Build up a brick wall of experience. First six months, weird. First year, tough. But soon you feel yourself get strong, clear, sweet, dynamic. After a few years alcohol won't even cross your mind. Sasha is right. Can't have a spiritual path with alcohol on board.
I stopped smoking weed yesterday too. On nofap for over a year as well. I'm researching workout and diet plans to kick off the new year. Great video, I won't be drinking much ever again. 2 drinks to show respect for the cheers at most but that's it.
February will mark ONE YEAR sober from both drink and drugs - ironically enough, this decision was made during a three week stay in an outdoor hippie squat in Portugal. I had already been progressively reducing substance misuse, but participating in waking and baking (and raving on the evenings) made me feel so sick and question the people I was hanging around with - did I really want to waste my potential and end up in the ganja hole? Hell no! Raising those vibes with each drink denied (and a hell of a lot of inner and outer work)!
Great subject/topic Sasha!! Very important and significant in my humble opinion for so many folks. Congratulations to you for quitting over 10 years ago!
There's no comparison between someone who can't help but get shltfaced, and someone who, only a few times a year has a beer or two or a glass of wine for a slight buzz.
I get shitfaced at least once a week. I don't plan on getting shitfaced, but once I start it's hard to stop. I'm always more drunk than I realize. I don't consider myself an alcoholic cause I don't drink every day. I don't drink so that I socialize more, but so that I ENJOY socializing more. Came to this vid cause I do have an open mind, but it didn't really convince me. Alcohol is awesome.
CharmingRogue same here Man. I love to party and I went 1 year sober partying 3 times a week every week for a year, and I gotta tell you, with alcohol you enjoy this so much fuckin more. Thats why I miss it so fuckin much.
You have to think about the set and the setting when taking any drug. Set what is your mental state? Setting what is the setting you are taking this drug in?
everything in moderation. however, having kids (hopefully) forces you to realize you can no longer afford to drink or do anything else that threatens your grasp on reality.
Hi shasha, just recently found your channel through the chet faker interview and I love it. Was interested to know your thoughts on weed. I don't have an alcahol problem but I do consume weed a lot, do you think it's as poisonous because u can deffinately get addicted to it
💖 The last time that you and I were together we were drinking tea in a rather exotic way. When you stayed with a dominatrix. And then there was our date at a Spiritualist Church.. Blessings, Sarah Angelise xX
I have an anime avatar so I guesstimate can tell the type of person i am 😂😂 but this video actually speaks to me I often think the same thing and wonder why others feel the need to be intoxicated to have a good time why my uncle has to spend his time and money on beers when we could be paying rent it’s concerning to me, and also if we’re doing some full disclosure here I just wanna say that I also see me drinking alcohol in the future 🤣🤣 but trust me I won’t have a problem with it i promise
It's a way of being you can tap into. Mainly, your brain comes up with all kinds of stories which are linked to certain emotions. When you feel the emotions, you enter a loop that reinforces itself. The loop makes you less adaptable, you need ways to get out of it to be able to associate with different stories or none at all. How do you get out of the mind's grip? There are many things that help. I'll just sum up some - microdosing or high dose Psilocybin (evidence supporting new neural growth with it and essentially hitting (in hippie words) a kind ofmild 'reset button' for fear based response. Also new insights and the ability to accept them as your new reality (neuteral growth combined with synergestic brain communication) - vipassana meditation (to get out of loops) - a meditation that connects you with different states of being (look up shae's inner game meditation') That way you can switch your mood a bit when you are in an undesired state. For example ask yourself : 'how would I feel when I felt very good', grasp that feeling and play with it. Your brain will learn but it seems pointless in the beginning. - books like 'waking Up' by Sam Harris to reframe ideas quickly. - activities that force you to face your mind f.e. Fitness (also releases endorphins)
Trust me, there's a way to get rid of those mental blocks/doubts etc without the substances...... Sure plant medicine could help but I don't think it's necessary for this - not for most people... just depends if you get that internal call...attaining Social freedom helps a LOT, did you get my book about that? :) link in description!
I've stopped for months at a time but I always give in on dates with a hot girl from daygame. Not because I'm nervous (I love sober dates too) but many girls in NYC like to drink and I feel I'll be perceived as socially awkward if I don't join in. Any advice on getting over this? It's the only thing that keeps me drinking, which I know is sad.
You know the answer. Stop valuing other opinions over your own. Why are u doing something you don't wanna do. You can acknowledge the fear / nervousness on the date. Just tell her your emotions. She will open up even more after this. Trust me.
Kyle D I’m not your sweetheart, and I could care less how many women you’ve bagged. All I’m saying is I don’t think drinking habits, man or woman, have anything to do with how interesting or uninteresting a person is.
I quit drugs and booze 2yrs ago, im still not happy, but i am healthy, and the joy is on its way

Good for you man.... I'z proud of ya! ;)
Glad I never got into drinking alcohol.
I am glad for you too!

Nice. you are not on it!! Keep on going baby!

IT's not. IT's a crutch. Work on yourself, and eventually you'll realize you don't need the sauce!

@@AlexanderLasarev Sounds fun!, I'm up for that
High on your own supply 🦍
I plan to drink this weekend and in carnival, then fully quit too. :p
You have to think about the set and the setting when taking any drug. Set what is your mental state? Setting what is the setting you are taking this drug in?
Especially shrooms haha
i feel this way about pot heads
Too much of anything is no bueno....
raspberry pi 4
Funny that this video came up... decided to stop drinking completely for this year.

You can't promise that to Sasha or yourself. Don't start, then you never have to worry about quitting.
@@crystalcara02 lmao you can't gave a problem if you can't afford it 😂
Well you don't wanna project that you will continue to be broke, either! Be abundant and choose not to drink! ;)
Sasha Daygame Well, I’m charmed! ☺️ you’ve managed to find me twice lol. I’d love to continue this conversation with you. Let me know :)
Everyone says I'm more open and fun after a few drinks. How do I get like that all the time? Psychedelic therapy?

@@AlexanderLasarev I did read it; thanks. People don't take it as very playful when I do it though, so I just come across as a dick.
Drink Iboga or Ayuhuasca

I promise if she's the right kind of girl she'll respect you even more for having the courage of your convictions. Try it.
What do you do about women that drink? Seems like most attractive girls under the age of 30 goes out and drinks with their friends on the weekends.
Don't listen to the incel. Women can drink and be interesting & not drink and be uninteresting.
Kyle D I’m not your sweetheart, and I could care less how many women you’ve bagged. All I’m saying is I don’t think drinking habits, man or woman, have anything to do with how interesting or uninteresting a person is.
Well some people do loosen up with a drink or two. I just don't think you should *have* to drink to be able to have a conversation, see? mwaaaah
Sasha Daygame I definitely agree with you. I believe we should do the self work to be okay with, or without.
What about scotch?
Yeah, obviously everything I said doesn't include Scotch....
