    Tomorrow I will be 7 months of sobriety. After 42 years of drinking. I feel just super proud of myself. Still struggling with the smokes though. But hey, one thing at a time. Giving myself some grace. ❤ The best thing for me is that I don't feel the shame and guilt anymore.

I look 10 years younger, fitter and healthier than my old drinking buddies. I’m no gym junky just don’t poison myself regularly with alcohol. Loved the video, keep spreading the word.

    this video popped into my feed at such an unexpected time. i feel like it’s a sign. i’m 25 years old and i wouldn’t necessarily say that i have a drinking problem, however, i don’t like how alcohol affects me and my body and mind. i also feel like i have to be the stronger and bigger person for the people in my life and begin a sobriety journey. i did go about 30 ish days sober the last time i had this realization but then i went back to having occasional drinks. i have loved ones who are close to me who suffer from alcoholism (who don’t even know it). a lot of what they do during their free time consists of drinking alcohol. i had to have an uncomfortable conversation with one of my close loved ones yesterday about their alcohol use. and now i see your video on my feed. i haven’t watched it yet, but i’m adding it to my watch later list! thank you 🩵

    march 2017 i quit. i was 24 then. and as a result i still feel 24. keep up the good work all.
    tip i can give is to try to listen to your subconscious and quit if it's telling you to, before it is too late;
    and the idea of quitting something will create a void. fill that void with something different to "replace" the alcohol.
    tier of destructive things in my opinion: 1. gambling 2. alcohol 3. drugs

Any tips on how to deal with FOMO ?

    Thanks for making the video , it's very inspiring for me . i was sober for 21 days. It was hard . i had a beer and all of a sudden it's six months later and was right back to the way i was , 3 to 5 stubbies a day of 5.8 %. Actually it was worse , cause i felt guilty every day buying beer . Any way ive stopped again , am on day 13 . It is hard, cause i really enjoy the beer , but at 63 yrs old , it takes much longer to get over it. Its hard to think i'll never drink alcohol again , but i'm going down this road and am really inspired by the video's of people like yourself who are spreading this message. Excuse the long rave , but thank you 🐬💕

    Been craving a beer and watched your video to remind me why going zero alcohol is so good for you. I'm almost on 5 weeks now. Longest I've gone without alcohol since I can remember. Drinking is just part of life where I'm from, so it's difficult to get away from it. I came to the decision to stop drinking after waking up one Sunday with yet another hangover. I had a few things I planned to do that day, but this hangover delayed my plans and I got virtually nothing done. I can't stand being unproductive, and I was tired of alcohol being the reason for it, so decided to stop. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to abstain from alcohol, because it gets difficult sometimes, but so far I think I'm doing OK.

    I have been questioning my relationship with alcohol lately. Last year I didn't drink for 3 months and I felt great, but some social events have been really difficult without drinking. I just sat back and watched how people acted when they drank and it's not pretty. I have cut back and I can see myself going without it soon. Alcohol is big business, so I don't think it's going anywhere. It should carry warnings , drinking this will wreck your liver. Society really needs to change their attitude toward drinking.

    • @elizabethkindrew
      @elizabethkindrew  14 дней назад

      You exploring your relationship with alcohol is the ripple effect that creates change in how our society views the norms of drinking! And I agree, I think we need better warnings on alcohol products as well. I believe Ireland is the first country to pass a law that will require a warning label to state that alcohol is linked to fatal cancers.

    Great job quitting drinking. Now you’ve got to quit what I feel is the world’s biggest addiction, as crazy as it might sound at first, cooked food. Read 80/10/10 by Doug Graham to learn more. If you actually read this book and actively live the lifestyle it teaches it will improve your life as much or more than quitting drinking did. I say that because I’ve been through it. I quit drinking, but I knew something still wasn’t right, and I realized that the other big piece of the puzzle was diet. However there are so many confusing viewpoints in the media about diet that it can be hard to figure out which is true. Having tried just about all of them I can assure you 80/10/10 is the only one that works. That is because it is our species specific diet. Good luck.
