    I hope to show you that being vegan is about reducing animal suffering as much as is practical, and is not about obsessing about purity, weight loss or perfection.
    My journey to veganism was not a straight line. I flip flopped between being vegetarian and vegan for years! I fell off the wagon so many times, I have permanent bruises on my metaphorical ass.
    I finally got it to stick after spending more time educating myself, connecting with the ethics of veganism and finding a vegan online community so I didn’t feel like an outsider. I’ve now been a satisfied and healthy vegan since 2015.

    I’ve made it 10 days not drinking, including attending a wedding last weekend. I feel great. More energy and less anxiety. Better sleep also.

    Been a while since I watched a video like this. I’m a few months shy of 3 years sober and I remember when I was contemplating giving up alcohol and in the early stages, watching a lot of videos that touted benefits of sobriety. I didn’t really “believe” them because, really… the idea of never drinking again was just so not something I wanted. I was sure my life would be miserable. Anybody watching this and seeing this comment, lemme tell you - the benefits of sobriety are real and so much more than you can ever comprehend. It is truly an amazing gift. The only regret I have is waiting until I was in my 40s to get sober. I wish I’d done it sooner.

    I ran across this video again. Yes, everything you say about sobriety is so true. I was 53 days sober and I relapsed due to bad events in my life. Thanks for the video. I am going to stop again. My health and my bank account will love it. Making that decision to quit is hard but doable. Many blessings to all. Moment of silence for the one who is still suffering.

    I'm every inch with you on this! There's not a single downside to quitting alcohol, not even one. Sobriety is my fortress guarding my brain against the invading hordes of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs - I keep them outside. It's really stupid to let those enemies in and let them mess with such an intricate processing unit, which my brain is. I don't go to garbage dumps to collect hazardous chemical waste and store it in my home, do I? Hey, I see no reason why I should do this to my brain:)

    I've actually had people accuse me of being an alcoholic BECAUSE of quitting. Of course they're all heavy drinkers/alcoholics who don't get how bad it is for you. The benefits are enormous, especially if you want to lose weight and just get healthier on all levels at once. It's truly a mind, body and soul type of healing experience. The biggest downside to quitting for me is being around booze and people who are obsessed with it. I hate the smell of it all now and I notice how annoying pubs, craft breweries, beer gardens, liquor stores etc. etc. are. I really look differently at these business ventures now and I despise the "scene" or environment that comes along with them. It's the nectar of the nitwit. Hope you're still doing well, 2 years for me today. Thank you for the insight fellow teetotaller.

    90 days tomorrow and i can't believe it! Best thing you can do. You have to trust yourself life will be just fine in fact better. It took me 11 years from my first attempt to really believe and trust myself in this journey and if you believe its good, it will be good!❤

    Love it! I struggled with alcohol for years and years and years. Tried getting sober multiple times always failed because the honest truth. I loved drinking. Somehow I woke up one day and I said this is enough..! Super hard at first I’m not going to lie. I went through withdrawals and kept thinking about having a drink.. I am now 40 days Sober and feeling amazing. I love being Sober I’m not going back to where I was.. ever.

    I did 2 years and 4 months sober and finally broke my sobriety when my friend met me at San Diego airport with beer in his car. It was such a magic moment I couldn’t say no, i have no regrets, I drink in moderation now and can go weeks without drinking and live a very happy life.

    150 days! I broke my old record of 144 days. If you go to a private event, always throw a tonic water or ginger ale in your bag….bring your own stuff. Also, I had no idea how much cancer is related to alcohol consumption…breast cancer, ladies. I don’t think of myself as an alcoholic….that just gives you a built in excuse, ie, “I couldn’t help myself, duh, I’m an alcoholic.” Keep your diary and let the venom out!

    One of the biggest misconceptions about sobriety, especially for people who attend AA meetings, is that after a few years there's nothing more to learn and experience. After more than 27 years of continuous sobriety, I can tell you that my life has never been better. The only thing I have to do is remain "teachable", and the rest takes care of itself! Mark : )

    This is 100 percent true. Literally everything. I was sober for over month. Broke my sobriety tonight. But I'm done drinking alcohol. It's so bad for your body and health.

    127 days. Saving money. Learning guitar. Not going back to ethanol. I know I can not drink like a normal person and take it or leave it…I tried that before…so I bloody well quit. I keep busy. i walk and go to the gym when I can. I drink de-alcoholized wine or tonic water with ice and a lime…it’s a good substitute for me. Good video. Thank you.

    I have suffered from depression too, since I was a teen. And took meds for years while slugging down a ton of liquid depressant, wondering why I never better, lol. But now that I am sober (16 months) I have actually been able to manage my depression without meds! It is amazing. Sobriety is hard work but so worth it. I wouldn't trade my peace of mind for anything. Congratulations!

    Im with you, it took antabuse to get me there but Im here 3 mths down the track, cant say Ive noticed any significant benefits yet but no hang overs, more money, more time to focus on other stuff and knowing Im not giving my body a hard time is a pretty good start.

  • @mslinklater

    30+ years drinking and now coming up to one year sober... absolutely love your video and everything you said rang true with me. Thank you.

  • @jacquelineadams6443

    From a highly educated, kind, generous, loving, and successful human being that is also struggling with managing both their past and present, and remains uncertain about their future, thank you. Just thank you.
