The other day a viewer asked Alpha how much he drinks which got him thinking about his journey of drinking alcohol. He always enjoyed drinking from 16 y/o and onward. He binge drank but never thought he had a problem. Further, he never saw himself not drinking because it was ingrained in his social behavior and life. In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro talks about how he quit drinking by accident.
Alpha used to dip tobacco for 16 years. He was crazy addicted and ashamed. He decided to quit in 2010, and he knew he had to quit alcohol because it was a trigger to nicotine. He went from drinking 30 - 40 drinks a week to 10 drinks a year. He loves a bourbon every once in a while as well as wine at a nice dinner. He hasn't been drunk in a LONG time.
Ultimately, he has a better respect for alcohol. The moment he stopped tobacco and alcohol everything has exponentially and astronomically changed. All of the sudden, all of the cloudiness dissipated, and it felt incredible! His life is 1,000xs better in every aspect.
Changes for Alpha as a Result of Not Drinking
1. He stopped doing stupid things
2. He felt awesome every day when he woke up
3. His mind was so much clearer, and his senses were heightened
4. He became more creative due to not being clouded by a hang-over and not feeling good
5. His productivity sky-rocketed
6. He started making more money due to more focus & productivity (as well as not spending as much money as drinking is expensive!)
7. He looked better including his skin
8. Staying in shape was so much easier after quitting drinking (combine calories from alcohol with crappy food that typically goes along with drinking)
9. He was proud of himself rather than hating himself for being self-destructive
10. He is happier! All of the benefits to not drinking outweigh that beer / wine / bourbon. He wouldn't trade all the money in the world for all of this clarity and sobriety. It's remarkable.

I'm actually proud as fuck to say I've been sober my whole life. Never drank, never smoked. It's always gonna be that way.
Conner Cox wow, cool guy over here.
Conner Cox wow, props man. But do you ever wonder how you might feel psychologically while drunk?
it's not like it's bad. like being proud of not doing something fun
Conner Cox im 16 and i plan to do that my while life too
Not cool bro...
2 years ago I watched this video and I dreamed about getting sober. I was drunk while watching it. I used to drink every single minute of the day. I would average 750ml of vodka, every single day & at my worst more than 2, 750 ml’s. I can say I was a full blown alcoholic by 21. I was so jealous that he was able to quit so easily. My journey wasn’t nearly as easy but last week I was 1 year sober!!! THANK YOU FOR CONVINCING TO STOP. MY LIFE IS 10000% better and everyone reading this can too. I LOOK BETTER, stopped doing stupid things, every morning I wake up ready to start the day, my mind wasn’t as foggy, I started winning with money, my sex life is better, etc. I have a million reasons to never drink ever again.
**EDIT, I’m now 2 years sober as of June 19th! You can do it too!
Thats awesome man, congrats. I've ruined most of my relationships and just recently broke up with my girl because of my drinking and me being an asshole. I'm ready to quit its starting to ruin my life.
That's dope bro! Keep traveling down the path of greatness and best of luck !! I'm currently working on traveling down that same path..
God bless man your story relates very similar to mine. Today is day 2 but I’ve spent the past 2.5 years after watching my mom die of cancer drinking a 750 ml of Tito’s a day to at my peak Monday of drinking 3 pints of Tito’s. I’ve lost my fiancé and I can’t explain how dark and hopeless I feel. I hope that in time I can say what everyone else says. That life is so much better. Wish me luck
@@sebz1390 hey bro, I promise it’s possible. PLEASE seek professional help if you think you can’t do it alone. I remember I used to drink because I was depressed, but I was also depressed because … I drank. 3 pints is a lot and I’m sure you’re tired of always being hungover, doing stupid stuff, always wondering when (and where) you’re going to get your next drink. Withdrawals are something serious and if you experience any, contact someone! There’s medication out there to HELP you! I promise in due time getting sober will be the best thing that ever happened to you. Take everything a day at a time. I used to drink alone, I just enjoyed being drunk. It almost cost me EVERYTHING, including my life. 2 Dui’s, countless car accidents, friendships, relationships, opportunities, jobs, family… Now I have a great job, my own car, my own house, everything I ever dreamed of! && I say all this to say that YOU can do it too!
ADDICTION is giving up everything for one thing. RECOVERY is giving up ONE thing, for Everything!!! You got this man, I’m praying for you.
That's awesome man!!
I'm 24 days sober and smokeless ...Wish me goodluck all the way
Good luck 🙏🏿
Good luck after two months it’s way easier
GeeQueSurprised P.J Marlvins I’m 23 days without weed today. It’s really not hard for me. Other people say it’s TOUGH. But it’s all fukn mind power 💪🏼🤘🏼 good luck though keep it going!
@@F150fx2sporT
Amen brother could not agree more.
@GeeQuesurprised Nice Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Saankramer Life Card System (do a google search)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning how to stop drinking minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got great success with it.
I’m quitting. I’m tired of being hungover. I’ve lost so many friendships. I’ve gotten into fights. I’ve spoken my “truth” to people while drunk and the words came out completely wrong.
Your very much like me, everything you described i do...
Same!!!!
Yeah that's totally true been there too, let's be sober. I just relapse drank a little vodka only because I got a new job to celebrate. If you ask me I rather smoke a bong full of weed.
i hate the feeling next day especially after a fight
@@ivan4992 wait a min. You mean to tell me that the drunk guy who gets in fights at the bar, wakes up not feeling well? I always thought you guys were like immune to that kind of stuff. I never would have imagined tbh.
I was addicted to heroin for years. When I stopped doing heroin, I stopped drinking, and doing other drugs. My life is the best it's ever been right now. I honestly never thought I'd stop using drugs and alcohol. I couldn't imagine life without those things. But now I couldn't imagine life with those things. It's amazing how awesome you feel when you're clean and sober.
Sorry to hear that I hope you leave an impact
Kudos Brother.
Jack Rockwell You don't leave heroine, heroin leaves you
Jack Rockwell my brother I'm a ten year heroin addict how and how long did it take u to stop
How does one even try heroin when you know it's a hard bad drug, fucks with your whole life, and have to use a needle, foil and/or spoon? Unless you're going through a really bad time or doctor prescribes you some opioid, you crave for more then look for dirty solutions. That's why there's weed and alcohol.
Alcohol creates a different mindset in people, messes up priorities and blurs focus.
Jorge Chávez Its different to other peoples like for me for instance it's like a way better rockstar/monster/red bull gives me energy & more alert & aware of my surroundings but once I over do it then that's where I crash. 😂
exactly! It's amazing I couldn't figure this out until just now, and I've been drinking for fucking years already. Getting shitfaced as a habit fucking messes up your entire brain, you are not you anymore, you're becoming a fucking zombie version of yourself
Yeah I mean its not the worst thing ever but if you wanna be focused and feel fresh, drinking isn't gonna help
Jorge Chávez I quit drinking but realized I need to use it as a medication so I need one or two every day. preferably one every twelve hours. drinking tea helps clear your mind and body up. but I still need alcohol, I just try not to binge drink as much. having over 4 drinks In a sitting is what fucks you up but having no drinks can make you hate life too.
I've been researching into quitting booze and found a great website at Adoette drink plan (check it out on google)
Hey Aaron, could you please do 10 signs that your girlfriend/wife is or might cheat on you. Because this list can literally be a lifesaver for us guys.
+jonathan smith funny enough, that is the video going live on Wednesday!
alpha m. Hey!
jonathan smith - Good question
jonathan smith if she is fucking another guy thats a signal
Well I don't exactly know when, how or if she would cheat because I can't read a woman's mind like you.
This man is telling the 100 percent truth..the exact things happened to me when i quit alcohol. Especially the mental clarity and sharpness i felt.I literally thought something was wrong with me but then i realized that for 20 years i had been suppressing my minds ABILITY to reason.trust me the best thing that ever happened to me was stopping alcohol.
I've drank a bottle every 2 days just about for the last 8 years or so and quit smokes as well. And I'm currently 3 days sobers and smokeless. Started on August 5th. Wish me good luck!
How are you coping Austin with your sober journey ??
@@jmcg7705 much appreciated thanks!, 16 days sober! I've smokin some cigs here are there its completely tough to go cold turkey on both and extremely hard not to smoke when your not drinking. But I'm still trucking!
@@austinessick7926 Good for you my man ....that is a BIG BIG ACHIEVEMENT and i salute you big time ....in some ways im a little jealous of you in a kind way ...inasmuch as my journey in recovery has been outrageously fantastic and i wish i could travel that fantastic journey again .....when you've been told your life will improve 100% they lied ....its 1000% !!! next month i'll be 35 years sober .....what a great journey ...i'd bore you to death about how great my journey has been ....alas i did'nt give up the smoking and got throat cancer ....its healed but i speak through a tube in my throat ....never mind ......im truely glad you are on your own journey and let me know of it if you like ....best wishes always .....jake mcginness
Peace And Blessings Good Luck
You can do it brotha! You have more power within you than you think
I've quit everything. Alcohol, cigarettes and weed. I'm totally sober and life has never felt better!
I've been researching into giving up alcohol and discovered a fantastic website at Adoette Drink Plan (check it out on google)
Najib Casa I already gave alcohol up.. just stopped pouring them
Wow great job
the one and only never started that stuff nice to her I don't actually miss anything
2 months in.
I quit drinking because it created only bad experiences in my life...
I agree
Starting to realize that, doesn't help keep your habits and commitments
Totally agreed
That were my worst memories in old town my country , got beaten by random creepy alocholics
For no reasons
I drastically reduced my alcohol from January this year, and I can relate to this video 100%. Everything alpha says, is on the money. It really is a life changer. Still have a few beers every month or so, but the point is I'm in control. I'll never go back to regular drinking, no way. Life is too good without it!
You are able to control it? What made it easier to control?
@@Sunnydayz5656 some people can learn to control it some cant. Some even gain control for a bit then it catches back up to them
Common dont be a pussy keep drinkin :)
@@godisgreat5141hello. Im on day 6 and I plan on trying to control my beer drinking to just weekend and no more than 4. Can you tell me what works for you?
I'm almost 8 months sober now, last drink was in January 2020. I'm proud of myself. Keep strong and sober guys!
Congratulations Genuine Kid on deciding to change for the better.
How ???? Do you start
Whats the status now?
How did you do it ????
I don't know you but it takes a lot of self will 2 quit, I got 49 days today and I got a decent job plus it keeps me focused and not 2 much free time stay strong
the last drink i had was in 2016
31 dec
so original
I came to the comments section just for this comment
punani pu ndeh Mine was in 2017.
the last drink i had was back in.. ohh wait i am drinking a beer now.. sorry
I've not drank for 3.5weeks now. I was self destructive. Every bad moment in my life lead back to booze. I never in my wildest dreams imagined a weekend without a sesh. I was just seeing how long I could go without but I really feel I wanna see this out for life now. Wish me luck.
Great God Bless you in Jesus Name
You can do it
ALL THE BEST!
Aaron just wanted to thank you for helping completely change my life. I was spiraling out of control. I knew I needed to do something about it and I happened to stumble on this video. After watching it I decided to really give up drinking and update how I dress thru your videos. It's been 4 years clean and is all thanks to this video. Thank you brotha what you do makes a difference just wanted to let you know .
70 days sober today, and I agree with you 100%, you do get better in almost every aspect.
On day four. I already feel better. Sleeping is not great yet but four hours of sober sleep. Dominate ten hours of drunk ass sleep
Will Neverforgets keep it up. You can do it. I remember. I’m working on 3 years sober.
TravelTheWorld
Awesome. Keep it up. You can do it. Almost 3 years sober here.
51 days sober here but craving a drink....thats why Im watchin this video
Bro no you dont depending on who you are I'm withdrawling from everything and stoamch is bleeding still lowkey hard to stop drinking
If Alcohol was discovered today, it would be a class A controlled substance.
Sam Hofman no it wouldnt.humans have known the dangers of it for ever.
@@nick-wi6et "if it was discovered today".
Sam Hofman yea read my first sentence. "no it wouldnt"
@@nick-wi6et :D Get an education yo!
Sam Hofman get some common sense
30 plus years ago I was told I’d be a father for the first time. I quit drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes the same day and never touched them again. I couldn’t do it responsibly so I don’t do it at all.
Scott Johnson salute💯
Scott Johnson wish it was that easy for me.
Kristina Clark I understand that I’m unique in this. I’ve always been able to walk away from something when I’m done with it. I wish you the best of luck.
You're the man!
Damn it's a shame when you can't use the beautiful drugs of this planet responsibly
I experienced the same benefits and would never go back. Ten years alcohol free❣️ I am so over the self-medicated zombies who have the audacity to ridicule me for choosing to be vibrant, alive, awake, aware, creative, productive, healthy and enjoying life. They actually think they can convince me to give all that up to fit in with them. 😂 Not this girl! 💕
Well said. Stay strong.
JOIN US!!!! (in misery) 🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
I was incredibly shy growing up and alcohol helped me break out of my shell in college and make friends and date women I never thought I would have had the chance to date as I had trouble even looking at most women in the eye. Numerous people have told me over the years that they liked me more when I drank. It's a crutch I always felt I needed in social situations. Last year I went four months sober after noticing myself going into darker places of self harm after a night of heavy drinking and going home alone.
I resumed drinking this year thinking that I had exorcised those demons but after a run of bad luck this summer it's all come flooding back. So I'm ready to go back on the wagon...permanently. Tired of the crutch. Tired of the mood swings. Even if it means losing friends by not going out as often and being more quiet when I do go out. And instead of going home drunk and being left with those dark thoughts...pop open a good book and immerse myself in another world.
I know how you feel, people also keep telling me, I'm more fun when I drink... it's annoying...makes me mad in hindsight. I hated parties when I was young and didnt see the point in drinking until I myself started to use, yes use the substance to overcome my insecurities and nothing else. People just ain't no good. Hope you're still on the wagon?!
@@himawari4166 how are you now?
@@funnybone4086 I'm doing extremely well, quit the booze on Day 34 today! thanks ;)
I am 29 and still shy and introverted, but I found 2 supplements that are helping me a lot. Besides alcohol, caffeine used to also help me be more social and have more energy, specially working as a cook and as a server, but the effect didnt last too long and the social anxiety that I got after was horrible, so I quit caffeine too. Caffeine gave me acne anyway. The two supplements i found that have been helping me are vitamin-b12 and iron, but also try to reduce the time on your phone screen or computer at least when youre in public. I have noticed that screen time affects my eyes and anxiety a lot. I am taking L-theanine too, but I think the biggest difference was made by the vitamin B-12 and the iron. I tried the L-theanine on its own before and I dont feel like it made that much of a difference on me, but some people do swear by L-theanine, so I suggest at least trying it. For L-theanine, try 200mg if 100mg doesnt work. If youre on caffeine, I strongly suggest quitting it. I know, its hard, and its not fair that other people drink 3 or more cups of coffee every day and they dont get anxiety or skin problems. I had been drinking coffee since I was a little kid until this year, I am 29 years old. I love the taste and how it puts me in a good mood and makes me more alert, but the anxiety it caused afterwards is not worth it for me anymore. I just wasnt sure quitting coffee would actually help because it does make me feel really good for a while, so I thought the anxiety was just the regular me without coffee. I guess I was in denial because I loved coffee so much. Its going to be hard, and no, the withdrawal doesnt last only 2 weeks, maybe for the headaches, but you wont feel a hundred percent you until at least 2 or 3 months after you quit, and for some people it takes even longer, 6 months to a year, but you will feel a little better every week. I have been 5 weeks without caffeine and I can tell you it is worth it. By the way, preworkouts have a lot of caffeine, unless it explicitly says that its stimulant free or caffeine free. Check the ingredients on the label, they all have caffeine. And those things like G-fuel and other stimulants for gamers also have a lot of caffeine.
@@JaimeRosario884 Thank you!🙏🏽
Started drinking when I was 14. When I was 19 I went to prison for 2 years because of it. Lost every single girlfriend ive ever had, have had 4 shoulder surgeries from bar fights and dumb shit while blacked out drunk, the list goes on. Every bad thing that has happened in my life is from alcohol. Im 32 now so I think its about time to give this up for good. Im 28 days sober. So far so good.
Are you still sober? It's been 9 months ago since you posted that comment. Just curious :-)
@@Minolla No I relapsed. I was completely sober for 4 months but ended up picking up the bottle again the day I got laid off from my job of 7 years. Still haven't been able get sober again unfortunatley.
@@warewolf626 @Angel Calderon Thanks for answering and I'm so sorry to hear that. I can understand the reason why you relapsed. Just don't stop trying, you can do it! ;-)
Angel 626 I would really recommend you try A.A. Personally, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I could never do it alone. Find your tribe. They’ll help you.
You should've been a boxer or mma fighter
15 years of drinking came to a halt after I lost my job last year. I also had self destructive tendencies when I drank so I made the decision to stop drinking and things couldn’t be better !! I went from no job to now buying my first house after 6 months of being sober ! It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you stop drinking
Juan Ruiz...Pimpin ain't easy, but it pays the bills.

I’ve been sober for a month. It feels like I have a third eye now. The clarity in my mind is the best side effect of the quitting alcohol. I’m also losing weight. Will never drink again, even on special occasions. 😊
I quitting from today
How much weight did u lose for the month? I’m 5 days sober :)
Lol a month is not nearly enough time to self reflect... a year later how r u
@@demeanor3704 still sober and doing great. Thanks for asking :)
@@luanamuldoon great for you!!! 👍🏽👏
I'm trying to quit. 3 totaled cars later, facing 3 years prison, 2 yrs probation, daymark substance rehab classes and just settled assault in court. Alcohol has ruined my life this far but trying to turn it around. I wish everybody luck with their fight with this.
Good luck, Chad.

The other day my daughter walked in front of the tv while I was watching, I asked her why she was doing this as I couldn’t see the tv. She said she was covering the beer ad that was on because she didn’t want me to see it and have a beer. Haven’t drank since
Edit: thanks for the encouraging reply and all the likes, never had so many before. In the last 503 days I’ve only had two beers, which I’m very happy about. Good luck to everyone on their journey 👍
I’m getting that sort of thing from my 12 year old daughter. Really made me take a big look at myself. Sober since Christmas Eve 👍

यदि आप शराब की लत नहीं छोड़ पा रहे हैं और नशा मुक्ति केंद्र से भी आपको इस बारे में सफलता नहीं मिली है।
तो निराश न हों संत रामपाल जी महाराज से उपदेश लेकर आप इसे बड़ी आसानी से छोड़ सकते हैं।
I'm 8 days sober, that is twice as long as my last "record" I've been drinking everyday for 4 years. I didn't think I make it 4 days. Now I've been working out everyday to help with the withdrawls.. it is very hard at times.. but so far it's worth it!
keep it up dude... im just starting too, 5 days, seems like nothing but when you drink everyday, its something
Keep it up brother! I quit alcohol, weed and tobbaco last week, before it's too late. My true addiction is lifting weights, makes it easier.
As soon as i quit i lost 30 lbs of beer fat over 1 year 8 months. Now nice and lean at 180 lbs.
titanicwhiz stay strong man I know your pain
Thank you everyone for the support!! I am 17 days in! :D I didn't think I could survive not drinking lol. It's still hard at times, but it is worth it! I already lost over 10 lbs, much easier w/o booze..People already noticed that my face skin looks better, and it's not bloated anymore! The support from family and friends has been great!! As well as the support from you guys!! Thank you, and everyone trying to quit drinking, stay strong, it's totally worth it!!
YES. I've been experiencing all this and more since I quit drinking 3 weeks ago. I used to just accept that every day I was going to wake up feeling like shit, dehydrated and tired throughout the next day, as if it was something I couldn't control! Now, waking up early and feeling great is like receiving a gift every day first thing in the morning. I also love knowing that I'm NEVER going to make an ass out of myself again the way I used to when I'd get drunk. There are about 100 other things I'm grateful for now that I've quit, but I'll just say that I feel like I've broken out of my own self-imposed imprisonment and I'm finally free.
I lost my wife of 21 years and now about to lost my house. I'm going to stop drinking today! I want my life back. I don't think I can get my wife back bc she's dating a cop now and seems to be very happy with him and they are getting married in March. Take it from me my friends alcohol's not worth it!!!
Billy Jones so you drinking again or what?
It's never too late to change. You still deserve a life. Hang in there. : )
I used to suffer from alcohol addiction myself. I now no longer drink alcohol. If you want help quitting alcohol too then go here now: www.MootSober. xyz
I hope you’re doing better. If you’ve fallen in these three weeks, keep getting back up! Good luck out there man.
Thanks guys and yes I'm still not drinking and feel much better now I don't even want a beer... It's Mountain Dew for me lol
Trouble with even a little drink is that its highly addictive. Most people drink to escape from stress or have a laugh so it becomes a viscous circle. It kills the mind which we need so much to make wright choices in this crazy world.
Im 18 and im a recovering alcoholic, i got put on my leave from my job because i was caught drunk. I wasnt fired, just told to gwt help, now sober for 7 months, and dont plan on drinking aoon.
I think you were drunk when you wrote this with these spelling mistake LMFAO, jk..
18 and alcoholic? Russia?
SpawN No just not america where 21 is age limit? When i were 15 i had a 9 weekend drinking streak... After that it wasnt cool anymore. Now i drink maybe once in 2-4 months.
Glibzer God bless bro! You're an inspiration to me, I'm trying to stay sober this new year!
SpawN
usa buddy.
I had a really traumatic experience drinking the other day. It's made me wanna change my life around, and stay sober. We can do it guys!
Me too. I had 2 drinks and my husband got drunk at our 1 yr olds birthday party. It should've been a happy time, ruined by alcohol, just like the end of our wedding. My husband sometimes gets nasty when he's drunk, he's been verbally abusive to me and my 12 yr old son. It has to stop now, I'm disgusted by alcohol. Fed up, I flipped out on him at the party, told everyone he was drunk and flagged, then he threatened divorce because nothing makes him nastier than being called out when he's drinking. Most of the time he's the sweetest, funniest, most amazing husband. I'm NOT gonna let alcohol ruin our life. I cant control him but all I can do is stop drinking myself cuz I've been drinking too much too. Good luck and God bless you on your alcohol free journey as well.
@@reesecup3ify how are things now? Did things work out?
This isn't a 'We' journey. Its yours and yours alone.
you can do it
I drank since my teens by my thirties it became an everyday thing then when i hit 40-41 totally lost the desire to drink and smoke weed out of nowhere, now I go to sleep early and get up early and enjoy working out. I don't know why or how this happened but I'm loving it and I feel awesome
Same here, brother. Feeling so much better and can actually enjoy the morning now. It's weird in a good way.
Bravo!!! My way to stay sober is through personal development including planning the day, every day I write down in a notebook my list of things to do, great notebooks with quotes for recovering alcoholics are on amazon, search: "hungry man notebooks". I haven't drunk for 555 days and I'm happy

Today is my first day of quitting alcohol.. thats why watching this video.. wish me luck friends 😊
Good luck to you! I hope you can stay off of it. Depending on how much, how often, and how long you have been drinking, it can take several months for
the withdrawal symptoms to go away. Things such as panic attacks, heart palpitations, and general anxiety are the usual symptoms. Those will eventually go away. In the end, you will feel a whole lot better. It's best to never drink again, not even small amounts. It's a great idea to also stop caffeine completely also, if your aim is to feel as good as possible and be able to sleep properly.
Good luck, you can do this xxx
Good luck!!! How’s it going so far??? I really just want and need to stop. But I don’t have a good support system so talking to someone who understands my problem helps a lot.
How's it going? Quitting drinking was the best decision I made 21 years ago! Sober life is so much better....
Punjab Express .am following ure footsteps now, THANX. 😶
dropped alcohol and weed, best decision ever
Frank Puttemans why weed tho?
StepOutside Musique I get lazy, antisocial, unmotivated and paranoid from smoking weed
Balsac Teabaghar no it is just his type of personality. I have the same problem with weed, so I am not smoking anymore
+mr 420 Weed makes people look like clowns and dumber then shit
i have exactly the same problem, did u read about that type of personality stuff somewher or just assume it's because of that?, weed always makes me socially awkaward and triggers my anxiety but i usually enjoy it alone, really hard for me to explain how somebody could be so chilled and relaxed on weed all the time, so i kinda want to understand why is that, if u read it somewhere pls tell me where can i find more info
I've been drinking heavy since the age of 15. I can't just go out for a few beers, I had to get plastered. How I got away with it for so long is astonishing. But in Feb 2018 I got very sick because of the alcohol abuse. I was 18.07 stone when I was admitted to hospital. Two days after I was discharged I began to exercise, light weights. Today I am 14.07 and sober. I am 60 year's old and pray I can enjoy the rest of my life sober. If I can do it you can do it too.
Best of luck bud! You can so it!! 👍
Congrats staffy! I too was hospitalized in feb 2018 - for my birthday no less - due to decades of alcohol and the poor eating decisions made afterward. I dropped 40 lbs - intentionally - by May. Just ate correctly and had zero alcohol. It worked. Felt so amazing, bright, clear, focused, energetic - all of it. Then I had a thing and suffered a setback and I caved and drank again. I’d say I’m consuming about 1/5th to 1/4th of what I used to drink but still my clarity and energy is zapped due to drinking once or twice a week. On June 10, I’m quitting it all again. At my age, I need to focus, drive, and determination to make it to retirement and beyond. And I don’t plan on taking alcohol there with me. Thanks for sharing your experience bud.
@@TheDanno210 its never too late. Alcohol, nicotine and sugar are poisons. Reclaim your body while you still can. You can do it! 👍

Really appreciate him creating this video. I've recently gotten sober and 'working the steps' has been the only way for me so far to do it. 45 days in; this video highlights the so many benefits and I resonated strongly with every single one!! Encouragement and support for anyone thinking they need to get sober; not all do but know like he said that I've had a destructive relationship with alcohol for years and the disease runs in my family.
8 months in and just done my first sober New Years eve in 30 years !! Best thing I ever did! Good luck all :)
New Kids On The Blockchain for me first New Years and Christmas sober in 10 years 😁
Congratulations on having a sober New Year's Eve. Keep up the good work.
Just because its legal, doesn't mean it can't harm you. I don't touch the shit.

Well aren't you superior
It’s legal for collect revenue and make people non sense
Absolutely!!
Just like women.
cant wait to be a month sober im only a few days in.
the next couple of weeks are going to suck, but thats a tiny fucking hurdle compared to the grave you were digging. Stay focused, and try to keep yourself occupied to keep your mind off the urges, and within a couple weeks you'll start feeling good about yourself for the first time in a long time and will finally have your life back
Dave Smith thanks brotha
It is an emotional Rollercoaster ride. Just hold on. You can do it. I've got 2 years and 9 months in. So far it is worth it..
good luck, man.
Mephilis thanks that helps bro.
I made mistakes that ruined my life and finding this video really helped me try to stop drinking. I watch this video everyday
4 months sober today and have honestly never felt better!
Scott Urwin , are you into splif ?
I'm currently a few months and that's from a six pack every night or every other night sometimes more than a six pack. I now feel also and I'm happy I stopped.

I think I might order that. For $37, even if I fail miserably, that's how much I spent on alcohol yesterday! It's worth a try, because I have to do something. Thanks for the information.
I will quit drinking alcohol right now because it's already controlling my entire life and it makes me look stupid and poor
Magnus, Let me know if you'd like help quitting. I tried tons of times before and wasted a lot of time doing so... But I finally made it :)

@@nate4166 man this is my 5 time going in 5 days strong here we go again man 😌
There are very few things in my life that bring no benefit to my life. Drink is one of them.
@@nate4166 I need help. Been drinking 25 years...I'm ready to quit
quit drinking 2 years ago. one of the best decisions of my life.
can i ask you what your motivation was to quit drinking.
I quit a year ago. For me it was my health and also my sanity. I gained a lot of weight from beer and mentally it can really make you a nervous wreck after a while.
thewewguy8t88 I drank because I wasn't living up to my life expectations. I went back to school and stopped hanging out witg people that drank. I really just keep myself so busy that I don't have time to drink. I work full-time and am studying to be a physical Therapist. Also staying close to loved ones is a huge help. Keep people close to you who don't let you drink and tell them to hold you accountable. It was very hard for me to stop and don't be discouraged if you fail a few times. The main tip I recommend is just to avoid thar first beer and avoid people who encourage drinking. Hit the gym and stay busy. After a while that urge to drink will die down. It will never go away but over time it is easier to say no.
oh okay for me its a mater of i want to drink i drink i do not want to drink i do not drink although if people offer me a drink i wont say so no. but that does not happen too too often and even when someone does offer me a drink too often in the span of a few days i end up saying no.
I'm kinda annoyed at myself. I hadn't drank in 5 months and gave in to a craving. I'm back not drinking again but I'm pissed off at myself for giving in. I realise it's a pointless endeavour to beat myself up though. Really looking forward to getting back to how amazing I felt when I wasn't boozing

Good job...
Robert Logan shag about you Robert have you stayed clean?
I am an alcoholic and I've been battling it for the past three years I've gone from 24 beers a day for three years down to twice a week I drink six. It is so hard just to get a bottle of water when it's next to beer cooler. Any of you going through it I wish the best to you all.
Failure is not fatal Eugene. Just make the detour a short one and start again to strive for sobriety
I'm cutting back on alcohol and one day I hope to quit. Thanks for sharing this!
Man, I am a day sober, I am praying to make it to a year without touching alcohol, God help me achieve my goals
Update? I stopped drinking last year for a few months just to show myself I wasn't dependent on alcohol. Personally for me the first day and the first week were the hardest!
Congratulations on trying to improve yourself. Keep up the good work.

You can do ONE day 🙂
That's how I did it, 8 years ago in January
It's difficult initially but once you get traction and gain a momentum, trust me, it becomes increasingly easier to handle. You get to a time when being drunk seems so far away that relapse is not even on the cards.
Stay strong my friend, it's only alcohol, you're way more powerful.

I love to drink a beer after a hard days work. I work as a framer and come home beat up and back hurting every day the first thing im think n about is a cold beer to kill the pain. I usualy drink 4 beers if not more every day . last night i drank 7 beers even though i woke up fine Im ready for a change today will be my first day with no beer after work. I know i have to stay focused and strength en my will power. This vid is aswome motivation.
All my bro and sisters out their who r ready to fight the same fight stay strong . love u all and we can do any thing we set our mind to.
Same here I'm stopping drinking
Stay strong!
Same here man, I'm a carpenter/woodworker. After long day I have average of 5 beers after. Not sure I want to ditch it completely, but want to cut back significantly. Not sure if I'm even addicted to it really... beer with family and friends when get back from work is just always what I've done. Eat healthily and exercise, so not exactly out of shape, but know cutting back would make a massive difference for sure.
Having a beer after a hard day's work is ok.. Don't quit!! You've earned it..
Framing is ASS. I just started in a carpenters apprenticeship and I feel your pain!
but I thought quitters never win
Joseph Arning People don't win wars by never quitting. They know when to retreat.
+Jay Sun true
well he's not gonna win anymore party drinking contests that's for sure
Joseph Arning bad choices should be quit.. thats how a winner thinks
Joseph Arning+ idiot, you're quitting life by drinking.
Glad to hear you quitting alcohol and chewing tobacco.. The best thing you could have done for yourself and most probably contributed to you ability and perseverance to create "Alpha M." as a RUclips channel, as well as your other businesses...
I smoked for 9 years, and smoked marijuana for more than 20.. When the cigarettes took its toll physically, psychologically, and financially, I used marijuana to quit tobacco cold turkey.. AND IT WORKED.. And when the same happened in regards to marijuana, I quit cold turkey as well.. Although it took a few tries with the marijuana.. The best thing I could have done for myself.. Because of that, I'm able to cycle 5-6 days a week in the warmer months, each ride about 38 km's, and cutting 50 pounds so far.. That is still a work in progress though that is continuing this spring to cut another 20-25 pounds.. There is NO WAY I could have done it while smoking cigarettes and marijuana.. The tar was just too much, restricting the oxygen flow, which is how you lose weight..
One step at a time, Aaron, and I'm glad to say you are one of the people helping me personally on my journey.. I'm sure countless others too..
TubeDeviant good luck brother. Love from Nepal
TubeDeviant aye bro, can I ask if you dieted and if you did how did you do it ? I'm asking because I'm currently in an attempt to break my alcoholism habit, along with that I want to cut about 40 pounds
Thank you..!!
+Ray Lopez Hey man. Glad to hear you trying to break those bad habits.. Before I give some tips, I have to say, you have to WANT to do it.. No one can make you do it.. So you have to dig deep inside yourself, make a plan, and constantly remind yourself why you want to makes those changes in your life when times get tough..
In regards to cutting, it may seem overwhelming at first, but you have to take everything into account.. You need to start tracking the calories you eat, try to cut out liquid calories, including alcohol, eat more fruits and vegetables, start exercising (find something you actually enjoy, otherwise it won't become a habit..), make sure you're not eating too much sugar and sodium, make sure you're getting a good amount of sleep and a good quality of sleep as well..
Exercising helped turn my stress, anxiety, and depression around 180 degrees NATURALLY, so exercise is very important.. Stress drives up cortisol in your body, which promotes fat storage, that's why it's important.. Another thing is weight lifting.. Although I have to say, I haven't started lifting yet.. Building muscle will raise your resting metabolic rate..
Just take things slowly, making changes that you can handle.. If you can cut out all the alcohol, I'm pretty sure you will lose weight, without doing anything else.. But if you cut out the alcohol, eat more healthy, and exercise, you will see drastic changes and see good progress in time.. Be PATIENT.. Give yourself room to have cheat meals.. And be CONSISTENT.. It may take a year, it may take longer, depending on what you do.. Do what you can without overwhelming yourself so it doesn't feel difficult..
My journey has taken longer than I would have liked, but my diet isn't the cleanest and I don't lift weights yet..
TubeDeviant thanks man, that means a lot I was actually an all state powerlifting athlete in high school but things went everywhere after a few things happened in my life thanks again for the kind words I'll be sure to keep pushing, have a good one man 🤘🏻
I really like how you say that being sober feels like you’re on drugs lol, because it does!! It’s such a great natural high to be not hungover or buzzed from the night before. I’ve tried to stop many times before but watching these videos help keep me sober and remind me how to have fun without drinking. Thanks for the video and sharing your story!
Facts
I’m on day 43 after 30 years of drinking nightly. Not even interested in picking up a drink again but still struggling with some withdrawal anxiety. Stay strong!
It'll hit you one Friday lol....You'll think, what can it hurt, and then you'll be back. They all come back hehehe😈
It was the Benzodiazepines I was mixing with it for the past six years that completely turned me off to wanting another drink. Rebound anxiety sucks
destruya take it a day at a time, pray and it's o.k to vent the cravings not act on them
Ben Bending Rodriguez Kik rocks
destruya congrats...I'm on day 55..from drink every day for 3 or 4 years...I'm struggling also with withdrawals mentally and physically..stay strong
Day 17 for me, its St.Patricks day here in Ireland and I actually resisted. Society is hooked on alcohal.
Indeed they are! Most ppl are walking dead! Due to numbed our brains 🧠
Congratulations keep going I personally don’t drink but I did see affect on my husband almost packed my bags he is a kind men works Monday to Friday but weekends he was someone I couldn’t recognise . Rude, and emotional abused me for no reason. Since then been 6 months he stopped though was going to be happy then he had this strong moods he was like a tornado I felt like I was walking in an eggs shell I was so confused 🤷🏿♀️ up until i sat him down that we need to involve professional who then advices us . Shortly the moods swings was because of alcohol withdrawal gradually he came out of it and he goes for a run every morning we communicate more better now his confidence is back we don’t argue much . Finally I’m having peaceful weekends. Been 6 months now . Congratulations guys it hard I know but keep going
Truelove Nxasana tell him I said well done
Wow that's a feat. Congratulations

only because you weren't able to control yourself and drink responsibly like a grownup...
Nicholas Z. Everybody has their weaknesses buddy, don't you?
Yes but I don't celebrate them. In fact I'm quite ashamed of my weaknesses. Quitting is relatively easy. Moderation, that's challenging...

I hope you’re still doing well! I’m three days in
Yeah it's been 2 months now. Everything been on track since I stopped. Peace, purpose and progress are the P's I'm pushing.
I stopped drinking for 2 1/2 months and I was productive as hell. The moment I drank again, I lost weeks of productivity.

Good on you for making this and being so real and honest. Thank you
1. Stopped doing Stupid things.
2. I felt better and Incredible.
3. My mind was clear incredible sense of well-being & clarity. I started perceiving things differently.
4. I was More Creative. .
5. Productivity skyrocketed. More inspired and more passion
6. Started making more money. Drinking is expensive. Also, not spending as much on alcohol or nicotine products.
7. I started looking better. Skin was clear, bright and hydrated.
8. Staying in shape was so much easier. Amazing what changed in my body. Removed the crappy foods while drinking.
9. I was proud of myself, and stopped hating myself the next morning by doing dumb things, sleeping with the wrong people, stopped doing the dumb stuff, etc. Developed higher self-esteem, bc I
was making better decisions.
10. The cloud lifted and disappeared in my life. Every aspect ab out my life is 1,000% better, disappeared; my life has astronomically Improved, I am on focus and get more done in a day.
How soon or when was it you started to notice these things individually ? Just curious. Im 11 days in.

Augie Cardenas 2020 lets get it
Good on you
People who have quited or cut Down on drinking always says how good it is and you keep hearing these middle aged people saying how good it is to not drink, yet when you are young or in Your 20's, everything social is about drinking and if you dont drink people think youre boring
The Seven Angels That's a really nice generalization I must have been from another dimension because all throughout my twenties I didn't drink and didn't go to clubs every weekend
The Seven Angels your brain changes and your goals change.
The Seven Angels Get some other friends. I'm exactly 20 years old (In PR alcohol is legal after 18) never had a sip of alcohol and I still go out and hang out with friends. Sure some of them drink that doesnt mean I cant have a good time without drinking.
I totally agree with you. I stopped drinking at the end of college. I don't if I could made the same decision at the beginning of it.
Social pressure is very high when you are 18-20 and, in my case, my self esteem was very low. So, it was quite hard to say no to a round of drinks.
Anyway, I think drinking some years of your life is not that bad. The real problem begin when you continously drink in your 30s or 40s. You start having serious problems.
In conclusion, I think it's great that people who are in late 20s or 30s stress the importance of quitting alcohol and how good you feel after that. Anyway, don't feel bad if you drink and get wasted every weekend. Just consider the idea that your drinking habits could change in the future.
i m at uni, so early 20s, our house is mostly drinkers even the girls, but 1 guy and 1 girl don't drink and we don't find them boring.
I caught this video a little over 4 years ago. I had just decided to quite drinking. The google algorithm knew what I needed to see, this video gave me some motivation. I’d never heard of Alpha M and I’ve been a subscriber ever since. First 30 days were hard, next 30 was slightly easier, after than it became a “how long will I go” welp, still going strong four years later and life couldn’t be better. Thanks Alpha.
Bro...this brought me to tears...I am SO-hard-trying to stop...this was really encouraging.
Dammit Alpha, this was inspiring until you had to throw in that ad..
Times have changed brah. His channel is huge now and he has sponsors that must be satisfied. He still delivers good material though.
MoGainz787 I understand that, but this is a more serious and life altering thing he did and can change someone who is going through this right now. He did not NEED to include it here. I've seen RUclipsrs not include ads or sponsors because it's more based on the topic of the video rather than to make a buck.
He owns that company so advertises it pretty aggressively .. he doesn't do that with regular sponsors, but yea he doesn't need to put it in the middle of his content...
Jubayer Ahmed I understand that but... Can't we skip it once for a really great topic he had? It really ruined the vibe of the video after he chucked it in.
I agree it was slightly poor placement. But, the dude is an entrepreneur doing what they do. This is a typical evolution for a channel / business like this. I think most woukd prefer if all forms of advertisement were suppressed, but it's the price we pay for free content.
I find your videos incredibly real and inspirational. I've found myself in horrific situations owing to alcohol and my own bad decisions. Unlike other RUclipsrs, you touch the root of things, get down to the grain and it makes you so much more relatable. Thank you 🙂

In the last year of the relationship, I quit smoking TOO. I only drank on the weekend but got a job where I couldn't do that. She betrayed me and we split up. She said it happened because I didn't party with her anymore! Lol I have been doing amazing ever since and she is still partying and losing. I never went back either! To either...
Fuck that bitch lol
Back to drinking or back to her

I am disabled and I have chronic pains. I smoked tobacco, did drugs and drank excessively as a crutch to ease my pains but I was a sorry ass. I blamed everyone for my troubles. Then I finally got SSI and started going to the pain clinic. As a result I stopped drugs, then alcohol and finally tobacco. Tobacco was the hardest to stop. I can tell you that life was a whole lot better for me. I'm not pain free but it's being managed.
I saw the light and you saw the light. Congrats.
Burb amen to that, I mysrlf being 75% disabled with terrible back, and r arthritis since 13 also crutched my ailments with drugs and alcohol....now I know nothing stops pain...you have to work around it, and manage it...I found exersise and clean eating, living is far better than the other way....I also moved to Tampa from NY and know some people must change everything even where they live to find balance.
Today I celebrate 22 days sobriety. Yesterday marked the end of the "21 day challenge" I took, but I chose not to have a celebratory beer or glass of wine. I'm making it a 30 day challenge now. Hope to keep going as far as possible. I lost TEN pounds by cutting alcohol out. That's all I changed and it made THAT much of an impact. If you're here watching this video for inspiration, and read this comment, hopefully this is some added motivation for you: your body will love you for it!
Day 25, i feel great, was drunk for two years
Gregg Smith keep going
Thank you Seineele
Gregg Smith I'm only on my day 2 lol
Seineela i found the first five days were really harsh, i was not craving alcohol but i felt very sick, my kidneys and liver were very sore, i drank a shit load of water and ate a lot of fruit,hang in there it does make a difference in your life.
regards
Day 26, good luck everyone, we can beat this .
18 years sober not a drop yet going strong
Even that is impressive. At 16 i was getting wasted at house parties
Way to go!!!
This settlement is alcohol free.
That's awsome bro I hope I can achieve that someday
And how many settlements have benefited
The best method that worked for me was changing my social circle.
I picked up speed reading books and before I realize, I preferred people who discuss wide range of topics instead of just sports, beers and hot colleagues
I speed read books halfway through a bottle of scotch.
Now what?
@@turtleinashirt Do you remember them, though?
Conor M yes and can often quote them verbatim. That isn’t to say I shouldn’t drink less, but that it’s not always as easy as replacing it with other activities.
@@turtleinashirt My recall-memory was always pretty crap and sometimes I worried that I was developing alzheimers or some shit. When I don't drink for a few weeks my mental clarity is through the roof.
I still have to read a book at least 3 times to remember the jist of it, though.
Conor M then I look forward to being able to memorize the Bible this year :P
Everything that happened to you when you quit drinking is happening to me! Thanks for sharing your story, it helped me quit drinking because I had something so great to look forward to.
I can relate. I used to work in a medical marijuana dispensary as a manager. I smoked mmj (never cigarettes) for about 8 years since I was a teenager and I had been drinking for about a year on a daily basis.
One day, I woke up and realized I felt like crap and didn't feel anything without mmj or a drink. That same day, I left work early, threw away all of my mmj, glass pipes, accessories, and poured my alcohol down the drain. I quit that job the next day. I couldn't stand the smell of it anymore, it's like a switch flipped. My body was speaking to me and I listened. Now, just a year later, I run 5-10 miles per day, drink only water, tea, and black coffee. I'm more fit, 10 times more successful in my career and I feel 100 times better. My wife has a drink a few times a week at home, but I'm never tempted to partake because I feel better being stone cold sober than I ever did on drugs or drinking alcohol. Having not gone a day without mmj for 8 years and finally getting through the first couple of difficult weeks of quitting, sobriety was the only high I needed. I feel more, I see more, and most importantly I appreciate everything in my life and in the world more.
Awesome. You should knock the coffee though - you'll be amazed at how much further energy you get when it's out of your system, it's a similar trap to nicotine to making you think that you are more relaxed .
Almost made me cry man!
this is truly inspiring brother...
Thanks for sharing bud
according to Newsweek, and other sources - a new study shows that no level of alcohol intake is good, so congratulations. Your wife should check out the article and the study, it's in The Lancet. Alcohol causes cancer.
I found my waist again ... AND I lost some real idiot friends ... it’s all good 😊
Ha! That's awesome. The drink clouds your brain.
