I was a heavy drinker for years almost everyday and now I’m 5 months sober, I feel so much better without alcohol and would never go back, if your thinking about it, it’s probably time to make the change… one of the biggest traps in society today

After 15 yrs I finally stopped cold turkey on everything June 10th this year. This the longest I've been sober since 21yo. Replaced with junk food, but I'm mentally better.
Since I've technically given up drinking its given me the power of controlling moderation. But it required me to quit cold turkey for a bit first. Once I learned discipline, moderation has been perfect !
I love to see how the men are having this conversation about our health and supporting one another. Let's continue to be healthy and live along time to see our kids grow up.
14 months sober today I'm 28. Always had problems with binge drinking since i was 14. My life has improved in everyway. Boring sometimes, but better than fucking up my whole life lol
Been contemplating stopping drinking for a minute now. Of course I randomly see this video. I don’t feel like an alcoholic but the shit is hard to stop completely. Salute the OG
Yea I wouldn’t say you’re an alcoholic but it’s hard to stop because it’s a habit. You’re just so used to doing it that it becomes second nature. You’re an addict if your life is crumbling but you’re fine with it as long as you have alcohol.
I have cut back so damn much. I only drink to party or socialize, never to escape so I think that's why I never developed a problem. A 5th might last me 4 or 5 months one time, i left a bottle on the fridge so long, most of the alcohol evaporated. Shit was nasty.
Dope I stopped smoking & drinking 3 years ago. To replace the time I spent doing that. I damn near have a complete home gym now. Curl bar, dip bar, pull up bar & some dumbells. My car & clothes don't stink like smoke. My mouth ain't black. I eat more I'm in the best shape of my life
@@deltahomicide9300 Nah I don't crave it. I quit cold turkey because I got into it with somebody & was questioning whether not I was tripping because I was intoxicated. I said you know what I need to be sober because certain folks will try to get over because they think you're not in your right mind.
Much respect. I've finally reached a point where I can see people with a beer, even be offered one, and turn it down because like he said, it doesn't do anything for me.
I have been sober for 1 year and I don't think I can ever go back to drinking. My skin, muscle development, energy, and mood have never been better. You literally age backwards when you stop alcohol and drugs.
45 years old been drinking since 14,, heavy binge drinker. Thing is you think your indestructible but once you get to your 40s things change, not just physically but also your brain can't handle it like it used to,, it started to turn me into a loony. The thing is with alcohol if you have underlying mental health conditions it just makes you crazy, same with drugs,, it puts you up into the realms of insanity. Thats why some people can drink forever but they don't sleep or eat and are completely dysfunctional and wreckless,, because they are on unsafe levels of madness. And often these people like i was are also taking every drug they can get hold of,the two go hand in hand, but trust me the older you get it is very slippery slope,, your i danger of losing everything because your chances get thinner and thinner every year. Like ozzie osbourne said your go either end up in jail, homeless or in a mental hospital. Some people simply have no control with it
I had never surpassed 60 days without drinking since I was in college. Recently I stopped drinking for 18 months until I went to Jamaica for vacation where I indulged in the rum punch and the Presidente over 7 days. 😎 When I returned home the craving stayed where it belongs in the Caribbean!
@@DaddyLondon You just noticed your health decline, it your always sick, if your stomach feels off. Plus if your drink alot of alcohol then it's inevitable that you'll ruin your liver
@@scottsomkhit544getting tired of being hungover in the morning or that foggy feeling the entirety of the next day. The headaches, the shakes, the knowing that you’re destroying your body and hurting your family. It’s many factors but addicts only quit when they want to no matter the trigger
Addiction is tough. Hope this brother all the success in overcoming those obstacles. The war will last forever and the battles will be daily but the results will allow you to focus on the many victories during your journey.
I stopped drinking & smoking for 3 months & I haven't smoked or drank any alcohol since. I miss smoking weed but health is wealth & health comes first. I'm 32yrs old & I'm starting to be more conscious about my health because I don't want to wait till I reach 50 & then decide I want to start talking care of myself because it might be too late & things might start going wrong so to avoid any of that I decided I will stop & once in a blue moon I may drink some wine & sometimes I vape but only occasionally & at first it was hard for me to stop but music is one of the few things that helps me stop & I exercise more by running & doing some push ups & I'm keeping it that way & I barely go out or hangout because I would be tempted to start back smoking & drinking again
Me too, I quit smoking weed in 2019 an I was doin it every now and then but I stopped completely an I do miss it sometimes but u right health is wealth an I was never a drinker so that was easy to completely quit.
@RonaldJames-eo2hc.. That's smart. It's good you're starting to monitor your health at your age now. I'm 48, and I can tell you it's harder as you get older, but if you begin to be more conscious of it at a younger age, it'll be easier. My cholesterol and triglycerides started creeping up during my early 40s. By then, old habits are harder to break. I just got my lab back last week and it's the best it's been in years, but it has been a lot of work. Good for you that you're taking it seriously now. Keep it up!
Facts! Turning 30 and I’ve been health conscious lately tryna start back working out and still praying to quit smoking but I slowed down a lot compared to how I use to smoke but no drinks rarely occasion
Went from smoking every day while living with my ex in my late 20s to now stopping a few months after my 32nd, glad I put the drink down in my early 20s as well. May go back to a lil or just stick with edibles but it definitely takes a toll and can tell my body is trying to detox with all the mucus and phlegm I've been releasing. Drink more water and keep healthy kings we all we got.
I completely stopped drinking last year and now I can’t imagine going back because I feel so good without it! Mind and body much stronger and sharper without it!
Man I swear this shxt is crazy how I came across this video my aunt was in the hospital cause alcohol ate her liver she kept calling cause she wanted to hear my voice and I called her Tuesday and spoke to her and the hospital released her Wednesday cause it wasn't nothing they could do and I got the message Thursday evening my aunt had passed thursday morning at 1pm from now on I'm straight water h2o and smoothies I been clean from smoking since 2012 and stop drinking in 2016 to the people that's reading my comment 2025 man y'all need to start taking care of y'all health I'm just the messenger and rest in peace to my aunt Betty my God 🕊🕊🕊😢
Man....I used to drink heavy in my 20s-30s, wake up feeling like dog shit the next day just to do it all over again. Like the man Warren said, I won't say I'll never drink again, but it will have to be on a day when I don't have anything to do the following day or just have ONE drink (it's hard just to have one, so I'd rather be sober, lol!). Filling the day with productive activities helps (work, school, exercise, pursuing hobby/passion project, helping in the community, etc.) Peace 🙏✌
Quitting alcohol is extremely hard, especially if you have an addiction so much praise to the OG for staying on a healthy path!! After getting a certain age you have to slow down on it or your body will definitely show you in other ways that you need to quit.
Iam 43 yrs old and was a alcoholic for years due to depression and stress and trying to hide the pain I dranked so much that I was no longer getting drunk and I got tired of drinking so July 8 of 2024 I stopped drinking all together also being a chronic alcoholic caused me to age a lot what you do to your body on the inside will eventually show on the outside I have been sober for 4 months and still going strong it’s also been 4 months since I stopped smoking weed my health is more important and I want to live longer I also stopped hanging around people who still drink and smoke so I won’t fall back into temptation you have to change people places and things if you want to see change
5 years clean and sober, I stopped smoking weed before I stopped drinking alcohol‼️.. My health is the most important thing that I have going on in life.. 3-4 days working out 1-2 hours, my next problem is I need to change my eating habits...
Yup, I'm 28 and I've been hospitalized three times because I struggle incredibly with alcohol. This last time I went essentially into shock and couldn't move because my body was shutting down due to poisoning my liver and no electrolytes in me. Got control very quickly this last trip and have been blessed greatly with what has come. I will be honest, I do drink when I go out still and with friends, but that needs to change all together in all honesty. Day by day and just so everyone knows my opinion, alcohol is the hardest drug to quit and the worst drug in existence
Props to Warren for him sharing this personal story. Props to all you grown men out there who are going through sobriety and putting your health 1st. Addiction is hard as fuck to overcome. I struggled with drug addiction for 14+ years. Alcoholism too but not as bad. Cancer sticks too. I have over 16 yrs clean & completely gave it all up. Haven’t had a drink in 2 yrs and stop smoking them cancer sticks in 15 yrs. It ain’t easy but it’s all possible. My kids and their mom is my motivation. I ultimately do it for me. When you love your life and freedom, it can be achieved. Props to all of you.
I've been drinking since a teenager and thought I would never quite. I went cold turkey it's been over a month. I feel great sleep better, more energy, losing weight and my mood has improved. I've decided a glass of champagne on very special occasions is the limit. If you're on the fence just stop you can do it!
Was an alcoholic for years, months sober now. I'm better, but still some health challenges and honestly surprised I'm alive. 2 things: Change your routine to where drinking isn't part of your life. I started working out again, slowly and not too hard to where you're okay to come back the next day. 2nd; Realize that the truth is that there is NOTHING good from drinking alcohol. Truth is it's a poison and it's holding you back from doing better in EVERYTHING in your life.

Is it a that big of a deal if u drink only at nite every nite but it's 1-2 16 oz 12% drinks(similar 2 mikes harder,smirnoff) but lil stronger at 12% and ur intake or need for more never increases over time
@ I think drinking every night is excessive. Maybe try cutting it down to just Friday and Saturday and keep reducing until you no longer want to drink. Then
I’m 33 at the moment and have been drinking since i was 16. I really pray that I do finally kick this habit , it really holds me back from reaching my full potential
I been drinkin pretty much every nite 4 about a yr now but it's 1-2 16 oz 12% drinks(similar 2 mikes harder smirnoff flavored drinks) and my intake or desire 4 more has not increased at all over the time
Lol I kinda did the same thing. When I knew I was done w ethanol. I went out drinking w my man and the next day I quit FOR GOOD! I’m so proud of myself
Thank you for sharing this Warren, this was really educational to me now I’ll be looking differently at my drinking habit much love to you stay blessed!
Can’t sleep, get the shakes, mood is irritated, can’t focus cause i want a drink, cant sit still, hands shake etc. I am 3 days without alcohol and i really don’t want to drink anymore.
@ today was day 6. The first few days weren’t easy at all, but last night i was able to get a bit of sleep. I stayed busy all day today and have felt like going to the liquor store but i stayed home. Man this is hard 😫
@@Caliboi310 OK glad for your endurance and success..but sounds like your detoxing and Sometimes medical assistance can be required..Just keeping paying attention to your body..Good job❤️
Crazy how I ran into this video, I've stopped drinking as well, im only 2 months in but I feel great. I'm gonna try to keep it going and see how long I can go. Props to you warren g. 💪💪💪
Getting off alcohol now due to high bp. I can cold turkey it but doctor said to wean off of it or else it could cause severe withdrawls. Having a glass of wine rn and thats it. Prayers to everybody on this journey and if you have any input pls let me know. We got this🙏🏾💯

@@kevinmcqueen9180 THE STRUGGLE IS REAL...LIKE , I DIDNT KNW HOW SERIOUS THAT HABIT IS...BUT IM STRIVING AND GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY... THANKS FOR REMINDED ME KEV APPRECIATE U KING
THANK YOU WARREN G FOR SPEAKING ON THIS SUBJECT. TO ALL MEN OUT HERE, CHECK UP BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT. HEALTH IS WEALTH. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AND GO SEE THE DOCTOR.
Alcohol and cigarettes literally have no benefit for the human body whatsoever. NEVER touch cigs and if you do happen to drink just drink a little. You don’t need to drink until you’re seeing double or can’t walk. Just have a drink, once you feel the buzz stop and then sip water (slowly) the rest of the night….
That's the strategy for me. I've noticed if I don't drink for several weeks, and then I have a couple beers or scotch, I get so excited to have them and it's satisfying. If you drink them all the time it just becomes a drinking problem.
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God, He changed my life. Now I have a home, a Wife and a lovely daughter (Jessica), and a stream of income that gets me $44,000 Every month. Plus a new identity - a child of God. Hallelujah!!!
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery . Glory to God.shalom.
drinking is not the issue the problem is how much and how often you drink thats why everything has to be done in moderation and im living proof of that im a drinker with a clean bill of health all praises to the most high God!!
I just turned 45 on November 3rd! And I have done so lifestyle changes I feel so much better. I am still myself but I’m a little more health concision I want to kick it with my future grandkids and listen to warren G and all the west coast legends and reminisce like a gangster!!! Much respect homeboy keep it up !!!!
I just turned 46 on November 4th, and I would drink a glass of wine every week. I go to the gym 3 to 4 days a week, and I feel great. Health is wealth.
People don’t realize they have a problem until its too late. Too many end up with permanent problems when they should have stopped and started rehabbing in their 20s or 30s
This popped on my timeline. I never question the reason, maybe GOD wants me to provide wisdom/my experience. I had a non-alcoholic fatty liver which comes from junk food(sugar, fast food, etc.) I didn’t understand why my stomach was big since I’ve always had a small/slim frame body. After my diagnosis, I learned about drinking lemon water(putting lemon slices in room temperature water). It helped, tremendously, for a healthy liver and flat tummy. Also, to eliminate mucus from the body, I drink lime water(key lime slices in r-t water), every morning. Drinking alcoholic beverages or not drinking alcoholic beverages you can still have health issues but always seek medical help. Thanks.
People numb themselves with alcohol and drugs because of feeling miserable being their normal selves its a mind thing but once you get addicted you become dependent find another hobby🤷🏾♂️ before adult hood everybody was kids enjoying themselves normally accordingly thru outlets of other things to be involved with joyfully but as we age we get turn onto mentally impaired addictions dependency which train our mind thinking its substances we need to feel better within ourselves It's A Trick A Mind Thing SOBRIETY! 🙌🏾 GET TURN ON YA GET TURN OUT🤔
People should go visit ERs and nursing homes and rehabs to see the effects of that addiction. Many in the last two are them in a few years if they are lucky
Im 37. I started drinking alcohol later than most, at 25. Yes, I had some good times but thankfully I learned I really don't need it. Its too expensive, no health benefits whatsoever, its poisonous and I realize I can absolutely have fun sober.
Yeh we are programmed to drink from young from our parents, tv adverts, social media etc in Uk if you don’t drink your like an alien 👽 😂best buzz is go to a rave or festival sober 💪🏽
@@JamesThomas-pv5en I swear, if you tell people you don't drink water, they'll say "Okay". But if you tell them you don't drink alcohol, their head spins.
34 months sober. I stopped because I’ve been living with 1 kidney since being shot at 20. Kinda like Warren, I celebrated my birthday weekend and knew I was done after that. I remember that pain he’s talking about as well. No coffee either. The acidity and caffeine is no good for the kidney or liver. I don’t crave liquor at all. I loved IPA’s and tequila. I’ll be 52 in December and i still have 2 children that aren’t grown. I raise them so I gots to be here.
This is spot-on concerning the effects that not only alcohol has on our bodies. But the American diet is ladened w/tons of sugar, salt, fat, and processed foods. If we don't take back our temples and feed our kids good, wholesome, natural, unprocessed food, obesity and disease rates are going to continue to keep us sick and addicted. Kudos to Warren G. for staying on top of his health, being honest with his Doctor, and most importantly REGULATING his diet/advice.😉💙👍🏾
Congratulations, man. I have over a year and a half without alcohol and It's enlightening. I've been freestyle and writing rhymes for 22 years, and I'm a good lyricist, but I'm even better without alcohol and I don't like how alcohol is promoted in rap or hip hop when it just leads to our people going to jail or prison.
What if u drink pretty much only at nite pretty much every nite but it's only 1-2 16oz 12% drinks(similar to mikes harder,smirnoff) but 12% and my intake or desire 4 more has not increased over time nor do I crave it any other time except at nite
@ckack1372 Yea I see what u mean cause I like to have a beer usually while I'm in the process of cooking up a meal it could be a 24 oz or a 40 ounce but it's just something that I like to do while in the process of cooking up a nighttime meal and it doesn't really seem to go beyond that.
@@ckack1372that’s still bad ….i know it’s not what we wanna hear but a small drink everyday adds up and becomes a bigger problem. We have to be honest with ourselves. I just recently quit pot after 31 years. We all know what we’re supposed to be doing.
i’m 48 and i definitely started drinking more at the start of the pandemic, then got divorced during the pandemic and about a year or so ago i noticed i couldn’t wait til 5pm because i was drinking everyday almost, I think most of it was out of boredom, i was so use to being married and someone in the house, but once i caught myself, i limited it to the weekends, but lately ive been considering quitting all together
Hey, I know you're struggling with drinking, and I just want to say that if you want to quit, you can do it. I'm on day 78 of sobriety, and it's been the best decision I've ever made.
Fellas take your health seriously The money doesn't mean anything if you're in the grave I don't think I can completely stop drinking alcohol but I've cut my consumption of spirits down to maybe once a week and if I have anything it's usually wine
When a man get serious about his health and wealth, unstoppable

I had never surpassed 60 days without drinking since I was in college. Recently I stopped drinking for 18 months until I went to Jamaica for vacation where I indulged in the rum punch and the Presidente over 7 days. 😎 When I returned home the craving stayed where it belongs in the Caribbean!
I think I've got a fatty liver right now. This has inspired me to start doing a liver detox. Thanks Warren G
What makes you say that ?
Same here! I didn’t want to accept it but now i need to focus on my health

Kinda cool seeing the OG rappers get old and mature.
Yes VERY Cool, wish we could’ve watched more of our Legends Grow
This is called getting old bro
It is cool

I stopped drinking & smoking for 3 months & I haven't smoked or drank any alcohol since. I miss smoking weed but health is wealth & health comes first. I'm 32yrs old & I'm starting to be more conscious about my health because I don't want to wait till I reach 50 & then decide I want to start talking care of myself because it might be too late & things might start going wrong so to avoid any of that I decided I will stop & once in a blue moon I may drink some wine & sometimes I vape but only occasionally & at first it was hard for me to stop but music is one of the few things that helps me stop & I exercise more by running & doing some push ups & I'm keeping it that way & I barely go out or hangout because I would be tempted to start back smoking & drinking again
Me too, I quit smoking weed in 2019 an I was doin it every now and then but I stopped completely an I do miss it sometimes but u right health is wealth an I was never a drinker so that was easy to completely quit.
@RonaldJames-eo2hc.. That's smart. It's good you're starting to monitor your health at your age now. I'm 48, and I can tell you it's harder as you get older, but if you begin to be more conscious of it at a younger age, it'll be easier. My cholesterol and triglycerides started creeping up during my early 40s. By then, old habits are harder to break. I just got my lab back last week and it's the best it's been in years, but it has been a lot of work. Good for you that you're taking it seriously now. Keep it up!
Facts! Turning 30 and I’ve been health conscious lately tryna start back working out and still praying to quit smoking but I slowed down a lot compared to how I use to smoke but no drinks rarely occasion
@@htownlegend1331that’s awesome. My health consciousness didn’t hit me until 40
Went from smoking every day while living with my ex in my late 20s to now stopping a few months after my 32nd, glad I put the drink down in my early 20s as well. May go back to a lil or just stick with edibles but it definitely takes a toll and can tell my body is trying to detox with all the mucus and phlegm I've been releasing. Drink more water and keep healthy kings we all we got.
Nice To Hear Mc's Talk About Health! Shout-Out The Lox
I completely stopped drinking last year and now I can’t imagine going back because I feel so good without it! Mind and body much stronger and sharper without it!
Man I swear this shxt is crazy how I came across this video my aunt was in the hospital cause alcohol ate her liver she kept calling cause she wanted to hear my voice and I called her Tuesday and spoke to her and the hospital released her Wednesday cause it wasn't nothing they could do and I got the message Thursday evening my aunt had passed thursday morning at 1pm from now on I'm straight water h2o and smoothies I been clean from smoking since 2012 and stop drinking in 2016 to the people that's reading my comment 2025 man y'all need to start taking care of y'all health I'm just the messenger and rest in peace to my aunt Betty my God 🕊🕊🕊😢

Man....I used to drink heavy in my 20s-30s, wake up feeling like dog shit the next day just to do it all over again. Like the man Warren said, I won't say I'll never drink again, but it will have to be on a day when I don't have anything to do the following day or just have ONE drink (it's hard just to have one, so I'd rather be sober, lol!). Filling the day with productive activities helps (work, school, exercise, pursuing hobby/passion project, helping in the community, etc.) Peace 🙏✌

I’m sober going on 8 years ! Alcohol is poison !
Amen!
A lot of other things are to that u aren't aware about 👀.

Welcome to Islam brother
@ I don’t think so !
Quitting alcohol is extremely hard, especially if you have an addiction so much praise to the OG for staying on a healthy path!! After getting a certain age you have to slow down on it or your body will definitely show you in other ways that you need to quit.
Just remember everyone, the first week is the hardest. It gets soooo much easier as you go
Iam 43 yrs old and was a alcoholic for years due to depression and stress and trying to hide the pain I dranked so much that I was no longer getting drunk and I got tired of drinking so July 8 of 2024 I stopped drinking all together also being a chronic alcoholic caused me to age a lot what you do to your body on the inside will eventually show on the outside I have been sober for 4 months and still going strong it’s also been 4 months since I stopped smoking weed my health is more important and I want to live longer I also stopped hanging around people who still drink and smoke so I won’t fall back into temptation you have to change people places and things if you want to see change
No drink or drugs 970 days. Never looked back. God willing I’ll stay this way
I had to give it up. 30 years of heavy drinking can take a serious toll on the vital organs. Thanks Warren G for talking about it.
5 years clean and sober, I stopped smoking weed before I stopped drinking alcohol‼️.. My health is the most important thing that I have going on in life.. 3-4 days working out 1-2 hours, my next problem is I need to change my eating habits...
Yup, I'm 28 and I've been hospitalized three times because I struggle incredibly with alcohol. This last time I went essentially into shock and couldn't move because my body was shutting down due to poisoning my liver and no electrolytes in me. Got control very quickly this last trip and have been blessed greatly with what has come. I will be honest, I do drink when I go out still and with friends, but that needs to change all together in all honesty. Day by day and just so everyone knows my opinion, alcohol is the hardest drug to quit and the worst drug in existence
Props to Warren for him sharing this personal story. Props to all you grown men out there who are going through sobriety and putting your health 1st. Addiction is hard as fuck to overcome. I struggled with drug addiction for 14+ years. Alcoholism too but not as bad. Cancer sticks too. I have over 16 yrs clean & completely gave it all up. Haven’t had a drink in 2 yrs and stop smoking them cancer sticks in 15 yrs. It ain’t easy but it’s all possible. My kids and their mom is my motivation. I ultimately do it for me. When you love your life and freedom, it can be achieved. Props to all of you.
I needed to hear this.. thank you
Same here
He’ll yeah Warren!
More of us need health awareness.
I've been drinking since a teenager and thought I would never quite.
I went cold turkey it's been over a month. I feel great sleep better, more energy, losing weight and my mood has improved.
I've decided a glass of champagne on very special occasions is the limit.
If you're on the fence just stop you can do it!
I haven’t had a drink on on over 5 5 1/2 years. My life has changed for the better mentally and physically!!! ❤❤❤Best decision I ever made.
I’m around the same age as Warren G and give major props to him for this interview and honesty.
I'm around Warren age also I stop smoking and drinking in the early 90s after I had a very serious car accident, that was it for me.
Was an alcoholic for years, months sober now. I'm better, but still some health challenges and honestly surprised I'm alive. 2 things: Change your routine to where drinking isn't part of your life. I started working out again, slowly and not too hard to where you're okay to come back the next day. 2nd; Realize that the truth is that there is NOTHING good from drinking alcohol. Truth is it's a poison and it's holding you back from doing better in EVERYTHING in your life.

Can’t sleep, get the shakes, mood is irritated, can’t focus cause i want a drink, cant sit still, hands shake etc. I am 3 days without alcohol and i really don’t want to drink anymore.
Have your vital signs checked if you don't mind me suggesting

Or never drink. If you gotta do it in specific ways don’t do it.

Getting off alcohol now due to high bp. I can cold turkey it but doctor said to wean off of it or else it could cause severe withdrawls. Having a glass of wine rn and thats it. Prayers to everybody on this journey and if you have any input pls let me know. We got this🙏🏾💯
These conversations are so important especially from these generations of rappers who have been dying far too young.
Shot out to Warren G for sharing this ! We all probably need to drink more water, exercise, use herbs and cut back or stop drinking alcohol.
I love to see/ hear this of ppl choosing to live and treat the body right! 🙏🏾 congrats to all who are choosing to enjoy life without alcohol gassing ya up ❤ it’s not easy but well worth it… I pray you all continue to stay on a healthy journey 🙏🏾

We did so much drinking from a young age (teenagers) up into our mid-late 40s. We didn’t realize how much damage it was doing to our bodies.
Alcohol and cigarettes literally have no benefit for the human body whatsoever. NEVER touch cigs and if you do happen to drink just drink a little. You don’t need to drink until you’re seeing double or can’t walk. Just have a drink, once you feel the buzz stop and then sip water (slowly) the rest of the night….
@ reread what I wrote 😂
@@check2000 cool story bro, the best
I stopped drinking 15 years ago…and I just quit cigarettes 4 months ago. I wish I quit cigarettes a lot sooner but I was holding on
@ I’m sure it’s not easy, hope you stay on the right path 💪🏿
Most people are followers... That's why they started drinking poison and smoking cigs in the first place.
I try to only drink once or twice a week and not over do it. I’m 33 yrs old. All about balance.
That's the strategy for me. I've noticed if I don't drink for several weeks, and then I have a couple beers or scotch, I get so excited to have them and it's satisfying. If you drink them all the time it just becomes a drinking problem.

drinking is not the issue the problem is how much and how often you drink thats why everything has to be done in moderation and im living proof of that im a drinker with a clean bill of health all praises to the most high God!!
I just turned 45 on November 3rd! And I have done so lifestyle changes I feel so much better. I am still myself but I’m a little more health concision I want to kick it with my future grandkids and listen to warren G and all the west coast legends and reminisce like a gangster!!! Much respect homeboy keep it up !!!!
I just turned 46 on November 4th, and I would drink a glass of wine every week. I go to the gym 3 to 4 days a week, and I feel great. Health is wealth.
People don’t realize they have a problem until its too late. Too many end up with permanent problems when they should have stopped and started rehabbing in their 20s or 30s
This popped on my timeline. I never question the reason, maybe GOD wants me to provide wisdom/my experience. I had a non-alcoholic fatty liver which comes from junk food(sugar, fast food, etc.) I didn’t understand why my stomach was big since I’ve always had a small/slim frame body. After my diagnosis, I learned about drinking lemon water(putting lemon slices in room temperature water). It helped, tremendously, for a healthy liver and flat tummy. Also, to eliminate mucus from the body, I drink lime water(key lime slices in r-t water), every morning. Drinking alcoholic beverages or not drinking alcoholic beverages you can still have health issues but always seek medical help. Thanks.
I’m seriously working on it now!! Going on 10days now.
Good job, you got this💯
Same here.. 14 day's
10 days tomorrow. I feel like the chains are finally being broken off me. I feel free. God is good. ❤

This is the type of stuff I want to hear from celebrities
People numb themselves with alcohol and drugs because of feeling miserable being their normal selves its a mind thing but once you get addicted you become dependent find another hobby🤷🏾♂️ before adult hood everybody was kids enjoying themselves normally accordingly thru outlets of other things to be involved with joyfully but as we age we get turn onto mentally impaired addictions dependency which train our mind thinking its substances we need to feel better within ourselves It's A Trick A Mind Thing SOBRIETY! 🙌🏾 GET TURN ON YA GET TURN OUT🤔
People should go visit ERs and nursing homes and rehabs to see the effects of that addiction. Many in the last two are them in a few years if they are lucky
Thank you Kev, asking great questions. We need to hear this shit.
Im 37. I started drinking alcohol later than most, at 25. Yes, I had some good times but thankfully I learned I really don't need it. Its too expensive, no health benefits whatsoever, its poisonous and I realize I can absolutely have fun sober.
Yeh we are programmed to drink from young from our parents, tv adverts, social media etc in Uk if you don’t drink your like an alien 👽 😂best buzz is go to a rave or festival sober 💪🏽

Dude has always been humble since day 1 & in the music business which says a lot about his character. Loads of respect for Warren G 100%
34 months sober. I stopped because I’ve been living with 1 kidney since being shot at 20. Kinda like Warren, I celebrated my birthday weekend and knew I was done after that. I remember that pain he’s talking about as well. No coffee either. The acidity and caffeine is no good for the kidney or liver. I don’t crave liquor at all. I loved IPA’s and tequila. I’ll be 52 in December and i still have 2 children that aren’t grown. I raise them so I gots to be here.
This is spot-on concerning the effects that not only alcohol has on our bodies. But the American diet is ladened w/tons of sugar, salt, fat, and processed foods. If we don't take back our temples and feed our kids good, wholesome, natural, unprocessed food, obesity and disease rates are going to continue to keep us sick and addicted. Kudos to Warren G. for staying on top of his health, being honest with his Doctor, and most importantly REGULATING his diet/advice.😉💙👍🏾

Congratulations, man. I have over a year and a half without alcohol and It's enlightening. I've been freestyle and writing rhymes for 22 years, and I'm a good lyricist, but I'm even better without alcohol and I don't like how alcohol is promoted in rap or hip hop when it just leads to our people going to jail or prison.
Drinking is extremely bad for your health especially your looks.
Drinking in excess is bad long term but drinking beer in a controlled balanced manner can actually have some benefits for your health.
What if u drink pretty much only at nite pretty much every nite but it's only 1-2 16oz 12% drinks(similar to mikes harder,smirnoff) but 12% and my intake or desire 4 more has not increased over time nor do I crave it any other time except at nite
@ckack1372 Yea I see what u mean cause I like to have a beer usually while I'm in the process of cooking up a meal it could be a 24 oz or a 40 ounce but it's just something that I like to do while in the process of cooking up a nighttime meal and it doesn't really seem to go beyond that.
@@ckack1372that’s still bad ….i know it’s not what we wanna hear but a small drink everyday adds up and becomes a bigger problem. We have to be honest with ourselves. I just recently quit pot after 31 years. We all know what we’re supposed to be doing.

Hey, I know you're struggling with drinking, and I just want to say that if you want to quit, you can do it. I'm on day 78 of sobriety, and it's been the best decision I've ever made.
Fellas take your health seriously The money doesn't mean anything if you're in the grave I don't think I can completely stop drinking alcohol but I've cut my consumption of spirits down to maybe once a week and if I have anything it's usually wine
