99 percent is amazing! I doubt that you receive that much agreement on some of the more ... questionable Iceland products. The key point here - probably the only point, tbh - is that you're feeling happier, you feel better about your family life and that other people recognise that parts of their journey mirror yours, so that they feel less alone in dealing with their issues. I appreciate what you're doing there, and I can see the benefits it's bringing you and your family. ❤ But if the entire channel were to turn into a string of adverts for Prohibition ... I might be slightly less inclined to watch! 😏
If someone lacks the intelligence to just not watch what they don’t like, then there’s no helping them buddy. Some sad people just can’t see beyond being negative 24/7. BUT, we don’t know what demons they’re fighting themselves.
Gaz, It's YOUR channel. You make the videos you want to make. It's worked fine so far. Do your food videos and throw in your journey when ever you want. We are here with you this journey. It wouldn't be fair to us not having updates. Your craft is your food reviews... your gift is helping other escape the hold of alcohol by showing them it can be done!
64 days! Good lad. Every man has but one war- the darkness! You’ve recognised your darkness- and you’re fighting well Gaz. Don’t quit- you’re stronger than you think. All the best.
I’ve never had a drink problem, but I know how destructive it can be for the person and their family. Keep sharing your journey to inspire those who are also trying to quit. You’re doing amazingly.
You are what you eat. I moved to Portugal 13 years ago. The diet has worked wonders for my health. Good on you both for taking your health into your own hands. 🙂
Respect for giving up the alcohol. I drink, I'm actually a homebrewer and amateur beer historian, but I doff my cap to those who have had enough. That said, I've cut down massively on how much I drink. Drinking is fine if controlled. Also please don't stop going in pubs and supporting your local. Pubs are shutting at an increasing rate around the country for many reasons. Landlords and Landladies work long hours to provide us with companionship and entertainment. They are a cornerstone to many communities and part of British culture. Many pubs will have a darts team or a pool team you can join, quiz nights, karaoke and band nights and they need patronage to survive. Pubs don't only sell alcohol, they also serve tea, coffee and soft drinks. 0% beers and wines are available in some and its growing. Please continue to support the pubs or we will lose them.
Hi Gareth, Absolutely, please keep making these videos of your journey! They are incredibly interesting and enlightening, and I truly appreciate you sharing your experiences with us. Your content not only offers a unique perspective but also brings us along on your new ventures in such an endearing way. I also want to mention how much we enjoy your food videos-they're brilliant, as always! Your passion and thoroughness of each review shine through in every video you do. Looking forward to more of your incredible content! Cheers Gareth. TTFN. 👍
Do both Gareth. You're helping others with them. You're foodie ones are entertaining and often help us save money and as you've personally found out your progress to a healthier life is very inspiring to others to do the same . People who've never and possibly never will meet you in person feel as if they know you and you've motivated them to do something positive and believe me that is one amazing achievement. Take care friend.
I truly appreciate these videos and your honestly - that neighbour is right …you have truly helped so many … you just keep doing what you’re doing and to that 1%… jog on.. don’t watch … 99% of us love these videos. Hope you and your family have a lovely Sunday night xx
Yes please keep updating us on your journey Gareth, I've stopped and I'm 5 weeks in now and enjoy seeing how you are and what you get upto in the time you have spare
Amazing- don’t take that pressure on. you are doing amazing and yes you MUST do these videos, because you are doing so much good FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY - sorry to be in capital letter, this is your channel, no one else’s- so RUclips friend - head up shoulder back onwards, don’t look back, this is your journey and I for one completely support your👍
Glad to hear you're still doing well. I would love to hear how you're getting on, if this is kept going it will support lots of folk who need to know it's possible and beneficial.
I love seeing both the food and life updates, so id say keep it up especially if its motivating others to give up the booze and follow along with your journey
As someone who has seen someone ruin their career, through drinking, all I can say is your life will be so much better by not drinking. I know it’s not easy to quit drinking or smoking. But your health and family relationships will be so much better in the long term. Well done ❤❤❤
You’re doing well Gaz, and I always watch your vids. The 1 per cent can not bother and just watch the foodie stuff, nobody forces them to watch. Top man!
This is probably the most important thing you’ve done in your life. Just saw 2 followers saying here that you inspired them to stop. That……………is incredible. Don’t stop
Absolutely 100% keep these up. It's therapy and encouragement to us all. The food videos are brilliant but it's nice to see a personal update. God bless you Gareth 🙏
You have inspired me to try and quit the booze too. This is day 7 without any alcohol, I was drinking every day and especially so at weekends. Your journey has resonated with me, so I'm going to try and give up completely. Please keep these updates going Gareth, as they really do help. Thanks mate, for entertaining and also changing lives.
Thanks all. This weekend was hard The sunny weather, im usually getting tanked up in garden, I went through 2 bottles of ribena yesterday, but didnt cave, even though i was desperate for a beer. Like you say, 1 day at a time, thats how im trying to it. 👍
Hi Gareth, well spoken mate, I've quit myself and feel better thanks to you, it is important that you keep up the videos as a lot of people out there that love your channel, as much as I do, so yeah mate keep them coming, Cheers Mate 🎉🎉😊😊
No. Keep your journey live with stop drinking! You have inspired so many people! My target is the New Year. No smoking. And only drinking on a Sunday! Let’s hope I can keep to it! Just love your videos. You are real!
Gareth please continie. You are a breath of fresh air and we love hearing how you are doing. You are doing really well and using your words....... "Spot on" The 1% is just that. The rest of us love hearing from you. Thank you.
I want to point out the amazing positivity in all the comments. This channel is amazing and all of you are as well. To everyone fighting to get better, well done!! Keep on!!
Yes man!! Keep it up mate, I’ve had to stop drinking alcohol because I’ve got coronary heart disease and had 4 stents fitted so far with two more ops to come!. I was one of them that once you get a taste, you can’t stop until you’re smashed. I’ve stopped smoking for nearly a year and because of multiple medications ranging from heart stuff to mental health stuff, I’m not allowed to go anywhere near booze. Funnily enough though, I’ve had to cut down on sugar, that has been the HARDEST vice I’ve experienced ever!. Done though!. I know I’ve gone on but you do inspire loads of different drugs I.e Alcohol etc. Love ya Gaz!. Joel.
I haven't had the courage to knock the booze on the head completely yet, but your story definitely inspired me to cut down mate. Still a long way to go, but I'll get there! Carry on with the videos, they are inspirational.
YES! Keep doing these videos. They will ultimately help you and others who are on this journey, to keep accountable and remain focused! Whether others have decided to stop drinking or to change something else in their lives that was damaging their health and relationships, hearing how you are doing, keeping it real, is important. Your example is an encouragement! Thank you for taking the time to sit and say the few words that are needed each week!
. I’m not a drinker or a smoker, I was once a barmaid, in a working man’s club in the northeast. Put me off booze for life. By doing these videos, it’s giving you the chance to carry on motivating not only you but others. We all need some positivity in our life’s, it’s tough out there. Carry on and hopefully you will reach many more, in trouble, because they like a drink 🥰
You've done something really special in sharing your journey Gareth, as I and many others have commented before, and it is both inspiring and incredibly positive to see how it is truly changing lives. You are far too humble and modest to say that for yourself, so I'm saying it for you mate. Ignore the negativity, enjoy the positivity and the support of your appreciative followers. Keep doing what YOU feel is right mate, and stay strong. Well done Gareth! 👍
Yes keep doing the videos it’s bound to inspire others to try to give up, if some fail which will happen you just have to give it another go, never give up giving up. I have never had a problem with drink but have smoked since I was about 15 years old, I am now 71, and I finally gave up and haven’t had a cigarette for about 7 months. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve done. I would think the thought of missing the drink/cigarette is about the same, and never too far far away, it’s just about setting small goals to get to. Good luck to anyone who is trying to give up something.
Nothing like a clean gutter 😂 your doing so good... I lost my dad not long ago he had a drink problem. He kicked it and he was a totally different man for the second half of his life. He was and is my hero you keep talking to us if it reaches one person who needs help or inspiration its worth it.
Keep up the videos Gareth. I personally do not have a problem with drink but it is nice to follow and support you on your journey. ignore the 1% club, they belong with Lee Mack.
Hey there. Do what you want to do. If it makes you happy to do them that's the most important thing. I simply enjoy watching an honest, down to earth bloke who asks if I'm 'Spot On!' Thanks, dude.
Yes, please continue. It may help someone else who is struggling with alcohol addiction. They need to see that you can have a happy and better life without alcohol. I am 24 years sober, and my life has gotten so much better. I give God all the credit for that.
Please do keep making these videos. Thankfully I've never had a problem with drinking, never touch the stuff, but I am in total admiration of the decision you have made and the resolve that you are showing 👍👏 The fact that you are inspiring others is absolutely brilliant and we're proud of you for doing that. As bad as it was maybe that day you fell and got hurt needed to happen to help you, and others, get to a better place. Every cloud has a silver lining👍☺️
hi gareth hope you are keeping busy with your home maintenance trek if you are at a loose end i have plenty of work to due but this weather i am just lazing in the garden .keep on with your videos they are very much appreciated especially when you are on the chippy run. or visiting local butchers have a great week gareth keep well mate. wes
Gareth You're doing really well, and respect to your neighbour for his positive words. Remember this for the future: Sometimes despite our best efforts we take a fall. Should this happen then remember how well you've done in setting a marker and start again. Failure isn't a crime but giving up is criminal. Best wishes in continuing your journey.
Gaz, the 99% are behind you 100%, don't let the 1% bring you down. you are an inspiration to tens of thousands, that should put a smile on the old chops :)
Love watching your food reviews, a big part of that is down to you coming over as a thoroughly decent, genuine and amiable man. Keep up the good work and booze free life! With the booze thing, I was a binge man for years like you, now I don't binge anymore but I drink 4-5 beers a day every day or I feel anxious.
Gareth, it takes guts to be open and admit to having a problem and you should be very proud of yourself to own up about binge drinking, plus go as long as you have. I bet when you started to open up about your problem you had no idea that could inspire others to take the challenge. Having your neighbour come and share with you he too has stopped drinking, is all the encouragement you need to do the "Stop Drinking"videos. So, please ignore the moaning comments, they have a choice, DON'T WATCH" 👍
Early in my sobriety, a small percentage of people in recovery said things to me that I didn't like, and it felt personal. What I now know, is that small percentage wanted to see me get well, and begin the process of amending relationships, build trust, and in general, just start "showing up" in every aspect of my life. I'm not sure if I am a part of the 1% or not, but I guarantee you Gareth, we want to see you succeed! Not so much for the videos, but for YOU, your family, friends, business associates, etc. The English clergyman and poet, John Donne wrote "any mans death diminishes me". ("No man is an island") The great gifts of sobriety are many, and we want to see you embrace them all. ✌❤ Sincerely, Mark
Yep keep doing them at your set intervals. Good to see social media being used positively. At first when you mentioned doing the gutters, I expected you to say and here we are, I fell off the ladder as you show us your broken left ankle 😅
Yes, you should keep doing them. It’s your Channel, your life. Decide how often you want to do one. I.e once a month, once a fortnight etc. Do it for however long you feel the need.
Your doing a good job Gareth, keep doing the videos, unlike yourself and others on this journey I've not given up drinking but I've cut it in half through joining you ,so please keep them coming for 99% of us, many thanks pal.❤❤
Gareth ; That 1% is Nothing Short of Pure Jealousy of Your Strength and Positivity for wanting to turn you life around & doing good for Your Family & Yourself ! ! ! Keep Going Your Amazing
Keep these updates coming Gareth, I know I got to cut down on the old booze myself. I had a health check and they were more worried about my drinking than me smoking! I also enjoy your food reviews. Keep up the good work fella.
Keep up the good work Gareth, you are doing amazing. Please continue with the videos. I have avoided alcohol since you began as an act of solidarity with you.
Yo if you give up the videos i will give up you tube .You have done so well. And you're looking after your family that's more important than drinking please keep doing the videos. ❤❤😢😢😢😊😊
Carry on, mate. We're all invested in your journey and are thrilled to see how well you're doing. And, don't just post when things are going well - let us know when you're finding things difficult and you'll be amazed at how much support there is for you is out here. All the best!
I began watching your videos when you decided to stop 'binge drinking'. I have never been a drinker, because my dad was an alcoholic, however, I have been a binge eater. Anything done in excess is not good for us physically, emotionally or spiritually. Yes, please continue doing these videos!
People subscribed to your channel for food reviews, however look at the views, comments likes on this subject. I think you are doing the right thing and helping a lot of subscribers or at least making them think about life, thumbs up from me
You’ve helped to inspire me to quite drinking. I’ve gone from being stuck in a vicious circle drinking every evening out of habit to being exactly 1 month sober today. I found it hard for the first week but now I don’t think about it, I feel a lot happier now I’ve stopped drinking and it’s also made me realise that 1 I don’t need alcohol and 2 how much of a waste of money it is.
Hi Gareth as you very well no you always get negative arse holes , but you have inspired others to give up that demon drink up. So in my book you are doing a good thing. Yes i was a bindge drinker for more years than i care to remember thankfully come this January it will be three years being sober, Now drink doesn't bother me at all. Do keep up the good work you are doing Gareth. All the very best Tim 😊
Mate ignore the knobs. I've joined you on the journey since you said you were off the sauce and loads more of us are with you too. Those who snipe can get absolutely f****ed. My old man was a heavy drinker and it destroyed any relationship I could have had with him as I grew up. Now I am older and have my own kids I would sit down and talk to him but he has been in the ground 22 years now and its too late for us. Keep the videos coming of ALL kinds - I also enjoy seeing what rare delicacies you find to eat so i dont have to🤣
Most of would love you to carry on with these inspiring videos ,as you have your self ,you dont know how many people you have helped including myself ,take care stay strong and we are all behind you all the way
Well done Gareth. It must be good seeing someone face to face, hearing them talk to you. 1% of negative people don’t matter. We will always get them. Please keep us updated on your progress. I enjoy your food videos. But these updates are important as you can see. You’re helping yourself and others by supporting and encouraging each other. That’s all that matters. ❤
Your videos are inspirational to many people, I'm sure of that. I drink unhealthily - and I am following your videos as an inspiration to finally quit. But, that said, do not feel any 'obligation' or 'pressure' from your audience. You do what you need to do - and we will all support you - if you do have a wobble or two - then you get back on the wagon and carry on - we'll all be behind you. x
Yes please keep them going Gareth. If you can save 1 life, one family you are doing well. I am sure you are helping many more than 1. we love to see your smiling face, hear your humour. When you say I am not a cook I just crack up! Be strong for your family, please ignore the faceless criticism.
Please continue doing these videos. I don't drink myself, but come from a family were quite a few members had problems with alcohol. If you make even just one person reconsider their relationship with alcohol, it's worth it. Wishing you all the best in your endevour.
Keep them coming. It will help other people who joined the journey with you and it will keep you on track, knowing you’ll have to post updates on your progress, as it is still work in progress. 64 days and counting..WELL DONE xx
Hi mate your looking well. not drinking is doing you good ex army myself did duty in Belfast and Londonderry in the middle seventies now I am 67 now Retired just enjoying life Keeep it mate your doing fine 👍
I've been along this road and haven't had a drink for over 6 years. I think it's a good thing to have your videos it helps you and other people. United we stand, divided we fall. So let's stand united, thank you.
I feel it's important to carry on making these videos because of the community and support you and everyone else is giving to each other. Quitting anything is very very hard, but you are there for each other. 👍
I'll bet Gareth was brilliant with bedtime stories when his girls were four or five. He has the kind of voice that is so soothing and comforting to listen to.
Yeah Gary carry on with the off the booze video, your not only helping yourself but inspiring other people, it would be ashame if you came off the wagon 64days in..
I've been watching your videos for a while now. And I was quite shocked to hear that you have struggled with alcohol issues. I never would have guessed. Not at all! I've been an alcoholic for about 5 years now. Really bad with it. But it's been two years since I actually realised that it was an issue. It takes a lot of strength to talk about it the way you do. I love the videos about your sober journey even more than your food reviews. You're proving to me that it 'is' possible to change for the better. To live a better life. Keep going mate! Thank you for inspiring me to do the right thing! ❤
Yes continue doing the giving up alcohol videos, if it helps just one person to give up then it's worth it & if there are some folk who don't want them, well, they're not forced to watch them are they?
Ignore the 1%. 99% of us stand with you.
Cheers pal 👍 will do.
Carry on mate we am all behind you ,well done🎉🎉🎉
99 percent is amazing! I doubt that you receive that much agreement on some of the more ... questionable Iceland products.
The key point here - probably the only point, tbh - is that you're feeling happier, you feel better about your family life and that other people recognise that parts of their journey mirror yours, so that they feel less alone in dealing with their issues.
I appreciate what you're doing there, and I can see the benefits it's bringing you and your family.
❤
But if the entire channel were to turn into a string of adverts for Prohibition ... I might be slightly less inclined to watch!
😏
100% ❤
If someone lacks the intelligence to just not watch what they don’t like, then there’s no helping them buddy. Some sad people just can’t see beyond being negative 24/7. BUT, we don’t know what demons they’re fighting themselves.
Gaz, It's YOUR channel. You make the videos you want to make. It's worked fine so far. Do your food videos and throw in your journey when ever you want. We are here with you this journey. It wouldn't be fair to us not having updates. Your craft is your food reviews... your gift is helping other escape the hold of alcohol by showing them it can be done!
Thank you James
Yep spot on in everything you said James ! Your a legend Gareth keep up the good work and keep being you. That's why we're here !
Completely agree. Do want you want. If you do one..fine. If you don’t, fine as well. Do what you are comfortable doing.
Love watching all your video's keep it going 👌
We are all walking this road with you. Im sure the vast majority of people would shake your hand and say thank you and how proud everyone is of you.
64 days! Good lad.
Every man has but one war- the darkness!
You’ve recognised your darkness- and you’re fighting well Gaz.
Don’t quit- you’re stronger than you think.
All the best.
I’ve never had a drink problem, but I know how destructive it can be for the person and their family. Keep sharing your journey to inspire those who are also trying to quit. You’re doing amazingly.
PROUD OF YOU.... I Am 5 years clean, Do what ever videos you want to. we love them all
Well done
Yes carry on. I quite drinking at 27 years old and now I've just 52 and never looked back. Well done.

Yes please Gareth even though I don't drink its nice to see how your doing .
Yes man!! Keep it up mate, I’ve had to stop drinking alcohol because I’ve got coronary heart disease and had 4 stents fitted so far with two more ops to come!. I was one of them that once you get a taste, you can’t stop until you’re smashed.

I haven't had the courage to knock the booze on the head completely yet, but your story definitely inspired me to cut down mate. Still a long way to go, but I'll get there!
Carry on with the videos, they are inspirational.
If you can inspire just one person to quit the drink or seek help with it by posting a video then it surely is worth it! Keep up the great work mate!
Please continue doing these videos! My husband is 817 days sober today and he is so invested in & inspired by your journey!
Will do!! and well done to him
Gaz, I gave up the juice after your first video, Thank you for all you do, keep doing these video, it is motivation for many people, myself included
YES! Keep doing these videos. They will ultimately help you and others who are on this journey, to keep accountable and remain focused! Whether others have decided to stop drinking or to change something else in their lives that was damaging their health and relationships, hearing how you are doing, keeping it real, is important. Your example is an encouragement! Thank you for taking the time to sit and say the few words that are needed each week!
Thank you
we love all videos and you upfront and honestly we’re still behind and support you

Nothing like a clean gutter 😂 your doing so good... I lost my dad not long ago he had a drink problem. He kicked it and he was a totally different man for the second half of his life. He was and is my hero you keep talking to us if it reaches one person who needs help or inspiration its worth it.
Wife is happy lol 😂

Keep up the videos Gareth. I personally do not have a problem with drink but it is nice to follow and support you on your journey. ignore the 1% club, they belong with Lee Mack.
Hey there. Do what you want to do. If it makes you happy to do them that's the most important thing. I simply enjoy watching an honest, down to earth bloke who asks if I'm 'Spot On!' Thanks, dude.
You are doing so well and if you are helping others then carry on. ❤
Yes, please continue. It may help someone else who is struggling with alcohol addiction. They need to see that you can have a happy and better life without alcohol.
I am 24 years sober, and my life has gotten so much better. I give God all the credit for that.
Please do keep making these videos. Thankfully I've never had a problem with drinking, never touch the stuff, but I am in total admiration of the decision you have made and the resolve that you are showing 👍👏 The fact that you are inspiring others is absolutely brilliant and we're proud of you for doing that. As bad as it was maybe that day you fell and got hurt needed to happen to help you, and others, get to a better place. Every cloud has a silver lining👍☺️
Yes! Please continue. You’re helping lots of people and staying sober yourself. Thank you for doing this. 🙏
Thank you! Will do!

Cheers mate 👍
Gareth
You're doing really well, and respect to your neighbour for his positive words.
Remember this for the future: Sometimes despite our best efforts we take a fall. Should this happen then remember how well you've done in setting a marker and start again. Failure isn't a crime but giving up is criminal.
Best wishes in continuing your journey.
Lovely day in the Furness Peninsula... Definitely caught the sun today Gareth...🥵
Yes I'm hot now lol 😆
Gaz, the 99% are behind you 100%, don't let the 1% bring you down. you are an inspiration to tens of thousands, that should put a smile on the old chops :)
Changing lives for the better. Didn't see that coming did you? Continue? Your call.
Love watching your food reviews, a big part of that is down to you coming over as a thoroughly decent, genuine and amiable man. Keep up the good work and booze free life! With the booze thing, I was a binge man for years like you, now I don't binge anymore but I drink 4-5 beers a day every day or I feel anxious.
Good stuff
Gaz carry on with them ive personally not had a drink for over 7 years mate and feel better for it keep strong my man all the best the big scouse lad
Wow 64 days! You are doing fantastic. I’ve been sober for 6 years. Please keep doing these videos. You are helping so many ❤✌🏻🇨🇦
Thank you! Will do!
Gareth, it takes guts to be open and admit to having a problem and you should be very proud of yourself to own up about binge drinking, plus go as long as you have. I bet when you started to open up about your problem you had no idea that could inspire others to take the challenge. Having your neighbour come and share with you he too has stopped drinking, is all the encouragement you need to do the "Stop Drinking"videos. So, please ignore the moaning comments, they have a choice, DON'T WATCH" 👍
Spot on Sonia, well said!!! 👍
Early in my sobriety, a small percentage of people in recovery said things to me that I didn't like, and it felt personal. What I now know, is that small percentage wanted to see me get well, and begin the process of amending relationships, build trust, and in general, just start "showing up" in every aspect of my life.
I'm not sure if I am a part of the 1% or not, but I guarantee you Gareth, we want to see you succeed! Not so much for the videos, but for YOU, your family, friends, business associates, etc. The English clergyman and poet, John Donne wrote "any mans death diminishes me". ("No man is an island")
The great gifts of sobriety are many, and we want to see you embrace them all. ✌❤ Sincerely, Mark
Yep keep doing them at your set intervals. Good to see social media being used positively. At first when you mentioned doing the gutters, I expected you to say and here we are, I fell off the ladder as you show us your broken left ankle 😅
Continue making these videos ❤ it is SO important, that you let other strugglers know, that it is possible to quit and the support is out here ❤️🇩🇰🇩🇰
Thank you, I will
Yes, you should keep doing them. It’s your Channel, your life. Decide how often you want to do one. I.e once a month, once a fortnight etc. Do it for however long you feel the need.
Thanks yes just going with the flow
Your doing a good job Gareth, keep doing the videos, unlike yourself and others on this journey I've not given up drinking but I've cut it in half through joining you ,so please keep them coming for 99% of us, many thanks pal.❤❤
Thanks, will do!
Yep, continue.
Gareth ; That 1% is Nothing Short of Pure Jealousy of Your Strength and Positivity for wanting to turn you life around & doing good for Your Family & Yourself ! ! !
Keep Going Your Amazing
You're right mate. All the best pal
Keep these updates coming Gareth, I know I got to cut down on the old booze myself. I had a health check and they were more worried about my drinking than me smoking! I also enjoy your food reviews. Keep up the good work fella.
Cheers Paul will do pal 👍
Keep up the good work Gareth, you are doing amazing. Please continue with the videos. I have avoided alcohol since you began as an act of solidarity with you.
Will do mate good luck
Yo if you give up the videos i will give up you tube .You have done so well. And you're looking after your family that's more important than drinking please keep doing the videos. ❤❤😢😢😢😊😊
Take no notice of the few you must realise how many people are behind you and enjoy all your content. Well done.
I love all the videos you create Gareth. Maybe you have to start each video title with Food or Drink to let the 1% know when to wait for the next.😅
Carry on, mate. We're all invested in your journey and are thrilled to see how well you're doing. And, don't just post when things are going well - let us know when you're finding things difficult and you'll be amazed at how much support there is for you is out here. All the best!
Please continue. If you inspire even one more person each video then it's a job well done 👍🏻
I began watching your videos when you decided to stop 'binge drinking'. I have never been a drinker, because my dad was an alcoholic, however, I have been a binge eater. Anything done in excess is not good for us physically, emotionally or spiritually. Yes, please continue doing these videos!
Cheers Vec
People subscribed to your channel for food reviews, however look at the views, comments likes on this subject. I think you are doing the right thing and helping a lot of subscribers or at least making them think about life, thumbs up from me
You’ve helped to inspire me to quite drinking. I’ve gone from being stuck in a vicious circle
drinking every evening out of habit to being exactly 1 month sober today. I found it hard for the first week but now I don’t think about it, I feel a lot happier now I’ve stopped drinking and it’s also made me realise that 1 I don’t need alcohol and 2 how much of a waste of money it is.
Hi Gareth as you very well no you always get negative arse holes , but you have inspired others to give up that demon drink up. So in my book you are doing a good thing. Yes i was a bindge drinker for more years than i care to remember thankfully come this January it will be three years being sober, Now drink doesn't bother me at all. Do keep up the good work you are doing Gareth. All the very best Tim 😊
Mate ignore the knobs. I've joined you on the journey since you said you were off the sauce and loads more of us are with you too. Those who snipe can get absolutely f****ed. My old man was a heavy drinker and it destroyed any relationship I could have had with him as I grew up. Now I am older and have my own kids I would sit down and talk to him but he has been in the ground 22 years now and its too late for us.
Keep the videos coming of ALL kinds - I also enjoy seeing what rare delicacies you find to eat so i dont have to🤣
Personally I like the updates Gareth and might I say, well done you. Thanks for another interesting video 💜💜💜
Cheers Barbie
Please continue the videos Gaz, remember that 99% of us love them!!
Gareth, if you inspire just one more person to give up then that is more than enough justification to keep producing these videos.
Cheers Sly, yes you're right. Thank you
I love the plastic sword, LOLS. Yes, keep updating on your progress...it shows it can be done and keeps us all accountable. Keep at it brother ✊🏻
Most of would love you to carry on with these inspiring videos ,as you have your self ,you dont know how many people you have helped including myself ,take care stay strong and we are all behind you all the way
Anyone complaining is probably triggered to look at themself and they blame you for their own pain Gareth. That is a good service to mankind xx
Great video Gaz and definitely carry on doing the videos it will inspire others to pack in and that can only be a good thing 👍👍
Well done Gareth. It must be good seeing someone face to face, hearing them talk to you.
1% of negative people don’t matter. We will always get them.
Please keep us updated on your progress. I enjoy your food videos. But these updates are important as you can see. You’re helping yourself and others by supporting and encouraging each other. That’s all that matters. ❤
Thanks for that
I would say keep on keeping on. The videos inspire people so why not carry on making them? When you can see someone else's journey it helps.
Will do James ta mate 👍
@@BaldFoodieGuy No worries. We're all in this together.
Your videos are inspirational to many people, I'm sure of that. I drink unhealthily - and I am following your videos as an inspiration to finally quit. But, that said, do not feel any 'obligation' or 'pressure' from your audience. You do what you need to do - and we will all support you - if you do have a wobble or two - then you get back on the wagon and carry on - we'll all be behind you. x
Cheers Alan
Keep up the vid's mate.I stopped drinking, GF loves it!
Good to hear
Yes please keep them going Gareth. If you can save 1 life, one family you are doing well. I am sure you are helping many more than 1. we love to see your smiling face, hear your humour. When you say I am not a cook I just crack up! Be strong for your family, please ignore the faceless criticism.
That's the plan! Thanks 👍
Please continue, it's just fun and relaxing to see how you are doing👍
Please continue doing these videos. I don't drink myself, but come from a family were quite a few members had problems with alcohol. If you make even just one person reconsider their relationship with alcohol, it's worth it. Wishing you all the best in your endevour.
Nice to see you are doing well. 😎
Keep them coming. It will help other people who joined the journey with you and it will keep you on track, knowing you’ll have to post updates on your progress, as it is still work in progress. 64 days and counting..WELL DONE xx
That's the plan!
Hi mate your looking well. not drinking is doing you good
ex army myself did duty in Belfast and Londonderry in the middle seventies
now I am 67 now Retired just enjoying life
Keeep it mate your doing fine 👍
Cheers and respect mate. I got a friend who served over there.
I've been along this road and haven't had a drink for over 6 years. I think it's a good thing to have your videos it helps you and other people. United we stand, divided we fall. So let's stand united, thank you.
I feel it's important to carry on making these videos because of the community and support you and everyone else is giving to each other. Quitting anything is very very hard, but you are there for each other. 👍
Cheers Sarah
I'll bet Gareth was brilliant with bedtime stories when his girls were four or five. He has the kind of voice that is so soothing and comforting to listen to.
Yeah Gary carry on with the off the booze video, your not only helping yourself but inspiring other people, it would be ashame if you came off the wagon 64days in..
80 days booze free today
I've been watching your videos for a while now. And I was quite shocked to hear that you have struggled with alcohol issues. I never would have guessed. Not at all! I've been an alcoholic for about 5 years now. Really bad with it. But it's been two years since I actually realised that it was an issue. It takes a lot of strength to talk about it the way you do. I love the videos about your sober journey even more than your food reviews. You're proving to me that it 'is' possible to change for the better. To live a better life. Keep going mate! Thank you for inspiring me to do the right thing! ❤
Binge drinker mate, well I used to.
Its part of the continuing journey's 👍👍👍👍👍
Yes continue doing the giving up alcohol videos, if it helps just one person to give up then it's worth it & if there are some folk who don't want them, well, they're not forced to watch them are they?
I am fine, and 'Not Drinking today'.
Yes, on continuing videos. The positive impact you have on others is what counts. Stay strong in your journey.
Thank you
