Today is day 7 for me. It's been 5 years since I even went a day without. It's been a week! I'm being gentle with myself but I'm really happy I just discovered your videos...like a gift from the universe to help me out. I'm doing great and looking forward to the future. Thank you 🧡
Good on you Brandie just think of it as time wasted if you go back on the drink that is how I thought of it and after a month you will find it so much easier. 🙂
Thanks for the positive encouragement, I appreciate it so much, I've made it past the 30 day mark. I'm learning a lot about myself, think about things I havent thought about in a long time, remembering people and things I've forgotten all about and have been working through alot of strange emotions. I feel so strong. I feel so clear. I feel so good. 🧡
@@brandieallen9794 Interesting fact about 30 days - There is no trace of alcohol in your system...It is not in your body even in trace levels. The physical dependence cant be there anymore. Gratz! Now its off to the mental part of it. Big BIG Milestone
This Thursday is my 1 month mark Kevin. Follow your videos and advice. Feeling good in many ways and feeling proud of myself. 🙏thanks for your help Kevin
Best I did over the past few years was a 2 month abstinence from alcohol. Was pretty happy about that, definitely felt better. But yep, one day I picked up 'just one beer' from the market, and from there on it was downhill again. I do take breaks still but for me total abstinence is the goal because alcohol is not my friend.
Yeah..YEARS I've wasted and countless £££ on they "just one beer" time's in my life. I could be driving a Mazerati now instead of a Ford Focus if I got the money back from what I soent on night out/in. I'm a week in now..don't plan on going back. Had to cut a few friends out but it's been needed for a long time. All the best to you.
Just completed 6 years without alcohol I will be 66 in 2 months time to be honest I found it was being a boring habit never got drunk a lot but became a routine good luck everyone
Thanks Kevin! I quit for three years but started drinking again November 2019 I never really get drunk but I tend to drink anywhere from two to six beers almost everyday. Right back where I started before I quit. Looking forward to being alcohol-free again. On day 4 for right now but I think the experience I had from the last time I quit will help me. Adding in a fitness schedule and feeling confident overall. Alcohol sucks!
I wish you best on round 2! After 3 years I think I could see how you could forget the problems it causes but it I think they come back into view fairly quickly.
73 days dry😩😩 This is tougher than i expected! Hope it starts getting easier soon, and i do mean soon! Different stages i guess. A 45 year habit is hard to break!
I gave up New Years eve. We are now into February and I could not agree more with the points raised here. I sleep better and think clearer and am slowly getting energy back. I should be really fed up because I am out of work at the moment due to redundancy but I am not. I am very hopeful and like he sadi thinking clearer about what the possibilities are. I cannot believe how much alcohol held me back and never want to touch another drop. 39 years a functioning alcoholic but I honestly feel those days are done. I am still going to listen to these vlogs though because you can never really say never and I will take all teh encouragement and wisdom I can to stay sober. Thanks for your work
Great video mate. I'm into my 6th week alcohol free. In the past I have gone without for weeks/months, but it was always my intention to return to drinking, and so I did, with no real gain. And now, I really don't want it to be part of my life anymore. I'm going through difficulties at work and not being able to sleep much due to my young family, (up in the night, responsibilities in the morning etc), and although this is dragging me down, I know it won't last forever. I keep telling myself 'thank god I'm not dealing with hangovers and drink related anxiety whilst dealing with this!'. Things will change. I am proud of the new direction I have taken. And I am strong enough to be myself, to find new ways, to manage friendships traditionally centred around alcohol at social events, and most importantly to really back myself that this is what I want to do with my life.
Thank You for sharing. I'm on Day 10 and in your class. Anyone thinking to quit alcohol try Kevin's course for a month. It's cheaper than alcohol. I've gotten sober with Kevin's help. Just go through the prep work for free. It's totally worth it.
Take your multivitamins and amino acids people, big time gamechanger! Take em until you're eating a well balanced diet with plenty of protein. Thanks for your videos mate, you're doing the great work, god bless!
One thing I can't remember is that you say if you fall off the wagon do not stop I ain't going to try until I stop thanks for the good encouragement and great message today 😷👋
I decided to enter the new year without alcohol in my system, and putting the first week or so to one side, it has been transformational. The quality of sleep, and lack of anxiety alone would make it worthwhile but I am also beginning to observe myself in the present moment. Excellent video by the way.
Thank you Kevin, now 34 days, mixed feelings but i find my prana, life power/ force back in some seconds, sometimes minutes. It feels amazing. and later feeling tired. etc, but i keep on pushing forward, my training gets better and better and i even get ideas to start giving martial arts lessons again! Thanks Kevin for what you do.
I quit caffeine sugar meat alcohol ( Daniel's fast) and I feel so good. I think I will only add the coffee and meat back in my diet. I don't crave alcohol at all right now
So glad i found your channel. After many attempts of trying to stop alcohol addiction i feel more confident in myself, and I am looking forward to starting this program. Thank you again.
I am a recovering alcoholic 315 days. I noticed that after 2 weeks in treatment I was able to start to feel feelings of happiness and clarity for the first time. After 30 days of treatment upon coming out it was difficult to set a new routine, especially not drinking when I got off of work. I ridiculously believed for a long time that drinking after work was actually what kept me sane because "it decompressed me." I actually found out that it was a lie, come to find out that my general anxiety was massively reduced absent alcohol. There were a lot of tools that I used to get stable such as the medication vivitrol, anti depressant and anti anxiety medication especially Trazadone which helps me sleep well at night. AA, Big Book study, and therapy. I noticed that putting all those tools to work and spending my first 30 days in treatment made me be able to not white nuckel it. The previous 2 times I went to treatment I immediately started drinking again because I had not set up a plan to keep those tools after I was out.
Day 1 i have a headache and cant sleep. I usually drink about a gallon or so each night. I also quit smoking marijuana 2 days ago. Opiate and speed free for +- 6 years. Better decisions leading to better decisions.
Got to day 5 and then wanted to celebrate with a 🍸. Twelfth time of day 1. I will get there one day I hope. The lack of sleep and feelings of emptiness keeps me going back. Thanks for this...I will listen to this everyday until I get to a month. Thank you x
Hi Kevin mate,long time. I am still on red wine goes ages...can you comment on having drinking 1 bottle and having another one 0.75 x%13 and you conside that is too little at 2pm
I have found that I have trouble paying attention to detail. I get scared sometimes using power tools. I want to regain my competence but it takes longer than when I was younger.
Aivars, ļoti iespaidīgs rezultāts - vairāk kā gadu nedzert ir ļoti apsveicami. Manuprāt, reizēm ir jāpieņem fakts, ka sanāks iedzert. Galvenais, ka Jūs zināt, kādu ceļu esat sev izvēlējies un gājis, tāpēc atkal atgriezties pie skaidrās dzīves bez alkohola būs vieglāk un ērtāk. Nepārdzīvojiet. Bet varbūt labāk pārdzīvojiet, pieņemiet šo pieredzi, mācaties no tas un turpināt savu ceļojumu, ka arī iesaka šis brīnišķīgais cilvēks. Es skatos vēl video no dāmas kas saucas Annie Grace, viņai grāmata This Ansels Mind un viņa reizēm atbild uz jautājumiem, ļoti paplašināti pie tam. Pameklējiet, ja ir interese bet no viņas teiktā es sapratu ka būs Ok, ja vien mēs turpinam atgriezties pie atzinās ka tomēr gribam dzīvot be indes.
Hi there! Firstly what was it that made you start back drinking!? Was it one of those I’ll be fine just this weekend and I can stop, it’s only a weekend!? Or was it something that pissed you off? Or maybe you just wanted a drink! I don’t want to go on just incase I have got it all wrong😑 … if I’m right just message me here and I could maybe help. 💜 xx
Rachel, it was everything you mentioned. Two days ago I was in AA meeting in Rīga. I had so much discomfort(both physical and mental) that I didn't even stay till the end of the meeting. It seemed to me that I NEED SOME DRINK. It was cravings and self delusional thoughts together. I thought- I can drink this one more time. It ended with 1,5 litres of vodka in my throat, my girlfriend wants to dump me(because she hates seeing me drunk, although I was never aggressive or unfaithful). I love her and for this moment the only thing that can keep me from drinking is the thought that I can still save this relationship:(

Great job, it gets better and easier. After a month the chemicals in your body start getting back to normal, which is great!
Keep going Jim
Congrats Jim. You should feel proud
Good on you Jim and for another way of helping yourself take a look at my comment a few comments ahead of you.😊
You are doing it Jim! Excellent.

"Your sleep won't impover night "
Haha that made me laugh
Don't claim that you meant to say it 🤣
Its day 44 of 🚫🍻 for me
Nice my joiner
I am 3 weeks of alcohol, no desire to drink but my mental health is shit at the minute,
I concurr, at 18 days sober,at least today my head is a mess. Will get through this day sober
I still have very negative feelings about how people treated me when I was drinking and about how they tried to make me feel like trash
Hi Kevin I'm wondering when the 100 days of videos ends, so I know when to sign on for the monthly do it yourself support? 😊
The monthly ends in March Letitia :)
@@HabitsV2 okay thank you.
Got to day 5 and then wanted to celebrate with a 🍸. Twelfth time of day 1. I will get there one day I hope. The lack of sleep and feelings of emptiness keeps me going back. Thanks for this...I will listen to this everyday until I get to a month. Thank you x

Hi Kevin mate,long time.
I am still on red wine goes ages...can you comment on having drinking 1 bottle and having another one 0.75 x%13 and you conside that is too little at 2pm
I have found that I have trouble paying attention to detail. I get scared sometimes using power tools. I want to regain my competence but it takes longer than when I was younger.
20 days sober.
I'm bad with anxiety cant settle
Kevin, what could you suggest me? I was sober for 382 days. But relapsed. No drinking for 10 already and feeling awful but can't stop
Keep going not drinking and do what you did before.

Hi there!
Firstly what was it that made you start back drinking!?
Was it one of those I’ll be fine just this weekend and I can stop, it’s only a weekend!?
Or was it something that pissed you off?
Or maybe you just wanted a drink!
I don’t want to go on just incase I have got it all wrong😑 … if I’m right just message me here and I could maybe help. 💜 xx

No support, and nothing but problems.
its def a solo journey. Buck up cowgirl!
Support is out there it’s finding someone you can trust especially if you are hiding it.
You are definitely right with the backlog of problems!
@@Rachela_xx No, not so much hiding. I just live with a responsible drinker. He works hard and when he gets off work he likes to have 2 beers.
