    When I go out to dinner with friends who drink i get bored with their conversation that is so repetitive . At times it is good and I can converse with them and have a good time but it gets a bit boring . I know what I rather be doing. Life has become much more fun and much busier since I stopped and its only been 95 days since i decided to be sober.

  • @JIMKATSANIDIS

    If you are suffering from boredom after getting sober, it can often come down to mindset.
    Having the correct mindset when you stop drinking makes a huge difference. We get bored when we stop drinking because our brain is missing that high which comes with any drug. I would rather be bored, than hungover, anxious, broke, embarrassed, in a police cell, in hospital, in a coffin. Always helpful tips Kevin! Thank you!👋❤👍

      @eb2354 10 месяцев назад +6

      JIMKATSANIDIS - I think the reason people get bored when they try to quit alcohol, is because they linked it as a fun activity and didnt have multiple things to do for fun, so once that's gone, their is a void and they don't know what to do.

    • @JIMKATSANIDIS
      @JIMKATSANIDIS 10 месяцев назад +6

      @@eb2354 Your comment makes sense. Also there is a false belief in the media, culture and our peers that alcohol is the best way to have fun, and therefore sobriety must be boring. At first, it can feel weird doing your favorite things without drink, but you have to try to keep doing them. Doing fun things sober quickly becomes your new normal. Have a great day!👋

    • @eb2354
      @eb2354 10 месяцев назад +1

      @JIMKATSANIDIS your 💯 percent right, alcohol is everywhere, ( even in airports ) Alcohol company's spend millions of dollars advertising in commercials and they show a bunch of BS of people laughing and having fun, you don't see the aftermath. The DUI'S, the car accident fatiltys, the bar fights, people sometimes kill each other when they're drunk. I read statistics that 3 million people die from alcohol related causes every year worldwide. That's insane!! but no one really pays attention to that...

    I will say I’ve had some crazy fun nights with alcohol, it took me places and I’ve meet so many great people through it, but at some point it just started to do the opposite. I started to stay at home, so I could just drink in my own company until I would pass out. So I’m thankful for all the fun I had, but just like my childhood, at some point it’s time to move on from the playground.

      Don't Beat yourself up 'ay , you"re on the right path . Ive only been able to do 21 days . Am up to 15 days this time . Last time a good friend gave me a beer when i was struggling with it and i drank for another 6 months . It's really wierd and sad how people want to drag us down , when they see we're climbing out of the quagmire . Instead of offering support. He actually wanted to see me fail.

    I loved this video. I have got better things to do than drink alcohol. I rather online music videos and other online videos than drink alcohol any day. I stopped drinking alcohol forever in 2010 and I don't miss it at all. I don't need any alcohol to have fun at all. I have lots of fun in my everyday life without drinking alcohol. I love living as sober lifestyle. I love living an alcohol free lifestyle. I will never give up my healthy and sober lifestyle for others. I rather spend time alone than spend it with drunks any day these days.

    Beyond the fact that you need to stop immediately if your are physically addicted. It is your life but if the gloom you feel of giving it up seems out of reach. I drank for 30 plus years and one day decided enough was enough. After around 5 months without alcohol in my life. Life did return to normal. For some it might take shorter or longer for the idea of drinking in that manner to pass. if you do stay the course of total "Abstinence" it will pass. Life without it will seem normal and you will look back at the way you were and laugh at how you could let yourself fall for that poison all that time. It will become easier and easier to let the thought of alcohol go with time. Good Luck to you if you have a problem. In this case with time it will heal.

    Absolutely. I understood this and it still took me 3 years to quit. Bc underneath this assumption, was my fear of depression.
    I got help. Kicked out the toxic people. Started meds. Never stopped listening to lightworkers. When I was bored or depressed or lonely, I'd come back here to RUclips. Every day until now.. I only search for these when someone else needs help. As a refresher to the truth. I dont take meds anymore and I'm happier than I've ever been. Thank you all so much ❤

    depression, apathy, boredom... after 10 months sober I start to see a faint light at the end of the tunnel... never again, not even a drop: alcohol has only brought me misfortunes and suffering that I wouldn't wish on anyone. It is a war with oneself: one must resist, one must win. Ni una gota más!

    I enjoyed watching the shadow creep down the mountain during the video. If you can’t imagine fun without alcohol you either had a bad childhood or forgot how much fun you had without alcohol. No reason you can’t have that same fun as an adult. The hardest part is the years, or in my case decades, of friendships where alcohol is virtually a requirement. “They’re sharing a drink they call loneliness but it’s better than drinking alone”. Billy Joel.

  • @jujumulligan43
    @jujumulligan43 10 месяцев назад +13

    Very good Kevin. I so greatly agree with the feeling of boredom as a call to look within your self. For me, I feel boredom comes hand and hand with restlessness. These emotions can be examined with quiet reflection and meditation/prayer. For once we are calm, we are better able to see that life can be fulfilling, simply by being still.

    The world is fcked with or without lol . You can get high on life oddly enough if try hard enough . I use to skateboard when I was young and I was high on life all the time until I started drinking and doing drugs . Use to do kungfu also , I use to feel so good about myself .Drinking destroys all those good parts of your brain that make you feel good . If you are new to drinking , please try give it a miss from me . Otherwise you are going to regret it later on in life just as I have . I use to think drinking was a cool thing bla bla bla , but later on in life I just realize its a real super shit habit that will just bring you down . But the reality is all ya do is piss others off and fck ya own life up .

    i stopped going to the local bar a year ago , if there's one thing that is very boring , thats is sitting in the pub talking rubbish and thinking it's fun. i have been drinking at home , and actually using the beer for energy and motivation to get work done at home , it's great for working on my boat . And for things that are not fun like working on the car or mowing the yard. But it's now time to leave it behind. i really want to experience life straight , cause i don't know what it's like , crazy hey.

    Kevin, i go back to the example you used in another video. Think about yourself in a white room, alone, sitting on a chair. If you were sitting there drinking alcohol, would it be any less boring? people enjoy their friends and environment when they're drinking - it's not the alcohol that makes it fun.
