Nice relaxing for Sunday, definitely better living health-wise? Thanks for the information both of you, have a nice day Meghan
Thank you! You too! ❤️🤗
Hi Meghan, another great video, thanks for sharing.
A little backstory on me, I was a heavy drinker for 45 years, got sober 4 1/2 years ago, best decision of my life. I have done a lot of research on what alcohol does to your body and brain. What shock me is as that alcohol is a carcinogen. Here’s what the World Health Organization (WHO) says
“ Alcohol is a toxic, psychoactive and dependence producing substance and has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research decades ago. This is the highest risk group which also includes asbestos, radiation and tobacco. No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health”.
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work.
It’s scary how awful it is on our bodies! Thank you so much for sharing this. Congrats on your sober journey. I’m sure you have quite the before experience 😇.
3 months sober today. Thanks for the podcast.😊
Congratulations 🎊 😊
Wonderful! 🥰
She tells it just like it is,Practicing this addiction sucks the life right out of us. Being sober opens up Everything. 😃 😊 ❤️.
There's lost there very well done Meghan❤ I imagine that he would be older, But you don't have to be old to be wise, That's what life is all about making changes and events in our health Good one Definitely nice video
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it 😁
I am struggling so hard right now.
Your videos are inspiring and lift me up. I want to be a good husband to my my wife and not drink anymore.
I hope I can continue inspiring you to stay strong. It’s hard. But you can do it, just stay positive and focused. ❤️
Fantastic video, this was thoroughly informative, Your guests' idiology on firness and life in general is similar to mine, especially where discipline and nutrition come in.
I would like to see more videos with broader topics like this one as we can all learn more and expand our horizons from others sharing their experience. Good questions as well, Meghan & good editing on this one, Johnathon .
I hope everyone received a little nugget or two of information from this interview to help them on their journey. 😊
Have a great day, everyone 😀
Thanks for always helping me with food for thought before these vids 😊🤗!
@@SoberstrongYou're welcome , I'm always glad to help out and offer my thoughts 😊
Good info Meghan. This gentleman has done well and talks well. Day 63 sober for me 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 lost about 5 kg so far
He’s a local celebrity 😉. He’s been on the local news several times about real estate
I love your channel so much Meghan. Helping with my own sobriety journey !
Awww thank you soo much!!! I’m glad you really enjoy it and it’s helping you😊🥰
Yes! I love what you're doing here, Megan.
Thanks a ton!!!
Thank you, for sharing👏
Thankyou all for another interesting listen. I have noticed that since i have stopped drinking (lager) my need for cake has increased immensely .Day one without cake begins.
That will happen!! But balance is key 😉. Keep up the good work
I agree on the diet! Definitely eat tons of eggs. The healthiest food on the planet. I eat meat based and eggs. I lift and spin bike 6 days a week. Low carb organic. I have done keto 10 years (natural) and lost and kept off 40 lbs. i fast until lunch every day. It’s easy and I eat a lot of calories. I am 5’8” and 130. I never go up more than 2/3 lbs in 10 years. I just quit social drinking which brought me here. Yes, sometimes I crave sugar and will cave for a dessert out once or twice a month. I don’t really care about alcohol but drank it because my friends did. 💪🏼I need to start the organ pills again…
Keto diet done successfully and correctly is a good for a lot of people I’m sure and it sounds like you have done it right! Way to go!! 💪🤩
What's worse for you salt or sugar ❓ very well done 💯 he seems to be a nice young man, definitely make some notes 🎶😉 red meat can definitely be good, protein 😁 and you're not as hungry later, 😋 not like Chinese food, you're hungry within 3 or 4 hours,,😋 no more buffets for me 😞 my doctor said don't stretch ,,,your stomach with food 😮 thank you very much have a nice Sunday 😀 your critic ❓🤔 ps don't forget church today thanks 🙏
Stretching our stomach with food is not good, I also need to fix my nutrition from the last week. I don’t I Ike Chinese food, but I love Thai food! Buffets can get ya in a food coma 😂 at least me. Thanks for watching and always having my back. You and James are always there’s defending me from afar 💪💪🤗😊❤️
I'm going to guess with salt? I'm probably wrong I love Chinese food and that's salty?
@@Anonymous-ez6cz I think it depends on everybody’s current health situations like some people can’t have sugar like some people can’t have salt, but they both are in literally every single thing.
@@Anonymous-ez6cz sugar is worse 😞 sugar has more negative effects on overall health, 🤕 diabetes number one in America's, high blood pressure, diabetes can be controlled, salt no medication just stay off it ❓ your critic ❓🤔🧐 PS less chips, lots of salt
Great interview👍
Thank you!
@@Soberstrong Certainly
I’m jealous that he doesn’t have what we have. He can take drinking or not. And never was grown into and therefore able to choose not to have it. But the good is I’m going to pack my gym bag and start using the gym at work. Take it easy at first of course. It’s been a while since working out, scared to see what damage I’ve done through the years. 😂
Let me know if you need help!!
Yeah, I agree, some people can socially drink, but for most of us one is never enough, and we were born into it and surrounded with it, our whole life so we didn’t know any different. It’s funny we used to think people like him not drinking were the outcasts but now we’re the ones not drinking and love how they never drink if that makes sense. 🥰
This was impressive, red meat is pretty good for us, Discipline can save, our health, steak can be expensive,, nice job thanks
So we meet again, 😄 is interesting 😁 according to the Bible we got to eat meat after Noah's day, after the flood (Genesis 9 verse,3 and 4), so Adam and Eve never ate any meat 🍖🥓? 😞 They must have been very healthy 😲 no cholesterol amazing, 😍 your critic ❓🤔🧐 PS red meat once a week,, fish everyday day
Thanks for watching! I’ve been seeing quite a few trainers dive into the red meat and the health benefits. I’m picky eater 😂, but I love a good steak! 🥩
Ok so God, chances, we can eat meat now, after Noah, his creation is very good, God said it the beginning,,, why the change?thanks
@@flamesoffire102 good question hard question ❓⁉️ I don't know if this is the answer, Genesis 8:22 at that time God changed, the weather ☁️ climate, now Noah and everybody would have ,cold winter ,summer and 🌱 fall 🍁, so instead of having two or three harvests in some countries (North), some areas only had one harvest 😉, so to make up, for the food 😁 God allowed us to eat meat, especially during the winter times, so if you think about it 😁 everything we and the animals eat, it's all from the ground, 🙏 your critic ❓🤔🧐 PS speculating 🤔
@@Soberstrong what's your favorite steak 🥩❓ you're a picky eater, thank you PS that's why I'm asking ❓
Great video ❤
Thank you!!
@Megz2.0 I'm at 82 days this go around and at times I have Strong cravings for Alcohol. Otherwise my life is Amazing 👏.
i find it to easy to slip back into alcohol; indeedwork on consistency.....the debate isopenon redmeat, except for it is rather costly.....fish is ok
It is easy to slip! With alcohol and nutrition
I still drink on occasions holidays maybe more but never overdoing it? That's basically what he's saying ? But when I do drink I Pig out I enjoyed the video
He rarely drinks, and I think one thing he realized when he did drink more is he did pig out, I did too 😂. Thanks for watching!
Not to be dramatic but if you don’t enjoy alcohol why would you say you drink with friends after a meal to enjoy it. Sounds a tad bit like BS to me. Where have you been Meg?
You are being dramatic, he's a nice guy, the bottom line, 😅 while having business meetings, he doesn't want to be rude 😞 I don't see no BS, 😁 your critic ❓🤔🧐 PS Meg's always been here
I don't think it's BS at all , he was in social settings where he was being polite and didn't want to draw attention to himself.
What's BS is your judgment that he is full of crap which is at tad arrogant and not cool on your part.
Also, Meghan is here 7 days a week every morning with a well-meaning community post
and interview video once a week, and she is also raising a family and working in real estate.
Meghan is a busy lady.
He’s a very nice guy, and I’ve done two social event a with him for our clients, and I don’t think he had a drink that social gathering. Pretty much he’s saying alcohol doesn’t control his life, he can never touch, but maybe once in awhile at a social gathering he’ll have scotch. If only everyone could learn this type of discipline, maybe the world would be healthier.
I’ve been dealing with a sick kid with a fever of 100-103 last few days. And having real estate going on. I myself have been sick too. Trying to do all the things gets hard sometimes. But I still am here 😊❤️
@Megz2.0 Well said Meghan, people also have to remember that RUclips is something you do, but you also have a life as well, I picked up a couple of things from your guest today, I learned that I have to switch up my exercise routine and eat more red meat, we are all here to learn an grow from each other which makes us stronger
I hope your little guy gets better soon.
@@Soberstrong I hope y’all feel better! I only asked where you’ve been because I missed your videos. As for the comment I made I’ll give you an example, I don’t like mayonnaise kinda like that gentleman said he doesn’t like alcohol. If someone offers me a sandwich that has mayonnaise on it I’m definitely not going to eat it because I don’t like mayo. If he doesn’t like alcohol and someone offers him something he doesn’t like my question is why punish yourself with something you don’t like instead of easily saying thanks but no thanks? Just an opinion not trying to start an issue. Have a wonderful Sunday!🌞
Noice...
Thanks!
