One year, five months and twelve days Sober.
Never looking back🎉🎉🎉
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!❤❤❤
I have asked my wife not to tell others that I am sober. I asked her to tell others that I have quit drinking. Period. It just makes me feel what I want. To he disassociated feom the whole thing. Semantics, to be sure, but the difference between the two in my mind has a more positive and empowered effect. To say sober makes me feel more afflicted than I am or should he. Telling people that I quit puts the control back to me. And it branches out. I don't want to count days that I'm sober. To me it implies the possibility of failure. I definitely struggle with cravings and triggers, but to have quit puts it in the light of where I want to be. 🐱
Thanks for this man. I'm on day one at the minute, it's 9 in the evening....one more hour until the off-license closes (You cannot purchase alcohol after 10pm here in Ireland...thank god, I used to hate this law, tonight it's a god send). I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I plan on watching every one of your videos and take in your advice. I've struggled with addiction since my early teens and it evolved into a heroin/crack addiction for a little over 11 years. When I got sober from hard drugs I thought I could have a few beers every now and again, unfortunately as many addicts find, it's all or nothing and I started drinking every day and the amount I needed to black out was steadily increasing. I have just about been functioning with the drink, after my last sentence I stayed clean, got in touch and built an amazing bond with my daughter who I met when she was 5, enrolled in my dream course in college, got a side hustle for a little bit of extra cash and started pursuing my passions. Bit by bit I started slacking because of the drink but still maintained my life. Because I was waking up in bits I started using gear again, just a slip once a week I told myself but I know it doesn't work like that so I'm making a stand and giving myself the life I deserve and the father my little girl needs. Thank you so much for this message
🙏 Onward and upward my friend.
Good luck with you good choices and your new life
I’m 52 days in. Your videos inspire me. I am going away with my wife for 4 days to Spain on Sunday. My first sober holiday. I am feeling good about this.. Thankyou for your support.
I've been sober 1yr, I do not miss the shits & shakes, in the bed unable to move, coughing & throwing up, wicked hangovers,all for what? A goofy drunk feeling?? No way, no more. Im clean and strong the way God intended me. I go to the gym and eat right, I feel like a Greek God. Alcohol can go to hell
God that was good to hear amen brother
@@DavidLee-vp7tg over 1,000 days sober, dont miss it. You can do it too, just have to make up your mind and then take baby steps
It`s so true.... you start to believe in your capability to solve your problems and deal with all sorts of situations in your life after you`ve stopped at least for 8 days
Did this, went vegan and felt amazing, started to help others by spreading the vegan message. Stopping alcohol is just the first rung of the ladder - keep climbing
Coming up on 6 Months sober from Alcohol. Cravings are starting to act up again out of nowhere. Hoping to fight through it.
I’m 6.5 months sober and I also started having mental cravings leading up to 6 months. I think it’s psychological because 6 months is somewhat a “milestone”. But today, for example I’ve never felt so lucid, calm, myself! Keep thinking 2 months down the road if you return to alcohol. Keep thinking of how bad it was and will be again if you restart.
@@WheresBillie104 Thank you for the positive feedback. I definitely don’t want to head back down that road.
@@WheresBillie104 one day at a time
@@WheresBillie104 stay Strong no matter what
Brother. You've invested in yourself, your future. Tell the cravings to eff off. It's your life bro. You get too decide. Not the cravings. Not the emotions. You are in charge 👍
So right. Association is huge. I’m now moving from sober to normal 👍
Its amazing. You are above all of the addicts. You are king. You are much much stronger than anybody else. You have balls like most dont. Now I do focus only on one thing - what will I do with the gift of my left life. 3 years and never ever looked back. For me it was like I swiched off the light in one ugly room. No way I want to go back. That room stays shut and now I almost forgot about its existence. Thank you Kevin.
The key to me stopping for good was knowing if I had another drink I would start again. Several times I'd stopped for 3 or 4 months in the hope I could moderate. I was just kidding myself. It's good I can't moderate. I'm finished with alcohol. Some great points in this video. Especially the stuff about self efficacy.
Glad to help Matthew
I am right there with you....I quit many times with the idea of "take a break and start in moderation".....and it didn't work. I am 50 days sober now knowing not to start again as I am not a social drinker but a binge drinker.
@@cspragg318 good luck. I stopped 6 weeks ago. But this time it definitely feels different. I did all my drinking at home, never went to the pub. Anyways well done. I'd say we've got over the the worst part the first week. What a bad mood that put me in.
Way to go. Getting sober. You saved yourself
@@cspragg318 good luck. Stay Strong. Stay proud
I stopped drinking alcohol for 6 months once just to prove to myself that I could do it. I allowed myself to start back with the intentions of drinking moderately only on weekends. Big mistake! I started drinking more than before! Still 3 or 4 days out of the week I don't drink alcohol because I don't want it every day. Seriously thinking of quitting completely because I believe it would lead to a positive more productive life.
Moderation is torture and let's face it: if alcohol is poison, why try to figure out that "magic amount" that is okay, when the "magic amount" is none? William Porter, in his book Alcohol Explained, talks about why moderation is a myth you should just let go of. We can do it, my friend.
I did the same and since I stopped drink small amounts most days now - want to stop completely as I don’t need it
@@crispyduck1706 Right! More of a habit than a need for me. Whenever I grill steaks i automatically grab a beer. I really don't need it.
@@WildBill1911 go vegan .
Problem solved and happy Cows plus good Karma.
Win win win.
No 'e' on the end !
Just saying.
Kevin your channel is one of my favorites for encouraging sobriety, thank you! As a hiker and back country skier I appreciate the mountain scenery and hiking in your videos, which speaks of accomplishment and natural highs.
My "social life" (such as it was) is basically what keeps me drinking. Yes...I crave at home sometimes and do give in sometimes...but there are certain people who I know for a fact that I have to cut ties with. ..
I've decided to regard alcohol in the same way to smoking. You don't stop smoking for 6 months,feel better then start again! That's daft. I don't regard myself as an ex-smoker. I'm just me! I've stopped before,felt better, forgot why I stopped and started again. Ultimately I fell into the same pattern and found myself feeling the need to stop all over again. This time.... feels..... different. I really think I'm ready to move on and in doing so I feel I've started to take control over my life( in as much as anyone really can) I highly recommend stopping on your birthday! It gives you a target as well as a challenge. Can you make to your next birthday without a drink? I'm 48 and for the first time in a long time I'm actually looking forward to the future. Because it's a future in which I'll be a better man. Good luck to all of us on this journey.
Don’t wait. Quit now. If you have the right mindset you don’t need to wait an extra day. You can do it!!! Just give maximum motivation and you will have better health and more money! Start today! 💪🏻
Great video, where you been man,
Calling yourself sober thing was spot on, I’ve been thinking about that I’m started say I don’t drink now to people and myself
I’m 3 months today don’t drinking 😂
This is the best thing I’ve ever done. even tho the changes that I’m making can be tough and be a bit sad letting go of some friends and social activities
I know this is the thing I need to do 100%
Yep I never use the X amount of days Sober... " I dont Drink" is more positive an stern. I believe. I hate the x amount of days sober stuff personally. I say, well I havent drank in 1765 days
I wish I could step into your shoes man , churs for the video . My Mum said to me one day it's not what you say that matters it's your actions that count and she is 100 percent correct
100% correct. Actions towards the right ends, mate.
@@HabitsV2 ruclips.net/video/z-glmXC_ZtQ/видео.html thought this guy was rather interesting
@@HabitsV2 The thing is we all know what's right and wrong we sometimes just make bad choices I recon
@@mehDOGIESRATS2222 Yep. So long as you understand that it's a choice, you're always on the path to making the best ones. Even if the route involves making mistakes. You only really learn about yourself through your failures. Best of luck
@@HabitsV2 True that I learnt that through skateboarding years ago . Thanks man wise words
You can say A LOT with a few words! Thank you for being you!
Very helpful. About six weeks sober atm. Love the walking terrain/dogs.
I listen to a lot of people on this subject...but you are BY FAR the best Kev...it's real, honest and always just what I need to hear to try again...xx
Thank you for your words of wisdom. Every day I try to take care of an issue that I have been putting off. At first it was a mountain, but I've been very diligent and slowly it became manageable. All my friends are gone except for 3, they are Real Friends. Again Thank you...
Absolutely brilliant kevin.
Though I'm in the process of (very slowly) tapering, I've realised that I'm afraid of being clear-headed and sober - or perhaps more accurately, afraid of not having the relief and comfort that is alcohol to turn to each day. I think that I'm afraid of being without that psychological protection and defence.
You WILL be stronger without it. This is my experience. Being in control of yourself is amazing 👍
@@fatherburning358 Thank you - I needed that today.
@@TW-ps2cr 👍
Absolutely spot on everything you've expressed here. I've travelled back in time to this video. 11 months ago when you posted this video I was inside the absolute worst of my alcohol consumption. I didn't feel like life was worth living. Well now, my self efficacy is solid as a rock. I'm building a mountain. Thank you brother. You'll probably never see this comment but thankyou.
You’re still not using those A words. I like that though, some people tend to over use them. An old woman who is a regular at my meeting’s constantly says she can’t remember my name. I’m nice and remind her, then I forget to introduce myself before a daily reading last week and because they like hearing that word alcoholic so much she stops me and says “hey we didn’t hear your name.” So I apologized and said it, then reminded her “why do you even care you never remember it anyway?”
I let most of that nonsense roll right my shoulders. 117 days sober and I refuse to let the little shit get in the way of that now.
That slopes scary 😊
My values have changed for sure........not everyone is happy needless to say..
Im 61 i enjoy a few cold beers after work my father is 89 he still enjoys a few beers after retiring from work 24 years ago nobody lives forever
Thank you. It is a process. Your videos are helpful. God bless
Wow... Thanks love 😘
This is an amazing video. Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for your amazing videos Kevin they are so helpful, must say you looking incredibly healthy and very handsome
I want the old me back. I want my old body back. I was a dancer then became an alcoholic. I hate the new me. I want the old me back. It's so hard to....
You developed a drinking habit and that is common
Aim towards the new you...More realistic and open to possibility
@@HabitsV2 can you get back to the person that you were before you were an alcoholic? I was so much happier then.
@@WWStorm I can only speak for myself, I am way happier in the person I am now. I've learned so much from going through the journey to beyond sober. Yes, I was happy before I started drinking, but for me that was too long ago. I was a kid. It is what it is. We can't go backwards in life, only make the most of what we've got and keep pushing for ourselves. Best of luck with it
@@HabitsV2 thank you
I've completely messed up its been around 3 weeks now every night pissed.and now! I feel atrocious, I've had palpitations all day, I felt like I didn't want to move,my body is exhausted.... I can't believe how weak I've been, god knows the damage my body is in now, I won't last much longer if I don't stop this shit. Tomorrow I will get back to these videos,get out my diary from last time ( which I hid away) and start again... it's back to square fukin one, it'll be 3 weeks now til I feel ok.. FFS
Get back on the journey Tone.
Get back on the horse & don't be beating yourself up over it, pick yourself up & try again 🙏
Great videos. I love the area you are walking.
What region are you in?
Thanks
Andorra/Spain border.
How much do you walk a day? And have you lost weight.
Wish I could go on those walks with you hon 😊
Do you have a video where you're not hiking? No one feels like drinking in those scenerys.
There's 1500 videos on the channel. Do a search and you'll find plenty where I'm not hiking...
It's hard as I'm Irish and drinking is part of our culture ..
All world is infected by this poison. Don't call is a "culture", please.
Alcohol has been used to impose self control so people would agree with anything that is why. You can react. And also abnormal drinking will never be accepted by any society, it becomes been antisocial behaviour.
JESUS is the way he taught me
