I'm 70 now and can tell you all that most people who are my age and still drink have health problems. From bad arthritic joints to liver cancer to neuropathy, they're sitting and are too sedentary to live an active life. People my age who are active simply aren't drinkers. I'm grateful I simply lost interest in alcohol when I was in my 40s. Now I'm 70 and can do whatever I want.
I have a good friend who is suffering from liver disease and it’s the most painful thing I’ve ever witnessed. It made me take a good long look at alcohol again and I quit. He has a Utube Channel named Liver Disease.
Alcohol is the only hard drug where people argue for moderation. Despite it being social norm, not even one drink is good for you. Every reason why people drink is a myth. There is no benefit at all to even having a sip. You don't moderate fentanyl or meth that would be obviously ridiculous to try and argue. Society doesn't even argue to smoke a cigarette now and then anymore. Its known that just one is bad for you. Alcohol is a poisonous, addictive, hard drug and recognized as the second most addictive behind heroin.
I work with people who do moderation well. I can't do moderation so I actually avoid going to any social event where drinking is the norm. I drank for 35 years. I am 9 years sober. I was missing several days of work per month to waking up smelling like alcohol in the months leading up to me quitting. I like Phillip Seymore Hoffman's reply to the question about missing alcohol at social occasions. He was asked "Wouldn't it be nice to have a glass of wine with your dinner at a nice restaurant?". He said "I am not interested in having one glass of wine."
🫀🔥❤️🔥❤️🙏🤙 Awesome Zach. Yeah, it's true. I feel like I'm in a different dimension when I see others drink. I remember how I was. And I'm sad for them, like, embarrassed for them. But I used to do it so I can't judge it, like im stuck in a total Jesus moment.
Why I stopped drink is different from why I stay sober. I quit because I needed to help look after my then infant granddaughter. I stay sober - at least I have for nearly 3 years - because I need the energy and mental clarity to do creative work (novel writing and painting).
There are so many benefits to not drinking, it's insane. Yet.. when I think about the reasons to drink, they are very weak and flimsy. Is 20 or so minutes of pleasant fuzziness worth blowing a lot of $, being overweight/puffy/ruddy, having poor sleep, becoming surly and saying things I will regret the next day, setting a poor example for my 2 daughters etc.? Nope. Not even close. Do I really WANT to drink just so I fit in or don't get made fun of by drunks? Again. No, that is not a good enough reason for me to compromise my principles.
I'm four months sober after a 'normal' drinking life that I just thought was getting too common and too often. I feel so much clearer and clearly I am a better version if myself with no alcohol. I so enjoyed your thoughtful, accessible and kind manner of communicating. I don't imagine ever drinking again, in spite of the allure of a romantic reintroduction of a 30 year old scotch after defeating a Bond villain or a glass of champagne while bedding a Bond girl. I went deep into the chemistry of alcohol and now see the romance of alcohol as a clear trick we play on ourselves. Once again I appreciated your style of sharing- it was so refreshingly without guile and clearly heartfelt.
Moderation is the world’s greatest self con. You’re simultaneously telling yourself that you’re missing out on a great thing and trying to avoid that great thing. Just get used to the fact that alcohol is the worst way to get high and go find some other way like eat a mushroom or anything you have to do except drink that shit.
I was sober for about 20 years (93-2012). Decided one day I could probably handle a drink or two, can't even remember why. Two years later I was pretty miserable, just drinking to try to feel normal again. When I was drinking before, I was on a budget, but in 2012 I had a lot more disposable income. Luckily I was able to quit again before it destroyed my marriage or got me into trouble at work. What I learned about drinking after quitting was that hangovers were a lot worse and quitting again was a lot worse. Took quite a while before I truly felt normal again. Took even longer to feel trusted by my wife again. One thing that scares me a little is that if my wife were to ever die, the drinker in me might try to use it as an excuse to start drinking drink again. Luckily she is a bit younger than me and so will probably outlive me.
American here: Alcohol has been part of my life since 16 yrs old. In 2020, my best friend who also has been drinking alcohol since he was 16 told me that he needed to stop alcohol for 3 months for a prescription he had to take. The prescription wouldn't work properly with alcohol. I wouldn't let him go through that alone as we had similar disposition for alcohol. Hardest 3 months of my life. Surprise: It broke the chain for me wanting to drink daily. I still drink but it's not as much, not daily, not over doing it, maybe 1 time a week. The 3 month break was life changing. Something happened but I'm not sure how to describe it scientifically. Wondering if anyone else had a break, then broke the "had to have a drink"? Like I said, I can drink but not have to keep drinking more.
Same thing happened to me. I drank almost every day for years, then I had to stop for three months for medical reasons. It was like hitting some kind of mental re-set button. Now I rarely want a drink and if I do it's just one or two. It's no longer a habit, just an occasional treat. Taking a break, even a forced one, can be a very good thing.
I appreciate your thoughts on this subject. I'm a bit concerned because what I was hearing is that you've crossed a line away from social drinking, and may be suffering from alcoholism. Simply put, a mental obsession, followed by a physical compulsion, where one drink will never be enough. When a person decides he/she will only drink in a certain situation, and only one, that most often that does not hold. I say this as somebody who is a sober alcoholic for the past 47 years, one day at a time. I had my last drink when I was 26, and am now 74. Alcoholism is the most powerful drug on the planet, and it's a disease that tells you that you don't have a disease. More people die from alcoholism each year, than by all other drugs combined.
I admire your resolve and don’t mean to disrespect in any way, but I am interested to know why you still describe yourself as an alcoholic after 47 years with no alcohol.
It’s definitely a benefit not to drink! We all know our limits and weaknesses! I find absolutes extreme but if you are truly an alcoholic that would not be an option! Thank you for sharing your story! 🙏❤️
My motto is, "everything in moderation---- including moderation." Some things should be abstained from, full stop. Alcohol is on that list for me. Moderation is a siren song to a heavy drinker, but it is a false tune.
my x girlfriend is a alcoholic and now in recovery. i can tell you it’s dangerous as hell especially if you are drinking everyday. it didn’t take 6 years for her to become a chronic alcoholic. with it comes bad decisions and one can lose everything. i supported her but had to sail away in the end .
Thanks for being very frank and genuine. I've just relapsed over the last week and had to go to the hospital on Monday to get some help. I managed 3 months of sobriety but then fell down the trap of having that one drink. That one drink turned into 9 bottles of rum and vodka. My living room floor was littered with bottles. I'm so ashamed of myself. I've been micro dosing with vodka to keep the withdrawal at bay as the NHS will treat you initially with librium or diazepam only until your out of danger and then they recommend you wean yourself off yourself. I'm not going to give up giving up. Thanks for the video it's helped.
Don't worry about it, I'm glad you're well enough to write a comment and are watching videos on quitting. Well done. You did 3 months. Keep on trying, just speak your future into your present self, if it's never drinking again then say "I don't drink alcohol. I am healthy. I am fitter and better than I've ever been my whole life. I am loved. I am in control. I decide what I do. I control my life. I can't wait to wake up etc." Also, have you seen a psychotherapist or 3? I've had 3. Each one helped to show me a new perspective on things which caused my drinking.
@@Christine_Lawson Thanks Christine, yes I'm getting some help on the 30th. I'm seeing an organisation called Project 6 in Sheffield. They are mainly over 50s people who have been through some rough times with alcohol use disorder. Thanks for your reply and I wish you the best in your sobriety.
I'm 70 and have been bedeviled by a similar attraction to alcohol all my life, despite one 15-year stretch of sobriety ... extremely lucky I never got into any serious trouble (workwise etc), also had sufficient robust health to take the bodily punishment mostly in stride ... anyway as of three years ago I finally am done ... like you I had expended endless mental energy around controlling intake, but with age even doing so "successfully" brought less and less pleasure, till the weight gain and absolutely killer post-drinking depressions (both of which also very much worsen with age, esp the latter) combined to sever all my mental attractions to the stuff for good ... absolutely zero interest in it The last years of my drinking were largely solitary, but it seems yours still has a social element ... in any case the fundamental struggle is the same, and I wish you the best in quieting/resolving your own mental hamster-wheel with it ... your honesty is remarkable and can only help in getting you there
I'm on the same wavelength. Alcohol has good & bad aspects, but I've understood I can never be teetotal & don't want to be. For me, the word is moderation but never complete abstinence. Life is too short & alcohol does bring enjoyment & a sense of calm & well being. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I'm with you girl!!!
I absolutely agree with you! Alcohol can be a very pleasant addition to life and celebration! But it must be enjoyed in moderation with great responsibility. If an individual cannot do that better to just abstain!😊
Alcohol is a very slippy slope indeed. Never was in issue to me but then lockdown came and I got a habit basically out of boredom. I'm in my 50s and need to sort this out.
I quit for a year the longest I’ve ever quit before and it was great! On my birthday, which is Christmas Day. I thought I would treat myself to just a few drinks and that would be it. Well was I wrong!!! I was up to the amount I was drinking Before I quit within a week. I was so upset with myself, but I did learn a good lesson which I know. I am not a normal drinker and never will be. Im all or nothing kind of girl. Alcohol won….again. #startingover
That's amazing. So brilliant 👏 I don't know anyone who can do more than 3 or 4 days without drinking not that I judge them I mean it as a compliment to you that even did that even if you started again
@Christine_Lawson health improving, mild cirrhosis, healing. Blood pressure, cholesterol, liver numbers close to normal. Signs of early alzheimer's, no mention. Wife moved back. College grad son, moved home, to work close to home. Rehab has ended between 1 to 2 years at 3 different places. Sad. No daily classes, activities, socializing, etc. It's a bit scary. But I have zero craving, no desire to drink, dinners, parties, family isn't watching me anymore
I love the different personalities and style of presentation and experiences on YT This was a real and useful treat for me. I am just thinking hmmm I can stop easily if i take a 48 hour break. But love it and for lots of different reasons but am wondering if the time has come at 65 to maybe cut right right back or even quit. I currently tend to go from nothing drunk to quite a bit. Very variable but lets say 2 weeks off to 2 weeks heavily on but plenty of gaps days in those two weeks. But also quite often but not always a lot on the on days. Current plan is essentially quit for three months with a couple of known fun events in there - er wine tasting - but that might be all i have. I am partly doing it for the weight and physical ooomph side which is easier to monitor. But i am making a real effort to monitor and record the head side. I shall review at the end of it all. I already keep a diary/record everyday and going right back so I have a good record for comparison. Its going to be interesting.
The reason you have started Drinking again is because you still feel that it has a benefit to you, when everything scientifically and psychologically. Logically it has no benefits whatsover. There are no benefits in consuming a poision, only negetives in Life. You need more knowledge and relapsing is ok but learn that you must escape this thoughts.
Thanks for your reply. I have been sober for over 3 years. When it comes to Alcohol it is far easier to quit than moderate. Think of it as Drug. Would you be able to moderate Drugs? Remember the 1st drink is the only decision you have. After that the drug takes you back to where you were square one. Be deceplined and passionate about being Sober. Good Luck
Alcohol was my best friend until it became my worst enemy. I became medically allergic to beer . I suffered rashes from it. However i still drank it. My consequences were severe. It gave me comfort while it was killing me. As a result i now have many more food allergies and im on medication for life. I didn't believe that it all would get worse either. I was a time bomb . Alcohol fooled me. And i loved it till death .

Yes, a little poison is supposed to be good for us but we can't just do a little crack, heroin or meth. The promotion for alcohol is powerful
Ppl that can do moderation are probably not alcoholics.
Or they are lying about how much they drink.
