I am just barely over 4 months and I love it. I was a heavy drinker for 20 years. I thought I was doomed when my dad died a year and a half ago and my Mom died 6 months ago. I made the decision to not crumble. I rose up and stopped drinking that attractively packaged poison. There is nothing good about alcohol. Stay sober, Brother! There are no happy endings with alcohol.
I want to say my condolences to you for losing both your parents. I don't think I've expressed moments during the 11 months, staying sober motivated me to push through the hard times. i must admit -- it has been a stressful last couple of months and a year ago -- i'd be waking up hungover every day trying to cope with this. Going straight through my issues and obstacles straight on sober has been a way better experience for me. I even push myself to also exercise and stay on an healthier eating habit through the tough times because I'll appreciate it at the end of the day. Congrats on your 4 months!!
Much love and respect for you. Also the disapline to maintain your goal. I'm 6 months myself
All the extra time is so rewarding.I just passed my 100 day mark and there's no going back to the poison! Thanks for your videos!
let's goooo!! congrats, friend!!
Good man - Can't wait to get to where you are. Everything you say makes sense.
thanks!!!! you will get there!!
Thank you for this message ☺️ I love my productivity no hangover no drama good sleep
right?! what i'm starting to enjoy is the authentic and my natural way I can socialize with others and how outgoing I can be without any boost from substances.
People getting sober may be very surprised at just how much alcohol shaped every aspect of their being.
I don't think I've mentioned this but when I did the math and realized I could possibly be drinking 1,460 alcoholic beverages a year, made me realize how much that could really be impacting my overall health. that's not including cocktails, only beer.
@@jarnard that's the cold reality of just having a few cold beers....every single day!!!!
Congrats! Almost to a full year! I was only going to do a week break and now I'm at day 53. Really surprised by how much better I feel. Recovering from workouts, sleeping better, alert, more productive, able to focus... SO MUCH BETTER.
right!?!? it's amazing. with the combo of no drinking and slightly better eating routine for me, ive been feeling so much better overall.
Great job Jarnard! I'm right behind you at just over 9 months now. So many positive benefits to not drinking a poison any more! Who would have thought! LOL! Keep up the awesome work and great content! 👊
thanks, bro! likewise! proud of you, man! you look great and happier. Glad to see your relationships with family doing better as well!!
Big facts with embracing change! 💯 Getting out of our comfort zones is where the magic happens. Congratulations on 11 months my friend!!!💪🏻💪🏻 Let’s gooooo!!!!❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

thank you so much! i really appreciate those kind words!!
I love these early sobriety videos! Most relatable to me
glad you can relate to them!!! how far along are you ?
@@jarnard Day 8. I no longer sweat and I am sleeping better. I am waiting for my body to release the water. I have always worked out 5 days per week but very little gains. I see it in my face and belly. I used to be pretty but alcohol robbed me of it.
Yanks cant drink anyway lol...Only joking well dome mate !
hahahha!! thanks!!!
Brilliant! 😊 I’m at one month. Feel great
let's goooo!!!! how you feeling?
@@jarnard headache for a few weeks but now feeling SO much energy. Mentally? The best I’ve felt in years! 😉🤘
Nice work!! Stay with it. Be one of the unique few who can live life to the fullest without a poison that destroys are body and brain. It is way better without it!!
Thanks! I appreciate those kind words!!!
Yeah, because folks like Hemingway, and Hitchens would have been so much better and more articulate had they simply abstained from alcohol.
Way to go bro!
thanks!!!!
Over 128 days sober from alcohol. Sticking to only weed!!
that's good!! how are you feeling?
As an autistic person, i can tell you that the first 20 years of my life were quite miserable. No friends, no interaction with others, no joy nothong but the prison of my failure to assimilate with the world. Believe me, i don't crave constant attention or approval. Very far from it. But, just as anorexia is not a healthy diet, complete seclusion is not a healthy social life.
At age 20 i found my bridge to a semblance of normality , social integration and happiness. You guessed it. Alcohol. I am now married, with 3 kids and functional. Alcohol is the key to this. Without it i am nearly non verbal and shunned. It is a tough balancing act to work with my kids and driving them to activities, but i manage it. Alcohol is God's gift to people like me. Don't demonize it.
I definitely wasn’t trying to demonize alcohol. I’m only talking about my experiences. Seemed like your story is very interesting and I’m glad it works out for you. I’m capable of having a drink without becoming addicted to it, I think. But other people’s experience with alcohol isn’t as positive as yours. But like I said, I’m glad it’s working out for you and giving you great joy and is opening you up Socially. Cheers! Thanks for watching!! 😎😎
@@jarnard thanks for the reply. Since severity of conditions with something like autism cover such a broad spectrum, I can't advise alcohol for anyone either. I get to be me, fundamentally, almost all the time, and can choose a controlled dose with known side effects to help me socialize when I wish. Alcohol of course can be abused and is not without side effects, especially if used heavily, but has lessor effects than many medications, with more easily controlled dosage. I just have to be mindful of arranging transportation.
Best of luck to you too!
I had planned to do 30 days too and now I’m at 2 months
That's awesome!! congrats!! i'm assuming you're starting to experience some of the positive perks of it?
