- The first couple of weeks to a month had its side effects both mentally and physically. A few obstacles lingered throughout the months. In this video, I talked about how I was able to face those side effects and challenges through the 8 months.

I’m currently 50 days sober! Been doing pretty good, just had more thoughts of drinking lately but I didn’t cave in! Ima taking this journey 30 days at a time! Appreciate your content & congratulations!
I don't want to speak for everyone but for me, I find myself thinking about alcohol from time to time. even yesterday, i felt like I was getting tired of working all the time and needed some fun but realized i could be out drinking but instead, i switched the mindset. i ended up doing a workout, editing a video and playing madden. lol
@@jarnard lol I totally understand, I did the same kept myself busy recording a podcast an ect!
I'm 4 months sober today. I drank mostly by myself for YEARS, on average about 12 beers a night, every night. I agree with alot of what you said (heart health, sugar cravings )minus the social aspect of it.
I truly miss the feeling of the initial buzz but I'm pretty sure that if I try just one drink than I'll basically be back to square 1. I stopped taking prescription pills 4 years ago and I'll say this much, alcohol has been waaaayyy harder to stop but I'm doing it. I kinda wish I could drink like a normal person but I can't. Sorry for the rant....good job and good luck man!
No need to apologize for the rant. More than happy to read it. Congratulations on 4 months friend. I feel the same way. I’m hoping to get back to moderate drinking but not sure if I’ll be able to do that without binging. Plus, I really do feel amazing without it. Thanks for sharing your story.
4 months no booze for me as well. last time i drank was my brothers wedding and drank 10 more days straight until stopping again. cant drink like a normal person.
There is no “normal person “ drinking. They just hide it well. Hope you’re still abstaining from the poison. Guess you’d be about 6 months now; same as me, 200 days no alcohol.
Great vid, thanks for the motivation! Currently on day 37! We got this!! :)
let's good! congrats to day 37!! i hope you're feeling some positive benefits.
I’m on day 20…..it surely gets better 😎👍
I like the clarity of your Mic. Can you tell me what’s it called because I need one of those for Vlogging.
I'm using the WIreless Gro Pro II mics. The beautiful of these mics is you get two of them and you can a backup of the audio on the wireless transmitter. congrats on day 20!!!!
@@jarnard Thanx Pal for quick reply. I’m doing well & Much appreciate for info on the Mic 🙏🏻
90 days for me, constipation was the biggest issue early on.
yeah i experienced that too but i wasn't sure if it was from that or lack of fiber and low carbs. it was brutal tho.
Day #11 for me. Thanks Jarnard!
let's gooo! that's awesome to hear! congrats!
That's awesome friend, happy for you 💪🏾💯🤗
thanks! i really appreciate that!
Thanks for making this, bro! Helps me stay motivated on my sober journey
hey, anytime! just want to remind people that my journey hasn't been easy but i think sharing the difficult times and how I'm trying to overcome them could maybe inspire others to push through theirs. LEt's goooO!
Great Job Jarnard!
thanks!!
Great discipline
appreciate it
CONGRATS 🧨
thanks! i'm still at it!
Thank you!
thanks for watching!!
Man Im almost a month sober and still waiting to feel great. I really hope I do otherwise it means alcohol wasnt the problem. Im going dry on weed too as Im compensating with it. MJ withdrawal isnt mentioned as painful but its very subtle. Weird sleep, anxious, irritability. I feel I can go back to alcohol but my blood pressure and bpms while being intoxicated are enough themselves not to. I was hoping to perceive some weight loss by now but I will wait for the 3 months mark. I recall a few years ago I lost weight very easily mostly during a sabatical. I guess it was the whole sabatical thing vs regular system-slave aka rabbit hole lifestyle.
sometimes it definitely take longer for others and some things like sleep, brain or physical attributes comes slower for others. i had a friend who did no alcohol for 90 days and she said she never noticed the difference in her sleep or anything. she was fairly healthy tho.
Well done mate 😎👍
thanks!!
94 days of no alcohol for me
J. Not. Forgetting. The. Money we. Save by. Not drinking ,.
Right?! So much money! I was probably spending $200 a week on alcohol.
Curious on how long you had been daily drinking before quitting cold turkey? My dr suggested cutting back over the course of 3 weeks before completing quitting. But I can’t really moderate, so that’s been a problem.
I was drinking like 2 to 3 drinks daily . Before I went cold Turkey I did scale back. I went maybe a few days without drinking and then would have 1 or 2 (on a work trip). Came home and didn’t drink. Memorial Day weekend was my last weekend of binge drinking
😃👍🍀
