Day 1 for me, again. I'm 62 years old and I've been drinking for most of my adult life. Sometimes very heavily. I live alone, family is over 1000 miles away, I live in a new city, I have no friends or job (at this point). I want badly to be alcohol free. I plan on watching these videos every day, all day, if I have to. But I'm ready. So ready
Thank you for your videos, they help me so very much.
I’m in a very similar boat. How are you going?
Os only ONE decision
Hard
Bit open the mind
I stop with 65 years...
A very good start … day 1 … burn your bridges, don’t look back. Your in a tough situation being in new surroundings but that has no baring on the negative effects from drinking. So believe in yourself and the ability to do something good for yourself. Day by day keep going and keep watching the videos. I’m 84 and making progress so can you! ❤️
No Alcohol for seven months now, no Looking back... Thx Kevin. the Videos help, it all makes sense. And it is so simple, just don´t drink period. No cutting down or taking a week off. Just stop … End of Story!!
Mitch Brousseau good advice Mitch.
My decision was sort of made for me. The last rights. When this actually happened in withdrawals in the days before this I said to myself if I get through this I'm changing my life completely. I'm never touching a drop again and am finding a way to do this whatever happens. I've changed my diet completely changed who I hang around with. It's taken around 8 months for me to start to really notice change here. I'm starting to get real energy my skin and healths improved massively my state of mind and positivity has sky rocketed to the way I thought about life when I was younger and alcohol played no part. Christ my hopes and dreams are returning and I'm now putting then into practice as much as I possibly can. Alcohol nearly finished me of completely now I'm enjoying turning it around as much as is physically possible. Why not do the same. What's the worst that can happen. Drinks been contributing to some of your failure in life so far. Dont let stop you anymore. 👍
Are you still on the sober journey? I'm 1 year 3 months
That line about thinking how life was when you were a kid before alcohol... Yeah, that's it. We squander our dreams and break our own hearts. Alcohol sucks!
@AlcoholMasteryTV. Thank you for the videos I have been sober since 5/16/18. I started drinking almost every day quite a while ago and Knew it wasn't good but it had become a HORRIBLE habit!! I had tried to quit so many times before. Would fall back in to it, waking up with a hangover time after time and getting really upset with myself. Last straw was when i bought a bottle of vodka from a local carryout to have "just incase" and hiding it from my husband in a drawer. Woke up with a hangover again on 5/16, got down on my hands and knees and prayed to God to take this horrible addiction away from me. Telling him that he is above everything else
Gave it all to him. Grabbed that bottle, threw it in the trash. I don't plan on ever going back. I can't have just one. It always leads to more...more...more. NO MORE! Best wishes to everyone else!
daisygrl72 I’m with u girl, finally feel free of the poison. Lighter on my feet just with the burden gone. Happier.
Keep up the great!
I have had the best time being sober, something clicked in me and I no longer have the desire to drink. Thank you, your videos help me everyday. Today is day 8 for me.
James 84 thank you! 45 days sober!
James 84 sure is and I'm down 10 lbs that doesn't hurt either haha! I hope you're doing well also!
Natalie Bennett how are you doing? Still staying away from the alcohol trap?
Britanny B yes mam! Life is so much better, I even went to Las Vegas and had no desire to drink. Are you sober also?
Natalie Bennett I'm only one week but already feel so great. Went to a happy hour party last night and actually felt more confident and in control sober then I ever did drunk. It actually feels so much more powerful to watch others drink to get comfortable, you feel less intimidated by them. I only drank as a social lubricant but became way too dependent on it. Realized it's only an illusion that it makes us more social.
Day 338 for me. At about 180 days you'll really start to understand "why" you drink. For me it's worrying and depression. Exercise helps tremendously. When the cravings kick in, and they will, just don't drink.
rurban what types of exercise do you recommend for a beginner?
Even a simple Walk helps me!
@@Marcus-zt6os Anything at all. Walking is great.
Wow same here!
UPDATE: Over 5 years sober now. Still exercise 3x week. Rarely even think of alcohol anymore. That seemed IMPOSSIBLE 5 years ago (and I couldn't imagine a life without alcohol). I'm amazed its this easy now when it was so freaking impossible for so many years. I tried quitting for 3 straight years and could never make it past 21 days. I drank daily for 16 years. Now I'm free and life is wonderful without the ball n chain. Go get your real, full life and stop settling for a shitty existence my friends. Plan to suffer for 12-18 months for the next 50 years of freedom.
I binge drink heavily for days on end once I start I can’t stop specially when I mix with other drugs I have a two year old son and I have a good family but my choice to youse alcohol as a coping mechanism to stress has become to easy. I am choosing today to stop for a better future for my self & my son & to live a happier healthier life. I can do this! & you can too!
Alcohol is a ball and chain!! Day 66 for me. 😃
How are u doing, still alcohol free?
On 12-12-93, I made a decision to go to rehab. On 12-12-20 I been sober 27 years. Best decision I ever made.
15:55: "This is it! This is going forwards; this is only quitting drinking. This is taking something out of your life which is shit and replacing it with something that is good. We're not talking about amputating your leg, about you having to have brain surgery. It's about stopping doing something, stopping putting this fucking poison in your body"
Brilliant stuff Kevin! ;-)
I agree I love what he just said
After a few years of quitting, I found I don't even consider that I've stopped but I get nice reminders of the fact when I see past associates that I used to drink/argue/laugh with still falling over and begging myself and others for a quid for more drink etc. I can't stop my mind judging these folk because my mind is in such a different place and it just sees drinking alcohol on ANY level as "bad" .
Alcohol can lead anyone down some really dark situations and places and I'd advise anybody even if drink doesn't cause them problems to actually stop because it will still tweak their brainpower so that it optimises their life. It just holds everyone back from being who they are supposed to be IMO. Thanks Kevin your vids have now helped me for years so far I am always drawing from your advice there is always something new to learn.
I love the "Live today like there's a tomorrow."
Thank you so much!! I almost got fired because I smelled like booze at work. Watching your videos helped me to stop the booze! Day 10.
I enter detox tomorrow because I'm so fed up with alcohol running and ruining my life. I never want to touch a drink again. Ive allowed alcohol to rob me of everything I love. I've become a person I can't look at in the mirror. Thank you for this. It really helps to hear this message. I need all the positive advice I can get.
Bobbi J how are things going since you posted ? Hope you’ve found the strength you need !
I completed detox, 5 days. But I can't stop still. I have definitely cut back and haven't had the terribktbxymptoms. I got a rx they said might help me not crave. We'll see. You're very sweet and kind to ask how im doing. It means a lot
Bobbi J ah keep your head up dude. We are all in the same boat together so I think we should check up on one another. Stay safe dude
Hey, how are things going?
+Bobbi J How are things dude? how are you keeping?
I quit drinking at 20 and encountered a challenge in my life around 36. I went to a bar, and haven't been able to quit since then.. I'm now 63 and can't seem to find the motivation to want to quit. It's affected my relationships my health and my spiritual life, but I still do it almost every day. Thanks for the video.. I'm going to be watching daily. I know I have to stop.. just looking for my WHY!
I hope you found your WHY. I think I just found mine! 4 days today, not too shabby. I don't want to put off the rest of my life. Tired of not remembering my life, tired of feeling internally like a total loser for my memory lapses. Its one decision that effects the rest of your life. I actually remembered this morning where I left my tweezers on Monday - that would have NEVER HAPPENED before. What a great feeling! I don't want to put off the rest of my life. Best of luck to you Greg! And thank you Kevin. I have been watching you on/off for 6 months- now your a regular part of my day. Blessings.
A little over four months for me. This Naked Mind by Annie Grace changed my whole outlook. I can’t imagine going back. The longer I go without drinking, the more dumb drinking seems. I am happier than I have been in over twenty years and not once have I woken up in the last four months and been bummed about not being hungover. Make the change. Take the leap. It’s empowering. It’s glorious.
4 weeks with big help of unbelivable Mr. O Hara' s every single Day videos. Thank you very much!!!
If I needed this sad twat to help me stop drinking... I would not stop
Day 1 for me. Love this video. My high level goal is to reach my fullest potential and reach a state of awareness that was rampant in the early days. But then again that is so that I can take care of my family and be a good example for them. Perhaps that is my highest goal.
Starting my new journey today... Again.. I will never forget how my life changed to amazing when I stopped for 4 months!.....
I believe that this time I will succeed! Thanks for your videos!
Nearly 3 years now. Your simple message helped so much.
Thanks Kevin. I've stopped drinking 10 days ago and mentally and physically I feel a huge improvement. I feel much more comfortable in my skin. Great advice and inspiration on this chanel
This channel is too good.
He takes the easy way.
His walking indicates his journey..
I used to smoke , take drugs etc gave all that rubbish up , no desire to ever do those things again but alcohol is a problem to me and I need to quit to make a better future for my family, they are young and deserve better, as this man says , self actualisation, be the best version of yourself you can be
THANK YOU for doing these videos while hiking. It's so inspiring! You're basically showing us there's more to life, stop drinking, get up and get moving! Also, nature is healing.
I failed again yesterday, but I'm starting over today. I failed many times, but I keep listening to your motivation and it does help. Praying this time will stick.
Seen yer comment from 6 years ago, about wanting to quit alcohol how are you doing with giving up, hope you succeeded I'm trying myself.👍
I start to drink when I was 14. Stopped it, then I start at 18. Alcohol destoryed my life. I was at fights, been lifetime banned some of the pubs around here. Then I hang around with people who also drank to much. When I cut them off, It beens lonely friday, satuarday nights. But I feel more freely. So I didnt drank since july last year! Im so happy and I dont miss that shit.
Statos Productions ,,,, So Proud of you!
Thanks! Its been good. Only one time I had an graving for alcohol and it was when my pal was performing at local bar with his guitar. Suddenly the voice inside of me, first time in a long way said to me: "It would be nice with an cold bear". I had almost panic attack. It keep my over 40 min, but then the panic went down.
Amazing strength, well done
Have you tried picking beans?
Thanks for the video, it takes alot of insight to speak about this!
It was the last girl I dated that really made me want to stop drinking permanently. She called me a hypocrite for telling her to slow down as she was taking a pull off a bottle of tequilla immediately after waking up. On the spectrum of alcoholism, I wasn't nearly as bad off as her, but I certainly had no room to speak either. My DUI wasn't a wake-up call, my formerly chiseled athletic physique turning into mush wasn't, becoming flat broke wasn't a wake up call. It was the pain of trying to convince her that it was breaking my heart to see her slowly killing herself that I was doing the exact same thing to myself by degrees.
I've tapered off considerably, and one week ago today was the last drink I had. I feel like I'm ready to quit permanently. No matter how fun the bar is, without booze it is just sitting in a chair loudly talking for hours and hours. Thank you Sarah, hope you heal yourself and that feeling of loneliness.
I've made a decision to stop drinking tomorrow Kevin I've told my family and prepared everything but quite scared
thank you so much Kevin you've been one of the biggest inspirations in my quest into sobriety I wish you all the best :-)
it's obvious how much Kevin cares about what he's doing and helping people. This video is another inspiring video I'm going on over two months, thanks in great part to watching these videos for hours every day thank you so much Kevin!
Inspiring video thank you Kevin, I've just past a week and not attending and programmes so atm this is my only outlet. It's good to hear your opinions and advice, it's greatly appreciated and such a help for me so again many thanks.
Kevin, I know one must get sober for oneself, but love helps. This helps me and I'm counting the days. Thx again for you inspiration.
Thank you, your journey with out alcohol is so encouraging. Please keep up the excellent work.
Hi there Kevin
great advice and motivatio. You are so right.
Ive stopped and started drinking so many times, lied to myself and family and always ended back in that dark place. I've started listening to.your videos and you make a lot of sense. So a big thank you and bless you sir!
I am starting my journey today. I've been a binge drinker for around 19 years. I know it will be hard but I can't ever go through the blackouts and embarrassing things I've done anymore. I've lost a lot of friends and family because of this monster. Lost a lot of my health and sanity.
Thank you for this, I’m struggling... these last 3 days I forced myself to drink it, I did have the realisation this is deliberate self harm 😢
Thank you my friend. I’m in day 2 of my journey. I’ve learned and absorbed more in this video than I have in any meeting I’ve been to. Thank you for making this video, and much love from Texas, US.
Great videos, have been watching now for about 3 yrs
Makes a lot of sense to me
Thank you
happy woman
Kevin your videos are amazing mate keep them coming
Great video......
Thank very much Kevin for putting it simple and straight to the point....
Today i took the decision of quit drinking ones and for all. Im not an every day drinker but when i do i drink heavy. Just started watching your videos i really hope this will give me somw advise and guidance
How are you going in your recovery?
I hope you're doing great buddy. I'm in the same situation. I'm far from being an alcoholic but I binge drink on the weekend which is really nit good for my body and mind.
Kevin there are no words to express my gratitude to you Sir. You have helped me more than anything else.
Everything he's saying is right I don't always drink but I have that fomo attitude and im really trying to lose it my family has alot of alcoholics and I'm not trying to become one. Time to move on to better things and I'm gonna do the absolute best I can thanks for the videos!
Love the concept of your video.
Honestly this is a life changing video well done on this content 🙏
Love your videos brother! Celebrating 9 months sober today
Thank you...I’m preparing! You are a blessing. 🙏
Hi there, firstly congratulations. You are an inspiration! Have just discovered your channel today on a day I've decided to quit. I really think I can do it! Especially now I found your story and insight! You really really get this addiction and what you say really resonates with me. I think I drink a similar amount to what you did, I've been a heavy drinker for 20 years and although I can hold down a job and leave it alone for 2 or 3 days at a time (I rarely do!) I finally do want to stop, I've just turned 40 and have a young child now and want to be a better dad. So fed up of being a slave and scared of not drinking for fear of boredom etc. onward and upward. Keep up the amazing work and by the way you look so much healthier than you did in you early vids. Thanks again :)
This is his absolute best video I've seen. I've probably seen close to 60 and this one is just amazing.
only found this channel today but the difference between week one vlog and this one is proper night and day
One of the best videos you have done kev imho.
Ray Nicholson Agreed.
Kevin is a legend spreading positivity and will power he his videos have been a god send this weekend
Wise words and great video!
Your videos have helped me tremendously!
Great video. Very inspirational. And true.
Wow. Powerful stuff 💯
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Kevin you are amazing I will contact you ! Well done and thank you for sharing this
Really really helpful and clarifying
Best video yet!!!
Thank you so much.
You are absolutely right, the universe perceives intention from every living thing, every single second
So glad I've discovered ur videos today thanks so much 🙏
And I'm on day 3 feeling confident this time .most I've been sober in 20 years is 15 days .but I can do 30.for me it's just getting first weekend out the way.wish me luck , and thanks Kevin
First attempt I went 3 days. Second attempt I went a month. Third attempt I went 9 months
heres another video idea for you Kevin: the new sets of perceptions and the new way of thinking is both unexpected and constantly changing. The process of rediscovery brings about its own problems and rewards.
Excellent Video Kevin. Day 10 for me and my wife will speak to me again. Your statement concerning burning the ship so there is no way to retreat is very poignant. I do this by telling people that I am an alcoholic. I cannot retreat from that confession. Stating that also removes weight from shoulders at the same time. I feel great!
You're a great help. I need a map to navigate out of this and you're it,Thank you.
You said it all
Thanks Kevin !!!!!🖒😎😁
On day 5 with no alcohol. I releasped like 20 times now but I know this is it. I’m done putting this poison inside of me.
Best time in my life were those I haven't drink for long time.... I keep trying to stop for a few months, then I start back.... All my failures in life were caused by alcohol... I hate this poison. I am 32 now, how much I wish I did stop ten years ago, my life would be so much better..
Thank you. I make music and my music has been getting better and better not being messed up too much. I appreciate these videos a lot. They're sincere and very good.
Kevin I'm inspired by your videos. I will be moving to the outer Hebrides early next year. I will be recording videos on foot, to help people educate people about alcohol. I've no aspirations to run a website, my motivation comes from you.
Negative Foundation? Ouch... I would love to talk with you. Thank you for your daily encouragement!
Thank you Kevin love you
Thank God I find uu like I can stop keep it up.
My journey is new and includes people like me to be around. This is not something to do alone and why do it alone if I don't have to,its to powerful ,these videos are great help but can't live in a video ,need community, real live people for support,keep on keeping on
Kevin, I’m 3 days from 30 days.!! Feeling good and want to keep it going
I love the Cortez analogy burn the ship so there is no way back only forward Dynamite I love your videos very inspirational I'm on day one or actually two again and I believe it is true if you keep failing and failing it builds on itself, until you lose faith you don't want to do that cuz at the end of that road are suicidal thoughts... Keep up the good work onward and upward
You are fantastic..x
