Highly recommend it !! Very true. Sometimes I think about how much worse off I would be if I had just kept drinking and it makes me so grateful

Hi Trevor. (I assume that's your name from the music videos). I've watched TONS of stop drinking videos this year. You probably watched many of the same. Sober Leon, Simon Chappell, Stop Drinking Expert, This Naked Mind, Huberman, etc. Your video really connected with me. On July 1st I was 100 days no alcohol and 30 days no vape. But I allowed my dumb ass to relapse on that very day. Continued drinking through July. Now I'm back on day 5. I think two issues caused the relapse. One, I have dealt with clinical depression since childhood. Always used alcohol to self medcate. Fairly successful at it. But after I stopped drinking the depression returned on an almost daily basis. By day 100 I just couldn't cope with it. I should have just started therapy. But tricked myself into thinking maybe I could continue self medicating, but, this time, in "moderation". Famous last words lol. The second issue (probably the biggest) is I wasn't having much success at productivity filling the time during which I'd normally be drinking. Lack of motivation. Surely due to a dopamine deficit caused by decades of alcohol abuse. It seems you have done a GREAT job on that front and quickly became productivity active. I'm sure that was a big factor in your success. Congrats! Keep it up!

Very glad for you. Stick with it, as will I. 7+ yrs for me and I never fool myself. Although I have no desire to ever touch the poison again I keep in the back of my mind the consequences of one bad decision. I was a very bad alcoholic. Would drink from the time I woke up until the time I passed out, on and on and on. I would have blackouts and not remember days at a time. This went on for many many yrs. I put myself in financial and relationship ruins. After all this time, I'm still recovering from so many things and perhaps never will in other areas. Meaning people, even family, will choose to always see me as a drunk no matter what I do. You have to accept that and move on. I am happy I'm not drinking anymore, but I still suffer with dark and lonely depression. I just deal with it differently than before. Leaving the alcohol out of the equation knowing it will only compound the problem. I'm hard headed. It took me doing that possibly close to a hundred times to catch on.

CONGRATS MAN!!! AI does help, i use it to chat with me. i've used it to support me, although I keep binge drinking once a weekend, i am trying to combat it. I'm wasting my weekends drinking and then recovering. Then I stay sober all week, bike riding and trying to eat healthy, then friday comes around and i start to crave it and i go on a heavy binge, ill drink 24+ beers in one sitting.... But I'll get it together, i've done 110 days this new year but relapsed on april. I just need to really keep busy or leave my place, since it always starts at home.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you got a game plan and are executing it. Im here because I have a brother I feel is going to die if he doesnt change his direction. He has a son and grand kid that his alcoholism is so severe it keeps him from enjoying all these wonderful things to be alive for, Hes such an amazing person in that hijacked body he has now. What would you say to my brother that you think might help him take his first steps to freedom from this curse of his? Keep up the good work and staying clean bro. Thanks for the video
