Two years in at the moment, in Spain for a break with my wife, said to her yesterday, in a bar, " you know the best thing about quitting alcohol is..having a clear mind all the time " a few minutes later i said " you know what the worst thing about quitting alcohol is..having a clear mind all the time " and I'll stand by that

Drinking to stop stress is like asking micro loan to pay today's bills because you have no money left. Solves it today, makes it worst tomorrow.

I moved from a city to a smaller town and my social group changed from being 21-26 year olds to being 26-30s dudes who were Christians with young families This change in environment and social vibe basically acted as a helpful boundary between me and drinking environments where I would social drink My friend group revolved around Christ and the gym, alcohol wasn’t even involved apart from the odd pub trip where I would get 0 alcohol drinks. Quitting social drinking became much easier when I just hung out with more mature guys, and in environments where getting drunk would make me feel way more embarrassed

I would like to thank you for your videos. I had gone 16 years without drinking.Last year I let my guard down and thought that one wouldn't hurt.I knew it was not right but at the time I was in a bad place. One can turned into 4 then 4 went to 8.Before I knew it I was back on the rollercoaster. My Family had helped me get free of the drink before so I was feeling guilty about what they would say if they knew I was back on it. My biggest fear of stopping was the fear of me fitting again and having to go into hospital like before. Anyway after watching your videos, I sat and thought about what you had said and binned my remaining cans. It's been a month now and I feel I like I did before. I wake up feeling great and can get more things done in the day. I always thought one wouldn't hurt but how wrong I was. Thank You once again. You have prevented me from destroying myself.

To stop and stay stopped there can be not one fibre of your body that wants , needs or desires alcohol in any way shape or form, you have to view it with an aversion, sleep hypnosis , saying no and being an individual, refusing to budge on the subject as no one can defend the fact it’s a killer , sometimes slow , sometimes fast but a killer ,thank you Leon for your content it’s one of many tools I’ve used to help my mind be repulsed at the thought of drinking alcohol for almost 4 years , the timespan seems almost irrelevant but is an example to people struggling that it can be done , start the rest of your life , stop now

I completely agree. Simple motivational videos certainly won't help to quit in a long term. Few years ago I decided for the first time to stop drinking due to obvious potential positives taught by you tube speakers and it was not long later when I got back to alcohol so as to cope with internal struggle after very stressful painful situation. I continued thinking that way for the next few years however I realised that it is just demise and does not change virtually anything in a positive way so I decided to finally quit drinking some ago. I am still young man before 30 and I just don't want to stay in that mental vicious circle. It is important to be aware that at some point problems will occur no matter who you are. Ofc I agree with telling all of those general health benefits yet while quitting it is necessary to be realistc about the complexity of using that drug in relation to mentality and way of thinking.

Very helpful video Leon! Not drinking may seem like a simple solution to someone on the outside but, it is much more complicated than that to someone with an alcohol problem. There are several factors that can make it a challenge for someone to stop drinking: Alcohol is a highly addictive drug, Socially acceptable, Readily available and heavily advertised, Quitting can be scary, Alcohol is the only drug you have to explain not using. While quitting alcohol can be difficult, it's not impossible. With the right support, resources, and a personalized approach to recovery, many people successfully overcome alcohol addiction and lead fulfilling, sober lives. Wishing you all the best to all of you trying to quit! Never give up hope!👋❤💪

Half a day in now. Have had runs for a couple of months of not drinking, last bout was just a week without. Difference now is that for the first time ever I got a job, making drinking out of the question...during work. Still, that formless monster knows me inside out.. not sure how I'm gonna get it to leave this time.. but it's very " there" when I talk to myself... like it's listening to itself or something. Looks like prayer might be the next step to getting it to f off.

Quiting does not suck at all over a year sober and never felt better after being hospitalized on the verge of death people don't really realize how deadly alcohol is I was a functioning alcoholic for years until I couldn't I had to drink to stop the shakes cold sweats and anxiety and it came out of nowhere it got to that point almost overnight

I'm on day 5 and feel terrible. So tired but sleeping under 2 hours a night. I woke up last night freezing and shivering so bad it was like a full body convulsion. It was 76f in my house too, usually too hot for me. Anyone else experience these symptoms on day 5? Seems like its getting worse instead of better.

The problem that I have is that I love Wine. I drink two bottles every day,at night time, which is expensive. I’m 78 years old. And I truly wish that I could kick this Habit. I have never,and I mean never been influenced by advertising. This is just upon me. When my late Wife died ( Within four minutes before going out with her friends) I started drinking two bottles of Wine each night.To try and relieve the pain. And I have more or less continued this 10 years on. I have the shakes each day, and the only thing that stops it is more wine. I’m at a total loss.

I drink alcohol if I want to. I can go months without, don't think about it but on special occasions I can drink. Because I control it not the other way around.

This advice is only valid if you have been a problematic alcoholic, i myself i enjoy alcohol from time to time, when in company i drink whatever there is if at home usually the good stuff, i function normally, get my workouts, do my hobbies, provide for my family... and guess what if work needs to be done ? I DONT DRINK... Iwork hard but i also party hard so to speak, but i dont mix it up... its that simple, i never drink in a work week, its all about discipline and lifestyle...If offcourse you are not able to have a flexible lifestyle i get it... but unless you are a professional tennisplayer or something or an alcoholic and you dont know moderation or control i dont see you gotta live like you are in some straight-edge cult, unless you genuinely dont like alcoholic beveredges, but that is another story then.
