Bro I thought these guys were the same person

[turbdonkey]

I've never met a sober person who regretted giving up drinking...including myself.

Really love your point Chris about “If you need to drink to enjoy your nights out, you are choosing the wrong nights out” spot on

[JCrashB]

Today I'm 909 days sober. I was a functioning alcoholic until October 1st 2020. Quit cold turkey. Haven't looked back.
Good luck and strength to all strugglers out there. You can make it!

Not drinking, being healthy, gym life, feeling good etc has hit critical mass. God knows I needed that to happen.

[ZlySabaku]

220 days sober today. Remember watching Chris' 1000 days no alocohol video at the beginning. It was one of the things that inspired me to do this. Changed a lot, love every single day

Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Andrew Huberman podcast on alcohol 100% changed my perspective on me even thinking that being a "weekend drinker" was fine. I quit IMMEDIATELY after viewing that podcast and feel GREAT every single Saturday morning! Watch that podcast in it's entirety and you'll likely see why your thinking is indoctrination and was incorrect all along. The facts were 100% what made it easy for me to quit.

45 days sober here ⚡️
Never felt better in a decade
Im 27 training for my first amateur fight 🏆
Stay strong lads, we got this 🤌🏻🤝🏻🧿

It's all about culture. As a Scot, every time I'm out with friends whilst not drinking the question is always "why aren't you drinking?" And it's sad that I feel like I need to justify it. My friend that has Crohn's disease gets the same question and he answers about his condition, then the subject is dropped. If I say "I just don't drink" it's then the follow up questions. One would hope the culture could change, but not a chance in hell up here.

I quit drinking alcohol on Christmas day 2018 because exactly what Mike described. When you're in your 30s hangovers last for days not hours, lifes too short to hate yourself 50% of the week

[Wolfenstein]

As of now I made it to 80 days without a drink. I have been tempted but for the most part my friends have been really supportive. My mental health and sleep also improved.

Sobriety should be talked about much more. This is a very good topic Chris & Mike! I have got ADHD, and alcohol triggers more than just dopamine. It’s either no beer, or a full blown bender and no sleep, sadly. I don’t look down on people who drink, but those who will enjoy a better ‘real’ life. Great content 🤝

You guys hit so many points that I’ve been thinking about lately. Turned 25 a few months ago and I usually drink atleast one night on weekends since my teens. I am starting to realize how confident and comfortable I am with myself and talking to others being sober. My sober charisma is soo much better.

I actually gave up drinking alcohol mainly because I suffer with IBS & Alcohol is one of my triggers, it’s only when I stopped I realise that 1. I didn’t need it 2. I didn’t like it 3. I only drank to fit in socially 4. To cope with anxiety & shyness ….. 7 years later & I still don’t drink alcohol & I love it 👍

[Wonderish]

Just over 12 years sober. Best thing I ever did for myself. I drank heavily from 13 to 33. I love that there's cool sober people for young men and women to look up to, now. Alcohol is ridiculous.

[LifewithRickToledo]

Great Interview - I saved so much money not drinking every day like i used too. Now im able to do more for myself and family financially as well as mentally.

[sosa]

I’m going through this right now. Not enjoying drinking anymore and hate the feeling of being drunk. Hanging out with people that drink often is tough but that’s where discipline comes into play. I honestly don’t understand why i use to drink often. I think having something to look forward to and having goals makes drinking seem pointless.

3 months alcohol free today. 24m and loving it. I don’t miss being to hungover to work on Mondays, not remembering the weekends, blowing all my money on food and drinks, saying shit I’d never say sober, not exercising, not eating well, insomnia, impending sense of doom with a side of depression for days after drinking.. yeah I don’t miss any of that. Now I’m workin 40 hours a week, working out 4 hours a week, I’m fit and love the way that I look and feel, there’s clarity, I’m witty, I make people laugh again, I’m me again. Fk alcohol.

“I like the reality I’m in now” wow that one is so true
