John Mayer talks about Sobering up and not Drinking #sober #johnmayer #drinking

This is very very true! Why not stop because you had enough? I hit rock bottom but didn't lose everything.

[chefdani]

Love this! 4+ yrs now 🙋🏽‍♀️. I appreciate my life so much! 💖

[seansmuts]

Stopped drinking and smoking 20 years ago. Best thing I ever did. My two sons have never seen me drunk and embarrasing.

[michaelmueller]

I have 114 days sober and my new life is much better!

[underworldwarlock]

We are out here! Wasting so much time hungover gets old! I definitely had enough. Two years almost- no drinks

I've been sober for about 7 years now I got high everyday for most of my teens and into my late 20s and I just woke up one day and just didn't want to get high or drunk anymore it's been the most freeing feeling in my life I'm no longer dependent of drugs or alcohol I've been able to be successful and get everything in my life together

[asuncionohana]

Same. My Gram used to say “I’ve had a gentile sufficiency”😅
I sure have! It feels great to be free! Just a choice we have and a powerful one- thanks John!

My parents own nightclubs I've been professional musician my entire life. I think about 20 years ago I just said I've had enough and I stopped drinking or drugging. I don't regret it at all. People say I didn't have a problem but they're not in me

As a 48 year old woman, it has been shocking to me how I could offend others simply by stating, "I don't drink, " when offered an adult beverage. As if I am calling them out?!? I am not. I am simply stating my preference since I know myself, and I know I do not make good decisions when I am not in my right mind. In the beginning, it felt very alienating and lonely, but eventually, I found healthier friends who love physical activities that keep me honest. I could never climb mountains hungover.

I completely agree with you John after turning 66 drinking was getting so old and boring I got tired of it I just quit one day it's a personal choice to stop and not start again.
As for me it just wasn't fun anymore😊

[peterjonas]

two years sober. Best decision of my life.

[scottschmittmusic]

Dig it.. You Da Man John... Yep, don't miss it at all

[NicholasPalance]

I had enough around this time, too. 5 years on August 3rd!

[dropclutch]

The hamster wheel metaphor is on point.

[ydoicare]

Agree!!! That “ you have to hit rock bottom is BS!!!

[reidmcm]

Mr. Mayer I’m taking your advice tonight… thanks

[matthewberg]

Desperate to stop drinking. Just don’t know how to deal with the boredom.

[shawnchaudry]

How do you help someone else who gets defensive when you try to help (and might not think they have a problem)?

Always eager to philosophy, our Johnny boy
