Why am I enslaved to this drink? Why am I so obsessed by the idea of having this drink?' ” he explained. During the candid conversation, he also reflected on how drinking was affecting him. "I can't believe the difference that I feel from not drinking. I feel amazing," he added. Tom shared that his journey started when he decided to challenge himself to dry January and kept it going.

For a younger man to recognize an issue and be mature enough to solve it is something we should all aspire to do.

I’m trying to stay sober, these kinds of conversations are so important when I feel alone… this helps me

[thejimcricket]

3 years sober, glad to hear an inspiring message like this.

[sherrieholloway]

Good job recognizing your alcohol issues and taking control of your life and not letting alcohol run your life .. glad you are happy ❤

[katemariepowell]

This is so inspiring! Love to see his self control and openness about everything

[abel]

Congrats…have stopped drinking for the past 3 weeks, feel fantastic. Being social now without drinking is the tough part.

[miller]

Self awareness is a great trait to have. Most people don't have it.

[MonkeyManAB]

These comments really make me feel sad for you all. Can’t even be happy for a dude that’s trying to go sober.

[redheadchickens]

Striping a golf drive down the middle of the fairway really gives meaning to life. I feel him 100% on that. Good on him for recognizing himself and addressing what he foresaw as a problem. There is such a thing as too much, everything is better in moderation and for some it is better to cut it off completely. Good job Tom, you are a true class act and an awesome role model!

[Blakecartersfs]

So happy for him. I grew up with alcoholism in my family, and I have to remain just as vigilant

[calvinjames]

Good for him, I am happy he is on a steady path and taking care of himself. Mental, physical and emotional wellness should always be a priority for everyone 🙏🏽

[kevinsakaofficial]

[adammanker]

He’s preaching what more than half of us watching this video contemplate doing all the time. Going sober.

Him being one of my favorite actors ever and also feeling like I’m becoming I’m an alcoholic drinking hard liquor probably twice a week this hits home hard

[darrylgroeneveld]

Good on you Tom Holland. Not everyone can get away from alcohol or realize they may have a problem till after the fact. Good for you for pushing through snd getting sober mate.

Alcohol effects me a little different. I don't really crave it, but once I start I can't stop. There's no such thing as one or two beers for me, it's either black out drunk or completely sober. So I've been sober for about a month now. Stay strong y'all

[vitorferreira]

It's weird because it's been a tough time for me. I lost my dad about a year ago and since then I can't go through a week of work without having a lot of beers. Not everyday, but at least three days a week. And since then I've been asking myself: Am I becoming an alcoholic? This video was a wake up call.

[IIDynamoDuckII]

I used to love a drink in my 20s, loved going out to pubs and night clubs, was all I looked forward to is finishing work for the week and going out.
But then when I hit my 30s, I was just like "I can't handle these hangovers" so I just eventually stopped, now I might drink 3 or 4 times a year or on a special occasion, but I just don't really like drinking anymore.
Which is a good thing I suppose, I can still drink to be social but I don't crave alcohol. My friend on the other hand had a real problem with drink, I'm proud of him, but he says it's a real struggle still after 15 year maybe more, sober. He said he know if he had just one taste he'd relapse and be on a week long drinking session.
