Stop Drinking: 7 Tips for the First Week of Sobriety

Smash your first week of sobriety - 7 Awesome tips to ensure you stay sober - watch now!

Stop Drinking - tips that will help you survive the first week of sobriety

The first week sober can feel tough, a bit like you are taking the first steps to climbing a huge mountain, but you can't even see the summit for the low hanging clouds above you.

That fear of the unknown can often cause us to give up on our climb and go right back to the start before we even reach the 2nd basecamp. This is why I see so many people experiencing day one of sobriety over and over again.

The good news is that the summit of that sober-mountain isn't as far away as we actually think, but we often tell ourselves a story that it is going to be the hardest journey of our lives.

The tips for staying sober in this video will help you get past the tricky terrain that you can experience in the first week or two when you are quitting drinking and will allow you to move to a place where you are enjoying the journey and experiencing wonderful changes in your life.

These 7 tips for surviving the first week sober worked for me, I was a heavy daily wine drinker for over twenty years, I never thought I could break free, but I did and now I want to show you what life is like on the other side.

Day 10 for me and I'm not looking back 💪
Wishing everyone the best to give it up we got this ❤

Four days in. It's hard. So glad you're here.

Thank you, man. I have been drinking for 15 years. The first 10 years was a social drinking but passed 5 years ago, and I have become a daily drinking. And Covid makes me extremely alcoholic. Drank every single day from morning to night. Now, I've been sober for 48 hours. But I realise how difficult it is to recover from this alcohol. Definitely, I will make it happen. Wish me luck guys.❤❤

Drinking does ruin your sleep patterns, (quality), and feeling like crap isn't any fun either. Weight gain, waste of money, and hurts your self esteem. Most of all, being a slave to anything is a great reason to quit doing that thing.

Hit 7 days today…..your videos do help I’m looking forward to a month

[reginasingleton]

I'm on day 4 an I'm religiously watching your videos all day today and this is my relief and thank you. And I'm writing this all down and it's very true .

I sustained for a bit (broke a record), then told myself.... "oh its time to celebrate my record breaking victory!" Which was only 2 weeks. Of course one beer turned into missed days at work and just a complete nasty, dark spiral. Im back on the journey, alcohol is a TRAP. I felt so much better when I was sober, was going to the gym, had more self confidence, and didn't feel like utter sh*t at work the next day. This video explains the lies about alcohol perfectly! <3

I got 11 days with no drinks at all, and tonight I'm getting drunk... The boredom got me, and I said to my self I'll have 2 beers and I'm at 6th now! Yay me... even thought I'll still try to get away from this poison. Wish me luck guys!
I honestly felt so much better after even 11 days, and now I'm back at squire one again... I've been thinking about joining AA? It's a full blown dependency is what I now know. It sucks being dependent so much on beer at 27...

Day 11. Drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up cash at casino last night for casino slot online winnings. Told “come anytime.” Arrived at window at 8:00 pm. Manager picked up phone, said they are gone for the day. Have to pick it up at Sports Book window between 8:00 am, 8:00pm”. Arguing about false information given useless. Fuming, went for steak dinner, walking past cases of personalized wine boxes for “esteemed guests.”
Had nice filet with lobster bisque, and scallops. Drank one ice tea, drove home dog tired as wife had to work 7:00 am. 11th day, I got this.

Just recently been feeling like giving up. Longest I've gone is 4 days, but keep trying.

Thanks for your videos, I need these in my life right now.
I have had very bad social and general anxiety now since I can remember, and that transitioned into a heavy hitting depression in my adult years. Simple tasks the general population dont give a second thought to are very challenging for me and have felt impossible in the past. I am 24 and been drinking heavily since 18. I have also been on anti depressants since the age of 18 and in and out of therapy and counselling for all my issues. I now have a job which is great as i got to the point where I couldn't leave the house. I genuinely have falsely used alcohol as my crutch when it isnt to "cope" even though its created some major issues. Every house party I've been too, I easily did a bottle of vodka or gin without giving it a second thought. Every night out I've been on has resulted in me blacking out and not remembering anything, and this drinking even got to the point where it was an everyday thing (in smaller doses) at home.
Sorry to vent but thanks for your videos and it's time for me to make a change and get out of this limbo.

I’m on day 3 no drinking. From 2 bottles of wine a night some times more

[Thedesertguy]

[janefuller]

Wow so happy I found this site I'm in thanks guys

[beautifulsoultress]

This is day 1 again.. l tried to quit and got sick from withdrawals and stopped for 2 days and l attended my 1st AA meeting!

[gregmacfd]

Thanks Simon, after reading your book and listening to your YouTube videos I actually do feel confident I can beat my drinking habits, appreciate what your doing mate, need more people in this world like you ❤️

[caram]

Can I still try it even tho I am one week sober? Ur the first person who has not rambled on. You really resonated with me. I spent the week staying inside covid helped lol because I didn't want to be tempted to grab a drink. Day 7 and I'm starting to feel more like me again. Thank you so much

[kevinmcmanus]

This is the first day. I am hungover. I believe alcohol to be poisin and nothing more. I too have developed social escape/anxiety. Work has become phobic. It's tough I know. I already go to the gym. It helps. If I'm not more resonsible I'm going to lose the job. I have a genetic disorder/chromosone damage which also comes with ADD and Bi-Polar disorder. Alchol came into my life in my senior year of High School. I felt different and alcohol allowed me to blend...except for the next day. Thank you coach. I have employed the meditation. I really want to come back here a week from today and be able to say like Rocky "yo I did"!

[ChrissyG]

I watched the first few minutes and found I totally agree. Great video mate, thank you for sharing 👍🏼
