Dear Chalene
So cool!!! I listened to an older podcast of yours some time ago where you were talking about moderation and I was a bit annoyed and thinking: "That is a very dangerous advice." I fell for that myth for many years…Alcohol is such a dangerous, but glamourized and socially accepted drug, moderation really only works for those who are not hooked to it. I stopped 608 days ago, 1 year, 7 mths, 28 days and I have never felt prouder of myself. I am 60 now and started drinking only in my Twenties, but in my Fiftys could easily finish a bottle of Prosecco by myself… daily! Thanks to a health scare and a sign (saw an online seminar about sobriety) it all just clicked and that was it! Forever grateful to Kate from the Sober School for her guidance.
I read tons of books after that and really worked hard on my mindset. And yes, ….it's not always easy, feelings can be pretty intense and raw without alcohol, too. But I know that I am not going to risk my sobriety for just one little drink and start all over again, I own it to myself, my body and spirit, to stay on this path. Everything you said is so admirable, so honest! You are doing a fantastic work to talk about this sensitive topic! I wish you all the success on your journey. I think we are all real sober warriors and ahead of time!!! Love from Switzerland Ursi
Wow..i was drinking a bottle in ONE DAY, sometimes a bottle and half.
Omg…thank you Chalene, I needed this so much.
I’m going to try the 7 day and not tell anyone, I drink because I’m bored and also to tolerate people. So I want to see the real me. Plus I’m pre-menopausal.
Thanks for sharing this video! This was helpful and motivating g to hear
day 17 no alcohol . Feeling pretty good or atleast better
Wow. This resonates deeply with me. I have been care giving For both my parents for several years now. Mom 100 Alzheimer’s and dad 98. When I make happy hour each night for them I also have wine and cheese and crackers. I eat healthy and I am all about health but this seems to be my guilty pleasure and something I look forward to but it’s each day. This journey has been and is so hard for me so I guess I look for something to look forward to. I do however only buy wine that has less than 3 grams of sugar in the bottle. I’m a no sugar low sugar fanatic.
I really want to somehow replace this daily habit with something more productive but it’s sooooo hard.
Being sober for November anyway but comfortable to join in a 30 day sobriety over December
I did this for 10 weeks and I’m crying now as I’m back fighting it
you are hitting all my thoughts ..
Hi @chalenejohnson. Thank you for all of your inspiring and educational content. Your phaseitup website shows a picture of you holding a bottle of champagne. Now that you are on track eliminating alcohol, maybe replace with a picture holding your mocktail
I'm 30 and started having knee issues in the last two years. I am very active so it is very frustrating. I have abstained from drinking for the last 3 weeks, and aleady notice a big difference in the levels of inflammation in my knees. They aren't hurting as much after I exercise! It's motivating me to continue to stop.
I spent my 50's having two glasses of wine most nights and thought nothing of it. I listened to Huberman's podcast on alcohol, ironically, during my 60th birthday trip through Wine Country.The latest research showing how even small amounts of alcohol produces brain changes was impactful. After that trip I did 90 days no alcohol. It wasn't difficult. Unfortunately, I did not lose any weight because my consumption of sweets increased (shortly after that I started using a CGM, but that's another story). I did feel more clear-headed during that time. I didn't decide to never drink again, but resolved to only have a drink when socializing — not a super frequent thing for me — and not keep it in the house regularly. With few exceptions I've stuck to this. I, too, will never go back to being "a drinker". Life is too short to ask my body to spend time detoxifying instead of on cellular regeneration and on protein and muscle synthesis. We've normalized heavy alcohol consumption over the past 20 years and it's not helping our health – it's hurting it.
One of the greatest blessings of being raised Mormon was having no alcohol ever!
wow this is soooo inspiring
I quit drinking about a month ago and I think you look absolutely beautiful btw!
im subscribing. i drink too much. but not sure i want to quit…
Day 2 and already so much more at peace after real sleep.
I'm on day three of giving up alcohol, and I am surprised at how hard it is!!! I just want to be healthier, feel healthier, look healthier, all of it, I just don't know how/what to replace my evening drinks with and still feel like I'm not missing out on something!
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, I’ve been feeling pretty much the same. It’s very helpful to my experience also.
So I quit 2 years ago for only 10 days – that's as far as I made before I caved. At that time I felt no difference at all and still I woke up feeling hungover even if I didn't drink. Now I've started drinking every day just after work give a few days I don't. I want to stop to lose weight because I do everything else to lose weight and I think it's the alcohol. Also it's unhealthy what I'm doing. I seriously fear that if I quit nothing will come of it again. And I'll end up drinking more.
Thank you for this !!! You made me cry !
I always thought alcohol was gross. Hate the taste. I wish I could enjoy a glass of wine here and there.
30 days!! I drank to help me through menopause depression!!!!
THANK YOU!
I worked at a nightlife establishment for 14 years, where drinking among the female employees was not only OK, but encouraged. That led to 2 DUI's, and years of depression. Thankfully 3 years ago, the guilt I felt afterward was just overpowering. I found the timing was right in my life to give it up. HOWEVER, I still enjoy drinking, but But I only do 3 drinks, a year, 2 – 3 times a year, for the main reason to get that buzz.
good on you!
