Day 306 sober for me. I had the talk with myself last year. I told myself "You need to leave that stuff alone,man. It's costing you too much". I had that talk while hungover. 12-31-2023 was day 1. The ball dropped and I drank non alcoholic beers. Budweiser 0.0 and Clausthaler non alcoholic. I took part in dry January. I told my friends what I've done. The support was amazing. I confess I miss the euphoria feeling. But never the aftermath. Sleep got better after parting ways with booze and beers. I still have anxiety here and there. But I overcame it. I've been punishing myself for not quitting sooner. No more needing naps because I was too hungover. No randomly vomiting. No more taking aspirin like tic tacs. I confess I was a functioning booze bag. I should've quit years ago. I'm thinking about ordering my 1 year sober token off Amazon.
Edit:I was a 2 pack a day smoker back in high school. From 18 years old to 19 years old.I moved up to cigars. 2012,2014,2016,2017 and this year. Cigars. Cigars are addictive. And they were my trademark for a while. My future is in question also. I have no problem telling people I'm a teetotaler.
You aren’t depressed because of the sights…that’s withdrawal
tobacco hard to quit
You are a boss.
Love love love thanks for sharing!
At 22, im one day sober – 2 years after the first time i came into the rooms or explored the possibility i had a problem, and your story is comfortingly similar. i think i got this! thank you for speaking on this.
I have recently committed to going sober, and I'm excited 🙂 this has given me even more motivation 🙂
I'm going into my 3rd month sober and I'm tired at 10pm no matter what. I was the same way, beer gave me an extra boost, that shit would keep me awake all night. I can't do it anymore being sober. I start falling asleep around 9pm to 10pm.
This is great information. Have you seen Fostering Resilience and Dr. KJ Foster. She also has great sobriety info.
I really need to stop i done 4 and a half month at the start of year and felt amazing then i started again and now struggling to get motivation to stop , am lying here with another wasted day spent in bed hung over and depressed onced again 😖
Thanks for this video! I have a similar story and you did a great job articulating the experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience. So grateful for the courage youre putting out there. Its healing energy. Peace and much sucess to you.

I’m so proud of you for quitting drinking and smoking. Those are hard ones.
9:57 you got me there! Running, then a cigarette right after and drinking every night! 😮
22 yrs sober now & 20 yrs cigarette free! ❤
Oh.. and I’m a native New Yorker! Starting drinking, drugging & partying at age 10!
Had the best of times/ had the worst of times 😂
You are the cutest thing ever!
Your such a dork but in a good way!
Thank you, that was really informative, and you are a captivating speaker. I could listen to you talk about cornflakes for four hours and still love it! Adorable.
So many places serve NA beer now, or the old selzer and lime in a glass move. noone knows its not vodka. And viola you're holding a drink. People don't really care if it's got alcohol in it.
That's what I have found anyway .
So when people ask if they can get me a drink, I don't say no I say yes that would be great. I'd love a seltzer and lime. And if you say it confidently, there's not usually a lot of convo abt it after that and the night moves on to other topics. 😊
Pleaseeeeee make a video if you would be able to 🫶 i loved this so much but smoking is my only vice and ive found so few videos out there focused on nicotine
Seemed impossible, but it’s been over 2 years and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal, not even within the first 30 days, just happened after go’ogling Steffon Barkloads Quit Drinking Forever and genuinely quitting because I was a mess.
Thank u from me, for being a positive influence in this matter 💛💫💚
Your gut biome thanks you, too! Great video!
Good job! Congrats on 2 years ❤ 8 months sober for me and my bf. Its been mostly amazing. Im bipolar and my mood swings had been ruining my life ever since I started drinking. Life is soo much easier now. I dont cry and get depressed and have to lay in bed the rest of the day if I slept bad. It's been life changing truly. Dont miss it one bit!
i’ve been off the sauce for four years. i can’t shake the cigarettes..
This is beautiful and I’m so proud of you and your story. I remember in another video you said you didn’t end up finishing Infinite Jest because it got damaged in a flood, though you were enjoying it other than the endnotes. But I really hope you come back to it because of how much it means to former addicts and people in recovery.
Great job! 🎉. I am a alcohol baby now Crone , 12 1/2 years sober ,zero friends outside of my Partner . People are coming around wanting my friendship but I won’t risk it if they drink. In the gay community it’s a challenge but I love being my own best friend . I don’t do any recovery programs I just read books , hike and drink lots of tea . I love your book reviews they are different from others and I really enjoy watching them!
I'm 44 and have been drinking since 17. Had sober periods but ultimately relapsed. I keep trying and enjoy these videos.
Great hair 🎉
I feel like I’m going to lose a bond with my friends cuz they’re still going out together and partying and I’m staying home. It makes me so sad.
This is how it feels right now in DC
I still go the bar sober and ask for a pint of redbull (they have it on the gun).
It takes me basically all night to drink one, and it looks like beer.
It's more or less a prop, but it obviates the awkward interactions without a drink in hand.
The added bonus is a shitload of b vitamins and a little caffeine, which are both social lubricants in their own rite.

Cool Ana I'm doing this tomorrow 🙂 Really. 🙂
Thank you for this video. Im on 11 months without the booze.
4 years sober!
So helpful 💓🦋
I am so happy for you!!!! I can tell you from personal experience that it gets even better over time. I’m 27 years sober and still feel so grateful each and every day!!!!! Don’t miss it one bit! Have fun on the journey!
When I drank it was like drinking cocaine. The euphoria was transcendental. Invariably, however, I behaved like Ozzy Osbourne. Sober, I'm shy and thoughtful.
This is a downward spiral that many fight with. It seems like it is so easy to fall back into the "old habits" Congrats on escaping this spiral!
7 YEARS SOBER NOW MYSELF … SALUTE 🫡 👍🏾💯
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my husband 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.
Being full time waiting for it or drinking it made me feel like I was drifting constantly on a sea of depression.
YES ! Two years, 30 Dec. !! 🙏
I like drinking too much to be an alcoholic. Three pints a week.
I was never an alcoholic, but I'd drink very frequently during weekends. Getting into sports changed it, because I'd feel like shit on training on Monday. It's been maybe 8 years since I last drank some alcohol.
It's funny whenever I mention I don't drink people get surprised. Only drug people expect you to partake in as a default.
thank you for sharing, it really helps ♥
3.7 yrs alcohol free. Love this lifestyle. I make better decisions. I wake up feeling as though I am living a healthy life which I am proud of.
I find this an accurate and balanced perspective. The health effects of going sober are outstanding. The social effects can be awkward and isolating from others. I feel we need more options for socializing without alcohol.
