You seem to still think about it a lot, though.

@@twosencefromcleveland6084 you must not be an alcoholic :)

Good for you my brother! I just picked up my one year chip in AA!

@@twosencefromcleveland6084🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOL ✌ Peace brother !! 😁😉

man I know it's not good when you know in day how long was pass that's dangerous

I'm on year 11 w/o alcohol and I don't believe in any religion or god.

Reptoid Sorry 😐 to hear that!

@@Blastfence1 The drinking part or the god part?

haven't had a beer in 30 years and I don't believe in god but I do have my own spiritual beliefs

@@tim1883 Be that as it may , God believes in you . He is not finished with any of us , yet . Wyr God bless

@Traditional lifestyle / No You Hang up I agree with you but most can't drink like you do. Most get drunk everytime they drink.

@@boatrvme8478 Agreed. I know VERY FEW people who handle alcohol well. Not a sin to drink it, unless it's a problem for you or someone you influence.

Janoy Cresva crack/cocaine users I meet aren’t social nor alert. They do tend to be skinny though.

@@boatrvme8478 Most??? Where do you live?

lbdhoyte - you got that.

Very well put....there is something about truth that is uplifting...and so easy....

Man, so true.

So True ! We all act as mirrors for each other , and a sudden change can be terrifying .

lbdhoyte I wanted to like this but it’s at 111 likes and I don’t wanna change it to 112 😂

Congratulations Sir! I'm 5 years sober this month myself! It was the best thing I ever did as well!

Nice, I don’t mean to one up you but i’m 17 years sober😎🤷‍♂️...to be fair I’m only 17 years old😂.

@@elijahnapp don't start..it's a waste of time and money

...and health.

Eli N yeah I’m 14 year sober and I’m 14 years old I’m just naturally crazy. Lol! I have no interest in dugs or alcohol.

I like that quote. I'm going to adopt it :)

SaltyDad why do people keep saying that? KZfaq is not a true social media. Yes you can talk to people and stuff, but it's mostly entertainment, educational and pretty much whatever you want it to be

I dont have facebook or any others, it's great.

Joeak74 Well said brother. Facebook is a is a bathroom wall in a bad bar. It grabs the life out of people and makes zombies out of our youth.

I enjoy drinking in moderation, it’s a free country still, so enjoy what you want .:)

Since Trump got in... I cant get a day off. 7 days a week, 75 hours... last two years. Saving everything, because these leftists will eventually get control again. Then I get the next 4 years off.

Amen to this!

Yes, I’m 15 years sober. My life is much, much better.

I’m pleased and proud to hear this as a fellow Christian and abstainer. God bless and Godspeed brother Cody!!

35 years for me and I am not a Christian, but i do believe in a 'higher power'.

Congadulation on 35 years Swamp rat ,36 years for me and i am a Christian with a higher power also.

Congrats, 9 yrs here.

No booze no pot or 🚬 Clean and sober. Rocks

Bread& Butter need a little hair of the dog

Always a reason the Lord works in mysterious ways

Stay strong brother!!

Thank you that means a lot.

Be encouraged. 💪

Thank you! Never going back!

@@rednecktech70 Thanks brother!

Smoking...oh man, that is probably the toughest. Congratulations.

Good on you! Drinking was no prob (was scared to drink with medication I had to take) but smoking has me bad! I've always been one to not let things control me & to do whatever I set my mind to but I'm losing this battle....any tips (35+ yrs smoking)?

kgs2127 I don’t have any experience with smoking, but it seems like the kind of thing counselling and a support network would be good for. Have you talked with your GP about this?

@@kgs2127 I smoked for around 7ish years. I used a champix (a pill, champix is the canadian branding of this pill. If you're in America, the name is similar I believe) to quit. They say to take 2 pills per day (1 morn, 1 night) but I only took it on the morning. If I took it at night I couldn't sleep (tossed and turned all night). However, it took me around 8 attempts of stopping and starting to stay quit. I usually quit for a month or more then did the stupid mistake of having 1 smoke because of the temptation of the addiction or to releave some stress (which caused the cravings to come back). The last attempt was the easiest because I was fed up of failing of getting rid of the addiction. The first 6 months are the hardest, but once you're quit for that long its all downhill if you want to stay quit. I do have very light cravings but the thought of starting again (along of the self disappointment/guilt I would have if i did start again) overrules the feeling of that craving. Also, something else that helped me. Something that motivated me to want to quit more so. Personally, it was hope that once I quit I would find an amazing girl that I would call my wife one day. Hasn't happened yet but the hope is still there and it helped to quit and to stay quit for good. My thoughts and prayers to you on your battle of quitting!

save yourself, go mgtow

@@GregSilverado The MGTOW movement is for betas, who do not know what it means to be a man. The few I have actually met, seemed to be a part of that movement involuntarily. Haha

Avoid the classic pitfalls. Gambling, drinking, and drugs.

@@saxonsoldier67 and laziness

@@paintballjunkie65 The MGTOW movement is an offshoot of the feminist movement and can affect any male archetype. i.e. I don't want to miss one moment with my wife, but I have seen friends hook up with women who demean them until they finally leave, then they rob them.

Yea I Belive this to be Very True !

chickensfloat_ on_dirtbikes you must not remember that whole walking on water story very well then. 😂

So you quit drinking for smoking? LOL

Stay strong that's a commitment u won't regret it

Praise God!

Did you mean a litre a day , a litre a week is basically like being t total in Ulster.

@@andrewspence7635 I drink about 1.5 ltr of whisky a week or indeed whiskey and I cant recall ever being drunk.

I'm trying to take a break myself but I'm necking up to 700Ml (common bottle size in NZ) a night (not every night I'm usually too hung the next day)

torreyintahoe no wonder cal-fire is soo useless

After 31 years in the fire service never saw abuse of alcohol. Just social drinking off duty.

Never met a torrey. respect should make the world go round.

Daniel Francis Please note: Cody never called himself an alcoholic. (wisely)

You are right, it does sneak up on you. I noticed it when I was about 19 years old and I wasn't supposed to have any alcohol for a week; at first it felt strange, I was moody... and I thought, wow, I had no idea I was drinking too much or too often. I thought that was such an odd thing that it could get ahold of a person without them realizing it. I never forgot that. . .

Devin Townsend

Addiction. Denial. Dishonesty, mostly with themselves. People don't like to have the problems from which they turn their hearts and minds brought to the surface. Fear also, plus resistance to change. I reckon it all boils down to ego and resistance to self analysis. Deep down it hurts them to hear about something know deep down enslaves them. It's very uncomfortable, so dislike. The struggle is real, we all have different weaknesses and challenges. Self analyze and strive to be the best you can, which means improvement, which means change, which is sometimes initially extremely uncomfortable. It's worth it though. Get better every day.

Most likely the Christian vibe. A lot of non-relgious people don't want to hear that rhetoric.

Jealousy

Charles Brown - that’s pretty humble. God bless brother.

Whaaaaattttt you're a sinner????

Thanks Charlie We all have problems and all all short of the glory of God Whit His grace may we all do better

Benjamin Ruckman It’s really nice they are an awesome family!

I once thought I made a mistake, but I was wrong.

Hey Dutch! You guys both do great vids.

How do you do that on youtube?

Heyo Dutch! Man, It's weird how God works. Heard about you on Daniel's channel "Arms Family Homestead" haha

Those wasnt real Christians you were speaking of...Jesus said "let one who is free of sin, cast the first stone"....The ones that were judging you were thinking like Pharisees instead of true Christ Followers (John 8:7).

My the Loed give you strength and a new vision for life.

If you feel it becomes a problem then its smart for you to stop for a while! Best of luck, don't let it control your life, control it and make it your ally :D

IF they were true "Christians" they should agree and should have understood that only because of God's love they will have a chance in the afterlife. So, IMHO, a fair comment of You toward any self-proclaimed Christian. Peace.

How stuppit you are stop drinking

Norman Buitta Ya man ... you have over a million subs it’s gonna happen... keep moving forward

Christians stabbing at christians and thinking they are doing the work of God. Yet we forgive them because they do not yet realise what they do.

Why not before? Applying lessons learned here think of the money time & energy you'll have for those reno's. Building is my way of blowing off steam so a project would be my go to when quitting. Blessings from G-ma Kathy❤

I don't know why someone would hate you for that. That's something to be proud of, really. Alcohol feels good sometimes, but it brings nothing positive to your life at all. It hinders your potential, the same way drugs do, except alcohol is legal and socially acceptable.

I can't explain why but some people are haters and they feel the need to throw hate around. Keep up the good work

Gen Chang Gen Chang I’m 45 and I’ve learned a ton. You’re a lucky kid, I wish I’d had a wranglerstar when I was your age.

15 here to I have problems and happily I have someone like cody to help me learn thing that will help me later in life I'm so happy to have been born in the time of life and glad to know that I will have lessons to learn form my elders like cody happy to know I'm not the only youngen here to learn from him

Probably won't see this, but thank you for putting that first video out. I've always wanted to test my drinking, the last 15 years, longest I've been dry is a couple days. Today is day 11, I feel fantastic. Thanks again.👌

This. This is why your channel is so important, Cody. This is why you must keep going.

@@kove Keep at it, the stuff is poison.

Bread& Butter not just from the money I spent on alcohol, the type of people that where willing to pay me and the amount they where willing, to do work for them is amazing. They told it cause I’m worth it. To find well crafted, diverse, trusting and sober are a rare characteristic in the field we are in.

Congrats, I agree. 9 yrs here.

Nice, needed to hear that!

I actually can't tell at this point. Is there one?

In desperate need of *abandonment. The ancient Orthodox Church is the fullness of Truth. “Reformation” is how the modern church arrived where it is.

@@ImTakinMeFishin disagree at the highest possible level....Jesus Christ, The Word is the fullness of truth.

Thingamujigger not reformation...Revelation... The revelation of who Jesus really is

@@hillbillyheadcam1729 a fraud? Give it a few hundred years the world will have a new diety to worship. Zeus used to be held in higher regard than jesus remember that. Your birthplace geography often dictates your spiritual beliefs.

Backwoodsmachinist haha youre funny. Its been thousands of years and the mighty name of Jesus still reigns supreme. Even so much so that it gets under peoples skin like yours because you rage against your Creator in your heart. Is the name of zues world renound and the fame of all the miraculous works he did has spread all over the world?Do we base our own calendar and system of keeping time from zues. Are peoples lives transformed by zues? Did zoos predict things thousands of years ago that come true in this age with startling accuracy?I think not. Every knee will bow and every tounge confess that Jesus is Lord!
