QUICK NOTE: I don't believe that the Withings scale is accurate when it comes to bodyfat %. Don't get hung up on the numbers, but rather that body fat has been going down and muscle mass has been going up with no other change to my diet or exercise from before I quit drinking.

I quit drinking almost every morning for 22 years. After 29 years sober, I still have nightmares that I'm drunk . I wake up with a clear mind and am thankful it was a nightmare. Want to stop drinking permanently? Stop romanticizing alcohol and look at the real effects. Next urge, instead of thinking about "having a good time" , think about running over some kid on a bike and them trapped under your car screaming while you're staggering around the car. I thank the Lord everyday I never hurt anyone driving home from a "good time". BTW, it gets much easier after a full year of sobriety .

I was a chronic alcoholic for about 35 years. I ended up in hospital for 9 weeks and then in a home for 3 years. I had Korsakoff's and couldn't even stand up without falling over. I've now not had a drink in over 5 years and definitely feel alive again.

I wish more people would realize, like you, that most people are not the best version of themselves when they drink. I've never known anything really and truly good come from drinking alcohol.

I made a commitment to abstain from alcohol for 30 days. I am now at 40 days. My daughter passed away in August and I found myself drinking daily, and, like you, I like good wine. When I opened a bottle, I drank the whole bottle. I realized how futile that was. It changed nothing except how I felt. And that was lazy and lethargic and generally crappy. Will I drink again? Probably. But not as a crutch. Right now, I have no desire to imbibe. Thank you for your honesty.

100 days is a great achievement, my friend. Well done. Having talked to a counselor from a professional rehab clinic, for most people it takes about 6-8 months being sober for the brain to rewire itself fully. There's a sort of "fog" that lifts, that you never knew was there. I recently stopped nicotine use. I have smoked cigs from my 18th birthday, and never thought I would quit. I switched to vaping to taper down, and stopped completely a few months ago. I caved and bought cigs once, but doing good resisting the temptation otherwise.

Just like we don’t need carbs we definitely don’t need alcohol, very proud of you Steve

i gave up alcohol in April after deciding to do the chicago marathon. Best thing I ever did. I had drank steady and somewhat hard and very consistently for 20+ years. The first couple weeks and even months were tough. Then I tried athletic NA beer. That really helped. But I was able to train properly and finish the marathon last month. After the marathon I drank some beers. Two things happened. 1: I got fairly drunk off of 2-3 beers. 2: I realized I much preferred my life with no alcohol than I did with alcohol. As of November 1, i am alcohol free, back on keto, and ready to take my life to the next level. Thanks for the videos and go pack go.

I personally feel that your decision to NOT say you’ll never drink again is a great one. As humans, once we say you can NEVER have it again, things get really tough for some of us. It puts a lot of pressure on us. That said, I think everyone is different. Some people need meetings and need to stop totally. I have many dear friends who go to meetings. Your challenge, which I took and was successful with was an eye opener for me. I drink a lot less now. So sincerely happy for you and your decision. I roast coffee (I have a commercial coffee roaster in my house). If for some reason you would like the BEST cup of coffee you will ever have, I would be happy to send you a pound of coffee (my gift) when you end your coffee “fast”. Thanks again for all you do for us.

I made the decision yesterday to stop drinking after four decades. I called and made an appointment to see a rehab counselor for Friday morning and got on KZfaq to try to find videos and testimonials that would encourage me and help motivate me. Thank you for this video! I'm about your same age and I'm also from Wisconsin and a big Packers fan so it just seemed that I was looking in a mirror sometimes watching you. Wish me luck! Dave.

Steve, life without purpose is a life not worth living. Your purpose is being the man that your family needs and wants. Congrats! Keep living for the purpose.

I’m so happy for anyone who beats an addiction , definitely life changing. I stopped drinking a year ago and i’m totally convinced I would have never lost 107 lbs if I hadn’t . Love being a chill person too 💝 I love coffee tho ☕️ I’m thinking I should cut down but it’s very helpful, my work day starts at 6am , maybe when I retire 🤷🏻‍♀️. Happy Easter 🐣 to you and your family ✝️

Not to sound too "zen" but you're right to stay in the moment of how you're feeling. One day at a time is the best way to handle most things in life, whether deciding to have a drink or grappling with life in general - yesterday is gone and tomorrow will bring new information, so stay happy and content in the moment. Well done, Steve.

There’s a few things that sadden me in life. One is alcohol. It can either relax you after a rough day or it can kill you. It killed my grandpa aunt and uncles. Literally. I can drink and not touch it for a month or more. I enjoy it I don’t have to have it. It saddens me that people, some people , can’t enjoy it. It rules their life. It’s hard to kick. But I know people who have become sober and I respect them so much because how hard it is! I did adkins in 03’ and in his book he said if you can take a bite of chocolate and be satisfied eat the chocolate. If you eat the whole thing you can’t have a bite. I’m a have a bite person. Good job Steve. Most people don’t get in touch with their body and how they feel like you. This is one challenge I’m proud of you for!

This is such a sweet, heartfelt video! Sounds like giving up alcohol really has made you a better person. God bless you and your family! 💜

Hearing all good news, Steve. Congratulations! Would be great if America realized sugar stimulates the same centers of the brain as alcohol. Too much money in the way of that message. So happy to see you happy, my friend.

I grew up in a family where alcolism was an issue and some of my older brothers had drug addiction too. It was a violent and very dysfunctional atmosphere. I am glad for you and I hope you decide to continue without it. You seem happier and seem to smile more in your videos.

Carnivore and OMAD for 8 months, just about at my target weight, but stalled. Quit drinking, something I said Id never do, and BOOM lost 5 pounds. Vodka BTW. The BEST part tho, is the lack of anxiety! A lot of personal and business stress and I just have this "ok we'll handle this" attitude. It is a nice and unexpected change after 30 years. I was a pretty laid back young person, am I getting back to the real me?! LOL Thanks Steve, your making a difference.

Immediate impression on opening the video ‘wow his skin looks better and he’s lost weight on his face. Looks happier too’ I’d say from an outward perspective it’s having a good effect! Glad the effects you are feeling are showing. Well done for getting to 100 days!

I am 58, woman, eat almost perfectly, workout every day, and also drink 1 or 2 glasses of wine every day for years and years. Needed it every single evening. 11 days ago, I had 1 and half glasses at a restaurant, and felt totally drunk. For hours. Scared me sober. I quit that night. It's been 11 days. I feel you and your points 100%! I have headaches and fogginess last 2 days. But I am SO proud each morning when I realize I had a normal sleep because of no alcohol. I can't wait to have 100 days under my belt. Please say a prayer of strength for me! I will do the same for all of you. One day at a time, we've got this!!! ❤

Worst decision I ever made was marrying my ex husband. Alcohol is why he is my ex, I’m not the drinker in this scenario. Fortunately alcohol has never been an issue for me, I drink maybe 4-5 times a year. Unfortunately smoking is an issue for me that I have repeatedly failed at quitting. I have faith that it will happen eventually.

I can truly say you look 10 years younger! Your expressions are so much softer and it’s very obvious you have a happy soul! How wonderful that you chose to take the “less travelled” road! You are reaping the rich benefits…… definitely a wise choice!

I'm soooo proud of you! I was wondering how you were doing with your drinking. Thank you for being open and honest about your journey. Overcoming an addiction is monumental! I'm trying to cut way back on carbs (because I'm a type 2 diabetic) and it's so hard. I'm so impressed by how you've been able to change your life in this way!

Congratulations on your achievement, Steve. Your list of things to consider regarding alcohol is stellar. Thank goodness, my decision making WASN’T influenced by alcohol. My childhood trauma-induced ANGER and reactions, though, have left my life a bit of a wasteland, especially relationships! Major EMDR therapy has helped there. For me, the worst “addiction” is to sweets, which has now been reduced by a higher fat diet which has created a kind of satiation. I eat less, overall. I’m saving money on food, generally, because I’m not as hungry as I used to be. High carb foods? Not as much of a draw. I know what they do to me, so I don’t eat (or drink) them! Your vulnerability in these videos is spectacular, Steve! Thanks for sharing.

I went over three years without alcohol when I went keto, to clean my liver. I missed enjoying red wine with dinner on occasion, but I was never a drinker-at least since college. Otherwise, I didn't miss it. I got some hard seltzers for New Year's Eve, and quickly found I didn't care about them. I still have half of them in my garage. Oddly, I still haven't had wine. So, I'm no longer abstaining, but I'm not really drinking, either. I decided I'd rather be in ketosis, unless some occasion comes up.

So very happy for you, Steve. I got tears in my eyes listening to your success. This topic is close to my heart, due to friends and family who have suffered, sincerely suffered and in some instances died from alcohol. I pray for all to conquer that devil.

Exactly. When I'm drinking, I'm not the best person I can be. Well said.

Congratulations Steve❗❗🎈 You are inspiring & empowering so many who "choose" to to "hear" your wisdom🧐 My goal is not perfection...it is improving contentment😊🙏😊💝

Strength and power to overcome self is a treasure. Well done!!

Congrats on the 100 days. I started drinking when in Vietnam, and over did it for awhile. I quit in the late 1960s; it was the best decision of my life. I don't miss it at all. What ever you decide; I wish you all the best. Take care and thank you for these interesting and informative videos.

Congrats Steve from across the pond in mich . I was a drinker for 40 years and also a Christian . But my spiritual connection has greatly improved as a result of not drinking . I am walking tall with my head held Hi as sober as a man can be .

When I was in my 20's, an older friend told me he quit drinking because of his lack of judgement when imbibing. The message didn't strike home until I was 35 and risking my life and health with my poor judgement, so I quit and my decision making improved tremendously. Thirty years later, I've only been drunk once, sharing a bottle of single malt with my sister on her 50th birthday, but otherwise it's just one short glass of scotch to toast America on Independence Day. I don't miss it at all.

After a fair bit of reflection and ongoing research I recently made the decision to stop drinking and so much of what you've said really resonated with me. Thanks for posting your journey. It's really helped me reinforce my own decision.

So well spoken...I decided to stop my "Daily Glass of Wine" (or two) when I modified my diet. Keto modified, with no dairy or wheat. No problem because I'd have a shot of gin or vodka now and then instead. Now, like you mentioned, I feel so good that I don't even want that. I usually have only water. If it is a social occasion, I may or may not have a drink, and only ONE. Other drinking folks seem to have more of a problem with those who don't drink, which is odd to me. The rare morning after a drink, my face looks drawn and tired, compared to smiley and perky otherwise. And yes, I noticed that you do glow. All in all, I feel great & have smooth energy all day...not bad for mid-60's!! One cup of java in AM with MCT oil takes me to my daily meal. Thank you for being an N of one! I enjoy your channel.

I haven't watched your videos in a while been busy setting up my new garden space, I just watched this video and you do look different, you look 15 years younger than when I first started watching your channel, your skin looks amazing. And I can see your weight loss. I bet your family is really proud of you. Good for you.

I’m glad for you and anyone who stops drinking. The benefits are real!

Bravo Steve. What a beautiful man you are revealing to yourself and to all of us. I am realizing the older I get how many people around me have battled with alcohol. I am thankful every day that I personally put it down shortly after college, and dropped a few drinking buddies as friends. It was horribly difficult at the time, but was probably a decision that saved my life.

Congrats on this Steve. I stopped drinking in 2016, originally for a month while I prepared for a 5 day athletic intensive I was traveling to attend. At the time, I was a very regular drinker, and in my 50’s. I so enjoyed the way I felt without alcohol, that I just kept it up, and haven’t looked back. I resonated with a lot of the points you made in this talk. After the 5 years plus that I’ve been a non-drinker, I can’t imagine becoming a regular drinker ever again. Good luck with whatever choices you make, I get a feeling that you’re on course, continuing to become a better version of yourself. Excelsior!

I am so impressed with your achievement and your eloquence in stating how it has changed your life. I 'commit' to quitting drinking on a regular basis, but I don't follow through. I think I am not good at commitment, as I also don't stay true to myself on my 'commitment' to stop sugar and crap food. I make it a few days and then cave. You are an inspiration, and I just want you to know that I appreciate you and your willingness to share your experience. My best to you and your family.

I haven't had alcohol for over 130 days and I don't miss it one bit. Got through Christmas with ease. Apart from my university days, I didn't abuse alcohol. I was a very light drinker when I decided to go cold turkey. The transition for me was very easy but I can see it being difficult for many.

Congrats on 100 days Steve!!!! Ive posted here a number of times about myself stopping drinking. 3 years at the end of August. I to feel great!!! I have all the same positives your talking about.The cravings get less and less. Never thought id go to family functions or xmas partys with family and friends and not drink and have it not even phase me. Wish i stopped even sooner. Oh and congrats on 200k subs!

100 days! 🎉🎉🎉 That’s not nothing! Congratulations! May sound silly, but I’m proud of you! I’m very happy for you!

Congrats on your 100 days of being sober!! That’s a HUGE accomplishment!! 🎉🎉I’m in that transition right now and the days after a sober night are MUCH easier to deal with in most ways. I find better mental clarity, energy, and mood! And, like you and many others, I’m definitely NOT my best self when I’ve been drinking. It’s sad because some of the best people I’ve known are wonderful people when sober, but can be horrible when they’ve been drinking. My stepdad was a prime example as I was growing up. He was the most gentle, playful, and generous person you could know, but when the alcohol was in charge he became a nasty person. I never had an issue until more recently, so it hasn’t been long. But, I regret the things I’ve said and done while drinking. I’m so glad you shared your experience and it’s helped me to open my eyes to my own issue with alcohol. Thank you so much, Steve!! You’re definitely an inspiration 😇

Just love your honesty and sharing your journey. I had a real addiction to smoking cannabis from age 18 until 60. After a bad car accident in 2018 due to black ice, and the resulting concussion, the pot monkey that had it's paws dug deep into me disappeared. For 42 years I lived in a Cheech and Chong haze. Wonder what life might have been if I'd never smoked that first joint.

Not to brag but my blood pressure is 100/60 and I drink regularly. I do walk almost daily about a mile. Makes a big difference. I also of course am low carb, besides the alcohol. I might quit myself, I do know it's not really good for you ( I like to drink a lot). The other option I'm considering is just severely limit it, maybe one drink a day. I did quit entirely for 6 months when I was diagnosed with diabetes to get my A1c down to 5.6. Great job on cutting off the alcohol! You're inspiring to many.

Beautiful words Steve! I’ll be spending my summer working in Door County ( the drinking thumb of Wisconsin) and I’m going to take your challenge so as to not make any of the stupid decisions I made as a young person growing up there under the influence. Living the best version of ourselves sounds like a perfect mantra for the summer “going home”

Good for you man. When my kids were born, I had a very similar discussion with myself.....and my single malt scotch collection collected dust for the next 20 years. we eventually gave it away. I could not reconcile with myself what I would do if I went to be after a few shots and in 2 hours had to rush one of my kids to Emergency (which did happen a few times)....and I would not be able to. I am DAD, some things are you r responsibility and that is one of them...so that was that. My wife and I maybe share a beer once a month....once ever two months? A clear head is very very valuable so yes, am with you all the way on this. Good for you. Cheers, jim

I know you are so proud of yourself! You are rocking it! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! You are helping so many of us! Thank you!

Great job Steve. I find a lot of similarities between myself and you as far as alcohol is concerned. Personally I’m on day seven of giving it up. I’m definitely not an alcoholic but the older I get the more I realize that it gets in the way of a lot of things. Sleep, Family functions, weight loss goals, processing emotions and the list goes on and on. I agree with a lot of comments that you are an inspiration to many. Keep it up!

Was a heavy drinker in my 30s and mid 40s,been sober for almost 10 years, started a keto diet at 50,and lost 100 pounds, kept it off fasting and keto/carnivore, I will never drink another drop of alcohol again.

Very happy for you Steve. Thanks for sharing.

Good for you and good for your liver, alcohol and fructose are toxic, when you know the science it's an easier decision. We love the job you are doing, you help more people than you know. THANKS 👍❤️

Very powerful testimony! Well done, sir! I am fortunate that I can't stand hard liquor, and wine tastes like spoiled Koolaid to me...now I do like a good beer but since going Keto if I have more than 2, I feel like doggie doodie!

So happy for you Steve! Glad you are finding some Zen. I too was once a drinker but one day it just did not appeal to me. Yes I might have a frozen beverage on vacation at the beach but getting a buzz just isn't appealing anymore. Food is my addiction unfortunately.

Steve - You are ONE CLASS ACT! Aside from your website and the meticulous way you carry out the food taste/testing experiments, I admire and appreciate who are as a person. Thank you for being real and sharing who you are with us. 🙏 Congrats on this milestone. I pray that your life and your health continue to prosper. You're amazing. ❤️

Steve...I must say...this video made me more emotional than all the others. Emotional in a good way. I have followed you through this journey from the beginning. You have the most honest, relaxed yet so powerful demeanor in this video that I have ever seen you do. I do believe this video is going to help many! I am so proud of you! You look very strong and confident. Yes your color looks good too. You really have done a fantastic job over these 100 days!!! Huge milestone!!...Thank you, Steve for allowing me on this journey with you. Good job well done !!!

Congrats and thank you for being honest, and for sharing your experiences. I’ve been watching most of your videos for a while now, and I was so shocked when you first admitted that you see yourself as an alcoholic. Please don’t take offense, I mean this from an objective point of view. Here’s why: You are very disciplined, you care about your health, you go to extremes to monitor changes,and your life’s work is continuous improvement. It surprised me that you would willingly do something commonly known to confuse thinking , increase risky behaviors, and lead to poor choices. Also at $300 /month , it seems financially unwise. 🤔 I’m so glad that you are sharing your findings, both measurable and subjective. I’m sure it will help others. I’d love to hear what your wife and other family members notice about the changes in you. When you talked about Conner’s laid back attitude ,and how you are experiencing that now for yourself , I couldn’t help but think about how so many people never experience that~how the changes they make in themselves help those around them. Again, congrats on your personal growth and improvement Steve! Thank you for sharing!👏👍😊

Good vid Steve. Hardest thing about being a retiree is how many peoples activities rotate around drinking

HOORAY FOR YOU!!! I’ve never had a drinking problem, but food has had the same hold on me! I’ll be 79 in May and trying to get healthy, and so glad I found your videos! My biggest fear is causing my children problems before I kick the bucket, and you talking about your journey has certainly been helping me! Thank God you are so open. My daughter talked me into moving from north Idaho to her home in Arizona, God bless my trucker son-in-law!, but I have lost a lot of control of my life and being able to see people like you is helping me. THANKS so much, I am looking forward to spending time watching you, and enjoy seeing your family participate! You are an inspiration to be better every day. Stay safe ~ Sher

Good job congrats Life changing it is I'm happy for you. Don't start again it will be hard to stop. 5 years for me in June I wish I had stopped sooner I'm 62.

Thank you for your open and honest testimony. God bless you. 🕊

It is a big deal. Congratulations!! My daughter is a drug addict I so wish she would give it up she is 41 and has been doing it since she was 14. You give need give yourself credit. You made the decision to quit and made the decision to stay with it for 100 days!!! Great job!

The improvement in blood pressure alone, would be a great reason to stay away from alcohol. Thank you for the update. You inspire me.

congratulations Steve!

Congratulations, Steve! It's great that you care enough about yourself, your quality of life and your loved ones to make very meaningful positive changes! I'm sure your family is enjoying the "New Steve" just like you are! Although I don't drink and haven't for many years now, I have a very simple thought process that I use about food bc my health is not great. It's not just about staying on keto, it's also about staying healthy. So, if something is questionable, I ask myself this question, "do you want to get better or do you want to get worse?" Putting it in this way forces me to think about the fact that eating certain things has a negative impact on my health which helps me put the brakes on instead of mindlessly putting something in my mouth that's not the greatest! God bless you for being such a positive role model to others in these days where excessive drinking is celebrated in movies, in commercials, in songs and very sadly, in many many lives!

Such profound content. Steve’s journey has blessed us all. Thanks for sharing - this is helpful on so many levels.

Nice video, Steve. Always good stuff! I am very happy for you! Your channel was the Keto channel I stumbled upon a year or two ago. It might also be the only channel I view on a consistent basis now. I always gain something. Wish you and your family!

Looking back on your many comments about whether to continue this channel, I hope you realize now that although the channel is very helpful to us, it's your continuing contributions for us that have made your life more meaningful. Well done!

So very proud of you Steve! I grew up w/ alcoholics and saw such destruction.. Wishing you health and happiness for your lifes journey!

This is an important topic Steve! It should be talked about. I still remember having a bottle of beer a 9 am ( granted I worked at night- so I justified it as my evening) but seeing my 7 yr old son looking at me drinking in the morning like this is normal and ok… it’s wasn’t, - it wasn’t ok and I wasn’t ok… I missed valuable time with my family (that lasted a few years… including holidays and the like) because i stayed intoxicated…now I am present each day with my family and it feels amazing. I learned that I needed to accept and deal with my emotions not drown then in alcohol. Thanks for sharing Steve. Its a good thing to be sober minded.

Three cheers, Steve (not alcoholic, lol) for all of the progress you've made and shared with us! You're such a positive inspiration for us, that yours is the only channel that I have been inspired to be a member of because of all of the different content that you put out and how willing you've been to share such personal parts of your journey.

Steve thank you for sharing!! Your words are what I’ve been trying to say for years!! I no longer have a desire for a drink… realizing it’s not my best version of myself!!❤❤❤ again thank you.

Good work Steve, like you say there is nothing special about 100 days…the only day that really matters is today.

Steve, appreciate your sincerity and thorough explanation of effects of no alcohol. Hope all who need this, see it. Will pass along. And, you are glowing now! 😊

Thanks you so much !!! I started keto last Augest.i lost 40 lbs. So when i came across this pod cast about drinking. I felt so connected with your thoughts. This video was ment to be seen by me. Thankyou.

Thanks for sharing your journey with alcohol and keto! You're an inspiration for many.

Such a soothing voice to listen to. I appreciate your work here

Steve that is a great accomplishment. Amazing what you can accomplish when you recognize and yield to a higher power.

Amazing achievement, Steve! Really impressed by the realization that one is not the best version of themselves when under the influence of alcohol! Proud of you if that makes sense haha.

Very well done Steve. And this, combined with Rob Cwyes’ thoughts on the carb addiction model makes it very relevant to your viewers. Good insights on how to change one day at a time. Thank you!

Kudos to you and the changes this will bring to your family. My husband is early in his recovery from alcohol. Him becoming a friend of Bill W is one of the biggest and best things he could have done. I have more alcoholics in my family than I can count and my being a friend of Lois has helped me immensely. You look very relaxed, rested and happy…the fog Has lifted from you and you will continue to see the changes in your life and health. Just for today, right? You’ve got this!💕

As I was listening, before you even mentioned it, I was thinking that your skin really looks good. Congrats on the 100 day milestone, I'm at 356 days without liquor, mainly for my Kidneys as I've been diagnosed with moderate kidney disease. Keep up the good work.

I have not checked in with your videos for a bit and my FIRST thought was “you look younger to me.” Your skin does looks good and maybe its your hair which looks good too. So whatever you are doing…keep doing it. I am so happy for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

I think 100 days is brilliant (especially since this video is already 3 months old and it's likely much more by now)!!! I stopped drinking alcohol 11 years ago and I don't say that to belittle your achievement, but to say, that with me it also started with 1 day, 1 week, 30 days, 100 days and so on and so on. You are on a journey that started with the first step, just like any other journey. I can report the same results that stopping alcohol had for you. Blood pressure, weight loss, calmness and general mental health, general wellbeing etc. Good on you! Keep it going! 🙏🏽😎

WOW, you've had several revelations about drinking and I applaud you. I have also realized as I get older, like we all do I guess, that we are better without it. It really impacts how I feel as far as arthritis and just a general feeling of crappiness. Wish I had this revelation twenty years ago. Three hundred dollars is a huge chunk of change, I'd start planning a nice long vacation with saving that. I definitely have had drinking impact my joints and never really realized it till after I quit then started and then quit again. Like you, I'm not saying never again, because I do like a beer every now and again. But, then again, I hate the sore joints that inevitably come back the very next day. I do notice a difference in my face also and hydration the next day. Very eloquent video.

Awesome sobering reflection on what alcohol use can steal from us. Great summary.

Congratulations on hitting the 100 day goal... Thank you for being so brave to share this challenge with us, I am sure this has been helpful to some and motivational to all.

Great video. Have you been able to go out and get some good walks in? Some of the ETOH units I worked would insist that our patients get outside and get fresh air. One place, in Oregon, had great walking areas right next to the facility. One day, a patient tapped me on the shoulder and said, “This is amazing! I’m noticing how green the grass is, the blue of the sky. Never saw these things when I drank.” After that, I started asking people if they were noticing all these things more. Almost always, the answer was positive. So getting outside to just enjoy things is important, and a high of its own.

Wow, You look amazing! I mean you always looked good, but I literally said "WoW! out loud when this video started. I have never commented but really wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your vids and have learned so much and made and tried new things because of you and I always have a great result. Furthermore, I saw when you started this 100+ day journey and I am so impressed. I'm amazed how you were able to grab the bull by the horns and all the heartfelt reflection you have embraced! You're Amazing and I sincerely mean from the inside out! So happy for you and your beautiful family. I look forward to your content and Thank you so much for all the effort and candor you put forth. Blessings! -Holly

I just started a dry January from drinking almost every night and getting drunk on the weekends. Even after a week of no alcohol I’m sold on how bad it was for me to drink that much. The first thing I noticed was how amazing it is to wake up on a Saturday morning NOT hungover. It’s transformed my weekends and in turn the rest of my week. Totally worth it if you’re drinking as much as I did. The money I’m saving is nice and I tip and give more money away as a result. That’s also been nice and beneficial. The biggest downside I’m seeing so far is that bartenders do not like me asking for water. Not the end of the world.

You’re a legend man appreciate you!! Hope you’re still doing well

Wonderful testimony Steve! Still cheering you on! I love how transparent you are so very much! You are an inspiration!

I am on the same journey. 4 weeks now. I felt so bad at the end when still drinking. If I drink eating too much comes along. I picked up weight and my blood pressure went up quite significantly. My overall conditions were bad. Since 4 weeks I am on Keto and off alkohol. I feel so much better. My blood pressure and weight did reduce and as you say I feel like another version of me. My mind is clear and open for new things. I hope I can stay on track. For me Alkohol is a big trap and I have fallen in for a too long time. Everyone is different but for me alkohol is destroying my life although I was never a alcoholic

I am a teetotaler and even I know 100 hundred days without anything is important and worth celebrating. You can not compare your struggle to anyone else. This is your story SHOUT IT! Congratulations

After having a family member that was an alcoholic, it was such a deterrent. I never had any in my life and have no desire to do so. Kudos to stopping it. There is no way people understand what it does until you are away from it. I’m glad I never started!

Hi Steve. I’m watching this seven months after you’ve posted it but still want to say thank you for being vulnerable and for your honesty. I’m happy for you that you are able to acknowledge this area of your life needed change and you took the initiative to do it. Congratulations on your success!

Congratulations on your sober streak. Keep it up

Hi Steve what an awesome video. I'm so thrilled for you. My real dad was an alcoholic. Alcohol changes your life as well as the people around. Sad my dad was never part of my life. You are doing a wonderful thing for yourself as well as your family. Prayers to you and your family. Also want to wish you "Happy Easter"

This is great to hear! It’s very inspiring. I’ve had sober periods, but never more than 4-5 months outside of my pregnancies. I struggle with complete sobriety, and this is inspiring.

Thanks for sharing your journey, I know you have helped more people than you will ever know.
